On a nearby mountain, Jiang Zi Yun was looking at the scene in the distance, especially as General Wei had completed his evolution, with shock in her eyes.

What is... that thing?

The purple mink in her arms let out a somewhat regretful cry.

Jiang Zi Yun seemed able to communicate with the purple mink and sensed the regret in its cry.

It appeared that the treasure the purple mink coveted had been eaten by that creature.

The creature in the distance suddenly vibrated, with clouds and smoke swirling around it, shrouding the valley.

Jiang Zi Yun knew she had been discovered by the creature.

Such keen insight.

Her heart was startled.

But since that creature was in Jiufeng Mountain, it must belong to someone. Since it was like this, the creature probably didn't want her to disturb it but rather wanted her to wait quietly here.

She just wanted to wait a while and apologize to the creature, not intentionally spy.

As for the treasure, she would ask about it and offer compensation if the creature was willing to answer, otherwise she would let it be.

As the most valued branch member of the Jiang Family, she wasn't lacking in resources.

While waiting, Wan Zheng approached from afar.

"Miss Jiang, so you are here. How come there's a cloud like this?"

Thinking of something, a trace of contempt appeared in Wan Zheng's eyes.

"Is there someone residing in this valley?"

Wan Zheng saw Jiang Zi Yun's interest and wouldn't help Xu Guang keep it a secret, so he said.

"Recently, the Elephant Master who gained fame in Chuannan Prefecture, Miss Jiang have you heard of him? He would rather scatter his technique than join our Jiufeng Mountain, and now he lives here with his Great Beast."

His voice carried a sense of pride, as if he was extremely pleased with his identity as a disciple of Jiufeng Mountain.

Jiang Zi Yun remained expressionless, but she held a bit of dislike for this person in her heart.

This arrogance made it seem like Jiufeng Mountain had already established him as the next Sect Leader.

Her relationship with Shen Muyu was very good, and Shen Muyu was modest unlike him. She wondered what this inner sect disciple who just reached Innate at twenty-eight after apprenticing for sixteen years had to be proud of?

The reputation of Jiufeng Mountain? Or the Sword Seal Institute's ineffable disdain for the other eight institutes?

She had lived at Jiufeng Mountain for a long time and was quite familiar with its situation.

But she didn't voice these thoughts.

She was just a bit curious about Xu Guang.

Wan Zheng's words were disparaging, but she admired Xu Guang a bit, scattering his technique isn't a decision made lightly.

Xu Guang had just become famous and provoked a Celestial Destiny Sect demon, yet dared to scatter his technique at such a juncture, decisive, resolute, confident...

Recalling Uncle Jiang Bai's words, her curiosity about Xu Guang grew.

This visit to Jiufeng Mountain, to see Xu Guang's Great Beast, was partly her purpose.

It was something Jiang Bai instructed her to do, and that creature just now was likely Xu Guang's tamed Great Beast, right?

Thinking of this, her expression turned peculiar. Earlier, the purple mink mischievously moved on Wan Zheng and scared him; if he'd seen Xu Guang's Great Beast just now, would he still dare to say those things?

"Brother Wan, I'll go visit this Elephant Master."

"I'll go with you," Wan Zheng instinctively replied.

Jiang Zi Yun turned around, smiling calmly at Wan Zheng.

"I'll go alone."

The purple mink in her arms stared intently at Wan Zheng, showing a hint of ferocity.

It was as if an icy, dead hand slowly climbed up from his tailbone, with a slimy, sticky feeling making his breathing somewhat uncomfortable.

"Alright... alright..."

...

Xu Guang looked at the stunning woman in front of him, unable to resist praising her.

Her looks were nearly on par with his esteemed sister Fuqing, Master Zhenren, and the cold beauty Shen Muyu, but their temperaments were entirely different.

Shen Muyu was purely cold, like a snow lotus in the highest heavens, only to be admired from afar, not closely approached.

Fuqing was regal, with some reserve, also carrying a subtle air of aloofness; the might of a Zhenren was not to be transgressed.

As for the woman before him, she seemed quite delicate, holding an exceptionally cute purple mink. She appeared as the type of woman men couldn't help but want to embrace.

If men were to choose in their hearts, probably half would pick her.

"Jiang Zi Yun from the Jiang Family, pleased to meet Young Master Xu."

Jiang Zi Yun slightly bent down, displaying some remorse on her face.

"I was revisiting old grounds, not intentionally spying on your secrets. Please forgive this, as Zi Yun swears on the Jiang Family to keep this matter confidential."

Upon seeing the now 'ordinary' General Wei, she knew Xu Guang didn't want anyone to see General Wei's true form.

Xu Guang nodded slightly upon hearing this.

What could he do?

He hadn't anticipated the True Blood would elevate General Wei so much and hadn't made preparations beforehand.

Moreover, the woman in front of him revealed her identity, so silencing her wasn't an option, neither fitting Xu Guang's style.

Xu Guang's expression was slightly indifferent as he nodded, "There is no need for that, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Zi Yun pondered a moment, then from the blue-purple deer skin pouch hanging by her waist, she searched for some time and fished out something like a nut.

"This is a snow lotus seed that my little mink enjoys eating; let it be a gesture of apology from Zi Yun."

The purple mink in her arms struggled slightly, seemingly dissatisfied, but she gently tapped its head, and it instantly became obedient.

Clearly, it understood the difference between a full meal and an occasional treat.

Xu Guang exhibited surprise; this young lady, though young, was quite generous.

In his memory, these snow lotus seeds should be a type of spirit plant, right?
