Eternal Tale

With a soft whoosh, the words had barely left her lips when the surrounding area fell into a sudden silence.

Mu Qingyao and Feng Jinyu’s pupils contracted, almost turning vertical, as a chilling aura enveloped their bodies.

This was bad—something big was about to happen!

Fear flickered in their eyes as they looked at Chi Ye as if she were already a dead person... It was one thing to argue with them, but this woman actually dared to look down on Heling!

Venerable Yuxuan was her elder sister, and the Venerable of Longevity from the Mengmu Sea Region personally escorted her eldest brother out of prison, with thousands of fierce spirits following behind. It was as if they were truly going to attack the Dongxuan Dao Academy!

Her eldest brother was friends with all the Dao Children, and he had once declared that anyone in the academy who dared to bully her would face his wrath!

Given her astonishing background, to put it simply, whenever the Great Elders met at a tavern, they all had to toast to Heling.

Seeing the expressions of these two, even Mu Qingyao showed such a look, Chi Ye’s heart suddenly trembled. What... what did this mean?!

She swallowed hard, wondering why no one was speaking. A sense of inexplicable fear crept into her demeanor. Could this woman really have such an astounding background?!Nangong Heling paused for a moment upon hearing the words, but her face still bore a gentle smile.

The path of cultivating immortality was not one to be swayed by words; maintaining composure was an important lesson her eldest brother had taught her.

Xiao Yi was shocked as she put down the Void Transmission Disk, her heart in turmoil. The moment Nangong Heling spoke, she had already gone to investigate. A woman with such a distinctive appearance was too easy to recognize...

She quietly transmitted a message: ”Fellow Daoist Chi... she... she is Nangong Heling.”

Chi Ye’s body trembled violently, almost causing her soul to shudder. Others might not know much about the recent major event, but she knew quite a bit. Nangong Heling’s eldest brother had been released from the thousand-year Immortal Prison!!

Moreover, this woman’s background was so significant that she was almost a taboo subject in their circle. Who would have thought it was her!

Suddenly, a fierce wind arose.

A cold-faced man with a jade crown stepped through the air, his gaze domineering as he swept over all the disciples present. Behind him followed disciples from the academy, also in the late stage of Void Refinement.

”Greetings, Dao Child!”

”Greetings, Dao Child!”

...

The surrounding people were in shock. What was going on? How did watching a spectacle turn into such a big deal, with even the Dao Child of Dongxuan Dao Academy personally stepping in?!!

Only one person did not bow but looked at Mo Ye Han with a meaningful gaze, like an old acquaintance.

Mo Ye Han stood in mid-air, looking down at the crowd, and said coldly, ”Chi Ye, I understand the cause and effect, but don’t be too presumptuous in your words and actions. Hasn’t your third brother taught you?!”

Chi Ye was instantly suppressed, unable to lift her head. Her face was filled with anger, but she endured it with great restraint. Nangong Heling was someone she couldn’t afford to provoke in the Mengmu Sea Region... but she mustn’t fall into her hands!

”Chi Ye... acknowledges her mistake.”

”Who is Xiao Yi?”

”Dao Child...” Xiao Yi’s face was filled with fear as she slowly stepped forward, no longer having the demeanor she had earlier.

Bang!

A large palm suddenly descended from the sky, and Xiao Yi spat blood as she was knocked back, without even a chance to resist. Her hair became a mess, and she clutched her chest, not daring to utter a word.

In the academy, only a Dao Child had the privilege to act so openly.

The eyes of the surrounding academy disciples seemed to have guessed something. That woman was probably the legendary Nangong Heling!

If they could establish a good relationship with her... they might walk unchallenged in the academy.

”Was it you just now investigating Heling’s sister? Instead of cultivating properly in the academy, you’re engaging in outside schemes. As the Dao Child of the academy, do I have the authority to discipline you?!”

”Xiao Yi acknowledges her mistake!!”

Xiao Yi trembled all over. The Dao Child even had the privilege to expel ordinary disciples like them from the academy. Today, she had truly hit a wall, and she had no other thoughts in her mind.

Chi Ye bowed her head and cupped her hands, her eyes filled with defiance and resentment. Her eldest brother was still at Youlong Dao Academy. If he could take the position of Dao Child, how could Mo Ye Han dare to be arrogant in front of him?

She had never wanted to come to Dongxuan Dao Academy, but there were too many other races at Youlong Dao Academy, and she didn’t like it there.

She had always used her influence to suppress others, but now that the tables had turned, how could she easily accept it! Nangong Heling, she would remember this; the path of immortality was long.

”Disperse, and if you do this again, I, as the Dao Child, will clean the academy’s ranks!”

”Yes!”

”Yes!”

...

The twenty or so cultivators quickly dispersed, not daring to stay a moment longer. They would never block anyone again! It wasn’t easy to get into Dongxuan Dao Academy.

Chi Ye’s gaze turned much darker, and she too cupped her hands and left. However, a gaze seemed to be watching her, none other than Nangong Heling.

She revealed a meaningful smile, thinking to herself, ”Chi Ye, we have met before, but you flew over my eldest brother’s head and didn’t remember us. Who would have thought that after so many years, you would still be so arrogant...”

Nangong Heling then looked up, smiling sweetly, ”Brother Ye Han!”

”Hehe, Heling’s sister.”

Mo Ye Han’s eyes also showed a hint of warmth as he descended, ”I just received news that someone in the academy was investigating you. Regardless of the trouble’s size, I had to come and see for myself.”

”Your eldest brother entrusted you to the academy. If anything happens to you, I, as the Dao Child, would be held responsible.”

”Brother Ye Han, it’s fine. We were just having a debate here. How could anything happen in the academy?”

Nangong Heling clasped her hands behind her back, smiling with eyes like stars, ”Thank you, Brother Ye Han, for your help.”

”Mu Qingyao.” Mo Ye Han frowned slightly, suddenly looking at her, ”Why is it you again? Your second sister praised you to the skies, but...”

”Second sister once said that the Dao Child is extraordinary, with the mana of ten buckets, while the Dao Child alone holds thirteen buckets!”

Mu Qingyao quickly interrupted Mo Ye Han, changing her expression to one of gentle serenity, ”After seeing the Dao Child today, I feel that my second sister’s praise was still too low.”

”Heh, this Mu Jin.” Mo Ye Han shook his head with a smile, not wanting to engage with Mu Qingyao. The sisters of the Mu family in this generation were all like this, each more eloquent than the last.

Feng Jinyu stood to the side, completely ignored, his eyes even showing a clear foolishness. It turned out he was the only one without a background... And he had such a big Feng family!

Sigh, Feng Jinyu sighed deeply in his heart. It seemed his father and ancestor were not up to par. For some reason, he suddenly wished his ancestor would become a dragon.

One day, his ancestor would personally come to the academy: Feng Jinyu, my good descendant, I have broken through to the Great Ascension! The world is vast; you can go anywhere, just mention your ancestor’s name!

The sigh in Feng Jinyu’s eyes grew deeper. In front of these two beauties in the academy, he felt like a gigolo.

A burning ambition began to ignite in his heart. Countless years later, he, Feng Jinyu, would surely protect them both and ascend the supreme immortal path!

At this moment, no one cared what Feng Jinyu was thinking.

Mo Ye Han’s gaze had already turned to the two men who had not yet left. He showed a warm smile of reunion, ”Brother-in-law.”

”Brother-in-law!”

The gentle-looking man suddenly laughed and walked towards them step by step.
