Chapter 164: The Matchmaker Ning Mengru
After temporarily reaching a reconciliation with the Phoenix, the Phoenix finally gave up control of her body. However, because Huang Feiyan’s personality had not yet awakened, Huang Feiyan was still in a coma after the Phoenix gave up control.
Mingyan held Huang Feiyan, letting out a long sigh of relief. What he had been most worried about was that the Phoenix would merge with Huang Feiyan regardless of the cost. And now, at least a balance had been found.
Mingyan helped Huang Feiyan lie down. And at this time, Yue Wu Xia walked in. Yue Wu Xia had been observing here all along, observing how Mingyan handled the matter of the Phoenix. So after the conflict between the two had been temporarily resolved, Yue Wu Xia had come over.
“Master,” Mingyan looked at Yue Wu Xia. Thinking of how Yue Wu Xia had stood on his side without hesitation and had acted against the Phoenix, Mingyan couldn’t help but feel a little moved.
Mingyan had always remembered in his heart not to take others’ kindness for granted, even if she was his master.
Yue Wu Xia waved her hand and shielded Huang Feiyan’s hearing. Although the Phoenix had given up control of her body, the Phoenix might still be able to hear.
“How do you plan to deal with the Phoenix after this?” Yue Wu Xia asked.
“That depends on whether she cooperates or not,” Mingyan said. It was very necessary to stabilize the Phoenix for now, at least to make her give up the possibility of mutual destruction. It didn’t matter if the Phoenix died, but Huang Feiyan couldn’t. If the Phoenix died, and her abilities could be inherited by Huang Feiyan, that would be for the best.
“Are you confident you can handle her?” Yue Wu Xia continued to ask.
Mingyan did not answer this question. Mingyan thought seriously for a while and said, “Master, the current Phoenix thinks that becoming my slave is worse than death. Then once she is no longer my slave, do you think she will still risk her own life to kill me?”
Yue Wu Xia, who had been observing the two of them during this time, naturally understood the Phoenix’s personality. After hearing this, Yue Wu Xia thought for a short while and then said, “From what I know, the vast majority of Great Emperors cherish their lives very much. Otherwise, they would not have taken the elixir of immortality and lived a second life. The Phoenix had also taken the elixir of immortality and lived a second life back then.”
“And she is a Supreme Dao Great Emperor. Since she is no longer my slave, she naturally has no need to risk her life to fight me,” Mingyan said.
“But to kill you is just a snap of the fingers. She doesn’t need to pay anything at all,” Yue Wu Xia reminded. The strength gap between the two was too huge. The safest way was to deal with the Phoenix directly now.
But… because of Huang Feiyan, he couldn’t kill the Phoenix.
“Sister told me a very special method,” Mingyan smiled slightly. “So I am confident.”
So Yue Wu Xia did not ask any more and turned to leave.
Not long after, Yue Qingying walked in. Yue Qingying’s gaze fell on Huang Feiyan. After walking closer, her expression was slightly worried. “Is Feiyan alright?”
“She’s fine for now,” Mingyan shook his head.
Yue Qingying looked at the unconscious Huang Feiyan and sighed softly. “Feiyan’s luck, should it be said to be good, or bad?”
For this best friend of hers, even if Yue Qingying wanted to surpass her in terms of feelings, Yue Qingying did not want Huang Feiyan to have any mishaps. Huang Feiyan was just a rival. Moreover, the two of them were best friends. Although they were on opposite sides in terms of feelings, it did not mean that they were on opposite sides in all aspects.
Mingyan sighed, not knowing what to say. And after Yue Qingying had come to see Huang Feiyan, Yue Qingying did not stay here to be clingy with Mingyan. After all, Huang Feiyan was still lying here. Yue Qingying couldn’t be too bad…
The three of them stayed at Yaochi for about three days. Huang Feiyan’s personality had finally recovered and she had woken up.
Huang Feiyan groggily opened her eyes, looked around, and saw Mingyan guarding by the bed. During the time she was in a coma, she had no related memories. The Phoenix could, through some means, not synchronize her thoughts and memories with Huang Feiyan. So, for Huang Feiyan, her memory only stopped at the moment before she fainted.
“You’re awake?” Mingyan gently caressed Huang Feiyan’s cheek and smiled slightly. “How do you feel?”
“Hmm…” Huang Feiyan placed her hand on the back of Mingyan’s and asked softly, “The Phoenix… how is she?”
