Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"The Extreme Celestial Domain".

……

Perhaps it was because Yunping's method of arriving at his judgment was too bizarre that Ye Yuchan still felt the old rogue was a bit unreliable.

She leaned closer to Yunping and tentatively asked, "No, you old rogue... how did you figure that out? Don't tell me you just tasted it and knew."

"You know what, I knew it just by tasting it—"

"..."

Yunping waved his hand and laughed, "Blood is a very mysterious thing. It represents both the soul and the body. The things inside are not just cells and genetic factors."

Although Ye Yuchan was very curious about what else was hidden in the blood, now was clearly not the time to inquire about that—

"Then how did you arrive at two completely different... conclusions?"

"Perhaps it's because Bajie stayed in both places for a long time. After all, I'm not a police dog that can track people over long distances just by smelling blood."

—No, no, no, your abilities are far superior to those of a police dog, okay?

Putting aside her inner urge to complain for the moment, Ye Yuchan crossed her arms and asked, "So, should we go to the Extreme Heaven Domain first, or to the place you just pointed to?"

Yun Ping didn't answer either of them, but instead glanced at Ning Xuchen beside him: "Let's get this descendant of Ning Caichen and Xu Xian to a safe place first."

Since he had already offered his help, Yunping naturally wouldn't abandon Ning Xuchen.

The scholar-like young man was taken aback, then immediately realized that his presence seemed to be a burden, so he quickly waved his hand: "No...it's alright, don't trouble yourself, I know the way back..."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense." Yun Ping interrupted Ning Xuchen, putting a hand on his shoulder as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years: "Where are you going back to?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Xuchen hesitated for a long time before nervously pointing to a certain direction: "Go sixty li over there, and you'll reach a ** mountain. After passing the ** mountain, go another fifty li, and you'll reach Broken Wood City. My seriously ill master is recuperating there."

"Oh? That's quite a coincidence."

Yun Ping glanced at Ning Xuchen with interest—the direction he had just pointed was exactly the direction Yun Ping had previously determined where Jiang Yuetian had lingered the longest.

And in terms of distance... it's quite accurate.

In other words, it is very likely that after leaving the courtyard, Jiang Yuetian went to the Broken Wood City and stayed there for a long time.

Ye Yuchan also glanced at Ning Xuchen, who responded with a terrified and timid look, trembling as if he had not yet recovered from the attack by the Blood Spirit.

Is it just a coincidence... or is there some other hidden story?

Ning Xuchen really did look like a weak scholar, not someone with ulterior motives.

Ye Yuchan pondered for a long time. Her experiences over the years had taught her that there were not so many coincidences in this world, and thus she couldn't help but have some doubts about Ning Xuchen.

The coincidences were too great, inevitably raising suspicions of foul play.

"May I ask, what's your master's name?"

"My master?" Ning Xuchen didn't understand why Ye Yuchan would ask this question, but he still answered honestly, "My master's surname is Lu, and her given name is Yingqiu."

—It's a name I've never heard of.

Ye Yuchan and Yun Ping exchanged a glance; neither of them clearly knew much about the name.

So it seems they were overthinking it.

Ye Yuchan still felt it was a bit too coincidental, but without much hope, she asked again.

"Do you recognize someone named Lin Yuan? Or perhaps... Jiang Yuetian?"

Upon hearing the name Lin Yuan, Ning Xuchen showed no reaction; he seemed to have no recollection of the name.

But right after Ye Yuchan uttered the name Jiang Yuetian, he suddenly became obsessed and froze on the spot.

Ning Xuchen stared blankly at the two of them, taking a step back in astonishment: "You... know him?"

really!

Ning Xuchen's reaction piqued the interest of both Yun Ping and Ye Yuchan.

“I recognize him; we have a very special relationship with him.”

Ye Yuchan didn't directly say that Jiang Yuetian was her senior brother, but instead, with a wary look, she turned her gaze to Ning Xuchen: "What is your relationship with him?"

"he……"

Ning Xuchen scratched his head, but did not choose to hide it.

Instead, he uttered something that startled everyone—

"He was my master's master, which means he was my grandmaster..."

……

Yunping: I suddenly have a grand-disciple?!

3. A close call

Jiang Yuetian has taken on an apprentice?

This was somewhat unexpected for Yunping.

It wasn't that Yunping thought it was impossible for Xiao Jiang to take on disciples; he was just a little surprised by the fact that he had become a grandmaster—he had only been out for a short time, and already had grand-disciples?!

Unconsciously, the old rogue imagined a scene in his mind: the courtyard was full of eager students coming to learn from him, almost bursting the gates of Yuntian Academy.

Thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite appealing.

Suddenly, Ning Xuchen noticed that Yun Ping's gaze towards him had softened considerably, as if he were seeing a family member, and Yun Ping even casually put his arm around Ning Xuchen's shoulder.

