Chapter 565 Being vengeful is not the answer


    ??The meeting took ce in a room with an adjoined terrace that led to the garden enclosed in exterior courtyard walls.


    The garden was dimly illuminated by stonenterns, and created an intimate atmosphere.


    After the meeting came a moment to rx and for Wu Long to spend some time with his women.


    Gong Cui started ying her Zither for everyone, and low voices of light conversations between heavenly beauties with the asionalughter starteding from the room into the garden.


    Xue Bing sat where she was at the time of the dinner and then meeting after, her icy turquoise eyes looking with interest at the unfamiliar warm atmosphere.


    She could see the beauties changed seats, some approaching Wu Long for a bit to engage in a light banter, while others forming small groups.


    Wu Mengqi was the first one to practically run and leap into Wu Long''s embrace while the others giggled at her "I need to be hugged by Wu Long" disease ring up again.


    Ye Ling simply peacefully sipped her tea next to him, with a gentle smile at the antics of the sword prodigy.


    Luo Mingyu, Shen Min and Hua Ziyan formed a small group, and started whispering among themselves, asional giggles escaping to the others while Wei Lan was joined by Cao Mei.


    Cao Xiang and Sui Luxiao who have recently started getting closer were also sitting side by side, though their discussion was a bit more about business than about leisure.


    Bi Rui joined Feng Yi as the two slowly bonded over their simr upations prior to joining the Dao Family, discussing the differences between the Empire''s and the Kingdom''s army.


    Lian Zhiqiu stood up and approached Ye Ling who sat next to Wu Long, disturbing her peaceful appearance by asking her....


    "So, Ling''er, how is your progress with Dual Cultivation techniques? I still haven''t heard from you or Wu Long about it..."


    """...!"""


    A light blush touching Ye Ling''s cheeks as she looked down and away instantly caught the attention of the entire room as Wu Mengqi''s blue eyes became wide, even forgetting to rub her cheek against Wu Long as she froze, while the sound of the Zither abruptly stopped as Gong Cui made a simr face full of disbelief.


    ''The Great Seductress... is a powerhouse!!! She can make Sister Ye Ling flustered!!!''


    Was a thought shared by all the beauties while looking at the wide grin appearing on Lian Zhiqiu''s lips as Wu Long startedughing.


    After all, Ye Ling was almost universally recognized as the most unfazed and tranquil person, as well as the most powerful cultivator after Wu Long.


    And even though it was never explicitly stated, she also held a lot of influence among Wu Long''sdies, simply by the virtue of being someone respected for her wisdom and maturity and at the same time because she was the person Wu Long most relied on in times of doubt.


    "Hahaha, Master really is a menace"


    Hua Ziyan chuckled, as Luo Mingyu and Shen Min nodded with astonished faces.


    "M... Master, let''s discuss thatter. I already wanted to approach you for adviceter..."


    Ye Ling somewhat meekly spoke in a tiny voice to the satisfied Lian Zhiqiu who nodded with the words "Of course, I would never abandon my Disciple in need", while Wu Mengqi''s expression turned into a sly smile.


    "Hahaha! I finally found Sister Ling''s nemesis! I have to build good rtionship with this sexydy"


    She spoke out loud as Wu Long''sughter became uncontroble.


    "M... hahaha... Mengqi, your thoughts haha... your thoughts are leaking hahahaha!"


    He finally cautioned the beauty as she froze once more, this time under a calm and gentle gaze of Ye Ling''s blue eyes that already regained their usual tranquil appearance.


    *Trink!* *Trink!*


    At this very moment, a somewhat jumbled sound of a Zither resounded in the room, akin to someone just ying with the instrument''s strings as Gong Cui tried to make it look like she didn''t think the same and was continuing her performance.


    "Hahaha, unable to join in? Don''t worry, no matter who you speak to we all wee you as our new Sister"


    As Xue Bing''s eyes were reflecting all this, a voice reached her from the side, and as she turned she saw Wei Lan joining her with a dish filled with snacks.


    Xue Bing''s eyes then darted to where she sat before and she saw Cao Mei already join her mother and Sui Luxiao, the trio vigorously debating something.


    "Thank you, though I am already full from dinner so-..."


    Xue Bing then made a polite smile while turning to the side, only to see Wei Lan''s face as she was chewing on the snack she brought.


    "Mm? You want some?"


    Wei Lan raised her eyebrows, extending the te.


    "Pfft.. hehehe"


    The icy beauty suddenly broke into a giggle, as she elegantly covered her mouth with her hand, while Wei Lan''s eyes filled with confusion.


    "What?"


    "It''s nothing just... hehehe"


    Wu Long''s eyes reflected the two as a smile appeared on his face.


    "Hmm? Honey, what lecherous thought you came up with this time?"


    "Leche... I was having a wholesome moment!"


    Wu Mengqi asked with a sly smile while still glued to him, prompting a slightly exasperated response from him.


    "Ah~ of course, I beli~eve you! Mr. God of Pleasure~"


    Wu Mengqi''s eyebrows moved up and down a few times as she spoke, Wu Long''s eyes narrowing.


    ''Heh, looks like someone needs a reminder why I might be called that. Let''s see who''s going to be so sassyter''


    His thought shing in his eyes made goosebumps run through the beauty who suddenly made a smile of enlightened peaceful person.


    "Being vengeful is not an answer, Honey. We can all live peacefully, letting mistakes of the past go~"


    However, her enlightened speech was unable to erase a meaningful smile from his face as a bead of sweat started going down the side of her face.


    As time approached deep night, this small gathering gradually came to its end. Xue Bing retreated back to seclusion to try and gain more control over her physique, while Wu Long and his women closed the doors of the private wing of the cultivation facility.


    They did not cultivate for thest couple of months and were focused on both restructuring their cultivation with the rich Spiritual Qi from the Secret Realm, raising their cultivation as high as possible, as well as cultivating the method of Yin Qi and Yin Root refinement.


    All this time they were consuming specially prepared Alchemy Pills and receiving the Yin attribute energy of Demonic Cores from Wu Long through their bonds in preparation for a long cultivation session.


    Thus, as the doors of the cultivation facility closed, the mansion fell into silence one more time.
