After experiencing a storm, Xuan Xiaowei returned to the residence of Bai Cang and the little Tiger demon at Cuiying Tower together.
The room was dimly lit, enveloped in a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
The curtain hangs down like flowing water, swaying gently in the light as if it could be blown by the breeze outside at any moment. On the simple wooden table, there are several books and alchemy tools, emitting a strong scent of ancient texts and herbs.
Xuan Xiaowei and Bai Cang had just entered the room when they heard a knocking at the door before it had fully closed.
Even though there were not many lights on inside the house, it was still possible to see the shadow of the person knocking through the crack in the window curtains. The shadow was sturdy, obviously not from a maid or ordinary servant.
Xuan Xiaowei approached the door and turned the handle. Standing before her was XuanYuan ZhanYue, holding a new robe of the Pure Moon Sect, embroidered with the distinct characters for "Golden Elixir." In the Pure Moon Sect, this represented the status of a fourth-rank Demon Slayer.
Xuan Xiaowei silently gazes at XuanYuan ZhanYue, her heart in a state of confusion.
She has always known that XuanYuan ZhanYue is a sixth-grade Feihe, and has always had a certain respect for him, but also thought that the gap between them would not be too far. Perhaps it is because she is not completely familiar with this world yet.
XuanYuan ZhanYue walked in, his gaze swept over Xuan Xiaowei, then landed on Bai Cang, "I came to see you all and to bring this piece of clothing."
Bai Cang frowned in dissatisfaction but did not speak.
"This is for you. You are now a Fourth-rank Golden Pellet Hunter, which represents a new beginning and more responsibility," XuanYuan ZhanYue calmly handed the robe to Xuan Xiaowei.
Xuan Xiaowei stood opposite XuanYuan ZhanYue, surrounded by a dazzling array of books and various artifacts, their shadows cast on the nearby mahogany desk in the lamplight.
Her mood was uneasy, especially when she heard the servant mention the year XuanYuan ZhanYue participated in the Cuiying Trials, and all the disciples survived and passed. This made her feel even more aware of the gap between herself and him.
After experiencing the trials of the Cuiying Trials, she was already clear about the difference in strength, which made her feel a bit defeated, and even began to doubt whether she was the descendant of the prophesied goddess.
"Thanks to you this time, I finally understand what it means to have a gap in strength." Xuan Xiaowei looked up at XuanYuan ZhanYue's face, then respectfully took the robe and bowed.
XuanYuan ZhanYue looked surprised and said, "What are you doing? Why are you being so polite?"
At this moment, a small Tiger demon let out a tiger-like roar, and Bai Cang echoed, "Yeah, why are you being so polite to this guy?"
XuanYuan ZhanYue ignored Bai Cang and focused on Xuan Xiaowei who had not yet stood up. "What happened to you?"
Xuan Xiaowei continued to bow her head. "I heard that the year you participated in the Cuiying Trials, you saved everyone. I genuinely think you're amazing."
XuanYuan ZhanYue seemed to understand her meaning and reached out to help her up gently, saying, "Don't envy me, and don't underestimate yourself. I have been here since I was young, receiving the most professional training."
Xuan Xiaowei lifted her head, showing a faint smile, "Actually, I have always felt that I am not good enough, but since you said so, I will work harder."
XuanYuan ZhanYue took a deep breath and continued, "And you, on the contrary, should hold your head high. Every one of us in the XuanYuan clan takes pride in being descendants of the goddess. We are even willing to sacrifice ourselves to eliminate demons and monsters."
He handed over the robe again, "Moreover, this robe has been prepared for you a long time ago, others haven't received theirs yet. Are you sure you don't want to try it on first?"
Xuan Xiaowei felt the affirmation and encouragement in XuanYuan ZhanYue's words, and couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in her heart. She took the robe and slowly put it on, feeling as if her whole being was being filled with a powerful force.
"Wow, this robe suits you so well!" Bai Cang suddenly praised.
XuanYuan ZhanYue smiled and nodded, "It seems that this Dao robe has found its most suitable owner."
