Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 146 In the art of lightness skill, if I claim to be second in the world, then no one dares to claim to be first.
"The world is vast; there's nowhere I can't go." Zhuang Buran turned around, forcing a smile.
"Let's spend the night in the wilderness first."

"There's an inn not far from the thatched cottage; you can stay there for the night," Yan Hongye said calmly.

The young man carrying a gun gestured to the cloth bag slung across his waist:
"Besides a bunch of yellow talismans I drew myself, I only have a few copper coins on me, so I really can't afford to stay at an inn."

Upon hearing this, Yan Hongye said:

"Wait here, I'll give you some silver."

Having said that, without giving Zhuang Buran a chance to refuse, he opened a medicine cabinet and threw a small bag of silver at the young man with the gun.

"Junior sister, seeing your cold exterior but warm interior, I feel even more that I was quite prescient, and I am indeed not good enough for you."

Zhuang Buran clasped his hands in greeting:
"If fate allows, we will meet again someday."

He then turned around and walked out of the thatched cottage.

Yan Hongye watched his departing figure, sighed inexplicably, and began to tidy up the thatched cottage. As night fell and she was about to close the door, she saw a familiar figure carrying a gun on the empty street.

Immediately, she frowned and walked out, saying:

"Didn't you go to stay at an inn?"

Zhuang Buran said helplessly:
"Junior sister, if I told you that the Wind Comes Inn is fully booked tonight, would you think I'm lying to you?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Hongye neither answered whether she believed it nor not, but looked at the sky and said:
"Let's go, we'll stay at the thatched cottage tonight."

"Wouldn't this be inconvenient?" the young man with the gun asked, slightly embarrassed.

“Alright, then you can spend the night in the wilderness.” After saying that, Yan Hongye turned around and walked back to the thatched cottage.

“As your senior brother, I still think we shouldn’t be too formal,” Zhuang Buran immediately followed.

After half a stick of incense.

Inside a dining room in the backyard of Bingxin Caotang.

The young man with the gun sat at the table, and Yan Hongye served him two bowls of steaming hot noodle soup.

"Junior sister, the phrase 'kind-hearted and beautiful' perfectly describes you." Zhuang Buran proactively brought over a bowl and said:
"Tomorrow, I'll show you my skills and cook you a delicious meal before you leave."

"No need," Yan Hongye said calmly after taking her seat.
"I just hadn't eaten myself, so I cooked a meal for you."

"I already said there's no need for excessive formalities in front of my senior brother, so it's decided then and there. I'll go grocery shopping first thing tomorrow morning."

Zhuang Buran's words made Yan Hongye sigh inwardly. It turned out that the earlier statement about not needing to be too polite could be used in reverse.

The next day, morning.

Yan Hongye was seeing patients in the front hall when suddenly her nostrils twitched slightly, and then she saw thick smoke continuously flowing into the hall.

She quickly comforted the patients who had come for treatment, then hurried into the backyard, where she saw that the kitchen was not just emitting smoke, but was completely engulfed in flames.

The young man with the gun kept patting the flames off his robes outside the kitchen.

Yan Hongye immediately unleashed a powerful and extraordinary force, which not only extinguished Zhuang Buran's flames but also put out the fire that was about to spread in the kitchen.

"Junior sister, if I told you this was just an accident, would you believe me or not?" The young man with the gun chuckled dryly.

Do you think I should believe it or not?

Yan Hongye really didn't know what to say, and couldn't maintain her aloof expression, so she said irritably:

Do you even know how to cook?

"Well, being able to cook and being able to eat shouldn't be that different, right?" Zhuang Buran said somewhat uncertainly.

"You can't even cook, yet you dare to take on so much responsibility." Yan Hongye said with a troubled expression.

The young man carrying a gun looked serious.
"Please rest assured, junior sister, I will not leave until the kitchen is restored to its original state."

"No need, you should leave quickly," Yan Hongye said, feeling somewhat weary.

"If I asked you to repair the kitchen, my Bingxin Thatched Cottage would probably collapse."

"Junior sister, you're underestimating me." Zhuang Buran said sincerely.

“For me, building a house is as easy as cooking, so please trust me one more time.”

Seeing that Yan Hongye remained silent, he continued:
"If I just leave like this, I will feel extremely guilty. My state of mind is already flawed, which has caused my cultivation of Dao to stagnate. I also think about how much trouble I have caused my junior sister, and yet I just leave like this."

The young man with the gun sighed softly:
"Junior sister, can you bear to see your senior brother become a despised and useless cultivator in the future?"

"Forget it, you should clean up the backyard first." Yan Hongye didn't know what to say, so she left those words and turned to go to the front hall.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me."

Half a month later, in the backyard.

"Look, isn't this kitchen exactly the same as before?" Zhuang Buran said with a smile.

