I Want Your Primal Yang

After showing off his Sword Control Technique in front of his juniors, Bai Qiuran was in high spirits.

Then he returned to Seven Star Peak, and his triumphant mood suddenly plummeted. When he saw his courtyard gate, a hint of hesitation arose in his heart.

He hadn't figured out how to bring up Jiang Lan's matter with Su Xiangxue yet.

Let alone Su Xiangxue, even Tang Ruowei and Li Jinyao felt a little awkward talking about them. Looking at Miss Li's expression, Bai Qiuran remembered how confident she used to be. Her current state must be related to her worry for his safety and her self-blame for her own powerlessness.

Although Tang Ruowei didn't say anything, Bai Qiuran could tell that his Steel Plate disciple hadn't been very happy since Tang Ruowei left.

Could he simply walk in and say to her with a smile, "Oh dear, I've time-traveled and found you a Master's Wife"? Even if Tang Ruowei was his disciple, she would still be furious.

He paced back and forth at the door, hesitating for a long time, but the noise he made was heard by the people in the courtyard and the library. Su Xiangxue pushed the door open and pulled him inside.

He was pulled into Su Xiangxue's room, where Li Jinyao was also present. Su Xiangxue had already brewed a pot of tea, poured it for the two of them, and then began to play the zither by herself, leaving Bai Qiuran and Li Jinyao staring at each other.

The three of them remained silent for several hours until Tang Ruowei came to call them for dinner.

Bai Qiuran followed them to the dining table, picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of food, and then looked at her apprentice with surprise.

Tang Ruowei's cooking actually tasted pretty good.

It should be noted that before he left, he was the one who prepared all the meals at Seven Star Peak. Although Cultivators could abstain from food and drink by fasting, Bai Qiuran would not neglect himself. Besides, Tang Ruowei's cultivation level was not high enough at that time, and she could not live on air and dew.

When Tang Ruowei first came to the mountain, Bai Qiuran originally planned to train this apprentice to be a good cook so that she could serve him. However, after having Tang Ruowei cook a meal, he gave up on this idea.

Princess Shangxuan Kingdom, indeed had no talent for cooking.

Unexpectedly, after he left and returned, Tang Ruowei had honed her cooking skills to a respectable level.

According to the girl, her master left, leaving her alone at home without leaving enough money, only a pile of food.

People are often driven by necessity. Tang Ruowei had a high sense of self-respect and didn't want to freeload on Qingming Sect Main Peak, so her cooking skills naturally developed.

Bai Qiuran praised his apprentice a couple of times, and then used this as an opportunity to start a conversation, asking about what had happened since he left.

Upon asking, he learned that more than thirty years had passed since he and Li Jinyao went to the Land Where Gods Fell.

In the past thirty years, nothing major enough to shake the entire Cultivation World has happened. After he left, although there were still frictions between the Righteous Path Alliance and the Demonic Sect Alliance, both sides knew to exercise restraint.

Meanwhile, the Azure Nether Sword Sect proved its strength at the once-in-a-decade disciple competition of the Righteous Path Alliance, demonstrating that even without Bai Qiuran within the sect, they remained the strongest sect in the Righteous Path Alliance in single combat.

Even Tang Ruowei and Lin Fan, Lin Fan Jueyunzi's disciple, both achieved some success in this competition.

Then, within the Azure Nether Sword Sect, the Grand Elder Daoist Zhufeng, who had been in seclusion for hundreds of years, successfully emerged from seclusion, passed the Heavenly Tribulation, and became Mahayana Stage Cultivators, soon to Ascension to the Immortal Realm.

At the same time, Su Xiangxue, as a Demonic Cultivator, also successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation, which can be described as a catastrophe for Demonic Cultivators, and became the second person in the Mahayana Stage of the Demonic Path after Huangfu Feng.

Tang Ruowei also broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, while Li Jinyao, who was even more talented and not much less so than Bai Li, had already broken through to the Body Integration Stage.

Looking at the girl, Bai Qiuran felt that it was only a matter of time before Ji Lingyun was overthrown.

