"Is he not back yet?" A white candle flickered on a rectangular table, its dim light casting distorted shadows that danced around the room.
At one end of the table sat a figure deeply cloaked in black, obscuring his features. A pale hand emerged from the voluminous robe, tapping rhythmically on the table, "Tap tap tap..." The sound was unsettling to anyone who heard it.
"I have already sent someone to look for him," the candlelight illuminated the face of the responder, revealing beautiful features. His long, watery eyes were hidden behind thick lashes, making it difficult to discern his emotions.
"Hmph! You told me that six months ago! And now? I still haven't seen him! How could Ruo An take such a fool as his disciple? To call you a genius spirit child is an utter disgrace! Handing him over to you has truly ruined him!"
The one being scolded like a child was none other than Duan Yu, the Grand Elder of the Outer Academy.
Seated in the shadows was Ni Zhi, once a Grand Elder of the Outer Academy and a celestial being who had descended from the heavenly realm. By seniority, he was even Duan Yu's master's uncle.
Duan Yu bit his lip, remaining silent as his hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
"Duan Yu, listen carefully. We want Li Xiaonan in our celestial realm. If you cannot turn him into one of us, then make him into a corpse; otherwise, he will eventually threaten our interests." Ni Zhi pressed down with his fingers, digging them deep into the tabletop.
Duan Yu nodded, his tone devoid of any emotion. "Elder Ni, please rest assured..."
"Rest assured my ass! When he returns, bring him to see me." Before Duan Yu could finish speaking, Ni Zhi interrupted him harshly.
With a sudden motion, Ni Zhi withdrew his hand, leaving five terrifying holes in the surface of the table before turning and vanishing into the darkness.
Duan Yu frowned as he exited the Founding Hall, which served as the Elder Hall of the Outer Academy.
Outside, the sun shone warmly, yet it could not dispel the gloom within his heart.
Xiao Nan, I’m sorry for what I must do for Auntie’s sake!
He turned back to glance at the Founding Hall, his eyes filled with reluctance.
"Aunt, you have been in seclusion for a hundred years. When will you come out so I can see you? Was my decision back then right or wrong? If it weren't for my stubbornness and my choice to disperse my energy to stay by your side, I would have become an immortal by now!"
That old demon, Ni Zhi, wouldn’t dare to speak of you like that!
Duan Yu bit his lip in frustration, a metallic taste filling his mouth, which brought him back to his senses. He suppressed the unwillingness and anger in his heart and coldly withdrew his gaze.
"Master! What do you think?" Li Xiaonan said, lightly fanning himself with the Carefree Fan, a proud smile on his face.
Qing Yu Year stood there with a stern expression, wrapped in an embroidered quilt that covered his lower body, exposing his well-toned upper body, coldly presenting himself for viewing.
Yu Jizi bent over, closely examining Qing Yu Year’s abdomen as he circled around him, exclaiming in wonder, "Li Xiaoyang, you wouldn’t be tricking Master, would you? Are you sure you didn’t switch him out?"
"Cough... cough... Master! Am I that kind of person?" Li Xiaonan nearly choked on his own saliva.
Yu Jizi chuckled awkwardly and reached out to pinch the muscle on Qing Yu Year’s arm.
Qing Yu Year thought to himself how pitiful he was and then looked at Li Xiaonan with a hint of grievance. "Master, could you please give me some clothes to wear?"
"What’s the rush? I've already notified Jingnian; he’ll bring you some clothes shortly. For now, let Grandmaster take a good look!" Li Xiaonan plopped down onto an intricately carved mahogany chair.
Yu Jizi cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "Li Xiaoyang, what are you talking about? It’s not just looking; I’m checking if he’s healthy! You really have a good disciple! Sigh, Master can rest easy now..."
Li Xiaonan clicked his tongue; that crazy old man was probably thinking about Transcend Tribulation again! It was better not to tell him about the Seven-Level Pagoda and opening the mountain gate to avoid unnecessary worry. However, seeing how solid Master’s foundation was, Transcend Tribulation should be no problem.
"Father! Father?" Qingjing Year entered the Azure Phoenix Hall with a young eunuch but couldn’t find Qing Yu Year after searching around.
With a muffled grunt, an air of imperial authority returned to him, and he furrowed his brow, saying, "You fool! Can't you see my master and the Grandmaster here? This is not a place for you to make such a racket!"
Little Year stared blankly at the man speaking, who appeared to be only a few years older than him.
No… it can't be… has Grandpa turned back into a youth? But he doesn’t look much like he did when he was young…
"Alright, Little Year, those who cultivate do not concern themselves with such trivialities. You and Jingnian should go outside first. Take this Vast Starry Sky with you and prepare some things. Come back to the Outer Academy with me in three months."
Though Li Xiaonan said this, his eyes remained fixed on Yu Jizi, who quietly held a cup of fragrant tea without any reaction.
How strange! Ling Kui said Mad Master had been waiting for me in Qingyu City for several months; there’s no reason he wouldn’t know about the Vast Starry Sky. Why isn’t he curious at all?
"Li Xiaoyang, stop staring like that; your eyeballs are going to pop out!" Sunlight fell on Yu Jizi's disheveled hair, making it look fluffy and bright. He lowered his eyes, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
This enormous Storage Belt was indeed created by my disciple; ha ha!
I, Yu Jizi, have such a good reputation for taking in such a formidable disciple!
If that crazy elder finds out… heh heh… I won’t tell him! I’ll wait until one day he discovers the truth himself; it’ll drive him mad! Ha ha ha! Let him bully my disciple!
