Most of the time, Yin-Yang school was the number one school in the world.
However, ever since Dongfang Bingling and Leng Qingchen went missing, Yin-Yang school had lost its reputation and kept an unusually low profile.
During the first Heaven Dao Union Conference, during the crusade against Yang Dingtian, the Yin Yang Sect's representative, Leng Ao, immediately announced his abstention and left.
During the second Tiandō League Assembly hosted by Zhu Qingzhu, Yin-Yang school's representative abstained from participating in the Tiandō League because of Yang Dingtian's crimes.
As the number one school in the world, not only did they not uphold justice, they abstained from participating in the Tiandō League Assembly again and again.
This was a fatal blow to Yin-Yang school's reputation.
Therefore, it was extremely unusual for them to keep such a low profile.
...
Yin-Yang school was located in Eastern Cloud State. It was considered a large island and was part of the East Continent.
The entire martial arts civilization in the Chaotic Continent was divided into three parts.
The East Continent, the Middle Continent, and the West Continent (now known as the West Continent). Among the three continents, the East Continent was the smallest but had the highest status.
Compared to the Middle Continent and the West Continent, the East Continent was much more powerful.
There were not many cities, armies, dukes, or castles in the East Continent.
However, there was one thing that was abundant in the East Continent: the number of martial artists.
The population of the East Continent was less than one-third of that of the Middle Continent. There were also fewer Three Sects, Nine Clans, and Twenty-Seven Branches.
However, the number of martial artists was more than twice that of the Middle Continent.
Therefore, the East Continent was a relatively pure martial arts continent.
Yin-Yang school was undoubtedly the holy land of martial arts.
Eastern Cloud State was about thirty to forty thousand miles away from the Middle Continent. The entire journey was covered by the vast ocean.
Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Minmie rode the Demon Eagle for two days and two nights before arriving at Eastern Cloud State.
...
However, Yang Dingtian was the only one who landed in Eastern Cloud State.
His master, Dongfang Minmie, had other plans!
It had been a full three years since Yang Dingtian had last set foot on the Central State.
Yang Dingtian walked on the quaint streets of Eastern Cloud Prefecture, still unable to calm down.
Three years ago, when he set foot on this land, his heart was filled with immaturity, fantasy, uneasiness, and of course, anticipation.
Initially, he thought that he would not be able to step foot on this land until his battle with Dongfang Bingling. He did not expect that he would have to come to Yin-Yang school before his battle with Dongfang Bingling.
Eastern Cloud State was not a very big city. Compared with the big cities in Zhongzhou State and even the West Continent, it was much more delicate and beautiful, and also much simpler.
Walking on the streets here would also be much more peaceful.
Walking on the mountain path of the Immeasurable Mountain, even though the Yin Yang Sect had kept a low profile, it was still the holy land of martial arts.
Therefore, there was still an endless stream of visitors to Yin-Yang school.
The wide stone path leading up the mountain had already become smooth.
Yang Dingtian strolled around by himself.
Suddenly, the people around him could not help but look at him curiously. Then, all of them secretly looked at Yang Dingtian.
Thanks to Zhu Qingzhu's arrest warrant, almost the entire world knew about Yang Dingtian.
Therefore, almost everyone on the road felt that the person in front of them really resembled Yang Dingtian.
However, no one could be sure that it was Yang Dingtian. After all, it was a portrait, not a photograph.
Moreover, most people thought so. Yang Dingtian was a big shot now. He was the ruler of the West Continent, one of the most powerful people in the world.
That extravagance must be incomparably grand. It must be clear water splashing on the streets, and tens of thousands of people opening the way for him.
The person in front of them was wearing ordinary clothes, and he did not even have a mount. How could he be Yang Dingtian?
Nevertheless, many people could not help but look at Yang Dingtian and point at him.
He walked to the front gate of Yin-Yang school.
It was a square in the middle of the mountain. It was carved out of the ground.
At that moment, there were still hundreds of martial artists lining up in a long line, hoping to enter the Yin-Yang school. They could either worship or learn martial arts.
Of course, less than one percent of them could actually enter the Yin-Yang school.
