"Huh? What's lewd?" Ye Yun was stunned on the spot, looking at her with a strange expression.
"I meant, since there's time, I plan to impart some power to you."
"Uh... impart power?"
"Yes, what else did you think?"
"I..."
This time, Bai Xiaoxiao was bewildered. Her delicate face instantly turned red all the way to her ears, a stark contrast to her usual calm and dignified demeanor.
She quickly realized that she had misinterpreted her master, and in such an absurd direction.
At this moment, Ye Yun couldn't help but lean in close to her, staring into her eyes.
"You little girl, you don't think your master is going to take advantage of you, do you?"
"I... I didn't..."
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head frantically, but her flushed cheeks were not convincing at all.
Her amusing reaction made Lin Xueyan and Gu Xiaoyue stifle their laughter.
The mischievous Gu Xiaoyue took the opportunity to tease her.
"I really didn't expect that Junior Sister Bai, with her icy princess exterior, would know so much about matters between men and women?"
"Aiya, Junior Sister looks so cute when she blushes and is shy!"
Bai Xiaoxiao was already immensely ashamed due to misunderstanding her master's intentions, and now being teased like this by Gu Xiaoyue, she felt utterly mortified, wishing she could crawl into a hole.
But it wasn't over yet, even Lin Xueyan joined in the fun.
"Yes, Junior Sister, you are truly a hidden talent. But Master is not the kind of person you imagine."
No matter how calm and dignified Bai Xiaoxiao was, she was still just a girl of fifteen or sixteen. She had never experienced such a situation.
The words of her master and her two senior sisters made Bai Xiaoxiao so ashamed that she almost cried. She didn't even know how to retort, only lowering her head shyly, her head almost steaming.
Fortunately, Ye Yun finally spoke.
"You two girls, stop teasing your junior sister."
Ye Yun helplessly stopped them. Although Bai Xiaoxiao, this petite ice beauty, was very cute and even pleasing to the eye when shy and blushing, as a master, he had to consider his disciple's feelings.
Lin Xueyan and Gu Xiaoyue pouted adorably and didn't continue.
Then Ye Yun looked at Bai Xiaoxiao and sighed.
"Alright, Xiaoxiao, let's drop this matter. In short, you don't need to worry. Your master is not a bad person who would force his disciples to do anything."
"Regarding this, you'll understand when you talk to your senior sisters later. Your master is very self-disciplined."
Ye Yun didn't notice that Lin Xueyan beside him was looking at him resentfully as he spoke, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Indeed, she was so beautiful, and her master seemed completely unmoved. She even suspected if he was not attracted to women.
Under Ye Yun's comfort, Bai Xiaoxiao gradually regained some rationality and nodded gently.
"Disciple understands. I apologize for misunderstanding Master just now..."
"It's all in the past, no need to dwell on it."
Ye Yun waved his hand indifferently and then smiled.
"Alright, quickly sit cross-legged. Your master will impart power to you now."
"Thank you, Master! Disciple will prepare immediately!"
Given Bai Xiaoxiao's background, she naturally understood what imparting power meant, and her admiration for Ye Yun grew even more.
She had only just become a disciple and had spoken to him disrespectfully, yet her master was willing to impart power to her without any resentment. What a broad mind and magnanimous nature!
She quickly sat down, and Ye Yun sat behind her to begin imparting power.
A continuous stream of pure cultivation flowed from his palm into Bai Xiaoxiao's body. Her originally narrow and thin meridians were forcefully expanded by the impact of this formidable force.
Similar to Lin Xueyan's experience, after the initial painful impact of the power impartation, the subsequent process was purely enjoyable.
On one hand, it was the comfort of the body, and crucially, she could witness her cultivation level climbing at an extremely rapid pace.
Bai Xiaoxiao's cultivation quickly rose from the initial Innate Fourth Stage to the peak of Innate. Then, with Ye Yun's sustained effort, she forcefully broke through the transcendent barrier and entered the Transcendent First Stage!
A chilling cold air emanated from her body, transforming into ice flowers, as if the very space were about to freeze.
"Good, Transcendent First Stage. The improvement is quite good!"
