As night fell, Tian Yueling, who was irritated because Ling Yun still hadn't returned, raised her eyebrows when she saw the three disciples of the Heaven Secrets Sect. Even though they had already used the artifacts their master had given them, their bodies were covered with many wounds, especially Dongfang Xu.
"What happened to you guys? Why are you in such bad condition?" Nangong Nichang asked them with a worried look.
"All this happened because of Xu!" Qiao Lingzhi sulked as she sat beside her, and she immediately told Nangong Nichang about what they experienced during the day when they were looking for the thing hidden by their master.
Dongfang Xu smiled bitterly while listening to Qiao Lingzhi continue to blame him in front of Nangong Nichang, but he had no intention of stopping her, and he chose to go to a nearby spring to cleanse his body.
"All right, you don't need to blame him all the time, Lingzhi." Guan Peng finally stopped her, especially since they were all like siblings, and he didn't want their relationship to be broken because of some small mistakes. "I'll catch up with him now, and we'll talk later."
After Guan Peng disappeared, Nangong Nichang then said to her sect sister. "You yourself also made mistakes many times in the past, and we never blamed you, so you don't need to keep blaming Xu."
"Humph." Qiao Lingzhi snorted softly. "How are your injuries? Are they better?"
"En." Nangong Nichang nodded to her. "Mo Chen treated my injuries with ointment, and he also gave me a healing pill, so my injuries are much better now."
"Eh?" Qiao Lingzhi then whispered to her. 'Does that mean Mo Chen has seen and touched your body?'
Instantly, Nangong Nichang's face turned red, and she nodded in embarrassment.
'Does that mean you will be his wife later?' Qiao Lingzhi asked her again. 'As I recall, you once told me that you would only show your body to your future husband, but you've shown it to Mo Chen now.'
'No!' Nangong Nichang shook her head vigorously. 'Okay, don't ask about it anymore.'
'Hehe.' Qiao Lingzhi giggled at Nangong Nichang's red face, and she then turned to Tian Yueling and Zhao Yu, who were watching them with amused smiles. "Big Sis Yueling? Since when did you recover from your illness? And why are you here now?"
"I came here to see Mo Chen, and Big Sis Yu healed me yesterday." Tian Yueling replied as she pointed at Zhou Yu. "Anyway, you're still as childish as ever, and you still like to make a fuss about trivial matters. If you continue like this, no man will like you."
"Hey, Big Sis, you are dozens of times older than me, but you were still single." Qiao Lingzhi protested with an annoyed look. "As for me, I'm still young and beautiful, so I don't want to rush into having a boyfriend, let alone getting married. Unlike you, there are lots of men who adore me, and I can get married whenever I want, but not anytime soon."
"You!" Tian Yueling glared at Qiao Lingzhi furiously.
"Pft! Hahaha!" Zhou Yu laughed out loud, listening to their bickering. She then put her arm around Tian Yueling's shoulders. "Lingzhi is right, you know? You're too old now, but even before you got sick, you never had a lover, especially since you were too chubby, and your temper wasn't good either."
"Big Sis!" Tian Yueling shouted angrily. "If I'm too old, then you're an old hag! Moreover, you have never been in a romantic relationship, so stop making fun of me!"
However, Qiao Lingzhi then told her to defend Zhou Yu. "You're wrong about that, Big Sis Yueling! Big Sis Yu is Mo Chen's wife, and their relationship is also very intimate."
Tian Yueling was flabbergasted after she heard that, and her eyes widened as she looked at Zhao Yu with a look of shock.
"Haha." Zhao Yu chuckled and lifted Tian Yueling's chin. "You've heard Lingzhi, right? I already have a husband, so I'm no longer single like you."
"Are you kidding me?" Tian Yueling asked with a shout as she got up from her seat. "How-"
"Oh? You guys are really lively, huh?"
Hearing that, Tian Yueling immediately turned to Ling Yun, and her expression showed that she was awestruck by his good looks. But he was in shock when he saw Xiao Xiao, especially after she sensed her cultivation. 'What? She's clearly much younger than me, but her cultivation is almost on par with mine now!'
But alas, Tian Yueling didn't know that Xiao Xiao was a mythical beast, and her cultivation could improve quickly thanks to the inheritance of her parents, but her cultivation also hadn't reached its peak.
