Zhu Yao turned around and returned to the house. A moment later, she sensed that the three people's presences had already left Fluorescent Wind Sect.
"You shouldn't have let them go." Yu Yan frowned, extremely disapproving of her actions.
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Yao sat on the bed. "No matter how stupid Mo Xianxian is, after today's incident, she will no longer take revenge on Fluorescent Wind Sect."
"That jade space …"
"That jade is merely a tool. What's truly dangerous is the human heart." Zhu Yao explained. "Mo Xianxian offended Fluorescent Wind Sect that day, and now, she has been expelled from Advent Cloud Hall. Even if my mother doesn't pursue the matter, there's no guarantee that others won't target her. That jade is her life-saving artifact. If I take it away, she probably won't be able to live. Why don't we do her a favor? "
"…" Yu Yan did not speak any further, though, his frown deepened. However, when he recalled that the jade was his own disciple's body in the first place, and now, it was going to land in someone else's hands, he felt strangely displeased. As expected, that person called Goudan, he should have killed him in the very beginning.
"By the way, Master." Zhu Yao suddenly recalled something. "I feel a little strange, as though I can suddenly control fire …"
Before she could finish her sentence, there was a loud thud.
The entire roof was suddenly set ablaze, instantly burning the roof clean, leaving ashes on her face.
"That's it." She pointed to the roof. Suddenly, she was more skilled at using fire spells than lightning spells.
Yu Yan's expression sank. Such a fast fire-type Mystic Art, was really rarely seen. "When did you find out?" He silently cast a water spell to extinguish the fire.
"Yesterday, when Mo Xianxian ambushed me." In the beginning, she simply felt that the fire was a little intimate, as though it would not harm her at all.
Yu Yan reached out his hand and held onto her wrist to check her pulse. After that, he sent a strand of his divine sense into her body to check, only to realize that everything was normal with his disciple. He had always known that his disciple had a heaven-defying affinity with lightning spiritual energy, but when did he become so intimate with the fire attribute?
"There are too many mysteries surrounding your body right now. I do not know the reason either. " Yu Yan released his hand, and stroked her head instead. "Hall Master has always been extremely clear about various bizarre matters. Tomorrow, I will make a trip back to Lightning Divine Hall. While you are in Fluorescent Wind Sect, do not act recklessly."
Zhu Yao pulled down his hand that was ruining her hair. When she heard his words, she was startled for a moment. "Master is leaving?"
"Mn." Yu Yan took the opportunity to pull her. Just like last time, he interlocked his fingers. "I'm not here. Be careful. "
"Ou." Zhu Yao weakly responded. "Don't worry, my mother is here! Although my current body has yet to officially begin cultivating, Mo Xianxian's cultivation level as a Profound Deity Paragon is still unable to defeat me. No problem. No problem. "
Yu Yan blanked, as though he had suddenly thought of something. Sizing up the disciple in front of him, he suddenly had a strange thought. "Yu Yao, what's your current cultivation level?"
"Ah?" Why did he suddenly ask this? "Aren't I at the intermediate stage of the Profound Immortal Realm? No, that's not right. I've changed my avatar, and I've never cultivated before. He's not even an Earth Immortal … "As she spoke, she was also stunned. Earth Immortal? But how was she able to defeat Mo Xianxian?
Could it be …
"Yu Yao." Yu Yan's voice sank. "I can't see through your cultivation."
— —
There were two situations where one's cultivation could not be seen through. Firstly, the other party did not have any cultivation in the first place. Secondly, the other party's cultivation level was many times higher than hers, hence, she could not see through it. She had always thought that she was the first type. However, earlier, she had clearly beaten up Mo Xianxian, a Profound Deity, to the point where she could not retaliate at all. She basically did not look like she did not have any cultivation at all.
If it was the second type …
Her master was already a High Deity. In this Divine Realm, he belonged to the highest level. Yet, he was still unable to see through her cultivation level. Then …
Her cultivation level was even higher than a High Deity's?
This was simply unbelievable.
It wasn't that she had never tested her own cultivation level. Her master was a High Deity, and his divine sense could cover a large half of the Divine Realm continent. However, her divine sense could only see things within a radius of ten thousand kilometers. How could her cultivation level be higher than his?
Wait a minute. A radius of ten thousand kilometers? Her range of movement seemed to be limited to a radius of fifty kilometers as well. Could it be because of this?
Her master returned to Lightning Divine Hall on the second day. She could only wait for him to return to answer all the questions.
Zhu Yao spent the majority of her time in Dawnfall Peak. Occasionally, she would visit her cheap mother's place. Yin Shi, however, did not mention Xu Nuoyan. Most probably, she had already begun to guard against him. Zhu Yao did not mind adding more eyedrops.
Xu Nuoyan's thoughts ran too deep, and he thought too much. Zhu Yao guessed that his final goal, was to obtain Fluorescent Wind Sect. Though Mo Xianxian had already given up on him, it did not mean that he would not find other opportunities to make a comeback. Though Zhu Yao was not interested in such power struggles, Yin Shi was after all, her mother. Naturally, she would not stand on the side of an outsider.
