One of my fairy-like friends

Mingyan reached out and beckoned it down. Holding it in his hand, he could feel its weight, as if he were holding a mountain... If it weren't within his Qi Sea, he wouldn't have been able to move it an inch even with all his strength and spiritual energy. With his cultivation level, moving a mountain was simply impossible.

However, if it is enveloped by the laws of the Qi Sea, although one can feel its weight, one can still swing it. This feeling is truly wonderful. The same is true for the dragon tendon. Mingyan can move it freely within the Qi Sea, but if it is outside, Mingyan cannot even lift it. It is extremely heavy.

The Immortal Gold felt icy cold to the touch. After holding it for a while, Mingyan felt his palm go numb, almost losing all feeling...

Is this stuff really suitable for making into a weapon? Or will it be so cold to the touch after being forged into a weapon?

Mingyan released the Tongyou Immortal Gold, which automatically floated in the air like a black hole, silently devouring the surrounding light. Fortunately, there was still the sun in his Qi Sea, so even if it was devouring light, it could be replenished.

Using Emperor-grade Immortal Gold as the bow's back and Dragon Tendon as the bowstring... Even the Great Emperors, at such a young age and with such low cultivation, probably didn't receive such treatment.

Mingyan felt that his master was still hiding some things from him. The way she valued him was beyond Mingyan's imagination. Perhaps it was because of the Human King Physique, or perhaps he held other meanings for her...

Although Mingyan believed that there was truth, goodness and beauty in this world, truth, goodness and beauty are not without reason. Although he respected his master and was his master's closed-door disciple, it did not mean that he would take his master's kindness for granted. No matter why his master valued him so much, he hoped that he would not let her down. This immortal gold was a reward, but it should also be his pressure to drive him forward.

----------------

Two days later, Feng Lingyueying welcomed guests again. However, this time, it was no longer Mingyan and Yue Qingying who could represent Feng Lingyueying to greet them, because the guests this time were of even higher status than the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

Yue Wuxia, along with Mingyan and Yue Qingying, waited directly on the Immortal Island. Before long, Mingyan saw a familiar red figure flash by, moving so fast that Mingyan hadn't even had time to react before it appeared on the Immortal Island.

Upon seeing this familiar figure, Mingyan's expression turned strange. This wasn't one of the top... cough cough.

"Long time no see. I hope my sudden visit hasn't disturbed Sister Yue's peaceful cultivation?" the visitor said with a grin. Then, she glanced at Ming Yan with her beautiful eyes, winked at him, and smiled. "And little brother~ you haven't forgotten your sister, have you?"

That's right, the person who came to visit this time was actually Huang Junyi, whom we hadn't seen for a while!

Yue Qingying was somewhat surprised to hear Huang Junyi address Ming Yan. She looked at Ming Yan. Although Ming Yan had previously said that when he was in the Huang family, the people in the Huang family treated him very well, especially Huang Feiyan and her second aunt, who was Huang Junyi in front of her, the term "little brother" sounded a bit too intimate.

Yue Wuxia glanced at Ming Yan, seemingly somewhat surprised.

He and Huang Feiyan had a good relationship, which Yue Wuxia knew, after all, Ming Yan had saved Huang Feiyan's life. But the fact that Huang Junyi, the second-in-command of the Huang family, treated Ming Yan in such a suggestive way was hard to understand.

“How could I be disturbing you? But I am quite curious, what is it that requires your personal presence, Junyi?” Yue Wuxia withdrew her gaze and asked.

"Sister Yue should know that we brought Mingyan back to the Huang family. At the time, we didn't explain in detail why we took Mingyan away, but now we can explain it clearly. We brought Mingyan back to the Huang family to save my sister Huang Qingfei. Now that my sister Huang Qingfei has fully recovered and returned to her peak, we naturally have to hold a celebration banquet." Huang Junyi said with a smile. She addressed her as "Sister Yue" repeatedly, which was different from the slightly polite tone between Huang Junru and Yue Wuxia. The two of them were more casual with each other, probably because Huang Junyi's personality was naturally more lively.