Unlike her, Ling Yun still didn't act out of the ordinary, and he didn't seem interested in Tian Yueling, but he also felt familiar with her face.
Even though Tian Yueling had also swallowed the beauty returning pill, she was still inferior compared to several of Ling Yun's wives, such as Lian Bing and Feng Ruxue.
Zhou Yu then told Ling Yun. "Her name is Tian Yueling, and she is one of your master's granddaughters."
"Eh?" Ling Yun was surprised to hear that. "I see, no wonder I feel familiar with her face; it turns out she is Master Huang's granddaughter. Anyway, nice to meet you, Miss Yueling."
"En." Tian Yueling nodded to him. "Nice to meet you too."
"Did you come here because my master sent you to see me?" Ling Yun asked with a confused look, especially since Tian Huang shouldn't have completed his ordered equipment yet.
Before Tian Yueling answered his question, Zhou Yu told Ling Yun again. "She came here of her own accord to meet you, and she seems interested in you now."
"Shut up, Big Sis!" Tian Yueling shouted as she glared viciously at Zhou Yu. "If you dare tease me again, I will fight you right now!"
Not only Ling Yun was surprised by Tian Yueling's attitude, but Xiao Xiao was also surprised by it, and they felt that she was a spoiled young lady, especially since she was the descendant of the number one clan in Sky Cloud Realm.
Unlike them, Zhou Yu didn't think about Tian Yueling's attitude, for they had known each other for a very long time, so she was used to her attitude. "Anyway, she already promised me to join the Eternal Spring Sect to meet you, so you two will meet often in the future. However, she couldn't wait any longer to meet you, so she came here now."
"Tch!" Tian Yueling gritted her teeth. "You're really annoying, Big Sis!"
Ling Yun could only shake his head because Tian Yueling's attitude was very different from his grandfather's, which made him antipathetic towards her, and he then told Zhou Yu. "Anyway, Xiao'er will also join the sect, and we will leave there in three days."
Tian Yueling frowned after hearing that, but she didn't comment, especially since she didn't know Ling Yun yet.
"I think it's not a problem, and it's much better instead." Zhao Yu then reminded him. "However, before we go to the Eternal Spring Sect, we should go see Zhiyu Yushen first, and Mingxia will probably stay with her later."
"Are you sure Zhiyu Yushen will be willing to accept her?" Ling Yun asked doubtfully, and that was because his mother's cultivation was still too low for cultivators in that realm, so he was not sure that she would be willing to accept Yi Mingxia as her disciple.
"You don't need to think about that." Zhou Yun replied by shaking her head. "Zhiyu Yushen is not a narrow-minded person, and she is a very experienced healer, so she will definitely be interested in Mingxia's talents in the medical field."
"I hope so." Ling Yun then turned to Nanggong Nichang, but he was shocked to see Qiao Lingzhi's condition and threw three healing pills at her. "You can swallow one and give the other two to your two friends; I'm sure their condition is not much different from yours."
"Thank you, Mo Chen." Qiao Lingzhi sincerely said and swallowed the pill directly, and she then turned to Xiao Xiao. "Is she your wife too?"
"Yes, her name is Xiao Xiao, and we just met again after a few months."
Qiao Lingzhi suddenly blurted out. "Big Sis Xiao, I'm really jealous of your beauty, and you're also much sexier than Big Sis Yueling!"
"Lingzhi!" Tian Yueling yelled as she stomped her feet on the ground, and Qiao Lingszi immediately covered her mouth with both hands, but they could see that she was trying hard to suppress her laughter.
Xiao Xiao sighed seeing them like that, and she said to Qiao Lingzhi. "Actually, you are also beautiful and sexy, so you don't need to be jealous of me, and you also don't need to compare me with Yueling, for everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages."
"Haha." Qiao Lingzhi laughed as she nodded, and she stuck out her tongue at Tian Yueling, who continued to glare angrily at her.
Ling Yun didn't say anything else and pulled Xiao Xiao under a tree to rest, especially since they had been dual cultivating for quite some time before. However, their intimacy fueled Tian Yueling and Qiao Lingzhi's jealousy, and they felt truly envious of Xiao Xiao.
Noticing their jealousy, Zhou Yu smiled faintly, but she didn't say anything and disappeared from their sight instantly, and no one knew where she went.
