Chapter 20: Arriving at Xuanxing Sect.
After taking a stroll with Feng Yudie in the flower sea, Ye Anping went to Pei Lianxue and explained the matter of accompanying her in her studies and the precautions after entering Xuanxing Sect.
Although Pei Lianxue was reluctant, insisting that she would be wherever he was, Ye Anping assured her that he would come to find her later. Only then did she agree to follow Feng Yudie to Xuanxing Sect.
A few days later, Feng Yudie recovered, and Ye Anping asked her to quickly take Pei Lianxue and leave Hundred Lotus Sect to avoid complications.
As for the reason for the urgency, it was because Kong Yulan always thought that Feng Yudie would have her son accompany her to study at Xuanxing Sect. If she found out that Feng Yudie had chosen Pei Lianxue instead, she would certainly create trouble for both Feng Yudie and Ye Anping.
Therefore, it wasn’t until several days after they left that Ye Ao and Kong Yulan discovered that the three of them had slipped away.
A month and a half later, Pei Lianxue and Feng Yudie finally arrived at Xuanxing Sect.
The sound of dusk drums echoed in the misty mountain peaks. Xuanxing Sect, situated above the clouds, had eighteen towering peaks. Due to a flying prohibition order, when the two approached the mountain gate, they were scolded by Xuanxing Sect disciples and told to put away their flying swords and walk up the mountain.
The mountain path resembled a temple fair, crowded with people, and stalls selling various items were set up every ten meters. Many were Xuanxing Sect disciples trying to earn extra income.
From skewers to low-level talismans and rare spiritual herbs, everything was available. However, prices varied, and some intentionally sold fake goods to earn more money. Despite this, the atmosphere was lively.
Walking on the mountain path, Pei Lianxue looked around, wishing her senior brother could be with her now instead of a white-haired vixen by her side. Moreover, this vixen had been chattering non-stop since the beginning.
“Junior Sister Pei, do you want to eat candied haws on a stick? I’ll buy it for you.”
“No, I only eat what my senior brother bought.”
“Junior Sister Pei, do you think that doll behaves well? Do you want it? I’ll buy it for you.”
“No, senior brother bought me a lot before.”
“These elixirs are not bad. Junior Sister Pei should also prepare some. I’ll pay for them!”
“No, senior brother prepared some for me when I came.”
Feng Yudie persisted despite Pei Lianxue’s disinterest. She wanted to make Pei Lianxue happy during the month and a half of their journey.
“Junior Sister Pei, you haven’t smiled in more than a month. Why don’t you tell me how I can make you happy.”
Pei Lianxue, annoyed by Feng Yudie’s persistence, thought for a moment and said coldly, “If you roll on the ground like a dog, I will be happy.”
Thinking this would silence Feng Yudie, Pei Lianxue underestimated her shamelessness. Feng Yudie immediately crawled in front of her, rolled on the ground, and pretended to be a puppy, raising her hands and sticking out her tongue.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!…”
Pei Lianxue was utterly embarrassed, and this move attracted the attention of everyone around. Blushing, she pretended not to know Feng Yudie and walked away quickly.
However, Feng Yudie, seeing Pei Lianxue blush, had a big smile on her face and quickly jumped after her.
“Woof woof, Junior Sister Pei, you finally smiled. You look so pretty when you smile. Do you smile more?”
“…” Pei Lianxue quickened her steps.
“Woof woof! Junior Sister Pei, don’t walk so fast! Woof woof!!”
Chased by Feng Yudie pretending to be a little dog, Pei Lianxue couldn’t take it anymore and kicked her. However, Feng Yudie took advantage and hugged her foot, refusing to let go.
“Woof woof!!”
“Ahhhh——!!”
Meanwhile, Ye Anping arrived at Xuanxing Sect’s marketplace. The day after Pei Lianxue and Feng Yudie left the Hundred Lotus Sect, he also left and went to the Xianjia Chamber of Commerce to obtain a merchant’s license.
As mentioned before, Feng Yudie could only bring one person into the Xuanxing Sect, and his qualifications did not meet the requirements for entry-level disciples, so Ye Anping thought about it for two days and thought of a way.
That was to open a store in Xuanxing Sect’s Workshop. This way he could stay closest to Xuanxing Sect. It would be very convenient for him to inquire about information within the Xuanxing Sect or to help his junior sister. At the same time, he could also make some money to buy some natural materials and treasures for himself and his junior sister that might be used in the future.
But when opening a store, he still needed to research the market. He hadn’t figured out what kind of store he wanted to open yet, so he just found a teahouse and sat down, ordered a pot, bought a copy of the weekly newspaper, and read it in the corner.
“Hey, have you heard?”
“Huh? What?”
“Just now, in front of the door, some cultivators who came to choose the door saw a girl pretending to be a puppy in front of another girl.”
Occasionally, he heard several cultivators wearing Xuanxing Sect clothes at the table next to him talking about this matter. Ye Anping suddenly had black lines hanging on his forehead one after another and sighed suddenly.
He heard about “pretending to be a puppy” and inexplicably remembered what Feng Yudie once did to the heroine in the game. In the game, the heroine is very cold to Feng Yudie at first. Feng Yudie tried to talk to her but was ignored. Finally, she asked her how to make her happy. As a result, the heroine asked her to dress up as a puppy and roll on the ground.
Then, without even thinking, Feng Yudie lay down on the ground and “woofed” twice in front of everyone, making the heroine’s eyebrows curl up, and she was in a good mood.
“Then Feng Yudie wouldn’t have done this to my junior sister, right?”
Ye Anping pinched his nose, drank a cup of tea, and came back to his senses. He looked at the other customers in the store and suddenly heard another table of Xuanxing Sect disciples who seemed to be low-level in martial arts complaining about today’s martial arts class. They were made to suffer from back pain by the elders, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he thought of something.
If he wanted to open a shop in the world of Xianxia that could facilitate him to inquire about news within the sect, restaurants and brothels would definitely be the first choices. This man would dare to spit out anything when he was drunk.
However, there were too many restaurants in Xuanxing City. If he wanted to open a restaurant, he would definitely not be able to win over those old brands. As for the brothel, he couldn’t open it at all, so he would have to rely on some independent cultivators to buy girls to serve as hostesses. However, there was an option similar to that of a brothel.
Ye Anping thought about it briefly, then immediately paid for the tea, went to the shop registration point in Fang City, got a sign, and submitted his “Shop License Application Order.”
The disciple of Xuanxing Sect, who was reviewing shop registration, looked at the application he submitted, looking left and right, and finally choked out a sentence.
“Fellow Daoist, what does physical therapy mean?”
Ye Anping looked at the Xuanxing Sect senior sister sitting opposite him. After a pause, he replied, “It is a massage method that I learned from a casual cultivator in my early years. It may not be easy to say just that. Clearly, if seniors are free, how about I give you a try now? If a Senior thinks it is good, he can recommend it to fellow seniors in the future.”
The senior sister twisted her eyebrows and looked around. There were quite a few people in the room coming to do shop procedures, so she asked, “Can you do your physical therapy here?”
Ye Anping raised his eyebrows, “Well, you will know after you experience it.”
