Until the continuous flow of intelligence reports arrived, he had no choice but to believe the rumor that Su Jie single-handedly blocked the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Land, making them afraid to leave the mountain gate.
This news has now spread throughout the Tianyuan World, and sects and aristocratic families, including those dynasties and holy lands, are shocked by Su Jie’s unparalleled martial prowess, respectfully naming him the foremost figure beneath the Crossing Dao Ancestor Master.
"Sorry, Uncle-Master, I have failed your expectations."
Ning Yunying saw Emperor Tianshu’s expression and knew that her leaving the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Land might have put Emperor Tianshu in a difficult position since he still maintained a presence there.
"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? Don’t think that I would try to persuade you to join the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Land."
Emperor Tianshu saw Ning Yunying’s inner guilt and knew she was concerned it might be difficult for him to handle, so he explained: "You’ve been in seclusion and wouldn’t know, but I’ve already withdrawn from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Land and joined the Great Xia Dynasty."
For Emperor Tianshu, Ning Yunying is the direct disciple of her sister, whom he considers one of his own, and this is well-known across the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Land.
Now that Ning Yunying has left the holy land, he really can’t stay there anymore, fearing that he would be held accountable upon return, so he straightforwardly joined the Great Xia Dynasty.
Currently, with Su Jie stationed at the Great Xia Dynasty, one could say Su Jie alone almost matches a holy land in power; besides the Crossing Dao Ancestor Master, labeling the Great Xia Dynasty as the sixth holy land is not an exaggeration.
Considering Su Jie’s speed of advancent, with the Kunlun Mirror at hand, Emperor Tianshu believes that soday Su Jie has an excellent chance of advancing to the Crossing Realm, by then becoming a truly holy land-level existence.
Perhaps Emperor Tianshu indeed has a little nostalgia for the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Land, but in the long term, this sentint doesn’t significantly affect things—what genuinely attracts Emperor Dongxu and others is future prospects.
Obviously, the Great Xia Dynasty, with Su Jie at its helm, is a force with promising prospects.
Upon hearing Emperor Tianshu’s words, Ning Yunying realized she was overthinking it.
"Uncle-Master, we can work together from now on."
Ning Yunying smiled, secretly pondering that the Great Xia Dynasty now has her, Han Ruyan, Su Jie, and Emperor Tianshu—four Cave Void Realm entities—only inferior to the holy lands in terms of strength.
If one ignores the Crossing Dao Ancestor Master who can’t easily return to the Tianyuan World and competes solely in actual combat strength, Su Jie alone could crush any holy land.
"Let’s go, since we’ve t, let’s find Su Jie and discuss the Chaotic Tide. It’s half a month until the deadline, and we need to prepare."
Emperor Tianshu said to Ning Yunying and led her towards Su Jie’s palace.
"No, Uncle-Master, let’s not disturb him right now."
Ning Yunying instinctively stopped Emperor Tianshu, preventing him from proceeding.
"What’s wrong?"
Emperor Tianshu gave a questioning look.
Ning Yunying tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her ears slightly reddening, embarrassed to ntion that her sister and her brother-in-law were engaged in daylight indulgence, she had to find an excuse: "I’ve just advanced to the Hollow Realm and have many questions I want Uncle-Master to help resolve, let’s go to Su Jie later."
"I see!"
Emperor Tianshu didn’t overthink it and was very willing to help the talented younger generation, Ning Yunying.
.........
The discussion lasted several hours!
Ning Yunying asked Emperor Tianshu questions, one after another, finally passing the ti before departing to Su Jie’s palace again.
From a distance, Ning Yunying saw Su Jie just coming out of his palace.
"Out of seclusion?"
Su Jie glanced at Ning Yunying and expressed concern.
"Mm, everything’s fine now."
Ning Yunying nodded, a bit embarrassed to look Su Jie in the eye, because he always reminded her of embarrassing scenes.
"I’ll go find my sister first."
Ning Yunying hurriedly said, bypassing Su Jie.
Su Jie scratched the back of his head; this aloof woman seed a bit strange today.