“Hey Xiao Ning… no, Xiao Chen, we have a pretty good relationship with your grandmaster, but do you know where your Grandmaster Jiang went?”

"he……"

Ning Xuchen looked at Yun Ping, who had suddenly become friendly with him, with a sense of flattery. In his eyes, the two people in front of him were both mysterious and unpredictable powerful figures, especially the silver-haired woman, whose cultivation level had reached the Void Realm. Such important figures were not easy to meet.

He swallowed nervously, then replied timidly, "Actually, I don't know my grandmaster very well; I've only met him a few times... but my master has met him many times..."

In other words, Ning Xuchen knew very little about Jiang Yuetian.

If you want to know where Xiao Jiang went, you probably have to go to Broken Wood City and find Yun Ping's grand-disciple, who is also Ning Xuchen's master—Lu Yingqiu.

Their goals are the same.

Ye Yuchan's gaze swept over the increasingly dense mud around her, which seemed to be condensing into blood spirits, and she said, "Then let's get going—go to Broken Wood City, and I'll take you back there as well."

"What do you need the master for?"

Perhaps still wary of the two who had suddenly appeared, Ning Xuchen did not immediately agree.

However, upon closer reflection, the sudden appearance of these two people saved his life as well as his master's life, so they shouldn't be people with ulterior motives.

But nothing is absolute, and he wasn't sure if Ye Yuchan and Yunping had any other ulterior motives.

In response to Ning Xuchen's question, Yun Ping smiled faintly and uttered words that sent a chill down Ning Xuchen's spine.

"You might not believe it, but according to seniority..."

"You have to call me ancestor."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The scorched, black soil exuded an eerie, demonic aura.

These areas, which would normally require careful traversal, posed no threat to Ning Xuchen, this frail scholar. He had faced death countless times on his way here, nearly being swallowed by the mud and torn apart by demons. It was a miracle that he was even alive enough to see Yun Ping and Ye Yuchan.

This time, however, he no longer needed to tiptoe.

If you ask why—

"You...you...you...Zhenzhen...is my...Great-Grandmaster?!"

The wind was fierce.

As soon as Ning Xuchen opened his mouth, a cold wind would suddenly rush into his mouth, stretching his cheeks open, so his words were not very clear.

Ye Yuchan glanced back at Ning Xuchen, who looked like a goldfish, and crossed her legs like an old rogue: "In terms of seniority, I'm your grand-uncle... or grand-aunt? Anyway, that's the seniority."

As she spoke, a faint layer of spiritual energy condensed around the girl, which is why Ye Yuchan's mouth wasn't filled with wind when she spoke.

Yun Ping chuckled, sitting a thousand meters in the air, holding the chain of a certain flying chicken in his left hand, while glancing at Ye Yuchan, who had a smug smile on her face: "What's wrong, little Yuchan—judging from your expression, you're overjoyed to know you've become a grandmaster uncle?"

"I didn't!" Ye Yuchan retorted with a straight face, but the smile on her lips couldn't be wiped away, and her tone was very relaxed: "I just find it a little novel."

As he spoke, he turned around and casually cast a few spells for Ning Xuchen, using his own spiritual energy to protect the frail scholar and shield him from the powerful wind.

Ning Xuchen, his hair disheveled, stared blankly at Ye Yuchan, utterly bewildered.

The silver-haired woman smiled, patted Ning Xuchen on the shoulder, and said, "From now on, you're my little junior nephew. If you need anything, just tell this grand-uncle, and I'll protect you!"

—They say they're unhappy, but inside they're practically bursting with joy.

After all, even though Duan Xingchen or Fan Luokui were Ye Yuchan's junior sisters, they could only be considered peers. She hadn't met any real juniors yet.

Unexpectedly, he had just left Cangyue City when he met a junior disciple, and he immediately felt a sense of elevated status.

But our Ning Xuchen is still like a fool right now, with an indescribably blank expression.

You can't blame him for that.

After all, it was his first time riding a flying chicken... his first time flying at a height of over a thousand meters, and his first time seeing a chicken with a cultivation level similar to or even higher than his own.

His worldview almost collapsed. While flying in the sky, he repeatedly pinched his thigh, trying to prove that the exaggerated scene in front of him was not a dream.

As it turns out, it is indeed true.

The Flying Chicken is real, and judging from the information Yunping and Ye Yuchan revealed about Jiang Yuetian, their identities may also be real.

In other words, for Ning Xuchen, he was just out gathering herbs when he encountered his great-grandmaster and grandmaster uncle, and incidentally witnessed the only flying chicken in the three great heavens...

He was stunned; he was truly stunned.

Yun Ping and Ye Yuchan didn't say anything about Ning Xuchen's reaction; they both understood.

This is similar to the idea of ​​walking down the street and suddenly seeing your girlfriend pull out a flying sword from her pocket, flying around fighting monsters while telling you, "Actually, I am your mother."

A normal person would have been terrified.

—The prerequisite is that you need to have a girlfriend.
