In reality, Ye Yun had spent a full three days in the Nirvana realm.
Since there had been no news throughout this time, Fang Zhiwei had gone to ask Feng Qingxian, but she refused to tell her where her master was, making her exceptionally worried.
Fortunately, she had just learned that he had appeared from the Empress Palace, so she had hurried to find him.
However, the first sentence Fang Zhiwei spoke made Ye Yun’s eyelids twitch, and he gave her a well-intentioned reminder.
“Zhiwei, remember not to casually criticize older women for being old.”
“Ah? Why?”
“Just remember it, it won’t do you any harm.”
“Oh… okay.”
Only then did Ye Yun breathe a sigh of relief. The realization had naturally come from Xing Wu…
Afterward, Fang Zhiwei anxiously inquired,
“Master, what have you been doing these past few days? Why haven’t you come out?”
“Uh… these past few days, I’ve been busy with important matters in a special space.”
Ye Yun didn’t want to tell the truth directly, for fear of corrupting Fang Zhiwei.
As for the fact that they might soon have a new master’s wife.
Ye Yun planned to gather all his disciples for an official announcement after Xing Wu returned.
Fang Zhiwei, however, did not press further and said with relief,
“So that’s how it is. I thought you were going to be eaten by the Heavenly Phoenix Empress!”
“What kind of thoughts are in that little head of yours?”
Ye Yun flicked her forehead, saying helplessly,
“It’s just that she had something to ask of this master, so I went along.”
Inwardly, Ye Yun felt a bead of sweat, thinking how accurate this girl’s intuition was.
In a certain sense, he had indeed almost been “eaten” by her…
Fang Zhiwei was unaware of this, and after confirming he was truly alright, she happily leaned closer.
“Mhm, it’s great that you’re okay!”
But before she could be happy for long, as she approached Ye Yun, her face suddenly showed a look of vigilance.
“Wait, Master, are you hiding something from your disciple?”
“Hmm? Why do you say that?”
Ye Yun was slightly taken aback, was this girl’s intuition so accurate?
He saw Fang Zhiwei staring at him intently, like a wife catching her husband cheating.
“It’s because there’s another very strong scent of a woman on you, besides that Empress!”
“You must have hugged another woman just now, right?!”
“Uh… actually…”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun’s heart skipped a beat. Was this girl too sensitive in this regard?
Driven by instinct, Ye Yun’s guilty conscience immediately started thinking of ways to cover it up.
But a moment later, Ye Yun came to his senses. Wait… I didn’t do anything wrong, why should I be guilty!
Ye Yun decided to be direct: “That’s right, this master hugged someone goodbye not long ago. Is that a problem?”
However, Fang Zhiwei looked at him with anticipation.
“No problem, but I want a hug too, and if possible, to be lifted up high!”
She blinked her big eyes, full of expectation, and asked consecutively.
“Can I? Can I?”
“You’re not a child anymore, you silly girl.”
“But I am a child!”
At this point, seeing that he was still hesitant, Fang Zhiwei then crouched down, buried her little head between her legs, and began to sob softly.
“Actually, my father passed away when I was very young.”
“And you are very much like him, so I wanted to re-experience the feeling of being held up as a child.”
“Can’t you… even fulfill this small request of mine…”
“It seems I’m truly an unwanted child…”
After speaking, her sobbing intensified, and every word perfectly struck Ye Yun’s heart.
It made him inexplicably feel a strong sense of guilt, as if he had done something unforgivable.
As a result, he said helplessly,
“Alright, alright, I didn’t say no. Get up now.”
If he let her continue sobbing like this, Ye Yun felt it would be bad for his heart.
Seeing that he had agreed, Fang Zhiwei, with her face still buried in her legs, couldn’t help but show a triumphant smile.
“The pitiful maiden’s sob strategy, perfectly successful!!!”
She stood up and excitedly extended her hands to Ye Yun.
There was no choice; Ye Yun kept his word and picked her up from the ground.
