agree." Mei'er immediately agreed. She readily agreed partly because she hoped Zhao Mingfeng could fulfill his long-held wish; he had been searching for the Dark Emperor's whereabouts all these years...Chapter 1361 Being a True Master Once

"Since you already know, why ask such an obvious question" Ye Yumei coldly said.

Han Mingfei stared at the house several hundred meters away. Although spiritual energy was invisible, he could clearly sense that it was constantly entering one of the rooms in the building. This strange phenomenon had never happened before.

After a moment, Han Mingfei retracted his gaze and turned to look at Ye Yumei’s extraordinarily beautiful but equally cold face. He sighed softly: "Miss Immortal Ye, I am just curious. In this world, cultivation should not be possible, nor should there be such concentrated spiritual energy. But now it seems that someone is capable of doing so. I wonder if the person who can do it is Xia Tian"

"In a vast and boundless world, anything is possible," Ye Yumei's tone remained cold. "If you want to see for yourself, I won't stop you. However, I will also go there to take a look. Your two junior apprentices might welcome me warmly."

Han Mingfei showed an expression of helplessness on his face: "Miss Immortal Ye, it seems that you have deeply misunderstood us. In fact, I do not bear any ill will towards you. My sole purpose for coming to this unfamiliar place is to find my junior apprentice sister Qingya. As for other matters, I really don't care. I also never intended to hunt you or Xia Tian down. My visit tonight was purely out of curiosity."

"If you truly have no ill will, then turn around and leave the way you came!" Ye Yumei coldly said.

Han Mingfei thought for a moment before nodding: "Alright, to show my sincerity, I'll return now."

After pausing, Han Mingfei added: "Miss Immortal Ye, you should understand that regardless of twenty years ago or the present day, I have never harbored any ill will towards you. I also firmly believe that you didn't deliberately bring Qingya to this place. I only hope that Miss Immortal Ye can seriously consider telling me about Qingya's whereabouts so we can return together to the Immortal Cloud Continent."

After saying this, Han Mingfei really turned around and left. Although he seemed to walk slowly as if reluctant to leave, he soon disappeared from Ye Yumei's sight.

A strange expression appeared on Ye Yumei's face. Clearly, she hadn't expected that Han Mingfei would actually leave because of her words. She had originally thought that both she and Xia Tian would have a bad night tonight.

After standing still for a moment, Ye Yumei turned around and quickly flew back to her room. Then, just like before, she resumed sitting cross-legged in the air and began practicing to absorb spiritual energy.

The next day.

Xia Tian knocked on Ye Yumei's door very early in the morning.

"What is it" Ye Yumei's voice quickly came out, but the door remained closed.

"Long-Leg Sister, I bought breakfast for you." Xia Tian replied.

Ye Yumei opened her door and swiftly took the breakfast from Xia Tian’s hand before trying to close the door again.

"Hey, Long-Leg Sister, wait a moment. I need to discuss something with you," Xia Tian hurriedly held the door open with his hands so that Ye Yumei couldn't shut it.

"What is it" Night Yu Mei asked indifferently.

"Hmm, first of all, I want to say that your old lover was quite considerate towards you; last night he left without doing anything. It seems like asking you to help me with my protection was a wise decision." Xia Tian said with a smile: "Secondly, because of this, I feel that staying here shouldn't be dangerous for you. I plan to leave Yenan City for a while, but I need you to keep an eye on those three for me. Will you stay and help me watch them for a few days"

"No need for your nonsense; I will naturally keep my eyes on them!" Night Yu Mei said coldly.

"Hmm, that's good." Xia Tian was quite satisfied: "Then there is one more thing."

"Spit it out and don't waste words!" Night Yu Mei seemed a bit impatient.

"Alright then, I'll speak plainly. I think you should continue to be the master for your stingy wife." Xia Tian spoke up: "Back then when you took her as your disciple without teaching her anything practical, instead nearly getting the stingy one killed. Past events won't be pursued, but now shouldn't you act like a real teacher and teach her all of your more advanced techniques"

"First ask if she dares to continue being my disciple!" Night Yu Mei said coldly before closing the room door.

Xia Tian looked at the tightly closed door, feeling somewhat gloomy. He then turned to Ning Jie who was not far away: "Stingy wife, you're not afraid of becoming Long Leg's disciple, are you"

Ning Jie, who hadn't slept for a night and seemed slightly tired, shook her head lightly as she said softly: "If you want me to continue being her teacher, I will."

"Stingy wife, I just want to learn something from her. It's not necessary to call her master," Summer thought for a moment and said.

“Mm, then I'll learn from her,” Ning Jie nodded lightly. She did indeed have an innate fear of Night Jade Beauty, but she now understood that Summer’s situation wasn’t very favorable, so she hoped to help Summer with all her abilities.

