Chapter 86: Invitation letter from Chilong Mansion
Ye Ao maintained a speechless state for a while before regaining his composure. Quickly, he tidied the collar of his slightly open coat, clenched his fist in front of his mouth, and coughed twice.
“Ahem… Young Master Xiao, please wait here. I have something to discuss privately with my son,” he said to Xiao Yunluo, who nodded in response.
Ye Ao then gave a subtle glance to Kong Yulan, indicating that she should serve tea and snacks to Xiao Yunluo. Afterwards, he promptly stood up and walked over to Ye Anping, grabbing his arm and forcefully pulling him out of the Heavenly Pavilion. Once they were far enough away that Xiao Yunluo couldn’t hear, Ye Ao looked at Ye Anping with a horrified expression.
There were numerous questions in Ye Ao’s mind that he wanted to ask his son, but he didn’t know where to start. After a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke, “How did you manage to bring back the daughter of Immortal Danyue?”
Ye Anping, anticipating his father’s reaction, sighed slightly and replied, “She came here for something, and I just showed her the way. What do you mean by bringing her back?”
“Something?” Ye Ao was puzzled, but after some thought, his eyes widened. “Could it be… you caused some big trouble?”
Ye Anping looked at him with disdain, “Dad, do you really think so bad of your son?”
“Then that girl came all the way to our sect because of you, right? If it weren’t for your actions, she wouldn’t have come here to seek justice,” Ye Ao accused.
“Dad, I just escorted her here. She came on her own,” Ye Anping defended himself.
Ye Ao interrupted, “You’ve never been a problem before, but this Xiao girl seems to be different. What about the previous girl, Feng? Wasn’t she good?”
Ye Anping, with a hint of embarrassment, admitted, “To be honest, she wasn’t that great.”
Ye Ao shook his head and warned, “In any case, don’t have any ideas about that girl. Remember what you told me last time about not aiming too high?”
“I never said I wanted her to be my Daoist companion,” Ye Anping shrugged, “You’re the one overthinking. She’s just here to deliver a message and use our spirit-gathering array to build a foundation.”
“What? Here to deliver a message?” Ye Ao was confused, “Why would a young lady like her do errands?”
“You’ll understand when you see the jade slips she brought,” Ye Anping replied.
After a moment of silence, Ye Ao asked, “So… you really got into trouble?”
“No… Why do you keep circling back to that?” Ye Anping retorted.
Deciding not to discuss it further with his father, Ye Anping changed the topic, “Dad, speaking of which, do we have any connection with Chilong Mansion?”
“Chilong Mansion?” Ye Ao, puzzled by the sudden mention of Chilong Mansion, asked, “Why? Do you want to go there? Why leave Xuanxing Sect and go there?”
Ye Anping smiled slightly and said, “I’m curious about the place where immortals and mortals meet. So, does the Hundred Lotus Sect have any connection with them?”
“That’s definitely… no.”
“Then, during the time I’m building my foundation, can you find a way to help get two invitations to next year’s Chilong Conference?”
“Ah! You want to go to the ‘Chilong Conference’! What is your cultivation level?” Ye Ao’s eyes looked strange, feeling that his son was inexplicable. “And two invitations? Who are you going with?”
“Junior Sister Pei.”
“Pei girl…” Ye Ao looked around and asked, “By the way, why didn’t Pei girl come back with you?”
“Junior sister is building the foundation at Xuanxing Sect.”
“Ah, I see,” Ye Ao thought for a moment and nodded, “Okay, it’s good to broaden your horizons.”
“Thank you, Dad,” Ye Anping said, arching his hand. “Another day, I’ll ask Immortal Danyue to accompany you for tea and chess.”
Ye Ao hesitated for a moment, then rolled his eyes at him.
“If you have the ability, call Immortal Danyue here. I’ll call you Dad, okay!”
“…”
Ye Anping shook his head and smiled, then walked back to the Heavenly Pavilion. When he returned, he saw Xiao Yunluo sitting next to his mother, blushing, while his mother had a motherly smile on her face.
After a brief thought, Ye Anping guessed what they had talked about.
“Xiao girl, do you like our Anping family?”
“?” Xiao Yunluo stood up blankly, and before she could speak, Kong Yulan nodded in understanding.
“The reaction is so big, I must like it. Xiao girl, Anping is so good, you see, he is so handsome…”
“Mrs. Ye… what did you say…”
Ye Ao also walked in from outside at this moment. He pretended to be a senior and asked Xiao Yunluo, “Young Master Xiao, I wonder why you are visiting my Hundred Lotus Sect this time?”
Xiao Yunluo was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and handed over a jade slip. “Ah… I received the order from Elder Qi of Xuanxing Sect to deliver this jade slip to Sect Master Ye.”
“Well, thank you for your hard work,” Ye Ao maturely nodded, took the jade slip, and looked at it with his spiritual consciousness.
In an instant, the mature look disappeared, and his eyes almost popped out.
“What? Xiao… Young Master Xiao, is this real?”
“Ah… I don’t know the contents of the jade slip, so Sect Master Ye should make his own decision.”
“…”
Ye Ao swallowed and glanced at Ye Anping beside him. After being silent for a while, he also said, “Anping, please take Young Master Xiao to rest first. You must be tired from travelling all the way.”
“I know.” Ye Anping glanced at the jade slip in his hand, then sighed suddenly, spread his hands and said, “Senior Sister Xiao, follow me.”
“Ah… um.” Xiao Yunluo nodded shyly, then bowed to Ye Ao and Kong Yulan and followed them.
After the two of them left the Heavenly Pavilion, Ye Ao went to close the door, sat back at the desk, and looked at the jade slips in his hands with a frown.
“Old man, what’s wrong? What’s written on it?”
“Two things. The first is that Xuanxing Sect took care of the spirit stone mine in Chiyun Valley for us, and the second is that Anping is asked to be Xiao Yunluo’s companion.”
“Isn’t this good?” Kong Yulan raised her eyebrows slightly, “I happened to ask just now that Xiao Yunluo obviously has a crush on our son Anping. That girl has a good temperament and a good-looking appearance, but she is short. That’s right.”
Ye Ao looked at her speechlessly,
“Yulan, that is the daughter of Immortal Danyue!!”
“Doesn’t that further prove how good our Anping is? That old monster actually attracted him and even arranged for him to be his only daughter’s companion… Anping is much more promising than you as a father.”
“…”
“Thinking back to when you were fifteen, you were chased by two dogs and stayed in a tree for three days and three nights. It was me who came to rescue you. Look at our Anping, he was also fifteen, but both of you are so different in this manner.”
Ye Ao was stunned for a while and suddenly asked, “Speaking of which, Yulan, why did you agree to become a Daoist partner with me in the first place?”
Kong Yulan looked at him speechlessly and hesitated for a while,
“He looks good, and he is quite honest and honest.”
Ye Ao raised his eyebrows, “Isn’t it because you had strange strength and weighed two hundred kilograms at that time, and others were unwilling to be your Daoist companion? Although you have become a fairy now…”
Swish——
A flash of light flashed on Kong Yulan’s right hand, and a whip appeared in her hand.
