Hearing the words of the Little One in the formation, Xuan Ye couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Oh, then when you go back, just tell him to bring you to Prince Luo's Residence to find me tomorrow." At this point, she glanced at Xuan Ye and continued, "The Snow Spirit's Old Man goes back to Prince Luo's Residence every day."
Xuan Ye was slightly taken aback when he heard the Little One refer to his master as "Old Man." He thought to himself, "This Divine Star from the Otherworld is quite disrespectful. However, judging by her tone, she seems to be quite familiar with my master."
After giving a slight nod to the Little One across from him, Xuan Ye waved his hand at the Phoenix in midair, signaling it to leave with him.
He expected the Phoenix to fly back onto his shoulder as it usually did. However, after a while, the Phoenix continued to fly around in the air, unwilling to come down.
Seeing this, both Luo Bingbing and Xuan Ye understood that the Phoenix did not want to leave.
Thus, Xuan Ye said to Luo Bingbing, "It must know that you are its master, so it doesn't want to leave with me and wants to follow you."
"In that case, let it stay!" As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bingbing pointed at Luo Yi on the ground, indicating for Xuan Ye to release his acupoint.
After seeing the gesture from the Little One across from him, Xuan Ye gently nodded and quickly vanished from sight. As he left, he also released Luo Yi's sleeping acupoint.
As soon as Luo Yi's acupoint was released, he woke up immediately. The moment he opened his eyes, he began searching for Luo Bingbing. His heart settled only when he saw her standing safely in front of him.
Then he looked around but did not see the White-Clad Elder. So he asked aloud, "Master, where did that White-Clad Elder go?"
Upon hearing his question, Luo Bingbing turned to look at him and replied calmly, "You're awake; that person has already left."
"But that fire-breathing Bird is still flying up there!" He suddenly noticed the Phoenix soaring in midair and expressed his confusion.
"It will follow me from now on," Luo Bingbing replied confidently.
Little Beggar Luo Yi was slightly taken aback by his master's words because he had no idea what had happened. However, knowing his place as a subordinate, he chose not to ask further.
While they were talking, someone was already coming down from the mountain in the distance. Luo Bingbing was eager for Xuan Ye to leave because she knew they would be returning soon.
Slowly, people began to come down from the mountain, and the first four to return stood behind Luo Bingbing, while those who arrived later remained standing across from them.
Soon, an hour had passed, and the beggars gradually returned to her side. However, there were still some who had not returned on time.
Seeing that the time was up, Luo Bingbing addressed those who had already come back: "Alright, we won't wait any longer. Those of you who have returned can participate in my training session, but those who haven't returned will not be eligible to join. However, they can join as core members of the Beggar Clan."
After a brief pause, she continued, "Please count off and see how many of you are here."
Upon hearing her words, the crowd looked at each other in confusion, unsure of what she meant by counting off or how to do it.
Noticing their puzzled expressions, Luo Bingbing explained, "Just start counting from one, one number per person until the last person. The final count will indicate how many of you there are."
Once they understood her explanation, the crowd began to count.
"One, two, three…"
They counted from the beginning until they reached the last person, which turned out to be one hundred. Over a hundred had gone up the mountain, but only one hundred returned. Luo Bingbing couldn't help but furrow her brow at this.
While she was deep in thought, Luo Yi suddenly said to her, "Master, look over there; some people are rushing this way."
Hearing his words, Luo Bingbing raised her eyes to look at the foot of the mountain across from them and indeed saw a few people hurrying toward them.
However, even though they were returning now, they had already exceeded the allotted time. Therefore, Luo Bingbing still would not allow them to join her special training.
She withdrew her gaze and told the beggars in front of her: "You all go back to the dense forest near Silver City for now. Tomorrow night I will come find you and take you to a new place for training."
After finishing her statement, she turned to the four behind her and said: "You four should go with them as well. I hope you can maintain your top four positions."
Upon hearing her words, everyone responded in unison: "Yes, we take our leave."
