Chapter 176: Yue Wu Xia’s Entanglement
Hearing this, Huang Feiyan’s gaze at An Ran was a little complicated.
Huang Feiyan had been involved in An Ran’s matter from beginning to end, so she was relatively clear about An Ran’s feelings for Mingyan.
In such a dark life, living was perhaps just waiting for death. And then Mingyan had appeared and saved her from the edge of the cliff…
Huang Feiyan had also been saved by Mingyan; some things could be considered common ground. Although this kind of thing was cliché, it was also the easiest way to develop a good impression.
To like someone was something others had no right to define. And Huang Feiyan could also see that An Ran was not the kind of person who would be easily shaken.
“I believe that my current cultivation should be able to help Young Master Ming,” seeing that Huang Feiyan was silent, An Ran couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Huang Feiyan looked up and said, “Actually, the current situation is quite special… Mingyan doesn’t really need to compete with those so-called geniuses anymore.”
The greatest opportunity was right by his side. He could improve his cultivation at a rapid pace without even leaving his home. Why would he need to fight with those with low cultivation for any opportunity?
Of course, the fundamental reason was not because Wang Qingchu had revived. Although Wang Qingchu had awakened, if Mingyan was not willing, she would not participate in those competitions. It was because Mingyan’s current cultivation method was already completely different from traditional cultivation; this was the reason he didn’t need to participate in these competitions.
“Is that so… I haven’t heard much news about Young Master Ming recently. I originally thought he was being low-key, but now it seems I was wrong?” Hearing this, An Ran paused for a moment, but then she smiled. “No matter what, let’s see Young Master Ming first. Are you willing to take me to see him, Miss Huang?”
“A guest is a guest. Although on Mingyan’s matter, I have some opinions about you…” Huang Feiyan shrugged. She couldn’t very well drive An Ran out, could she? Besides, the current An Ran was still the Great Empress’s only personal disciple.
“Thank you, Miss Huang,” An Ran’s smile grew richer upon hearing this.
Huang Feiyan narrowed her eyes and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. Mingyan is good at everything, but there are too many women around him. And not only are there many, but each of them is a charming and beautiful great beauty. I can’t pull away from them at all.
Huang Feiyan gradually felt that she was a little unable to stand alone…
…
When Huang Feiyan brought An Ran to the courtyard where the three of them—master and disciples—lived, she did not find Mingyan in his room. She hesitated for a moment and subconsciously looked at Yue Qingying’s room.
Mingyan was probably with Yue Qingying… if it were before, she could still run to catch them in the act. But now…
Yue Qingying had already had a showdown with her. What adultery could she catch?
Besides, Mingyan might not necessarily be there… a formation had been set up in the courtyard. Huang Feiyan could not directly see the situation inside through her divine sense.
“Miss Huang?” An Ran, who was following Huang Feiyan, saw her suddenly stop and look at the room in the distance. She couldn’t help but ask with some curiosity, “Is Young Master Ming over there?”
Huang Feiyan came back to her senses, thought for a moment, and then shook her head, taking An Ran towards Yue Wu Xia’s room.
Yue Wu Xia knew the two of them had come. Before Huang Feiyan could speak, she directly let them in.
Wang Qingchu was also here. After seeing the two of them, she smiled slightly.
“Sister… Aunt Yue,” Huang Feiyan bowed slightly. And An Ran naturally did not stand there stunned; she also followed and bowed. But after she saw Wang Qingchu, her heart was in a state of shock.
She had also been to Yaochi before and had been a disciple there for a period of time. She had naturally seen the holy statues of Xi Wangmu and this most prestigious Queen Mother of the West, Wang Qingchu. So from the first time she had seen her, she had recognized this existence…
But… why was she here?! Shouldn’t she have passed away long ago? This was a figure from hundreds of thousands of years ago…
An Ran suddenly remembered that before, Huang Feiyan had said that Mingyan was in a “special situation.” Could it be that she was referring to this?
“You don’t need to guess too much. I am Wang Qingchu,” Wang Qingchu seemed to have seen An Ran’s thoughts and chuckled lightly.
“…Junior has seen you, Senior…!” An Ran knelt on one knee. She had once entered Yaochi and had learned the Yaochi heart method. Yaochi had also been kind to her.
“There’s no need for this,” Wang Qingchu smiled slightly. “I noticed you a long time ago. Yan’er has also mentioned you to me. Although I am your senior in terms of seniority, I am also Yan’er’s sister.”
No wonder Huang Feiyan called her sister… so there was such a relationship…? An Ran knew that Huang Feiyan and Mingyan were actually already engaged… Huang Feiyan was now Mingyan’s official fiancée.
“Yan’er has some things he needs to deal with now. Why don’t you go and see Mengru and Ning Feixuan first? They are also at the Huang family,” Wang Qingchu chuckled lightly.
Busy? Huang Feiyan bit her cherry lips. Then he must be with Qingying…
Even though she had thought a lot these few days, now that it was really as she had guessed—that the two of them were probably doing some… things at this moment—it still made Huang Feiyan’s heart feel a piercing pain like being pricked by a needle.
An Ran nodded lightly, bowed again, and then temporarily left to see Ning Mengru and the others. And Huang Feiyan was silent for a while and also left.
Yue Wu Xia said, “An Ran’s cultivation has improved really fast…”
“No matter how fast, it can’t compare to Yan’er. Besides, for her cultivation to improve so quickly is also a good thing for him,” Wang Qingchu smiled slightly. “These women around him, the higher their cultivation, the better. Because this also means that he can break through faster.”
Yue Wu Xia was silent. She did not express any opinion on this. She also knew that since dual cultivation was of great benefit to both parties, she should not stop these things. But she, after all, towards that rebellious disciple…
But, so what if her heart was dissatisfied? She couldn’t stop it. Out of sight, out of mind.
Yue Wu Xia sighed softly, thought of Yue Qingyou’s matter, and her heart couldn’t help but fill with more worries…
In fact, it wasn’t that there was no way… it was just, did she really have to do this?
On one hand, she was unwilling to let Mingyan have any more people around him. And on the other hand, it was her respected elder…
Yue Wu Xia was a little tired. In fact, she already had an answer in her heart. But for her to personally say it to Mingyan, to say it to Yue Qingyou, was impossible. She could accept this kind of thing, but it didn’t mean she could work to be a go-between for the two of them…
Mingyan already had many women; this was already a foregone conclusion. But this did not mean that Yue Wu Xia would take the initiative to be a matchmaker for Mingyan and other women…
Wang Qingchu turned her head to look at Yue Wu Xia, the corners of her lips curving into a faint and elusive smile, not knowing what she was thinking.
