Two Eminent Masters
When Wu Sihai returned, he did not see Wu Bao and the other two. Xuan Nong Chang Hai replied that the three Clan Elder might have gone out and he could not see them. He was afraid that he would not be able to go to the Demon Ghost Domain to pay respects to the Old Ancestor for the time being.
The three family heads, Bi, Jing, and Tan, exchanged thoughtful glances but said nothing. How could three dignified Clan Elder simply disappear like that? Their true motive was a guilty conscience and a fear of seeing Bi Changchun; this was tantamount to a tacit acceptance of their absence. Yue Qianchou sneered coldly, "You're a super villain. I was really worried about leaving you by Wu Lixue's side. I originally planned to take you to the Demon Ghost Domain to kill you, but you didn't go, letting you escape this calamity. Consider yourself lucky."
.
Wu Sihai shook his head somewhat embarrassedly. No amount of tactful words would help; everyone wasn't stupid and understood the underlying meaning. He had indeed just seen Wu Bao, and upon hearing that he was going to see the Old Ancestor, his expression changed repeatedly. Wu Bao finally gritted his teeth and agreed to come, but at the crucial moment, Wu Zhen stopped him. Wu Zhen only said one sentence, "Wu Bao, this journey is likely fraught with danger. After all, we don't share the Bi surname! Listen to your brother, let's leave it at that!"
The atmosphere among them was a bit awkward. Wu Sihai changed the subject, saying, "Yue Qianchou, aren't you going to see Xue'er?"
The matter between Wu Lixue and Yue Nianchou was no secret among the higher-ups of the Four Great Families. Therefore, he asked without hesitation. Of those present, only Ziyi didn't understand what he meant.
Yue Qianchou smiled faintly and said, "Xue'er and I have our own way of contacting each other." He then took out a porcelain bottle and a jade pendant from his Storage Bag and handed them to Wu Sihai, saying, "Please ask Senior Wu to send these two items to the Hundred Flower Fairy of the Hundred Flower Hundred Flower Palace as soon as possible."
Then he took out a jade disc and handed it over, saying, "There are some things recorded in this. There is no risk. Please do as I say, Senior Wu."
"I'll do my best!" Wu Sihai took the items and exchanged glances with the other three family heads. He felt that Yue Qianchou acting strangely today, as if he had come specifically to settle everything.
"Four patriarchs, farewell." Yue Qianchou cupped his hands to the four, and a flying sword shot out from his sleeve, carrying him swiftly away, followed by a purple shadow.
The mountain forest was silent, broken only by the occasional bird call. The four people looked at each other in bewilderment.
High in the sky, the two pierced through clouds and Yue Qianchou's improved cultivation, their flight speed was noticeably faster. The wind ruffled her hair, Ziyi tilted her head, glancing at him repeatedly. The fine lines between her brows suggested she was deep in thought.
Since being with Yue Qianchou, she's found that none of his actions are entirely understandable. They're beyond her comprehension. So she's started trying to think things through, to avoid constantly feeling confused, but it's really hard to figure it out! The more she thinks, the more confused she becomes.
"What did you ask the Wu family patriarch to do for you with the things you just gave him?" Ziyi sadly realized that she might really be a bit stupid and couldn't figure it out, so she had no choice but to ask.
"It's just a small matter Yue Qianchou said dismissively. In his impression, this woman was completely heartless; talking to her was pointless, and he could just give her orders directly when he needed something.
"Liar!" Ziyi protested vehemently, her pretty face turning cold again. Yue Qianchou laughed and turned his head, saying, "Don't think about that now. Think about what my master will ask you when you see him!"
"Ah!" Ziyi was immediately flustered and asked cautiously, "What will Elder Bi ask me? What should I answer if he asks me what I've been doing since I came out?"
"Let me think about it." Yue Qianchou murmured to himself, "After you came out, it seems like you ate a lot, but didn't do much else."
"No!" the woman in Ziyi shouted, interrupting, "You can't say I'm eating!"
"I can't possibly lie to my master!" Yue Qianchou frowned.
"Uh..." Ziyi was taken aback. She really couldn't bring herself to lie to her most admired Elder Bi. Thinking about it carefully, she sadly realized once again that she seemed to eat more often than not; it seemed that whenever she had a moment to herself, her mouth was almost always occupied.
"What should I do! Elder Bi asked me to assist you, but I was too busy eating. If Elder Bi finds out, what will he think of me!" Ziyi grabbed her hair with both hands, looked around blankly, and seemed to be on the verge of collapse, as if she regretted not being able to control her mouth.
"What if he gets so angry that he kills me?" "No way!" Ziyi said, her calm demeanor suddenly turning into a loud roar, startling Yue Qianchou. She glared fiercely at Yue Qianchou and said, "You must come up with a solution for me, otherwise you can forget about going back to Shuntian Island. If you're going to go, you'll have to settle things with Elder Bi first. Otherwise, nobody will be going back."
"Uh..." This stubborn fool actually dares to threaten me? Believe me or not, I can record everything about you right now. "Immediately form an array!" Yue Qianchou paused, then sighed and said, "Forget it, if my master asks you anything, just say you don't know, just pin it on me. My master will ask me then, not you."