As they discussed these topics, the meal quickly came to an end. Then, while Tang Ruowei was clearing away the dishes, Su Xiangxue suddenly asked Bai Qiuran, "Is there something you want to say to us?"

Bai Qiuran a moment.

How did you know?

I can tell from your expression.

Su Xiangxue sighed, "Is it some secret? You look like you want to tell me but are afraid to. If you don't want to, then forget it."

Bai Qiuran shook her head and smiled wryly.

A strange feeling rose in his heart; Su Xiangxue was indeed the girl who understood him best in this era.

Bai Qiuran suddenly felt that, in the face of her words, telling them about Jiang Lan's situation wasn't such a big deal.

So he brewed some tea, and after Tang Ruowei used magic to clean up the dishes, he called them to his room and told them everything about where he had been, what he had done, and Jiang Lan's affairs.

After listening, Tang Ruowei was somewhat lost in thought. She glanced quietly at the side, but neither Su Xiangxue nor Li Jinyao showed any reaction.

After a brief pause, Li Jinyao glanced at Su Xiangxue and then said, "Senior Bai, it's good that you're back."

"That's right, it's good that you're back."

Su Xiangxue also spoke, then she glanced at Bai Qiuran.

Why are you still Primal Yang body?

"Initially, it was just a charade to deceive Eastern Emperor Taiyi; it was all in name only..."

Bai Qiuran replied, "Later, her Divine Office was revoked, and her health deteriorated, so I stopped thinking about that kind of thing."

"I see."

Su Xiangxue nodded, then suddenly smiled.

"It's getting late, Ruowei, could you please take us to rest?"

"Oh."

Tang Ruowei nodded hurriedly.

The three girls left one after another. Watching Su Xiangxue's retreating figure, Bai Qiuran said in a low voice, "She seems a little angry."

"Of course he's angry."

Wisdom Immortal said, "Someone chased you for hundreds of years, and then you turned around and went to get a marriage certificate with someone else. Who wouldn't be angry?"

Bai Qiuran speechless.

"Speaking of which, Old Bai, I think I need something that will allow me to Mobile on my own."

Wisdom Immortal said, "Give me a hand; all you need to do is carve a Magic Array on my skull."

Why do you suddenly want something that can Mobile on its own?

Bai Qiuran said blankly.

"Don't ask, just do it for me."

Wisdom Immortal urged.

Bai Qiuran.

"I've now achieved some minor success in the Creation Technique. How about I help you rebuild a human body?"

"I don't need that now, all I need is to be able to fly."

Wisdom Immortal replied, "The physical body is fragile, and it needs to eat, drink, and excrete; maintaining it is too troublesome."

"Alright then."

Wisdom Immortal's request was not difficult. Under his command, Bai Qiuran only took a few minutes to inscribe the Formation on the forehead of his skull.

Once she could fly, Wisdom Immortal wobbled and flew away.

Where are you going?

Bai Qiuran asked.

"Let's go for a walk."

Wisdom Immortal replied, "I won't be back tonight."

"Okay."

Anyway, this is the Azure Nether Sword Sect, so Wisdom Immortal won't encounter any danger nearby.

Bai Qiuran closed the door and returned to her bed.

The bedding on the bed was clean; Tang Ruowei must have changed it for me, and it had a fresh, clean scent after being aired out.

This girl has grown up quite a bit.

Bai Qiuran pondered this, she lay down on her bed.

It was past midnight when there was another knock on his door.

"Damn it, didn't you say you weren't coming back tonight?"

Bai Qiuran got up somewhat irritably and went out to open the door for Wisdom Immortal, only to find Su Xiangxue standing there instead.

"Uh, Xiangxue."

Bai Qiuran a moment, and all her sleepiness vanished.

What are you doing here?

"Do you remember the third thing you owe me?"

Su Xiangxue leaned closer, a fragrant breeze carrying her question.

Bai Qiuran nodded.

"Alright then."

Su Xiangxue said, "I want your Primal Yang."
