Hong Xian'er's words made Ye Yun smile.

"What do you mean? Leave this to me. I'll find a way to convince her!"

Anyway, Ye Yun considered himself to have a thick skin.

If all else fails, just cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide; I refuse to believe that holy lord won't agree!

Seeing his confident words, Hong Xian'er nodded.

"Alright, I'll believe you for now."

She was quite confident in Ye Yun's ability to handle things.

So far, it seems that the other party has not encountered any problems that they cannot solve.

Sometimes she wondered if the other person could do anything except give birth.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Hong Xian'er pondered for a moment and then asked.

"What's our destination? Even if we're going on a trip, we need a destination, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun thought for a moment and then spoke.

"I do have a destination in mind, Xian'er. What about you? Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Hong Xian'er paused for a moment, then spoke.

"I don't have any specific requirements, but if possible, I would like to visit other continents."

"Hmm? Why is that?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I don't think there's anything interesting about Dongzhou. It's more exciting to go somewhere else."

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious, Xian'er."

Ye Yun showed him an approving expression.

After thinking for a moment, he asked with a smile.

"In that case, why don't we go to Wanmeng City in the Northern Continent?"

Taking the opportunity, Ye Yun casually recommended the places he wanted to visit.

Upon hearing this name, Hong Xian'er was taken aback.

"Wanmeng City? What made you suddenly decide to go there?"

Ye Yun smiled and explained.

"Isn't it because there's something interesting to see over there?"

"The battle for the new leader of the Northern Continent will begin in twenty days."

"If we go there, we can not only see the local customs and culture of the Northern Continent."

"Perhaps there's even a chance to witness the birth of a new leader. Don't you think that's fascinating, Xian'er?"

The key point is that this is exactly what Hong Xian'er was thinking, and it's not in the Eastern Continent.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xian'er pondered for a moment and then nodded gently.

"Hmm...that does seem quite interesting, so it's settled then."

She didn't really have any ideas, and Ye Yun happened to suggest a rather interesting place, so she simply agreed.

Furthermore, Hong Xian'er was indeed somewhat interested in this battle for the title of leader.

Seeing that she agreed, Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll talk to the Holy Lord about it later."

"Okay, sure..."

Hong Xian'er nodded.

And so, their subsequent itinerary and departure time were finalized.

After that, the two naturally continued their intimate moments.

It wasn't until later, when Hong Xian'er was almost brought to the point of fainting, that Ye Yun finally let her go completely.

When Ye Yun left the next day, he was in high spirits.

After leaving the Holy Maiden's Palace, Ye Yun headed straight for the forbidden area, which was where Jin Liuli was in seclusion.

Following his memory, Ye Yun arrived at the entrance to the forbidden area and bowed to the two old men in front of him.

"Seniors, I have something to discuss with the Holy Lord, and I would appreciate it if you could inform him of it."

Upon seeing that it was Ye Yun, one of them said indifferently.

"No need to announce your arrival. His Majesty has instructed that you may simply go in if you come."

This was clearly Jin Liuli, who had anticipated that Ye Yun would come looking for her after his return.

However, this made things easier for Ye Yun, who bowed to the two of them.

"Alright, thank you both, seniors!"

After saying that, he quickly went inside.

The two elderly men behind him relaxed their expressions and looked at his figure with some emotion.

"This kid's rate of progress is truly astonishing."

"Indeed, the first time I saw him, he was only at the Innate Realm, but in less than a year he's almost at the peak of the Extraordinary Realm. I wonder what he's been through."

Generally, people who improve at such a rapid pace have usually obtained the inheritance of a powerful figure; I wonder if he has.

But there was one thing they were all certain of: a super strong person was about to be born in the Ancient Holy Land!

Not long after, they were inside the forbidden area.

Jin Liuli seemed to have anticipated this, and was currently brewing tea under the round pavilion.

And a teacup had already been placed opposite her, seemingly prepared for Ye Yun.

"senior!"

After Ye Yun arrived, he smiled and waved to him.

Upon seeing Ye Yun approach, Jin Liuli gave a faint smile.

"Come and sit down. You look so happy; it seems the matter at the Moon Wheel Holy Land has been resolved?"

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Ye Yun grinned and casually sat down.

At the same time, Jin Liuli poured perfectly warm tea into the teacup in front of him.

"How was it? That old guy didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

Ye Yun felt a bit helpless at this form of address, but he didn't say anything.

He smiled and shook his head, explaining.

"Thanks to your letter, my uncle only put me through a test before approving my marriage to Ru Shuang."

He spoke of it as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

"Hmm... It's good that you agree."

Jin Liuli nodded, then noticed something and chuckled softly.

"Speaking of which, it seems you two get along quite well; even the way you address each other has changed."

Ye Yun picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said.

