Chapter 108: Old Stories
Seeing this, Xiaoyao Lang did not hesitate at all, and stepped forward to protect Yu Linglong, taking the full force of Murong Hanchan's palm strike.
The carefree wanderer was so overwhelmed that he immediately coughed up blood. In reality, although the carefree wanderer lost consciousness, he still spat out a mouthful of blood.
"puff……"
Upon seeing this, Yu Linglong immediately shouted, "Yu Lang!" Then, her anger surged, and she unleashed a powerful palm strike that cleaved through the air, aiming directly at her senior sister who was playing the zither in the sky.
Seeing this, the senior sister raised her palm and exerted force. The two forces met, and the senior sister fell from the air, took two steps back, and used her zither to support herself on the ground.
Although the music stopped, Xiaoyao Lang remained unconscious. Yu Linglong called his name softly several times before he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Yu Linglong, he whispered, "Linglong, are you alright?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Linglong knew why he was injured, so she hugged Xiaoyao Lang tightly and whispered, "Yu Lang, I'm fine!"
Seeing this, the senior sister stepped forward awkwardly and said, "Junior sister, I'm so sorry. I find it hard to believe that someone without internal energy could resist my ability to draw Meng Qiyin here. I got carried away and couldn't stop in time."
Yu Linglong listened without speaking. Seeing her silence, Xiaoyao Lang weakly said, "Senior Sister's 'Dream Soul Guiding' is truly extraordinary. Xiaoyao Lang is impressed! Cough...cough cough...cough cough..."
Senior Sister smiled and said, "Your mind is clear and your desires are few. Apart from your gluttony, you are deeply in love with your junior sister. Even in the illusion, you can still distinguish between reality and illusion, and in times of crisis, you are able to stand up and protect her. Your sincerity makes me happy for your junior sister!"
Xiaoyao Lang slowly rose, gazing at Yu Linglong with infatuation, and said solemnly, "I do have a fondness for food, but all of that is insignificant compared to Linglong." As he spoke, he gently touched Yu Linglong's left cheek.
Upon hearing this, Yu Linglong naturally wanted to express her feelings as well. She smiled sweetly and said, "Yu Lang, I know perfectly well your sincerity. I don't listen to sweet words. As long as you can stay with me, I'll be with you day and night." As she spoke, she fell into Xiaoyao Lang's arms, and the two of them became entwined.
The senior sister stood alone to the side, watching the two entwined in affection, feeling incredibly awkward and at a loss for what to do. She turned around, took the sword, and deliberately coughed a few times: "Cough, cough cough!"
Yu Linglong immediately understood, but showed no shyness whatsoever. She broke free from Xiaoyao Lang's embrace and said, "Senior Sister, I'll go get the books for you right away!"
Senior sister smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, junior sister!"
Yu Linglong turned her head and said softly, "Yu Lang, come with me!"
Xiaoyao Lang nodded without speaking and followed beside him. Halfway through their walk, Xiaoyao Lang asked, "Linglong, why does Senior Sister have such a prejudice against men?"
Yu Linglong said, "Senior Sister is also a person of strong emotions. I heard Master say that she once had a passionate relationship."
Xiaoyao Lang said calmly, "Wasn't that a good thing? How did it turn out like this?"
Yu Linglong: "That was more than twenty years ago, before I was even born!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao Lang exclaimed in surprise, "More than twenty years ago!"
Yu Linglong immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiaoyao Lang: "Judging from your appearance, Senior Sister looks no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight!"
Yu Linglong smiled slightly and said, "The appearance of cultivators is very different from that of ordinary people. Some age slowly, some retain their youthful appearance (lasting for a long time), and some even defy age (rejuvenate)."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao Lang nodded and said, "I can believe the first two. For example, Chan'er once told me that Liu Changjun must have practiced some evil art to temporarily preserve his appearance. But this reverse aging is just too incredible!?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Linglong suddenly stopped and said calmly, "If I were to absorb all your inner energy, I would regain at least ten years of youth. Do you believe me?"
