One of my fairy-like friends

Yue Wuxia's expression was somewhat disdainful. She could still clearly feel that traitor's lust for her. Before, when she didn't know Ming Yan's true thoughts, she might have worried about Ning Mengru's threat, but now, Ning Mengru was nothing.

"Master..." Seeing that her master was still so dismissive, Yue Qingying felt a chill run through her heart. What should she do? What's wrong with her master? Why doesn't he care at all?

You think you're so great, so aloof... but you don't even consider your disciple's feelings. Even if your junior brother values ​​you highly, what about yourself?

"..." Yue Wuxia couldn't help but find it amusing to see Yue Qingying's ashen face. "Are you that afraid of them? Don't you have any confidence in your junior brother?"

"I lack confidence in myself," Yue Qingying sighed softly. "Master, strengths and weaknesses are determined by comparison. In the future, several people from Yaochi will be able to help Junior Brother cultivate alone, while I'll be alone... I can't compete. It's alright for a while, but in the long run..."

"...? So you actually want to drag me along with that rebellious disciple...Sanxiu?" Yue Wuxia raised an eyebrow, somewhat embarrassed and angry. "What are you thinking?!"

"Master, if others can do it, why can't we? Does that mean others are superior and we are inferior?" Yue Qingying sighed, truly angry at his lack of ambition. Even if Master was very important to her junior brother, even more important than Ning Mengru, what about Ning Feixuan? What about An Ran?

Needless to say, the situation is even worse for the Huang family. Master is already fighting three, and might even have to fight five in the future... Yue Qingying originally thought that even she and Master weren't enough, but now she can't get past Master...

It seems my only option is to return to Fenglingyueying and work on developing relationships with the Supreme Elder and Junior Sister...

"..." Seeing Yue Qingying's disappointment, Yue Wuxia raised an eyebrow and said, "You have some misjudgments about your junior brother. He is not the kind of person who is fickle... So even if there are some factional struggles as you said, it will not affect your position in his heart."

In this regard, Yue Wuxia had a lot of confidence in Mingyan. Although Mingyan was a womanizer, he could sometimes be very good at maintaining a balanced perspective. Just like how she had to force him to say that she was more important to him than Ning Mengru after several attempts, Mingyan was not the type to favor one person just because they tried to please him.

If that's the case, he won't be able to maintain this... harem.

In fact, Mingyan would not neglect anyone for these reasons, that is a fact.

“But Master…” Yue Qingying wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Yue Wuxia.

"However, I understand your concerns... Give me some time... let me think it over." Yue Wuxia was somewhat exhausted. Not only had she been carried to bed by her traitorous disciple, but this other disciple was now trying to drag her along to be carried to bed with him again... Both of her disciples were traitors...

Seeing that her master's tone had changed, Yue Qingying's face lit up with joy. "Master... you really need to think this over carefully. Even if Junior Brother can really do what you say, at least this way we'll be safer, won't we?"

Yue Wuxia waved her hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, you can go out now..."

Yue Qingying was secretly delighted, knowing that since her master had already made such a statement, it was practically a done deal. She nodded, turned around, and walked out.

Yue Wuxia lowered her hand and sighed softly. Actually, it was already quite good that Yue Qingying didn't hold her previous harassment against her. Although she was the master, she had indeed done some things that were not very ethical... In this matter, she should consider her idea more... In any case, in the end, it would only benefit that rebellious disciple Mingyan. If it benefits that rebellious disciple, it won't benefit anyone else, right?

Can I really keep Mingyan in check? Why do I feel like I'm being led around by Mingyan?

Chapter 175 Following Young Master Ming for This Life

After Yue Qingying came out of the room, she looked around for Mingyan. She couldn't wait to tell him the good news.

If Mingyan manages to persuade his master, and then tries to coax and plead with him, wouldn't his master be easily dragged into it? Once the first time has happened, the second and third times will be beyond his master's control. I'm sure Junior Brother has plenty of ways to make Master give in.

