Chapter 238: Chapter 165 Separation_2
He didn’t know when the False Infant Ancestor from the Beishu Mingxin Sect would arrive; he couldn’t place all his hopes on dealing with the Beihai Trading Company.
He hastened his plans, shipping large quantities of materials from the Hidden Dragon Trading House to Eagle Beak Island.
Within the Xuanming Sect, given the recent tense situation, Elder Ren forced Ren Fei’er to remain in seclusion.
Additionally, since Master Luo had some aversions to Elder Ren’s identity as a Golden Core from the demonic path, Elder Ren didn’t go to see Master Luo, leaving Ren Fei’er without the opportunity to enter the Sky Sea Sect.
Unexpectedly, Master Luo’s departure was so swift that, although they had planned for the two sisters to meet, they were still a step too late. By the time Elder Ren heard the news, Master Luo had already left with Yin Shilan.
Elder Ren walked into the seclusion chamber, where Ren Fei’er was slowly opening her eyes.
Ren Fei’er’s aura had reached the middle stage of the Qi Refining Ninth Level, a result of using precious Spiritual Medicines and consuming considerable resources.
With her pace of cultivation, it wouldn’t take long for her to meet the conditions to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Elder Ren placed great importance on her younger daughter, hoping that she could have some ability to protect herself before the full-scale invasion by the Heavenly Sea cultivators.
That way, even if Elder Ren and Elder Yin couldn’t look after Ren Fei’er, she would be able to ensure her own safety.
“Mother, why have you come? Is it time for me to leave?” Ren Fei’er, seeing Elder Ren, showed a look of joy and repeatedly asked.
Elder Ren couldn’t help shaking her head; Ren Fei’er was too playful, and her worries for Ren Fei’er’s future safety increased.
They knew that once they lost the protection of the Seven Sects, any further willfulness on Ren Fei’er’s part might lead to lethal consequences.
“Fei’er, your sister was taken away by her teacher!” Elder Ren did not offer any lectures but instead whispered softly.
“Why didn’t she say goodbye to me?” Ren Fei’er had already known about Yin Shilan’s departure and had hoped to use meeting her sister as a chance to get outside for some fresh air.
She never expected her sister to leave like this, without even saying goodbye.
“Is Sister angry with me? Did she find out I also like her little brother?” Ren Fei’er murmured to herself.
In her mind, Yin Shilan’s departure without saying goodbye had to be because she was angry.

Moreover, because she had concealed meeting Li Shiming from everyone, her heart had always been uneasy.
Ren Fei’er could never keep secrets for long, and hiding such a significant secret for so long was just because she was afraid her sister or her mother would discover it.
So upon hearing of Yin Shilan’s secretive departure, she blurted out all her secrets in an outburst.
Upon hearing her young daughter’s words, Elder Ren was stunned; she had met Li Shiming, but she never imagined that the young man from that day was Li Shiming.
The youth who had drawn his sword against her to protect Ren Fei’er, braved countless sea beasts, and would rather die than let harm come to Fei’er, was Yin Shilan’s beloved, Li Shiming.
Even though Elder Ren hailed from a demonic sect and had witnessed many odd phenomena, she still found the situation that had entangled both her daughters headache-inducing.
She couldn’t help but feel angry at Li Shiming, thinking that if he truly loved her elder daughter Yin Shilan, why would he entangle himself with the younger one, Ren Fei’er?
However, before anything else, Elder Ren needed to know how far things had gone between Li Shiming and her younger daughter, Ren Fei’er. Despite being born into a demonic path, Fei’er was very sheltered and young, and therefore, easily deceived.
Of course, this was just Elder Ren’s concern. In reality, Ren Fei’er was very clever; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to thrive so well within the Xuanming Sect or even coax treasures from other Golden Core cultivators.
“Fei’er, how far have things gone between you and Li Shiming?” Elder Ren glared at Ren Fei’er and asked sternly.
“What do you mean ‘how far’?” Ren Fei’er asked back, showing a puzzled look in her eyes.
“Have you held hands with Li Shiming?” Elder Ren asked irritably and directly.
“Does it count if the little brother hugged me?” Ren Fei’er pondered and replied.
“Damn little trickster, don’t you know how to protect yourself?” Elder Ren, furious, raised her hand and then, looking at Ren Fei’er’s face, she found she didn’t have the heart to bring it down and could only curse angrily.