"Hey, this makes it seem more intimate, it's not right to keep calling him 'senior'."

"Really? Then why haven't you changed how you address me? You're still calling me 'senior' all the time?"

This sudden retort made Ye Yun freeze for a moment.

He immediately coughed lightly and explained.

"It's because I don't know how to address you. I can't exactly call you 'Auntie,' can I?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Liuli pondered for a moment before speaking.

"That's naturally inappropriate, but... since Xian'er is my disciple and you are her Daoist partner."

"From now on, just like her, call me Master."

Ye Yun naturally had no objection to this form of address.

He nodded and smiled.

"Yes, Master!"

For him to call her that, it's clear that this senior, Kim, genuinely acknowledges him.

Suddenly, Ye Yun remembered a question and scratched his head.

"Speaking of which, if I were to become Daoist partners with my master in the future, how should I address you?"

This is also what has always troubled Ye Yun.

It's not good if everyone just talks about their own version of events, is it?

"this……"

Even Jin Liuli was slightly taken aback when she heard his words.

It seems that she hadn't thought about this question before.

Finally, she paused for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Let's talk about this later."

This undoubtedly shows that she didn't know what to do either, and decided to take it one step at a time.

"Um... okay."

Ye Yun nodded, then took out the envelope that the Moon Wheel Saint Lord had given him.

He then placed it on the table and pushed it in front of Jin Liuli.

"By the way, Master, this is a letter that uncle asked me to give to you."

"Is that so? Then let me take a look..."

With a flick of her finger, Jin Liuli opened the envelope on the table, and the letter inside was pulled out.

Then, the letter floated in front of him. Jin Liuli glanced at it and couldn't help but smile.

Seeing this, Ye Yun asked curiously.

"Master, what does this letter say?"

Jin Liuli put down the letter and looked at him with a faint smile.

"The gist of it was that they lavished praise on you, saying how outstanding your performance was and that I should take good care of you."

Ye Yun suddenly realized and couldn't help but smile.

"I see. It seems my uncle really cares about me."

He thought the other party would write to Jin Liuli, asking her to keep an eye on him and prevent him from having affairs.

After all, the other party is in the Moon Wheel Holy Land, so even if they wanted to keep an eye on me, they couldn't.

Seeing his happy expression, Jin Liuli couldn't help but tease him.

"Kid, you should be relieved now, right?"

Ye Yun nodded frankly and said with a smile.

"Yes, it feels like the heavy weight on my body has disappeared."

Jin Liuli looked at him and said calmly.

Even so, you still need to be careful in the future.

"If Yue Rushuang really marries into our family in the future, remember to treat her well and don't neglect her."

"Otherwise, that old guy will really come and fight you to the death."

Regarding the matter between Xian'er, Ru Shuang, and Ye Yun, her stance was relatively neutral.

They didn't hold any prejudice against Yue Rushuang just because she was an outsider; on the contrary, they showed her special concern.

This can be considered an explanation to the Moon Wheel Holy Land.

Ye Yun nodded seriously in response to Jin Liuli's reminder.

"Yes, Master! This disciple will certainly take good care of Ru Shuang!"

Seeing his attitude, Jin Liuli was finally satisfied.

"I hope so. Alright, if there's nothing else, you should go back and focus on your cultivation."

She looked Ye Yun up and down and chuckled softly.

"Judging from your cultivation level, you've reached the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm. It's time for you to prepare to break through to the peak of the Transcendent Realm."

When asked about this, Ye Yun responded with a smile.

"Yes, Master, Xian'er and I are already preparing to break through to the peak of the extraordinary realm together."

"Okay, that's good."

Jin Liuli nodded slightly in agreement.

To be honest, even she found the other person's cultivation speed somewhat unbelievable.

The key point is that the other party's cultivation foundation is solid, and it doesn't seem like they improved it using some secret method or evil art.

Generally, there are only two possibilities for this speed of entry.

Either Ye Yun obtained the lifelong inheritance of a certain Emperor-level powerhouse.

Alternatively, one could consume high-grade or mid-level flawless pills as food.

In comparison, she believes the former is more likely.

Even Hong Xian'er, who was nurtured with concentrated resources, did not enjoy this treatment, let alone Ye Yun?

Then she waved her hand and said.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back and cultivate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yun coughed lightly.

"Um... Master, there are two more things I'd like to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Jin Liuli's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"You're really not being polite. Alright, what's the matter?"

From the other person's expression, Jin Liuli knew that it must be two things that required their help.

And it should be an important matter.

In fact, just as she had thought.

Having received her permission, Ye Yun pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Master, I plan to travel and go on a date with Xian'er after we finish our seclusion."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Liuli frowned slightly and asked.

"Dating?"

It was clear that she seemed somewhat surprised by this.

