The morning sunlight sprinkled from the clouds, illuminating the mountains of the Orchid Sect. Yun Xiyue walked lightly on the forest path, her mood as bright as the morning light. Her purpose for this trip was to collect a rare herb called the Night Dew Flower. This herb grows in the deep mountains and only shows itself when the morning dew has not yet evaporated, making the timing of the collection extremely strict. 0
 
As Yun Xiyue's steps crossed through patches of bamboo forest, her thoughts involuntarily returned to her conversation with Mo Zetian. Although their relationship seemed to have eased, the doubts and uncertainties in her heart still lingered. She shook her head, determined to cast aside these distractions and focus on the task at hand. 0
 
 
As the morning light gradually spread, Yun Xiyue moved lightly, her movements agile and flexible, like a spiritual monkey in the mountains. Her gaze was tightly locked on those few night-blooming cereus flowers, filled with anticipation. The night-blooming cereus flowers emitted a faint glow, dreamlike, making people unable to resist getting closer. 0
 
Just as Yun Xiyue reached out to pick the night-blooming cereus flowers, sudden footsteps shattered the tranquility of the valley. She immediately withdrew her hand, swiftly hiding behind a nearby boulder. A hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes as she focused intently on the approaching figure. 0
 
 
Soon, the figures of Cheng Poyan and Bai Yuji appeared in her line of sight. Cheng Poyan was tall and sturdy, with a determined stride that exuded a sense of calm and depth. His gaze was focused, seemingly maintaining a cool observation of everything around him. 0
 
In stark contrast, Bai Yuji possessed a handsome face and deep, mysterious eyes. His steps were light and elegant, as if dancing with the wind, blending seamlessly with the surrounding scenery. 0
 
 
Yun Xiyue Looking at these two people, I couldn't help but feel puzzled. She knew that these two were both well-known figures in the cultivation world, but why would they appear here? Cheng Poyan and Bai Yuji obviously also came for the Night Dew Flower, and she could feel their importance attached to this rare item. 0
 
Cheng Poyan spoke first, his voice deep and powerful: "This Night Dew Flower is indeed extraordinary. It's truly rare to see it here." 0
 
 
Bai Yuji smiled slightly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "Indeed, such a treasure is not easily found. However, it seems we are not the only visitors here." 0
 
Yun Xiyue heard this and felt a sudden tightness in his heart, realizing that he might have been discovered. 0
 
 
Yun Xiyue was hesitating whether to show up, suddenly, Cheng Poyan turned around, staring directly in her direction. His voice was low and steady: " Yun Xiyue, there's no need to hide. We have no intention of competing, just here to collect night dew flowers." 0
 
Bai Yuji also turned around, smiling as she added: "We've come from afar just to catch a glimpse. If we can collect together, it would be best." 0
 
 
Yun Xiyue slowly walked out from behind the giant rock, her eyes alert as she scrutinized them. Her tone was straightforward: "Cheng Poyan, Bai Yuji, could it be that your sudden appearance is for another purpose?" 0
 
There was a hint of seriousness in Cheng Poyan's eyes as he replied, "Yun Xiyue, our purpose for this journey is indeed for the night dew flower. Of course, if we were to encounter the leader of the Orchid Sect, it would be a pleasant surprise." 0
 
 
Bai Yuji smiled softly and said, "We have no intention of causing trouble, we just hope to coexist peacefully. After all, there are enough night dew flowers in this valley for us to share." 0
 
Yun Xiyue looked at them, and their vigilance relaxed slightly, but they still maintained a hint of caution. She nodded and said, "In that case, we will each take what we need." 0
 
 
In the wide and deep valley, three people spread out, each searching for the sparkling night dew flowers in the morning light. Yun Xiyue moved with great agility, her figure weaving through the flowers as if each step landed precisely near her target. Her skilled hands quickly gathered the required quantity, her eyes shining with a sense of accomplishment. 0
 
Cheng Poyan, on the other hand, appeared more composed, his Thunder Staff in hand, emitting a faint electric light from time to time. Whenever he approached the night dew flowers, he carefully used the power of the Thunder Staff, ensuring not to cause harm to the surrounding plants. Every step he took seemed calm and collected, as if he had found inner peace in this natural setting. 0
 
 
Bai Yuji appears even more graceful, holding the Chimei fan in his hand and gently waving it, as if blending with the surrounding scenery. His movements are elegant, seemingly enjoying the process of gathering. Whenever he finds a night dew flower, a hint of satisfaction appears on his face. 0
 
As the three of them were busy gathering, suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the valley. A huge monster suddenly appeared in their sight. This monster had a strong body and sharp claws, with fierce light flashing in its eyes. 0
 
 
Yun Xiyue Immediately draw out the sword in hand, ready to fight. Her eyes shimmer with a determined light, showing her determination to not fear strong enemies. 0
 
