Regarding the exposure of Le Mulan's Deep Cold Magical Vein, Zhang Yu was not entirely unprepared in his heart.

After all, during the last sect examination, Le Mulan might have inadvertently revealed some special aspects about herself.

With the advanced Immortal Dao Technology in the sect, combined with one layer of inspection after another, once various tests were conducted on Le Mulan, discovering the longevity extension ability of the Deep Cold Magical Vein wouldn't be too difficult.

Zhang Yu had once considered perhaps persuading Le Mulan to give up the sect examination, to abandon entering the sect, and to cultivate more safely in the Lower Realm.

But after conversing with Le Mulan, Zhang Yu knew this was nearly impossible.

Just like the majority of the top ten students, joining a sect... climbing to the Immortal Dao Peak... this was a dream etched deeply in their hearts, a challenge they were willing to pay any price to attempt.

Le Mulan did not want to give up the opportunity to join a sect; it was a decision she had made, and Zhang Yu chose to respect her decision.

"Nevertheless... thanks to the powerful Immortal Dao Technology in the sect, the Wanfa Sect does not lack various methods for longevity extension."

"Even if Le Mulan's Deep Cold Magical Vein is discovered, it shouldn't involve frightening forces, and might even be safer than being discovered in the Lower Realm, where there aren't as many longevity extension methods as there are in the sect."

Even so, Zhang Yu could not ignore the disappearance of this companion of his.

He looked at the three avatars in his address book and thought to himself, "Master Xinghuo... Big Sister... and Bu Yingshu."

These were the people Zhang Yu could think of who would most likely help him inquire about Le Mulan's situation.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yu chose to contact Bu Yingshu.

...

In a lavish and opulent room.

Bu Yingshu was absentmindedly listening to the reports of her subordinates.

Although she seemed indifferent, the subordinates reporting were trembling, not daring to be careless.

After all, the legends surrounding this Immortal Clan Noble Lady were terrifying, with tales of ruining families and causing downfall, leaving them with no choice but to be cautious.

At this moment, a figure from the Law Realm appeared before Bu Yingshu, visible only to her.

"Little sister, I heard you accomplished something incredible at the Yufa Pavilion; the uncles and elders are all praising you."

The speaker was Bu Zhenqing, one of Bu Yingshu's clan brothers from the Immortal Clan.

Although a clan brother, Bu Yingshu never really got along well with him.

Both being among the youngest in the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Clan, they naturally interacted more, but they were inevitably compared to each other.

In Bu Zhenqing's eyes, his clan sister was overly ambitious, aiming too high, lacking the talent inherited from their great bloodline.

It could be said that since childhood, Bu Zhenqing's achievements had always overshadowed his sister's.

This made him constantly look down on Bu Yingshu.

In his view, Bu Yingshu was the typical incapable member of the Immortal Clan, wasting sect resources and Immortal bloodline.

Yet, curiously, her status from birth was much higher than his.

This not only made him look down on her but also stirred a bit of jealousy in his heart.

"This guy... at most deserves to be my daughter, what qualifies him to be my sister?"

So, when Bu Zhenqing first heard that she had deciphered the "Blood Tide Essence Qi Holy Observation" and completed the cultivation technique validation, he was a bit skeptical.

Since even he wasn't confident in validating this cultivation technique, he left the opportunity for Bu Yingshu.

According to his judgment at the time, Bu Yingshu definitely couldn't handle it, using her high status to test the waters.

Only after multiple confirmations did Bu Zhenqing believe she had indeed completed the validation of the "Blood Tide Essence Qi Holy Observation."

On the other hand, Bu Yingshu looked at the brother who repeatedly insulted her but now appeared courteous, a proud smile involuntarily appearing on her face.

"Those of you who always looked down on me, underestimated me... now you know how impressive I am, right?"

Bu Yingshu thought to herself, "In the past, I was just accumulating strength and building foundations, but now my time to soar has come. Forget about you... even those older clan members will be trampled under my feet."

She also looked down on her brother Bu Zhenqing.

In Bu Yingshu's eyes, even when she kept her talent hidden and preserved her strength, he was only slightly stronger, yet he obtained much more resources.

"If all those benefits were given to me, I might have awakened a decade earlier."

She thought, "Unlike Bu Zhenqing, a deadbeat who wasted so much, now my talent far exceeds his."

"Brother? You might as well just resign as my subordinate."

"No, in a few years, you'd even be my grandson."

Seeing the familiar proud expression on Bu Yingshu's face, Bu Zhenqing thought, "There it goes again... She's fantasizing again. My stupid sister, seeing you still act this way, I can be at ease."

"There must be something fishy about the validation of the 'Blood Tide Essence Qi Holy Observation' this time."

Considering this, Bu Zhenqing decided to probe her.

He said, "Little sister, I heard you took in a little pet at Yufa Pavilion. Lend it to me for a bit."
