Chapter 403: Senior brother, everyone loves you
At noon, Heavenly Cloud Peak disciples were coming and going in front. Along with the new disciples who passed the sword test, people such as servants, book boys, or accompanying students all lived in the disciple residences on each peak.
These people were collectively referred to as the “outer disciples” of the Xuanxing Sect and were managed by specialized outer sect elders. If there were chores such as sweeping mountain roads or cleaning up martial arts grounds, they would be left to complete them.
Ye Anping’s sword fell in front of the disciples. He showed his identity card to the disciple who was guarding the door and went to the steward’s office. He asked about the location of the small courtyard where Hongyu and Liang Ahting were currently staying and then found the way to go there…
After searching along the winding paths for about a quarter of an hour, he came to the door of a small courtyard with a somewhat old facade.
Swish–
There were rhythmic sounds of sweeping the floor inside the courtyard wall. Ye Anping walked to the door and knocked the door knocker gently.
Bang bang——
The sound of sweeping the floor stopped suddenly, and soon the door was opened from the inside. Hongyu, wearing the lavender robe of an outer disciple, poked her head out and saw Ye Anping. There was a little surprise in her eyes, but soon she showed surprise:
“Master Ye is here?”
Ye Anping didn’t understand the origin of her surprise. He was silent for a while, nodded slightly, and said, “Just a quick visit, I need something…”
Before he could finish speaking, Hongyu gently pulled his sleeve, entered the courtyard, asked him to sit down on the stone table in the courtyard, and whispered, “Master Ye, wait a moment, I’ll call Miss Liang.”
“Ah…”
Ye Anping wanted to say that he was here to find her, but as soon as he reached out his hand, and before he could say anything, he saw Hongyu rushing into the house.
He felt a little strange.
Is Hongyu impatient? Ye Anping doesn’t think so.
After all, Hongyu was the personal maid who stayed with Tong Zilan when she was the empress. She should be very calm in her actions. Why didn’t she just listen to what he said…
Xiao Tian, who was sitting on his head, also tilted his head in confusion, “Anping, why is this girl so weird…”
Ye Anping responded with a shrug but didn’t think much about it. However, after hearing the next movement in the room, his brows furrowed slightly.
“Sister Hongyu! What are you doing… Oh, I don’t want to put on rouge! It tastes terrible!! Oh! Don’t pull my clothes!! Oh! My hairpin!!”
“Miss Liang, be obedient! This is what Senior Tong has prepared for you…”
“I don’t like it!! I don’t…”
…
Hearing this, Ye Anping frowned deeper and deeper. It sounded like Hongyu was helping Ahting dress up and put on makeup, and she also said that Tong Zilan prepared it for her…
As the saying goes, women should look good to those they want to please.
What Tong Zilan means…
“Anping, why am I hearing this? That empress want to make a couple with Ating and you?”
Xiao Tian has heard it, so why can’t he hear it?
Ye Anping raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. After a simple logic, he understood the reason.
First of all, the “Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal”, the sacred object of the Emperor’s sect, now recognized him as its master.
Secondly, Tong Zilan and Si Xuanji had talked on the way back from the Emperor Sect, and she should have seen her trust in him from Si Xuanji’s few words. From these two points alone, Tong Zilan should be thinking that if Ahting could marry him, he would be able to give Ah Ting a carefree and happy future.
Ye Anping felt that Tong Zilan might want to make up for Ah Ting’s decades of wandering with Brother Liang. He shook his head slightly, feeling a little mixed in his heart.
——Why does everyone like to send girls to him?
Then, Ye Anping showed a helpless smile and laughed at himself, “This young master is loved by everyone.”
Xiao Tian was stunned for a moment, twisted his eyebrows, and looked at Ye Anping’s face. He vaguely remembered hearing this sentence from Yu Die before.
However, when Yu Die said this, he wanted to kick Yu Die. But now, when listening to Ye Anping say these words…
“Yes, yes, Anping is brave, resourceful and talented.” “Xiao Tian’s cheeks turned red, she jumped on his shoulders, grabbed his face, and kissed him, “Hey~. If I were a human being, I would marry you Anping…”
The smile on Ye Anping’s face froze instantly, and he couldn’t help but tremble. He turned his face and glanced at Xiao Tian with a look of horror, and then took a breath of cold air.
