While Elder Kenzō was stunned, Long Fei Ye remained calm.
"Master, this disciple never fights uncertain battles. You know that," Long Fei Ye intoned.
"Why do you control the Lustbite energy?" Elder Kenzō retorted.
"Because this disciple only used a year to break through to the seventh level. As long as master unseals this disciple, this disciple will definitely be able to control this energy within a month. "Long Fei Ye was confident enough that he wouldn't have come otherwise.
"It's too risky …"
Elder Kenzō stared into his eyes and reminded him, "You should know that a single misstep during this month could cost you your life!"
"That's why this disciple is willing to accept punishment even though he didn't do anything wrong. Cultivating in the Abstinence Courtyard's Abstinence Hall is safer than cultivating on Celestial Mountain. At the very least, it can dispel Cang Qiuzi's suspicions." Long Fei Ye had yielded in the kidnapping of Grand Concubine Yi not only because he trusted Elder Kenzō, but also because he had other plans.
Elder Kenzō suddenly realized. "It looks like you came prepared."
"This disciple is like master. I don't want Kenzō to fall into internal strife or the martial arts circles. I only want to get rid of Cang Qiuzi." Long Fei Ye paused, then said, "The Lustbite energy belongs to the East Qin imperial clan. This disciple needs it."
Elder Kenzō didn't care about the state of affairs in Cloud Realm Continent's imperial court, but he knew that Long Fei Ye's words meant that he was prepared to restore the country.
The martial arts circles might not be the main force, but they were a powerful aid. At the very least, they couldn't be a hindrance. Duanmu Yao's use of the martial arts circles to make things difficult for Ning Cheng was a perfect example.
Taking over the City of Daughters wasn't just for revenge, but also to reward Han Yunxi. It was also Long Fei Ye's first step in intimidating the martial arts circles. Once Long Fei Ye took first place in the Celestial Mountain ranking matches, who in the martial arts circles wouldn't bow their heads to him or give way to him?
Elder Kenzō fell silent for a long time before he spoke. "Feiye, this energy belongs to your East Qin imperial clan. If you want to unseal it, master has no right to stop you. But master will remind you that if you can't control the Lustbite energy, the consequences won't be as simple as qi deviation. Perhaps you'll pay with your life.
The Lustbite Seal belonged to the East Qin imperial clan, but Long Feiye was the only one who'd ever used it. Even the sword sect master wasn't sure what would happen if he suffered a backlash from the Lustbite energy.
"Your disciple has already thought things through," Long Feiye said seriously.
"We can delay the matter with the Abstinence Courtyard for another day. You can reconsider," the Sword Sect Master advised.
Elder Kenzō's right, the old 'Kenzō's Kenzō's, Kenzō's..
The Sword Sect Master didn't try to persuade him any further. He knew his disciple too well. Once he decided on something, he would never change his mind, nor would he regret it.
"Alright, master promises you!" Elder Kenzō said. "You mustn't let down Celestial Mountain or your imperial mother!"
Celestial Mountain needed Long Fei Ye to stabilize it, just as East Qin needed Long Fei Ye to restore its empire. The burden on his shoulders was heavy.
I won't let down Han Yunxi either.
Long Fei Ye kept these words to himself. Then he turned to Elder Kenzō and said, "Master, please keep the Lustbite Seal a secret from Yunxi."
Elder Kenzō quickly realized something was off. "She still doesn't know your identity?"
"Mm," Long Fei Ye admitted.
"Why hide it from her?" Elder Kenzō was no fool. There had to be something fishy going on here.
Han Yunxi wasn't a woman Long Fei Ye kept by his side for show. She was his favorite wangfei, but she didn't know about Long Fei Ye's identity?
She was Long Fei Ye's closest confidante, but she didn't know about Long Fei Ye's origins? Why?
Long Fei Ye thought for a long time before replying to Elder Kenzō. "Private matters."
Private matters, so I have no right to ask?
Elder Kenzō smiled wryly. Even his beloved Yao Yao didn't dare to answer him like this, but Long Fei Ye did.
Yao Yao often flattered and curried favor with him, while Long Fei Ye often disobeyed, contradicted, and wasn't polite. Sometimes, even Elder Kenzō couldn't tell who he favored more.
Elder Kenzō didn't ask any more questions. Cold, he said, "You brought her up Celestial Mountain. Look after her yourself. This grandmaster won't take responsibility if she gets lost."
"Understood! Then I will wait for you at the Commandment Courtyard. "
Long Fei Ye wanted to leave, but Elder Kenzō stopped him. "What's the rush? This grandmaster still has something to tell you."
"Master, I already have enough things to do." Long Fei Ye rejected him directly.
"You don't have to worry about this." Elder Kenzō was unhappy.
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything, but Elder Kenzō tapped his chair to signal him to sit down.
Long Fei Ye didn't sit down. "Master, please tell me what you want to say."
"Yao Yao and you are …"
Before Elder Kenzō could finish his sentence, Long Fei Ye interrupted him. "Let her recuperate first. We can talk about other things after she recovers."
It was obvious that Long Fei Ye knew what Elder Kenzō wanted to say.
If it was in the past, Long Fei Ye wouldn't waste his breath and would have left long ago. But now, he had to stay on Celestial Mountain for a while, and he had a favor to ask of his master. More importantly, Han Yunxi was also on Celestial Mountain. He could only stall for time.
Elder Kenzō nodded. "That's fine."
Long Fei Ye's eyes flashed. Since his master had agreed, it meant that he had the confidence to save Duanmu Yao. If Duanmu Yao's dantian could be saved, then Gu Beiyue could also be saved. After all, Gu Beiyue's situation was much better than Duanmu Yao's, since he could still use his zhenqi.
