One of my fairy-like friends

Anyone with eyes can see that Mingyan uses the same combat techniques faster and better...

Yue Qingying smiled and was quite surprised by Ming Yan's combat strength... Although the other party was just an elder's disciple, and there was a huge difference between him and the top geniuses of the Eastern Continent, and he could be defeated by someone of a higher level, there were still several minor realms between the two of them. With such strength, once Ming Yan's strength catches up, he would probably be one of the top geniuses with special physiques, and extremely powerful!

The disciples of Fengling Academy fell silent. Le Junxin remained expressionless. It was astonishing that a cultivator at the initial stage of Yangling was so easily bound by a cultivator at the Zhaohai Realm... If it were a life-or-death battle, he would probably already be dead by now.

Mingyan hadn't originally intended to use his combat techniques, but seeing the opponent use them, he couldn't resist trying them out, and the results were surprisingly good...

Moreover, using this cultivation method didn't consume much of his spiritual energy; the spiritual energy in his sea of ​​energy remained unfathomably deep...

Mingyan stopped forming hand seals. His opponent didn't have his physique and couldn't break free of the chains in a short time. Without needing to maintain his strength, Mingyan stepped forward, squatted down, and looked at Ye Wuji, who was lying on the ground bound by the chains of law. He smiled and said, "Let's end this sparring here. Or is it that Junior Brother is still unwilling to admit defeat and wants to continue the competition?"

Ye Wuji let out a long breath, gave Ming Yan a deep look, and raised his voice to shout, "I admit defeat! I am no match for you, Senior Brother. You are a peerless genius. I apologize for my offense. I'm sorry, Senior Brother."

Ming Yan put away the chains of law, reached out and helped Ye Wuji up, and chuckled, "It's nothing, just a friendly spar. It's good that you weren't injured."

Ye Wuji's feelings were complicated. He had initially thought Ming Yan was just all talk, but it turned out the other party was genuinely worried about his injury... Ye Wuji sighed, "Senior brother, it's just a pity you're not in our Fengling Academy, alas..."

Mingyan did not respond. Ye Wuji remained silent for a moment, then turned and returned to his seat.

Seeing Ye Wuji decisively admit defeat and even apologize, Ning Feixuan nodded, "He is quite frank. However, Fellow Daoist Mingyan's strength is beyond my imagination. If I couldn't sense that he was only at the Zhaohai Realm, I would have thought he had already reached Yangling... With such combat power, if he catches up with us, he will be a very serious opponent for me. I could easily be defeated if I'm not careful."

Upon hearing this, Yue Qingying chuckled and said, "He is grateful to you, so how could he be your enemy? He would rather help you out. Besides, our master was a friend when he was young, so we should help each other. Saintess, you are overthinking it."

Ning Feixuan nodded, "Indeed, just as the Holy Maiden said, I was overthinking things."

Mingyan glanced at Le Junxin from Fengling Academy, who was staring at him expressionlessly, frowned slightly, turned around and sat back down on the stage, asking in a low voice, "Senior Sister, who is that Fengling Academy disciple who keeps staring at me? I noticed that he has hostility in his eyes."

Upon hearing this, Yue Qingying glanced at him and said softly, "That is Le Junxin, the personal disciple of Wang Daoming, the dean of Fengling Academy. He is also at the Qi Sea Realm. If he weren't older, he would be the Fengling Holy Son of this generation. It's probably because you rejected the dean of Fengling Academy that he has feelings for you."

Seeing Ming Yan and Yue Qingying whispering to each other, Le Junxin closed his eyes, deciding to avoid the disturbance.

"Does he have feelings for Senior Sister? He seems to dislike me getting too close to her." Ming Yan raised an eyebrow upon seeing this.

Yue Qingying chuckled upon hearing this, "I'm not his property, so what can he think?"

As she spoke, Yue Qingying moved closer to Mingyan, pressing her face against his. The warm touch surprised Mingyan, who pulled away slightly. "Senior Sister?"

