Finished by correcting the misunderstanding between him and Demon Queen Xia, Yan Xu bailed to make preparations, as did Demon Queen Xia.
Yan Xu summoned flying clouds and shot forward towards the southern pavilion, where both the armory and artifacts were located.
On his way, Yan Xu noticed very few members that were seen lately. It felt, he had yet to see the nasal trunk of some of the members that were supposed to be around him.
As expected of this eldest disciple, he had a strong instinct for a disappearing presence.
"Just ... What the hell's been going on lately? Did I miss a lot of things while being busy with the Peak Wind business?" yan Xu muttered to himself.
Lately, his head is often filled with top affairs where he has trouble dividing some planning over other things. Normally Yan Xu would coordinate with Ye Miao'er for anything else, yet Ye Miao'er these days was also frequently lost news and only appeared when absolutely necessary.
"What happened between them as long as I wasn't around? Don't say ...."
Yan Xu narrowed his eyes while thinking.
Having become stronger than before, he thought that he had forgotten the land.
"It only increased a little, but I did not do what I should have done. I have forgotten the land ...."
There was one thing he rarely did.
Yan Xu shook his head slowly and said, "Forget it. When the exam is over, I should pay more attention to them as well as Master."
Smiling faintly at the thought of the members of his wind pinnacle, Yan Xu continued on his way towards the southern pavilion.
...
While Yan Xu was heading towards the southern pavilion, in the eastern pavilion there was still Ye Miao'er who was on standby in his post for the sake of monitoring Senior Brother's movements.
Using a telescope-like artifact that he obtained his system, Ye Miao'er did not move an inch from where he stood.
"What meda?"
The distinctive voice of an immortal robed elf all in black reached his right ear, making Ye Miao'er startled to take several leaps to the side.
Having a watchful expression on his face, Ye Miao'er observed the elf in silence.
Unaware that the interlocutor was in a very alert state, the immortal-robed, black-robed elf spoke again.
"It seems so nice to have an artifact that can peek at it from a distance."
Although he had no intention of speaking sarcastically, Ye Miao'er assumed that the elf was giving a warning to him.
Ye Miao'er's beautiful brows furrowed, then she spoke in a cautious tone.
"Sorry for the irreverence committed by the Disciple. However, could the elder introduce himself first? If not mistaken, Disciple had never seen the Elder before," being firm, Ye Miao'er clenched his hands towards the elf.
Nodding lightly, the elf replied, "My name is Sheng Ji A'xia, I am the vice head of the wind peak. Have you ever seen a crater or perhaps the underground part of the Peak Wind?"
Shaking his head, Ye Miao'er replied in a stern and honest tone, "Answering honestly, Disciple has never seen it."
"I'll tell you some interesting things about this Wind Peak, but on one condition."
"I'm sorry, but the students aren't interested. Just knowing that Senior Brother is at the Peak of the Wind alone is enough."
"Senior Brother yes .... I almost forgot that you guys became top-head direct disciples. Sorry for the irreverence I said just now, I hope you didn't put it in my heart."
It was a pity, such was the heart of Demon Queen Xia. He thought, he would get a direct disciple just like his best friend. Unfortunately, this extremely potential disciple was also one of Lan Xihe's direct disciples.
"No, of course not. Vice Chief Xia did not need to apologize. The disciple never felt offended in the slightest," Ye Miao'er loosened a slight frown on his face.
In fact, Ye Miao'er had found out who and what the past was like that Senior Brother and Demon Queen Xia had gone through during observing their conversation. Only, he was still difficult to accept because the circle and passengers of the same ship were getting bigger. He was afraid that his senior brother's attention would be diverted to the others.
Demon Queen Xia on the other hand only agreed to Ye Miao'er's words and spoke again.
"If you're worried about her, isn't it still not too late to say goodbye? From what you said just now, I'm sure that we're in the same boat. But I need to remind you of one thing ..." Demon Queen Xia did not use any qi energy or anything that could threaten, yet an elegant and grand aura radiated around her.
"Yan Xu, he is not a weak person. He was also an overly benevolent and calculating person. Behind the silly attitude he often plays, there may be a secret that he should slowly reveal to those closest to him. So, never force Xu'er to open his mouth for the answer you want to hear."
Demon Queen Xia smiled faintly and her existence disappeared in the air without leaving a trace.
Ye Miao'er who witnessed firsthand the power of Demon Queen Xia found her back had been drenched in sweat. His survival instincts had been quivering ever since Demon Queen Xia changed the way she called Senior Brother. Starting from that point, Ye Miao'er had bitten his tongue so as not to be toppled by the other party's strong dominance over his mentality.
As expected of a girl with a steel mentality, Ye Miao'er did not retreat and continued to stand tall in the face of that absolute power.
After making sure that no one could notice him, Ye Miao'er sat down in his place.
His breathing that was still irregular, slowly began to calm down.
"Ohuk!"
A moment later, Ye Miao'er coughed up blood due to a disturbance at his dantian point. He immediately pressed certain points to recuperate and did some relaxation breathing.
After feeling quite calm, Ye Miao'er opened his mouth.
"A horrible woman. From the outside you look unconcerned, but it turns out you are very unhappy when there are others who peek at how you are bringing up the past of the two of you in front of Senior Brother."
The corner of her small mouth lifted and a crooked smile appeared on Ye Miao'er's beautiful face.
'He was the strongest passenger after Master!'
That was what Ye Miao'er could feel at their first talk.
A slight correction, in reality Demon Queen Xia did not give any attack nor any pressure to Ye Miao'er. He was injured from being too nervous which in the end, it damaged the flow of qi between the various dantian points. This made him suffer internal injuries due to the disruption of the flow of qi.
At this point, a small misunderstanding between them had been established. Ye Miao'er had already gotten information about the other passengers that he had to be wary of. The rest, he would fight and continue to train in order to become stronger to compete as well as to be recognized. He did not want to be a burden or a shame for everyone, for that Ye Miao'er had set a target that he might not be able to achieve without the help of the system.
"I will become stronger on par with Master, or stronger!"
That was how Ye Miao'er said that his gaze had opened.
If only he knew that Lan Xihe was also a user of the system and was much better than him, perhaps Ye Miao'er who had just said it wanted to bury himself into the ground due to his embarrassment.
......................
Eventually, I developed a condition called writer's block.
This condition makes it difficult for me to write the next chapter, because I have not written again for a long time.
I hope the reader can be patient with the series of grooves that I process back from the beginning because the old frame is no/forget.
Sorry also for not being able to consistently update the latest chapter.
To all readers, I thank you very much for following the latest chapter.
