"Ah? Grandma? You, you said you met grandma? Where did you meet her?" Ning Lu was also confused.
In her opinion, her grandmother whom she had never met should be in the Nine Heavens Holy Land. How could her younger brother possibly run into her?
When it comes to this, Ye Liuyun doesn't know how to explain it.
"Eh? Sister, since you are a cultivator, you should know about the Nanling event, right?" Ye Liuyun said with an awkward smile.
"Nanling Grand Event? I've heard of it being the biggest and grandest event in the Nanling cultivation world. However, I don't know the details, because after I came to the Nangong family, I seldom learn about these things." Ye Ninglu said.
Ye Liuyun was confused again, so he looked at Nangong Hui again.
“Kid, don’t look at me, I only know about the Nanling Festival. However, our Nangong family is a worldly cultivation force, and we hardly interact with the sects in the cultivation world. To put it bluntly, we keep out of each other’s way. Besides, your sister and I started practicing in recent years, and we were in seclusion frequently, so we don’t know much.” Nangong Hui replied.
Ye Liuyun was stunned.
"Well, Aoxue and I will attend the Nanling event. For this event, the Jiutian Holy Land sent a saint to visit. This saint is our grandmother, Li Muyun. I met her. She told me that the Tang Kingdom has four major merchant forces, Nangong, Ximen, Dongfang, and Beiming, as well as four secular sects."
"Then you should understand, right? How did I find it?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
After listening to this, Nangong Hui and Ye Ninglu looked at each other. Nangong Hui walked up to Ye Liuyun, put his arm around Ye Liuyun's shoulders, and praised him with an admiring look on his face.
"Boy, that's great. It seems like you and Aoxue are doing very well in the cultivation world."
Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes, then reached out and pushed the guy away.
In the past, she would not have cared much about this kind of arm-in-arm contact, but she has been a woman for almost a hundred years, and many of her cognitions and behaviors have tacitly accepted herself as a woman. Naturally, she is not used to being too close to someone of the same sex.
"Go away, I haven't forgiven you for lying to me yet, don't try to get close to me so easily." Ye Liuyun said dissatisfiedly.
"Hey? You kid, I've explained this to you for so long, why don't you forgive me?" Nangong Hui looked helpless.
Ye Liuyun felt a little toothache. To be honest, she couldn't hide the fact that she had become a woman for long. She felt that she needed to tell her sister, otherwise embarrassing things would definitely happen.
"Let me talk about it when I'm in a better mood." Ye Liuyun complained, holding his hands.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of laughter from outside the door.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I heard that there are guests at home?" A generous voice came from outside the door.
"Hey? The second brother is here." Nangong Hui said hurriedly.
Not long after, a tall and strong young man walked in with a smile. This guy didn't look like Nangong Hui's disciple at all. He seemed much older than Nangong Hui.
This person is a member of the contemporary Nangong family, the second son of the head of the family, Nangong Ba.
"Haha, kid, let me introduce you to my second brother, Nangong Ba, the second brother. This is your sister-in-law's only brother, Ye Liuyun." Nangong Hui hurriedly explained.
Nangong Ba glanced at Ye Liuyun who was standing next to Ye Ninglu, and then said speechlessly.
"Ah? Sister-in-law, this little guy is your brother? Why does he look like a little girl?" Nangong Ba scratched his head in a naive manner.
Indeed, to these rough men, Ye Liuyun's fair, thin and pretty figure really looked like a little girl.
However, as soon as Nangong Ba finished speaking, Nangong Hui immediately stepped hard on the sole of Nangong Ba's foot.
"Ouch, brother, why did you step on my foot?" Nangong Ba said in pain.
"You idiot, are you out of your mind? How can you talk to guests like that? Aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will be angry? Hehe, Liuyun, don't be angry. This guy is just an idiot and speaks bluntly." Nangong Hui hurriedly apologized to Ye Liuyun on behalf of his brother.
Ye Ninglu and Ye Liuyun were both speechless.
"It's okay. Hey, brother-in-law, what should I call you, my brother?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"You should call him second brother. He is actually more than ten years older than you." Ye Ninglu said with a smile.
Ye Liuyun nodded, then took the initiative to step forward.
"Second brother, nice to meet you. I'm Ye Liuyun. Let's shake hands." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
Nangong Ba looked confused.
"Handshake?" Nangong Ba stretched out his hand in confusion.
But after his hand was caught by Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun suddenly exerted force, and Nangong Ba felt a very strong force crushing his palm and was stunned for a moment.
However, he seemed to understand what Ye Liuyun wanted to do, and at the same time he realized that although this brother-in-law looked weak, he seemed to be very unusual.
