Chapter 80: Senior brother prepares to build the foundation
The streets of the city were bustling with people, and there were casual cultivators and chamber of commerce vehicles and horses everywhere who came there to do business. After Ye Anping returned to the city, he walked on the street while recalling Si Xuanji’s previous words.
Si Xuanji said that he was currently clinging to the golden dragon Feng Yudie. This sentence was actually not difficult to understand. It was like the rat climbing on the back of the ox during the zodiac race. The rat, which was originally powerless, gained the ability to compete with the other eleven zodiac signs by clinging to the back of the ox. And this ability should refer to the cultivator’s luck.
Ye Anping was not a particularly superstitious person. His atheistic education in his previous life was deeply ingrained. Even though he had lived in this world for more than ten years, he had never believed in things like fate and luck.
However, if he thought about it carefully, he and his junior sister basically got such opportunities because of Feng Yudie. If the Grand Master of the Gu Poison Sect, Wu Feng Yudie, hadn’t injured you with the Holy Emperor Dragon Body, he and his junior sister would have had almost no chance of winning, and the fragment of “Xuan Yin Jue” would not have fallen into his hands.
If it weren’t for Feng Yudie, his junior sister would not have entered Xuanxing Sect and met Xiao Yunluo. And if his junior sister had not met Xiao Yunluo, he would not have been paid attention to by Si Xuanji.
The most important thing was that Si Xuanji said that his sudden improvement in cultivation was also related to Feng Yudie. Ye Anping had to admit that Si Xuanji’s words made sense. By following Feng Yudie, he would be able to know in advance who he would meet and prepare in advance. And once he left Feng Yudie, he couldn’t predict what he would encounter in the future.
Thinking of this, Ye Anping suddenly felt like “Feng Yudie has become his fate.” However, he and his junior sister were the ones who benefited the most.
Ye Anping shrugged his shoulders slightly, raised his head, looked at the plaque of the Auction House in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief, “Anyway, let’s build the foundation first.”
Then, he stepped across the threshold and walked in.
“Shopkeeper, do you still have the Burial Sand Bones, Morning and Night Dew, Zhu Guo, Jade Dragon Frost, and Ri Nuan Jade? Two sets of each…” Ye Anping hesitated for a while, “Well, forget it, three sets.”
The shopkeeper quickly went up to him with a smile and asked, “Young fellow Daoist, are you going to prepare for foundation building? Do you want some foundation-building pills? I just bought a batch of foundation-building pills. They are of good quality. Take a look.”
“Well… let me see, the quality is really good. Then give me three bottles.”
“Okay, this set costs 12,500 spiritual stones, and the three sets total 37,500 spiritual stones.”
Ye Anping thought for a moment and then tentatively said, “I am the owner and shopkeeper of Ye’s Physiotherapy Center over on East Street. We are both business owners and will visit each other frequently in the future. How about a discount?”
“Oh? So you are that Young Master Ye. Senior Bai of the Xuanxing Sect told me about it before,” the shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and tapped the abacus, “In this case, I will give you a 20% discount. How about ten thousand for a set?”
“Well, okay.”
…
In the blink of an eye, Sister Qiu was kicked away by General Dong, who came over. It snowed for the first time this year in Xuanxing Sect.
Xiao Yunluo woke up early as usual, washed up in a daze, changed into an undershirt, and prepared to go out and practice swordplay for a while. However, the moment she opened the door, she saw a vast expanse of white in the yard, and at the same time, a cold wind blew in her face.
She suddenly trembled, quickly closed the door, slipped back to the closet, and dug out her winter coat. “It’s snowing. It’s been almost two months… That guy Ye Anping didn’t even come to me… Tsk…”
Xiao Yunluo sighed involuntarily and only then realised that something was wrong. “No! Why would I want him to come to me? Humph!”
She shook her head, putting Ye Anping out of her mind, and then went to chop bamboo in the bamboo forest next to the triple courtyard. Since the last time she sparred in the physical therapy hall, Xiao Yunluo had never visited Ye Anping.
Ye Anping clearly wanted to take her life at that time, and she was not stupid. There was no reason to find someone who tried to kill her. But…
Swish——
In the bamboo forest, the sword wind flashed. Xiao Yunluo slashed horizontally, swung the long blunt iron sword in her hand into a circle around her body, and instantly cut off all the dead bamboo within ten feet of her body. Then, she held her breath to control her breathing and looked around.
There was no doubt that since Ye Anping almost killed her at that time, she felt that she had been able to catch up with Pei Lianxue and Feng Yudie. She was very confident now. If she met that group of Seven Killing Sect thugs in the back mountain like she did then she would never be as panicked and frightened as before. However, she didn’t know what had changed about herself.
Obviously, it was just a discussion with Ye Anping… And why, every time she practised swordplay, Ye Anping’s face would always pop up in her mind!
Although Ye Anping did look dignified… But…
“I can’t possibly like him!!”
With an angry roar, Xiao Yunluo swung the sword in her hand again, cutting a nearby viewing stone in two, and then gasped heavily.
“Huha… huha… hu-”
After breathing for a while, Xiao Yunluo closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then suppressed the emotions that were both anger and love in her heart. It was also at this time that a sword shadow flashed across the sky.
Xiao Yunluo couldn’t help but look up and saw Pei Lianxue, who seemed to have just come back from outside. She was now wearing a red scarf around her neck and looked quite happy.
After hesitating for a while, she finally remembered. It seemed that for the past two months, she could see Pei Lianxue flying back from outside every few days in the morning.
At first, Xiao Yunluo didn’t think too much, thinking that Pei Lianxue got up early and went to the main peak to buy things. But…
The main peak wouldn’t have anyone selling scarves. She had never seen Pei Lianxue wearing a scarf before.
“…”
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yunluo quickly followed. When she arrived in front of Feng Yudie’s triple courtyard, Pei Lianxue happened to land her sword in the courtyard.
“Lianxue!”
“Ah!” Pei Lianxue seemed to be startled by her. She trembled and looked at her in panic, “Yun… Yunluo? What’s wrong? Come here so early…”
Xiao Yunluo walked up, looked at the red scarf around her neck, and asked,
“Where did you get this scarf?”
“Oh, my senior brother knitted it for me. It’s very soft,” Pei Lianxue said happily and then handed the corner of the scarf over to Xiao Yunluo to touch it, “Want to touch it?”
Xiao Yunluo was stunned for a moment and then asked,
“Did your senior brother knit it? When was it given to you?”
“Just what I just gave…”
“Did you go to see your senior brother so early in the morning?”
“Ah…” Pei Lianxue was stunned for a moment, with a blush on her cheeks. After hesitating for a while, seeing that it was Xiao Yunluo, she simply told the truth, “Yunluo, actually… I stayed at my senior brother’s place last night.”
“…”
“Hehe… The senior brother asked me to go over and sleep with him every two days for the past two months.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yunluo looked surprised, but at the same time, she suddenly felt jealous in her heart.
“Sleep together? Could you!!!
“Well…” Pei Lianxue nodded and replied shyly, “Yunluo, I’m just telling you. In fact, I have been having sex with my senior brother for two months.”
“What?”
