Going Home with Sushang. / Master, You're Not Going to Use This Chance to Dump Me, Are You?

After listening, Ling Xi nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "That's no problem. Fu Hua, what kind of Divine Key do you want? I have several prototypes here..."

Upon hearing that it was for Qin Suyi, Ling Xi naturally agreed without hesitation. After all, she was Li Sushang's mother and also his... well, his dearest junior nephew!

So, it's perfectly reasonable for an elder to give a gift to their junior apprentice, isn't it?

In short, Ling Xi not only had no objection to making Pseudo Divine Key for Qin Suyi, but also agreed with it. Moreover, Fu Hua had just said that she was going to take away Qin Suyi's Divine Key, and if there was no compensation, Fu Hua would probably feel a little guilty.

After all, Qin Suyi was only caught up in the Seven Swords affair, and she later redeemed herself by saving Fu Hua's body!

"Finished talking?"

When Ling Xi returned to her room, Li Sushang was still there, lying on Ling Xi's bed playing on her phone, seemingly never having gotten out of bed.

"Little Li Zi, you didn't leave?"

Ling Xi was somewhat surprised to see that Li Sushang was still in her room, because normally, once she left, Li Sushang would also leave, either to cultivate or to attend to her own affairs.

"What, you don't like me? Humph, then I'll leave."

Upon hearing Ling Xi speak of her in such a way, Li Sushang immediately became furious and tried to get out of bed and leave.

"No, no, no, I was wrong."

Ling Xi quickly hugged her, and then the two sat back on the bed. She smiled and said, "I'm just happy to see you still here. How could I dislike you? I wish you could stay here forever."

"Yeah?"

Li Sushang immediately looked at Ling Xi with a mischievous smile and whispered, "Then... can I stay here tonight?"

Ling Xi "..."

"Cough cough."

Ling Xi coughed lightly and calmly said, "Sushang, men and women should not touch each other. You are a girl, you should learn to be reserved."

"Um?"

Li Sushang didn't answer, but just looked down at Ling Xi's claws on her front armor, which were even moving slightly. Men and women shouldn't touch each other? Damn it, you're the least qualified person in the whole world to say that, okay?

"Uh... cough cough, sorry, it's an occupational hazard."

Ling Xi offered a half-hearted apology, but her actions showed no sign of restraint.

Li Sushang: "..." Occupational hazard?

Um... would you mind revealing your profession? Don't worry, I promise I won't call the police, because people like that should be shot on sight!

Chapter 584: Accompanying Sushang home.

"Mmm, I'm finally home again."

A few days later, Ling Xi and his two companions arrived at the Memory Sword Manor. Seeing her familiar home, Li Sushang was in high spirits, as she hadn't been home for several years.

"Is this Su Yi's home?"

Fu Hua silently surveyed the manor before her; this was her first time visiting her disciple's home.

"Yes, Grandmaster."

Li Sushang said happily, "My house is very big. Although it doesn't have as many fun things as Master's house, it's very spacious. Grandmaster, shall we stay here a little longer?"

"Heh, you'll have to ask your master about that."

Fu Hua simply smiled and did not make a decision on her own. After all, after Ling Xi woke up, she actually preferred to put Ling Xi first.

"Master?"

Li Sushang then turned to look at Ling Xi.

"Well, we'll see."

Ling Xi simply smiled and nodded, not rejecting Li Sushang's suggestion, after all...

This trip home might be the last time Li Sushang goes home, or at least the second to last time!

After that, Li Sushang should enter a period of hibernation.

Moreover, Ling Xi came here this time to inform Li Sushang's family that she was going to take Li Sushang away.

"Hehe, Master is the best."

Li Sushang smiled happily, then went straight to the front and knocked on the door. "Mother, I'm back!"

"Sushang?"

Soon, the door opened, and Qin Suyi looked at Li Sushang with a smile, then subconsciously glanced at Ling Xi behind Li Sushang, and then...

"Master... Master?"

Qin Suyi, who had gone out to greet Ling Xi and Li Sushang, was terrified when she saw Fu Hua dressed in white...

"Yes, Su Yi, it's been a long time, you've grown up too."

Fu Hua looked at Qin Suyi with a slight smile on her face.

"Master..."

After confirming that she was not hallucinating, Qin Suyi immediately bowed respectfully to Fu Hua, feeling extremely shocked and also a little afraid.

The shock was naturally because Master had actually been resurrected. Was this... an immortal?

And fear...

Needless to say, after all, although I was caught up in what happened back then, I still made that wrong choice in the end.

"There's no need for Su Yi."

Fu Hua remained calm and said, "I already know the whole story. Ling Xi has already taken care of what happened back then, so Su Yi, you don't need to worry."

"Thank you, Master..."

Hearing Fu Hua say this, Qin Suyi's unease eased slightly, although...

She was not afraid of death. Even if Fu Hua really wanted to kill her, she would not have any complaints, after all, it was her own choice!

However, she feared that her family would also be implicated, especially her daughter...