Her cheap mother's investigation of Xu Nuoyan did not stop. Zhu Yao wondered if she had confirmed that Mo Xianxian's words were all true. In the past few days, even if she took the initiative to mention Xu Nuoyan, her tone would be filled with unconcealed anger. Initially, though he was the previous Sect Master's personal succeeding disciple, a large half of the sect's affairs had to go through his hands. Now, however, Yin Shi was slowly retracting it. If not for the sake of her cheap father who had already entered the Lightning Divine Tower, Yin Shi would most likely have expelled him from Fluorescent Wind Sect.
Zhu Yao instantly felt that the mission this time was unexpectedly easy. It seemed like Fluorescent Wind Sect completely did not have to fear being exterminated.
However, at the last moment, she suddenly recalled something. Just who was the bug this time?
No matter if it was Mo Xianxian or Xu Nuoyan, the two of them did not seem to have the word 'bug' on their faces. In the beginning, she had thought that it was that piece of divine jade. However, when she carefully looked at it, the remaining half of the jade did have the word 'BU' on it, but it definitely couldn't be considered as a bug.
Could it be that the bug this time, didn't affect the person?
Just when Zhu Yao was completely puzzled, Xu Nuoyan came knocking on her door. It had been a while since they last met, yet, he still had that elegant scumbag look. He completely did not have the dispirited look after being suppressed, and the way he looked at her, still gave her goosebumps.
"Junior-martial sister, long time no see."
"Hoho, fellow Daoist Xu." Zhu Yao really did not want to bother with him.
"Junior-martial sister, why are you calling me fellow Daoist again?" Xu Nuoyan looked as though he did not have any temper. "Earlier, didn't you already call me senior-martial brother? Why did you suddenly change your form of address? "
"It was my mother who reminded me. I have already entered Lightning Divine Hall, so I'm not a disciple of Fluorescent Wind Sect. Naturally, I can't address you as senior-martial sister."
"I see." Xu Nuoyan was unexpectedly easy to talk to this time. "Since that's the case, then I won't be courteous with junior-martial sister, and will call you by your Daoist name. How about Yu Yao?"
Uh … These words were really hard to refute. "Fellow Daoist Xu, is there something you need from me?"
Xu Nuoyan did not mind her coldness in the slightest, as he smiled until his eyebrows could not be seen. "Nothing much, it's just that seeing you stay on Dawnfall Peak every day, you will definitely feel stifled. Coincidentally, my master's wife has sent me to Cloudhold City, which is several dozen kilometers away from here, to settle a small matter, so I came to ask if you're willing to follow me."
"There's no need." Only a ghost would want to go out with a scumbag like you. "It's best that I continue to cultivate here."
"Yu Yao sure is diligent." Xu Nuoyan continued. "However, you have just woken up not too long ago, so you should be unfamiliar with everything in this world. Yet, you're actually not curious about the outside world. That's quite rare."
Zhu Yao's heart clenched for a moment. She seemed to be acting a little too calm. Though she was not worried that the matter of her turning into Yin Xin would be exposed, and had even directly confessed to her cheap mother, even though Yin Shi had acknowledged her, it did not mean that others would not suspect her.
As expected, a scumbag's schemes ran deep.
"That's the closest and most flourishing city to Fluorescent Wind Sect. It won't take too long, and auspicious clouds are gathering there today. There should be people ascending from the Lower Realm, and it's a rare opportunity. Are you really not going to take a look?" Xu Nuoyan continued.
Alright, if she were to really reject him right away, with how scheming this person was, he might really suspect her. Furthermore … She was really a little curious. For someone like her who had snuck into the Heavens, she was still interested in things like ascension.
In the end, Zhu Yao still followed him. That Cloudhold City was only about thirty kilometers away from Fluorescent Wind Sect, so she would not faint from being too far away like last time.
This time, Xu Nuoyan had a mission. He was heading there to receive the deities who had just ascended to the Higher Realm, and persuade them to join Fluorescent Wind Sect. Sending him, a Gold Deity, for a mission like this, it could be seen that Yin Shi was really afraid of him.
Before leaving, she went to Yin Shi's place to greet her. Initially, she had wanted to have her cheap mother stop her. In the beginning, Yin Shi was indeed a little dissatisfied, but after Xu Nuoyan said a few words, she actually agreed to it. She even joyfully contributed a divine sword as a transportation tool. Mother, am I really your biological daughter?
Zhu Yao's plan went to waste, so she could only accept her fate and head on her way.
Along the way, Xu Nuoyan did not act like how he usually did, persistently pulling her into a conversation, or expressing his heartlessness. Other than the way he looked at her, which still caused her hair to stand on end, he actually did not mention a single word about Mo Xianxian. Even if she intentionally brought it up, and wanted to mock him a little. He did not answer her due to his good temper, and simply let out a light laugh.
Did Xu Nuoyan change his mind? Or was it because he was struck by Yin Shi to the point where he had no choice but to give up?
Such an abnormal Xu Nuoyan, caused Zhu Yao to unavoidably raise her guard a little. God knows what he was planning, it was best to be a little more careful.
They flew at an extremely slow pace. Zhu Yao intentionally made it seem like her divine arts were not strong, while Xu Nuoyan matched her speed the entire time, flying a step away from her. He followed her at a distance that was neither too far nor too close, and he did look rather gentlemanly. It seemed like Mo Xianxian's infatuation with him was not without reason. At the very least, he did a good job on the surface.
Just like that, they dilly-dallied and flew for an hour. Just as they were about to reach their destination, they suddenly heard a familiar voice from below.
"Return the rock spirit to me, otherwise, I will show you."
