Don't come over here. I don't want Feng Aotian to misunderstand me.

No matter what the reason is, there is nothing wrong in improving your cultivation.

In this way, Feng Aotian began to immerse himself in cultivation.

......

Xuanxing Sect.

In the morning, since Ye Ping'an was out, only Ningyue and Xiao Mengyao were eating at the table. But for some reason, Ningyue looked a little absent-minded.

"Sister Ningyue, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Mengyao picked up a big chicken leg and looked at Sister Ningyue with a puzzled look.

"Ah! No, nothing. I was just wondering when the young master would come back." Ningyue said absentmindedly. After all, since she met the young master, Ningyue had never been separated from him for such a long time.

"Oh! So that's it!" Xiao Mengyao understood. In fact, she also missed her senior brother. She usually dreamed that her senior brother came back and played happily with her. After all, since she could remember, her senior brother had never been away for so long. Now that they have been separated for such a long time, of course she missed him very much.

However, it was because the food cooked by Sister Ningyue was so delicious that Xiao Mengyao's attention was diverted.

When she saw Sister Ningyue's expression, Xiao Mengyao's thoughts that were originally suppressed by the food quickly ignited, and she immediately reminded her: "Sister Ningyue, I miss Brother too. Why don't you eat something too? If you have something delicious, you won't miss Brother for a while."

"Okay, okay, sister will eat it right away." After gently touching Xiao Mengyao's soft hair, she picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

In fact, Ningyue was not just thinking about the young master, but also the poor red-haired girl she met yesterday.

75. The little notebook under the bed is still...

Originally, Ningyue would kill the other party no matter what he said, even if the poor girl lost her parents when she was young, just like herself.

She couldn't let it go, after all, she had finally lived a peaceful life. Now, she was just an ordinary maid of Xuanxing Sect, and she would not allow anyone to break it.

However, just when she was about to kill the poor girl yesterday, she accidentally heard her say "Brother Ping'an". That's why Ningyue showed mercy.

Of course, although she didn't kill the other person, it was necessary to add a little protection. So, in the end, Ningyue cast a life and death curse on the girl so that she could control her life and death at any time.

Although he threatened the girl with life and death so that she would not reveal her identity, it was hard for him to tell the real situation.

What if the other party is stupid enough to actually go looking for the elders in the sect and want to lift the life and death curse that he has cast on him?

If this is true, even if I use the Life and Death Curse to kill the other party afterwards, it will be useless, because I will have been exposed by then.

Although it may not burn Xuanxing Sect for the time being, what about the future? It is hard to say.

Just like that, Ningyue finished her breakfast with Xiao Mengyao with a lot on her mind.

Then, he began to supervise Xiao Mengyao's practice.

Although Xiao Mengyao has already established her foundation, she is very obedient to Ningyue, who is still a 'mortal'.

Maybe it was due to Ningyue’s good craftsmanship, or maybe it was something else.

......

On the carriage leading to Xuanxing Sect.

It might be because the royal horses were of very good bloodline, so they traveled very fast along the way. Moreover, compared to the carriages at the post station, the shock absorption effect of the car provided by Shui Ling'er's family was much stronger. Compared with the bumpy environment when they came here, it could be called heaven.

Moreover, this carriage is obviously much more spacious than the carriages provided by the post station. The most important thing is that there are not so many people crowded together, so the space seems to be very large and you can completely relax.

Along the way, Shui Ling'er might be a little bored, so she often came to Ye Ping'an, sat next to him, and talked about random things. Ye Ping'an didn't care, after all, she was a girl who had just left home, so it was understandable that she was lonely for a while.

And because Shui Ling'er often sticks to him, Ye Ping'an also enjoys the beauty in his arms. Finally, his dream came true. Unfortunately, the girl in front of him is the heroine, and Ye Ping'an really doesn't dare to attack Shui Ling'er as in the plot.

After all, she followed me to cultivate immortality and become a fairy, not because she liked me.

No wonder he had such a strong desire to cultivate immortality when he grew up, it turned out that he had it since he was a child. Ye Pingan admired him for abandoning his identity in the secular world in order to cultivate immortality.

Of course, what Ye Pingan admired the most was that when he left, Shui Ling'er's father and mother specially prepared two maids to take care of Shui Ling'er, but Shui Ling'er refused them all. She also said: "Cultivators should not enjoy material things."

