"Huh?"
"Master, did you fight him?!"
Ji Yuan keenly grasped the key point of the conversation.
Lying on a soft chair, Hua Yaoyue casually replied, "He’s an experienced Nascent Soul True Monarch. I just recently ford my Nascent Soul, so how could I possibly beat him?"
"Anyway, as long as you say this, he’ll let you off."
Obviously, Hua Yaoyue didn’t want to dwell on this topic. Ji Yuan felt it inappropriate to press further, so he nodded in agreent, then excitedly asked about sothing else.
"Master, you ford your Nascent Soul! You... you’re a Nascent Soul Patriarch as well!"
When Ji Yuan said this, his eyes were glowing.
Nascent Soul... that’s the kind of existence that can uphold an Immortal Sect.
In the entire Cangluo Continent, one could practically walk sideways with that kind of power.
Ji Yuan couldn’t help but recall what Jiang Hong once said. He suspected that Ji Yuan was a disciple of a Nascent Soul, and Ji Yuan had internally denied it at the ti. Who would’ve thought that upon returning, it turned out to be true!
"What do you call this, as you often say?"
Perhaps due to her successful Nascent Soul Formation, Hua Yaoyue seed a lot happier, even more talkative.
"This is called ’luck, just luck’."
"No... it’s the disciple who’s rely lucky, but for the Master, it’s a justified and natural progression."
Beautiful words flowed effortlessly from Ji Yuan’s mouth.
"Alright, forming a Nascent Soul is hardly a big deal."
After Hua Yaoyue said this, the joy in her eyes faded away, returning to her usual calm deanor.
If these words ca from soone else, Ji Yuan might think they were showing off.
But since they ca from Hua Yaoyue, Ji Yuan felt... she was genuine. Forming a Nascent Soul really was nothing remarkable for her.
First, in her past life, she might have achieved an even higher cultivation level.
Second, forming a Nascent Soul was inevitable for her, just a matter of ti.
"Master is formidable."
"Alright, as long as you know about this, don’t tell your second senior brother and third senior sister."
"Huh?"
Ji Yuan was sowhat puzzled. They, as master and disciple, already had quite a few secrets, all kept from Yun Qianzai and Phoenix Peach.
But why... even this had to be kept secret?
Shouldn’t a breakthrough in cultivation be a joyful event, and they probably could’ve guessed that Hua Yaoyue was about to advance to Nascent Soul?
"You know what your second senior brother’s nature is like. If he finds out I’ve ford a Nascent Soul, he’ll probably swagger all around the Water Dragon Sect."
Hua Yaoyue explained:
"Your third senior sister is not particularly focused on cultivation. If she finds out I’ve ford a Nascent Soul, she might have even less motivation."
"Yes, the disciple will keep it in mind."
Ji Yuan slightly cupped his hands, then rembered sothing and asked softly, "Master, do you know who I t during this trip?"
"Oh? Didn’t you et your Senior Sister Dong?"
Hua Yaoyue said, half smiling.
"Huh?"
Ji Yuan looked up sharply, eyes filled with astonishnt.
It seems Hua Yaoyue also realized she had slipped, her eyes glanced sideways. "Didn’t you just run into the i Manor, who else could it be?"
Although doubtful in his heart, seeing Hua Yaoyue’s expression, Ji Yuan knew that there was no point in asking further, so he turned to say, "I ran into Senior Brother."
"Huh? You t him?"
Hua Yaoyue’s expression changed imdiately, even sitting up slightly, "Where did you et him?"
"In Lanshan City."
There was no need for Hua Yaoyue to ask further, Ji Yuan recounted the whole story in detail, as it didn’t involve any of his private matters, he didn’t conceal anything.
He even ntioned having t Isle Master Qinghe.
After Hua Yaoyue listened quietly, her brows furrowed, and there was a hint of displeasure in her voice, "Didn’t I already tell him to stop investigating this matter, truly didn’t take my words seriously at all."
Ji Yuan quickly added, "Senior Brother said once he’s done with matters over at Lanshan City, he’ll co back to see you."
"Hmph, like I need him to visit."
After saying this, Hua Yaoyue lay back down.
Ji Yuan hadn’t anticipated that ntioning Ran Kui would anger Hua Yaoyue so much, leaving him unsure of what to do, so... he sent a ssage to Phoenix Peach.
He told her he was back, on Wang You Island.
At this point, only Phoenix Peach coming over could resolve the matter.
Because she knew how to charm... and although Ji Yuan could too, it wouldn’t be appropriate to cling to Hua Yaoyue’s arm and act coquettishly.
Since Phoenix Peach’s Fire Phoenix Island was right next to Wang You Island, it only took her a few breaths’ ti to arrive outside Wang You Island, excitedly calling "Master."
She arrived in a flurry.
"Little Junior Brother, you’re finally back, it’s been a year. If you didn’t return soon, I’d have had to search for you," Phoenix Peach said excitedly with a hint of complaint.
"I ran into Senior Brother."
Just one sentence from Ji Yuan made Phoenix Peach suddenly realize. Her gaze darted between the two, and quickly she squatted down behind Hua Yaoyue, gently massaging her shoulders.
"Oh, Master, you know Senior Brother’s temper. Why bother getting upset with him? It’s better if he doesn’t co back. Hmph. If he returns, he’ll just discipline us and make us cultivate every day."
As she said this, Phoenix Peach kept an eye on Hua Yaoyue’s expression for any changes.
But unfortunately... she didn’t notice anything, so she changed her approach.
"But it’s also good if he’s back. Once he’s back, I can complain about Second Senior Brother bullying , and he’ll deal with Second Senior Brother to vent for ."
"Senior Brother isn’t like you, Master. Hmph, he never helps ."
"When was it not you voluntarily presenting yourself to be bullied?" Hua Yaoyue glared at her.