So he also started to exert force, but the problem was that Ye Liuyun's little hand felt like steel to him, so hard that he couldn't move it at all.
The two began to compete with each other.
"Oh, second brother, you are very strong?" Ye Liuyun said with a strange laugh.
"Haha, brother-in-law, you are quite strong. It's my fault for being short-sighted." Nangong Ba also spoke.
The strength of the two people was growing stronger and stronger, and the atmosphere in the living room became inexplicably hot and oppressive.
The air began to boil.
"Eh? Brother, uncle and second uncle, what are you doing?" Nangong Muyu was speechless.
"You don't understand. This is the way men greet each other. Well, I think it should be like this." Nangong Mufeng said.
As for Nangong Hui and Ye Ninglu, they also looked at the two of them speechlessly.
"Hey, what are they doing?" Ye Ninglu asked in a low voice.
"He's just competing. I guess it's because the second brother just said that he looks like a woman, which made him unhappy, so he deliberately said he wanted to shake hands. He's just competing. Don't pay attention to it. Just watch. Your younger brother is extraordinary. He seems to be only at the Lingxi realm, but his physical strength seems to be terrifyingly strong." Nangong Hui said with a smile.
Their whole family was just watching a play, watching Ye Liuyun and Nangong Ba compete with each other.
As time passed, the two tightly clasped hands began to tremble violently. Heat began to spread from Nangong Ba's body, and his face, which had been calm at the beginning, began to turn red.
Looking at Ye Liuyun again, Ye Liuyun was still looking at Nangong Ba with a playful smile.
"Hey, second brother, I'm pretty strong, right?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.
Nangong Ba’s face was extremely red. He clenched his teeth tightly and then a few words came out from between his teeth.
"Yes, it's still possible."
This guy is obviously stubborn and can't bear it anymore. Since he said he can still do it, Ye Liuyun must put in some more strength.

"Then tell me, do I still look like a girl, huh?" After Ye Liuyun said this, he exerted force again.
This time, Nangong Ba’s defense was broken and his expression could no longer be suppressed.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch...be gentle, be gentle, I, I, give up, I give up, you are not a little girl, you are a strong man, ouch." Nangong Ba screamed in pain.
After hearing this, Ye Liuyun let go of Nangong Ba with satisfaction.
As soon as Nangong Ba's right hand was freed, it became swollen like a pig's hoof, red and swollen. He kept shaking his hand and blowing air, and it looked like it really hurt, but it was also very funny.
After all, he had just said that Ye Liuyun was as weak as a woman, and now he was slapped in the face. If Ye Liuyun was a girl, then what was he?
Of course, Ye Liuyun is indeed a girl, but isn’t Ye Liuyun’s current image a man?
The most important thing is that this sentence made Ye Liuyun very unhappy. She had finally forgotten that she was originally a man, so why did she have to be reminded?
Nangong Hui saw that his younger brother had competed with others, but actually lost, and lost completely. Everyone was stunned. To be precise, the four members of the family were looking at Ye Liuyun and Nangong Ba in disbelief.
"Oh my God? Uncle, you actually beat my second uncle?" Nangong Muyu hurriedly ran to Ye Liuyun, grabbed Ye Liuyun's right hand, and looked left and right.
To be honest, my uncle's little hand was indeed like a girl's hand, small, white, tender and slender. But with such a seemingly weak hand, it actually defeated Nangong Ba easily, and without any harm at all.
"What are you looking at, little girl? You have no respect for your elders." Ye Liuyun raised his hand and tapped Nangong Muyu on the head.
"Ouch." Nangong Muyu felt pain immediately.
Let’s look at Nangong Ba again.
"Good guy, brother-in-law, you are really capable. Such a huge power is hidden in your small body. You are a physical cultivator, right?" Nangong Ba quickly understood what was going on.
Nangong Ba has also refined some of his body, and his physical strength is much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. But when he met Ye Liuyun today, he was really in trouble.
"Physical cultivation?" Nangong Hui and Ye Ninglu were also stunned.
Ye Liuyun did not hide it.
"Well, I guess so. My aptitude for cultivation is not that good. I have the five elements spiritual roots, so I am definitely not good at refining Qi. I can only refine my body." Ye Liuyun explained.
But Ye Liuyun's explanation gave Ye Ninglu and the others a shock.
"This? Oh my God, Liuyun, how do you break the life span shackles of physical cultivation? Your Qi training level is only at the initial stage of Lingxi Realm." Ye Ninglu exclaimed.
