Night, Sui Bian Temple, outside the hall.
Xu Zhimo hooked his arm around the dog-tired Yun Ming, a wide smile on his face. This brat finally understands the difficulties of being in charge, huh?
"Come, come, tell me in detail how Qing Xuan is uncomfortable. I seem to remember—"
"She was full of energy this morning, so why is she uncomfortable as soon as you arrive? Did you make her angry?"
"That shouldn't be right. With Qing Xuan's personality, even if she's angry, she wouldn't delay important matters. What did you two do?"
Yun Ming fell silent.
The air was filled with a meaning only adults could understand. The courtyard's clear puddles reflected the bright moon.
But at this moment, even the bright moon was shyly hiding behind the clouds.
"Just… Ugh! Don't ask."
"Anyway, even if Senior Sister isn't here, I'll handle it. Why are you bothering with us two? You can't even take care of yourself…"
Yun Ming didn't elaborate, just thinking about it made him blush again.
Cultivators' vital energy is still too strong! After this rain, the weather isn't exactly cool… The smile on Xu Zhimo's face slowly faded.
He had been excitedly wagging his tail, but now it gradually drooped, and his pupils were filled with shock.
His large hand gripped Yun Ming's shoulder tightly, and he almost instinctively cursed, "*&! You beast…"
No one was in the temple that afternoon.
No one saw these two come out, but when asked about Senior Qing Yi, she gave a meaningful look.
The situation was very clear!
"Stop, it's not what you're thinking!"
"Didn't do anything!"
Didn't do anything? And yet Qing Xuan can't move… Unimaginable.
Now it was Xu Zhimo's turn to be silent. As a grown man, he wasn't suitable for discussing what his Junior Sister and Yun Ming had actually done.
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, think no evil.
"Alright, alright… You don't need to tell me if you did or didn't, but next time, don't delay her important business, and also… don't do it in the temple…"
"What if Hong Dou comes, right? You know."
"I already said no, Xu Zhimo!"
Xu Zhimo didn't respond, feeling a bit emotional inside. His Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters were finally growing up.
They had planned to enter the Void tomorrow.
But it's better to postpone it for a day and let those two have their sweet time. This is all I, your Senior Brother, can do.
He changed the subject and asked.
"Where's that girl Nicole?"
"…Hong Dou took her. She seems very interested in business, but she'll probably be back soon."
Nicole was still very attached to Yun Ming.
If he didn't sleep with her, she wouldn't sleep, staying awake until dawn, waiting for Yun Ming to pick her up. She had some psychological issues.
However, they could only take it slowly.
"You're doing well, taking one each, right? Not favoring anyone, sigh… You're so good at picking up children; pick one up for me too, for Wind Chime… so she doesn't bother me every day."
"So, you two?"
"I don't even dare to sleep, afraid that when I wake up, she'll already be naked and embracing me…"
"Oh, then Sister Feng Ling is very strong! Didn't she drug you? You're always hanging out at the Hollow Investigation Association; she must be jealous."
Xu Zhimo didn't answer, slapping Yun Ming on the back with a loud 'pah,' and laughed heartily, "How can one enter prosperity with a life of poverty? How can one mislead a beauty with two sleeves of fresh air, Junior Brother!"
"You're plagiarizing my wisdom again."
"What's yours and what's mine? Why do we, two brothers, talk about such things? Haha, I'm leaving. Remember to prepare… We have a tough battle ahead."
Xu Zhimo stood up and patted his backside.
A long spear danced in his hands, then he tossed it high and caught it steadily, looking incredibly cool.
Yun Kui Mountain used swords.
And he used a spear; the spear was a family tradition.
This spear was also passed down from the previous Senior Apprentice, who was reportedly his much older brother.
Yun Ming had no impression.
When he arrived, the Senior Apprentice was already very experienced.
At that time, there were many, many Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, so Yun Ming and Ke Ke always received a lot of care. Those days of getting a little bit here and a little bit there were also very happy.
The children were carefree.
They simply read and practiced martial arts every day, watching the mountain turn green then white, white then green, and in the blink of an eye, several years had passed.
But it was also then that the Lemnian Hollow became unusually active, and the Public Security Bureau and Defense Force even stationed themselves nearby.
Every time there was a disturbance from the Void, stretching for a hundred miles in the distance, someone from Yun Kui Mountain would follow their Master down the mountain to suppress the disaster.
When they went down the mountain, there were many people.
When they returned, those guys were bandaged up, grinning, some even carried back up the mountain.
Their smiles never faded, for how could they show a sad face to their Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters? Yun Ming now largely understood this feeling.
Familiar figures around him, one by one, diminished.
Yet, the spiritual banners in the main hall continued to increase, each bearing a name, like some kind of destiny.
They all said that when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up.
Those tall ones always liked to tell Yun Ming, "Don't worry, Little Junior Brother, when your divine power is perfected, you'll suppress the Lemnian with one hand… Then our Yun Kui Mountain will be peaceful."
"So, don't rush."
And so, the tall bastards all left one by one, and the burden fell on Xu Zhimo's shoulders. "He also always said, 'Don't rush, Senior Brother is here.'"
But sometimes Yun Ming didn't want a Senior Apprentice.
Being the Senior Apprentice of Yun Kui Mountain was a high-risk profession!
If there had to be one, then he would be it. So, you damn Xu Zhimo, stop being so literary!
The young man stood up, his sword drawn, erupting with monstrous power.
"Senior Brother—"
Xu Zhimo turned in surprise, almost thinking this guy had been taken in by his act and was coming to fight him, but he only heard the other say.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die!"
"Who are you cursing? Of course I won't die."
The Senior Apprentice appeared unmoved, but inside he was crying to death. He, he, he, he, he was simply, I, I, I… (Moved JPG).
But Yun Ming immediately shouted loudly.
"You son of a bitch, you owe me so much money! Hurry up and marry Senior Sister Wind Chime, then work to pay me back!!!"
"Damn it, give me back my move (moved feeling)—"
…"Who's making noise…"
Ye Qingxuan woke up in a daze, curled up in bed with nothing on, tears still in the corners of her eyes.
However, it was neither sadness nor anger.
Her body was covered in a strong scent, and her face flushed as she quickly got up, but a small figure was lying beside her.
Bright pink twin ponytails, cunning orange-yellow eyes.
"You are… Nicole?"
"Hello, Sister. I am Brother's Apprentice. Is Sister Brother's lover?"
"…"
Ye Qingxuan was speechless for a moment, unsure how to explain.
"I am your Master's Senior Sister, but you can call me Sister or Senior Sister, either is fine."
"So, is Sister Master's lover?"
Nicole sat up, tilting her head, her eyes innocent, but her mouth said something not so… "Just now, Sister kept shouting 'Yun'er no, not there.' Did Brother do something bad to Sister?"
"You, you heard all that? I actually said such things, sigh…"
The woman's face was already flushed, and now it was even hotter.
She rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache, but her gaze finally rested on the child in front of her. She knew Yun'er's relationship with Hong Dou, right?
How was she supposed to explain this?
"It's okay, Sister doesn't need to answer Nicole. Nicole understands."
Ye Qingxuan was stunned.
What is it that you understand?
Nicole whispered to herself, "Master is such a playboy, but… being a playboy is good~"
