Because he was hungry and still thinking about the strange things that had happened to him these past few days, Yun Yang didn't sleep well in the second half of the night. He was worried that if he fell asleep, he would inexplicably change back and be discovered by his senior brother.

Until dawn, a hint of white appeared on the horizon. Senior Brother woke up, changed clothes, and freshened up. Only then did he close his eyes again, preparing to sleep for a little while longer.

By the time Yun Lin finished washing up, Yun Yang had already fallen asleep.

"Wake up." Yun Ling returned to the bedside and gently nudged the child on the bed. "It's time to get up for morning lessons."

Yunyang drowsily opened his eyes and rubbed them with his small hand. He glanced out the window and saw that it was not yet fully bright outside. "So early?"

"The Mystical Sound Sect has early morning lessons at this hour every day," said Yun Lin, before turning around and leaving.

When Master Xiong left, Yunyang closed his eyes again. In the past two days, as he had just arrived at the Xuan Yin Sect, he was not familiar with the affairs of the sect and his master did not insist on morning classes. Today, he would pretend not to know that there was such a thing as morning class.

These renowned righteous sects are truly tireless. On one hand, they clamor about upholding justice, opposing the demon clan. On the other hand, they treat their disciples within the sect very harshly, imposing numerous rules. Meanwhile, thinking about the demon clan, his father probably hasn't even begun to attend to his duties in that peaceful place yet, for it is not yet noon.

When Yun Yang woke up, it was already past dawn. Not only had the early morning class ended, but Yun Lin had also already led his junior disciples in their morning training. At this moment, Yun Lin was sitting in front of a table, looking at the sword manual that he didn't finish reading yesterday. A wisp of light smoke was rising from the incense burner on the table, and a faint sandalwood fragrance filled the room. Mixed within was a strange medicinal scent.

However, he had no time to worry about this. He was already famished, to the point that his stomach was sticking to his back. "Senior brother, is it time for the morning meal?"

Yun Yang climbed out of bed and tugged at his wrinkled clothes. With a messy head of hair, he approached Yun Lin while patting his growling stomach.

Yun Lin put down the sword manual in his hand and looked at Yun Yang, whose face had turned pale from hunger. He said, "Xuan Yin Sect has rules. Disciples can only have breakfast after the morning class and practice. It's already past the breakfast time now. Remember to wake up early tomorrow."

"What kind of lousy rule is this? You clearly want to starve me to death!" Yun Yang became thoroughly annoyed. Just two days ago, his senior brother would bring him three meals a day without fail. How come everything changed when he arrived at his eldest senior brother's place?

He once again lifted his small leg and dashed towards the door.

Yun Lin knew that he was going to report to the master again, but this time she didn't stop him.

Yun Yang really ran to the residence of the head of Wuchen, Zhu Yue Xuan. As the leader of the sect, Wuchen lived in a place much better than their disciples' rooms. It was a unique and exquisite little courtyard, situated in the midst of a bamboo forest. The courtyard was also filled with various strange flowers and plants, already full of vibrant greenery in the early spring. On the left side of the courtyard, there was a tall locust tree that had yet to bloom. The tree branches were adorned with clusters of newly sprung elliptical tender leaves.

At this moment, the head of the Wuchen sect and an elderly man with white hair were sitting in front of a stone-carved chessboard under a tree, engaged in a game of chess, one playing with black pieces and the other with white pieces.

The old man named Yunyang was not familiar to him, but from the blue robe he wore, it could be determined that this person should also be from the Xuan Yin Sect. He looked like a highly skilled expert judging by his appearance, and somehow managed to make the youthful appearance of the Ignorant Dust Sect Master look like that of an ignorant junior.

However, Yunyang was not worried. He had now completely transformed into a human child, and as long as no sudden incidents occurred, he would not be recognized like he was last night.

As Yunyang entered the courtyard, he heard his master laugh and say, "Elder Li Jue's chess skills are truly extraordinary, I lost again."

The chess master, Wu Chen, who lost the game, even laughed so happily.

"Master." Before Yun Shuang even approached, he called out to Wuchen, the headmaster, in a childish and naive tone.