"Yes! That's for the best." Ziyi's eyes lit up, her face brightening, but then she noticed Yue Qianchou looking at her Orthodox God. Ziyi thought to herself, "Doing this alone seems a bit too selfish. How can I not share this responsibility?" "Can you handle this all by yourself?"
Yue Qianchou immediately retorted, "How about I make you take the blame?"
"No, no!" The Ziyi waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "You should take the blame! You are Elder Bi's disciple; he won't do anything to you. If he really wants to punish you, as long as I'm alright, I'll ask my master to intercede for you. Don't worry!"
Damn it! Like father, like daughter. At crucial moments, Hai is just like her father! Yue Qianchou was speechless.
The Demon Ghost Domain was shrouded in eerie mist, with various mournful cries rising and falling. The two hadn't gone far when small demons and ghosts began to peek out from below. Upon seeing Yue Qianchou's true face, their gaping, drooling mouths quickly closed, and they buried their heads in terror; the newcomer was not someone they could covet.
Inside the central house on Shuntian Island, a straw mat covered the floor, which had been wiped spotless. Bi Changchun sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, silent and serene, his expression restrained. Beside him lay another person, lying on their side, propping their head up with one hand, while the other hand held a teacup lid, twirling it around.
Who else could be so unrestrained around Zhuo Changchun? Naturally, it would be Mr. Nongzhu, the master of the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest.
The teacup lid clicked shut, and two long, slender, fair fingers tapped it with a "tap-tap" sound. Nong Zhu, bored, raised her head and asked, "Bi Changchun, are you really confident, certain, and certain that Yue Qianchou can protect my daughter?"
Bi Changchun refused to answer the question that had been asked hundreds of times.
Not long after returning from the South China Sea, Nong came running over and has been staying on Shuntian Island ever since. He asks the same questions several times a day, but I haven't seen him cultivate properly at all. Even Bi Changchun is wondering how this guy managed to reach the mid Spirit Transformation stage realm.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Nong Zhu sat up. He took out the flute from his waist, leaned over and asked, "Bi Changchun, you sit here all day without moving, don't you get bored? How about I play a tune for you?"
Bi Changchun's eyes snapped open, staring intently at the face that was so close to his. He said in a deep voice, "If you keep chattering like a woman, I won't hesitate to cripple your cultivation of several hundred years and send you back to the early Spirit Transformation stage."
"Uh," Nong Zhu quickly pulled her head back. Bi Changchun was cold. With another sound, she slowly closed her eyes again. But after a short silence, she opened them again, frowning, and said, "Why are they here? Hmm! Their cultivation has improved again."
"Who?" Nong Zhu jumped up excitedly, "Who's so blind as to trespass on your territory?" He had been bored to death for so long, and today he could finally see some excitement.
"Your precious daughter!" Bi Changchun finally replied to him.
"What? You mean Ziyi is back? When will she arrive?" Nong Zhu's handsome face contorted with excitement, and he immediately released his Divine Sense, rapidly spreading it around the Demon Ghost Domain. However, his cultivation was far inferior to Bi Changchun's, and despite his best efforts, he still couldn't detect her.
However, one thing he could tell was that if he couldn't detect her even with his expanded Divine Sense, it meant his daughter's arrival was still some time away.
Yue Qianchou and Ziyi traversed Thousand Mile Lake and landed directly on the island. Wood Lady Mu also spotted them and was eagerly waiting on the island. Yue Qianchou asked directly, "Is my master here?" Wood Lady Mu nodded slightly, watching the two leave together with some envy.
As soon as the two entered the main room, they saw two experts sitting cross-legged on one side, their postures upright and dignified. Nong Zhu had now completely shed his sparse and unassuming appearance, exuding the aura of a master. Yue Qianchou and Ziyi were both taken aback, not expecting Nong Zhu to be there. The two quickly bowed in greeting.
"Master! Your disciple Min has arrived. Greetings, Senior Nong Zhu!"
"Greetings, Elder Bi! Your disciple pays respects to Master!"
Bi Changchun nodded slightly and gestured for the two of them to sit down. Nong Zhu carefully examined Ziyi from head to toe. Her daughter seemed to have suffered no loss; her face was even slightly fuller, and she looked much better than before.
"Not bad, not bad!" Nong Zhu felt much relieved, and looking at Yue Qianchou again, he seemed more pleasing to the eye. He must have treated his daughter well while she was away.
"Is there something you need to do now that you're back?" Bi Changchun asked.
"I mainly miss my master," Yue Qianchou said respectfully. Suddenly, he noticed Nong Xing roll his eyes in a very disdainful way, so he quickly added, "Secondly, there are some things I need to report to my master. I have some plans and would like to get my master's permission first."
Ziyi, standing to the side, appeared somewhat timid, fearing what questions Bi Changchun might ask her. Nong Zhu, noticing this, glared at Bi Changchun with considerable displeasure. The atmosphere was so serious, and he'd actually frightened my daughter like this! Wow! The incredibly handsome guy cast five Extended Net Moon at once! Goodness! First time seeing that. In my excitement, I promised that even if I'm busy tomorrow, I'll write at least 10,000 words to express my gratitude!!
