"Excellent..."
Wan Yunting was very satisfied that the four of them passed the assessment.
Yang Jingyi and Wuweizi were also relieved, knowing that these disciples were the future of the monastery.
It was a pity that Tang Doudou and the other disciples did not finish within eighteen minutes, and thus could not become Wan Yunting's disciples.
"No matter, if you all practice diligently in the future, and perform well, I can personally guide you in martial arts," Wan Yunting encouraged Tang Doudou and the other disciples.
"Yes, Abbot..."
The disciples shouted in unison. Wan Yunting looked at Lin Dachun, Wang Zhuyu, and the others, panting, and nodded with satisfaction, smiling, "You all go back and rest. This afternoon, I will personally teach you martial arts at the small plaza behind the mountain."
"Yes, Abbot..."
Yang Jingyi watched the happy figures of Wang Zhuyu and Lin Dachun leave and smiled, "The foundation of those few disciples is good. If taught well, they can achieve great things in the future."
Wuweizi also nodded, and said to Wan Yunting with a smile, "Their family backgrounds are also clear, all good young people."
Wan Yunting nodded and said, "New disciples must have their backgrounds clarified, so as to prevent those with ulterior motives from infiltrating."
Yang Jingyi and Wuweizi nodded. Just as they were about to say something, they saw Chen Qiuyun coming out with a suitcase and a bag. She covered half of her face with a silk scarf, revealing only a pair of phoenix eyes.
Even so, Li Zihang and Qi Wu, along with other young disciples, caught a glimpse of her phoenix eyes. The invisible charm made their hearts tremble, and they felt an inexplicable urge.
Even Yang Jingyi couldn't help but frown. Through the calm phoenix eyes of Chen Qiuyun, an invisible charm emanated, giving her a strange feeling of jealousy.
Even Wuweizi was stunned by the invisible charm in Chen Qiuyun's phoenix eyes, causing his body, half buried in the soil, to tremble involuntarily. He couldn't help but exclaim, "This woman's gaze is somewhat peculiar!"
Yang Jingyi seemed to think of something, her eyes instantly widened in surprise, and she said, "It's Charm Arts!"
"Charm Arts?"
Wuweizi's old face was shocked. Looking again at Chen Qiuyun's charming phoenix eyes, he exclaimed, "Indeed, it's Charm Arts. I never expected it, but haven't Charm Arts been lost for a long time?"
Wan Yunting, who was standing nearby, smiled at them and said, "Shimu, Uncle Wuwei, I'll take her down the mountain first. We'll talk later."
Yang Jingyi and Wuweizi turned to look at him, confused, "She's not staying at our monastery?"
Wan Yunting shook his head slightly and smiled, "Sister Qiuyun prefers quiet. She feels she would be a burden to our monastery and plans to go down the mountain."
Yang Jingyi nodded. Since Chen Qiuyun arrived at Wuliang Monastery, she had indeed made many male disciples lose their minds, simply because she was so stunningly beautiful and captivating.
Now that Chen Qiuyun had also practiced Charm Arts, if she were to remain at Wuliang Monastery, it would only make the young disciples more frenzied...
"Sister Qiuyun, let us escort you down the mountain."
Wan Yunting nodded to Yang Jingyi and Wuweizi, then stepped forward to take the suitcase from Chen Qiuyun's hand.
She nodded. Gu Luotang, Qi Miaomiao, Lu Xiaodie, and Zheng Rong also came to see her off. Wan Yunting asked Li Zihang to fetch the car keys, and then took them down the mountain.
After descending the mountain, Wan Yunting drove Chen Qiuyun, Gu Luotang, and the other five women towards the east, arriving at a nearby village called Kunshan Village. Behind the village was the Kunlun Mountain range.
Kunshan Village only had a dozen households. In the past, the villagers made a living by hunting. Now that the animals had become protected species, the villagers could not survive. Many had gone out to seek a livelihood, so only the elderly and lonely were left in Kunshan Village.
Behind Kunshan Village, in the Kunlun Mountain range, there were some small huts left by the former prey. One of them was a small wooden house built in the mountains. Even returning to Kunshan Village from the mountain required walking five kilometers of mountain road...
Wan Yunting drove on the mountain road and soon found this small hut. Looking at the simple wooden house, it had two rooms, one bedroom and one kitchen, with a small courtyard. Although it was overgrown with weeds, if cleared, vegetables could be planted.
"It's so simple, Sister Qiuyun, are you really planning to live here?"
Qi Miaomiao looked at the dilapidated wooden house, unable to imagine that this place could be lived in.
But Chen Qiuyun found it quite good, and nodded, saying, "Once tidied up, it will be habitable."
Wan Yunting took her suitcase down and said, "This wooden house was built by a villager from Kunshan Village in the past for hunting in the mountains. It has been abandoned since then. I have already bought this wooden house from that villager. Sister Qiuyun, please live here with peace of mind."
Chen Qiuyun removed the scarf covering her face and turned to nod and smile slightly at Wan Yunting, "Thank you."
Lu Xiaodie and Zheng Rong said, "Let's help Sister Qiuyun tidy up."
"Okay..."
Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao had no objections. Wan Yunting also nodded. While the women tidied up the house, clearing out the useless items left by the hunters and cleaning,
Wan Yunting was outside weeding and repairing the low wooden walls of the courtyard. He also climbed onto the roof to tap and patch the leaks.
