Chapter 85: Brother Brought Yet Another Girl Home

The mountains on both sides slowly moved backward like a rolling curtain.

Riding Xiao Yunluo's pink cherry wood divine traveling boat, Ye Anping had now become the most attractive boy in the **Western Region**.

On the way to the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect, he had been hit on at least a dozen times.

There was even one time when, while he was flying in mid-air, he was chased by a rogue female cultivator in the *Core Formation* stage who even asked him bluntly if he needed a master who could teach him some very rare techniques.

Ye Anping reckoned that the woman must have mistakenly believed that he was the owner of the divine traveling boat and took him for a naive young master from a wealthy family, thinking that she could extort some money from him.

Indeed, although he was of the principle that wealth should not be exposed, this toy under his feet, worth nearly 100,000 spirit stones, was really ostentatious.

Also, during the seven or eight days he spent with Xiao Yunluo, Ye Anping suddenly found that she seemed to like him.

He thought that it should be because of that sparring session with her...

When they were still about a hundred miles away from the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect, Ye Anping thought about it for a while, and then spoke, "Sister Xiao, I hope you won't mistake my sincerity toward you as love."

"?!!"

Hearing these words, Xiao Yunluo, who had been napping in the back, suddenly woke up and looked at him in surprise.

"What?"

After Ye Anping made sure that there were no mountains ahead, he turned toward her.

"After our last sparring session, you shouldn't have a crush on me, right?"

"I..."

"I can understand. After all, when you were a child you always kept to yourself, and all the disciples and elders within the sect were polite to you and didn't dare to injure you in the sparring sessions. So, the fact that I almost killed you at that time was enough to leave a deep impression on you."

"..." Xiao Yunluo froze.

"But..." Ye Anping shrugged. "You shouldn't fall in love with me over this."

"Who, who! Who likes you?!" Xiao Yunluo quickly stood up and retorted loudly with a blushing face. "How could I possibly like you!!!"

"You can't fall for me or like me."

"!!"

"Don't fall in love with someone just because of such trivial things." Ye Anping shrugged and continued, "Otherwise, sooner or later, you will be taken advantage of..."

Xiao Yunluo averted her eyes, puffed out her left cheek, and rebuked. "Why are you so narcissistic..."

"Narcissism is not a shortcoming. To be narcissistic is to love yourself. At least it is much better than those who like to abuse themselves."

"..."

"We're almost there."

Ye Anping did not continue and hurriedly controlled the divine traveling boat to slow down, lest he could not brake in time or brake too quickly and throw Xiao Yunluo out.

After flying for about another half hour, they arrived at the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect's mountain gate.

The mountain gate of the ***Black Star*** Sect was cut out of a single piece of spiritual jade and was engraved with a cloud pattern totem. The gate itself could be said to be a priceless spiritual object.

As for the gate of the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect...

"The gate is made of jade wood..." This was Xiao Yunluo's first time visiting a third-rate small sect like the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect. After seeing the mountain gate, her first reaction was one of surprise.

Ye Anping glanced at her and replied with a straight face. "It's more environmentally friendly. It's made of excess material."

"Environmentally friendly?"

"It means to revere nature..."

...

The *Heavenly Pavilion* of the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect.

Kong Yulan, who had just finished bathing, came out of the inner room while rubbing her head with a towel.

"Old man, how do you think our Ping is doing now? He hasn't written a letter in so long..."

Clad in a white robe, Ye Ao sat at his desk, meditating and rolling three jade spheres he had just bought yesterday. Hearing Kong Yulan's words, he let out a heavy sigh. "Yulan, you started asking this question since the second day that boy left, and you ask me every day..."

"Aren't you worried about him? He has never traveled far before. If something happens outside, I can't help him."

"Don't worry about that kid..."

Ye Ao couldn't help but recall the shock he felt when he saw his son come back with the storage bag of the demonic cultivator of the ***Magical Poison*** Sect.

"That kid is so astute that he doesn't seem to have been born from us."

With a start, Kong Yulan looked at him with narrowed eyes. "What do you mean? Do you have a wild fox outside?"

"Huh?!" Surprised, Ye Ao hurriedly waved his hand. " How... how is that possible? Yulan, haven't you seen? I am in the *Heavenly Pavilion* every day. How can I have time to go out and look for foxes?"

"Then, that means you want to look for it?"

"Ah... I..."

As Ye Ao was trying to clear up the misunderstanding, Xiaodie's voice came from outside the pavilion.

---"Patriarch!! Young Master is back!!"

Hearing this, Ye Ao and Kong Yulan immediately turned to look at the doors, and at the same time, with a gesture, one opened the door on the left, and the other opened the door on the right, letting Xiaodie in.

"That kid is back?!" "Ping is back?"

"Ah... yes." Xiao Die froze for a moment, then nodded, saying, "And there's a girl with him."

"A girl... Little Pei? Or that Feng Yu Die?"

Xiaodie shook her head and said with a smile, "Neither, it's a new girl."

"Hiss-- a new girl?" Ye Ao frowned, "This kid... must he bring a girl back whenever he goes out? Last time, he brought a girl with the Holy Emperor bloodline, what is it this time?"

Kong Yulan walked up to Xiaodie and asked curiously, "How is that girl dressed? How does she look? How is her cultivation?"

"... She is well-dressed and pretty... In terms of cultivation, I think that she has perfected *Qi Refining*."

"Seems to be the daughter of a good family." Kong Yulan held her chin and thought for a while. Then, she said, "Really, Ping, why didn't you tell me in advance? I didn't prepare anything..."

Ye Ao glanced at her speechlessly and asked, "So, where are they?"

"They should be here."

Before Xiaodie finished speaking, Ye Anping had already walked in with Xiao Yunluo.

When she saw Ye Ao and Kong Yulan, Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips nervously, then took a deep breath and cupped her hands.

"Greetings, Patriarch Ye and Madam Ye."

Before Ye Ao could utter a word, Kong Yulan arrived in front of Xiao Yunluo in a flash, taking her hand and bringing her face up close, almost as if she wanted to kiss her.

"Girl, what's your name? Which family are you from? How old are you? Who are your parents? What year, what month, and what day were you born? Do you have siblings?"

Frightened, Xiao Yunluo hesitated, with a confused look on her face.

"Well..."

Then, she looked at Ye Anping, asking for help with her eyes.

Ye Anping sighed helplessly and made the introductions. "Mom, this is the only daughter of the Immortal Matriarch Si Xuanji. Her name is Xiao Yunluo."

"Ah, so it's the Immortal Matriarch..." Kong Yulan nodded but suddenly felt something was wrong. After realizing it, she looked back at Xiao Yunluo with a horrified look on her face. "Huh?! Si... Si Xuanji??!!"

When he heard this, Ye Ao's hand that was rolling the jade spheres stopped instantly.

The three jade spheres slipped from his palm and landed on the desk. Then, they rolled over the edge of the table and fell. Hitting the floor with three thuds, they stopped at Ye Anping's feet.

Xiao Yunluo thought for a moment, then took out her identity card from her storage bag and handed it to Kong Yulan with both hands. "Yes, I am the daughter of the ***Black Star*** Sect Matriarch. My name is Xiao Yunluo."
