"You sure no one can see you?" Le Fang Ling asked with a hint of doubt at Feng Po Po who was hovering around her.
They had been walking for hours without any problems stills he wanted to make sure about they were not looking suspicious at all.
Hearing the question, Feng Po Po nodded her head.
"No one can see me until I allow them to see me," she said as she completed placing a flower inside Le fang Ling's hair. She had carefully braided her hair on the side and placed a white daisy on it. as for where the flower came from, Le fang Ling had no idea.
"I think it's fine then," Le Fang ling said as she looked around the place they were walking on. After talking for a while, they had finally reached the sect hall of the Eternal Blossom Sect.
"I just hope no one thinks it's weird seeing a flower float in mid air," Nagina who had been with them throughout the journey said as she looked at Le Fang Ling and Feng Po Po with a pouty lips.
"What do you think, host?" Nagina curled up her lips in a smile as she hooked her arms on her waist. She slightly leaned towards her and whispered in her ears, "Want me to do something about her?"
"…."
Le Fang Ling stopped walking and looked at Nagina with a dumbfounded expression. She stared at her for a bit before she finally let out a loud laughter.
"You are funny Nagina," Le Fang Ling cracked up in laughter when she saw the serious look on her face. She could not believe Nagina was capable of making such a real and practical jokes with a serious face.
This was truly hilarious!!
Feng Po Po who had no idea what was going on, smiled awkwardly as she joined in the laughter.
Nagina looked at both of the laughing idiots with invisible sparks flying from her forehead.
"Junior!!"
A stern and deep voice called out to her making her stop mid way of her laughter. Le fang Ling turned her head to look at the source of the sound.
A tall and elderly man with white hair and beard was standing on the entrance of the sect hall with a parchment in his hand. He looked a bit solemn as he gestured to Le fang ling to come to him.
Feng Po po immediately disappeared in a whiff of air when she saw the man. She could see that this man was strong!! Very strong!!
'Wait, but I am still stronger,' a thought struck her as she was hiding herself. She threw away the camouflage she was going to apply on herself and flipped her hair as she looked at him.
"Grandmaster Lan!" Le fang Ling slightly bowed down when she saw him. It had been a week since she saw him properly. Well, it's not like she did not see him when they had the assembly this morning but still…
"What might be the problem, may I ask?"
Grandmaster Lan at first looked at her without saying anything. The only response he showed was a slight nod when she greeted him.
He extended his hand and placed the parchment he was holding right on her palm. He did not say anything more and simply turned away. Curious and a bit surprised, she looked at the piece of a parchment which smelled like a new ink and then back at Grandmaster Lan who was walking inside the hall.
Just as he was about to enter the room, he stopped walking.
"This letter is from your father," he said as he slightly turned his head, his side profile visible to Le Fang Ling. He seemed to want to say something more but he simply closed whatever he was about to day.
"Have a good evening disciple Le," he said before he headed inside the room. The door of the hall closed off right behind him, separating the two people.
"Is this from my dad?" Le Fang ling thought as she carefully observed the piece of paper on her hand. She was pretty sure it was from him, considering he was the only family member she had who was alive.
She shrugged as she handed the parchment to Nagina.
"Ehhh?" Nagina expressed her surprise when she was handed the paper. She had thought that her host was going to read the whole thing there and then!!
"We will read it later, I do not want to ruin my mood right now," she said with a heavy sigh when she understood what Nagina was thinking.
"I will be meeting him soon anyways, let me just keep my moment of peace, hmm?" Le fang ling looked at Nagina and winked playfully. Before Nagina could react to her flirtaous gestures, she was caught on wrist by Le Fang Ling and dragged with her.
"Let's go, we still have many things to show to her," she said with a smile as she pointed at Feng Po Po who was looking at them cluelessly.
"Pfft, fine," Nagina nodded her head as she started to walk along with Le Fang Ling.
"Huh? Why are you laughing?" Feng Po Po asked, clueless about the whole situation. She liked that the humans she had met were smiling and having fun although she had no idea why!!
"Nothing at all," Le Fang Ling smiled as she pulled Nagina closer.
Feng Po Po eyed both of them with suspicion when she saw their overly intimate gestures. She noticed Le Fang ling squeezing Nagina's hand from the corer fo her eyes. Her eyes widened in shock while her jaw almost dropped to the floor in surprise.
"You are doing unprotected hand holding!! In public!" she clasped her hands to her chest.
"…."
"…."
"Well, we are just a pair of stupid love birds, nothing more!!" she chuckled, her eyes forming a beautiful shape as she narrowed them.
"It's only fair that our hand holding is unprotected."
Blink once, blink twice, and blink thrice!!
Feng Po Po uncontrollably blinked her eyes as she looked at Le Fang Ling and Nagina, and tried to digest the information she just got.
"Y-Y-You me-a-an," she stammered as she looked at the couple in front of her.
"Indeed I mean that," Le Fang Ling smiled as she placed a soft kiss on Nagina's forehead right in front of her.
Seeing them holding hand and kissing right in front of her, Feng Po Po suddenly flushed to a bright pink. Her jade white skin had a tint of pink luster out of shame.
"Lewdd!!" she exclaimed as she covered her face with her palm.
"Well, we are what we are," Nagina said with a smile on her face, looking happier and brighter than before. She was feeling a bit down during the day but this small gesturer was more than enough to turn around her whole day.
"Fine, fine, so you are couple," Feng Po Po sighed as she finally accepted the truth between them. It's not like that she had nay problem with it, it just felt a bit weird for her to see romantic relationship between two girls.
"Maybe I am too old for the new generation of cultivators," she sighed with a drooping head as she followed behind the two girls. She was just a bit taken aback with this surprise that was dropped down on her out of nowhere.
"Just so you know, I am not against you tow being together at all," she spoke out after thinking for a while.
"I just need some time to accept it, since we are going to be together for quite a while now," she added immediately when her eyes fell upon the two pairs of eyes staring back at her.
"Thank you for telling me beforehand," she patted both of them on their head. Although she had never once fallen in love with anyone, she hoped things worked out best for them.
"Alright!! Where are we going now?" she said when she saw that it was already getting dark. The sun had already hid behind the hill and a few stars were starting to make their grand entrance.
"Well, come here both of you," Le fang ling smiled as she led both of them to the top of the hill from where one could look down at the entire vermillion peak.
It was not that far away from the place they were at, so they immediately reached the top of the hill. But it seemed that there was someone else who had arrived before them.
Le Fang Ling noticed the familiar silhouette and a wide grin spread on her face, her eyes brightening.
"Senior sister An Cheng!!" she yelled out as soon as she saw her.
Hearing her name being called, An Cheng turned around and saw that it was Le Fang Ling and Nagina who had arrived on the top of hill.
"Sister Fang Ling," she said with a sweet smile on her face upon seeing the girl.
"Are you here to see the grand opening of the tournament?" she said as her eyes travelled to her eyes, her nose and lips before finally moving to her jawline.
"Cough, I mean, good to see you," she immediately turned away her head before she was caught in her shameless act.
"The pleasure is mine," Le fang Ling nodded her head.
"I wa-" she was about to add something more, but her voice got drowned by the loud exploding sound which filled the sky with beautiful lights of all color.
"The firework is beginning, the Annual tournament is finally commencing," An Cheng mumbled as she balled up her palm in a fist.