Ye Pingan was very impressed when he heard this. If he were in the same situation as Shui Ling'er, he might not be able to be as tenacious as Shui Ling'er. After all, if he had the conditions to get the care of the maid, why would he give it up?

Shui Ling'er, who was standing by, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she thought of the scene when her mother wanted to get two maids to take care of her. Fortunately, she refused.

In the picture book under Shui Ling'er's bed, there are many plots about the maids around the princess. Those maids are beautiful and plump, and they are very tempting to make mistakes. They often help their masters and bear the "anger" of the male protagonist. Sometimes they will secretly roll in bed with the male protagonist behind their masters' backs.

The most important thing is that some maids even directly took over and snatched the position of the heroine from the princess. Every time Shui Ling'er saw this, she would look at the smiling maids around her with vigilance.

Because of her "sufficient experience", Shui Ling'er was alert when she saw the two fierce maids. She immediately imitated the lines of the inspirational protagonist in the little book and persuaded her father and mother, so that she did not make a big mistake.

Otherwise, there would be more than just me and my brother Ping'an in this carriage.

Wait...Speaking of sketchbooks, Shui Ling'er suddenly thought of the large number of sketchbooks placed under the bed in the room.

After I leave, my father and mother will definitely send someone to clean up my house! If I see these picture books, wouldn't it be... wouldn't it be...

Thinking of the surprised looks her father and mother would give her when she returned home in the future, Shui Ling'er couldn't help but scream, "Ah! I'm too embarrassed to see anyone."

"What's wrong, Sister Ling'er? What happened?" Ye Ping'an was also startled by Shui Ling'er's exclamation and asked hurriedly.

"No... It's okay... I just saw a bug, but... it ran away... It ran away." Shui Ling'er was unwilling to say what she just thought, wouldn't it be too embarrassing? So, she stammered and said it was okay.

"Is that so? Then tell me the next time you see one and I'll kill it." Ye Ping'an didn't doubt him. After all, it was normal to have bugs in the grass by the roadside. It was understandable that one or two would fly in occasionally!

"Yeah!" Shui Ling'er nodded, and then squatted aside without making any noise. It took some time for Shui Ling'er to get used to deceiving Brother Ping'an for the first time. Before she got used to it, Shui Ling'er was not going to talk to Brother Ping'an. After all, if he knew that she was a bad woman who lied to others, he didn't know if Brother Ping'an would still like her.

In this way, the carriage traveled all the way. In just over twenty days, it brought Ye Ping'an and Shui Ling'er to the post station they had left before.

It was clear that the carriage's journey had come to an end.

On the road ahead, only Ye Ping'an can lead Shui Ling'er forward.

He got off the carriage and said goodbye to the driver: "Thank you for your hard work along the way, brother."

"Haha, it's my blessing to have the honor of escorting you, young man. Afterwards, please take good care of Her Royal Highness the Princess." The coachman said respectfully.

This driver was the guard that Ye Ping'an had talked to at the city gate. Because he was familiar with Ye Ping'an, he was sent by the king to be Ye Ping'an's driver. He was the only one. After all, although Ye Ping'an was young, he was also an immortal master. He didn't need protection at all. If there were more people, Ye Ping'an would have to be protected, which would be a loss.

"Don't worry!" Ye Ping'an nodded.

Then, he took Shui Ling'er and walked towards Xuanxing Sect.

Not long after walking out, he ran into a brother and sister whom he had met once before. They were the same two people that Ye Ping'an had met when he went down the mountain.

76. Illegitimate daughter?

Seeing the two of them both with lost expressions, Ye Pingan couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What are you doing?"

"It's you, brother! Hey! My brother and I have been looking for an immortal family to take us in for the past two months. Finally, we found one that was willing to take us in. However, we didn't expect that the immortals would just treat us as servants. We wanted to learn the immortals' methods, but we were ridiculed for learning anything without talent. Is talent so important?" The older brother sighed and asked in confusion, "Brother, didn't you go down the mountain? Why are you still here?"

"Hey! My sister happens to have some talent, and she's ready to give it a try. I just followed her passively." Ye Ping'an sighed helplessly, and by the way, he pulled Shui Ling'er's finger as a hint.

"I see. I hope your sister can be treated well. We are both ready to return to the secular world, so we'll take our leave here." The young man bowed to the two of them and took his sister away.