In reality, the reason why she kept Li Sushang by Ling Xi's side with such pain back then, besides the reasons she mentioned at the time, was that she hoped that in the future, if her master wanted to settle scores, she could at least let Li Sushang go for Ling Xi's sake!

Unexpectedly... after his master awoke, he didn't blame him. This...

I guess it's because of Ling Xi.

"Mother, let's go home first."

Seeing the atmosphere turn cold again, Li Sushang wisely offered her suggestion.

"Okay..."

Qin Suyi then realized what was happening and immediately said respectfully to Fu Hua, "Master, Uncle-Master, please..."

"Um..."

Fu Hua was neither polite nor arrogant, and entered Memory Sword Manor under Qin Suyi's guidance.

"Master..."

Li Sushang walked over to Ling Xi and asked curiously, "Is there some kind of grudge between my grandmaster and my mother?"

Actually, Li Sushang had been curious about this for a long time, and she had asked her mother about it when she went home, but... her mother wouldn't say, and she didn't feel comfortable asking Ling Xi!

Now, Li Sushang couldn't hold back any longer; he was just too curious.

"Um..."

Ling Xi nodded silently and said, "Your mother once did the same thing to your master, and even tried to kill him."

"Killing his master?"

Li Sushang was stunned for a moment, then remembered that a few days ago she had tried to kill Ling Xi, but in the end Ling Xi had forced her to kiss him...

"Master, we're talking about serious matters..."

Clearly, Li Sushang did not believe Ling Xi's words, because she knew that her mother was not that kind of person. Respecting teachers and valuing the Way was her mother's character. Rebellion... impossible. Besides, if she always wanted to rebel, it was all Ling Xi's fault. Who told her that her master was so handsome?

"There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."

Ling Xi ruffled Li Sushang's hair and said with a smile, "Let's go."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Li Sushang pursed her lips, but still affectionately took Fu Hua's arm and followed the two into the villa.

"Master, please have some tea."

In the main hall of the Memory Sword Manor, Qin Suyi instructed her servants to bring in the finest tea, and then personally poured a cup for Fu Hua.

"Master, do you want it?"

Li Sushang glanced back at Ling Xi, knowing that her master disliked tea and preferred Happy Water, and of course, she felt the same way.

"Let's drink..."

Ling Xi didn't stand on ceremony and picked up a cup for herself. Although she didn't like drinking it, she still needed to go through the motions.

As for why wealthy families in ancient times liked to serve tea to their guests, well... it was actually a way of "showing off" their wealth!

After all, resources were scarce in ancient times, and hot water required a lot of firewood, which ordinary families simply couldn't afford. Even when cooking, they would often cook one meal for the whole day to save firewood. As for drinking hot water every day...

Ha, you wouldn't dare do that unless you're rich. Even in the future, Shenzhou didn't implement "free drinking water" until around the 1980s or 90s.

Therefore, serving hot tea to guests is indeed a way of "showing off wealth," but it also represents respect for the guests, and incidentally...

If the conversation doesn't go well, you can casually throw something in the other person's face.

"I have come in Su Yi for the sake of the Xuanyuan Sword!"

Fu Hua didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly stated the purpose of her trip. After all, she wasn't the type to like formalities or beating around the bush, both in the Previous Era and now!

"The Xuanyuan Sword?"

Qin Suyi paused for a moment, then immediately took the calligraphy brush from her waist; this was one of the Xuanyuan Sword, "Ink Dye Fragrance".

"Master, this is the Ink Dye Fragrance you bestowed upon your disciple!"

As Qin Suyi spoke, she respectfully handed the calligraphy brush to Fu Hua. Although it was a weapon that had been with her for many years,...

If your master won't give it to you, you can't take it. After all, it was originally bestowed by Fu Hua. Logically speaking, Ling Xi should have taken it back ten years ago, but he still kept it for himself until now.

Chapter 585: Master, you wouldn't take this opportunity to dump me, would you?

"Indeed, this is Ink Dye Fragrance!"

Fu Hua casually picked up the calligraphy brush and tossed it directly to Ling Xi.

Ling Xi "..."

Ling Xi had no choice but to put it into the System Space, and then she saw Qin Suyi's somewhat conflicted look, and...

Li Sushang's expression suggested she wanted to say something, but also seemed hesitant to speak...

"Smack!"

"The Pseudo Divine Key, activate!"

Ling Xi didn't waste any words. He snapped his fingers and summoned the Pseudo Divine Key he had made, then handed it directly to Fu Hua.

"The Xuanyuan Sword is no longer suitable for you. From now on, you will use this."

Fu Hua calmly handed the Pseudo Divine Key that Ling Xi had given her to Qin Suyi, adding, "This sword is no less powerful than Ink Dye Fragrance's. I hope you will use it well."

"Yes, Master. Thank you..."

Qin Suyi quickly thanked Fu Hua and took the new sword from him. Indeed... in terms of power, this sword seemed to be more powerful than her previous Ink Dye Fragrance, but...

Why does it feel so similar to Sushang's weapon?

Of course, the resemblance mentioned here does not refer to physical appearance, but rather to the aura and feeling.

"Ling Xi, let's go."
