"Senior Sister! No! Absolutely not right now!

I still have to guard the essence according to the requirements of Master..."

Ye Qingyun, looking at the stunning beauty up close, called out.

"Don't worry about that doddering old man, we continue..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the beautiful woman's actions became even more forceful.

Just when he was on the brink, Ye Qingyun shivered and abruptly opened his eyes!

In front of him, the sky was clear and blue with clumps of white clouds.

Ye Qingyun let out a sigh of relief.

"So it was just a dream...

That's right, my Senior Sister has already descended the mountain a few days ago."

Ye Qingyun had a wistful look on his face, it was unclear whether he was reminiscing about the dream he just had or missing his Senior Sister.

Suddenly, a robed elder with a spirited look appeared in Ye Qingyun's line of sight.

Ye Qingyun sprung up like a carp, respecting and said,

"Master!"

The elder stood on top of the mountain, hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

He was surrounded by a swirling mist, like the embodiment of an exiled immortal!

"My disciple! You have fully grasped my abilities!

The time has arrived for you to leave the mountain and face life again!”

Descend the mountain?

This sentiment made Ye Qingyun's face turn pale.

Five years ago, he was set up by his girlfriend, drained of his blood, and thrown down a cliff!

He thought he was left for dead, but he was miraculously saved by the old man.

For the past five years, Ye Qingyun has been practicing martial arts and various other disciplines on Mt. Wuqing with the old man.

Medicine, martial arts, formation techniques, talismans...

Ye Qingyun has mastered them all!

His talents in all these fields have greatly impressed the old man!

"This is the Treasure Pouch you desired, take it!"

The old man, as he spoke, tossed a palm-sized bag with intricate patterns to Ye Qingyun.

Ye Qingyun received the bag and opened it, pulling out a seven-foot, snow-white longsword, his eyes filled with surprise.

"White Rainbow?!"

Next, Ye Qingyun took out a wooden box.

Inside, were eight needles!

Four were silver and four were gold.

"Life-Death Eight Needles?!"

"A Token of the War God?!"

"......"

One by one, Ye Qingyun saw the treasures his master had stashed away.

He understood in his heart, his master was serious this time!

He could not simply leave this mountain today!

"My apprentice, among the eight apprentices I've taken under my wing, you have the highest talent.

In all respects, your abilities make even me jealous."

The elder sighed sentimentally.

"It's all thanks to Master's excellent mentorship."

Ye Qingyun sincerely replied.

The elder displayed a warm smile, gently stroking his beard.

"Apprentice, when you go down the mountain, if you run into your seven older martial sisters, remember to help each other and avoid inner strife.

Our sect is dwindling, the continuation of our lineage now depends on the eight of you."

Ye Qingyun raised an eyebrow, surprised.

"Seven older martial sisters?!"

He had only met one of them on the mountain!

The old man nodded.

"Yes, my apprentice, to put it bluntly, you are the only adult male of our sect.

Also, if you deem it appropriate, please take in all your martial sisters as your wives."

Ye Qingyun looked utterly shocked.

What were these outrageous words?!

"Ah?! Master! You must be joking, right?"

The old man's face was full of seriousness.

"I mean every word.

The disciple who left a few days ago was my seventh disciple, thus your seventh martial sister.

Each and every one of your six other martial sisters is a devastating beauty like your seventh martial sister!"

"Don't let domestic resources flow into others' hands. Show a little spirit, young man, and claim them all."

Upon hearing these words, Ye Qingyun visualizes in his mind the stunning beauty of his seventh senior sister.

Marrying the seventh senior sister would certainly be wonderful.

But having all seven senior sisters? That's too much!

My body surely won't be able to bear it!

The old man paused for a moment before continuing.

"My apprentice, after you descend the mountain, remember to go to the Lin family in Jiangning City.

I have arranged a marriage for you, and the marriage contract is in the hundred-treasure bag.

Miss Lin of that family is of Profound Yin body. If you acquire her Profound Yin,

It will surely help you to get through the great disaster in the coming year!

If you find you cannot get along with her,

Do me a favor and protect Miss Lin for a year."

Upon hearing the words, Ye Qingyun's face becomes slightly stern.

He is of the Pure Yang body, something unaccepted by the natural laws.

Using his profound knowledge of fortune-telling, the old man has predicted that Ye Qingyun will face a great disaster in the following year!

Cross it, and you'll soar high!

Fail to cross, and you'll end up obliterated!

