Chapter 140 Young Palace Master Who Can't Live Twenty Years Old?
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, there was another knock on the door of Chu Tianchen's room.
He opened the door and saw that it was Chu Xiner.
Chu Xiner looked a little excited and asked impatiently: "Brother, I heard that the sect leader is back, right?"
Chu Tianchen nodded and asked, "Xin'er, aren't you practicing in seclusion? Why did it end so soon?"
Chu Xiner explained: "My realm has been stabilized and I just finished practicing.
I was planning to come to you and ask for advice on how to quickly gather the power of the soul.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I heard the guards talking, saying that the sect leader came back last night.
He also said that you will be the young sect master from now on...
Brother, what’s going on?”
Chu Tianchen smiled and explained: "I thought you were going to be in seclusion for a while, and I wanted to wait until your cultivation was over before I told you the news.
Since you are already here, let me tell you.
Do you know who the sect master is?"
Chu Tianchen deliberately put it off and raised his eyebrows playfully.
Chu Xiner was most concerned about this question and answered without thinking: "The guards have all called you Young Sect Master. That Sect Master must be my father, right?"
"No, my father is the previous sect leader." Chu Tianchen's smile became even more meaningful.
"This..." Chu Xiner was stunned for a moment, frowning and thinking for a long time, but she couldn't guess who it was.
Seeing Chu Tianchen smiling more and more happily, she frowned and said angrily: "Brother, can you stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly."
"Okay." Chu Tianchen smiled and nodded, "The current sect leader is...grandpa."
"Ah?" Chu Xiner was stunned again, her eyes widened with disbelief.
"How is this possible? Didn't Grandpa already... thirteen years ago?"
"Yes, I think so too." Chu Tianchen understood what she was thinking and told her the truth of the matter.
After hearing this, Chu Xiner said happily and excitedly: "That's great! It's great that grandpa is still alive!"
Chu Tianchen smiled again and said: "There is even better news, do you want to hear it?"
"Yes!" Chu Xiner's eyes became brighter and she was even more expectant.
"Then you have to be mentally prepared."
"Hmph! Brother, you are not allowed to lie this time. I won't guess!" Chu Xiner was afraid that he would beat around the bush again, so she glared at him.
Chu Tianchen smiled awkwardly and said directly: "Actually, my mother has not passed away..."
"Ah?" This time, Chu Xiner was truly stunned.
She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. She was so excited that she almost jumped up, but two lines of tears welled up in her eyes.
"Really? Mother is still alive?
Brother, don’t lie to me!”
Chu Tianchen told her what happened again.
After Chu Xiner heard this, she could no longer contain her excitement and longing, and immediately covered her face and burst into tears.
Chu Tianchen comforted her for a while before her mood calmed down.
"Okay Xin'er, calm down and go to Yuxiao Sect to pay your respects to grandpa.
We haven’t seen each other for thirteen years, and grandpa misses you too."
"Yes." Chu Xiner nodded, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and waved to Chu Tianchen.
"Brother, then I'm going to see grandpa."
"Go." Chu Tianchen nodded and watched her turn and leave.
Then, he stepped out of the room, faced the faint morning light, and wandered on Yuxiao Mountain.
Last night, he accepted too much news and secrets, and also understood the truth of many things.
Now, after Chu Xiner learned the news, her reaction was more intense than he imagined.
Therefore, he needs to be alone and carefully consider the follow-up plan.
…
The back mountain of Yuxiao Sect.
On the bank of Weiran Lake, there are several bamboo houses built near the water, suspended above the water.
In the early morning on the lake, there was a scene of steaming water.
Several bamboo houses are looming in the water vapor, which is quite ethereal and seems to be coming out of the dust.
At this time, Li Xianyun was lying on a wicker chair in the small courtyard in front of the bamboo house, breathing the morning breeze comfortably and tasting a pot of spiritual tea.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a spiritual light flew from a distance, quickly passed over the lake, and landed in the small courtyard.
After the spiritual light dissipated, a white figure appeared.
The person who came was a tall woman wearing a long white dress with white temples.
She looks like she is in her sixties, but she doesn't look old.
Even from her eyebrows, thin cheeks and cold and arrogant temperament, it is enough to tell that when she was young, she must have been stunningly beautiful.
The white robe she wore and the jade belt around her waist were both spotless.
The long gray hair on his head was also meticulously combed and hung docilely behind his back.
Even the jade pendants and tassels hanging around her waist were very neat.
This shows that she is a very self-disciplined person who strictly follows the rules.
There may even be some obsessive-compulsive disorder.
She stood in the courtyard, looking at Li Xianyun who was lying on a wicker chair and sipping tea leisurely. She suddenly frowned, with a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes.
Li Xianyun stared at the woman in the white dress. After being stunned for a moment, he stood up.
"Madam, why are you here?
I haven’t seen you for three years, my husband misses you very much!”
Li Xianyun threw away the cattail leaf fan and teapot, opened his arms with excitement, and was about to hug the woman in the white dress.
Unexpectedly, the woman in the white dress stepped back and said with an indifferent expression: "Stop! Who is your wife?"
Li Xianyun, I have made it clear to you a long time ago that we are just brothers and sisters, we no longer have any relationship as husband and wife."