Luo Bingbing nodded slightly at them and waved her hand to signal them to disperse quickly. Seeing the gesture from the Young Boy, they immediately split into several small teams and left one by one.
When the few who had returned from their extended mission arrived back at the place where Luo Bingbing was, they found only the two Little Ones there. They knew they had failed to pass the Young Boy's test.
Just as they were feeling disheartened, the voice of the Young Boy reached their ears. "You need not be discouraged. Although you did not pass my test and cannot join my training team, as long as you continue to work hard and train with Luo Young Master Yi, you will surely become his best assistant and a key member of the Beggar Clan."
Upon hearing the Young Boy's words, hope ignited in their hearts once more, and the confidence that had been slowly fading began to return bit by bit.
Luo Bingbing turned to Luo Yi and said, "Luo Yi, you are in charge of them and those who come after. Wait here for one hour. If they have not returned by then, you need not wait any longer; they likely will not come back."
At this point, she paused and took out twenty thousand taels of silver notes from her pocket, handing them to him. "Here are twenty thousand taels. Go to Silver City and buy a residence to serve as the headquarters for the Beggar Clan. You will also live there to manage the affairs of the Beggar Clan, including gathering information from the beggars."
"Yes, Master. I will not fail in my duty," Luo Yi replied quickly after receiving the silver notes.
"Do well. I must take my leave now." As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bingbing summoned the Phoenix from the sky.
Once the Phoenix settled on her other shoulder, she began to channel her Inner Strength and activate her Ability, taking off with the Snow Spirit Fox as she instantly vanished from the Gorge.
In an instant, only Luo Yi and those who had failed the test remained in the Gorge, waiting for those who had yet to descend.
Using her Ability, Luo Bingbing returned directly to her room. The Snow Spirit Fox went straight back to its little nest, while the Phoenix had no nest of its own and had no choice but to stay obediently on the table in the middle.
After changing into fresh clothes, Luo Bingbing told the Phoenix to "sleep" before ignoring it completely and heading straight to her bed for some rest.
Meanwhile, Xuan Ye returned to the Herbal Shop and went directly to find Snow Spirit Elder in his room. He informed Snow Spirit Elder that he had located the Otherworldly Divine Star and conveyed Luo Bingbing's message for him.
Upon hearing Xuan Ye say that Luo Bingbing was indeed the Otherworldly Divine Star, Snow Spirit Elder was filled with astonishment and joy.
He felt he had made no mistake in choosing such a good disciple. Both of them were so excited that they couldn't feel sleepy at all and continued chatting away.
The next day, at dawn, they both arrived at Prince Luo's Residence. Since the gatekeeper recognized Snow Spirit Elder, they were allowed straight into Piaoyun Pavilion. Finding that Luo Bingbing had not yet risen, they decided to wait in the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion.
However, it seemed that Luo Bingbing was aware of their arrival; just as they sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard, she opened her door and gestured for them to come inside.
At that moment, the Nursemaid had not yet brought the toiletries, so Luo Bingbing had not washed up.
The reason she made an exception to wake up early was that they had already arrived at the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion. Soon, Lo An Lord and the others would come to practice in the courtyard, and she feared that her so-called Father would ask all sorts of questions. Therefore, she called them in early to instruct them on how to respond later.
She heard the Little One say, "Old Man, since they all think you are my master, then you can be my second master."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed at Xuan Ye beside him and said, "And he will be my Master, but he must pass on all his ultimate skills to me."
Just after Luo Bingbing finished speaking, Snow Spirit Elder clapped his hands and said, "Great! Great! I wholeheartedly agree, and I will also pass on all my ultimate skills to you."
Upon hearing this, Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and said, "Then when you meet my father later, you should know what to say, right?"
Both of them nodded gently after hearing the Little One's words.
"Since you already know, go outside and get some fresh air! I still want to sleep." The Little One immediately issued an eviction order.
Thus, they had no choice but to go out. As soon as they stepped outside, they saw Lo An Lord's figure appearing at the entrance of Piaoyun Pavilion.
