Chapter 412: Senior brother, first meeting
The scorching sun in the afternoon was a bit dazzling. The streets of Donghuang Immortal City were crowded with people, and there were small stalls selling strange gadgets everywhere.
Yun Tianchong and Ye Anping walked on the street one after another, in a very high-profile manner. Yun Tianchong had no intention of concealing his spiritual energy during the whole process. The spiritual transformation energy stood out among the crowd in this street full of foundation-building and Qi-refining cultivators, and his face, which was originally a boy’s and a girl’s, was naturally charming.
After walking down the street, Ye Anping couldn’t count how many female cultivators on the street blushed because they looked at him.
Ye Anping didn’t want to join in the same trend, so he deliberately pressed the bamboo hat down and distanced himself a little.
However, seeing that Ye Anping was extremely reserved on the road, Yun Tianchong leaned over slightly, took a look at the handsome face under the bamboo hat, and said with a smile:
“My little Daoist friend is very handsome, why are you still wearing this bamboo hat?”
Ye Anping thought for a while and replied with a smile:
“This junior knows how good his appearance is, but now that he has a family, it is inconvenient to attract bees and butterflies outside, and pick flowers and grass. This is unjust to Daoist companions…”
Feeling that he was scolding himself, Yun Tianchong was stunned for a moment, but then showed an embarrassed smile and raised his hand to knock the bamboo hat on his head:
“You’re a kid, you’re quite sharp-tongued. Are you saying this to ridicule me for being unjust to my fellow Daoists?”
“Haha… The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.”
Yun Tianchong shook his head slightly, with a look of helplessness on his face, and sighed:
“But it is true as you said, I know that I have a bad reputation, and I have been unjust to Daoists in the first half of my life. More than ten wives have given birth to hundreds of children for me, but now there are only three girls left. Well……”
“Sect Master Yun is… blaming himself?”
“Whether you blame yourself or feel guilty, there is no elixir of regret in this world. I don’t have any thoughts now. The only thing I want is to protect the three remaining girls and watch them grow up… …”
Is this because my balls are stuck, so my conscience finds out…
Ye Anping glanced at him and looked at Yun Tianchong’s slightly sad eyes, feeling that he seemed to have woken up.
“It’s not a bad idea to turn back and find the shore.”
“Haha… Your kid is trying to teach me a lesson? But you are quite good-tempered, much better than the leader of your Xuanxing Sect. It’s good to speak out if you have something to say.”
“Yes, after this junior returns to the Xuanxing Sect, he will inform the sect leader of the senior’s original words.”
“Hiss–”
Yun Tianchong glanced at Ye Anping, rolled his eyes at him, raised his hand, and tapped the bamboo hat on his head again:
“No matter how big or small you are, you are outspoken. If I hadn’t been a good talker, if you dared to speak like this to other cultivators in the transformation stage, your mouth would have been sewn shut long ago.”
“Don’t you also say that it’s good for juniors to speak directly when they have something to say?”
“That’s all -” Yun Tianchong shook his head, looked around, and asked, “You, a Xuanxing Sect disciple, why did you come to Donghuang?”
“To save people.”
“Rescue someone? Do you need my help? Who do you want to save? Is it your Daoist companion?”
“Well, it’s my fellow Daoist.”
“Has your Daoist companion been kidnapped, or did you run away from home and come to Donghuang?”
“To be precise…” Ye Anping looked at him, sighed softly, and said, “I came to Donghuang with my family. The demonic cultivators are coming to the city soon. Donghuang is going to change. Junior came to pick her up.”
“Demon cultivator comes to the city?”
When Yun Tianchong heard this, he was a little surprised. He turned to look at Ye Anping. Seeing his calm eyes, he hesitated for a while, shook his head and said:
“The Donghuang Great Wall has been standing here for thousands of years. The demonic cultivators come to attack almost every ten years. When was it broken? What’s more, I and Heavenly Execution Court’s master are both here now. If the demonic cultivators come, isn’t that…”
Ye Anping sighed again and said bluntly, “This time is different from the past. Now that the Emperor Sect has been destroyed, the demon tribe has occupied Tian’an, and the three cities of Donghuang are isolated and helpless… Next time, the Ghost Spirit Sect is almost in full force. Even if you and the Master of the Heavenly Execution Pavilion are here, the Ghost Clan is here. If the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect comes…”
“Where did you get the news? Thousands of years ago, the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect was seriously injured by Danyue and Zu Yuan. He lost nearly 70% of his ghost energy and is almost considered a useless person…”
“But after all, it has been a thousand years…”
“Okay.” Yun Tianchong frowned slightly and interrupted, “I will invite the Master of the Heavenly Execution Pavilion to meet with me soon. How about you tell her what you know and see if she believes you? Tell me back to you. What’s the matter, aren’t you going to pick up your Daoist companion? What is her name? I’ll ask the disciples of the Sword Sect to help you find out…”
“Her name is…”
Before Ye Anping could say the name, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yun Yiyi in a golden and white dress on the third-floor window of a luxuriously decorated restaurant not far ahead, holding her cheeks and looking in the direction of the Great Wall.
