Ch248 - Helian Family Dinner

Looking at Jiang Xu who was eating, and Liu Mufeng who was helping to peel the crab shells for Jiang Xu, the other eight people were not interested in eating, but were staring at the two secretly. In fact, cultivators could abstain from food when they reached the Spiritual King Realm, and all the ten people sitting here didn’t need to eat. This so-called dinner party was just a way for the big family to communicate with relatives and friends.

“Fellow Daoist Liu, thank you for saving my niece Xiangyun back then.” Zhou Qian looked at Liu Mufeng gratefully.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou is too polite, it was just a transaction. I did save Miss Zhou back then, but City Lord Zhou also gave me a Golden Spiritual Bead in addition to the rewards. In the final analysis, we had taken advantage of this matter.” Liu Mufeng smiled and replied.

“No, it was Daoist Liu who saved Xiangyun. Fellow Daoist Liu is the benefactor of the Zhou Family.” Zhou Qian said this very seriously.

“But oh, it’s a pity. My two Nieces died not long after they arrived in Lingwu Sect. If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have let them go to the Zunhuang Continent at all.” Zhou Kun sighed again and again.

“Senior Liu, how did my Eldest Sister and Third Sister die? Our Shengtian Continent is too far away from the Zunhuang Continent and a roundtrip takes fifty years, and the sea is full of dangers. Many cultivators traveling most of the time will die at sea halfway. So we just got a few words, you are a disciple of Lingwu Sect, you should know more details, right?” Zhou Xuening asked.

“Oh, this, I don’t know too much. Nephew Zhou should know that I am an alchemist, and your two Sisters were sword cultivators, so we did not study on the same peak. I only know that Junior Sister Zhou Xianglan had died from poisoning. At that time, Junior Sister Helian and two Junior Brothers Ye found me and said they wanted me to help cure Junior Sister Zhou. When I saw Junior Sister Zhou, it was already hopeless. So I advised them to try to hire a Senior Brother who was better at alchemy and medicine. And they did, but later, she couldn’t be saved.” At this point, Liu Mufeng sighed softly.

“She was poisoned to death, does Senior Liu know what kind of poison my Sister was poisoned by?” Zhou Xuening asked again.

Liu Mufeng shook his head. “I don’t know, I couldn’t discern it.”

“Then, how did my Sister get poisoned? Does Senior Liu know?” Zhou Xuening continued to ask.

“I don’t know the details. I just heard from Junior Sister Zhou Xianglan that at that time, Junior Sister Zhou and a few other sword cultivators went to the Sect’s hunting ground to practice. Later, she was poisoned and was sent back by other Senior Brothers. As for how she was poisoned, no one knows. I couldn’t see the cause at the time.” Thinking back, Liu Mufeng replied to the questions.

“Oh, so that’s how it was.” Nodding, Zhou Xuening expressed her understanding.

“Cough cough cough…” Hearing his man talking nonsense with wide-eyes, Jiang Xu choked heavily, while thinking,Mufeng’s ability to lie is really getting better and better!

“En!” Nodding, Jiang Xu took the tea bowl and took a sip.

“Isn’t Lingwu Sect the best sect in the Zunhuang Continent? How could there be spies in it? How could so many people die?” Zhou Xueying was shocked upon hearing this news.

Liu Mufeng smiled wryly. “Niece Zhou, you must know that the Zunhuang Continent is a high-level continent. It looks glamorous but the strong always prey on the weak. The competition is very fierce. Moreover, every sect has spies from other sects. This is a normal thing.”

“There should be a reason for the spies to suddenly kill so many disciples in the sect, right?” Zhou Gan narrowed his eyes, feeling that such a thing should not have happened for no reason.

“There was indeed a reason. However, this matter is an internal secret of the Lingwu Sect, and it is inconvenient for me to disclose it to everyone.” At this point, Liu Mufeng showed an apologetic smile.

“Of course, of course.” Nodding, Zhou Qian expressed his understanding. However, he probably had a guess in his heart. Thinking about it, it should be about some treasures from Lingwu Sect that other sects wanted, so they sent people to sneak into Lingwu Sect to steal the treasure and people were killed in the process. Unfortunately, his Niece died in this melee.

“Nephew Liu, how is Xiaoxiao doing in the sect? Is she okay?” Madam Helian asked worriedly.

“City Mistress, don’t worry, Junior Sister is smart and disciplined, the Elder disciples and Master like Junior Sister very much. Junior Sister lives very well in the sect.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng said so.

“Oh, this is good, this is good.” Madam Helian felt relieved.

“Nephew Liu, the last time you were in the Shengtian Continent, your alchemy skills were already very good. You could even remove Niece Xiangyun’s poison. I wonder if you have a Master in the Shengtian Continent?” Helian Xing asked.