Ye Yun was very satisfied with Bai Xiaoxiao's progress. Although she was half a year older than Lin Xueyan, reaching the Transcendent First Stage still placed her among the top tier of the younger generation in the Eastern Domain.
Even the Nine Nether Demon Sect, the foremost of the four great sects in the Eastern Domain, typically sent disciples who were sixteen years old and only at the Transcendent First Stage, far inferior to Bai Xiaoxiao, let alone Lin Xueyan.
Gu Xiaoyue, standing beside them, stared with wide eyes, her envy so intense that she was almost drooling.
Although she had heard from Lin Xueyan that she had been imparted power by Ye Yun right after becoming his disciple, she had found it incredible at the time. Now, seeing it, Ye Yun was truly a perfect master who was incredibly good to his disciples!
"No, no, I can't be envious of them. I'm going to be Elder Ye's dao companion!"
Gu Xiaoyue thought to herself secretly, her gaze towards Ye Yun firm.
At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao also opened her eyes, and the first thing she did was naturally express her gratitude to Ye Yun.
"Thank you, Master, for imparting power to me. Disciple truly has no way to repay you!"
"Hah, repayment is not important. Just don't become a rebellious disciple who plots against their master in the future."
"Master, rest assured, this disciple will definitely not become a rebellious disciple!"
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled with resolve, her promise to her master!
For a Venerable to impart power to someone, it was something that even within the Bai family, no one could experience. No Venerable would so generously contribute their cultivation, not even to their own family or disciples.
Her master, on the other hand, had so generously imparted power to her shortly after she became a disciple. Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be moved. She also seemed to understand why Senior Sister Lin and Senior Sister Gu would look at their master in that way.
Even so, Bai Xiaoxiao remained true to her principles. Although her master was truly a good person, and also very handsome, she would be a good disciple and would absolutely not become a rebellious one!
"Well, then your master is relieved. You should stabilize your realm first. Your master has had some inspiration and plans to meditate for a while."
Ye Yun waved his hand, his attention also drawn to the system's prompt.
[You have bestowed one hundred and ten days of cultivation upon your disciple. Congratulations on activating the twenty-fold return, and you have gained two thousand one hundred days of cultivation!]
"This should definitely lead to a significant increase now."
Ye Yun mused inwardly. Two thousand one hundred days of cultivation, which converted to about six years, was terrifying for a genius like Ye Yun.
In an instant, vast Xuan Qi condensed within his body, stirring up a majestic aura that dispersed the sea of clouds within a thousand miles.
Ye Yun's cultivation also soared rapidly, from Venerable First Stage instantly to Second, then Third, Fourth, and finally stopping at Venerable Fifth Stage!
His cultivation was so high that it was one realm above the current Sect Master of the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect, placing him at the pinnacle of the four great sects.
The surging power from him stunned the three women on the flying sword. Although they didn't know what had happened, they could tell that Ye Yun's aura was much more powerful than before.
The three women's eyes shone brightly. He had just imparted power to someone, yet his own cultivation had broken through. This was too incredible!
"Congratulations, Master, your cultivation has advanced again!"
When Ye Yun opened his eyes, Lin Xueyan and the other two immediately stepped forward to congratulate him. He smiled and nodded.
"It's alright, just a slight increase in strength."
All things considered, his trip to the Black Demon Sect had truly been a huge gain.
Apart from avenging Lin Xueyan to some extent, he had also obtained several peerless treasures. His cultivation had broken through to the Venerable realm, and now he was at Venerable Fifth Stage.
Furthermore, he had gained a new disciple and some intelligence related to the Nine Nether Demon Sect.
Of course, the most important thing was that he had identified Zhao Qiankun as the traitor within the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect. It was time to settle things with him upon their return to the sect.
However, catching a thief requires evidence, and catching an affair requires witnesses. He still needed to find evidence of Zhao Qiankun being a spy, otherwise, he would certainly not admit it, and it would be difficult to explain to the Sect Master.
Since that's the case...
Ye Yun pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He looked at the three women and smiled.
"When we return to the sect this time, your master needs your cooperation for a play."
