Ye Ao maintained a stunned expression for quite a while before coming to his senses.
He quickly adjusted the slightly open collar of his robe, cleared his throat twice with a fist in front of his mouth, and said, "Cough, cough— Young Mistress Xiao, please wait here for a moment. I have something private to discuss with my son."
Xiao Yunluo responded blankly, "Ah– Junior understands."
Then Ye Ao gave a meaningful look to Kong Yulan, instructing her to serve tea and refreshments, and promptly stood up, pulling Ye Anping's arm to forcibly lead him out of the Heavenly Pavilion.
When they were far enough away, beyond the hearing range of Xiao Yunluo, Ye Ao looked at Ye Anping with a horrified expression.
He had many questions in his mind but didn't know where to start.
After struggling for a while, he managed to say, "How did you manage to bring the Moon Dan Master daughter here?!"
Ye Anping, anticipating his father's reaction, sighed slightly and replied, "She came over for some business, and I just showed her the way. What do you mean by bringing her back?"
"Business?" Ye Ao was completely puzzled. After some thought, his eyes widened even more. "Could it be... you've caused a big trouble?"
Ye Anping, with a disdainful look, stared at him. "Dad, do you really think so poorly of your son?"
"That girl personally came to our insignificant sect. If it weren't for you provoking her, causing her to come and seek justice, what else could it be?" Ye Ao covered his mouth and nose. "Did you make a mess of things?"
"Dad, do you really see me as that worthless? Is it impossible that Moon Dan Master wants her daughter to be my Dao Companion?"
Hearing this, Ye Ao suddenly took a deep breath and quickly covered Ye Anping's mouth. "Sigh... Ping'er, you mustn't casually say such things. You don't know, but that Moon Dan Master is not an ordinary Void Return cultivator. she is one of the five Primordial Immortals of the Immortal Family."
Ye Anping removed his father's hand, saying, "I know..."
"You know and yet still dare to bring her home?"
"I said, she came on her own..."
Ye Ao interrupted, "I've never interfered with your affairs before, but that Xiao girl is not good. What about the previous girl, Feng Yudie? Wasn't she good enough?"
Ye Anping's eyes went dark. "To be honest, she... doesn't quite measure up."
Ye Ao shook his head and reiterated, "In any case, you must not have any thoughts about that girl. Didn't you tell me before that you shouldn't aim too high? Have you forgotten?"
"I never said I wanted her to be my Dao companion." Ye Anping shrugged slightly. "It's you who's overthinking. She came over to deliver a message and, by the way, to borrow our Spirit Gathering Array for building her foundation."
"Ah? Came to deliver a message?" Ye Ao looked confused. "Why would a Young Mistress of a great sect like her act as a messenger?"
"You'll know when you read the jade pendant she brought later."
Ye Ao fell silent for a moment and asked, frowning, "So... did you really cause trouble?"
"No—why are we going in circles again?"
His old man didn't seem to have any grand ambitions and had a unique mentality of a supporting character.
Ye Anping glanced at him blankly and sighed in his heart.
Then, he didn't want to discuss this matter with his father any longer.
Leaning on his chin, he thought for a while and smoothly changed the topic, "Dad, speaking of which, do we have any connection with the Chi Dragon Mansion?"
"Chi Dragon Mansion?" Ye Ao didn't know why he suddenly mentioned the Chi Dragon Mansion, looking puzzled.
He asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to go to Chi Dragon Mansion? Why leave the Profound Star Sect and go there?"
Ye Anping smiled slightly, saying, "Since it's called the intersection of mortals and immortals. I'm just curious about what it's like. So, do we have any connection with the Chi Dragon Mansion?"
"No.."
"Then, while I'm building my foundation, you can think of a way to help and get two invitations to next year's Chi Dragon Conference, okay?"
"What? You want to go to the 'Chi Dragon Conference'? What's your cultivation level? And why do you need two? Who are you going with?"
"With Junior Sister Pei."
