One of my fairy-like friends

This person was none other than Huang Junyi. At this moment, she had a light smile on her face. When she noticed that Mingyan had woken up, her smile widened even more. "Little brother? You're awake?"

Seeing the joy on her face, Mingyan knew there must be some good news, and his anxiety disappeared. "Sister, is the medicine effective?"

"My sister has woken up. It's a pity you can't enter the inner courtyard, otherwise you, the great hero, would have a chance to see her too." Huang Junyi's tone was higher than usual, and her excitement and joy were clearly visible. Ming Yan was also infected by her and was in a very good mood. He smiled and said, "That's good."

Huang Junyi walked to the bedside and sat down. "How long have you been awake?"

"After a while, I realized that the door was closed and I couldn't open it, so I sat here for a while."

"Oh, it was I who activated the formation and closed it. It can't be opened from the inside or the outside. If we tried to force it open, we would definitely be able to sense it. I really wanted to see how my sister was doing, but I was worried about you, so I resorted to this." Huang Junyi chuckled. "When you woke up and didn't see me, were you flustered? Did you think that the Huang family had just abandoned you after using you?"

Mingyan shook his head. "I guessed that my sister must have left for some reason, so I didn't think that."

"Sometimes I really worry that you'll get scammed and end up helping people count the money." Hearing Mingyan's words, Huang Junyi's pretty face showed a hint of sigh. He trusted her and the Huang family so much, which Huang Junyi naturally thought was good, but wasn't Mingyan a little too naive...? It felt like he was easily trusted by others.

“Sister, I’m not stupid. I can tell who has ulterior motives and who is good to me.” Mingyan didn’t agree with Huang Junyi’s words. “I know that neither the Huang family nor you, sister, would harm me, so why should I have any unnecessary worries?”

"You've got a sweet tongue." Huang Junyi sat up, pointed her jade finger at Ming Yan's brow, and said coquettishly, "Then you mustn't be fooled by others."

Mingyan nodded seriously, "I won't be fooled by others."

Huang Junyi stared at Ming Yan for a while, then chuckled, "My sister has just woken up. I imagine she'll recover a bit and come over to see the peach tree and you. Once things are settled here, I'll personally take you back."

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Mingyan asked tentatively. He was no longer subconsciously refusing Huang Junyi as he had before, because he knew that once this "sister" made a decision, it would be difficult to change her mind.

"What's the trouble?" Huang Junyi sat on the edge of the bed, crossed her legs, and her slender white legs were faintly visible under her skirt. She crossed her arms over her chest, and the alluring curves made Ming Yan unconsciously avoid looking at her.

"Then... I'll have to trouble you, sister." Mingyan nodded, not refusing.

"That's more like it." Seeing Ming Yan accept, Huang Junyi laughed hysterically. "Don't always think about rejecting other people's kindness. We women get hurt if we're rejected too often~"

Mingyan dared not look at her anymore. My God, although this older sister was indeed very kind to him, she was also a real vixen... Don't look at what you shouldn't look at.

Just then, another voice came from outside the door, "Mingyan! Mingyan!"

"Feiyan is here too, probably wanting to share this good news with you, but she's a bit slower than me, isn't she?" Huang Junyi waved with a smile, and the glowing patterns throughout the room gradually dimmed. Then, Huang Feiyan pushed open the door, her pretty face beaming with obvious joy, but upon seeing Huang Junyi, her joy faded slightly. "Mingyan! My aunt is awake... Huh? Second Aunt? Weren't you just in the inner hall?"

"I came to tell my little brother some good news." Huang Junyi blinked innocently and said, "Who told you to be so slow?"

"Little brother?" Huang Feiyan felt a little embarrassed. This second aunt was really playful. Mingyan was her friend, yet she called her "second aunt" and "sister," while she called Mingyan "little brother." The relationships were all messed up...

Moreover, the fact that Er Yi beat her to it made Huang Feiyan feel somewhat uneasy. Why did Er Yi rush to share this good news with Ming Yan so quickly, even before her? When did the two of them become so close?

"So... Mingyan, you already know?" Huang Feiyan looked at Mingyan, hoping he would shake his head, but Mingyan nodded. Huang Feiyan tilted her head, "Oh dear... I thought I was pretty quick..."

Huang Junyi stood up, glanced at Ming Yan with a smile, and said, "I'll take my leave for now and let you two, who are the same age, have a good chat."

With that, Huang Junyi disappeared from Ming Yan's sight.

