The other disciple gestured with his hands and revealed an admiring expression.

“Wow… that’s an eyeful. As expected of the most legendary woman in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. I’m even willing to dig up my ancestral grave if I can marry a fairy like Senior Sister Ming Yue.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the person beside him was shocked and smashed his club over.

“What nonsense are you spouting? Do you want to die? You even dare to have crooked thoughts about Senior Sister Ming Yue.”

That person was also shocked. He hurriedly shut his mouth and did not dare to think further. After all, her status could only be looked up to.

After calming down, the two of them suddenly began to wonder.

“Strange, why is there a man following behind Senior Sister Ming Yue? Who is that person? Didn’t they say that men and dogs will die within ten meters of Senior Sister Ming Yue?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen this person before.”

The two of them were instantly puzzled. Ming Yue’s ferocious reputation was not exaggerated. Her personality belonged to the especially cold type. What she hated the most in her life was dogs.

Therefore, this famous saying was born. Of course, the word “men” was added by others. No one dared to approach because Ming Yue was too cold. Thus, such a rumor gradually appeared.

This meant that Ming Yue did not like men and they would die if they dared to approach. This was also the reason why no man dared to pursue her even though she was clearly the number one beauty in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands all these years. As for those dogs, they fled when they heard this name a hundred miles away.

Coincidentally, their conversation fell into Ye Qiu’s ears. Ming Yue seemed to have heard it too! Her footsteps became chaotic and she was a little angry.

Ye Qiu seemed to have heard a huge gossip and immediately became curious.

“Men and dogs?” Ye Qiu pondered as he looked at Ming Yue’s back. Could it be that she had been injured by a man before? Was that why she hated him so much? The more he thought about it, the more curious Ye Qiu’s expression became.

Ming Yue’s mouth twitched as if she sensed something. Sometimes, she really didn’t want to explain. However, looking at Ye Qiu’s expression, she felt that he would think in a bad direction.

After a moment of hesitation, she said, “When I was young, I was almost bitten by a dog, so I hate dogs.”

Speaking of her dark history, Ming Yue’s tone became extremely cold. She was clearly very unhappy. She could imagine how much that dog had traumatized her back then.

“Oh… I see.”

Ye Qiu suddenly understood after hearing her explanation.

So that was how it was. It turned out that Ming Yue’s family was destroyed because of chaos back then. She began to wander at a young age. Her fate was also bitter. She was a little similar to Lin Qingzhu, but she was much more bitter than Lin Qingzhu.

At the very least, Lin Qingzhu did not experience that kind of life and death struggle. She crawled around in the dangerous wilderness and escaped the attacks of ferocious beasts.

Ming Yue had experienced all of this. She had experienced all the pain that Lin Qingzhu had experienced. As a result, she had a cold personality and hid all her innocence in her heart. Back then, when she was wandering, she was almost bitten to death by a dog. Fortunately, she was lucky and happened to meet Meng Tianzheng, who was passing by, and saved her.

From then on, her life trajectory changed and she began her legend.

“Hmm, it looks like you have an unknown story too.” Ye Qiu said gently, his tone carrying a little comfort.

This matter was like a wound in Ming Yue’s heart that she was unwilling to mention. She only said coldly, “I didn’t.”

Ye Qiu shrugged and didn’t continue talking about this problem. Then, he asked curiously, “Then about the men…”

Ye Qiu suddenly panicked. If the rumors were true, shouldn’t he stay away from Ming Yue? After all, his life was more important, and beauties were secondary.

Hearing this, Ming Yue almost wanted to roll her eyes. She didn’t know why those people were so talkative. They only knew how to talk and spread rumors about her every day.

Ming Yue didn’t want to explain, but if she didn’t explain, it seemed like he would really think that way.

“I never said anything like that. They spread it around. It has nothing to do with me.”

Even though she didn’t want to explain many times, for some reason, when Ye Qiu asked this question, she had a feeling that she had to explain something. She secretly touched her chest, and her heart raced. It was as if her inner world had irreconcilable karma with this man.

After hearing her explanation, Ye Qiu immediately understood.

“Oh, I understand…”

He was speechless!

In this day and age, rumors were really scary. A great beauty was mistaken for not liking men just because she was a little cold. Indeed, people could not eat too much. They tried their best to destroy what they could not obtain.

Of course, this essentially had no effect on Ming Yue. It was even beneficial.

This was because she did not like these troublesome matters to begin with. She only focused on the Immortal Dao and did not have anyone disturbing her. Instead, she could place more of her attention on cultivation.

“Senior Sister.”

Ye Qiu was still thinking when a voice interrupted his thoughts.

On the path beside the pool, a young man in purple stood there, seemingly watching the fish. Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw that it was Ming Yue. He immediately greeted her.

However, after greeting him, the young man’s expression immediately changed and darkened because he saw the last person he wanted to see.

“It’s you!”

This person was none other than Xiao Yan who went to the lower realm.

“Haha… What a coincidence. I didn’t expect Senior Brother Xiao to be in such a good mood. I wonder if you’ve comprehended anything by watching the fish here?”

Ye Qiu laughed and walked forward, teasing. Wasn’t this an old enemy meeting on a narrow road?

“Hmph!” Xiao Yan snorted coldly. Clearly, he had yet to let go of the previous matter. “I didn’t expect you to really successfully ascend. However, that’s all! Your talent and aptitude might be unique in the lower realm.

“But don’t be happy too early. The world you’re in is still too small. You have to know that there’s always someone better. In this world, there are countless people who are better than you. Therefore, I still have to advise you to keep a low profile. Be careful not to get into trouble. No one can protect you then.”

Xiao Yan wanted to give Ye Qiu a warning.

But Ye Qiu didn’t take it to heart. He thought that what he said was nonsense. Yet, he didn’t intend to correct him. Instead, he echoed. Then, he said, “Yes, Senior Brother Xiao is right. In the future, I still have many things to ask you.”

Xiao Yan was stunned when he saw Ye Qiu’s attitude. He couldn’t figure out what this kid was up to. With his personality, shouldn’t he refute him right away and say some harsh words to prove himself? Not playing by the rules? Or had he already seen those true geniuses and was afraid?
