Accompanied by the familiar sound that resonated in her ears.
Ning Qingyan instinctively thought that she was experiencing auditory hallucinations.
Until a cat came out from under the bed, jumped on her, and looked at her with big, cunning eyes.
She was stunned for a moment and asked cautiously: "Tang Yu?"
"Who else, if not me?"
Tang Yu suddenly sat up on the bed and said, "I thought it would take a few more days to release you, but I didn't expect that submaster of yours to handle things so well."
Although Ning Qingyan was somewhat naive, she knew how to be clever when the situation required it.
Coming back to her senses, she looked at Tang Yu with wide eyes and asked:
"Was it you who was pulling the strings behind the scenes?"
After being freed by her fellow disciples, she already knew that her master had resigned from the position of leader of the sect.
On the way, she felt a lot of confusion about the matter.
With her master's stubborn character, if it weren't for the Ancestor speaking, how could she have voluntarily resigned from the position of leader?
Now, she had the answer.
"If I hadn't done it, what if you had died in the Pure Water Formation? After all, we are friends. How could I stand by while they let you die?"
Tang Yu moved closer to Ning Qingyan, lay down next to her, and rested her cat-like head on her thigh while saying:
"Do you know what happened in your Maiden Sect while you were trapped in the Formation?"
"What happened?"
"Your master's old lover..."
Tang Yu laughed as she smiled and recounted everything that had happened.
Upon hearing that Xiao Junle came to seek her master and openly competed for her affection with Elder Meng Zihao...
Ning Qingyan almost fell out of surprise.
What the hell was that?
"So, that's how it was."
Ning Qingyan murmured: "These years, my master has ruled the sect too rigidly. At the time, the sect was booming, and since she led by example, everyone followed the rules, but now..."
Not even the one who imposed the rules respects them.
So how can we expect the others to follow them?
And moreover, the sect is already showing signs of decay. Her master, as the helmsman, has long lost control over the Maiden Sect.
"Aren't you angry with me? I thought you'd get mad and break up with me."
Tang Yu asked with a mischievous smile.
"I thought about blaming you, but I can't do that. As you said, if my master hadn't attacked first, none of this would have happened."
Ning Qingyan sighed and said: "Besides, you risked so much to come and save me, how could I reproach you?"
As the number one enemy to be eliminated from the Maiden Sect, if her divided soul had fallen into the hands of the sect, even if she didn't die, she couldn't progress any further in her cultivation in this life.
Using part of the soul against the original body, what great sect doesn't have similar methods?
"Ah, ah, ah, I really put in a lot of effort! My biggest flaw is that I'm too loyal. When I said I'd come, Sister Nangong and Sister Liu turned their backs on me right away, saying if I dared to come, they'd expel me from the sect. Still, I came secretly."
While speaking, Tang Yu rubbed her face vigorously against Ning Qingyan's thigh.
Perhaps because Tang Yu had the body of a cute, furry cat...
Ning Qingyan showed no intention of rejecting her. On the contrary, she reached out and petted Tang Yu's soft fur several times.
"It must have been very hard for you. I owe you another big favor."
After thanking her, she smiled sweetly and said: "During this time in the Formation, I've thought a lot. All of this was inevitable, so I'm clear about it now. You were right from the beginning: I must become the leader of the sect."
If her master led the Maiden Sect down the wrong path...
Then it was up to this disciple to correct her mistakes.
"You won't go wrong if you listen to me, but with your current level, in the mid-stage of the Soul Nurturing realm, I'm afraid becoming the leader will be quite difficult, right?"
Tang Yu asked with a laugh.
In the seven great sects, there isn't a single leader whose level is below the Divine Transformation realm.
And this isn't about talent, it's simply...
The level is too low to impose oneself.
"So you can do it, right?"
Ning Qingyan looked at Tang Yu with some frustration. She had always been called a genius wherever she went.
But now, comparing herself to this person, she realized that the difference was really big.
"For me, it's that I have money, it has nothing to do with the cultivation level. Except in your Maiden Sect, in any other sect, I could be appointed as leader without problem."
Tang Yu said with a laugh.
"Then I'll think of another way. I'm about to advance; if I manage to reach the peak of the Soul Nurturing level, maybe the sect will make an exception."
Ning Qingyan said softly.
"And what if you fail in that attempt at isolation? I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"
"What idea?"
"I'll pass you the mental cultivation technique from my Hehuan Sect, and you can practice dual cultivation secretly with me. That would help you a lot in breaking the limit."
Tang Yu barely finished speaking before almost making Ning Qingyan choke.
Her white, beautiful face turned scarlet, and she said, embarrassed and annoyed:
"I don't want to!"
"At this point, you're going to get shy? Besides, it's not a carnal dual cultivation, it's of souls. I have a cauldron body, if you wanted to do it with the body, I wouldn't even want it!"
Tang Yu snorted.
"Do you know what time it is? If you don't hurry up and become the sect leader, what if someone else does it? Are we going to face off with our Hehuan Sect? Does the Maiden Sect have that kind of power now?"
"In the end, everything started as a commercial competition between both sects, and then Fang Meiyun made it worse."
"Now that Fang Meiyun has fallen, if you become the leader, with my backing in the Hehuan Sect, what problem wouldn't be solved?"
After this long reprimand from Tang Yu,
Ning Qingyan, still with a red face, turned her gaze and began to think seriously.
And she had to admit that, indeed, it seemed she was right.
If someone else became the leader, it was very likely that the conflicts between the two sects wouldn't end.
After thinking for a long time, Ning Qingyan turned her head and whispered: "..."
Tang Yu looked at her and saw that even the tips of her ears were red. She couldn't help but laugh to herself and think: "Embarrassed by that? If you knew that the other night you grabbed me at midnight to pick mushrooms, wouldn't you die of embarrassment?"
Just as Tang Yu was about to tell her about the mental technique,
footsteps were heard outside Ning Qingyan's residence.
Then a sweet female voice was heard.
"Senior Sister Ning, may I come in? My cat seems to have gotten in here."
Upon hearing the girl's voice outside, both a person and a cat looked at each other.
Then Ning Qingyan quickly stood up and said:
"It's here with me, you can come in."
Tang Yu quickly threw herself on the bed, pretending to be asleep and lethargic.
A moment later, Chunhua entered from outside, approached, picked up Tang Yu in her arms, and planted several kisses:
"My darling, why are you running around all day?"
"..."
Tang Yu looked at Ning Qingyan innocently.
Ning Qingyan, for her part, opened her eyes wide, staring at this person, and then asked:
"Chunhua, is that cat yours?"
"Yes, I've had it for a while now, isn't it adorable?"
Chunhua replied, hugging it against her chest and smiling.
"Very adorable, very adorable. Do you always hug it like that every day?"
"No, when I'm cultivating, he goes off to play alone. The other sisters also love him."
"I see."
Ning Qingyan's gaze toward Tang Yu now showed a hint of disdain.
"Finally, you're out! It's been a long time since we went to the hot springs together. Come on, let's take a bath. That'll help get rid of some of the internal cold."
"Alright. And him?"
"He's coming too. He loves the hot springs, he goes every day. He even gives massages
