Wu Long was showing the ladies around since most of them saw the sect for the first time.

“Th-this is a D-Dual Cultivation Sect?!?!”

Gong Liwei asked with bewilderment when Wu Long gave a short introduction of the Yin Yang Unity Palace.

“Yes” 𝘪𝓇𝑎.

He nodded with a smile as her face became red while she started looking left and right, realizing that all the people she saw were Dual Cultivators.

“Sister, what is Dual Cultivation?”

Gong Cui curiously looked at her older sister who lost speech, not entirely sure if she could explain it to her.

“Um, Dual Cultivation is…”

Luo Mingyu saw the puzzlement in the green eyes of the beauty and decided to help as she whispered to Gong Cui in the ear. The younger Gong sister became slightly red, then redder and then as red as a tomato as her eyes widened.

“Eh? Then…”

“Participation is entirely voluntary, most people would not join this sect if they did not intend to participate which is why the absolute majority of the sect are active Dual Cultivators, but Ye Ling did not intend to cultivate and Ziyan did not until she found a suitable partner so as you can see there is absolutely no pressure to do so”

Wu Long smiled and both sisters sighed with relief. Though the younger sister looked at Wu Long with a slightly different feeling mixed in as her cheeks were still rosy.

As they went through the sect, Wu Long acted as their guide, showing them around. They attracted gazes from all around but no one was insane enough to approach them and try to mix in the group.

“Are you going away soon?”

Gong Liwei asked him while the others looked around curiously.

“Yes, I need to go to the Imperial Capital soon”

He smiled as she nodded with a pondering look.

“I still haven’t thanked you for everything you have done for us”

“You did, several times”

“Those are just words. I wish there was something we can do for you”

“There are many ways in which you can help me, one of which is keeping my Dao Family company as you do now.

Fairy Cui’s music is also incredible, it can even improve the efficiency of meditative cultivation as well as help Mingyu with the contemplation of the Dao.

You may think that you have not contributed as much but I doubt that your little sister would be nearly as happy and cheerful if you were not around. Not to mention that you just did not find where your talent lies”

Wu Long shrugged his shoulders as they walked and Gong Liwei turned to look at him with surprised eyes. It was the first time he answered without teasing and she suddenly understood that he sensed her own insecurity.

“Thank you”

She lowered her gaze and silently said to which he just nodded with a smile as Gong Cui ran up to him asking about the next area of the sect they visited.

“Wu Long, I… want to visit my parents and Sister Feng Yi while you visit the capital, I will return to the sect with you when you arrive there after your trip”

Luo Mingyu approached him after some time and he smiled as he gently caressed her cheek.

“Of course, but I will probably ask Ling’er to accompany you”

“Um”

“Besides, it seems your friend wants to accompany you too”

He then smiled and as she widened her eyes, she turned to see Shen Min smiling at her.

‘Hehe, though Min’er probably has an ulterior motive since she wants to hunt down those dregs she let go the last time… hmm, it may be a little risky to let her go to the Tingren Kingdom on her own though”

He thought as he came closer to her.

“Min’er, why don’t you stay in the Fantian Kingdom with others and then we can go on the hunt together once I arrive?”

He said and she slightly widened her eyes as one of them turned darker.

“But didn’t you let me stay before?”

“Hmm, I feel that the clouds are becoming heavier above the continent. I sent out Old Yen to gather some intel for me, so I will know for sure when he contacts me, but I have a premonition that the turmoil is drawing closer. Though there is still some time before the main action starts, the undercurrents will definitely become more troublesome”

Wu Long said as he looked toward the horizon. The autumn wind flapped the hems of his robes backward, and the clouds that were gathering on the horizon were approaching carried by that wind, indicating that the evening would be rainy.

Old Yen was already actively traveling the continent, gathering information for Wu Long. The concealment and movement techniques were actually the focus of the scrolls Wu Long gave him, so even if he did meet a dangerous foe he could not beat, Wu Long was certain that he could run.

“Okay then, I truly wanted to accompany Mingyu anyway. I have a feeling Ziyan will join us too”

She nodded and he smiled, placing a kiss on her lips.

“Hmm, if Mingyu, Shen Min and Ziyan are going with Sister Ling, are the rest of us staying here?”

Wu Mengqi asked as she came closer.

“If you want you can travel to the Imperial Capital with me, though I imagine Lan’er would like to get accustomed to her new sect”

Wu Long chuckled and Wei Lan smiled as she truly wanted to get more comfortable with this sect. Being a Grand Elder in a large and old sect before, she saw many ways in which it could be improved, and wanted to get a little more familiar with it. Though the main reason she had the thought of improving the sect was because she heard a certain sentiment in Wu Long’s ‘we are home’ when they came here.

Since Wu Long viewed this sect as ‘home’, it became a precious place to her as well, since the ‘we’ in his phrase meant that this was their home.

“Though I would advise to make connections in the couples department”

Wu Long then added in a slightly lower voice as Wei Lan slightly widened her eyes and then nodded, understanding as she also noticed the slightly strange atmosphere in the sect. With Wu Long’s words it became apparent that it was not her imagination, and that the source of her strange feeling were the other department, the mixers, though she did not yet know the exact circumstances of the strangeness.

She made a note to herself to ask Wu Long when they were in a more private setting.

“Um, I would also stay and help sister Wei Lan”

“Me too, I have my ship nearby, so I want to see if I can slowly integrate”

Cao Mei and Cao Xiang nodded as well while Wu Mengqi clung to Wu Long’s forearm.

“Hmm, I will follow honey. I have not received enough skinship to endure separation. What if my ‘I need to be hugged by Wu Long’ disease flares up again while you’re not around?”

A laughter resounded as the beauties looked at Wu Mengqi who rubbed her cheek on Wu Long’s forearm with a blissful smile.
