Chapter 359: Senior brother, look at the moon and think about love
“Ping’er, you don’t want to show your face in front of the disciples of our sect?” Ye Ao asked.
“No, I don’t like showing off to others. As I said before, I’m just an ordinary person…” Ye Anping replied.
“Haha… Ordinary dual spiritual root cultivators cannot form the golden heavenly core.”
“…” Ye Anping showed a helpless smile, bowed his hands, and left with his sword under the watch of Ye Ao and Kong Yulan.
After Ye Anping left, Ye Ao’s old eyes suddenly filled with emotion, and he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, “Hey – this kid… Is he my son?”
Ten years ago, even if Ye Ao had dreamed, he would not have dreamed that Ye Anping could go so far on the road to immortality. Even if he saw it with his own eyes now, he couldn’t help but feel a little dazed.
He even had the idea that Ye Anping was the child of Kong Yulan and a certain powerful cultivator, but he turned around and looked at Kong Yulan beside him, and immediately put this idea aside.
His wife, after all, weighed two hundred pounds before marriage. Even if those wealthy cultivators were looking for slaves, they would never be towards his wife, even though she had become a graceful and beautiful woman now.
Kong Yulan looked at Ye Ao’s silly smiling face, frowned, raised her hand, and grabbed his ear, “Old man, what are you thinking about?”
“Nothing, nothing… Yulan, how about we work harder and get a girl for Ping’er?” Kong Yulan rolled her eyes at him, but after hesitating for a while, she waved her hand to close the Heavenly Pavilion door, “How old are you? You’re still giving Ping’er a girl… We might as well cultivate hard so that we can at least help Ping’er in the future. Just now, Ping’er thought that we would hold him back and wouldn’t let us follow him to Han Tian Kingdom.”
“Ah! How can I still cultivate at this old age…”
“Dual cultivation!” Kong Yulan frowned, turned, and walked towards the second floor of the Heavenly Pavilion, “wash yourself up, I’ll go back to the house and wait.”
“Oh…”
…
After coming out of the Heavenly Pavilion, Ye Anping also walked around the Hundred Lotus Sect and visited some aunts and uncles who had watched him and Pei Lianxue grow up.
Almost all of those people were elders in the sect since his parents established the Hundred Lotus Sect. Although their cultivation had almost reached the foundation-building stage and there was no possibility of improvement in the future, he respected them from the bottom of his heart.
In the former Hundred Lotus Sect, although the disciples in the sect had little achievements in cultivation, the disciples and elders in the sect were as close as family members, and there was no status difference based on their level of cultivation.
There was no intrigue, just treating people like family. This was probably the main reason why many once-powerful cultivators liked to treat a small sect as a place of refuge.
When Ye Anping returned to the attic in the city, it was almost dusk. He re-paved the second-floor spirit gathering formation, then sat cross-legged in it, and began to feel the changes brought about by the golden core in his body.
The golden core in the belly was like a second spiritual sea, constantly purifying the water and wood spiritual energy in the meridians. Therefore, many spells that usually required the assistance of talismans could now be released by just waving a hand and condensing tactics.
The divine consciousness that could only be expanded to ten miles away could be extended to a hundred miles away. The most important thing was that the upper limit of Yang Qi that could be stored in the meridians was much higher, so he didn’t have to worry about the explosion of his Yang Qi in a short time.
Ye Anping originally wanted to abolish the Nine Yuan Heart Technique he had learned and change it to another technique after forming the core, so that he would not have to worry about the Yang Qi bursting out in the future. But the time it took to form the core was slightly longer than he expected, taking nearly six months longer. Therefore, he didn’t have time to learn a new skill.
The top priority was to catch up with Junior Sister as soon as possible.
If only the three of them, Junior Sister, Feng Yudie, and Xiao Yunluo met Gu Mingxin, the winning rate would be less than 50%, which would be zero if rounded off. He didn’t want to be late.
After condensing his breath for a while, Ye Anping slowly opened his eyes and called out, “Xiao Tian.”
Suddenly, he felt a warm feeling coming from the center of his eyebrows, and Xiao Tian came out directly from the center of his eyebrows, holding a wooden hammer and nails in his hand.
“Um! What’s wrong? I’m renovating my new home…”
Ye Anping didn’t know how to evaluate it. He had felt Xiao Tian’s annoyance these days, and he could hear crackling sounds in his consciousness from time to time.
“Huh…” He let out a long breath and said, “Go to Senior Sister Feng first and tell her that I will be there as soon as possible. If you encounter Gu Mingxin in advance, try not to get entangled and run away first and wait until I arrive. ”
Xiao Tian twisted his eyebrows when he heard this, and then remembered the black relative he saw during the Emperor’s sect before, and asked,
“Gu Mingxin!” Will she also go to the Hantian Kingdom?”
“Um…”
“Anping, I’ve wanted to ask you a long time ago, how do you know what will happen somewhere?” It’s not written on the scroll of the heavenly Dao. “Xiao Tian wandered up to Ye Anping, winked at him, and said, “Please tell me everything, I won’t tell Yudie.”
