After Crossdressing and Provoking Long AoTian

Yu Qingtang regretted it deeply.

Some topics, as long as he did not bring them up, would never get dragged into things... so why couldn’t he control this mouth of his?

Yu Qingtang stared gloomily at the grand, ethereal gate of Guiyi Sect before him.

What an impressive great sect. It simply could not be mentioned in the same breath as their Biehe Sect.

Ye Chenyan turned back and smiled at him. “You don’t need to worry. Although Guiyi Sect is large, everyone here is very friendly. They won’t make things difficult for you.”

Yu Qingtang nodded in profound agreement.

Of course. The unfriendly ones had long since been taught a lesson by you. Now your Guiyi Sect really was harmonious, happy, united as one.

“If we’re talking about someone fierce...” Ye Chenyan walked ahead to lead the way. “Only the sect master. But I doubt we’ll run into him.”

Yu Qingtang huffed and puffed as he climbed up through the mountain gate and casually echoed him. “Mm-hmm.”

But Ye Chenyan suddenly stopped ahead of him.

Yu Qingtang froze, and a bad feeling abruptly rose in his heart—don’t tell me this was one of those “speak of the devil” moments, and Guiyi Sect’s sect master, Sword Sovereign Tianyi, had arrived!

He lifted his head with trepidation. Standing before the mountain gate was a handsome middle-aged man with white hair and a white beard. His robes were long and his sleeves broad, his expression cold and stern. In particular, his eyes were sharp as swords. Yu Qingtang had only glanced at them once before he could not help taking a step back.

Ye Chenyan stepped forward to block him and saluted modestly. “Sect Master, this disciple has returned.”

“You have returned.” Sword Sovereign Tianyi’s voice was just as cold. “Yet you gave no notice.”

“You secretly brought someone back. What are you planning?”

Ye Chenyan guiltily rubbed his nose. “It wasn’t exactly secretly...”

Sword Sovereign Tianyi’s gaze swept over Yu Qingtang, paused, and then only said to Ye Chenyan, “Ling’er has gone down the mountain to look for you.”

Ye Chenyan shrugged. “Then what bad timing. I’ve come back up the mountain again.”

“Sect Master, don’t tell her yet, or she’ll start making a fuss again.”

“Too late,” Sword Sovereign Tianyi said flatly. “I already told her. She asked me to come block you.”

Yu Qingtang lowered his head and stared at the tips of his own shoes.

A daughter-obsessed sword-path supreme versus the Long Aotian disciple opening a harem.

In the plot, when Sword Sovereign Tianyi first learned that Li Ling’er insisted on joining Long Aotian’s harem, he had truly been moved to kill. He made Long Aotian take three strikes from him.

If Long Aotian endured them, he would let him roll out of Guiyi Sect alive.

If he could not, he would be scattered on the spot.

Later, Long Aotian unified the immortal sects, and Li Ling’er joyfully joined his harem. Sword Sovereign Tianyi never said anything again.

—Yu Qingtang had actually secretly felt that part was not very reasonable. With Sword Sovereign Tianyi’s temper, no matter how powerful the other party became, he would never let his daughter suffer.

But this was a Long Aotian novel. Such details could not withstand scrutiny.

Yu Qingtang was still distracted when Ye Chenyan muttered “bad,” grabbed him, and ran.

“Eh, eh?” Yu Qingtang was caught off guard and dragged into flight, yet he was still very polite as he greeted, “Greetings, Senior... Goodbye, Senior!”

But they failed to slip away.

Sword Sovereign Tianyi did not move. His sword did not leave its sheath. Yet a heaven-covering, earth-overturning pressure of sword intent had already descended. The two of them were like little fish caught in a net, unable to break free from this inescapable net no matter what they did.

A clear laugh rang out. “Old Man Li, you shameless elder! How dare you bully my disciple!”

The restraints on the two of them instantly dissolved. Ye Chenyan dragged Yu Qingtang and hid behind the newcomer.

Sword Sovereign Tianyi’s face was cold as frost, and he was about to strike again when Tianji Zi, who had barely arrived in time, winked and made faces at him. “Wait! This is the younger generation’s own romantic business. Why are you sticking your hand into it?”

When Sword Sovereign Tianyi heard this, his movement paused. “Romantic business?”

Under the pressure of two major powers, Yu Qingtang struggled to speak, attempting to deny it. “No, no, no...”

