Gu Dao Tian Zong, when Ye Yun brought people back and told them about the events of this Four Sects Assembly, it truly shocked Gu Chen to his core.
Before, learning that Ye Yun was at the Venerable cultivation level was already terrifying. He never expected that he had reached such a terrifying level. For a time, the entire sect members revered Ye Yun immensely.
On Qingyun Peak, Ye Yun called Lin Xueyan and Bai Xiaoxiao, smiling as he spoke.
"You both performed very well in this Four Sects Assembly, but do not become arrogant. You must cultivate diligently in the future."
"Especially Xiaoxiao, remember to absorb the Flower of the Vacant Apertures as soon as possible. It will be of great help to you!"
Last time, Lin Xueyan's comprehension increased so much after absorbing the Nine-Leaf Exquisite Flower. He figured Bai Xiaoxiao wouldn't be any different.
"Mmm-hmm, your disciple will work hard!"
Bai Xiaoxiao repeatedly agreed, her eyes full of determination.
Ye Yun nodded, then extended his hand and said with a smile.
"Next, these few profound skills are the rewards I, your master, am giving you."
Several jade slips flew into their respective hands. Lin Xueyan looked at a jade slip with some doubt and said.
"Master, what level of profound skill is this? Is it top-tier Profound grade?"
Because he had only taught her one move of the Broken Cloud Sword Skill before, she only knew that the sword skill was powerful but didn't know its quality.
Ye Yun chuckled and said, "How can top-tier Profound grade be worthy of you? What I am imparting to you are the top-tier Earth grade Broken Cloud Sword Skill, Wind Thunder Sword Control Art, and a portion of a top-tier Earth grade movement technique, Snow Trace Without a Trace."
"Top-tier Earth grade?!"
Upon hearing the quality of these profound skills, the two girls' hands trembled in shock, almost dropping the jade slips.
Stunned, they could barely close their mouths. This master was too generous!
It wasn't over yet. As soon as Ye Yun finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and quickly looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, reminding her.
"Right, Xiaoxiao, do you remember when I said I had a surprise for you if you cultivated the Ice Shadow Art to great perfection?"
"Mmm-hmm, of course, I remember."
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded like a pecking chick, then her expression changed to surprise as she realized.
"Could it be that what Master mentioned was this top-tier Earth grade profound skill? It truly is a great surprise!"
Top-tier Earth grade profound skills were something even the Bai family couldn't find one of back then. Yet, she obtained it like this. It couldn't be said to be not surprising.
However, Ye Yun shook his head and chuckled, "Who said it was top-tier Earth grade?"
This left Bai Xiaoxiao dumbfounded, and she asked doubtfully, "Ah? Then what quality is it?"
"Besides the top-tier Earth grade Snow Trace Without a Trace, the other profound skill you hold is a Heavenly grade profound skill, Ten Directions Ice Blossom."
*Clatter...*
The jade slip fell from Bai Xiaoxiao's hand, and her face turned blank with astonishment.
Ye Yun helplessly picked it up, handed it back to her, and said, "I say, you, be careful. What if it breaks?"
Hearing her master's voice, Bai Xiaoxiao finally managed to regain her senses. The jade slip felt like it was burning her hand, jumping up and down, almost falling again.
After a long while, she finally gripped it steadily. She then looked at Ye Yun in amazement and couldn't help but ask.
"Master... is this really okay? Giving me such a precious profound skill just like that?"
"What's the problem with that? As a master, one should impart knowledge and teach skills."
These words struck the hearts of the two girls, making them incredibly moved.
As a master, one should impart knowledge and teach skills. These words were simple to say, but how many people throughout history could truly achieve such a feat?
There's an ancient saying, 'teaching your disciple starves yourself.' In most cases, masters would not truly give their all to their disciples, holding something back.
But their master not only imparted skills to them and bestowed heavenly treasures but now also granted them top-tier profound skills that even the Immortal Palace kept as its ultimate treasure. He truly held nothing back.
Ye Yun thought for a moment and said to Lin Xueyan, "As for Xueyan, your master doesn't have a Heavenly grade sword skill for now, so you'll have to make do with an Earth grade profound skill."
To speak of using an Earth grade profound skill as making do, perhaps only he could utter such arrogant words in the world.
Lin Xueyan shook her head and said, "It's okay, your disciple is already very satisfied! I never even dared to dream of a top-tier Earth grade profound skill before. Thank you for your grace, master!"
After speaking, she walked in front of Ye Yun. As if she had thought of something, she suddenly tilted her head and said.
"Um, Master, can you bend down a little?"
"Hmm?"
Ye Yun was stunned for a moment but complied. He bent down and looked at her, asking.
"Xueyan, what is it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yun felt a soft touch on his lips, moist and sweet, and a gentle fragrance filled the air.
He saw Lin Xueyan standing on tiptoe and directly kissing his mouth, hitting the bullseye perfectly, causing Bai Xiaoxiao beside them to gasp slightly.
Ye Yun's pupils contracted. He was truly startled by her actions and immediately retreated two steps, saying.
"Xueyan, you this..."
"Master, this is my first kiss!"
Lin Xueyan also stood there with a blush, her hands entwined at her waist, looking a bit shy and awkward.
"Is that the point? Why give your first kiss to me?"
Hearing this, Lin Xueyan said with a blush, "Didn't Master say that if I got first place in the Four Sects Assembly, I could kiss you?"
"..."
Ye Yun then remembered this matter. He glared at her and said with annoyance.
"When did I agree to that? Wasn't that you talking to yourselves?"
"..."
Lin Xueyan fell silent for a moment. After a while, she slowly raised her head and said.
"Then how about this, Master, you kiss me back?"
"..."
Ye Yun's face turned dark. He couldn't help but reach out and playfully tug her small face, saying.
"You little girl, I hope you can be as clever when you cultivate."
After all, a disciple kissing her master was seen as acting cute or mischievous, but if the master kissed back, well... that would be a bit problematic.
Of course, the main reason was that the kiss from a beautiful young girl felt too intoxicating. Ye Yun was truly afraid that one day he wouldn't be able to control himself and would fall into it, becoming a pervert.
Perhaps it was fate, but the disciples he took in were all perfect in appearance.
Like at this moment, Lin Xueyan was playfully sticking out her tongue at him, looking so cute it made one want to commit a crime.
Then she looked proudly at her junior sister, as if showing off that she had kissed her master.
To this, the certain Ms. Bai calmly said, "A long time ago, when Master brought me back from the Bai family, we had already kissed."
She looked like a little cat that had successfully stolen some fish.
Ye Yun's mouth twitched slightly. The previous incident had left a deep impression on him.
Lin Xueyan was stunned to hear this, never expecting such a thing. She immediately looked at Ye Yun with indignant anger.
"Master! You've kissed before! This is unfair!!!"
She tightly hugged her master's arm and looked up at Ye Yun, not caring that her soft chest was pressing against her master, causing a jolt in his heart.
To be honest, this wonderful feeling was indeed enjoyable, so much so that Ye Yun was almost unable to suppress his primal power.
In a flash, Ye Yun directly activated Snow Trace Without a Trace, and his figure disappeared from the spot with a whoosh, rushing into the cave dwelling and shutting the door behind him.
"Xueyan, we'll discuss this matter later. Your master is going into seclusion and doesn't know when he'll come out. You two cultivate well!"
A voice from inside the cave dwelling made Lin Xueyan feel dejected. Her heart was almost sinking. She couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"Is Master really a man? Can't he be a little more beastly?"