"Why are you dodging? You're just trying to annoy him." Yue Qingying said softly, a sly smile on her face. Mingyan was surprised; he hadn't realized his senior sister had such a playful side. "Senior sister, he has his eyes closed. You can't annoy him."

"Hmm? Your mental defenses are so weak?" Yue Qingying glanced at Le Junxin upon hearing this, chuckled, and said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

She knew perfectly well that Le Junxin liked her, and that he didn't like Ming Yan. She suspected that he was behind this sparring session, trying to make him feel bad. But she didn't expect his defenses to be so weak that he closed his eyes.

Seeing the two appear quite intimate, Ning Feixuan's eyes flickered slightly. "The two of you seem to have a very good relationship."

Yue Qingying nodded, "I only have this one junior brother, and I treat him like a younger brother... so I hope he will always be well."

Mingyan felt a warmth in his heart. His senior sister and master had treated him so well. He was determined to get along well with them in the future and to be filial and respectful to them.

Ning Feixuan glanced at Ming Yan and then looked away. This young man really had a way with women, and he was very close to Fei Yan... Before that, Huang Fei Yan didn't have any male friends. But after all, it was a life-saving favor, so she could understand. She didn't expect that he had joined the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land so soon, and his relationship with this Moon Shadow Saintess was so close. She needed to keep her distance from this kind of person and not get too close to him, lest something unexpected happen.

The minor sparring incident ended with Ye Wuji's decisive surrender and apology, without causing any trouble. However, it did surprise the fairies of Yaochi Holy Land and the female cultivators of Moon Cinema, who were quite interested in Ming Yan's strength.

It's not just young cultivators who are attracted to fairies in this world; young female cultivators are also prone to admiring handsome and talented geniuses.

Moreover, after this exchange, Mingyan's strength was enough to silence a large portion of the people in the Fengling Academy.

The fact that Mingyan has grasped the "Wind Spirit Scripture" to such an extent in such a short time demonstrates that his talent for cultivation is not unfounded.

Regardless of the cause, the ending was perfect. Ye Wuji handled the situation well and did not let Fengling Academy bring shame to Fengling Yueying Holy Land. Ming Yan also maintained his own dignity and the face of his master, Yue Wuxia.

As night deepened and the banquet ended, Mingyan and Yue Qingying returned to their room.

Yue Qingying stopped Mingyan, "Didn't you say you admired Ning Feixuan? Why haven't you taken the initiative to talk to her?"

Upon hearing this, Mingyan scratched his head. "I don't even know what to say to her... Maybe she won't be interested in talking about anything?"

"Idiot." Yue Qingying gave Ming Yan a charming eye roll. "How can you pursue someone like this? If you like someone, you should find a topic that you both find interesting."

"For example?"

"For example?" Yue Qingying said helplessly, "With your attitude, I don't even know how you managed to win over the Holy Maiden of Yaochi... You're too stupid, aren't you? Sigh."

Chapter Fifty-Nine: My Senior Sister is the Best Person in the World

Mingyan had no experience in pursuing girls because he was different from other children since childhood and was also very withdrawn in the village.

So when he heard Yue Qingying's words, he was also confused. He really didn't know how to pursue a girl.

"Senior sister, can you teach me?" Mingyan asked.

"How can you teach someone something like this?" Yue Qingying smiled helplessly. "This kind of thing is either something you learn on your own or something you can only learn through experience. I personally don't have any experience in romance either. But as a woman, I think you're too clueless. Right now, it's you who has some feelings for her, not the other way around. In this situation, do you expect her to take the initiative?"

Self-taught? Is it possible to learn something like this without a teacher?

Compared to being self-taught, the latter, accumulating experience, sounds more reliable.

...No, upon closer inspection, that doesn't seem very reliable either. Where would he find experience to accumulate? Could he possibly pursue female cultivators everywhere to gain experience? Mingyan thought for a moment and then shook his head. That wouldn't do. If he continued like this, his reputation would become strange. In the process, Mingyan estimated that he would already be disliked by Ning Feixuan.