After all, these two words are commonly used between ordinary couples.

However, this is less common among cultivators and their partners.

Then she asked another question.

Where are you planning to go on your date?

Ye Yun carefully considered his words before speaking cautiously.

"We've decided on this; we're going to Wanmeng City in the Northern Continent."

"Isn't there a grand competition for the change of alliance leader? We'll just go there as spectators and broaden our horizons."

"Of course, we will ensure our own safety during this time!"

When he got to the top, he didn't forget to make a guarantee.

Upon hearing this, Jin Liuli understood his meaning and said calmly.

"So you mean you want me to fill in for Xian'er and help with some official duties, right?"

She was incredibly clever and immediately guessed Ye Yun's purpose in telling her.

Seeing this, Ye Yun simply nodded frankly.

"That's right, Master, please grant my request!"

He took a deep breath and looked at Jin Liuli cautiously.

The current situation reminds him of when he was a child and asked his parents if he could go out to play.

To say I wasn't nervous at all would be a lie.

Ye Yun had already made up his mind that he would persuade the other party no matter what means he used!

Just then, Jin Liuli looked at him and asked a question in a low voice.

"Whose idea was this?"

The cold tone suggested an interrogation.

Ye Yun froze for a moment, sensing something was wrong.

However, he still took a deep breath and said.

"Master, this was my idea all by myself!"

In this way, even if the other party blames her, it will not affect Xian'er.

At most, you'll just get a sarcastic remark from the other party, saying that you're being immature.

But then, Jin Liuli asked another question.

"Your idea? Xian'er agreed?"

This statement is clearly aimed directly at Hong Xian'er.

"Um...yes."

Ye Yun could only nod in response to this question.

"She agreed."

There was no way to fool Ye Yun.

I can't exactly say that I dragged her there, can I?

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Liuli stared at Ye Yun for a long time.

To be fair, even though we've met many times, Jin Liuli's gaze is still very intimidating.

Ye Yun couldn't help but take a deep breath, preparing himself to face the other party's thunderous wrath.

Then, she nodded and smiled.

"Okay, at least she's finally willing to relax a bit."

This sudden change left Ye Yun stunned.

"What? You agreed?"

He was prepared to have a proper discussion with the other party.

Try to reason with them and appeal to their emotions; if all else fails, resort to tantrums and dramatic displays of anger.

To my utter surprise, the other party agreed so readily!

Upon hearing this, Jin Liuli's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she asked calmly.

"What, you want me to disagree?"

No, no.

Ye Yun shook his head repeatedly and explained.

"I thought you would be angry!"

His words, however, made Jin Liuli frown, seemingly puzzled.

"Angry? Why should I be angry?"

Judging from the expression on her face, she genuinely didn't understand, and it wasn't an act.

Ye Yun scratched his head and coughed lightly.

"Because we're the younger generation, we're asking you to fill in for us while we go out and relax,"

Upon hearing this, Jin Liuli frowned.

"What's wrong with that? Do you think I'm such an unfeeling person?"

Although Ye Yun wanted to nod, he chose to go along with his heart, considering that he would be reprimanded.

"Uh, not really..."

Jin Liuli glanced at him, perhaps realizing he had seen through her lie.

Then, she said calmly.

"In my view, the human heart is like a bowstring."

"The more taut it is, the more powerful it can be."

"On the other hand, if it is always stretched too tight, it will eventually break."

"Adequate rest and relaxation are things we should all take for granted."

Judging from this answer, Jin Liuli is quite open-minded.

Ye Yun's eyes lit up, and he tentatively asked.

"So, Master means you're willing, right?"

Jin Liuli took a sip of tea and replied calmly.

"That's right, go if you want to."

"To be honest, I have wanted Xian'er to rest for a long time."

These words surprised Ye Yun.

He raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

"But Xian'er thought you wouldn't allow such a thing."

Upon hearing this, Jin Liuli glanced at him and pondered for a moment.

"I have never said such a thing. It seems that she has misunderstood."

Although she also hoped to see her apprentices work hard and make progress.

But everything has its limits, and if she keeps working too hard, she will start to worry.

After understanding what the other party meant, Ye Yun said helplessly.

"If that's the case, you should have reminded her sooner."

"What reminder?"

Jin Liuli raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in a calm voice.

Do you think a master would tell their apprentice not to work so hard and to go out and have fun more often?

Ye Yun paused for a moment, wanting to say, "That's just how I am."

After all, that was exactly what he had told Kurohime not long ago.

Given Hei Tong's situation, Ye Yun was worried that the other party was so focused on cultivating and becoming stronger that he neglected the meaning of life.

Judging from the current atmosphere, it doesn't seem like the right time to say something like that.

He coughed lightly and nodded.

"Hmm...I understand."