Master is naturally aloof, and Fei Yan's mother is an ancient ice being, so it's hard to imagine the two of them chatting so warmly. However, Huang Junyi is outgoing, and if someone takes the initiative to build a relationship, Master probably won't refuse.

Yue Wuxia only knew about Huang Qingfei's possession of a strange poison and the Huang family bringing Mingyan back to their home. She initially thought it was out of concern that Mingyan, who had saved Huang Feiyan's life, might have encountered some mishap, and that they were simply bringing him back to treat him well. She never imagined it would also involve treating Huang Qingfei... No wonder Huang Junru was willing to personally write a letter recommending Mingyan; it wasn't just because of his good relationship with Huang Feiyan, but also because she had done the Huang family a great favor...

Having one more half-step welcoming person is extremely important to the Huang family.

This would allow the Huang family to regain its former position as the number one family in the Eastern Continent, enable the Huang family to act more aggressively, increase their influence in the Eastern Continent, and attract more people to care about their opinions.

"Then I should congratulate you. My disciple is quite tight-lipped; he hasn't told me anything." Yue Wuxia glanced at Ming Yan and then said softly.

"It's not his fault. I told him to keep this a secret for now, otherwise some unexpected things might have happened." Huang Junyi stood there with her hands behind her back, her figure graceful, her pretty face beaming with a smile. She stole a couple more glances at Ming Yan, seemingly trying to flirt with him. Ming Yan looked away. Why was this vixen still like this...? Ming Yan had thought that after he left the Huang family for a while, when he reunited with this vixen, she might have toned it down a bit. But he hadn't expected that even while his master and senior sister were still singing, this vixen would be so bold, repeatedly stealing glances at him...

Yue Wuxia glanced at Ming Yan again, "It should indeed be kept secret; he did the right thing."

Mingyan remained expressionless. Oh no, would Master think I was hiding something and be angry with me?

My master is so kind to me, yet I cannot reciprocate her kindness. It's understandable that she would be angry about this. Mingyan sighed inwardly. Besides, my master isn't really an outsider; she's on good terms with the Huang family... It wouldn't hurt to tell her, but since she's never asked, he hasn't brought it up himself.

Huang Junyi chuckled, "I'm here to host a banquet for Sister Yue and Qingying. Feiyan emphasized that Qingying must be invited."

A smile appeared on Yue Qingying's pretty face. She and Huang Feiyan had a very good relationship, and Huang Feiyan would definitely not forget to invite her.

"Of course, there's also our great hero, our little brother Mingyan." Huang Junyi looked at Mingyan and said with a charming smile, "Feiyan also emphasized that Qingying can be forgotten, but Mingyan cannot."

"?"

Mingyan raised an eyebrow. Feiyan would say such a thing? Mingyan didn't believe it; it was probably something the fairy made up herself.

Yue Qingying and Huang Feiyan had a good relationship, so she knew that Huang Feiyan would never say such a thing. It was just a joke by Huang Junyi. She smiled helplessly. She knew Huang Junyi's playful nature and didn't take it to heart. However, upon closer reflection, she could sense that Huang Junyi and Mingyan's relationship seemed unusual, which surprised her.

Mingyan is clearly no different from a fool when it comes to matters of the heart, yet he unexpectedly has good relationships with these women... My junior brother certainly has quite a few admirers...

Yue Wuxia nodded, "I wonder when the banquet will be held."

"It will be about three days from now, so if possible, we can set off now. Of course, Sister Yue will definitely have some things to arrange before leaving, but she can get there within a day, so there's no rush," Huang Junyi said with a smile.

“I need to prepare some gifts, which will take time. Junyi, you can stay here. Qingying, go and gather some spirit-gathering wood to build another guest room on this island,” Yue Wuxia said.

Most of the guests stayed in the two courtyards, but Huang Junyi's identity was rather special. She had a fairly good relationship with Yue Qingying, after all, she called her "Sister Yue" all the time. Even if they weren't usually that close, it wouldn't be appropriate to let her stay at Yueying Cinema, since she was, after all, a half-step welcoming lady.

Yue Qingying nodded, then bowed to Huang Junyi and was about to leave, but Huang Junyi stopped her. "There's no need for that. After all, it's only for a day or two. I don't need the time. We don't usually entertain guests on this immortal island, so there's no need to trouble yourself. Besides, I have so many things I want to talk to my little brother about."

