Banshee Family Training Record

Overwhelmed with emotion, she couldn't help but step forward and grab his shoulder: "Where did that snake demon go? Which way? Tell me quickly, or it might be too late!"

As she spoke, Yun Chu'an was about to reply when a furious shout suddenly rang out from the horizon: "Let him go!"

An even more violent whirlwind descended from the sky, its immense power causing everyone's expressions to change drastically. It was several times more violent than the commotion caused by the snake demon just now.

The expressions of all six people present changed drastically. The monk with the most profound cultivation looked up with a solemn expression: "Be careful, prepare for battle!"

But before he could finish speaking, a black humanoid figure, like a fleeting shadow, suddenly swept past them in the storm.

Yun Chu'an felt a blur before his eyes, and when he came to his senses, he found himself ten meters away from the junior sister of Qingyun Sect.

Behind him stood a tall, slender woman with long white hair tied in a high ponytail.

He didn't recognize her, and then, the system's voice rang in his mind: "Ding, you have met the eldest sister of the family."

Chapter 80 Eldest Sister Ye Jinglan

Miss?

A question popped into Yun Chu'an's mind: in fact, to this day, there are still three sisters in the family that he has never met.

He had never met the legendary, mysterious third sister, the second sister who was always criticized by the fourth sister, or the eldest sister who seemed to have the best relationship with the fourth sister.

Is this what's right in front of me?

Only then did he have the chance to observe the woman before him closely. Her hair was not pure white; the ends of her high ponytail, reaching her hips, had a hint of stormy blue, making her look even more dashing.

She wore a light blue silk blouse decorated with delicate gold thread patterns, over which she wore a silver leather trench coat with wide, rounded sleeves. The stand-up collar barely concealed her fair neck, but it only made her look more beautiful.

The shoulders of this trench coat appear to have been specially hardened, making them straight, rigid, and angular, rather than the rounded and smooth areas commonly seen on women, giving them a more edgy and assertive look.

Black silk gloves covered her hands, completely concealing her skin. Below, a white belt was haphazardly fastened around her waist, barely holding together a pair of black leather shorts, exposing most of her thighs, rounded knees, and shapely calves.

She was wearing a pair of black, tall leather boots with gold buttons, which clung tightly to her shapely calves. The toes of the boots were thick and sharp, so one could imagine how painful it would be to kick someone with them.

This woman looks really strong.

Yun Chuan couldn't help but have such a thought. Then, the pale blue screen that only he could see appeared, exposing all the information about this woman to him.

Eldest sister: Ye Jinglan

Gender: Female

Race: Butterfly

Life span: 299

Spiritual Root: Superior level among ordinary spiritual roots

Physique: Innate Storm True Body

Realm: Late Foundation Establishment

Cultivation Technique: Flying Yellow Chasing Heaven Battle Technique

Trust level: Indifferent

Looking at the information on her body, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Oh? This...

It does look rather unusual.

I wonder if she's capable enough to challenge her mother-in-law.

Unfortunately, she remains indifferent towards me, and it's highly unlikely she'll protect me...

His mind was racing. Ahead, Ye Jinglan had already shielded him behind her, coldly staring at the crowd in front of him: "Who are you people? Why are you capturing my junior?"

She wore a touch of pink eyeshadow at the corner of her eyes, but it didn't make her look alluring at the moment; instead, it made her appear sharp and even murderous.

The six members of the Buddhist sect and the Qingyun Sect were on high alert, some of them breaking out in a cold sweat. They had all witnessed her speed just now, and if she wanted to kill them, they feared they wouldn't have much of a chance to resist!

Yun Chu'an, not understanding her personality, quickly explained, "Elder sister, these are the benefactors who gave me the protective Buddhist light that day. They came to save me just now!"

"If it weren't for them, I probably wouldn't have made it to your place!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jinglan's expression shifted, revealing a thoughtful look: "Oh, I see."

