"Disciple greets Master."

Ji Yuan arrived at Wan You Island and respectfully saluted Hua Yaoyue.

Through this event, he understood just how much Hua Yaoyue cared for him.

He and Liu Yuan were both disciples of Golden Core Zhenren, and they encountered the same situation, both simultaneously reported to their Golden Core masters.

But the result?

Hua Yaoyue personally came over.

Cloud Abyss Zhenren only sent a Foundation Establishment Stage disciple over, of course, it might be that Cloud Abyss Zhenren was too busy and couldn't come.

After all, he was the Great Elder of the Water Dragon Sect.

"Hmm."

Hua Yaoyue looked at Ji Yuan, glancing up and down.

"Not bad."

She casually complimented.

Then she sat up from the soft chair but didn't get up, "I've already learned all the details, it's not a big deal."

"I called the three of you over to remind you, the Demon Dao of Shangxi is already invading."

"Like today's incident, it's not only our Water Dragon Sect, similar occurrences are happening in the territories of the other five sects, so from now on, be careful whether you go out or for other matters."

"If you can't handle it, contact me promptly."

"Yes."

Perhaps because of the seriousness of the matter, Phoenix Peach and the others respectfully saluted Hua Yaoyue.

Yun Qianzai straightened up and immediately asked, "Master, is the Demon Dao already invading on a large scale? Should we go up Shang Mountain to guard?"

"Not yet, at the fastest, it will be in a few years, at the slowest, maybe ten more years. The sect will give notice then."

Hua Yaoyue rarely spoke so much at once, "So in these years, you must quickly improve your strength, because when the Demon Dao really launches a large-scale invasion, Shang Dong will likely be insecure."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yun Qianzai's expression changed slightly.

"Master, judging from the experience of previous Demon Dao invasions, our Water Dragon Sect is located in the middle of Shang Dong, and is the safest among the six immortal sects, isn't it?"

Sword Ruins is the most dangerous one on Shang Mountain.

The next ones are Medicine King Valley and Spirit Control Sect, both located to the north and south respectively, along both banks of Starfall River, forming the second tier.

The third tier includes Corpse Transporting Mountain, Joy Palace, and the Water Dragon Sect.

Corpse Transporting Mountain is in the north, Joy Palace in the south, and Water Dragon Sect right in the middle, making Water Dragon Sect the safest among Shang Dong's six immortal sects.

In previous Demon Dao invasions, even if the Shang Mountain front was breached, it was eventually stopped at the territories of Medicine King Valley and Spirit Control Sect.

The Water Dragon Sect's territory was never reached.

Hua Yaoyue shook her head, her expression serious.

"Reports from Sword Ruins say this Demon Dao invasion is not as scattered as before, it's like someone is coordinating from behind, advancing and retreating methodically. In short, it's better to be cautious."

Ji Yuan felt that Hua Yaoyue seemed to cast an extra glance at him while saying this.

"We obey your orders."

The three saluted again and rose, Hua Yaoyue then laid back down, indicating there was nothing more to explain.

Phoenix Peach immediately said, "It's rare for us to be together, and Little Junior Brother narrowly escaped disaster, why don't we celebrate?"

Speaking of celebration, it merely meant Ji Yuan cooking, accompanied by the small wine he brought.

"Great idea."

Yun Qianzai nodded with a smile.

Hua Yaoyue thought for a moment, seemingly nostalgic for Ji Yuan's cooking, then nodded slightly, "As you wish."

No, if you say it's up to us, Master, don't nod... Ji Yuan laughed, "Then I'll do my best, Senior Brother and Senior Sister, don't leave, come help out!"

"Magic must not be used; you must do it by hand, only then it has soul."

"Me? My cooking has soul."

"..."

After a while.

The four of them were lying against the pavilion, having eaten their fill, Phoenix Peach looked left at the master, right at her senior brothers, suddenly laughing:

"If only we could always be like this."

"Indeed, indeed, if Little Junior Brother cooked for us every day, it would be even better."

Yun Qianzai nodded.

Ji Yuan: Second Brother, damn you...

"Don't forget, you still have a Senior Brother."

Hua Yaoyue couldn't help but remind them.

"Oh right."

"Senior Brother is such a glutton haha, Little Junior Brother, you'll know how much he can eat when he's around, you'll have to cook more."

Listening to their chatter, Ji Yuan couldn't help but curiously ask, "Is Senior Brother still over at Shang Mountain, hasn't he returned yet?"

"He's a madman; I've urged him several times, he should be on his way back now... I think."

Hua Yaoyue glanced westward, somewhat helplessly said.

Ji Yuan continued to inquire about the sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators, such as which Foundation Establishment Island Masters had taken Golden Core Zhenren as their master.

Among them, he specifically inquired about Great Elder Cloud Abyss Zhenren and Third Elder Master Xuanxiao's disciples.

Thus, he learned the true name of the female cultivator carrying the door-like giant sword he encountered today.

Rou Yi.

Second disciple of Great Elder Cloud Abyss Zhenren, a battle fanatic with cultivation at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, reportedly already peeking into the threshold of Core Formation.

After chatting leisurely, the three bid farewell again.

But after leaving some distance away, Ji Yuan detoured back to Wan You Island alone.

Though Ji Yuan and the others had just left, Hua Yaoyue was already up, not lying down anymore, and she started tending to the flowers and plants outside the pavilion.

So... was the master's laziness just an act?