Everyone worked for several hours, and finally, the long-abandoned wooden house and courtyard began to take shape. Gu Luotang, Lu Xiaodie, Zheng Rong, and Qi Miaomiao were all dirty. After Wan Yunting finished repairing the water wheel of the well in the courtyard, completely solving the water supply problem, he smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Qiuyun, it's getting late, we should be going back."
Chen Qiuyun nodded, and with a smile, thanked Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang and the others, "You've worked hard."
Lu Xiaodie smiled and said, "If you have time in the future, Zheng Shijie and I will come to visit you."
Chen Qiuyun nodded. Wan Yunting signaled Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao to get in the car, and finally turned to look at her, smiling, "If you need anything, call Li Zihang. He will help you solve it."
Chen Qiuyun looked directly at him with her phoenix eyes, smiled and nodded slightly, saying nothing more.
Wan Yunting also smiled at her, got in the car, started it, turned around, and left. Chen Qiuyun stood at the entrance of the small courtyard and watched the car disappear from sight before turning to go inside...
In the car, Gu Luotang smiled and said, "I'm quite envious of Sister Qiuyun, for daring to face the life she wants directly!"
"Indeed."
Lu Xiaodie and Zheng Rong nodded in agreement, saying, "She's not escaping reality, she's just tired of it."
Qi Miaomiao shook her head, "But I still can't imagine how boring and lonely it would be to live alone in these mountains."
Lu Xiaodie turned to look at her and smiled, "That's because you haven't experienced enough. Once you experience more, you won't think that way."
Gu Luotang and Zheng Rong smiled and nodded. Wan Yunting, who was driving, smiled and said nothing. Regarding Chen Qiuyun, he couldn't control her, nor could he ask her to stay by his side, because she had her own thoughts. Even though he had a subtle relationship with her, Wan Yunting didn't intend to possess her.
If she wanted to live alone, then Wan Yunting would buy her a secluded small wooden house. If she wanted solitude, then he wouldn't bother her anymore. In short, this woman had seen through the secular world and only wanted to live a quiet and leisurely life alone, undisturbed...
It was already night when they returned to Wuliang Monastery. He was supposed to personally teach Lin Dachun and the others martial arts in the afternoon, but he was delayed by Chen Qiuyun's matters. So, now at night, Wan Yunting gathered the four of them at the small plaza behind the mountain and personally guided them in practicing the Five Elements Palm and Wuliang Swordplay...
The next day, Wan Yunting also woke up early. Lu Xiaodie, Zheng Rong, and Gu Luotang also went to the back mountain. Lin Dachun, Zhao Xuewu, Wang Zhuyu, and Huang Shaoqing had already arrived, and they all shouted in unison at Wan Yunting, "Master, good morning..."
Lu Xiaodie and Gu Luotang were surprised. They turned to look at the man, "Brother Yunting, you've really taken them as disciples?"
"No, if they like calling me that, so be it."
Wan Yunting waved his hand with a smile, then said to Lin Dachun, Zhao Xuewu, Huang Shaoqing, and Wang Zhuyu, "Today, I'll teach you meditation and qi cultivation. Find a spot and sit cross-legged..."
All day long, Wan Yunting practiced with the four of them. Tang Doudou and those young disciples also watched and attended many classes. It wasn't until the afternoon that Wan Yunting said, "The four of you pack your things tonight. Be here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to go to Mount Hua to participate in the Martial Arts Convention."
"Great..."
Lin Dachun, Zhao Xuewu, Wang Zhuyu, and Huang Shaoqing were excited. They didn't expect Wan Yunting to bring them to the Martial Arts Convention as well.
"Abbot, can you take me?"
Tang Doudou ran over, looking at Wan Yunting with expectant eyes. At this moment, Wang Zhuyu reacted and said, "Master, Doudou and I are together, so take her along. She can take care of people."
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, "Alright, then we'll take one more of you. Go back and pack your things."
"Thank you, Master..."
An excited Tang Doudou directly called him Master. Wan Yunting smiled, turned around, and also went back.
When he returned to his residence, he saw Lu Xiaodie and Zheng Rong already packing their things. Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao were seeing them off. They met Wan Yunting who was returning, "We were just about to leave." wΑp.kanshu伍.net
"Has the car arrived?"
Wan Yunting asked, knowing that Lu Xiaodie and Zheng Rong were going down the mountain today and would then go to Mount Hua on their own to participate in the Martial Arts Convention.
"It has."
Lu Xiaodie and Zheng Rong nodded and smiled, "Alright, no need to see us off. We'll meet at Mount Hua then."
Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang and the others nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll have Li Zihang send you to the county town. Send me a message after you board the train."
"Mhm, don't worry."
Lu Xiaodie gave the man a charming glance with her seductive eyes before turning to wave goodbye to Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao, smiling, "I'm leaving, Miaomiao, Sister Luotang..."
"Sister Lu, Sister Zheng, take care, be safe..."
Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao stood on either side of Wan Yunting at the courtyard entrance, waving goodbye to Lu Xiaodie and Zheng Rong as they left...
"Let's go in. We'll see each other again in a couple of days."
Wan Yunting turned around, placed his hands on Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao's fragrant shoulders respectively, and entered the courtyard together...