In fact, every time Huang Junyi appeared and disappeared, Ming Yan tried to find some clues, but he could not find any each time. Huang Junyi disappeared too quickly and without any trace. Was the difference in their cultivation levels still too great? Being followed by a cultivator of such cultivation level was really frightening, but fortunately, Huang Junyi treated him very well.

After Huang Junyi left, Huang Feiyan approached, hands behind her back, a bright smile on her face. "Thank you! Everything went smoothly. My aunt has finally woken up, Mingyan..."

"No need to thank me." Mingyan shook his head. "I'm content as long as I can help."

"Hehe." Huang Feiyan chuckled, her pretty face flushing. "You...you probably don't know how important my aunt is to me...Before she fell into a coma, I was always with her, and my personality is quite like hers...My mother is either cultivating or handling family affairs, so she rarely spends time with me, and my second aunt is more playful...so only my aunt keeps me company..."

"Because of my mistake, my aunt fell into a coma. I've been filled with deep guilt ever since, but with her in a long coma, I haven't even had a chance to say sorry..." Huang Feiyan's eyes reddened slightly, and she pursed her lips. "Now, I can finally say sorry to her... If it weren't for you, I don't know how long it would have taken before I could speak to my aunt again..."

"Feiyan, you said that friends don't need to say thank you," Mingyan said. "Why are you saying thank you now..."

"Hehe..." Huang Feiyan rubbed her eyes and laughed happily, "Oh right, I forgot, we're friends... My aunt will probably come to see you and your savior once she recovers..."

"I only provided blood; I can't say I saved your life."

"In my heart, in my mother's and second aunt's hearts, and in my aunt's heart, you are my aunt's savior." Huang Feiyan shook her head, somewhat sighing, "If I hadn't asked Feixuan to investigate the situation in Longling back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't have met you... Our fate was connected from that moment on. I hope we can be friends for life. A cultivator's life is very long... I hope that many years later, we can still sit together, chat, and talk about life."

Huang Feiyan was sincerely grateful to Mingyan. If it weren't for him, she might have died long ago. If it weren't for him, her aunt wouldn't have woken up. Moreover, he was the fruit that grew because of the cause she planted. This fruit was especially sweet. This fate was truly hard-won and should be cherished.

"I think there shouldn't be any problem," Mingyan said with a smile. Whether he ultimately wins Ning Feixuan's heart or not, whether he marries her or not, it won't affect his relationship with Huang Feiyan. He will strive to achieve his goal...

"Alright, I have to go back now. Auntie is awake and there are still many things to take care of. Mother will probably hold a banquet to celebrate Auntie's arrival. She'll probably be busy again for a while. I heard from Mother that Second Aunt will take you back to Yutai Fudi. With Second Aunt there, I don't need to worry about your safety..." Huang Feiyan breathed a sigh of relief. The heavy weight on her heart had finally been lifted, which put her at ease. However, Huang Qingfei also had many things to take care of after waking up, so she probably wouldn't have much time to spend with Mingyan.

"Go and get down to business." Mingyan nodded.

Huang Feiyan turned around, walked to the door, glanced back at Ming Yan, smiled brightly, and then left.

After Huang Feiyan left, Huang Junyi appeared gracefully, her smile alluring, "This girl, she said I'm more playful..."

"I think you really love to have fun, sister..." Mingyan secretly glanced at Huang Junyi and thought to himself.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Finding Fei Yan While Helping Out with My Sister

News from within the Huang family did not reach the outer courtyard, and the Huang family did not announce the news of Huang Qingfei's awakening.

The Phoenix family is clearly making some preparations, and they probably won't announce this news until then.

When Huang Qingfei fell into a coma, the Huang family tried to cover it up, but Huang Qingfei refused to show herself and the Huang family kept looking for ways to wake her up. In the end, they couldn't hide it, and the news of the Huang family losing a half-step Renying was spread. It was only because the Huang family had a deep foundation that the news of other great families or immortal cultivation holy lands losing a half-step Renying would likely cause them a lot of trouble.

After all, most aristocratic families and leisure resorts only have one or two half-step people to greet them.

After several days of recovery, Mingyan's body showed no abnormalities. Although he was not in the same excellent condition as before, he was already full of energy.

The time to leave the Huang family is drawing ever closer.

The matter of who stole An Ran's veil was delayed because of Huang Qingfei's awakening. An Ran did not come to see Ming Yan at that time, and the two did not have much entanglement.

On the third day after Huang Qingfei awoke, a guest appeared outside Mingyan's room.

