"Um, you're saying someone at the Hall of Enlightenment disappeared out of thin air?"
Ye Yun was somewhat surprised when Feng Qingxian informed him of this news.
The Hall of Enlightenment was located within Mount Chaofeng.
Mount Chaofeng was currently the core and most important place in the entire Celestial Domain, with significant emphasis on its defenses.
For someone to be spirited away from here unnoticed, even a hundred-step Heavenly God would absolutely not be able to accomplish it!
Ye Yun frowned, then asked, "By the way, who went missing?"
Feng Qingxian pondered for a moment and slowly replied, "It seems to be a young girl named Chen Yan'er."
"Hmm? Her?"
"What, you know her?"
"Sort of, I've had some interaction with her."
Ye Yun was even more astonished now.
If it were someone else, he might not be too familiar with them.
But this particular person, to whom he had bestowed a divine artifact and who had helped him choose the wedding venue, was someone he knew very well.
Ye Yun frowned and asked, "You say she's missing, have they searched the surroundings?"
The Hall of Enlightenment housed the most talented geniuses of the Celestial Domain. The disappearance of someone from here was no small matter.
Feng Qingxian nodded, but sighed and said, "Forget about the vicinity, the entire Celestial Domain has been searched thoroughly, and even the void surrounding the Celestial Domain has been combed. There's no trace of her."
"This..."
This outcome made Ye Yun concerned.
In fact, it seemed highly likely that the person was no longer in the Celestial Domain.
However, regardless, since she was a person of the Celestial Domain and had some past connection with him, he naturally couldn't just let it go.
"Then later, I'll talk to Lingluo and the others and ask them to help search outside. No matter what, we have to find her."
"Then I'll trouble you."
"Don't worry, I will definitely find her!"
"Mm..."
Feng Qingxian smiled faintly, quite satisfied with Ye Yun's responsible attitude.
At this moment, she and Ye Yun were sitting in the garden on Azure Cloud Peak.
Not far away, Lin Xueyan and the other disciples of Ye Yun were playfully interacting and being affectionate.
To be honest, the closeness between girls was quite pleasing to the eye.
Looking at the girls playing happily, and then at Ye Yun, Feng Qingxian put down her teacup and said with some emotion, "You know, you're quite the winner in life."
"Uh, what do you mean?"
Ye Yun was taken aback. Feng Qingxian looked at him and slowly said, "What else could it be? You have so many lively, adorable, and exceptionally talented disciples, you yourself have such high talent, and a beautiful and thoughtful wife. Isn't that what a winner in life is?"
"If you put it that way, then it seems to be..."
This time, Ye Yun did not deny Feng Qingxian's assessment.
Indeed, looking back, his life was quite blissful.
So much so that Ye Yun inexplicably thought it would be even better if he and Xingwu had a child...
Although he didn't know why, perhaps it was due to his cultivation being too high.
He had tried his best, and Xingwu just couldn't get pregnant...
However, he also knew that such matters couldn't be rushed. In any case, he and Xingwu had plenty of time together.
Just then, Feng Qingxian seemed to recall something and asked, "Right, what are your plans regarding Xinglian?"
"Uh, why did you suddenly think of her?"
Ye Yun was rather surprised.
Then, Feng Qingxian said meaningfully, "Of course, who wouldn't be curious about such gossip? After all, she was once the arrogant Hall Master of the Way of Heaven."
"Isn't she going to be your concubine? The thought of her being tamed by you one day seems quite interesting."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun's mouth twitched slightly.
Tamed...
What did she take him for?
Did he seem like the kind of person who enjoyed doing such things?
Finally, he coughed lightly and said, "Regarding her, I plan to let fate decide, go with the flow..."
"Go with the flow? Are you sure you're not avoiding it?"
Feng Qingxian was very intelligent, and having interacted with Ye Yun a lot, she was very clear about his little schemes.
In fact, Ye Yun did feel like his thoughts had been exposed, and his expression became somewhat awkward.
"It seems I guessed right?"
Feng Qingxian took a sip of tea, smiling playfully.
Seeing this, Ye Yun knew he couldn't escape and said helplessly, "Rather than avoiding it, it's more like I'm conflicted."
"Conflicted? She's practically offering herself, what's there to be conflicted about? Don't tell me you can't handle it?"
Feng Qingxian's tone was calm, but her words were extremely sarcastic.
Ye Yun's eyelids twitched. Could such words really be spoken by a 37-degree Celsius carbon-based lifeform?
"Who said I can't!"
At such a time, Ye Yun, as a man, naturally couldn't stand for it.
If it weren't for the restriction of some mysterious power, he would have loved to prove himself on the spot.
Feng Qingxian was unfazed, raising an eyebrow lightly. "If that's not the reason, then what else is there to be conflicted about?"
Ye Yun fell silent for a long time, finally sighing, "I'm conflicted about whether it's right to be a 'sea king'."
"Sea king? What does that mean?"
Clearly, Feng Qingxian didn't understand this term.
Ye Yun had to explain. "You can think of it as someone who is with many people of the opposite sex at the same time."
"..."
Unexpectedly, this sentence stunned Feng Qingxian into silence, and she even forgot the teacup she was holding.
After a while, she finally understood.
Then, she couldn't help but let out a suppressed chuckle.
Ye Yun was somewhat helpless. "What are you laughing at? Is there something so funny?"
Feng Qingxian looked at him meaningfully, neither entirely mocking nor anything else, and said, "I didn't realize you were still so pure at heart."
"..."
Ye Yun spread his hands and said righteously, "Pure? I'm being chaste and self-disciplined."
However, this did not change Feng Qingxian's smile.
She appeared thoughtful and then slowly said, "But speaking of which, it's true. Back then, when it was just one step away from pushing you down, you still seemed to be resisting. Fortunately, you didn't break down in the end."
"..."
Ye Yun hadn't expected her to bring up something so embarrassing from back then.
His eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but retort, "Miss Qingxian, can we just throw this embarrassing matter to the wind?"
Every time he recalled the scene from back then, he felt genuinely depressed.
It could be said that it was from that time onwards that the shadow of "breaking down" lingered in his heart.
"What, does it bother you?"
Feng Qingxian's beautiful eyes gazed at Ye Yun gently, asking meaningfully.
At this moment, Ye Yun hadn't thought too much about it. He shrugged and said, "Rather than bothered, it's just that the impression it left on me was too deep."
"Is that so..."
Feng Qingxian nodded. For some reason, Ye Yun always felt that Miss Qingxian's gaze towards him carried a hint of aggression, making him shudder involuntarily...
