After that, the three chose to return to Cloud Sea Sect, as Ye Tian reflected on the situation and realized that the responsibility lay with him.
If he hadn't insisted on descending the mountain immediately, none of these events would have occurred. He wasn't afraid of Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, but he couldn't expect others to feel the same; not everyone possesses the courage to defy authority.
Upon returning to Cloud Sea Sect, Ye Tian's life remained quite peaceful. As a direct disciple of Cloudscroll Pavilion, even if Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters had extensive connections, they couldn't possibly come to Cloudscroll Pavilion to trouble Ye Tian. As for Duan Liu and Bai Kuo, they were simply not on the radar of Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, so they could remain safe.
After returning to the mountain, news of Ye Tian confronting Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters had already spread. Duan Liu, as Ye Tian's friend, saw a significant increase in his status within Cloudscroll Pavilion; even direct disciples like Hong Zhi would greet him politely. However, this kind of situation had never happened before.
As for Bai Kuo, during this time, Ye Tian and Duan Liu had visited him a few times. Although he was also recognized as Ye Tian's friend, the impact on him was much smaller compared to Duan Liu because he was a disciple of Azure Cloud Pavilion. While Ye Tian's reputation was impressive, it was still primarily beneficial to Cloudscroll Pavilion.
To reassure Duan Liu and Bai Kuo, Ye Tian decided to "avoid" for a while longer. Although as time passed, many began to gossip that "Ye Tian is cowering out of fear of Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters," Ye Tian didn't care because a person's true nature cannot be determined by mere words. Moreover, these people were merely speculating without any basis.
This idle period lasted nearly a month. During this time, Ye Tian occasionally went for walks at Azure Cloud Pavilion with Duan Liu. Of course, they brought Wine Kid along since his "wife" was there.
Azure Cloud Pavilion had Cold Moon, Bai Kuo, and Luo Shanshan, so every time they visited, Ye Tian would go with Duan Liu and Wine Kid. After spending a month together, everyone had become familiar with each other. For instance, Bai Kuo and Cold Moon had previously only been fellow disciples but could now refer to each other as friends even without Ye Tian acting as an intermediary. Naturally, the relationship between Cold Moon and Luo Shanshan was even closer.
Time always flies during comfortable moments. Just as Duan Liu lamented how quickly time passed and another month had slipped away, Ye Tian had already improved his strength to the early stage of Four-Stage Martial Artist. Moreover, he had also mastered the defensive martial art Phantom Cloud from Cloudscroll Pavilion’s common techniques to a proficient level.
Phantom Cloud was Earth Level One; although it couldn't yet compare with Bagua Xuan Yuan Shield, Ye Tian believed that with his martial arts comprehension, it wouldn't take long for Phantom Cloud’s power to undergo a qualitative leap in his hands.
After a month of quiet cultivation, not only had Ye Tian fully recovered from his injuries, but Wine Kid was also in good shape. At this moment, the two were on their way to Duan Liu's residence with the intention of gathering all their "friends" for a bigger "deal."
...
It was now June, nearing the hottest days of summer. The weather began to warm up, and many disciples preferred to stay indoors for quiet cultivation; thus, they did not encounter many familiar faces along the way.
"You are describing it inaccurately!" Wine Kid suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking at Ye Tian with a frustrated expression.
Ye Tian felt helpless as Wine Kid expressed dissatisfaction with his comparison of their group of friends to "bad company."
"Alright, alright, how about calling them close friends instead?" Ye Tian quickly changed his words, not wanting to get into a dispute with Wine Kid over such matters. He had only referred to the group as bad company in jest.
"No need for that. What I mean is that Sister Ningyue cannot be called bad company. You can call the others whatever you like; it has nothing to do with me," Wine Kid said as he stepped ahead of Ye Tian.
"..." Ye Tian was left speechless and decided not to waste any more words with him. The two walked slowly, first meeting up with Duan Liu, and then heading towards Azure Cloud Pavilion.
Since they were not in a hurry, the three of them arrived at Azure Cloud Pavilion around evening. After reaching there, they found Bai Kuo and then called out to Cold Moon and Luo Shanshan. Finally, the six of them set off together towards the square where Cloudscar Peak and the Mission Board were located.
During the month they had spent together, they had become very familiar with each other, and there were no longer any constraints among them. Therefore, they joked and laughed along the way, creating a joyful atmosphere.
Just as they were about to leave the territory of Azure Cloud Pavilion, Ye Tian suddenly showed an unusual expression while joking around. He quickly moved behind the tall Bai Kuo, trying to hide his figure.
"Don't hide; I've already seen you," came a voice as sweet as a silver bell from a lively young woman approaching them.