When Yang Dingtian walked to the front gate, the martial artists in the line immediately shouted, "Line up! Line up! You're not allowed to cut in line!"
The Yin-Yang school disciple guarding the gate also said coldly, "You're not allowed to cut in line!
You have no manners at all. You can leave now. Don't even think about entering the Yin-Yang school for the rest of your life! "
Yang Dingtian took out a Fire Jade token and said, "Please go in and report that Yang Dingtian of the West Continent has come to visit!"
Instantly, there was a dead silence in the area.
Almost instantly, all eyes were fixed on Yang Dingtian.
Everyone had a look of utter disbelief on their faces.
To everyone present, Yang Dingtian was already a legendary figure. He was even a legend among legends.
The most powerful figure they had ever seen in their lives did not even have a seat in front of Yang Dingtian.
Even the most powerful figure they could come into contact with did not even have the qualifications to meet Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian was definitely approachable. Whether it was with the Black Blood Cavalry, the Demon Dragon Army, or the Demon Vulture Army, they would often eat together and fight together.
Yang Dingtian even set off fireworks with the ordinary citizens of Cloud Sky City, walked and chatted with them.
However, his duty meant that he was destined to be separated from the majority of the people in this world.
And now, he had appeared before everyone, alive and well.
Although this feeling was not as exaggerated as an emperor visiting incognito, it was not far from it.
Of course, Yang Dingtian could have directly landed in the Yin-Yang school without anyone knowing.
However, after discussing with Dongfang Minmie, they still decided to use this method to enter the Yin-Yang school.
This was because they had already received news that the second-in-command of the Black Sky Sect, Zhu Qingzhu's martial uncle, and Zhu Hongyu had already come to the Yin-Yang school a few hours ago.
After that disciple received Yang Dingtian's command token, his entire body was trembling. He couldn't even hold onto the command token. He quickly grabbed it with both hands and spoke with a trembling voice, "Please, please wait for a moment … I, I, I will go and report this!"
Then, he took Yang Dingtian's token and ran in as fast as he could.
He could not even speak clearly and did not know how to salute. After hearing Yang Dingtian's name, he only felt his brain explode. Then, he did not know anything else. He could only instinctively grab the token, turn around, and run in to report.
"You, you are really City Lord Yang Dingtian?" Next to him, a teenager plucked up his courage and asked.
"Yes," Yang Dingtian replied.
Instantly, the hundreds of disciples in front of the Yin-Yang school's mountain gate took a few dozen steps back. When they were a few dozen meters away from Yang Dingtian, they all knelt down.
"Greetings, City Lord Yang Dingtian."
"Greetings, Sect Leader Yang Dingtian!"
"Greetings, Guild Leader Yang Dingtian!"
There were really all kinds of titles. Those who called Yang Dingtian "Guild Leader" were called because Yang Dingtian had established the Council of Light, so Yang Dingtian had become the Guild Leader.
Of course, the reason why they knelt down and saluted was not because they had anything to ask of Yang Dingtian.
In fact, these people were either worshiping the Yin-Yang school or learning from a master, so they did not have anything to ask of Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian's status was too high, and they wouldn't be able to ask Yang Dingtian for help with their matters.
They knelt down and saluted because they had seen a legendary figure, the leader of the Tiandō League. It was an instinctive reaction.
Of course, Yang Dingtian's reputation in the Chaotic Realm was very polarized. Some people admired him greatly, while others disliked him greatly. After all, Zhu Qingzhu and the Evil ways had been defaming Yang Dingtian for a long time, and the Yin-Yang school's attitude toward Yang Dingtian was also very cold.
However, even those who were extremely opposed to Yang Dingtian would lose their stance when they saw Yang Dingtian.
This was because almost all of the people present were low-level martial artists. To them, having a stance was too extravagant.
However, their kneeling made Yang Dingtian a little flustered. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Get up, get up. There's no need for this, there's no need for this!"
After the hundreds of low-level martial artists got up, both sides fell into silence. They only stared at Yang Dingtian with burning eyes, but they did not know what to say.
They did not have the guts to chat and greet him directly, or to directly talk about their views on the Council of Light.
Thus, both sides were in a deadlock.
Of course, many people wanted to say that they admired Yang Dingtian, but they found that they could not say it.
