Gu Xun'er left quietly, causing no ripples in the Gu Clan.
Gu Yuan had left a fallback measure on her, so there was no need to worry about safety.
"How has Mr. Han been doing for the past year or so?"
On the flying spirit boat, Gu Xun'er removed her disguise. Her appearance and temperament were absolutely beautiful. Even walking in the streets of Ancient Saint City, she would be an extremely dazzling existence.
If her identity were ordinary, it would be fine, but she was the eldest miss of the Gu Clan. It wouldn't be good if she caused a sensation.
"Experienced quite a few things. Overall, it's been alright."
Han Feng looked into the distance, reviewing the gains of the past year or so.
Apart from that one blemish, it should be considered complete, right?
Lin Xian'er lowered her head, seemingly thinking of something as well.
"What about you?"
"Me? Stayed in the Gu Clan. Everything was very stable and plain."
Gu Xun'er said softly.
"Plain, yet you still broke through to Dou Ancestor?"
Han Feng laughed.
Lin Xian'er looked up in surprise at Xun'er.
Wait, Xun'er... you're a Dou Ancestor?
What happened to good sisters walking together?
Why did you suddenly get ahead?
Xun'er noticed Lin Xian'er's surprised gaze and smiled, "Sister Xian'er, what about you? Where have you been with Mr. Han for the past year or so?"
"This past year, I haven't been following Master."
Lin Xian'er glanced at Han Feng.
"I was training in the Star Sea Archipelago and the Eastern Xuan Continent."
Gu Xun'er looked at Lin Xian'er in surprise.
"So you went out to adventure on the continent?"
"Did Mr. Han make you go?"
Lin Xian'er nodded.
She knew it.
Gu Xun'er snickered inwardly.
Given Sister Xian'er's temperament, she wouldn't leave Mr. Han voluntarily.
But Sister Xian'er was getting "old" too, so Mr. Han definitely "drove" her out to be independent.
"Sister, why do I feel like you're so happy?"
Lin Xian'er said faintly.
"Seeing you, Sister, I'm naturally happy."
Gu Xun'er responded.
"Traveling outside, did you meet any interesting people or things?"
She continued to inquire.
"No interesting people, but quite a few things."
Gu Xun'er asked curiously, "Oh? What interesting things?"
"Killing people to seize treasures, burning bones and scattering ashes."
Gu Xun'er: ...
Why did my back suddenly feel cold?
"Sister, is adventuring outside so dangerous?"
"It's alright."
Han Feng saw the two girls starting to chat and didn't disturb them, heading to the cockpit to steer the airship.
Seeing Han Feng walk away, Lin Xian'er pulled Gu Xun'er aside.
"Sister?"
Gu Xun'er looked at Lin Xian'er in surprise.
"What's so mysterious?"
"Xun'er, let me ask you."
Lin Xian'er looked at Gu Xun'er seriously.
"Do you like my Master?"
"Ah?"
Gu Xun'er covered her mouth in surprise.
"Sister, why do you ask that?"
Seeing Gu Xun'er's surprised look, the suspicion in Lin Xian'er's eyes faded slightly.
"Listening to your father, I always felt like the way he looked at my Master had a meaning of selection and examination."
"Really?"
Lin Xian'er's gaze condensed and swept over instantly.
"Uh... I didn't mean that."
Gu Xun'er waved her hand slightly.
"I admire Mr. Han very much."
"That's good."
Lin Xian'er said, "My Master already has someone he likes."
"Who?"
"Uh..."
Lin Xian'er waved her hand.
"I can't tell you this."
"Then I'll go ask Mr. Han."
Gu Xun'er's eyes rolled.
"Hey, wait!"
Lin Xian'er hurriedly stopped Gu Xun'er.
"How can you ask Master directly about this kind of thing!"
"Then tell me, Sister."
Lin Xian'er felt like she was riding a tiger and couldn't get off.
"Could it be... Sister is reporting false military intelligence?"
"I'm not!"
Lin Xian'er pulled Gu Xun'er to sit down, thinking that Xun'er was now a Dou Ancestor expert, so she really couldn't stop her forcefully.
"Xun'er, why are you asking this?"
"Curiosity."
"Good sister, I beg you not to be curious."
"Good sister, I can't help but be curious."
The two stared at each other.
Lin Xian'er's willow brows were inverted, and her eyes were wide and round, as if she wanted to use her authority as an older sister to force Xun'er not to ask anymore.
