Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 484 - 232: Nascent Soul True Monarch—Hua Yaoyue!

Chapter 484: Chapter 232: Nascent Soul True Monarch—Hua Yaoyue!

Only at this moment did Ji Yuan realize that Hua Yaoyue standing before him had a weary and weathered appearance.

Her originally neatly tied hair was now somewhat disheveled, and there was a tear at the hem of her skirt.

...Did Master go out and get into a fight?

Otherwise, how could she end up like this? Normally, after I used the Fixed-point Teleportation Order to return to the sect, Master should have already received the message.

Logically, she should have arrived a long time ago.

But she didn’t arrive until just now... she must have rushed back from outside the sect.

"Alright, I will wait for Master on Wan You Island."

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he transmitted a message to Wen Linger, saying: "Ling Er, my Master has some matters to attend to. I’ll come find you once I’ve finished, then we can go together to see Brother Wen."

"Alright then..."

Though Wen Linger was a bit unhappy, she agreed.

Afterwards, Ji Yuan bowed respectfully towards Qingfeng Island, "Thank you, Supreme Elder."

After speaking, he then urged the wind beneath his feet and dashed towards the east.

Seeing Ji Yuan was safe, Hua Yaoyue finally relaxed, and she made a hand gesture with one hand, taking a step forward, instantly dispelling her weary aura and restoring her usual dignified elegance.

Wen Linger looked up at the towering woman before her and blinked.

"Are you my Senior Sister Wang You?"

Hua Yaoyue looked down at the little girl in front of her, showing a rare smile. "Indeed, so next time you see Ji Yuan, remember to have him call you Aunt Tai."

"I won’t do that, he’s my Brother Ji."

Wen Linger refused, continuing to fly around Hua Yaoyue like a swallow with the Magical Treasure beneath her feet.

"Senior Sister Wang You, you’re so beautiful, no wonder you can be Brother Ji’s Master."

Hua Yaoyue laughed as she walked towards Qingfeng Island and replied, "What, you think someone who isn’t good-looking can’t be your Brother Ji’s Master?"

"That’s not it, it’s just that Brother Ji is already very handsome, if his Master wasn’t good-looking, it would be odd, but luckily, Senior Sister Wang You, you’re beautiful. You’re the third most beautiful person I’ve seen."

"Oh? So who are the first and second?"

"The first is my mother, the second is my Master, and Senior Sister Wang You, you’re third!"

"You have such a sweet mouth, I’ll give you a greeting gift later."

While they chatted, Hua Yaoyue had already set foot on Qingfeng Island.

As soon as she landed, Kong Xifeng came out from within the island, seemingly there specifically to wait by the shore.

"Ling Er, go back inside now."

Kong Xifeng said with a laugh.

"Huh? But Ling Er wants to listen too, Master." Wen Linger hugged Kong Xifeng’s arm and pleaded.

"Ling Er, be good, be obedient."

"Alright then."

Wen Linger left reluctantly, glancing back with every step.

After she left, Hua Yaoyue smiled and said, "I’ve never seen the Elder have such a gentle side before. If the people back in those days knew the notorious ’Heartless Flower Destroyer Kong Xifeng’ was so gentle, they’d be scared out of their graves."

"Hehe."

"Maybe it’s because I’m old now, when people age, they become sentimental, and Ling Er’s nature is indeed charming."

"So, are you treating her like your granddaughter now?"

"More or less."

Kong Xifeng didn’t deny it.

Hua Yaoyue seemed to think of something, and the smile on her face slightly faded, "Elder..."

"You don’t have to call me Senior Sister anymore, do you?"

Kong Xifeng squinted at Hua Yaoyue before him, smilingly said: "Either call me Daoist friend, or... call me Senior Sister."

Hua Yaoyue didn’t rush to respond but carefully considered for a while, then said:

"Daoist Kong."

Upon hearing this address, the smile on Kong Xifeng’s face gradually disappeared, his eyes becoming complex, appearing disappointed, a bit heartbroken, even slightly angry, yet all these expressions eventually transformed into a long sigh.

"Yao Yue, it’s been so many years, do you truly feel no sense of belonging to the sect?"

"Daoist Kong, you know that I’ll sooner or later leave this Cangluo Continent... I can’t protect the Water Dragon Sect." Hua Yaoyue stated frankly.

"If you leave, can you not take the sect along..."

Before Kong Xifeng could finish, Hua Yaoyue interrupted, "I can’t protect it."

Hearing her repeat "can’t protect," Kong Xifeng stopped persuading and instead stepped forward, exerting immense pressure towards Hua Yaoyue.

In an instant, the previously cloudy skies over the Water Dragon Sect expanded, with the sunlight illuminating numerous islands.

The lake surrounding Qingfeng Island seemed to be pressed down slightly.

Kong Xifeng furrowed his brow and sternly rebuked, "Hua Yaoyue, do you truly disregard the sect?"

Hua Yaoyue glanced at the Supreme Elder before her and suddenly chuckled.

As her laughter echoed, the lake that had been pressed down surged back up, returning to normal. She continued with a helpless smile, "Daoist Kong, you couldn’t keep me during the Golden Core Stage, and now I’ve reached the Nascent Soul stage, do you think you can do anything?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Xifeng’s pressure immediately eased.

As his demeanor relaxed, he seemed to age significantly.

"Yao Yue, I’m truly old now... But as for the current Water Dragon Sect, you’ve seen it for yourself. Cloud Abyss and Xuan Xiao, those two lads, can fight well internally and externally, but truly carrying the burden of the sect is beyond them."

"So this is why you’ve engaged in such risky negotiations with the tiger?"

Hua Yaoyue addressed directly.
