In the morning, Xiao Mo sat in the courtyard reading books.

Yu Yunwei sat beside Xiao Mo, her snow-white teeth biting the pen shaft as she worked on a test paper.

Looking at these questions, the girl's brow furrowed tightly.

Xiao Mo had been teaching Yu Yunwei to read for a full four months.

From initial refusal, to later resistance, and finally forced acceptance, Yu Yunwei had gradually grown accustomed to this lifestyle but what always made Yu Yunwei feel annoyed was that every month, Xiao Mo would give her a test.

If she failed, he wouldn't strike her palm, but he would increase her daily lessons.

In Yu Yunwei's view, rather than making her read more, he might as well just hit her!

"Caw caw caw"

Just as Yu Yunwei was racking her brains to answer questions, the sound of a crow came from the sky.

"Yu Yunwei, Yu Yunwei."

The crow flew to the peak of Karma Blood Peak, called out twice, dropped a letter, then turned and flew away.

Xiao Mo caught the letter and handed it to Yu Yunwei.

Yu Yunwei opened it and read.

As she read, a flash of joy appeared in the girl's eyes.

"What is it?" Xiao Mo asked.

"I haven't been on a mission for half a year. The Affairs Hall wants me to go tomorrow at the chen hour, along with several fellow disciples, to Black Cloud Mountain to hunt magical beasts and collect a certain number and grade of demon cores before returning," Yu Yunwei said happily.

After speaking, Yu Yunwei looked at Xiao Mo seriously, "I must go on this mission, it's a Ten Thousand Dao Sect rule!"

Looking at her happy expression, Xiao Mo didn't need to think to know she was happy because going on a mission meant she wouldn't have to attend classes, feeling temporarily liberated.

"I understand," Xiao Mo nodded, "You can go tomorrow, but first finish this test paper today. When you return, daily lessons will increase by half an hour."

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Yu Yunwei's happy smile instantly froze.

"Any problem?" Xiao Mo asked.

"No! Problem!"

Yu Yunwei huffily bit her writing brush and continued answering questions.

…

"Master, Senior Brother, Yunwei is going."

Early the next morning, Yu Yunwei bid farewell to Xue Kui and Xiao Mo.

"Go ahead," Xue Kui nodded.

"Remember, don't harm fellow disciples without reason," Xiao Mo instructed.

"I! Know! Already!"

Yu Yunwei rolled her eyes at Xiao Mo, thinking "Haven't you killed plenty of fellow disciples yourself?"

After giving a perfunctory response, Yu Yunwei flew away quickly like escaping from a cage.

"Yunwei seems quite afraid of you," Xue Kui said to Xiao Mo.

"I suppose," Xiao Mo wiped his Spirit Absorbing Sword several times before returning it to its sheath and standing up, "Probably beaten into fear."

"Where are you going?" Xue Kui tilted her head and asked.

"To protect her path," Xiao Mo walked down the mountain, "Just as you did for me."

As Xiao Mo's figure disappeared from her sight, Xue Kui touched her chin and muttered to herself, "Is this disciple I took on too worry-free?"

When Yu Yunwei arrived outside the sect, four cultivators were already waiting.

"Senior brothers and sisters, I apologize for being late."

Yu Yunwei quickly stepped forward and bowed to them, appearing extremely well-behaved.

"Junior sister is too polite, we just arrived ourselves," smiled a man who appeared to be in his early twenties, "Now that everyone's here, let's set out."

"Yes, senior brother."

Yu Yunwei smiled sweetly, appearing harmless on the surface with a gentle tone.

Actually, Yu Yunwei noticed his gaze toward her carried some jealousy.

These wastes were so useless, only reaching Foundation Building in their twenties but she was only eleven and already at mid-Foundation Building.

How could these trash feel balanced?

She had seen plenty of such people.

They appeared amiable and considerate on the surface but when something happened, they would be the first to betray fellow disciples.

Not as sincere as that damn senior brother Xiao Mo.

"Speaking of which..." Yu Yunwei thought carefully.

Although that dog senior brother Xiao Mo always hit her hands and threatened to draw his blade when she was disobedient, he was indeed consistent inside and out, with no pretense.

"Damn it! I finally don't have to see his annoying face, why am I still thinking about him?" Yu Yunwei shook her head, pushing her dog senior brother out of her mind.

On the way to Black Cloud Mountain, Yu Yunwei learned about their situation.

The highest cultivation was Li Nan, a Falling Leaves Peak disciple at late Foundation Building.

The other two men were Yan Liu and Qin Hai, both at mid-Foundation Building.

There was also a woman named Qu Xiaotao, a female cultivator from Ten Thousand Flowers Peak. She was quite beautiful with a good figure, especially dressed very provocatively, occasionally revealing glimpses of snow-white skin, often drawing sideways glances from the three men.

Ten Thousand Flowers Peak disciples only engaged in dual cultivation for the first time after reaching Foundation Building.

This Qu Xiaotao hadn't dual cultivated yet and was still choosing a man.

So all three men wanted to become Qu Xiaotao's first intimate partner.

How could Qu Xiaotao not know their thoughts? She was also using this advantage.

"Tch, these people are quite an eyesore. How about we just kill them all?"

Yu Yunwei thought to herself but soon, Yu Yunwei recalled Xiao Mo's words "don't harm fellow disciples without reason," making her frown.

"How troublesome!" Yu Yunwei bit her finger.

"Junior sister Yu, what's wrong?" Qu Xiaotao moved closer to Yu Yunwei and smiled.

"Nothing, sister Qu," Yu Yunwei shook her head, "I was just thinking about my senior brother."

Hearing her actively mention her senior brother, Qu Xiaotao's eyes suddenly brightened, "Junior sister Yu's senior brother is that little brother Xiao Mo, right?"

"Eh? Sister Qu has heard of my senior brother?" Yu Yunwei blinked.

"How could I not have heard?" Qu Xiaotao smiled charmingly.

"When little brother Xiao Mo was practicing his blade techniques before, that blade qi often fell on our Ten Thousand Flowers Peak. Several times when people were bathing, they were startled. And we invited little brother Xiao Mo to come play, but he never came, so shy and cute."

Yu Yunwei was speechless.

"But who would have thought that in such a short time, little brother Xiao Mo at Cave Mansion realm could kill a Golden Core cultivator with one blade. This is truly unheard of. I even heard that many cultivators planned to join forces to kill your senior brother, but in the end, your senior brother went door to door and killed them all. Later, no one dared to provoke your senior brother."

As she spoke, Qu Xiaotao licked her lips.

"It's a pity your senior brother is still young. In a few more years, I'll definitely pay your senior brother a good visit."

"This shameless woman!"

Yu Yunwei frowned.

Although my dog senior brother is as annoying as a dog, although I wish I could kick him off a cliff, he's not something trash like you can covet.

Don't let me find a reason to kill you, otherwise you'll be the first one I kill at Black Cloud Mountain.