Before the catastrophe descends, Ye Qingyun will hold on firmly!

Ye Qingyun took a deep breath, and said,

"Master, I remember.

Moreover, Master, I have only met with my Seventh Senior Sister.

As for the other Senior Sisters, we don't know each other.

Even if we encounter each other, we would not recognize one another.

Won't we then miss each other?"

"Don't worry. Your master has already considered this. When you meet your senior sister,

the treasure bag in your hand will become burning hot."

The old man explained.

Ye Qingyun nodded.

"Master, I understand!"

Then, he knelt on his knees, and knocked his head on the ground thrice heavily towards the old man.

"Master! Thank you for your guidance and care over the past five years! Your disciple is leaving!"

After saying this, Ye Qingyun resolutely headed down the mountain.

The old man watched the young man's retreating figure, with a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

"When the hidden dragon comes out of the mountain, it is sure to stir up a storm!"

...

In Jiangning city, at the bus station.

Ye Qingyun looked at this familiar yet strange place, letting out a breath.

"I'm back!"

Just as he was about to leave the station,

a soft body threw itself on to Ye Qingyun, and a weak voice came to his ears.

"Honey, please, save me!"

Ye Qingyun took a closer look.

He saw a woman with short hair and a delicate face holding onto his arm.

The woman's face was filled with a look of pitifulness.

This scene would strongly arouse a man's protective instinct.

Following behind the woman were several burly men!

Their faces held hostile intent, their voices icy.

"You little wench can really run! Why aren't you running now?!"

"Damnit! Wait till I get my hands on you, gonna bust your legs!"

“......”

The burly men surrounded Ye Qingyun while speaking.

"Gentlemen, I was wrong! Please be merciful and spare me!"

Lin Yingxia apologized sincerely.

"Don't tell us, go tell it to our boss!"

One of the burly men with a ferocious looking scar on his face spoke out.

He began to limber up, sending forth bone-cracking sounds.

Lin Yingxia's face turned pale!

In her heart, she thought, it's over, I'm in big trouble!

All she could now hope for was that the youth next to her would step in!

"Gentlemen, I don’t know this woman. Do as you wish."

A calm voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yingxia was taken aback!

She lifted her gaze to Ye Qingyun and feigned vulnerability.

"Handsome! Are you not going to help me?!"

"We just met for the first time, why should I help you?"

With these words, Ye Qingyun directly brushed off Lin Yingxia's hand from his body.

He then briskly walked away.

It wasn't that Ye Qingyun lacked a spirit of helpfulness.

Rather, this woman had shamelessly crashed into his arms,

Forcing him to act as her shield.

This made Ye Qingyun feel used.

I can help, but you cannot force me to help!

Additionally, the group of formidable-looking men in front of him wore fierce expressions.

Upon seeing them, many bystanders showed a look of fear and swiftly departed.

Ye Qingyun had just returned and was about to meet his mother and sister soon.

He didn't want to have disputes with such people, for it would upset his mother.

"You're quite sensible, kid! Go away!"

The scar-faced man looked at Ye Qingyun with disdain.

Such a waste!

A beautiful woman offered herself to you, and you didn't even have the courage to take the initiative!

Ye Qingyun's face remained calm as he strode away.

Lin Yingxia watched Ye Qingyun decisively leave, stomping her feet and calling him a coward!

However, when she saw the strong men holding iron rods gradually approaching her.

Chills ran down her spine!

Lin Yingxia's face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice.

"Gentlemen... Big brothers, I really didn't mean to..."

"Shut up, woman! If you have something to say, go talk to our boss!"

The scar-faced man yelled and reached out to grab Lin Yingxia.

...

According to his memory, Ye Qingyun arrived at a bungalow on the outskirts.

As Ye Qingyun traveled down this familiar path, he noticed his surroundings had drastically changed,

yet the house standing in front of him remained as it was in his recollections,

although now decidedly more weather-beaten.

Upon reaching the door of his house, he found it firmly shut.

Reaching out, he knocked on the door; a female voice resounded from within.

“I already told you, you'll get your money tomorrow! Why are you here? Go away!”

Hearing this voice, so familiar to him, a surge of joy filled Ye Qingyun's heart.

It was his sister, Ye Qianwen's voice!

Immediately, he voiced.

“Qianwen! It's me! your brother, Ye Qingyun! I'm back!”

As his words echoed, a moment's silence fell over the scene.

Quickly following, the door swung open.

A tall and attractive woman appeared in Ye Qingyun's line of sight.
