One of my fairy-like friends

“I’ve already broken through to the Taiyi realm,” Mingyan said. “However, my cultivation level was raised through some special methods… You don’t need to think about catching up with me…”

"Taiyi???" Liu Mengli's face was filled with disbelief. How long had it been since they last met? Her senior brother had already broken through from Shenque to Taiyi? Would he be at Shenfeng next time they met? And then Xuanji the time after that? Was it that fast? Wasn't it said that the higher one's cultivation level, the longer it took to break through? How come it felt like her senior brother's breakthrough speed hadn't slowed down at all despite the increase in his cultivation level?

"Hasn't the gap between our cultivation levels narrowed?" Mingyan said with a smile. "I've only broken through one level, while you've already broken through many levels."

After saying that, Mingyan reached out and ruffled Liu Mengli's hair. "You're really amazing, even more amazing than your senior brother."

"I'm not as good as Senior Brother," Liu Mengli shook her head upon hearing this. "Senior Brother is the best... But, Senior Brother's praise..."

As she spoke, Liu Mengli laughed. Clearly, she was quite happy to hear Ming Yan's praise. After all, what she had been thinking about all this time was to improve her strength as soon as possible and make Ming Yan proud.

Mingyan lowered his hand and sighed softly, "I feel like you'll be an adult in another year."

"What are you saying, senior brother?" Liu Mengli looked at Ming Yan with some confusion. "I'm only fourteen this year..."

But I'll see you next time...

Mingyan smiled and didn't bring up the previous topic again. "After you came to Fenglingyueying, did you go back to Yutai Blessed Land?"

“I went back once,” Liu Mengli said. “Now I’m the top dog among the younger generation at Yutai Blessed Land!”

“You’re almost the boss in Fengling Yueying…” Mingyan laughed. Even his senior sister at this age didn’t have Liu Mengli’s current cultivation level. Apart from himself and his senior sister, Liu Mengli’s current cultivation level is already considered a top genius among the younger generation of Fengling Yueying.

"With my senior brother here, I can only be the second oldest at most... Oh, right, my senior brother also has a senior sister, so he'll be the third oldest..." Liu Mengli said with a giggle.

“…” Mingyan smiled and said, “I plan to go back to Yutai Blessed Land in a while. Would you like to come with me?”

"Okay~ When are you leaving, Senior Brother? Let my Master take us back, it won't take long to fly there~" Liu Mengli nodded, grinning, "But Senior Brother's Master might be even faster..."

"Let's just get through today. Take a rest first," Mingyan said. The matter of Liu Mengli was bothering him. He didn't believe his memory was faulty, but this Liu Mengli before him, judging from both her words and her physical condition, did indeed seem to be fourteen years old...

Mingyan wanted to ask his sister about this unusual behavior. Besides, now that they had arrived at the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land, his sister should adjust the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow formation, which should take a few days.

If it benefits Liu Mengli, then it doesn't matter. But if her time flows at the same rate as others, she will grow up quickly and... quickly exhaust her lifespan. Mingyan is a little worried about this.

"Okay, I'll just call you when the time comes... Is Senior Brother leaving?" Liu Mengli blinked at Ming Yan.

"Okay, I'm going back now." Ming Yan patted Liu Mengli's head again and smiled, "See you tomorrow."

"...I always feel like the time I spend with my senior brother is too short..." Liu Mengli pouted. "When... can Mengli stay by my senior brother's side forever?"

“Once all this is over, once the dark turmoil is quelled, life will be very leisurely. At that time, we can stay together as long as we want.” Mingyan smiled and said, “Alright, junior sister, I’m leaving now.”

"Hmm..." Liu Mengli nodded reluctantly. Ming Yan reached out and patted her head again before leaving.

Mingyan quickly returned to the immortal island and met Wang Qingchu. "Sister."

"Hmm." Wang Qingchu had her eyes closed, with occasional flashes of divine light emanating from her body. Upon hearing Ming Yan's voice, she opened her eyes and smiled.

Mingyan briefly explained Liu Mengli's situation, and Wang Qingchu was somewhat surprised, "Is there such a thing?"

She had previously used her divine sense to observe Liu Mengli's condition. She noticed from the beginning that Liu Mengli was somewhat different, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different about her.

Logically speaking, how could time flow at a different pace on only one person? But Wang Qingchu trusted Mingyan unconditionally, so she naturally believed what Mingyan said about Liu Mengli being an eight-year-old girl more than two years ago.