This is too intimate... I've never been this intimate with my junior brother! Yue Qingying pursed her lips and glanced at Yue Wuxia, who nodded. "Since Junyi wants to chat with her little disciple, feel free to do as you please over there."

Yue Qingying blinked, and hearing her master say this, she didn't know what to say.

Chapter Sixty-Three: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Huang Junyi had no intention of visiting Fenglingyueying. She had visited Fenglingyueying with her mother when she was about the same age as Huang Feiyan.

When she first met Yue Wuxia, she felt that this woman was like a goddess, otherworldly and independent.

Yue Wuxia was once the number one genius of the Eastern Continent. Even among the current group of people in the Human Realm, she is considered one of the top. There has been no news of her breakthrough for many years, which is probably because she is suppressed by the Great Dao. But she should have reached the peak of the Human Realm.

She was born in the wrong era. If she had been born in the golden age, perhaps with her talent, she could have reached a height that would surprise everyone.

Yue Wuxia has always been mysterious. Although she has a good relationship with the Huang family, the Huang family knows very little about her. This was the case when she was famous all over the world. Now she stays in Fenglingyueying all year round and does not go out. She has not appeared in many activities. There are even rumors that her cultivation has dropped, while others say that she has broken through. Many rumors have intensified as she has not appeared.

Therefore, the fact that Huang Feiyan was able to persuade Yue Wuxia to personally come out of seclusion still greatly surprised the Huang family.

This is all thanks to Yue Qingying. If Yue Qingying hadn't been worried about Huang Feiyan's safety, and if Yue Wuxia hadn't been concerned about Yue Qingying, Yue Wuxia might have only sent a few elders instead of coming in person.

Huang Junyi followed Ming Yan to his room and sat down on his bed with an air of nonchalance. A charming smile curved her lips. "Your master is really good to you. He's even willing to leave the mountain to participate in such a grand event for you."

Mingyan asked curiously, "Why do you say that, sister?"

"She hasn't shown herself in public for many years. The last news about her was when she took Yue Qingying as her disciple and came to save Fei Yan, which surprised me greatly. Actually, although my sister asked me to invite the three of you this time, I thought it would be enough for you and your senior sister to go, but I didn't expect her to actually go. I guess she's willing to go with you to the Huang family so that the world will know that you are her disciple." Huang Fei Yan smiled and said, "Your master is quite mysterious. She invited many people to this banquet, including many of your master's former suitors. Seeing her reappear in the world will probably cause quite a stir."

“Indeed… Master has treated me very well.” Mingyan was moved. “I have no way to repay him. I only hope that I will not let Master down.”

"...But speaking of which, I was quite surprised that you became Yue Wuxia's disciple as soon as you arrived at the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land... Yue Wuxia is the Dean of the Moon Shadow Academy. I thought you would be a disciple of some elder or dean of the Wind Spirit Academy, but I didn't expect you to rise to the top in one step and become Yue Wuxia's closed-door disciple... I didn't expect her to make an exception and accept you as her disciple..." Huang Junyi was actually a little surprised to see Ming Yan on the island, but she did not show it.

And upon closer reflection, his talent is indeed exceptional, and he does possess the qualities that would make Yue Wuxia make an exception and accept him as a disciple...

"You've really made something of yourself! Back then, your sister's protection wouldn't have been able to win your heart~" Huang Junyi patted Mingyan's shoulder, then moved her jade finger down to Mingyan's chest and gently drew a circle. A faint regret and pity appeared on her pretty face, as if she had missed out on something good.

Mingyan's heart raced. He thought that after seeing his master's true face, he would no longer be bewitched by this enchanting sister, but he did not expect that this enchanting sister's charm would not be so easy to forget.

Perhaps because she and her master were beauties of different styles, even though her master was unrealistically beautiful, it couldn't diminish Huang Junyi's charm. Mingyan moved back a little with difficulty, "Sister is joking. I have always kept your care for me in my heart and am very grateful."