Mingyan told Huang Feiyan the current situation. After knowing that the Phoenix was still in her body, Huang Feiyan’s mood was slightly complicated. Her thoughts were also completely transmitted to Mingyan’s heart through the slave mark.
“Don’t worry, there will always be a solution,” Mingyan chuckled lightly.
“Hmm…” Huang Feiyan sat up and gently leaned on Mingyan’s shoulder, saying softly, “I believe you.”
Mingyan could always solve problems. This time was the same.
The two of them hadn’t said a few words when a familiar figure appeared outside the door. Mingyan and Huang Feiyan looked over and saw the Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi, Ning Mengru, standing outside. Ning Mengru had her hands behind her back, her temperament holy and dignified, the lotus on her forehead blooming gracefully. Her green dress made her look even more otherworldly and beautiful.
“Aunt Ning?” Mingyan stood up, and Huang Feiyan also quickly got down from the bed.
“No need to get up,” Ning Mengru entered the room. Ning Mengru stopped Huang Feiyan, who was about to get up, and said with some concern, “What’s wrong with Feiyan? Why is she so weak?”
As a Human Gateway Realm cultivator, Ning Mengru could naturally feel that Huang Feiyan’s state was not normal.
“I just didn’t rest well. I’ve made you worry, Aunt Ning,” Huang Feiyan didn’t want to involve Ning Mengru, so she naturally passed it off with a few words.
Ning Mengru carefully observed Huang Feiyan’s forehead and felt something. Ning Mengru showed a faint smile. “Since that’s the case, then rest well. Mingyan, can I talk to you?”
“Hmm… no problem,” Mingyan nodded. His master was here. Mingyan wasn’t very worried about any problems with Huang Feiyan. So Mingyan went out with Ning Mengru.
Ning Mengru casually had her hands behind her back, her body exuding an immortal aura. The temperament of a Yaochi woman was very different from an ordinary female cultivator. They really looked particularly like celestial maidens.
But, no matter how beautiful a celestial maiden was, she also had a white and flowery side. Mingyan couldn’t help but think of the scene he had seen through the Mandarin Duck mirror before. That scene was too deep, so much so that Mingyan couldn’t forget it even if he wanted to…
Ning Mengru naturally didn’t know the blasphemous picture in the mind of the junior behind her. Ning Mengru chuckled lightly. “Yan’er, how many years have you been cultivating so far?”
Hearing this, Mingyan thought for a moment and said, “Two or three years, right?”
“Two or three years, and you have such cultivation,” Ning Mengru sighed softly. “You are truly a talent.”
When Ning Mengru had first met Mingyan, she had observed him. In the blink of an eye, several years had passed, and the current Mingyan had already grown so outstanding.
“Have you thought about the important events in your life?” Ning Mengru stopped, turned her head to look at Mingyan, and smiled slightly. “The path of cultivation is long. Don’t you want to find someone to accompany you?”
Mingyan was a little surprised. To hear such words from Ning Mengru, the Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi, had an alternative feeling.
The matter of his engagement with Huang Feiyan should probably be made public. Mingyan thought for a while. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Ning Mengru say, “If you have thoughts, but no suitable candidate, why don’t I be a middleman for you and pull some strings?”
The Queen Mother of the West pulling red strings as a matchmaker?
Mingyan was a little surprised. Although he was a little curious about which red string she planned to pull for him, Mingyan still shook his head. “Thank you for your kindness, Aunt Ning. I… perhaps you still don’t know, Feiyan and I are already engaged.”
“…Oh?” Ning Mengru looked at Mingyan, a little surprised. “I see… but you two don’t seem to have made it public yet?”
“Hmm… for some reason, we haven’t made it public for the time being,” Mingyan nodded. “So, Aunt Ning, I can’t accept your kindness.”
Hearing this, Ning Mengru lowered her head and thought for a while, then smiled slightly. “Since it hasn’t been made public yet, then it can’t be considered an engagement.”
When Ning Mengru had observed Huang Feiyan before, she had found that Huang Feiyan seemed to no longer be a virgin. And the only close male friend around her was Mingyan. This also meant that the relationship between Mingyan and Huang Feiyan could probably not be described as “not shallow.” This was already a relationship of “going in deep and coming out shallow.”
Ning Mengru originally had no intention of interfering in the emotional relationships of the younger generation. But her own disciple’s heartbroken look still made Ning Mengru sigh in her heart and couldn’t help but come forward to help her.
“?” Mingyan was surprised. “Aunt Ning… what you’re saying…”
