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

"A promise made with an old friend?"

The leading empress asked with a hint of doubt.

Who are you looking for?

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then asked.

"Senior Nangong, are you here?"

If the other side were really stationed here, someone would definitely know.

Sure enough, upon hearing the name, the empress nodded in realization.

"You're looking for Fellow Daoist Nangong? He's inside."

As she spoke, she pointed in a direction.

Looking from here in the distance, you can vaguely see a new building in one corner of the valley.

Ye Yun remembered that it wasn't there when he came last time.

"Thank you, senior."

Ye Yun nodded and grinned.

At this moment, the empress in front of him also smiled and replied.

"It's nothing, it's all my fault..."

But before she could finish speaking, she suddenly seemed to realize something.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Wait a minute, what's your cultivation level, kid?!"

She stared intently at Ye Yun, and soon became even more shocked.

"Peak of the Imperial Path?!"

"You've actually reached the peak of the Imperial Dao realm?!"

It's important to know that not long has passed since Ye Yun left last time.

In such a short period of time, the opponent actually crossed an entire major realm.

This rate of improvement is simply a bit too exaggerated.

"yes."

Ye Yun nodded and smiled faintly.

"Of course, I was mainly lucky to break through and reach the peak of the Imperial Path."

He remained as low-key as ever.

However, the empress in front of her naturally didn't believe it, and even made a sarcastic remark.

"Well, you're really lucky, kid..."

Ye Yun smiled awkwardly and did not linger on the topic.

Otherwise, it's hard to guarantee that the other party won't notice something amiss.

He glanced at Nangong Jiutian's new house in the distance and said something to it.

"Alright, senior, I still have some matters to attend to with Senior Nangong, so I'll be going now."

Upon hearing this, the empress smiled and waved her hand casually.

"Alright, you can go ahead. I'll get back to work now."

Judging from the timing, this is precisely the time for cultivation here.

Many empresses were working in the fields, which looked quite peculiar.

Just then, Hong Xian'er suddenly spoke.

"Wait a minute, senior!"

Upon hearing the shout, the Empress paused for a moment, then turned and asked.

"Hmm? Is there anything else?"

Hong Xian'er took a deep breath and asked him a question.

"By the way... where is Ye Yun and Senior Tianwu's child now?"

It's clear that she really cares about this.

In the present day, that child would be even more attractive to her than Senior Nangong.

And that Empress was no fool either.

She knew about the relationship between Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er.

Now that Hong Xian'er has come here to ask about the child, there's definitely more to it than meets the eye.

So she made a decisive reply.

"My child, he is in the wooden house of Fellow Daoist Tianwu."

"She occasionally brings her child out to get some sun; you can see them over there."

Anyway, as long as this gossip doesn't burn me, I can at least enjoy the show.

Having received a reply, Hong Xian'er turned to look at Ye Yun.

"Go see Senior Nangong first and see what he wants from you."

"As for me, I'll go see Senior Tenmu first and check on the child."

Ye Yun didn't care much about these things, so he immediately nodded.

"No problem. If anything comes up, just call me anytime."

"knew……"

Hong Xian'er agreed and then quickly left, heading straight for Tian Wu's residence.

Clearly, she was eager to see her child.

After that, the two went their separate ways.

Ye Yun went directly to the newly built hut within the barrier to find Senior Nangong.

On the other side, when Hong Xian'er arrived at Tianwu's wooden house.

Before she could even go inside, she saw Tianwu sitting at the door, holding her child and leisurely basking in the sun.

Immediately, Hong Xian'er stepped forward, bowed, and spoke.

"Junior Hong Xian'er greets Senior Tianwu."

Tianwu had already noticed her when she arrived.

As she approached, she looked Hong Xian'er up and down, a smile appearing on her face.

"I knew you would come."

Clearly, Hong Xian'er's arrival was entirely within her expectations.

Hong Xian'er's gaze remained fixed on the petite and adorable baby girl in Tian Wu's arms.

At the same time, Tianwu's gaze also fell on Hongxian'er.

As if she had thought of something, she asked a question jokingly.

"Little girl, judging from your expression, are you perhaps quite displeased with me?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Xian'er was taken aback at first, then shook her head slightly.

"This junior dares not."

"You dare not?"

She glanced at Hong Xian'er and said meaningfully.

"Your displeasure is practically written all over your face."

As an Emperor-level expert, although his ability to read people's expressions was not as good as that of Nangong Jiutian.

But he could easily see through Hong Xian'er's disguise.

"Is...it true?"

Hong Xian'er would definitely have looked at herself if there hadn't been a mirror nearby.

Tianwu smiled faintly and nodded in affirmation.

Seeing this, Hong Xian'er fell silent for a moment.

After a moment's thought, she replied thoughtfully.

