84 Grand Elder Yu Yan: I’ll Only Say This Once!
“Alright, Wenqing, that’s enough.”
Yan Zhen gently patted Huangfu Wenqing’s cheek, and she released him, allowing him to withdraw.
Looking at his alluring fiancée, Yan Zhen scooped some water and gently wiped her face, then helped her up, embraced her, and caressed her back.
Huangfu Wenqing, clearly not used to such acts, had still tried her best to please him, which touched Yan Zhen.
“You’ve worked hard.”
Feeling his tenderness, Huangfu Wenqing was overjoyed, snuggling against his shoulder and whispering, “Are you… happy?”
Yan Zhen smiled faintly, teasing her, “What do you think?”
Huangfu Wenqing bit her lip, recalling the overwhelming… volume she had just swallowed, her cheeks flushed with a dazed pleasure, her arms tightening around him.
“I’m so happy, Yan Zhen~”
Yan Zhen sighed inwardly and kissed her gently on the forehead. “We’ve been in here long enough. Let’s go out.”
“Okay, let me help you get dressed.”
A few moments later, fully clothed, they left the bathroom, only to find the bed empty.
“Strange, where’s Long Ying?”
The gluttonous little loli usually ate until she fell asleep and wouldn’t wake up until she was hungry again.
Huangfu Wenqing, not at all concerned about the little Dragon Girl, let down her hair and said, “She probably went to Zi Xunyi’s room. It’s just as well. Let’s… rest.”
Yan Zhen was about to agree when he heard a knock on the door.
He opened it and saw Grand Elder Yu Yan standing outside.
“G-Grand Elder, what brings you here?”
Yan Zhen was extremely embarrassed. Huangfu Wenqing was still in the room, and they had just been intimate.
Although the Grand Elder wasn’t as unreasonable as the Dean, seeing her favored prospective son-in-law with another woman would still displease her, wouldn’t it?
“Can’t I come here?” Grand Elder Yu Yan’s usual gentle smile made her seem even more approachable. “I have something to discuss with you.”
“Oh, of course, Grand Elder, please.”
“Are you going to make me say it outside?”
“Uh…”
“It’s just your fiancée visiting. I’m not angry at all, hehe~”
—So she knows!
Yan Zhen’s scalp tingled. He said weakly, “Please come in, Grand Elder.”
Grand Elder Yu Yan entered the room and immediately saw Huangfu Wenqing, dressed in her nightgown, sitting on the bed. Huangfu Wenqing, startled, quickly stood up and bowed.
“Greetings, Grand Elder.”
“There’s no need for formalities.” Grand Elder Yu Yan’s tone was gentle, without a hint of anger. “Less than half a month after entering the Inner Academy, both of you have already made it onto the Rising Star List, and your cultivations have also improved significantly. Very impressive.”
Yan Zhen, unsure of her intentions, poured her a cup of water and placed it before her. “You flatter us, Grand Elder. Please have a seat. I’ll pour you some tea.”
Grand Elder Yu Yan nodded slightly, sat on the couch, took a sip of tea, and then said directly, “I’m here to discuss three things. First, regarding Xuan’er, I promised to arrange a monthly meeting for you two, and I won’t go back on my word. However, Xuan’er won’t be out of seclusion until the middle of the month. If you want to see her, come to the Yu residence with me then.”
He could see Instructor Yu Xuan? Yan Zhen’s eyes lit up, but remembering Huangfu Wenqing’s presence, he suppressed his excitement and simply nodded. “Thank you, Grand Elder.”
“Hmm?” Grand Elder Yu Yan frowned slightly, her narrowed eyes opening a fraction, a cold glint within, though her smile remained. “What did you call me?”
“Ahem, thank you, Great Aunt.”
“Good.” Satisfied with his corrected address, Grand Elder Yu Yan nodded. “Second, about your conflict with Wen Canglan. Before we discuss that, tell me, how did you become friends with Lady Zi Ji? Didn’t I tell you to stay away from that building? Did you ignore my warning?”
Three questions in a row.
Yan Zhen felt the pressure but calmly used the excuse he had prepared.
“You met in a dream?” Grand Elder Yu Yan looked surprised. “I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
“It’s absolutely true. If you don’t believe me, Great Elder—uh, Great Aunt—you can ask Zi Ji yourself.”
“So, Lady Zi Ji is cultivating a soul technique, and you’re also a partial soul cultivator. If your soul fluctuations are compatible, it’s not impossible for your dreams to connect.”
“I’m glad you understand, Great Aunt.”
“Sigh, forget it. I don’t want to interfere too much in you youngsters’ affairs. As for that Wen Canglan, he’s the Vice Dean’s grandson and ranked second on the Rising Star List. He’s far superior to you in both cultivation and connections. Be careful.”
“I understand, Great Aunt. I’ll avoid him.”
After all, their duel wasn’t scheduled until the annual “Star Picking Ceremony.”
It was best to avoid him until then and not give him any excuses to come looking for trouble.
Although Yan Zhen’s cultivation was lower than Wen Canglan’s, he had plenty of ways to deal with him. Not to mention Heaven and Earth Incineration or his trump cards, just the colorful snake scale gauntlets given to him by Cai Lian were enough to make Wen Canglan suffer.
“And the third matter?”
“The third matter is that this year’s two Polar Secret Realms are now open. Since you’re on the Rising Star List, you’re eligible to enter and cultivate within them. The Yang Polar Secret Realm is for body tempering, and the Yin Polar Secret Realm is for soul cultivation. Normally, after advancing in their cultivation, students choose one of them to stabilize their realm. You can choose either, but remember, after leaving the Yang Polar Secret Realm, you must refine the ‘Yang Essence’ within your body before entering the Yin Polar Secret Realm. Otherwise, the ‘Yin Essence’ within the Yin Polar Secret Realm will clash with the ‘Yang Essence,’ causing an imbalance, and vice versa.”
Yan Zhen nodded. These precautions were detailed in the script, so he was already aware of them.
“I’ve arranged everything. You’ll enter the secret realm first. When the time comes, I’ll take you to the Yu residence. Understood?”
“Yes, thank you, Great Aunt.”
“There are certain dangers within the secret realms. Most students work in teams. It’s best for you two to go together, so you can look out for each other.”
“Can we take Long Ying with us?”
“You can, but don’t let her get into danger. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the Supreme Elder.”
“I’ll protect her.”
The main thing was to prevent Long Ying from wandering off alone. She wasn’t just a glutton, but also had a terrible sense of direction.
“That’s all for now.” Grand Elder Yu Yan stood up and looked back and forth between Yan Zhen and Huangfu Wenqing. “Young love is understandable, but to become truly strong, you must learn self-control and maintain your focus. I hope you’ll keep this in mind—I’ll be going now. Come to my office if you have any questions.”
“We’ll see you off, Grand Elder.”
“Take care, Grand Elder.”
They respectfully saw Grand Elder Yu Yan off, then, after she left, they both sighed in relief and closed the door.
Although Grand Elder Yu Yan always had a gentle smile, the aura of a Mystic Ancestor was still quite intimidating.
