The Immortal's Past; Sushang Eavesdrops! / Fu Hua's Scheme?

As for the sects established by some traitors ten years ago, there's no need to say more; they're just a bunch of nobodies!

Ling Xi originally didn't intend to pay them any attention, but two stubborn sects still came looking for trouble, and then...

I first taught them what it means to "make the best of a situation since we're here," and then I taught them what it means to "if I hear the truth in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

In the end, all six disciples' sects disappeared, the Tai Xu Sword Qi was completely lost, and Mount Tai Xu became a forbidden area for the martial arts world and even the Ming court!

Therefore, Fu Hua is now the only person who can teach Li Sushang the Tai Xu Sword Qi.

"Ling Xi".

Fu Hua hesitated for a moment, then said, "You asked me to teach Sushang because of the Tai Xu Sword Qi, right?"

"Um."

Ling Xi nodded silently and smiled, "After all, you're the only one who can teach Sushang the Tai Xu Sword Qi right now."

"Hoo... I understand."

Fu Hua nodded and said, "However, my Sword Heart is also shattered at this moment. Although it can be slowly rebuilt, I am not sure if I can teach her well."

"Don't worry, it will definitely work!"

As soon Fu Hua agreed, Ling Xi smiled confidently and said, "Sushang's talent is absolutely top-notch, so Hua, you don't need to worry. As long as you teach her seriously, Su Sushang will definitely be able to learn."

"Since that's the case, then so be it."

Since Ling Xi was so confident, Fu Hua naturally had no further objections, but she still glanced at Li Sushang, seemingly asking for her opinion!

"Sushang, is there a problem?"

Ling Xi also asked Li Sushang a question directly.

"No problem, Master!"

Li Sushang immediately nodded to indicate that there was no problem, and then looked at Fu Hua and said respectfully, "Ancestor Chiyuan, please guide me in the future."

"Yes, Sushang, I will do my best to teach you!"

Fu Hua nodded in agreement. She would not hold back at all when it came to Li Sushang!

Ling Xi "..."

"I told you, don't call me master."

Ling Xi was having a bit of a headache. After all, this girl was calling him "Master" on one hand and "Grandmaster Fu Hua" on the other. What the hell... I've become Fu Hua's junior out of nowhere?

"Hehe, no way! I want it! A teacher for a day is a father for life!"

Li Sushang smiled mischievously. Although Ling Xi hadn't formally accepted her as a disciple, in her heart, Ling Xi was her master, the kind of master that no one could replace and no one could take away!

"Oh, so a teacher for a day is a father for life? Then..."

Ling Xi smiled strangely and said to Li Sushang, "Little Li Zi, come here, call me 'Dad' and let me hear it. Oh, and remember to give me a Father's Day present."

Li Sushang: "..." I'll just use Frostmourne right away!

"Pooh..."

Li Sushang spat out a curse.

"Oh..."

Ling Xi chuckled lightly, not caring about Li Sushang's disdainful look. Just wait, one day I'll make you kneel on the ground crying and calling me daddy!

Fu Hua: "..." Dad...

Why does this guy like being called that? Come to think of it... back when Cangxuan Danzhu was around, I think I heard them call him that before, um...

Never mind, it's none of my business!

"Hua, you've just woken up. If anything feels wrong with your body, remember to tell me!"

Finally, Ling Xi inquired about Fu Hua's health and said with a smile, "Also, you should rest well these next few days. Don't rush the matter of the Tai Xu Sword Qi; take it slowly."

Ling Xi was worried that Immortal Fu Hua agreed now, she would take Li Sushang to training in the afternoon, which was not a good thing!

After all, she has only been awake for less than two hours. Let Fu Hua rest a little longer before we talk about it!

After all, Li Sushang is still young, so it's not too late to wait three to five years for her to learn the Tai Xu Sword Qi before putting her into hibernation.

"Okay!"