Unless you find someone to practice the scenario, to play a fake one... but how could a female cultivator possibly be willing to sacrifice her chastity to practice with you in a scenario? If this gets out, it will affect her reputation.

Only people who are already very close and intimate would be willing...

Speaking of which, Mingyan's heart stirred; wasn't there one right in front of him?

Mingyan looked at Yue Qingying. No matter where he looked, his senior sister was no weaker than the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Ning Feixuan. The two had the same cultivation level, both of them had reached the Qi Sea stage, and their appearances were no less impressive. They both practiced female cultivation techniques, and their relationship with him was close enough that he treated her like a younger brother.

"Senior Sister." Mingyan thought for a moment and then called out.

"Ok?"

“...Never mind.” Mingyan thought for a moment, then shook his head. If his senior sister was unwilling, asking such a question would most likely embarrass her. It would be difficult for her to refuse or agree. Respect is mutual. He should always put himself in the shoes of those who respect him and should not ask questions that would put his senior sister in a difficult position.

"...Did you want me to practice with you just now?" Yue Qingying saw that Ming Yan hesitated for a moment, then showed a frank expression. She knew that he had probably put aside some things that he was reluctant to say. After a little thought, she understood what Ming Yan wanted to say earlier.

Mingyan was taken aback. How could Senior Sister see that? Could she read minds?

"No...nothing like that."

Although Mingyan quickly concealed his surprise, Yue Qingying still caught the slight emotional fluctuation. She rolled her eyes at him, but in a gentle tone that stirred one's heart, "You certainly have a quick mind..."

“Senior Sister…” Seeing that Yue Qingying had figured it out, Ming Yan stopped hiding it and shook his head. “I was overthinking it. How could I offend Senior Sister and make her pretend to be someone else? I would be ashamed of how Senior Sister has taken care of me.”

Upon hearing Ming Yan's words, Yue Qingying smiled slightly, "You're exaggerating. I'm not that petty. Besides, you're family to me."

"I hope you don't mind my offensive thoughts, senior sister."

“You should be more casual in front of me, there’s no need for such formality.” Yue Qingying noticed that Ming Yan always spoke with a kind of respect, which was pleasant to hear, but since they considered each other family, they shouldn’t speak like that anymore, as it sounded somewhat distant.

"Senior sister...how should one get along with family?"

"...Be casual. Since they are family, there's no need for excessive formalities. As long as you genuinely care about them and want to improve, there's no need to worry about the little details," Yue Qingying said after thinking for a moment.

Actually, she didn't know that although she had always treated her master as family, her master didn't like to talk, and the two of them rarely chatted. Moreover, even if she treated him as family, her master was like a mother, an elder, and she couldn't speak too casually, but it didn't matter to her younger brother.

Peers should be more casual. Yue Qingying had observed how most families interacted and found that peers were generally quite casual and had enviable relationships. Now that she had a younger brother... well, a junior brother, she hoped to interact with him in the same way.

"Be more casual?" Mingyan thought for a moment, stared at Yue Qingying for a while, and then reached out and held Yue Qingying's warm and smooth hand.

Yue Qingying lowered her head, paused for a moment, then looked up at Ming Yan, seemingly surprised that Ming Yan would do such a thing.

Seeing this, Mingyan thought Yue Qingying was a little angry, so he quickly let go of Yue Qingying's hand.

Seeing Mingyan's worried expression, Yue Qingying chuckled, "Why did you let go again?"

"Senior sister...aren't you angry?" Mingyan carefully observed Yue Qingying's expression and asked in a low voice.

"...Take my hand." Yue Qingying raised her jade-like hand and placed it in front of Ming Yan, smiling slightly and speaking gently.

Yue Qingying was the Holy Maiden of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land. Her cultivation and appearance were among the best of the younger generation. Her hands were smooth and delicate, long and beautiful. Ming Yan raised his hand and gently grasped Yue Qingying's hand, "Senior Sister..."

"Call me 'sister' and I'll hear it." Yue Qingying's lips curled up, her face carrying a faint, charming smile that made Ming Yan's heart race. He couldn't help but look away. "...Sister?"

