"I beseech the Grandmaster's guidance!"

Shen Yajun's entire body trembled. Ever since her breakthrough became difficult, she had harbored suspicions. As time went on, she had even come to accept this notion herself. She had to accept it; there was nothing she could do to solve it.

But deep down, she was still unwilling to give up, because no cultivator did not thirst for progress.

Furthermore, the Grandmaster was the only one who had seen the problem with her. This suddenly gave her a surge of anticipation.

She herself didn't realize how fervent her gaze was.

Yao Yao shook her head and said, "Pretty Sister, others can't help with your problem. If you want to solve it, it depends on whether you yourself are willing to let go."

She wasn't clear on the taboos of the Xuanzhen Temple's cultivation method, but under her ocular arts, she could see the two conflicting masses of spiritual energy within the latter's body.

They were pulling against each other, unable to merge.

Although this made the other party's spiritual energy foundation several times stronger than those of the same rank, it was also the biggest problem.

For a Mystic Master to enter the fourth order, they needed to open up twelve main meridians, condensing their spiritual energy like a dragon to break through the Qihai Dantian.

And this sister protecting Mama, her spiritual energy was mixed and impure, making condensation the greatest obstacle.

This was also the reason why she had been unable to advance to the fourth order.

Or rather, if this fundamental problem wasn't resolved, she would have no hope of breaking through in this lifetime.

"I am willing! Please, Grandmaster, tell me what to do!" Shen Yajun nodded repeatedly, her tone anxious.

Perhaps a few years ago, she would have been stubborn and refused to admit defeat.

But after years of enduring the torment of difficult breakthroughs, she could now face reality. Even if her cultivation regressed, she would accept it. After all, it was better than being stuck for a lifetime.

"Sister, since you're willing, then after the party tonight, Sister, you can come find me!" Yao Yao said seriously.

The reason she didn't agree immediately was that dispelling the spiritual energy in the meridians was a troublesome matter.

Not only did it require patience and meticulousness, but it also necessitated setting up an array to stabilize the meridians. If she started now, she wouldn't have enough time.

"There's no rush! Thank you, Grandmaster, thank you so much!"

After hearing this, Shen Yajun was not at all displeased. On the contrary, seeing that the Grandmaster was willing to help, she couldn't hide her smile.

She hadn't expected to actually get a chance to start over. This good fortune had come too suddenly.

For a moment, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. At the same time, she was very glad that she had striven to come to the Gu family back then.

Yao Yao didn't pay too much attention to the other party's fluctuating emotions. She nestled in her chair, happily eating her candy.

The reason she was willing to help was also out of consideration for the latter protecting her mother.

Because the stronger the other party was, the safer her mother would be, and she could be more at ease in the future.

Yao Yao wouldn't be stingy about expending a little effort to help the young sister with her cultivation.

......

The car drove smoothly and steadily. The journey wasn't far, and they arrived at their destination shortly.

The destination was a high-end clubhouse. The interior decoration was magnificent. To achieve this in the imperial capital, where every inch of land was precious, spoke volumes about its class.

Led by her mother, Yao Yao was guided by a waiter through the VIP passage and smoothly entered a private room.

As soon as they entered, pairs of eyes in the room immediately looked over. Among them, a woman about the same age as her mother, with a warm expression, stepped forward to greet them first.

"Little Hui, we were just talking about you! Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Come, sit down quickly!"

"It's almost time. We sisters haven't gathered for quite a few days. We must have a good chat today."

"Thank you, Sister Qiu." Chen Hui smiled and nodded.

She didn't refuse. Although everyone who came today was an acquaintance, and some were good friends, people were very realistic.

No matter how good friends were, in such formal occasions, there was still a distinction between primary and secondary.

And the basis for this distinction was very real: it depended on the husband's status in the capital's social circle.

A wife's status depends on her husband's nobility. Although this concept was old and feudal, it was still used in various places. The only difference was that it wasn't so blatant.

As the wealthiest family in the capital, the Gu family was, so to speak, the unparalleled leader in the entire private room. Chen Hui was the focus wherever she went.

"Yao Yao, come sit next to Mama, and greet all the aunties." After smoothly taking the main seat, Chen Hui didn't forget her daughter.

After all, she hadn't forgotten the most important reason she had come today: to show off her daughter.

"Mmm-hmm!" Yao Yao nodded obediently upon hearing this, then said to everyone in a sweet, childish voice, "Good evening, Aunties!"

"Good evening!" Seeing this soft, milky little child, everyone present smiled, their enthusiasm overflowing.

These women were all sharper than foxes; naturally, they wouldn't fail to notice that the little girl Chen Hui had led in had remained silent, waiting for someone to take the initiative!

After all, when it came to introducing one's daughter, they could play a supporting role, but they couldn't steal the limelight.

And now that Chen Hui had spoken, they naturally became enthusiastic: "This must be Yao Yao, right? She's truly beautiful."

"Last time at the Gu family banquet, I was too far away to see clearly. Today, I finally got a good look. Sister Chen is truly blessed to have such a wonderful daughter."

The one speaking was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family in the capital. She was six or seven years younger than Chen Hui and was dressed very opulently.

