127: Chapter 127 Sisters, what's going on here?

The Yu Kingdom had finally managed to produce a third Nascent Soul, and seeing their national strength about to increase greatly, they thought about expanding their territory.

According to the rules of the Cultivation World, such matters were always settled first by having the highest combatants spar to determine a winner before discussing the aftermath.

Yet, unexpectedly, the two of them joined forces and still could not defeat the other person alone.

The Sword Dao attainment of this True Monarch Jue Jian was simply inconceivable!

"Hmph, truly worthy of being the number one sword below Soul Transformation in the Southern Border. This Palace has learned."

The young girl let out a cold snort, though her voice remained childish and crisp.

"Let's end it here for today. However... once our country's third Nascent Soul has stabilized their cultivation, we will come to ask for advice again!"

After saying this, she exchanged a glance with the Middle-aged Cultivator, their figures turning into two streaks of light, speeding towards the direction of the Yu Kingdom, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

True Monarch Jue Jian stood with his hands behind his back, staring in the direction they had left, his eyes cold.

It was not that he did not want to cut weeds and eliminate the roots.

It was just that at their level of the Realm, wanting to kill the other party was truly too difficult.

Both of them were veteran Nascent Soul Cultivators, and who knew how many life-saving trump cards they had up their sleeves.

If he really moved with murderous intent, it was debatable whether he could kill them, and he might instead be injured by their desperate final counterattack, which would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

However... if he could not kill the Nascent Soul Cultivators, the other party still had to pay some other price.

The aura around True Monarch Jue Jian changed abruptly.

Faint golden light flickered in his eyes as he began to capture the traces of Karma remaining from the previous battle.

With his hands forming a seal, seven brilliant stars suddenly appeared in the Void Realm behind him, arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, shining brightly.

Divination!

True Monarch Jue Jian was not only the only Nascent Soul Cultivator in the Zhao State, but also a third-tier Diviner!

The threads of Karma wove into a net in his eyes, and countless fragments of information surged past like flowing water.

From this, he captured some deeply hidden clues related to those two Nascent Soul Cultivators.

"Qingxuan Immortal City... Wentian Mountain... Lingxiao Market..."

He muttered to himself, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold arc.

"Hidden deep enough."

He waved his hand, and a sword light containing information tore through the air, flying straight towards the directions he had mentioned.

...

In a secluded Immortal Cave in Qingxuan Immortal City.

The intimacy had just ended.

Xiao Caiyue lay limp in Ye Changge's arms like a pool of spring water.

Her hair was disheveled, beads of sweat dotted her forehead, and her whole body seemed as if she had just been fished out of water.

There were still undried tear stains at the corners of her eyes.

Ye Changge held her, scratching his head with a guilty conscience.

He had been carried away just now, forgetting that when this Secret Art was performed for the first time, it would be quite... unbearable for the woman.

Coupled with the fact that Xiao Caiyue's body was already weak, and the effects of the Yin Yang Creation Art combined with the Physique after the Breakthrough of the Kunpeng Refining Art were simply too intense...

Xiao Caiyue lay in his arms, taking a long time to recover.

She raised her eyes, her beautiful eyes rolling at Ye Changge repeatedly.

Her eyes were full of grievance.

That look seemed to be saying: Were you... doing that on purpose just now?

Ye Changge knew he was in the wrong and quickly apologized gently: "Caiyue, it was my fault, I couldn't control myself for a moment..."

Hearing this, Xiao Caiyue let out a soft snort.

She turned her head away, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Ye Changge smiled sheepishly and remembered something else, asking cautiously: "That... Caiyue, have you thought about how to tell Yurou about us?"

She finally regained some of her usual dignified air, but paired with that face where the flush had not yet faded, it looked like she was acting spoiled no matter how one looked at it.

She snorted coldly, her voice still a bit hoarse: "What? Is my husband afraid?"

Ye Changge gave a dry laugh: "It's not that I'm afraid... I just think there should be a proper way to explain this, so as not to scare that girl."

Xiao Caiyue pursed her lips, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "I will tell her myself."

After a pause, she added: "You... are not allowed to bully her."

Ye Changge quickly raised his hand to promise: "Rest assured, Caiyue, am I that kind of person?"

Xiao Caiyue looked at him, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

This person... was indeed not a good person.

But towards her, he was indeed sincere.

The two of them lingered in the Immortal Cave for a while longer.

After lying down for a while longer, she propped herself up to sit, starting to tidy her clothes.

The water-blue palace dress was already wrinkled into a ball; she smoothed it out piece by piece, her movements gentle and meticulous.

Her black hair was pinned up again, secured with that simple jade hairpin.

Once everything was tidied up, she turned to look at Ye Changge: "Husband, let's go."

Ye Changge nodded and also stood up to straighten his robes.

The two walked out of the Immortal Cave side by side, heading towards Xiao Yurou's Medicinal Pill shop.

Inside the Medicinal Pill shop.

Xiao Zhi was holding a soft cloth, carefully wiping the bottles and jars on the counter.

She was working very seriously; every jade bottle was wiped until it shone, and arranged neatly.

The wind chime at the door suddenly rang.

Xiao Zhi looked up and saw two figures walking into the shop one after another.

Walking in front was a woman dressed in a water-blue palace dress, dignified and gentle, with an ethereal temperament—it was Xiao Caiyue.

Following behind her was a young man with an ordinary face, wearing a black robe, with a calm bearing.

Xiao Zhi was stunned, her gaze darting between the two of them, with obvious confusion appearing in her eyes.

"Senior Xiao?" She first called out to Xiao Caiyue, then looked at Ye Changge, "Senior?"

...How could Senior Xiao be here with this Senior?

Xiao Zhi blinked.

Seeing her ignorant look, Ye Changge couldn't help but smile slightly, shook his head, and said gently: "Where is your Master?"

Xiao Zhi came back to her senses and quickly replied: "Master is refining Medicinal Pills!"

Hearing this, the corners of Ye Changge's mouth twitched slightly.

"Go call your Master out," he said.

"Alright!" Xiao Zhi responded and turned to run towards the back hall, her steps light.

Not long after, a sound of hurried footsteps came.

Xiao Yurou walked quickly out of the back hall, still wearing the plain-colored robe from Alchemy, with some medicinal dregs on her cuffs; clearly, she had hurried over as soon as she heard the news.

There was a smile on her face, and she was about to greet that "Senior" with superb Alchemy skills, but her gaze suddenly stopped when it touched the two of them.

Xiao Caiyue stood in the center of the shop, her posture dignified.

That "Senior" stood beside her, and the distance between the two was unusually close.

What made Xiao Yurou's heart jump even more was her sister's posture.

She was slightly turned towards that Senior, and although her expression remained gentle, her slightly relaxed shoulders were a posture of being completely off-guard.

She had never seen her sister act like this towards any man.

Xiao Yurou's steps stopped in place, the smile on her face froze, and clear surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Sister... what is this between you two...?"
