The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1278: Chapter 380: Yu Yan, She Has Always Been Following You

"Yu Yan? Do you know her?" Zhou asked, looking at Lu Yaoyao with confusion.

Lu Yaoyao immediately shook her head like a bobbling drum.

Zhou squinted his eyes slightly. "If you don’t tell the truth, don’t think about coming out with me next time."

Lu Yaoyao lowered her head, hesitating for a moment.

Suddenly, she raised her head. The eyes that always seemed to smile now bore a hint of determination. "Zhou, if I tell you, will you... think I’m crazy?"

Zhou raised an eyebrow slightly. "Why would you say that?"

Lu Yaoyao gently bit her lower lip, her gaze involuntarily drifting toward that white-clad figure.

Her voice suddenly turned ethereal. "I had a very long, long dream... In the dream, there was you, there was me... and also her."

A flicker of surprise crossed Zhou’s face.

"She was always so quiet," Lu Yaoyao’s voice gradually grew somber, "like a shadow silently following you. No matter how you chased her away, she would just quietly stand not far from you."

When she got to this part, Lu Yaoyao’s voice trembled slightly. "Until that day... she led away three Demon Emperors by herself... When we found her, there were only a few pieces of blood-stained cloth left."

Zhou looked at her red-rimmed eyes, lovingly tousling the top of her head. "You silly girl, even your dreams are so ominous."

"I also want to have sweet dreams!" Lu Yaoyao wilfully wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, her nose turning red from crying. "But... but..."

"Alright," Zhou softened his tone, "it’s just a dream, don’t overthink it."

But Lu Yaoyao stubbornly shook her head. "She really was a wonderful person... Although I don’t know how you met her in the dream, she was like a gentle big sister, always taking meticulous care of me."

Unable to laugh or cry, Zhou glanced again at the distant moon-white figure, then looked back at Lu Yaoyao’s reddened eyes.

With a light sigh, he said, "Perhaps you’re just too tired lately. We will soon be back at the Taiqing Sect. You can take a good rest then, okay?"

Before he could finish, Lu Yaoyao suddenly exclaimed, "Zhou, wait for me here!"

After speaking, she dashed off toward the woman at high speed.

Instinctively, Zhou reached out to stop her, but ultimately he just let his arm drop helplessly and quickly followed, cautiously observing the other woman.

When Lu Yaoyao finally stopped, panting in front of the girl, she met the girl’s profile up close. A flood of memories surged in her heart.

Tears poured uncontrollably from her eyes.

The girl, sensing something, put down the lotus lantern she held and turned around with a slight frown.

Bathed in moonlight, her beautiful face showed a trace of confusion. "What’s wrong with you?"

This familiar voice instantly turned Lu Yaoyao’s tears into laughter. She wiped her tears haphazardly. "N-nothing! I just think Sister is really beautiful!"

The girl was visibly startled. Before she could speak, the lantern vendor beside them interjected. "Both of you Immortals are as beautiful as celestial beings. How about picking a few more lanterns? My lanterns are definitely value for money..."

"Thank you." The girl politely suppressed the shopkeeper’s sales pitch with a nod to Lu Yaoyao. "Enjoy your time."

After that, she turned and moved on.

Lu Yaoyao opened her mouth, but in the end did not call out to her.

Watching her back, she murmured to herself, "She’s so much better now than she was then..."

Zhou slowly approached, standing by Lu Yaoyao’s side, gazing at that gradually disappearing moon-white silhouette, he smiled. "Is she the one in your dream?"

Lu Yaoyao pouted. "Exactly, Zhou. Why don’t we make a bet?"

"Oh?" Zhou raised an eyebrow, looking at her with interest. "Bet on what?"

"Let’s bet..." Lu Yaoyao pointed at the departing figure. "That we will meet her again!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou couldn’t help but smile indulgently.

"Alright, it’s a bet!"
