Not to be outdone, Dongfang Yue then took his arm and closely sensed the flow of spiritual energy within him.
Thus, the two girls positioned themselves on either side of him, sandwiching him between them and allowing him to see them more closely. Anyone unaware of the situation might have thought he was enjoying the pleasures of having two women at once.
Yun Chu'an could feel the intense body heat of the two girls on either side of him, and even through their clothes, he could almost sense the softness of their young bodies. (The last sentence appears to be unrelated and possibly a fragment from another text.)
Thus, sight, smell, and touch took turns stimulating his senses, making him unable to resist. But he couldn't show even a trace of the emotions he was aroused, otherwise, what followed would likely be his social death.
He still had to maintain a proper and serious image in front of the two girls—at least in front of Su Youling!
What he didn't know was that after learning about his relationship with Yan Shuiyi, his image in Su Youling's heart had already been completely distorted.
"...In this way, we can summon three avatars. No rush, we can start practicing from the smallest, most basic, and simplest..."
He spoke in a gentle and detailed manner, and as he spoke, he exhaled another breath of fresh air, which transformed into three palm-sized figures that landed on the chessboard on the stone table in front of him.
The three little figures had indistinct faces, were pure white, and radiated a faint spiritual light. Under his mental control, they performed a set of Tai Chi, a set of Tongbei Quan, and a set of Baduanjin.
Two girls, one on each side, squeezed him, staring wide-eyed at the three little figures, their delicate faces filled with undisguised admiration.
Seeing this, Yun Chu'an smiled slightly, and the anxiety he had been feeling almost subsided.
Fortunately, both girls managed to stay calm and preserve their shining image. The tightrope walking performance was a complete success, and could be considered perfect.
Well, you're lucky.
He was satisfied with what he was thinking, but at that moment, the gate to the courtyard was suddenly pushed open, accompanied by Yan Shuiyi's voice: "My discussion has yielded results. Master said... um..."
Instantly, Yun Chu'an froze.
At the door, Yan Shuiyi, who had just barged in to discuss serious matters, saw that in less than half an hour, without her watching her man, he was flanked by two beautifully dressed girls, one on each side, seemingly enjoying the bliss of having two women at once.
One was his junior sister, and the other was Su Youling, who was so innocent that she was almost naive.
Originally, these two girls shouldn't have had anything to do with him, but now, their posture was so intimate.
Yan Shuiyi was already quite familiar with Yun Chuan's flirtatious nature, and seeing this scene, the girl immediately had a guess in her mind.
Then, the way she looked at him changed.
Then, she parted her lips slightly, her tone slightly eerie: "Did I come at the wrong time?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chuan felt a pang of despair as a cloud of hope descended upon her.
Alas, how bitter!
His scalp tingled, and for a moment he couldn't think of any way to appease Yan Shuiyi's sudden jealousy.
Chapter 772 But I'm willing!
In the desert, inside the camp of the desert uprising army.
The Xuanhuang Mother Beast has been captured and sealed away, and is being kept in this camp as an important tool for their resource production.
Everything seemed to be on track, running smoothly. But Zuo Qian was not entirely satisfied. He knew that as a leader, he had to be far-sighted, and similarly, as his most desired successor, he hoped that Gu Jian and Gu Yu, the siblings, would also be far-sighted.
Although their abilities seem insufficient to shoulder such a heavy burden, he still hopes that they, his two closest relatives, will be able to take on the responsibility in the future.
On this day, in the central tent of the rebel army, Zuo Qian sat upright, with Gu Jian and Gu Yu sitting side by side opposite him. Looking at the three teacups on the square table in the middle, Gu Yu quickly poured tea for her maternal grandfather and brother, then obediently sat down, waiting for her grandfather to speak.
Then, she heard Zuo Qian say in a deep voice, "I called you two here today to test your foresight and wisdom. After experiencing so much, I think you should already have your own opinions on the future development of the rebel army and how to fight against the tyrannical Qin."
