Chapter 47: Yan Taibai, Little Junior Sister Nangong, do you want to play with me?

~8 min read 1,463 words

For a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, it does not take long to travel from Xinzhou to the Yue Capital.

On this day, Yan Taibai, who could be considered to have spent the night on the dragon bed, had just opened his eyes and was planning to wander around the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Capital.

Just as he was about to see what this Imperial Palace and Imperial Capital of the cultivation world were really like, a red light, as if a meteor were falling, came from afar and arrived right before him in the blink of an eye.

The red glow dissipated, and a graceful, slender, and stunningly ethereal figure came into view. Following closely behind was a beautiful, jade-like face that was charming in both anger and joy, enough to make one's heart flutter.

The person who arrived was none other than "Nangong Wan," who had been forced to come out to work.

"You! You only know how to cause trouble for me."

As soon as she landed, before Yan Taibai could offer a respectful salute, Nangong Wan reprimanded him with annoyance.

Over the past year, she had indeed helped Yan Taibai handle quite a few matters; although she did not take action personally, she still sent many Yanyue Sect disciples to help handle them.

Therefore, Nangong Wan could be considered the person with the best relationship with Yan Taibai in the entire Yanyue Sect, aside from Yan Ruyan.

But this time, Nangong Wan really had to step forward personally to resolve it.

After all, this was not wartime, and the relations of the Yue Capital's imperial family were of great importance; it required Golden Core Stage Cultivators from the Seven Sects to make the final decisions.

Foundation Establishment Stage managers from the Seven Sects would not suffice; they could only assist from the sidelines.

The ones to make the specific decisions were still the Golden Core Stage Cultivators of the Seven Sects.

This made Nangong Wan, who had always kept a low profile and had little interaction with the Golden Core Stage Cultivators of the Seven Sects, quite helpless.

So, she could only say a few words to the "culprit," Yan Taibai, first.

"Junior Sister, please forgive me. This younger brother had no other choice but to ask you to come."

Regarding this, Yan Taibai naturally did not mind at all; he offered a salute with a slight apology and said.

"Alright, tell me exactly what is going on! In a while, the Golden Core Stage fellow Daoists from the other sects will all arrive, so we must have our story straight to avoid any accidents."

Nangong Wan parted her sandalwood lips slightly and reminded him.

She did not pay much attention to the title of "Junior Sister."

"Alright, Junior Sister, please come in. Let us go inside, and this younger brother will tell you truthfully what is going on."

Yan Taibai smiled and invited Nangong Wan to enter the resting palace to talk and exchange details.

Seeing this, Nangong Wan nodded her head slightly and moved with lotus steps toward the palace gate.

And Yan Taibai naturally followed closely behind.

After the two were seated, Yan Taibai personally brewed tea and poured a cup for Nangong Wan, using the spirit tea he had obtained from that Demonic Path evil cultivator.

"Good tea. Now you can tell me, what exactly is going on?"

After Nangong Wan took a light sip, her bright eyes lit up and she praised it, but she did not forget the main business.

"Actually, it is quite simple. Junior Sister should know that this younger brother has been slaying demons and eliminating devils for the past year. During this period, I killed many groups of Demonic Path evil cultivators with the same characteristics. Then, after investigation, I finally arrived at this Yue Capital and discovered this Black Fiend Cult that had occupied the Imperial Capital. Finally, after a difficult battle, this younger brother wiped out the Black Fiend Cult entirely; it truly took a great deal of effort. Among them, this Yue Emperor..."

Yan Taibai briefly explained the process, which was more or less the truth.

"You certainly have heart. However, after this matter is over, just obediently return to the sect with me and cultivate in peace. Having spent so long slaying demons and eliminating devils, it is time to calm your heart and cultivate properly. Moreover, your identity is likely no longer secure; staying in the sect to cultivate for the time being and coming out only after the storm has passed is not too late."

After listening to Yan Taibai's words, Nangong Wan did not pursue the specific details, nor did she have any intention of asking how much he had gained; instead, she reminded and requested with great concern.

"Many thanks, Junior Sister, but this younger brother has an uninvited request?"

"This younger brother wishes to go to the Jinyun Mineral Vein in Jinyun Prefecture to cultivate. There is an entire Metal Attribute Spirit Stone mineral vein there, which is the most suitable place for a cultivator with a Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root like me to cultivate. Moreover, it can also hide one's tracks to avoid any incidents."

"Just as Junior Sister said, the storm caused by this matter will likely not be small. Staying in the sect to cultivate may not be entirely safe. Therefore, choosing to leave the sect is actually a good thing. What does Junior Sister think?"

Yan Taibai said tentatively.

"Entering the mineral vein to cultivate? No. Although the Heaven and Earth Qi in the mineral vein is dense, it is not suitable for cultivation."

Nangong Wan shook her head and directly rejected Yan Taibai.

"Why?"

Hearing this, Yan Taibai looked puzzled.

And Nangong Wan's answer was also very straightforward.

"I don't know!"

"Ah! You don't know?"

Seeing this, Yan Taibai's face twitched slightly, and he blurted out.

"In any case, the various sects and the sect records all say so; no disciple or elder is allowed to cultivate in the mineral vein for a long time. As for the reason, it has never been recorded. Perhaps it is to avoid affecting the disciples mining the raw spirit stones?"

Nangong Wan found a reason that was not really a reason and explained it to Yan Taibai.

After all, she was a Golden Core Stage Cultivator; she had to give her Junior Brother an explanation, right?

Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing.

And Yan Taibai cooperated very well, suddenly realizing.

"Oh!"

He exclaimed!

Seeing this, Nangong Wan rolled her eyes at him in annoyance and changed the subject, asking.

"How long have you been in the Yue Capital?"

"Not long. Why, Junior Sister, do you want to go play in the city with me?"

Yan Taibai blinked, not understanding, and asked with full curiosity and a hint of expectation.

"No, I have no interest in worldly affairs. I just wanted to ask you, now that the real Yue Emperor is dead, do you have any good candidates?"

Nangong Wan shook her head slightly and said.

"No, I just arrived not long ago and haven't asked around in the city, so this matter still needs to be decided by the seniors of the Seven Sects."

Yan Taibai shook his head and said.

"Then forget it."

Hearing this, Nangong Wan did not say anything more.

"How about I go scout things out now? In any case, the seniors from the other sects haven't arrived yet, so there should still be enough time."

Yan Taibai said tentatively.

"Very well, then you go scout it out first! When Junior Sister Nishang and the fellow Daoists from the other sects arrive, I will send you a voice transmission to notify you."

Hearing this, Nangong Wan pondered for a moment, then nodded her head slightly, agreeing to Yan Taibai's suggestion.

"Alright, then I shall take my leave now."

Seeing that Nangong Wan had agreed, Yan Taibai was naturally happy; he stood up, performed a salute, and left directly.

Although having a beauty for company was truly pleasant, he was only eleven years old; he couldn't handle it!

Not to mention, there was still a fiancée.

Therefore, that thought born of a man's instinct only flashed through his mind for a moment and could not be dwelled upon at all.

Moreover, Yan Taibai did indeed want to go and inquire about the current situation in the Yue Capital.

He had to find a suitable person to succeed to the throne of the Yue Emperor for the sake of the secular Mortals.

After all, with so many things and skills from his past life, they had to be put to use, didn't they? He couldn't have transmigrated for nothing without changing something!
