Chapter 26: Beitang Xiaoyang

"So, Sister-in-law is also a Space Mage, just like Big Brother?"

Tian Chenyun asked Qing Mei, sounding as if he were unsure.

"Mm."

Qing Mei remained calm.

"Alright... You are both stronger than me, sigh."

Tian Chenyun said with regret.

"Stronger? You know as well as I do that I am the Qing family's most useless Fifth Miss, how could I be strong? By the way, Xiao Yun, what rank are you?"

Qing Mei forcibly held Yan Lie back, otherwise, he would have lunged forward to bite Tian Chenyun twice.

"Me? I'm only seventh rank."

Tian Chenyun said regretfully.

Sev... seventh rank? And he says "only"? Heaven is truly unfair. It seems that her so-called father, who is over 40 years old, is only seventh rank, and Tian Chenyun is only 17. Qing Mei sighed in her heart.

But she didn't stop to think that she only started practicing at 15, and in two days! In just two days, she reached the third rank; her promotion speed was anything but ordinary.

After much effort, Qing Mei managed to calm Yan Lie down, and the meal was served—it was very sumptuous. Qing Mei let Yan Lie go to play by himself and began to fill her stomach. Once the three of them were full, Qing Mei suddenly remembered that she had come out without realizing it, and Ning'er didn't know...

"Nan Qingcheng, Ning'er..."

Qing Mei's words were interrupted by Nan Qingcheng before she could finish.

"I have already sent someone to tell Ning'er that you have come out, and I have also secretly arranged for her protection. Do not worry."

Qing Mei was speechless for a moment; it turned out he had already arranged these things before she even thought of them.

"Mm, alright. That... could you teach me the uses of a Space Mage?"

Qing Mei suddenly wanted to learn what a Space Mage could do, and it just so happened that such a powerful teacher was right in front of her.

"Fine, let's go."

Nan Qingcheng agreed without a second thought.

The two of them went out together.

"Hey, hey! Big Brother, Sister-in-law, are you just going to leave me behind like this?"

Tian Chenyun shouted from behind.

"Xiao Yun, go play with Yan Lie yourself."

Qing Mei's voice drifted from afar, leaving Tian Chenyun and Yan Lie in the room staring at each other.

In Tian Chenyun's room.

"Second Brother! You're here." Tian Chenyun looked at the handsome Bei Tang Xiaoyang before him with a face full of joy.

His eyes, which seemed to hold the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, were free of any impurities—clear yet bottomless. His skin was as crystalline as jade, and his long, deep black hair hung over his shoulders, shimmering with a faint luster. Dressed in black, his figure appeared tall and elegant; standing there, he looked indescribably ethereal, as if he were a celestial being.

"Mm." Bei Tang Xiaoyang looked at Tian Chenyun with a smile.

Because Tian Chenyun felt that Nan Qingcheng and Qing Mei were always clinging to each other and ignoring him, he was very bored. So, he summoned a White Cloud Pigeon to send a message to Bei Tang Xiaoyang, asking him to come along to the Seven Profound Forest. It just so happened that Bei Tang Xiaoyang was not far from Gushi City, so he rushed over.

"Second Brother... we have a sister-in-law now." Tian Chenyun said excitedly, holding a teacup.

"What? Big Brother actually has a woman?" Bei Tang Xiaoyang found it hard to believe. How could Big Brother ever let a woman get close to him?

"It's true, and Sister-in-law is very beautiful. After interacting with her, I feel she is quite a good person too. I can see that Big Brother is genuinely fond of her."

"Let's go, let's take a look." Bei Tang Xiaoyang said, preparing to pull Tian Chenyun out.

"No, wait until tomorrow. Big Brother is currently teaching Sister-in-law space skills." Tian Chenyun held Bei Tang Xiaoyang back.

"Space? That woman is also a Space Mage?" Bei Tang Xiaoyang looked at Tian Chenyun in shock. Only the three of them knew that Nan Qingcheng was a Space Mage; he hadn't expected that the woman Tian Chenyun called "Sister-in-law" would also be one.

"Yes, and she even has the Purple Flame Ring. Let me tell you, Sister-in-law is that so-called useless Fifth Miss of the Qing family."

Tian Chenyun also began to gossip.

"The Purple Flame Ring? That very beautiful but useless Fifth Miss?" Bei Tang Xiaoyang became increasingly interested in Qing Mei. The legendary useless Fifth Miss was actually a Space Mage, and she possessed the Purple Flame Ring.

It had to be said that Qing Mei's reputation was truly vast; almost everyone who mentioned the Qing family's Fifth Miss knew she was a very beautiful girl with no spiritual power.

"Yeah, yeah, let's see tomorrow." Tian Chenyun pulled Bei Tang Xiaoyang down to sit on a stool, then straddled his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and asked affectionately.

"Xiaoyang... I've missed you so much these past few days..."

Bei Tang Xiaoyang rubbed Tian Chenyun's head. "Silly, I missed you too..."
