In order to avoid conflict between the two sides, Turbid Wave Pavilion had arranged separate lodgings for Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan on two separate islands.
Enveloped by a grand formation, if a battle erupted between the two sides, Turbid Wave Pavilion would be able to intervene and mediate in time.
On the surface of the boundless lake, a small boat floated, extremely far away from the island.
Gazing into the surroundings from the boat, one could only see the boundless lake water.
A girl sat on the boat, bottles and jars placed before her, holding a metal skewer in her hand. On the skewer was a bird whose belly had been split open, its feathers removed.
Beside the girl, there were also a few metal skewers that were similarly skewered with sparrows.
The girl spread her fingers, grabbing towards the air before her, a lot of firewood being bound and enveloped by her aura-qi.
She lit a fire on the boat, but the fire was controlled by her aura-qi, hovering just like that in mid-air, not affecting the boat at all.
The girl placed the thing in her hand on the fire to roast, also sprinkling seasonings on it from time to time in a practiced manner.
Now, someone approached.
The girl sensed it, but a black sabre lay quietly by her side, not showing any intention of retrieving it.
Leaping onto the boat, seeing this girl, the other party cheered, "Senior apprentice-sister!"
The newcomer's eyes were bright, her beauty moving. It was precisely the Sacred Sun Clan's direct disciple, Meng Wan.
And the person on the boat, her long black hair draped behind her, a smile at the corner of her mouth, her gaze flowing, her heroic bearing flourishing. It was Feng Yunsheng who had already entered Broad Creed Mountain.
Seeing Meng Wan, Feng Yunsheng smiled, "Little Wan came so quickly. My first bird has yet to be roasted."
Meng Wan's usual demure demeanor was nowhere to be seen. Leaping onto the boat, she squatted before Feng Yunsheng without a care for her image, looking eagerly at the bird that Feng Yunsheng was currently roasting, "Senior apprentice-sister, I like it a little stronger."
Feng Yunsheng said, "I naturally know your taste."
Smiling, Meng Wan just looked at Feng Yunsheng like that, feeling as though she had returned to when she had just entered the clan when she was young.
Looking at Meng Wan, Feng Yunsheng sighed emotionally, "While I've seen some traces of light, it has already been more than four years since we've met. Little Wan has already grown into a young lady."
Meng Wan smiled and said, "Is it because a girl changes eighteen times between womanhood and womanhood, becoming more and more beautiful?"
Feng Yunsheng laughed in spite of herself, "Of course. I've heard that the young heroes who have the intention of courting you can line up from the World Illuminating Peak all the way to the Eastern Sea. In the Lake Region we are currently in, Turbid Wave Pavilion's core direct disciple Ruan Ping has always been thinking about you."
Meng Wan's expression was indifferent, but she had a smug look on her face, like a proud little peacock. "Of course, I'm cute, beautiful, and talented. Beauty isn't just for show. Naturally, I'll be the dream lover of many."
Feng Yunsheng smiled and shook her head.
It was only in front of her and Meng Wan's own master that she could see Meng Wan like this.
Other than that, the person who appeared in front of the world, including the Sacred Sun Clan's Huang Guanglie and the new disciples, would forever only be that gentle, elegant, modest, polite, perfect and flawless, no flaws to be found in her at all, the Heaven's favoured daughter who always made people feel at ease and would never make a mistake.
Meng Wan's expression didn't seem to mind, but the tips of her brows, the corners of her eyes, every single wrinkle on her face seemed to be soundlessly saying the same thing.
"Come and praise me, come and praise me, come and praise me …"
Feng Yunsheng looked rather interestedly at Meng Wan. In some ways, Meng Wan was somewhat similar to another person.
Yan Zhaoge.
That person, while appearing to have an orderly demeanour on the surface, was actually also a very smug, very flamboyant person in his bones. He liked to show off his divinity in front of others, shocking onlookers till they were all dumbstruck.
Similarly, as Feng Yunsheng knew, Yan Zhaoge's evaluation of Meng Wan was also not low.
That year, she had cleverly led Yan Zhaoge to find Feng Yunsheng, helping her out of her predicament and obstructing Xiao Shen's pursuit.
