One of my fairy-like friends

It's precisely because Feng Shiyi is by your side, and there's no one else around, that I'm worried...

Huang Feiyan was naturally not worried about Mingyan's safety. Feng Shiyi was the Empress, and it was obvious that the Empress had left her to protect Mingyan. In this world, probably no one could kill Mingyan in front of the Empress. If they could, it must have been the Empress's intention.

But without anyone else to supervise her, it's uncertain whether Feng Shiyi will do this or that to Ming Yan.

However, Huang Feiyan thought about it and realized that even if they were present, they couldn't stop Feng Shiyi from doing this or that with Mingyan if she really wanted to. So she dismissed her concerns. After all, she was the Empress and shouldn't... have those kinds of thoughts about Mingyan.

"Alright then..." Although reluctant, Huang Feiyan knew that there was no need to rush for this moment of tenderness. Now that Mingyan had agreed to the marriage, there was no need to worry so much about what would happen next. Both of them were cultivators and could stay together for a long time.

Mingyan nodded and then turned and left.

He did not mention to Huang Feiyan that he already knew about their marital relationship, because if he said he would take responsibility for it, Feiyan would worry about him taking responsibility for his senior sister.

Now that the relationship with Feiyan is confirmed, the next step is Senior Sister...

Mingyan embarked on his journey home.

He gained considerable confidence from Huang Feiyan and was confident that he could also win over his senior sister. As long as he took the initiative, things would go much more smoothly. This was an experience he gained during his hunting career: always take the initiative so that he can control everything and change things according to his own ideas.

Mingyan encountered nothing unusual along the way and returned smoothly to the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land.

He arrived at the immortal island, and before going to find his senior sister, he naturally wanted to tell his master about his gains from his trip to the Southern Continent. He walked to Yue Wuxia's door, his feelings a mix of emotions, "Master..."

"Come in." Yue Wuxia's cool voice rang out, and Ming Yan reached out and pushed the door open to enter.

Yue Wuxia sat cross-legged on the futon, dressed in a light blue Taoist robe, her black hair falling naturally, a sight to behold. Ming Yan closed the door, "Disciple...is back."

Yue Wuxia remained silent. Ming Yan took a deep breath and began to recount what happened after the Holy Mountain.

Mingyan took out the Panlong Ancient Tree and the fragments of the tower, saying, "These are my spoils from this trip... Master, are you still angry?"

Yue Wuxia remained silent. Her back was to Mingyan, so he couldn't see her expression, or perhaps, his master simply didn't have any expression to begin with.

Seeing this, Mingyan felt somewhat helpless and could only leave, saying, "Master, then this disciple... will take his leave first..."

Yue Wuxia's voice then rang out, "What happened after you returned to Dongzhou?"

Upon hearing his master speak, Mingyan's emotions calmed down, and he recounted what had happened after returning to Dongzhou.

Including Ning Feixuan's matter and some matters concerning the Huang family, there were some things he didn't say aloud. For example, he didn't elaborate on his idea of ​​wanting all of his senior sister Feiyan's things, or what he talked about with his sister.

Yue Wuxia still didn't turn around, her back to Mingyan. After Mingyan finished speaking, she didn't say anything more.

"...Master, would you like to see the fragments of the 'Tower'?" Mingyan asked tentatively.

Yue Wuxia's silence left Mingyan feeling powerless. He knew his master was angry, but he didn't know how to appease her.

The matter of the Holy Mountain was strange to begin with, and he later realized that he had been influenced, but he was not one to defend himself, nor was he good at doing so.

Moreover, Master's words were indeed correct; I was indeed impulsive.

Mingyan took a deep breath, "Then this disciple will not disturb Master any longer..."

He was about to leave when he realized that his master had turned around without him noticing and was looking at him calmly with a cold and distant gaze. Although the master was right in front of him, he seemed as far away as the moon in the sky.

Mingyan remembered that not long after he became a disciple of his master, his master acted in this way...

Has Master become distant from me?

Mingyan pursed his lips, unsure of what to say.

"You've agreed to the marriage with the Huang family?" Yue Wuxia finally spoke, her tone cold, completely different from her previous cool yet subtly concerned tone.

"Well... due to some unforeseen circumstances, the engagement has been temporarily put on hold," Mingyan said. "I'm not officially engaged to Feiyan yet... I'm just a little surprised that Master arranged my engagement with Feiyan a long time ago..."

Mingyan didn't mean to blame Yue Wuxia, but this was a decision his master made behind his back. Mingyan hoped to use this topic to gain some initiative and find a way to break the deadlock, since the current state of the master and disciple was really inappropriate.

Upon hearing Ming Yan's words, a faint ripple appeared on Yue Wuxia's usually calm and composed face. "You don't want to marry Huang Feiyan?"

“I don’t dislike Fei Yan.” Ming Yan replied vaguely, without directly answering the question.

Yue Wuxia listened to this, unsure whether she believed it or not. She remained silent for a moment before saying, "I thought long ago that it would be difficult for you and Ning Feixuan to be together, and you were very close to Huang Feiyan. That's why I agreed when the Huang family came to us. But I didn't mean to force you."