Ultimately, it's because Jin Liuli, as the Holy Lord and Master, can't let go of his pride.

At this moment, Jin Liuli glanced at him and slowly said.

"In short, you can go out now, just remember to be careful and stay safe elsewhere."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun smiled happily.

"Thank you, Master, I understand!"

He felt like he was in a dream, because everything was going too smoothly.

I believe Xian'er will be very happy to hear this result.

Then, Jin Liuli asked.

"Isn't there something else? Let's mention it together."

She remembered that when Ye Yun brought it up earlier, he mentioned two things.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Yun quickly said with a smile.

"Another matter is that I would like to soak in Tianchi again, and I would like to humbly request Master's permission!"

Taking this opportunity, Ye Yun also made the rest of his requests.

After listening, Jin Liuli was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.

"You still want to use Tianchi?"

"That's right!"

Ye Yun nodded.

Upon seeing this, Jin Liuli offered a reminder.

"You should know that the effect of soaking in Tianchi twice is very poor."

This is why it's rare for a true disciple who has achieved success to participate in the true discipleship competition again.

The biggest reward in a normal competition has almost no effect on someone who has experienced it once.

Ye Yun smiled faintly and explained.

"This disciple understands. The reason for going there this time is to try something else."

Jin Liuli understood his meaning and frowned as she asked.

"What do you want to do at Tianchi?"

When asked about this, Ye Yun felt somewhat embarrassed.

He couldn't possibly tell the truth, so he could only cough lightly and say...

"This matter probably needs to be kept secret."

"Keep it a secret?"

Jin Liuli frowned slightly, seeing the other party's serious expression.

She pondered for a moment, then slowly asked.

"I'll ask you one question: was what you did a good thing or a bad thing?"

"This... should be a good thing."

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Judging from the current situation on the mainland, the Ascension Sect is like a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heads.

If there were an entity that could rival it, it might have a positive impact on the overall situation.

Therefore, Ye Yun took a deep breath.

"If this can be accomplished, it might prevent many people from being injured or dying!"

At this moment, Nangong Jiutian was fast asleep.

Otherwise, if I heard him say that, I would probably make fun of him.

After hearing his words, Jin Liuli nodded after a brief moment of thought.

"Alright, since it's a good thing and can save lives, I naturally support you."

This can be considered as a result of trust in Ye Yun.

Ye Yun's eyes lit up, and he quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you, Master!"

Jin Liuli looked at him and asked.

"My agreement alone is not enough. What about the other two parties? You should know that it requires the consent of all three."

Ye Yun nodded and chuckled.

"My uncle has also agreed."

Then, Jin Liuli asked the same question as Yue Wumian had asked earlier.

"The question is, what about the Nine Netherworld Holy Land?"

It's obvious that they probably won't agree.

"It's alright, this disciple has his own way of trying!"

Ye Yun grinned and said confidently.

Seeing this, Jin Liuli nodded, relieved.

"In that case, go ahead and do it."

"Yes, thank you, Master!"

With Jin Liuli's permission and encouragement, Ye Yun naturally had no more worries.

After that, he bid farewell to Jin Liuli and left, intending to share the good news with Hong Xian'er.

As for Jin Liuli, she fell into deep thought as she watched his departing figure.

"What on earth is this kid up to?"

When Ye Yun told Hong Xian'er about Jin Liuli's reply, the latter was overjoyed.

In this way, their rendezvous in Wanmeng City of the Northern Continent was officially set.

After discussing the details briefly, the two of them immediately began cultivating, preparing to reach the peak of their cultivation as soon as possible.

However, before that, Ye Yun went to another place.

Ancient sacred road, on Fire Hammer Peak.

It's been a long time since I've been here, but the place is still bustling with activity, and the clanging of blacksmiths can be heard everywhere.

Ye Yun didn't beat around the bush and went straight to Tie Xinyu's courtyard.

During this time, he also encountered many disciples and elders, who greeted him warmly and were curious as to why he had come to see the peak master again.

Since Ye Yun arrived early, Tie Xinyu seemed to be still asleep, and the nearby forging platform was still extinguished.

Seeing this, Ye Yun simply knocked on the door and called out with a smile.

"Peak Master Tie, it's time to get up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a slightly trembling voice came from inside the room.

"You, you wait a moment, come right away."

Upon hearing this somewhat unusual sound, Ye Yun immediately realized what was going on.

Thinking to myself, this Senior Iron, or rather, Peak Master Iron, is still as leisurely as ever.

It took quite a while before the door was opened from the inside.

Wearing a silk nightgown, Tie Xinyu walked out of the room with a flushed face and a lot of fragrant sweat on her body.

Seeing her like this, Ye Yun coughed lightly.

"Excuse me, it seems I've disturbed your morning exercise?"