Because the Wang family was currently collaborating with the Gu family, as a Wang family daughter-in-law, she had to give face to the Gu family's matriarch at such gatherings.

And her words were quite sincere. Apart from her unclear origins, the Gu family's newly adopted daughter was impeccable in both appearance and demeanor.

You had to know that many of those present had brought their own daughters and children, all meticulously dressed, but they still couldn't compare to the Gu family's daughter.

This wasn't just a difference in appearance, but more so in temperament.

They didn't know that Yao Yao had entered the eighth order, her body having been refined by two heavenly thunder tribulations, reaching a state of being untainted by dust.

In this state, "autumn water for spirit, jade for bones" was the most appropriate description.

Mortal beings were tainted by turbid qi, and their appearance would more or less have shortcomings and crudities.

Some things might not be so obvious when viewed alone, but they would be infinitely magnified upon comparison. They looked at Yao Yao, then at their own children, and suddenly had an illusion of feeling ashamed of their own inadequacy.

"This is also a fate given by heaven." Chen Hui smiled upon hearing their compliments.

She didn't care if these people were sincere or flattering; ultimately, these words of praise made her feel comfortable, and that was enough.

"Yao Yao, is there anything you want to eat? Mama will get it for you!" Chen Hui was too happy to sit still and turned to ask her daughter.

They had come to this clubhouse for gatherings several times, and the taste of the dishes was quite good. Chen Hui compared them and found that many were her daughter's favorites.

However, when she turned her head, she saw that her daughter, who usually loved food, was not looking at the dining table at this moment.

Chen Hui couldn't help but become curious. She followed her daughter's gaze and found that she was looking at a little boy. This was the child from the Gong family's second branch!

She had become friends with the boy's mother, Qin Mi, because she had gone to a temple to pray for a peace talisman for Weiwei, and Qin Mi happened to be there for the same reason; her child's health wasn't good either.

With their children in similar situations, the two quickly found many topics to discuss and even exchanged a lot of child-rearing experiences. Over time, they became good friends.

It wasn't until Yao Yao came to the Gu family and cured Weiwei that Chen Hui realized she and Qin Mi had fewer topics to discuss.

If it weren't for meeting at this gathering, they probably wouldn't have much interaction for a short while.

While her daughter was looking at the boy, the Gong family's little boy was also curiously looking at her daughter. The two of them remained silent in tacit understanding.

This scene made the boy's mother, sitting beside him, chuckle.

Qin Mi reached out and ruffled her son's hair, saying, "Little Hui, it's not polite to stare at your little sister like that!"

"Oh!" The boy had a rather introverted personality. He obediently responded and then lowered his head to his chest.

His skin was very pale, almost devoid of blood. Coupled with his poor health, the exposed half of his neck revealed a series of gaunt bones.

"Sister Hui, I'm sorry. This child is shy and not very talkative." Seeing her son's actions, Qin Mi couldn't help but show a troubled expression.

She knew her son's personality: introverted and withdrawn.

This was after she had been taking him out from time to time for practice. If he were left at home by himself, his condition would probably be even worse.

"Children don't fuss over such things. Sister Qin, don't be so formal." Chen Hui waved her hand, not seeming to mind much.

For her, deep down, she actually wanted her daughter to interact more with peers. After all, her daughter was not yet four years old. Hanging out with Old Seventh and the others all day was somewhat inappropriate.

It was just that Yao Yao had high standards. Of the two younger ones in the family, one only knew how to cultivate, like an ascetic monk.

Her own grandmother hardly saw him a few times a month, let alone playing with her daughter.

As for Old Third's child, he was quite proactive, always chasing after her daughter. Perhaps because he always asked unreliable questions, her daughter had been somewhat dismissive of him lately.

So, today was the first time Chen Hui had seen her daughter look so intently at a peer, and she, too, became interested.

Looking down and seeing her daughter hadn't averted her gaze, she couldn't help but smile and ask, "Do you want to play with your little brother? Then go ahead!"

This clubhouse had an amusement room right next to it. The toys and items inside were even more complete than those in an amusement park, perfect for children to play.

The room they booked was also because of the amusement room, which could provide a place for children to play.

"Mama, I don't want to play with Little Brother!" Hearing her mother's words, Yao Yao also withdrew her gaze. Under her mother's watch, she slowly shook her head.

"You don't want to play with Little Brother? Then why were you looking at him all this time?" Hearing her daughter say this, it was Chen Hui's turn to be stunned.

Could it be that I misunderstood? But my daughter's gaze clearly showed interest!

Not only her, but the room was also quite quiet at this moment. Everyone had witnessed the entire process.

Now, they couldn't figure out, if the Gu family's daughter's previous gaze wasn't interest, what else could it be?

Seeing Chen Hui ask, they pricked up their ears to listen. But what the Gu family's daughter said next made their faces change drastically.

Yao Yao was heard saying in a crisp voice, "But I wasn't looking at Little Brother, I was looking at the little doll on his back!"

At this moment, though it was a tender, childish voice, and it was broad daylight, everyone present suddenly had a chilling, hair-raising premonition.
