btth: receive your own sucide note

  , and the others had chosen their lodgings, Chen Guan immediately led Yaoyue to Danta. He had already made plans for Yaoyue's placement.

  "I've chosen two teachers for you, both eighth-rank alchemy masters. One is Senior Martial Sister Xuanyi, one of the three great masters of Danta and an old friend of Yaochen. She still hasn't had a disciple, but I'll talk to her. There's a good chance she'll accept you as her apprentice."

  "What about the other one?"

  "The other one is younger. She's my senior sister, Cao Ying, the enchanting daughter of the Cao family. She has unparalleled alchemy talent. She may not be as accomplished as Senior Martial Sister Xuanyi right now, but she'll definitely be no less capable in the future. Most importantly, she's only a few years older than you. If you become her apprentice, it'll likely be a relationship of both mentor and friend, like Yun'er and Nalan Yanran."

  "Your senior sister? Then wouldn't I be a generation below you if I became her?"

  "Let's discuss our own matters. Let's not worry about that."

  Yaoyue nodded slightly after listening to Chen Guan's introductions, and fell silent, carefully considering which one to choose.

  Both Xuan Yi and Cao Ying were figures countless alchemists dreamed of, their status soaring immensely if they could become their disciples.

  For Yaoyue, this was a huge surprise, and the choice was inevitably a bit fraught.

  Chen Guan didn't interrupt. After two bouts of soul-forming dust, Yaoyue's mental strength was now quite good, not far from entering the spiritual realm. Her alchemy talent, if not top-tier, was at least excellent. While social connections were involved,

  introducing her to Xuan Yi or Cao Ying wasn't forced.

  The journey was silent, entangled in the joyful choice, leaving Yaoyue unable to marvel at the grandeur of Shengdan City. By the time she had made her decision, they were already standing beneath the Dan Tower.

  "Have you made up your mind?"

  Chen Guan asked with a chuckle, noticing her expression.

  Yaoyue nodded heavily, her eyes filled with anticipation.

  "I want to meet Teacher Cao Ying. Back in the northwest, I envied the relationship between Nalan Yanran and Sect Master Yun."

  Simply put, they were both young, and it was easier for them to get along.

  Moreover, in the long run, Cao Ying's future was undoubtedly no less promising than Xuan Yi's.

  Chen Guan smiled faintly, unsurprised by this choice. He would likely have done the same.

  "Okay, follow me. I'll let you in later, come back later."

  ...

  A quiet courtyard—this was Cao Ying's current simple residence within the Dan Tower. As if influenced by him, Cao Ying's pursuit of simplicity and elegance grew. As

  night gradually fell over the earth, Chen Guan could sense the scorching heat within the courtyard. If nothing unexpected happened, Cao Ying was probably refining an elixir.

  This fitted in with Chen Guan's understanding of this senior sister: either refining an elixir or on her way to one.

  Just as he was debating whether to meet Xuan Kongzi first and then return after Cao Ying finished, a slight "puff" sound suddenly emanated from within the courtyard. Based on Chen Guan's experience refining herbs, this likely sounded like the destruction of a failed medicinal ingredient.

  It's just that such a low-level mistake shouldn't have happened to Cao Ying...

  While Chen Guan was silent, Cao Ying's graceful figure had appeared in the courtyard. After not seeing her for several months, she was still as charming and graceful as ever. The ripples of smile on her beautiful face made her extremely charming, and she didn't seem to be affected by such a small mistake at all.

  "I almost thought I was sensing it wrong, but I didn't expect it to be my junior brother who came back. Seeing you smiling, I think your trip back to the northwest was generally good?"

  Inviting Chen Guan to sit down at the stone table, Cao Ying said casually. Judging from her appearance, she probably didn't know that he had just been ambush by the Soul Palace.

  Chen Guan followed her topic and nodded slightly.

  "Some unexpected gains."

  "Oh? For example?"

  "For example, I accepted two disciples. They are quite talented and should be able to stand on their own in the future."

  "Hmm, Junior Brother, have you already started looking for a successor at such a young age?"

  "Um, it's not about alchemy. They don't have the talent for it. I came here tonight to ask if Senior Sister has any thoughts of taking on a disciple recently,"

  Chen Guan explained briefly, then got straight to the point.

  They weren't strangers to each other; a few casual pleasantries would suffice. Too much attention would only make things seem awkward.

  Upon hearing this, Cao Ying immediately glanced over, her smile becoming somewhat intriguing.

  "I was just saying, Junior Brother, you rarely come to my place. So you're planning to send me someone? Now that Junior Brother has spoken, I have to have some ideas, even if I don't have any."

  "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I'll introduce you to someone who's incredibly talented in alchemy. She's only slightly behind you and me. Furthermore, she has a powerful soul perception. Even though she's not yet an adult, she already has a soul strength approaching the spiritual realm. She's definitely a promising prospect. If you don't plan on taking on more disciples in the future, she'll definitely become your most prized disciple. Even if you do take on one or two more, she'll definitely be in the top three!"

  Chen Guan sneered in response, his words growing more confident.

  Cao Ying was dumbfounded by his expression. "

  Junior Brother, do you want to hear what you're saying?"

  It was a bit amusing, but Cao Ying understood. The person must have a close relationship with Chen Guan, otherwise she wouldn't have been so eager to introduce him.

  "Okay, we're just in need of a helper. Junior Brother, have her come over and I'll see what happens. But I can't guarantee it will go as you wish."

  Cao Ying nodded and smiled, not really concerned about the situation.

  Besides, she'd been a little curious after hearing Chen Guan's boasts.

  As long as the talent was there, she wouldn't mind helping out.

  Knowing her personality well, Chen Guan knew halfway through the matter was already done.

  With a slight smile, he immediately sent a message to Yaoyue, who was waiting outside, to come in.

  "Her name is Yaoyue. She's considered my...sister. From now on, I'll have to trouble you with your care. If she makes any mistakes of principle, just tell me directly and I'll send her back to the northwest."

  Chen Guan introduced Yaoyue as he watched her enter, his expression growing more serious.

  Playfulness and joking aside, but matters of principle must not be made; that much must be made clear.

  However, given Yaoyue's personality, he probably didn't need to worry about her.

  Cao Ying nodded slightly, her gaze sizing up Yaoyue as she entered.

  "Sister? Then won't we be..."

  "Well, let's just talk about our own things. Senior sister can test her alone to see if she is interested. Don't make too much of a compromise because of our relationship."

  Seeing Cao Ying nod, Chen Guan didn't stay any longer. He immediately stood up and prepared to leave to give them enough space.

  When his figure intertwined with Yaoyue's, he could feel that the little girl was still quite nervous. Her hands were clenched into fists under her sleeves, her whole body was tense, and her walking was not very natural.

  Chen Guan didn't say much, just gave an encouraging look.

  He could only do so much. Yaoyue's future still had to be controlled by Yaoyue herself. It was always more convenient to follow Cao Ying than to learn from him.

  After leaving Cao Ying's courtyard, Chen Guan went straight to Xuankongzi's study.

  Yaoyue was being tested, and his own test was not simple either.

  Xiao Danta...
