A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

After discussions among the group, a relocation plan was finalized.

But while the expectations were high, the reality presented a dilemma of choice.

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then asked the four people in front of him.

"If this plan is followed, how long will it take to complete the migration?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ling pondered for a moment and then began to speak.

"If we want to take away as many of the clan's resources as possible, it will probably take two or three days."

After all, it represents hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulated wealth and heritage within the Xu family. If they wanted to take everything with them, they would need some time to organize it.

After listening, Ye Yun frowned slightly and shook his head.

"No, this is taking too long."

Xu Qingyan paused for a moment and then asked.

"Is the young master worried about the royal family?"

"That's right."

Ye Yun nodded slightly, offering a reminder.

"I estimate that news of your return will soon reach the ears of the four major powers, and even the Crown Prince."

"Two or three days is enough time for the intelligence to be transmitted and for the Crown Prince to send people over."

According to the pre-arranged plan, the best course of action would be to leave quickly with the Xu family, catching the Crown Prince off guard.

As long as we can bring the Xu family to Dongzhou before the Crown Prince takes action, the other party will have no choice but to give up, no matter how unhappy they are.

However, once a stalemate is established, the Crown Prince may use the Xu family's traitorous identity as leverage.

When that time really comes, I'm afraid even Princess Canglan won't be able to openly support the Xu family...

Upon hearing this, Xu Chengfeng frowned.

"But these two or three days are already as fast as possible. If we shorten it any further, I'm afraid we'll have to leave a lot of things behind."

Before Ye Yun could speak, Xu Qingyan said seriously.

"The situation is urgent. We only need to take assets such as Xuanjing (mystic crystals), rare and precious materials, and cultivation techniques with us."

"Leave everything else behind, such as markets, cultivation caves, and mines!"

"In any case, we should try to shorten the departure time to less than one day!"

It can be said that she made a rather decisive decision.

These words left the other three looking at each other in bewilderment.

Xu Ling couldn't help but remind him, "Clan leader, wouldn't that be letting those guys off too easily?"

A fierce glint flashed in Xu Chengfeng's eyes as he gritted his teeth and said.

"Yeah, why don't we just destroy it!"

Clearly, he wanted to leave the other party with not a single resource.

Since the Xu family can't take it with them, we absolutely won't give it to them.

But Xu Qingyan disagreed, shaking her head.

"There's no need for that; we can take a longer-term view."

"What harm is there in leaving these things to them? They can only use and possess them anyway."

"Let's just consider these things as temporarily entrusted to them for safekeeping for a while."

"A hundred years from now, when we return to this place, they will eventually be returned to their rightful owners!"

For ordinary people, a hundred years can be an extremely long time, longer than some people's entire lives.

But for cultivators, it's just a not-so-short period of cultivation time.

Upon hearing this, the three of them fell silent for a moment, seemingly finding some truth in it.

After that, Xu Mei smiled and nodded.

"My cousin is right! We should think long-term; what's ours will eventually be ours!"

"Let's just consider these guys as our temporary bodyguards!"

These words successfully persuaded Xu Ling and Xu Chengfeng.

The two looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.

"Alright, let's do as the patriarch says!"

Once the migration speed was determined as the guiding principle, the subsequent planning became much easier.

Simply put all the cultivation resources that are easy to carry at any time into the storage bag, and then take them with you.

Finally, the plan was finalized.

Xu Chengfeng seemed to have thought of something and gave a reminder.

"By the way, we've made arrangements here, but what about the rest of the clansmen?"

Within the Xu family, there are still quite a few old-fashioned people who are loyal to the family.

Compared to those people, he's probably considered reasonable.

When they were mentioned, Xu Qingyan paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and said.

"It's alright, I'll go and persuade them myself."

Among the Xu family, if there's anyone who can persuade them, it's probably only myself.

With her words, the three of them nodded in relief.

"Okay, it's settled then."

By now, everything that needed to be decided has been decided.

The rest of the time was spent on our own busy lives.

Xu Qingyan, in particular, is an extremely busy person, and many things may require her opinion.

"Young master, I might not have time to accompany you later, what do you think..."

