"So, is it okay?"
Ye Yao smiled, like an innocent child.
However, Ye Yun frowned.
"You want to become my disciple? The problem is, I don't even know your identity yet."
"Do you think anyone would take an apprentice of unknown origin?"
Back on the Profound Sky Continent, there was no need to be so cautious, but the situation was entirely different in this Heavenly Domain.
Who knew what kind of danger this person might bring him in the future?
Hearing this, Ye Yao seemed to find it reasonable. After a moment of thought, she nodded.
"Alright then, I can tell you my identity..."
"Hmm?"
Ye Yun looked at her curiously.
"Tell me, what exactly is your identity in the Abyss?"
This was something he had been a little curious about before, but judging by her demeanor, she didn't seem like someone who would reveal it.
Ye Yao took a deep breath, her expression also turning serious.
"Then, allow me to reintroduce myself. I am a princess of the Abyss clan, with royal blood, Ye Yao."
"..."
Looking at Ye Yao, whose face now held a hint of regal pride, Ye Yun pondered for a moment before nodding.
"Oh, is that so..."
"Mm."
"Mm..."
Ye Yao hadn't expected Ye Yun to react with such nonchalance after learning the truth. She couldn't help but speak up.
"What do you mean by 'oh'! Aren't you shocked? Aren't you surprised at all?"
"Uh, what is there to be shocked about?"
"What do you think? I'm a princess of the Abyss clan."
"So?"
"..."
Ye Yao genuinely felt that she was being underestimated.
In fact, for Ye Yun, Xing Wu, whose identity was likely even more noble, was already in that kind of relationship with him.
Let alone a mere princess of the Abyss clan.
Ultimately, Ye Yao simply gave up. She took a deep breath and said,
"In any case, I've told you my identity now. Can you take me as your disciple?"
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask,
"Since you're a princess of the Abyss, taking you as a disciple won't bring me any danger or trouble, right?"
This was what he cared about most. He didn't want to end up with a pile of trouble after taking in an apprentice, as had happened before.
"Probably not..."
Ye Yao thought for a moment and said, "As long as no one in the Heavenly Domain knows my identity, there shouldn't be any issues."
"As for my clan, if they knew you took me as a disciple, they would surely be very grateful to you, and there wouldn't be any trouble."
Ye Yun nodded and finally asked,
"But we are supposed to be enemies. Aren't you worried?"
Hearing this, Ye Yao smiled and said,
"Didn't you say before that you had that kind of relationship with Lord Xing Wu? Then would you be enemies with Lord Xing Wu?"
"Uh..."
Her words actually left Ye Yun speechless.
Indeed, he had already decided to stand by Xing Wu's side, so it was naturally impossible for him to be her enemy anymore.
After much deliberation, Ye Yun finally nodded.
"Alright, then I will reluctantly take you in."
Seeing his agreement, Ye Yao's lips curved into a smile.
"Then it's settled!"
However, it seemed that their side didn't have the customary ceremony for taking on a master.
But this suited Ye Yun perfectly, as he still couldn't accept the cumbersome rituals of master and disciple.
After their relationship was settled, Ye Yun, as usual, introduced her to Lin Xueyan and the others.
"Greetings, senior sisters!"
Ye Yao greeted the assembled senior sisters with a smile.
However, she was met with a host of suspicious gazes.
Seeing this, Ye Yao's lips curved upwards and she said,
"Welcome, senior sisters! I won't fight you for our master!"
As soon as she said this, the women were all delighted.
"Oh oh oh, then welcome, junior sister! Join our big family!"
Chen Lingyi smiled cutely, relieved now that she knew this person wouldn't compete with her for their master.
Lin Xueyan and the others also got to know her one by one, except for Fang Zhiwei, who still looked at her with extreme vigilance.
The senior sisters might not have sensed it, but she could see it clearly.
"This girl... will be so close to master in the future... and even..."
She didn't know what she had seen, but her expression gradually turned gloomy, and she muttered to herself.
"Master is really something, finding us another competitor. We're already being six-divided..."
However, Fang Zhiwei was not afraid. As a senior sister, how could she fear not being able to compete with a mere junior sister!
In fact, she felt a little indignant.
What did she mean by not fighting for their master? Isn't it only natural for a disciple to like their master!
"Absolutely not. As a disciple, one must like their master!"
Instantly, she began searching her mind for any biographical novels that might fit Ye Yao's personality.
As for her outward appearance, she simply gave Ye Yao a friendly smile.
"Then, welcome, junior sister!"
Seeing this, Ye Yao also breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, she had come with the intention of forging a relationship with Ye Yun and Xing Wu.
How could she, how could she compete with these little girls to become the master's immortal partner?
At least, she firmly believed so for now.
Meanwhile, Ye Yun was unaware that a colossal love triangle was gradually forming and solidifying.
"Alright, you all chat. Your master has something to do and needs to go see Senior Feng."
Upon hearing this name, Lin Xueyan and the other women immediately became alert.
Lin Xueyan, in particular, said directly,
"Master, are you going to see that woman again?"
Bai Xiaoxiao also pursed her lips and said glumly,
"Master, be careful..."
"..."
Ye Yun was speechless.
"What are you thinking? Your master has important business with her."
Fang Zhiwei stuck out her tongue.
"Then you need to be even more careful..."
"..."
For a moment, the air on Qingyun Peak became a little silent.
After a long while, Ye Yun flicked her forehead.
"Look at what's in that little head of yours. Have you been corrupted by your senior sisters?"
"How could I be? I'm very pure, you know!"
Fang Zhiwei looked at him with a serious expression, but it only made Ye Yun shake his head helplessly.
Alas, hopeless. It seemed even Fang Zhiwei was being poisoned.
"Alright, your master is leaving now."
Ye Yun sighed and left.
He didn't know that as soon as he left, something interesting would happen on Qingyun Peak.
Fang Zhiwei, with a smiling expression, walked directly towards her, appearing completely harmless.
Ye Yao immediately became vigilant and stared at her intently.
"Senior sister... what do you want?"
"Don't worry, senior sister won't bully you..."
Fang Zhiwei's lips curved upwards, her smile becoming more alluring.
"It's just that I want to show you something good, very stimulating!"
"Senior sister... maybe not..."
Ye Yao had a feeling that what she was referring to would be nothing good.
But once on board a pirate ship, how could one escape?
Fang Zhiwei quickly took out several books and thrust them into Ye Yao's embrace, looking at her with great friendliness.
"Junior sister, you must read all of them, from beginning to end."
