Chapter 330 Sect Daily Life (Part 2)
Ye Fan's forehead pressed against the cold bluestone slab, his heart beating like thunder.
The person before him was the legend who single-handedly founded the Immortal Spirit Sacred Ground, a great figure standing at the very pinnacle of the entire Xuanying Continent.
"Get up."
Chen Chang'an's voice was close at hand.
Ye Fan raised his head tremblingly, meeting exactly the smiling eyes of the Ancestor.
Those eyes appeared ordinary, yet seemed to contain thousands of stars; just one glance was enough to make his soul tremble.
What was even more terrifying was that he could not feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power from the other party, as if he were facing a true mortal.
"Since you are Xingcai's disciple, there is no need to be nervous?"
Chen Chang'an turned and walked towards the open space outside the house.
"Come have a cup of tea."
"Yes! Ancestor!"
Ye Fan took a long breath, forcing himself to calm down as he followed in Chen Chang'an's footsteps.
He saw a small stone table in the open space, with several bamboo stools scattered nearby.
Chen Xingcai very naturally sat down beside Chen Chang'an, then beckoned Ye Fan to come over as well.
However, Ye Fan refused to sit no matter what.
Subsequently, Chen Chang'an personally brewed the tea, his movements flowing like clouds and water.
Ye Fan stood stiffly, his spine ramrod straight, his hands placed obediently at his sides.
He noticed that the Ancestor's fingers were slender and fair, without a single callus commonly seen on cultivators.
"Try this tea."
Chen Chang'an pushed the teacup in front of him.
"It is the Cloud Mist picked this year."
Ye Fan held the teacup with both hands, terrified of spilling a single drop.
The tea soup was clear, and the fragrance was faint. He carefully took a sip and immediately felt a warm current slide from his throat into his dantian, causing all the pores in his body to relax.
"Good tea!"
He blurted out, and for some reason, the last trace of fear in his heart finally slowly dissipated along with this tea fragrance.
Chen Chang'an chuckled softly.
"It is good that you like it."
He turned to Chen Xingcai.
"You have somewhat of the appearance of a master now; Graceful as a Startled Goose is indeed not suitable for him. I have a set of the Dragon Roar Art here, which is quite appropriate."
As he spoke, he took out a green jade slip from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
Dragon patterns swam on the surface of the jade slip, and a low dragon roar could be faintly heard.
Ye Fan widened his eyes.
For some reason, when he heard the dragon roar, he actually felt faintly that certain things within his body were resonating.
"Why haven't you thanked him yet?"
Chen Xingcai reminded him.
Ye Fan hurriedly got up and was about to bow, but Chen Chang'an raised a hand to stop him.
"There is no need for such courtesy."
His gaze suddenly became profound.
"I see that you possess the bloodline of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. Coupled with what you have gained this year... this cultivation technique is exactly right for you."
Ye Fan shook all over.
The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was his greatest secret; had the Ancestor seen through it at a single glance?
And, the things gained this year... what did the Ancestor refer to?
Chen Chang'an shook his head.
"You have done very well this year. Cultivate properly in the future; do not waste the gifts brought to you by those who trust you."
"Yes, many thanks, Ancestor."
Ye Fan bowed again.
Although he did not understand the Ancestor's meaning, he could roughly comprehend that the experiences of this year and those who trusted him had also brought him many benefits he was unaware of.
It was not until he had walked a long distance from the wooden house that Ye Fan let out a long breath of relief, only to discover that his back was already soaked through.
He looked back, and that simple wooden house appeared exceptionally peaceful under the setting sun, as if everything just now had been an illusion.
"The Ancestor, he..."
Ye Fan's voice trembled.
Chen Xingcai casually took out a jade badge and handed it to him, then patted her disciple's shoulder.
"Father has always been like this; you will get used to it."
"By the way, this jade badge allows free access to this place. If I am not here, you may come to find him directly if you have any questions."
Ye Fan gripped the jade badge in his hand, unable to help a bitter smile in his heart.
Is this the privilege that only Master's disciples can exercise, as Master said?
But Master, although the Ancestor seems easy to get along with, I must have the courage to do so first.
The wooden door of the house gently closed, and Chen Chang'an sat on a lounge chair, the expression on his face quickly calming down.
In the next instant, his consciousness had returned like flowing water to the residence in Ping'an Ward of Immortal Spirit City—or to be precise, it had returned to the body of Lin Wan.
"You are back?"
Ji Hongli's voice came from behind him, carrying a hint of lazy laughter.
Chen Chang'an—in the form of Lin Wan at this moment—helplessly turned around to see his wife leaning on a soft couch, toying with a green jade hairpin in her hand.
"Hongli, how much longer will this game be played?"
Lin Wan's cool voice carried a trace of helplessness unique to Chen Chang'an.
Ji Hongli laughed lightly and got up, her slender jade fingers stroking Lin Wan's cheek.
"What are you rushing for? It is only the third day."
Her fingertips slid down along his neck, gently drawing circles on his collarbone.
"You clearly enjoy it too, do you not?"
Lin Wan—or rather, Chen Chang'an's consciousness—could not help but tremble slightly.
Indeed, the sense of immorality brought by this displacement of identity, as well as certain proclivities his wife had suddenly awakened, made him experience an unprecedented stimulation.
But what followed was an indescribable, subtle sense of shame, as if something important had fallen to the ground with a snap and shattered, yet could never be retrieved.
"That child Ye Fan is not bad."
Lin Wan stiffly changed the topic.
"The Dragon Roar Art is indeed suitable for him."
Ji Hongli pouted and finally let go of the fun of teasing "Lin Wan."
"I told you so a long time ago."
She turned around and took out a scroll of a jade slip from her dressing case.
"Back when I was told that kid possessed the Desolate Heaven Sacred Body and carried so much merit, I thought of this supreme immortal method."
Only then did Chen Chang'an realize that his wife had seen through everything long ago.
That scroll of the Dragon Roar Art lay quietly on the vanity, with faint dragon-shaped patterns flowing on the surface of the jade slip—it was exactly the scroll he had just given to Ye Fan.
"You..."
Lin Wan opened his mouth, suddenly feeling it was a bit funny.
"So you knew long ago that Xingcai would bring him here?"
Ji Hongli blinked her eyes slyly.
"With Xingcai's thoughts..."
She suddenly leaned close, her red lips almost touching Lin Wan's earlobe.
"As her master, how could I not know?"
Lin Wan—Chen Chang'an's consciousness—sighed inside the female body.
However, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly spoke with a smile.
"Speaking of which, your current identity is not just Xingcai's master anymore, is it..."
Ji Hongli rarely froze for a moment, and then a trace of shyness actually appeared visibly on her face.
Having finally seized the opportunity to tease his wife, Chen Chang'an continued.
"Then can I also call you... Mother of our child now?"
Ji Hongli reached out to hit him, but he immediately pinched Ji Hongli's hand. In the next moment, he finally turned the tables and pulled Ji Hongli into his embrace.
Feeling the soft body in his arms gradually soften, Chen Chang'an suddenly spoke in a serious tone.
"Xingcai has grown up now and has a disciple. It is time for us to... tell her about our relationship..."
The delicate body in his arms suddenly stiffened.
It was not until a long time later that Chen Chang'an heard a voice that was barely audible.
"Mm."