Then, she immediately withdrew her aura, causing the storm to dissipate. Her face no longer held any hostility or murderous intent; instead, she became polite and bowed to them, saying, "I'm sorry, masters, the mountains have been quite unsettled lately. Evil spirits and demonic cultivators are rampant, making me quite nervous."

“You have saved my family. My Huai Shan family is extremely grateful. We will remember this kindness and repay it in the future if we have the opportunity.”

Her words were so impeccable that the people in front of her were left speechless. The leading monk could only respond politely, saying that these acts of kindness were merely casual gestures and did not deserve such a grand ceremony.

After he finished speaking, another wisp of smoke rose from the distance. Zhu Yunqing also arrived at the scene. Looking at everything in front of her, she was puzzled and asked what had happened.

Yun Chu'an had no choice but to repeat what he had just said, and also introduced his fourth sister to the Buddhist monks. The two sides stood on opposite sides, and at this moment, he became the mediator, the bridge between them, helping them communicate.

At this moment, the junior sister of the Qingyun Sect had calmed down and was frowning as she looked at the group of people in front of her. She wasn't afraid. Even though her cultivation level was the lowest, the magical treasures and life-saving measures she had were enough to help her get through this kind of difficulty.

Therefore, at this moment, she was the calmest, observing the three people in front of her with a flicker in her eyes, secretly pondering.

After Yun Chu'an finished explaining the whole story, she finally couldn't help but ask the same question again: "So, where did that snake demon go in the end?"

Yun Chu'an looked embarrassed and shook his head, saying, "The black smoke blotted out the sky. Its huge body went into the black smoke and then disappeared. My cultivation is too low, so I really don't know where it escaped to."

The junior sister was immediately furious, but at that moment, Qi Along, who was standing next to her, suddenly stopped crying and said, "He's definitely on the mountain in my hometown right now. He drove us out of our home and then took over the place himself!"

Upon hearing this, the girl's expression finally brightened, and she asked what place it was. The others also hurriedly asked, their faces filled with anticipation. But at this moment, the black bear remained silent, glancing at Yun Chu'an as if waiting for his command.

Only after he nodded, indicating that it was okay, did he give the address of his hometown mountain.

Upon hearing this, the group was eager to try their luck, and one of them immediately suggested, "Shall we set off now to subdue that snake demon?"

However, the three Buddhist monks exchanged glances. This had nothing to do with their mission of "investigating the Corpse-Driving Faction," and they were reluctant to get involved: "Isn't this a bit of an unnecessary complication?"

He used his focused sound technique to carefully discuss the matter, when the junior sister of the Qingyun Sect spoke up: "If we save the dragon prince, the Weihe Dragon Clan will surely be grateful to us. Then, can we ask them for help in searching for the whereabouts of the remnants of the Corpse-Driving Sect?"

"So, let's not delay any longer, let's go!"

At this point, the three people had no further objections, bid them farewell, and turned to leave.

Yun Chu'an, wanting to curry favor, glanced at his fourth sister and received an encouraging look. He then suddenly stepped forward and said to the bronze-skinned middle-aged Buddhist monk with the highest cultivation level who had also given him the protective spell, "Master, I will always remember your life-saving grace and repay you tenfold in the future."

"However, I still do not know the master's Dharma name. How should I address him if we meet in the future?"

Chapter 81 Fourth Sister's Heart Flutter

Yun Chu'an maintained his image as someone who knew how to repay kindness. Ahead, the monk paused, turned his head and looked at him again, saying, "This humble monk's Dharma name is Huijing. Our Buddhist sect does things without expecting anything in return. If Benefactor Yun wishes to repay, he only needs to uphold his kindness, do more good deeds and acts of kindness in the future, and that will be enough."

After saying this, he leaped away. The others glanced at him again, but said nothing, and quickly left to chase after the snake demon.