Gu Xun'er narrowed her eyes, looking at Lin Xian'er slyly like a little fox.
"Sister, could it be..."
Lin Xian'er's heart skipped a beat.
Bad.
The offensive and defensive positions have switched.
"Could I be what?"
"Nothing."
Gu Xun'er didn't say the bold answer in her heart.
If she said it, the boat of friendship between the sisters might capsize.
Seeing Gu Xun'er stop at the right point and not continue asking, Lin Xian'er breathed a sigh of relief.
This girl Xun'er didn't play by the rules.
She actually wanted to ask Master directly!
How could that be allowed!
Master had educated her seriously.
If he knew that her little thoughts hadn't changed and she was even using them to bluff, heaven knew how long he would drive her out again?
"Alright, Xun'er, I'm just simply reminding you, no other meaning. You rest well first, I'm going to cultivate."
Gu Xun'er looked at Lin Xian'er's retreating figure, and a golden flame flashed in her smiling eyes.
"Sister, other things are negotiable, but on this matter, I won't yield to you."
The airship sped across the sky of the Central Plains. Han Feng casually constructed stable spatial wormholes and jumped occasionally, quickly arriving at the territory of the Flower Sect in the Western Region of the Central Plains.
Among the mountains below, flowers were blooming brilliantly.
A patch of red, a patch of purple.
Embellished in the emerald green, bright and lively.
Some Flower Sect disciples were picking flowers in the mountains. They suddenly felt the sunlight above their heads blocked and looked up at the sky in surprise.
Han Feng put away the flying spirit boat. Gu Xun'er and Lin Xian'er, one treading on the void and the other with wings spread on her back, stood on his two sides.
"Who goes there!"
The Flower Sect disciples immediately became vigilant, drew their long swords, and waited in full array.
"No need to panic."
From the Flower Sect Main Hall, a beautiful figure with noble temperament flew out and soon arrived in front of Han Feng.
"Sect Master!"
The Flower Sect disciples below recognized the newcomer, hurriedly sheathed their long swords, and bowed respectfully.
"Feng'er, you came."
Hua Yu looked at the person in front of her and said with a smile.
"Aunt Hua."
Han Feng greeted.
"This is my disciple, Lin Xian'er."
"I know, met her last time."
Hua Yu smiled friendly at Lin Xian'er.
Lin Xian'er returned the greeting respectfully.
"This is a junior of mine, Gu Xun'er."
Gu Xun'er also bowed slightly to Hua Yu.
This was Mr. Han's elder; etiquette could not be neglected.
"Hello."
Seeing these two girls both looking quite exquisite, standing beside Feng'er, they appeared very compatible.
A pity, they were all juniors...
"Did you come to find Qing Yun this time?"
Hua Yu guessed.
"Exactly."
Han Feng smiled slightly.
"Besides that, I also have good news to tell Aunt Hua."
Hua Yu's eyes moved slightly.
"What good news?"
She had a vague premonition in her heart but didn't dare to show joy, fearing this joy would fall through in the next second.
Hua Yu looked at Han Feng hopefully, expecting the other party to give the answer she wanted.
Han Feng nodded gently and gave the answer Hua Yu wanted: "Teacher has been found."
"Really!"
Hua Yu stepped forward excitedly.
"He... how is he now?"
"Already resurrected, currently in pretty good condition."
"Resurrected..."
A heartfelt joyful smile appeared on Hua Yu's face.
"That's wonderful."
"Where is he now?"
Han Feng considered for a moment and said, "Teacher should be in the Northwest Continent now. I separated from him rather hurriedly before, so I'm not very sure of his location."
"But rest assured, Aunt Hua. When I meet him, I will definitely bring him to the Flower Sect to see you."
Aunt Hua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said movedly, "Thank you, Feng'er."
"It's a pity I'm still the Flower Sect Master. Otherwise, I would want to go with you."
"There will be plenty of chances to meet in the future, no need to rush."
Han Feng comforted.
Hua Yu nodded.
"Follow me. I'll go call Qing Yun out; she's cultivating in the back mountain."
Han Feng and the other two followed Hua Yu to the Flower Sect Main Hall.
"How is Qing Yun now?"
"She has been cultivating with Elder Qing and rarely goes out. When I visited her before, she was already a Five-Star Dou Emperor. Now, she should be around Seven or Eight-Star."
Hua Yu said.
Han Feng nodded with a smile.
