116: Chapter 116 Jacaranda Invitation

A day passed without word.

They held each other tightly, yet didn't dare to look at one another.

After a long while.

She looked up, her pretty face already flushed deep red.

She whispered, "Xiao Chang saved me twice, so I stayed with him..."

"Moreover, Xiao Chang and I are both unmarried; what's wrong with us being together? On the other hand, Sister Xueyue, as Xiao Chang's Master's Wife, you actually disregarded all sense of propriety and shame..."

By the end, Yang Yao's tone carried a hint of resentment.

Hearing this, Lin Xueyue lowered her head in embarrassment, too guilty to make a sound.

"And you, Sister Xueyue?"

"I didn't even notice the two of you had gotten together. Your secret is quite well-kept."

Yang Yao looked up, puffed out her cheeks, and rolled her eyes at Lin Xueyue.

This time, it was Lin Xueyue's turn to bury her head in Ji Taichang's shoulder, not daring to look at Yang Yao.

She spoke softly, recounting her interactions with Ji Taichang over the recent period, including the true cause of Yang Weile's death!

Hearing this, Yang Yao's face gradually went blank, her heart trembling with shock!!

"Brother succumbed to inner demons; for the sake of the Sect Master position, he forced you..."

"So Sister Xueyue suffered so much grievance and danger..."

"Xiao Chang saved you, just as he saved me..."

Yang Yao murmured to herself. That hint of resentment toward Lin Xueyue vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of heartache for her.

"Alright, alright. You're both my wings. No more jealousy from now on, understood?"

Ji Taichang held both women, speaking with a beaming smile.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't be jealous of Sister Xueyue."

Yang Yao said with a giggle, "Besides, it's actually a good thing for me. I can't handle him all by myself..."

Lin Xueyue also nodded. "Yao Yao and I are like sisters, and we both love you, so naturally we won't be jealous."

"Then I'm relieved."

Ji Taichang gave a wicked grin. "It just so happens I have some knowledge that would be very suitable for you to learn..."

...

...

Five days and nights later.

Compared to the beginning, they had now accepted each other quite naturally.

Next, the three of them began to attend to serious business.

Moving!!

The number of Cultivators in the Qingyun Sect had doubled, with many Prodigies and experts joining. Combined with the massive resources Ji Taichang brought, their overall strength had skyrocketed, with as many as fifteen Golden Core Stage experts.

With the help of many capable experts, the Qingyun Sect's move was quite easy and fast.

Numerous pavilions, palaces, resources, and treasures were all stored into storage artifacts, so there was no need to carry them with great fanfare.

Ji Taichang personally piloted a Cloud Ship, leading the Qingyun Sect toward the Wuya Sect.

The ruins of the Wuya Sect were a blessed land.

But such a powerful Sect had been wiped out overnight, and to this day, no news of the culprit had emerged. This created a huge stir in Lanzhou, making countless Sects and Cultivators tremble with fear; for a short while, no one dared to occupy the Wuya Sect ruins.

Few even dared to approach, treating the place as a taboo for fear of inviting trouble.

After arriving at the Wuya Sect ruins.

Ji Taichang didn't even need to lift a finger; the people of the Qingyun Sect were very sensible and busied themselves clearing debris, filling cracks and pits in the ground, setting up the Protective Sect Array, and rebuilding pavilions and palaces...

The scene was one of bustling activity.

Watching the new and vast Sect territory take shape, Ji Taichang stood with his hands behind his back, a gratified smile appearing on his face.

From now on, this would be his new base, his home in this cultivation world!

Just as Ji Taichang was preparing to win over Qin Ruolin.

A communication artifact at his waist suddenly vibrated; it was the Black-Armored Woman contacting him!

"I have found traces of the astral sand. I need your help, come quickly!!"

A message came through, providing a spatial coordinate.

Ji Taichang thought for a moment, summoned Lin Xueyue and Yang Yao, told them about the Blood Lotus Sect, and informed them that he needed to leave the Qingyun Sect for a while.

Ji Taichang instructed, "This place isn't far from Lanzhou City. If you run into trouble, you can seek help from the Lanzhou Princes Mansion."

"Mhm, don't worry. I'll take good care of the Qingyun Sect!"

Lin Xueyue nodded vigorously, her expression serious.

After her Innate Sword Bone returned, her current strength was enough to be called the number one person below the Nascent Soul Stage!

With the Protective Sect Array and Low Grade Magic Treasures, the Qingyun Sect could hold its own even if an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage enemy attacked.

After making preparations, Ji Taichang stepped onto the azure kite sword and accelerated to an incredible speed, heading toward the meeting place with the Black-Armored Woman.

This place was not within the borders of the Great Wu Dynasty.

It even crossed the territories of two Dynasties, located at the edge of the land, beyond which lay the Endless Ocean!

On the coastline, a tall figure stood quietly.

She wore black heavy armor, stood seven feet tall, with golden hair reaching her hips, dancing in the wind like a golden cape.

The armor was cold and ferocious, covered in barbs at the joints. The heart-protecting plate on her chest was pushed out into two rounded curves, a breathtaking sight.

"Speaking of which, we've known each other for so long, yet I still don't know your name."

A streak of azure Sword Qi descended from the sky, transforming into a tall and upright figure.

Ji Taichang turned around, admiring her graceful figure as he spoke casually.

"Lan Huaying."

The Black-Armored Woman's voice was calm as she gave her true name.

Ji Taichang added, "I am Ji Aotian, from the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect. And you?"

This time Lan Huaying didn't answer. Instead, she grabbed Ji Taichang's hand, her body radiating powerful aura fluctuations as she pulled him toward the Endless Ocean at incredible speed.

Ji Taichang winked at her. "Miss Lan, where are we going? You're not thinking of eloping with me, are you?"

Lan Huaying rolled her eyes in annoyance. "The astral sand is on an island. Stop talking nonsense!"

Meanwhile.

In the Medicine King Valley.

In the Immortal Cave belonging solely to Lin Fan, a ring on his finger glowed, and a hazy and graceful phantom emerged, clad in a red dress. Although her face could not be clearly seen, she exuded an air of peerless elegance.
