Chapter 54 Yan Ruyan Enters the Sect
Nine days passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Mixin and the others finally returned to the Thousand Illusions Sect.
On that day, after catching up with the main force of the Yan family's flying boat, Su Mixin and her group sped along and successfully entered the territory of the Jiang Kingdom.
Having already sent a message back to the sect in advance, the Thousand Illusions Sect had already made all the necessary arrangements. On the border, two Core Formation elders led more than ten Foundation Establishment disciples to stand and wait, ready for battle.
From then on, all subsequent matters concerning the Yan family's relocation were entrusted to the two Core Formation Elders for overall coordination and implementation.
Su Mixin specifically instructed Li Chongyue to pay close attention to and follow up on all matters throughout the process to ensure safety and peace of mind.
The Yan family's flying boat team consisted of a large number of people and various styles of flying boats, making their movement extremely slow.
Su Mixin, impatient with the slow pace, broke away from the main group with Li Chongyue, Lu Xin, and Madam Yulan, and returned home first, taking Yan Ruyan with her.
As for Tian Buque and his group, they had already parted ways with the others and returned to their respective sects when they entered the territory of Tianluo Kingdom.
As the group entered the Thousand Illusions Sect's mountain gate, Li Chongyue and the other two immediately stepped forward, cupped their hands in farewell, and took their leave. According to the sect's rules, they needed to first go to the General Affairs Hall, which was directly under the sect leader, to hand over the arrangements for this trip and report back truthfully.
Su Mixin did not go with them. He took Yan Ruyan and boarded the Yellow Crystal Flying Boat. They took off first and went straight to pay their respects to his father.
The flying boat glided steadily among the sect's peaks and palaces, enjoying the magnificent scenery along the way.
Su Mixin gently put her arm around Yan Ruyan's fragrant shoulder, her fingertips caressing the slightly cool fabric, and calmly and meticulously introduced the layout of the Thousand Illusion Sect's heartland to her, speaking in a detailed and engaging manner.
After several such intimate physical touches, Yan Ruyan had already shed her initial shyness and restraint.
Holding her in his arms, she felt at peace. She no longer blushed easily or became shy and timid. Her posture was relaxed, and she was much more composed.
Upon reaching the Mi Lian Palace, Su Mixin finally calmed down a bit.
At this moment, Su Yunluo was sitting quietly in the palace tea room, brewing and tasting tea, enjoying himself leisurely.
Su Mixin and Yan Ruyan slowly entered, bowed in greeting, and after exchanging pleasantries, Su Mixin reported the details of the incident.
Upon hearing that her son had completely outmaneuvered and overwhelmed Wang Chan, and even personally severed his arms, Su Yunluo raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes before turning into a faint smile. She did not utter a word of reproach.
With everything settled, the topic turned to Yan Ruyan's arrangements.
Su Yunluo's eyes were sharp, and she had already seen through the ambiguous and tender feelings between the two of them. She understood it all.
He didn't point it out, but took the initiative to arrange for Yan Ruyan to stay temporarily at the Mi Xin Palace. Once settled, she could choose a superior spiritual vein node within the peak area to build her own exclusive palace and settle down for cultivation for a long time.
Xin Ruyin has always preferred quiet to noise, so she chose a secluded valley near a spiritual vein to build her residence, where she could live peacefully and undisturbed.
With everything settled, the two bid farewell to Su Yunluo and slowly withdrew from the Mi Lian Palace.
Yan Ruyan recalled Su Yunluo's gaze just now, knowing that the other party had already seen through her secret feelings for Su Mixin. Her heart was filled with shyness, and her cheeks were flushed red, which did not fade for a long time.
The evening breeze caressed the celestial branches in front of the palace, causing petals to flutter gently, and Yan Ruyan's eyes and brows couldn't hide her tenderness and warmth.
Upon returning to the Mi Xin Hall, Su Mi Xin immediately summoned the attendant on duty and ordered him to go to the Transmission Hall and invite the disciple on duty to take full responsibility for Yan Ru Yan's registration into the sect.
Before long, several disciples on duty at the Transmission Hall arrived as ordered, displaying impeccable manners and acting swiftly.
With Su Mixin overseeing the process, the entire entry into the sect went incredibly smoothly, requiring no effort from Yan Ruyan.