Before leaving, the younger sister looked back. But this time she didn't look at Ye Ping'an, but at Shui Ling'er with envy. Obviously, when she heard Ye Ping'an say that Shui Ling'er was talented, the girl's heart was filled with infinite yearning.

After the two of them walked away, Shui Ling'er behind them whispered, "Brother Ping'an, what are they doing?"

"Oh! We had the chance to meet each other when we were going down the mountain before. I didn't expect that both of us never found our own opportunities in the end." Ye Ping'an couldn't help but sigh.

"By the way, Brother Ping'an, it is said that cultivation requires talent. Well... I wonder what my talent is? How does it compare to Brother Ping'an? Is it half as good as Brother Ping'an's?" Shui Ling'er said in a low voice.

After all, Shui Ling'er had never considered whether she could practice before. She always thought that she was the heroine and should have some talent. However, when she was almost at the door and met the brother and sister, she began to get anxious.

What if I don’t have good talent?

Ye Pingan was speechless for a while, thinking to himself, how dare you compare your talent with mine? Are you kidding me? You even said if you have half of mine, we can multiply a three-digit number the other way around.

But, if Ye Ping'an really said this, wouldn't it make him look very embarrassed?

So he smiled slightly, touched Shui Ling'er's soft blue hair, and said with a guilty conscience: "Don't worry! Ling'er is very talented, a little better than me, your brother."

"Really...really?" Shui Ling'er asked excitedly.

"Yes! Believe me, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you here." Ye Ping'an said affirmatively.

"Hehe, that's good." Shui Ling'er smiled happily.

......

Compared with the departure from Xuanxing Sect, this time when returning to Xuanxing Sect from the post station, there was no flying sword, but simply walking, which made the already long journey even longer.

Not surprisingly, Ye Ping'an finally carried Shui Ling'er on his back. Fortunately, he bought some food at the post station before getting off the carriage, otherwise he would have to waste time eating.

Just like that, three days later, Ye Ping'an finally brought Shui Ling'er to the market they had left before.

"Young Master is back!" The manager of the market town had seen Ye Ping'an's return from a distance and immediately greeted him. However, when he saw Shui Ling'er beside Ye Ping'an, he suddenly became confused. Seeing how close the two of them were, could it be that... they were brother and sister?

It is undeniable that their Xuanxing Sect's leader Ye Lingtian is still very handsome, and he is also a Jindan stage cultivator. A Jindan stage cultivator is a powerful existence even in the lower reaches, let alone in the lower reaches. He is simply the dream lover of those young women.

With such conditions, he must have been involved in many affairs. Maybe he had an illegitimate child with that beautiful woman in the secular world when he was traveling before?

Of course, I couldn't ask this question directly. Even if I asked the young master, he wouldn't admit it. Although the young master was still young, he was like an adult. I really didn't think I could fool him. So I pretended to be confused and asked, "Who is this?"

"This is Shui Ling'er, a close friend I made in the secular world of the Land of No Spirits. She has a good talent for cultivation, so I brought her back to Xuanxing Sect. Ling'er, this is Uncle Chen, one of the foundation-building elders of our Xuanxing Sect." Ye Ping'an immediately introduced the two of them.

"Hello, Uncle Chen." Shui Ling'er immediately greeted him respectfully. A few days before leaving, as the king's father, he had already popularized the knowledge of the world of immortal cultivation for his daughter. The foundation building mentioned by Brother Ping'an meant that this person had become a master with good cultivation, even more powerful than Brother Ping'an.

Elder Chen nodded immediately, thinking to himself, it seems very likely that this is the bastard's illegitimate child! After all, this excuse sounded very familiar to Elder Chen.

But, regardless of whether he is an illegitimate child or not, he should stay with the young master and not offend him. He immediately took out a few things from his arms with a little pain in his heart, handed them to Shui Ling'er, and said, "Well! Okay, since you are the elder, you should give some gifts to the younger generation. Take these spirit stones first, they should be of some help to you who have just embarked on the path of cultivation."

"What is this?" Shui Ling'er took these beautiful stones woodenly and looked at Ye Ping'an with a puzzled look.

"This is a precious spiritual stone that assists in cultivation. It can help you speed up your cultivation. Why don't you thank Elder Chen?" Ye Ping'an couldn't help wondering, what was Elder Chen thinking today? Originally, spiritual stones were very valuable in the lower reaches. After all, the spiritual power in the lower reaches was very thin. Only by practicing with spiritual stones could one be faster.