Yue Qingying quickly found Ming Yan and walked over to him, directly sending him a telepathic message, "Junior Brother...!"

"Senior Sister?" Mingyan turned around and replied telepathically, "Why are you using telepathy? Can't Master hear us?"

“Hmm…” Yue Qingying told Mingyan every word of her conversation with Yue Wuxia, including the reason for dragging Yue Wuxia into the mess—to compete with the Huang family and Yaochi. She told Mingyan without any concealment, “Junior brother, if you want Master to agree, it’s best to make Master feel that you don’t value her as much as before. That way, Master will give in.”

Yue Qingying's method was quite ruthless. Since her master was so confident that her junior brother would always value her, she should just reveal it to him directly. Wouldn't it be easy for him to win over her master?

Oh, no, that's not right. I've already won her over. Now I'm trying to get my master to accept the idea of ​​her cultivating with her and her fellow disciples.

With this move, and a little breeze from him, his master would have no choice but to give in.

But after hearing this, Mingyan transmitted his voice to Yue Qingying, "There's no need to use this method with Master. Master is just stubborn. If you find an opportunity to say it a couple of times, Master will agree."

"Really?" Although Yue Qingying knew that her master could easily defeat him after saying those words, she didn't think it would be as easy as her junior brother said.

"Senior sister, don't you trust me?" Ming Yan transmitted his voice, "Senior sister, you don't need to worry. I won't let you down."

"Hmm..." Yue Qingying smiled slightly, then took Mingyan's hand and said, "I've missed you so much since you left."

"I miss my senior sister too." Mingyan put his arm around Yue Qingying's slender waist and kissed her cherry lips.

"You're probably having so much fun with your master that you don't even want to go home, and you still miss me~" Yue Qingying chuckled. She knew her junior brother all too well, but even so, her eyes were still full of tenderness when she looked at Ming Yan.

"Does Senior Sister also know about being so happy that you forget your homeland?" Mingyan asked curiously.

"Ah, I've read some novels about the mortal realm, and they're quite interesting," Yue Qingying said with a smile.

The two were inseparable, their separation making them feel even closer to home. They were all lovey-dovey and sweet, and soon they went to Yue Qingying's room together to begin their dual cultivation.

When Mingyan cultivates with a female cultivator whose strength is higher than his, he naturally gains more benefits. However, when he cultivates with a female cultivator whose strength is currently lower than his, the benefits they gain are almost equal.

After numerous dual cultivation sessions, Yue Qingying's strength has reached the peak of the Divine Palace.

Therefore, as long as Mingyan has female cultivators with sufficient strength by his side, he can become a fairy-making machine after he grows up. It is conceivable that if he can become an emperor as his sister said, then when he cultivates with everyone, everyone will also benefit greatly.

————————————————————

Just as Mingyan and Yue Qingying were entwined in passion, an unexpected guest arrived at the Huang family.

The Huang family was no stranger to this person, as she had spent several years there. Indeed, it was An Ran. When Huang Feiyan came out to greet An Ran, she was even more astonished by her strength...

Because it was Huang Qingfei who noticed her arrival, and Huang Qingfei told Huang Feiyan that An Ran was now at the Taiyi level.

"Miss Huang, it's been a long time." An Ran was wearing a long emerald green dress and some floral decorations in her hair. She was elegant and beautiful, with a natural charm. Huang Feiyan didn't know if it was because her current temperament was different from her previous weak and sickly appearance, or for some other reason, but she felt that An Ran was more beautiful than before.

"...Yes, it's been a while..." Huang Feiyan's expression turned slightly strange as she recalled their last meeting. Their relationship hadn't been particularly friendly back then; An Ran had publicly confessed her love to Ming Yan, which had greatly angered Huang Feiyan...

"I apologize for my abrupt visit, Miss Huang." An Ran gave a slight bow, her smile gentle. "I won't waste any more words. Actually, I've come to see Young Master Ming."

