Chapter 47: Bibi Dong Arrives, Her Hostility Toward Ye Qingxian
After successfully refining the Soul Ascension Pill, during the following period, Yun Yuan continuously exchanged insights on the path of alchemy with Ye Zhiyun, striving to achieve greater progress in this field.
Unlike the previous three months, Yun Yuan was now communicating with Ye Zhiyun as a fellow practitioner rather than as a learner.
As time passed, Ye Zhiyun's alchemy level gradually began to fall behind Yun Yuan's. At first, she could still rely on her own knowledge to discuss and exchange ideas with him.
But the further it went, the more she realized she was struggling to keep up. When discussing alchemy, she could no longer keep up with Yun Yuan's pace.
This left Ye Zhiyun sighing inwardly. She was the teacher of a peerless genius. She herself was also a genius in alchemy.
Yet, in front of Yun Yuan, she felt like an ordinary person. In just a few short months, she had been surpassed by this youthful boy before her. It sounded unbelievable, yet it was an undeniable fact.
Three months later.
Since Yun Yuan arrived at the Nine Heart Begonia Ye Family, it had already been half a year. This was the first time he had stayed away from Spirit Hall for such a long period.
During these six months, his alchemy level had risen in a straight line. It could be said that, aside from immortal herbs, Yun Yuan was confident he could refine all other medicinal herbs on the Douluo Continent into pills.
Apart from the improvement in his alchemy skills, two important people had also entered his life.
One was the teacher who taught him alchemy. Yun Yuan silently remembered the kindness of these three months. When he grew stronger in the future, he would certainly lend support to the Ye family.
Although his learning this time was a transaction between Spirit Hall and the Ye Family, Ye Zhiyun had truly taught him wholeheartedly, without holding anything back.
The other was his companion over the past six months, Ye Qingxian. Naturally, during this time, he and Ye Qingxian had become good friends.
Thinking about it, aside from the companions he grew up with in the orphanage, Ye Qingxian was the first good friend he had met in this world.
As for Bibi Dong, that was different. Bibi Dong was his beloved senior sister. In his heart, she was as important as his teacher Qian Xunji.
At the Ye Family residence, outside Yun Yuan's room.
"What? You're saying Teacher is coming to Heaven Dou City?"
Yun Yuan looked at Yue Guan with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, Holy Son. That is indeed the case. His Holiness the Pope seems to have important matters to handle here."
"However, this subordinate does not know what exactly the Pope intends to do, as the message was relayed by someone sent by His Holiness."
Yue Guan spoke slowly.
Regarding Qian Xunji's arrival in Heaven Dou City, he felt the same confusion as Yun Yuan. However, as a qualified subordinate, he would not question the reason.
"Mm, I understand."
"Looks like after some time, I can return to Spirit City with Teacher."
After learning that Qian Xunji was coming, Yun Yuan canceled his previous plan. Originally, he intended to leave the Ye Family within the next couple of days and return to Spirit City.
But now that his teacher was coming, he decided to return together with him and also see what matter his teacher intended to handle.
The next morning.
Outside Yun Yuan's room, a series of loud knocks suddenly rang out, instantly waking him from his sleep.
"Who is it?"
After waking up, Yun Yuan spoke irritably, his tone filled with dissatisfaction. At the same time, he felt puzzled.
He was a distinguished guest of the Ye family. Over the past six months, aside from Ye Zhiyun and Ye Qingxian, no one had ever approached his room.
But these knocks this morning were definitely not from either of them. Ye Zhiyun was gentle and refined; she would never do such a thing.
As for Ye Qingxian, although bright and lively, she knew her limits well, so it certainly wouldn't be her either.
With doubt in his heart, Yun Yuan got up and walked to the door, slowly opening it.
In an instant, a beautiful figure rushed directly into his arms, her head rubbing wildly against his chest.
"Junior brother, I missed you so much."
This beautiful figure was none other than Yun Yuan's senior sister, Bibi Dong.
"Senior sister, you're here."
"I missed you, too."
Looking at the beautiful girl in his arms, Yun Yuan also felt deep longing. If not for needing to learn alchemy, he would not have been separated from Bibi Dong for so long.
After the embrace, Bibi Dong had too many things she wanted to say to Yun Yuan. No one knew how she had spent these past six months in Spirit Hall.
Without Yun Yuan, those days had been truly difficult for her.
The two sat beside the bed, and Bibi Dong began chattering endlessly, talking without pause.
After more than an hour, a bright young girl walked in from outside, holding a breakfast tray in her hands.
"Xiao Yuan, this is the nutritious breakfast I prepared for you this morning. It's a new flavor."
The bright girl was Ye Qingxian. Over the past six months, she had often prepared breakfast for Yun Yuan, and today was no exception.
As soon as she entered, she hadn't yet noticed the scene inside. Seeing the door open, she assumed Yun Yuan was already awake.
But when she realized what was happening, she saw that beside Yun Yuan was a young girl about the same age as him, with a delicate and adorable face and a youthful aura.
Sitting beside the bed, when Bibi Dong saw this girl suddenly walk in, for some reason, her small hand directly wrapped around Yun Yuan's arm. Her body leaned closer to him, as if seeking a sense of security and… a show of dominance?
At the same time, the way she looked at Ye Qingxian carried a sense of vigilance and a hint of hostility.
"Junior brother, who is she?"
Bibi Dong glanced at Yun Yuan with her beautiful eyes, a worried expression appearing on her face as she asked in a slightly aggrieved tone.
Why would a beautiful girl walk into her junior brother's room, even preparing breakfast for him? Most importantly, the way this girl spoke to Yun Yuan was very intimate. She did not like it.
Seeing that Bibi Dong seemed almost jealous, Yun Yuan felt it was quite strange. That shouldn't be the case. His senior sister shouldn't even understand love.
Moreover, his relationship with Ye Qingxian was purely a friendship. He only regarded her as an older sister and a good friend.
In fact, Yun Yuan's thinking wasn't wrong. Bibi Dong indeed did not understand what love was at this point, but she did understand how important Yun Yuan was in her heart.
Deep down, Bibi Dong only wanted Yun Yuan to stay by her side, to accompany her alone. Therefore, she was especially resistant toward any other girls.
"Senior sister, this is the good older sister I met in the Ye Family, Ye Qingxian. She's very kind. The two of us are very good friends."
"During these six months, she has been my assistant in alchemy and also takes care of me in daily life."
Yun Yuan rubbed Bibi Dong's head, signaling her not to overthink.
But it would have been better if he hadn't explained. The more he spoke, the more vigilant Bibi Dong became. She had only been away for half a year, yet he had gained another "good older sister." How could she not feel worried?
In front of Yun Yuan, Ye Qingxian listened to his words, a delighted smile appearing on her face. Being acknowledged like this by Yun Yuan, for some reason, made her heart feel sweet.
