Fairy, wait a minute, let me explain.

Chapter 6: How did we grow up so fast?

The last rays of the sunset on the horizon carried a cool evening breeze as Wei Wuxian opened his eyes again and found himself standing on a riverbank.

Just a few dozen meters from the official road, looking south, an ancient capital lies on the land, its city walls like ribbons.

"This should be Phoenix City, the former capital of the Great Wei Dynasty."

The reason for this certainty is that the memories of Wei Wuxian's predecessor contained a geomantic map of the present-day Great Wei Dynasty.

There are only two entrances to the underworld in the game.

One of them is located in the central part of Dongsheng Shenzhou, south of the Hanging River. However, many years ago, in the story of "Fairy 2", this place was not a plain, but a mountain called Buzhou Mountain.

He was certain that his avatar had truly emerged from Phoenix City, the entrance to the underworld.

Wei Wuxian was extremely excited.

Now that he has an avatar, his main body naturally doesn't need to risk leaving Guang'an City; he can simply control the avatar to travel the world.

However, you have to eat one bite at a time.

His avatar, Li Jingming, was resurrected from the dead. His Dao Fruit was still there, but his realm was gone. Not to mention, the old cultivation methods in this timeline had been almost completely replaced, so there was still an upper limit to cultivation.

Therefore, there's no rush to cultivate the incarnation; prioritize cultivating the original body, Wei Wuxian.

Squinting at Phoenix City, Wei Wuxian immediately formed a plan...

After another round of checking and filling in the gaps, Wei Wuxian finally had the leisure to check the condition of his clone.

Because he felt a chill everywhere...

Looking down, sure enough...

We can only wait for a kind person; Wei Wuxian doesn't have a penchant for streaking.

Leaving a sliver of his mind to deal with the situation on his clone's side, Wei Wuyang's main body stood up from his dormitory in the Dao Academy and walked into the courtyard.

After thinking for a moment, he called out softly.

"Guest Yang, Sister Wei."

The next moment, two figures appeared in the courtyard.

"Third Young Master."

"Wei Ying greets the Third Young Master."

Yang Teng casually cupped his hands in greeting, while Wei Ying, who was wearing a veil, was extremely respectful.

Both of them are Wei Wuxian's bodyguards on duty this year. The former is a guest elder of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, and the latter is one of the Shadow Guard Captains under the control of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.

Wei Wuxian didn't dwell on their attitudes, nor did he put on airs like his predecessor.

"Please, Guest Minister Yang, if you are faster, escort me back to the Imperial Preceptor's residence."

Wei Ying, being a servant of the Imperial Preceptor's household, felt a greater sense of responsibility. She asked with concern, "Is the Third Young Master alright?"

She was referring to the fact that he had just vomited blood in the room.

"It's nothing, I have something urgent to attend to, I need to see Aunt Pei right away."

Wei Wuxian walked back to the Imperial Preceptor's residence, which took at least an hour.

In two hours, his clone Li Jingming had neither a travel permit nor any other proof of travel. If something unexpected happened, he would suffer a huge loss.

Furthermore, the opportunity that Wei Wuxian was plotting lay in the former residence of the Imperial Preceptor in Phoenix City.

This all requires the cooperation of his own body.

"it is good."

In just a few breaths, Wei Wuxian was brought directly to the outer courtyard of the Imperial Preceptor's mansion.

"Wuxian's back! What's wrong? Did you get wronged again?"

The speaker was a beautiful woman who came out of the study.

She wore a light blue waist-length ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with a moon-white cross-collar inner garment on top and a smoky blue short shirt with dark patterns on the outside. Her full chest stretched the clothes taut. A plain brocade belt was tied around her waist, adorned with two small jade pendants that jingled softly as she walked.

Her eyes were gentle and warm, and her lips were lightly rouged, neither too bright nor too dark. She stood there smiling, looking like an ordinary merchant's wife, but there was a calm and composed demeanor between her brows.

He was not only the chief steward of the Imperial Preceptor's residence, but also the chief guest minister.

