Ma Liang's Letter from Home
Chu Xinghe hadn't studied formations with the vice sect leader for several days in a row.
It's not that I didn't work hard, nor that I was slacking off; it's just that the vice sect leader went into seclusion for some reason...
You know, this sect leader is something else. Why did he choose to go into seclusion when everything was fine?
I finally want to learn something, isn't this going to disrupt my learning progress?
Left with no other choice, Chu Xinghe could only wander around the sect.
Everything else was fine, but Chu Xinghe dared not go even a step into the top-tier mansion that was specially built for Sister-in-law Jiuli and was ultimately named Heavenly Crow Manor.
I heard that the day after the wedding, Sister-in-law Jiuli personally cooked a grand opening banquet.
However, Sister-in-law Jiuli warmly invited the chief elders of each palace, as well as the sect leader and deputy sect leader.
I heard that the head elders of each palace were so frightened on the spot that they went into seclusion, and the sect leader claimed to be unwell...
Even Senior Sister Nangong, who is always closest to Sister Jiuli, claimed that she was still suffering from poisoning.
Chu Xinghe himself went directly to the Medicine King Palace and refined more than a thousand batches of pills to escape this calamity.
In the end, it was said that only the Ouyang Lineage and the Dark Moon Clan bravely kept their promise...
Whether the banquet ended well for both hosts and guests is unknown, but ever since then, the Dark Moon Clan hasn't dared to approach the Heavenly Crow Manor...
Death itself is not frightening; what is truly terrifying is being in the space between death and immortality.
It's been several days since Sister-in -Jiuli started to let loose. I haven't seen Senior Brother Feng Fei for several days now.
After all, the Wuj iang woman is so virtuous, wouldn't Sister-in-law Jiuli have to show off all her skills to Senior Brother Feng Fei?
Look how envious the Ouyang Lineage is, they're practically drooling.
Ouyang Ming even publicly expressed his envy of his Senior Brother Feng Fei, saying that one should marry a wife like Sister-in-law Jiuli, who would have plenty of delicious food at every meal.
Since the wedding ended today, almost all the stewards from various parties have left the Vast Heaven Sect.
Qin Xiangqian made a special trip to see Senior Brother Xinghe told him on the spot that he would rest assured that Senior Brother Xinghe Tianyi Spirit Mine would reach new heights this year and would live up to Senior Brother Xinghe's high expectations.
Chu Xinghe almost couldn't resist slapping Qin Xiangqian for his tendency to say discouraging things at the slightest disagreement.
However, while Qin Xiangqian left, Tieniu did not.
The reason is that Tieniu has recently become obsessed, crying and shouting every day that turning stones into gold is meaningless... I've already mastered the art of turning stones to perfection... I can't even break through my limits!
My goal is to make spirit stones automatically upgrade!
Listen to this! Is this something a human being should say?
When you, Wang Tieniu, said such things, did you consider the feelings of other master craftsmen across the world?
Have you considered Senior Brother Xinghe's feelings?
Besides, is the idea of automatically upgrading spirit stones even conceived by a human brain?
What do you think spirit stones are? You want to create an automated upgrade system? Are you kidding me?
However, it's good news that Tieniu isn't trying to make stones anymore. So Chu Xinghe immediately expressed his approval of Tieniu and encouraged Tieniu, saying that everything is difficult at the beginning and that he shouldn't give up on himself because of a little setback. He added that Tie Niu should be responsible for causing trouble, and his Senior Brother Xinghe would take the blame for him.
Besides Tieniu, Mu Bai and the others are also somewhat mentally unstable.
A group of people from the Muyue Kingdom stopped refining medicine and spent their days studying medicinal herbs in the spirit fields.
Chu Xinghe took a look when he had a spare moment. They were all using their Wood Spirits to cultivate various spiritual herbs. At this point, all sorts of random spiritual herbs were almost ruined by the people of the Muyue Kingdom.
Has anyone ever seen a single herb grow three or four different medicinal herbs?
Who taught Mu Bai and the others their grafting techniques?
Although the emergence of grafting technology caused Chu Xinghe a moment of panic, regarding Mu Bai's so-called intelligent alchemy idea, Chu Xinghe said, "Please continue causing trouble..."
Even if you can ruin the elixirs, does your Muyue Kingdom think your refining furnace can automatically control the spiritual fire?
This is a project that is impossible to succeed at all. Please, Muyue Kingdom, do more projects like this... Senior Brother Xinghe is very pleased.
Muyue Kingdom and Tieniu's reckless behavior earned high praise from Senior Brother Xinghe, who stated that scientific research is the most difficult thing, but the Future lies before them, and they should not give up just because they have consumed a little bit of resources today.
What wonderful junior brothers they are... They don't even need Senior Brother Xinghe to remind them; they all know how to squander the sect's resources on their own.
If all disciples of the sect were like you, how could the sect not perish, or how could a new Vast Heaven Sect not be established!
The only thing that gave Chu Xinghe a lot of trouble was Ma Liang.
After Ma Liang, who claimed to be Senior Brother Xinghe, joined forces with Lu Chengqing, they completely ruined the Fengdu Grand Formation.
All sorts of amazing fantasy movies are popping up one after another... Ma Liang's unconventional ideas opened up a whole new world for Lu Chengqing.
Lu Chengqing transforms into a screenwriter of melodramatic soap operas, where all sorts of ridiculously absurd plots unfold one after another. Although the plots are melodramatic, the effects of the Fengdu Grand Formation are so explosive that the various melodramatic dramas manage to get many viewers' blood pumping.
