"Ah …"
Thousands of meters above the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation.
Ling Yun, who was sitting on a huge, luxurious sofa, stretched his arms and opened his eyes.
"Is the show over?"
Ye Xingchen, who was still wrapped in a black veil, was lying lazily on the sofa with his head resting on Ling Yun's thigh. His black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and he looked drowsy. His long eyelashes fluttered slightly as he asked.
Ever since Ye Xingchen gave Ling Yun that top-notch, heaven-defying visualization technique, her torn soul had long been healed by Ling Yun's meticulous treatment. However, for some reason, she had fallen into a habit of lethargy. Her eyelids would fight at the slightest provocation and she would yawn endlessly. She was about to turn into a sleeping beauty.
It was simply inexplicable!
Ling Yun was very worried about this. How could this be? A cultivator at the peak of Qi Cultivation Stage Nine could stay awake for more than ten consecutive days without sleeping. How could Ye Xingchen suddenly become like this?
Moreover, with Ling Yun's current realm, he had absolute confidence in his medical skills. He believed that there were no mistakes in the process of healing Ye Xingchen's soul. Moreover, he had repeatedly checked with his divine will. Ye Xingchen's soul was definitely healed, and it was even more condensed than before!
So where did this habit of lethargy come from?
Aftereffects?
Absolutely impossible!
He was very worried, and even more so, he blamed himself. This was because he had repeatedly confirmed that before Ye Xingchen had given him that visualization technique, such a situation had never occurred. Therefore, it was obvious that Ye Xingchen's frequent drowsiness had something to do with the visualization technique he had been given.
Visualization techniques were indeed heaven-defying. Even back in the Cultivation World, Ling Yun had never heard of such a thing. The benefits it would bring to his future cultivation were simply immeasurable. However, if it caused Ye Xingchen to become like this, he would rather not have it!
The loss outweighed the gain!
How could he make a losing trade? That wasn't Ling Yun's style!
However, Ye Xingchen didn't take this to heart at all. She only said that her condition might have something to do with her reaching the Foundation Establishment stage at any time, and told Ling Yun, Yin Qingxuan, and the others not to worry.
Lingyun racked his brains and thought hard. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked her if this situation had anything to do with the one hundred and eight stars that the Emperor Brush's artifact spirit had inserted into her sea of consciousness between her eyebrows, or if it had something to do with hiding the secrets of heaven for her.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xingchen just waved his hand lazily and said, "Don't think too much about it. It has nothing to do with those things."
Then, Ling Yun was at his wit's end.
However, according to his close observation over the past two days, Ye Xingchen's body really didn't have any other problems aside from falling into a deep slumber at the slightest provocation. The degree of condensation of his spirit was also becoming more and more stable, almost not losing to his own self before he broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm. Only then did he feel slightly relieved.
Fine, so be it. No matter what Ye Xingchen turned into, he could definitely afford to raise him, and he would be responsible to the end.
He could only hope that this situation would take a turn for the better after Ye Xingchen broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to sit still.
"Yes, they're done. They've all gone back."
Ling Yun lightly played with her long hair as he answered casually.
"How … were the results of the test?"
"Heh … It's really as Mom said. These three are really three old foxes. Their acting skills are each better than the other. Any one of them could easily win Best Actor if they were to act in a movie …"
"Pfft."
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but laugh. Her shoulders trembled a few times before she forced her beautiful eyes open. She turned over and sat up. Then, with a light flick of her long hair, she found the most comfortable position and leaned against Ling Yun's shoulder with incomparable laziness.
All her movements and postures just now were beautiful.
Ling Yun very naturally hugged her, the corner of his mouth curling into a smile. He asked, "Sleeping Beauty, you're not sleeping anymore?"
"No, I'm resting for a while. Hmm … I'll chat with you for a while."
"Alright."
Ling Yun smiled, hiding the trace of worry in his eyes as he replied gently.
"To put such a big sofa in the sky, I can't believe you could think of that …"
"It's very important that it's comfortable!"
Ling Yun's words were justified, his tone irrefutable. "I'm fine with it, but don't you want to sleep? If it were up in my mind, I might as well just move the bed out, but you're desperately trying to stop me."
This was Ling Yun's philosophy. Since he had the ability to do it, then naturally he would do it in any way that was comfortable. It didn't matter if it was in the sky, in the water, or underground.
Ye Xingchen couldn't be bothered to refute him. She only giggled, her delicate body trembling incessantly.
"The three … the three great elders really didn't notice us at all?"
"Of course they didn't!"
Ling Yun said confidently. "With the Light Assimilation Technique, the real God-warding Formation, and the Mixed Elements Spirit Shield, not to mention them, even a pinnacle Golden Core cultivator wouldn't be able to detect us even if they used their divine senses to investigate."
There was no need for invisibility at all.
In fact, there was no need for the triple protection at all. Ling Yun only needed to use the Light Assimilation Technique to completely conceal his surroundings. He could completely avoid the detection of the three great elders' divine senses.
Moreover, with the addition of the real God-warding Formation, it was no longer a small one.
Without the word "small", there was a qualitative difference. It was a formation of a completely different level.