"Really? From now on, you'll have your master protecting you. Your master is at the Human Realm, while I'm just a half-step Human Realm cultivator. My strength is far inferior to your master's... From now on, you'll have your master protecting you, but what about your sister? Even if she steps forward to support you, no one will care." Huang Junyi sighed softly, her beautiful face tinged with a faint melancholy, making her appear pitiful.

"Sister, you know I don't think that way, so why say it like that?" Ming Yan knew that Huang Junyi was pretending, that she wanted him to say that he cared about her thoughts and that she cared about his protection, and that she didn't really mind these things. But Ming Yan still said it. No matter what, this fairy sister was very good to him, and Ming Yan still wanted to make her happy.

"What do you think?" Huang Junyi asked pitifully.

"I will not ignore the care my sister has given me. She has been very good to me, and I remember everyone who has been good to me," Mingyan said earnestly.

Huang Junyi stared at Ming Yan for a while, then chuckled, "I love how serious you are. You truly are my little brother. Oh dear, do you really not like Fei Yan? What a pity. I wish you were Fei Yan's man."

"Feiyan and I are just friends," Mingyan said helplessly.

This enchanting sister is either seducing him or recommending Fei Yan to him. How could a mere cultivator in the Zhaohai Realm be so fortunate to be valued so highly by this half-step human-welcoming enchanting sister?

"Yes, yes, just friends." Huang Junyi gave Ming Yan a charming eye roll. "Idiot, friends, friends, can't it become something else?"

I don't want to become anything else, because I already have a goal to pursue in my heart. Mingyan didn't reply. Seeing that Mingyan had his head down and his expression was quite serious, Huang Junyi changed the subject and asked with a smile, "Have you ever seen your master's true face?"

Mingyan looked up at her question, somewhat puzzled. "Didn't Master just reveal his true form? Why is Sister asking such a question?"

"Hmm? Really? I saw that Sister Yue was shrouded in mist just now, and even I couldn't see her clearly. With the reach of the Moon Shadow Scripture, even those of the same level cannot see her face unless Sister Yue is intentionally trying to... Hmm? So, you have seen your master's true face?"

Mingyan nodded. "I am Master's disciple. Master said there is no need to hide anything from family members."

"Then do you think your master is beautiful?" Huang Junyi asked with a smile. "Your master has always looked like this when she was young, hiding her face with mist. But those who have seen her true face are all infatuated with her. I have seen her myself, and I have to admit that even as a woman, I couldn't help but be moved. Words like 'shaming the flowers and hiding the moon' or 'toppling the country' are not enough to describe her beauty. In my memory, it seems that only my sister and the Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi Holy Land can compare to her. However, the three are completely different, and the people who admire them are also different."

"Of course, there's no need to say more about the Queen Mother of the West. Because she comes from the Yaochi Holy Land, she is naturally kind and gentle. My sister is not allowed to marry outside the Huang family, and her personality is indeed cold to a certain extent. No matter how beautiful she is, it can't save her. Your master is very different. Her appropriate aloofness, distance and mystery make people more interested in her and arouse their desire to conquer her. In addition, there is no such thing as not being allowed to marry outside the Fengling Yueying Holy Land. She and the Queen Mother of the West are both the best candidates that those young geniuses wanted to marry back home."

Mingyan's heart stirred slightly. His master was so beautiful; was there anyone who could rival him? This sparked a certain curiosity in Mingyan about the appearances of the Queen Mother of the West and Huang Junru...

But then again, the fairy sister really loves gossip...

"Answer my question, you idiot." Seeing that Ming Yan was listening attentively but hadn't answered her question, Huang Junyi playfully pouted and pushed Ming Yan's brow with her jade finger. Only then did Ming Yan realize what she meant. "You little devil... ptooey, what did you just ask, sister?"

"A fairy?" Huang Junyi's attention was drawn to this fairy. She raised her eyebrows slightly, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and smiled charmingly. "Little brother, so you think your sister is a fairy?"

It was too late to deny it outright. Mingyan's mind raced, and he quickly said, "...To be frank, in my heart, sister is lively and charming, ever-changing and vivacious, and even more so, beautiful and captivating, just like a fairy in a story, so beautiful that it takes one's breath away. Therefore, in my heart, sister is a fairy-like beauty. I hope sister will forgive my rudeness; it was truly offensive..."

