AST 1632 - Feng Xi’s Consideration, Towards Sunset Palace (2/2)

Tantai Lingyan was very talented and her progression in Taichi Fist was really fast. Perhaps because she did not have many burdens, she was able to reach a state of emptiness - this state of mind was very mysterious, not akin to desolation. Coupled with her natural talent, she somehow made it into the great hall of Taichi.

This talent was similar to the one displayed by Yehuang Guwu in Tiger Form, reaching the large success stage in a month’s time. Such a speed of progression was truly terrifying.

Little needed to be said about Yin Tian’s talent. Qing Shui only demonstrated once and talked about the key points and Yin Tian said in surprise: “This fist technique is really not bad. It’s a gentle and kind fist technique that’s also very bright.”

“Can I also train for a bit?” Feng Xi smiled.

“Of course, I’m only afraid Aunt Feng doesn’t think much of it.” Qing Shui hurriedly added.

“Your uncle has already said that this fist technique is good. It’s more like you’re not willing.” Feng Xi was in a good mood. The depression of these couple of years had also sent her over the edge, but now she could finally take a breath.

Coming out of Feng Xi’s room, Qing Shui and Tantai Lingyan went to look for Lan Lingfeng and the rest. Everyone was together, but Qin Qing had temporarily went back two days ago while adding that she would be back soon.

“Sister Tantai, you’re really beautiful, as beautiful as Sister Qing.” Xue Nuo smiled.

Qing Shui was a little gloomy. He had the feeling that Xue Nuo was the kind who liked to get up to some mischief but played the innocent one.

“Am I?” Tantai Lingyan said as a smile appeared across her face.

Xue Nuo was the first to call Feng Xi Aunt Feng, but upon realizing Tantai Lingyan had become Feng Xi’s goddaughter, she felt as if Tantai Lingyan had stolen a treasure of hers. While that feeling wasn’t strong, she just felt uncomfortable. But since Tantai Lingyan was Qing Shui’s wife, she had to be respectful.

“That’s right, my brother-in-law is really fortunate. My big sister is also a beauty like all of you.” Xue Nuo happily, albeit naively, said.

Qing Shui rubbed his temples while Lan Lingfeng and Yin Tong smiled at him. Even Ziche Sha and Ling Fei looked at Qing Shui and the rest in amusement.

“Isn’t your big sister called Jiange?” Tantai Lingyan said with a calm look on her face.

“So Sister Tantai knows!”

“We are very good friends.” Tantai Lingyan smiled, as if seeing through Xue Nuo’s thoughts. Only she saw that the conflict within Xue Nuo had something to do with Qing Shui.

“Good little lass, was it because Aunt Feng recognized Lingyan as goddaughter that you don’t feel too good? You are my younger sister, a precious younger sister.” Qing Shui smiled.

“Who says so? Am I that petty?” Xue Nuo looked a little unnatural. It was unclear if it was because of what was said before or just now.

Qing Shui truly treated the bright and limpid girl as his own kin sister, except Xue Nuo might not think the same of Qing Shui. Despite calling him brother-in-law, what was truly in her heart was really unclear. At that time, he brought her away based on the fact that he was marrying into her family.

Xue Nuo was very beautiful and there wasn’t even much of a difference when compared to Ziche Sha. Among the women by Qing Shui’s side, Xue Nuo looked the youngest and was also the most vivacious, just like the next door neighbor’s little sister.

However, Qing Shui liked the older sister and not so much the younger sister. That time in Hundred Miles City, he had rejected the little lass Xiang Bao. Xue Nuo was much more mature than she was, but even then, she was still the little sister in Qing Shui’s eyes.

The next day, Qing Shui did not let Tantai Lingyan accompany him and he went to Ice Ocean Domain on his own before rushing in the direction of Sunset Palace.

Qing Shui wanted to meet with the Sunset Palace’s mistress and he wanted to know the intentions of Sunset Palace. Otherwise, this time it would be difficult for him to leave without feeling reassured.

Qing Shui possessed the Paragon Water Shield and although its had strength increased again, the journey towards the Sunset Palace would still require a lot of time. When they reached the Sunset Palace’s sphere of influence they discovered that the Water Domain was definitely stronger than the Sea King Palace. They shouldn’t be on the same level, since spiritual qi was abundant in the water here.

Without walking too far, a turtle-like person stopped Qing Shui: “Who are you? Why have you barged into our Sunset Palace Water Domain?”

It was his first time seeing a Kappa, who looked like a little similar to the Turtle Prime Minister* of fairy tales in his previous life. There was a turtle shell on his back, but the shell was neither bloated nor cumbersome. It looked more like a turtle shell-patterned battle armor. Kappas were also a strong species within the Water Domain. As long as you consider underwater power, one would find the presence of them regardless of strength. Legend had it that some of these Kappa had cultivated past the level of False God.