As a half-step Extreme Dao cultivator who had touched upon the Extreme Dao realm, Wang Qingchu's divine sense, like that of the Great Emperor, had leaped to another level. Within her divine sense, she had confirmed that Liu Mengli's skeleton was indeed that of a fourteen-year-old girl...

How amazing...

"I'll deal with the formation first. After that, I'll check on Liu Mengli's condition carefully. Don't worry. Even if it's really as you think, it's not necessarily a bad thing for Liu Mengli right now. It's very likely that this is the reason why her cultivation has improved so quickly. Besides, she probably wants to grow up quickly too..." Wang Qingchu comforted her softly.

Mingyan nodded, relieved to receive his sister's assurance.

Chapter 152 You are my master, but not just my master

These past few days, Wang Qingchu has been adjusting the formation of Feng Lingyueying.

Empress Moonshadow has been gone for far too long. The Emperor-level formation she left behind is not something that ordinary people can inspect or repair. Of course, even after so many years, the formation will not have any major problems. This is an Emperor-level formation, which involves things in the extreme realm.

The ultimate path is equivalent to transcending the existing rules and operating in parallel with the Great Dao. Therefore, anything involving the ultimate path can no longer be measured by the ideas under the rules of the Great Dao.

Mingyan arrived at Yue Wuxia's room and looked around.

He had been to his master's room many times before. There was nothing new there. The room was very simple, with only a bed that seemed to be used as decoration, a futon, and a wooden table in front of the bed.

There was only one potted plant on the wooden table. Mingyan walked to the plant. It was the Quiet Half Moon that he had given to his master, and it still showed no signs of aging.

Interestingly, some plants have very long lifespans, such as certain species. However, if they become intelligent and transform into demons, their lifespan, like that of humans, follows their cultivation level. Of course, they generally live longer than human cultivators.

Extending the lifespan of these unintelligent plants is not difficult. The original owner of that underground tomb was just someone abandoned on the road to becoming emperor. If his lifespan could be extended, it shows how easy it is.

After gaining intelligence, the lifespan of living beings actually decreased significantly... Intelligent? It was bought with their lives...

Ming Yan gently lifted the tranquil crescent moon, recalling the moment he gave it to Yue Wuxia, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

I never imagined that I would have this kind of relationship with my master.

When he gave this flower, his master had already revealed his true colors. Although Mingyan was deeply moved at that time, how could he have the courage to have any evil thoughts about his master?

That's my master, someone who's both a teacher and a mother figure to me. She's someone I shouldn't have any thoughts of defiling.

In this world, teacher-student relationships, whether male teacher and female student or female teacher and male student, are unacceptable and will be met with a lot of exclusion, disdain, and condemnation.

But in the end, it still turned into this kind of relationship...

"Mingyan, you've returned to Fenglingyueying?" Just as Mingyan was reminiscing about the past, Yue Wuxia's voice echoed in his mind. He snapped out of his reverie and replied, "Master? Yes, my sister and I have returned temporarily..."

Mingyan explained why he had returned and his upcoming trip to the Holy Yuan Dynasty.

Upon hearing this, Yue Wuxia instinctively wanted to say, "I'll go with you," but in the end, no sound reached her. Because now that Wang Qingchu was with Ming Yan, her master no longer needed to protect him...

Thinking of this, Yue Wuxia was somewhat lost in thought, and suddenly felt a sense of loss...

Although Mingyan calls her Master, does Mingyan really need her guidance now?

If there was anything Mingyan didn't understand about cultivation, Wang Qingchu could answer his questions. Compared to asking himself, who was just a sage, Wang Qingchu, who had already attained enlightenment in a different way, was Mingyan's first choice.

Moreover, he was already closer to Wang Qingchu than he was to him...

She could no longer teach Mingyan anything, and now the guardians no longer needed her presence. Wang Qingchu and Mingyan were inseparable and very safe.

Yes, Mingyan doesn't need her anymore...

"Master? Master? Why are you suddenly silent? You don't agree to me going to the Holy Yuan Dynasty? Then I won't go..." Ming Yan didn't hear Yue Wuxia's response for a while, and felt a little uneasy. Could it be that his master didn't want him to go to the Holy Yuan Dynasty? But why?

When Yue Wuxia came to her senses, she couldn't quite describe how she felt after hearing Ming Yan's words.