Long Fei Ye didn't ask any more questions. After leaving, he didn't immediately look for Han Yunxi. Instead, he instructed a few of his confidants to keep a close eye on Duanmu Yao's every move.
Elder Kenzō couldn't be followed, but Duanmu Yao could. If they kept a close eye on her, they wouldn't have to worry about not knowing how their master was going to save her.
When Long Fei Ye returned to First Hall, he saw Han Yunxi leaning against a pillar with her arms crossed, staring blankly at the sky.
This woman didn't have the slightest bit of defense. He'd already walked up behind her, but she hadn't even noticed.
"What are you thinking about?" Long Fei Ye asked mildly.
Han Yunxi jumped in fright. She was about to turn around when Long Fei Ye hugged her from behind. "What are you thinking about? Tell me. "
"I'm thinking about you." Han Yunxi was very honest.
"Let's go. We're going to the Abstinence Courtyard." Long Fei Ye hugged her waist and flew her down the mountain.
"Just what's going on? Cang Qiuzi's power is so great that even your master fears him? "Han Yunxi didn't understand.
Long Fei Ye explained the situation to her while Han Yunxi laughed disdainfully. "So it's Elder Kenzō who lost the people's hearts. Serves him right!"
"Duanmu Yao didn't tattle on us again, right?" Han Yunxi was more concerned about this.
"Master knows very well. Don't bring this up again," Long Fei Ye said mildly.
"Alright, the big picture is more important." Han Yunxi didn't want to get tangled up with Duanmu Yao. In any case, the girl had suffered a lot in the past.
"I'll borrow the Abstinence Courtyard to cultivate in seclusion for a month. Be good and stay with Granny You, alright?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Long Fei Ye had only said he was going to cultivate and prepare for the ranking matches. He hadn't mentioned the Lustbite Seal.
Han Yunxi nodded without hesitation. "As long as you don't chase me off the mountain, I'm willing to stay with anyone."
Long Fei Ye looked at her dotingly and helplessly. "I trust Granny You's character. Before I come out, don't leave the Abstinence Courtyard."
If he kept Han Yunxi by his side, he wouldn't be able to calm his heart enough to control the Lustbite energy. If he left her at Nine Xuan Palace, Duanmu Yao would definitely cause trouble. Master's condition was unstable, so he couldn't stop worrying. Only the Abstinence Courtyard had Granny You's sense of propriety. She wouldn't cause trouble for Han Yunxi for no reason, while Duanmu Yao and Cang Qiuzi feared the Abstinence Courtyard. Even if they did, Granny You wouldn't sit idly by.
"I won't go anywhere. I'll just wait by your door every day and guard it!" Han Yunxi teased.
"Really?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"Of course!" Han Yunxi was certain.
"Then your lordship will never come out. I want you to guard me for the rest of your life," Long Fei Ye grinned.
Han Yunxi had no idea when Long Fei Ye had become so fond of joking. She grinned back. "If you don't come out after a month, I'll go down the mountain. I will leave Tianshan Mountain and never come back! "
Long Fei Ye hugged her tightly as they landed on the roof of Celestial Sword's main hall. He looked straight into Han Yunxi's eyes. "Han Yunxi, why didn't your lordship realize you were so heartless before?"
"If you're not heartless, I won't be either. If you're heartless enough to abandon me, then I'll be heartless enough to abandon you, "Han Yunxi replied seriously. These words were meant to give Long Fei Ye a heads-up.
She was still worried that he'd send her off the mountain if he couldn't leave before mid-autumn.
Long Fei Ye was satisfied with her helplessness and doting. In the end, he cupped her head and buried it in his chest. He sighed softly, his voice very soft. "You're the only person your lordship can't be heartless with …"
When they reached the Abstinence Courtyard, Granny You personally came to greet them. She was going to take Long Fei Ye to the Abstinence Hall, but Long Fei Ye said, "Wait a moment. Shall we wait for my master to come along?"
"The sect head is coming in person?" Granny You was surprised.
"Master was in closed door cultivation during your lordship's wedding. Now that Yunxi's here, I should invite master to drink a cup of tea, "Long Fei Ye intoned.
He was going to formally introduce Han Yunxi to Elder Kenzō!
Although they'd already met, that and Long Feiye's formal introduction were two completely different things.
If Long Fei Ye hadn't mentioned it, Han Yunxi would've forgotten that Long Fei Ye was bringing her here to meet his "parents."
Granny You looked at Han Yunxi from head to toe as she recalled the rumors circulating outside. Those rumors weren't without reason. Although Han Yunxi didn't know martial arts, she really couldn't be provoked.
"Then let's go to the teahouse. It's been so long since I drank Feiye's tea that I really miss it," Granny You smiled.
As they walked, Granny You probed, "Yunxi, why don't you practice martial arts?"
A few years ago, Long Fei Ye had declared Han Yunxi to be a waste who couldn't cultivate internal energy. Although she couldn't practice martial arts, she was too embarrassed to answer such a question on Celestial Mountain grounds.
Long Fei Ye only pretended not to hear and didn't reply.
But then Granny You added, "Feiye will be punished for a month. Yunxi, since you have nothing to do, why don't this old woman arrange for a disciple to teach you martial arts?"
"The Abstinence Courtyard has already used up its quota for accepting disciples this year, right?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Granny You smiled. "My Abstinence Courtyard doesn't have the good fortune to accept Qin Wangfei as a disciple. I'm only worried that she'll be bored and want to relieve her boredom."
"Many thanks for Granny You's kind intentions, but Yunxi won't be bored. Yunxi has plenty of things to do!" Han Yunxi hastened to smooth things over.
It was already shameful enough that she didn't know martial arts. What if Granny You found out that she was a martial arts trash?
