Chapter 2913: Showing Up at the Door
Ye Liuyun had just entered the Space World; he hadn't even started cultivating when he was called out again by the shouting outside.
"This lass, she's come looking for me again!"
Ye Liuyun also felt helpless, unsure whether he should open the door.
However, Tang Xinyao kept shouting at him outside, quickly drawing a crowd. She didn't care at all about others' gazes, but Ye Liuyun worried they'd misunderstand.
He sighed and could only go open the door.
"Stop shouting, stop shouting! I'm already here!"
"Hehe, I thought I'd have to shout a while longer!" Tang Xinyao said with a smug look.
Ye Liuyun, looking helpless, asked: "Speak up, why did you come shouting for me? What's the matter?"
Tang Xinyao put on a stern face and countered Ye Liuyun: "How come you didn't even call Senior Sister? Are you avoiding me? Is it because you've become strong that you look down on us senior brothers and sisters?"
Ye Liuyun actually saw through it; Tang Xinyao had designs on him, stirring others to test him, likely for some other purpose. Biquku
"Cut it out! When has a senior sister stared at a junior brother trying to screw him over? If you have something to say, spit it out; otherwise I'm going back to cultivate!"
Ye Liuyun didn't want to keep pretending either. He felt that with someone as smart as Tang Xinyao, there was no need to beat around the bush.
Tang Xinyao blinked, then with a teasing smile asked: "Aren't you going to invite me in to have a seat?"
Seeing Ye Liuyun suddenly change his tone, she stopped feigning ignorance and wanted to go inside to talk with him; otherwise speaking outside would be overheard. Their rooms all had formations that could block detection.
"Alright, I'll let you in this once. If you have no business, don't ever come looking for me again!" Ye Liuyun also knew that if she truly had business, speaking outside wouldn't be convenient, so he simply agreed.
"You're being so heartless, after all my concern for you!" Tang Xinyao feigned hurt, but her face was full of a smug grin as she swaggered into Ye Liuyun's quarters.
However, upon entering the hall, she also felt puzzled: "Why is your room empty? There's nothing set up at all."
"Not needed! It's just a place for cultivation!" Ye Liuyun answered casually, then let Tang Xinyao in, and the two stood in the great hall.
They stared at each other in the hall.
"This is too awkward, like we're about to fight—there's not even a place to sit!" Tang Xinyao remarked.
Ye Liuyun, however, didn't care about her interruption and directly asked: "Spit it out—what exactly do you want to do?"
"I thought you had a good temper, but you're still hot-headed!" Tang Xinyao teased Ye Liuyun, not in a hurry to get to the point.
Ye Liuyun said nothing, unaffected by her words, just stared at Tang Xinyao, waiting for her to get to the point.
"Boring! Fine, fine, I'll say it straight—don't stare at me like that, I'm timid!"
Tang Xinyao also waved her hand, no longer intending to joke with Ye Liuyun, and wanted to speak her purpose directly.
Ye Liuyun also slightly restrained himself, crossing his arms as he looked at her.
"I and Senior Sister Qianyu have organized some disciples to go on an expedition. By chance I discovered the traits of your monster beast, and wanted to pull you into retirement. But we need to test your strength first, so I've stirred up some trouble for you, believing that with your ability as a junior brother, you can totally handle it." Tang Xinyao said with a smile.
Ye Liuyun gave a cold snort: "If I lack strength, you'd just seize my spirit beast directly—no need to bring me along."
Tang Xinyao chuckled indifferently: "Hehe, we're all your senior brothers and sisters—how could we openly rob you? At most we'd just borrow it."
"So now, is my strength enough?" Ye Liuyun directly asked her.
"Of course it is! I think your strength could even beat Senior Sister Qianyu!" Tang Xinyao said, looking at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun noncommittal, just continued: "But I don't necessarily have to go with you! Where are you going to explore? What resources are there? I need to see if it's worth my trip."
"Are you busy?" Tang Xinyao immediately shot back.
Ye Liuyun gave her a look: "Even if I'm not busy, I don't want to make a wasted trip!"
Tang Xinyao showed a troubled expression: "The place we're going is absolutely worth the trip. Once I tell you, you'll understand. But this matter is of great importance—I dare not tell you unless you first agree!"
Upon hearing that, Ye Liuyun realized that the place Tang Xinyao wanted to go was probably forbidden by the clan, so they dared not leak it beforehand.
But he still couldn't judge whether it was worth it.
Whether it's worth him wasting time. After all, everyone needs different resources; maybe what they're interested in, he doesn't need.
"If I don't know the situation, I won't agree to you first!" Ye Liuyun said firmly.
Now it was Tang Xinyao's turn to be embarrassed. She bit her lip, hesitated a moment, but still didn't speak.
Finally she just said: "Let me think it over first, then I'll tell you! If you think that place is worth a visit, will you join us?"
Ye Liuyun merely nodded and said to her: "If the timing works out, I'll go!"
"What training plans do you have lately?" Tang Xinyao again asked Ye Liuyun.
"Tomorrow I'll enter the Blood Spirit Pool. I've never been in before, and I don't know when I'll come out. The subsequent training plans haven't been told to me by the Fifth Elder either." Ye Liuyun said directly.
"Blood Spirit Pool? You've never been in before? Then the bloodline power you showed when sparring with Senior Sister Qianyu—was it cultivated by yourself?" Tang Xinyao, upon hearing this, was even more surprised.
Ye Liuyun originally wanted to ask her about the situation inside the Blood Spirit Pool, but he felt Tang Xinyao was asking too many questions, and this girl was unreliable—better not to let her mislead him further, so he simply didn't ask.
He didn't even reply to Tang Xinyao's question, just walked over, opened the door, and told her to leave: "When you feel you can tell me, just send me a transmission. Don't shout at my door anymore!"
Tang Xinyao also knew that after finishing the main topic she should leave. So she immediately put on a teasing smile and deliberately asked Ye Liuyun: "You're trying to kick me out? Is this how you treat a beautiful senior sister like me?"
"If you don't leave, I'll shut the door completely. Then you won't be able to get out, and you'll have to stay here tonight!" Ye Liuyun also gave her a wicked grin.
"Shameless!" Tang Xinyao exclaimed, and hurriedly ran out.
Ye Liuyun laughed loudly and immediately shut the door, not even letting her say goodbye.
"This brat!" Tang Xinyao chuckled, also realizing Ye Liuyun was deliberately scaring her, trying to trick her into leaving quickly.
After she left, she paused a moment to think, then went to find Tang Qianyu. Shortly after, she and Tang Qianyu came out together and rushed toward the other disciples' quarters.
"They're probably going to discuss it!" Ye Liuyun probed with his divine sense, then stopped paying attention to them.