Huang Feiyan could guess that An Ran wasn't there to reminisce. She probably found out that Ming Yan was in the Huang family and came looking for her. Although she harbored some resentment towards An Ran, she didn't turn her away but let her into the inner courtyard.

“Speaking of which, I’ve never been to the inner courtyard before.” An Ran walked side by side with Huang Feiyan, and said with some emotion, “I am very grateful to the Huang family for taking me in during that time, and I am also very grateful to Miss Huang. I know that during that time, Miss Huang really wanted to help me.”

"That's all in the past. If you're really grateful, it's good that you're not getting involved." Huang Feiyan shrugged helplessly.

"Miss Huang, are you referring to Young Master Ming's matter?" An Ran asked, her hands behind her back. She was dressed in a green dress and had a refreshing and pleasant smile. "Only this matter, I'm afraid I cannot comply, Miss Huang."

Huang Feiyan also knew this. She sighed inwardly. Things were different now. Back then, Mingyan didn't have many women around him, but now, there were all sorts of competitors. There was no shortage of An Ran, and no shortage of An Ran.

"Miss An, didn't you become the Empress's disciple? Have you achieved success in your cultivation?" Huang Feiyan asked.

"Hmm... I guess so. After my master passed on her self-created Imperial Scripture to me, she left. I don't know where she went..." An Ran nodded gently, brushing her hair that was being blown by the wind. "My master told me that if I wanted to see her, I should come and find Young Master Ming. I came here not only to see Young Master Ming, but also to try to contact my master."

"...Actually, Miss An is now an absolute outstanding person. Among the top talents I've met, Yu Mudan and Gu Hanshuang are not as powerful as you now..." Huang Feiyan said. Among the younger generation she knew, Ming Yan was probably the only one whose cultivation was higher than An Ran's now. "Someone as outstanding as you doesn't need to dwell on the past. A fairy as outstanding as you has no shortage of suitors."

“Miss Huang… If it weren’t for Young Master Ming, I might be dead by now.” An Ran smiled and said, “I am not qualified to use my own strength. Only Young Master Ming is qualified to use it. I have already decided to follow Young Master Ming for the rest of my life. Even my master supports my idea. You don’t need to say anything more.”

Chapter 176 Yue Wuxia's Dilemma

Upon hearing this, Huang Feiyan looked at An Ran with a complicated expression.

Huang Feiyan was involved in An Ran's affairs from beginning to end, so she had a fairly good understanding of An Ran's feelings for Ming Yan.

In such a bleak life, living was perhaps nothing more than waiting to die, and then Mingyan appeared and saved her from the edge of a cliff...

Huang Feiyan was also saved by Ming Yan, so there are some similarities between them. Although such things are old-fashioned, they are also the easiest things to generate goodwill.

People have no right to define what one likes, and Huang Feiyan could also see that An Ran was not the kind of person who would be easily swayed.

“I believe that with my current cultivation level, I should be able to help Young Master Ming.” An Ran smiled slightly when she saw Huang Feiyan fall silent.

Huang Feiyan raised her head and said, "Actually, the current situation is rather special... Mingyan doesn't really need to compete with those so-called geniuses anymore."

The greatest opportunity is right beside him. He can improve his cultivation level rapidly without leaving home, so why should he compete with those with lower cultivation levels for any opportunity?

Of course, it's not because Wang Qingchu has been revived. Although Wang Qingchu has awakened, he wouldn't participate in those battles if Mingyan didn't want to. Rather, it's because Mingyan's current cultivation method is completely different from traditional immortal cultivation, which is why Mingyan doesn't need to participate in these battles.

"Is that so... I haven't heard much from Young Master Ming lately. I originally thought he was keeping a low profile, but it seems I was wrong?" An Ran paused for a moment, then smiled. "Anyway, let's see Young Master Ming first. Would Miss Huang be willing to take me to meet him?"

"Guests are guests, even though I have some opinions about Mingyan's matter..." Huang Feiyan shrugged. She couldn't very well kick An Ran out, could she? Besides, An Ran was now the Empress's only personal disciple.