Does he... care that much about his own thoughts?

Because I "didn't want" him to go, he didn't go?

Does he... still care about me that much? Is I, his master, no longer of any use to him?

Although this was something Yue Wuxia had been pursuing, she found it hard to believe when faced with the reality of the moment.

"Master...?" Mingyan still didn't hear a response from Yue Wuxia, and his heart was filled with anxiety. Could it be? His master got angry just because they went to the Holy Yuan Dynasty? Is she that petty? The Holy Yuan Dynasty isn't that bad, is it?

“I want to go with you,” Yue Wuxia replied to Ming Yan.

"...I see..." Hearing Yue Wuxia's voice again, Mingyan finally felt relieved. "Then I'll have my sister come to pick up Master..."

"Um... Also, I hope that this trip will be just the group of us, and we won't bring anyone else along," Yue Wuxia added.

Mingyan was taken aback. What did this mean? Not taking anyone else along? What was Master planning to do?

After considering a certain possibility, Mingyan felt a surge of joy. Could it be that his master had finally decided to face his own heart?

"I understand...!" Mingyan nodded vigorously. Good, good, good... Master, have you finally made up your mind?

After a moment of silence, Yue Wuxia said, "Do you still consider me your master in your heart?"

Mingyan, who was overjoyed, subconsciously wanted to answer "of course" when he heard the question, but he immediately controlled himself. This question... was probably not so simple.

If it weren't for what she said earlier, her master's question would probably be because her approach made Mingyan feel a lot of pressure, and she was reminding him to be mindful of his distance. However, the fact that she asked this question after saying that she didn't want others to accompany her makes it seem somewhat subtle.

Could it be that Master wants to... end their master-disciple relationship? She believes that only in this way can she feel at ease being with him?

Although this is like taking off your pants to fart—a pointless exercise—if it were true, it would be a further sign of the Master's compromise...

If there shouldn't be that kind of relationship between master and disciple, then they shouldn't be master and disciple. Perhaps that would solve a lot of problems, wouldn't it?

But...

Mingyan did not deny his admiration for his master, but his feelings for his master were not just admiration... but also deep respect.

Besides, so what if they're master and disciple? Does that mean they can't be together?

As long as one is strong enough, and as long as one can truly become an emperor, who can criticize one's actions?

Therefore, after careful consideration, Mingyan said, "My master will always be my master..."

Upon hearing this answer, Yue Wuxia felt a mix of emotions. Did this rebellious disciple... not know what she was thinking?

“But he won’t always be just a master,” Mingyan added.

Chapter 153 Wang Qingchu Wholesale Bracelets

Mingyan's words left Yue Wuxia, who was already feeling uneasy, speechless. This rebellious disciple... it wasn't that he didn't understand her thoughts, but that he wanted her to develop a master-disciple relationship with him. What others considered taboo, he not only didn't want to avoid, but even wanted to enjoy that kind of transgressive thrill?

This traitor is truly beyond redemption!

Yue Wuxia was somewhat annoyed and immediately ended the contact.

Mingyan smiled, feeling delighted that he and his master had finally reached this point, and he couldn't wait any longer.

He is no longer the innocent boy he once was. He has been tempered and refined by his senior sister, Fei Yan, Fairy Sister, Ni Chang, and Aunt Ning. In his presence, his master is like an innocent child...

Mingyan left Yue Wuxia's room and stood there, looking at Wang Qingchu.

Wang Qingchu closed her eyes, her body shimmering with divine light. Dressed in white, she appeared ethereal and otherworldly, her beauty seemingly otherworldly...

Speaking of which, the Phoenix Clan, Moon Cinema, and Yaochi all have their own uniforms...

The uniforms of Yaochi are mostly cyan and white, while those of the Huang family are all red. As for Yueyingyuan, they are all blue, but they are divided into light blue and dark blue. Even the Taoist robe that Master wore before was light blue, and the ruqun he is wearing now is still light blue.

You can tell which holy family they belong to just by looking at their clothes...

Mingyan had taken a lot of look at Wang Qingchu, and he was amazed every time he saw her. He could never get tired of looking at her beauty and figure, and she was also his very close sister. Wang Qingchu had a very high rating in Mingyan's heart.

second only to...

Forget it, there's no need to make my ranking clear. I have so many women around me, most of whom are close to me, so I need to treat them all equally.

Mingyan stared at Wang Qingchu, and before he knew it, two days had passed.
