Chapter 233: Teasing
In a wide crater, Lan Ming was sitting beside Li Hai, as she secretly consumed a healing pill. The battle with Li Hai wasn't an easy one and she was injured, despite wearing the enchanted trench coat from Shen Yu.
Looking down at her opponent, Lan Ming considered something for a moment, before taking out a small yellow pill. She then flicked it, as it entered Li Hai's open mouth.
"Huh? What is this?" Li Hai asked, as he put the pill in the corner of his mouth.
"It's a healing pill," Lan Ming answered. "Master will judge you, not me."
"It's surprising you aren't killing me instantly," Li Hai confirmed that the pill was indeed the healing pill and swallowed it.
"You are our opponent, not enemy," Lan Ming stood up as she grabbed Li Hai by his collar. "Be careful!"
Saying that, she teleported back to the Sect, where Ying Yue was already waiting for her. She threw Li Hai to the sides and said, "He is Li Hai, the supreme elder."
Ying Yue nodded, as she understood why Lan Ming could have brought Li Hai back to the Sect. After all, they just couldn't go around killing everyone they see.
Since they didn't knew much about Li Hai, they had to wait for Shen Yu.
"Did all of them survived?" Ying Yue asked, ignoring Li Hai.
Lan Ming sighed and took off her mask, as she answered, "Not all of them, but majority did survive. I was actually expecting more casualities but the surprise attacks helped us greatly. We did lose some Members from the Shadow Garden, and many of them were injured heavily, but they survived."
"This Shadow Garden you speak of, is it your whole organisation or what?" Li Hai asked, looking around in surprise as he felt the rejuvenation of Qi.
Fortunately, although his cultivation was already abolished, he wasn't crippled so he could once again cultivate of he was given some time. This was also the reason he could still interact with atmospheric QI that easily.
"Speak another word and I won't wait for Master's judgement," Ying Yue sent a cold glare at Li Hai, instantly shutting him up.
"No need to be so hard on him," Lan Ming said, as she took out some roles and tied Li Hai swiftly. Then, she tied the open on a hook, saying, "This is enchanted so if you try to escape or use Qi, you will suffer greatly. Also, don't try to sneak your Nascent Soul out."
Li Hai nodded slightly and closed his eyes, thinking, 'Guess I'll sleep then. Old man, you're on your own now. Good luck because this time the enemy have come prepared.'
The two sisters then left the Pagoda and went outside of it, while chatting with each other.
"Why did you come back, Sister Yue?" Lan Ming asked, as she dismissed the trench coat, revealing her ravishing body hiding beneath a pair of black skirt and long sleeved white shirt.
Ying Yue, on the other hand, kept her black outfit and answered, "There was nothing much to do there so he sent me back. The role I was supposed to play was taken by Sister Song, so I had nothing to do."
"Hehe, so Sister Yue just got kicked out," Lan Ming giggled and poked Ying Yue's arms.
"Don't tease me, Sister Lan," Ying Yue sighed. "I was hoping for a good fight but I also didn't want to disobey Master. So I came here to share my misery with you. But look at you..."
She shook her head and said, "You two sisters really robbed everything of me."
Lan Ming chuckled softly and said, "Sorry about that. I'll make sure you enjoy the most from next time."
She smiled and pinched Ying Yue's cheeks, "Also, I'm happy you have opened up so much to me. I still can't believe you laugh at my silly jokes."
"Don't make fun of me, Sister Lan," Ying Yue smiled wryly. "I already feel bad knowing that I still keep everything to myself most of the time when I should share everything with others."
"Not really," Lan Ming smiled. "As master said, we have our secrets and you don't need to just open everything about it to keep a relationship healthy. You can do that, yes but it's not a necessity."
"I hope I can become like you," Ying Yue held Lan Ming's hand and said. "Thanks for helping me all this time."
"No worries. We are family, after all," Lan Ming smiled. "Now, tell me what happened in the headquarters and when is Master coming back?"
"The Headquarters should have blown up till now so he should be returning any moment," Ying Yue said. "As for what happened there, well, Master decided to give the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator of Slave organisation a chance for revenge."
"Ah! That's why Elder Sister kicked you out," Lan Ming exclaimed lightly. "How were the battles?"
"I didn't watch them properly as I came here but Sister Xiao was too amazing," Ying Yue's eyes shone as she remembered the majestic phoenix descending from the heavens. "She was so beautiful!"
The two left the Pagoda while talking with each other, as they headed towards the lake where everyone had decided to meet after everything was done.
"Oh yeah, you don't need to handle anything with the assassins?" Ying Yue asked.
Shaking her head, Lan Ming replied, "They are in good hands. After fighting under our sisters, they have began to admire them and now listen to them. Zhi Yan and other can handle them."
"That's good!" Ying Yue sighed, as they entered the small house Shen Yu made beside the lake.
Sitting on a table under the serene free, the two looked down at the lake or more precisely at the woman hovering above it.
"Who could she be?" Ying Yue narrowed her eyes. "I kinda feel familiar with her, yet I haven't seen her before."
"Master brought her here so she must be very important," Lan Ming said, then shook her head and corrected herself. "No, he would save someone even if they aren't important so she could just be any ordinary girl he found."
As they were talking, the space beside them rippled as a red headed woman stepped out, wearing a blue jeans and a crop top.
As her gaze landed on the duo, her lips tugged upwards as she said, "Yo! You didn't miss me, right?"
"As if anyone would miss you," Ying Yue rolled her eyes.
"Come on! You still haven't forgiven me?" the newcomer, Ning Xi landed on the chair beside Ying Yue's and hooked her arm around her neck.
She sniffed, saying, "You still blame me for everything, even after we ate our pussies and kissed each other?"
"Alright, alright. No need to go in details," Lan Ming hurriedly stopped Ning Xi, her face turning a shade of red.
At her words, both Ying Yue and Ning turned towards Lan Ming and looked at her with strange looks in their eyes.
"I can never relate this embarassed woman to the Lan Ming who screams so much in bed," Ning Xi shook her head.
"Nobody can solve this riddle," Ying Yue also sighed.
"Stop teasing me, you two," Lan Ming picked up two cups of water and threw it on their faces.
They easily avoided it and laughed, seeing Lan Ming getting even more embarassed. Eventually, even Lan Ming joined and laughed.
"Fun aside, how are you here?" Lan Ming asked. "Weren't you supposed to be in Federation to not arouse any suspicions?"
"The only one I arouse is master," Ning Xi said. "And do you really think Federation would stay silent after so many explosions throughout the Empire?"
She waved her hand, as a bowl full of grapes flew towards her and she began to munch on them.
Placing a grape between her teeths, Ning Xi said, "They sent me to investigate the surroundings, especially the Tando Woodland for any clues about who is doing all of this. Or should I say they are suspecting Wind Flower Sect case and this is somehow related so they want to find something from it."
"And as always, you directly came here instead of investigating," Ying Yue nodded, as she tried to take the grapes but Ning Xi pulled the bowl away.
"Of course I will. Why would I waste my time wandering around when I can spend that time with my family and especially my Hubby?" Ning Xi glared at her and gulped down all the grapes in one go.
After sending a smirk at Ying Yue, Ning Xi turned to look at Lan Ming and asked, "When is he coming though?"
"Should be anytime soon," Lan Ming said. Then remembering something, she said. "You came at a good time actually. Tell me, do you know anything about the Supreme Elder Li Hai of Celestial Sword Sect?"
Ning Xi tried to think of where she had heard the name before and said, "Hmm, that man who have a forest on his mouth?"
Lan Ming ignored the strange description Ning Xi gave and nodded.
"Yes, now tell me everything about him."
