After reporting to his uncle about their previous alliance with Tianjian Mountain in the Western Region to eradicate the Wanxiang Sect, Master Lingzhi was also greatly moved.
He did not expect that Nangong Yun and Hong Juan, who were still two children in his eyes, could do such incredible things.
However, after listening to the two people's stories, he also smiled happily.
"You have finally grown up and can stand on your own. Senior brother will be very happy if he sees your current cultivation strength."
But when he said this, Hongjuan suddenly asked Master Lingzhi doubtfully.
"Uncle, where did the master and Uncle Yuyang go, and when will they come back?"
Upon hearing Hong Juan's inquiry, Master Lingzhi said with a smile.
"It's like this. One month ago, senior brother received an invitation from Bei Gonghai, the lord of the Northern Star Territory, and went to the coast of the North Sea to participate in the practitioners' discussion conference they held."
"Oh, it's so far away. But what is this practitioners' discussion conference about? Is it to discuss the practice method?"
Hong Juan looked a little disappointed when she heard that her master had gone to a place so far away in the Northern Star Territory and that he would definitely not be able to come back for a while.
Master Lingzhi said with a smile.
"Yes, this is a grand event held every five years in the Northern Star Territory. I was there last time. Anyone who has participated in the practitioners' discussion conference will benefit more or less from the exchanges and discussions with other practitioners. many."
As he spoke, Master Lingzhi turned his gaze to Nangong Yun and continued.
"Senior brother had already touched the threshold of the fifth level of the stars when he came out of seclusion. Moreover, Xiaoyun mentioned something in front of him that time, which made senior brother more certain of his guess.
Therefore, during the time when you left Fengming Mountain, senior brother was already full of confidence in the Heart of the Stars.
This time he was invited to the Beitian Star Territory to participate in the Practitioners Discussion Conference, and he will definitely benefit a lot from it. I think that after he returns to Fengming Mountain, he should be able to break through to the fifth level of the stars soon. "
After hearing this, Nangong Yun said happily.
"It's great that Master was able to understand the method of condensing the Heart of the Stars in such a short period of time. From now on, we in Fengming Mountain will have strong men of the fifth level of the Stars."
"Haha, yes, the Yuanhun Continent is divided into four. Our South Vietnam Empire has always been in a relatively weak position. Senior brother has worked hard over the years and practiced hard day and night just to maintain the peace of the South Vietnam Empire.
If he can break through to the fifth level of the stars, from now on, our South Vietnam Empire will truly stand on the Yuanhun Continent, and there will no longer be things like the Wanxiang Sect's wanton interference in the struggle for imperial power in the South Vietnam Empire fifteen years ago! "
After saying this, Master Lingzhi's expression became serious.
He has always believed that the reason why the Wanxiang Sect dared to come to South Vietnam unscrupulously fifteen years ago was because there was no one in South Vietnam who could stop them.
If the same thing happened in Donghuang, even if Wan Zhentian had ten more courages, he would not dare to ask about the Donghuang Temple.
Therefore, all this is ultimately because South Vietnam does not yet have a strong man who can support the entire territory.
Now, Master Huang He is finally about to enter such a realm. From now on, the South Vietnam Empire will no longer be bullied or manipulated by others.
When Nangong Yun heard this, he also very much agreed with his uncle's statement, because after what happened in the Western Region, he deeply realized that a strong practitioner is indeed of great significance to the world.
Whether people on one side can live a stable and happy life depends largely on whether the territory they live in is unified.
Recalling the Sand Dune Town he visited when he first arrived in the Western Region, the reason why the ordinary people there suffered such suffering was because they were at the junction of the two major forces in the Western Region.
In most places where different forces meet, disputes and wars often occur, and in the end it is only the ordinary people who are involved who suffer.
Perhaps due to the guidance and teachings of Master Huang He since childhood, Nangong Yun's character was somewhat influenced by his master. Therefore, he would always help the weak as much as possible within his ability.
This also destined that in his future practice, no matter what happened, he would always be willing to understand the other party with kindness first, instead of radically destroying everything with force.
Nangong Yun had many insights into Master Lingzhi's words in his heart. However, Hong Juan on the side did not think so much.
She just felt that the master had gone to the Northern Star Territory and it would definitely take a long time to come back, so she said to Nangong Yun with some frustration.
"It seems we have to wait a long time to see the master."
Nangong Yun couldn't help laughing when he saw her frustrated look.
"If Master knew that Senior Sister, you miss him so much after not seeing him for half a year, you would definitely laugh from ear to ear, haha, Master, don't you think so!"
Nangong Yun smiled playfully and turned to look at Master Lingzhi, but Master Lingzhi frowned and said.
"Although Hongjuan girl is usually a bit naughty, she really respects and loves her senior brother. After all, she is a daughter's family. She still has a delicate mind and a considerate and gentle nature."
After hearing her uncle's praise, Hongjuan immediately beamed at Nangong Yun and smiled.
"Look, my uncle has said this, what else do you think?"