"Thank you, Miss Huang." An Ran's smile deepened upon hearing this.

Huang Feiyan narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Mingyan was good in every way, except that he had too many women around him. Not only were there many, but each of them was a stunning beauty. She couldn't stand out from them at all.

Huang Feiyan gradually realized that she was finding it difficult to carry the burden alone...

————————————————————————

When Huang Feiyan brought An Ran to the courtyard where the three of them lived, she did not find Ming Yan in Ming Yan's room. She hesitated for a moment and subconsciously looked towards Yue Qingying's room.

Mingyan is most likely with Yue Qingying... If it were before, she could catch them in the act, but now...

Yue Qingying has already laid everything out with her directly, so what kind of cheating could she possibly catch?

Moreover, Mingyan might not even be there... An array had been set up in the courtyard, so Huang Feiyan couldn't directly see what was inside through her divine sense.

"Miss Huang?" An Ran, who was following Huang Feiyan, noticed that Huang Feiyan suddenly stopped and looked at the room in the distance. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is Young Master Ming over there?"

Huang Feiyan came to her senses, pondered for a moment, then shook her head and led An Ran toward Yue Wuxia's room.

Knowing that the two had arrived, Yue Wuxia let them in before Huang Feiyan could even speak.

Wang Qingchu was also there. When she saw the two of them, she smiled slightly.

"Sister... Aunt Yue." Huang Feiyan gave a slight bow, and An Ran naturally followed suit, but she was somewhat shocked when she saw Wang Qingchu.

She had visited Yaochi before and served as a disciple there for a time. Naturally, she had seen the statues of the Queen Mother of the West and Wang Qingchu, the most renowned of the Queen Mothers of the West. Therefore, from the moment she saw Wang Qingchu, she recognized him...

But... why is she here?! Shouldn't she have died long ago? She lived hundreds of thousands of years ago...?

An Ran suddenly remembered that Huang Feiyan had said Ming Yan's "situation was special". Could she be referring to this?

"You don't need to guess, I am Wang Qingchu." Wang Qingchu seemed to have seen through An Ran's thoughts and chuckled.

"...Junior greets senior...!" An Ran knelt on one knee. She had once entered Yaochi and learned the Yaochi Heart Sutra. Yaochi had also been kind to her.

“There’s no need for that,” Wang Qingchu said with a smile. “I noticed you a long time ago, and Yan’er has also mentioned you to me. Although I am your senior in terms of seniority, I am also Yan’er’s older sister.”

No wonder Huang Feiyan calls her "sister"... is there such a relationship...? An Ran does know that Huang Feiyan and Ming Yan are actually engaged... Huang Feiyan is still Ming Yan's official fiancée.

"Yan'er has some things to take care of right now. Why don't you go see Mengru and Ning Feixuan first? They're also at the Huang family's place," Wang Qingchu said with a light laugh.

Busy? Huang Feiyan bit her cherry lips lightly. She must be with Qingying...

Even though she had thought about it a lot these past few days, the fact that the two of them were probably doing something right now, just as she had guessed, still made Huang Feiyan feel a sharp pain in her heart, as if she were being pricked by needles.

An Ran nodded gently, bowed again, and then left to see Ning Mengru and the others. Huang Feiyan remained silent for a while before also leaving.

Yue Wuxia said, "An Ran's cultivation has improved so quickly..."

“No matter how fast she is, she can’t compare to Yan’er. Besides, the speed at which her cultivation improves is also a good thing for Yan’er.” Wang Qingchu smiled and said, “The higher the cultivation level of the women around him, the better, because it also means that he can break through faster.”

Yue Wuxia remained silent, offering no opinion. She knew that since dual cultivation offered immense benefits to both parties, it shouldn't be stopped. However, she was ultimately concerned about that rebellious disciple...

However, even if I am dissatisfied, what can I do? I can't stop it anyway, so I might as well just ignore it.

Yue Wuxia sighed softly, thinking about Yue Qingyou's situation, and a sense of melancholy crept into her heart...