As for lifting her high, it was omitted as it might be considered indecent.
Instead, Ye Yun took out his Divine Abyss Immortal Sword and took her on a quick flight around Mount Chaofeng.
“Ah, it’s so beautiful here!!!”
Carried by Ye Yun, Fang Zhiwei enjoyed the speed of the wind and admired the beautiful scenery that streaked past below, her eyes seeming to sparkle with endless affection.
In a paradise, flying swords in hand with her beloved master, enjoying the beauty of life.
This was what she had pursued for over a decade, and now it was finally achieved!
“Living… freedom… it’s truly wonderful!”
Watching Fang Zhiwei, who was shouting into the wind with a face full of joy, Ye Yun couldn’t help but smile.
…
After becoming an honorary elder of Mount Chaofeng, Ye Yun’s wandering in the Celestial Domain finally came to an end.
Ye Yun summoned Lin Xueyan and the other women, as well as Xiao Xue and Long Yi, and together they transformed the new Qingyun Peak into a habitable stronghold.
For a period afterward, Ye Yun welcomed back the familiar and peaceful daily life of the sect.
Ye Yun’s daily activities were cultivation and guiding Lin Xueyan and the others in their cultivation. While it seemed incredibly monotonous, for him, it was already an immense happiness.
Especially seeing that Fang Zhiwei and Lin Xueyan got along well, it made him feel even more at ease.
For instance, at this moment, under the red maple tree in the distance.
Lin Xueyan seemed to be asking Fang Zhiwei for advice on something, and afterward, the two hit it off, engaging in an extremely engrossing conversation.
Of course, if he had used his senses to eavesdrop slightly, he wouldn’t have felt so at ease…
Beneath the red maple tree, Lin Xueyan and Fang Zhiwei sat on the ground.
“By the way, junior sister, I finished reading that book ‘The Diary of a Master-Impacting Girl and a Dominating Master’ last time. It was so good! Do you have anything similar?”
Lin Xueyan’s face was full of anticipation, as if she had become a little addicted.
Fang Zhiwei’s eyes lit up when she found a fellow enthusiast, and she said,
“Of course! Come, come, here’s another one!”
Fang Zhiwei smiled and took out a book, handing it to her senior sister.
Lin Xueyan curiously flipped it open and was surprised when she saw the name recorded on the title page.
“Hmm… Ten Thousand Times the Return, My Nine Disciples Adore Their Master?”
Lin Xueyan scratched her head and said, “This title… feels so powerful.”
Fang Zhiwei nodded repeatedly and said with a smile,
“Mhm, yes!”
“This book, ‘Ten Thousand Times the Return, My Nine Disciples Adore Their Master,’ was written by a supreme deity from ancient times. It is said that he was also particularly handsome.”
“It tells the story of a master and his nine female disciples who adored him.”
Lin Xueyan looked at the content and said thoughtfully, “It seems very good to read.”
“Of course it’s good!”
Fang Zhiwei then sighed and said, “Unfortunately, due to some people causing trouble, it was recently banned from the market.”
“Although it may be put back on sale soon, due to the bookstore’s circumstances, the title had to be changed.”
“Although it can still be bought at the time, I still prefer the title ‘Ten Thousand Times the Return, My Nine Disciples Adore Their Master.’”
Lin Xueyan, not understanding, still nodded.
“Hmm… it feels like a very helpless story.”
“Yes…”
Fang Zhiwei agreed, but then smiled and said,
“In any case, just keep reading. The later plot will be even more exciting and unexpected!”
Lin Xueyan nodded in agreement to her junior sister’s words and then picked up the new book and began to read.
Lin Xueyan read the female disciples’ stories with an extremely serious attitude, studying how they pursued their master…
As for Ye Yun, who was far away, he was unaware of all this. Seeing her reading so attentively, he couldn’t help but exclaim,
“When did this girl start liking to read? But this interest is quite good. I’ll borrow a book from them to read another day.”
