465 Teaching (2/2)

Chen Pipi felt upset for him and looked at him tearfully.

Then, he noticed that Ye Su's left foot was floating above the wooden ladder and that Ye Su's white shirt glowed slightly like jade under the sun.

Chen Pipi only realized then, that his Senior Brother's cultivation state had risen again. What shocked him even more was that his Senior Brother was at a turning point in his life.

...

...

The two stood under the shade of the roof. Ye Su looked at Chen Pipi's round face and sighed silently.

Chen Pipi looked at the faint glow emanating from Ye Su and forcefully tempered his surprise and fear. He asked in a trembling voice, ”Senior Brother, what medicine did you eat? Or have you encountered something? I kept the Heavenly Power Pill with me. If you really want to break the realm, you can let me know, you can't eat it anyhow.”

Cultivators would know that the path to cultivation gets more difficult as you progress. It was like mounting a mountain, the last few steps were the hardest. Ye Su was the successor of Zhishou Abbey, and he had already walked into the deepest part of the cultivation path over the past decade. It wasn't easy for him to continue forward.

That was why Chen Pipi was certain that Ye Su had taken a shortcut when he saw that Ye Su was glowing and floating on the stairs. He looked right as if he was at a turning point in his life.

Of course, Ye Su had not taken any medication. He had never had the precious pills from Zhishou Abbey. He had believed firmly, since he began cultivating, that a cultivator would not have the opportunity to reach the true peak if they depended on external help.

He only realized that something odd had happened when Chen Pipi asked him twice.

He stood in the shade of the little Taoist temple and stared at the houses and city afar. He felt his own Taoist Heart and realized that his state, that had been frozen for the past ten years, had begun to move. There was a slight crack in it, and he was shocked speechless by his discovery.

Chang'an was not an ordinary city.

It was then, when the inconspicuous Taoist temple welcomed another guest.

It was a young girl in blue taoist robes.

Ye Hongyu looked at her older brother who stood on the stone steps. She couldn't help but tremble. Then, her eyes reddened and two trails of tears ran down her beautiful face.

Ye Su looked at his younger sister and frowned. He asked in annoyance, ”Why are you crying?”

Ye Hongyu could feel the tears in her eyes gathering like the autumn lake, but she did not wipe them away. She said stubbornly and unhappily, ”You were touched when he cried, but you only scold me when I cry.”

Ye Su's brows furrowed even deeper.

The only thing that could compare to Haotian Divine Light was the insight of man. One could focus on one point and see the world that they wanted to. Ye Hongyu looked at her elder brother. Her eyes shone with suffering and stubbornness. She looked like a little girl whose sweet potato was stolen by her classmate but was scolded by her older brother for being useless. However, when she glanced at Chen Pipi, her eyes were filled with hatred.

Chen Pipi lowered his head.

Ye Su looked at her coldly and said, ”Who are you to stare at my Younger Brother so impolitely. If you do that again, I'll dig your eyes out.”

Ye Hongyu did not seem to have heard that. She stared at Chen Pipi venomously like she was looking at a dead person. However, her eyes were not dug out because Chen Pipi who was feeling especially guilty dispelled the awkwardness at the stone steps of the Taoist temple by speaking up.

Ye Su looked at Chen Pipi and smiled, ”I have not seen the teacher in a while, and thought that she should still be at Hainan. I have other reasons for coming to Chang'an.”

Chen Pipi asked curiously, ”What other reasons, Senior Brother?”

Ye Su said, ”I have come to meet Xia Hou.”

After a pause, he looked at Chen Pipi calmly and said, ”And to meet Ning Que since I'm already here.”

He was the successor of Zhishou Abbey, and was the World Wayfarer of Haotian Taoism. He had left cultivating in the supermundane world, and entered the mortal world and came to Chang'an for such simple reasons.

If the rumors turned out to be true.

If Ning Que was really the son of Xuanwei General, Lin Guangyuan.

Then, he might be the Son of Yama like what the Divine Priest of Light had said.

The Haotian Taoism had rejected the Divine Priest of Light's opinion, and allowed the bloodbath that happened more than ten years ago to end without pursuing any further. However, Ye Su did not believe that they were right to have done that.

That was because he was at the black line that year when the heavens gave an abnormality sign.
