Listening to their conversation, Tang Xiaotang asked in confusion with her eyes opening widely, ”But I always covered my face with a fox tail, so how can they recognize me?”

Looking at her new student, Yu Lian said slowly, ”Everyone has their own unique trace, especially for cultivators. You can consider it as a scent.”

Ning Que did not join in the discussion. Instead, he just silently sat inside the cliff cave and looked very calm. However, his heart became very unstable due to his Senior Sister's previous words.

When he was an ordinary student of the Academy, he once encountered Yu Lian in the Sword Forest. She indirectly expressed disapproval when she knew he wanted to enter the Second floor of the Academy. Besides, she also said that if he could give up entering the Second floor, she would introduce him to a mighty figure, who was not weaker than Liu Bai.

Liu Bai, the Sword Sage, was recognized as the strongest human in the world, but Yu Lian was living in the Academy and far away from the outside world all year round. How could she know a mighty figure as powerful as Liu Bai? Ning Que clearly remembered his shock after hearing her words at that time, and also remembered her sigh of pity when he insisted on his original thought.

Yu Lian's words today sounded as usual, but they were full of confidence and pride. It meant that since Tang Xiaotang became her student now, it would be nonsense if Tang Xiaotang couldn't beat or even kill the Tao Addict Ye Hongyu in the future.

Her expression was still peaceful, but it wasn't a kind of deliberate pride and arrogance. It was based on an instinctive self judgment, so she just casually uttered the words.

It was this kind of casual and ordinary demeanor that made her look more mysterious and unfathomable.

Recalling their conversation in the Sword Forest, Ning Que's thought couldn't help becoming a little confused. Everyone in the back of the mountain knew that Third Senior Sister was just at the upper level of Seethrough State, so where did her peaceful confidence come from?

After a short thought, Ning Que concluded that it was due to the common temperament that all students in the back of the mountain shared. Third Senior Sister was only lower than Eldest Brother and Second Brother in seniority rank, so she, of course, was qualified to be confident.

He said earnestly, ”Senior Sister is the first one to accept a student among all peers in the back of the mountain. Congratulations!”

Yu Lian said, ”It's all our teacher's arrangements.”

She looked back at Tang Xiaotang and said calmly, ”Come and salute your uncle.”

Tang Xiaotang walked towards the cliff cave and stood a little away from it. She stopped smiling, then carefully and seriously saluted Ning Que, ”Youngest Uncle.”

Ning Que noticed that her worn fur coat had been replaced with a new Academy uniform, and her pair of old leather boots also had been substituted with a pair of small green cotton shoes. Now, she looked very tidy and pert.

Ning Que was looking at her. When suddenly hearing the words ”Youngest Uncle”, his mood somehow became very comfortable. In a second he realized where this kind of relaxed mood came from.

First, he need not worry that he might have a junior sister. Besides, he was one generation higher than Tang Xiaotang. Did it mean that the Wayfarer of the Devil's Doctrine should also show some respect to him?

Above all, 'Youngest Uncle' was a very special and meaningful title in the Academy.

Once, there was a Youngest Uncle in the back of the mountain of the Academy. He was the most amazing and powerful figure in the world, a legend extremely admired and missed by Second Brother all the time.

Now, Ning Que was referred as Youngest Uncle by the next generation of disciples.

In each generation, there was only one little Younger Brother, so naturally there was just one Youngest Uncle. He felt very proud and beamed upon thinking that there would be more and more people saluting and calling him Youngest Uncle in the future.

After greeting Ning Que, Tang Xiaotang straightened up. She found that his expression kept changing and he was intoxicated with self-satisfaction, but she certainly did not know what he was thinking of now.

They got to know each other in the Wilderness and then met again in Chang'an. In the Academy, Ning Que was the most familiar person to her. In addition, their ages were close, so it was hard for her to sincerely treat him as an elder. She tilted her head and looked at him. Suddenly, she couldn't help giggling as she found his current expression very comical.

Ning Que looked at her and said, ”Call me Youngest Uncle two more times.”

Tang Xiaotang, of course, did not want to call him Youngest Uncle. In her eyes, how would Ning Que, who was weak and very shameless, be qualified to be her elder?

Previously, she controlled her temper and politely called him Youngest Uncle. That was because her teacher ordered her to do so and it was necessary to meet all people in the back of the mountain before entering the Second Floor of the Academy.

”Quickly.”

Without noticing her changing expression, Ning Que happily said, ”I enjoy being called Youngest Uncle the most.”

”I'm the only disciple of the third generation of the Academy.”

Tang Xiaotang gritted her teeth and said, ”Is there anyone else?”

Ning Que said, ”So in the future, you should come here to visit me and call me Youngest Uncle from time to time.”

Tang Xiaotang angrily said, ”I won't come here to play with you in the future if you keep acting like this.”

Ning Que proudly said, ”You have to follow my orders because my seniority is higher than yours.”