Finally, Leng Ao led people over and eased Yang Dingtian's awkwardness.
"Yin-Yang school's Leng Ao greets City Lord Yang." Leng Ao cupped his hands and saluted.
Yang Dingtian bowed and said, "Yang Dingtian greets Senior Brother Leng!"
"City Lord Yang, please come in," Leng Ao said.
"Please!" Yang Dingtian said.
Then, Leng Ao led Yang Dingtian into the Yin-Yang school.
After walking for a long time, the low-level martial artists present came to their senses. Someone could not help but say, "Sect Leader Yang is here, but the Yin-Yang school's leader is not here. At the very least, all the members of the Yin-Yang school's Elder Council should come out to welcome him.
It's not appropriate to send Lord Leng Ao alone to welcome him! "
Instantly, everyone present nodded.
It was indeed not appropriate!
Even if Yang Dingtian was only the leader of the entire West Continent, he was already on equal footing with Zhu Qingzhu and the Yin-Yang school's leader.
Not to mention, Yang Dingtian was also the leader of the Hidden Sect. He was already the top leader of the entire Tiandō League.
Therefore, regardless of his status, the Yin-Yang school's leader was not here, and the entire Yin-Yang school should come out to welcome him. It was in accordance with etiquette.
Now, only Leng Ao was sent out to welcome him. This was considered inferior because Leng Ao was not even a member of the Elder Council.
Of course, if Yang Dingtian was only the Lord of Cloud Sky City, then there was nothing wrong with sending Leng Ao.
This was because the Yin-Yang school viewed Cloud Sky City as a traitor. Therefore, when Ximen Wuya came personally back then, only an ordinary Elder of the Yin-Yang school came out to welcome him.
Although Yang Dingtian was the Lord of Cloud Sky City, he was one generation younger than Ximen Wuya. Therefore, Leng Ao was sent out to welcome him.
Therefore, the Yin-Yang school's attitude right now was to treat Yang Dingtian as the Lord of Cloud Sky City.
…
After entering the Yin-Yang school, only Leng Ao received him. Moreover, it was in the side hall. The main hall should be receiving Black Sky Sect's Grand Elder Ning Yixing and Zhu Hongyu.
"Lord Yang, why have you come to my Yin-Yang school?" Leng Ao went straight to the point.
"I want to pay a visit to Mistress first, then we can talk about business," Yang Dingtian said.
Leng Ao nodded and said, "Please follow me."
Then, Leng Ao brought Yang Dingtian to Mistress's Little Paradise.
Yin-Yang school was on the upper half of Vast Immeasurable Mountain, so it was covered in white snow everywhere.
Only Mistress's Little Paradise was nourished by hot springs and had special soil. Therefore, flowers bloomed all year round, just like spring.
When they arrived at the entrance of Little Paradise, the door was closed. The entire wall was covered with vines and grass, looking very desolate.
It was obvious that the door had not been opened for a very long time.
Originally, Little Paradise was like a fairyland, full of birds and fragrant flowers.
Now, it was desolate and bleak.
Moreover, Little Paradise was quite far from Yin-Yang school. It was located in a remote area of Vast Immeasurable Mountain.
Leng Ao did not explain. Ever since Yang Dingtian was chased out and injured by Dongfang Bingling, Mistress had saved Yang Dingtian. However, she was unwilling to forgive Dongfang Bingling. Therefore, after returning, she immediately closed the door and never opened it again.
She said that she would only open the door to Little Paradise if Yang Dingtian returned to Yin-Yang school and became the Yin-Yang school's principal to pick her up.
Otherwise, she would not leave Little Paradise until she died of old age.
Three years ago, Yang Dingtian was humiliated and chased out of Yin-Yang school. He was beaten to the brink of death.
Not only could Mistress not forgive Dongfang Bingling, but she also could not forgive herself.
She felt that she was not capable enough to fulfill her husband's request and protect Yang Dingtian.
"Madam, Leng Ao requests to see you," Leng Ao said loudly.
"No, please leave."
A woman's voice came from inside. "We will mind our own business. Our Little Paradise will not step into Yin-Yang school. I hope you will not disturb our peace!"
