Chapter 205 A Mixed Bag of Joy and Sorrow
When Ye Luo arrived, the area outside Yu Xian'er's cave was already surrounded by people in twos and threes.
At this moment, the heavenly lightning had already shattered the cave, and the protective barrier that had been erected could be faintly seen from the outside.
Ye Luo quickly scanned the area with her divine sense and found that Nan Muyin was still inside. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "With Senior Brother here, there should be no problem."
Yu Qianling squatted on a tree and laughed, "Second Senior Sister, are you going to demolish the cave too? Looks like we're really in the same boat, hahaha!"
Ye Luo: "Even if Second Senior Sister is demolished, she can still live with Eldest Senior Brother, unlike you."
Yu Qianling: "...If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
Ye Luo: "By the way, your cave was blown up, where did you sleep last night?"
Yu Qianling: "Sigh, I guess I'll just sleep on the warship. At least it'll help me avoid the storm for a while."
Ye Luo was sweating profusely: "You're really getting less and less respectable..."
Thunderclouds rolled across the sky, and the wind howled and roared.
The long-awaited thunderbolt struck again, but Nan Muyin's magic weapon blocked it, causing the lightning to scatter. Seeing this, Ye Luo picked up Ye Xi, who was watching the show, and ran away.
Ye Xi seemed to find this very exciting. Instead of panicking, her little face broke into giggles. "Hahaha, Daddy, run!"
Seeing her daughter happy in her arms, Ye Luo's mood also brightened. So she used the Wind and Thunder Technique to weave back and forth within the lightning, asking, "Isn't it exciting? Isn't it fun?"
"Fun!"
Everyone: "..."
Xiao Huan: "Junior Brother Ye, you really are skilled and daring..."
Jian Yu glanced at him. "Your strange movement technique seems to be quite good as well. Why don't you go up and give it a try?"
"Heh, forget it. I still prefer to eat my sesame seed cake quietly." Xiao Huan chewed on the cake in his hand, looking at the thunderclouds in the sky. "I really didn't expect that even Senior Sister Yu has reached the Nascent Soul stage..."
"Now you realize you've been slacking off, right? Then why aren't you working harder!" The Grand Elder stood behind him with his hands behind his back, startling him.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Xiao Huan's eyes. He took a big bite of the sesame seed cake and sighed, "Elder, sometimes laziness is also a way of life."
"Nonsense." The Grand Elder glanced at him and sighed, "Do you really intend to waste your life in the sect, drifting aimlessly through your entire life?"
"Hehe, this place is nice. I could stay here for the rest of my life. Maybe I can even take over the position of Grand Elder after I outlive you."
"You brat, how dare you curse me to die!"
"Ouch! Don't hit my head! It hurts!"
After a long while, Ming Cang looked up at the gradually receding thunderclouds and nodded with a satisfied expression, "It's done."
At this moment, Nan Muyin blasted through the rubble and flew over, carrying Yu Xian'er in her arms, "Master!"
Ming Cang nodded and smiled, "Hmm, not bad, not bad."
Yu Xian'er bowed to him, "Thank you for your care over the years, Master. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have..."
Ming Cang quickly waved his hand, "Let's not talk about those things, master and disciple... Now that everyone is here, let's go to the council hall to discuss matters."
Nan Muyin frowned slightly, hesitated, and asked, "Master... is it about the finals?"
Seeing the interest in his expression, Mingcang asked, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Nan Muyin looked at Yu Xian'er beside him, his handsome face beaming with happiness, and said, "We really need to reconsider the matter of going to Wangxian City..."
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xian'er blushed and pinched Nan Muyin's waist hard. "It's all your fault!"
Nan Muyin scratched her head and smiled, "Master... Xian'er, she is already two months pregnant."
"What?!"
Inside the main hall.
When everyone learned that Yu Xian'er was pregnant, they couldn't help but step forward to congratulate her.
The happiest of all was Ye Xi, who gently touched Yu Xian'er's flat stomach with her small hand, "Hmm? Is there really a baby inside?"
“Yes.” Yu Xian’er pulled her onto her lap and pinched her cheek. “Then you have to protect the baby from now on.”
"Yes, I'll leave it to Xixi!"
Looking at Yu Xian'er's rosy complexion, Ye Luo couldn't help but click her tongue and tease, "Second Senior Sister is really amazing. Not only has she formed a Nascent Soul, but she has even cultivated an infant."
Everyone burst into laughter. Yu Xian'er blushed deeply and scolded, "Junior Brother... how could you become so naughty!"
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business."
Ming Cang raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. "In a few days, we will be heading to the finals. The Grand Elder and I have discussed it, and apart from the newly recruited disciples, all of you must come along in case of emergency."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Huan said with a bitter expression, "...Does that mean we might all have to go?"
Grand Elder: "Yes, that's right. So, you should all prepare yourselves well over the next few days."
Xiao Huan: "No, I'm most afraid of this..."
Ye Xi: "Hmm? Uncle Xiao, don't be afraid, Xi Xi will go to the competition for you!"
Xiao Huan: "Hey, that's right. Like father, like son. If you and your father go into battle together, you're practically guaranteed to win!"
"..."
"Nonsense!" The First Elder slapped his head and said seriously, "Look, even Xixi's awareness is higher than yours!"
Xiao Huan muttered under his breath, "I was just kidding... I can't really let her go."
Ming Cang: "You don't need to be too nervous. The problem of our sect has been resolved. This final is about participation and giving you a chance to gain experience. Just relax."
"I heard that the Immortal Alliance's rewards this time are quite substantial. In addition to the top five sects receiving resources from the secret realm, all participating disciples will also receive some rewards. You all need to work harder!"
"Yes, disciple understands!"
In the days that followed, all the disciples of Peach Blossom Valley, including Ye Xi, diligently cultivated.
She mastered the techniques Mingcang taught her in just a few days. Her almost abnormal comprehension and talent made even her father, Yeluo, feel inferior.
Right now, she is sitting cross-legged in the spiritual spring, beginning her attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Jun Yi stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulder, and patted him to comfort him, saying, "Don't worry, Xi Xi will be fine."
"But she's only six years old. Isn't it too early for her to reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"
Jun Yi chuckled: "In the Upper Realm, it's common for four-year-old children to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Besides, with me watching over her, nothing serious will happen."
"Alright, you'll have to keep an eye on her then."
"Go to the back mountain and practice your sword techniques without worry."
Jun Yi gently bit her crystal earlobe and whispered, "Come back as soon as you're done cultivating and make up for all the times you owe me. Otherwise, I'll be feeling lonely again when you have your competition in a few days."
"Tsk, beast."
