Chapter 80: If Senior Sister is Willing to Teach, I’m Willing to Learn
Yue Wu Xia’s stance surprised no one. She was Mingyan’s master and his protector. Besides, she had always been known for her domineering style, even in her youth.
But the Huang family’s support was suggestive. They had spoken up for him twice. First, Huang Junyi, with her affectionate “good little brother”… He was only sixteen, and she was several hundred years old. Was their relationship truly that close?
Then, Huang Junru had spoken on behalf of the entire Huang family, her words carrying a deeper meaning that invited speculation.
Now, Mingyan’s name was truly famous.
Although many had considered him extraordinary before, a real battle revealed one’s true strength.
The little Kun Peng king, Bei Ming Ni, was the second-ranked genius of the Demon Clan, having defeated many Holy Sons and young masters from prominent families. His strength was undeniable. Even at Mingyan’s cultivation level, he could fight across realms, his fame spreading throughout the Eastern Continent. And since the identity of the top-ranked demon was unknown, many considered him the de facto number one…
Although the little Kun Peng king had suppressed his cultivation, he was a Divine Gate Realm cultivator. Even with his cultivation level lowered, his physique remained at the Divine Gate Realm. The Demon Clan was known for its strong physiques, and the Kun Peng clan was among the best. Yet, Mingyan had been able to contend with him physically, even gaining the upper hand. This showed that Mingyan’s physique was even stronger than his!
And he also had a unique phenomenon, a bright moon in the night sky, which could counter the Kun Peng phenomenon.
The Kun Peng clan were descendants of the ancient Great Emperor Kun Peng. The little Kun Peng king was the most outstanding of their younger generation, his bloodline pure, his talent exceptional. If he hadn’t been born in the wrong era, he might have even had a chance to compete for the throne.
But this little Kun Peng king had been defeated by Mingyan, stomped under his foot… This would surely give the human race something to boast about, allowing them to stand taller before the Demon Clan.
An Canhui had only managed a draw against the little Kun Peng king, and with the mysterious top-ranked demon still unknown, it seemed the human race’s top genius was inferior to the demon’s. This had been a source of frustration for many.
But now, with Mingyan, who could directly defeat the little Kun Peng king, it meant the top human and demon talents were on par. Without a real battle, no one could say the human race was inferior to the Demon Clan.
After the battle, Mingyan’s stamina gradually recovered. The secret technique had consumed a great deal of his energy. After several checks, he confirmed that besides depleting his stamina, it had no other side effects. This reassured him. He could use it in future battles.
However, although the only side effect was exhaustion, he still needed to use it cautiously. If he couldn’t end the fight while his strength was amplified, he would be at the mercy of his opponent.
Mingyan returned to Yue Wu Xia’s side. She stared at him for a moment, then nodded slightly. “Well done. I have a reward for you when we get back.”
Mingyan nodded. His master was so good to him… He had never had parents. Having such a master was like having a cold but secretly caring mother. It warmed his heart.
Yue Qingying came over, took his hand, and examined him carefully. “Are you injured?”
“I suffered a few minor injuries during the fight, but it’s nothing serious. I’ve already recovered.” Mingyan smiled. The Human King Physique was naturally suited for battle, with incredible regenerative abilities, comparable to the terrifying healing power of the Huang family’s Phoenix blood.
“That’s good.” Yue Qingying sighed in relief. Although she was impressed by his strength, she had been worried he might be injured. Seeing he was fine, she relaxed.
Huang Feiyan and Huang Junyi approached. Huang Feiyan smiled. “Congratulations. The name ‘Mingyan’ will surely resonate throughout the Eastern Continent now, making you a formidable rival in the eyes of the other young geniuses.”
Mingyan shook his head and smiled helplessly. “I’d rather they didn’t know me. I prefer to be left alone. I could have given them a ‘surprise’ if they didn’t know my strength.”
The unknown was the most terrifying. Revealing his strength so clearly wasn’t a good thing.
Huang Junyi chuckled. “You little rascal, you’re quite mischievous, aren’t you? Hoping they’ll underestimate you? With your strength, you should be aiming to be invincible, just like Sister Yue.”
Yue Wu Xia nodded. “The reason I allowed you to spar with Bei Ming Ni was precisely for this. Your enemies have always been these top-tier geniuses. Defeating them in a direct confrontation, suppressing all enemies in this era, achieving invincibility—this is crucial for your path to enlightenment.”
Mingyan nodded. “I understand, Master.”
“Oh, so you listen to your master, but not to your sister?” Huang Junyi’s tone was strange.
“I listen to you too, Sister. I always keep your words in my heart,” Mingyan quickly replied. His temptress sister was also very good to him. He couldn’t let her think he was ignoring her.
“That’s more like it.” Huang Junyi’s smile was radiant and charming, making his heart race. He didn’t dare look at her directly. He felt surrounded by incredibly alluring women.
His master, a slow-acting poison; his senior sister, who made him fall into a trance; and his temptress sister, who ignited his passion… Good heavens…
Just then, a Holy Master approached, followed by a young celestial maiden with a veiled face. The celestial maiden’s eyes were gentle. Seeing Mingyan looking at her, she shyly averted her gaze. She was also beautiful, though not as stunning as his senior sister, Feiyan, or Ning Feixuan.
“Congratulations, Holy Master Yue, on acquiring such a talented disciple. I wonder if he has a family? A Dao companion? How about… he and my Holy Maiden…”
Yue Qingying bowed respectfully, then smiled. “My junior brother is only sixteen. He’s not interested in such matters. Thank you for your kindness, Holy Master.”
Yue Wu Xia glanced at Yue Qingying, then said, “My disciple is too young to consider such things. This is a crucial time for his cultivation, a time for him to strive for greatness. Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist.”
The other party looked disappointed and left.
Huang Junyi giggled. “It seems little brother has become quite popular. Don’t you have any plans for a Dao companion, little brother? I have an excellent candidate to recommend to you.”
“Second Aunt!” Huang Feiyan blushed, as if remembering something, and quickly pulled on Huang Junyi’s sleeve.
Yue Qingying, seeing this, felt a strange sense of unease but maintained her smile.
Since both his master and senior sister had said he was too young to consider a Dao companion, what could Mingyan say? He shook his head. “I think Master and Senior Sister are right. I should focus on catching up to those geniuses who have already reached the peak of the Qi Sea Realm or even the Divine Gate Realm. Only then can I truly be considered their equal.”
Huang Junyi patted Huang Feiyan’s head and giggled. “I see. What a pity.”
More Holy Masters came to offer their congratulations, and Huang Junyi and Huang Feiyan left. After Yue Wu Xia had finished with the well-wishers, she turned to Mingyan. “Is there something between you and Huang Feiyan that I don’t know about?”
“Huh? No.” Mingyan was stunned, then shook his head. “Why do you ask, Master?”
“Because Feiyan’s attitude towards you seems a bit… subtle. When her second aunt was teasing her just now, she was clearly flustered. She might have some feelings for you.” Yue Qingying’s voice was soft. “Junior Brother, you said you admire Ning Feixuan. You wouldn’t be a philanderer, would you?”
“Of course not.” Mingyan shook his head. “But, Senior Sister, Ning Feixuan seems to be avoiding me. How can I pursue her?”
“Hehe, Senior Sister will teach you.” Yue Qingying glanced at Yue Wu Xia and, seeing she didn’t say anything, relaxed and smiled sweetly.
“Yes, please teach me, Senior Sister.” Mingyan was eager to learn. If his senior sister was willing to teach, he was willing to learn.