“I am not telling.”
“Ugh…” Xiao Tian flattened his mouth in dissatisfaction, hugged his chest, and turned away, “Huh!”
Ye Anping frowned, “It’s useless to get angry, go!”
“But…” Xiao Tian looked at the wooden hammer in his hand, “My new house hasn’t been decorated yet.”
“Go!”
“I know! …Why are you so fierce…” Xiao Tian curled his lips, turned around Ye Anping’s head again, stood on his shoulders, hugged his face, and kissed him, “Chirp~~ Anping, I’m not here to take care of yourself~”
?
“Go quickly!”
“Woo~~”
Xiao Tian pouted to show his dissatisfaction but didn’t say anything. He got into Ye Anping’s head, took a bundle, carried it on his back, and flew out of the attic window.
Ye Anping walked to the window and watched it fly away, then sighed and raised his hand to touch his face.
“…”
Perhaps he was so focused on forming a core some time ago that he hadn’t noticed yet. But the kiss Xiao Tian gave him just now was different from before. In other words, it felt tactile.
Although there was still a gap compared to the contact between people, it was no longer the feeling of a breeze sweeping by, but more like touching a ball of soft and warm cotton…
He still remembered the way Xiao Tian got out of Xiao Yunluo’s belly button before. Xiao Yunluo didn’t feel anything at all at that time. Moreover, when Xiao Tian was on top of his head if he didn’t pay attention deliberately, he would easily forget that it was still on his head…
“…Is it caused by me and Feng Yudie’s core? That’s all.” Ye Anping thought for a while and stopped thinking about it. In the end, this was not a problem, and in a sense, it was a good thing.
Then he stood up from the spirit gathering formation, walked to the desk in the room, took out his pen and ink, and started to draw circles on the paper——Han Tian Kingdom incident, strategy plan…
…
A full moon slowly rose to the center of the starry sky. Ye Anping made a rough plan, packed his luggage, and walked out of the attic door.
When he saw the full moon in the sky, he also felt a little emotional,
“Xi Yue…” The lover of his dreams when he was young must be twelve years old now.
He seemed to reflect Xi Yue’s face on the silver surface of the moon.
The next moment, Si Xuanji’s face suddenly appeared again and kicked Xi Yue out of the moon.
“…”
After all, the heartless old woman used the vest of “Master Xuanji” to tease him for two and a half years, and even dumped him…
Ye Anping’s face suddenly became filled with black lines. He quickly shook his head and put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, “Junior sister and Yun Luo are important!”
Saying this, Ye Anping stepped on the flying sword, and the sword flew toward the direction of the Hundred Lotus Sect’s guest hall.
…
In a boudoir in the guest hall, Li Longling was sitting cross-legged in the spirit gathering array, infusing her whole body with spiritual energy. Although she could see the sunrise and sunset through the eyes of birds and beasts thanks to the symbols Ye Anping had carved into her body with physical therapy six years ago, but as Ye Anping said at the time, that was also a temporary solution.
With her current cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, she could maintain the spell for about four to five hours at most at a time.
Out of sight for nearly half of the day. Probably because of this, in the past six years, she had been assassinated once or twice almost every month. Most of the assassins’ employers were her father’s former enemies. Because they couldn’t offend her father, they had to endure it before, but after her father’s death, they sprang up like wasps.
One after another, there was no way to eradicate the root causes. If her father hadn’t left her many loyal Chilong Mansion guards, she might have gone directly with her father after Ye Anping left…
However, even with the protection of the Chilong Palace Guards, Li Longling would still instinctively feel scared every night. It felt like walking blindfolded on a path full of traps and sharp blades, never knowing what you would step on next.
Several times, she wanted to give up, and even curled up in the quilt and refused to go out. But every time she thought of Ye Anping, she would welcome the dawn of the next day with enthusiasm.
Cultivators in the world needed a Daoist heart to walk on the path of immortality. If there was no Daoist mind, a cultivator could easily fall into the wrong path.
It was her father Li Feng who once supported her Daoist heart. But now, her Daoist intention was to repay Ye Anping’s kindness. Until this kindness was repaid, she had to grit her teeth and persevere no matter what.
“Sigh…”
Tread——
Two gentle footsteps sneaked into the house with the wind. Li Longling, who had keen senses, immediately twitched her ears and subconsciously thought that an assassin was coming. However, after thinking that she was in the Hundred Lotus Sect, she felt a little more at ease.
She turned to face the bird standing at the rear left and asked, “Ah Feng… who is here?”
The fire phoenix standing on the bird stand stared at Ye Anping who climbed into the house through the window, causing Ye Anping to stop five feet away from Li Longling with an embarrassed look on his face.
Although this fire phoenix was not as eloquent as Si Xuanji’s parrot, its eyes were much more lively than those of the parrot: If you take one step closer to my master, I will peck you to death!!
