One of my fairy-like friends

Mingyan thought for a moment about what he had in his dantian, but couldn't come up with anything of value. He chuckled awkwardly, "Senior Sister, please don't be offended. Junior Brother will go and find some for you later..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mingyan's mouth was covered by a jade finger. Yue Qingying used the index finger of her other hand to press against Mingyan's lips, with a half-smile, "Junior brother has not had any free time these past few days. I remember when I entered meditation to break through, junior brother was still at the Yinling stage. I never thought that in just a few days, junior brother would already be at the Qi Sea stage. Junior brother's cultivation is more important. As for senior sister... it doesn't matter."

"It doesn't matter?" Mingyan felt a strange sensation in his senior sister's tone, which carried a hint of resentment.

Yue Qingying smiled gently, "I originally planned to help you find an extremely Yin item after my breakthrough, but I never expected that you would catch up with me so soon after my breakthrough. It makes me very proud and also surprises me. I haven't prepared any suitable gift for you yet, or rather, I did prepare one, but it's no longer suitable for you now."

Mingyan blinked. "What has Senior Sister prepared?"

"I had prepared some elixirs with strong yang energy, but now that you've broken through to the Qi Sea stage, these things would lose the effect I originally intended to give you. It's alright not to give them to you." Yue Qingying's smile deepened. "I haven't prepared a gift for myself, so I shouldn't blame you, nor do I want to, but..."

only...?

Mingyan's heart skipped a beat. He felt that his senior sister's words had a hidden meaning, as if she wanted to say something. He felt like he was trying to grasp some clues, but he couldn't quite put them together.

"But..." Yue Qingying's voice echoed in Ming Yan's mind. Ming Yan raised an eyebrow. Was this telepathy?

"It's just that Master sacrificed too much. Although it's true that you should raise Junior Brother's cultivation, this is too much..." These words came directly to Ming Yan's mind. Yue Qingying transmitted them all, but Ming Yan could clearly see the faint sorrow on her pretty face.

"...Master sacrificed too much?" Mingyan knew that his master was extremely good to him and had spent a great deal of money on him. In order to find suitable weapon materials for him, he even exchanged the immortal gold of Fengling Yueying in exchange for the Tongyou immortal gold. His master had indeed spent a lot to cultivate him, which moved Mingyan very much. However, this statement was somewhat incoherent. His breakthrough and his master's great sacrifice did not seem to have a direct relationship, right?

“Yes, even if you lack extremely yin elements, Master didn’t need to personally go into battle…” Yue Qingying sighed deeply, “Master…”

These words were still transmitted telepathically, presumably because Senior Sister didn't want Master to hear them.

With her master's cultivation level, not to mention the Immortal Island, she could hear anything within the reach of her divine sense as long as she wanted. And even though the Immortal Island was only a short distance away, she could hear every word without making a fuss.

? ? ? ?

Mingyan was a little confused by his senior sister and didn't understand what she meant.

He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively transmitted his voice, "Senior Sister, what are you saying? Why can't I understand?"

"Junior Brother's breakthrough wasn't due to a lack of pure Yin energy? Master's cultivation at the Human Realm means her Yin energy is also a great tonic for you, right?" Yue Qingying said softly, "It's all replenished to your Qi Sea..."

Yue Qingying was well aware that Mingyan's Yin and Yang energies were different from those of a normal person. She had previously taken Mingyan to the cold pool beneath Yueying's eyes, and Mingyan had also inquired about how to cross the Yin and Yang energies. At that time, Yue Qingying had told Mingyan that it was either through bloodletting or through some rather primitive method.

However, Yin and Yang energies do not exist entirely in the blood. Yin and Yang energies in the blood only occupy a small part of the body, and not everyone is like Mingyan, whose blood contains a large amount of Yang energy.

Therefore, upon hearing his senior sister's words, Mingyan naturally understood what she meant. He was greatly alarmed and quickly transmitted his voice, "Senior sister, you can't say such things! My relationship with Master... my relationship with Master is not what you imagine..."

