Chapter 91: The Hopeless Feiyan
The carriage was handed over to Huang Junyi to drive. With her driving, the speed was much faster than when Mingyan was driving.
After returning to the carriage, Feng Shiyi slept for a long time before getting up.
She was truly carefree. Perhaps she really was the innocent side of the Great Empress.
After spending half a month on the carriage, Mingyan’s group returned to the Eastern Continent.
The large teleportation gates were still unusable. The damage to the spatial laws was more serious than imagined, so it had not been repaired yet.
No one knew the reason for the damage to the spatial laws, but after experiencing the inconvenience of the short-distance teleportation arrays, many people were already missing the large teleportation gates.
The closest place to the border of the Eastern and Southern Continents was naturally the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sacred Land. Mingyan wanted to go back first, to send his senior sister off, and also to tell his master about his gains.
The carriage soon arrived at the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sacred Land. After returning to the sacred mountain, the group left the carriage and saw the Supreme Elder, Yue Qingyou, there.
“Elder Qingyou,” Huang Junyi clearly knew Yue Qingyou, and bowed slightly. Yue Qingyou nodded with a light laugh, looked at Mingyan and Yue Qingying, “Mingyan, Qingying, your master has gone out. She has asked me to temporarily supervise Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. If you have anything you want to say to her, you can tell me first, or you can tell her after she comes back.”
“Master has gone out?” Yue Qingying was a little surprised. “Does the Supreme Elder know where Master has gone?”
“That I don’t know. Your master has always been mysterious, but her strength is heaven-reaching. You don’t need to worry about her at all,” Yue Qingyou chuckled lightly. “By the way, Mingyan, that girl Mengli has been talking about you every day, wanting to see you. But you weren’t here when she was free a while ago. Now she has gone out to train, and you’re back. Are you planning to stay at Wind Spirit Moon Shadow after this?”
“I still have to go out. Please tell Mengli for me, Supreme Elder,” Mingyan shook his head. He thought about his master’s whereabouts and had a guess. Could she have gone to Yaochi Sacred Land?
Before, Mingyan had told Yue Wu Xia that his sister, Wang Qingchu, wanted to see her. Could it be that after leaving the sacred mountain, his master had gone to Yaochi?
Mingyan had originally planned to set off directly after this, to send Huang Feiyan back first, and then to investigate the Ning family. But now it seemed he could change his plan and go to Yaochi first.
Mingyan wanted to see Wang Qingchu and talk to her about the matter of the Great Empress and Feng Shiyi. He didn’t know if the Great Empress knew about his sister’s situation…
“Are you still going out?” Yue Qingying looked at Mingyan upon hearing this, paused for a moment, and then said, “Then I’ll go with you.”
“You should rest well in the Sacred Land, Senior Sister,” Mingyan shook his head. He… also needed to think carefully about his relationship with her. So, whether it was his senior sister or Feiyan, he didn’t plan to take them with him.
Moreover, now that he knew his senior sister’s feelings for him… and on Feiyan’s side, although they had never talked about this matter, Mingyan vaguely had some guesses. Feiyan probably also had some good feelings for him. And this time, he was doing things for Ning Feixuan. To take his senior sister and Feiyan to do things for the person he liked… it felt very excessive.
For various reasons, Mingyan had long made up his mind. This time, he would only take the Temptress Sister with him.
Although the Temptress Sister was a bit of a temptress, she had only kissed his cheek. She probably wouldn’t do anything to him.
Yue Qingying was silent for a while, then nodded lightly. “Since you want me to stay in the Sacred Land, then I will stay.”
These words made Mingyan’s heart tremble. He felt that there was some loneliness in her tone. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
Yue Qingyou seemed to have seen something. She narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly. “Are you planning to find your master, Mingyan?”
“I just have some things to do,” Mingyan shook his head. He also didn’t know if his master was at Yaochi Sacred Land. “Senior Sister, then we won’t stay long.”
Yue Qingying nodded, and the group left the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sacred Land.
On the immortal island, Yue Qingying watched the distant carriage, her beautiful hair dancing in the wind. She slowly lowered her head.
“Why so down? If you want to be with your junior brother, why did you agree?” Yue Qingyou walked to Yue Qingying’s side and smiled lightly.
Yue Qingying’s name was given by Yue Qingyou, so they were very similar. One was called Yue Qingying, the other Yue Qingyou.
“Because if I insist on going, he will be in a difficult position,” Yue Qingying sighed.
“You really like your junior brother… you always think of him, but he hasn’t thought of you. He clearly knows you want to go, but he turns a blind eye,” Yue Qingyou’s smile did not fade. “Your junior brother seems to be unworthy of your feelings for him.”
Yue Qingying looked at Yue Qingyou and smiled. “The Supreme Elder doesn’t understand my junior brother.”
“Yes, I’ve only seen him a few times. His cultivation talent is very impressive, but I don’t know his personality,” Yue Qingyou nodded lightly.
“After he comes back next time, you can get to know him better, Supreme Elder,” Yue Qingying smiled.
“Is that so…” Yue Qingyou shook her head with a light laugh. “Then we’ll have to wait until he comes back.”
“Where are you planning to go?” Huang Feiyan was a little excited. Mingyan sent Yue Qingying back to Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. Then, on this journey, wouldn’t it be just him and me?
