One thousand years later, in the Western Region, at the Ten Thousand Dao Sect.

Ever since Yu Yunwei had used the formation to find her senior brother's reincarnation, she had already dispatched disciples from the Wind Listening Pavilion to the Central Plains.

Once there was news, the Wind Listening Pavilion disciples would contact her using magical treasures.

At that time, she would immediately set out for the Zhou Kingdom in the Central Plains but after the Wind Listening Pavilion disciples had left, Yu Yunwei thought it over again and again, and still felt somewhat uneasy.

This wasn't to say that the Wind Listening Pavilion disciples weren't loyal enough.

Rather, the Wind Listening Pavilion was originally the Ten Thousand Dao Sect's intelligence-gathering and assassination organization. With only killing on their minds, their methods might not be tactful enough.

Moreover, they didn't know just how important the person they were bringing back this time truly was.

The only order they had received was to bring the person back without any mistakes.

What if they offended her senior brother?

Most importantly, among the elite Wind Listening Pavilion disciples going to the Zhou Kingdom this time, the leading elder with the highest cultivation was only at the Jade Simplicity realm.

Although Jade Simplicity realm cultivators were already capable of founding their own sects, Yu Yunwei always felt it wasn't enough.

Therefore, Yu Yunwei planned to ask someone she didn't particularly like, but who was the most suitable person to bring her senior brother back.

"Greetings to the Sect Master."

"We pay our respects to the Sect Master."

"Wishing the Sect Master well."

When Yu Yunwei entered Ten Thousand Flowers Peak, the female cultivators all bowed to her in courtesy.

Yu Yunwei didn't respond, only walking up the mountain.

Along the way, some of the female disciples of Ten Thousand Flowers Peak were bathing in clear springs.

Some wore thin, flimsy clothes as they ran back and forth along the stone paths, playfully teasing each other.

Some were toasting and drinking in courtyards, their clothes scattered everywhere, wine sliding down their skin.

Most of the Ten Thousand Flowers Peak disciples wore extremely revealing clothing, exposing large expanses of snow-white skin.

Everywhere Yu Yunwei went, she heard the chirping voices of these women.

However, compared to the Ten Thousand Flowers Peak of a thousand years ago, the current Ten Thousand Flowers Peak had extremely strict rules. No man was permitted to be brought onto the mountain peak.

So unfortunately, not a single man could witness this scene.

"The Sect Master honors us with her presence. Ten Thousand Flowers Peak has failed to welcome you properly. We beg the Sect Master's forgiveness."

Yu Yunwei hadn't been walking for even the time it takes to burn a stick of incense when a woman, upon learning of the Sect Master's arrival, hurried to her and bowed respectfully.

She walked barefoot, her delicate ankles exposed, wearing a cool short skirt. She had an outstanding appearance, her skin as white as mutton fat jade. Her phoenix eyes carried a somewhat alluring charm, and every gesture and movement had a flavor that could captivate hearts.

The woman's name was Wang Wanyue. She was the only disciple the current Ten Thousand Flowers Peak Master had taken.

"Wanyue, where is your Peak Master?" Yu Yunwei asked.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, my master is resting at the mountain summit."

"Take me to see her."

"Yes."

Wang Wanyue quickly led the way.

Before long, they arrived at a courtyard at the mountain summit.

In the courtyard, a woman wearing a white dress was resting in a rocking chair.

A book lay lightly covering her face.

Below the book, a section of her fair, slender swan-like neck and delicately lined collarbone were faintly visible.

Below the collarbone, her ample, snow-white bosom pushed the collar of her dress high, forming a soft, beautiful curve.

Looking further down, past this graceful rise and fall, was a flat, smooth abdomen. Further down still were round, perky hips and a pair of fair, well-proportioned, slender legs.

Just as Wanyue was about to wake her master, Yu Yunwei made a gesture to stop her.

"You may go," Yu Yunwei said.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Wang Wanyue nodded and withdrew.

Yu Yunwei entered the courtyard and sat at the stone table beside the rocking chair, pouring herself a cup of tea.

On the table were stacks upon stacks of Ten Thousand Dao Sect administrative documents.

Yu Yunwei casually opened a few to look. Each document had been handled with great attention to detail.

"Stop sleeping."

Half the time it takes to burn a stick of incense later, Yu Yunwei picked up a rolled document and tossed it toward the woman's flat, smooth abdomen beneath the thin gauze.

"Mm..."

The woman let out a seductive, soft moan. She removed the book covering her face and looked lazily at Yu Yunwei, "Sect Master, really, you even torment me when I'm just taking a nap."

As she spoke, the woman rubbed her abdomen.

Yu Yunwei directly ignored her seductive air, "Sili, there's a matter that requires you to make a trip to the Zhou Kingdom in the Central Plains."

"Zhou Kingdom?" Sili yawned, "What for?"

"Senior Brother, he might be there," Yu Yunwei said truthfully.

The instant Yu Yunwei's words fell, a trace of bewilderment flashed through Sili's eyes, but she quickly calmed down, her tone lazy, "Come on, Sect Master, you've been searching for a thousand years. When have you ever actually found him?

I'd be better off staying in the sect, helping you handle some affairs. That would be more practical."

"This time, there won't be any more mistakes," Yu Yunwei took out a jade token from her sleeve and placed it on the table, "After you arrive in the Central Plains, you can use this jade token to command the Wind Listening Pavilion to act on your behalf."

"Is this an order?" Looking at the jade token, Sili asked.

"Even if it's not an order, you'll still go," Yu Yunwei glanced at Sili indifferently, "Don't think I don't know who you've been preserving your chastity for all these thousand years."

Yu Yunwei stood up to leave, her voice echoing across the peak summit, "For the sake of a man, you've remained at the Immortal realm all this time, even willing to give up the Ascension Dao just to wait for him. That the Ten Thousand Flowers Peak Master could be so infatuated is truly laughable."

"Really, not at all the attitude of someone asking for a favor," Sili muttered softly as she lay in the rocking chair after Yu Yunwei left the courtyard.

She picked up a pendant and held it up before her eyes against the sunlight. The mottled green reflection shimmered in the woman's dark eyes, as if rippling with that person's image from a thousand years ago.

"Laughable?"

Sili smiled slightly, reaching out a finger to gently flick the pendant.

"It really is somewhat laughable. That man never even looked at you properly once."

After leaving Ten Thousand Flowers Peak, Yu Yunwei didn't immediately return to the Ten Thousand Dao Sect's main peak. Instead, she bought a jar of Sanglu wine in Ten Thousand Dao Town and headed to Karma Blood Peak.

Karma Blood Peak had now become a forbidden area of the Ten Thousand Dao Sect.

Apart from Yu Yunwei, no one else was permitted to come to this place.

Whenever Yu Yunwei became too exhausted from handling daily affairs, she would come back to sit here and stay for a few days.

It seemed that only by returning to this mountain peak could her heart truly settle down.

Compared to the Karma Blood Peak of a thousand years ago, the difference was that now, a tombstone stood at the peak's summit.

Walking before the tombstone, Yu Yunwei looked at the large characters carved on it with a long blade.

These characters had been carved by her senior brother.

Yu Yunwei still remembered that when her senior brother had carved this tombstone, she had cried uncontrollably beside him.

Kneeling before the tombstone, Yu Yunwei unsealed the wine jar. The wine's fragrance quietly drifted away with the mountain breeze.

"Master, Yunwei has come to see you."