With the Tribute Ranking in hand, Lu Chengqing seemed determined not to stop until all the big shots in the world offered their respect.
On this day, Lu Chengqing and Ma Liang were discussing the new time-travel drama "I Come from Ancient Times," and their discussion of the plot was in full swing when Senior Brother Shen Chun suddenly jumped out from some unexpected corner.
"Junior Brother Ma Liang, there's a letter from home."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Shen Chun!" Ma Liang happily accepted the letter from Senior Brother Shen Chun.
Disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect spend most of their time cultivating within the sect and don't have much time to go home, so they rely mostly on letters from home to stay in touch with their families.
The sect always delivers letters from home to its disciples as soon as possible, and disciples are also allowed to send letters home at specific times each month.
While chatting happily with Lu Chengqing about the script, Ma Liang slowly opened the letter from home. But the moment he opened it, Ma Liang froze on the spot, so much so that even when Lu Chengqing Ma Liang him several times, Ma Liang didn't respond.
Lu Chengqing was extremely astute; he immediately knew that there must be something important in the letter from home.
Lu Chengqing asked Ma Liang what was wrong, but Ma Liang shook his head without saying a word. However, Lu Chengqing saw a murderous intent in Ma Liang's eyes!
Before Lu Chengqing could ask another question, Ma Liang got up Fengdu Token...
Looking at Ma Liang, whose eyes were bloodshot and who exuded murderous intent, Lu Chengqing knew that something must have happened in Ma Liang's family, but since Ma Liang wouldn't say, there was nothing he could do.
Back at the Dark Moon Palace, Chu Xinghe had just finished advising the Great Sage not to be too busy cultivating and perfecting his techniques. The Dark Moon Clan had been sealed away for so many years; now that they were finally free, they should relax a bit...
Please give me Chu Xinghe, more time... This is too hard for me...
But as soon as Chu Xinghe came out of the Dark Moon Palace, he encountered Ma Liang, whose eyes were bloodshot. Before Chu Xinghe could figure out what was wrong with Ma Liang suddenly knelt down in front of him.
Holy crap!
What the heck is this?
Did Ma Liang have a change of heart?
Although you've betrayed Senior Brother Xinghe so many times, there's no need for such a grand gesture... I, Senior Brother Xinghe less often, and cause more trouble for the sect in the future, I'll forgive you, okay...
They rushed over to help Ma Liang up from the ground, but Ma Liang remained kneeling and refused to get up no matter what.
Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded... Ma Liang, what are you trying to do?
Soon, when Ma Liang delivered the letter from home, Chu Xinghe learned of it.
This letter was very simple; at first glance, it appeared to be a letter announcing a death, stating that Ma Liang's sister had died a few days earlier due to complications during childbirth, resulting in the loss of both mother and child...
But Chu Xinghe knew that this letter home was probably not so simple.
Normally, such a letter should have been sent by Ma Liang's parents or brothers, but the signature on this letter was that of one of Ma Liang's sister's maids.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, when a loved one dies, Ma Liang's face should show more sorrow or disbelief, but at this moment, Ma Liang's expression... If you were to say he could eat people, Chu Xinghe would absolutely believe it.
"What exactly happened? Get up and speak!"
Chu Xinghe handed the letter back to Ma Liang, and at the same time pulled Ma Liang up from the ground.
Ma Liang stood there stunned for a full minute before slowly opening his mouth and telling the whole story.
Ma Liang's older sister was his eldest sister and the eldest daughter of the Ma Liang Ma Lineage. The Ma Lineage was located in the Great Moon Kingdom and was a powerful and prestigious family in the Great Moon Kingdom, a fact that Chu Xinghe knew.
Ma Liang's mother died early, and his eldest sister, Ma Zhen, was the one who loved Ma Liang the most since childhood. However, Ma Liang's eldest sister was not as lucky Ma Liang.
From a young age, she became the link between the Ma Lineage and the Great Moon Imperial Clan through marriage. Many years ago, she became the concubine of the current monarch of Dayue. People say that once you enter the royal family, it's like entering a deep sea. Ma Liang knows that his eldest sister may seem glamorous on the surface, but she is actually not happy behind the scenes.
But my sister always says it's her fate...
When Ma Liang entered the Vast Heaven Sect, his sister personally saw him off. On that day, Ma Liang secretly told his sister, "I, Ma Liang, will one day become a person of high status. I, Ma Liang, will one day take you away from that palace and let you pursue the life you want."
After a long separation, Ma Liang has grown from an ordinary disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect to who he is today. Ma Liang believes that even if he is not the most outstanding young generation in the world, he is definitely a rare talent.
As long as I continue to work hard, in a few years, when I return to the Great Moon Kingdom, it will be the day my sister is reborn.
But Ma Liang never dreamed that he would receive such a letter from home today.
My sister is dead... two lives lost... This letter wasn't sent by my father or brothers, but by my sister's maid. Ma Liang isn't stupid; if it were truly a natural death, there's no reason for my sister's maid to deliver the letter to him.
Therefore, there must be something fishy about this matter, and only in this way could such a special family letter appear.
Although the letter stated that the investigation revealed his sister's death to be an accident, Ma Liang simply could not accept this conclusion!
Having grown up in a wealthy family and dealing with royalty, how could Ma Liang not know about those sordid affairs?
Ma Liang never dreamed this would happen to his sister. The reason he chose to go directly to Senior Brother Xinghe Ma Liang of seeking help from the sect elders today was because Ma Liang simply didn't believe in any nonsense about accidents...
Ma Liang had only one thought in his mind: no matter who it was, no matter how powerful their backing was, his sister's life must be paid for in blood!
