Harmony
Yue Changgui surveyed the commotion, smiled Little Wu Chou, took Xiao Wuchou's hand with one hand, and put his arm around the sobbing Human Path, "This is their own business, we don't need to worry about it." After saying that, he led the mother and son downstairs, giving his eldest son a meaningful glance before leaving. Bai Suzhen also quietly went downstairs.
Yue Qianchou put away his guqin, jumped off the stage, walked to Qu Ping'er's side, stretched out his hand and sighed, "Give me your hand, and I'll see you out."
Upon hearing this, Qu Ping'er snapped out of her daze, biting her lip and hesitating for a long time, but still didn't extend her hand. Yue Qianchou, on the other hand, calmly extended his hand and waited quietly.
"Are you injured?" Qu Ping'er suddenly asked, staring at the bloodstains on his chest.
Yue Qianchou withdrew his outstretched hand, patted his chest, and looked at her with a calm smile, saying, "It's nothing, I just spat out a couple of mouthfuls of blood."
Qu Ping'er's eyes flickered, deliberately avoiding Yue Qianchou's gaze. She bit her lip and said, "You left in such a hurry just now, was there something important?"
"What? Are you willing to listen to my explanation?" Yue Qianchou asked, then didn't press further, not wanting to embarrass her too much. Otherwise, if he angered her, all the show he'd put on earlier would have been for nothing. He changed the subject and explained, "Liu Changqing, the Qingguang Sect Master, wanted to take revenge on me. He found my family in the mortal world. Luckily, I returned in time, otherwise I would never have seen my parents again."
"Ah! Sect Leader? You?" Qu Ping'er exclaimed in surprise. She finally understood why Yue Qianchou had been so angry earlier. No one could disregard their parents' safety. However, she still felt a little wronged.
"Us? We'd naturally start fighting the moment we met." Yue Qianchou chuckled and sneered, "It seems the Qingguang Sect is about to change its leader."
"Ah! What have you done to the sect leader?"
"The Qingguang Sect can't possibly appoint a dead man as its leader, can it?"
"You killed the sect leader?" Qu Ping'er was shocked. She had always been a member of the Qingguang Sect, and the fact that her own man had killed the sect leader was something she found hard to accept.
Yue Qianchou looked at her and smiled, "Hmm! I can see that you've calmed down. There's a saying in the world, 'A woman follows her husband wherever he goes,' and now that you're my woman, I don't want the Qingguang Sect to be more important to you than me. Forget about it! As for your master, I'll bring her here as soon as possible. You should believe that I will definitely keep my promise to you. There's also something very important right now. My parents are also in the Misty Palace. As their daughter-in-law, don't you plan to go down and pay them a visit?"
"Ah! I'm seeing your parents! Your parents are here too? I..." Qu Ping'er was completely flustered, unsure of what to do with her hands and feet. She could only blame herself for not paying attention earlier, otherwise she would have seen them sooner. At this moment, everything about the Qingguang Sect and her master, as well as the grievances she had suffered before, was thrown to the back of her mind. Her expression was full of unease.
"Easy peasy!" Yue Qianchou grinned mischievously, grabbed her hand, and pulled her down, saying, "Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually, let's go!"
"Ah! Am I ugly right now? Wait a minute, look at my face, is it smudged? Is my hair messy? I'd better change my clothes first! Don't hold me back! Please let me tidy myself up first, ah..." Qu Ping'er screamed in terror, struggling, Yue Qianchou ignored her, picked her up by the waist, and carried her on his shoulder.
What happened next was quite interesting. After the introductions, Qu Ping'er stood awkwardly in front of Yue Qianchou's parents, while Little Wu Chou stared wide-eyed at his sister-in-law...
Yue Qianchou decided not to get involved with them. He and Bai Suzhen walked outside the palace and stood on the edge of the cliff, feeling the coolness of dawn and watching the starry sky fade into darkness. Yue Qianchou enjoyed this feeling. When he was alone with Bai Suzhen, his heart was always so peaceful, serene, and free from worries.
"Are you alright?" Bai Suzhen asked calmly, gathering a strand of her hair that had been ruffled by the mountain wind.
