36: Chapter 36 Why is Fairy Xia's voice trembling so much?

Just like that, Ye Changge stayed at Qingzhu Mountain for another half a month, accompanying Lu Shiqing to visit relatives and friends every day.

Lu Shiqing was in an exceptionally good mood. She frequently talked about how impressive her husband was in front of her former sisters, causing those young girls to look on with sparkling eyes, though they remained restrained because Lu Shiqing was present.

Half a month later, the two prepared to set off back to Biluo Lake.

Before leaving, his father-in-law, Lu Yunshan, specifically called Ye Changge aside, patted his shoulder with a somewhat complicated expression, and then beckoned. A maidservant wearing a pale green dress with a delicate appearance walked over with her head lowered.

"Changge," Lu Yunshan coughed lightly, trying to keep his tone as natural as possible. "Shiqing has been spoiled by the family since she was young, and sometimes she has a hasty temper, so please be patient with her. This girl is named 'Lühe'; she has been with Shiqing since she was a child, and she is careful and sensible. Let her go back with you so she can help take care of Shiqing and Chen'er."

Ye Changge swept his gaze over her. [Ding~ Target Spiritual Root detected: Eighth-Grade!] His heart stirred, and he cupped his hands and said, "Father-in-law is very thoughtful. I will definitely take good care of Shiqing. Miss Lühe, I will be troubling you in the future."

Lühe hurriedly curtsied, her voice soft: "This servant greets the Son-in-law, greets the Young Miss."

Lu Shiqing blinked from the side, not thinking much of it. Assuming her father was just worried about her, she smiled and took Lühe's hand: "Lühe, we can be together again from now on!"

Ye Changge nodded with a smile, though he was clear-headed about the situation. However, he, Ye, acted with integrity and naturally wouldn't mistreat this girl. An Eighth-Grade Spiritual Root—not bad, not bad at all; he would accept her.

After returning to Biluo Lake, another month passed. Ye Changge arranged the family affairs properly and once again "diligently sowed seeds."

On this day, he came to his father Ye Kaishan's study. "Father, I am preparing to go out for a trip to Qingxuan Immortal City." Ye Changge stated his purpose directly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Kaishan frowned slightly: "Qingxuan Immortal City? It is a long journey; what are you going there for?" Ye Changge made up a random excuse. He left ten second-rank talismans at home before finally feeling at ease.

Before leaving, Ye Changge deliberated for a while. He decided not to ride Little Gold. The journey to Qingxuan Immortal City was long, and riding Little Gold would take several months. Although he was confident that his current methods were enough to not fear an ordinary Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator, he remembered the experience of being "forcibly ridden" by that Core Formation Fairy for several days, so he decided it was safer to be prudent.

All major Sects had scheduled flying boats to the Immortal City, which offered high security. Thus, he took out the warm, white communication jade plaque and infused it with spiritual energy, preparing to send a message to Fairy Xia to ask her for help.

Meanwhile, inside the Lingxiao Sect, in a quiet room, Fairy Xia was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. Her body was twitching slightly, and her fair skin was flushed with a pink hue.

Suddenly, her eyelashes trembled, and her breathing became quietly rapid. In her mind, that handsome, jade-like face uncontrollably emerged. "Fellow Daoist Li..." she murmured unconsciously, her body trembling slightly, as if something had gently exploded within her.

"Mm..." Her swan-like neck tilted back slightly, and she let out an extremely soft whimper. Her whole body seemed to lose strength, and she slumped forward, lying on the cold jade prayer mat, panting heavily with her chest heaving.

A few breaths later, she suddenly snapped back to reality, hurriedly sat up straight, and circulated the Ice Heart Sentiment Forgetting Art, attempting to comprehend her mental state and understand if the strange condition she just experienced was related to a Breakthrough in her Cultivation Technique.

However, after a few incense sticks of time, she slowly opened her eyes, only disappointment remaining in them. "Although it is useful, it is still not enough... Does it really require being like Fellow Daoist Li to truly comprehend sentimental thoughts and thus forget them?"

As soon as this thought arose, she shook her head vigorously. "I... what was I thinking just now... it is simply... filthy!"

Just then, a subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly came from the Storage Pouch at her waist. Fairy Xia was startled. Her cheeks flushed red again, and she hurriedly opened the Storage Pouch in a panic. Sure enough, it was the communication Jade Slip she had given to Ye Changge, which was glowing faintly.

She took a deep, guilty breath before sinking her Divine Sense into the Jade Slip. A gentle and clear voice rang out. "Fairy Xia, this is Li Feiyu. I wonder if your noble Sect has any flying boats heading to Qingxuan Immortal City recently? If so, could I trouble you to help inquire about it?"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Xia replied, "Fellow Daoist Li, please wait a moment; I will help you check. I will reply to you later." After sending the message, she immediately stood up, walked quickly out of her Immortal Cave, and went to the Sect's Deacon Hall to inquire about the flying boat matters.

Ye Changge received the reply, smiled slightly, and replied, "Thank you, Fairy Xia." But in that transmission just now, why did Fairy Xia's voice feel a bit shaky? Did something go wrong with her cultivation? He shook his head, didn't think too much about it, and sighed in his heart. Having friends in large Sects is truly convenient.

A moment later, the Jade Slip lit up again. Fairy Xia's cold, clear voice came through: "Fellow Daoist Li, in seven days, the Sect has a flying boat departing that will pass by the Immortal City. I can help you reserve a seat. Do you think that is feasible?"

Ye Changge was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately replied: "That is great! Then I will trouble Fairy Xia to help me reserve a seat. How many Spirit Stones are required? I will pay it all at that time." "There is no need to rush; it will not be too late to settle the payment when you board the flying boat," Fairy Xia replied. "Thank you, Fairy."

Seven days passed in a flash. Ye Changge said goodbye to his wife and children one by one, then changed his appearance, transforming into an ordinary Cultivator in green robes, and rode Little Gold, quietly heading towards the Lingxiao Sect.

Landing at the agreed-upon location outside the Lingxiao Sect gate, not long after, a moon-white stream of light fluttered over from inside the gate. Fairy Xia was still wearing her cold, moon-white dress, her face covered by a light veil, but today, she was also holding a small figure by her side—it was none other than Ye Bufan.

"Senior Sister Xia!" "Greetings, Senior Sister Xia!" The Disciples on duty at the mountain gate saw Fairy Xia and bowed respectfully, their eyes full of admiration. This Senior Sister Xia had extremely high talent and was a personal Disciple of True Person Yumeng, holding a transcendent status within the Sect and being a Fairy who was unreachable in the hearts of countless male Disciples.

However, when they saw the Ye Bufan that Fairy Xia was holding, and saw her walking towards that strange man in green robes, they were suddenly a bit confused. "Why is Senior Sister Xia bringing a child?" "Who is this man?" "His aura looks unremarkable, and his appearance is plain; why would Senior Sister Xia come out to see him in person..." They couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.

However, no one dared to step forward and mindlessly mock or provoke them. Fairy Xia had a cold personality and a high status; who would dare to easily offend someone she came to pick up in person? Not to mention the protective True Person Yumeng behind her.

"Fellow Daoist Li." Fairy Xia walked up close and called out softly. "Are you Daddy?" When Ye Bufan saw Ye Changge, his eyes lit up, and he let go of Fairy Xia's hand and rushed over. It had been half a year, and the little guy had grown quite a bit taller, and his face had become rounder; it seemed he hadn't been eating poorly at the Lingxiao Sect.