“No, I’m not a native cultivator from the Shengtian Continent. I’m a cultivator from another continent. I learned Alchemy from my Uncle, he was very ordinary, and only a third-level alchemist. Later, I came to the Shengtian Continent by chance, and worked as an alchemist in the Ye family for several years, and learned fourth-level alchemy by myself.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng explained.

“You learned it by yourself?” Helian Xing was shocked by this answer.

“Yes, my ancestors left several inheritances of fourth-level alchemy. I read the inheritance and figured it out myself.” This sentence was indeed true. Before Liu Mufeng went to Lingwu Sect, he was indeed a self-taught alchemist.

Helian Xing nodded repeatedly in admiration. “Nephew Liu’s comprehension is really high. No wonder he could become the proud apprentice of an eighth-level alchemist!”

“Senior Helian is over praising me.”

“Fellow Daoist Liu, since you and Fellow Daoist Jiang have already gone to the Zunhuang Continent, why did you suddenly return to Shengtian Continent?” Zhou Kun was very curious about this.

“Oh, we went out to find opportunities, and when we encountered a time-space storm, we were drawn here.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng said so.

“Ah, so that’s it.” Zhou Kun nodded and said in his heart,Wasn’t this reason too far-fetched?

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, that Bai Feifei and her four Senior Brothers, were you really the ones who killed them?” Helian Tianwen asked uncertainly.

“No, we didn’t kill that many people. Back then, my partner and I went to the Tianqi Mountains to practice and look for opportunities, and Bai Feifei and the other four were also looking for opportunities. Later, the five of them encountered a group of White-Tailed Jackals. That bitch led the trouble of demon beasts to me and my partner. We couldn’t fight those strong beasts, so Mufeng and I used the teleportation talisman to escape. As a result, Wen Qing and Hua Jintang died under the siege of the White-Tailed Jackals. Bai Feifei shamelessly told people that we killed them. They didn’t care about us at all. We are not her Father, why should we wipe her ass and help her kill demon beasts?” Speaking of this matter, Jiang Xu was very upset.

Hearing this, Helian Tianwen nodded. “I really can’t blame you for this matter. You don’t know them, so naturally you don’t want to help them deal with demon beasts”

“Yeah, Fellow Daoist Bai was taking things for granted.” Nodding, Helian Tianqi also said the same thing. Bai Feifei was Bai Xiong’s Youngest Daughter and the only Daughter. Therefore, growing up pampered and spoiled, it was taken for granted that other people should kill demon beasts for her, help her, and curry favor with her.

“Is this how you guys came to have grudges with each other?” Looking at Jiang Xu, Helian Tianwen asked curiously.

“No, Tianqi Mountain was the second time that we met. The first time we met was at sea. Bai Feifei and the other four went to the bottom of the sea to look for sea bluestones, but they provoked a group of Stonefishes. Seeing that they couldn’t get rid of the Stonefishes, they attracted the Stonefishes to the fishing boat that Mufeng and I were on and we had to help them deal with the Stonefishes. Because of this incident, five fishermen on our boat died. If Mufeng had no antidote, everyone in the boat would have died. That Bai Feifei was a bitch, and she liked to run around you with a group of demon beasts.” Jiang Xu was very disgusted as he narrated what happened.

“Stonefishes, that’s too much.” Stonefishes were thousands of times more terrifying than White-Tailed Jackals!

“Hmph! It was not only too much, it was shameless to the extreme. The first time we met, she attracted the Stonefishes to poison us, the second time we met, the White-Tailed Jackals came over to kill us, and the third time we met, Mufeng and I had found a good opportunity, she came and wanted to buy it from us and threatened that if we didn’t sell it to her, she would have us killed. We refused and we went our own way. The fourth meeting, she made true to her threats, she ambushed us on our way with a group of guards trying to kill us, she died at my hands because she asked for it.” Speaking of this woman, Jiang Xu became angry.

“Okay, it’s all old stuff, don’t mention it anymore.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng delivered the prepared crab meat to his lover.

“En!” Lowering his head, Jiang Xu started eating again.

“Nephew Liu, do you have the antidote for Stonefish poison?” Helian Xing asked excitedly.

“Oh, I found ten antidotes in a small secret realm in the early years, but I took them out to save those people back then, and now I don’t have any antidotes in hand.” Liu Mufeng answered calmly.

“So that’s how it is.” Nodding, Helian Xing understood that the antidote might not have been found by Liu Mufeng in some secret realm, but was refined by the other party himself. However, it was obvious that the other party did not want to sell it to him.

The host and guest enjoyed a dinner party. After the meal, everyone went back to their respective courtyards to rest.