"Pei girl..." Ye Ao glanced around and asked, "By the way, why didn't Pei girl come back with you?"
"That girl is building her foundation at Profound Star Sect."
"I see..." Ye Ao thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, it's good to go and broaden your horizons."
"Thank you, father." Ye Anping quickly bowed, grinning, "One of these days, I'll invite Moon Dan Master to join you for tea and chess."
Ye Ao hesitated for a moment and finally gave him a stern look. "If you really have the ability to invite Moon Dan Master. I'll call you 'Dad,' alright?"
"... ..."
Ye Anping shook his head, smiled, and then walked straight back to the Heavenly Pavilion.
When he returned to the Heavenly Pavilion, he saw Xiao Yunluo sitting next to his mother.
Xiao Yunluo was blushing, and his mother had a motherly smile on her face.
After a brief thought, Ye Anping guessed what they had just talked about.
It was probably something like:
"Xiao girl, do you like our Anping?"
"?!"
Xiao Yunluo was stunned, and before she could speak, Kong Yulan nodded understandingly.
"Such a big reaction, definitely means she likes him. Xiao girl, Anping is really good, look how handsome he is..."
"Ye— Madam Ye, what are you saying..."
At this moment, Ye Ao also walked in from outside.
He pretended to have the demeanor of a senior and looked at Xiao Yunluo, asking, "Young Mistress Xiao, I wonder what brings you to our Hundred Lotus Sect?"
Xiao Yunluo was a little stunned, quickly stood up, and took out a jade pendant from her waist storage bag, handing it over with both hands.
"Ah—I, this junior, received an order from Elder Qi of Profound Star Sect to deliver this jade pendant to Master Ye."
"I see, thank you for your trouble."
Ye Ao nodded knowingly, took the jade pendant, and used his spiritual sense to glance at it. In an instant, his composed expression disappeared, and his eyes widened.
"What? Young Mistress Xiao, is this true?"
"Ah..." Xiao Yunluo shrank her neck, hurriedly replied, "The junior doesn't know the content of the jade pendant. Please let Master Ye judge for yourself."
"... ..."
Ye Ao swallowed saliva, glanced at Ye Anping beside him, and remained silent for a while before saying, "Anping, take Young Mistress Xiao to rest first. You must be tired from the journey."
"I understand." Ye Anping glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, then sighed suddenly, and said, "Senior Sister Xiao, come with me."
"Ah... okay." Xiao Yunluo nodded shyly, then bowed to Ye Ao and Kong Yulan before following Ye Anping.
After the two left the Heavenly Pavilion, Ye Ao closed the door, sat back at the desk, and looked at the jade pendant in his hand with a troubled expression.
"Husband, what's wrong? What does it say?"
"There are two things. First, the Profound Star Sect wants us to manage the Spirit Stone mine in Chi Yun Valley. Second, Anping is requested to be the study companion for Young Mistress Xiao."
"Isn't that good?" Kong Yulan raised her eyebrows. "Just now, I asked, and that Xiao girl obviously has a good impression of our Anping. That girl has a nice temperament, and she looks pretty, just a bit short."
Ye Ao looked at her speechlessly. "Yulan, that's the sole daughter of the Moon Dan Master!"
"Doesn't that show how good our Anping is? He has caught the attention of that old monster and had her arranged for him to be the study companion for her only daughter…. Anping is much better than you."
"..."
"In the past, when you were fifteen, you were chased by two dogs and stuck in a tree for three days and nights. It was your mother who came to rescue you. Look at our Anping, also fifteen, see how much difference there is?"
Ye Ao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, Yulan, why did you agree to become my Dao companion back then?"
Kong Yulan looked at him with a speechless expression, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You were good-looking and seemed honest and simple."
Ye Ao raised his eyebrows. "Wasn't it because you were incredibly big back then, weighed two hundred kilograms, and no one else wanted to be your Dao companion? Although you've turned into a fairy now—"
Swish—
A spiritual light flashed in Kong Yulan's right hand, and a whip appeared in her hand.
