Reversing the Milky Way

Bai Cheng was somewhat gratified to hear this.

"Don't worry, Uncle Yu, I will work even harder in my cultivation."

At the same time, Pang Yuhuai was directing the villagers to repair houses in Yujia Village when he spotted an enormous white bird flying overhead. He immediately recognized it as a fourth-grade flying spirit beast mount, the Spirit Dove.

After using his divine sense to investigate, Pang Yuhuai discovered that there were three people on the platform, one of whom was Xuan Chenfeng. Upon seeing this, he immediately flew on his sword to follow them and soon caught up with the three people on the spirit dove.

"I never expected Elder Xuan to personally visit Yu Family Village. May I ask what brings you here? How could I trouble you to come all this way?"

Xuan Chenfeng glanced at the newcomer, and finally spoke slowly.

"Oh, I didn't expect that someone would recognize me in such a small place?"

Upon hearing this, Pang Yuhuai also wore a fawning smile.

"Elder Xuan, have you forgotten? I was one of your students from twenty years ago, and now I've been transferred to Yujia Village as an inspector." After saying that, he looked at the other two people on the back of the spirit vulture, namely Xuan Molin and Xuan Taiming.

Xuan Chenfeng closed his eyes and pondered after hearing these words.

"Oh, it's you? I didn't expect that after twenty years, you would have become a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Condensation. You are truly a force to be reckoned with."

"Elder Xuan, you flatter me. May I ask what brings you here?"

Xuan Chenfeng's face was beaming with a warm smile.

"Very well, since you are the inspector of Yu Family Village, come with me."

After he finished speaking, Pang Yuhuai was a little confused, but he could only follow.

Soon, the group arrived at the door of a house. Pang Yuhuai looked closely and realized, "Isn't this Yu Qing'an's house?!"

At this moment, Yu Qing'an, who was in the courtyard, also had a serious expression after noticing the person outside the door, and Yue Ling beside him showed the same expression.

Bai Cheng was somewhat confused.

"Ling'er, Uncle Yu, what's wrong with you two?"

Yu Qing'an looked serious.

"Didn't you feel it? The unusual fluctuations in spiritual energy outside the door."

Hearing this, Bai Cheng calmed down and carefully sensed the area outside the door. At this moment, he realized that the vast spiritual energy outside the door all came from one person. Moreover, he also noticed three blurry figures around that person, and these three people were also constantly emitting fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Bai Cheng was also somewhat surprised at this moment.

"This, this is!"

Yu Qing'an turned to look at him.

"It seems you can already sense it; this is what's called divine sense probing. But it looks like you still have a long way to go."

As soon as he finished speaking, a knock sounded on the door.

"Thump, thump, thump,"

Yu Qing'an let out a long sigh.

"Hey, Bai Cheng, go open the door."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng also came to the gate and opened it. Instantly, he saw three people he didn't want to see, as well as an older man. However, the old man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and behind him was a large, snow-white bird, which was at least ten meters long.

Upon seeing the group, Bai Cheng's expression immediately darkened.

"Tsk! What's going on today? Has the sun risen in the west? You guys actually know how to knock on the door?"

Upon seeing the person who opened the door, Xuan Chenfeng carefully examined Bai Cheng before him.

“Young friend, you flatter me. One should knock before entering someone’s home. Besides, we have come here today to discuss some joyous occasion.”

Bai Cheng was also taken aback when he heard this.

"Ok??"

Immediately afterward, Xuan Chenfeng ignored Bai Cheng and led the other three directly into the courtyard. Once inside, Xuan Chenfeng looked around. He noticed that although the courtyard was simple, some of the furnishings were unlike those of an ordinary household.

Then he looked at Yu Qing'an and Yue Ling sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard. When he saw Yue Ling, he was quite satisfied. So, he walked quickly to Yu Qing'an. Looking at the man in his forties, he was about to speak when he realized that the man gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

After scrutinizing Yu Qing'an for a moment, he said, "You must be the head of the Yu family, right? My daughter is as beautiful as a celestial being and has exceptional talent. It is truly a blessing."

Yu Qing'an frowned upon hearing this.

"Elder Xuan has come all the way from the Heavenly Fire Academy, surely not just to praise my daughter a few times?"

Xuan Chenfeng was slightly surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that a farmer in a remote village would recognize him, which made him even more puzzled.

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet, how come Patriarch Yu still recognizes me?"

Looking at Xuan Chenfeng's elder's robes, Yu Qing'an's thoughts seemed to return to the time when he was at Tianhuo Academy.