Indeed, if Ye Liuyun was a pure physical cultivator, he would not have lived to this day. Even if he could live to this day, he would have been an old man.
Ye Liuyun really can't tell too many people about the matters concerning body refining at the moment, so Ye Liuyun can only find an excuse.
"Sister, have you forgotten the pills I gave you?" Ye Liuyun reminded her.
When Ye Ninglu heard this, she quickly patted her forehead.
"Yes, I almost forgot, but how can we do this? We have to find a way to improve our Qi Refining aptitude, otherwise how long can you hold on?" Ye Ninglu suddenly became unhappy.
Nangong Hui on the side was stunned. Ye Ninglu had not even told Nangong Hui about the pills that Ye Liuyun gave them.
"Pill, what kind of pill?" Nangong Hui asked.
Ye Ninglu was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know how to answer. After all, this was her husband. She quickly looked at Ye Liuyun, asking if she could speak.
But Ye Liuyun first shook his head at her, and then spoke to Nangong Hui.
"I am an alchemist. I made some pills myself. I didn't know your secret back then, so I made some longevity pills for my sisters." Ye Liuyun replied.
After hearing this, Nangong Hui seemed to have thought of something.
"Oh, no wonder that's the case. I was wondering how come Ninglu suddenly became much younger when she came back that year? It turned out that it was because she took your elixir." Nangong Hui said with sudden realization.
Ye Liuyun smiled and nodded.
"It's quite interesting. My brother-in-law, you can actually train your strength to this level. It's unimaginable. It's rare, too rare. You must have mastered some secret method of body training?" Nangong Ba seemed to have thought of something.
As soon as he said this, Nangong Hui on the side quickly told him to shut up.
"Shut up, how dare you ask anything? This is someone else's secret." Nangong Hui scolded.
This Nangong Ba is indeed like a fool, asking everything. If it were any other cultivator, he would probably get angry.
"Ahem, sorry, I'm just curious." Nangong Ba smiled awkwardly again.
"Body cultivator, my God, uncle, you are actually a body cultivator. It seems that you are a very pure one. It's hard to imagine." Nangong Mufeng exclaimed.
But they know how powerful physical cultivators are. They can fight against monsters head-on. They are generally one level stronger than cultivators of the same level. A Taoist foundation-building cultivator can easily deal with a Taoist core-forming cultivator.
"To be honest with you, I did inherit the skills from a certain master, but it is not convenient to tell you." Ye Liuyun smiled slightly.
Nangong Ba was obviously very interested in Ye Liuyun's body refining technique. Of course, to be precise, if there really was a complete body refining method, any cultivator would be very interested in it.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Second brother, go tell father that there are guests coming to our house. We have to entertain this kid well tonight." Nangong Hui said hurriedly.
Nangong Ba heard this.
"Oh, yes, I'll go tell my father right now. Brother-in-law, you have to stay in our Nangong family for a while longer and find time to learn from each other." Nangong Ba greeted him and left with a smile.
Nangong Hui couldn't help rolling his eyes again.
"Hey, kid, ignore him. This guy is just bored and wants to pick a fight. Everyone in the family is annoyed when they see him." Nangong Hui said with an awkward smile.
"It's okay. I think my second brother has an interesting personality." Ye Liuyun shook his head.
She could see that Nangong Ba was a simple person and it was comfortable to communicate with him.
But as he was talking, Ye Liuyun suddenly remembered something.
"Eh? I almost forgot, brother-in-law, I'm not used to banquets, so you'd better not invite too many people. By the way, I haven't gone to meet my uncle and aunt yet." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
"That's true. However, my father and mother are both in the inner tribe. It's not convenient for you to go in there, so let them come to the outer tribe." Nangong Hui said.
Ye Liuyun did not seem particularly confused, because Lin Qingyou told her that the Nangong family was divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers. They were currently outside, in the back mountain of the foreign clan, and there was also a small inner world.
After saying so much, Ye Ninglu took the initiative to speak.
"Husband, Mu Yu, Mu Feng, Liu Yun and I have something to discuss privately. You guys please go out for a while." Ye Ninglu suddenly said to her children and husband.
Nangong Hui and the other three were stunned, but they nodded and left.
Although the three of them are related to Ye Liuyun, they are not members of the Ye family after all. There are some things that they cannot know, of course, or perhaps the time has not come yet.
This is not a question of distrust, but human nature.
After they left, Ye Ninglu said this.
"I see that you probably have a lot more to ask me, right? It wasn't convenient for them to talk here just now, and it wasn't convenient for you to ask either. I can see that." Ye Ninglu said with a smile.