It seemed that Fairy Qing of the Flower Sect was very dedicated to cultivating Ye Qing Yun.
In less than three years, rising from a Dou King to a High-Rank Dou Emperor, without a large amount of resources, even with the Cyan Wood Longevity Body, it would be difficult to achieve.
After Hua Yu arranged for someone to entertain Han Feng, she personally set off for the sect's back mountain.
In a floating palace set up on a mountain peak, a woman with long black hair scattered slowly opened her eyes.
In her pair of pupils, bright green grew wantonly.
Outside the palace, Hua Yu landed, her hands folded in front of her, and walked towards the palace gate.
"Sect Master."
Ye Qing Yun got up and walked towards Hua Yu.
"Qing Yun, someone came to pick you up. Guess who?"
Ye Qing Yun's pupils contracted slightly.
"Is it Master?"
Hua Yu shook her head helplessly.
"You still call him that."
As the successor of Fairy Qing of the Flower Sect, Ye Qing Yun's status was very high.
Even succeeding her position would be perfectly justifiable.
"Master is Master. Sect Master, I want to go see him."
"Alright, alright, alright. You girl, hearing about Feng'er makes you so anxious."
Hua Yu sighed.
She knew the woman in front of her was a top-notch character, but unfortunately, due to some past issues, she refused to change her emotional positioning towards Han Feng.
The relationship between maid and master, even after she possessed an extremely high status, she still didn't want to change.
"Did anyone else come?"
"Yes. One is Xian'er who came with you before, and another named Gu Xun'er."
"Gu Xun'er?"
Ye Qing Yun was somewhat puzzled.
She didn't know this person.
"Is Qing Lin not here?"
"Not here."
Hua Yu shook her head.
Ye Qing Yun nodded gently.
Besides missing her master, she also missed her daughter very much.
The two arrived outside the palace but didn't go directly to see Han Feng. Instead, they went to report the situation to Fairy Qing first.
Ye Qing Yun was now Fairy Qing's disciple. Leaving without saying goodbye would be too rude.
"Teacher, I want to leave the Flower Sect for a while."
Ye Qing Yun said towards a vibrant mountain forest.
"Go. Your heart is not here; continuing to work behind closed doors is useless. Besides, you have already learned my cultivation method. How you walk the path ahead depends entirely on yourself."
Ye Qing Yun knelt on the ground and bowed deeply towards the mountain forest.
Two years of teaching grace, she would forever remember Fairy Qing's kindness in her heart.
But life's path ultimately had to be walked by oneself.
Inheriting the mantle and becoming a Flower Sect Elder was one choice. Leaving the Flower Sect and continuing to follow Han Feng was another choice.
Ye Qing Yun chose the latter without hesitation.
"No need for this. It's not like you can't come back in the future."
Hua Yu patted Ye Qing Yun's shoulder.
Ye Qing Yun nodded.
Cultivating in the Flower Sect for two years, she felt she had improved a lot.
Fairy Qing was an excellent teacher.
She wasn't impatient because of Ye Qing Yun's weakness.
According to what Ye Qing Yun knew, there were plenty of people in the entire Flower Sect more powerful than her.
But Fairy Qing chose to teach her.
Although there was the reason of Sect Master Hua's recommendation at the beginning, the care during the subsequent interaction between master and disciple couldn't be achieved by just a sentence or two of recommendation.
Precisely because of this, Ye Qing Yun was even more grateful to Fairy Qing.
Meeting a good teacher sometimes changes a person's life.
However, the one Ye Qing Yun met who changed her life earlier was Han Feng.
Since she regarded him as master, she would naturally be loyal for life.
Ye Qing Yun stood up, patted the dust off her body, and flew towards the Flower Sect Main Hall with Hua Yu.
Inside the main hall, Han Feng waited quietly.
Two figures flew into the hall. Han Feng turned his head and saw that familiar face.
"Qing Yun."
Han Feng got up and walked towards her.
"Master!"
Ye Qing Yun trotted quickly to Han Feng.
Han Feng looked carefully and nodded, "Not bad. It seems you've put in hard work these past two years."
The current Ye Qing Yun no longer had that frail feeling from before. Although her appearance was still soft and gentle, from her body movements, one could see she had undergone superior training.
"Aunt Ye."
Lin Xian'er walked over and greeted.
"Xian'er."
Ye Qing Yun smiled at Lin Xian'er.
"You're really a big girl now."