“Ah, don’t be shy.” Tianji Zi turned back with a grin. “Looks like Sect Master Senior Brother still doesn’t know what excitement he wandered into.”

“Ling’er...” Sword Sovereign Tianyi frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he withdrew his hand and sighed. “Forget it.”

Tianji Zi clicked his tongue and shook his head. “How did a slow, dull gourd like you ever manage to marry a wife and have a daughter...”

Sword Sovereign Tianyi’s face was expressionless. The hand he had just lowered rose again.

Tianji Zi abruptly changed tack. “Surely it must have been because Madam is clever beyond compare, and only she could see the sincerity beneath that cold face of yours. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Truly enviable.”

Sword Sovereign Tianyi slowly lowered his hand, turned, and left. Only his expression carried a hint of barely perceptible pride. “Naturally.”

Yu Qingtang: “...”

As expected of Tianji Zi. With just a few words, he had twisted the road through a mountain pass. Yu Qingtang’s heart had nearly leapt out of his chest.

Only after Sword Sovereign Tianyi truly left did Tianji Zi smile and turn his head, giving the two of them a meaningful look. “See? Guiyi Sect specializes in producing devoted romantics.”

He leaned closer to examine Yu Qingtang, smiling like a fox. “Aiya, so this is the sweetheart that foolish disciple of mine talks about every day...”

Yu Qingtang braced himself and was just about to answer when Ye Chenyan pulled him behind himself. With a strange expression, he sized Tianji Zi up and down. “You... you’re my Master?”

“Heh—” Tianji Zi rolled up his sleeves and raised a hand to hit him. “Brat, now you don’t even recognize your own Master!”

Ye Chenyan leaned back to dodge and pointed at that face, his expression subtle. “Aren’t you usually a rotten old man? Why did you turn into this?”

The Tianji Zi before them was graceful and handsome, with a smile at the corner of his lips, every inch the charming young gentleman. Where was even half a shadow of a rotten old man?

“What kind of talk is that?” Tianji Zi scoffed and proudly smoothed his hair. “Your Master became famous young, so naturally my appearance froze in my youth. This is my real appearance.”

“As for turning into that on normal days, of course it’s to avoid trouble.”

Relying on the fact that Sword Sovereign Tianyi had already walked far away, he unceremoniously exposed the other man’s old secrets. “Your sect-master martial uncle is the same. Don’t look at that dignified middle-aged appearance he usually wears. Once he goes home, he has to turn back into his original young appearance to coax Madam into being happy...”

Before he finished speaking, a streak of sword intent came through the air.

Tianji Zi’s smile did not diminish. He spun aside with marvelous footwork, pointed into the distance, and laughed. “Stretching your ears that far, Old Man Li?”

“Petty.”

Then he smiled at Yu Qingtang. “An important guest is coming today. I had to tidy myself up no matter what.”

“What?” He deliberately provoked Ye Chenyan. “Are you afraid I’ll steal your limelight?”

“Heh.” Ye Chenyan turned his head away in disdain.

“Back in the day, I was also a famous beautiful man throughout the Nine Provinces.” Tianji Zi stroked his chin and smiled. “Who knows how many fairies and prodigies bent at the waist for me...”

Ye Chenyan took Yu Qingtang and turned around. “Ignore him. I’ll take you around Whatever Peak.”

Before Yu Qingtang turned away, he greeted Tianji Zi with fear and trembling. “Greetings, Senior.”

“Ai—” Tianji Zi accepted kindly, then happily trotted after them and pointed at Ye Chenyan while criticizing him. “Look how polite he is. Then look at you.”

“Come, come, come. Good child, I’ll take you around.”

Yu Qingtang was overwhelmed by the favor. The friendlier the other party was, the more terrified he became.

The three of them walked up from the foot of Whatever Peak. Tianji Zi smilingly pointed at the spring at the base of the mountain. “This is Peach Blossom Spring. Back then, I picked this brat up from an ancient battlefield. He was pitch-black all over, so I rinsed him in this spring.”

Ye Chenyan crossed his arms and sneered. “I was still in swaddling clothes back then, and you pushed me into the water. The only reason I survived until now was because my life was strong.”

Yu Qingtang’s lips curved. When Ye Chenyan looked over, he quickly turned his head and pretended he had not laughed. “The s-scenery is quite nice. Cough.”