As expected of a phoenix, just in terms of this aura, she looked much more majestic and domineering than an old woman…
Ye Anping was a little helpless and said, “It’s me.”
Hearing Ye Anping’s voice, Li Longling immediately relaxed completely. After thinking for a while, she asked in a playful tone, “Is it Young Master Ye of the Hundred Lotus Sect? Or Young Master Jiang of the Dragon Slaying Society? Or Young Master Ye of the Xuanxing Sect? Or Young Master Yun of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect?”
Ye Anping didn’t expect that she would ask this, and chuckled, “Just think of him as Young Master Ye of Xuanxing Sect.”
“In this way…” That means you come to me if you have something important to do, not just come to visit me…
Li Longling was a little disappointed, stood up slowly, turned around, and walked towards him. It was just that there was no light in this room, so she couldn’t see his fingers.
If it weren’t for the eyes at the core formation stage, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to see anything. Li Longling didn’t look like a blind person reaching out. She naturally came to the round table in the room and took out a spiritual stone lamp to light it.
“Isn’t this better?”
“It’s not necessary, I can see it.”
“I can’t see.”
Li Longling curled her lips and raised her hand slightly, and the fire phoenix originally on the bird stand fell directly on her arm, “Feng can’t see clearly at night. I also have a cat, but I didn’t take it with me this time.”
Ye Anping raised his eyebrows slightly, “Master Li is practicing the Beast Control Technique!”
“Um.” Li Longling sat at the table, asked the fire phoenix to look at Ye Anping, and said,
“I originally studied swordsmanship with my father, but after all, I can’t see with both eyes. Although it’s not impossible, I can’t control my sword skills. So in the past few years, I collected some beast control techniques and raised some spiritual pets. It can just make up for my eyesight problem.”
“This is not a bad way to go.”
“It’s a pity that the upper limit of cultivators who can control beasts is quite low. If you can’t tame a powerful spiritual pet, you have done nothing…”
When Li Longling said this, she shook her head. She knew that Ye Anping liked to express his feelings directly, so she went straight to the point and asked, “Master Ye, what do you want to discuss with me?”
This girl was really smart. She had learned almost all of Li Feng’s advantages in life…
Ye Anping couldn’t help but sigh, and simply said bluntly, “Master Li, I have something to ask you for help.”
“Please say.”
“I hope you can accompany me on a trip to the Northern Domain.” Ye Anping nodded and requested, “I’m afraid this trip will take more than half a year. I will ensure your safety, Master Li, and after the matter is completed, I will pay you.”
Hearing this, Li Longling felt that it was a surprise, but after thinking about it, she didn’t interrupt and just asked, “…remuneration?”
“How about a Qinshui Jiao? As the master of Chilong Mansion, you must have no shortage of spiritual stones and natural materials. The only things I can come up with are the things I know.”
“…”
Li Longling couldn’t help but sigh. It was self-evident that she wanted something more than the Qinshui Jiao. But now listening to Ye Anping’s tone, she felt that it was not the right time to say it, so she nodded in agreement and said, “Good.”
“Do you agree with this? You might as well discuss it with me. This is my visit, so you should sit down and raise the price.”
“Young Master Ye, it’s true. If I don’t raise the price, wouldn’t you benefit? Do you still want me to raise the price?” Li Longling thought for a while and then asked, “Is it because I agreed too quickly, and you won’t trust me?”
“I don’t think so, but this trip to the Northern Domain will be full of crises… You…”
Li Longling smiled and interrupted, “What’s the point of being in danger when I’m with my benefactor? In the six years since my benefactor left, I have been in danger day by day. I don’t know how many people in the four realms want my life.”
“…”
“I don’t want to say these depressing words anymore. How long will it take to leave?”
“Now.”
“Ah!”
“It’s an urgent matter. I’ll tell you the details on the way down.”
Ye Anping stood up and took a step forward. He wanted to pick up Li Longling and leave with his sword, but he was immediately greeted by Ah Feng’s glare. In desperation, he had to raise his hand and ask, “Does Master Li have other matters?”
“I haven’t been able to see Sect Master Ye today. I wonder if this… Wouldn’t it be good? When you come to the Hundred Lotus Sect, you should also pay homage to Sect Master…”
“My father doesn’t care about this, just worship me.”
I did not mean that! I just want to hint to your parents about the possibility of a marriage between the Hundred Lotus Sect and the Chilong Mansion…
Li Longling pursed her lips, feeling helpless, and nodded,
“Hey – okay, let me clean it up.”
“Why sigh?”
“Mr. Ye…” Li Longling said resentfully, “Are you incomprehensible sometimes? Is it intentional? Or do you not know?”
Ye Anping shrugged helplessly and said with a smile, “Just think of it as the latter.”
“That’s intentional. That’s all…” Li Longling shook her head, held the fire phoenix, and walked back to the spirit-gathering array to collect the heavenly materials placed there.
