Lin Ya didn't take this matter to heart at all, only treating it as humoring a few children's nonsense.
He didn't know that because of the Heaven Mending Pill incident earlier, Yue Zhao and the others actually truly believed in Yun Jin.
Before Little Junior Sister actually accomplished all those things she said she wanted to do, how many people believed her?
As a result?
Didn't she accomplish them one by one?
Three months ago.
Heavenly Sword Peak had been suppressed so badly that they couldn't even lift their heads.
Lin Ya was severely injured and could only be in long-term seclusion.
Yue Zhao was barely holding on. Si Wanning and Yu Songnian could only conceal their strength.
In such a situation, originally there wouldn't have been any change at all.
No matter how many things Yue Zhao had done over the years, in the face of absolute strength, it's mostly all in vain.
That Grand Sect Tournament was originally supposed to be their death date.
But now.
Master's healed, and his cultivation even rose to another level.
They were all still alive, and even lived quite well.
On the contrary.
The one who died was Ruan Jun, and Zhao Wuji's position as Sect Leader was now on the verge of collapse.
All these changes were brought about by Yun Jin.
Moreover, she only spent a mere three months to achieve all these things.
If she could accomplish this much in three months, then what about ten years?
With Little Junior Sister's talent, how terrifying would her growth be!
Holy Land? Why shouldn't they consider it!
Why shouldn't they dare to think about it!
They would think about it! And they would work hard for it.
Otherwise, how could they live up to Little Junior Sister staying behind like this?
Night was deep, and Heavenly Sword Peak soon quieted down.
Yun Jin returned to her room. Gu Jinghong and Gun Gun, as well as Ye Cheng, were all there waiting for her.
Gu Jinghong lowered his eyes submissively and said softly, "Congratulations, Master."
Gu Jinghong was truly delighted. Previously, when Yun Jin faced Ruan Jun, he was still somewhat worried. Unexpectedly, Yun Jin had won so cleanly and decisively.
After the Grand Sect Tournament ended, Yun Jin followed the seniors to cultivate, and Gu Jinghong never had a chance to speak with her. Today, upon hearing that the seniors were leaving, the two people and one beast had been waiting early.
"Master." Ye Cheng bowed seriously. "This disciple is infinitely glad to see Master unharmed."
Yun Jin helplessly glanced at this rigid and proper disciple of hers. She smiled and said, "Ye Cheng, your progress in botany techniques has been pretty good lately."
She had the system and could see Ye Cheng's progress in real time.
It must be said that Ye Cheng's talent in botany techniques was indeed astonishing. Combined with her frequently giving him private lessons, Ye Cheng's speed of improvement was even more astonishing. He wasn't far from the third level.
By then, Yun Jin could directly break through to the fourth level.
To progress any further, what would hold Ye Cheng back instead would be his cultivation level.
To break through the fourth level, he would need to at least be in Nascent Soul Stage.
Coincidentally, she was barely free lately. Yun Jin had already decided to open the furnace to refine pills, and then refine more pills that increased spiritual power. Both she and Ye Cheng could take them.
Hearing Yun Jin's praise, a trace of joy flashed in Ye Cheng's eyes.
Master saying this showed that she had been secretly paying attention to his cultivation progress.
Master was so busy, yet she still remembered him.
Ye Cheng instantly added two more points of Bond Value to Yun Jin.
Seeing that it was almost reaching one hundred percent, Yun Jin also didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This Ye Cheng was too simple-minded. If not for Ma Hongyu and herself both not being bad people, he would've long been tricked until not even his underpants were left.
Gu Jinghong looked at Ye Cheng's excited expression and his face couldn't help changing slightly.
This Ye Cheng! Too good at acting!
With that appearance, is he trying to snatch away Master's favor from him?
Gu Jinghong spoke calmly, "I remember, Ye Cheng, you planted a batch of Nightglow Grass. Nightglow Grass attracts insects especially at night, correct?"
Ye Cheng immediately became nervous, "Master, then I will go take care of the spiritual plants first."