Registration, information entry, and entry into the sect's register were all completed in an orderly manner. From then on, Yan Ruyan officially joined the Thousand Illusion Sect and became a registered disciple of the sect.
According to the sect's rules, new disciples must pay homage to the ancestral hall and honor the sect's ancestors in order to be considered to have officially settled down in the sect.
Therefore, the subsequent matters were entrusted to the female disciples to guide and accompany Yan Ruyan to the Ancestral Hall to pay homage and complete the final ritual procedures for joining the sect.
After Yan Ruyan returned from her pilgrimage, Su Mixin instructed her servants to bring a geomantic map and discuss the location of her palace with Yan Ruyan.
Throughout the process, Su Mixin seemed to be asking questions at every turn. He slowly explained the advantages and disadvantages of each spiritual vein node to Yan Ruyan, and finally casually inquired about her feelings.
Yan Ruyan was perceptive and could easily see through his thoughts. The spiritual vein node he had chosen was right next to the Mi Xin Palace.
She didn't say a word, nor did she deliberately agree or decline; she just listened and watched quietly, but the light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Without much deliberation, the two understood each other perfectly and ultimately settled on an excellent spiritual vein node that was closest to the Mi Xin Palace.
The spiritual energy here is abundant, the terrain is stable and tranquil, and one can see the flying eaves and roof of the Mi Xin Hall with just a glance. They are within arm's reach and can hear each other day and night.
The moment the location was finalized, Yan Ruyan could hardly contain her secret joy, and her steps became lighter.
Although she tried to control her expression and didn't reveal anything, the gentleness in her brows and the undisguised joy in her eyes had already betrayed her true feelings.
Even with the blessing of magic, the completion of this new palace would still take three to five days. Yan Ruyan first chose a room and a quiet room in the Mi Xin Palace to stay temporarily.
After a flurry of activity, everything was settled – the entry into the temple, the worship, the selection of the site, and the accommodations. The attendants in the hall all withdrew, and there was no one else around to disturb them. Finally, the two of them had some quiet time alone.
Su Mixin turned to look at the gentle-looking girl beside her, a faint smile in her eyes, and naturally reached out to gently take Yan Ruyan's soft hand.
Her fingertips were slightly cool and soft to the touch. The moment they were firmly enveloped by the warmth of his palm, Yan Ruyan paused slightly, then obediently let him lead her without the slightest resistance.
"You've been busy all day, take a break," Su Mixin said softly, her tone gentle and tender.
After saying that, he took Yan Ruyan's hand and slowly walked into a tea room in the Mi Xin Palace.
The tea room was quiet and elegant, with the fragrance of sandalwood wafting through the air, so tranquil that only the soft breaths of the two people could be heard mingling together.
In a quiet corner of the tea room, there was a wooden recliner. He took Yan Ruyan's soft little hand and walked slowly to the recliner. Before the girl could react, he suddenly turned around.
In the instant Yan Ruyan was caught off guard, Su Mixin's left hand steadily slipped into the crook of her leg, the force gentle yet allowing no escape, and she pulled her close.
With a light touch, he lifted her up in his arms.
Yan Ruyan was suddenly lifted into the air, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously let out a soft moan. Her arms instinctively rose and wrapped around Su Mixin's neck.
The sudden closeness allowed her to clearly smell his scent; his warm masculine aura enveloped her completely, washing over her.
She froze instantly, her fair cheeks flushing a deep, burning red that spread from her face to her ears, even her slender neck taking on a faint blush. Her long eyelashes trembled in panic as she looked up and met his eyes.
With a smile in his eyes, Su Mixin gently carried her to a seat on the wooden recliner, then carefully placed the soft girl in his arms onto his lap.
He naturally wrapped his right arm around her slender and supple waist, holding her firmly in his arms, and with a little leverage, he helped her to half-recline against the soft chair back.
The two bodies were pressed tightly together, without any gap between them, their warm body heat seeping through the layers of clothing, intimately connected.
This extremely intimate posture made Yan Ruyan tense up, her whole body stiff and afraid to move. She curled up in his arms like a shy and docile little animal.
Her head was slightly lowered, her eyelashes drooping down, concealing the shyness and panic surging in her eyes. Her heart was pounding like a drum, so clearly that she could hear it herself.