"Tell me, Gu Jian. You're the elder brother, so you go first."
Gu Yu turned to look at her brother, Gu Jian, and then Gu Jian said, "I believe that although the rebel army has obtained the Xuanhuang Mother Beast, its strength is still weak and it is absolutely impossible for it to confront the Qin Dynasty head-on."
"We should take advantage of our desert environment, where we are like fish in water, and use mirages to wage guerrilla warfare against them. As long as the Xuanhuang Mother Beast does not return to their hands, the Qin people will be essentially crippled, their fighting strength greatly reduced!"
Zuo Qian nodded upon hearing this: "That's a good point, but it's just a means, not the ultimate goal. Our ultimate goal should still be to defeat the Qin state."
"How do you think this ultimate goal should be achieved?"
Gu Jian immediately said, "This grand goal is impossible for us to achieve on our own, but we don't need to achieve it ourselves."
"Currently, all the states in the Central Plains are united against Qin, and we can play a supporting role in this effort. In particular, we have a good relationship with the pillar of this coalition, Lord Yun Chu'an, and we can cooperate deeply with him to help him resist Qin!"
As he spoke, his eyes gleamed, and a burning ambition seemed to ignite deep within his pupils: "In the future, once the tyrannical Qin Dynasty falls, it's not impossible that we will not only be freed from the heavy and arduous corvée labor of the Qin Dynasty, but also be granted the title of 'Great Desert King' and govern our homeland for generations!"
Zuo Qian's eyes lit up, and he said, "Great! So, without a doubt, deepening our relationship with him will be a golden opportunity for us. I'm getting old and can't fight for many more years. In the future, it will be up to you to get along well with him."
He said, his gaze sweeping over his grandson and granddaughter: "You two, what are your thoughts?"
Gu Jian lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Grandpa, I've also studied some ancient books. It seems there are many similar cases in history, and the best solution should be, well..."
He tentatively uttered the word: "marriage alliance?"
Hearing this, Gu Yu's cheeks flushed crimson, and her mind involuntarily began to fantasize about whether she should marry him next...
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qian frowned and looked at his grandson: "Do you mean to marry your sister to him and make her his concubine?"
Gu Yu blushed, raised her head slightly, and whispered, "As things stand now, this seems to be the best decision..."
But before she could say "I do," she heard her brother say, "No, Xiaoyu, I know you're a sensible girl, but I've never thought of sacrificing your happiness for the sake of the family's interests!"
He said this with righteous indignation: "I am the elder brother. If anyone should be sacrificed, it should be me! I have already made up my mind. I will inquire about Yun Chuan's family and see if there are any good-for-nothing sisters. Then I will marry her as my legal wife and form a marriage alliance with her."
"In this way, our two families will become even closer!"
He said this, and Gu Yu, standing beside him, was immediately dumbfounded.
No, bro, that's not what I meant...
She wanted to explain, but Zuo Qian's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he nodded: "Hmm, that's more like it. I thought you were going to force your sister to marry someone else as a concubine!"
Gu Jian immediately said, "Grandpa! You're underestimating me. How could I possibly sacrifice my sister's happiness to force her to do something she doesn't want to do!"
Gu Yu remained silent, her heart filled with anxiety. She thought to herself, "Actually, I'm willing."
She blushed with embarrassment, but couldn't bring herself to speak directly. At that moment, Zuo Qian posed a new question: "But have you considered, Gu Jian, what if there isn't a suitable candidate within Yun Chu'an's family?"
"Then, what should you do?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu was overjoyed. Seeing her brother deep in thought because of this seemingly deliberately difficult question, she blushed and shyly said, "If that's really the case, then why don't I become his concubine..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zuo Qian and Gu Yu exclaimed almost in unison, "Absolutely not!"
Gu Yu was startled by their excited reaction and quickly shut her mouth, but her eyes were still wide open, not knowing what to do next.
Then she heard her maternal grandfather say in a deep voice, "I know, Yu'er, you have always been obedient and sensible since you were little, and you are willing to make sacrifices for your family."
