Half an hour ago.
“So… you’re our First Senior Sister?”
“This is a bit unexpected…”
Ye Qingluan, Huang Doudou, and Chi Ming were gathered in the luxurious tree house at the top of the tree, looking at Zi Kui before them, each with a different expression.
Before Yu Yi set off for the River of Forgetfulness, she hadn’t told them that Zi Kui was there. They all thought Yu Yi had gone to root out the culprit who had instigated the beast rampage and then framed Among the Colorful Clouds.
But unexpectedly, Yu Yi had brought back their First Senior Sister.
The mysterious First Senior Sister, who had disappeared for many years and whom they had never met, suddenly returned to Among the Colorful Clouds. None of the junior sisters had any mental preparation.
More importantly, the image of this “mysterious First Senior Sister” was far from what they had imagined.
Although they had never seen Zi Kui before, they had all sorts of guesses about this “mysterious First Senior Sister.”
In their view, the First Senior Sister should be the type of ethereal and graceful or cool older sister.
However, the Zi Kui before them overturned their imaginations.
Huang Doudou and Ye Qingluan raised their hands and stood beside Zi Kui to compare heights, only to find that the two of them were about the same height, while Zi Kui was even shorter than them. Even if she stood on tiptoe, she might not be as tall as Ye Qingluan and Huang Doudou.
Looking at their chests, even Huang Doudou, the youngest in the sect, had started to develop, but Zi Kui’s flat chest was even smaller than Huang Doudou’s.
Zi Kui could be described as the loli among lolis.
Such a petite loli was actually the First Disciple of Among the Colorful Clouds?
Even the group of junior sisters were shocked. If this news spread to the outside world, wouldn’t it be even more unbelievable?
“Um… First Senior Sister, if I may ask,” Chi Ming asked cautiously. “How old are you this year?”
“5 years old,” Zi Kui replied.
“F-5 years old?! How is that possible?!”
“Of course it’s not possible.” Zi Kui tilted her head. “Little Chi Ming, I was teasing you.”
“This…” Chi Ming scratched her head, realizing she had been tricked.
However, compared to Su Cheng, Chi Ming didn’t dislike being teased by Zi Kui.
Chi Ming looked at Zi Kui before her. Although it was their first formal meeting, she felt a sense of warmth from her.
It was as if Zi Kui, though not physically with them, had always been by their side, watching over everyone in Among the Colorful Clouds with concern.
“I don’t know my own age either. My matters aren’t important.” Zi Kui continued, “But I know everything about you all, and I’ve seen it all.”
“Seen it all?”
“Mmm, I have many ‘eyes.’”
Whether it was Ye Qingluan wandering outside, Chi Ming being deceived by the Orthodox Faction and joining the army against Yu Yi, or Huang Doudou constantly running around gathering information—Zi Kui knew all of it.
Upon hearing that Zi Kui had been watching them all along, the three couldn’t help but be moved.
“No wonder First Senior Sister is so kind to us—you’ve been watching us all along.” Chi Ming scratched her head sheepishly and said, “I’m sorry for looking at you with suspicion just now.”
Ye Qingluan and Huang Doudou also apologized to Zi Kui.
Perhaps Zi Kui’s appearance was indeed far from what they had imagined.
But as the First Senior Sister, her care and concern for her junior sisters were genuinely felt by the three.
“Although this is our first time meeting you, First Senior Sister, you already know us well. It seems we’ll be able to rely on your care from now on,” Ye Qingluan said.
“Yes, yes. Normally, besides Master, the one we rely on most is Second Senior Sister. Now that First Senior Sister has returned, Second Senior Sister should be able to take it easier, right?” Chi Ming chimed in.
Just as the two were expressing their thoughts, Zi Kui suddenly changed the subject and said, “No, I’m not very familiar with you all yet.”
“Huh?”
“I can’t see what happens inside Among the Colorful Clouds.” Zi Kui’s usually flat voice suddenly rose in volume as she asked the three, “Have you all done dual cultivation with Master?”
The entire place fell into silence.
Ye Qingluan and Huang Doudou both had subtle expressions, while Chi Ming scratched her head in confusion and asked, “What is dual cultivation?”
“Dual cultivation is… mmmph.”
Just as Zi Kui was about to explain, Huang Doudou suddenly covered her mouth and dragged her aside, whispering, “First Senior Sister, Little Junior Sister is still innocent. She doesn’t know anything about this…”
“Why don’t you teach her?” Zi Kui countered.
“Well… that’s not something we can decide. Master has to decide,” Huang Doudou said with a wry smile.
Zi Kui fell into thought upon hearing this.
She hadn’t expected that from the time she left until now, only Blue Ling’er was preparing to dual cultivate with Yu Yi. Not only were the other junior sisters making no moves, but Chi Ming didn’t even have any knowledge about this?
‘No, this won’t do.’
‘If the junior sisters can’t become strong soon, Master will be too tired.’
Zi Kui didn’t want Yu Yi to be too tired.
And relying only on her and Blue Ling’er to share Yu Yi’s burden was far from enough.
Then, as if she had decided something, Zi Kui spoke up, “I’ll teach them in Master’s place.”
“Ah? Hey! First Senior Sister, wait—”
Huang Doudou was about to reach out to stop Zi Kui, but Zi Kui slipped past her like a phantom.
As the “Speed Specialist” of Among the Colorful Clouds, Huang Doudou was very fast in everything except slacking off.
However, even though she had just touched Zi Kui, her hand seemed to pass right through her body!
‘S-so fast!?’ Huang Doudou was secretly shocked.
“Little Chi Ming, do you want to know what dual cultivation is?” Zi Kui looked up at Chi Ming and asked.
“Is it… something very scary?” Chi Ming swallowed and asked.
“No, it’s a very good thing,” Zi Kui replied. “Little Chi Ming, give me your hand.”
“O-okay…” Chi Ming extended her hand trembling.
The moment she took Zi Kui’s small hand, a dark purple aura rose, and the scene before Chi Ming’s eyes instantly changed!
“First Senior Sister, this is…”
“What you’re seeing now is from the perspective of my two attendants.”
“Two attendants… what’s that? Huh? Wait, isn’t that Master and Second Senior Sister? What are they…”
“No, no! First Senior Sister, just explain it to Little Junior Sister verbally. You can’t show her this directly!” Ye Qingluan and Huang Doudou sensed trouble and rushed to stop her.
The tree house erupted into chaos.
Clear Spring Pool.
The dual cultivation ended.
Blue Ling’er’s mind went blank as she felt an endless stream of pure power slowly flowing into her body.
Yu Yi undid Blue Ling’er’s restraints, set her down, and supported her limp body, saying helplessly, “Ling’er, Master has made you suffer.”
Blue Ling’er blushed and panted, forcing a smile. “It’s… it’s fine, Master. Your disciple… is very happy. Next time… I will properly repay… Master…”
After saying that, she collapsed limply against Yu Yi and passed out.
“‘Properly repay’ next time… I have a feeling it won’t be an ordinary ‘repayment.’”
Yu Yi’s body couldn’t help but tremble.
If Blue Ling’er followed suit and returned all the methods Yu Yi had just used against her, would Yu Yi be able to withstand it?
In any case, these matters could be dealt with later.
Now, there was a surprise before Yu Yi.
She clearly sensed that Blue Ling’er’s cultivation had already broken through to the Grandmaster realm!