In addition, because Ye Ping'an used up most of the spirit stones in the warehouse, and the remaining spirit stones were used to purchase medicinal materials for the foundation-building pill, it can be said that the spirit stones were not enough for himself, let alone giving them to others. But since it has been received, how can it not be accepted? He quickly winked at Shui Ling'er.

After such a long time of contact, Shui Ling'er and Ye Ping'an had already developed some tacit understanding. She immediately put the beautifully designed stones into the pocket of her skirt and immediately thanked Elder Chen: "Thank you, Uncle Chen."

Elder Chen saw that the greeting gifts had been given out, and immediately waved his hands: "Haha! It's okay, it's okay. Okay, you guys get busy! Uncle Chen, I won't bother you anymore."

"Goodbye Uncle Chen!"

"Goodbye Uncle Chen!"

After saying goodbye to Elder Chen, Ye Ping'an brought Shui Ling'er to the market.

77. I want to work overtime with Ganyu

Looking at the bustling crowd in front of her with some surprise, it was obvious that as a princess, Shui Ling'er had never seen such a market-like place before. Thinking that these people were all immortal masters, she couldn't help but get nervous and quickly hid behind Ye Ping'an.

Ye Ping'an smiled slightly but didn't say anything. Instead, he took Shui Ling'er to the store where they had previously ordered the Xu Ling grass.

When Ye Ping'an walked into the store, the store manager immediately recognized him and hurried forward: "Little friend Ye, you are finally here."

"Haha, the journey is a bit slow. I wonder if the things I ordered have arrived yet?"

"Here we are, here we are. We have arrived a long time ago. If Young Master Ye doesn't come soon, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced. Here, this is the Xu Ling grass you wanted." The steward said this and handed a wooden box containing medicinal herbs to Ye Ping'an.

Ye Pingan opened the wooden box and confirmed that the year was correct and that it was exactly the Xu Ling grass he needed. He immediately put the wooden box away and clasped his fists to the store owner: "Okay, thank you." Then he took out the few remaining spirit stones from his arms with some pain.

After all, the Void Spirit Grass is still a magical medicine. Although it is not very useful, it still costs three low-grade spiritual stones.

"Hehe, if you need anything, just come to me. I guarantee a better deal than other places." The manager who received the spirit stone naturally put it in his arms with a smile.

Ye Pingan nodded, and after chatting with the shopkeeper for a few words, he left the shop. Originally, Ye Pingan wanted to take Shui Ling'er for a stroll in the market. However, the two of them had been traveling for several days and did not have the heart to continue shopping.

Just like that, Ye Ping'an did not continue to stroll around with Shui Ling'er, and went straight back to Xuanxing Sect.

......

Exit from the mountain gate of Xuanxing Sect.

At this moment, Ningyue was standing at the gate of Xuanxing Sect with Xiao Mengyao.

In the past few days, the two of them would appear at the gate of Xuanxing Sect, waiting for the expected figure.

Because before Ye Pingan left, he also said that it would take about two months for him to come back. Seeing that the time was approaching, Ningyue and Xiao Mengyao often came to the mountain gate in the past two days to wait for Ye Pingan to come back.

On this day, the two of them were looking forward to the mountain as usual, hoping that the figure they had been thinking about day and night would suddenly appear and return safely.

Of course, the disciples passing by often saw these two girls, one big and one small.

They would also come forward to say hello. Female disciples might even pester Ningyue and ask her for some secrets intentionally or unintentionally.

Obviously, these female disciples have not given up yet. Seeing that Ningyue has surpassed themselves and become the top peak of Xuanxing Sect, these female disciples are extremely greedy. They wish they could plant the two peaches on Ningyue's body on themselves to realize the ancient secret grafting technique.

The male disciple simply said hello and nothing more happened. After all, Ningyue was very cold to other people. In addition, in the impression of the disciples, Ningyue was already the young master. Even if the young master was a waste, he had a father in the Jindan stage!

As for Xiao Mengyao next to him, it had basically been spread throughout the Xuanxing Sect that she was the young sect master's child bride. He dared not approach her to talk to her, fearing that the sect master Ye Lingtian and the sect master's wife Shen Mengting would see her and make trouble for her.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Ningyue and Xiao Mengyao both showed lost expressions and prepared to go home.
