“Speaking of which, I just heard Master say that He Fellow Daoist, who arrived at our Daoist temple today, should be going with us.”
Just then, Fang Yu, who was beside him, changed the subject and spoke softly.
The content they had just discussed was too depressing, and he didn't really want to hear it.
The others nearby turned their heads in surprise upon hearing this.
“How is that possible? That Fellow Daoist’s Dao cultivation should not be high, so why would he be allowed to go to Qiuyun Valley?”
At this moment, the Senior Brother thought he had misheard and quickly asked again.
He felt there was a high probability that he had misheard.
As a Mortal Realm Cultivator, his Dao cultivation must be ordinary.
Sending him to Qiuyun Valley, wouldn't that be harming him?
He felt that his Master would never do such a thing.
However, the Junior Brother beside him quickly spoke up upon hearing this.
“There’s no mistake. I Cultivate a Spell, and I heard what Master said earlier.”
“Master’s intention is that it’s fine to let him go to Qiuyun Valley to test him out. If he’s suitable, he will be given a Spell and Divine Ability upon his return.”
“At that time, he can just wait outside Qiuyun Valley, and his life won’t be in danger.”
“Also, judging by his demeanor, he seems quite confident in his Dao cultivation and Spells, so Master agreed just now.”
Upon hearing this, the other Senior Brothers looked at him with disbelief.
“You, using a Spell to eavesdrop on Master’s conversation?”
At this moment, even the Senior Brother beside him looked surprised, probably not expecting him to do such a thing.
“Your actions are somewhat disrespectful to your elders!”
The Senior Brother frowned and said.
Upon hearing this, the Junior Brother's expression tightened, and he quickly waved his hand.
“I was just curious about He Fellow Daoist’s background, so I just listened a bit. I didn’t hear too much anyway.”
“This, it should be fine!”
As he said this, he couldn't help but swallow, his face filled with nervousness.
However, as he spoke, he quickly lowered his head, a complex and conflicted expression on his face.
He didn't know if he should tell his Senior Brothers about what he had heard.
Master seemed to be leaving them soon.
Thinking of this, his face was filled with complexity and sadness.
However, his expression was not seen by anyone else, so no one noticed his unusual look.
“Remember, this is only once. Don’t let there be a next time.”
If Master found out about such an action, there would definitely be punishment.
So, such a thing must not happen again.
The Junior Brother quickly nodded, indicating that he understood.
“Then tell us, what did you hear?”
Since he had already heard it, it was better to ask what needed to be asked.
The Junior Brother then recounted in detail what he had heard.
After listening, everyone exchanged glances, probably understanding Master’s intention.
“Now, the Disciples of our Biluo Temple are few. If there are other Cultivators who can bear this great banner, that would also be a good thing.”
“Moreover, if this Fellow Daoist’s Dao cultivation is good and he achieves success in Cultivation, it wouldn’t be bad to form a good relationship. What do you think?”
The Senior Brother thought for a moment and felt that Master might have other intentions.
If He Fellow Daoist truly had good Comprehension Ability and achieved success in Cultivation in the future, this good deed today might help them later on.
However, even so, it was still necessary to test his Heart-Nature.
After all, he was not a Disciple of their School, so some tests were still necessary.
The others thought about it and felt that this was true.
“But after all, he is a Mortal Realm Cultivator. He might have learned some Spells but doesn’t know his own limits. We should keep an eye on him tomorrow.”
“Don’t let this Fellow Daoist get hurt.”
Another Senior Brother thought for a moment and then cautioned.
It was only to test him; no matter what, he couldn't be allowed to lose his life, otherwise, that would be bad.
The others immediately nodded in agreement.
After arriving at Qiuyun Valley tomorrow, they would keep an eye on him and make sure he didn't actually make a move.
Thinking of this, everyone exchanged glances and nodded.
“Then it’s settled.”
Everyone nodded at this moment, settling the matter.
.........
The next day.
He Xiuyuan was meditating and Cultivating in the arranged room. When he heard movement outside, he opened his eyes.
Then, a knock sounded from outside the room.
“He Fellow Daoist, have you woken up?”
The Senior Brother of Biluo Temple who came to knock on the door was dressed in a tight-fitting suit today, looking a bit more majestic.
He Xiuyuan opened the door and looked at the Fellow Daoist in front of him, “Is it time to depart?”
He knew that they were going to Qiuyun Valley today.
“Yes, it’s time to depart today. If He Fellow Daoist has nothing else to do, we can set off together.”
“Okay.”
He Xiuyuan was very straightforward and nodded immediately.
Ming Xiu saw this and immediately led He Xiuyuan out of the door.
A moment later, He Xiuyuan arrived at the training ground from before.
Qingxiao was already waiting.
Seeing He Xiuyuan arrive, he flicked the whisk in his hand, signaling He Xiuyuan to come closer.
Then, a Disciple quickly took out a prepared food box and handed it to He Xiuyuan.
“Time is tight today, so Fellow Daoist can eat on the way.”
The food in the box was still steaming hot. Not only He Xiuyuan, but Ming Xiu and the others also had these food boxes.
“Senior Brother, remember to bring the food box back. Don’t leave it outside.”
The Junior Sister came forward, looked at the Senior Brothers present with some reluctance, and then said through gritted teeth.
Ming Xiu and the others understood the meaning in her words and immediately smiled, then nodded, “Don’t worry, we’ll bring the things back.”
After Qingxiao saw all the Disciples finish speaking, he flicked his whisk, and a auspicious cloud immediately rose under everyone’s feet, then flew towards the distance.
He Xiuyuan was now stepping on the auspicious cloud, feeling a sense of weightlessness as he saw himself flying towards the sky.
Seeing this, He Xiuyuan couldn't help but be full of curiosity.
This was his first time flying like this, and it felt quite novel.
The auspicious cloud under his feet felt a bit soft when stepped on, and it was very elastic.
When everyone arrived above the clouds, the scenery above the clouds was even more spectacular.
The white clouds, like small mountains in the sky, were within reach as they flew through them, and the scenery was surprisingly good.
“Perhaps, I should ask this Fellow Daoist later and see if I can get this Cloud-Riding Spell?”
He Xiuyuan looked at the clouds around him and pondered.