"How dare I have any objections to senior sister? It's just that I can't let you take up all the time I miss my master."
Nangong Yun said with an unconvinced look.
However, what the two of them said was heard by Master Lingzhi on the side, but he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"Haha... If Junior Brother Yuyang knew about this argument between the two of you, I don't know how sad he would be!"
"ah!"
"whee......"
Nangong Yun and Hong Juan hadn't seen Master Lingzhi for a long time. They chatted with their uncle until the evening, when it got dark before returning to Qingfeng Pavilion.
Now that they have grown up, they naturally do not need anyone to take care of their daily life, so there are only two of them in Qingfeng Pavilion now.
This is the place where they have lived since childhood. Although they have only been away for more than half a year, the feeling of returning home again after so many things makes them feel extremely comfortable.
The sweet-scented osmanthus tree in Feihua Garden is still there quietly guarding their home, but the swing hanging on the tree can only accommodate one of them to sit on it.
Hongjuan was no longer like she had been when she was a child. When Nangongyun wasn't paying attention, she would always rush to sit on it first, and then refuse to get down until she had enough fun before letting her sit down to Nangongyun.
At this time, Nangong Yun also noticed that his senior sister's eyes were on the swing. Then a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly quickened his pace, pretending to be the first to swing on the swing.
However, as he expected, as soon as he made a gesture of wanting to step forward, Hongjuan, as if she had an instinctive reaction engraved in his bones, instantly turned into a red shadow and disappeared from the place, waiting for her to appear again. , already on the swing.
"Senior sister, you are a swindler. Now that your realm is higher than mine, your speed is naturally faster than mine. This is unfair!"
Nangong Yun followed closely and came to the foot of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, complaining to Hongwen who looked proud.
It's just that Hong Juan doesn't care about this. In the past, when Nangong Yun's cultivation level surpassed hers, she tried her best to be the first to sit on it every time.
But now that her strength has finally surpassed Nangong Yun, she is naturally even more proud of having the right to use the swing.
Hong Juan raised her red lips and said with a smile in her beautiful eyes.
"This time I got it based on my strength. You should be convinced, right?"
Seeing his senior sister's beaming look, Nangong Yun felt happy from the bottom of his heart. Naturally, he would no longer compete with his senior sister for the things they cared about when they were young.
Because, for him now, seeing his senior sister happy is his greatest joy.
Hongjuan saw that Nangong Yun did not argue with her anymore, but just looked at her quietly, and suddenly felt a little shy.
However, this is a world that belongs to the two of them, and Hong Juan naturally doesn't have too many restraints. She just smiled slightly.
"Call Senior Sister. If you call Senior Sister, I will let you sit down!"
"Haha, I won't be fooled by you this time."
Nangong Yun said and walked behind Hong Juan.
Hong Juan felt Nangong Yun behind her stretch out a pair of strong arms and press her shoulders.
"Ah ha ha......"
Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, there was a heart-warming sound of laughter. The two of them were still laughing like they did when they were children, while the other was always working as a coolie...
The night was misty, and the faint moonlight shone through the gaps in the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and illuminated the two people under the tree.
Nangong Yun was already sitting on the stone bench next to the tree, while Hong Juan was leaning on his shoulder and quietly admiring everything around him.
Although everything here is already very familiar to them, it seems a little different in their eyes at this moment.
It's not that there's anything special about these things that haven't changed in the first place, but that their current state of mind is completely different.
Nangong Yun could clearly feel the fragrance coming from the senior sister's body, but he suddenly asked Hong Juan strangely.
"Senior sister, why is there always a faint fragrance in the girl's room?"
"Oh? How many girls' boudoirs have you visited?"
After Hongjuan heard Nangong Yun's inquiry, a trace of suspicion flashed in her beautiful eyes.
But she still kept her posture close to Nangong Yun's shoulder and did not change, but murmured in a somewhat puzzled tone.
"Don't lie to me!"
Nangong Yun smiled lightly.
"Do you know there is a Yuxiang Tower in the capital?"
"I've seen it, but I've never been there."
"I've been there."
"oh?"
Hong Juan started to get curious. She didn't know why Nangong Yun suddenly became bolder.
However, Nangong Yun continued before Hong Juan could speak again.
"I met a friend there. Her name is Miao Rong. After I escaped from Wan Zhentian, I recuperated in her boudoir."
"oh!"
Nangong Yun's words seemed to be very effective in calming down Hong Juan's mood that had just gradually heated up.
But after thinking for a moment, Hongjuan also asked with interest.
"Is that the fragrance from her boudoir, or the fragrance from my Flying Flower Garden?"
When Nangong Yun heard Hong Juan's words, a familiar look appeared in his eyes again.
"Senior sister's room will smell better if there are flowers picked by me myself!"
"You're such a slick guy, no one can ever defeat you with their mouth!"
"Who said that? Just one person!"
"who?"
"Of course it's you!"
Hongwen slowly raised her cheek, her beautiful eyes suddenly became extremely charming.
"you're right!"