Xu Qingyan looked at Ye Yun, asking for his opinion.

After all, since the other party was the host, she should have treated them well when they came to her clan.

Ye Yun smiled faintly and waved his hand in response.

"It's okay, you just go ahead and do your thing. I'll just wander around the neighborhood by myself."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyan smiled and bowed to him.

"Yes, thank you, young master!"

Her respectful attitude left the three people in the room in disbelief.

You should know that in the past, Xu Qingyan was not only known for being argumentative and confrontational, but also for having a fiery temper.

Unexpectedly, she was so gentle and demure in front of this young master Lin, almost like his maid.

Xu Ling and Xu Chengfeng, those two old men, were alright, but they were a little surprised.

Xu Mei, who grew up with Xu Qingyan, muttered to herself upon seeing this.

"Something's not right, something's very wrong. There's something fishy about the relationship between my cousin and him!"

Xu Mei planned to find an opportunity to inquire about this Mr. Lin.

Soon after, the meeting that would determine the future of the Xu family ended in a relaxed atmosphere.

After that, Xu Qingyan, the two elders, and her cousin Xu Mei went about their own business.

As for Ye Yun, he strolled around the Xu family's courtyard for a while.

Before the news spread, many members of the Xu family were still quite free and delighted by the return of their patriarch.

Some of them even greeted Ye Yun warmly.

As for Ye Yun's mind, Nangong Jiutian clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Kid, you've really put in a lot of effort with this Xu family. Was it worth it?"

Ye Yun explained calmly.

"I will do my best to fulfill the promises I make to those around me."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian couldn't help but smile and sigh.

"Not bad, not bad at all. I'm even a little tempted. Should I just follow you from now on?"

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then said calmly.

"Sure, if you're willing, senior."

For him, having this legendary female emperor follow him would undoubtedly be entirely beneficial.

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!

Nangong Jiutian scoffed at this.

"Just kidding, how could I possibly submit to you?"

"When that time really comes, won't you force me to cultivate with you every day?"

Ye Yun sighed helplessly and shrugged.

"Senior, please don't frame me. Although I enjoy dual cultivation, I wouldn't go so far as to torment others every day."

Immediately, Nangong Jiutian brought up old grievances.

"Really? You dare say you didn't when you were with Gu Linlang?"

Okay, back when I had just made Gu Linlang acknowledge me as her master, I did do something similar.

Ye Yun coughed lightly and explained.

"Wasn't that a special circumstance, in order to completely conquer her?"

"hehe……"

Nangong Jiutian said playfully, "Who knows if you'll try to conquer me in the same way someday?"

Knowing Ye Yun as she did, she would tease him whenever she had free time, and occasionally flirt with him.

I reckon the other party is holding a grudge. If I give them a chance to retaliate, I'll definitely suffer terribly.

Therefore, the wise thing to do is simply not to give Ye Yun a chance to retaliate!

Ye Yun was at a loss for words in response to her complaints.

Then, he remembered something and asked.

"So, how is your recovery going, senior? How long will it take for you to fully recover?"

Given the current volatile situation on the mainland, he still hopes to have another powerful ally.

However, if he were only in a soul state, the things Nangong Jiutian could do would be very limited...

Nangong Jiutian smiled and said this.

"Well... the recovery is going quite well. I absorbed a lot in that so-called Heavenly Pool last time."

"Now, it will probably only take about eight years."

Although she said the time was very short, Ye Yun felt it was still a bit too long.

"Eight years..."

Suddenly, Ye Yun thought of something.

Last time, the other party said it would take ten years to complete the resurrection.

It has only been less than half a year since the other party took up residence in my body.

In other words, the last time I went to Tianchi to temper my body, I shortened the other party's resurrection time by a year and a half.

Immediately, Ye Yun asked curiously.

"What if, senior, you were to frequently soak in Tianchi Lake?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian spoke slowly.

"I know what you're thinking, but there are two questions."

Ye Yun frowned.

"Oh? What's the problem?"

Afterwards, Nangong Jiutian explained it to him.

"Firstly, it cannot be absorbed indefinitely."

"Secondly, if I absorb it excessively, that treasure land will soon be mostly drained. How will you explain that then?"

