The Old Celestial Master watched as Ma Yi and the others left, confirming that the person in question was indeed the leader, Kei Yunqing. After pondering for a moment, he decided to follow them.
Kei Yunqing and Sera were already engaged in conversation outside the venue.
"You're finally back, dear," Sera said affectionately.
After a while, Sera noticed the curious Mermaid Master observing their interaction.
"Who is she? A sister?" Sera asked, intrigued.
Kei Yunqing nodded. "Sort of. This is the Mermaid Master, Anqi."
"The Mermaid Master? Is she a mermaid? She doesn't look like one," Sera remarked, circling Anqi. Aside from her beauty, there didn't seem to be anything particularly mermaid-like about her.
Kei Yunqing chuckled at Sera's reaction. "Anqi is indeed a mermaid; she can breathe on land. I transformed her tail into legs, which is why you can't tell."
"Oh, I see," Sera replied, nodding in understanding.
At that moment, Ma Yi and the others arrived as well.
"Hello again!" they greeted warmly.
There was another round of affectionate exchanges. Thankfully, there were no other people around to cast judgmental glances at them. The group spent some time reminiscing.
The Old Celestial Master approached them. "Haha, so this is the leader of Yunqing Sect?"
Kei Yunqing turned to him. "You must be the Old Celestial Master? I am Kei Yunqing, the leader of Yunqing Sect."
The Old Celestial Master nodded. "Indeed, it’s you! When I saw several members of your sect arrive, I suspected it was you."
Kei Yunqing glanced at the several girls with a smile. "I went out for a bit; they haven't seen me in a while and were quite excited."
"Haha, I understand! May I ask if Kong Yunqing can say a few words?"
"Of course," Kei Yunqing replied.
Hearing Kei Yunqing's agreement, the Old Celestial Master led him aside for a more private conversation.
Sera and the others glanced at Old Celestial Master and Kei Yunqing's retreating figures, remaining silent. They didn't think much about Kei Yunqing's safety; after all, he was invincible, and even Old Celestial Master couldn't harm him.
What did Old Celestial Master want to say? Kei Yunqing and Old Celestial Master had already entered a small grove, where no traces of humanity could be found.
Old Celestial Master stopped as he noticed Kei Yunqing had halted as well. He simply wanted to ask what Kei Yunqing thought about the forces in the Otherworld.
Hearing Old Celestial Master's words, Kei Yunqing shook his head. There was no need for Old Celestial Master to beat around the bush; he understood what was on his mind. It was nothing more than concern over the formidable members of the Yunqing Sect and the potential for trouble.
"Ha! Young people are indeed clever," Old Celestial Master said with a laugh. "I'll be straightforward then; I do have such concerns. I can sense a threat from every one of your Yunqing Sect members. Although I don't feel threatened by you, your cultivation level must be higher than mine, right?"
If someone else from the Otherworld had been nearby, they would have surely dropped their jaws at the mention of someone surpassing Old Celestial Master's cultivation level—such a feat was extraordinary!
Kei Yunqing did not deny Old Celestial Master's words. "You needn't worry; the people of Yunqing Sect are not villains. They are merely a group of girls with some power."
Upon hearing this, even with his good temperament, Old Celestial Master couldn't help but feel a twitch in his expression. "Some power? Power on par with mine is merely 'some power'?"
"Am I just an old man with 'some power' then?" he retorted. "I would appreciate it if you could teach them to refrain from causing chaos in the Otherworld. After all, I would risk my life to eliminate any threats!"
With that, Old Celestial Master's aura erupted, pressing down on Kei Yunqing.
In response, Kei Yunqing casually erected a barrier to contain Old Celestial Master's aura so it wouldn't disturb others.
Kei Yunqing smiled lightly. "Old Celestial Master, don't think so negatively. The Yunqing Sect is just having some fun; we might even settle things within a month."
"Hmm?" Old Celestial Master retracted his aura, looking at Kei Yunqing with some confusion. "What do you mean by that?"
Kei Yunqing smiled mysteriously. "It means we might just disappear without a trace, and we may never meet again."
Old Celestial Master gazed deeply at Kei Yunqing. Although he didn't fully understand his words, he sensed they were significant.
Kei Yunqing continued without elaborating further. "Also, regarding Zhang Chulan's situation, the Yunqing Sect will not intervene. If we encounter him, we will willingly concede."
"Oh? Then I thank the Yunqing Sect for their assistance."
Old Celestial Master had no doubts about Kei Yunqing's feelings for Zhang Chulan. With the help of the Yunqing Sect, they could eliminate a few troublesome opponents for Zhang Chulan. It was just a small matter; did Old Celestial Master still have any questions? No, no, let’s go back and watch the competition. The matches of the younger generation still have some excitement to them.
Old Celestial Master no longer regarded Kei Yunqing as merely a young person. Although he looked youthful, with such strength, even if he were genuinely young, he could not be considered just a youth.
Kong Yunqing nodded upon hearing Old Celestial Master's words. He had not seen many others fight; at most, he had watched battles in anime. However, he knew that battles in anime often felt somewhat trivial, and witnessing a real fight would be much more impactful.
“Great! I happen to want to see it too,” he said.
Kei Yunqing brought Old Celestial Master to the entrance of the venue in an instant. Old Celestial Master felt as if the world spun around him before they arrived at the door. Was this a Qi Men escape technique? No, it shouldn’t be; it couldn’t be a talisman either. Old Celestial Master gave Kei Yunqing a deep look.
“Ha ha, what a remarkable skill! Let’s go in,” he said.
“It’s just a little trick,” Kei Yunqing replied casually. He released an envelope with wings and followed Old Celestial Master into the audience area. The winged envelope was a form of communication magic that would fly to the person Kei Yunqing designated.
Before long, the envelope reached Sera and the others who were waiting at their location. Sera took the envelope and opened it, and Kei Yunqing's voice came from within.
“Old Celestial Master and I have arrived at Ren Jinli’s side. If you have matches, go ahead and compete; if not, you can come over here.”
Sera exchanged glances with the others. “Well, Lilu Lu should be arriving soon. You go prepare; we’ll all head over to Old Celestial Master.”
“Okay!”