The group watched them leave, and only after their figures had completely disappeared did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhu Yunqing's face showed obvious relaxation, while Yun Chuan was breathing heavily. Only Ye Jinglan remained expressionless. Seeing their reactions, she couldn't help but laugh and say, "What's wrong? Did those few people scare you two like this?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunqing rolled her eyes at her and said, "That is, after all, the Qingyun Sect. Even if the Buddhist organization is loose, we still need to be wary of the Qingyun Sect's power."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the bear demons around her, and she frowned slightly before asking, "Chu'an, what exactly happened here? Caiyan's account to me was very brief, so please tell me in detail."

Yun Chu'an then recounted the entire incident, including all the details that had been deliberately omitted to avoid arousing suspicion among the Buddhist monks.

He had nothing to hide this time, since as long as the system wasn't involved, he had no reason to conceal anything from Zhu Yunqing.

After he finished telling the whole story, he took out the two golden bear gallbladders and handed them to her: "This is what Senior Qi Xiong gave me."

As he spoke, he carefully observed the spider demon's expression, anticipating some change.

Zhu Yunqing's gaze fell on the two bear gallbladders, but she remained calm and showed no sign of anything unusual: "I see. Oh, since these are for you, then keep them safe."

"If Qi Xiong tells his son to listen to you in the future, then these black bear spirits will still obey your commands and follow your actions in the future."

Yun Chu'an immediately put on a bitter face, glanced at the silly black bear Qi Along who was hanging his head and not saying a word, and then said, "Fourth Sister, please don't joke around. I am only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, while he is at the sixth level of Qi Refining. What qualifications do I have to command him?"

"Moreover, this bear gall is a treasure that even a snake demon in the late Foundation Establishment stage covets. With my cultivation level, taking it would probably only bring me trouble!"

He insisted on giving her the bear bile. Immediately, the spider demon was slightly moved, her expression hesitant, as if she had some concerns and couldn't make up her mind.

Beside her, Ye Jinglan suddenly said, "That makes sense. It's a crime to possess a treasure. Fourth Sister, why don't you keep it for now, and then have Caiyan go to the mountains to get some ingredients to refine it into a pill, and then let him take it? Wouldn't that be better?"

This arrangement was more practical and relieved Zhu Yunqing of her burden. She nodded, reached out and put away the bear gall, saying, "Then, I'll keep it for you for now."

As she spoke, her voice finally trembled slightly. As if to hide her excitement, she quickly looked at Qi Alon and said, "However, you will still be in charge of these bear-clan cultivators."

Yun Chu'an remained expressionless, glancing at the large bear, wondering just how obedient this fellow could be.

He didn't refuse much, bowed his head and clasped his hands, replying, "Yes, Fourth Sister."

"Alright, let's go back," Ye Jinglan said. As she spoke, she turned around first, transformed into a gust of wind, and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye. Clearly, she did not intend to leisurely return with them.

Zhu Yunqing slowed her pace, preparing to walk with them. Yun Chu'an glanced at the Gray Wolf King Wuwei and the Fire Knife Wolf Guangzhi, and asked, "Now that you've reclaimed your mountain, would you prefer to live here, or come back to Huai Mountain with me and squeeze into that small camp halfway up the mountain?"

Uvi was taken aback, then quickly said, "My lord, we're already your dogs now, you can't kick us out!"

His voice was somewhat urgent, which was to be expected: he was the most powerful cultivator in their entire wolf pack, but he was only a weak demon cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and he didn't even deserve to be called a demon cultivator family.

They didn't actually have a fixed mountain stronghold. In reality, they were driven away by the bear demon family, just like before, and then they would go to other places to plunder and continue to wander until they reached the next unclaimed land, where they could live in peace for a while. This was the norm for these weak wolf packs.

Because they didn't have a fixed territory, they naturally couldn't establish any family businesses, or even have a spirit-gathering stone array—of course, even if they did, they wouldn't know how to make spirit stones—so before, they lived an extremely impoverished life.

Now, ever since he joined the Huai Shan family, not to mention anything else, Yun Chu'an has been giving away spirit stones with ease. These wolf demons have almost no cultivation resources left to use. In fact, he even gave Guangzhi a thousand spirit stones at once to help him break through!

