Facing Helian Rong’s expectant gaze, Yang Fei thought to himself, wife, you’re the one who asked me to see her off.
If I don’t listen to you, wouldn’t I be going against the wifely teachings?
The law says it too, we can’t go against a woman’s will.
Hmm, I’ll listen to my wife and obey the law.
Can’t let Helian Rong think I’m afraid of my wife.
Thinking of this, Yang Fei hurriedly said, "Okay, wife, I’ll help you see Miss Helian off."
Saying so, he turned to Helian Rong and said, "Let’s go, it’s quite far from the base’s outer perimeter, and there are many dangerous checkpoints along the way. Don’t cause any misunderstanding with the patrols from the Military Department."
Helian Rong smiled and nodded, and the two left.
In the room, Qin Yanyang felt particularly effective, biting her lip lightly and cursing softly, "Bastard."
What does it mean to help me see Miss Helian off? I was just saying it casually, you’re the one who can’t bear to part with the beauty and want to see her off alone, aren’t you?
Just like a dog that can’t change its habit of eating shit!
This scumbag must have big ambitions.
Besides Tong Yunshu, do you also want to get Li Xuanyu and Helian Rong?
Qin Yanyang couldn’t help but burn with jealousy.
She knew once you open some doors, it’s hard to close them again.
Allowing Tong Yunshu’s presence was just indulging Yang Fei’s roving ambitions.
On the other side, Yang Fei was walking out of Yunwu Mountain Valley with Helian Rong.
They didn’t use a vehicle but walked instead.
Yang Fei accompanying her dispersed much of Helian Rong’s parting emotions, but being alone with Yang Fei , she suddenly felt a bit unnatural.
Thinking about it, she realized the cause of the issue.
Before, she didn’t have him in her heart; now that her feelings have changed, her state of mind is different too.
She blushed slightly.
Yang Fei noticed her silence and also remained quiet.
Soon, they reached the outer perimeter of Yunwu Mountain’s Base. Afraid that the patrolling members of the Military Department might overhear, Yang Fei accompanied her an extra thousand meters before stopping and saying, "One must part ways after accompanying a friend a long way. Let’s stop here, Miss Helian, take care!"
Helian Rong was full of reluctance and regret. Along the way, she had so much she could have said, but somehow she left it unsaid.
She considered herself brave but hadn’t expected to be so timid in such matters.
However, thinking that Yang Fei only regarded her as a friend, her heart darkened, and she thought it better not to say anything at all, lest she embarrassed herself and lose a friend in the future.
With this in mind, she took a porcelain bottle out from her chest and handed it to Yang Fei, saying, "For you."
Yang Fei’s heart skipped a beat, thinking it was a love token from her. Instead, it was a bottle containing Bone Erosion Powder.
He had suffered greatly from this stuff before.
But seeing Helian Rong’s slightly flushed face, expectantly looking at him, he felt a pang and silently cursed himself for being a fool.
This is indeed a token of affection between the two.
He hurriedly took it, placing it in his chest in front of Helian Rong, and said, "Thank you, Miss Helian, I will take good care of it."
Helian Rong was secretly pleased when she saw his action, looking at him expectantly.
Yang Fei realized too late, searching his person awkwardly, "I left in such a hurry, I have nothing to give you, Miss Helian, so I offer you a few mnemonics."
With that, he recited to her the Taoist Secret Mantra for Cultivation God and Mind Stabilization and nourishing the soul.
As she listened, Helian Rong immediately recognized it as a cultivation method. During her recent recovery, after her body’s meridians were broken and rebuilt, she used the Daoist Cultivation Method passed on by Yang Fei. Perhaps it was aided by the Array from Yunwu Mountain’s Base or several seniors helping her with Yang Fei’s Six Harmonies Qi Gathering Formation. Not only did she restore her power, but her cultivation also advanced rapidly, like a flood of pent-up progress.
This state secretly aligned with the nature of the Daoist Cultivation Method, which grows stronger the further one progresses.
Now hearing the mnemonic, which resonated with the Daoist Body Refining Techniques, she understood immediately, and Yang Fei only had to say it once for her to remember it all.
She looked at Yang Fei with gratitude and solemnly said, "Thank you."
This gift was far more valuable than the Bone Erosion Powder she gave.
But it represented her feelings, and his mnemonic... hmm?
Revealing such an important cultivation mnemonic to me, his feelings are also extremely valuable.
Thinking this, Helian Rong blushed a bit more.
Life is long, and some things are best taken one step at a time; there’s no need to rush.
Thinking thus, Helian Rong felt much more open-minded, cupping her hands in martial art world etiquette as she bid farewell to Yang Fei: "Yang Fei, I don’t know when we’ll meet again after parting today. Take care."
Yang Fei was also stirred by many memories and feelings today and spontaneously said: "Previously, you were in the Hidden Sect, and I was in the secular world. We belonged to two different worlds, yet we still met by fate. Now we are under the same sky; meeting would naturally be much easier. Besides, even if we don’t meet, we can still forget each other in the martial arts world. Take care!"
Helian Rong felt her nose tingle, and she became emotional.
She worried that if she said more, she wouldn’t want to leave, which would make her cling and be looked down upon by Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, so she turned freely and took a few steps before leaping away using exquisite Qinggong.
Yang Fei watched her figure disappear into the forest’s edge, feeling a wave of melancholy.
He took out the porcelain bottle containing the Bone Erosion Powder, and his mind couldn’t help but recall snippets from when he first entered the Hidden Sect, his mouth curving into a smile.
But he quickly regained his focus, putting the bottle away in his chest.
He had been out for so long, knowing his wife’s temperament, she probably wasn’t pleased.
To hurry back, he didn’t hesitate to expend Divine Thought, using the Spiritual Power between heaven and earth to propel himself airborne and quickly returned to the valley.
Once inside, he said to Qin Yanyang, "Wife, have you noticed there’s something wrong with our Yunwu Mountain’s Base."
Qin Yanyang looked at him piercingly and asked, "Sent her off? Pretty far too, huh? If you can’t bear to part, you can keep her here; after all, what’s one more? One more or less makes no difference."
Yang Fei felt a cold sweat on his back, pretending not to understand. "Wife, what are you saying? I don’t get it."
Seeing him look so clueless, Qin Yanyang couldn’t help but laugh in anger.
This bastard, she’s becoming increasingly helpless against him.
She decided not to dwell on it, otherwise she would never get over it.
She snorted and asked, "What do you think is wrong with the base?"
Yang Fei, hearing her shift the subject, sighed in relief and pretended he hadn’t heard her previous words. "Look, isn’t Halian Zhan and Ouyang He not here, right? Helian Rong has been consistently cultivating in seclusion at the base. They haven’t called her, so how did she receive the message from Helian Zhan and Ouyang He to leave?"
Qin Yanyang snorted, speechless, "You’ve been here all day, and this base is centered around the formation you built, and you just realized there’s an insider around us?"
Yang Fei was startled: "Wife, so you’ve known there’s a mole in the base all along?" Fresh chapters posted on NoveI~Fire.net
