After Qing Yan Immortal returned to Qing Yan World, she instructed Wei Qizhao not to let the younger generation of geniuses continue their expedition for now, but to set it ten years later.
Although Wei Qizhao was puzzled, he did not voice his questions and faithfully carried out Qing Yan Immortal's orders.
"Where is Xingxing?" Qing Yan Immortal asked about Wei Xingxing.
Upon hearing this, Wei Qizhao's face also revealed a hint of doting as he said, "That girl is currently loitering in the Ancient Academy!"
"Hehe, that's good, it saves her from always asking me to play Go with her," Qing Yan Immortal said with a smile.
"My granddaughter is ignorant, please forgive her, Princess," Wei Qizhao said with a slight bow.
Qing Yan Immortal waved her hand and said, "Don't say that, in the entire Qing Yan World, she is the only one who is not afraid of me. Everyone else fears me like a tiger. She can often relieve my boredom, and I like that."
"It is Xingxing's honor to share the Princess's worries," Wei Qizhao said.
"Uncle Qizhao, you are just too rigid, otherwise Xingxing wouldn't always complain to me," Qing Yan Immortal said helplessly, looking at Wei Qizhao. Wei Qizhao was good in every way, but he was too rigid, taking the "distinction between ruler and subject" too seriously. No matter what, his priority was not himself or his family, but her, the princess.
Wei Qizhao's loyalty was unquestionable, but Qing Yan Immortal still wanted Wei Qizhao to pay more attention to himself and his family. She was no longer the little girl who cried and fled the mortal world.
Wei Qizhao didn't react to Qing Yan Immortal's words, instead saying, "Princess, he has emerged from seclusion."
"He" referred to Qing Yan Immortal's personal disciple.
Qing Yan Immortal nodded and said, "He's been in seclusion for a hundred years. If he hadn't come out, I would have expelled him from the sect."
Wei Qizhao was abashed.
"Uncle Qizhao, I have found my father's successor," Qing Yan Immortal suddenly said.
Wei Qizhao's body shook, and he looked at Qing Yan Immortal. Now he finally understood why the princess had set the time ten years later.
After the two chatted for a while, Wei Qizhao left.
The reason Qing Yan Immortal set the second expedition ten years later was to give Li Beifei a fair chance to compete.
Li Beifei's current cultivation was still at the peak of the Saint Realm, while the Ancient Five Heroes and others were all above the Saint King Realm, and some were even about to step into the Great Saint Realm. Such a large gap needed time and realm to make up for.
Ten years was the buffer time Qing Yan Immortal gave Li Beifei.
In fact, ten years was really short. It was not uncommon for ordinary peak Saint Realm experts to spend thousands of years preparing various magic weapons to resist the Heavenly Tribulation, comprehending the Heavenly Dao, and understanding the principles of the Saint King.
However, Qing Yan Immortal believed that ten years was enough for Li Beifei to become a Saint King cultivator, not because she was confident in Li Beifei's talent, but because of his father. His father naturally chose to pass the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Immortal Technique to Li Beifei, which meant that Li Beifei must have something special.
When the news reached the Ancient Academy, the geniuses led by the Ancient Five Heroes, who were preparing for the second expedition to the mortal world, were stunned. They naturally wouldn't doubt the authenticity of the news, but they couldn't help but discuss it.
At this time, the Ancient Five Heroes gathered together, standing or sitting in five directions.
Yun Chuan, with silver hair and a handsome face that even women would envy, looked at a man opposite him and said, "You are Qing Yan Immortal's disciple, do you know why Qing Yan Immortal postponed it?"
The man's face was not particularly handsome, only considered delicate, completely incomparable to Yun Chuan, but the other four dared not underestimate this ordinary-looking man, because he was Qing Yan Immortal's only personal disciple. He was the leader of the Ancient Five Heroes, Jun Nanzhuo.
The other four of the Ancient Five Heroes had all been defeated by him. He was the undisputed strongest of the younger generation in Qing Yan World.
However, although he was Qing Yan Immortal's disciple, Jun Nanzhuo, like his surname, was a modest gentleman, without the disdain and arrogance towards the mortal world that other Qing Yan World geniuses possessed.
Faced with Yun Chuan's question, Jun Nanzhuo simply shook his head and said, "How can I guess Master's thoughts?"
"That's right, if we could guess Qing Yan Immortal's thoughts, then we wouldn't be geniuses, but strong people!"
Another person said, his name was Chu Nanfei.
The others present understood what he said, meaning that their level was not high enough, far from the standard of becoming a strong person.
The remaining two were a man and a woman, the man named Xiao Yi, and the woman named Su Yao. They were childhood sweethearts and the only couple among the five.
Su Yao said, "Yun Chuan, I heard that Little Sister Xiaoyue was molested by a savage native, is that true?"
Upon hearing this, a flash of killing intent crossed Yun Chuan's face. Seeing this, Su Yao said, "It seems it's true. You can't wait to tear that savage into pieces, so you asked Jun Nanzhuo."
Yun Chuan snorted coldly, not answering, but also answering.
Yun Chuan had long regarded Xiaoyue as his possession, absolutely not allowing other men to approach Xiaoyue. This was why Xiaoyue had countless admirers, but no one dared to express their feelings to Xiaoyue.
However, Qin Shaoshang not only wanted Xiaoyue to be his wife in front of everyone, but the two also had overly intimate actions. After Yun Chuan learned about it, he couldn't wait to kill Qin Shaoshang and send him to eternal damnation.
Only Su Yao, who was also one of the Ancient Five Heroes, dared to tease him. If it were someone else, he would have killed them with one punch.
"Jun Nanzhuo, Jun Nanzhuo..."
Just then, a delicate shout came from outside the courtyard. The originally calm Jun Nanzhuo's face changed drastically upon hearing this voice.
The other four showed a hint of teasing, and Su Yao said, "Jun Nanzhuo, we won't disturb you. See you later!"
After speaking, she left with Xiao Yi.
Seeing this, Yun Chuan and Chu Nanfei also left one after another, leaving only Jun Nanzhuo alone in the courtyard.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
A burst of knocking came from the courtyard's wooden door.
"Jun Nanzhuo, I know you've emerged from seclusion. Your martial aunt is here to see you, but you didn't come out to greet me. Just you wait, I'm going to complain to Qing Yan-jiejie, and tell her that you have no respect for your elders and ignore me."
Wei Xingxing said with a full voice.
Upon hearing this, Jun Nanzhuo bitterly smiled and opened the door for her.
Wei Xingxing stood at the door with her hands on her hips and said, "Hurry up and say hello to Martial Aunt Xingxing!"
"Greetings, Martial Aunt Xingxing!" Jun Nanzhuo didn't dare to disobey. In terms of status, in this Qing Yan World, his master, Qing Yan Immortal, was naturally supreme, but below her was not a Immortal King powerhouse, but this little girl with only the Carefree Realm cultivation, Wei Xingxing.
"That's more like it. Hurry up, Martial Aunt is thirsty, I want you to personally brew tea!" Wei Xingxing was very satisfied with Jun Nanzhuo's attitude, and without any politeness, she asked the number one genius of Qing Yan World to brew tea for her.
Jun Nanzhuo led Wei Xingxing into the door, and then personally brewed tea for her, his movements extremely skilled. It was obvious that he had brewed it countless times to achieve such skill.
