"Phew! Finally done." Liang Yi clapped his hands and breathed a sigh of relief in relief.

From the name of this task alone, it can be seen that the death of Senior Zhou Yuqing not only caused a knot in Master's heart but also in Master's wife's heart.

Because of him, Master's wife was heartbroken—this is where Master's knot lies.

Now that Senior Zhou Yuqing has regained his memory, and Master's wife has also broken free from her inner demon and left the ice wall, such a result should be considered quite good.

"It's a pity that Master isn't here." The somewhat regretful words from Su Youyi beside him made Liang Yi deeply agree.

Although Master's wife rarely mentioned Master after coming out of the ice wall, the subtle searching movements she made after seeing Senior Zhou Yuqing were still noticed by both Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

Without spotting Master, except for being fully focused while healing Senior Zhou Yuqing, at other times their Master's wife always inadvertently showed a hint of sadness.

But now, Master is guarding outside the Abyssal Rift and really cannot leave.

Zhou Yuzhi also knew this and thus didn't mention Chen Hua much in front of Zhou Ruanxian.

"Little sister, what do you plan to do next?" Zhou Ruanxian asked Zhou Yuqing, who had calmed down, wanting to know her next plans.

"I... I haven't thought it through yet." Zhou Yuqing left her sister's embrace and shook her head slightly with a confused expression.

"Stay here for a while then. We haven't seen each other for such a long time, and I can take this opportunity to teach those two youngsters a thing or two," Zhou Ruanxian proposed with a soft smile.

"Alright, I'll listen to my sister." Zhou Yuqing decisively nodded, indeed needing some time to sort out her thoughts.

Su Youyi looked somewhat surprised, unclear about what Master's wife planned to teach them. Liang Yi had a guess in his mind; it must undoubtedly be the Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique.

"Having siblings is really great, meow." The deep sisterly affection made the solitary fighter, Old Master Orange, somewhat envious.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely find you a little female cat when I get the chance," Liang Yi said, comforting softly as he looked at Old Master Orange's somewhat lonely figure.

Old Master Orange glanced unexpectedly at Liang Yi, not thinking that this scoundrel would actually consider his feelings. After a brief thought, Old Master Orange silently extended a paw.

"Are we making a pact with a high five?" Liang Yi was somewhat confused but still stretched out a finger honestly, ready to give Old Master Orange a high five.

"Not a high five, damn it. This lord wants five meows!" Old Master Orange looked dissatisfied as he pushed Liang Yi's index finger aside and spread his paw.

"Do you still want more cat antics? Aren't you afraid of tiring yourself out, getting dark circles under your eyes?" Liang Yi responded by messing up Old Master Orange's head with his hands.

"What about five?" Su Youyi, who was nearby, was curious, not knowing what her senior brother was whispering to Old Master Orange.

"Uh...Old Master Orange said he wants...five dried small fishes in one meal," Liang Yi awkwardly joked, finding an excuse to gloss over the conversation.

Old Master Orange snorted coldly, wanting both the dried small fishes and the female cat—he wanted them all!

Su Youyi, although looking somewhat skeptical, didn't dwell on it too much.

Due to Zhou Yu recovering from a severe injury, he had specially summoned the sect's alchemist to prepare many targeted rare Spirit Pills, a move that had sufficiently angered the elders of the sect.

However, this allowed a top Cultivator of the Eighth Realm to establish good relations with the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, and after calculating the benefits, not only was there no loss, but actually a significant gain; hence, those elders are now all smiles.

Due to Zhou Ruanxian's insistence on Zhou Yuqing recovering from her injuries first, she only had free time two days later.

Atop a snowy peak of the Sword Pond, Zhou Ruanxian, dressed in a blue robe with three thousand strands of blue hair cascading over her shoulders, was smiling gently at Liang Yi and Su Youyi standing in front of her; her pale blue eyes tender and watery, complementing the soft red hue of Su Youyi's eyes.

"You two are Daoist companions, huh," Zhou Ruanxian had managed to grasp the details of their relationship from Su Youyi within a short two days, and had even engaged Su Youyi in a night-long conversation, getting informed about everything that happened to them since they joined the sect.

Upon hearing this, Su Youyi blushed slightly. Having never experienced maternal love from childhood, Su Youyi had quickly bonded extremely well with her mentor over the past few days, largely because she felt a different kind of warmth from her.

It was a feeling known as maternal love.

Even the Daoist robe she was wearing now was custom-tailored with stitch-by-stitch care over two days of casual conversation by Zhou Ruanxian for her and her senior brother.

"Fairy Sister, didn't you already know all of this?" Liang Yi looked helpless. Originally, they had always addressed their mentor's partner as 'Mentor Mother'.

But Zhou Ruanxian preferred not, feeling that such a title aged her, so she simply let Liang Yi and Su Youyi call her Fairy Sister, and addressed Zhou Yuqing as Sister Yuqing.

Liang Yi had even privately complained, thinking Fairy Sister was rather bland, and preferred calling her Fairy Sister instead.

"Double-checking is never wrong," Zhou Ruanxian squinted, smiling gently like a spring breeze.

Liang Yi could tell that underneath her gentle demeanor, this Mentor Mother also possessed a playful heart.

"Indeed a type that Mentor would like," Liang Yi mused, comparing his mentor's usual behavior and style with their Mentor Mother, finding them unexpectedly well-matched.

Training involved only the two of them, while Mr. Orange, in his orange cat form, seemed to be either eating or sleeping, whereabouts unknown.

"Alright, as your Mentor Mother, it is fitting to give you a welcome gift when we first meet," said Zhou Ruanxian seriously, hands on her hips. "Besides the Law Fragment you previously received, I have decided to put you through a special training session on the Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique."

Liang Yi and Su Youyi stood attentively, carefully taking in Zhou Ruanxian's guidance. However, when the Law Fragment was mentioned, Liang Yi subtly touched his brow.

Inside his Sea of Consciousness, apart from the already existing Qinglian and Big Cave Fetal Breath Lamp, there was now a new resident: a pale blue diamond-shaped ice crystal.

[Extreme Cold Law Fragment]: First-grade Golden Quality, one of the fragments of the Great Dao's Extreme Cold Law, possesses all sorts of incredible mysteries. It can significantly enhance the comprehension speed of any ice attribute Daoist Skill or Swordsmanship, and slightly reduce the damage from ice attribute attacks.

For those with exceptional talents, this fragment could further aid in comprehending the Extreme Cold Law.

This one Law Fragment alone was enough to make any Cultivator stuck in the Seventh Realm risk their life to steal it, which is why he instructed his junior sister to hide it well, as any shameless old timer running out of lifespan might come to steal it.

"You have also used the Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique before, you should be aware of its power," Zhou Ruanxian's voice drifted lightly with the snowflakes, bringing Liang Yi back to his senses.