“Hehe.” Tianji Zi casually pointed again at the two fish in the clear spring. “I even raised two spiritual carp and waited for them to fill the whole pond with little fish, so they could nourish your body...”

Ye Chenyan raised a brow. “Then why haven’t I eaten a single one?”

“Aiya.” Tianji Zi smiled brightly. “That grandson from Beastmaster Sect tricked me. He said one male and one female would produce a whole pond in their lifetime. In the end, both of them were male!”

Yu Qingtang’s smile froze on his face.

He definitely knew something.

He was absolutely hinting at something.

“In that case,” Ye Chenyan said with a raised brow, “couldn’t you kill one and buy a female one back?”

“Ai—” Tianji Zi shook his head in disapproval. “Look at the two of them. So intimate, so loving. Why tear them apart?”

“Besides, you’ve grown this big already. What do you need fish for?”

He turned his head and smiled at Yu Qingtang. “Right, Little Yu?”

Yu Qingtang nearly jumped. “Huh? Huh?”

Ye Chenyan disdainfully grabbed Tianji Zi and dragged him a little farther away. “Don’t get so close. Shameless old man.”

“Ha, disdaining your Master now?” Tianji Zi widened his eyes and revealed a wicked smile. “Then don’t blame me for disregarding our master-disciple bond... Come, come, come, Little Yu. I’ll take you to see his room.”

“Wait!” Ye Chenyan froze, then quickly chased after them. “What are you going to my room for!”

Tianji Zi’s smile was cunning. “Did you hide away all the things that can’t see the light, dear disciple?”

“Are there any little picture books, dirty clothes, and so on that you forgot to put away?”

“Nonsense!” Ye Chenyan denied it rapidly. “Don’t listen to his nonsense! I have never had anything like that!”

“Still won’t admit it?” Tianji Zi leaned close to Yu Qingtang’s ear. “This brat has loved looking at beauties since he was little. The Nine Provinces Beauty Ranking published by Wen Tianxia—he never missed an issue. Bought every single one!”

Ye Chenyan gnashed his teeth. “That was!”

He glanced rapidly at Yu Qingtang, his face flushing red. “Anyway, it wasn’t to look at beauties.”

“I didn’t.”

Tianji Zi’s smile deepened. “That is indeed true.”

He looked meaningfully at Yu Qingtang. “He was trying to find someone on the Nine Provinces Beauty Ranking.”

Yu Qingtang: “!”

He choked. “Don’t tell me...”

Tianji Zi habitually reached to stroke his beard, then remembered he was currently in his youthful appearance and did not have a beard at all, so he switched to shaking his head smugly. “A pity. Year after year, he searched, and year after year, he never found that person.”

“This brat was so indignant that he even asked me who Wen Tianxia was and what gave him the right to leave the young lady he kept thinking about off the ranking.”

Ye Chenyan’s face darkened as Tianji Zi frantically exposed all his old secrets, and he turned his head aside.

A drop of cold sweat hung from Yu Qingtang’s forehead, and his eyes darted away. “Maybe, maybe...”

“This brat even asked me what cultivation realm Wen Tianxia had. He wanted to go challenge him at his door,” Tianji Zi said, his gaze bright and sharp. He laughed loudly as he walked into Ye Chenyan’s room. “After seeing Miss Qingtang in person, I think he really does deserve a beating. How could such a beauty not make the ranking?”

He patted Ye Chenyan’s shoulder. “Later, Master will help you calculate where that brat is. You can storm his door and make him add Miss Qingtang.”

Yu Qingtang: “No, no, no, that’s not necessary!”

Ye Chenyan stood at the doorway and uncomfortably turned his head aside. “See? It’s just this kind of room. I didn’t hide anything... Hey!”

Tianji Zi had not a shred of a senior’s composure. He suddenly crouched, rolled under the bed, reached out, and swiftly tossed something toward Yu Qingtang.

Yu Qingtang flailed to catch it and hugged it to his chest. “What, what!”

This time, Ye Chenyan was truly anxious. “Don’t look!”

Tianji Zi grabbed his collar and yanked him back, urging, “Look, look!”

Yu Qingtang lowered his head. What he held was not actually anything shameful.

It was only a carved wooden doll.

It looked like...

A carved wooden doll of him.
