Chapter 1517 - 1514: Targeted
Returning to the Huxin Pavilion, Yan Xihua smiled at Yang Fei and said, "It’s all sorted."
Yang Fei expressed his gratitude promptly.
Sun Xingyu asked, "The Mu Family won’t go back on their word, will they?"
Yan Xihua shook her head, "Don’t worry, they wouldn’t have agreed if they meant to retract it. Otherwise, they would completely offend me. Moreover, with the closed-door disciple status of Master Wan and the close relationship with Master Shen, the Mu Family has to give some respect."
Yang Fei smiled, "Back then, Brother Shen told me that while I’m out, I only need to mention my master’s name. Plus, with his jade token, I can practically walk unchallenged in the Southern Domain World. It seems these identities and backgrounds do hold some value."
Yan Xihua chuckled, "They are very useful. Don’t mention just having dual identities; even one of them alone means not many in the Southern Domain Cultivation World would dare to disrespect you. This time, it’s because you provoked the Mu Family and killed too many of their direct lineage. Otherwise, if it were for other reasons, the Mu Family wouldn’t bother with you."
Yang Fei nodded silently.
Sun Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That’s good. Hahaha, now the danger is over. Yang Fei, Minister Qin, you don’t need to worry and can stay here for a while."
Yang Fei shook his head, "Old Sun, I came here because I was worried about you. Now that I know you’re living carefree, I should return to the Shang Qing Sect."
"Why leave just when you got here?" Sun Xingyu objected, "No way, you both must stay here longer; otherwise, who knows when we’ll meet again with the long distance."
Yang Fei replied, "My ability to leave the Shang Qing Sect was achieved through my master’s efforts. Now that things are done, I must return early; otherwise, my master will worry."
Sun Xingyu said, "It’s not urgent to wait a day or two."
Seeing his reluctance and feeling the depletion of his primordial spirit after using the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl multiple times to travel between Earth and the Southern Domain World today, Yang Fei nodded, "Alright, we’ll stay here for a few more days."
"That’s more like it, hahaha, come, let’s continue drinking." Sun Xingyu, delighted, took out the cups and bowls of Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang that he had put away earlier.
Yang Fei said to Yan Xihua, "Immortal Yan, hope we didn’t disturb you?"
Yan Xihua smiled slightly, "It’s the first time I’ve seen Sun Lang so happy since you came. I couldn’t be more pleased to have you stay a few more days with him."
"Then sorry for the trouble." Yang Fei said politely.
Qin Yanyang said to Yan Xihua, "Sister Yan, regarding the matter of discussing or purchasing the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass with that strong figure in Beiyu, could you please put some effort into it?"
Sun Xingyu waved his hand, "Rest assured, leave it to our Xihua."
Yan Xihua also nodded, promising to contact the other party as soon as possible.
In the following days, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang focused on cultivating. With the effect of dual cultivation, Yang Fei recovered to peak condition that night. Afterward, under Sun Xingyu’s guidance, they leisurely strolled within West Phoenix Valley City for a few days.
"If it weren’t for the threat of demon beasts, Earth’s current living conditions wouldn’t be much worse than many places in the Southern Domain." Qin Yanyang remarked.
Sun Xingyu nodded, "Yes, I’ve lived in the Shang Qing Sect for several years and recently fled through many places. For ordinary people, Earth’s concentration of spiritual energy is still decent. Unfortunately, the rampant demon beasts make it unsafe even for Foundation Establishment cultivators."
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang nodded in silence.
Yan Xihua said blandly, "You are still too young, haven’t experienced much separation of life and death, nor have you seen through the relationship between the cultivation world and the mundane world. Such a mindset is not good for you."
Sun Xingyu said, "Xihua, we understand your reasoning, but it’s genuinely challenging for us to completely disregard the people on Earth."
"Alas! You are too entangled in worldly attachments. Actually, from the moment you embarked on the path of cultivation, you were already not the same kind as ordinary people."
Yan Xihua pointed to the crowd on the street ahead, "Look, even though there are many cultivators in West Phoenix Valley, many common folks exist too. Cultivators are high above, while ordinary people’s abilities are limited, so they naturally live at the mercy of cultivators. But truly dedicated cultivators won’t meddle in the lives of ordinary people, avoiding entanglement with worldly affairs as much as possible."
"But along our journey, we’ve seen many mundane towns invaded by demon beasts. Yet, cultivators went to slay the demons to protect ordinary humans." Qin Yanyang said to Yan Xihua, "This shows the cultivators in the Southern Domain World also care about the fate of ordinary people."
Yan Xihua nodded, "This is different from the attachment you hold for worldly people. Cultivators in the cultivation world slay demons for worldly tasks because of sect duties and to continuously train oneself. Experiencing worldly tribulations is a part of cultivation."
"Isn’t there any cultivator solely committed to protecting ordinary people?" Qin Yanyang pursued further.
Yan Xihua paused for a moment, nodded, "Of course, there are. Many feel that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and strive to act chivalrously, banish demons, and defend the path. However, such individuals are considered weak-willed in the cultivation world, wasting too much time and state of mind on worldly matters, limiting their achievements in cultivation."
Qin Yanyang’s eyes glimmered, "But these people live meaningful lives, with very exciting lives."
Yan Xihua looked at her complexly and sighed, "Perhaps. But sister still hopes you can see through all this soon, not to waste your heaven-defying talent."
Qin Yanyang stated firmly, "Thank you, sister, for the reminder. I will strive to cultivate but also adhere to my path, pursuing the great way I desire."
"Rest assured, I will always support you and stay by your side." Yang Fei said, holding Qin Yanyang’s hand with a smile.
Yan Xihua gave them a complex look and said no more.
Having lived for hundreds of years, what kind of people has she not encountered?
Even a prodigy like Shen Wanjing could ruin his immortal path for so-called love.
After staying in West Phoenix Valley for five days, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang finally left.
Sun Xingyu escorted them out of West Phoenix Valley, saying, "Do remember to visit me."
Yang Fei nodded, "I will, don’t worry."
Then the two of them rode their Spirit Boat towards the Shang Qing Sect.
Seeing the two finally heading back to the Shang Qing Sect, Shen Canglan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had promised Shen Wanjing to escort Yang Fei back to the Shang Qing Sect. As a result, this kid not only provoked the Mu Family but also stayed in West Phoenix Valley for several days, really thinking of him as jobless?
Sending them back to the Shang Qing Sect sooner would allow him to complete his task and return to the Shen Family for secluded cultivation.
Thus, Shen Canglan silently followed the two, and three hundred miles after leaving West Phoenix Valley, he suddenly frowned.
A team of evil cultivators was covertly trailing these two juniors, and surprisingly, one of them was an early stage Nascent Soul expert.