“Of course I know that Master is only concerned with your future, not with personal feelings.” As Yue Qingying spoke, she was on the verge of tears, a sight that evoked pity in me. “You must be filial to Master in the future and never overstep your bounds in the slightest.”

"Senior Sister! You've misunderstood!" Mingyan quickly corrected him, "My cultivation didn't break through by doing *that* with Master, but through another fortuitous opportunity!"

Mingyan's heart was pounding. She was terrified that her master would overhear her. She hadn't meant anything by it, but the listener might have taken it to heart. If her master suspected her of having rebellious thoughts towards him, she feared she wouldn't be able to get close to him at all, and might even be punished...

How could a disciple harbor such rebellious thoughts towards his master?

What a traitor! He can't even have a son!

Chapter 134 Senior Sister, Older Sister

"Another opportunity?" Yue Qingying's eyes were misty, revealing tears. Mingyan felt a pang of heartache and quickly reached out to wipe his senior sister's eyes. He felt that his senior sister was so filial, and he shouldn't have any greedy thoughts towards his master.

"Hmm... Senior Sister has misunderstood..." Although Mingyan appreciated his senior sister's filial piety, he also felt her thoughts were too far-fetched. How could she suddenly think of the things their master and he had done... those things? My god, Mingyan felt he would never be able to look his master in the eye again...

Mingyan told his senior sister about his experiences during this period, including the discovery of Riyue Village and his encounter with Wang Qingchu, but he still omitted the three days he spent with Wang Qingchu.

"Sister... I see... I see." Yue Qingying tightened her grip on Ming Yan's interlocked fingers, her face showing sudden realization.

"So, you must not let Master know what Senior Sister said. Otherwise, although Senior Sister cares about Master, Master might overthink it if he hears it. There has been no overstepping of boundaries between Master and me," Ming Yan transmitted his voice. It was truly terrifying. Fortunately, Senior Sister knew her limits and transmitted these words.

Beneath Yue Qingying's wooden house lies an array personally carved by Yue Wuxia. In addition to spatial expansion, it also involves soundproofing, ensuring that both Yue Qingying and Ming Yan have ample privacy.

The concealment of sound transmission is already very high, but at such a close distance, it would be easy for Yue Wuxia to hear it. However, with the formation in place, even if Yue Wuxia wanted to hear something, she would need to put in some effort.

Yue Wuxia naturally had no time to eavesdrop on what her two disciples were talking about.

Yue Qingying smiled slightly and nodded gently, "I did misunderstand... But this older sister... I should congratulate my junior brother on finding his own sister."

Mingyan felt a warmth in his heart as his senior sister gripped his hand tightly, clearly excited and happy for him. "Thank you, senior sister."

"Why haven't I heard a single word from you about what kind of person your sister is?" Yue Qingying moved closer to Ming Yan and asked gently.

"My sister..." Mingyan didn't really want to tell his senior sister. He had always treated her like his own sister, and she had always treated him like her own brother. But now that he had a biological sister, would she feel anything...?

Mingyan wondered if his senior sister had told him she didn't have a younger brother, but then a younger brother suddenly appeared. Would he have any other thoughts if he were closer to his senior sister than to her?

He probably offered congratulations on the surface, but there must have been some...emotions in his heart, since it meant that his senior sister might not be as close to him as before.

He put himself in her shoes and realized he shouldn't go into details about his sister. His sister had been incredibly good to him, but his senior sister had treated him poorly. Mingyan didn't want his senior sister to overthink things.

Unexpectedly, my senior sister brought it up herself...

My senior sister said she had no relatives and treated him like a younger brother. But now I suddenly have an older sister. If my senior sister knew how my sister treated him, and how he treated her, I'm afraid she would feel a little jealous.

"What's wrong? Why are you so hesitant?" Yue Qingying's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Ming Yan. "Junior Brother's sister is my sister. I want to know more about her... Or is it that Junior Brother thinks that Senior Sister is an outsider and it's not appropriate to talk about family matters?"

These words weren't transmitted telepathically, but spoken aloud, in a low, resentful tone, yet upon closer listening, they seemed to carry little emotion...

"My sister is a wonderful person."

