Chapter 699 A Calm Heart

Did she crush him?

Nangong Qianyu was also stunned after hearing this.

Who would be so ruthless?

"What did that woman look like?" Nangong Qianyu asked, full of doubt.

"Golden hair, a very beautiful Western woman!" Bu Qingyu replied without hesitation, giving the other party's features: "At the auction, she was also by your side!"

"Blonde? Western? This..."

Hearing the description, Nangong Qianyu was dumbfounded: "Isn't this Sister Doris?"

It was indeed Doris!

It was not surprising that Nangong Qianyu didn't know the situation at the time.

The reason Doris acted against that Qi Sect disciple was entirely because the disciple had brought trouble upon himself by having improper thoughts about Doris.

Doris had not intended to act initially.

However, the Qi Sect disciple's gaze became increasingly unrestrained, and in the end, Doris "accidentally" crushed him.

Such methods were nothing for Doris, who had lived in the Temple of Destiny all her life.

However, she hadn't expected that the bloody scene would terrify Bu Qingyu, a young girl who had come to find Ye Ming, and she had been too scared to appear before them.

Thinking back now, it seemed it was just not time for Bu Qingyu and him to meet.

"I was so scared at the time that I didn't dare to look for you again and returned directly to Sword Mountain!"

Bu Qingyu smiled helplessly.

"This... alas!"

After listening, Nangong Qianyu didn't know what to say and finally let out a long sigh.

"So, did you sense something else when you came to participate in the Bai family's invitation this time?"

Nangong Qianyu decided to change the subject directly.

Nangong Qianyu had her reasons for saying this.

The most important one was Bu Qingyu's own strength.

She was only at the mid-stage of the Martial King realm.

Normally, with her current strength, her father, Bu Jianqiu, would not have brought her to such a treacherous invitation.

However, Bu Qingyu had come along.

It was likely that Bu Qingyu had requested it herself.

"Yes! That's right, I sensed some scenes three days ago!" Bu Qingyu said softly. "In the scenes, it was the grand hall we are in now. And this time, it was even stronger than before."

Even stronger?

This was clearly the reason why Bu Qingyu insisted on attending this invitation.

"I understand!"

Nangong Qianyu held her hand and smiled, "Don't worry, with us here, nothing will happen to you!"

Since Bu Qingyu had shared her biggest secret with her, Nangong Qianyu naturally had to live up to the trust she had given.

"I believe you!"

Bu Qingyu smiled and nodded, her heavy heart finally able to be put to rest.

"Let's go! Let's go out!"

Then, the two walked out of the hall hand in hand, both with smiles on their faces.

...

"Junxue, did you sense something about that girl Qingyu?" Bai Qiushui asked softly beside Fang Junxue.

"It's not that I sensed something." Fang Junxue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her voice was calm. "Qiushui, don't you feel anything unusual about Qingyu?"

"Ah! So you felt something unusual too?"

Hearing this, Bai Qiushui was a little shocked. "I thought it was just my imagination!"

"Could it be..."

Bai Qiushui's expression suddenly became solemn, as if she had thought of something. If her guess was correct, then it would be a big deal.

"I know what you're thinking, and I've also thought of it."

Fang Junxue looked at Bai Qiushui, but for some reason, her brows furrowed even tighter, a look that was rarely seen on her.

"Junxue, you..."

Bai Qiushui didn't understand why she was like this and asked, "If that's the case, it should be a good thing for us. But why are you... so solemn?"

In Fang Junxue's expression, Bai Qiushui even detected a hint of... fear.

What was going on?

"Qiushui, do you think..."

Fang Junxue's voice lowered, and just then, a spatial fluctuation suddenly occurred.

Immediately, a dark spatial rift appeared in everyone's sight.

"Hmm!"

Fang Junxue was already accustomed to this familiar scene.

However, this was the first time Fu Tianxing and the others, who were not far away, had seen it.

"Dad! What... what is this?"

Fu Zhantian, who was usually eager for a fight, his face changed the moment the dark rift appeared, and the hairs on his entire body stood on end.

"This... this..."

Fu Tianxing opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. However, with his strength, he could still sense something. "Space... seems to be torn!"

"Master! There seems to be someone inside?"