“At that moment, I was severely injured by Du Yuan, and Big Brother had to carry me to escape; of course he had to carry me!” Ren Fei’er said with a sly smile, seeing that her mother was genuinely angry.
Elder Ren pointed at Ren Fei’er, feeling a mix of annoyance and amusement. She could see through it: Ren Fei’er was harboring a one-sided crush, yet she still needed to have a talk with Li Shiming.
“Fei’er, you better focus on your cultivation. Later, I will take you to Beishu to see your sister!” Elder Ren sternly instructed.
Watching her mother leave, Ren Fei’er propped her chin with both hands, her face filled with troubles.
“I won’t be causing trouble for Big Brother again, right?” she murmured to herself.
How could she not understand what her mother wanted to ask, but apart from that time in Nanshan Country, she rarely had the chance to meet Li Shiming. Nanshan Country was also the closest she ever got to him.
If there really was an opportunity, she could get even closer to Li Shiming.
“Ay, what am I thinking!” She shook her head vigorously, casting away the silly thoughts in her mind.
Li Shiming could never have imagined that tiny Eagle Beak Island would be hosting a second Golden Core.
When he saw Elder Ren, he felt an inexplicable surprise in his heart.
He didn’t know about the relationship between Elder Yin and Elder Ren. Even within the Seven Sects, only the Golden Cores were privy to this, and within the Sky Sea Sect, only the upper echelons were aware.
Even if some cultivators he knew were aware of this, they wouldn’t mention it in front of him.
If Li Shiming knew about the relationship between Elder Yin and Elder Ren, then he would guess the relationship between Yin Shilan and Ren Fei’er.
“Kid, we meet again!” Elder Ren looked at Li Shiming, thinking about her two daughters. She wanted to burst out but restrained herself, speaking indifferently.
Li Shiming was quite straightforward, and after offering Elder Ren a cup of Spiritual Tea, he stood upright with his hands clasped, waiting for Elder Ren’s commands.
Knowing the relationships among the Seven Sects, he naturally understood that even if Elder Ren wasn’t a Golden Core Elder of the Sky Sea Sect, she still wielded considerable influence.
Especially given his understanding of the Sect Formation’s effectiveness, he was sure that the Sect must be aware of Elder Ren’s visit.
If a Golden Core cultivator had entered within two hundred miles of the Sect Formation without being detected, then the Sky Sea Sect should no longer exist; moreover, the Sect Protection Array set up by countless Array Masters over thousands of years would be nothing but a facade.
“I’m here to ask you, when are you going to marry Fei’er?” Elder Ren, true to her title as a devil, rendered Li Shiming speechless with a single sentence.
What did she mean by that, marry Fei’er?
Although Li Shiming felt some affection towards Ren Fei’er, it was only due to some nostalgia from his past life and had nothing to do with love.
He never hinted at anything more to Ren Fei’er, merely keeping her company in conversation and storytelling, treating it like a long-distance chat from his previous life—similar to having a QQ or WeChat friend.
Besides, although he appeared only a year older than Ren Fei’er, if his previous life was included, his mental age was far beyond her’s.
Yet, in his interactions with Yin Shilan, neither side ever felt an issue of age.
“Elder, there must be a misunderstanding. I have a lover already!” Li Shiming finally regained his composure and immediately replied.
“What’s wrong with Fei’er? If you marry her, you can have my help, and assisting you with Foundation Establishment will be no problem!” Elder Ren continued, her expression unchanged.
“Elder, Fei’er and I are just friends. Please forgive me, but I cannot accept your offer!” Li Shiming responded with a firm tone, bowing.
“Are you truly not agreeing?” Elder Ren’s expression shifted slightly, and her aura bore down on him like a mountain.
Li Shiming was pressed so forcefully that his bones thundered, and his stature shrank several inches.
The terrifying pressure drove his feet into the ground. Elder Ren had intended to make him kneel, but since his Body Refinement was exceptionally strong and Elder Ren didn’t really want to harm him, this was the outcome.
“You’re very good!” Unsure whether to feel happy or sad about Li Shiming’s stance, Elder Ren, as powerful as she was, could only helplessly utter three stern words.
Afterward, Elder Ren disappeared, leaving a perplexed Li Shiming without a clue.