Indeed, the earlier issues were manageable.

The key is the latter, which is indeed not easy to explain.

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then asked.

"If we follow what our predecessors said and drain most of that Heavenly Pool, how much will the resurrection time be shortened?"

"It might be able to be reduced to about six months."

After all, as she gradually recovers, the more resources she needs in the later stages.

After hearing this answer, Ye Yun fell into deep thought.

"Six months, that's alright..."

Seeing his expression, Nangong Jiutian joked.

"You wouldn't actually be planning to help me get my hands on that Heavenly Lake, would you?"

That place was a precious site highly valued by the three holy lands.

Ye Yun's idea of ​​taking her inside and doing whatever he wanted is probably unrealistic.

After a while, Ye Yun chuckled.

Whether it will work or not, we'll only know after we try, but there's one thing...

At this point, he squinted slightly and asked.

"If I really succeed, can you guarantee you won't cause trouble and will join us in dealing with the Ascension Cult?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian seemed to be taken aback for a moment.

After a while, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You little rascal, you really dare to dream big."

"However, if you can really do it, I can naturally grant you this small request."

Seeing this, Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, it's a deal then!"

"Okay, it's a deal."

Of course, when the opportunity finally comes, Ye Yun will definitely make her swear an oath to Heaven.

……

While Ye Yun was strolling around the Xu residence, Xu Qingyan also got busy.

It's not just about organizing meetings to talk about the relocation.

We also need to talk to those die-hards one by one and persuade them to agree to the relocation.

Half a day passed, and I was so busy that my heels barely touched the ground, but fortunately things went relatively smoothly.

When Ye Yun saw Xu Qingyan inside the mansion, he asked with a smile.

"How is it? Have you convinced everyone?"

Xu Qingyan, who was sighing deeply, smiled and nodded when she saw it was him.

"Thanks to the master's care, everything went smoothly. Except for a very few stubborn people, the rest basically agreed."

"The Xu residence is now sealed off. Pack your belongings and try to complete the relocation by tomorrow."

The deadline given by the four forces is three days, so it would be best to escape before then.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun nodded.

"That's good. By the way, where am I staying tonight?"

As it grew dark, he planned to find a place to rest and cultivate.

When this matter was mentioned, Xu Qingyan smiled and gestured for her to proceed.

"This way, please. Your room has been prepared for you."

Xu Qingyan personally led Ye Yun to the guest room. Pushing open the door, they found a rather spacious room with complete furniture.

However, she still looked a little embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry, I should have put the master in my room, but I was worried they would find it strange, so..."

After all, their strategy when they came was to temporarily conceal their relationship.

If it were made public, there would inevitably be dissenting voices within the Xu family.

Imagine, if even the clan leader becomes someone else's female slave, what good place can you expect to take the clan to?

"It's fine, I'm fine anywhere."

Ye Yun waved his hand and replied indifferently.

After spending so many years in the abandoned alchemy room, I don't have high requirements for my living environment.

Then, he gave Xu Qingyan some instructions.

"Alright, if you have something to do, you can continue with your work."

The entire clan needs to relocate right now, and as the clan leader, the other party must have a lot to do, which he can understand.

Xu Qingyan nodded and bowed.

"Yes! Thank you, Master!"

After Xu Qingyan left and closed the door, the room returned to silence.

Ye Yun looked around, then sat cross-legged on the bed and entered a meditative state to continue his cultivation.

His current level of profound energy is approaching the fourth level of the extraordinary realm.

As he expected, if everything went smoothly, he would also be able to obtain those pills.

I believe I will have a chance to break through to the Dao Building Realm within six months!

……

I thought this night would just end there.

Unexpectedly, after the night had fallen, there was a soft knocking on the door.

Ye Yun, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and asked a question to the outside world.

"Who?"

Soon, a familiar female voice came from outside the door.

"It's me, Xu Mei, here to bring some tea and snacks for Young Master Lin."

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then responded.

"Come in."

With his permission, the door was pushed open, and a beautiful figure walked in carrying tea and snacks.

Sure enough, it was Xu Qingyan's cousin, Xu Mei.

