Chapter 40 Senior Sister, Let's Cultivate Together

As expected, the Sect Head and the others were greatly displeased upon hearing this, their faces darkening considerably.

In truth, it wasn't just the Yan Family; within the Joyous Union Sect, there were quite a few Disciples from various cultivation Families.

These individuals were, to a greater or lesser extent, arrogant and domineering, a fact that was considered an open secret.

But there is no absolute fairness in this world. As long as things didn't go too far, the Sect would turn a blind eye, a tacit understanding shared by all.

Who would have thought that over the years, these Family Disciples had become increasingly arrogant and overbearing, with people lodging complaints against them at the Law Enforcement Hall or Punishment Hall almost daily.

The higher-ups had long harbored grievances about this, but had kept them hidden due to the lack of a suitable opportunity to act.

After all, the Joyous Union Sect's current prestige and influence owed much to the strong support of various cultivation Families.

If handled poorly, it could easily lead to unforeseen troubles.

But today, the Yan Family had walked right into the line of fire, conveniently giving the Sect Head an excuse to take action.

Even without Ye Fan's earlier maneuvering, Yan Kai and the others would have been in deep trouble.

"Hmph, the Yan Family truly has a grand air about it. One might mistakenly think our Joyous Union Sect is a subsidiary of your Yan Family."

The Sect Head's words carried inherent authority, the terrifying pressure of a Core Formation Realm Expert sweeping across the entire assembly.

The Yan Family members were terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat all over, finally realizing they had made a grave mistake.

"Sect Head, please forgive us! It's just that our clansman died so tragically, we lost our composure."

Yan Kai hurriedly tried to salvage the situation with words, but everyone had already formed their first impression; his explanation came too late.

The Sect Head looked towards Ye Fan, seeing his calm and composed expression, and finally spoke to inquire.

"Ye Fan, the Yan Family accuses you of brutally killing their clansman. Do you have anything to say in your defense?"

Ye Fan had been listening on the side for a while, feeling profound contempt for these fools.

"Sect Head, with your permission, I would like to ask Elder Yan a question."

After receiving the Sect Head's affirmation, Ye Fan asked Yan Kai with a smile.

Why, among so many Disciples participating in the Trial Assembly, was he so adamant that Yan Jingyun was killed by him?

Before Yan Kai could answer, his pig-like teammates once again performed exceptionally poorly.

"Isn't it obvious? The young Revered Master had gathered so many people to kill him. Something must have gone wrong during the attempt, otherwise..."

Before this Yan Family member could finish, Yan Kai's face turned green. He actually struck the man's forehead with his palm, shattering his skull and killing him instantly.

"This person was talking nonsense. I have dealt with him according to Yan Family rules. Please forgive the disturbance, Sect Head," Yan Kai said, his face pale.

This act of silencing a witness completely illustrated the saying 'protesting too much'.

Ye Fan watched everything with a smile, not needing to say another word.

"Hmph! Yan Jingyun actually attempted to act against a fellow Sect member. Even if he hadn't died, this old man would not have spared him."

Tie Wuqing was the first to jump out, stating that although Yan Jingyun was dead, those involved must be severely punished; otherwise, where would the Sect's rules stand?

The Sect Head nodded and handed the matter over to Tie Wuqing to handle.

Hearing this, Yan Kai felt the blood in his entire body run cold. This time, they had suffered a double loss, and who knew how many Yan Family members would be implicated.

There were actually quite a few other Yan Family clansmen within the Sect. Seeing this situation, they still wanted to speak up and plead for mercy, but in the end, they held back.

The Sect Head was clearly making an example of them. Whoever jumped out now would be the one to suffer, so they could only hide to the side, pretending to be blind, silently praying not to be implicated themselves.

With an order from the Sect Head, the Trial Assembly was officially declared over. In the coming period, the Sect was likely to undergo a major rectification.

"Senior Brother Ye Fan... I should head back to Pill Cauldron Peak now too... I'll come find you at Profound Spirit Peak to play when I have time."

"Sister Murong, I'm leaving first."