The blond hair was smooth and draped on her shoulders. The emerald eyes under the bangs showed a little melancholy and confusion, and he didn’t know what she was thinking.
Noticing that Ye Anping was suddenly silent, Yun Tianchong stopped, glanced at him sideways, and then followed his gaze toward Yun Yiyi at the third-floor window of the pavilion.
Immediately, he quickly pulled Ye Anping’s bamboo hat down a little to cover his sight:
“What? Are you attracted to my daughter?”
“…”
Ye Anping came back to his senses, flattened his mouth speechlessly, and put the bamboo hat back on. After Yun Yiyi caught a glimpse of her father’s blond hair from the corner of her eye, she turned to look at the two of them for a moment, and her previously thoughtful expression instantly turned into indifference.
Yun Tianchong put on a smile and quickly raised his hand to greet her:
“Yier~~Daddy is back and bought some elixirs for Xi’er. Where is she?”
“…”
Yun Yiyi, who was standing on the window edge, didn’t reply a word. She paused, raised her hand to close the window, and got back into the house…
Snap–
A breeze swept through Yun Tianchong’s blond hair. He put down his raised hand in embarrassment and sighed:
“Well…”
“It seems that Sect Leader Yun and Ling Qianjin are indeed at odds with each other.”
“Haha…” Yun Tianchong smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, “Originally, I owe them, so it’s okay. By the way, didn’t I say I’d treat you to tea? That’s it. The Master of the Heavenly Execution Pavilion will be here soon…”
“Um.”
Ye Anping accepted with his hands, and then followed Yun Tianchong into the restaurant and went up to the hall on the second floor. After he followed Yun Tian and rushed to a wooden couch by the window, a sound of footsteps came from upstairs. Yun Yiyi held onto the railing with a depressed look on her face and walked down from the third floor toward them.
“Father, what did Heavenly Execution Court say? Will they help find those lost Sword Sect disciples?”
Yun Tianchong nodded and said, “I invited the Master of Heavenly Execution Pavilion to come here. He will be here in a moment. By the way… this.”
As he said that, he took out the Jade Dragon Pill he just bought in the pill shop from his storage bag and handed it to Yun Yiyi:
“This is the Jade Dragon Pill. Give it to Xi’er… take it for a day, and she’ll be able to get out of bed.”
“I know.”
Yun Yiyi took the box and then glanced at it. She sat cross-legged opposite Yun Tianchong, covering her face with a bamboo hat. The mysterious Ye Anping twisted his eyebrows slightly:
“Who is this?”
“Oh~ He’s a disciple of Xuanxing Sect. Dad just met him at the elixir shop and invited him to come for a cup of tea or something.”
Yun Tianchong smiled and wanted to introduce him, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had forgotten to ask for his name, so he asked Ye Anping again:
“Fellow Daoist, I just forgot to ask your name.”
Ye Anping was silent for a moment, nodded, and replied:
“Ye Anping.”
Yun Tianchong nodded, then turned to look at Yun Yiyi:
“The name is quite nice, Yi’er… go and ask the shopkeeper to bring you a pot of good tea.”
However, Yun Yiyi seemed to be pinned down, her eyes fixed on Ye Anping, who was now wearing a bamboo hat, and she didn’t respond at all.
“…”
Just when Yun Tianchong was confused, the jade box Yun Yiyi was holding suddenly slipped from her hands and fell to the ground.
Ye Anping immediately raised his right hand to catch it and said:
“Miss Yun, please hold on tighter, this Jade Dragon Pill can’t be dropped…”
“Ah… An…” Yun Yiyi pursed her lips gently as if she wanted to call him “A Ping”, but after taking a look at her stinky father, she closed her mouth, “Thank you so much, Senior Ye.”
After nodding and saluting, Yun Yiyi picked up the small box containing the Jade Dragon Pill and quickly ran down the stairs to the lobby on the first floor.
Yun Tianchong looked at the back of Yun Yiyi running away in panic. He felt a little puzzled for a moment, put his arm on the table, and said, “Boy Ye, let me remind you… That is the eldest lady of my Sword Sect. Don’t make any crooked ideas. Don’t act recklessly thinking that I am easy to talk to.”
Ye Anping smiled, took off the hat on his head, placed it on the table, nodded, and said, “What does Immortal Yun mean? I’m just helping to pick it up.”
“Ha…” Yun Tian rolled his eyes at him, and then smiled, “Come on, let’s talk about you, kid. I am really curious, how on earth did you, the kid, form a Heavenly Golden Core with your dual spiritual root qualifications? He was struck to death by lightning.”
Ye Anping thought for a moment, then slowly said, “This is nothing unspeakable. I started practicing hard at the age of four…”
…
At the same time, Yun Yiyi, who ran from the second floor to the lobby on the first floor, felt inexplicably as if a buck was pounding her heart. As soon as she ran down the last wooden staircase, she couldn’t help but bow and cover her chest.
