Chapter 358: Junior sister, secretly! Hiding it from senior brother!
The dusk dyed the woman’s plain white skirt red, and the clear-eyed fire phoenix on her shoulder seemed to replace her closed eyes, adding a little solemnity to her originally weak appearance.
Li Longling used her eyes to look at the benefactor in front of her whom she had not seen for nearly six years, and she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
Seeing Ye Anping’s dull expression, she thought that he had forgotten about her. She felt quite depressed for a moment, so she reminded him in a low voice, “Senior Ye, I haven’t seen him since the incident at Chilong Mansion six years ago. I wonder if you still remember this junior?”
As everyone knew, Ye Anping was just in a daze. He remembered that when he and his junior sister left, Li Longling had just completed her Qi refining, and six years later, she had become a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
The key was that the temperament had changed a lot. In his impression, Li Longling originally looked a bit frail, but she probably grew a little taller, with a majestic fire phoenix on her shoulders, and her temperament became a bit intimidating.
Ye Anping looked around, hesitated for a while, and quickly bowed his hands, “How could I not remember? I just didn’t expect Master Li to come here. If you have something to discuss with the Hundred Lotus Sect, then you should go to the Hundred Lotus Sect. Why are you here?”
Li Longling suddenly felt dissatisfied when she heard his question and said, “Senior Ye, aren’t you asking questions knowingly?”
“Um!”
“This junior has nothing else to do when she comes to the Hundred Lotus Sect. She just comes to see his benefactor.”
Li Longling didn’t mince words, she stepped forward quickly, opened her arms, threw herself into Ye Anping’s arms, hugged his waist tightly, and put her forehead on his chest, “If it weren’t for Senior Ye, I would have died in the Chilong Mansion six years ago. The current prosperity of Chilong Mansion and this junior’s life are all given by Senior Ye…”
“…”
Ye Anping couldn’t help being pushed back a step by her. A wisp of breeze swept by, carrying the faint floral fragrance from Li Longling’s hair into the tip of his nose.
Vaguely, Ye Anping felt a little wetness on his collar. Li Longling didn’t know whether she was excited or something, but she squeezed out two tears from the corners of her tightly closed eyes and held her hands on his back with a little more force. She probably had a lot to say to herself, but she couldn’t find the words to say.
Since her father’s death, the Chilong Mansion had been solely supported by her. Because she was the only one, no matter how many grievances she suffered, she had no one to talk to, and no matter what difficulties she encountered, she had to face them alone. Besides, she had a disease in both eyes and didn’t have many friends.
In the past six years, she must have suffered a lot. But even so, under her leadership, Chilong Mansion got out of the haze caused by his father and the demon cultivator and turned from decline to prosperity.
Looking at ancient and modern times, this was a remarkable move. Ye Anping let out a breath, thinking that Li Longling probably regarded him as someone like Li Feng, and wanted to talk to him about the anguish that had accumulated in his heart over the past six years.
“…Amazing, amazing.” Ye Anping raised his hand to hug her back and caress her, as he had done before when he praised his junior sister.
However, before his hands touched Li Longling’s back, the fire phoenix standing on Li Longling’s shoulders directly poked his face with its beaks.
?
Ye Anping slowly turned his head to look, only to see the fire phoenix staring at him eagerly, as if to say—If you dare to touch my master, I will peck your eyes out!!
“…”
Speaking of which, this fire phoenix was also a strange beast in the immortal realm. Its habits were just like the color of its feathers. It was extremely violent and could not be touched by anyone except its own master. It could be said to be a Tibetan mastiff among birds.
Although it wasn’t impossible to defeat it, Ye Anping didn’t want to mess with it. “Master Li, this fire phoenix is the same one from back then…”
“Yes.” Li Longling nodded, slowly let go of Ye Anping’s waist, and raised her hand to gently scratch Fire Phoenix’s chin, “It’s the young phoenix from back then. I named it Ah Feng.”
Li Longling touched Ah Feng’s feathers and said, “Ah Feng, this is the benefactor who helped me treat my eyes. You should still remember it.”
Hearing this, Fire Phoenix stared at Ye Anping and raised her head, then turned away her bird’s head, showing a cold expression.
Chirp——
Although there was indeed a lot to say, this was not a good place to talk. After Ye Anping was silent for a while, he also jumped on the flying sword, stretched out his hand, and said, “Master Li, this is not the place to talk. Come on, hold out your hand. I will take you to the Hundred Lotus Sect.”
“…Um.” Li Longling pursed her lips and smiled, without using her consciousness to look. She just stretched out her hand in the direction of Ye Anping’s voice, and Ye Anping grabbed her, pulled her to stand on his flying sword, and then the two of them wielded it together. With one sword strike, he headed towards the Hundred Lotus Sect’s mountain peak in the east.
…
Within the Hundred Lotus Sect, the endless mountains were dyed dark red by the setting sun. Thousands of inner disciples of the Hundred Lotus Sect responded to Ye Ao’s call at this moment and gathered in the square in front of the main hall of the sect, chatting with each other.