Xiaoyao Lang remained unconvinced and leisurely asked, "What is inner energy?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Linglong's beautiful eyes darkened. She thought to herself that since Xiaoyao Lang was cultivating, she needed to let him know more. So she started walking away and said calmly, "These things are very complicated. I'll tell you when we sleep tonight!"
Xiaoyao Lang: "Alright, what happened to Senior Sister's relationship after that?"
As Yu Linglong walked, she said, "Master once told me that Senior Sister's original surname was Zhu and her given name was Yanmei. When she was eleven years old, her parents died. Master met her by chance and saw that she was pure and kind-hearted and had good comprehension, so he took her to Tianji Palace."
Xiaoyao Lang exclaimed with emotion, "Thanks to my master!"
Yu Linglong continued, "Senior Sister studied diligently in Tianji Palace. After ten years, her cultivation had reached the pinnacle. Master was very pleased to see that Tianji Palace had a successor, so he sent Senior Sister down the mountain to gain experience. After three years, she will be able to take over the position of Palace Master."
Xiaoyao Lang exclaimed with emotion, "So, Senior Sister is actually the successor of the Heavenly Palace!"
Yu Linglong: "Not long after Senior Sister descended the mountain, she met a worldly gentleman named Yin Shen'ao. Yin Shen'ao was dashing and spirited. Upon seeing Senior Sister, he repeatedly expressed his admiration and pursued her in every way. Although Senior Sister also liked him, she remained unmoved. Yin Shen'ao, however, remained devoted. After going through many trials, Senior Sister finally fell in love with him."
Xiaoyao Lang immediately said, "As a result, Senior Sister was murdered!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Linglong turned her head and glared at him, then said, "The two of them were deeply in love. Yin Shen Ao Su loved martial arts and was a disciple of the Hundred Arts Sect. He only knew Iron Fist and Tiger Claw, and his martial arts skills were far inferior to his senior sister's. So he begged his senior sister to teach him the martial arts of the Heavenly Pole Palace. Although his senior sister was unwilling to violate the sect rules, she could not resist sweet words and finally got her wish."
As they were about to reach the Xuanwu Chamber, Xiaoyao Lang hurriedly grabbed Yu Linglong's hand and said, "Linglong, I'm really getting into it! Let's finish talking before we go in!" As he spoke, he pulled Yu Linglong aside.
Yu Linglong said softly, "Yu Lang, your senior sister is still waiting!"
Xiaoyao Lang said boldly, "Senior Sister is impetuous and has a short temper, so we should make her wait! Hurry up and tell us!" As he spoke, he looked at Yu Linglong with a smile.
Yu Linglong was both angry and fond of Xiaoyao Lang's carefree attitude, but seeing his enthusiasm, she couldn't refuse him.
He then said, "Then I'll keep the details brief!"
Xiaoyao Lang nodded happily and said, "That's fine, that's fine!"
Yu Linglong: "After two years of getting along, Yin Shen'ao's cultivation had reached its peak (master level). Dissatisfied with the status quo, Yin Shen'ao begged his senior sister to teach him superior skills. His senior sister had no choice but to promise him that once he entered the Heavenly Palace and obtained his master's permission, he could be taught all the skills."
Xiaoyao Lang interjected, "Did Master agree?"
Yu Linglong: "Yin Shen'ao was very pleased to hear this, so he urged his senior sister to go to Tianji Palace. His senior sister said that she could only go up the mountain to take up her post after three years. Yin Shen'ao could only endure it for the time being. But as the expiration date approached, his senior sister discovered that he was having an affair with a woman. His senior sister was furious and drew her sword to take the woman's life. Yin Shen'ao knelt down and claimed that the woman was pregnant and begged his senior sister to spare her life."
Xiaoyao Lang said calmly, "Senior Sister wouldn't be so heartless, would she?"
Yu Linglong: "Although my senior sister spared the woman, she had given up on Yin Shen'ao and went to Tianji Palace alone to take over the position of Palace Master. After that, Master went down the mountain and traveled all over the world. Later, I heard from my senior brothers and sisters that my senior sister often stood on the Wind-Welcoming Platform and looked down. She didn't say anything, but she missed Yin Shen'ao very much in her heart."