Although there was still Feng Shiyi and her second aunt, her second aunt shouldn’t be bothering her and Mingyan. As for Feng Shiyi, she was optional. Anyway, the Empress also supported them being together, right? Although I don’t know the reason.
“First, I’ll go to the Huang family and send you back,” Mingyan said. “After that, I plan to go to Yaochi Sacred Land.”
Hearing the first part of his words, Huang Feiyan’s expression immediately fell. But when she heard the latter part, she couldn’t help but feel excited. He’s going to deal with the matter of Ning Feixuan. He probably also knows that the result might not be good, so he doesn’t want to take me with him, right?
Huang Feiyan nodded. “Alright then…”
Huang Junyi, who was eavesdropping in the room, was surprised to hear Huang Feiyan so cooperative. Then she sighed deeply. It really is like trying to prop up mud against a wall. Although I didn’t want Huang Feiyan to follow, for her to just give up like this, without even putting up a fight, is really…
Isn’t this a great opportunity? At least from Huang Feiyan’s perspective, this is a good opportunity to get closer or even enter into a relationship. And she just gave up like this? She didn’t even plan to resist a little?
…Indeed, I have to do it myself.
A few days later, Mingyan sent Huang Feiyan back to the Huang family. He also personally gave the fruits to Huang Junru and Huang Qingfei, and then set off for Yaochi.
Of course, when Huang Feiyan knew that Huang Junyi would be acting together with Mingyan, her expression was very colorful, but in the end, she still didn’t say anything…
After all, it seemed useless to say anything. She knew it was probably Mingyan who wanted Huang Junyi to go with him…
On the way, Mingyan tried to contact his master with the concentric pendant, but it was still useless.
A few days later, the carriage arrived at Yaochi Sacred Land.
Mingyan brought Huang Junyi and Feng Shiyi and walked into the Sacred Land.
Mingyan was a familiar face, having been here many times. Many of the female cultivators inside knew that he had an unclear relationship with Yaochi and were not surprised by this.
Not long after the group entered Yaochi, Ning Mengru appeared. She looked at Feng Shiyi, who was clutching Mingyan’s robe and refusing to let go, and a strange expression appeared on Ning Mengru’s usually gentle and noble face…
As if noticing that Ning Mengru was staring at her, or perhaps because Feng Shiyi felt a sense of affinity from Ning Mengru, Feng Shiyi blinked and then carefully raised her hand and waved. “I… I’m Feng Shiyi…”
Ning Mengru was silent for a moment, then nodded. “I am Ning Mengru, the Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi Sacred Land… Welcome to Yaochi Sacred Land.”
With that, Ning Mengru turned to Mingyan. Obviously, she had very likely seen the true face of Great Empress Qingzi before, so when she saw Feng Shiyi, she was immediately shaken and looked at Mingyan for a reasonable explanation.
“Ahem… It’s a long story about Feng Shiyi. By the way, Aunt Ning, is my master at Yaochi Sacred Land?”
“Your master? She did come here once before, but she has already left,” Ning Mengru said. She looked at Huang Junyi behind Mingyan and chuckled lightly. “Sister Junyi is here too.”
Huang Junyi smiled and nodded. In front of others, Huang Junyi was very dignified. Only in front of Mingyan did she act like a temptress.
Hearing that his master had already left, Mingyan frowned and sighed softly. It seemed he had missed her… Then he could only see her after returning from the Ning family.
Mingyan took out an immortal fruit from his Qi Sea world and handed it to Ning Mengru. “Aunt Ning, this is an immortal fruit from the Panlong Ancient Tree that I encountered in the sea outside the Southern Continent. I have visited many times but have never given you any gifts. I’m very sorry.”
“An immortal fruit from the Panlong Ancient Tree?” Ning Mengru looked at the blood-red fruit in Mingyan’s hand, a little surprised. “You’ve encountered the Panlong Ancient Tree?”
“Yes,” Mingyan nodded. “I want to give this fruit to you, Aunt Ning.”
“I can’t accept this. An immortal fruit is extremely precious,” Ning Mengru politely refused. From this, one could see the difference between her and the Huang Family. The Huang Family was extremely good to him, so no matter what he gave them, they wouldn’t be polite, because they would remember his kindness. But Ning Mengru was still a little polite.
After all, his relationship with Yaochi was not as close as with the Huang Family. If his sister wasn’t at Yaochi, his relationship with Yaochi probably wouldn’t be particularly close, right?
Yaochi was on good terms with all forces, which naturally meant that they would not be too close to any one force and needed to maintain a distance.
But even so, Mingyan had not forgotten that Yaochi had once taken the initiative to invite him to see Wang Qingchu and to help him obtain her inheritance. This was also a kindness.
“Please accept it, Aunt Ning. This is a gift I’m giving you in my personal capacity,” Mingyan did not take it back and said softly. “You have also taken good care of me. Please give me a chance to repay you.”
Before Ning Mengru could speak, she heard Wang Qingchu’s mental message. “Accept it. This is also Yan’er’s kind intention.”
Hearing this, Ning Mengru smiled helplessly and finally accepted it. “I really can’t refuse you. I, an elder, am being given a gift by a junior…”
“What’s there to be polite about? This is what he should do,” Huang Junyi said with a giggle.
“What he should do…” Ning Mengru smiled sweetly and sent a mental message to Mingyan. “You must want to see your sister. Go ahead. She should be waiting for you too.”
Mingyan nodded.
