Chapter 1328: Chapter 1327: Does Eldest Senior Sister Often Mention Me?

"Often in secluded cultivation?" The grandma was somewhat surprised as she took a bite of an unknown fruit, rumored to be a specialty from some Food Planet.

"Aren’t you saying a lot of changes in the outside world are related to that little guy named Lu Yang? He seems to be very active in the outside world. How can someone like him often be in secluded cultivation?"

Yun Zhi remained composed as she explained, "Actually, Junior Brother is a very honest person; he was involuntarily dragged into those incidents, it’s not his intention."

"I just picked out some interesting things to talk about; he spends most of his time in secluded cultivation."

"He’s in a critical period of cultivation progress. It’s time for him to focus on cultivation. If he slacks off, that momentum will dissipate, which is not conducive for his future cultivation."

"So that’s how it is." The grandma suddenly understood; this Lu Yang really is an honest and down-to-earth kid.

Yun Zhi sighed in relief, having managed to appease the grandma for now.

Every time she came home, she would inevitably talk about interesting changes in the outside world, and that would always arouse the grandma’s curiosity about Junior Brother.

The two of them continued to chat about various household matters; time flew by.

Just when grandma started talking about how Yun Zhi used to secretly read under the covers as a child, making Yun Zhi a bit embarrassed, a bustling noise came from outside.

"What’s happening?" The grandma wondered, successfully distracted, and went to check outside.

"It must be Mengmeng returning; it’s always lively whenever she comes back."

Yun Zhi also stood up and walked out with the grandma, only to see a flock of beautiful women surrounding and endlessly gawking at Yun Mengmeng and Lu Yang.

Yun Zhi: "..."

She rarely showed a trace of perplexity, blinking to confirm she wasn’t seeing things.

Why is Junior Brother here?

"Do you know the person who came in with Mengmeng?" The grandma noticed Yun Zhi’s unusual expression.

"It’s Lu Yang."

"He is Lu Yang?" The grandma laughed, finding it quite coincidental. She was just talking about Lu Yang, and there he was.

Although Yun Mengmeng had warned him before entering the Secret Realm that the people there would be enthusiastic, Lu Yang hadn’t expected them to be this eager.

At that moment, Lu Yang was extremely embarrassed; no one had informed him beforehand that this place was all females—it was like they had never seen a man before, tugging at him as if he were a giant panda.

"Esteemed Daoist, please don’t tug at my clothes."

"We don’t have physical contact between men and women, don’t, don’t touch me." Lu Yang found his cultivation level utterly useless at the moment and could only feebly protect himself with words.

Lu Yang was quite puzzled. Why were all these females in Eldest Senior Sister’s hometown?

However, the situation and setting left no room for further thought.

"Hey, hey, stop touching."

Lu Yang turned to Yun Mengmeng for help, but Yun Mengmeng was also powerless against her own family members and ended up being surrounded as a victim too.

"Who is this guy, Mengmeng?"

"What’s your relationship with him?"

"How have I been teaching you all this time? Is this how you treat a guest? Disperse!" The grandma reprimanded, her stern tone making the women back away.

"So you must be Xiao Yang," the grandma said with a friendly smile.

"Grandma, you’re finally here!" Yun Mengmeng, seeing the grandma as if spotting a savior, quickly stood by her side.

"Second-in-command, let me introduce you, this is the Clan Leader of our Yun Clan."

"My name is Yun Bai, everyone calls me grandma."

"Nice to meet you, grandma." Lu Yang followed suit, noticing the silent, seemingly displeased Eldest Senior Sister standing beside him and began to regret whether he should have been beguiled by the Fairy to come here.

Lu Yang quietly moved closer to Grandma, as doing so gave him a sense of security.

"You child, why don’t you greet others when you see them?" Grandma chided.

"Junior Brother, come into the house."

This was the first time Lu Yang saw such an obedient Yun Zhi, a stark contrast to her usual demeanor, and the thought made him shiver uncontrollably.

Everyone entered and took a seat in the house, and Grandma personally poured tea for Lu Yang, the guest.

"Have a taste, this is our Peach Blossom Secret Realm’s specialty, Peach Blossom Tea."

Curled dry petals of peach blossoms unfolded and bloomed inside the cup, releasing a gentle aroma of peach blossoms. This scent was more pleasing than any peach fragrance Lu Yang had ever encountered—not because it was more fragrant, but because it was extremely comforting to smell.

Outside Grandma’s doorstep, female cultivators were peeking over the threshold, eager to look inside. Due to Grandma’s imposing presence, they dared not enter and could only stand there.

"Don’t push, don’t push, I was nearly squeezed inside."

"Who’s this person Sister Mengmeng brought? He seems very familiar with both Sister Mengmeng and Sister Xiao Zhi."

"Didn’t they say? It’s Lu Yang, Sister Xiao Zhi’s Junior Brother."

"Keep it down, I can’t hear what they’re saying anymore."

"Xiao Zhi often mentions you, and seeing you today, you really do look like an individual of remarkable talent."

For some reason, sitting here made Lu Yang feel particularly restrained, as if he had become the center of attention.

He cautiously held the teacup as if the tea was too hot, blowing on it gently before taking small sips and savoring the flavor, completely concealing the fact that he was a Great Cultivator in the Late Tribulation Stage.

I must say, this Peach Blossom Tea is indeed delicious.

Hearing Grandma’s words, Lu Yang’s hand trembled slightly as he held his teacup: "Eldest Senior Sister often talks about me?"

"Yes, she praises you for being talented at a young age, hardworking, diligent in your cultivation, and often in secluded cultivation."

Lu Yang felt inexplicably guilty. Is she really talking about me? So this is the image Eldest Senior Sister has of me.

"Should I be like that?"

Lu Yang stealthily observed Eldest Senior Sister’s reaction and saw her sternly warning him with her eyes not to talk nonsense.

Lu Yang straightened his back with effort: "Ah yes, that’s me, cultivation is great, it can increase Cultivation Level. I particularly like to cultivate."

"Yes, Second-in-command is very diligent in his cultivation," Yun Mengmeng interjected. "He’s reached the Late Tribulation Stage and even has a Dao Fruit Outline."

Grandma was somewhat shocked but soon her expression changed to one of admiration: "Late Tribulation Stage, not bad, really not bad."

"Actually, I have wanted to come here for a long time..." Lu Yang stopped mid-sentence, realizing he had almost blurted out his genuine thoughts, and hastily corrected himself.

"What I mean is, right after I finished seclusion, I asked Sister Mengmeng to bring me to see you."

"I also often hear Eldest Senior Sister mentioning you, Grandma. She says her accomplishments today cannot be separated from your nurturing since she was young."

"Nonsense, it’s mostly due to Xiao Zhi’s own talent."

"You’re too modest. You not only nurtured Eldest Senior Sister but also Sister Mengmeng. If anyone says it’s a coincidence, I will be the first to object," Lu Yang said righteously.

The more Grandma listened, the happier she became. This child Lu Yang is truly commendable, no wonder Xiao Zhi speaks so highly of him.

Yun Zhi fixed Yun Mengmeng with a cold stare that would have made anyone else tremble with fear.

Yun Mengmeng did not tremble, but she dared not meet Yun Zhi’s gaze and could only tattle.

"Grandma, look at Xiao Zhi, she’s glaring at me."

"Is that so?" Grandma turned to look at Yun Zhi.

With an unchanged expression and an indifferent tone, Yun Zhi responded, "Not at all, my eyes have always been like this."
