Chapter 9: Kou Xuan Returns, Differences between Men and Women

Qingming Sect.

A magnificent attic with a plaque on it with the word "Xuan Ji" written in graceful calligraphy.

Xuanji Pavilion, the place where Qingming Sect disciples receive their missions, is located at Shijian Peak, one of the thirty-six peaks. Unlike other peaks, it does not have a peak master, but only a pavilion master and several deacons and elders, who are in charge of this place.

On weekdays, the deacons and elders rarely show up, and disciples from each peak handle various affairs on a part-time basis.

At this time, it was daytime and the pavilion was crowded with disciples dressed in various costumes coming in and out.

In a flash.

A green light fell from the sky.

This attracted the attention of the disciples around him.

I saw a cold and aloof woman floating down from the sword. She was extremely beautiful, serious and looked as if she was keeping people away from her.

The moment they saw the woman, almost all the disciples were stunned. Even the part-time disciples who were working hard in the pavilion couldn't help but raise their heads just to take a look at the icy beauty.

"Brother, this sister is so beautiful!"

"Which peak is she from? Does she have any suitors? I really want to meet her!"

"Nonsense, how could the chief disciple of Ziyun Peak, Yuan Kexuan, who has a flawless swordsmanship, be lacking in suitors? Who wouldn't want to meet her?!"

"So has anyone managed to pick her up, ahem, and have a little kiss with her?"

"A kiss? Haha, did you see the sword in her hand? The year before last, it chopped off the arm of the head of Wenxin Peak. Last year, if the granddaughter of the Grand Elder had not been given precious medicine in time, she would have been raised as a daughter. This year is even more cruel. A direct disciple of the sect master was crippled by a single sword!"

"Is this... so scary?"

"If you don't believe me, just go ahead and try it. See how many lives you have left for Senior Sister Yuan to kill!"

"Me? Forget it. I haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage yet. I think a sword from Senior Sister Yuan would kill me."

"It would be great if everyone was as self-aware as Junior Brother. Senior Sister Yuan is devoted to the way of the sword and cannot tolerate a trace of love. Unfortunately, many people don't understand, or rather, they pretend not to understand, thinking that they are gifted and charming, and that they can make Senior Sister Yuan fall into their arms with just a wave of their hand, but in fact they are just jumping clowns..."

"Well, Brother, when you get beaten later, don't tell them you know me. I'm afraid you'll splatter my blood..."

Sensing some unfriendly looks, the younger brother frowned, protected his senior brother in front of him, and quietly disappeared into the crowd.

…

Hearing the discussions nearby, Yuan Kexuan frowned slightly, and his eyes swept across, with a sharp sword intent bursting out. The disciples who were originally laughing and noisy, after feeling the cold and sharp sword intent, immediately shut their mouths and dared not speak nonsense anymore.

Yuan Kexuan sheathed his sword, stepped into the Xuanji Pavilion, found an elders' quiet room, and pushed the door open.

"Elder Zhou, the dragon and python in Yingchoujian have been eliminated. This is a token of my loyalty!"

Yuan Kexuan went straight to the point and placed the demon pill on the table.

"Xiao Yuan, I remember that you accepted this mission three days ago. I didn't expect you to come back so soon. It seems that this trip went very smoothly!"

An old man who looked quite wealthy and amiable took the demon pill and looked at it. He nodded with a smile and said, "It is undoubtedly a Jiaomang demon pill. Xiao Yuan, you are worthy of being the chief disciple of Ziyun Peak. In my opinion, in a few years, you will be able to stand on your own and open a new peak in my Qingming Sect!"

"Elder Zhou, you are joking. Ke Xuan only wishes to stay by Master's side for the rest of his life, and never leave him."

Yuan Kexuan's face was determined.

"Master Xu Feng is so lucky to have such a filial disciple like you!" Old Zhou was very envious.

"No, it is my blessing to be accepted as a disciple by Master."

Yuan Kouxuan spoke very seriously.

“…”

Mr. Zhou felt that he couldn't continue the conversation, so he raised his hand and a storage ring appeared in his palm.

"Xiao Yuan, the mission rewards are all in here, check it out!"

Yuan Kexuan took the ring and scanned it with her spiritual sense. When she saw the sword that her master wore, she smiled and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I haven't seen my master since I came back this time, so I won't bother you any more!"

"Go ahead." Mr. Zhou waved his hand.

Yuan Kouxuan quickly stood up, bowed slightly to Mr. Zhou, and then hurriedly walked out the door. His steps were so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Yuan Kexuan rushing to see his master, Old Zhou was about to feel sour. If you compare goods with others, they will be thrown away; if you compare people with others, they will die. How come the disciples he accepted were either mediocre or evil compared to Yuan Kexuan? They could have lived for five or six hundred years, but because of these bastard disciples, their lives would be shortened by two hundred years!

"I'm in a bad mood, so I'll pick a disciple and beat him up first!"

Old Zhou was filled with anger, and with a sudden thought, he turned around and disappeared into the quiet room.

…

Purple Cloud Peak.

The peak hall.

A graceful figure riding a sword came from the sky and quickly landed in front of the palace.

"Master, I'm back!"

Yuan Kouxuan's longing for his master was about to overflow from his chest. He jumped off the sword, not even bothering to sheath it. He clutched the ring in his hand and trotted into the hall. His clothes fluttered and felt heavy.

If the disciples from other peaks saw this scene, they would surely be shocked!

After all, Yuan Kexuan gave people the image of an icy fairy who was not interested in worldly affairs, but now, she seemed to be a delicate woman who was suffering from lovesickness and was in love for the first time, and couldn't wait to see her lover...

"Master... Master?"

Yuan Kexuan entered the hall with great anticipation.

But there was no sign of the master.

"Is it in the back hall?"

Yuan Kexuan's eyes flickered.

The back hall is where Xu Yang lives and it is quite private. Yuan Kexuan has strictly observed the etiquette between master and disciple over the years and has never set foot in it once.

But at this moment——

Yuan Kexuan looked at the closed door in front of him, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and seemed to have made up his mind: "I just want to find Master, not to deliberately pry into Master's privacy!"

She reached out her hand and pushed the door gently, and it opened.

Yuan Kexuan walked in, lowered his head and said obediently: "Disciple Kexuan comes to pay his respects to Master..."

Before he could finish his words, Yuan Kexuan raised his head and looked around in a daze. Not to mention his master, there was not even a single person in sight.

"Where is the Master?"

Yuan Kexuan looked around the room with confusion, sniffing from time to time, as if by doing so he could find some clues.

The room was simple, smelled good, and had no unnecessary decorations. It looked like it was perfect for her to live in...

Suddenly, her eyes froze and her gaze fell on the robes on the bed, which seemed to be the ones that her master had just changed not long ago.

"I am the disciple, and it is my duty to help Master wash his robes!"

Yuan Kexuan didn't even hesitate. He walked to the edge of the bed and took the clothes in his hands.

But the moment he picked it up, Yuan Kexuan felt a little curious.

What is the difference between men's and women's underwear?

As a woman, she naturally knows what she looks like.

There is a strap on it that can be tied around the neck. If it can hang, you don't have to tie it, but she didn't.

There are also two straps at the waist, which must be tied, otherwise they will fall off.

The bottom is an inverted triangle...