Cheng Poyan also quickly prepares for battle, gripping the Thunder Staff, ready to launch an attack at any time. His expression is calm, his eyes deep, showing his powerful strength as a senior cultivator of the Thunder Palace. 0
 
 
Bai Yuji lightly smiled and waved his demon fan, preparing to use his illusions to confuse the monster. His movements were light and elegant, but his eyes sparkled with shrewdness, showing his agility and intelligence in battle. 0
 
The three quickly formed a battle formation, facing this sudden powerful enemy. In the ensuing battle, they would each play to their strengths, working together to resist this formidable monster. 0
 
 
The battle ceased, and as the night dew flowers were all gathered, Yun Xiyue was about to leave when Cheng Poyan suddenly spoke up: " Yun Xiyue, your relationship with Mo Zetian seems rather unusual. His attitude towards you is quite intriguing." 0
 
Yun Xiyue felt a pang in her heart, as she hadn't expected Cheng Poyan to bring this up. She replied calmly: "Cheng Poyan, this is none of your concern." 0
 
 
Bai Yuji smiled slightly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone: " Yun Xiyue, your character truly lives up to the rumors, straightforward and strong. It's indeed his good fortune to have captured your attention with Mo Zetian." 0
 
Yun Xiyue didn't want to say much, simply saying lightly: "Thank you for the praise. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave." With that, she turned and left, leaving Cheng Poyan and Bai Yuji standing in place. 0
 
 
Watching Yun Xiyue's figure disappear into the distance, a hint of contemplation flashed in Cheng Poyan's eyes, while Bai Yuji carried a barely perceptible concern. 0
 
When Yun Xiyue returned to Orchid Sect, the sky had already been covered by the night, and the remaining evening glow seemed to add a mysterious color to this ancient sect. She carefully handed over those precious night dew flowers to the sect's alchemist master, as these flowers were extremely important to the sect. 0
 
 
After completing everything, she came alone to a peaceful lakeside within the sect. The moonlight reflected on the lake, casting a faint silver glow, as calm as a mirror. Sitting on the shore, gazing at the tranquil surface, her heart was in turmoil. 0
 
The night breeze gently brushed her long hair, her eyes deep, seemingly searching for answers on the lake's surface. Meeting Cheng Poyan and Bai Yuji in the valley today undoubtedly made her state of mind even more complex. Not only was she confused by her feelings for Mo Zetian, but also by the various conflicts and tests in the cultivation world, which made her feel immense pressure. 0
 
 
She understood in her heart that the feelings between her and Mo Zetian had already surpassed the realm of ordinary companionship, but she was still full of doubts about the depth and future of this relationship. Despite Yun Xiyue's straightforward and strong personality, she also felt lost and uncertain in the emotional world. 0
 
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions. 0
 
 
The night grew darker, and Yun Xiyue sat quietly by the lake until the moon climbed into the sky, then she made a move. 0
 
At this moment, a figure appeared silently by the lake, it was Mo Zetian. His steps were gentle, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the night. Yun Xiyue felt his arrival, turned around, and looked at him with a hint of complexity in her eyes. 0
 
 
Mo Zetian walked to the side of Yun Xiyue, sat down, and spoke calmly but with concern: "You seem to have something on your mind." 0
 
Yun Xiyue looked towards the distant lake and said, "Today, on my way to gather herbs, I met Cheng Poyan and Bai Yuji. Their appearance has made me more confused about our relationship." 0
 
 
Mo Zetian fell silent for a moment, then said, "I know they have ill intentions towards you, but I believe in you. Our relationship should not be changed by outsiders." 0
 
Yun Xiyue took a deep breath and said firmly, " Mo Zetian, I will not waver because of them. But our relationship does indeed need more understanding." 0
 
 
Mo Zetian Looking at her, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: " Yun Xiyue, I will strive to achieve it. Our path may have obstacles, but as long as we believe in each other, everything will be alright." 0
 
The two sat in silence, with only the gentle night breeze brushing past, creating ripples on the surface of the lake. In this moment, it seemed like their hearts had drawn a little closer. 0
 
 
After a long time, Yun Xiyue got up, with a hint of determination in her tone: "I need some time to sort out my thoughts. I believe that in the end, we will find our own answers." 0
 
Mo Zetian nodded, looking at her with determination: "I will be here waiting for you, no matter how long you need." 0
 
 
Yun Xiyue smiled slightly, expressing her anticipation for the future and her trust in Mo Zetian. She turned and walked into the night, leaving Mo Zetian alone by the lake. His eyes were deep and determined, as if he had already prepared for a long wait. 0
 
Beneath the night sky, the shadow of the Orchid Sect stood quietly like a guardian. Though Yun Xiyue still felt unsettled, she believed that through her efforts, her relationship with Mo Zetian would eventually enter a new stage. And on this path of cultivation, she would also find her true position and future. 0
