One of my fairy-like friends

"Yes, my sister treats me very well, just like my master treats me well. It is engraved in my heart and I will never forget it." Mingyan nodded. Although he didn't know if his feeling was correct, he felt that if he showed any bias at this moment, there might be some problems.

Upon hearing this, Huang Junyi glanced at Ming Yan with a half-smile. Yue Qingying, seeing how clever Ming Yan's answer was, didn't think too much about it, but just felt that Ming Yan probably didn't have any special feelings for Huang Junyi.

"Since we've already had our chat, I won't disturb you two any longer. I'm going to go discuss Dao with Sister Yue." Huang Junyi put away her ambiguous smile, chuckled lightly, and left Ming Yan's room with a graceful and decisive air. This woman is truly multifaceted; she really is a vixen.

After Huang Junyi left for a while, Yue Qingying closed the door, walked over, naturally took Mingyan's hand, and pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed. "You didn't tell me before that you and Feiyan's second aunt have such a good relationship... I underestimated you, my good junior brother."

Despite his senior sister's gentle smile, Mingyan felt something was off. He scratched his head. "My sister treats me very well. Maybe calling her 'Second Madam' makes me sound old, so she makes me call her 'Sister'..."

"Then why didn't she correct me? She didn't react at all when I called her Second Aunt?" Yue Qingying looked at Ming Yan with a smile, her tone gentle and charming, yet it gave people a vague sense of questioning.

Hmm, it's just my imagination. Why would my gentle and considerate senior sister question me?

"Perhaps it's because the senior sister has a good relationship with Fei Yan, so the younger generation doesn't care?"

"Oh, so you mean Second Aunt considers you an equal? ​​Hmm, I'm Second Aunt's junior, and you're Second Aunt's equal, so I have to call Junior Brother Uncle?" Yue Qingying moved closer to Mingyan, her tone becoming gentler. She placed her arm on Mingyan's arm and her long, graceful legs against his side. Although they were both fully clothed, separated by several layers of clothing, Mingyan couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart, forcing him to calm himself down and involuntarily create some distance between them.

But Yue Qingying quickly moved closer again, her gaze gentle, looking at him as if waiting for his answer.

Mingyan couldn't move any further to the side, and besides, he dared not accept being called "uncle." "How could that be? It's just because I'm a man that my sister treats me differently... she's probably more concerned about how men perceive her age..."

"Oh, is that so?" Upon hearing this, Yue Qingying's gaze shifted, and she stared at Ming Yan with a half-smile. "Is it possible that Fei Yan's aunt has some feelings for you?"

"Huh?" Mingyan was a little confused when he heard this. "What do you mean? What is Senior Sister referring to?"

Yue Qingying stared at Mingyan for a while, and seeing that Mingyan's confusion didn't seem to be feigned, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, just pretend I didn't say anything. But, my good junior brother, sometimes I really don't understand. Are you just innocent, or are you pretending? Sometimes you're so innocent that I worry you might get fooled, and other times you're so shrewd... You're not just putting on an act in front of your senior sister all the time, are you?"

"Of course not. Senior Sister is so good to me, she treats me like a younger brother. How could I act? How could I deceive Senior Sister? I truly consider Senior Sister my older sister." Mingyan said solemnly. However... there are some things he can't tell his sister, right?

Aside from things that weren't suitable to tell his sister, Mingyan wouldn't lie to Yue Qingying. He genuinely considered Yue Qingying a very important person. When people are both so frank and willing to open their hearts to each other, it's actually quite easy to get closer. In a short time, their relationship reached a very intimate level.

Mingyan's words were extremely sincere, and his true thoughts were also very genuine. Therefore, Yue Qingying nodded upon seeing this. "Since you want to pursue Ning Feixuan, Junior Brother, don't get too close to other women. It might cause Ning Feixuan to misunderstand. You and I are senior and junior brothers, like siblings, so it doesn't matter. But if you get too close to other women, it might cause Ning Feixuan to misunderstand. Making friends is fine, but don't be too ambiguous. For example, like today, if Ning Feixuan knew that Aunt Feiyan came to your room alone to talk to you and acted rather ambiguously, her impression of you might become strange. Although I'm not trying to deceive Ning Feixuan, if Ning Feixuan becomes wary of you, you certainly won't be able to pursue her. You agree, Junior Brother?"