Li Xianyun didn't have the slightest sense of being disliked, and still walked towards the woman in the white dress with a smile on her face.
"Fang'er, as the saying goes, a couple's kindness lasts a hundred days, not to mention that we have been husband and wife for more than 20 years, and we have a child named Ningsu.
You and your husband have been keeping Qi for thirty years, why can't you still get rid of Qi?"
In front of the woman in the white dress, Li Xianyun did not have the momentum and majesty of the powerful Holy Lord.
Even his demeanor and tone seemed a bit aggrieved and flattering.
The woman in the white dress still looked cold, and retorted: "Haha... all you think about is that vixen, how can there be a place for us two in your heart?"
"Alas..." Li Xianyun sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Fang'er, how many times have I explained this to you.
What happened back then was a misunderstanding, I just saved her out of good intentions, and I am completely innocent with her, and there is absolutely no personal relationship between a man and a woman!"
The woman in the white dress said expressionlessly: "Come on, Li Xianyun, you keep saying these words over and over again, my ears are getting calluses.
I came here today because of Nishang's condition, and I don't want to settle old scores with you."
Hearing Feng Qingfang mention his granddaughter Feng Nishang, Li Xianyun finally reacted and asked quickly: "Where is that girl Nishang? Why didn't she come with you?"
Feng Qingfang said calmly: "She had a cold attack and went directly to Jincaiquan."
Li Xianyun frowned and asked worriedly: "This girl Nishang was born with Nine Yin Mysterious Veins, and she has suffered from cold poison since she was a child.
Since she was two years old, she has come to Jincaiquan for ten days of recuperation every three years.
It's only half a month until three years, so how could her cold poison attack in advance?"
Feng Qingfang explained: "As Nishang grows up, her great talent is becoming apparent, and her strength is improving faster and faster.
But the stronger she is, the more powerful the cold poison becomes.
Even though I have been trying to suppress her skills and realm, her talent is too high.
Even if she doesn't practice much, her level has been rising.
A month ago, she naturally broke through to the first level of the Prince Realm.
The power of the cold poison increased several times, and with her strength, she could no longer suppress it.
Over the past month, she has been suffering from bone-deep pain every day and night..."
Talking about what happened to Feng Nishang, Feng Qingfang felt heartbroken when she thought about how she was only seventeen years old, in her prime, but suffered so much.
Li Xianyun also had a sad face. After thinking for a while, he couldn't restrain his inner worry and said, "How about I go to Jincaiquan to see how she is doing now."
Feng Qingfang glared at him and cursed angrily: "Nishang is seventeen years old this year and is already a eldest daughter.
She was taking a bath in the hot spring to heal her injuries. Why did you go to see her?
There are guards guarding Jincaiquan. When she performs exercises to heal her injuries, the cold poison overflows and no one will come close to her.
Besides, what's the point of going to see it?
It has been more than ten years since I asked you to find someone who possesses the Nine Yang Holy Body in order to solve Ni Chang's cold poison. Have you found the person?"
Li Xianyun was scolded for losing his temper. He scratched his head in embarrassment and defended in a low voice: "The Holy Body has a special physique that is not seen in thousands of years.
What's more, the Nine-Yang Holy Physique is very rare and has a short-lived physique.
Even if there is someone in this world who is pregnant with the Nine-Yang Holy Body, without the help of a top powerhouse to suppress it, it will be difficult for him to survive past the age of twenty, and he is destined to be burned to ashes by the Nine-Yang Holy Fire."
Feng Qingfang also understood this, and other than scolding Li Xianyun for venting his anger, she would not push too hard.
The two were silent for a while, and Feng Qingfang continued: "Xuanyuan Qing, the young master of the Xuanyuan family, do you have any impressions?"
Li Xianyun nodded and said: "That little guy's talent and qualifications are good, but I don't know what his character is.
I heard that he possesses the Heavenly Flame Mysterious Vein, entered the Tao with the fire-based magical power, and has already broken through to the Emperor Realm?"
Feng Qingfang nodded slightly and said: "Yes! Xuanyuan Qing has met Ni Chang several times, and he admires Ni Chang very much and wants to pursue her.
Last year at Nishang's coming-of-age ceremony when she turned sixteen, Xuanyuan Qing even gave her generous gifts and expressed her feelings to Nishang in public."
Hearing this, Li Xianyun frowned and asked, "What happened next? What was Nishang's attitude?"
Feng Qingfang looked calm and said: "Nishang has been tortured all day long, how can she think about love?
No matter how outstanding Xuanyuan Qing is, Nishang is also the young palace master of my Wuji Palace, how can she be moved by Xuanyuan Qing?"
"Well, that's good." Li Xianyun's brows relaxed and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Qingfang glanced at him, and then continued: "However, we have been unable to find the Jiuyang Holy Body, but Nishang cannot delay it any longer.
According to her current situation, even I will not be able to suppress her cold poison soon.
As you said, both the Nine Yin Mysterious Veins and the Nine Yang Holy Body cannot live past the age of twenty..."
Li Xianyun immediately understood what she meant, frowned and asked: "So, what you mean is that you agree to marry Nishang to Xuanyuan Qing?"
