Chapter 159: Senior brother, give a sermon to the heroine

Ye Anping was silent for a while, trying to understand where Xiao Yunluo was coming from. He raised his eyebrows, signaling her to continue.

“Continue,” He urged.

“Just this afternoon, Sister Yun came to the door and said she was looking for you and Lianxue. She claimed that you are her biological brother and Lianxue is her biological sister,” Xiao Yunluo continued.

Hearing the name Yun Xi, Ye Anping immediately connected the dots in Xiao Yunluo’s logic. However, he admired her imaginative abilities and interrupted, “Sister Xiao, you should know that I am the young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect.”

“Yes, but…” Xiao Yunluo hesitated and asked, “Ye Anping, you don’t know what kind of person Yun Tianchong, the leader of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, is?”

“…”

“Yun Tianchong is a womanizer! He…”

Ye Anping was unsure what expression to make, so he frowned and retorted, “No! There is no such possibility. You don’t understand my mother.”

Xiao Yunluo felt that Ye Anping couldn’t accept this revelation, so he responded this way. However, she didn’t press the issue further. She shared the information and trusted that he could handle the situation.

After a moment of hesitation, she reassured him, “Ye Anping, it’s okay. I stand with you. But, no matter what, you must not go to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect. It’s dangerous there. If the Hundred Lotus Sect gets entangled in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect’s affairs, you can seek refuge in the Xuanxing Sect. I can protect you.”

Ye Anping was somewhat speechless, sighing. He found Xiao Yunluo’s reaction adorable, as she was genuinely concerned about him getting involved with the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.

“Sister Xiao, I said, this is impossible. You don’t understand my mother’s situation,” He insisted.

“But…”

“Let me put it this way, before my mother became pregnant with me, she weighed up to two hundred pounds. She only lost weight during the ten months she was pregnant with me.”

“Uh!”

Ye Anping sighed, raising his eyebrows, “So, this matter is impossible from the beginning.”

“Why does Yun Xi regard you and Lianxue as her biological brother and sister?” Xiao Yunluo asked.

Ye Anping looked at her, hesitated momentarily, and said, “Because the sword techniques that my junior sister and I learned are the Shadow Moon Sword Sect’s secret sword techniques, Heart Questioning Technique, and Leaves Shadow Sword Technique.”

“Heart Questioning Technique and Leaves Shadow Sword Technique!”

Upon hearing Ye Anping’s words, Xiao Yunluo hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, she recalled the founding history of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect and a rumor whose authenticity was unknown. Shangxian Yunjian founded the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.

That person was as renowned as her mother, Danyue Shangxian, and was acknowledged as the foremost sword cultivator in the Immortal realm. Unfortunately, he met a sudden demise in the Eastern Region, ambushed and besieged by several demon cultivator sect masters.

These events could be found in the library, but some details were not recorded in books, known only to more experienced sword cultivators. The elders of Tianyun Peak had told Xiao Yunluo that due to the abrupt fall of Shangxian Yunjian, he had once gathered the essence of various sword sects in the Immortal family, creating two sword techniques. However, they were lost with his sudden demise.

The current sect master, Yun Tianchong, his son, had learned them, but at the time of his father’s death, he had only reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and had not completed the training.

The Moon Shadow Sword Sect’s Heart Questioning Technique and Leaves Shadow Sword Jue were both comprehended by Yun Tianchong himself. However, since they originated from a fusion of various sword techniques, Yun Tianchong’s understanding led to numerous variations, resulting in peculiarities in the “Heart Questioning Technique” and “Leaves Shadow Sword Jue” existing in the Immortal family.

Only the direct descendants of the Yun family knew the proper forms of these two sword techniques.

“So, the sword techniques you and Lianxue used are all genuine secret swords from the Moon Shadow Sword Sect. Then Sister Yun saw them, so…”

“Yeah,” Ye Anping nodded, raised his index finger, and added, “By the way, I’ll tell you something you don’t know.”

“I have no idea!”

“Before his death, Immortal Yun Jian compiled the two sets of sword tactics he created and stored them in a cave. He deliberately did not tell Yun Tianchong about this.”

“Ah!” Xiao Yunluo was wide-eyed, puzzled. “Why?”

“Shangxian Danyue once told him that Yun Tianchong would never accomplish anything, leading to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect’s reputation falling. Therefore, he left his sword art as a legacy, stored in a certain place, waiting for a destined person to retrieve it. If Yun Tianchong turns out to be as Danyue said, his legacy can continue.”

At this point, Ye Anping hesitated for a moment, looking at Xiao Yunluo like a teacher asking a student,

“Sister Xiao, do you know what immortal cultivators fear the most?”

Xiao Yunluo hesitated and replied, “Is it the lack of successors?”

“No.”

“Fear of death! That can’t be…”

“Huh—silly girl.” Ye Anping tapped her forehead, shook his head, and explained, “The higher the cultivation level of Immortal family cultivators, the more they fear being forgotten in the future.”

“…”

“For older people, this is also a form of immortality. They acknowledge that they cannot reach the Great Vehicle Ascension, so they place their faith in this form of immortality, ‘the name will last forever in the world.’ And faith, for immortals, is the most important thing. As the saying goes… live up to your original intention and live up to your youth.”

Listening to Ye Anping’s words, Xiao Yunluo suddenly looked blank and seemed to radiate a special glow.

According to his account, even though Ye Anping was about the same age as her, his words were reminiscent of Mr. Qi.

“How do you know? The sword technique you and Lianxue learned is…”

Because that place was only three hundred miles away from the Hundred Lotus Sect, he sneaked out to dig alone when he was six. As a result, he was imprisoned for three months by Ye Ao when he came back.

Of course, he couldn’t reveal this. Ye Anping smiled and said, “It’s an opportunity I came across. Don’t go around talking about it.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunluo’s face again showed a hint of shyness — he had shared a secret with her, a sign of trust.

And trust, in a roundabout way, meant that he liked me!

After hesitating, Xiao Yunluo finally gathered the courage to sit up from Ye Anping’s arms and turned to face him.

“In exchange, I’ll tell you a secret.”

“You have no secrets from me,” Ye Anping sighed and shook his head.

“No need.”

“I want to say…” Xiao Yunluo leaned into Ye Anping’s ear and said, “I want to…”

“Senior Sister Xiao!! Junior Sister Li, are you still soaking in there? I’m coming!! I’m coming!!”

!!! Xiao Yunluo was first startled, and then a row of “���” appeared on her forehead.

The next moment, “Plop——!!” was heard from behind.

The second fool jumped into the water!! She was stunned momentarily, then quickly grabbed Ye Anping’s shoulders, stood up, and pushed him directly under the water.

The next moment, Feng Yudie’s voice sounded from behind, “Senior Sister Xiao, what are you doing? By the way, where is Junior Sister Li?”

“Can’t you just walk in? Do you still have to dance? Junior Sister Li is going back first.”

“Oh… I’m sorry, let’s take a dip. This pool is full of water and wood spiritual energy. Do you want me to help you push your luck away? I know how to do it.”

“No… No!! You go there to soak, stay away from me!!”

Feng Yudie shrunk her head, didn’t she just jump into the water? Why did he dislike her so much?

“Oh…”

…