This was the voice of Mistress's maid. Yang Dingtian had seen this girl before. Her name seemed to be Hong Xiu.
Leng Ao did not speak again. Instead, he looked at Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian suppressed his excitement and tried hard not to let his voice tremble. He said, "Disciple Yang Dingtian is here to greet Mistress!"
Yang Dingtian's voice was not loud, but it was enough to spread throughout Little Paradise.
Inside the high wall, it suddenly became quiet.
Then, a series of footsteps ran over quickly. As the footsteps ran, the sound of crying could be heard.
A few minutes later, the door of the courtyard, which had been sealed for a long time, was opened. The vines and grass on the door were torn off.
Behind the door, Mistress's haggard and beautiful face was full of tears. She looked at Yang Dingtian in disbelief.
She was full of extreme surprise and surprise.
Yang Dingtian's whole body trembled. His eyes instantly turned red. His eyes suddenly became hot. Then, he immediately went forward and knelt down.
But before he knelt down, he was directly held in Mistress's arms.
"Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian … My child, Mother will never be able to see you again … I, I miss you all the time!" The Master's wife hugged Yang Dingtian with all her might and cried loudly.
Then, Mistress desperately wanted to speak, but she could not speak at all. She could only cry and cry.
In the past few years, she had been locked in Little Paradise. She had not even seen Dongfang Bingling. She was completely isolated from the world.
In fact, she and Yang Dingtian had only known each other for less than two days.
But in Yang Dingtian's heart, she was the closest family member in the world.
And for Mistress, in the past three years, guilt, responsibility, and worry had all turned into deep longing.
Because of the blame for Dongfang Bingling, and because Dongfang Bingling was too cold and independent, she transferred all the love of her children to Yang Dingtian.
Therefore, in her heart, Yang Dingtian was already her son, not just her husband's disciple.
After crying for a quarter of an hour, Yang Dingtian could only rub her back hard and inject Qi into her to prevent her crying from hurting her body.
Mistress hugged him tightly and cried for a while. Then, she let go and looked at Yang Dingtian's face. She was worried that everything in front of her was not real.
After seeing clearly, she hugged Yang Dingtian and cried bitterly.
"Madam, you can't cry anymore. Let the young master come home quickly." Hong Xiu stepped forward and said softly.
"Yes, yes!" Mistress wiped away her tears and said gently to Yang Dingtian, "Little Tian, have you eaten?"
"Not yet." Yang Dingtian said.
"Then hurry up. Mistress will cook for you."
She had just called herself Mistress, but now she called herself Mistress again. Then, she held Yang Dingtian's hand tightly and walked into Little Paradise.
Hong Xiu walked to Leng Ao and said coldly, "Go back to where you came from. Don't stand here."
Leng Ao bowed to Mistress and said, "Mistress, Leng Ao will take his leave!"
Mistress acted as if she didn't hear it. She held Yang Dingtian's hand and walked inside.
After Hong Xiu came in, she slammed the door of the courtyard again and isolated them from the outside world.
…
After arriving at Little Paradise, it was still as warm as spring.
However, it was no longer blooming.
Originally, there were flowers and gardens everywhere.
Now, there were vegetable fields and fields everywhere.
The crops in the fields, the vegetables and fruits in the fields, and the chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep on the grass.
Although Little Paradise was not as blooming as before, it was still Little Paradise. It had a completely different kind of beauty.
Obviously, in the past three years, Mistress and the entire Yin-Yang school had been in a state of rupture. She was self-sufficient in food, vegetables, and fruits, and was not willing to accept the Yin-Yang school's money.
There were about a dozen girls in Little Paradise.
These few acres of fields and dozens of rows of vegetable fields were all controlled by these girls. They were really not simple.
The mirror-like hot spring pool was now filled with green because it was full of aquatic plants.
There were all kinds of fish in the aquatic plants.
Yang Dingtian couldn't take his eyes off them, while Hong Xiu proudly observed Yang Dingtian's eyes and said, "Young Master, you're amazing, right?"
"Amazing." Yang Dingtian gave her a thumbs-up.
After entering the pavilion for ten years, white silk was hung everywhere. It was actually freshly woven. The corners outside were also full of dried meat and dried fish.
