The conversation in the room did not last too long. Ye Anping was the only one talking almost the whole time, while Ye Ao and the others nodded and responded from time to time to show that they understood.
When the talk was over, the people walked down the boat together.
"Father, the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect has expanded quite a lot in recent years due to the ***Black Star*** Sect's help, and there are not many Elders around. Senior Tong and Sister Ye are both *Core Formation* stage cultivators, and they are more than qualified to be Elders of our sect."
"Ah... alright, I understand."
Ye Anping cupped his hands in salute, then summoned the flying sword and flew toward the **Eastern Peak** of the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect.Ye Ao watched his son leave, a trace of confusion showing in his eyes.
Four years ago, he never thought that his son could become so capable and, relying on his own strength, could turn the originally poor and shabby ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect into a rising star in the **Western Region**.
***Black Star*** Sect, ***Dragon House***, ***Moon Shadow Sword*** Sect... These powerhouses that Ye Ao had always thought were unapproachable, came one after another after his son's involvement and took the initiative to establish friendly cooperative relations with his small ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect.
Although it was said that raising a son was a way to prepare for old age, Ye Ao used to think this was nonsense, but now he felt that he could hand over the position of the sect leader to Ye Anping.
"Hehe..."
Ye Ao stroked his beard and turned his head to look at Huang Shanhu, whose face was now livid. "Old Huang, hey, this son of mine is pretty capable, right?"
Huang Shanhu was now very frustrated. He had always used his son to show off his superiority to Ye Ao, and he didn't think Ye Anping was as capable as Ye Ao said.However, now he felt like his face was slapped and it hurt, but he couldn't say anything.
After that, Ye Ao ignored him and greeted Tong Zilan and Ye Waner again, then invited them to the *Heavenly Pavilion* to discuss the details of appointing them as Elders of the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect.
...
When they finished talking things out, it was already dusk.
The peaks of the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect turned golden, and the view from a high place was breathtaking.
When Tong Zilan came out of the *Heavenly Pavilion*, she found Liang Zhu and Hong Yu, who had changed into the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect uniform and were waiting in front of the *Heavenly Pavilion* steps.
Seeing them, Tong Zilan quickened her pace down the stairs, patted Hongyu's shoulder, and greeted her. "Hongyu, these clothes suit you very well."
Hongyu hesitated for a while as if she was trying to come to terms with it, then took a step back and cupped her hands. "Greetings Elder Tong."
"Well, there's no need to be polite."
Tong Zilan smiled faintly before turning to watch the sunset view of the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect, and she couldn't help but sigh. "My little Jade lives here. It's just like what Brother Liang said. This is a nice place with clear water and beautiful mountains. Patriarch Ye is also very honest. I think she should be very happy in this sect."
For some reason, Liang Zhu seemed a little embarrassed. He awkwardly smiled and replied, "The ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect is indeed quite good."
"Then, Brother Liang, please take me to see Jade." Tong Zilan's eyes were full of expectation, as she continued happily, "It is often said that the love between mother and daughter is so deep that even if they are separated for more than ten years, they can recognize each other as soon as they meet... I wonder if I can recognize her at a glance. Brother Liang, please take me quickly to see her."
"...Seventh Sister." Liang Zhu hesitatingly started. "How about going in a few days? You just came to the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect, so I'd better take you to see your residence first, and take your ID badge and sect uniforms."
Seeing Liang Zhu so flustered, Tong Zilan slightly tilted her head with a worried look. "What's wrong? Something happened to Jade?"
"...No, she's fine."
"Brother Liang, what exactly happened?"
Liang Zhu really didn't know how to explain as he had always told Tong Zilan that Liang Ating was living well in the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect.
Normally, she did live well.
Until that girl, Pei returned...
Liang Zhu was silent for a while, then sighed. "Seventh Sister, come with me."
Saying that, Liang Zhu summoned his flying sword and took Tong Zilan and Hongyu to the gate of the medical clinic...
...
As the sun set and the moon rose, the silvery white light poured over the **Eastern Peak**, where a newly constructed four-story building was located.
On the top floor of the building, Ye Anping, wearing a white robe, sat at a desk as he looked out the carved wooden window in front of him, and what caught his eye was the sect market with thousands of lights on.
His sister and Xiao Yunluo wandered around the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect all day, and somehow they 'managed' to have Ating admitted into the clinic.
Feng Yu Die slept soundly on the boat all day. When she woke up and found that there was no one on the boat, she hurried to find his sister and Xiao Yunluo.
Because Elder Wang was there, it was not convenient for Si Xuanji to come and flirt with him. She had probably asked Elder Wang to play chess with her somewhere.
He entrusted the matter of Tong Zilan and Ye Waner joining the sect to Liang Zhu and Ye Ao.