Although he had to consider his senior sister's feelings, Mingyan couldn't bring himself to say anything bad about Wang Qingchu.

Wang Qingchu was once a hero who fought against darkness and turmoil. In this life, although she puts the world aside and values ​​Mingyan more, outsiders may stand on the moral high ground and say that she is not good, but Mingyan cannot. How can the word "competent" be used to describe Wang Qingchu, this older sister? She is too good to him, so good that Mingyan is so infatuated with her that he feels he has to leave her, otherwise he will lose the motivation to improve himself and lose interest in other things.

For Mingyan to speak ill of Wang Qingchu, he would have to be a heartless scoundrel who could lie through his teeth.

But Mingyan was different; he could not and absolutely did not want to speak ill of Wang Qingchu.

"Okay, go on, I'm listening." Yue Qingying smiled, without any emotion. Ming Yan secretly observed her, then felt relieved. How could his senior sister be such a jealous person? He was possessive, so how could he use his own thoughts to judge others?

Mingyan thought for a moment and then gave a general account of what had happened between him and Wang Qingchu.

But the things Wang Qingchu said to him were a bit cheesy. Although Mingyan was deeply moved and loved his sister to death, saying them now made him blush. For example, "I loved you even before you were born"—how could he say such a thing? His senior sister probably wouldn't believe that she would say such a thing to her brother. How could that be? She probably thought he was just trying to fool her.

As Yue Qingying listened to Ming Yan speak, a smile graced her pretty face, and her eyes sparkled.

Yue Qingying was naturally intelligent, so how could she not notice that Ming Yan's words were somewhat disjointed, and that he was very likely hiding something?

But she could also tell that Mingyan greatly admired and protected the sister who had suddenly appeared. The sister had been so good to him that his junior brother had grown to like her so much in such a short time.

Of course, it was wonderful. How many people would care about her junior brother? Seeing that her junior brother seemed to be carefully observing her expression, Yue Qingying smiled inwardly, feeling a wave of tenderness wash over her. How could she not guess that Ming Yan was hiding something to take care of her feelings?

Presumably, his sister, who was so good to him, felt even more for him than that. Otherwise, how could she have won his junior brother's deep affection for her in just three days?

"Your sister has been so good to you, you must not let her down." Yue Qingying held Mingyan's hand and said gently, "You should go back to see her more often and spend time with her. Although she is a half-step extreme Dao Great Adult King Body, I heard you say that her heart is entirely devoted to you, her younger brother. You, as her younger brother, must not let her down."

When Mingyan heard his senior sister advising him to spend more time with his sister instead, and not showing any signs of jealousy, he realized that she was just overthinking things. Mingyan felt relieved, scratched his head, and said, "Senior sister... my sister is too good to me. I was worried that I would linger and not want to leave, so I took the initiative to leave. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would want to stay by my sister's side all the time."

Upon hearing this, Yue Qingying shifted her gaze, her beautiful eyes filled with a melancholy. "That's true. Even though Sister Wang treats you very well, you still need to improve your cultivation as soon as possible so that Sister Wang can truly recover quickly."

Mingyan nodded, "I will certainly not disappoint my sister, my master, or my senior sister."

Yue Qingying turned around and looked at Ming Yan with a gentle smile. Her gaze was tender, yet held a hidden meaning, strikingly similar to the enigmatic look her master had given her earlier...

Although his senior sister was not similar to his master, the temperament she exuded was somewhat similar, which puzzled Mingyan.

"Senior sister...did you have any other name before you became a disciple of Master?"

When Ming Yan suddenly changed the subject, Yue Qingying paused for a moment, then shook her head. "I've had the surname Yue since I can remember. Why do you ask that?"

"Well, it's just a wild guess." Ming Yan smiled slightly, but in his heart he wondered, could his senior sister be a descendant of the royal family of the mortal world?

If this conjecture is true, then Master is actually considered Senior Sister's ancestor... It can't be that much of a coincidence, right? I'll ask Master about it later.

"Well, by the way, since my previous guess was wrong, then why did Junior Brother come out of Master's room?" Yue Qingying's attention was not on the topic that Ming Yan suddenly changed, and she asked with a smile.

