What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?

Chapter 970: By The Way, We're OP

(MC POV)

I held up my hand, "Sorry, could you repeat that again?"

Sect Master Qing raised an eyebrow but repeated his words anyway.

"The Convergence of Planes. It happens around once every half a century or so. It's the best time for Practitioners to ascend to other Planes with the minimal amount of risk."

I frowned, how did I not know about this? I practically went to the other Planes by myself without knowing about this…

I really did brute force my way through huh…

Not to mention there was that little event with the Cloud Plane where I found out I'm not even really a Practitioner… Which doesn't really explain why I didn't even know there was an exact time where Practitioners would normally choose to ascend…

Am I the only one who doesn't know that around here?

"I wasn't even aware that there was such an event," I admitted, feeling a little sheepish than I would like to admit.

Sect Master Qing seemed surprised at first before a look of realisation dawned on his face.

"No… Now that I think about it… It wouldn't be that strange for Master Lin to be unaware of this… Usually matters like these would be taught during your apprenticeship in your cultivation with whoever was in charge of you. But since Master Lin was granted full autonomy in your cultivation…"

"There was no one to teach me this… Right…" I finished for him, finally realising how out of depth I was.

Sure, I know a lot of Techniques, skills, potions and various other cultivation related matters from reading in the Royal Archives back in the Spiritual Plane, but it seems my common sense for the Practitioner world is severely lacking.

This should be a problem but… It doesn't really matter to me now does it? I'm no longer just a Practitioner now.

I waved my hand, "Whatever, it's fine. There's one thing I want to ask though… When you say that they would be ascending to other Planes, where exactly are they ascending to?"

He reached up and stroked his beard, "Mmm… I believe it's safe to say that most of the unaffiliated Practitioners would be aiming for the Spiritual Plane. Otherwise, they should be looking at the Star Plane for the others."

Ok… I definitely knew about the Spiritual Plane but the Star Plane is news to me. Now I'm curious about what kind of place that is.

First things first though…

"Do you know that our Plane is considered mythical and of the epitome of cultivation to the other Planes?"

Now it was his turn to look shocked.

"What… What do you mean by that, Master Lin?"

"Exactly what I mean. Remember the two new prodigal students who came in this year? Luna and Rina?"

"Ah, Miss Lunamaeniera and Rina. Yes, I do remember them. They have made great strides in their cultivation. Although Miss Lunamaeniera girl keeps insisting that she is… Well… Master Lin's future wife…"

I waved my hand, "Oh I'm well aware of her antics. Those two came from the Spiritual Plane, which was where I had been for the last three years."

"Eh? The… Eh? From… Spiritual Plane… Eh?"

Oh no, I think I broke him.

I sighed and began to recount about my little trip to the Spiritual Plane and what I learnt there, including the fact that our Earthen Plane was supposedly the epitome for all Practitioners to reach.

He's one of the people I trust explicitly so I think there's no reason to hide this from him. And no, this has nothing to do with the fact that he's also a member of my fanclub.

"So… That girl is… The ruler of the entire Spiritual Plane?"

I nodded, "Though she may not look like it, Luna was considered one of the stro--"

"Huuuuuuussssbbaaaaaannnnnd!!!"

A figure appeared out of thin air in the middle of my courtyard before latching themselves on my back, hugging me tightly from behind.

"Ahhhh! Husband! I heard you calling my name! It's been so long you know? I have been so lonely without being able to see husband for all this time! Husband must have been lonely too, right? It's alright, I'm working really hard on being your ideal wife and to one day stand beside husband! I already know about the requirement of ascending to become a goddess so I will definitely work hard for it! Look forward to it, husband! Ah! Putting that aside for now, does husband think I should change my hairstyle? It sometimes gets in the way during training but if husband likes it, I can just tie it up! Or if husband would like me to change it to another style, please don't hesitate to let me know too! Oh, since we're also talking about that, I'm quite free now so if husband would like to go and spend some time with just the two of us, I wouldn't mind either, you know? Even though they say distance makes the heart grow fonder, I really missed husband, you know? So how about we just spend some time with just the two of us?"

I… Actually forgot Luna was like this… And that she mastered this teleportation Technique just to reach me whenever she wanted.

And just because she's always by her side, Rina had also appeared out of thin air beside her with a bow, "Mistress… I believe we are intruding. Master, please excuse our intrusion."

I shook my head, "It's fine, I was actually just talking about you two. In fact, since you're already here, why don't you two join us for tea?"

Even before I had finished uttering my words, two chairs had already materialised around my table, courtesy of Sophia.

That caught Rina's attention as she stared at the former demon lord with an inscrutable expression.

I wasn't sure why she would stare at her like that but Luna plopped herself down on the chair beside mine which took my attention away from her maid.

"My, my! I wouldn't dream of refusing an invitation from husband! In fact, feel free to invite me more often, husband! I will gladly free up anything in my schedule for you!"

No, no, you're currently a student here, you can't just throw away your studies just because I asked… Oh wait, you can… Since no one will object to it because it's me… Nevermind then.

Sect Master Qing was now looking at her with a complicated face, "Forgive me, miss Lunamaeniera. But Master Lin has informed me that you came from the Spiritual Plane. In fact, you were the Matriarch there?"

"Oh? Husband told you? That is true, but I have already abdicated the throne so that I could be with husband."

"You gave up your position in the Spiritual Plane to be with Master Lin?"

Luna scoffed, "Of course. Anyone who wouldn't is just stupid."

"Oh? Does no one protest such a decision?"

"Hmph, the only ones who do are those who cannot see husband's greatness!"

"Hoho! I could not have said it better myself, Miss Lunamaeniera!"

"Oh my! So you get it too! It's such a shame that I only met you now, Sect Master Qing!"

"Ah, the feeling is mutual. I hope we get along well from now on."

"Likewise!"

Err… What is this? Why are they already acting like they're best friends despite this being their first meeting?