Not only had she helped Feng Yunsheng, she had also broken off Yan Zhaoge's tracking of her. At the same time, she had also not directly clashed with Xiao Shen, killing three birds with one stone.
It was also from that time that Yan Zhaoge had clearly realised that this girl who looked harmless, instead even being able to incite the desire of others to protect her, was truly not someone to be trifled with.
And having grown up together with Meng Wan since young, Feng Yunsheng understood this all too well.
It was only in front of her and her Master that Meng Wan revealed her true side.
"That's right, the dream lover of countless people. Who knows how many men, and there might even be women, want to press you down beneath them …" Feng Yunsheng's expression was calm as she sprinkled some spices on the skewers, then flipped them over on the fire, "… press them down beneath you, next rolling up and down, rocking back and forth."
Meng Wan instantly couldn't bear it, "Uh … this, it's better not to."
Feng Yunsheng smiled as she looked at her. Somewhat unconvinced, Meng Wan snorted, "Anyway, senior apprentice-sister, don't look down on me. I can also be considered to have grown up to be a slender and elegant woman now!"
"En, regrettably, as soon as you eat, everything is destroyed," Feng Yunsheng's tone was slow and leisurely.
Meng Wan cried out aggrievedly, "Senior apprentice-sister!"
Feng Yunsheng waved the metal skewer in her hand, "It's done. Are you going to eat it, or not?"
Meng Wan immediately scooted over to her, looking even more flattering than Little Meaty and Pan-Pan, "Of course I'm going to eat it!"
Feng Yunsheng smiled as she handed the metal skewer to Meng Wan, who instantly ate heartily happily.
This was something that only Feng Yunsheng and Meng Wan knew. Even Meng Wan's Master didn't know that her disciple was a super glutton.
And just as Feng Yunsheng had said, Meng Wan's table manners indeed caused her usual tranquil and peaceful image of a goddess to appear rather disillusioned.
It wasn't that she was uncouth, but she truly had the air of a man who drank wine and ate large chunks of meat.
Feng Yunsheng just smiled, looking at Meng Wan before taking out another metal skewer, picking up the bird on it and beginning to cook it once more.
She first ate with Meng Wan, then ate as well, the two chatting and laughing as they talked about some interesting things that had happened after their separation.
However, regarding the Extreme Yin Bout before them, regarding the conflict between Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan, the two did not utter a single word about it.
After they had finished eating, the two girls sat side by side on the small boat, looking at the scenery of the lake in the distance.
Leaning on Feng Yunsheng's shoulder, Meng Wan murmured softly, "If I could always possess the Extreme Yin Crown, if I were a Martial Grandmaster and had the ability to unleash the power of the Extreme Yin Crown to an even higher level, even before the old Clan Chief, my words would also carry weight. I would be able to seek justice for you, senior apprentice-sister, and help you return to the Mountain."
"Now, Xiao Shen is dead, Elder Pan is also dead, and the people who persecuted you in the Sacred Sun Clan are all gone. However, all of this is already meaningless."
Feng Yunsheng lightly embraced Meng Wan, not speaking.
Back then, in the one year between the First Extreme Yin Bout and the Second Extreme Yin Bout, the forces pursuing her had weakened greatly. The reason for this was actually because Meng Wan had won the Extreme Yin Crown and was helping her out in the Sacred Sun Clan.
Perhaps her personality was somewhat similar to Yan Zhaoge's, but they were ultimately different.
Faced with the tacit approval of the clan's upper echelons as well as the pressure from the Grand Elder Pan Botai, Meng Wan's personality determined that she wouldn't forcibly resist it. However, she had always tried to lessen the pressure on Feng Yunsheng in a roundabout manner.
Leaning on Feng Yunsheng's shoulder, Meng Wan's gaze was a little misty.
To her, on one side was Feng Yunsheng, and on the other was her master who had raised and raised her, her debt of gratitude as heavy as a mountain.
And to Feng Yunsheng, Broad Creed Mountain had also given her a new lease on life.
While it was a joyous reunion after a long time, the Extreme Yin Bout, the contest for the Extreme Yin Crown, was something that neither of them could give in to.
Although she had already expected such a day to come after learning that Feng Yunsheng had regained her Extreme Yin Physique, Meng Wan still felt a sense of loss. (To be continued.)
