Chapter 723 Zhou Yu And The Disciples
Wu Qingcheng flew around the Greencloud Forest to look for the four disciples, but she couldn't find their traces or presences in the forest. "Could it be that they are dead now? That's impossible; their life stones are still intact and shining, so they should still be alive."
"Are you worried about them?"
Wu Qingcheng abruptly looked back after she heard the voice, and she immediately flew away from the owner of the voice. 'This woman's cultivation is at High Saint God Realm! Could it be that she is the cultivator who used the vermilion bird manifestation?'
"Why are you so afraid of me?"
She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and cupped her hands towards the woman. "Forgive me if I have disturbed you, Senior. I am Wu Qingcheng from the Heaven Secrets Sect, and I'm looking for the four young disciples of my sect."
"I know you, and we've met several times in the past, but you might not recognize me by my current appearance." Wu Qingcheng looked at the woman in surprise and wanted to ask her, but she interrupted her. "I won't tell you about my other identity, and the current me is Zhou Yu. Those disciples are under my protection now, so you don't need to worry about them."
"Is that true, Senior? Are they really fine?"
"I don't need to lie to you." Zhou Yu then pointed toward the distance. "They're resting there, but one of the girls suffered injuries to her bones, and the other only had minor injuries. As for the two boys, they didn't suffer any injuries."
"In that case, let me take them back to our sect, Senior."
However, Zhou Yu rejected Wu Qingcheng's request. "I need them for something, so I won't let you bring them back for now."
"But-"
"As I said before, they are under my protection now." Zhou Yu interrupted Wu Qingcheng again. "You can go back now before I get angry, and I will send them back to your sect in three days."
After she disappeared from her sight, Wu Qingcheng let out a heavy sigh as she looked towards the heart of the forest, and she left the forest full of questions, especially about Zhou Yu's other identity. 'Who exactly is her other identity?'
When she returned to his side, Zhou Yu smiled sweetly looking at Ling Yun, who was already asleep, leaning against the tree. She sat on his lap again and kissed his lips briefly, and she laid her head on his shoulder directly. 'You are the first man who made me feel such a feeling, so I will do everything I can to protect you, and I will also help you to become even stronger.'

Early in the morning, Ling Yun smiled when he saw Zhou Yu on his lap and kissed her on the lips, which she immediately reciprocated, and they kissed for some time.
"Mhn~"
Suddenly, they heard the moans of the two female disciples, so they immediately stopped their kiss, and Zhou Yu approached the two girls. "Did you guys sleep well?"
"En." Qiao Lingzhi nodded and sat down directly, but she felt uncomfortable about her body. "Senior, is there a river near this place? I want to clean my body first."
"Me too." Nangong Nichang also said to her. "But I can't move now."
"It's okay." Zhou Yu replied with an understanding nod and enveloped them with her aura. "Let's go. I will take you two to a nearby river, and Lingzhi will help you cleanse your bodies."
After the three of them disappeared, Ling Yun wondered to himself in confusion. "Why didn't I get a new quest today? Could it be because I completed the previous quest earlier than the time limit?"
Ling Yun then turned to look at the two male disciples, but he could only shake his head because they were still asleep like dead pigs, and he went elsewhere to warm up. Even though he didn't get any quests, he didn't want to slack off, especially since there were strong enemies coming for him soon.
.

