Chapter 22: A Young Girl's Sentiments are Always Poetic

"What is he doing?"

Inside the Elder's Hall, the Seventh Elder watched as Ye Xiyun left the cave. Instead of immediately seeking out other demonic beasts or forming alliances with fellow disciples, he began collecting various herbs in the vicinity. The Seventh Elder couldn't help but ask in a puzzled tone.

"Lan Yang Grass, Green Pearl Vine, Floating Cloud Nine Leaves... These are all low-level spirit herbs that nourish the blood and body," the Fifth Elder, skilled in medical and alchemical arts, remarked.

"Why is this young man collecting these herbs?" the Sixth Elder asked. "It doesn't make sense. How does he know the properties of these herbs? Has he encountered these things before?"

"Sixth Junior Brother, these low-level spirit herbs are not uncommon. They can be found in the mortal world as well," the Fifth Elder explained. "Some physicians are familiar with the names and uses of these herbs. Low-level spirit herbs are not much different from ordinary medicinal herbs; they mainly differ in their spiritual energy."

"However... Is he collecting these herbs for that wild boar demonic beast?" The Fifth Elder raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of surprise on her cool face.

"Fifth Junior Sister, we'll find out by continuing to watch," the Seventh Elder, with a mischievous grin, said.

"This young man is doing some rather bewildering things," Yunxiao Zhenren shook his head. "While others have already found allies and are preparing to team up to hunt demonic beasts, he's still here rescuing a pig?"

"Senior Brother, you shouldn't be so quick to judge. Perhaps this child has a kind heart," the Seventh Elder, one of the two female elders among them, said.

"Senior Brother just thinks this child doesn't know how to prioritize," the Fourth Elder added. "After all, with the constitution of demonic beasts, giving birth and resting for a while is enough for them to recover. But this child is wasting time taking care of a pig. Isn't that a waste of time?"

After all, although these elders of the Tianxuan Sect held the title of elders, in terms of vision and insight, they were far behind Hua Zhongxian. Furthermore, they had only seen a few glimpses of the wild boar's current situation through the Qingyun Ancient Mirror, so they were not fully aware of its condition.

The elders were discussing the performances of various disciples, while Yun Yao sat obediently by Yunxiao Zhenren's side. She watched Ye Xiyun's actions with great interest and felt that this guy she needed to take responsibility for wasn't so bad after all.

After all, that night, Yun Yao had encountered something unusual for the first time. She had blurted out those words without thinking and didn't know how to explain it. When she heard Yunxiao Zhenren's summoning flute, she had hurriedly escaped.

Later, she realized that she was embarrassed in her room, and her face had turned as red as if she had a high fever. She had hidden under the covers, rolling from side to side. She felt like she had made a big fool of herself and didn't know what to do.

At that time, she could have prevented the boy from revealing the incident since he didn't know who she was. However, she had chosen not to, and now she wondered how to explain it.

Because of this, Yun Yao had been hesitant for several days. She had waited until the final test for the new disciples.

When she overheard the elders preparing to watch the disciples' performances in the last stage, she decided to come and watch as well. It was also an opportunity to understand this troublemaker who had the audacity to walk around naked in front of her the first time they met.

She had heard that this troublemaker had poor spiritual root talent, which initially disappointed her. However, it seemed that he possessed a unique constitution that had not been discovered. If he had this unique constitution, even with weaker spiritual root talent, it might not hinder his cultivation.

In that case, if this troublemaker was a decent person, she might as well take responsibility for him.

Yun Yao watched Ye Xiyun through the ancient mirror, feeding the wild boar, and couldn't help but smile. After all, young people who don't understand the complexities of love often believe that love is like the ancient vows written in books. Although they haven't experienced the romance, they always yearn for the moonlit blossoms.

So, when they hear the clattering of hooves, they tend to mistake it for a returning lover, not just a passerby. It's like the encounter of a seed and gentle rain, planting hope in the current season, ignoring the changing seasons, and hoping for a lush spring.

However, most love stories at this age have only two outcomes.

Either they experience the beauty of all four seasons, or they die during the changing seasons, burying yesterday forever.

Now the seed of a young girl's heart was sown unknowingly. Fortunately, our protagonist Ye Xiyun was not a scoundrel but a qualified LSP (Love, Sex, and Passion)!

So, this was destined to be a love story that we love to hear, sing, and weep for.

Applause!

The elders had temporarily shifted their focus from Ye Xiyun and were now paying attention to other disciples.

So, what was Ye Xiyun doing at this moment?

Of course, he was feeding the pig!

As mentioned earlier, this first-level demonic beast had intelligence, making it smarter than your average domestic pig. Currently, in its weakened state, it was naturally becoming more fond of Ye Xiyun as he fed it various low-level spirit herbs.

Especially when Ye Xiyun stuffed the "Forgetting Offspring Herb" into the wild boar's mouth, the wild boar completely ignored the fact that he had taken one of its piglets from underneath it.

So, the disdainful look you had when you wanted to kill me earlier was just an act?

Ye Xiyun looked at the piglet in his hand, and, to put it simply, young mammals were quite adorable in this world.

Ye Xiyun held the squeaking little wild boar in his hand, and Hua Zhongxian used this interaction to examine the piglet's qualifications and bloodline.

"Come on, we agreed that one 'Forgetting Offspring Herb' equals one piglet. Don't bite me," Ye Xiyun said after looking at the little piglet in his hand. He gave the piglet some herbal elixir and then placed it back with the wild boar. He then took out another piglet.

"This is the seventh one, and it's the last one," Hua Zhongxian said. "I didn't expect this wild boar to give birth to seven offspring with bloodline reversion in a single litter." She sounded a bit surprised. "How is this possible? Could it be that this wild boar ate some kind of supreme spirit herb on this mountain while pregnant, leading to this extraordinary experience?"

"Spirit Sister, don't sigh first. Tell me which of these piglets is more suitable for cultivation," Ye Xiyun asked.

"All seven will do!" After thinking for a while, Hua Zhongxian slowly said.