"I am not very talented, but I have met Elder Xuan before."

Upon hearing this, not only Xuan Chenfeng, but also the other three were slightly surprised.

Xuan Molin also stepped forward, looking at Yu Qing'an in front of him.

"You farmer really know how to flatter yourself. Elder Xuan is a vocational education elder of Tianhuo Academy. How could an ordinary person like you have ever met Elder Xuan?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Chenfeng slightly raised his hand in acknowledgment.

At this moment, he also felt that the person in front of him was becoming more and more familiar, but he still couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Thinking of this, Xuan Chenfeng put on an air of superiority.

"Then this Master Yu must travel far away frequently, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qing'an thought about how he often went hunting in the Yunluo Forest, which could indeed be considered a long trip, so he nodded.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Chenfeng suddenly realized what was going on.

"I see. No wonder the Yu family head looked somewhat familiar."

He then stood up and straightened his clothes.

"That's not surprising. As an elder in charge of education at the Heavenly Fire Academy, I usually lead my students to various cities to give lectures. I suppose that's when Patriarch Yu saw me?"

After he finished speaking, he went to Yu Qing'an's side.

"My daughter must be exceptionally intelligent; her talent must be due to my lessons. It's truly a wonderful coincidence!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng, who was standing nearby, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

"Holy crap, I originally thought Xuan Taiming's shamelessness was a matter of character, but it turns out it's hereditary. This old man's blatant lying is on par with those self-media influencers."

Thinking of this, Bai Cheng stepped forward and said, "Elder Xuan, what exactly are you here for today? If you're just here to boast, then there's no need for that."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Chenfeng's expression turned somewhat displeased. He abruptly turned to look at Bai Cheng, and immediately an invisible spiritual energy attack followed.

Bai Cheng didn't even have time to react before he was struck by an invisible force, his body instantly flying backward like a cannonball. This invisible force pierced through the courtyard wall of Yu Qing'an's house, sending Bai Cheng flying a hundred meters before abruptly stopping.

"Bai Cheng!!" Upon seeing this, Yue Ling quickly ran towards the direction where Bai Cheng had been knocked away.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qing'an slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and looked at the person before him.

"Xuan Chenfeng! What exactly are you here for today?"

Xuan Chenfeng looked at Yu Qing'an, who was full of anger, but didn't take it seriously. He slowly said, "Hehe, this boy is so rude. As an elder of the Tianhuo Academy, it is my duty to punish him."

After speaking, he dropped his amiable expression and stared intently at Yu Qing'an.

"To tell you the truth, I've come today to propose marriage for my son!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qing'an clenched his fists tightly. His anger was fully displayed on his face, and his eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

"You're dreaming! My family doesn't welcome a big shot like Elder Xuan. You'd better leave!"

Xuan Chenfeng looked at him coldly after hearing those words.

“Patriarch Yu, I am not asking for your opinion. I am just informing you that it is a blessing for you, an ordinary person, to be able to climb up to a cultivation family like mine. Before you die of old age, I do not want my relationship with my future father-in-law to become strained.”

At this moment, not far from Yu Qing'an's house.

When Yue Ling saw Bai Cheng lying on the ground, she quickly helped him up.

"Bai Cheng! Are you alright?" Bai Cheng coughed twice and got up from the ground, the familiar smell of blood surging from his chest.

"Cough! Cough! This old man is truly vicious; he's so cruel."

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a voice came from the direction of Yu Qing'an's house.

"Kid, this is a lesson for you. If I had used my full strength, you wouldn't be able to get up right now."

Bai Cheng was startled when he heard this.

'Damn it, I forgot that this old guy can also use his divine sense to probe; he might hear everything I say.'

Not only Bai Cheng, but even Yue Ling heard this telepathic transmission.

"Pah! You old man, you're shameless!" But as soon as he finished speaking, another voice came.

"Hehehe, little girl, you're so arrogant. My son will have to teach you a lesson later!"

After he finished speaking, Bai Cheng and Yue Ling looked at each other in bewilderment.

Bai Cheng was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.

What did he mean by that?

Yue Ling, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent.

"You don't need to pay attention to it, that old guy is just talking to himself because he's gone mad."

After that, Yue Ling helped Bai Cheng walk towards home.

At Yu Qing'an's home.

Xuan Chenfeng looked at Yu Qing'an with a gloomy expression.

