Chapter 159 - Brother Lectured The Heroine
Upon hearing the name Yun Xi, Ye Anping understood Xiao Yunluo\'s reasoning, but at the same time, he also admired her ability to imagine things. He interrupted her, "Sister Xiao, you should know that I am the Young Master of the Hundred Lotus Sect."
"Yes, but..." Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips and said with some concern, "Ye Anping, you don\'t know, what kind of person is that Moon Shadow Sword Sect\'s Patriarch, Yun Tianchong?"
"..."
"He won\'t refuse anyone who comes to him. As long as he sees a good-looking woman, he will approach and flirt with her. Most women can\'t resist him. He has a high cultivation level, a wealthy background, and natural charm. Most women are persuaded by him in just a few words and willingly take him home..."
"So?"
"So…I know this might make you uncomfortable, but your mother may have had an inappropriate relationship with him in the past. You might not believe it, but there is a real possibility…"
"No, there isn\'t."
"Yes, there is, Yun Tianchong is a rotten person! He..."
Ye Anping frowned and retorted. "No! There is no such possibility, you don\'t know my mother."
Xiao Yunluo felt that Ye Anping couldn\'t accept this situation for now, which was why he denied it. But she couldn\'t say anything more. Anyway, she had already told him about this matter, and he should be able to handle the rest.
After hesitating for a while, she comforted him. "Ye Anping, it\'s okay, I stand with you. However, no matter what, you must never go to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect. You don\'t know the situation there... It\'s very dangerous. If the Hundred Lotus Sect gets involved with the affairs of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, you can seek refuge in the ***Black Star ***Sect. I will protect you."
Ye Anping sighed, somewhat speechless. For a moment, he felt that Xiao Yunluo\'s reaction displayed some childish cuteness, as she was actually worried about his involvement in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.
"Sister Xiao, I said this is impossible. You don\'t understand my mother\'s situation."
"But…"
"Let\'s put it this way, before my mother got pregnant with me, she weighed up to two hundred pounds. She only lost weight during the ten months of pregnancy."
?
Xiao Yunluo was stunned. "Huh?"
Ye Anping shrugged helplessly. "That\'s why I said it\'s impossible from the beginning."
"Then, why does Yun Xi think you and Lianxue are her biological siblings?"
Ye Anping looked at her, and after a moment\'s hesitation, he said, "Because the sword techniques that my sister and I learned are the secret sword techniques of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect: the Interrogation Sword Technique and the Leaf Shadow Sword Technique."
"Interrogation Sword Technique and Leaf Shadow Sword Technique?"
Hearing what Ye Anping said, Xiao Yunluo remembered the founding history of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect and a rumor that no one knew if it was true or false.
The Moon Shadow Sword Sect was founded by the Immortal \'Cloud Swordsman\' Yunjian.
That person was as famous as her mother, the Immortal Matriarch \'Cinnabar Moon\', and was recognized as the number one sword cultivator in the Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, he fell victim to a plot by several demonic cultivators in the Eastern Region and was ambushed and killed.
Some of these events could be found in the library, but some of them were not recorded in books, and only a few of the older sword cultivators knew about them.
Xiao Yunluo had heard the Heavenly Cloud Peak elders say that because the Immortal \'Cloud Swordsman\' Yunjian had fallen too suddenly, the two sword techniques he had created by pooling the essence of the various Immortal Sword Sects had been lost.
The current sect master, Yun Tianchong, as his son, did study them, but at the time of his father\'s death, he had only reached mid-level Foundation Building cultivation, so he didn\'t get to complete his studies.
Nowadays, both the Interrogation Sword Technique and the Leaf Shadow Sword Technique were comprised by Yun Tianchong himself.
However, being originally born from the convergence of various sword techniques, Yun Tianchong had woven together hundreds of variations, resulting in some extremely diverse techniques of the \'Interrogation Sword\' and the \'Shadow Leaf Sword\' all over the Immortal Realm.
Only the direct descendants of the Yun family knew the true form of these two sword techniques.
"So... the sword techniques you and Lianxue used are the genuine secret sword techniques from the Moon Shadow Sword Sect? Then, Sister Yun saw them, so..."
"Yeah." Ye Anping nodded and raised his index finger, saying, "By the way, I\'ll tell you something that you don\'t know."
"What is it that I don\'t know?"
"Before his death, the Immortal Yunjian compiled the two sets of the sword tactics he created and stored them in a secret cave. He deliberately did not tell Yun Tianchong about this."
"Oh?" Xiao Yunluo’s eyes widened, and she asked in confusion, "Why?"
"The Immortal Matriarch once told him that Yun Tianchong would never achieve anything in his life, leading to the decline of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect. Therefore, he preserved his sword art as a warrant and hid it, waiting for someone who was destined to get it. In that case, if Yun Tianchong would really turn out as Immortal Matriarch said, his legacy could be passed on."
With that said, Ye Anping looked at Xiao Yunluo like a teacher asking his student. "Sister Xiao, do you know what many Immortal cultivators fear the most?"
Xiao Yunluo hesitated and then replied, "Is it... not having a successor?"
"No."
"Fear of death? No, that can\'t be..."
"Huh -- silly girl." Ye Anping tapped her forehead and shook his head. "The higher the level of Immortal cultivators, the more they fear that no one will remember them in the future."
"..."
"This is also a kind of immortality, especially for those who are older. Knowing that they are unable to reach the realm of transcendence, they place their faith in this \'reputation that lives forever in the world\' kind of immortality. And faith is the most important thing for Immortal cultivators. As they say... live up to your original intention and live up to your youth."
Xiao Yunluo listened to Ye Anping\'s words with a dazed expression as if he were radiating light.
According to the records, Ye Anping was about the same age as her, but when he spoke, he sounded like Mr. Qi.
"How did you learn it? The sword technique you and Lianxue learned is..."
Because that secret place was only three hundred miles away from the Hundred Lotus Sect, he sneaked out to dig it out alone when he was six years old. As a result, he was put in confinement for three months by Ye Ao when he came back.
Of course, this could not be said. Ye Anping smiled. "An opportunity found by chance, but don\'t go around talking about it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunluo\'s face showed a hint of joy -- she was entrusted with a secret, which meant he trusted her. And trust, more or less, meant that... he liked her!
Xiao Yunluo hesitated before finally gathering the courage to sit up from Ye Anping\'s embrace and turn to face him. "In exchange, I will tell you a secret too."
You have no secrets from me... Ye Anping sighed and shook his head. "You don\'t have to."
"I want to tell you..." Xiao Yunluo leaned to Ye Anping\'s ear and said, "I want to..."
—"Sister Xiao!! Sister Li, are you still bathing in there? I\'m coming!! I\'m coming!!"
! ! !
Xiao Yunluo was startled at first, and then a blue vein suddenly popped on her forehead.
The next moment, a sound of "Plop—!!!" came from behind.
The second idiot went into the water!
After a moment of panic, she hurriedly grabbed Ye Anping\'s shoulders, stood up, and pushed him directly under the water.
Feng Yu Die\'s voice came from behind. "Sister Xiao, what are you doing? By the way, where is Sister Li?"
"Can\'t you just walk in? Why do you have to jump? Sister Li already left."
"Oh... sorry, sorry. Then let\'s soak~ The spiritual energy of this pool is so abundant. Do you want me to massage your back? I\'m good at it."
"No... no! You go over there, stay away from me!!!"
Feng Yu Die shrunk her neck. Wasn\'t it just a jump in the water? Why was she so worked up?
"Oh..."
