Chapter 148 - Brother Liang: What does it have to do with me?

The silvery moonlight shone on Xiao Yunluo's delicate but somewhat haggard face.

Although she tried her best to hide her reluctance, she couldn't escape Ye Anping's eyes.

She must have cried quite sadly just now.

But Ye Anping understood that it was normal for a teenage girl to cry when she was heartbroken in love.

After a while, it will naturally pass.

So, he ignored that fact and instead used his spiritual sense to check his meridians.

Although the spiritual energy in his meridians was almost overflowing now, his cultivation level had not increased much. At best, he was about to reach the middle stage of the Foundation Building.

This was slightly below his expectations.

After all, only Wu Yu's previous settlement had allowed him to advance to a higher cultivation level.

As for this settlement, even putting Li Feng aside, there were three more demonic cultivators in the Core Formation stage, which should at least bring him to the middle or even late stage of the Foundation Building.

However, he understood the reason after checking deeper with his spiritual sense.

The 'golden finger' settlement was indeed enough for him to directly improve his cultivation level to the middle stage of the Foundation Building.

However, most of the spiritual energy seemed to wander through his body as if it had nowhere to settle.

That being the case, if he understood correctly, he should have encountered a bottleneck.

He originally thought that his 'golden finger' would allow him to forcibly cross the bottleneck and increase his cultivation level straight away. It seemed though that this 'golden finger' was not as heaven-defying as he thought.

He still couldn't avoid the bottleneck that a dual spiritual root cultivator should encounter.

However, on second thought, this could also be a good thing.

His practice progress was still stuck at the Qi Refining Perfection level.

If his cultivation level rose too fast and his skills could not keep up, then he'd be nothing more than a punching bag.

It was just as well that the Dragon House matters had settled, so he could just take his time to fix his cultivation issues and improve his training methods.

Ye Anping opened his eyes, exhaled heavily, then looked at Xiao Yunluo. "Sister Xiao, please help Miss Li handle the internal affairs of the Dragon House in the next few days. She is blind and needs some time to adapt."

Xiao Yunluo glared at him, crossed her arms, and turned her head. "Hmph! I don't need you to tell me this. I would have helped her even if you didn't say anything."

"Oh."

Ye Anping resigned himself that this girl would probably give him the cold shoulder for a long time, but he said nothing and turned to look at Pei Lianxue.

"Sister, are you rested? If you're rested, we'll go back with Brother Liang."

"Uh-huh..."

Go back and kiss... Pei Lianxue nodded like pounding garlic, full of expectation.

However, just as Ye Anping took his hand off Pei Lianxue's shoulder and stepped forward, he suddenly felt his legs go limp, lost his balance, and fell forward.

Startled, Pei Lianxue quickly grabbed Ye Anping's right hand, preventing him from falling directly.

Xiao Yunluo, who was still angry, also looked horrified when she saw this. Unconsciously, she stepped forward, leaned toward him, and placed his left hand on her shoulder to support him.

Hearing this, Xiao Yunluo was slightly startled. This second idiot actually came up with such a wonderful proposal.

She nodded hurriedly and answered. "Yes, Lianxue, Ye Anping is very tired. Why don't you stay here tonight to meditate and tend your wounds, and I will carry Ye Anping on my back to find a place to rest first... You need to rest as well."

Pei Lianxue shook her head. "No, my husband said to go back now."

With that, she turned to look at Liang Zhu, who was sitting on the ground meditating, and softly called out his name. "Brother Liang."

"..."

Liang Zhu opened his eyes, glanced at Ye Anping and the three girls beside him, and suddenly saw Xiao Yunluo staring at him with a dark face.

He understood.

Miss Xiao wanted the Sixth Brother to stay here to rest, while his younger sister wanted to take him back to the Jiang Mansion. As for the white-haired one, she was staring at the younger sister for some reason...

In other words, Miss Xiao wanted him to help persuade the younger sister to let Ye Anping rest in the Dragon Mansion.

"..."

--You girls are jealous of each other, what does this have to do with me?

Liang Zhu was a little depressed.

If he said he would take Sixth Brother to Jiang Mansion, Miss Xiao would be displeased with him.

If he said that he would let him stay in the Dragon Mansion, the sister would be unhappy with him.

After a moment of silence, Liang Zhu asked in a low voice, "Have you decided? Will you let him stay here or bring him back?"

Pei Lianxue was motivated to go back for a kiss, so she frowned and replied, "We're going back!"

Xiao Yunluo argued. "Sister Pei, it's a long way from here. Isn't Dragon Mansion pretty good?"

"We'll go back!" Pei Lianxue raised her eyebrows and turned to look at her. "Husband said to go back."

"..."

Liang Zhu watched Xiao Yunluo being dominated by Pei Lianxue and sighed. He stood up and walked over, taking Ye Anping from the two girls and lifting him on his back. Then, he looked at Pei Lianxue. "Can you drive the flying sword?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Good. Miss Xiao and Miss Feng, farewell."

Liang Zhu nodded to them, then brought Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue out of the back room, summoned the flying sword, and they left together for the Jiang Mansion.

After they left, Xiao Yunluo sighed and glanced at Feng Yu Die.

"Second idiot, how is your injury?"

"Hehe, I'm very tough," Feng Yu Die blinked and said with a smile. "Look, the injury on my shoulder has already scabbed over. If I apply some medicine later, it will probably be healed as soon as I wake up.

Xiao Yunluo glanced at the swollen lump on Feng Yu Die's shoulder and poked it.

Feng Yu Die jumped back in pain and covered her shoulder. "Hiss---Sister Xiao, what are you doing~~?"

"Your wound healed so quickly, I was curious." Xiao Yunluo waved her hands. "Forget it, let's go back and rest. Tomorrow, I have to help Sister Li manage the Dragon House."

"Oh~~ Okay!"