Sometime later, the two male disciples were shocked after they opened their eyes, and they panicked because they couldn't find Nangong Nichang and Qiao Lingzhu, plus Ling Yun and Zhou Yu had also disappeared.
"Where did they go, Guan Peng?" Dongfang Xu asked frantically. "Could it be that they kidnapped Nichang and Lingzhi while we were asleep?"
Guan Peng frowned and tried to contact the two women, but they did not answer his calls. "This is really bad! We have to look for them right now."
However, Zhou Yu suddenly appeared in front of them as she smiled in amusement. "I really like the characters of the two of you, and you two are really loyal friends."
"Senior, we joined the sect since childhood, and we have always lived and trained together since then, so our relationships are like siblings." Zhou Yu nodded in understanding, and Guan Peng asked her. "So where are they now, Senior?"
Zhou Yu pointed far away. "They felt uncomfortable with their bodies, so I took them to the river on the outside of the forest, and I had set up protection for them, and no one would be able to hurt them."
The two male disciples let out a sigh of relief after hearing that, and Dongfang Xu asked her. "Where is your husband, Senior? Why isn't he here?"
'They really think Ling Yun is my husband, huh?' Zhou Yu inwardly muttered before telling them. "Unlike you two lazy boys, my husband has been up and training since earlier, and he is currently fighting with the beasts in the King Realm in another area of this forest."
The two men smiled bitterly at her words, but they also admitted that they were indeed lazier than Ling Yun, and they even often woke up late to train. "Anyway, how can you two be so strong, Senior? Based on the looks of the two of you, our ages shouldn't be too different, right?"
"Haha." Zhou Yu laughed at Dongfang Xu's words. "Hey, kid! My husband is indeed your age, but I'm much older than that little boy, Ye Zhong."
"Huh?" They stared at Zhou Yu with dropped jaws, and this was the first time they heard someone call their master a little boy.
"Do you know our master, Senior?" Guan Peng asked with a look of disbelief, especially since Zhou Yu still looked so young.
"Not only your master, but I also know Wu Qingcheng and the others, including your Sect Master, Ruan Shaojie." Zhou Yu answered with a mysterious smile, causing the two men to become even more curious. "All right, you should clean yourselves, and you can continue your tasks again."
Although they still had many questions in their minds about Zhou Yu, Guan Peng and Dongfang Xu immediately followed his words, and they looked for another place to clean themselves.
.

After a while, they had gathered at that place again, and Guan Peng said to Nangong Nichang. "Since your injury is quite serious, you should rest here, and the three of us will go to complete the task from our master."
"But-"
"You don't need to be like this, Nichang." Dongfang Xu interrupted his sect sister. "I know you want to join us, but there's no way you can do it with your injuries. Beside, we're a team, so don't be stubborn and leave everything to us, okay?"
"Xu is right, Nichang." Qiao Lingzhi said to her. "For now, you should rest to recover from your injuries, and we will take you back to our sect once we complete the task."
Nangong Nichang sighed softly and nodded to them. "All right, I will wait for you in this place, but you guys have to be careful, so we can go back to the sect together."
"I will." The three answered in unison, and they immediately left Nangong Nichang with Zhou Yu.
Nangong Nichang then asked her. "Why are you two staying in this forest, Senior?"
"Hmm?" Zhou Yu turned to her. "My husband is waiting for his equipment order, and everything will only be finished in two days, so he decided to train in this forest for the time being."
"Equipment? Did he order them from the blacksmiths in Tian City?"
"Yes." Zhou Yu replied with a nod. "My husband needs some heavy equipment, and only they can help him make them."
"I see." Nangong Nichang then spoke to her again. "I think your husband is still my age, but his cultivation is definitely above mine. Besides, you are also very young, but I can feel that you are much stronger than him."
"Yes, I am indeed much stronger than him." Zhou Yu then smiled at her. "Anyway, he is still twenty years old now, and his cultivation is at Middle King Realm."
"Eh?" Nangong Nichang was really surprised to hear that. "Is he really only twenty years old, Senior?"
"Hehe." Zhou Yu giggled and nodded at her. "I didn't lie to you, and he really is still twenty now."
"He's just amazing." Nangong Nichang mumbled with a soft sigh. "I have cultivated for so long, but my cultivation is still at the Peak Soul Realm, and I still haven't touched the boundary of the King Realm, so I don't know when I can break through to that realm."
Zhou Yu shook her head at that. "You don't need to be disappointed with yourself because everyone's cultivation speed is different, and my husband is also different from other cultivators."