Liang Ahting went back to her house before, dressed up like Miss Jiaojiao, specially put some rouge on her face, and stood in front of the Heavenly Pavilion with a sword on her back. Because her cultivation level was still low, and she had grown taller in the past two and a half years, she was no longer the short and arrogant little girl she used to be.
It was probably inherited from Tong Zilan, and her body developed quite quickly. She was even taller than Pei Lianxue and became a grown-up mature girl.
“Father, uncle, why hasn’t he come back yet?” Liang Ahting asked.
“What’s the rush?” Liang Zhu glanced at her coldly and said, “I don’t think you need to come over.”
“It’s not necessary. That’s my sixth uncle! Unlike my aunt, he was very kind to me before. I miss him after we haven’t seen him for so long.”
Liang Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly, “Do you miss him?”
“Yes! My uncle is a nice person, handsome and rich, and his cultivation level is now higher than that of my adoptive father. I will try to curry favor with him! Hehehe…”
When Liang Zhu heard this, he always felt strange in his heart. He felt as if he had been deceived. He felt that he would emphasize the Uncle’s relationship to his sixth brother later.
After a moment, a flying sword, carrying two people and a bird, slowly landed in front of the Heavenly Pavilion. Everyone turned away and was stunned for a moment when they saw Ye Anping hugging a Foundation Establishment-stage woman with her eyes closed.
Liang Zhu thought about it for a while, then remembered that it was Li Feng’s daughter from Chilong Mansion, and was speechless.
Ye Anping calmly took Li Longling off the flying sword, then waved the flying sword back into the storage bag and looked at the four people in front of him.
Liang Zhu, Ye Wan’er, and Tong Zilan were not much different from his impression, but…
“Are you Ahting?” Seeing Ye Anping looking at him, he paused for a long time before he said this sentence uncertainly, Liang Ahting covered her mouth smiled, and ran up quickly, “Hey, uncle, don’t you recognize it?”
Liang Ahting raised her chest and her head, showing off to Ye Anping her little breast, which was bigger than her aunt’s, making Ye Anping feel a little scared.
Now he only felt that Liang Zhu was glaring at him with a resentful and murderous look. “Well, you girl have grown a lot taller.”
“Hehe!” Liang Ahting smiled with satisfaction, then quickly took out a small box from the storage bag and said, “Uncle, congratulations on forming the core. This is the gift Ahting prepared for you!”
Ye Anping patted her head, “Thank you.”
However, after Li Longling heard this, she became a little nervous for no reason and pursed her lips slightly.
Ye Anping didn’t even look at what it was. After putting it in his storage bag, he walked directly to Liang Zhu and asked bluntly, “Brother Liang, the Sixth Brother is out of seclusion after forming a core. Brother, don’t you think so?”
“Oh, you are so weak.” Liang Zhu rolled his eyes at him, waved his hand, and took out a stone tablet and coffin from his storage bag, “No, your eldest brother gave you a red oak coffin and a pure jade tombstone. ”
The corners of Ye Anping’s eyes twitched slightly, but then he felt relieved and cupped his hands to express his thanks, “Thank you, Brother Liang. By the way, aren’t you planning to form a core?”
“I’ll go there in a while.”
“Okay, when Brother Liang completes his core, the sixth brother will naturally prepare a big gift in return.”
“…”
Liang Zhu naturally rolled his eyes at him but did not continue the topic. Instead, he became serious and asked, “You have been making a lot of noise about forming cores before. I’m afraid I can’t hide this matter anymore. You, the young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect, have become famous. You have the qualifications to form the Heavenly Dao Golden Core with dual spiritual roots. This is not good news.”
“There’s no other way, we can’t hide this kind of thing.” Ye Anping shrugged slightly, saying it didn’t matter, “But what does the young master of Hundred Lotus Sect’s core formation have to do with me, Jiang Ziya?” Liang Zhu understood the words and nodded.
After greeting Liang Zhu and others for a few words, Ye Anping first asked him to take Li Longling to settle down in the Hundred Lotus Sect and then walked into the gate of the Heavenly Pavilion alone.
After watching Ye Anping go in, Li Longling also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t know that Ye Anping was forming a core when she came before, so she didn’t prepare any gifts. It would be embarrassing if Ye Anping asked her for it later, but fortunately, Ye Anping didn’t ask her for it.
“Sight…”
“Master Li, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I will take you to the guest hall first.”
“…It’s time to work.”
Li Longling nodded, looked in the direction of the Heavenly Pavilion with fire phoenix eyes, thinking about the gift, and then followed Liang Zhu towards the Hundred Lotus Sect Guest Hall.
…
After entering the Heavenly Pavilion, Ye Anping was naturally greeted by her mother’s chest-hugging hug, and by Ye Ao’s proud eyes.