"Hehe, my good little brother~" Yue Qingying's eyes sparkled with affection, clearly very happy, and her voice trembled slightly.

Seeing Yue Qingying so happy, Mingyan gradually felt relieved. For Mingyan, who had no father, mother, brothers, or sisters, his sister meant much more than his senior sister.

“Since you’re willing to call me ‘sister,’ then I’m willing to accompany you in this role-playing exercise.” Yue Qingying gradually dropped her coquettish demeanor, and her expression suddenly became indifferent. “Mingyan, I suggest you let go of my hand immediately. I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. You’ve disappointed me greatly.”

Ming Yan's expression changed, then he released Yue Qingying's hand. "Senior Sister...?"

"What senior sister? Do you mean you've mistaken me for your senior sister?" Yue Qingying frowned slightly. "My master and your master are on good terms, but that doesn't mean you can disrespect me like this... I hope you'll have some self-respect!"

Upon hearing this, Mingyan realized that his senior sister had already entered the state of mind and had "become" Ning Feixuan.

Mingyan blinked, considering how he should respond in this situation. "I'm sorry, I truly considered you my senior sister. Please forgive my offense; I had no intention of doing so..."

"Hmph, you and your senior sister are so close? That's just an excuse you're making up. I originally had a good impression of you, but I never expected you to be this kind of person."

"You've misunderstood... My relationship with my senior sister is like that of siblings. We're usually quite casual with each other. I really just mistook you for someone else..."

"You've only been a member of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land for such a short time, yet your relationship with the Moon Shadow Saintess is already so close. Do you think I would believe that?"

Mingyan was taken aback upon hearing this. He glanced at Yue Qingying and suddenly realized that perhaps his senior sister was not simply disguised as Ning Feixuan.

“My senior sister is the best person in the world. She is considerate and caring towards me. I should respect and cherish her. The Holy Maiden should understand that we have a good relationship.”

"Is she really as good as you say?" Yue Qingying's eyes crinkled as if she wanted to laugh, but she forcibly held it back.

“Of course.” Mingyan nodded seriously, knowing that the pretense between the two of them had obviously gone astray, but Mingyan was not stupid. There was no need to correct it at this time. His senior sister was right in front of him, and he had to make this sister who took such good care of him happy no matter what.

Moreover, Mingyan felt that what he said wasn't flattery, but the truth, and telling the truth wasn't considered sucking up.

"...Pfft, if you say that to me, don't say it to Ning Feixuan in the future." Yue Qingying's eyes were full of flirtatious glances, and her tone was pleasant. Her composure was broken, and she immediately spoke gently.

Mingyan nodded. He lacked experience, but he wasn't stupid.

Women are like prey; you have to prepare carefully and make sure every disguise is perfect before you can hook her. Well, no, Senior Sister is not. Senior Sister is the best woman in the world. Mingyan simply feels that Senior Sister is really good to him.

Chapter Sixty Array Patterns

Although Mingyan was slightly addicted to the heartwarming interactions with his senior sister, he now knew that improving his strength was the most important thing.

Although with his current cultivation level of the Sea of ​​Illumination Realm, he can deal with the initial stage of the Yangling Realm, it doesn't mean anything.

A genius who doesn't grow up is likely to die young, and Mingyan naturally understood this principle very well.

Moreover, there are differences even among those at the initial stage of Yangling. Just as he can overcome several realms to defeat someone at the initial stage of Yangling, other geniuses can do the same. If he were to face a genius with a special physique who could also fight beyond their level, he would probably be no match for them if his cultivation was weaker.

Only by improving our strength can we truly catch up.

The most important thing now is to stabilize his own spring, which doesn't take much effort. Mingyan is already proficient in this and can even focus on familiarizing himself with the formations his master taught him.

The origins of the formations are now unclear. After countless years of changes, the formations we know today are very sophisticated. The formations that have been passed down have undergone various modifications and can basically meet all kinds of needs.
