Gao Yan, who was on Lingyue Peak, was unaware of this.
He has become a topic of discussion among the legitimate daughters of the Xiahou family, and some have even secretly decided to observe him closely on the day of the Great Dao Celebration.
Qin Mi and the other two women have already left.
Gao Yan then moved a chair and lay down in the garden to sunbathe.
Yin Yutong followed suit and moved a chair to lie down next to him.
"Junior brother, what if the eldest daughter of the Xiahou family takes a fancy to you?"
Yin Yutong suddenly asked.
"Since you can't refuse, then enjoy it!"
He answered in a high-pitched, casual tone.
If he were to be favored by the eldest daughter of the Xiahou family, and if the higher-ups of the Xiahou family were to make the proposal, he would have no right to refuse. At that time, it would depend on whether the Xiao family behind his master would step in to object.
"You really want to marry the eldest daughter of the Xiahou family?" Suddenly, Yin Yutong's tone changed, becoming somewhat sour.
"What's wrong, Senior Sister? Are you jealous?"
Gao Yan turned to look at Yin Yutong and asked.
"Jealous? What does that mean?" Yin Yutong didn't understand.
"Senior Sister, let me tell you a story!" Gao Yan smiled and said, "Once upon a time, there was a mortal empire called the Tang Dynasty. There was a prime minister named Fang. His wife forbade him to take a concubine, but the emperor decreed that he should. To avoid being mistreated, the prime minister's wife picked up a bowl of poisoned wine and drank it. When the emperor saw that the prime minister's wife was not afraid of death, he withdrew his decree. However, the prime minister's wife was not poisoned to death because what she drank was not poisoned wine, but a bowl of vinegar. Thus, jealousy originated. Senior Sister, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Yin Yutong understood immediately. Her cheeks flushed, and she retorted, "Nonsense, I'm not jealous at all."
"Really not?"
Gao Yan stared at Yin Yutong's face: "But why did you react so strongly when I said I wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Xiahou family?"
"In short, I didn't. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll get angry!"
"Muma!"
Suddenly, Gao Yan leaned close to Yin Yutong's cheek and kissed her on the lips.
This sudden turn of events startled Yin Yutong, who then sat up from her chair: "Junior brother, how could you do this?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she got up and ran back to the cabin.
Seeing this, Gao Yan couldn't help but smile.
The two had been traveling together for more than half a year and had long developed feelings for each other, but neither of them had made it public.
Now it seems the time is almost right.
Gao Yan naturally didn't mind deepening the relationship between his senior and junior sisters.
Unfortunately, they still haven't managed to win over the Holy Maiden.
After he took the initiative to kiss Yin Yutong, their relationship naturally progressed further. Starting the next day, kissing and holding hands became commonplace.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.
During this period, none of the three women, including Qin Mi, came to Lingyue Peak.
They must be preparing for the grand celebration.
After all, these invited elders and disciples still have to compete in magic, and if they perform exceptionally well, Patriarch Xiahou will personally bestow rewards upon them.
They look down on ordinary rewards, but Ancestor Xiahou is a peak expert at the ninth level of the Dao Integration Realm. What he bestows is not simple.
suddenly.
The protective array rippled, and then a figure appeared not far away.
"Master!"
Gao Yan jumped up from his chair immediately, then exclaimed in surprise, "You've broken through to the Void Realm?"
"Excellent! Your master has broken through!"
Xiao Lingyue smiled and nodded, then her gaze fell on Gao Yan, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "You've reached the second level of the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Hehe, this disciple is lucky and has obtained some fortuitous opportunities!"
Gao Yan smiled modestly and said, "By the way, my senior sister is currently cultivating. I'll ask her to come out and pay her respects to you right away!"
"Master!"
Upon seeing Xiao Lingyue again, Yin Yutong couldn't help but rush into her arms with joy.
Xiao Lingyue stroked Yin Yutong's head: "Very good. It seems you haven't been slacking off during my seclusion; you've actually reached the second level of the Nascent Soul stage!"
"Master, this is all thanks to Junior Brother!" Yin Yutong said hurriedly.
At this moment, Gao Yan brewed a cup of spiritual tea and brought it over: "Master, you've worked hard. Please have some tea!"
"good!"
Xiao Lingyue took the teacup, took a sip, and nodded to Gao Yan: "It's delicious!"
Then he looked at Yin Yutong and asked, "Yutong, I just came back from my seclusion. Did anything major happen in the sect during my time in seclusion?"
"Master, something terrible has indeed happened. Elder Zhao Qingxiu was ambushed by the Xuanming Sect and has perished!"
Then, Yin Yutong recounted how the fall of Elder Zhao Qingxiu, a Nascent Soul cultivator, led to the battle in the secret realm, and how her junior brother killed 399 true disciples of the Xuanming Sect.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingyue couldn't help but praise Gao Yan for doing a good job.
Upon hearing that Gao Yan had been assassinated by the Blood-Clad Tower assassins, his face showed a look of fury.
Upon hearing that the Xuanming Sect had shamelessly placed a bounty on Gao Yan, forcing Gao Yan to hide in the Nine Saints Sect and dare not go out, he was even more furious. He then said to Gao Yan, "Don't worry, I will go back to the Xiao family later and have the Xiao family's Daoist Masters intervene to make the Xuanming Sect withdraw the bounty on you!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Gao Yan quickly replied.
Then Yin Yutong talked about the grand celebration held by the Xiahou family for their newly promoted Daoists.
Xiao Lingyue frowned as she listened.
Before she could say anything, the Xiao family sent her a message, telling her to come back to the Xiao family immediately!
"You don't need to worry about this. I'll go back to the Xiao family first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Lingyue vanished into thin air.
"Junior brother, you won't blame me for ruining your plans, will you?"
"Since you know you ruined my plans, then compensate me with yourself!"
