Primordial Yin Yang
Tian Ran sat on the chair next to Mu Yu, resting her face in her hands, elbows on the table. Cheng Yan sat opposite Tian Ran, preparing tea for everyone. Had it not been for their movements, Du Biying’s resplendent abode would have been dead silent.
After helping Daoist Boyang, who Mu Yu tended to earlier, settle down, Gu Yitian joined Cheng Yan at the table and received an offer for tea. “Thank you.”
“I never would’ve guessed you two are a Primordial Yin Yang,” Mu Yu remarked, leaning on a tree trunk behind Xiaoshuai.
Ximen Buxing, lying on a flat rock slab, poured himself another cup of wine jovially. “The old man merely sealed the Primordial Yin Yang in our bodies as our bodies are compatible. We didn’t want to resort to using it. I mean, Wanwan has never liked me.”
Wanwan sat on the aquatic plants by the pond, feet teasing the goldfish in aforementioned pond. “You don’t look mature enough. I like men, not boys.”
Xiaoshuai swung back and forth on the swing hanging off the banyan tree. “Hey, hey, which dao artefact do you two belong to?”
Wanwan flicked her head, gesturing for Ximen Buxing to answer. “It’s an artefact called Sinister Sky – a bloody axe that can convert anything. Unfortunately, it’s not here.”
“Not even you can find it?” Mu Yu asked.
Ximen Buxing hiked up his shoulders. “The Primordial Yin Yang being sealed in us doesn’t make us the Primordial Yin Yang. Sinister Sky is being used to seal something else in another world. The Primordial Yin Yang saved our lives just as the spirit lords saved yours. We must activate the power together to wield it, yet Wanwan usually refuses to join me in flirting with girls.”
Wanwan kicked vigorously, scaring the goldfishes back for a second before they promptly regrouped.
Mu Yu turned a branch into a chair to join Tian Ran. “Now that’s another surprise.”
Cheng Yan educated, “Besides the five elements, everyone possesses yin and yang. Ximen Buxing, you’re predominately yang, which is why you have the yin energy sealed in you correct? Wanwan is predominately yin, which is why she has the yang energy sealed in her, correct?”
Ximen Buxing cracked a smile. “Cheng Yan, I always thought Lie Shang was the cool one, but you know even more.”
“That’s because Kongkong and Miaomiao are younger versions of you two.”
“I told you those two houses some secret. Damn, even I didn’t realise it was another Primordial Yin Yang, though. Naughty kids need a spanking!” Xiaoshuai waved around his small flags again and then bounded onto Mu Yu’s shoulder. “How about you seal Xiaohei and Xiaobai into other kids? I’ll lead them on a journey to world conquest.”
Mu Yu stroked Xiaoshuai’s head. “I still can’t perfectly control Primordial Ying Yang’s power, let alone seal them. Have some fun with Kongkong and Miaomiao the next time you meet them. By the way, First Brother, what’s Shifu’s dao artefact?”
Cheng Yan had a sip of tea. “A mountain.”
“Oh, I know. I know.” Xiaoshuai jumped back onto the swing. “World Manifestation Samsara Peak, correct?”
Cheng Yan nodded. “Mu Yu, I assume you’ve retrieved World Manifestation Samsara Seal, correct?”
Mu Yu opened his hand, revealing the scenic mountain he came across on Fiend Island that no longer had the dimensional passages that he and Gui Ximing once used. “How did you know?”
“Uncle An told me. I brainstormed ways to visit Fiend-Sealing Pagoda; however, Archfiend Hai already escaped by the time I arrived. Since you had been there, I suspected you took the mountain that was missing.”
“When did you last see Uncle An? Is he all right? Was he the one who took Lan Ling’er, Kongkong and Miaomiao from Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden?”
“Yes. Uncle An found me three months ago and told me to search for Shifu’s dao artefact, also telling me he had a job Shifu entrusted him with and bolted off.”
“What’s the mission?”
“I don’t know, either; he didn’t tell me or accept my offer to help.”
“But Uncle An is only a Golden Core Cultivator… Would he…”
“Yes, but Shifu would’ve left him with other tools. He told me he’d be fine. I wouldn’t dispute Uncle An. You know his temperament as well as I do.”
“I hope Shifu is still well.” Mu Yu grabbed TIan Ran’s hand to comfort her.
Ximen Buxing commented, “Relax. Our shifus went missing at the same time. We don’t have the details, but they’re still alive. I guarantee it.”
“Ximen Buxing, are you serious? Have you seen them?” Tian Ran questioned.
Ximen Buxing shook his head with a grin. “No, but I bet Mu Yu knows why I’m certain.”