She also recalled in my mind the last words Ye Anping said to her when he left the Sword Sect. At that time, she was lying on the bed, looking at Ye Anping who was walking out of the house with his back to her, and asked a question:
“Young Master Ye, is there a date for the future or no date?”
He replied, “See you later.”
For several years, Yun Yiyi had been looking forward to the arrival of the “period” mentioned by Ye Anping almost every day.
She was looking forward to finally arriving.
But…
Ye Anping didn’t seem to want to acknowledge her just now. He even called her “Miss Yun”.
Is it because her stinky dad is here?
Or has Ye Anping forgotten her?
After so many years, Ye Anping must have been to many places and met many girls. She and Ye Anping only spent a few months together…
“…”
Yun Yiyi bit her lip lightly and was confused for a moment. Should she remind Ye Anping later? But it was her initiative to break off the engagement…
“Woo…”
Her heart was a mess, and no matter how she tried to sort it out, Yun Yiyi couldn’t sort it out. In the end, she squatted on the ground, holding her head and shaking her head.
The restaurant manager at the counter next to him stared at her for a long time, and finally couldn’t hold it back. He stepped forward and asked:
“Miss Yun is not feeling well? I want the younger one to call a doctor…”
Yun Yiyi came to her senses, stood up, and said:
“No! Go make a pot of the best tea you have here!”
“The little one will be brought up to you in a moment…”
“I’ll serve it myself! You don’t need to deliver it.”
“Ah…”
The shopkeeper was a little confused, but he didn’t say much. After agreeing, he quickly went to the back kitchen to boil water for tea, but when he just ran out of the back door. Two cultivators, a man and a woman, dressed in black robes, stepped into the threshold of the restaurant.
The leading woman looked young, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but her brows revealed a maturity far beyond her apparent age.
The woman glanced at the restaurant lobby and saw Yun Yiyi with blond hair, and then she walked over lightly:
“Forgive me for my mistake, but are you the eldest lady of the Sword Sect?”
“Ah…”
Yun Yiyi was stunned for a moment. When she saw the Heavenly Execution emblem on the two black Daoist robes, she understood their identities and quickly answered, “Yes, junior Yun Yiyi has met two seniors.”
The man in the black robe next to him returned the greeting and said, “I am the commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Execution Court, Yue Xuanming. This is the master of Heavenly Execution Pavilion, with the Daoist name Fu Xuan. Earlier, the master of the Sword Sect asked the disciples of the Heavenly Execution Court to send a message, telling me to come to meet at Qingsha Pavilion. Is Sect Leader Yun already waiting above?”
“Yes, this junior’s father has just come back and is now talking to people in the hall on the second floor.”
“Thanks for letting me know.”
Yue Xuanming bowed his hands in a salute, spread his hands to indicate, and then followed Master Fu Xuan from the stairs to the second floor of the restaurant. However, just as he walked up the stairs when he saw Yun Tianchong and Ye Anping sitting by the window talking, Yue Xuanming stopped for a moment, with a trace of surprise on his face.
Isn’t that Liang Zhu’s sixth brother?
“Hiss–”
Master Fu Xuan heard him inhale and asked, “Yue Qing, what happened?”
“Back to the Pavilion Master, the young man talking to Sect Master Yun right now is the young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect, his surname is Ye Anping.”
“You talked about it with me…” Fu Xuan nodded, couldn’t help but squint at Ye Anping again, and then laughed, “It seems that this time the demonic cultivators are not just doing it like before. It’s just a show…”
Yue Xuanming was puzzled: “Huh? What the Pavilion Master said…”
Immortal Fu Xuan raised her eyebrows and smiled, saying as if she was joking:
“This young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect is not ordinary. Wherever he has been, there have been constant disasters. Haven’t you heard of it? The invasion of the Chilong Mansion, Moon Shadow Sword Sect, Emperor Sect, and even the demonic cultivators from the Han Tian Kingdom before. He is everywhere.”
“…”
Seeing Yue Xuanming was stunned, Master Fu Xuan covered his mouth and chuckled:
“It’s just a joke, Yue Qing shouldn’t take it seriously.”
“…Yes.”
When the two of them were chatting, Ye Anping also noticed them, looked sideways at them, then stood up quickly, raised his hands, and saluted:
“Long time no see, Master Yue. And… junior Ye Anping has met Pavilion Master Qu.”
After hearing this, Master Fu Xuan’s eyebrows widened slightly, and she suddenly became more interested in Ye Anping. After all, there were very few people in this world who knew her surname “Qu”…
“… Mr. Ye, there is no need to be polite.”
However, Yun Tianchong, who was sitting opposite Ye Anping, turned to look at the two of them, was stunned for a while before standing up, and then looked at Ye Anping again.
Is this guy familiar with the Heavenly Execution Court?
Puzzled, Yun Tianchong also bowed first:
“Thank you both for your invitation. I have reserved a private room. Please move on and tell me.”