"But now, the situation is different. We have a foundation and confidence. Even if we don't have any bargaining chips, we can do it, do it, and accumulate resources."
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "We can't sacrifice your happiness, a woman, to please the celestial being who can protect us!"
Gu Jian nodded, his eyes filled with determination: "Yes, and marriage alliance is just one of the means. If it doesn't work, we can use something else. Anyway, the situation is stable now. As long as we are not afraid of hardship, we can always accumulate enough bargaining chips to persuade Yun Chu'an."
"What have we been fighting for all this time? As your older brother, I absolutely cannot allow it. Even now, I'm still sacrificing my own sister's happiness, forcing you to become someone else's concubine against your will, just to secure your own position!"
Gu Yu was so moved she almost cried, but her feelings were complicated. Her lips trembled, and after a moment, she murmured softly, "Then, what if it wasn't actually against my conscience..."
Her voice was barely audible, and Gu Jian didn't hear her clearly at first: "What did you say?"
Gu Yu blushed, turned her head away, too embarrassed to look her brother in the eye: "N-nothing..."
The two men had never seen her like this before and were momentarily puzzled as to why she was behaving so strangely. However, they didn't pry or ask too many questions and continued to discuss what other methods they could use to more firmly bind the rebel army to Yun Chu'an's cause.
Gu Yu had stopped hearing her grandfather's and brother's discussion. Her face was flushed, but her thoughts drifted away to her beloved...
……
Time passes day by day.
Although there were quite a few minor incidents that gave Yun Chu'an a headache, his trip to the Qingyun Sect was generally smooth.
During the day, he would exchange magical techniques with Yan Shuiyi, Dongfang Yue, and Su Youling. Of course, he was mainly teaching Su Youling the technique "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones," while Yan Shuiyi and Dongfang Yue listened in, using it as a reference for their own techniques.
After all, while the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" spell seems powerful, capable of instantly summoning three avatars identical to oneself, its consumption is also enormous, and one must concentrate on controlling it in four ways, inevitably causing the power to be dispersed.
Therefore, this spell isn't particularly suitable for Qingyun Sect sword cultivators like Yan Shuiyi and Dongfang Yue, who typically need to engage in close-quarters combat. (The last sentence appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
For a cultivator like Su Youling, who hides in the back and doesn't need to engage in close combat with the enemy, but instead uses various wondrous functional spells from a distance, this move allows her to handle various complex situations with greater ease, making it an essential tool for her to deal with enemies.
Chapter 773 Dongfang Yue's Intimacy
At this moment, on the main peak of the Qingyun Sect, in the small courtyard where Yun Chuan was temporarily resting, Su Youling was controlling her three avatars, practicing making them move.
"One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four..."
Su Youling led the way at the front, followed by three "Su Youlings" who looked exactly like her, dressed and had the same temperament. They were making hand seals and walking with cat-like steps.
However, this kind of training was clearly not easy for Su Youling. Her pretty face was a little pale, and a bead of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Just then, one of her avatars swayed twice behind her, tripped over itself, and fell to the side.
Yun Chu'an rushed forward and caught the avatar. But the avatar's condition was worse than he had imagined. Her whole body was limp, and she leaned against his chest, falling into his embrace.
Instantly, his arms were filled with fragrant jade.
Although it was just an avatar, it was no different from Su Youling's original body. Her body was also light and soft, warm, and exuded a faint fragrance of a young girl, which was refreshing.
At this moment, Yun Chuan had no mood to enjoy the warmth of Su Youling's incarnation. Because he could feel two cold gazes locking onto his back.
It was Yan Shuiyi and Dongfang Yue who were watching from the side.
Yan Shui stared at him, her dissatisfaction evident, but she didn't show it much on her face. She was already well aware of his womanizing nature; even without taking any initiative, he would still attract a flood of suitors.