"Yun'er, why did it take you so long to come back?" Cold Moon stepped forward. She had never held any hostility towards this potential rival for her sister's affections and had even formed a deep friendship with her in a carefree manner.
Ye Tian helplessly glanced at Cold Moon, puzzled by this situation. Although having multiple wives was common among men nowadays, it was hard for him to understand how someone like Cold Moon, with her Boss Lady personality, could allow her sister's rival to become friends with her. This was truly a perplexing matter for Ye Tian.
"The journey back home was long; it took me quite some time to return," Yun'er said while not looking at Cold Moon.
Seeing there was no way to avoid it, Ye Tian decided to step forward and said, "What am I hiding from? I just happened to be walking in that direction."
In response to Ye Tian's excuse, Yun'er only giggled lightly. After laughing for a while, she tilted her head and asked, "Did you miss me?"
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone immediately began teasing him as per their usual routine.
Amidst the uproar of cheers, Yun'er calmly smiled at Ye Tian, as if waiting for the moment when red clouds would appear on his face.
Yun'er had always been bold and never shy about her feelings for Ye Tian. In contrast, Ye Tian appeared quite passive. Initially, he felt embarrassed and unsure of how to respond, but over time, he developed a strategy to handle Yun'er.
This was the moment for him to counterattack. Ye Tian maintained a composed expression and said in a joking tone, "Go away, what do you want from me?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback for a moment. After a brief pause, Yun'er was the first to burst into laughter, followed by the other men who applauded and shouted words of encouragement like "Well done!" and "With strength!" The two women pretended to be angry, scolding Ye Tian for being rude and not knowing how to cherish a lady.
Yun'er had a good relationship with Cold Moon and often brought her along to gatherings. Therefore, after a month of absence due to Yun'er's sudden disappearance—reportedly returning home to visit family—everyone had grown quite close to her. However, it was expected that she wouldn't be part of this event.
But now that she was back, her presence in this group activity was inevitable.
"Are you going to play with your sister?" Cold Moon patted Yun'er's shoulder, looking very much like a boss lady.
Cold Moon's cool demeanor was usually reserved for outsiders; in front of her friends, she was not only warm but sometimes even wild and impulsive...
"Of course I'm going! How could I miss out on something like this?" Yun'er replied with a smile before turning back to Ye Tian and teasingly asked, "Aren't you especially happy that I'm joining you? Be honest and don't be shy!"
Ye Tian rubbed his face with both hands, appearing quite helpless, then joked, "I'll ask you one last time: can you go away?"
"Haha, no way!" Yun'er was lively and cheerful, completely lacking the bashfulness typical of a young woman. Her laughter was wild and spirited, reminiscent of Cold Moon's energy; it's no wonder they got along so well.
"Enough joking around; let's hurry up or we'll be late." Ye Tian felt quite helpless dealing with this extraordinary girl. However, truthfully speaking, he felt relaxed and at ease while joking with her.
"Let's go, let's go..."
It was getting late, so although everyone continued laughing and joking, they did not delay their journey. By the time night fell, they finally arrived at the square where they would take on their mission.
At this moment, the square was already sparsely populated, as the good missions during this time slot had undoubtedly been taken. What remained were either too far away or offered pitifully low Contribution Points rewards, or perhaps they concealed some hidden difficulties. In short, it seemed unlikely to find a satisfactory mission.
As the Boss Lady, Cold Moon naturally took on the responsibility of selecting missions. Her beautiful eyes scanned the Mission Board, carefully analyzing the most suitable tasks available.
Ye Tian was not concerned about what mission Cold Moon would choose; instead, he was focused on another matter—something he had not had the chance to bring up during their journey.
"Hey, come here," Ye Tian waved at Yun'er, his tone quite impolite.
Yun'er, however, did not mind. Instead, she smiled brightly and skipped over.
After spending some time together, although Ye Tian still deliberately avoided her, when avoidance was no longer possible, he no longer sought out ridiculous excuses to escape. Moreover, Yun'er could sense that Ye Tian was no longer as repulsed by her as before; in fact, he seemed to be trying to treat her like a friend.
"What’s up?" Yun'er always wore a radiant smile when talking to Ye Tian, her dimples deepening, exuding beauty and grace.
"Stop smiling. I have something serious to ask you," Ye Tian said with a frown. He always found it hard to be serious when speaking with Yun'er, which was why he often pretended to have a fierce demeanor—even though he knew that this so-called fierce look was not fierce at all.
"Are you laughing at me? What’s wrong? Are you going to hit me?" Yun'er made a funny face, completely unfazed by Ye Tian's intimidation.