“Hey, long-legged girl, did you hear me” Summer knocked on Night Jade Beauty's door again.

"I will start teaching her tonight," came Night Jade Beauty's cold voice from inside.

"Oh right, long-legged girl, I forgot to mention— could you teach another person as well" Summer asked.

“I don’t teach men!” replied Night Jade Beauty icily.

“Rest assured, I won't learn from you either,” Summer said lazily. "The other person I'm talking about is my Yao Yao wife."

"I’ll teach her that’s it; no more disturbing me!" came the cold reply from Night Jade Beauty.

“Alright then, by the way, I might leave soon. You don’t need to miss me; I should be back very soon.” Summer said with a cheerful smile.

This time, there was no response inside; it seems that Night Jade Beauty was too lazy to bother with Summer.

"Husband, are you leaving soon" Ning Jie sounded surprised. She had thought that Summer would stay for a few more days before leaving.

"Yes, I'll leave temporarily once Yao Yao comes out. You and Yao Yao can stay here first; I'll return as soon as possible." Summer nodded and explained.

"Alright." Ning Jie agreed but asked curiously, "Husband, where are you going"

"I'm heading to Jianghai City," Summer replied without hiding it. However, he didn't mention what he was going there for.

Ning Jie didn’t ask again; she had a vague idea of what Summer’s purpose might be.

Suddenly, a heavy rainstorm hit Yenan City. The downpour continued relentlessly for three hours straight, making the streets unusually quiet. Even cars were scarce on the roads, and pedestrians were even fewer. Such intense rainfall would drench anyone holding an umbrella.

Outside Yenan City, on the national highway, a shadow was running at lightning speed in the rain. The runner moved so fast that when someone spotted them, it only made their eyes blink for a moment, and most people didn’t even notice his existence.

This shadow was Summer. He finally left around noon. Despite the heavy rain, it had no effect on him; his clothes remained dry without any trace of water.

Leaving Yuannan City at this time wasn't such a sudden decision for Xia Tian. Before he started refining the elixir, he had already decided that if the elixir was effective, he would first return to Jianghai City and help his wives who hadn't reached the Golden Core stage to advance to it. This way, his cultivation could also greatly improve. If everything went according to plan, even if he couldn't immediately perform the Heaven-defying Sixth Needle, elevating his cultivation to late-stage Golden Core or even breaking through to Nascent Soul would be possible.

He had no other choice; protecting Immortal Sister was his top priority and enhancing his strength was the only way. As for Yuannan City, he wasn't particularly worried at this moment. Although he had been continuously performing acupuncture on Chu Yao last night, he knew exactly what happened a few hundred meters away. He was certain that Han Mingfei wouldn't harm Ye Yumei, and with Ye Yumei's temporary protection, Ning Jie and Chu Yao would also be safe for the time being.

Xia Tian wasn't concerned about Ye Yumei either. She clearly hated him the most, but if she could now get along peacefully with him, there was no way she would harm Ning Jie and Chu Yao, especially since neither of them had done anything bad to her. In fact, Ning Jie had been tricked by Ye Yumei in the past.

What truly worried Xia Tian were those from Mystic Gossamer Immortal Gate. He didn't know if there really were twelve people here as she claimed, but he believed that Mystic Gossamer Immortal Gate definitely sent more than three individuals to this world. After twenty years, it was unlikely they would only send three people to search for his Immortal Sister. However, where exactly were the other disciples from Mystic Gossamer Immortal Gate now If what Ye Yumei said about a group being near Beijing was true, there might be trouble in that area as well.

Before leaving Yuannan City, Xia Tian had already called Mu Han and Meirou to remind them of the possibility of powerful cultivators existing in Beijing. He advised them to stay far away if they encountered any experts as a precautionary measure. Currently, all he wished for was that those from Mystic Gossamer Immortal Gate would give him some time. Time was what he needed most at this point; he believed that with just one month, these issues wouldn't be his concern anymore.

Unknowingly, Xia Tian had already arrived within the range of Xingcheng City, but the rain hadn't lessened. It rained heavily in Xingcheng as well, indicating it was a widespread downpour.

After passing through Xingcheng City and continuing towards Jianghai City, the heavy rain continued unabated, yet Xia Tian suddenly slowed down his pace. After traveling another ten kilometers or so and confirming that no one was around, he finally stopped.

"Hey, you dumb follower who's been tailing me, now you can come out!" Xia Tian’s voice wasn't loud but managed to penetrate the rain curtain and reach several thousand meters away.

A figure in white quickly approached through the rain. In a moment, this person stopped about ten meters from Xia Tian, coldly staring at him. Hanchuang's answer somewhat disappointed Summer and made Mu Han chuckle. This pretty maidservant didn't seem very competent!"Alright then, I'll tell you. As a maidservant, you just follow my orders....