“Hiss–”
“Hehe~.”
Hehe, you are a scroll of heavenly Dao…
Ye Anping rolled his eyes at it. At that time, the door to the main room in the small courtyard was also pushed open. Liang Ahting put on a delicate pink dress, with two light cyan ribbons tied in her back hair, and she clutched her skirt with an uneasy look on her face. Hongyu held her shoulders and pushed her out of the door.
As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.
The first time Ye Anping saw Liang Ahting, his first reaction was “Who is this?”
Although it may not be as obvious as Yun Jiujiu wearing a skirt, the image change is at least almost 80%.
Liang Ahting, who was originally lively and somewhat naughty, now dressed up like this, really had the soft complexion of a scholarly lady. After all, Liang Ahting was also the princess “Nangong Cheng” of the Emperor’s sect.
If Liang Ahting had grown up under the guidance of Tong Zilan and the emperor’s elders, instead of wandering around with Liang Zhu, maybe she would have become an exquisite fairy like Li Longling…
“What are you doing, Sister Hongyu…”
Liang Ah Ting was pushed out of the house by Hong Yu in an awkward manner, but after seeing Ye Anping sitting on a stone bench in the yard, the look of complaint on her face disappeared instantly, and she quickly ran up with her skirt in hand:
“Uncle!! You are here?!”
“Yeah.” Ye Anping nodded slightly, “The clothes are quite nice…”
“…Well, does it look good? Sister Hongyu insists on letting me wear it like this.”
Liang Ahting twisted her body, looked at her butt, and said, “I have never worn such a long skirt before. My adoptive father said that this kind of skirt is exaggerated and impractical. He used to buy me short skirts and let me wear a pair of shorts underneath. I can jump around casually without worrying about being exposed…”
“Like the young master of a large sect.”
Liang Ahting suddenly understood, hugging her chest, and nodded, “Oh! I see, Ahting knows uncle’s food!”
Ye Anping was stunned: “What?”
“My uncle just likes the young masters of the big sect.” Liang Ahting blinked her eyes and said with a playful smile, “Like Sister Xiao, Sister Li, and so on. On the way to Xuanxing Sect, Ahting heard that Sister Li kissed Uncle in public~ Will my uncle give Ahting many cousins in the future? By the way, what number is Sister Li? ”
“…”
After several questions in a row, Ye Anping didn’t know how to answer, so he simply asked, “You girl, do you know where your cousins are from?”
“Of course, I know. When I was at Chilong Mansion, didn’t my aunt give me a little book? On it…”
Ahting didn’t mention it, but Ye Anping almost forgot that when he was at the Chilong Mansion, his junior sister directly gave Liang Ahting a copy of “The Erotic Pictures of Immortal Palace” to read…
“Ahem——”
“Um…”
Ye Anping interrupted with a cough and couldn’t help but take another look at what Liang Ah Ting was wearing at the moment.
Very nice and beautiful but he was not Feng Yudie. Even if Tong Zilan wanted Ahting to marry him, he would not agree. Both he and his junior sister had always regarded Ahting as a niece.
Besides, if he agreed, Brother Liang would come over with a knife as soon as he got out of seclusion…
However, because he thought of Brother Liang, Ye Anping came up with a plan. Last time, Brother Liang gave him a coffin and a jade tablet as a gift for the core formation. He originally thought of just going ahead and giving the spirit stone…
But now, this is ready-made, don’t give it up for free…
Ye Anping raised his eyebrows, looked at Hong Yu, and asked, “Hongyu, can you draw?”
“Huh?” Hongyu was a little puzzled and tilted her head and said, “I have learned some before, but I can only draw portraits because I often help Senior Tong draw some… Ahem, what does Young Master Ye want me to draw?”
“It’s just a portrait.”
Ye Anping stood up, straightened his robe, then gently put his arm around Liang Ahting’s shoulders, let her lean against him, and said, “Drawdown what Ahting and I look like now. After Brother Liang completes the core formation, I will ask Hongyu to give the painting to him. Consider it a gift from my sixth brother to him for the core formation. I promised to pay it back at the beginning. It’s a great gift from him.”
