Lingxiao Sect!

Tianyu Peak!

A middle-aged man appeared here with a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The girl had skin as white as snow, a face of extraordinary beauty, long eyelashes, and a pair of beautiful, large, lively eyes.

The girl asked the stern-faced middle-aged man curiously, "Uncle, can't I become your disciple?"

The middle-aged man replied, "I already have three personal disciples and five inner disciples. I'm afraid I won't have the time to teach you."

"Shao, from Tianyu Peak, only has two disciples. If you become his disciple, you can be his personal disciple."

"I'll take you to find his second disciple while Shao and his eldest disciple are away."

The girl blinked, puzzled, "Why do I need to find his second disciple first?"

The middle-aged man's face showed a hesitant expression, and he finally said, "If you get along well with his second disciple, it will be easier for you to become a disciple."

The girl looked at the middle-aged man, "Uncle, you're not being honest with me."

"Are you lying to me?"

The middle-aged man was about to say something when he suddenly noticed something not far away, "We're here."

The girl followed the direction the middle-aged man was pointing to.

Not far away, there was an open space with a large tree in it.

On a branch of the tree, a small bird the size of a fist stood, with red feathers, looking very cute.

Under the tree was a hammock, and a young man was lying in it, swaying back and forth.

As they approached, the girl noticed that the young man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a sharp brow and bright eyes, very handsome.

He was reading a Tianji card with great interest.

Her uncle, the middle-aged man, approached and greeted him with a smile, "Shaoqing!"

His tone made the girl feel slightly fawning, as if he was trying to please the young man.

The young man's gaze shifted from the Tianji card to the middle-aged man and the girl, and he replied, "It's Uncle Xiao. Are you here to see Master?"

"Master isn't here. Oh, and neither is the eldest disciple."

After saying that, he moved comfortably, and the hammock continued to sway.

The girl was surprised by the young man's attitude towards her uncle.

Her uncle, Xiao Chuang, was the peak master of Chiyue Peak, already at the Yuan Ying stage, not only a skilled practitioner of the Lingxiao Sect but also a well-known expert in Qizhou.

Now he was fawning over this young man?

Then her uncle, Xiao Chuang, introduced the girl, "Xiao Yi, this is the second disciple of Tianyu Peak, Lu Shaoqing. You can call him Second Senior Brother."

Although Xiao Yi didn't understand what was so special about the young man, she obediently followed the instructions.

She sweetly called out, "Second Senior Brother, hello!"

Her voice was as pleasant as a lark, and Lu Shaoqing couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Xiao Chuang smiled at Lu Shaoqing, "Shaoqing, what do you think of this girl?"

Lu Shaoqing hurriedly said, "Uncle Xiao, if you have something to ask Master or the eldest disciple, come back tomorrow. They'll be back then."

"I'm very busy, I don't have time."

After saying that, he jumped off the hammock and was about to run away.

Xiao Chuang quickly grabbed Lu Shaoqing, "Don't run."

"I have something to ask you, Senior Uncle."

Lu Shaoqing

urgently said, "Uncle Xiao, we have no grudges. Don't harm me."

"Even using a beauty trap, I don't understand anything. I can't help you."

Xiao Yi was speechless on the side.

Xiao Chuang said, "I just want Xiao Yi to become a disciple of Tianyu Peak. I need your help."

Lu Shaoqing immediately calmed down and pushed Xiao Chuang's hand away.

"Phew, you scared me. My heart was pounding."

Xiao Chuang was at a loss, saying helplessly, "You lazy guy, can't you learn from your eldest brother?"

Lu Shaoqing said, "One eldest brother is already a headache for Master. If I add one more, Master will hang himself?"

"I'm doing this for Master's good."

Xiao Chuang was speechless and returned to the main topic, "Help me get Xiao Yi into Master's discipleship."

After hearing this, Lu Shaoqing's expression changed, and he sized up Xiao Yi from head to toe.

After a while, he asked Xiao Yi, "Girl, what relation are you to Uncle Xiao?"

Xiao Yi said, "He's my uncle."

Lu Shaoqing asked, "Blood-related?"

Xiao Chuang was angry, "What do you mean? If not blood-related, what else?"

Lu Shaoqing said to Xiao Chuang, "If you're blood-related, why are you sending her to Tianyu Peak? What are you thinking?"

"Or is her father in debt to you?"

Xiao Chuang raised his hand and shouted angrily, "Do you believe I can slap you to death?"

Xiao Yi was also speechless, looking at her uncle, "Uncle, is he really that scary?"

Xiao Chuang shouted, "Don't believe him. Joining Tianyu Peak is absolutely a good thing for you."

Xiao Yi looked at Lu Shaoqing, her big eyes blinking.

Lu Shaoqing, with a sincere expression, said to Xiao Yi, "Girl, go home and ask your father if he has done anything to offend your uncle."

Xiao Chuang's palm glowed with white light, ready to strike, "If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I'll slap you to death?"

"Quickly, tell me how to get the girl into Tianyu Peak."

Lu Shaoqing said, "To become a disciple, you should find my Master. Why are you asking me?"

Xiao Chuang said, "Isn't it to get past your eldest brother?"

"Quickly, think of a way."

Lu Shaoqing shrugged, "If you can't get past the eldest brother, I can't help either."

Lu Shaoqing looked helpless.

Xiao Chuang held up two fingers, "Two hundred lower-grade spirit stones."

Lu Shaoqing's eyes lit up, then he showed a very difficult expression, "This is my eldest brother. It's hard to get past him."

Xiao Chuang held up another finger, "Three hundred."

Lu Shaoqing directly said, "Five hundred, pay up, and I'll tell you right away."

Xiao Chuang gave Lu Shaoqing one hundred, "Here's a deposit. I'll give you the rest after you tell me the plan."

"Uncle Xiao, can't you be more straightforward?"

Xiao Chuang snorted, "Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? If I don't do this, do you think I'm a fake peak master?"

Lu Shaoqing had no choice and muttered, "Uncle Xiao, you misunderstand me too much."

"Alright, to get past the eldest brother, you just need to do this."