Unlike during the day, she was wearing a lighter silk dress, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

From the side, you can even vaguely see the undergarments underneath.

In addition, Xu Mei's figure is comparable to her cousin's, which gives her a somewhat alluring look.

Feeling Ye Yun's gaze, he looked himself up and down.

Xu Mei didn't take it seriously and smiled sweetly.

"Young Master Lin, have I disturbed you?"

As she spoke, she placed the tea and snacks she had brought on the table beside the bed.

Seeing this, Ye Yun waved his hand and smiled, "I wasn't planning to sleep anyway, so it's no disturbance. Thank you for your consideration."

The tea and pastries in front of me look quite exquisite, clearly showing that they were prepared with care.

Upon hearing this, Xu Mei shook her head.

"It's nothing. Young Master Lin has done the Xu family such a great favor; we should have hosted a banquet for him."

"Now that we're moving, we don't even have time for a banquet, and it's our Xu family that has failed to provide adequate hospitality."

As she spoke, she glanced at the tea and snacks on the bedside table and smiled at them.

"These were all made by my own hands. Please try them and see if you are satisfied."

Since that's what they said, Ye Yun couldn't be too polite, so he ate a bite of each one.

To be honest, the taste is indeed quite good, and the other party does have something...

"It's good, quite delicious."

Ye Yun ate some pastries and then took a sip of tea.

Then, as if remembering something, he asked Xu Mei.

"Speaking of which, aren't we moving? Doesn't Miss Xu Mei need to pack a few things?"

Xu Mei smiled and explained.

"Unlike my cousin, I don't have as many things to do. I've basically finished everything."

"Otherwise... how would I have time to make these pastries and brew tea for Young Master Lin?"

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then nodded.

"That's true."

Then, he looked at Xu Mei.

"It's getting late, Miss Xu, you should go back and rest early, as we may have to travel tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mei tilted her head and glanced at him.

There seemed to be some helplessness in her eyes, and she couldn't help but purse her lips and ask.

"Young Master Lin, shouldn't we be inviting them to sit here at a time like this?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun was slightly taken aback.

"It's so late at night, and we're alone in a room together. Aren't you worried about people gossiping, Miss Xu Mei?"

This wouldn't be a problem in Dongzhou.

In the southern continent, where female chastity is highly valued, it is unknown.

Xu Mei scoffed dismissively at this.

"Let whoever wants to say it, I don't care."

Ye Yun smiled helplessly and then asked.

"Alright, Miss Xu, would you like to sit here for a while?"

"Then I would be honored."

Xu Mei was not polite at all. She smiled and sat down next to Ye Yun, pouring herself a cup of tea as well.

During this time, the two of them chatted casually for a while.

Even the perceptive Ye Yun wondered what Xu Qingyan's cousin wanted from coming to see him.

Finally, after Xu Mei finished her tea, she suddenly asked him a question.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Lin, just tell me the truth, what exactly is your relationship with my cousin?"

Well, it seems that's the main reason they came here tonight.

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then gave the same answer as before.

"Didn't we say this during the day? She and I are friends."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mei raised her eyebrows slightly and asked another question.

"Are you really not a cultivation partner, or anything else?"

Clearly, she didn't believe that the two were just ordinary friends.

Ye Yun shrugged helplessly.

"Of course not, you can ask your cousin if you don't believe me."

"Oh well."

Xu Mei responded thoughtfully.

Just as Ye Yun was thinking that the other party finally believed him.

Suddenly, Xu Mei, who was standing in front of him, got up and sat down next to him.

She gazed at Ye Yun with tender affection, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"In that case, perfect..."

As she spoke, she had already moved closer to Ye Yun.

Especially her beautiful curves, which were already leaning against Ye Yun's body.

This action surprised Ye Yun.

"Miss Xu Mei, what do you mean by this?"

"Is that even a question?"

Xu Mei gazed at her with her beautiful eyes, her jade-like fingers pulling open the loose collar of her dress slightly, revealing a hint of allure.

"Could it be... that Young Master Lin, seeing me like this, doesn't want to do anything for this young lady?"

This sudden turn of events left Ye Yun's face full of question marks.

Wait, what's going on?
