This doesn’t mean that the formations of the Tianjian Sect are weak; on the contrary, their formations are quite formidable, and they have many disciples skilled in formation techniques. However, they lack a key figure at the top level to carry the weight.
Mountains like Danfeng and Lianqi Peak didn’t exist when the Tianjian Sect was founded. They were established later, thanks to a few exceptionally talented disciples who emerged.
Thus, Bai Feng’s arrival was seen as an opportunity—a chance to perfect the system of the Tianjian Sect.
But it was also a challenge. After all, Bai Feng wasn’t just any ordinary disciple; he was the eldest son of the Bai family from the Northern Region. Keeping him around would definitely be a tough task.
Chu Ningyan clearly understood the sect leader’s intentions. After pondering for a few seconds, she suggested, “In that case, let’s have Bai Feng stay at the main peak. That way, others won’t have any objections.”
But the sect leader shook his head. “No, I’ve said it before: none of us can teach him, myself included.”
He then turned to Chu Ningyan. “I remember that Bai Feng’s sister, Bai Yumo, is your disciple, right?”
“Yes,” Chu Ningyan nodded. “Their relationship is quite good, not at all like the rumors suggest.”
“Hmm…” The sect leader nodded, quickly formulating a plan in his mind. “Then let’s have Bai Feng continue staying at Qingzhu Peak. We won’t assign him any tasks that might disturb him. It’s good for him to study formations. When I have time, I’ll visit my old friend and see if I can persuade a formation master to join us.”
“Understood.”
Chu Ningyan naturally wouldn’t oppose this; after all, it meant they had gained a formation genius for free.
However, she wouldn’t just sit idly by. The problem was, she didn’t understand formations, so she could only seek help from her friends.
Bai Feng was unaware of the stir his revealed talent for formations had caused among the higher-ups of the Tianjian Sect. While he was studying formations, he suddenly noticed a reaction from the luck radar.
And the source was right on Qingzhu Peak.

**Chapter 25: The Luck Dog?**
“Who is it? Is it that luck child who targeted me before, or is there another luck child on Qingzhu Peak besides Bai Yumo?”
Bai Feng set down the book in his hands and hurried to the window. He looked outside and saw a disheveled figure.
The person looked haggard, with faint dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn’t slept in ages. A bitter smile lingered on his lips, suggesting a tragic story behind him.
“Is this guy also a luck child?”
A luck child who’s a masochist?
Bai Feng couldn’t help but scoff.
But judging by the way he was walking away, it seemed he wasn’t looking for him, which was fine. As long as this luck child didn’t die at his doorstep, he was good.
If he were an ordinary person, Bai Feng might have been curious enough to approach and eavesdrop, but since he was a luck child, he thought better of it. He was worried that he might end up being the one consumed by the drama.
Just as Bai Feng was about to continue reading, he noticed the luck child turning back and heading toward the building where he was.
“Hmm?”
Could it be that he really was coming to find him?
Should I pretend I’m not home?
While he was contemplating this, he saw the luck child looking in his direction.
Why isn’t he following the script? Who looks inside a house without knocking first? I should have drawn the curtains.
Although Bai Feng wasn’t standing right in front of the window, he wasn’t hiding in a corner either, so it was obvious that someone was inside.
The luck child was quite straightforward. He stopped, turned, and walked directly to the window.
“Excuse me, is Senior Sister Yuyao not at Qingzhu Peak?”
‘Senior Sister Yuyao? I think I’ve heard Bai Yumo mention her.’
Bai Feng pondered while sizing up the luck child—could it be that this luck child was a sycophant of Senior Sister Yuyao?
But since the guy wasn’t approaching him, he felt relieved.
So he shook his head. “Sorry, I just arrived a few days ago, so I’m not familiar with Senior Sister Yuyao’s whereabouts.”
“Oh, I see…” The luck child looked a bit disappointed but quickly perked up. “I’m Luo Chen from Zixiao Peak. If Senior Sister Yuyao returns, could you let me know? I’ll be sure to repay you handsomely.”
“I might not have made it clear before, but I just joined the Tianjian Sect and am only temporarily staying at Qingzhu Peak, so I’m afraid I can’t help you.”
Bai Feng waved his hand. He really only knew his sister Bai Yumo at Qingzhu Peak, and he didn’t want to get involved with a luck child.
“Sorry for being so forward,” the luck child said with a bitter smile. “In that case, I’ll wait a little longer.”
“…”
Yep, it’s confirmed—there’s a solid 90% chance this guy is a sycophant.