"Master Yu, the Lantern Festival is in two days. We certainly cannot miss such an auspicious day. I will personally lead a group to fetch the bride!"

After saying this, Xuan Chenfeng led the other three out of Yu Qing'an's house, where they happened to meet Bai Cheng, who was being helped back. After exchanging glances, Xuan Chenfeng and his two sons jumped onto the back of the spirit dove, and with a flap of its wings, the spirit dove flew towards the southeast.

Pang Yuhuai glanced at Bai Cheng and then shook his head.

"Well, there are still two days left. You guys should get ready."

After saying that, he summoned his flying sword and rode away.

Bai Cheng was puzzled after hearing this.

"What? There are still two days left?"

As Bai Cheng and Yue Ling returned to the courtyard, they saw Yu Qing'an standing there with an expression of uncontrollable rage.

Bai Cheng also quickly stepped forward.

"Uncle Yu, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qing'an slammed his fist hard on the table.

"That old bastard actually wants his son to marry Yueling. He's dreaming!"

Bai Cheng was also somewhat shocked after hearing this.

"His son? Who is he?!"

"Who else could it be? It's that inspector from before, Xuan Taiming!"

Bai Cheng also became somewhat nervous upon hearing this.

"What?! Uncle Yu, you didn't agree, did you?"

"How could I possibly agree to that? His son should take a good look at himself in the mirror."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng also began to ponder.

"What should we do then? Pang Yuhuan just said she gave us two days to prepare. Does she intend to rob us outright?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qing'an sat down helplessly.

"You weren't hurt just now, were you? That guy is a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. His attack on you was probably just a show of force against me."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"What?! Mid-stage of the Meridian Opening Realm! Doesn't that mean he's even more powerful than that old guy Mo Yan?! What should we do? Should we move away from here?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qing'an shook his head.

"Hey, you've got some ideas. But it's easier said than done. Putting aside his level of cultivation, just considering his identity, finding us would be a piece of cake."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng also felt a surge of intense panic.

"What can we do then? We can't just stand by and watch Yueling be violated, can we?"

At this point, Bai Cheng's voice abruptly stopped. Looking at Yue Ling beside him, the feeling of powerlessness welled up in his heart once again.

At this moment, Yu Qing'an slowly stood up.

"Now, the best approach has two solutions."

Bai Cheng was taken aback.

"Which two?"

Yu Qing'an closed his eyes and pondered for a while.

"First, we should arrange for Ling'er to get married within the next two days. The bigger the commotion, the better, and the more people who know about it, the better. However, doing so might directly offend Xuan Chenfeng."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng froze.

"What?! You want Yueling to get married?!"

Yu Qing'an nodded.

"Indeed, this is only a temporary measure, but if we marry later, it may affect Ling'er's reputation."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng's mind went blank for some reason, and he subconsciously asked a question.

"Does Uncle Yu have someone in mind?"

Yu Qing'an also turned his head to look at Yue Ling.

"Although this is just an impromptu performance, the choice of actors still depends on Ling'er's opinion."

Upon hearing this, Yue Ling awkwardly approached her father and stared blankly at Bai Cheng. Her shy demeanor immediately made Bai Cheng feel somewhat embarrassed.

"What about the second option?

Looking at Bai Cheng's shy expression, Yu Qing'an teased, "What? You don't want to?"

Bai Cheng felt even more embarrassed by the question.

"Of course not, it's just..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Cheng looked at Yue Ling, whom he had spent every day with. Only then did he realize that he had slowly fallen in love with the girl in front of him without even realizing it.

"What about Uncle Yu's second option?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qing'an's expression changed, and he looked at him with a serious face.

"Of course we're calling for reinforcements! Do you remember the jade pendant Mu Wan gave you?"

Bai Cheng was also taken aback when he heard this.

"Uncle Yu! Could it be?!"

"That's right, and this is the simplest method. The Bai family isn't afraid of a mere vocational education elder from the Heavenly Fire Academy."...

Inside the Bai residence, after Bai Muwan returned home, she was confined by her father, Bai Zhentian, for three days. At this time, she was cultivating in the courtyard.

"Father is really something. He only went to Wuling Town to watch a competition. Besides, I even earned three thousand silver coins."

While she was complaining, Bai Muwan noticed that the jade pendant at her waist had lit up again.

"Hmm? Who is it this time?"

After she poured spiritual energy into the jade tablet, Yu Qing'an's voice came from it.

{From inside the jade tablet: "Mu Wan, Mu Wan, are you there?"}
