Chapter 14: The Tsundere Ancestral Master
From the pitch-black void, light slowly began to emerge, more and more of it. Yun Jiao’s senses expanded without limit, her mind flashing like a revolving lantern through vast regions. The lights gathered into mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, even the myriad beings of the Three Realms. The more expansive it grew, the smaller the living beings within appeared—like humanity compared to the universe. Only those colored lights remained constant, eternal.
A profound reverence rose in Yun Jiao’s heart as she entered a mysterious state. The questions that had long troubled her suddenly cleared away. It was as though a door had been flung open in her mind. But before she could probe deeper, Ye Yuan had already withdrawn his hand.
In the next instant, she emerged from that mystical state. Opening her eyes, she instinctively touched her chest, where traces of that overwhelming awe still lingered.
“Your doubts—do you understand them now?” Ye Yuan’s deep voice asked.
Yun Jiao froze, then nodded after a moment. “I understand. Thank you, Ancestral Master.” After such a direct demonstration, how could she not?
“Good.” Ye Yuan nodded in satisfaction. A disciple with comprehension. “Your aptitude is quite good. In the future, you must devote yourself to cultivation and not waste such talent.”
“Yes, Ancestral Master!” Yun Jiao nodded seriously and gave thanks again. Toward her teachers, she was always polite.
Since he didn’t seem in a hurry to leave, she quickly seized the chance to ask several other questions. Ye Yuan answered them all, as though there was nothing he didn’t know. To Yun Jiao, it was her first time seeing such a professional mentor. It completely cleared away her earlier doubts that Qingyang Sect might just be a charlatan’s sect.
“Thank you for clearing my doubts, Ancestral Master. I have no further questions.” Yun Jiao felt refreshed, lighter than if she had finished ten sets of practice exams at once. At last, she politely hinted that he could leave.