"...Senior Sister is absolutely right." Mingyan nodded, but sighed inwardly. Senior Sister, it's not my fault. Fairy Sister herself wanted to find me. She's been so good to me, I couldn't just turn her away, could I? What would that make me?

Seeing that Mingyan did not object, Yue Qingying nodded and smiled, "When we have time in the future, I will practice with you in scenarios. Otherwise, you don't even know how to get along with Ning Feixuan, so how can you pursue her?"

Mingyan didn't have strong feelings of love for Ning Feixuan. He was just extremely grateful to her, which led to some admiration. It wasn't that he was determined to marry her, but since the world had said so, Mingyan couldn't refuse the world's kindness, so he nodded and said, "Senior sister is so good to me."

“Because I’m your senior sister and you’re my junior brother, if I don’t treat you well, who will?” Yue Qingying squeezed Ming Yan’s hand and said with a smile. After speaking, she stood up. “Alright, senior sister is going back now. You should also make some preparations. This time, Master should announce that he has accepted you as his disciple. This means that the competitors you will face will become the Holy Sons and Daughters, geniuses from great families, and the like. My junior brother is very outstanding, I know that very well. You also need to have confidence, but confidence is not the same as arrogance. I know that my junior brother will not let me down. Good luck.”

Mingyan nodded seriously, "I will not let down Master's cultivation of me, and I will definitely not disappoint Senior Sister."

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Demon Race

The next morning, Yue Wuxia made arrangements for everything within the sacred site before preparing to leave.

The Fengling Yueying Holy Land has two half-step Human Welcomers. Wang Daoming is one of them, and Yueying Cinema has another one, but it has not been made public. This is the trump card that Yue Wuxia told Mingyan. Outsiders all thought that Fengling Yueying only had one half-step Human Welcomer, Wang Daoming.

The reason why a trump card is called a trump card is precisely because it is unknown to others.

Of course, this is still far inferior to the previous Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.

It should be noted that at its peak, the deans of both academies were at the Human Realm, with two Saint Lords and three half-step Human Realm cultivators in each academy. It was extremely powerful and was the number one holy land in the Eastern Continent at that time. Mentioning the name of Fengling Yueying could make people feel fear and dread. Even in normal times, there were two Saint Lords and at least one half-step Human Realm cultivator in each academy. It was basically the number one holy land in the Eastern Continent.

The situation of the two Holy Lords is too special. You must know that an Extreme Dao Emperor has a lifespan of 10,000 years and can live another life with the help of the elixir of immortality, which is 20,000 years. After 20,000 years, the Great Emperor will fall and another 10,000 years will pass before the suppression of the Great Dao will dissipate. Only then will cultivators have the qualifications to compete for the position of Extreme Dao.

In other words, every time a Great Emperor is born, there is a suppression of the Great Dao for 30,000 years. After the suppression of the Great Dao ends, a new Emperor will be born approximately every 1,000 to 5,000 years. This means that the Golden Age is short-lived, and for most of the time, the Great Dao suppresses the Great Age, just like it is now. Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult to achieve the position of a Saint or break through to the level of Manifestation Saint. Even for the most talented, the Human Welcome is just the final destination.

Under these circumstances, the unique Fengling Yueying Holy Land, with its two Holy Lords and two welcoming figures, naturally needs no further explanation in terms of its strength.

Even at its weakest point, there is still one half-step Renying on the surface, and actually two. However, other holy land families may also be hiding, so who knows if the other side has any trump cards?

Yue Wuxia naturally had a means of transportation: a pure white veil. After Yue Wuxia released it, the veil floated in the air automatically, gradually enlarging and shimmering with a faint light, as if it came from the polar snow mountains, dyed in snow-white, pure and beautiful.

Yue Wuxia and Huang Junyi sat down together, while Yue Qingying flew up with Ming Yan.

After the light gauze was enlarged, the four of them sat cross-legged on it without feeling crowded. The sensation was like sitting on a cloud, not very real, yet they could feel themselves being lifted up. It was a truly wonderful feeling. Moreover, as soon as they came up, a faint light appeared around the light gauze, enveloping the surroundings as if covered by a layer of mist. It was estimated that looking in from the outside would be like looking at their master's face before, hidden in the mist, very unreal.

