Chapter 266: Mutual Exchange and Sparring

Ye Liuyun had just returned to his residence from his master, and Liu Shengnan came over.

Ye Liuyun hurriedly went out to greet him, and found that Liu Shengnan had also broken through to the Holy Realm.

"Senior sister, you came looking for me; I wonder what guidance you have?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

"Are you that blood‑armored person?" Liu Shengnan asked directly.

"Hehe, it's me. It wasn't convenient to reveal my identity then; I hope you can forgive me, senior sister!" Ye Liuyun knew the matter had already spread, and there was no need to hide it further.

"Why didn't you kill everyone from the Water Moon Palace to silence them?" Liu Shengnan asked.

"This... I'm not some wanton killing demon!"

Ye Liuyun felt a bit depressed, fearing that his reputation outside now was that of a killing star, a murderous demon, and the like.

"But do you know? Your single thought of benevolence brings how much self‑destructive disaster upon yourself?" Liu Shengnan looked at Ye Liuyun again, as if trying to see through him.

"It doesn't matter. The trouble I cause, I should bear myself! Is your coming to remind me of this?" Ye Liuyun didn't want to dwell on the topic.

"No, I've broken through my realm and wanted to come find you to spar!" He said, then tossed a Storage Ring to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun looked at what was inside the ring and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Inside the ring were some ferocious beast meat and a few bottles of wine. It seemed Liu Shengnan had taken their previous agreement seriously.

Liu Shengnan gave him a cold stare. "What are you laughing at? Didn't you say to bring me food, and only then would you agree to spar? So, are you trying to back out?"

"I was just joking with you back then. But now I have nothing to do, so let's spar and then grill meat together!" Ye Liuyun immediately agreed.

Then the two went to the back mountain to train. Liu Shengnan only let Ye Liuyun employ the Heaven and Earth Power, and they then followed to learn, but their use of the Heaven and Earth Power was far inferior to Ye Liuyun's.

Ye Liuyun wasn't stingy; while sparring with them, he also gave explanations.

Later, when Ye Liuyun grilled meat for Liu Shengnan, Liu Shengnan ate and asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll learn and surpass you?"

Ye Liuyun laughed, "You are my senior sister; if you can learn and surpass me, I should be glad! What's so scary?"

Liu Shengnan stayed silent. Ye Liuyun couldn't tell what they were thinking. After a long while, they suddenly said, "I want to join your Lingyun Pavilion!"

"Huh?" Liu Shengnan's sudden words surprised Ye Liuyun. "Because of me, Lingyun Pavilion now has enemies on all sides!"

"What, not welcome?" Liu Shengnan raised an eyebrow, staring at Ye Liuyun. They didn't care about the number of enemies.

"Welcome, welcome! As long as you're sincere about joining Lingyun Pavilion, we welcome you." Ye Liuyun said quickly.

"Alright! Then I'm going!"

After speaking, Liu Shengnan turned and headed toward Lingyun Pavilion, leaving Ye Liuyun standing dazed.

"Um... this senior sister's personality is really odd!"

Ye Liuyun shook his head and returned to his residence.

When he got back, he found Lin Xueying chatting with Wu Qingcheng and others.

"Senior sister, why are you here? Is there something you need from me?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"Can't come to you when there's nothing? Do you even have me, senior sister, in your heart now? You went to snatch a bride, then late at night went out to grill meat with a beauty..." Lin Xueying pouted and complained.

Wu Qingcheng, Yu Er and the others covered their mouths and giggled; no one seemed inclined to speak up for him!

Ye Liuyun glanced at Lei Ming, who pursed his lips and ignored him. Looks like these women are jealous!

So Ye Liuyun had to take out his Weapon-Breaking Mace and resume grilling the meat.

Lei Ming was the first who couldn't hold back and came over. "Little brother, actually I understand you! They're all our senior sisters and junior sisters, it's only right to look after them!"

"Right, right! Come, eat the meat!" Ye Liuyun handed a piece of meat to them.

Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er, seeing this, also urged Lin Xueying, saying Ye Liuyun wasn't flirting; he was just of a helpful nature.

"Hmph! You can just indulge him!" Lin Xueying, angry, sat beside the grill. Ye Liuyun immediately handed over another piece of grilled meat.

"You're so famous! The whole academy is gossiping that you and Qi Tianyue are together! They even say you, in a fit of passion for a beauty, went on a killing spree!" Lin Xueying complained.

"That's not true! Those people are just spreading rumors. There's nothing between me and Qi Tianyue!" Ye Liuyun explained.

Lin Xueying gave him a cold stare and stopped arguing. She then said with some worry, "Mother said your upcoming participation in the Seven Sects Grand Competition will be fraught with danger. You've offended too many people! Are you prepared?"

"Don't worry! Let them come; I'll trample them all under my feet!" Ye Liuyun said confidently.

Wu Qingcheng added, "Take my Invisibility Cloak and the bronze mirror of the Super Holy Artifact; I never get a chance to use them while they're on me!"

"Yes! Also my Weapon-Breaking Mace, you can take that too!" Yu Er said concernedly.

"I appreciate your kindness! I've already prepared for battle, and this is a good chance to practice. Moreover, I have a Skeleton Puppet with me. So you needn't worry about me!"

Ye Liuyun declined their offers. Using those items would prevent him from training himself. So he intended to fight without relying on any treasures, even refusing to use Spiritual Soul Attack.

Lin Xueying repeatedly urged him to be extra careful, then left reluctantly.

"It seems Miss Xueying has deep affection for you! What are you planning to do?" Wu Qingcheng said, watching Lin Xueying's back, reminding Ye Liuyun.

"Sigh! I can barely protect myself now; better not to provoke too many women! If I can avoid it, I'll avoid it!" Ye Liuyun said helplessly.

"Unfortunately, the few of us can't help you much!" Wu Qingcheng, unable to assist, was very anxious.

Ye Liuyun proactively took Wu Qingcheng's hand and said, "Don't worry, I can handle it. Your cultivation is already fast! Don't be anxious; you're all geniuses and will catch up soon!"

This was the first time Ye Liuyun had proactively held Wu Qingcheng's hand, which made her very excited.

"I've been too busy cultivating to look after you, causing you grievance!" Ye Liuyun said apologetically.

Wu Qingcheng said shyly, "What are you saying? I still need you to look after me! I'm actually worried about you, always fighting outside; you must be careful yourself. Aren't you still going to find your parents? You can't have an accident here!"

Ye Liuyun nodded. "I have no idea how my parents and aunt are doing!"

"Don't worry! They'll be fine! Since they can go outside the realm, they must be strong!" Wu Qingcheng comforted him.

Ye Liuyun smiled and stopped pondering such distant matters, focusing on getting through the current hurdle first.

Later, Ye Liuyun distributed healing pills and other elixirs to everyone, and even gave them some medicine for the double Yuan Dan ferocious beasts from the Storage Ring.

Wu Qingcheng went to find Lei Ming, lent the Invisibility Cloak to Lei Ming, and then gave her own False Holy Artifact that defends against Spiritual Soul Attack to Bai Hu.

Since Ye Liuyun doesn't need these items, giving them to the Monster Beasts to boost their defense can also help Ye Liuyun.