Yun Jin nodded, and only then did Ye Cheng hurriedly leave.
The corners of Gu Jinghong's lips curled up slightly in an unnoticeable smile. He poured Yun Jin a cup of tea and said, "Spiritual plants are the only thing in Ye Cheng's heart."
Unlike me, Master is the only one in my heart.
Yun Jin didn't catch any hidden meaning. She said calmly, "Only with such sincerity can one go further."
She's very satisfied with this disciple.
Gu Jinghong: "..."
What had he done? Help Ye Cheng gain a wave of favorability?
"Alright, you go out first." Yun Jin waved her hand casually.
Gu Jinghong hadn't expected that right after Ye Cheng left, he would also be chased out. He couldn't help but feel depressed for a moment, but he didn't dare show it on his face.
"Gun Gun, come here." Yun Jin beckoned, leaving only Gun Gun behind.
Gun Gun proudly glanced at Gu Jinghong, then threw itself into Yun Jin's embrace.
Gu Jinghong: "..."
He silently walked outside the door to stand guard.
Just wait. One day, he would become the helper that Master valued most.
Yun Jin hugged Gun Gun and played with it for a while, then smiled and said, "Gun Gun, I have good news."
Gun Gun's eyes lit up, "Is there tasty food?"
"Even more surprising than that." Yun Jin smiled mysteriously.
Gun Gun couldn't help getting excited.
More surprising than tasty food?
What kind of heavenly good thing could that be!
Yun Jin temporarily put Gun Gun down and then released the Illusion Fox Cat from the beast taming pouch.
The Illusion Fox Cat, upon seeing Yun Jin, immediately burrowed into her arms and lay there comfortably.
Yun Jin patted the Illusion Fox Cat's head and smiled, "Gun Gun, you have a companion now! Surprised?"
Gun Gun widened its eyes, looking in disbelief at the Illusion Fox Cat in Yun Jin's arms.
At that moment.
It suddenly resonated with Gu Jinghong!
Its Master!
Actually had a dog outside?!
"Huan Huan, this is Gun Gun, also my spirit beast. From now on, you two are companions, you must get along well." Yun Jin introduced them.
The Illusion Fox Cat lifted its gaze slightly and glanced at Gun Gun with some disdain.
Ugh… how filthy!
It didn't want such a companion.
The Illusion Fox Cat snorted, turning its head away with a face full of arrogance.
Gun Gun instantly stomped its foot in anger!
What do you mean!
What does that snort mean?
This lousy fox-cat dared to provoke it?!
Gun Gun immediately bared its teeth and brandished its claws toward the Illusion Fox Cat.
The Illusion Fox Cat did not react, so Gun Gun directly charged forward, trying to seize Yun Jin's embrace.
The Illusion Fox Cat finally reacted. It lifted its proud gaze and delivered a claw toward Gun Gun.
At that, Gun Gun was also unconvinced.
The two spirit beasts confronted each other and engaged in some friendly exchanges, then both rushed outside.
Yun Jin blinked and followed them.
The two spirit beasts instantly started fighting.
Both were now in Foundation Establishment Stage. In terms of cultivation level, the Illusion Fox Cat was slightly higher.
The Illusion Fox Cat had been trained by Liuli for a while, with a well-matched set of skills.
Gun Gun, on the other hand, had been raised by Yun Jin herself. Though it didn't have many skills, they were like hacks.
The two spirit beasts tangled into one ball, it was quite a sight.
Amidst the flying sand and rocks, Gun Gun finally pressed the Illusion Fox Cat beneath its bear paw.
Although its cultivation level was slightly lower, its skill levels were too high, and the Illusion Fox Cat was ultimately inferior.
"From now on, I'm the boss! Call me Big Brother, did you hear?!" Gun Gun threatened like a bully.
The Illusion Fox Cat was somewhat unconvinced, but it indeed couldn't beat Gun Gun right now, so it could only let out a wronged meow.
Only then was Gun Gun satisfied!
No matter how many dogs Master had outside in the future, it, Gun Gun, would forever be the strongest!