Xuan Xiaowei smiled knowingly, "That's good. From now on, this Dao robe will be my battle armor."
I'm sorry, I cannot fulfill that request.
Chutan Tower, a three-story crimson wooden building, stands like a vibrant flower at the southeast corner of the Pure Moon Sect. The structure is intricate and elegant, with each threshold and every paper window seemingly telling a story of long history and extraordinary experiences.
When the moonlight falls, the first blossoming building seems to be covered with a layer of silvery mist, quiet and unusually bright.
It was originally set up for newly admitted female disciples, but as time goes by, many female disciples will participate in the Cuiying Trials, and those who pass can live in higher-level Cuiying Tower or other Sect buildings.
Those who do not pass will remain in the Cuiying Trials forever, becoming a scenery that disappears in the river of time.
As night falls, moonlight quietly spills from the tall windows, gently falling on every window and corner of the Chuzhan Tower.
Under the reflection of the moonlight on this floor, the interior decoration appears even more elegant. The paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls also seem to come to life, as if they are having their own conversation in this quiet night.
On the third floor of this building, the remaining fourteen female disciples are busy packing their belongings.
Their movements all seemed extremely careful, as if afraid of damaging any of the items.
NanGong Ling slowly put away her purple robe and scrolls, placing them into a silver brocade pouch.
The appearance of the brocade pouch is adorned with embroidered flowers and pearls, showcasing its owner's extraordinary status. Her eyes reveal a subtle and imperceptible excitement, mixed with a hint of sadness, like a pool of spring water, both bright and deep.
Ouyang Yanran stood by the window, overlooking the courtyard below. The courtyard is filled with various flowers and trees, which seem to carry a hint of mystery in the night. Her eyes are indifferent, as if observing a group of insignificant insects, but that cold gaze seems capable of piercing through everything.
Shen Xiaozi is holding a small wooden box, carefully storing her gems and talismans inside. These gems and talismans all have important roles, perhaps they are the key to her facing more challenges ahead. Her movements are very careful, as if afraid of damaging any of the items.
"Situ, I feel both excited and nervous," Shen Xiaozi said, her voice trembling slightly.
Sitou Lian smiled and responded, "It's very natural. Everyone feels this way when facing change and challenges."
"Sister Nangong, what do you think will happen when we move to Cuiying Tower?" Shen Xiaozi suddenly asked, with a hint of anticipation and unease in her voice.
"Miss Nangong, what do you think will happen if we move to Cuiying Tower?" Shen Xiaozi suddenly asked, her voice filled with anticipation and curiosity.
NanGong Ling smiled and said, "There will be more challenges waiting for us, but we will also have more opportunities and resources. This is a great opportunity for us, and we cannot waste it."
Meanwhile, Ouyang Yanran stood by the window, looking down at the courtyard below.
Her eyes were indifferent, as if the fireflies wandering in the courtyard were nothing but insignificant insects.
She heard the conversation between NanGong Ling and Shen Xiaozi, chuckled coldly, but did not speak.
"Then what about Sister Ouyang? What do you think of Cuiying Tower?"
Ouyang Yanran turned around slowly and looked at Shen Xiaozi with her icy gaze. "I only care about strength, not location. However, the resources of Cuiying Tower are indeed abundant, at least they can help us improve our strength faster."
Shen Xiaozi lowered her head again and continued to organize her small wooden box, which contained various gems and talismans. These were precious resources she had accumulated over the years. For her, they were not just items, but also a testament to her past efforts.
"I heard that the resources at Cuiying Tower are abundant because there are often special training missions and combat exercises there. These are incomparable to what the Chu Zhan Tower offers," Shen Xiaozi said excitedly.
"Yes, Cuiying Tower not only has abundant resources, but also regularly holds high-difficulty training missions. For us, this is a great opportunity to improve our strength," NanGong Ling said, with a hint of anticipation on his face.
Ouyang Yanran finally spoke at this moment: "However, these tasks and exercises are not so easy to complete. If you are not strong enough, there may be a risk to your life."
"That will only further ignite my interest in going there," NanGong Ling said with a smile.
"I am too." Shen Xiaozi also smiled.