"I'm probably just a little unwilling to accept it."

Tianwu looked at her with great interest.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Hong Xian'er glanced at Xiao Nanzhi, who was in her cradle beside her.

Then, as if pondering something, she spoke slowly.

"I always took it for granted that I should be the one who had the child with him first."

"I never expected that my senior would beat me to it in this matter."

For Hong Xian'er, this was somewhat of a matter of sovereignty.

This explanation startled Tianwu for a moment, then she laughed.

"You're overthinking things, you little brat."

"I have no intention of competing with you for anything."

She didn't have any feelings for Ye Yun that could be called liking.

The reason I did those things with Ye Yun back then was indeed to try them out.

Later on, her relationship with Ye Yun became more like that of casual flings than anything else.

"I know, that's why I don't know how to solve it."

Hong Xian'er sighed, somewhat helplessly.

If Tianwu came here to compete for Ye Yun.

Then she could easily make a move against him and win Ye Yun back.

The problem is that the other party isn't.

This left her in a dilemma: neither making a move nor fighting back.

Being awkwardly stuck in the middle is really uncomfortable.

Seeing her depressed expression, Tianwu couldn't help but smile and comfort her.

"Alright, little girl, you don't need to worry about it so much."

"That kid, without a doubt, loves you deeply."

Even before, when those things happened between us, I was always thinking of you.

"Even I felt a pang of envy back then."

Hong Xian'er was taken aback and asked in surprise.

"Really?"

This was something she hadn't expected.

"Of course, I never lie."

Tianwu smiled faintly and affirmed her once again.

These words made Hong Xian'er momentarily dazed.

Unconsciously, ripples of emotion stirred within him.

Finally, she nodded slightly.

"Hmm...I understand."

A smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

……

Meanwhile, in another part of this idyllic paradise.

Ye Yun arrived at the newly built courtyard in just a few steps.

Within this small courtyard, there were two auras that Ye Yun found quite familiar.

Could it be...?

Ye Yun fell into deep thought, an idea forming in his mind.

A moment later, when he entered the courtyard, it was exactly as expected.

The moment I entered, a familiar figure appeared before me.

"Is it you?"

Upon meeting, both Ye Yun and the other party simultaneously expressed their surprise.

Although I knew they would come, I didn't expect it to be in this form.

However, Ye Yun still instinctively became vigilant, and a dragon blood silver blade condensed in front of him.

If the guy in front of him does anything amiss, his Dragon Blood Silver Blade will suddenly strike!

The reason is simple: the person standing in front of him was none other than himself.

It was none other than the Ascension Cult Leader, who had brought countless calamities to the continent.

Moreover, she wasn't in a weakened state, but rather in the complete form of an Emperor-level powerhouse!

This means that Senior Nangong did almost nothing to her.

According to Ye Yun's idea, the most basic cultivation level restriction must be imposed, otherwise it would not be safe.

As for the Ascension Cult Leader in front of him, he was relatively more composed.

Faced with Ye Yun's tense demeanor, she simply said one sentence.

"You don't need to be too nervous."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun stared intently at her and said something.

"For you, that's still necessary."

It can be said that he could let his guard down in front of Qing Shi.

He dared not be the slightest bit negligent towards the Ascension Cult Leader before him.

Who knows if this guy is up to any tricks?

"Kid, put your flying sword away."

Just as Ye Yun was locked in a fierce confrontation with the Ascension Sect Leader in front of him, a voice came from the courtyard.

As soon as the words were spoken, the owner of the voice stepped out.

As expected, the person inside is Nangong Jiutian.

She looked at Ye Yun in front of her, sized him up, and then nodded approvingly.

"Not bad, I really didn't expect you to reach the peak of the Imperial Path so quickly."

In her original estimate, Ye Yun would need at least another six months, or even a year.

Unexpectedly, the other party arrived so much earlier than planned.

Ye Yun ignored Nangong Jiutian's greeting this time.

His gaze remained fixed on the Ascension Cult Leader beside him.

Immediately afterward, Ye Yun asked Nangong Jiutian in a cold voice.

"Senior Nangong, what exactly is going on?"

"Didn't you say you'd guarantee this guy wouldn't have the ability to harm the mainland again?"

"In the end, they just gave her her freedom?"

Upon hearing his question, Nangong Jiutian was taken aback.

Then, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"free?"

She laughed a few times, then turned to the Ascension Cult Leader beside her and asked.

"Introduce yourself to her."

Upon hearing this, the Ascension Cult Leader fell silent for a moment, seemingly a little embarrassed.

But in the end, under Nangong Jiutian's gaze, he took a deep breath and slowly introduced himself to Ye Yun.

"Right now, I am Master Nangong's slave girl..."
