146: We got it? Yes, we got it!

The return journey after leaving the Yaochi Holy Land seemed somewhat dull and tedious.

After several days of boring flight in the immortal carriage, Lu Yi lay listlessly by the window lattice, watching the monotonous sea of clouds outside.

Finally, at the end of the horizon, that familiar and breathtakingly magnificent silhouette slowly emerged.

Even from a great distance, it could cause a profound shock to the soul.

Primordial Holy Land, he had finally arrived.

Everyone inside the carriage had different reactions.

"Whew... finally back."

Lu Yi and Ling'er glanced at each other.

Both saw a sense of relaxation and joy in each other's eyes, the kind felt by a traveler returning home.

To them, no matter how exciting the outside world was, only this place was where they could truly lower all defenses and sleep peacefully.

As for Wu Mingyue and Qing'er, who were visiting for the first time, their reactions were much more exaggerated.

The two of them were like country girls who had never seen the world, their faces pressed against the window, eyes wide like copper bells.

"Wow—! Qing'er, look! That mountain is floating!"

"And that! The water from that waterfall is flowing down from the sky!"

Although they had seen many things before,

this was the legendary number one Holy Land of the Heavenly Profound Realm!

The immortal atmosphere that only existed in legends filled them with novelty and excitement, and they couldn't stop exclaiming "Wow!"

The only exception was Leng Ningshuang.

She sat quietly in the corner, her expression the most complex of all.

She looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, her gaze somewhat dazed.

Although she had returned,

her state of mind had undergone an earth-shattering change... "Rumble..."

With a slight vibration, the massive immortal carriage slowly landed on the Reception Square.

As soon as it came to a halt, before Ling'er could even open the door,

Wu Mingyue impatiently pushed the door open and rushed out.

"Wow! What a huge square!"

She took a deep breath, looking intoxicated:

"Such dense Spiritual Qi! I feel like taking one breath here is worth half a day of Cultivating outside!"

"Is this the Primordial Holy Land? It's amazing!"

Although Qing'er was slightly more reserved, she followed closely behind.

She looked at the exquisite architecture and dense Spiritual Qi around her, her eyes full of shock and longing.

"As they say, East or West, home is best."

Lu Yi slowly stepped off the carriage and gave a long stretch, his bones cracking and popping.

He took a deep breath of the unique air here, mixed with a faint medicinal fragrance and an aura of majesty, and sighed:

"The air at home is still the sweetest."

After a simple moment of sentiment, Lu Yi began to arrange everyone's destination.

He called Ling'er over and instructed:

"Ling'er, I'll leave these two girls to you. Just arrange two rooms for them in the Holy Son's Palace. If they need anything, go straight to the warehouse to get it, don't be stingy. Also, show them around so they don't get lost later."

"Yes, Young Master."

Ling'er obediently took the order and led the two curious girls to the rear hall to settle in.

Soon, on the vast square, only Lu Yi and Leng Ningshuang remained.

With the others gone, the atmosphere instantly became somewhat subtle.

Lu Yi turned around and looked at Leng Ningshuang, who was dressed in white, cold and ethereal.

A mischievous, ill-intentioned smirk curled at the corner of his mouth.

He deliberately took a step forward, cupped his hands, and gave a very respectful bow.

Then, he intentionally elongated his voice and said sarcastically:

"As for Martial Aunt, you are an 'old-timer' here and know your way around. I suppose... I don't need to specifically arrange a place for you to stay?"

Upon hearing the words "Martial Aunt,"

Leng Ningshuang's originally jade-white earlobes instantly turned bright red, as if they were on fire.

This title was like a constant reminder of that taboo relationship where she had 'offended her superior.'

"You..."

She glared at Lu Yi in shame and indignation, her gaze carrying three parts anger and seven parts embarrassment.

She bit her lip and warned in a low voice:

"In the Holy Land... don't talk nonsense! And don't call me that recklessly! If anyone hears anything... I... I won't let you off!"

Although she felt awkward to death,

she also knew that in public, she had to maintain the surface level of seniority and dignity.

"Whew..."

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the blush on her face, and struggled to restore her usual frost-cold, aloof appearance.

She nodded faintly, trying to make her voice sound calm:

"No need, I can return on my own."

After saying that, she didn't dare to look at Lu Yi again and directly transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky.

At maximum speed, she flew toward the Spiritual Peak that belonged to her... After seeing everyone off,

the playful grin on Lu Yi's face instantly vanished.

He straightened his somewhat messy clothes and hat, his expression becoming a bit more serious.

"Time to report back."

His figure flashed; he didn't return to his own sleeping quarters to rest.

Instead, he turned into a streak of light and flew toward the Forbidden Ground in the back mountains of the Primordial Holy Land.

He had to report to the old man.

Passing through layers of Restrictions, Lu Yi arrived in the Forbidden Ground with practiced ease.

Then, he familiarly entered the Immortal Cave of the Taichu Old Ancestor.

Inside the Taichu Old Ancestor's Immortal Cave, the furnishings were extremely simple.

There was only a prayer mat, a stone table, and a pot of plain tea.

An old man wearing a gray robe with white hair and beard, looking ordinary like the old man next door, was sitting cross-legged on the prayer mat.

He seemed to have already guessed that Lu Yi would come and was currently looking at the entrance with a smile.

"Old man, I'm back."

Lu Yi walked in casually, not even bowing, and sat directly on the stone stool by the stone table.

The Old Ancestor opened his eyes, and his gaze, which seemed able to see through the past and future, scanned Lu Yi up and down.

A glint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He didn't ask how Lu Yi's cultivation progress was.

Nor did he ask about the earth-shattering changes that had occurred in Yaochi.

Instead, he suddenly grinned, revealing a very "indecent," extremely lecherous smile that only men would understand.

He stroked his long, snow-white beard and leaned forward slightly.

He asked three words directly:

"Won her over?"

Lu Yi chuckled upon hearing this.

He didn't feel embarrassed by the Old Ancestor's bluntness; instead, they looked like two accomplices in crime.

He was equally concise, answering with three words in a somewhat boastful tone:

"Won her over!"

"Hahaha!"

"Good boy! I knew you could do it!"

The old and the young smiled at each other.

The Immortal Cave was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Their laughter rose and fell, hardly sounding like righteous figures, as it echoed in the empty Immortal Cave.

It was full of a certain unspoken understanding and... the Old Ancestor's undignified joy.
