"The Spirit Realm, it's teeming with experts, and many cultivators there are skilled in combat! They are far more powerful than cultivators in the secular world!" Lin Yunxi said earnestly, looking at Yang Feilong.
"En?" Yang Feilong was taken aback.
"Because there are many demons and monsters in the Spirit Realm!" Lin Yunxi explained, "Most of the demons and monsters in the Spirit Realm come through spatial rifts from the Demon Realm, unlike those who are corrupted by demonic energy and transform into demons or monsters. It is said that when demons and monsters reach a certain level, they possess intelligence and are cruel and bloodthirsty. Perhaps due to the harsh conditions in the Demon Realm, those demons and monsters are very powerful! It is not easy for cultivators to kill these powerful beings, but through prolonged battles, they have all developed formidable combat prowess. Of course, this is all what I heard from my cousin."
"En," Yang Feilong nodded.
Suddenly, Lin Yunxi spoke up, "My grandfather said you've become Fang Qingxue's boyfriend?"
"Uh, that's not true." Yang Feilong chuckled awkwardly.
Lin Yunxi neither agreed nor disagreed and continued, "Why is Fang Qingxue so strong at the same level? It's because she frequently goes to the Spirit Realm to train."
Yang Feilong was not surprised by this, as he had suspected this possibility before. However, he was puzzled. Since Fang Qingxue had trained in the Spirit Realm, she should have encountered many prodigies from there. She shouldn't be so subservient to him, should she? Moreover, many cultivators in the Spirit Realm should be more powerful than her!
"In the Spirit Realm, she is also an invincible existence at her level," Lin Yunxi said slowly. "Besides, she has only occasionally gone to the Spirit Realm for cultivation in recent years. Therefore, it's normal for her to not be convinced by the cultivators of the Spirit Realm! If she had been cultivating in the Spirit Realm since childhood, it's not impossible for her to have broken through to the Xiantian realm, or even reached the Zunwu realm!"
"How do you know all this?" Yang Feilong asked, both relieved and curious.
"My cousin and my grandfather told me," Lin Yunxi replied. "My cousin cultivates in the Spirit Realm, and my grandfather works at the headquarters of the Patrol Bureau. He is quite familiar with Grandpa Tie and Grandpa Xu."
Hearing this, Yang Feilong understood everything.
With his own people everywhere, it was normal for Lin Yunxi to know these things.
"By the way, I have something to tell you," Lin Yunxi said.
"What is it?" Yang Feilong asked, curious.
"My cousin, Qiao Xi." Lin Yunxi began.
"Qiao Xi, what about her?" Yang Feilong was surprised.
"She has gone to the Spirit Realm," Lin Yunxi sighed. "After the New Year, she might not be attending Blue Sea University anymore."
"Gone to the Spirit Realm? She doesn't have any cultivation, does she? What's she going to the Spirit Realm for?" Yang Feilong was astonished. At this moment, he recalled how Lin Qiao Xi had bid him farewell a few days before the holiday, with many things she wanted to say but hesitated, ultimately saying nothing. Could it be that the matter she was contemplating then was whether to go to the Spirit Realm with him?
"Her talent and physique are extraordinary," Lin Yunxi said, looking at Yang Feilong. "Even more so than my cousin's. But she was unwilling to cultivate before, and her family couldn't force her, hoping she would come to her senses herself. However, for some reason, on New Year's Day this year, she suddenly made up her mind and said she would start cultivating after this semester. Since she's willing to cultivate, her family is naturally more than happy for her to go to the Spirit Realm!"
The Lin family, with their extraordinary background! Yang Feilong naturally wouldn't doubt this; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to send their family members to the Spirit Realm.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, the cousin I was talking about is Qiao Xi's full brother," Lin Yunxi said seriously. "Qiao Xi's father is the head of our Lin family."
Yang Feilong had not known this before. Lin Yunxi hadn't discussed it with him, and Lin Qiao Xi certainly hadn't either. However, whether Lin Qiao Xi's father was the head of the Lin family or not, it didn't seem to matter. It had nothing to do with him, did it?
But what Lin Yunxi said next made Yang Feilong freeze.
Lin Yunxi looked at Yang Feilong with a complex expression and said, "Qiao Xi, she actually likes you."
"This, I..." Yang Feilong pursed his lips, unsure of what to say for a moment. Did he not know that Lin Qiao Xi liked him? It was just that regarding Lin Qiao Xi, he only saw her as his student, or at most, a friendly acquaintance. Therefore, he had consistently ignored her repeated displays of affection. Now, he thought back to when he first descended the mountain, encountering the two sisters, Lin Yunxi and Lin Qiao Xi. He had been attracted to Lin Qiao Xi's lively and cheerful demeanor back then. It was a pity that at that time, he hadn't had any romantic thoughts about the sisters. As for now, one sister, Lin Yunxi, had become his girlfriend, while Lin Qiao Xi, perhaps due to her cousin's relationship, hadn't openly expressed her feelings. Yang Feilong's indifference might have hurt Lin Qiao Xi's heart, even leading her to decide to embark on the path of cultivation and enter the Spirit Realm. His coldness could not be unrelated to this! For a moment, Yang Feilong fell silent, not knowing how to respond to Lin Yunxi's words.
"Qiao Xi didn't actually want me to tell you, but I thought you should know all this. She chose the path of cultivation and going to the Spirit Realm because she didn't want the gap between her and you to be too large," Lin Yunxi added.
Yang Feilong showed a wry smile. Faced with a girl who liked him, what could he say?
"Perhaps, after she enters the Spirit Realm and meets the outstanding cultivators there, she will forget me!" Yang Feilong sighed after a long pause.
Hearing Yang Feilong's words, Lin Yunxi shook her head and said, "When a girl likes someone, how can it change easily? Moreover, my cousin's temperament, while appearing gentle, is actually very opinionated and determined. Her aptitude back then was one in ten thousand! Much superior to my cousin's. But when faced with her family's pressure, she would rather be beaten to death than cultivate. Her family had no choice but to comply. Years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now that she has decided to cultivate, her family is overjoyed, even paying a significant price to have her cultivate directly in the Spirit Realm. With her talent, even if she started late, cultivating in the Spirit Realm, coupled with her family's efforts to protect her, it might not be long before she surpasses me."
"Your aptitude is also not weak, otherwise, you wouldn't have broken through from just entering the Xuwu realm to the Lingwu realm in such a short period of more than half a year!" Yang Feilong said. "Why was your cultivation so slow before?"
"Because my aptitude is average, and also..." Lin Yunxi pursed her lips, a flicker of sadness in her eyes, and shook her head. "Never mind, let's not talk about it."
"En?" Yang Feilong noticed Lin Yunxi's expression seemed off and earnestly pressed, "What's wrong? We're a couple now, what can't you tell me?"
"I am born to a concubine," Lin Yunxi said with great dejection.
Yang Feilong was stunned.