“I know.” Mingyan nodded. “My master is very good to me, how could he force me? I naturally understand my master’s intentions, and my master does not need to explain.”

These words shut down anything Yue Wuxia wanted to say next. She narrowed her eyes, her beautiful eyes clear, cold, and unfathomable. Ming Yan did not look directly into Yue Wuxia's eyes, worried that she would see through his master's scheme.

He said all this in an attempt to soften the somewhat strained relationship between the two, emphasizing how good his master had been to him. Furthermore, regarding the Huang family matter, Yue Wuxia genuinely felt she had somewhat influenced Mingyan, making it impossible for her to maintain a high-handed attitude...

She sighed softly, "Have you reflected on your actions?"

"Disciple has been reflecting on his actions day and night. Master is right. Disciple was too impulsive. He will certainly not disappoint Master again in the future." Ming Yan was delighted to hear Yue Wuxia's attitude soften. Even he was surprised by his own methods. It turned out that he was actually quite good at talking.

Perhaps feeling that she had softened her stance too quickly, Yue Wuxia, whose attitude had relaxed considerably, tightened her face again. However, upon hearing Ming Yan's sincere words, the expression on Yue Wuxia's face finally softened once more. "Your life does not simply belong to yourself. You must always remember this."

"I have engraved every word of what Master said in my heart and will never forget it." Mingyan said with his head down. The reason why Master's attitude had softened this time was because of the matter of the Huang family. Master really did not ask for his opinion, so when he brought it up, she felt a little guilty.

There won't be such a good opportunity again, so I must not make Master angry in the future.

Mingyan couldn't bear to upset his master. He should have been the best disciple in his master's heart and should have pleased his master at all times.

"You and your senior sister... shouldn't get too close," Yue Wuxia said after thinking for a moment.

"...Why?" Mingyan was a little surprised. Just now, his master asked him if he wanted to marry Huang Feiyan. At that time, he was vague and did not say whether he wanted to marry her or not. Why did his master ask him to maintain a relationship with his senior sister right away?

"You've already agreed to the marriage with the Huang family, yet you're still thinking about your senior sister?" Yue Wuxia frowned.

"Master...how did you know..." Mingyan was momentarily surprised. He hadn't admitted it...how could Master know? She hadn't seen or heard anything...

Wait a minute, Mingyan suddenly remembered that he had a Heart-to-Heart Pendant on him. The Heart-to-Heart Pendant could see the other person's situation. Could it be that his master had been secretly watching him all along the way?

Even when she's angry, she's still secretly watching herself?

Mingyan looked up at Yue Wuxia, who, perhaps realizing she had misspoke, turned her back to him. The conversation could no longer continue, and she said coldly, "Get out of here!"

Mingyan blinked. So his master was just being stubborn... he had actually been concerned about him all along...

He chuckled to himself, then turned and left Yue Wuxia's residence.

Chapter 108 Master's Opposition

As soon as Ming Yan stepped out of Yue Wuxia's residence and closed the door behind him, he saw Yue Qingying standing in front of her wooden house, quietly watching him.

As dusk fell, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her hair and shoulders, but her face was hidden in shadow and indistinct. Mingyan looked closely and the outline of his senior sister's pretty face gradually appeared in the shadow. She stood there quietly looking at him with a faint smile on her face.

Mingyan hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked up to Yue Qingying. "Senior Sister."

"Junior brother, you're back?" Yue Qingying raised her hand, brushed a strand of hair from Ming Yan's forehead, and smoothed his slightly furrowed brows. "Have you finished dealing with things?"

"Yes." Mingyan nodded. He was silent for a moment, then said, "Things that needed to be settled have been settled."

Upon hearing this, Yue Qingying paused slightly, her hand gently stroking Ming Yan's brow. She then slowly lowered her hand, a faint smile blooming on her face. "So... you've already given up on Ning Feixuan?"

There was no surprise on her face at all. Rather, it was as if she knew something that was going to happen, but she didn't know exactly when.

This further confirmed Mingyan's idea; indeed, no one believed that he and Ning Feixuan could end up together.

Mingyan smiled and said, "It seems like Senior Sister knew a long time ago that Ning Feixuan and I wouldn't end up together? You used to be so supportive of me."

"...Now that things have come to this, there's nothing to be ashamed of. I supported you before because you were so clumsy, so I could easily find an excuse to fool you." Yue Qingying pressed her forehead against Mingyan's forehead and said with a smile, "It's not that I think fooling you is something to brag about, it's just that back then, your senior sister didn't want to dampen your enthusiasm, so this was the only way to strengthen our relationship."

"So, Senior Sister had been plotting against me all along?" Ming Yan laughed. In fact, after knowing that Senior Sister liked him, her previous slightly overly intimate actions had all become reasonable explanations.

I was completely fooled by my senior sister, but it's okay. From today onwards, I will take the initiative and not let her lead me around anymore.