The teachings of the Moon Shadow Sutra are like this: hazy and indistinct, like a great dream, unreal and intangible, carrying a layer of mystery that can never be fully understood.

The same goes for Yue Qingying, but her cultivation level is far inferior to that of her master, so she gives off a completely different feeling.

"Master's mode of transportation is made of ice silkworm silk from the extremely cold lands of the Eastern Continent, which is quite special among all modes of transportation. In fact, apart from our Eastern Continent and Southern Continent, the other two continents like to use ferocious beasts to pull carriages. Our Eastern Continent and Southern Continent are inhabited by a large number of demons, and using ferocious beasts to pull carriages can easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the demons. In order to avoid suspicion, the Eastern Continent and Southern Continent generally do not do this." Yue Qingying explained, "I don't know if you have ever seen demons."

"I have seen ferocious beasts before. How are they different from demons?" Mingyan asked.

"The demon race is also a kind of ferocious beast. They all have advanced intelligence and can basically transform into humans from birth. They are born with cultivation, and some races can even reach the Sea Illumination Realm at birth. They generally have some racial talents. For example, some turtle demon races have extremely strong physiques and are very powerful in the water, but they are relatively slow on land. For example, flower and grass demon races can absorb the sunlight and use it for themselves. Their spiritual energy consumption is also very low, but their bodies are relatively fragile... Of course, there are also some races that are born with strong physiques and special divine power. I should be able to see quite a few demon races when I go to the Phoenix Clan this time."

"Actually, you can also be considered a demon, right?" Huang Junyi chuckled. "The ancient gods, referring to the dragon and phoenix clans, are also considered demons. We are descendants of the phoenix, so we can also be considered descendants of the demon clan. We have demon blood flowing in our veins."

“The Phoenix family is rather special. They cannot be considered descendants of the demon race. Phoenixes are descendants of gods, so you are descendants of gods,” Yue Wuxia said. “The demon race is relatively rare compared to the human race, but the demon race is naturally powerful and should not be underestimated.”

“Disciple understands.” Mingyan nodded.

"Don't worry too much, little brother's physique is incredibly strong... To have such a powerful physique at this level, even those demons would be ashamed of themselves." Huang Junyi glanced at Ming Yan and smiled slightly. "You know, in terms of physique, humans are often at a disadvantage. Although humans are said to have special physiques, most cultivators don't. Under the same level, humans are inferior to demons, which is why those demons seem somewhat arrogant towards humans. You'll probably surprise them."

The fairy sister kept calling him "little brother," and after a while, Mingyan felt a little uneasy. Little brother... He was sixteen years old this year, so he couldn't be considered a little brother anymore. He was already in good physical condition, and his height was taller than most people his age, not much different from an adult male...

Calling him "little brother" is fine, but adding "little"...

The main reason is that "younger brother" has a special meaning. It's fine to be called that occasionally, but after a while, Mingyan really wants to tell his fairy sister, "I'm not young anymore."

However, it wasn't appropriate to say such things aloud, as it might be mistaken for being a hooligan, so Mingyan fell silent.

A light veil carried the four people towards the teleportation portal.

The Fenglingyueying Holy Land is very close to the nearby teleportation portal. The reason why Mingyan took so long to get to Fenglingyueying was because the new Yutai Blessed Land was on the other side. He went back to Yutai Blessed Land, which was like going in circles before going to Fenglingyueying. If Huang Junyi had sent Mingyan directly to Fenglingyueying, she could have arrived in a quarter of an hour at her speed.

Soon, the four of them arrived near the teleportation portal.

The magnificent teleportation portal soared into the sky. Mingyan had passed through the portal several times, always using the special passage for the holy land families above, and had never gone to the ordinary cultivators' path below the portal.

It's quite troublesome for ordinary cultivators to use the teleportation portal. They need to register in advance and wait until there are enough people at the same destination before they can teleport. After all, teleportation is quite costly. The reason why disciples of holy lands and aristocratic families don't have to go through so much trouble is because they contributed a lot to the construction of these teleportation portals. For example, the teleportation portal near the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land was built by a large number of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land disciples, plus the Moon Shadow Empress herself. Moreover, the daily maintenance uses the resources of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land, so it's only right that they enjoy certain privileges.