At this moment, Xi Yao's beautiful eyes widened, and she directly covered her rapidly beating heart with her hand.

"Hui... Huixin!"

Seeing an old woman walking out from inside, Bai Tai recognized her identity at the first glance.

She was his wife.

"Old Madam!"

Fang Junxue was also a little excited.

Seeing that kind face, it was so familiar and intimate.

"Girl Junxue!"

After the old lady walked out of the spatial rift, she first glanced at Bai Tai, then fixed her gaze on Fang Junxue. Her cloudy pupils were full of concern.

"Old Madam, are you alright!"

Fang Junxue quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and held her hand, examining her nervously, afraid that she had been harmed.

"Hahaha! It's nothing! It's nothing! Look how nervous you are!" The old lady patted Fang Junxue's hand and said softly, "Little Ming already checked me earlier, and there's nothing serious!"

Little Ming!

Hearing this, Fang Junxue looked towards the spatial rift. As expected, a young man walked out with a smile.

It was Ye Ming.

Seeing him, her gaze immediately softened.

The old lady looked at the young couple and smiled happily. "Girl Junxue! This child Little Ming is quite good. Your taste is excellent, I am very relieved!"

Hearing this, not only did Fang Junxue's pretty face blush, but Ye Ming himself also felt a little embarrassed.

"Cough! Junxue, you must have a lot to say to the Old Madam, go ahead!"

Ye Ming said with a smile.

"Okay!"

Then, Fang Junxue took the old lady away.

At this moment, the most awkward person in the scene was Bai Tai, the head of the Bai family. The old lady had not spoken a word to him from beginning to end.

"Little Brother Ye, we meet again!"

At this moment, Fairy Luo Xia, with Xi Yao, walked towards Ye Ming. Following behind them were Fu Zhantian and his son.

Although they had seen Ye Ming from afar before, they had not spoken to him.

This was considered their second real meeting.

"Island Master Fu! Pavilion Master Luo!"

Ye Ming saw them, and his memories traced back to the Land of Guardians, giving him a sense of déjà vu.

"Brother Ye!"

"Brother Ye!"

Fu Zhantian and Xi Yao also cupped their fists in salute.

However, their feelings at this meeting were much more complex than the first time.

"Long time no see!"

Ye Ming smiled, then looked at Fairy Luo Xia and cupped his fists, "Thank you both for coming to support Junxue this time."

"Alas! Little Brother Ye, don't mention it!"

Fu Tianxing waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "We said we were coming to help, but in the end..."

Fairy Luo Xia's expression was also a little bitter.

"Seniors, there's no need to mind!"

Ye Ming gestured and said, "Coincidentally, I have some matters I wish to ask you both about."

Fu Tianxing and Luo Xia exchanged a glance, nodded, and smiled, "Okay! We have the same for you!"

At this moment, Ye Ming noticed Bu Jianqiu not far away. "Who is this senior..."

Just as he was wondering, Nangong Qianyu and Bu Qingyu walked out of the hall.

"Ye Ming, you're back!"

Nangong Qianyu waved at him after seeing him.

"En?"

Looking at Bu Qingyu, who was holding Nangong Qianyu's hand and seemed to be very close, Ye Ming was surprised again.

He didn't recognize her!

But after a brief daze, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring intently at Bu Qingyu, clearly sensing something.

"Hey! What are you looking at?"

*Thump!*

Nangong Qianyu walked up to him and, seeing him staring at Bu Qingyu, gave him a knock on the head and said fiercely.

"Ah! I..."

Ye Ming instinctively took a step back and suddenly snapped back to reality.

But at this moment, everyone around was looking at him with strange gazes.

"Cough!"

This misunderstanding had really gotten out of hand.

Bu Qingyu herself lowered her head in shyness, her small face burning red.

However, she also sensed that the young man before her was the person she had been looking for.

"Hmph!"

Nangong Qianyu gave him a glare, then pulled Bu Qingyu to Bu Jianqiu and earnestly promised, "Uncle, since Qingyu has chosen to trust me, I will protect her even if it costs me my life."

"So, please rest assured!"

Hearing her words, Bu Jianqiu was also relieved that his daughter no longer had to live in fear.

"Good! Good!"

