Chapter 105: Why? The Realm of Dao Comprehension!

When she saw Lin Yang truly appear on Tiandao Peak, it meant that everything she saw and everything she thought in her heart were real.

The Vermilion Bird Saintess felt as if something were choking her throat, her heart pounding wildly in her chest, as if it would burst through her breast.

Back then, Lin Yang was a "soft-rice man" she despised; now he made her look at him with newfound respect.

Her mind was in utter chaos, doubts filling it completely; over the past month, what on earth had Lin Yang experienced?

As soon as Lin Yang landed, he heard someone calling him.

He lifted his gaze.

"Vermilion Bird Saintess?"

Immediately, he asked with a hint of calm and composure in his eyes: "How do you have time to come here?"

He wasn't surprised that the person before him could come to Tiandao Peak, after all, his wife had previously asked her to come to Tiandao Peak to help guide the disciples.

But now, a month had passed since the Qingyun Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony; was her coming now a bit late?

Of course, he knew she held a grudge against him and had deliberately come late, but he didn't care whether she came early or late.

His two disciples, under his careful cultivation and guidance, had already become quite capable, needing no one to instruct them.

And at this moment.

Li Yilan, who was carrying Zhou Tianming, also lifted her head to look at the Vermilion Bird Saintess.

"Vermilion Bird Saintess, how did you come to Tiandao Peak?"

She didn't know about the grudges between the Vermilion Bird Saintess and her master; regarding the person before her, she naturally had an impression—they had met at the Martial God Hall and even said they would become friends.

Seeing Li Yilan's now extraordinary aura, the Vermilion Bird Saintess felt immense shame.

If she had not defied her master's orders and come to Tiandao Peak to help Lin Yang guide his disciples, then Li Yilan would have been her student or friend.

But now, after defying orders and coming to Tiandao Peak, the disciple who would have become her student or friend has grown into someone she looks up to.

Upon reflection.

How ridiculous her past arrogance and ignorance were.

Lin Yang glanced at Li Yilan in surprise and asked, "Do you know each other?"

"We do!"

Li Yilan told Lin Yang in detail how she had met the Vermilion Bird Saintess inside the Martial God Hall.

Lin Yang nodded.

"Alright."

"Then you receive the Vermilion Bird Saintess for me."

"I'll handle him."

Lin Yang took Zhou Tianming's body from Li Yilan.

Then he said to the Vermilion Bird Saintess:

"Saintess, I still have other matters to attend to; let my disciple receive you."

Although the Vermilion Bird Saintess had always looked down on him for eating Luo Wuqing's soft rice, failing to be a man who could share Luo Wuqing's burden.

But her disdain stemmed more from frustration at his inability to improve, and from her desire to protect Luo Wuqing.

She didn't harbor any real malice.

Moreover.

He hadn't taken it to heart; if he had, back when he was eating soft rice, his wife would have dealt with her.

Or, now that he had strength, the first thing he'd do is go settle accounts with her.

She was ultimately just a child.

There was no need to quarrel with her.

Immediately.

He prepared to leave first, to heal Zhou Tianming.

After all, this guy had been bleeding all the way here; it was quite terrifying.

"Wait..."

"Hold on!"

Seeing Lin Yang about to leave, the Vermilion Bird Saintess hurriedly called out to stop him.

"Is there anything else?"

Lin Yang turned his head to look.

"Lin Yang, I have some questions for you."

"Why?"

"Why? After the Seventh Peak was renamed Tiandao Peak, it actually became like this?"

"Why? What is that pond, and what are those tea trees?"

"Why? Why did a Martial God Hall appear out of nowhere on Tiandao Peak?"

"Why? How did you become so mysterious in just a month?"

"Why? Why did Li Yilan and Ye Xiaozhi, after becoming your disciples, become so powerful?"

"Why? What exactly are all these whys for?"

She sized him up from head to toe, trying to find the familiar shadow of the former "soft-rice man" in him.

But in the end, she found nothing.

Lin Yang felt his brain about to explode from all those "whys."

"Why? Are you asking me what all these whys are for?"

"Because, your whys are simply too many."

The Vermilion Bird Saintess was stunned.

Lin Yang continued to speak slowly: "Everything in the world has cause and effect. I merely stepped onto my own cultivation path by a fortunate coincidence."

"Alright."

"If you have any questions, let the Li girl answer them."

"I'm very busy."

Immediately.

Lin Yang carried Zhou Tianming into the courtyard.

————————————————

Watching Lin Yang leave, the Vermilion Bird Saintess stood there dazed.

She felt ashamed of Lin Yang's earlier arrogance.

She also blamed herself for her own ignorance.

Various thoughts swirled in her mind.

Seeing the Vermilion Bird Saintess so anxious, Li Yilan laughed and said.

"Saintess, you needn't worry; my master really is quite busy."

"He has to save people."

Saying this, Li Yilan looked toward the backs of Lin Yang and the idiot Zhou Tianming, then slowly said to the Vermilion Bird Saintess: "My master wanted to take him as a disciple, but that brat kept running away; in the end he angered my master, and my master, in his anger, had me break his limbs, so that's how it is."

"Don't worry about it; you haven't angered my master, so my master won't do anything to you."

Li Yilan kept praising her own master without cease.

Little did she know.

The Vermilion Bird Saintess's mind was already in a tangled mess.

After all.

She despised Lin Yang, called him a soft‑rice man, and scolded him as worthless.

According to her status, shouldn't she be killed?

"Saintess, let's go."

Li Yilan took the initiative to invite: "If you have any doubts, ask me; I'll answer them for you."

As for the Vermilion Bird Saintess, she also found her interesting and genuinely wanted to become friends with her.

The Vermilion Bird Saintess gave Li Yilan a complex look.

In the end, she still nodded.

"Alright."

Immediately.

The two came under the Heavenly Dao Tea Tree.

Li Yilan enthusiastically said: "Saintess, please have a seat."

The Vermilion Bird Saintess complied, but was stunned by the surrounding atmosphere.

When she sat under the Heavenly Dao Tea Tree, the spiritual energy released by the tree and the mysterious power released by the pool continuously gathered into spirit crystals.

The spirit crystals fell like snow onto her body, were quickly absorbed by her body, and then her internal spiritual energy increased somewhat.

Such a scene continued incessantly, making her feel as if basking in a spring breeze.

Her comprehension seemed to improve considerably as well.

Li Yilan sat opposite and answered most of the Vermilion Bird Saintess's doubts one by one.

After all.

She naturally knew in her heart what could be said and what could not.

The two talked for a long time.

The topic also shifted from doubts about Lin Yang and Heavenly Dao Peak to matters between the two women.

For a moment.

Laughter and cheer continued.

During this time.

Li Yilan also got up, plucked a few Heavenly Dao tea leaves, steeped them in a pot of tea water to entertain the Vermilion Bird Saintess.

The Vermilion Bird Saintess was unceremonious, sipping the tea while speaking of her interests and dreams.

But when the Heavenly Dao tea water slid down her throat,

it was as if a beam of psychic light pierced straight to the depths of her soul.

In an instant.

Her perception seemed to be pulled by an invisible force into a vast, boundless spiritual realm——

She entered the Realm of Dao Comprehension.