A luck child acting like a sycophant? How refreshing… or maybe not. According to the usual plot development, this luck child might end up being transmigrated, or reborn, or perhaps have a sudden epiphany?
At that moment, Bai Yumo opened the door to Bai Feng’s room as usual, holding fresh spirit vegetables and meat.
“Brother, today we’re having…” Before Bai Yumo could finish, she spotted the two figures standing by the window, and her mind momentarily went blank.
What’s going on? Why are they talking through the window?
Seeing this, Bai Feng casually explained, “He’s looking for Senior Sister Yuyao.”
“Oh, it’s Senior Brother Luo,” Bai Yumo said as she walked over to Bai Feng’s side, glancing at the disheveled luck child outside. “Senior Sister Yuyao is temporarily out, and I’m not sure when she’ll be back.”
“Thank you, Junior Sister Bai,” Luo Chen clasped his hands in gratitude. After hesitating for a few seconds, he pulled out three bottles of pills from his robe. “Could you please give this bottle of pills to Senior Sister Yuyao? I’d like her to pass this bottle to Senior Sister Ji, just let her know that Luo Chen has realized his mistake.”
“Why don’t you give it to her yourself?”
Faced with Bai Yumo’s question, Luo Chen let out a bitter laugh. “Senior Sister doesn’t want to see me lately.”
Bai Yumo nodded and continued to look at the other two bottles of pills. “What are these two for? Are they for your junior sister?”
“No, I wouldn’t want to trouble Junior Sister Bai and Senior Sister Yuyao with something so trivial. Please accept these two bottles of pills instead.”
“No need for the pills,” Bai Yumo waved her hand. “I’ll inform Senior Sister, but I can’t guarantee she’ll agree.”
“Thank you, Junior Sister. That’s all I ask.”
Luo Chen visibly relaxed, handing over the pills before expressing his thanks and leaving.
Bai Feng watched Luo Chen’s dejected figure as he walked away, unable to help but mutter to himself, “He really is a sycophant?”
Just a sycophant for that Senior Sister Ji.
It made him feel like this luck child posed no threat at all—he didn’t need to be on guard.
After that, he turned to Bai Yumo. “Does this guy come to Qingzhu Peak often?”
“Yeah, he’s a… hard-to-evaluate person.”
Bai Yumo briefly explained. The story was easy to understand; he had been framed for stealing pills from a junior brother, but his junior sister and senior sisters all thought he was in the wrong. It seemed something similar had happened again, which was why he was trying to get Senior Sister Yuyao to help him out.
Bai Feng’s expression was strange; he felt there were too many points to critique.
“Such a strange relationship, right?” Bai Yumo couldn’t help but shake her head. “I remember Senior Brother Luo has a good reputation and treats the disciples of Zixiao Peak well, yet he ends up with such senior sisters and junior sisters.”
“Maybe he’s emboldened by being favored. His personality is also an issue; who acts so sycophantically?”
Bai Feng stroked his chin and then glanced at Bai Yumo. “By the way, don’t be like him in the future. Giving everything in a relationship won’t lead to good results; you’ll just end up being looked down upon like he is.”
“Hmm…”
Bai Yumo lowered her head. She had just been talking about others, but after Bai Feng’s explanation, she suddenly realized that she used to be the kind of person who was emboldened by favoritism…
It seemed her brother still held some grievances; she hadn’t done well enough.
【Ding! Detected that the luck child has developed feelings of fear and regret under the host’s lesson, severely striking down the luck child’s rising arrogance. Gained 20 luck points, spiritual power +2.】
Bai Feng: “?”
What’s wrong with you, little sister?
I’m trying to teach you not to be a sycophant, and you’re repaying me with this?
“What’s wrong? You didn’t used to be like this, did you?” Bai Feng asked suspiciously. Although the system often exaggerated small matters to give him luck points, there was indeed some basis for it, meaning Bai Yumo had experienced some emotional fluctuations.
“No!” Bai Yumo quickly shook her head, sneaking a glance at Bai Feng. “I just thought of some things.”
“Oh, if someone is forcing you to be a sycophant, just ignore them. Don’t feel any psychological burden; some people just can’t be persuaded.”
Bai Feng nodded, almost forgetting that Bai Yumo was quite popular in the Tianjian Sect. There were probably many sycophants after her.
Bai Yumo: “…”
What exactly does her brother mean?
Bai Feng was about to say more when a sudden knock came from outside the door.
“Who is it?”