Liang Ahting didn’t reject it and simply laughed, “Okay, okay, after the adoptive father comes out with the core, he will be happy to see him.”
“Um…”
Hongyu looked at the two people there and mistakenly thought that Ye Anping had fallen in love with the second princess. Naturally, she was extremely happy. She quickly took out the ink pens and paints from her storage bag and copied them on the paper.
With just the sight of a stick of incense, Ye Anping and Liang Ahting fell on a piece of paper with a jade pen in Hongyu’s hand. Ye Anping took the painting and looked at it. Seeing that the painting was similar, he nodded and put it on the stone table. Then he found an excuse to put Liang Acting aside and took out a small bag of spiritual stones from his bag:
“Ahting, how about running an errand for uncle and buying some spirit-gathering pills? This is your errand fee.”
“Good!”
Hearing that there was money for running errands, Liang Ahting agreed without saying a word, took a small bag of spiritual stones, turned around, and ran outside.
Seeing this, Hongyu was stunned for a moment and asked, “How about Young Master Ye accompanying Miss Liang?”
“Hongyu.”
Ye Anping interrupted solemnly, and the smile on his face when he faced Ahting disappeared instantly.
Sensing something was wrong in the atmosphere, Hongyu quickly lowered her head and asked in a low voice, “Young Master Ye, this is…”
“No need to show off.”
Ye Anping waved his hand and took out a few insulation notes, forming a small restraint around himself and Hongyu, “Senior Tong asked you to accompany Acting to Xuanxing Sect. What should he have told you, right?”
“…”
“To be honest, I won’t be angry. For example, let you bring me and Ahting together, and try your best to let Ahting and I have mutual affection while getting along, or something like that?”
Am I too obvious… It does seem a bit obvious…
Hongyu felt a little guilty and had a look of panic on her face. Indeed, as Ye Anping said, before she and Ahting came out of the Hundred Lotus Sect, Tong Zilan specially found her and told her about this matter.
“Hongyu, after you accompany Acting to Xuanxing Sect, let her spend more time with Young Master Ye. Although Ahting and Young Master Ye have an uncle-nephew relationship, this uncle-nephew relationship is casual. There is not much age difference between the two of them, and I think Young Master Ye seems to like short girls. It would be great if Ahting could fall in love with him for a long time.”
Hongyu hesitated for a while, her head pressed further and further down, and finally, she answered truthfully, “Well… The queen did say something about matchmaking.”
“Then you tell Tong Zilan later and tell her not to think about it anymore. Acting and I are just uncle-nephew. It’s impossible…”
“Master Ye, don’t you like the second princess?”
“I like it, but this love is different from the love between men and women.”
“Can…”
“No buts.”
Ye Anping frowned and interrupted, which made Hongyu bite her lips tightly in fear. But then, Hongyu heard Ye Anping sigh seriously.
“Huh… I can understand what Senior Tong is thinking. In the Central Domain and the big families, marriages between uncles and nephews are common. It seems to be called getting closer, and happiness becomes more happiness, but in my case… This thing goes against common sense.”
As he spoke, Ye Anping took out the ink pen from his storage bag and wrote a sentence next to the portrait Hongyu had just given of him and Liang Ahting:
I will take good care of Ahting.
Hongyu looked a little puzzled, but heard Ye Anping say after finishing writing:
“As her uncle, take good care of her, that’s all.”
As he spoke, Ye Anping rolled up the scroll, protected it with magic, tied it up, and handed it over, “Go back to the Hundred Lotus Sect, give this thing to Brother Liang, and at the same time help me convey it to Senior Tong.”
“…Young Master Ye, please speak.”
“Xuanxing Sect will not take action against the Heavenly Execution Court. However, I will try my best. I cannot guarantee that I can bring Heavenly Execution Court back to the Western Region intact, but I am not a person who does nothing in vain. I will save Heavenly Execution Court because I need Heavenly Execution Court to help me do something in the future…”
“…Um.”