Yun Li said this with a flushed face, then turned and fled back towards Pill Cauldron Peak, not giving Ye Fan a chance to speak.

Murong Wan gave a light hum but said nothing, lost in her own thoughts.

The two, Ye Fan and Murong Wan, left the venue under the envious gazes of countless onlookers.

Worried that something unexpected might happen, they didn't dare to delay at all, only relaxing after returning to the Immortal Cave.

"It feels so good to be home."

Ye Fan's words, however, caused Murong Wan to blush slightly, her pretty face growing somewhat warm.

"Since when did this become your home?" Murong Wan said without turning her head.

Seeing Murong Wan putting on her ice queen persona again, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel amused. He reached out and hugged her from behind.

This bold action instantly broke through Murong Wan's defenses. She instinctively tried to break free, but Ye Fan responded with a slap on her bottom, sending enticing ripples across the curve.

"Ah... you... what do you think you're doing..."

"Senior Sister, let's Dual Cultivate."

"D-Dual Cultivate?!"

Ye Fan's words completely shattered Murong Wan's composure. Her icy, beautiful face was covered in a captivating blush, and she almost stopped breathing.

Although Murong Wan had accepted Ye Fan and was willing to become true Dao Companions with him, she wasn't psychologically prepared to take that final step just yet.

Without waiting for Murong Wan's reply, Ye Fan's large hands moved lower, hooking under her lovely legs. He picked her up and carried her towards the room, placing her on the soft bed.

Murong Wan felt her mind go completely blank, not daring to think about what would happen next. Her beautiful eyes tightly closed, her pretty face buried in Ye Fan's chest, she hardly dared to breathe.

In this shy state, there wasn't a trace of the icy fairy left; she was completely like a young girl experiencing such things for the first time.

"Give me your hand."

"My hand... what for?" Murong Wan asked instinctively.

"How can we Dual Cultivate without using our hands?"

"Dual Cultivation requires using hands?"

Murong Wan suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing Ye Fan was sitting upright on the bed, not doing what she had imagined.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong? Dual Cultivation should be... oh... I understand what Senior Sister was thinking."

Ye Fan let out a meaningful 'oh'. After a moment of stunned silence, Murong Wan's blush deepened and her composure shattered completely.

"Ye Fan, you're looking for death!"

Overwhelmed with shame and anger, Murong Wan drew her sword, ready to fight him to the death.

It turned out the Dual Cultivation methods within the Yin Yang Secret Manual were not limited to one type. Even without intimate relations, it was possible, though the Cultivation speed wouldn't be as fast.

One method involved Dao Companions joining palms and circulating their Cultivation Technique simultaneously, stimulating the Yin and Yang energies within their bodies to stir spiritual power.

Under Ye Fan's teasing, Murong Wan teetered on the edge of losing her composure repeatedly, yet found herself utterly helpless.

Just as Murong Wan was about to draw her azure frost sword, Ye Fan seized the moment to seal her soft, fragrant lips with his own. An electric, numbing sensation instantly robbed Murong Wan of her ability to think, and the azure frost sword slipped from her hand.

Murong Wan's jade-like arms wrapped around Ye Fan's neck. Her beautiful eyes slightly closed, she greedily savored theStimulate of rampant hormones until, breathless, she gradually stopped.

Looking at Murong Wan now, she seemed to have completely melted, transformed from an icy goddess into a temptress awaiting his pleasure.

But just as Ye Fan prepared to proceed to more intimatecomminicate, Murong Wan seemed to remember something. Summoning her last bit of courage, she pushed him away, struggling with great effort to barely regain her composure.

"Ye Fan... wait... not yet... I still need to report to my Revered Master first," Murong Wan said, biting her fragrant lip.

When it came to choosing a Dao Companion, if it were fake, it would be one thing.

But now that they were about to make it real, it was only right, both emotionally and rationally, for Murong Wan to inform her Revered Master first.

This sudden emergency brake nearly gave Ye Fan whiplash. But after a moment of stunned silence, a smile that all men would understand spread across his face.

"Senior Sister, let me wash your feet for you."

"W-wash my feet? What for?" Murong Wan asked, puzzled.