Fu Hua didn't try to be brave. She smiled and nodded. Indeed, she had only just woken up, and her body hadn't fully recovered. The Honkai Energy within her was even more so, still only slowly recovering. So...

Then take a few days off, consider it a vacation for yourself.

Chapter 579: The Immortal's Past, Su Chang's Sushang!

"So, milk tea is still the best, isn't it?"

In the afternoon, Ling Xi stayed in the room with Fu Hua as usual. After all, they hadn't seen each other for so long, and they must have a lot to talk about.

"Hmm, the taste of milk tea... Come to think of it, it's been over four thousand years since I've tasted it."

Fu Hua smiled and nodded. The last time she drank milk tea was indeed over four thousand years ago. Before Ling Xi left, she had left her many supplies, but...

Even if Ling Xi leaves behind a lot, she can't maintain it all herself. Food expires in a year or two, and tools and equipment can only last for a little over ten years at most.

After Cangxuan Danzhu fell into a deep sleep, he had been spending his time alone ever since.

"You've really worked hard, Hua."

Ling Xi was also somewhat moved, Shenzhou alone for over four thousand years, all by himself...

To be honest, those five years wandering the martial world had already gradually made my personality cold and indifferent. If it weren't for waiting for Fu Hua to awaken, I would have even considered going back to headquarters to sleep, because...

Being alone is truly lonely, especially in this era without the internet; a person really can only be alone.

Fortunately, Li Sushang's appearance changed her mindset. Staying alone for too long can really make you sick, both mentally and physically, and even change your mentality and personality.

Therefore, Ling Xi clearly understands how difficult it was for Fu Hua to Shenzhou alone for four thousand years!

As for why Fu Hua still chooses to take on apprentices, I can understand it now!

After all, he had wanted to take Li Sushang under his wing for less than a year. Although he hadn't officially accepted her yet, it was only in name. In reality, she could already be considered his apprentice.

"It's alright."

Fu Hua smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I haven't spent these four thousand years entirely alone. After all, I have Little Xuan with me... well, I should say, the Book of Cangxuan."

"The Book of Cangxuan..."

Ling Xi naturally knew this little darling doll, and asked, "When... roughly did she fall into a deep sleep?"

"Probably... the late Tang Dynasty."

Fu Hua could only give a general answer, after all, six or seven hundred years had passed.

"By the way, Ling Xi, can you... wake up Little Xuan?"

Fu Hua hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question. Although Ling Xi was now here, and she no longer needed the Book of Cangxuan with her, but...

That little guy has been with me for over three thousand years. To say I have no feelings for him... do you believe it?

Therefore, if possible, Fu Hua still hopes to awaken the Book of Cangxuan.

"I do have energy cores here for use with Armed Doll."

Ling Xi didn't keep them in suspense. She stroked her chin and calmly said, "So if the core of the Book of Cangxuan is intact and the machine doesn't have any critical malfunctions, then it can indeed be awakened."

"Very good..."

Upon hearing Ling Xi's answer, even the usually composed Fu Hua couldn't help but get excited and immediately said, "I've placed Little Xuan in a secret room at the foot of the mountain. It's not the secret room Qin Suyi found, but a secret room I use to store special items. I'll go and bring Little Xuan back in a bit."

"Okay, let's go together later."

Ling Xi smiled and said, "After all, it's been over four thousand years since we last strolled around together. By the way, Hua, how about we go for a walk in town tonight? I heard that when you lived in the mountains, you were practically a super homebody who wouldn't come down for years?"

Fu Hua "..."

"That's because there's no need for it!"

Fu Hua shook her head and said, "I don't know when it started, but humans gave me the title of immortal, which makes it easy for me to cause trouble every time I go down the mountain. At the same time, many people who want to gain without effort come looking for me, and I can't very well attack mortals, so..."

"Going down the mountain is a hassle."

"Forehead..."

After hearing Fu Hua's answer, Ling Xi roughly understood why Fu Hua liked the "Spring Never Ends with Steamed Buns" dessert...