Huang Junyi lay on the bed, sensing a familiar presence outside the door, and said with a smile, "Qingfei has arrived."

Mingyan, who was meditating and cultivating to the side, opened his eyes and looked outside the door, which remained tightly closed.

Huang Junyi sat up and said with a smile, "She must be looking at the peach tree outside the door. She's been in a coma for so many years, the peach tree has grown quite a bit. Let's go and take a look."

Mingyan nodded and left the room with Huang Junyi.

Mingyan's room was located in a corner, and few people usually came here. After Mingyan's accident, the Huang family intentionally or unintentionally isolated this area. At this moment, there were no outsiders here. Mingyan and Huang Junyi walked out together and saw a woman in green standing under the peach tree.

Most of the women in the Huang family like to wear red, including Huang Junru, Huang Junyi, Huang Feiyan, and other women in the Huang family. Only Huang Qingfei is quite unique.

Strangely, the peach trees that had already shed their blossoms and fruit suddenly bloomed again with vibrant peach blossoms, filling the courtyard with a rich and mellow fragrance, somewhat reminiscent of the peach blossom wine that Huang Junyi drank.

A gust of autumn wind blew by, causing the peach blossoms to sway slightly and their fragrance to intensify. This, combined with the peaches on the tree, created a beautiful scene. The woman in green under the tree looked up at the peach tree, seemingly mesmerized, and remained motionless.

The woman's green dress had a slimming effect, revealing her graceful figure. She had her back to Ming Yan and Huang Junyi, and her hair was half-tied up, looking casual but very beautiful.

“Over the past ten years, this tree hasn’t changed much.” Huang Junyi broke the harmonious scene, smiling as she said, “It looked like this before you fell into a coma, and it looks pretty much the same after you fell into a coma.”

"The flowers should have withered long ago. Did they know I was coming and bloom again?" The woman in green asked, still staring blankly at the peach tree without turning around.

"Probably so. You brought it back, and it's been with you for many years. Plus, it's been imbued with the spiritual energy of the ancient peach tree, so it's normal for it to develop some intelligence." Huang Junyi nodded. "It probably missed you too."

The woman in green lowered her head and remained silent for a while before turning around to look at Ming Yan and Huang Junyi.

"Second sister... I presume this young friend is the savior that eldest sister and Feiyan spoke of?" A smile bloomed on the woman's face. In an instant, the originally beautiful peach blossoms lost their color and could only become a backdrop to the brocade. She bowed and nodded. "Thank you for your kindness, young friend. Feiyan told me a lot. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would have had the chance to see the peach blossoms bloom again in this life."

The woman in green was naturally Huang Qingfei. She was different from Huang Junyi. Huang Junyi was the kind of woman who was beautiful at first glance, but not the kind of woman who was extremely beautiful. However, the more you looked at her, the more beautiful she became. The longer you looked at her, the more you would find that she had an unparalleled temperament and was incomparably beautiful. Huang Qingfei, on the other hand, was the kind of woman whose appearance would leave a deep impression at first glance. Even "stunning" was not enough to describe her. When she smiled, the whole world seemed to lose its color. Although she was not very similar to Huang Feiyan in appearance, she was similar in this respect. Huang Feiyan was also the kind of woman who would be stunning at first glance.

Ming Yan calmly withdrew his gaze. During his time with Huang Junyi, he had suffered greatly, but he had also developed a good sense of self-control.

"No need to thank me. I didn't give for nothing. The Huang family also gave me a lot of help and benefits. If I thank them again, I will feel guilty." Mingyan shook his head. Huang Feiyan, Huang Junyi, and the entire Huang family had given him a lot of benefits and conditions. Mingyan was already satisfied. He was never a greedy person. Taking what he deserved was enough.

Huang Qingfei nodded and smiled, "There's no point in saying more. I will remember your kindness. I know you will be leaving the Huang family soon. Please don't tell anyone else about my awakening for the time being."

Mingyan nodded. "I'm very tight-lipped and won't let anything slip."

Seeing this, Huang Qingfei smiled gently, "If you need my help in the future, you can ask Feiyan to tell me. As a half-step Renying, I should be able to help you."

What does "should" mean... Mingyan was silent for a while. This promise was too heavy. Of course, Mingyan also knew that the other party did not mean that she would agree to any request he made, but if he was in danger, she would definitely be willing to save him.

Mingyan clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "Thank you... for your kindness, Fairy."

Mingyan originally wanted to call her "Auntie," but after thinking about it, he felt that calling her "Auntie" might be too overly familiar. The other party was not as outgoing as Huang Junyi, so calling her "Sister" would be even more inappropriate. Therefore, after much thought, he called her "Fairy."

