Chapter 148: Aunt Yue
Mingyan spent another ten days at the Huang family, with no plans to return to Wind Spirit Moon Shadow for the time being.
Although the large teleportation gates had still not been restored, with an existence like Wang Qingchu by his side, although the Yao Guang star was large, there was no place she couldn’t go… even the nine great Forbidden Zones, Wang Qingchu could enter. Of course, it was impossible to bring Mingyan in. Before he had touched the Great Dao realm, to enter a Forbidden Zone would cause irreversible damage to his own Dao rules. Even a person who might have been able to attain the Dao and become an Emperor would lose the possibility of becoming one because of this.
To really want to return to Wind Spirit Moon Shadow was just a matter of holding Wang Qingchu’s hand. With a single thought from her, he would be back. So at this moment, where he was was not important at all.
Wang Qingchu did not let Mingyan stay by her side for too long. She knew that the current Mingyan was in a hurry to improve his strength. So, every day, she only took up a small part of his time.
A cultivator did not need to sleep or rest, so the twelve hours were still quite sufficient, enough for Mingyan to dual cultivate for two or three rounds.
But it was on this day that the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow side had sent someone over to inform Mingyan about Jade Peony’s visit.
Mingyan was a little surprised. Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he had seen Jade Peony. The last time, after he had obtained one of the three keys from her and had awakened his sister, several months had already passed.
Could it be that she was here to urge him to resolve the matter between her and Gu Hanshuang?
Thinking of this, Mingyan was a little ashamed. During this time, he had been so happy as to forget home and duty, and had not thought about those things at all…
Mingyan thought for a moment and did not notify anyone else. He directly found Wang Qingchu and asked her to take him back to Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. Wang Qingchu naturally did not refuse and took him back, directly appearing on the immortal island.
Mingyan also didn’t let Wang Qingchu accompany him and went down the mountain alone. He hadn’t walked two steps before he met the Supreme Elder, Yue Qingyou.
“Supreme Elder,” after seeing Yue Qingyou, Mingyan stopped and bowed.
Yue Qingyou’s posture was elegant. After seeing Mingyan, her expression was gentle, and her every move carried a celestial aura. “Yan’er… it seems your strength has improved a lot. At that time, when Wu Xia took you in, she really didn’t make a mistake.”
Yue Qingyou did not ask Mingyan why he had come back so quickly. As for Wang Qingchu’s matter, Yue Wu Xia had told her. And before, when Wang Qingchu had awakened, Yue Qingyou had naturally also felt it.
She lamented in her heart. Yue Wu Xia had really brought a good connection to Wind Spirit Moon Shadow… even if it was for Mingyan’s sake, Wang Qingchu would not sit by and do nothing for them.
Mingyan smiled. “Supreme Elder, I heard that Jade Peony is at the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sacred Land?”
“That’s right. She’s here to find you,” Yue Qingyou came back to her senses and smiled slightly. “She is still at the Moon Shadow Branch. I have already sent a mental message to inform her that you are back.”
“Thank you, Supreme Elder,” Mingyan bowed again. Yue Qingyou waved her hand and smiled. “There’s no need to be so polite with me, like an outsider. Whether it’s my relationship with Wu Xia, or with Mengli, we can’t be considered outsiders, right?”
Mingyan smiled and nodded. Only then did Yue Qingyou nod and smile. “But your strength has improved so quickly. Your junior sister will probably be disappointed when she knows.”
“Hmm?” Mingyan raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean, Supreme Elder?”
“One ‘Supreme Elder’ after another. Don’t you think it’s too long? You can just call me Aunt Yue,” Yue Qingyou smiled slightly.
“…How can I do that? You are my Master’s grand-aunt…” Before Mingyan could finish his sentence, Yue Qingyou interrupted him. “I am still your little junior sister’s master. Besides…”
Besides…?
Yue Qingyou’s gaze looked over, a half-smile on her face. “In short, just call me Aunt Yue.”
Yue Qingyou did not say what that ‘besides’ was. Mingyan blinked. Could it be that Yue Qingyou knew his thoughts about his Master?
“…Then in the future, I will call you Aunt Yue,” Mingyan thought for a moment and also nodded. “As for what you just said about my junior sister being disappointed, what are you referring to?”
“Your junior sister still wants to shorten the gap between you and her. And then after she sees you, she wants to give you a surprise. Her cultivation has improved very quickly, and she has the style of you when you had just joined Wind Spirit Moon Shadow,” Yue Qingyou smiled.
“Is that so…” after hearing this, Mingyan thought for a moment of Liu Mengli’s serious look and smiled. He had not seen his junior sister for a long time either. Before, when he had gone to find Yue Qingyou, his junior sister had not shown herself. It seemed that she was deliberately hiding from him. He had thought that his junior sister had grown up and was not as close as before. It turned out that this was the reason…
“I will go and see my junior sister later,” Mingyan thought for a moment and said. Although it seemed a little unrealistic for his junior sister to want to further shorten the gap between them, she was working so hard. He should also encourage her.
Just as Mingyan finished speaking, he noticed a figure appear at the foot of the mountain.
Yue Qingyou nodded. “Jade Peony’s here. Then you two can chat first. I’ll go back to the Moon Shadow Branch first.”
“Yes,” Mingyan nodded. “Take care, Aunt Yue.”
Yue Qingyou smiled, turned, and left.
And that figure was naturally Jade Peony. Seeing Yue Qingyou leave, she quickened her pace and came to Mingyan. “Young Master Ming, long time no see.”
“Yes, long time no see. You are still as graceful as ever, Celestial Jade,” Mingyan nodded. “I heard from them that you are here to find me?”
Jade Peony’s figure was light and graceful. As she walked, she was like a fresh flower, gently swaying. To watch her walk was like watching a dance, an enjoyment. This flower-like beauty, even though he had seen her many times, her amazing charm could still move Mingyan a little.
“Of course,” Jade Peony’s smile was sweet, but a hint of solemnity flashed in her eyes, because she could no longer feel Mingyan’s cultivation.
There were only two possibilities for this situation. The first was that Mingyan’s cultivation had already surpassed hers. The second was that he had become a cripple without any cultivation. The latter was almost impossible. Then it could only be the former…
Jade Peony’s heart was extremely surprised. You know, her cultivation had been stuck at the peak of the Divine Gate Realm for a long time. And when she had first met Mingyan, he was only at the Qi Sea Realm. Now he had already surpassed her… at least he was already at the Taiyi cultivation level…
Perhaps during this period, Mingyan had not had much of a real feeling about his cultivation breakthrough. After all, besides his sister’s great improvement that one time, before, it had all been from slow cultivation. But now, with dual cultivation, his cultivation had improved while he was enjoying himself. He really didn’t have much of a real feeling. But to Jade Peony, who had been stuck at the Divine Gate Realm for a long time, to be directly surpassed by a latecomer still made her feel a little depressed…
