"This world is wonderful, Ye Fan. Because of you, I have avenged my great enemy. I will stay by your side forever and ever from now on."
Looking at the fallen leaf, Nangong Pushe smiled and murmured to himself, "I miss you."
【
Then, she looked up and seemed to have locked onto her target.
Then, she took a step forward, her figure swaying, like a "497" shooting star streaking across the sky.
In the blink of an eye, she covered a distance of dozens of feet and stood atop an ancient tree.
This ancient tree is over three meters tall, with lush and verdant branches and leaves.
The tree has a broad canopy that blocks the sun, the cold wind, and also insulates it from sunlight and heat waves.
Therefore, the treetop is cool and quiet.
Nangong Pushe stood on a tree branch, gazing around.
Nangong Pushe looked at the canyon where he was, the only way to Wangjian Mountain!
On the ancient tree, Minister Nangong, with dragon teeth and tiger wings hanging from his waist, stood proudly, gazing in the direction of Wangjian Mountain!
Her face was filled with joy: "I never expected Ye Fan to be so powerful. He forged his own path. He's truly amazing!"
In her eyes, Ye Fan, dressed in white, stood out on Wangjian Mountain, like a god!
Suddenly, she came into his view on horseback from afar.
"drive!"
The woman sitting on the horse was a young woman with flawless skin and exquisite features, like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting!
As the woman approached, Nangong Pushe's eyes lit up...
The woman, dressed in light green, sat on horseback. Her long, flowing hair, reaching her hips, swayed gently in the wind. She was beautiful, had an outstanding temperament, and exuded a calm, scholarly air.
She gives the impression of being a beautiful piece of jade.
"Whoa—"
The young woman reined in her horse, stopped beneath the tree, glanced at Nangong Pushe perched atop the treetop, and then asked with a smile:
"Miss Nangong, are you also going to Wangjian Mountain?"
The young woman winked playfully, her smile bright and radiant.
Nangong Pushe reacted quickly, composed himself, and smiled: "Yes! You're also going to Wangjian Mountain?"
"Yes, I am Yu Lian, the third teacher of the academy! I never expected to meet Miss Nangong here!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Pushe was utterly shocked and exclaimed in disbelief, "You are Yu Lian? The Twenty-Three Year Cicada? The long-lost Demon Clan Chief?!"
"That's right, it's me?"
Yu Lian smiled, her beauty captivating all who beheld her.
Although they were far apart, Minister Nangong still felt Yu Lian's charm.
Seeing Yu Lian's appearance, Minister Nangong knew that she must also be searching for Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm...
The thought flashed through my mind.
Suppressing the flutter in her heart, she continued to press Yu Lian, "How did you get here? How do you know me?"
"I heard you killed Xie Guanying?"
Instead of directly answering Minister Nangong's question, Yu Lian posed a question with great interest.
"Xie Guan deserves to die!"
Without hesitation, Minister Nangong replied, "He was a great villain who harmed the innocent and caused my mother's tragic death. He deserved to die!"
“I have an irreconcilable hatred for him.”
"He deserved to die, so it was only right that I kill him!"
“You certainly deserved to die. Was the Dragon-Slaying Tiger move you used really taught by the Martial Saint of the Mortal World?” Yu Lian asked with a calm smile, then changed the subject.
"Is this any of your business, Third Master?"
"But that doesn't stop me from killing Xie Guanying, from seeking revenge, from avenging my mother!"
For some reason, Minister Nangong always felt a dislike for Yu Lian!
She hoped to use this favor to stay by Ye Fan's side!
"Of course it's okay!"
"Miss Nangong, I was just asking casually. Is the Martial Saint Academy in the Mortal Realm truly so mysterious?" Yu Lian smiled and said, "It's rumored that everyone who enters will break through their limits?"
Nangong Pushe narrowed his eyes slightly, then stared at Yu Lian and asked, "Why are you asking so many questions?"
Yu Lian replied with a grin, "Just curious!"
Nangong Pushe didn't speak again, but just stared at Yu Lian, trying to find some clues.
She sensed that Yu Lian was not simple, especially after she mentioned Ye Fan, she caught a whiff of something unusual.
"I have other things to do, goodbye!"
"Miss Nangong, please don't! We're going the same way..."
Yu Lian let out a charming laugh!
In an instant, Yu Lian dropped his horse and flew to Nangong Pushe's side!
Extremely fast.
"This woman!"
Minister Nangong cursed under his breath, "Seemingly gentle, but truly barbaric!"
Despite her anger, she did not run away.
She let Yu Lian approach, then regained her composure and looked at him: "Mr. Third, is there something you need to say?"
"Miss Nangong, please don't call me Third Master, just call me Yu Lian!"
"We met by chance, our relationship isn't deep, but we're not enemies either..."
Yu Lian reached out to take Nangong Pushe's arm, but Nangong Pushe dodged away...
Yu Lian wasn't angry; she remained calm and said, "Since we're traveling together, why don't we travel side by side?"
Traveling together? Minister Nangong was taken aback: "Is this appropriate? You are the dignified Third Master..."
She was a little uncomfortable being so close to such a beautiful woman; after all, such contact was too sensitive, and it seemed she should feel a slight sense of hostility!
This feeling seemed to make Minister Nangong somewhat uncomfortable...
"Haha, what Mr. Third? He's long since fallen from grace."
Yu Lian tossed her hair and smiled: "At present, in the academy, I am the weakest third teacher, and also the worst third teacher."
Minister Nangong merely glanced at her indifferently. This woman was quite modest; who among the thirteen teachers of the academy didn't know her…
Without speaking or answering, Minister Nangong vanished from his spot and headed straight for Wangjian Mountain.
"Miss Nangong, wait for me..."
Yu Lian called out several times but received no response, and a bitter look flashed across her pretty face.
However, it was only for a moment. Yu Lian regained her composure and quickly turned to walk alongside Minister Nangong…
"Whoosh!"
The two moved with lightning speed, like shooting stars chasing the moon.
"Miss Nangong, does the cultivation level of a Martial Saint in the mortal realm really only appear to be that of a ninth-rank martial artist?"
Nangong Pushe: ...
A mountain breeze blew, bringing Minister Nangong and Yu Lian a little closer. Yu Lian smiled and spoke:
"Miss Nangong, could you introduce me to her?"
Her eyes were full of anticipation, even a hint of excitement, clearly showing her admiration for Ye Fan.
Minister Nangong could tell that Yu Lian seemed to like Ye Fan as well, but she still maintained a degree of vigilance and wariness:
"What exactly do you want? Why should I help you?"
She looked at Yu Lian coldly. This woman seemed gentle and kind, but Nangong Pushe always felt a little uneasy.
Yu Lian was not angry. She spoke softly, "I have never met Miss Nangong before. Miss Nangong has no need to worry about me."
"Moreover, I have great admiration for the Martial Saint of the Human World, and I want to witness his splendor!"
She added, "Don't worry, Miss Nangong, I won't take up your time or cause you any trouble!"
Nangong Pushe did not answer, so Yu Lian continued, "Miss Nangong, I'd like to ask about the sword intent on that leaf? Is it that powerful that it allowed you to break through in an instant?"
She was surprised by Yu Lian's question. Why was this woman so curious about everything?
"And the fish in the fishpond in the Martial Saint's courtyard, they really grow up eating sword intent. Will eating their flesh also increase one's strength?"
Yu Lian's eyes blinked, full of curiosity: "Miss Nangong, can you tell me what happened?"