After Ye Anping thought for a while, his expression gradually relaxed, “Let me tell you, Senior Tong, Ahting is not the kind of person who likes to be a princess. She has been wandering around with Brother Liang since she was a child. Although she has lived in the open air, she does not have the rules and regulations of a big sect…”
Hongyu was a little confused, but still nodded in agreement, “Yes…”
“If Senior Tong wants to compensate Ahting, then just confess her identity to her…”
“…The slave will convey the exact words to the Empress.”
“After Brother Liang is released from confinement, he and Ye Wan’er will come to the Central Domain to pick us up. I will have to lead the Heavenly Execution Court to break through the siege of the demon cultivators. If no one comes to help, the Heavenly Execution Court may not be able to bring him out.”
After hearing this, Hong Yu realized what Ye Anping meant by taking the Heavenly Execution Court back to the Western Domain. She suddenly opened her eyes wide in shock and asked, “…Do you mean that you are going to the Central Domain? And what you mean by this, is it possible that the Demonic Cultivator…”
“There is a 90% chance that the Ghost Spirit Sect will take this opportunity to capture Donghuang, and by the way, take the three immortal cities in the Central Domain into their hands. The Monster Clan needs to recuperate now, so they will definitely not take action and can only take a step back temporarily. Donghuang is now caught in the middle by the demon clan and demon cultivators, Han Tian Kingdom in the Northern Domain can not spare the time to help them, so… it must be in danger.”
“Then isn’t this very dangerous?” Hongyu held her chin and thought for a while, then said, “Young Master Ye, although the emperor wants you to help the Heavenly Execution Court, you don’t have to put yourself in a dangerous situation…”
“Oh, do you think I want to go?”
“Then you are…”
“I have to go. After all, I am a good and responsible man, unlike her father.”
Hongyu was stunned for a moment, not understanding. After Ye Anping had finished what he needed to say, he removed the soundproofing restraint covering himself and Hongyu, stood up, and saluted with his hands in hand:
“Farewell.”
“…”
Hongyu froze in place until Ye Anping’s figure turned around from the door, then she came back to her senses and hurriedly chased after him. However, when she chased him out, Ye Anping had already flown away with his sword.
She frowned, looked at the scroll in her hand, and felt that she had better rush back to the Hundred Lotus Sect as soon as possible, so she went back to the house and tidied up briefly, leaving a note for Ahting:
“Miss Liang, I have to go back to the Hundred Lotus Sect in a hurry. I have left about a thousand spiritual stones on the table. I will save some for myself. – Hongyu”
Then, she jumped out of the window, stepped on the flying sword, and left the Xuanxing Sect.
Not long after Hongyu left, Liang Ahting ran back wearing her beautiful pink dress and holding a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pill. However, when she saw that there was no one in the courtyard, she froze on the spot:
“Uncle?! Sister Hongyu?!”
No one responded: “…”
“Ah? Where did you go…”
Liang Ahting scratched the back of his head, and then a sweet voice like the god of death came from behind:
“Acting!”
Pei Lianxue walked into the courtyard and saw Liang Ahting, dressed in pink and tender clothes. She was stunned for a long time, with a faint smile on her face and eyes, and praised, “This dress is so beautiful…”
“…”
“Go and change quickly. My aunt is free and will accompany you to the martial arts platform to practice swordsmanship.”
“Woo——”
Liang Ahting frowned, turned around, and glanced at Pei Lianxue, then jumped to the roof and started to escape. However, her skirt was too long and she tripped. As soon as she jumped up, she fell flat on the ground in the yard, scaring the door. Pei Lianxue shrank her neck instead.
“Acting?”
Liang Ahting was stunned for a moment, then she simply used the trick, raised her head, and hit the floor tiles hard.
Bang.
As soon as she rolled her eyes, she fainted in the middle of the yard.
Pei Lianxue hurriedly walked up and picked her up. Seeing that Ahting would rather knock herself out than practice sword practice with her, her face felt a little disappointed for a moment…
“Is Ting so afraid of me? Am I too strict…”
She bit her lip lightly, thought about it for a moment, and didn’t care. She hugged Liang Ahting and headed towards the medical center next to the disciple’s residence.