Every time he returned to the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect, Ye Anping could relax, just like the feeling of returning home after a day of hard work.
In this small sect, he didn't have to worry about anything bad happening to him or his sister, nor did he have to deal with any demonic cultivators, nor did he have to carry Heaven's destiny.
Here, he wasn't the so-called '*Reverse Star of Heavenly Fate*', but just an ordinary 'cannon fodder' young master.
Now that the matter of the ***Imperial*** Sect had been settled, the game "*Heavenly Sword Fantasy*" had also entered a long period of idleness.
For players, this "long period" lasted three months. Until the next version "*Heavenly Snow of the* **Cold Country**" was updated, all they could do was keep brushing up on the script of the ***Imperial*** Sect and completing the side quests for the **Central Region**.
If you look at the main storyline of the game, this "idle period" lasted for two years.
"Two years... Hey---"
*Knock knock---*
Two knocks on the door interrupted Ye Anping's emotional moment. He straightened up and turned to look at the door.
"Young Master, it's me, Xiaodie."
"Ah... please come in."
*Squeak---*
The door was opened, and Xiaodie entered the room holding several jade slips in her hands. Seeing Ye Anping beside the bed, she hurried over with a smile and placed the jade slips on his desk. "Young Master, these are what Madam Kong asked me to bring you."
Ye Anping was surprised and looked at the carvings on the jade slips.
There were seven jade slips in total, six of which were engraved with the emblem of the ***Moon Shadow Sword*** Sect, and the other one was engraved with the emblem of the ***Dragon House***.
He picked up the jade slip from the ***Dragon House*** and scanned it with his spiritual sense.
*"Dear Young Master Ye: It's been another year, I wonder how are you doing these days? The ***Dragon House*** has now returned to the right track, and although it is not as prosperous as it was in the past, it has recovered quite a bit. I don't know if you have any free time after the New Year, but I would like to come to the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect to visit."*
"..."
Ye Anping put down the jade slip and picked up one from the ***Moon Shadow Sword*** Sect. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and found that it was sent by Yun Xi.
*"Master Ye, why did you disappear without a trace? My sister sent you five letters, but you didn't reply to any of them! She misses you so much that she almost went into depression. Now she's even started drinking! Damn it, if you don't reply to my sister's letter, I'll bring her directly to your ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect, do you believe me?"*
"..."
Ye Anping put down the jade slip sent by Yun Xi with an embarrassed look on his face and then scanned the jade slip sent by Yun Yiyi, which was basically all greetings and well wishes.
Xiaodie saw his embarrassment and covered her laugh. "Master, you are truly loved by everyone."
Ye Anping rolled his eyes at her and asked jokingly, "Do you love me too?"
"Sure," Xiaodie replied, raising her eyebrows. "I still remember that when you were little, you were holding candied haws, with a runny nose and a silly look. How cute you were."
"You are getting bolder and bolder. How dare you say this to your Master?"
"Hee hee--" Xiaodie pursed her lips and snickered. "Young Master, you're not intimidating at all. I am not afraid of you. By the way, there are some sheets for the bed in the room. Young Master, remember to put them on when you sleep with Sister Pei in the future. I don't want to change the sheets and quilts for you every day."
"Hiss---"
"Oops~ Okay, I won't bother you anymore."
Xiaodie nodded with a wicked smile, then ran out of the room and went downstairs.
Ye Anping looked at her helplessly and shook his head. He stared at the jade slips on the table, thought for a while, and then took out two new jade slips from his storage bag and wrote two simple letters to Li Longling and Yun Yiyi.
Tomorrow, after Xiao Yunluo and Feng Yu Die left, he would have to prepare for his and his sister's *Core Formation* stage stabilization.
Seeing that it was already late at night, Ye Anping turned off the spirit stone lamp, walked to the side of the bed, and took off his shoes. Then, he lay down, closing his eyes.
The sense of relaxation after returning to the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect quickly freed him from his tired body and mind, and he fell asleep.
The night was quiet, and cuckoos were calling outside the window.
*Koo-koo...*
*Kow-kow...*
*Creak---*
The sound of wood creaking was heard, and immediately Ye Anping woke up a little.
He opened his eyes in a daze and looked toward the door. Seeing that the door was closed, he remembered that he was in the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect after all, so he didn't think too much and closed his eyes again.
However, not long after, the rustling sound of fabric rang in his ears.
Ye Anping also felt as if someone had climbed up from the foot of the bed and got into his quilt.
?
He was stunned for a moment, then slowly looked down and saw a human-sized bulge under his quilt, then felt a pair of small hands pulling on his waistband.
"Hiss--"
Ye Anping took a sharp breath and immediately pulled the quilt open.
The girl who had slipped under his covers was so surprised that her lavender eyes widened with a hint of panic.
