Ding Chunqiu's eyes lit up, and his gaze fell on Yang Mi, sizing her up.

This examination was no small matter.

Upon closer look, she truly seemed like a rare cultivation material.

Immediately, with a smile on his face, he rubbed his hands and said, "I noticed this young girl's Primordial Qi fluctuations are different from ordinary cultivators, and it turns out her Qi Sea has been opened. Young lady... would you be willing to be my student?"

Upon hearing this,

Yang Mi looked at Ding Chunqiu with disbelief.

She certainly couldn't let Ding Chunqiu be her teacher immediately, since she already had Fang Yu as her master. Traditionally, once you have a master, you don't usually seek guidance from others.

Seeing Yang Mi's bewildered expression,

Fang Yu said:

"No worries... Staying at Wanxian University to learn things can be considered as a tempering experience for your cultivation. Your Qi Sea is fully opened, which gives you an advantage over other students in this aspect. But staying here allows you to learn the strengths of various disciplines. Elder Ding is a formidable mid-stage Human Immortal!"

Upon hearing Fang Yu's words,

Yang Mi excitedly nodded and said, "Yes, I'll listen to my teacher. I'm very willing to follow your guidance! Greetings, Teacher Ding..."

Seeing Yang Mi receive such treatment,

Tuoba Yu'er, standing nearby, couldn't help but feel envious.

Her grandfather had said, this person is the Emperor Yu of Tiandu Mountain, who is her father.

Thinking of this, she was just about to speak.

Fang Yu's gaze fell on her, and he said blandly, "Everyone else, leave. Yu'er, stay."

Everyone was taken aback.

The male teacher who brought Tuoba Yu'er was about to say something.

Then Ding Chunqiu snorted coldly and said, "Leave!"

The male teacher had no choice but to step out.

Bang.

The door closed tightly.

As he was about to say something else,

Ding Chunqiu glared at the male teacher, saying, "If I find out you have any designs on Yu'er, I'll personally deal with you!"

"Ah?"

"Tuoba Yu'er is not someone you can covet, nor do you have the qualifications, and you don't deserve them either!"

"Principal Ding, I..."

"What, do my words carry no weight?" Ding Chunqiu's eyes widened.

Seeing his serious eyes,

The male teacher realized Ding Chunqiu wasn't joking, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I'll remember your words!"

After saying this, his expression dimmed.

From this moment on, he understood that the difference between him and Tuoba Yu'er was like heaven and earth.

...

In the office,

Fang Yu looked at Tuoba Yu'er with interest and said, "What bad things did Tuoba Xue'er say about me?"

"My mother... my mother..."

"Alright, enough with calling her mother... Back then, I left Essence in Tuoba Xue'er to treat her illness. Unexpectedly, this girl transformed you into a spirit body and reshaped you into human form." From the moment Fang Yu met Tuoba Yu'er, he felt she was different from others.

The creatures in the Demon Cave were very interested in her soul.

They called her the purest soul.

This is because Tuoba Yu'er wasn't born a human.

The Essence formed into a Spiritual Body.

And was forged into human form by Tuoba Xue'er.

Even calling her daughter.

However...

This was an unbearable reality for Tuoba Yu'er, who looked at Fang Yu in shock.

"How is this possible?"

Fang Yu smiled and said:

"You don't need to be so afraid... You were forged by Tuoba Xue'er, and she also helped raise you. Being her daughter is normal."

Tuoba Yu'er looked blank.

Fang Yu saw she was still struggling to accept this and said:

"In fact, there's another person quite similar to you. She's also formed from a spirit body. Her name is Shangguan Linghui. If you have time, you can meet her; perhaps you'll become good friends."

Upon hearing there was another person like her in the world, Tuoba Yu'er's expression softened significantly.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Shangguan Linghui is also someone's daughter. Her experiences are much greater than yours, and compared to her, you are much happier." Fang Yu sighed.

"Where is she now?"

"In my home."

Fang Yu stood up and said, "In order to serve as Ye Wenjun's Sword Slave, she even signed an Artifact Spirit contract. Later, when the Water Cold Sword was severely damaged, she was hit hard and thus became Ye Wenjun's Sword Spirit. It took countless years for her to become human."

Upon hearing this,

Tuoba Yu'er was equally shocked.

Fang Yu waved his hand and said:

"Enough of that... I kept you behind to tell you never to remove the Jade Pendant I gave you. I'll be visiting the Demon Cave soon, and if I provoke them, they might come for you first."

"What? You're going to the Demon Cave? What kind of place is that?" Tuoba Yu'er asked in surprise.

"I don't know either... The Demon Cave should be a gathering place for demons..." Fang Yu said.

Tuoba Yu'er remained silent.

She merely looked at the man in front of her with deep respect.

She had heard countless times from her grandfather about this man's legendary stories, where his words could make her completely obedient.

"Alright, that's enough for today. When you return, don't make your mother and grandfather sad." Fang Yu smiled. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Okay, I understand."

When Tuoba Yu'er looked up,

Fang Yu's figure had already vanished.

...

Meanwhile,

Fang Yu appeared outside the City Lord's Mansion in East City.

Having arranged things for Yang Mi and Tuoba Yu'er, coming here, how could he not see old friends?

As Fang Yu prepared to enter,

His phone rang.

Fang Yu paused momentarily, took the phone out, and said, "Chen Daotian?"

This guy had not contacted him for a long time; he was probably having a blast with a few other brothers.

"Yu Bro, you're back?" Chen Daotian said.

"Is it that shocking?" Fang Yu rolled his eyes.

"Yu Bro, it's been fifty years since we've seen each other, I've missed you like crazy... Where are you now? I want to find you for drinks. You once said, drink the strongest liquors, enjoy the wildest women!" Chen Daotian said.

"Get lost! Seriously, what have you been up to lately?" Fang Yu asked.

"What else can I do? Just cultivation and playing around. The world is peaceful now, nowhere that needs my skills. And having a big figure like you as a backer... there's no place for us." Chen Daotian said.

"Stop it! I warn you, the Demon Cave has been stirring restlessly lately, possibly invading Huaxia World. As one of the five Hall Masters, watch over Huaxia World." Fang Yu solemnly said.

"The Demon Cave?"

"Yes... Recently discovered a very peculiar monster that grows by devouring human souls and Primordial Qi!" Fang Yu said.

"That's terrifying! Yu Bro, I want to join you to fight enemies!"

"Not necessary for now... I haven't seen the Demon Cave, or entered it, but with my strength and cultivation, there shouldn't be any problem. Their lack of large-scale invasions indicates they also fear something. In any case... keep watch over our territory."

"Understood... But Yu Bro..."

"Speak."

"You must come back alive; I still want to chase women with you! Boohoo—"

"Get lost."