After entering the pavilion, Mistress finally let go of Yang Dingtian's hand. She put on an apron and walked into the kitchen, saying, "Xiaotian, wait for a while. I'll cook for you."
"Okay." Yang Dingtian smiled and followed her into the kitchen.
Mistress was cooking with a smile. Hong Xiu had another maid who was in charge of the fire and cutting the vegetables. There were also assistants.
Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian stood at the side and watched.
Mistress's movements were very skillful. Her smile and frown were full of infinite gentleness.
She was the most gentle and beautiful woman in the world, as if she had endless maternal love.
However, Dongfang Bingling was cold and independent, so her maternal love could not be released at all.
Mistress cooked three vegetarian dishes, three meat dishes, and a soup.
Then, the three of them sat around the table to eat.
Mistress's cooking was really good. It looked, smelled, and tasted good. Yang Dingtian ate heartily and directly added four bowls of rice.
Mistress put down the bowl after eating one bowl. Then, she happily supported her chin and watched Yang Dingtian eat.
At first, she was still smiling. Later, when she saw Yang Dingtian eat four big bowls of rice in a row, her expression suddenly changed. Her eyes turned red and tears were about to flow out again.
Because, she suddenly thought of the way Yang Dingtian ate. Was it because he had a hard life outside and could not even fill his stomach?
Then she saw Yang Dingtian's face was full of hardships and his palms were rough. Compared to three years ago, he seemed to be ten years older at this time.
Mistress suddenly felt sad and almost couldn't help but cry again.
Yang Dingtian saw and hurriedly said, "Mistress, I'm too busy. I usually don't have time to eat.
And Mistress's cooking is too delicious, so I ate so much. "
"Okay."
Mistress said, "Then stay here from now on. At most, Mistress will ask someone to let you stay in Yin-Yang school and not let you suffer outside."
Yang Dingtian did not know where to start. He said, "I, I'm fine. I didn't suffer."
"You must have suffered in Cloud Sky City. Senior Brother Ximen is a good person, but he was injured because of you. Cloud Sky City must be hostile to you.
If Senior Brother Ximen is not here, your life will be even more difficult, "Mistress said.
Mistress had indeed been completely isolated from the world for the past three years.
"Young Master, did you see Miss when you came to Yin-Yang school this time?" Hong Xiu said, "She, she didn't come with you to see Madam. That's too much!"
"Hong Xiu, don't talk about her," Mistress said coldly. "I will never forgive her. I will treat it as if I don't have a daughter!
From now on, I only have a son, no daughter! "
Speaking of Dongfang Bingling, Yang Dingtian's heart suddenly felt bitter.
Mistress did not even know that Dongfang Bingling was in trouble.
For a moment, Yang Dingtian really did not know where to start.
Seeing Yang Dingtian put down his chopsticks, Mistress reached out and held Yang Dingtian's hand. She said softly, "Little Tian, a girl like Bingling is not worthy of your love. She will not be a good wife.
My Hong Xiu is ten times better than her. She is gentle, virtuous, beautiful, and generous. Although she is three years older than you, she will definitely dote on you.
Mistress has made the decision to betroth her to you. "
Suddenly, Hong Xiu's face turned red. She was at a loss and said, "Madam, what, what are you saying?
I, I am just a servant. How can I be worthy of Young Master? "
"You are not a servant. You are my adopted daughter," Mistress said.
"I can't afford to have a daughter like Dongfang Bingling, so I don't want her anymore. You are my daughter, not her!" She said.
Every time she mentioned Dongfang Bingling, Mistress's voice was full of pain and unforgiveness.
"Mistress …" Yang Dingtian thought for a while and said, "Don't, don't blame Bingling. Although she is arrogant and distant, she is a good girl."
"Don't speak for her. I will never forgive what she has done to you," Mistress said firmly.
"Actually, I, Bingling and I have already gone through the wedding ceremony." Yang Dingtian said.
In the end, Yang Dingtian chose to start with this matter.
Mistress was stunned. She looked at Yang Dingtian in disbelief and said, "You, you and Bingling are married?
Where?
Why didn't I know? "