"Mr. Xing Yuan, I’ve co to discuss the Chaotic Tide with you."
Emperor Tianshu approached Su Jie to research the upcoming Chaotic Tide, planning ahead.
Su Jie didn’t think much of it and started chatting with Emperor Tianshu soon.
"Sis, is your injury healed?"
anwhile, Ning Yunying found her sister in her palace.
Ning Xinyue appeared radiant, shedding so of her girlish innocence, as a trace of enchanting charm flowed in her eyes.
Seeing her sister erging from seclusion, Ning Xinyue eagerly embraced her as if nothing had changed.
Ning Yunying wondered if it was her imagination, as she seed to sll Su Jie’s scent on her sister, and her heartbeat inexplicably quickened.
"I’m fine now. You haven’t slacked off in cultivation, have you? I’ve already advanced to the Hollow Realm; you should focus more on cultivation rather than indulging in pleasure."
"Ah! I’ve been really focused on cultivating, you know. I’m already at the Purple Mansion Realm, unlike what you claim, I haven’t been seeking pleasure!"
Ning Xinyue didn’t expect her sister’s concern to be followed by admonishnt, and puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, feeling wronged, she has been quite diligent.
"You dare say, at this rate, when will you ever reach the Hollow Realm? Don’t just spend all your ti glued to Su Jie, even if you do, you should choose the right ti."
Ning Xinyue wouldn’t have ntioned it, but once she did, Ning Yunying got more annoyed, tapping her sister’s head and speaking irritably.
"The Hollow Realm isn’t that easy to reach; it requires Heavenly Dao Fortune, which is very hard to acquire. Besides... Ah, sister, you—what on earth are you saying?"
While speaking, Ning Xinyue suddenly caught on; her sister’s words had hidden anings. She quickly understood that Ning Yunying was referring to sothing between her and Su Jie, realizing her sister’s implications were elsewhere.
"Hmph, you call it nonsense, do you think I’m unaware?"
Ning Yunying glared at her sister, pinching Ning Xinyue’s tender cheeks like kneading a dough, venting her annoyance.
"Mm, no, it’s just—it’s what Su Jie wanted, it’s not related to ."
Ning Xinyue’s cheeks flushed, embarrassed from having her private matters revealed by her sister, she felt flustered.
As twin sisters, they’ve had a certain psychic connection since childhood, able to vaguely sense experiences happening to each other.
So, Ning Xinyue was well aware that her mischievous deeds with Su Jie were definitely known to her sister too.
"He wants it, and you give it?"
"He insists!"
"..."
Ning Yunying looked helplessly at her sister, realizing her prideful nature, truly her sibling.
Ning Xinyue, now sheepish from being seen through by her sister, stopped pretending and snorted, "Sister, there’s no way just my refusal would work. Besides, you wouldn’t understand anyway, sister."
"I don’t understand?"
Ning Yunying blinked, feeling she was being underestimated.
"That’s the truth; you haven’t liked a man before, you wouldn’t know that feeling. When you et soone you like, you’ll understand what I’m saying."
Ning Xinyue spoke with the confidence of soone experienced, educating her sister with righteous conviction.
This left Ning Yunying speechless since she was indeed inexperienced in romance, despite her varied experiences in Jianghu, she was a novice in the practical side of things. On this point, she couldn’t refute Ning Xinyue’s argunt.
Soone you like!
Ning Yunying’s mind flashed with an imnse figure shielding her, and she shook her head repeatedly.
"Sister, love has to be allowed to flourish naturally. When the ti is right, it’s unstoppable; you don’t understand..."
Ning Xinyue beca increasingly animated, for the first ti surpassing her sister in a particular domain, sothing she reveled in.
"What’s there to boast about in this matter; look at you, acting all high and mighty."
Ning Yunying rolled her eyes, pinching Ning Xinyue again, unable to resist asking, "Is the feeling really that good?"
"Ah, sister, you’re asking ; don’t you already know?"
Ning Xinyue blinked in disbelief; as sisters, they were connected at heart!
Ning Yunying: "..."