“...Ah...this…” Mingyan thought for a moment and decided that he had better tell the truth, otherwise his senior sister would misunderstand again, and he was too lazy to explain.

Mingyan then recounted how his master had rewarded him after his breakthrough.

"I originally thought my request was a bit presumptuous, but I never expected that Master would actually agree..."

Mingyan was also somewhat surprised, even taken aback. He had forced himself to speak, expecting his master to scold him, but the result...

Chapter 135 You really don't like Ming Yan? 23/30

Yue Qingying said coquettishly, "How can you be so presumptuous? You hugged Master before, so you thought you could sleep with Master in your arms. Junior brother, it's better if you keep some distance from Master. Otherwise, if Master has some bad thoughts one day, wouldn't he distance himself from you?"

Mingyan thought so too. Maintaining a "certain" distance now was just to be able to experience his master's gentleness for a longer period of time. Mingyan could naturally distinguish which was better for him.

Seeing Mingyan nod, Yue Qingying nodded in satisfaction. After hesitating for a moment, she asked again, "Tell your senior sister honestly, do you have any romantic feelings for Master?"

"Absolutely not!" Mingyan said decisively. What a joke! If there were anything, his master would be the first to kick him away, and he would probably never be able to get close to his master again in his entire life.

Although there is now an older sister, the older sister and the master are different, just as the older sister and the senior sister are different.

"Really nothing? Tell your senior sister, and she won't tell anyone else, including Master." Yue Qingying smiled.

"Really, no, Senior Sister. I only have filial piety and respect for Master... I have absolutely no rebellious or overstepping thoughts." Mingyan was somewhat troubled. Senior Sister always seemed to feel that there was something between her and Master...

When he came out of his master's room earlier, he felt that his senior sister's eyes were mysterious and had a hidden meaning. Now it seems that she did have some guesses about the relationship between him and his master... but this is wrong.

Yue Qingying nodded, smiled gently, and placed her intertwined hands with Mingyan's in front of her lower abdomen, patting them lightly. "Master can't hear you, but, well, senior sister is willing to believe you. You're not the kind of person who would have any inappropriate thoughts about Master."

Mingyan felt a little uneasy. He could control himself now, but what if he lost control in the future...?

"Does Sister Wang also like to hold your hand like this?" Yue Qingying looked down at her hand and Ming Yan's index fingers intertwined and asked with a light laugh.

Yue Qingying's skin was extremely fair, while Mingyan, being a man, didn't have such fair skin. When Mingyan's palm and Yue Qingying's jade-like hand were clasped together, there was a noticeable difference in color. Their fingers were tightly intertwined, and Yue Qingying seemed to enjoy holding Mingyan's hand like this, though Mingyan didn't know why.

"Hmm." Mingyan nodded subconsciously, then felt something was off. Should he not have brought this up?

Mingyan turned to look at Yue Qingying, and saw her looking at him with a half-smile. "Most older sisters in the world like to do this, holding their younger brothers' hands, afraid that their younger brothers will get lost, and not wanting their younger brothers to leave them. That's what I think, and I'm sure that's what Sister Wang thinks too."

Really? Mingyan felt that holding hands like this didn't seem like a senior sister and junior brother, nor like siblings, but more like... Daoist partners?

But Mingyan immediately rejected this idea. Didn't his senior sister understand things better than he did? His sister had lived for nine thousand years; didn't she understand things better than he did?

"Maybe..."

“Junior brother’s cultivation has just broken through, and I have also broken through to the Divine Palace. We have some free time, so why don’t we practice what we talked about before and train you a bit? Otherwise, you and Ning Feixuan will probably have difficulty communicating.” Yue Qingying said softly.

"Hmm..." Mingyan was also thinking about this matter; he had been wanting to practice with his senior sister.

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

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

The sacred land of Yaochi welcomed two familiar guests: Huang Qingfei and Huang Feiyan.

Ning Feixuan had broken through to the Divine Realm a few days ago. Now, she was by Ning Mengru's side, looking at Huang Feiyan with a charming smile and winking at her.