Beneath this teleportation portal, there are many disciples of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land maintaining it. Of course, this teleportation portal was not only built by the disciples of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land, but other holy lands and families also participated in it, but the main force was the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land.

Mingyan ascended to the top in one step and never experienced the lives of the other disciples. If he had really become a disciple of an elder, he might have been able to experience what it was like to handle official business at the teleportation portal. But now, as the Holy Lord's personal disciple in seclusion, he only needs to focus on cultivation.

Yue Wuxia did not linger there and went directly into the portal.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and the four of them quickly arrived at the Huang family. The speed of travel for those at the Human-Welcoming Realm was much faster than that of those at the Half-Step Human-Welcoming Realm. At their level of cultivation, there was a world of difference between each breakthrough, and the gap in realms would be magnified. The gap between the Human King Realm and the Emperor Realm was even greater. An Emperor could crush a Human King with a single finger, no different from crushing an ant. Only those with special physiques that were extremely rare among special physiques could barely fight against an Extreme Emperor at the Half-Step Extreme Dao Realm of the Human King Realm. In those dark ages without Emperors, it was precisely because of such special physiques that the human and demon races were not wiped out.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Just leave it to my senior sister.

Light gauze carried the four of them to a place not far from the Huang family, where Mingyan saw two figures approaching from afar.

As they drew nearer, Mingyan discovered that it was Huang Junru and Huang Feiyan.

"Qingying! Mingyan!" Upon seeing the two, Huang Feiyan raised her hand and waved, her pretty face filled with joy. "Welcome, Holy Lord Yueying."

"Fellow Daoist," Huang Junru greeted softly, "I am delighted that you have come in person."

Yue Qingying said, "Given the relationship between Feiyan and Qingying, it's only right that they come. Moreover, I also intend to let the world see my new disciple this time. Congratulations, fellow Daoist. Fairy Qingfei has finally woken up, which can be considered as a relief for you."

Huang Junru's face remained hidden in the mist, but her figure was not concealed. She wore a red palace dress, which made her look noble and graceful. Although the expensive red palace dress covered her completely, it could not hide her outstanding figure. Ming Yan did not dare to look for long and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Presumably, although Fei Yan's mother hasn't revealed her true face to him, his master should be able to see it, just as his master allows those she permits to see her true face...

Huang Junru nodded. "You're very welcome."

After saying that, Huang Junyi turned her gaze to Ming Yan, "I asked Junyi to invite my young friend to come together. I originally thought that my young friend was so talented that he would definitely be able to find a good master, but I did not expect that it would be the Holy Lord himself. I hope that the friendship between the Huang family and the Fenglingyueying Holy Land can continue between you, Qingying and Feiyan. Fellow Daoist, Qingying, young friend, come with me to the academy."

Huang Feiyan glanced at Ming Yan and winked at her. She understood that Ming Yan was not only invited by them this time, but also because he had become the junior brother of her close friend Yue Qingying and the disciple of the Moon Shadow Saint Master. She smiled and was happy for Ming Yan. With the Moon Shadow Saint Master and Qingying as her senior sisters, she could finally put her mind at ease.

What a coincidence... The person he likes is his best friend, and now his senior sister is another of his best friends, and they have such a good relationship that she saved his life... It seems that he and she are destined to become friends.

Huang Junru invited Yue Wuxia to stay in the inner courtyard, but Yue Wuxia politely declined. So Yue Wuxia, Yue Qingying, and Mingyan stayed together in the outer courtyard. The room arranged was the same relatively independent courtyard where Mingyan first came to the Huang family.

Fearing that it would cause a sensation, Yue Wuxia quickly hid herself and, led by Huang Junyi, came to this courtyard.

Huang Junru needed to greet other guests, so she had no time to accompany them. After Huang Junyi brought the three of them here, she entertained them.

"I know very little about Sister Yue's arrival, and she didn't even show herself when she entered. When she appears at the banquet, she'll probably shock a lot of people. Quite a few of your former suitors are here this time, Sister Yue. Back then, those people were crazy about you. I wonder if they still admire you as much after all these years." Huang Junyi chuckled.

Yue Wuxia shook her head. "I've never cared about these things. Whether they like it or not, it makes no difference to me."