Bu Jianqiu held his daughter's hand, patted it lightly twice, and nodded with a smile, "Girl, no matter what you do, Dad will always support you."

"Mmm!"

Bu Qingyu nodded heavily. She did not regret her choice.

"Ye Ming, what are you still dazed for, hurry up and come here!"

Nangong Qianyu saw Ye Ming still standing there, with a few dark lines appearing on her forehead.

"I... this..."

Ye Ming was completely confused, not knowing what had happened.

However, after communicating with Nangong Qianyu through their mental link, he understood the whole story in just a few seconds.

"So that's how it is!"

He sighed in his heart.

"Sect Master Bu! Miss Qingyu!"

Ye Ming greeted them with a smile.

"Little Brother Ye is not simple. Seeing you today, you are truly a divine being!"

Bu Jianqiu looked at the young man before him, and the spatial rift he had just seen reappeared in his mind. Such a technique was simply incredible.

"Sect Master Bu is too kind!"

Ye Ming glanced at everyone around and said, "Everyone, please come inside for a chat!"

Following that, everyone returned to the hall.

...

"Sect Master Bu! What we are about to say might seem unbelievable to you, so please be mentally prepared in advance!"

Ye Ming said with a smile, sitting on one side of the long table.

"Ah... okay!"

Bu Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered.

"Mmm!"

Ye Ming nodded, then turned to Fu Tianxing's side and said, "Senior Fu, Pavilion Master Luo, since you obtained the inheritance in the Land of Guardians, you must have encountered some things, right?"

"Little brother, are you referring to... the path of immortality?"

Fu Tianxing responded in a deep voice.

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the room immediately became solemn, and the air was incredibly heavy.

The impact on Bu Jianqiu and Bai Tai was particularly great, their heads buzzing.

"Mmm! What I want to talk about... is indeed the path of immortality!" Ye Ming said calmly. "The so-called path of immortality is merely a great path that transcends the ancient martial arts. Everyone doesn't need to think of it as too mystical. And there's no significant difference between immortal cultivators and ancient martial artists, only different levels."

Ye Ming looked deeply at Fu Tianxing and the others, and continued, "So, please treat it with a normal mindset."

Treat it with a normal mindset!

Upon hearing this, Fu Tianxing and the others' eyes lit up, and they suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

When they first learned of the existence of the immortal path, they had always held a reverent and fearful attitude, and over time, they had developed an excessive sense of awe towards the immortal path.

Even now, they had not fully converted the true essence in their bodies and could not truly be considered immortal cultivators.

However, after hearing Ye Ming's words, they finally understood the reason for their low conversion efficiency.

"Little brother! Thank you!"

Fairy Luo Xia gave Ye Ming a grateful look.

She understood that perhaps he had seen their problems and was offering guidance.

"You're welcome!"

Ye Ming smiled, then waved his right hand, and a white light entered Bu Jianqiu's glabella. He said, "Sect Master Bu, these two immortal cultivation techniques should be suitable for your practice."

En?

Bu Jianqiu's body suddenly stiffened, and something suddenly appeared in his mind.

"This..."

At this moment, he had no idea what to say.

Seeing this, Bu Qingyu quietly glanced at Ye Ming and smiled faintly. But soon, she withdrew her gaze.

However, Nangong Qianyu, who was next to her, happened to notice this.

The latter nudged her arm with her elbow, blinked her eyes, and showed a playful smile.

Seeing this, Bu Qingyu turned into a little ostrich again, lowering her head, not daring to meet Nangong Qianyu's gaze.

At this moment, Ye Ming suddenly called her name: "Miss Qingyu, your physique is rather special, I will give you a suitable technique later!"

"Ah! Okay... okay!"

Bu Qingyu nervously raised her head, quickly responded, and then lowered her head again, blushing.

"???"

This made Ye Ming a little confused.

He looked at Nangong Qianyu, but she directly turned her head away and let out a cold snort.

"I... this..."

Ye Ming was again filled with question marks.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, even with his strength, he couldn't figure out the thoughts of women.

Of course!

He wouldn't use their mental link for such a small matter.

At this point, only one person was excluded from the gates of immortal cultivation.

Bai Tai!

He was the most awkward person at the moment.