So she just stared at him to express her displeasure, but didn't say anything more.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Yue stared at him, secretly gritting her teeth and cursing inwardly.
You lecherous bastard! My senior sister and I were still watching over us, and he couldn't wait to take advantage of us!
What a pervert! Humph!
She gritted her teeth and pouted.
Meanwhile, Su Youling, the one in question, didn't find anything amiss. Although seeing her identical avatar nestled limply in Yun Chu'an's arms like a cooked noodle did seem somewhat strange.
But she was simple-minded and only understood that Yun Chu'an wanted to help her support the avatar, so she said from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you."
Yun Chu'an quickly helped her avatar to a chair nearby and made her sit down. Then, with a serious expression, he said, "No need to thank me, it's what I should do. But speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Su, why don't you start your practice with something simple?"
"For example, start by practicing only one avatar, and once you're proficient, then practice three at the same time?"
After practicing for the past few days, he also felt that although Su Youling's talent was good, it was still a notch below his own as a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
After all, she didn't have a system to help her improve her talent.
In response, Su Youling shook her head slightly and said, "No need. Actually, let alone one, even two, I can control them quite well. It's better to practice three directly..."
Seeing this, Yun Chu'an stopped trying to persuade him. Dongfang Yue suddenly stood up, walked over to him, and said, "In that case, why don't we let Senior Sister Su practice here first? If she has any questions, we can set aside time each day to answer them."
"Chu'an, didn't you come to our Qingyun Sect hoping to find some useful supernatural formations in the Scripture Pavilion? Come here, follow me. What do you need? I'll find it for you."
Yan Shuiyi also stood up and said, "You're right, this should be more efficient. Fellow Daoist Su, you should have no problems?"
Su Youling was simple-minded and didn't realize the problem at all. She only felt that this arrangement was indeed more efficient, so she nodded and said, "I have no problem with it. You are right. Let's do it this way!"
She looked quite happy and excited, and everyone nodded slightly before getting to work.
Subsequently, Yun Chuan, Yan Shuiyi, and Dongfang Yue sped off and arrived at the Sutra Repository on the other side of the main peak.
When Yan Shui asked him which part of the books he needed, he said he mainly needed the array setup techniques related to the Spirit Gathering Array, as he wanted to go back and modify and optimize the structure of the Spirit Gathering Array in Caozhou City.
In addition, he also needs a wide range of knowledge, including the raising of spirit beasts composed of earth elemental elements, methods for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, and the Qingyun Sect's reserves of thunder techniques.
Facing the two girls closest to him, he didn't hold back and blurted everything out.
Yan Shui was kind-hearted and didn't think much of it when she heard this. She immediately turned around and went deep into the library to help him search.
Dongfang Yue originally wanted to separate as well, but seeing that her senior sister had left, if she left too, Yun Chuan would only have one person by his side, without anyone to accompany him.
He was, after all, a guest, and this arrangement didn't seem particularly appropriate, so...
Why don't I keep him company myself?
At this thought, her emotions instantly surged with excitement, her heart pounding wildly, filled with anticipation for what was to come. You think of me, you think of me, you think of me, you think of me, you think of me, you think of me, you think of me, you think of me...
She tried to straighten her face, making her expression look quite serious, and then walked back to Yun Chuan's side along the huge bookshelf, standing prettily next to him.
Yun Chu'an had thought she was leaving, but when she suddenly returned, his expression changed: "What's wrong?"
Dongfang Yue turned her face away, seemingly indifferent and not caring about him at all: "It's nothing. I just thought that you might get lost in this huge and unfamiliar library by yourself, so I came to give you some pointers and act as your tour guide."
Yun Chuanxin said, "You don't need to worry about that. It's not like I haven't visited this Scripture Pavilion before. When I first came to Qingyun Sect a few years ago, I had already run up and down here several times."
While I wouldn't say I know it completely by heart, I can at least browse through it here without any problems.
This was his true thought, but seeing Dongfang Yue's shy demeanor, he wasn't so clueless as to send her away.