After all, these two things are easy to make and have a variety of flavors.

"Let's talk about it later."

Ling Xi waved his hand and smiled, "Moreover, the Immortal Crimson Kite of Shenzhou hasn't shown himself for twenty years, and the teleportation about the immortal has gradually dissipated. Perhaps..."

Ling Xi looked at Fu Hua and smiled slightly, "In another ten or twenty years, immortals will truly just be a legend and a story."

"I hope so too..."

Fu Hua sighed and then slowly told Ling Xi about what had happened over the years. Because she Shenzhou from the Honkai of the Shenzhou over the years, people had developed a weak habit. Just like when Ling Xi defeated the Third Herrscher, they thought that since they had a guardian, humanity did not need to work hard!

Thus, after the Book of Cangxuan fell into slumber, Fu Hua reduced the number of times she appeared in public, and she simply couldn't be bothered with minor problems. In one of the weakest dynasties, it was precisely because Fu Hua did not want to interfere that the alien races occupied the Shenzhou!

More than a hundred years ago, people who had experienced nearly a century of darkness finally awakened again. One of them, guided by himself, restored the orthodox tradition of Shenzhou. Fu Hua, on the other hand, went into seclusion on Mount Tai Xu and basically stayed out of worldly affairs.

As for the war between Schicksal and the Ming Empire decades ago, it was because Fu Hua sensed the aura of the Honkai and that the other side possessed the Divine Key, so she chose to take action to prevent outside interference in Shenzhou!

It was because of that one move that his inner demons grew stronger and stronger, bringing him to the brink of collapse, and in the end... the Seven Swords surrounded and killed him.

"I'm sorry, Hua, perhaps... I should have come to find you sooner."

After hearing Fu Hua's story, Ling Xi's feelings were incredibly complicated. Perhaps... if she had woken up sooner and found Fu Hua immediately, the tragedy might have been averted. But...

In his juvenile form, he had limited access to Honkai Energy, and given his circumstances at the time, it was impossible for him to take Yae Sakura and Yae Rin with him, although he could forcibly take them away...

However, given Rin's condition at the time, let alone a long journey, she couldn't even go a little further. If he forcibly took her away, it would be no different from killing her!

However, if I don't take them with me and leave alone, what if Yae Village starts practicing theocracy again? And then...

It's possible that not only Fu Hua couldn't be saved, but Yae Rin also be lost!

Moreover, unlike in the original story, according to the timeline I'm currently experiencing, the Seven Swords had already made their move the year I awoke...

"Heh, it's alright, after all... it was my choice."

Fu Hua shook her head and smiled, "Besides, didn't you just say that although we've been through a lot, at least the ending was good?"

"Yeah... yeah."

Ling Xi nodded seriously and smiled, "However, Hua, from now on I will accompany you. This time I won't leave you alone again!"

"Yes, I know..."

Fu Hua smiled too; the future... will definitely be better!

"Whoosh..."

However, it wasn't just Ling Xi who was shocked by Fu Hua's experience; a girl who happened to be passing by and was just eavesdropping was also incredibly surprised. So... the legend of the immortals was true!

Chapter 580: Immortal Fu Hua's Scheme?

Li Sushang hid by the door, quietly listening to the conversation between the two people inside. She seemed to have heard something about Yang Mi, an immortal... it wasn't just a legend!

Damn it, Master keeps telling me to believe in science. You think believing in science will allow me to live for thousands of years? And...

Master just mentioned that it's been over four thousand years since he last went shopping with Grandmaster. So, in that case...

Damn, so my master is also an old monster over four thousand years old?

Damn it, he's clearly over four thousand years old, yet he pretended to be eighteen to deceive me, a sixteen-year-old newbie, and I even fell for him myself in the end...

Mmm...

Oh well, I don't regret it anyway. After all... even though my master is four thousand years old, he's still so handsome. And for these two, there doesn't seem to be any difference between being several thousand years old and being a few decades old.