Served tea, greeted each other, saluted…
After going through the required etiquette, the family of three also sat at a tea table next to the bed.
Ye Ao personally helped Ye Anping mix a cup of tea, “Your boy is amazing, have you reached the golden core formation stage?”
“It’s just good luck.” Ye Anping smiled bitterly, shook his head, and asked, “Back to business, didn’t Lianxue form a core four months ago? Why haven’t I seen her?”
After hearing this, Ye Ao chuckled, stroked his long beard, and said, “Haha, you have just formed the core, and now you miss your wife?”
“We haven’t seen each other for two years, how can I not think about it? But secondly, I’m just a little confused. With Junior Sister’s temperament, she will come back immediately after forming a core.”
Ye Ao shook his head helplessly, turned to look at Kong Yulan, and gave her a look, “Yulan, go get it.”
“What to take?” Ye Anping frowned and couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Tian, who had been lying on top of him, but Xiao Tian quickly shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know anything.
Kong Yulan got up and walked to the bookcase on the first floor of the Heavenly Pavilion. She rummaged around for a while, took out a jade slip, and took it back, “Ping’er, Pei girl sent it to you last month. You were forming core at the time, so we couldn’t disturb you.”
Ye Anping took the jade slip and looked up with a sword in his hand:
——”Mrs. Kong, please wait for my senior brother to form the core. Please convey to my senior brother that Yun Luo and I are going to Han Tian Kingdom in the Northern Territory to collect some elixirs due to the Xuanxing Sect’s sect mission so that he doesn’t have to worry. About the end of the year, we will come back.”
“Han Tian Kingdom…” Ye Anping withdrew his consciousness and frowned a little.
Junior sister and Xiao Yunluo went to Han Tian Kingdom!
Although the jade slips say “Collecting medicine”, there were indeed many rare elixirs in Han Tian, but…
Was collecting herbs more important than meeting a senior brother she hadn’t seen in two years?
This was not because he was jealous, but Ye Anping felt that the logic of this matter was not in line with his junior sister’s temperament.
Moreover, if she wanted to collect spiritual medicine, she could wait for him to come out of seclusion and take him along with her. He concluded that the junior sister was hiding something from him, and it was related to the Han Tian Kingdom.
Han Tianguo also agreed at this time that the main event happened at the right time. It was difficult to say whether the two of them would be involved directly by accident…
No, it would be involved.
When junior sisters and Xiao Yunluo went to Han Tian Kingdom, Feng Yudie followed them. The divine transformation cultivators were attracted to each other, so Feng Yudie would encounter Gu Mingxin.
Ye Anping was silent for a while and asked, “When was this jade slip delivered?”
“About three and a half months ago.” Kong Yulan looked at his serious expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Mom, please help me change to a faster-flying sword. I’m going to the Han Tian Kingdom.”
When Ye Ao heard this, he immediately became serious, “Ping’er, that means something big is going to happen in Han Tian Kingdom!”
“?”
Ye Anping’s lips and teeth were slightly open. He didn’t want to admit it, but he had to admit it, “Um.”
“…”
Ye Ao frowned, nodded, and said, “Then I will select some experienced disciples of the Hundred Lotus Sect soon and ask them to follow you there. In any case, they can also be of help to you.”
“No need.” Ye Anping raised his hand to interrupt and said, “The Hundred Lotus Sect is too small now, and there are not many cultivators in the core formation stage in the sect. Besides, it is much more convenient and secretive for me to act alone.”
Ye Ao twisted his eyebrows and said, “How about, from me and your mother, and you choose one of us to go with you? Your mother and I are also core-formation cultivators, and we won’t hold you back.”
Holding him back…
Ye Anping always felt that these words sounded strange. After thinking for a while, he still shook his head and refused, saying, “Dad, mother…”
“Um.”
“I don’t care much about this world. Apart from the two of you, there are only my junior sisters and the others… I can’t let you accompany me and put yourself in danger. Going to the Han Tian Kingdom is very dangerous. Besides, you have never been there before. Without experience in fighting demonic cultivators, I can’t lead you.”
“Then you don’t have anyone to accompany you on the road, and we don’t worry about it, right? Pei girl used to follow you. Why do you bring someone to accompany you now? It’s nice to have someone to take care of you on the road, and the Northern Domain is far away.”
“…” Ye Anping lowered his eyes and thought for a while. Although it was not a matter of care, it was not a bad idea to have an insurance policy.
But who should he take with him?
Brother Liang was preparing to form a core, so he would not think about it for now.
Although Tong Zilan was in the core formation stage, she mastered alchemy. She was very good at refining alchemy and making talismans, but her combat power was negligible.
Ye Wan’er’s escape and escaping skills were very good, but her stealing and escaping skills were of no use to Gu Mingxin. Moreover, she had a character that would run away if there was danger, and she might betray herself.
Li Longling…
“Well, I have someone chosen. Parents, please don’t worry and help me prepare a faster magic weapon.”