"Since the three great elders can't detect us, then why do you still say that they're acting?"
"You can't really say that they're acting for me. They're not acting for the sake of acting," Ling Yun explained with a smile.
Ling Yun smiled and explained, "Everything they said and did just now was definitely from their hearts. It's just that …"
"Just what?"
"This from their hearts is based on the fact that they've already guessed that I'm secretly observing them. Snatching the wine was real, drinking was real, and the words they said while drinking were even more sincere."
"How can you be sure that they guessed that you haven't left yet and are observing them in the vicinity?"
"Uh … that's just my guess, but it can't be wrong."
"The Dragon Emperor's Magic Sword severed the connection hub and left such a huge hole in their protective formation. It's not like it was an enemy attack, and then the Mysterious Sea Grotto disappeared. As long as they're not idiots, they'll definitely be able to guess that I did it."
"And as long as they've guessed that I did it, then the probability of me leaving or not leaving is fifty percent."
"If you were to guess, or if you were to make a bet, would you bet that I've left or not left?"
After hearing this, Ye Xingchen turned her head and blinked. She glanced at Ling Yun and said, "Then I'll definitely bet that you haven't left. Even if you did, I'll still treat it as if you're still here."
Ling Yun gave her an admiring look, then spread his hands. "So …"
"Then after you've watched the entire show, what's your conclusion about them? The results of their test? "
"It's so-so. They barely passed."
He first gave an overall evaluation, then Ling Yun made a series of comments.
"Great Elder Wen Mo is experienced and prudent. His schemes are as deep as the sea. He plans everything before taking action, but when he strikes, he's like a bolt of lightning, striking first to gain the initiative."
"Kong Cui is eccentric and crafty, but he's extremely intelligent. He doesn't care about any superficial efforts at all, but he always sticks to his heart. He's decisive and exceptionally ruthless."
"The most interesting one is that Yu Gu. Damn, he really hides his abilities. He can act like a real fool and fool, but in reality, he doesn't suffer any losses at all. He's really f * cking …" Ling Yun cursed fiercely.
He almost blurted out "he's really f * cking like me", but then he realized that it wasn't right and forcefully swallowed it back.
"Up to you?"
Ye Xingchen almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She didn't hide it and directly finished the sentence for him.
"Moreover, the three of them are extremely well-coordinated. They don't even need to exchange glances, much less communicate telepathically. It's all based on what they do and what they want to say and what they want to do. They tell me everything that's in their hearts, what they want to say, and what they want to do!
"They really are three old foxes!"
"Of course, the three Great Elders have known each other for a hundred years. Moreover, Kong Cui and Yu Gu are both considered half disciples of Wen Mo, and they also control the three flags of the Twelve Capital Heaven Divine Fiends Formation. If they don't have a tacit understanding, then there's no such thing as tacit understanding in this world."
Ling Yun nodded in agreement. "That makes sense."
"That means that you've passed the test for the three of them?"
After all, with her identity as the Devil Sect's Holy Virgin, Ye Xingchen was rather concerned about this point, so she repeatedly confirmed it.
"They passed the test when they stepped into the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation without hesitation. As for the rest, it's not important."
Ling Yun's test was to test the heart, not the three Great Elders' strength, realm, and future plans. Those were indeed not important to Ling Yun now.
If he really took over the position of Holy Leader and took control of the Glory Sect, wouldn't he be able to do anything he wanted?
When Ye Xingchen heard that the three of them had passed the test, she immediately stood in front of Ling Yun and said with a gentle voice, "The Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect pays her respects to the Holy Lord."
Ling Yun: …
Dumbfounded.
So the real Best Actress is you!
Therefore, Ling Yun first sat upright and accepted Ye Xingchen's bow. Then, he stood up solemnly and bowed to Ye Xingchen, saying seriously, "The Devil Sect's Holy Leader greets the Holy Madam."
Who didn't know how to put on a full show!
Ye Xingchen laughed without the slightest scruple. Her starry eyes were intoxicated.
"Husband and wife, enter the bridal room!"
Taking advantage of the moment when Ye Xingchen was rocking back and forth with laughter, Ling Yun suddenly said this. Then, he extended his arms and gave Ye Xingchen a princess hug!
"Get lost!"
Ye Xingchen struggled with all her might.
"Get lost? The Holy Leader and the Holy Madam should be rolling in the sheets now …"
"This Holy Virgin isn't sleepy now!"
"But this Holy Leader is sleepy!"
"You … ugh …"
After a long while, Ye Xingchen finally escaped from Ling Yun's clutches. She glared at Ling Yun and asked, "What time is it?"
"Around seven."
Ling Yun glanced at the sun in the east. He cultivated the Stellar Condensation Technique every morning, so he could accurately predict the time within ten seconds.
"It's been almost two hours. Master and Uncle Ling should be back at the Ling Family by now, right?"
Ling Yun thought about it for a while and said with a smirk, "Probably not. It's rare for my dad to be romantic, so he insisted on bringing my mom back home. Wouldn't they be lovey-dovey, sentimental, and the sunset be infinitely beautiful along the way?"
Ye Xingchen blushed when she heard that. "To hell with the sunset!"
