Heavenly Gate City , Western District .
After coming out of the Justice Division Office building, Xiao Yunluo trotted and asked questions all the way. She ran for nearly half an hour before finally finding the Flowing Moon Inn that Liang Zhu had told her about.
The inn had very ordinary decorations, and it also had a total of three floors. From the gate, people could be seen drinking and eating on the first floor. Most seemed to be just rogue cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.
Standing in front of the gate and looking up at the inn's name plaque, Xiao Yunluo felt extremely excited.
After almost a year, she was finally able to see Ye Anping, whom she had been thinking about day and night.
If Ye Anping saw that she went from the early stage to the late stage of Foundation Building in just one year, he would definitely be impressed by her. He might develop a favorable impression of her, and then gradually get closer to her...
She only hoped now that the relationship between Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue had remained unchanged.
Pei Lianxue was not too bright! There was absolutely no way that she and Ye Anping would officially become a cultivator couple so soon!
Letting her thoughts run wildly, a hint of red appeared on Xiao Yunluo's cheeks, and she hurriedly took out a small mirror from her storage bag, rearranged her four ponytails, and ruffled her bangs. She then took out one of her favorite hairpin and inserted it into her hair.
"Hoo--"
Xiao Yunluo let out a deep breath, deciding that it was better not to act too happy but rather show the majesty of her position as the Black Star Sect's Young Lady. Therefore, she puffed out her chest and raised her head with a dignified demeanor as she entered the front door of the inn and walked up to the counter.
"Boss, is there a cultivator named Ye Anping living here?"
"Ye Anping?" The shopkeeper paused and looked at Xiao Yunluo's clothes. Seeing that she looked like a decent person, he said, "No."
"Ah, then... Jiang Yu?"
"Nope."
"Ah... oh, right. He has deep purple eyes like sky crystals. His face is handsome and delicate. His hair is usually tied into a bun and is shiny black. He has sword-shaped eyebrows, and his lips are thin. He is very gentle and speaks very little..."
As she spoke, Xiao Yunluo's face turned red again.
The bearded shopkeeper looked confused. After thinking for a while, he replied, "Liang Xiao Liu."
"Eh?"
"Miss, the only one who has stayed in the hotel these days and fits your description is Liang Xiao Liu. Room No. 3, on the second floor."
"Thanks!"
Xiao Yunluo's eyes lit up, she tossed a few spirit stones to the shopkeeper, and quickly ran up the stairs in the inn to the second floor.
Arriving in front of the wooden door of Room No. 3, Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath and patted her cheeks before lightly knocking twice and directly pushing the door to enter.
Bang---
"Ye Anping! Why have you come to the Imperial Sect? I just talked to your big brother..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped.
There was no black-haired teenage boy in the room, but there was a silver-haired second idiot.
Feng Yu Die turned around with a roasted chicken leg in her mouth and looked at Xiao Yunluo. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows. "Wow! Sister Xiao?! Are you already at the late stage of Foundation Building ?"
Why is the second idiot here...
The previous excitement turned into bubbles and dissipated in an instant at the sight of Feng Yu Die.
Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath and asked, "Where is Ye... Ye Anping?"
"Young Master Ye? He said he wanted to go for a stroll in the market on West Street ." Feng Yu Die looked around and saw a plate of unfinished roasted chicken in front of her. "Sister Xiao, do you want some chicken?"
"No..."
Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips in disappointment. Since Ye Anping came with Feng Yu Die, Pei Lianxue must have come as well.
She originally thought that Ye Anping would come alone so that she could spend some time alone with Ye Anping, but now...
Precisely at this time, Pei Lianxue also came up from downstairs carrying a lot of things. Seeing Xiao Yunluo standing at the door, she greeted her. "Sister Xiao?"
"Ah..."
Xiao Yunluo was startled, like a cat that was caught stealing. She trembled and turned her head to look. Seeing that Pei Lianxue was already in the late stage of the Foundation Building , her eyes showed a little surprise. "Lianxue... are you in the late stage of the Foundation Building ?"
"Um."
Feng Yu Die, who was gnawing on a chicken leg in the room, hurried to flatter. "Sister Pei reached the late stage of Foundation Building half a year ago. She is very powerful, and advanced faster than me."
Pei Lianxue glanced into the room and saw Feng Yu Die about to run over, so with a flick of her finger, she closed the door, locking Feng Yu Die inside.
Xiao Yunluo looked Pei Lianxue up and down before asking, "Lianxue, how did you practice so fast? Don't you have triple spiritual roots?"
"Hmm~" Pei Lianxue shook her head slightly and replied, "Brother said that I am not a triple spiritual root, but a pure water spiritual root, so I can progress very fast. I also received the inheritance of the Yun Jian Immortal."
"Pure water spiritual root and Yun...Yun Jian Immortal's Legacy?"
"Yes, a lot of things happened while we were in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect." Pei Lianxue walked to the next room and motioned for Xiao Yunluo to follow her. "Yunluo, come. Let's have a leisurely chat."
Xiao Yunluo looked at Pei Lianxue's back and felt a little disappointed again. If Pei Lianxue was already in the late stage of Foundation Building , how could Ye Anping still be impressed by her now?
After Xiao Yunluo entered the room and sat down, Pei Lianxue pursed her lips and cheerfully said, "Yunluo, when my brother and I previously went back to the Hundred Lotus Sect, Mrs. Kong said we could marry. Brother also said that he would hold a wedding banquet with me when he finds an opportunity in the future."
Xiao Yunluo wasn't surprised to hear this but she felt inexplicably stifled. She clutched her skirt and nodded. "Then... congratulations to you."
"Thank you! Also, when I was in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, I practiced dual cultivation with my brother."
"... Eh?!"
"It's... the stuff in that book, ' Erotic Pictures of the Immortal Palace '." Pei Lianxue blushed a little, then asked in a low voice, "Sister Xiao, didn't you say this was going to get people killed or something?"
Xiao Yunluo opened her mouth, then closed it again. Looking at Pei Lianxue's face as red as an apple, pictures of Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue inexplicably appeared in her mind...
Her two small feet in the embroidered shoes lightly scratched the floor, and Xiao Yunluo asked with a blushing face, "How does it feel?"
"Well..." Pei Lianxue pursed her lips. "It's a warm feeling. It's hard to explain, but it's a little addictive. When Brother is afraid of hurting me, he moves very slowly. But Sister Xiao, didn't you say it would be harmful to Big Brother? He also said that we can't do that every day, which is too bad."
"... Well."
Pei Lianxue looked in confusion at Xiao Yunluo's somewhat unnatural expression and asked, "Yunluo, what's wrong?"
"Huh?" Dumbfounded, Xiao Yunluo raised her head with a forced smile. "What?"
"You seem unhappy?"
"Oh, no! I'm happy. Lianxue, haven't you always liked him? It's a good thing that you've become a couple, isn't it? I'm happy for you, but I'm just a little envious. Lianxue, you already have a cultivation partner... and such a good one."
"Yunluo, you are the Young Lady of the Black Star Sect, so you will definitely find a good cultivator partner as well."
"Oh... well." Xiao Yunluo pursed her mouth before standing up suddenly. "By the way, I heard from the second idiot that Ye Anping went to West Street . I'll go look for him."
"Shall I come with you?"
Xiao Yunluo hastily shook her head to refuse. "No need, I'll just go alone. I'll come back with him later, and we'll talk more."
