Her long, jet-black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, fluttering in the wind.
The young girl held a long spear, looking heroic and spirited.
Her cultivation has already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, so it must be Yun Ying without a doubt.
At the late Foundation Establishment stage of eighteen or nineteen years old, Yun Ying's achievements at such an age truly make her a prodigy.
………………
"Is everyone here?"
"Next..."
Yun Ying glanced around at everyone present, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over Jiang Che, and she paused noticeably in her speech.
A hint of amazement flashed in her eyes; she had never expected that such a handsome man would accompany her on her journey to the Ten Thousand Mountains to complete the academy's mission.
Although she wasn't an absolute sucker for looks, Jiang Che's appearance was still very attractive to her.
Men like beautiful women, and vice versa; women naturally like handsome men.
With her outstanding appearance, Yun Ying had a very good first impression of Jiang Che.
Jiang Che naturally noticed Yun Ying's gaze and smiled slightly.
"Keep up..."
Yun Ying's face flushed slightly. She turned her head, gave an order, and then walked ahead on her own.
The disciples following behind her showed great respect for Yun Ying, and did not look down on her because of her young age.
In the world of cultivation, might makes right.
Yun Ying's cultivation level is undeniable, and she is fully worthy of their respect.
………………
The academy occupies a very large area. Yunying led the group through many twists and turns, and after traveling for half an hour, they finally arrived at the huge martial arts arena at the back of the academy.
The prepared spirit boat had already been moored there.
The journey to the Ten Thousand Mountains is long and arduous. Considering that those on this mission are all Qi Refining Realm disciples with low cultivation levels,
Few people know how to fly on a sword or traverse the air, so Yun Ying acquired this spirit boat to facilitate travel.
After everyone had boarded the spirit boat, Yun Ying instructed the helmsman to take off immediately.
The spirit boat slowly rose into the air, its massive hull soaring hundreds of feet above the ground, and sped rapidly toward the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Unlike the other disciples who went into their rooms to rest, Jiang Che stood by the railing, observing everything in the sky with great interest.
The spirit boat sped through the void, a fierce wind rushing towards them, but it couldn't even stir a single hem of Jiang Che's clothes.
The gale swept past, but was blocked by an invisible barrier of spiritual energy when it reached Jiang Che.
"Hey man, what's your name?"
As Jiang Che was looking around, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang in his ears, which was very pleasant to hear.
Jiang Che subconsciously turned his head and saw Yun Ying blinking her bright, clear eyes, staring at him with a face full of curiosity.
...........................
P.S.: I'm asking for flowers, monthly tickets, ratings, and all kinds of data.
019: Protecting my junior brother is all my duty as a senior sister. (Please give me flowers and add this to your favorites)
"My name is Jiang Che, and I greet Senior Sister Yun Ying..."
Jiang Che sized up the girl standing in front of him with a gun, then bowed respectfully.
"Jiang Che?"
"Hmm... The water along the riverbank is crystal clear..."
"The name is quite nice..."
"You're a new student at the academy, aren't you?"
Yunying stretched out her delicate white hand, rested her chin on it, and pondered for a moment before speaking thoughtfully.
When she received this mission, she specifically checked the list of accompanying disciples, and Jiang Che's name was not on it.
Moreover, she had never seen Jiang Che at the academy before.
Therefore, it can be inferred that the man in front of him must have just joined the academy not long ago.
"That's right..."
"Just joined five days ago..."
Jiang Che nodded slightly and answered Yun Ying's question.
Then he directly checked Yunying's entry panel.
[Character: Yun Ying]
[Cultivation Level: Late Foundation Establishment]
[Entries: One in a Million (Red), Peerless Genius (Purple), Beauty of the Nation (Purple), Master Marksmanship (Purple), Good Fortune Comes in Pairs (Cyan)...]
[Approval rating: 40%]
.....................
Jiang Che looked at Yun Ying's entry panel and seemed to be deep in thought.
Like Ali and Yang Yuhuan, Yun Ying also has three purple attributes.
and……
The little girl's self-esteem rating immediately reached 40?
I never knew she was such a sucker for good looks!
Having gained so much recognition after just one meeting, it shouldn't be too difficult to manipulate the attributes associated with Yun Ying.
Jiang Che was also quite interested in marksmanship.
After all, who would complain about having too many accolades on their profile?
If possible, Jiang Che would prefer to be a perfect man who is proficient in all eighteen martial arts!
………………
"So, you're my junior brother then..."
"Since you call me senior sister, I'll protect you!"
"Once we reach the Ten Thousand Mountains, remember to stay by your senior sister's side!"
Yun Ying patted the slightly protruding mound on her chest and spoke arrogantly, displaying the air of a young lady from a wealthy family.
She is now at the late Foundation Establishment stage, which is much stronger than Jiang Che's peak Qi Refining stage, so she naturally has confidence.
Jiang Che smiled noncommittally.
Although Miss Yunying is a bit arrogant and quirky, she is also lively and cheerful, with a kind heart. She doesn't act superior to the weak and doesn't appear domineering.
"In that case... I thank you, Senior Sister..."
Regardless of the circumstances, Yun Ying meant well, so Jiang Che naturally went along with her.
"Need not…"
"Since you call me senior sister, this is what I should do!"
"Protecting my junior brother is my duty as a senior sister!"
Yun Ying waved her hand, her face calm and composed, speaking in a tone that seemed perfectly natural.
If the other academy disciples heard Yun Ying say this, they would definitely be full of complaints in their hearts!
With so many disciples accompanying you, why don't you go and protect the others?
Is the goal to protect only Jiang Che?
The drunkard's intention is not to drink!
Yunying admitted that she was indeed a bit of a looks-obsessed person and had a very good impression of the incredibly handsome young man in front of her, which was why she took the initiative to strike up a conversation and even said she would protect him.
………………
The spirit boat flew at high speed a hundred feet in the sky, and it took half an hour to leave the territory of Chang'an City.
Jiang Che stood in front of the railing, chatting idly with Yun Ying.
Two hours passed quietly.
It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky and it was noon that the spirit boat finally reached its destination: the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Jiang Che gazed straight ahead into the distance, observing his surroundings.
The mountain peaks stretch endlessly, towering into the clouds, with clouds rolling and unfolding, extending for more than ten thousand miles.
Within a thousand miles, there was no human habitation, only a few birds occasionally flying across the sky, a desolate and cold scene.
The environment is beautiful, with lush trees, towering peaks, craggy rocks, steep terrain, and precipitous cliffs.
The Ten Thousand Mountains are the main habitat of many monsters in the Heluo region, and only some monsters and various animals are active here.
Ordinary people would never come to such a place, not even cultivators with some level of cultivation.
After the spirit boat landed smoothly, Jiang Che stepped off the boat and onto this land.
As far as the eye could see, there were clusters of trees, some tens of feet tall, reaching straight into the clouds, with no end in sight.
The surrounding area was overgrown with bushes and flowers, and rustling sounds could be heard from time to time from the bushes, making the atmosphere somewhat gloomy.
A cold wind swept over them, and many academy disciples couldn't help but shiver, feeling a sense of panic in their hearts.
Like Jiang Che, these people were basically new disciples who had just joined the academy, and their cultivation levels were generally at the Qi Refining stage, with most at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Although I had experience going out to gain experience before, this time the situation was completely different.
The dangers of the Ten Thousand Mountains had long been known throughout the Heluo region, so it would be a lie to say they weren't nervous.