“How can this be called having ulterior motives? Love cannot be spoken, it can only be kept in the heart. This is my secret crush. Moreover, I clearly like you, but I don’t want you to give up your feelings. So I can only support you. I only hope that one day, you will occasionally turn around and look at me. If that happens, I will be very satisfied.” Yue Qingying said gently, her hands lightly stroking Ming Yan’s cheeks. “Fortunately, my junior brother doesn’t seem too heartbroken. Otherwise, I would also feel sorry for him.”

Mingyan remained silent for a while. His senior sister had indeed been supporting him all along. She wasn't just offering superficial support; she had been teaching him how to pursue Ning Feixuan. Although much of what he learned from his senior sister hadn't been put to use, she had truly gone to great lengths to teach him.

Moreover, Mingyan recalled the words his senior sister had spoken when he left the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land...

If he and Ning Feixuan end up together, she will bless them; if they don't, she will wait for him forever.

If this was the way his senior sister had won him over, then Mingyan admitted that he was truly moved and touched. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

Moreover, her senior sister's eyes told her that she wasn't just saying it; if he really chose Ning Feixuan, she would truly be there to silently bless her.

Mingyan would not doubt his senior sister. Such a good senior sister, any doubt about her would be a heavy blow to her.

Mingyan remained silent, then tilted his head and gently kissed Yue Qingying's lips.

Yue Qingying was slightly surprised, not expecting Mingyan to be so proactive, but she immediately responded enthusiastically. She wrapped her arms around Mingyan's waist, wanting to merge her curvaceous and alluring body into his...

Senior Sister's reaction was completely different from Huang Feiyan's. Feiyan's flustered and shy demeanor, startled by her own initiative, contrasted sharply with Senior Sister's passionate embrace, offering herself entirely to him without reservation...

It's clear that Fei Yan is the phoenix, and a phoenix should be so passionate, while Senior Sister is Yueying, who should be reserved and shy... Haven't they completely reversed things?

Moreover, having received a response from his senior sister, Mingyan immediately gained a clear understanding.

It's unrealistic to expect Senior Sister to be as easy to deal with as Fei Yan. Senior Sister isn't as fragile as Fei Yan. Ming Yan realized he had underestimated her, but fortunately, he discovered it early.

However, Mingyan's heart sank. It would be quite troublesome for him, a novice, to deal with his senior sister.

"Mingyan, Yue Qingying." At this moment, a clear and cold voice came, causing the two people in the midst of their passionate kiss to subconsciously separate, because this clear and cold voice belonged to their common master, Yue Wuxia.

Yue Qingying's face flushed slightly as she lowered her head. Ming Yan, feeling a little embarrassed, coughed lightly twice to ease the awkwardness.

"Master." Yue Qingying bowed, but Yue Wuxia said coldly, "Come in, I have something to say to you."

Yue Qingying noticed that Yue Wuxia's tone was different from usual, and couldn't help but glance at Ming Yan, feeling puzzled.

Mingyan suddenly realized that when he left earlier, his master had told him to keep his distance from his senior sister. Was his master serious? Thinking this, Mingyan became anxious. If his master told his senior sister about the Huang family, it would mean that his senior sister would know in advance that he had agreed to the marriage with the Huang family. This was not good. Now was not a good time for his senior sister to know about this, just like Mingyan did not tell Huang Feiyan that he did not intend to give up Yue Qingying.

If I don't find a suitable opportunity to prepare them psychologically before telling them this, even my senior sister will probably be angry with me, and might even...

In short, no.

Mingyan quickly said, "Master, I have something else I want to tell you..."

Yue Wuxia glanced at Ming Yan, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded gently, "Then Qingying will have to wait..."

Yue Qingying nodded, but she was even more confused now. It seemed that her master and junior brother were hiding something from her... Wait a minute? Could it be that her master and junior brother also had that kind of relationship?

Upon considering this possibility, Yue Qingying was startled by her own exaggerated idea, but then she realized she was overthinking things. Who was her master? Although her junior brother was quite good, given her master's and his personality, and the fact that they still had a master-disciple relationship, it was impossible for them to end up together.

Mingyan followed Yue Wuxia back to her small house. He closed the door behind him and then hurriedly asked, "Master, are you going to object to me being with my senior sister?"

"Otherwise what?" Yue Wuxia turned around, her gaze cold. "What? You agreed to the marriage with the Huang family, but now you're going back on your word?"

“I have never gone back on my word. It’s just that there are other versions of the story regarding the marriage agreement with the Huang family, so it’s impossible to draw a conclusion now.” Ming Yan shook his head.

"So, you mean you might not be able to marry Huang Feiyan, so you don't want your senior sister to know before it's confirmed, lest you really can't marry Huang Feiyan and then try to harm your senior sister?" Yue Wuxia sneered.

Mingyan immediately realized that his statement was problematic. How could he sound like that kind of scum? Although in his mind, both of them were only fifty steps smaller than a hundred steps smaller than scum, there was still a difference.

He took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and then said, "That's not what I think. As for the Huang family... I want to marry Fei Yan, and as for this family... I don't want to give up my senior sister either. I want my senior sister to marry Fei Yan together."