Yang Teng bowed respectfully to the woman, who waved her hand, and he respectfully withdrew.

Wei Wuxian then stepped forward and called out, "Aunt Pei."

The woman's real name was Pei Qiutang, and she was a close friend of Wei Wuxian's deceased mother.

In his past life's memories, he was one of the very few people who doted on him from beginning to end.

Even after his former self was crippled and became a playboy, he has never spoken a harsh word to him over the years. Instead, he would give him some pocket money in private every time they met.

However, her predecessor, perhaps out of guilt or for other reasons, visited Pei Qiutang less often as she grew older.

Pei Qiutang walked up to Wei Wuxian, first cupping Wei Wuxian's cheeks in her hands, pinching and kneading them, and then measuring his height.

"He's become more handsome and taller!"

Wei Wuxian caught a whiff of the lingering fragrance and awkwardly moved away.

"Aunt Pei."

Pei Qiutang's expression immediately changed, as if she had been wronged: "As expected, you're no longer close to your aunt after getting married. Now you're avoiding her."

No way.

Seeing that Wei Wuxian was no longer dodging, Pei Qiutang laughed again. After pinching him enough, she put her arm around Wei Wuxian's shoulder and walked into the study.

Pressing Wei Wuxian's shoulders to sit down, Pei Qiutang personally brought over a plate of pastries and a plate of spiritual fruits, placing them in front of him before speaking, "Did you and that girl Yunyi have another fight? You even came over on your own initiative this time. What, do you want your aunt's help?"

Wei Wuxian shook his head.

"No, Aunt Pei, I've come to discuss business with you."

Pei Qiutang did not speak.

Wei Wuxian continued, "Two things. First, I have a friend named Li Jingming who is waiting for me in Phoenix City. I want Aunt Pei to personally send him a message by flying sword. He wants to enter the dark prison of our old mansion and will share news of a small blessed land afterward."

Upon hearing the word "blessed land," Pei Qiutang's smile faded slightly, and she became more serious.

"The second thing is that I want to get an advance on next month's salary and cultivation quota to exchange for a bottle of Meridian Clearing Pill and some medicine for body tempering."

After Wei Wuxian finished speaking, Pei Qiutang stared at him for a while before speaking.

"Wu Xian has grown up."

Wei Wuxian looked away and didn't say anything.

Pei Qiutang, however, started acting up again, wiping her eyes with feigned sadness: "We're still too distant, aren't we? What business talk? This is your home!"

"Yes."

Wei Wuxian bowed his head and responded, then said, "I'll write down a list of the medicinal herbs later, and I'll trouble Aunt Pei to deliver them to the academy for me."

Pei Qiutang looked even more aggrieved.

"Aunt Pei."

Wei Wuxian called out again in exasperation.

Pei Qiutang then composed herself, stared at Wei Wuyang for a few moments, and suddenly spoke.

"I heard that you, Wuxian, took the initiative to have Yunyi write you a letter of divorce."

"Um."

Wei Wuxian nodded, then added, "I'll have to trouble Aunt Pei to withdraw my two guards. They're no longer needed."

"it is good."

Pei Qiutang agreed quite readily, then paused and looked out of the courtyard.

"Although I've always said she's not good enough for my Wuxian, actually, Yunyi isn't bad at all... She's sensible, knows when to advance and retreat, and her cultivation talent is decent. Wuxian, are you really sure about this?"

"Isn't Aunt Pei worried that I won't be able to beat her and will instead be ridiculed by her in public?"

"I believe in my Wuxian."

Pei Qiutang raised her chin: "I've always believed!"

Wei Wuxian met her gaze, then looked away again, saying nothing, but simply nodding emphatically.

After sitting quietly for a while, Wei Wuxian stood up and said, "Aunt Pei, I'll be going now."

"Um."

Pei Qiutang saw Wei Wuxian out of the room, staring at Wei Wuxian's thin back for a long time in a daze.

"How did I grow up so fast?"
