Chapter 250: Little Ling is the one who understands me best!

“Ah!” Song Qingshu slammed directly into Yang Guo’s palm strike and was sent flying backward once again.

However, this time Song Qingshu was not as lucky as the first time; he couldn’t manage to get up. The last words he uttered before passing out were: “My Dantian!”

Yu Xian heard this, his face filled with doubt, and then he looked toward Yang Guo.

Does this disciple understand him so well?

“Oh no, Master, I seem to have accidentally crippled his Dantian. Do you think Real Person Zhang will blame me? If Real Person Zhang blames me, Master, you must protect me!” Yang Guo ran directly up to Yu Xian and said with a look of lingering fear.

Yu Xian:…

If you weren’t my disciple, I would believe you!

“Hmm, don’t worry. Real Person Zhang won’t do anything to you; he will only praise you for achieving such cultivation at such a young age.” Yu Xian forced a smile; this kid was becoming increasingly cunning.

“That’s good, that’s good!” Yang Guo pretended to pat his chest, looking relieved.

“Elder Xiao, send someone to take him back to Mountain,” Yu Xian instructed Xiao Feng.

If Song Qingshu hadn’t been Old Daoist Zhang’s grand-disciple, he would have died the very first time they met at Mountain.

“Yes, Young Master. Young Master, we also found quite a few treasures and silver from Canhe Village. How should these be handled?” Xiao Feng requested instructions.

How much could there be in the main storeroom? He had already collected the bulk of it into the System Space, so Yu Xian waved his hand and said, “Let Lin Pingzhi handle it all. If any of you have needs, ask Lin Pingzhi for it. All of that will be used as the reserve fund for my Beyond the Heavens.”

“Understood.” After Xiao Feng acknowledged, he walked over to Song Qingshu, grabbed him with one hand, and turned to leave.

“Master, does the Murong Family have any other forces?” Yang Guo asked, as he understood the principle of cutting weeds by the roots.

“Even if they do, they won’t amount to anything significant. Once the Old Monster of the Murong Family is dead, the others pose no threat. You don’t need to worry about the Murong Family matters; leave them to your Junior Brother and Elder Xiao. You should go into seclusion and strive for a Breakthrough to Great Grandmaster. In a world where Grandmasters are as common as dogs and Great Grandmasters walk everywhere, your Peak Grandmaster cultivation really isn’t enough to impress,” Yu Xian said.

“Yes, Master!” After seeing several of his Master’s wives, Yang Guo also realized how lacking his own strength was.

Among his Master’s wives, several were quite young, such as Little Dragon Girl and Wang Yuyan, who were already at the Late Stage Great Grandmaster level. As for him, he was still at Peak Grandmaster—truly not enough.

“Master, I will go into seclusion immediately. I won’t come out until I reach Great Grandmaster!” Yang Guo stated firmly.

“Go ahead. Don’t hold back on the Medicinal Pills,” Yu Xian said with a smile.

“Yes!” Yang Guo replied, then turned and left.

Seeing Yang Guo leave, Yu Xian thought about going to see Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling. He hadn’t seen the two of them for many days and wondered how they were doing now.

With that thought, Yu Xian headed toward Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling’s residence.

In the courtyard where Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing resided, Mu Wanqing was pacing anxiously.

“Sister Mu, please stop walking around. My eyes are getting dizzy watching you,” Zhong Ling said, sitting to the side, looking boredly at Mu Wanqing.

“Brother Yu and the others were said to be taking action, and the commotion was quite large. I don’t know how things are now. Moreover, after he returned, he hasn’t even come to see us, and just left again,” Mu Wanqing said worriedly.

“Don’t worry, Sister-in-law. Brother Yu is so powerful; he won’t have any issues! Besides, I heard those other sisters are all very formidable. So, Sister Mu, I think you shouldn’t be worrying about Brother Yu right now. You should be thinking about how to improve your own strength, otherwise, if something happens to Brother Yu, you won’t be able to help at all,” Zhong Ling said seriously.

She heard that in Yu Xian’s operation this time, apart from Yang Guo and Elder Xiao, everyone else was one of Yu Xian’s wives, and every single one of them was a Great Grandmaster. But her Sister Mu barely qualified as First-Class. She couldn’t help but worry for Mu Wanqing.

With Mu Wanqing’s mediocre skills, how could she stay by Yu Xian’s side?

“I… I want to, but I don’t know how to improve!” Mu Wanqing replied, also feeling distressed. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but she didn’t know where to start.

She didn’t have decades of Internal Energy directly passed down by her maternal grandfather like Wang Yuyan did. She only had her mother, and she didn’t even know where her mother was now!

“Why don’t you just tell Brother Yu directly? Brother Yu is so powerful. If he is willing to teach you, you can learn formidable Martial Arts,” Zhong Ling suggested.

“But I have to see him first! It’s been so many days since we last saw him. Has he forgotten about us? He has so many beautiful women around him; he might have forgotten about us…” Mu Wanqing became less confident the more she spoke.

Then she couldn’t help but recall what Wang Yuyan had told her.

If she and Yu Xian had already broken through that barrier long ago, would Yu Xian still forget her? Shouldn’t Yu Xian take responsibility for this?

Now, she and Yu Xian only shared some affection, but regarding that affection… Mu Wanqing had no confidence at all. After all, there were too many outstanding women around Yu Xian. It was understandable if Yu Xian forgot about her.

Mu Wanqing regretted it.

If she had been more proactive earlier!

“I believe Brother Yu won’t forget us. It’s just that Brother Yu hasn’t finished his business yet, so he hasn’t had time to visit us temporarily,” Zhong Ling explained on Yu Xian’s behalf.

“Little Ling is the one who understands me best!” At this moment, Yu Xian’s voice came from the doorway.

Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing looked toward the door in surprise and delight. Seeing that it was indeed Yu Xian, they both rushed toward him.

Zhong Ling threw herself directly into Yu Xian’s arms, but Mu Wanqing was a step slower. She could only stop her steps abruptly, looking at Yu Xian with some reluctance and some anticipation.

“Brother Yu, why are you only back now? Sister Mu and I missed you so much,” Zhong Ling said, clinging to Yu Xian and acting spoiled.

Yu Xian affectionately stroked Zhong Ling’s head. The little girl was still so cute, but his gaze lingered on Mu Wanqing.

Meeting Yu Xian’s gaze, Mu Wanqing instantly lowered her head in shyness.

Yu Xian patted Zhong Ling’s back and then said, “Brother Yu missed you too. Didn’t I come to see you as soon as I got back?”

“Mhm, mhm, I knew Brother Yu wouldn’t forget us.” As Zhong Ling spoke, she actively withdrew from Yu Xian’s embrace and looked toward Mu Wanqing with a smile.

The meaning was clear: Your turn, Sister Mu, go!

Both Mu Wanqing and Yu Xian understood Zhong Ling’s meaning.

Yu Xian very expectantly opened his arms wide, but Mu Wanqing hesitated, not daring to step forward.

The initial impulse had passed. Now, being asked to be proactive made her feel… a bit too embarrassed.

But then she immediately thought of Wang Yuyan’s words, so she mustered her courage and threw herself into his arms.

Yu Xian’s lips curved into a satisfied smile, and then he held Mu Wanqing tightly.

“Wan Qing, what about you? I want to hear you say you missed me in your own words,” Yu Xian asked with a smile.

“I… I missed you too,” Mu Wanqing finally said it out loud.