"Sister Yue is so refined and independent. If it weren't for my little brother's help, it would have been very difficult to persuade her to come out of seclusion this time," Huang Junyi winked at Ming Yan and said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Mingyan secretly glanced at his master. His master's face was expressionless, cool and aloof, but Mingyan knew that Huang Junyi was right, at least half right. His master had considered his own affairs in order to come along, and Mingyan felt a warmth in his heart.

Huang Junyi originally planned to chat with the group, but it seemed that Huang Junru contacted her, so she apologized and left.

The three of them fell silent in the room. Mingyan took the initiative to speak, "When I first came to the Huang family from Yutai Blessed Land, I stayed here. I heard this place is very special; it was once the secret base of Feiyan's mother, second aunt, and youngest aunt when they were young..."

"You seem to know quite a lot." Yue Wuxia walked to the bedside, sat cross-legged on the bed, and glanced at Ming Yan upon hearing this. "I'm quite surprised that you and Huang Junyi are so intimate. Although Huang Junyi is lively and playful, I've never seen her treat any man like this before..."

Mingyan scratched his head. "It's probably because I saved Feiyan and Feiyan's aunt that she values ​​me so much."

Yue Wuxia glanced at him, then looked away, closed her eyes to rest, and did not continue speaking.

Yue Qingying sat down beside her. "Feiyan must be very busy these days, so I won't bother her. You stayed at the Huang family for a while before. Did anything interesting happen?"

"Interesting things? No interesting things, but trouble has come knocking." Mingyan recounted what had happened to him at the Huang family.

“Zhao Feiyun? Zhao Feiliu?” Yue Qingying raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this. “This Zhao Feiyun is quite famous. Like me, he is also at the Qi Sea Full Stage. I have never fought with him, so I don’t know his specific strength. He is the most outstanding disciple of the Zhao family in this generation. The Zhao family has never produced an Extreme Dao Emperor in its ancestors, but it has produced a Human King. It is quite similar to the Yun family that Yun Ling was in before. Before, you were helpless and he dared to come and cause trouble for you. Now that you are the master’s personal disciple, even if he doesn’t like you, he will have to think twice.”

“Once you defeat him with your own hands and become a psychological shadow in his mind, he will naturally stop bothering you.” Yue Wuxia opened her beautiful eyes and glanced at Ming Yan. “As long as you are strong enough, others will only respect you. Your cultivation is too low. I know you want to go to the Peach Banquet. If you haven’t reached Yangling Realm by then, I will not take you there.”

Upon hearing this, Mingyan scratched his head. It seemed that his master had overheard his conversation with his senior sister? However, he had already had this thought in mind, having broken through to Yangling in just a year and a half. He nodded, "I will not let my master down."

Seeing that Mingyan did not refute but instead expressed his opinion seriously, Yue Wuxia nodded in satisfaction.

Yue Qingying's pretty face showed a subtle expression. Although she had previously told Mingyan that if he raised his cultivation to the Yangling Realm, her master would definitely take him to the Peach Banquet, she hadn't expected her master to say it personally... Now, Mingyan had no choice but to go; there was clearly no room for negotiation...

Although my junior brother is indeed exceptionally talented, within a year and a half...

Isn't Master being a bit too strict...?

"Speaking of which, when I visited the Huang family before, something happened," Mingyan said. "At that time..."

Mingyan recounted the ambush he suffered and the theft of Anran's veil. At the time, Mingyan felt compassion, but then realized something was amiss. Later, as the matter came to an end, Mingyan left the Huang family, leaving the incident in his heart.

This time, I'm returning to the Huang family, and there are still several days before the banquet. Perhaps it's time to investigate this matter now.

“An Ran? I’ve heard that name before. She has a rather unpleasant reputation: ‘the beautiful but talentless heiress of the An family.’” Yue Qingying thought for a moment upon hearing this. “So you suspect that her maid played a trick on her?”

“I’m not sure either, it’s just a guess.” Mingyan shook his head.

"I'll investigate this matter when I have time." Yue Qingying thought for a moment. Since it was a case of someone plotting against her junior brother, it was necessary to investigate thoroughly.

"The most important thing during this trip to the Huang family is to understand your physique." Yue Wuxia said softly, "The Human King Physique is special and has many wonderful aspects. The Huang family should have some records of it. When Huang Junru has some free time, I will ask him about it."

Mingyan nodded.