Yan Hongye kept looking at the wooden house in front of her and found that the design was exactly the same as before. After thinking that someone was finally somewhat reliable, she entered the house and was instantly stunned.

The room was completely empty; there were no pots, pans, or even a stove. "Junior sister, I can explain this," the young man carrying the spear coughed lightly.

"Speak," Yan Hongye uttered a single word.

Zhuang Buran said slowly:

"I dare to build the stove, but would my junior sister dare to use it?"

Yan Hongye: "."

The unusually quiet kitchen at this moment says it all.

“Zhuge Liuyun, you don’t think your Taoist skills are top-notch, but you must have lacked training, which has led to a deficiency in your mental state.”

Yan Hongye said expressionlessly:
“Starting tomorrow morning, I will teach you how to reach the Purple Talisman Realm more quickly, for one hour each day in the bamboo forest outside Nanguo Town.”

"Usually, it's the senior students teaching the junior students." The young man with the gun looked quite embarrassed.
"So, is it possible for me to figure it out on my own?"

"No."

Yan Hongye glanced at Zhuang Buran, then turned and walked out of the kitchen.

The next day, early morning.

In a quiet bamboo forest.

"Junior sister, the cultivation path of my Xuanxin Sect has always been to combine Daoist techniques and martial arts. You wouldn't just want me to use Daoist techniques, would you?"

Zhuang Buran looked suspicious:
"If you only let me use Taoist magic, then you are using the guise of teaching to do something contrary to the principles of Heaven."

"I am your own senior brother. You wouldn't really want to kill me, would you? All that happened before was just an accident."

"Of course you can use martial arts as well."

Yan Hongye's lips curled slightly, and a glint of light flashed in her clear eyes. She was, after all, a young girl at heart, and seemed to feel that she could finally vent her frustrations openly.

"Zhuge Liuyun, if you want me to sincerely call you senior brother one day, you don't need to beat me. Just be able to exchange dozens of blows with me without being at a disadvantage."

"It wouldn't be unreasonable for me to acknowledge you as my senior brother."

"There's no need for such trouble. Even if your name is Sima Hongye, you're still my junior sister," Zhuang Buran said with a smile.

"Because Sima San Niang is my master's wife, she will definitely acknowledge me as her disciple, and you will only be my junior sister."

Upon hearing this, Yan Hongye made a hand seal and chanted an incantation:

"Heaven and Earth are boundless, the profound heart and the righteous law, the five elements of divine thunder!"

A purple talisman transformed into a bolt of divine lightning as thick as a python and struck the young man carrying a spear.

"boom!"

A pit more than ten feet deep appeared on the ground.

Zhuang Buran swept across the sky for eight or nine zhang, landing on a bamboo tip, slightly surprised:
"Junior sister, are you serious?!"

"Your lightness skill is quite good."

Yan Hongye was ruthless and taciturn. He unleashed seven or eight purple talismans in succession, all of which transformed into divine lightning that struck down.

“Zhuge Liuyun, if you keep using your lightness skill to dodge, then you will never be able to improve your Xuanxin Zhengfa in your entire life and will only be able to stay at the Yellow Talisman level.”

"Do you really think I'm stupid?" Zhuang Buran said, standing on a bamboo shoot in the distance.

"Junior sister, stop joking. Do you think that having half your life struck by your Five Elements Divine Lightning will make you make significant progress in the Profound Heart Orthodox Method?"

"So you really aren't stupid after all!" Yan Hongye suddenly appeared behind the young man carrying a gun and kicked out.

Zhuang Buran narrowly avoided the attack, and then heard a nonchalant voice in his ear:

"If you're not stupid, how come you can't even cook? And then you reveal your true nature, constantly criticizing my cooking for being either too bland or too strong in flavor."

"You're so good at talking, why don't you do it yourself?"

The young man with the gun listened while dodging the barrage of slaps.

"Junior sister, how long have you been holding this in? It seems you're even blaming me for things that weren't my fault."

"Enough with the nonsense. Apart from my mother, few in the world can compare to my medical skills. If I hurt you, it won't be long before I'm back to my old self."

Yan Hongye's aura surged forth, unleashing an extremely domineering and powerful true energy. Her fierce and chilling palm strikes relentlessly aimed at the young man carrying the gun.

"They say that if you eat someone else's food, you're obligated to feed them. If you happen to run into me, junior sister, it wouldn't hurt if you beat her up."

Zhuang Buran moved like a willow catkin or a kite rising against the wind, dodging left and right, and easily avoided Yan Hongye's powerful palm strikes.

"I forgot to mention, my martial arts are top-notch, my Taoist magic is mediocre, but in terms of lightness skill, if I claim to be second in the world, then no one dares to claim to be number one."