Huang Qingfei smiled gently, turned around, glanced at the peach tree, and then transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the courtyard.

"Alright, everything's settled now. Once Fei Yan comes to say goodbye, it'll be about time to let you go back." Huang Junyi leaned closer and whispered in Ming Yan's ear. Her slightly sticky voice made Ming Yan's heart itch. This vixen had so many seductive tricks up her sleeve. She tried different methods each time. The first time she seemed a little clumsy, and it was clear that this was her first time using such seductive methods to get along with someone. But the second time she was very skilled. She could only be described as a born vixen.

Mingyan nodded and subtly distanced himself slightly.

It's time to end my journey with the Phoenix Clan and think about my future.

This trip to the Huang family was very rewarding for Mingyan. The "Sun and Moon Scripture" given to him by Huang Feiyan, as well as the kindness he remembered from Huang Junyi, Huang Qingfei, and Huang Junru, will likely be of great help to him in the future. It would be difficult to refuse such kindness, and to do so would seem too aloof and hypocritical. Perhaps accepting it frankly is the best course of action.

"When are you planning to leave?" Huang Junyi asked with a smile as she saw Ming Yan move back a little. Teasing this little brother was really fun. It was a pity that after he left, there wouldn't be anyone so fun to play with. Huang Feiyan was not a licentious person. The reason she was willing to tease Ming Yan was because she initially thought highly of him. After spending time with him, she found that he was extremely innocent in some ways, and she admired some of his views. In other words, if Ming Yan had acted like a seasoned womanizer, even if she admired him, she would never have taken the initiative to tease him, and might even have kept her distance.

As they spent time together, and given that Mingyan could save his younger sister Huang Qingfei, Huang Junyi developed feelings for him. Knowing that this little brother would only endure with a blank expression, she became somewhat unrestrained and even addicted to him.

During this time, I chatted and laughed with Mingyan and teased him occasionally, which relieved my loneliness of many years. It's a pity that Mingyan will not be a member of the Huang family in the end. He will leave. I wonder if he can still maintain such innocence when I see him again.

"After saying goodbye to Feiyan today, you can leave," Mingyan said. Since things have come to an end, there is no need to stay here any longer.

"Leaving in such a hurry? Isn't there anyone or anything here that you'd like to stay?" Huang Junyi smiled charmingly, intending to tease Ming Yan.

“Life is long, and given my relationship with Fei Yan, I will definitely see my sister many times.” Ming Yan knew what she meant by “people and things worth cherishing.” Although he was rather naive in that regard, he was not lacking in emotional intelligence, so how could he not understand what Huang Junyi meant?

Hearing Mingyan's words, Huang Junyi smiled, the ambiguity at the corner of her mouth lessening, and she sighed slightly, "If it weren't for Feiyan, would you not have come to find your sister?"

“Sister is incredibly powerful. If I successfully join the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave at will. I'll have to trouble you to come find me.” Mingyan scratched his head. Although Huang Junyi was very enchanting, she was really good to him. Mingyan was actually a little reluctant to part with her. But all good things must come to an end, and cultivators have long lifespans. There will always be a time when they meet again.

"You rascal, you expect your sister to go looking for you?" Huang Junyi playfully pinched Ming Yan's cheek and gently twisted it. "I'm a woman, there's no reason for me to come looking for you."

"Is that really a saying?" Mingyan asked, somewhat puzzled. "Can't women take the initiative to chat with men?"

"What kind of man are you? You're more like a boy." Huang Junyi chuckled and put her hand down. "But the next time I see you, you might have become a man."

"Does one have to be an adult to be considered a man?"

"correct."

“Then next time I see you, sister, I might be a man.” Mingyan nodded. “If you can’t reach out to me, I’ll definitely come to see you when I have time.”

"Did you come to find your sister because of your sister, or did you come to find your sister incidentally because of Fei Yan?" Huang Junyi asked with a smile, her hands behind her back.

Mingyan is simple-minded, but not stupid. "I'll look for Feiyan while I'm at it for my sister's sake."

“...Hahahaha…” Huang Junyi paused for a moment, then clutched her stomach and laughed, “You can say that to me, but please don’t say it to Fei Yan.”

"I'm not stupid..." Mingyan secretly rolled his eyes.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Returning Home

Mingyan didn't need to pack anything. The "Sun and Moon Scripture" was still in his dantian, and its mysteries would probably only be understood in the future.
