Chapter 130: Secret Protection

"Okay, Ancestor." The Black Tortoise sat on the water, looking very well-behaved.

Yang Yu placed his hand on the Black Tortoise and moved his mind.

*Swish! *

The giant Black Tortoise disappeared from the spot instantly.

To store a living thing in a space, the key point is that the living thing cannot resist and must accept it wholeheartedly.

Clearly, the Black Tortoise was completely convinced by Yang Yu.

"This ring is something else; it can even hold living things." Yang Yu marveled.

Then his 'farming DNA' stirred—couldn't he farm inside? Grow some spirit herbs; wouldn't that be wonderful?

Forget it, with such a small place, it's fine for storage, but farming is out of the question unless the space can be expanded hundreds or thousands of times.

"Little Tortoise, how does it feel inside?"

Then, Yang Yu divided a sliver of his consciousness to check the situation inside the ring.

Forcing such a huge fierce beast inside was indeed a bit crowded.

The Black Tortoise had almost no room to move inside, basically the same as a human lying in a coffin.

"Hmm? What kind of place is this? It's so magical... Since I arrived here, the Ancestor can actually talk to me? Where is the Ancestor? I can't feel your presence at all." The Black Tortoise said in shock.

Yang Yu's tone was unfathomable: "There will be many places you can't see through me in the future."

"As expected of the Ancestor, too amazing." The Black Tortoise was extremely respectful.

"It's a bit crowded in here; just make do for now, and I'll let you out in two days." Yang Yu felt a bit embarrassed.

The Black Tortoise didn't mind at all and said, "I am already very satisfied that the Ancestor can take me out to see the world. Actually, it's not crowded at all; lying down is just right. Before, deep in the Earth's core, I spent most of my time sleeping, motionless."

Yang Yu: "That's good."

"What's more, there is the Lava Heart here; it's very comfortable to hug while sleeping," the Black Tortoise added.

Yang Yu laughed and said, "Right, I put the Lava Heart in there and haven't used it yet; hug it as much as you like, but don't sneak a bite."

The Black Tortoise said quickly, "How would this little one dare to sneak a bite? Besides, even with my physical body, it's very difficult to eat and absorb this thing raw."

"Hmm..." Yang Yu nodded and added, "By the way, from now on, since you're hanging out with me, you need a name for convenience."

The Black Tortoise was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly, "Ancestor, can this little one also have a name?"

Yang Yu said as a matter of course, "Since you follow me, you are the one and only Black Tortoise in this world; of course you must have a name."

"*Wuwu*, the Ancestor is so kind." The Black Tortoise was almost choked with sobs.

Once, living alone underground, a name was meaningless.

Now, it was finally going to have a name.

*Is it finally my turn to be cherished and loved... *

Yang Yu thought for a moment and said, "You were born in the Earth's core and accompany fire all year round; I'll call you Xiaoyan."

The Black Tortoise said movingly, "Thank you, Ancestor, for the name!"

"Let's go!"

Yang Yu didn't stay long; he whistled to summon the Swift Wind Eagle and rode the bird, flying out of the mountains at high speed.

When he returned to Ning City, it was already the night of the next day.

When he arrived at the Bai Mansion, Bai Zhi was meditating and adjusting her breathing.

Seeing Yang Yu arrive, she opened her eyes and said, "Yang Yu, Master Liang said you went to the Luolong Mountain Range again."

"Yes, to prepare some surprises for the Tianxiang Sect," Yang Yu said.

Bai Zhi curled her lips slightly and said, "You went alone; aren't you afraid I'd worry?"

Yang Yu laughed and said, "Why, did you miss me?"

Bai Zhi's face flushed slightly, and she said, "Smooth talker... The Luolong Mountain Range is full of crises; try not to go alone in the future. You are not alone anymore."

"Good, good, good. I am a man with a wife who cares for me," Yang Yu said. "However, I really wasn't alone this time."

"Hmm? Who else was with you?" Bai Zhi asked in confusion.

Yang Yu whispered, "There was an old man who has been secretly following me..."

In fact, in the last two days, Yang Yu had vaguely felt the presence of someone in the shadows several times.

Thinking it over, it should be the Sword Saint Fan Ping.

With Fan Ping's strength, if he didn't want to be discovered by Yang Yu, Yang Yu wouldn't have any perception of him.

That Yang Yu could vaguely sense his existence meant it was likely intentional, as he wanted to test Yang Yu's attitude.

It was as if he was reminding him in a roundabout way—*Master, I am ready at any time! *

This old man's obsession with becoming a disciple was truly deep...

"Ah? Secretly following you? He won't harm you, will he?" Bai Zhi's spirit tightened.

Yang Yu waved his hand and said, "Probably not. He has a request of me and is more afraid than anyone that I might meet with an accident. If I encounter danger in the Luolong Mountain Range, he will definitely take action. Let's not talk about him; let's get down to business..."

"Ah? Business?" Bai Zhi's voice was as thin as a mosquito's.

Yang Yu said sternly, "My treasure, you don't know, but we both have the Innate Cauldron Sacred Body; we can't waste it..."

The night grew darker.

On a crooked-neck tree outside the Bai Mansion, a figure lay between the branches, almost blending into the night, and no one noticed.

This person was none other than the Sword Saint Fan Ping.

Last time his attempt to become a disciple failed, he did not give up.

These past two days, he had been secretly protecting Yang Yu.

In the process, he deliberately left some traces so that Yang Yu would be aware.

One must let people know when doing good deeds; otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain?

As long as he continued to show his determination and value, he would eventually move Yang Yu.

Of course, after Yang Yu returned to the Bai Mansion, Fan Ping didn't follow too closely and stopped outside the mansion.

After all, the master had returned to his room to rest, so he couldn't follow him in.

A Saint Realm expert, even outside the mansion, could oversee the overall situation.

Just as Fan Ping was secretly adjusting his breathing, he suddenly opened his eyes and thought: *Oh, is there really an uninvited guest? *

The strength of the newcomer was not low; he had reached the Half-Saint level, and he had deliberately restrained his aura, hiding very well.

In this situation, even the Bai Family Ancestor, Bai Zhantian, would find it difficult to discover him in time. After all, Bai Zhantian was only a Half-Saint, and they were about the same.

But Fan Ping was a Sword Saint, a genuine Saint Realm expert.

A Half-Saint, after all, is not a true Saint. No matter how good this person was at hiding, he couldn't escape Fan Ping's perception.

*Whoosh! *

Suddenly, an afterimage flashed across the sky.

"Brother, why the rush?"

Fan Ping called out.

The black shadow paused, and then a man in black landed on the crooked-neck tree.

"Such strong insight, to actually be able to detect my existence."

The man in black looked at Fan Ping with surprise in his eyes.

"This brother, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Fan Ping asked.

At this time, Fan Ping was also dressed in night-traveling clothes, quietly crouching outside the Bai Mansion, not looking like a good person.

The man in black subconsciously felt that this person was also here to cause trouble for the Bai Family, so he probed, "Are you also here to assassinate Yang Yu?" ===== CHAPTER 131 =====