Yue Qianchou gazed quietly at the sky, shook his head, and said, "It should be alright now! I've already coaxed and comforted you. If you cause any more trouble, there's nothing I can do."
"This time I've really decided to leave, to get away from those sorrows I haven't understood for so long, to make you forget your worries and cares, to let go of all this turmoil and be free..." Bai Suzhen looked at the sky with him with gentle eyes, her red lips slightly parted, and she began to sing softly.
She had an excellent memory; she could repeat every word perfectly after hearing it once, and she sang beautifully, with a unique charm coming from her lips. Yue Qianchou couldn't help but softly sing along. "That time, your unintentional departure became my unchanging sorrow for so long. Thus, I became indifferent to worldly pleasures and could no longer find joy; thus, I guarded my loneliness, unable to return..."
After the song ended, the two fell silent again. A moment later, Bai Suzhen took out the Azure Nether Sword from her Storage Bag and said, "I have completely erased the Divine Sense in this Azure Nether Sword. Although such Law Treasure is not as good as a spiritual treasure, it still has some spirituality. You can infuse it with your Divine Sense and become its master. By communicating with it more, you should be able to understand its effects, which will be helpful for your future travels."
"Hmm!" Yue Qianchou took the Azure Nether Sword, examining and stroking it closely. The blade was cool and blue-green, with exquisite patterns on it, and the edge gleamed with a cold light, exceptionally sharp. He could now refine some ordinary magical Law Artifact, but he didn't know how such Law Treasure was made.
A Divine Sense slowly flowed into the sword. Suddenly, a faint, mysterious force surged from within, seemingly trying to reject Yue Qianchou's Divine Sense. Yue Qianchou exerted a little Divine Sense and immediately broke through the force of rejection. His Divine Sense smoothly flowed into the sword, and he instantly gained a clear understanding of its internal structure.
Now is not the time to understand it. It's already dawn, and the time agreed upon with Bi Zicong and the others is almost here. Yue Qianchou put the Azure Nether Sword into his Storage Bag and said, "Sister, I'm going to visit the Four Great Families. I don't know if it's convenient for me to come back anytime. I'll leave my family and Qu Ping'er in your care."
"Shall we leave now?"
"First, go check on Guan Yu's injuries, then go to Chen Feng to retrieve a hundred flying swords. The original ones were all destroyed by Liu Changqing."
"Go and tell Qu Ping'er and your parents first!"
Yue Qianchou pondered for a moment and said, "I won't say anything more. Just know it. If they ask, just give them a simple explanation."
"Okay! I understand."
Yue Qianchou smiled at Bai Suzhen, noticing a strand of her hair fluttering in the wind. He reached out and gently tucked it behind her ear. Bai Suzhen gazed calmly at the sky, letting him do as he pleased...
He teleported to Guan Yu's room in the military camp. Guan Yu was sitting cross-legged, healing his wounds. Three Company Commander were guarding him. When Yue Qianchou arrived, they all tried to salute, but he waved them off, indicating that they should not disturb Guan Yu. He then gestured to ask how Guan Yu was doing, and one of the Company Commander waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. Yue Qianchou nodded, and in front of the men, changed out of his blood-stained clothes and left reassured.
Upon reaching the depths of the valley, they found themselves in Chen Feng's territory. The treasures originally stored there had been moved to a secret chamber long ago, once the Misty Palace was built. The entrance to the chamber was inside Bai Suzhen's room, and no one except Yue Qianchou and Bai Suzhen could enter. Chen Feng was currently engrossed in alchemy, his disheveled appearance somewhat Guan Wei Wu's imposing presence. Yue Qianchou decided not to disturb him, instructing two men to fetch a hundred flying swords. When he reappeared, he was already back in his room within the Cultivation Alliance.
When bidding farewell to Quan Deming, Yue Qianchou naturally received some advice and admonitions, which he accepted with humility. Afterwards, he strolled leisurely to the Bi family's shop, where Bi Zicong and his three companions were already waiting for him. The five of them left Hundred Flower Valley, and Bi Zicong released a flying magical Law Artifact that carried them away into the sky...