Just now, Xiao Yunluo had her hands on his waistband, curled up on her knees, and when she saw Ye Anping suddenly lifting the quilt, she instantly pulled her hands back, blushing.
"Ah... I..."
"Sister Xiao..." Ye Anping was a little embarrassed and asked weakly, "What are you doing?"
"I...I, I, I..."
Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips, held her breath for a while, then straightened up before taking a deep breath. "The fiancée serves the fiancé, isn't it okay?"
"..."
"Anping... put the quilt on and just lie down. I'm offering to sleep with you, my husband. You must accept it!"
Xiao Yunluo pulled the quilt and covered herself in it.
Taken aback, Ye Anping sighed helplessly and simply sat up, holding her hand to stop her. "Sister Xiao, you are the Young Lady of the ***Black Star*** Sect after all. Do you think this is appropriate?"
Xiao Yunluo thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, it's indeed inappropriate. As an immortal, my rank is much higher than yours. It is not right for me to get into your bed."
"Then..."
"So, you're on top! You serve me!!"
?
Before Ye Anping could react, Xiao Yunluo clamped her calves around his waist and rolled around on the bed with him, turning up and down.
*Plop---*
Ye Anping propped his palms beside her ears, and what he saw was Xiao Yunluo's tender cheeks with a touch of rouge.
Her lavender eyes flickered as she stared at him intently. She slowly hugged his neck, smiling. "Ye Anping, do you know how happy I was when you showed me the *Yin-Yang Pendant* that day?"
"..."
"As a woman, it is the luckiest thing in the world to have a man I am willing to serve all my life. When I heard Mr. Qi talking about the jade pendant, I wondered what I should do if this pendant fell into the hands of a man I didn't like. I am very fortunate that the person who showed me that jade pendant was you."
Xiao Yunluo rose slightly and kissed his lips lightly with her eyes closed.
*Mwah---*
Then, she lay down and looked carefully at Ye Anping's hesitant eyes with a smile. "Anping, you are the husband of the Young Lady of the ***Black Star*** Sect, and the son-in-law of the Immortal Matriarch. You should be proud and courageous. This is the path I have chosen, and I will stay by your side all my life."
"..."
Xiao Yunluo gently stroked Ye Anping's cheek. "Tomorrow, I'm going back to the ***Black Star*** Sect to prepare for the *Core Formation*. After that, we will not be able to see each other for some time, so... I thought about it for a long time, and I couldn't help but come here."
"...Yunluo."
"Hmm..."
"Stop looking at the *'Erotic Pictures of the Immortal Palace'*, okay?"
?
Xiao Yunluo looked away awkwardly. "What's wrong with it..."
"You don't have the reserve of a noble young lady. If you didn't watch erotic pictures, could you resist? How can you learn this before you get married..."
Listening to Ye Anping reprimanding her as if he were Mr. Qi, Xiao Yunluo pouted and simply rose again blocking his mouth with her lips.
*Mwah---*
After a while, she let go and looked at him with a frown. "Are you still talking?"
"Yunluo..."
*Mwah---*
"Still talking?! I know I can't beat you in an argument, so I'll just stop you from talking!"
"..."
Ye Anping's eyes showed some helplessness. He finally understood why the Feng Yu Die in the game turned into 'Feng Tianchong'.
He was silent for a while, then sat up, took hold of Xiao Yunluo's knees, and gently pulled them apart.
Xiao Yunluo relaxed and placed her hands on the pillow. "Anping."
"Hmm..."
"I know that I can't protect you like Lianxue, nor can I help you deal with those troubles or demonic cultivators, but... give me some time, okay? I will catch up. Sooner or later, I will be by your side, supporting and protecting you like Lianxue."
Ye Anping exhaled and said earnestly, "Yunluo, there are some things that I can't talk about now. You can ask Mr. Qi after you return to the ***Black Star*** Sect."
"Ask what?"
"About the Black Dragon."
Black Dragon...
Xiao Yunluo heard this and couldn't help but recall the name the Demon King mentioned to her when they previously met. Her eyes were a little glazed for a moment.
However, the next moment, a tingling pain pulled her back from her trance. A glimmer of light flashed across her lavender eyes, reflecting Ye Anping's handsome face, which moved back and forth under the moonlight.
...
The pavilion seemed to come to life under the bright moon, and the spring breeze was blowing over the building.
On the top floor of the building, a little girl with yin-yang eyes sat cross-legged, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, with a look of relief on her face.
"Heh..."
At this time, a golden-feathered parrot flew across the sky, landed on her shoulder, and tilted its head to look at her face. *"Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied?"*
"Yeah."
Si Xuanji was in a very good mood. She raised her hand and stroked the golden crown on the parrot's head. Then, she stood up, and her figure turned into starlight, dispersing as she left the roof.
