Chapter 150 The Three-Year Agreement

Since Lin Xiao and Pei Qinghan left, Ye Qingwan, as the Second Senior Sister, had to shoulder the burden of Misty Peak alone.

During this time, she had to both guide the newly entered Junior Sisters in their Cultivation and handle the various trivial matters within the peak.

She was practically acting as the person in charge of Misty Peak.

Just then, she suddenly felt a surge of spiritual power within her body.

The vortex at her Dantian spun wildly, pulling in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which surged into her body.

Her Meridians also began to ache with swelling pain, and her spiritual power circulated faster and faster.

This was clearly a sign of Core Formation!

Ye Qingwan immediately performed a carp leap and sat cross-legged.

As her mind stirred, a golden Medicinal Pill instantly appeared.

Three mysterious pill patterns flowed across the surface of the Medicinal Pill, emitting a rich, exotic fragrance.

It was the top-grade Dust-Descending Pill that Lin Xiao had gifted her before he left.

"With the help of Senior Brother's top-grade Dust-Descending Pill, I will surely achieve Core Formation in one go!"

Ye Qingwan tilted her head back, swallowed the Medicinal Pill, and her hands quickly formed a Cultivation seal.

The immense medicinal power dissolved within her body and surged along her Meridians.

Just as Ye Qingwan was secretly working hard.

On the other side, Lin Xiao was clinking glasses with the members of the Nalan Family.

Because it was hard to refuse their warm hospitality, Lin Xiao had no choice but to stay.

On the banquet table, delicacies were spread out, and the aroma of Spirit Fruits and immortal wine filled the air.

To entertain their benefactor, Lin Xiao, the Nalan Family had truly put in a lot of effort.

The meat dishes were all from Yao Beasts, starting from the Foundation Establishment stage, with some even being Core Formation Yao Beasts.

The vegetables were also not ordinary items; they were all cultivated to the standard of Spirit Medicine.

Everyone sighed in admiration, saying that Lin Xiao was truly a young hero.

The Grand Elder, who had initially sneered at Lin Xiao, was now more attentive than anyone else.

He held a white jade wine cup, his old face wrinkled into a smile like a chrysanthemum.

"Young Master Xiao has such great fortune at such a young age; not only do you possess an exotic fire, but your cultivation is also unfathomable. You are truly a Dragon among men."

The Grand Elder tilted his head back and drank the wine in his cup, then turned to look at a slightly round-faced woman at the banquet.

"Shou'an, you always think you are top-tier among the younger generation in Wuqi City, but now that you have witnessed Young Master Xiao's demeanor, do you realize there is always someone better?"

"In the future, you must learn from Young Master Xiao more often."

The woman called Shou'an nodded gently, her face full of eagerness.

"Yes, Father. I will definitely seek advice from Young Master Xiao more often in the future."

Subsequently, the Grand Elder looked at Nalan Yuan, who was sitting in the main seat, his eyes reddening, his voice trembling slightly.

"Your son has always firmly believed that you, Father, are blessed by the heavens. And in the end, it was as expected; we truly waited for Young Master Xiao, this noble person, to help."

"Father, you may not know this, but during the time you were in a coma, I could not taste my food or sleep at night."

"Every day, I prayed for you in the ancestral hall. Now that I see you are safe and sound, my heart can finally be at ease!"

Upon hearing this, Young Sect Leader Nalan Qingyi secretly grumbled in her heart:

"Uncle, you really have no shame."

"Back when Father wanted to use the Family resources and offer a reward of Spirit Stones to save Grandfather, you were the one who opposed it the most, saying it was Grandfather's fate."

"Now that Grandfather is awake, you are the first one to jump out and act like a hindsight visionary."

"If you ask me, Uncle, you are not suited for Cultivation; you are better suited for acting in a play!"

Nalan Shou'an, who usually claimed that "men only hinder my sword-drawing," was now in a completely opposite posture.

She had specially changed into a form-fitting gauze dress today, outlining her proud curves.

She picked up her wine glass, and instead of standing up to offer a toast like the others, she walked around half the banquet table and went straight to Lin Xiao.

"Young Master Xiao, I would like to offer you a toast."

She raised her glass slightly, her voice soft:

"My name is Nalan Shou'an. I have never understood complicated etiquette. I thought that by getting closer, I could show a bit more respect. Please do not take offense."

Her eyes flickered, and she deliberately pitched her voice.

This caused Nalan Yanran, who was on Lin Xiao's left, to silently roll her eyes.

Lin Xiao picked up his wine glass and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

After the toast, Nalan Shou'an did not leave but turned to look at the young man to Lin Xiao's right.

"Jibo, go sit over there."

As Nalan Shou'an's younger brother, Nalan Jibo was still holding half a bowl of Spirit Beast meat, looking confused.

"Huh? Why?"

Seeing that her silly younger brother was so clueless, Nalan Shou'an immediately frowned.

"Your sister wants to ask Young Master Xiao about some confusion regarding Cultivation. Be good~"

Nalan Jibo had never seen his sister so gentle, and he immediately blurted out:

"Sister, why are you so gentle today? Could it be that you've been subjected to Possession?"

Seeing that his sister's eyes seemed to want to kill, Nalan Jibo realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly grabbed his bowl and chopsticks and ran off.

Nalan Shou'an took the opportunity to sit down, and a rich scent of powder and perfume wafted over.

"Hehe, my younger brother has loved to joke since he was a child. I hope Young Master Xiao will forgive him."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, not saying much to her.

As someone who values appearances, Lin Xiao really had no interest in her.

This scene, however, gave Young Sect Leader Nalan Qingyi, who was nearby, a faint sense of crisis.

Originally, she wanted to be a bit more reserved, but now she plucked up her courage, carried her wine glass over, and tried to find something to talk to Lin Xiao about.

But she had been taken in as a Personal Disciple by Sect Leader Yun Yin since she was young and had focused entirely on Cultivation, so she didn't know how to chat with people at all.

She racked her brains, held it in for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence:

"Young Master Xiao, what does your exotic fire usually eat?"

Lin Xiao was slightly stunned and almost spat out the Spirit wine in his mouth.

He turned to look at Young Sect Leader Nalan Qingyi's cold, beautiful, yet slightly awkward face, and suppressed his laughter, saying:

"Exotic fire is a spiritual object of Heaven and Earth; it does not need to eat. It only needs to be nurtured with one's own spiritual power."

Young Sect Leader Nalan Qingyi nodded as if she understood, and continued the conversation seriously:

"Oh, that's quite cost-effective."

"We Sword Cultivators have to use Spirit Gold Ore to maintain our swords every month; it costs quite a lot of Spirit Stones."

Lin Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, and then he smiled awkwardly.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Fairy Qingyi to be so good at managing finances."

The two chatted like this, back and forth.

Even though the content was awkward, Lin Xiao responded to every sentence, gentle and appropriate.

This scene immediately made Nalan Shou'an, who was on the side, burn with jealousy.

Her eyes rolled, and a plan came to mind.

The next second, she suddenly stood up with her wine glass and deliberately raised her voice:

"Time flies so fast!"

"Counting the days, it seems it's almost time for the Three-Year Appointment between Cousin Qingyi and your fiancé, right?"

"Back then, your Three-Year Appointment was the talk of the town in Wuqi City."

"I will take this opportunity to congratulate Cousin Qingyi in advance for a triumphant victory!"
