The yandere senior sister pretended to be stupid to trick me, it made me feel numb!

Chapter 272 No? How come you got it right now?

As Yan Qingyue spoke, everyone on the ladder became envious of Zhao Mu.

It was not just because he could talk to this fairy-like person, but also because the words "Master has been waiting for you for a long time" showed that Zhao Mu had just passed the assessment and was already valued by the top leaders of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, who wanted to accept him as a disciple.

After entering the gate, they will most likely have to stay in the outer gate first. Only when the time is right will they have the opportunity to enter the inner gate, and then they will have a very slim chance to become a disciple of an elder.

The treatment of both parties is completely different.

What?

You said Zhao Mu is a relative?

Stop joking. If he really has connections and wants to enter Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, does he need to take the test to ascend the ladder to heaven?

Even people like Wu Zixu and Xia Ningzhi are not qualified to be relatives, so how can he, a Transcendent Realm cultivator, have such a special background?

Some people are envious, while others are naturally gnashing their teeth.

Deng Ying and Deng Yue, brother and sister, almost bit their back teeth to pieces when they heard this.

The fact that Zhao Mu successfully passed the assessment and joined Hunyuan Taiqing Palace has already added great difficulties to their revenge. Now the former is also favored by a high-level official of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace. Once the former is accepted as a disciple, their chances of revenge will be even slimmer.

"Damn, this lucky bastard!"

Deng Ying cursed inwardly, and her vicious gaze subconsciously shifted from Zhao Mu to Yan Hongling, Wu Zixu and other people close to Zhao Mu.

"Hey, congratulations! You're going to be very successful! Don't forget us when you get there!"

Yan Hongling didn't bother to pay attention to Deng Ying's gaze. At the moment, she was making faces at Zhao Mu and jokingly saying that, of course, she was really happy for him.

"Haha~"

Zhao Mu smiled perfunctorily. God knew what would happen next. It was hard to say whether he would become successful or be extremely unlucky. After all, Old Man Qi didn't even dare to show up. He guessed that the old man had probably offended or let down his old lover in Hunyuan Taiqing Palace.

I hope Yan Qingyue’s master is a normal person and won’t take his anger out on a junior like him because of that bastard Old Man Qi.

However, if the situation is similar to what he guessed, Zhao Mu would like to take the opportunity to trick Old Man Qi.

"Let's go, Junior Brother Zhao!"

Yan Qingyue's cold and deep eyes swept over Zhao Mu.

"that...."

Zhao Mu said apologetically, "I've consumed too much energy right now and need to recover some of my spiritual power. Is that okay?"

"Master is still waiting!"

"..."

“I…”

Zhao Mu spread his hands, indicating that he was completely unable to take any action at the moment.

"It doesn't matter!"

Yan Qingyue walked forward slowly, and in full view of everyone, she reached out and took Zhao Mu's arm, saying calmly, "I'll take you away."

Wow~

This scene stunned everyone present.

"No....Can anyone tell me what's going on now?"

"She got it. Senior Sister Yan actually got it."

"Wow, wow, wow~ My Senior Sister Yan is gone!"

"Who is this Zhao Mu? Why is Senior Sister Yan so kind to him, even supporting him with her own hands..."

"Yeah, in all these years, I've never heard of Senior Sister Yan touching any man, not even a man getting within ten feet of Senior Sister Yan. This kid, I'm so envious and jealous!"

“…”

Not only did the disciples of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace above the clouds cast angry glances at Zhao Mu, but even those who had just passed the Heavenly Ladder test were dumbfounded. Such a fairy-like person, actually...

"this...."

Zhao Mu was caught off guard by Yan Qingyue's behavior. He never thought that the latter would take the initiative to support his arm. This seemed completely inconsistent with her cold and aloof personality.

Beauty is a disaster, it’s really scary.

At this moment, Zhao Mu could clearly feel the countless eyes around him sweeping towards him, and he felt like he was being stabbed in the back.

From now on, I’m afraid I won’t have a peaceful life in Hunyuan Taiqing Palace.

But now that things have come to this, he will not withdraw his hand and deliberately move away from Yan Qingyue. After all, this would be too disrespectful to her. Of course, the most important thing is that he really cannot do without the latter's support at this moment.

After all, the consumption is too great.

Even if he had taken the fourth-grade soul-restoring elixir, it would take at least one or two hours to recover.

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Sister Yan!"

"No trouble!"

Before she finished speaking, Yan Qingyue tapped her lotus feet lightly and led Zhao Mu up the stairs through the clouds. Under the gazes of countless people, they disappeared into the depths of the clouds in an instant.

.....

Under the guidance of Yan Qingyue, after passing through the thick clouds and fog, Zhao Mu finally saw the true appearance of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace.

The endless towering mountains stretch as far as the eye can see. Some of the larger peaks are dotted with palace complexes. All kinds of rare and exotic animals shuttle through the peaks, and the well-organized disciples are a bit overwhelming.

Zhao Mu had only one feeling about Hunyuan Taiqing Palace: it was huge, so huge that it was beyond his comprehension.

"Is this a top-tier force..."

The strong visual impact made Zhao Mu couldn't help but sigh, but the sigh came and went quickly, because the feeling of being on edge did not disappear even after entering the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, and it even became stronger.

Yan Qingyue's popularity in Hunyuan Taiqing Palace is so high that people stop to watch wherever she goes.

As the first man to come into contact with her, it was inevitable that he would receive some 'strange' looks.

A quarter of an hour later, with the flash of light from the teleportation array, a lush green mountain forest towering into the clouds appeared in front of Zhao Mu.

On the right side, there is a winding path paved with green spirit stones. Following the path up the steps, through layers of clouds and mist, you come to the halfway point of the mountain. There are no luxurious palaces here, only three or two ordinary thatched houses, and a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences.

"Junior Brother Zhao, we're here!"

Yan Qingyue pushed open the wooden door and motioned Zhao Mu to enter.

In the yard, there was only a figure with gray hair but a perfect plump figure, fiddling with flowers and plants.

Different from the ordinary flowers and plants planted by my mother Yin Qiuyue, the ones here are all rare magical herbs and medicines that are rarely seen outside. The medicinal fragrance that comes to your face is almost intoxicating.

"Master, Junior Brother Zhao is here!"

After Yan Qingyue called out to the old woman, she ignored Zhao Mu's reaction and walked out of the courtyard, even considerately closing the door.

???

Zhao Mu stood there in a daze, waiting left and right, but there was no response from the old woman.

He could only find a place to sit cross-legged and recover his over-consumed spiritual energy.

Perhaps it was because the fourth-grade soul-rejuvenating elixir was effective, or perhaps it was because the spiritual energy was abundant here, but in less than an hour, Zhao Mu's nearly exhausted dantian spiritual sea finally recovered.

As for the ball of lightning, I'm afraid I can only wait for the next opportunity to recover it.

After all, it would take some time before the next time I could practice the second level of Tianlei Jue.

"Whoo~"

After Zhao Mu exhaled a breath of foul air, he slowly opened his eyes.

But when he opened his eyes, he was indeed stunned.