"Hehehe…" Yu Jizi couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Master, please stop laughing; it’s kind of embarrassing..."
Yu Jizi waved his hand and said, "I’m just happy! I’ve taken in such a good disciple!" He wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes.
Li Xiaonan was also very pleased, grinning foolishly; it seemed that he would be associated with silly smiles for the rest of his life.
The night was always perfect for mischief. Under the cover of darkness, Li Xiaonan pulled Ling Kui into the room.
"Smells so good!" Li Xiaonan exclaimed, planting a kiss on Ling Kui's fair cheek. It was cool and refreshing, igniting a spark of desire.
"Ice Maiden hasn't interacted with anyone else lately; she's been with us the whole time," Ling Kui said, her cheeks flushed, though her voice remained icy.
Li Xiaonan sighed and couldn't help but frown.
It had been almost a year since Qing Yu Year began, and this immortal had far too much patience! Or was he just being stubborn? Did he really not want the Heaven-Defying Mirror anymore?
"Have you talked to any other girls about this?"
Ling Kui shook her head, gently rubbing Li Xiaonan's brow with her fingertip. "Mo Yu and Lu Ni Chang are simple-minded, so I didn't mention it to them. I just told them that there are already enough girls around you, and we can't create more opportunities for you... um... so they haven't been very nice to Ice Maiden..."
Li Xiaonan playfully pinched Ling Kui's nose. "Smart! Oh, Ling'er! What am I going to do with you? Every time I'm alone with you, I can't help myself... look, even my second brother is getting hard again..."
Ling Kui's face turned crimson. Before she could respond, Li Xiaonan pulled her into his embrace. "Ah... it's fine, it's fine. Your husband can wait..."
I don't want to wait! I want to push Ling Kui down!
I'm sorry, Xiao Nan. Once I find my master and remove the reverse scales, I'll give myself to you; right now, I can only hurt you...
One wants to give but dares not; the other wants but dares not take.
You might wonder if Li Xiaonan's Heavenly Gang Golden Body would fear those few small reverse scales? This teaches us that honesty is essential between couples! Yes!
The author has stepped away; please don't block my view of the novel!
Flowers bloom and wither, and in the past six months, Li Xiaonan has accomplished several things.
The first: The Taobao Store no longer sells only Vast Starry Sky; it now also offers Big Brother Phone! This communication device, once released, was like mist, rain, and wind. Li Xiaonan decided to hold an auction, attracting many Cultivators. He stayed behind the scenes and sold the only three pairs of Big Brother Phones on the spot, totaling over ten thousand High-Quality Spirit Stones, leaving Yu Jizi astonished and frantic.
He directly snatched a pair, claiming he wanted to let Huang Yan study it.
Li Xiaonan chuckled; it seemed that these two old fellows were about to get lucky.
Next, Li Xiaonan came up with a clever move: he stopped selling! He posted a notice stating that they would be available for sale at the beginning of next year, with only one hundred pairs up for grabs on a first-come, first-served basis, priced at eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight High-Quality Spirit Stones per pair.
Although the price made people gasp, many Rich Persons vowed to secure the first pair in the coming year.
That was one.
Secondly, Vast Starry Sky began mass production, utilizing an assembly line. The final and most confidential engraving work was entrusted to Dai Lizi and An Quan Tao. As a result, these two continued to stay in Qingyu City.
Thirdly, Langya Sect—rather, Martial Soul Sect—also started recruiting children. Ling Xingyao was in full charge, and An Quan Tao would occasionally entertain the kids when he had nothing better to do.
After completing these tasks, Li Xiaonan energetically led everyone back to the Outer Academy.
“Master! Is that my adoptive father?” Li Xiaonan rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
In front of the Outer Academy stood several people, most of whom were familiar faces: Huang Yan, Bai Fengfeng, and Duan Yu. There was also a stranger whom Li Xiaonan did not recognize; he looked…
Li Xiaonan unconsciously glanced at Qing An sitting at the tail end. After half a year, his barren land had become lush and green; his delicate bangs framed his face even more… adorably…
Li Xiaonan took another look at the stranger in the purple robe—truly a good-looking cross-dresser! Quick! Post it online so everyone can praise him!
It was definitely Lin Pingzhi after his castration, his handsome face paired with a delicate aura that made one feel... nauseous...
It seemed my orientation was still normal! Strange... why couldn't I tell what level of cultivation he had? Hmph! Look at my Fiery Eyes! Goodness! My Calcium Oxide, Celestial Aura, an immortal?
Yu Jizi chuckled, "Your adoptive father is quite impressive. Remember! Be a bit more polite later."
Li Xiaonan nodded blankly and asked, "Master, who is the person standing next to my adoptive father?"
"You must be talking about Elder Ni Zhi? He is your adoptive father's master's uncle. I heard he is now a Third-Stage Loose Immortal."
Li Xiaonan's mouth twitched. Scattered Immortal? Scattered Immortal my foot! A genuine immortal for sure! If I hadn't cultivated my Fiery Eyes, I would have been fooled right now!
Well! Look at you, Outer Academy, even an immortal has come! Are they friend or foe?
Li Xiaonan unconsciously glanced at the Ice Maiden. She still wore her veil, sitting quietly; it seemed he hadn't spoken to her in the past six months.
The Ice Maiden sensed Li Xiaonan's gaze, slightly raised her head, and for a moment, her eyes sparkled with a watery brilliance.
Goodness, she’s tempting me again!
Li Xiaonan lowered his head, slowly closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined; one cannot escape their fate! This suddenly appearing immortal was at least his adoptive father's master's uncle; he should be considered a friend, right?