Huang Junyi opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at Ming Yan for a long while before saying, "With your eloquent appearance, are you really my innocent little brother? You rascal, are you actually a wolf in sheep's clothing?"

"Why do you say that, sister?" Mingyan was merely trying to salvage the situation, not wanting to anger Huang Junyi with his offense. This beautiful sister, though a bit alluring, was genuinely kind to him. Moreover, it seemed she was only alluring to her; in front of other men, she was quite proper, like a pure and aloof fairy...

Huang Junyi stared at Ming Yan for a while before saying with a half-smile, "Even if you're not a wolf in sheep's clothing, you probably have a talent for this... Little brother, your mouth is really good at sweet-talking. You're not embarrassed at all when you're saying sweet words. Should I praise your thick skin or say you have a great talent?"

"I don't know what you mean, sister..." Mingyan was also a little confused. He said, "Anyway, I'm telling the truth."

Huang Junyi chuckled, "Yes, yes, that's the truth. I am indeed a fairy, but I'm only a fairy in front of you. Others can't see me like this."

"I understand, and I'm honored." Mingyan nodded, relieved that Huang Junyi didn't mind the word "fairy," even though his intention in using the word "fairy" wasn't offensive. It was just that this woman was undeniably alluring...

"Mingyan, Aunt Huang, excuse me for bothering you."

At that moment, Yue Qingying's voice came from outside Mingyan's room.

"Hehe, it seems your senior sister also thinks I'm a demon, and is afraid I'll eat you up. That's why she came to check on me." Huang Junyi smiled charmingly, stood up, and walked to the door, opening it.

Chapter Sixty-Four: What wicked thoughts could Senior Sister possibly have?

"Second Aunt..." Yue Qingying and Huang Feiyan had a good relationship, so she addressed Huang Feiyan in the same way. When she saw that it was Huang Junyi who opened the door, Yue Qingying's eyes flickered slightly, and then she smiled and called out.

"Is Qingying looking for me or your little brother?" Huang Junyi asked with a smile that didn't fade and a slightly ambiguous tone.

Hearing Huang Junyi speak in such a tone, Yue Qingying felt something was off. Although she knew Huang Junyi had a playful personality, she had never heard her speak so ambiguously before... This ambiguity was definitely not directed at her; it seemed that she couldn't quite shake off the feeling after chatting with Ming Yan. Huang Junyi's feelings for Ming Yan were indeed special; Yue Qingying wasn't mistaken...

Why would Fei Yan's aunt treat Ming Yan with such an attitude? Could there be something between Ming Yan and Fei Yan? Yue Qingying thought for a moment, then dismissed the idea. If there really was something between them, Huang Junyi would never have interacted with Ming Yan in such an ambiguous way.

"I came here to ask if there's anything I can do for my second aunt," Yue Qingying said with a serene smile. "And I also came to chat with my junior brother."

"Qingying and my little brother have such a good relationship. My little brother is so lucky to have such a beautiful and gentle senior sister like Qingying." Huang Junyi sighed and stepped aside, allowing Yue Qingying to enter. Hearing Huang Junyi's words, she was a little embarrassed. "I'm not as good as my second aunt says, but I do treat my junior brother like a brother. My second aunt knows that I have no relatives since I was a child. Later, my master became my only family. Now that I have a junior brother, I have another family member. It's naturally better for family members to have a good relationship."

“Yes,” Huang Junyi smiled and said, “He was all alone before, and I was worried that he would die young. I even said I would be his protector. But now that he has become Sister Yue’s disciple, I can rest assured.”

Yue Qingying chuckled, "I didn't expect Second Aunt to take such good care of Junior Brother. I thank Second Aunt on behalf of Junior Brother."

"No need. What kind of relationship do I have with you, little brother? No need for thanks, right, little brother?" Huang Junyi smiled and glanced at Ming Yan, her red lips moving, charming and beautiful.

Mingyan glanced at Yue Qingying, then at Huang Junyi. For some reason, he sensed a subtle tension in the atmosphere. Both women were behaving gently, yet they seemed to be subtly emphasizing their relationship with him...