It's like someone who used to only have plain water, dry food, and pickled vegetables every day, but now they can eat fish, meat, sea cucumber, and lobster every day!

Therefore, Uvi had long ago made up his mind to stay and be a dog of the Huai Shan family, even if Yun Chu'an kicked him hard in the face with his big feet, he would not leave!

He patted his chest and declared his absolute loyalty to the Huai Shan family. Yun Chu'an was unaware of his complex inner thoughts, but seeing him so agitated all of a sudden, he was speechless and couldn't help but say, "I was just asking casually, why are you saying so much?"

"Since you don't want to stay here, then come back with us. Let's go home."

As he spoke, he walked ahead, and they went back together.

The group walked back in a grand procession. Before long, a fiery red shadow rushed towards them. When it got closer, Yun Chuan realized that it was a fiery red fox. As soon as it arrived, it transformed into human form in front of them. It was Hua Caiyan: "I'm back. Are you done?"

She was panting heavily, her clothes were a little disheveled, and she felt a little embarrassed when she saw Zhu Yunqing there: "Fourth Sister, I... Qi Qiao is very worried about Yun Chuan's safety. She has been restless and wanted to come out. It took me a lot of effort to subdue her."

She was explaining why she had been delayed for so long and hadn't returned to the scene.

Zhu Yunqing nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's all over."

As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Hua Caiyan, and suddenly said, "However, Caiyan, I'm a little curious, all you did tonight was 'send Qi Qiao home'?"

Chapter 82 Mission: "Conquering Hua Caiyan" (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Hua Caiyan froze instantly, recalling what she had done that evening, her face extremely embarrassed: "Ah, this, no, Fourth Sister, let me explain..."

She really didn't do much. The initial enemies were too weak for her to handle, and the later snake demons were too powerful for her to help.

So after thinking it over and over, she belatedly realized that she hadn't actually done anything in tonight's earth-shattering battle!

She made no contribution whatsoever!

Zhu Yunqing squinted, seemingly lost in thought, while Hua Caiyan trembled with fear, momentarily speechless.

Beside her, Yun Chu'an secretly thought that something was wrong. If her fourth sister really punished her, this vixen might suspect that she had spoken ill of her.

So he quickly said, "Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister is holding the line at the edge, creating a heavy psychological burden for the enemy..."

Zhu Yunqing ignored his words of comfort and continued, "Caiyan, as the older sister, you have to take responsibility at times like this. Sigh, I'm not saying you..."

She sighed, making Hua Caiyan feel immense pressure, as if she were on the verge of collapse, and she dared not move at all.

However, this spider demon was also skilled in this art, and knowing when to stop, she said, "Alright, you can make amends for your mistake later. Coincidentally, there are some medicinal herbs that should be found deep in the mountains. Go and search for them carefully in the coming days."

Hua Caiyan had expected to be met with a barrage of accusations and lectures from her fourth sister, but she hadn't expected to get through it so easily this time. She breathed a sigh of relief, even feeling a little smug about her good fortune. She nodded repeatedly and patted her chest, promising, "Fourth sister, just tell me, I'll definitely find it for you!"

As they continued walking, Zhu Yunqing began to state her needs. Yun Chu'an listened from the side, recalling Ye Jinglan's arrangements just now, and muttered to himself, "Fifth Sister is being manipulated by Fourth Sister."

He initially found it somewhat amusing, but before he could chuckle more than three times, he saw the vixen suddenly turn her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on him with suspicion.

"Fourth Sister, it's fine for me to go find medicinal herbs, but today, there's one thing he needs to explain clearly first!" she asked fiercely, "What exactly is this Buddha light? What kind of collusion do you have with the Buddhist community?"

She questioned him, but before Yun Chuan could explain, Zhu Yunqing was speechless: "He got it by trickery. What, if you have a problem with that, why don't you go and trick those bald monks too?"
