A smile appeared on Mo Changxing’s handsome face. “Little junior sister is so clever!”
This really was Chuxia Mountain, the place where the Shuo Na Fruit grew!
For a moment, Yun Qingxue felt confused. Could the person before her really have been sent by the Purple Song Sage? Yet she distinctly remembered Jin Lin saying that the Purple Song Sage had never taken any disciples.
Moreover, Mo Changxing himself had said that in a thousand years, not a single person had ever survived to bring the Shuo Na Fruit to the Purple Song Sage!
“You keep insisting that you’re the Purple Song Sage’s disciple. Did you pick the Shuo Na Fruit to become his disciple?” Yun Qingxue asked.
Mo Changxing grinned, his smile dazzling. “I never came to pick this fruit. It was that old man who begged and pleaded to take me as his disciple. I pitied him and softened my heart, so I agreed.”
“At first, I thought becoming his disciple was a terrible deal. But now that he’s giving me such an adorable little junior sister, I’ll stay in the sect for your sake—at least for now.”
Yun Qingxue gazed at Mo Changxing with clear, stream-like eyes. Though the young man before her always wore a playful smile, she found him utterly inscrutable.
Countless people dreamed of becoming a disciple of the Purple Song Sage, yet this youth called him “Master” so casually while shamelessly talking about leaving the sect.
Was he telling the truth, or was it all a lie?
“Junior sister, we’re here.”
Mo Changxing landed steadily with Yun Qingxue atop Chuxia Mountain.
Yun Qingxue looked around. The first light of dawn was breaking on the horizon.
The eastern sky burned like fire, crimson as vast blossoms blooming across the heavens.
Beneath that radiant glow, atop the peak that seemed to touch the sky, a slender little tree swayed in the morning breeze, its golden leaves shimmering. Each leaf looked as if it had been forged and carved from pure gold. And nestled among those golden leaves were three strikingly bright red fruits.
“Junior sister!” Mo Changxing walked casually to the tree and turned back to beckon Yun Qingxue. “This is the Shuo Na Fruit. Come quickly.”
As he spoke, he plucked one of the fist-sized red fruits. “We’ve been traveling all night. I’m starving!”
With that, he casually wiped the fruit on his sleeve and took a big bite.
A crisp *crunch* sounded as fiery red juice seeped from the bitten part.
After taking a bite, Mo Changxing seemed to remember something. He quickly returned to Yun Qingxue’s side and held the half-eaten fruit to her lips. “Junior sister, you must be thirsty after traveling all night. This fruit is really sweet. Try it!”
Yun Qingxue stared speechlessly at the Shuo Na Fruit being offered to her.
If this really was the Shuo Na Fruit, then…
She glanced at the beautiful little tree with its golden leaves. At least there were still two left!
Otherwise, with this guy having taken a bite, would she really have to present a half-eaten fruit to become a disciple?!
“Junior sister, I tested it for you. No poison, and it’s incredibly juicy and delicious! If I’d known how good it tasted, I would’ve come to pick it long ago!”
Mo Changxing stubbornly held out the bitten fruit, looking as if he wanted another taste.
*Tested it for her?*
Yun Qingxue gave him a deadpan stare. Could he be any more shameless? He’d clearly only remembered her after taking a bite!
“Junior sister, are you disgusted?”
