Ch468 - Back to Hai City

Edited by Zaki

Xuanyuan Chen nodded when he saw Liu Mufeng’s family of three coming back together. “En, it’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you are all back, no need to be polite, all of you sit down.”

“Thank you, Sect Master.” After thanking him in a low voice, Liu Mufeng and Liu Xuan sat on the chairs.

“Master.” Raising his head, Jiang Xu looked at his Master.

“You brat, you’re finally back.” Xuanyuan Chen smiled as he raised his hand and rubbed the top of Jiang Xu’s head. After seven hundred years, his young apprentice was finally back. In the past seven hundred years, no one hugged his thigh, no one was angry with him, and no one pestered him to learn swordsmanship. His life was really a bit miserable.

“Master.” Jiang Xu called softly.

“Get up. Hug my legs when you are leaving, and hug me again when you come back. Do you even look like a Sect Elder? Aren’t you afraid that the guards and maidservants at the door will laugh at you?” Xuanyuan Chen said lovingly.

Jiang Xu got up from the ground and snorted unconvinced. “They are all in the Spiritual King Realm and Spiritual Master Realm. I can crush them to death with just one finger. Who dares to laugh at me?” As he said that, Jiang Xu looked at the two Spiritual King Realm guards at the door and the two maidservants who were at Spiritual Master Realm.

“I don’t dare.” With a pop, the two maidservants hurriedly knelt down.

“I don’t dare.” The guards also knelt down.

“Okay, we don’t need you here. Just go and do whatever you need to do.” Jiang Xu waved his hand and motioned for the four of them to leave.

“This…” Hearing this, the four of them glanced at Xuanyuan Chen.

“Everyone, please step aside. I will call you when I need you.” Xuanyuan Chen said lightly after waving his hand.

“Master, how do you know?” Jiang Xu blinked and asked with confusion as he thought:That Xue Yan has a Crystal Mirror, does Master also have such a thing? Can he know where we have been and what we have done?

“Guessed it. Many human cultivators like to go to the North to experience and hunt for treasures. The top ten dangerous places are a must-go.” This was not difficult to guess. There used to be many human cultivators who went to the top ten dangerous places in the North in order to improve their strength. Although, nine out of ten people who had gone there, died in dangerous situations. However, if you could really get out of the dangerous situation, your strength would definitely increase greatly.

“Oh, it turns out you guessed it. I was shocked, I thought Master had seen it.”

“Nonsense, how can my soul power see such a far away place?” Xuanyuan Chen shook his head helplessly.

“Sect Master, I heard from Senior Brother Bai that my Master has also come to Hai City. Why do I not see him?” Liu Mufeng asked about his Master.

Xuanyuan Chen sighed softly at this question. “Your Master is in the alchemy room. Nowadays, a lot of pills are needed to resist the sea demon beast’s tide. Therefore, Yuantu often refines pills in the alchemy room. Sometimes he doesn’t come out for ten days or half a month. I don’t dare to disturb him. However, when he walked out of the alchemy room a month ago, I told him thatXiaoXu and you were coming back in about a month and he said he had noted it down.”

Looking at Xuanyuan Chen’s expression, Liu Mufeng frowned. “Sect Master, did something happen to my Master?”

“Oh, your Master, his love journey is so bumpy.” Xuanyuan Chen sighed repeatedly.

“Uncle, has he met another woman again? What’s the fate between them?” Jiang Xu asked curiously.

“En, it’s a long story. Not long after you left, your Master met Qingmei when he went out to look for spiritual herbs and the two of them got married not long after. Later, a Relic of a Holy Alchemist appeared in the world, and your Master, along with Qingmei, the Ninth Elder, the Twelfth Elder, the Fifteenth Elder, and the Eighteenth Elder, a group of six people went to visit the ruins. As a result, they encountered powerful demon beasts in the ruins and Jiang Yingxue, whom they had met in the ruins, died tragically in order to save your Master. After Jiang Yingxue died, your Master’s temperament changed drastically. He talked a lot less and has always been taciturn. Qingmei kept persuading him, but he still refused to listen. Later, the two of them had a big fight, and Qingmei went back to the Snake Clan. She has been gone for more than five hundred years and has never come back. Since Qingmei left, your Master has become even more silent, sometimes not saying a word for a month or two. He doesn’t bother to pay attention to what others say to him. It is already pretty good if I can get one answer for ten questions when I talk to him.” Xuanyuan Chen shook his head helplessly.

“How could it be like this? Jiang Yingxue is dead and Qingmei is gone.” Jiang Xu was very depressed when he heard the bad news.

“Although Jiang Yingxue abandoned Master back then, she was after all Master’s first partner and Junior Sister who grew up with Master as his childhood sweetheart. Master has never forgotten his love for her. Princess Qingmei is a Princess of the Snake Clan and seeing her partner grieving for another woman, she naturally couldn’t tolerate it.” Liu Mufeng frowned deeply.

As a disciple, he could not make much judgement on his Master’s love life. However, Liu Mufeng felt that since his Master was willing to marry Princess Qingmei as his partner, it meant that he had feelings for Qingmei. However, Jiang Yingxue was Master’s first love after all, and her influence on Master was too profound, so he could never get rid of this woman’s shadow. Especially since the other party died to save him. This must have made his Master remember that woman even more.

“Poor Uncle. Pianpian has always said that Uncle will die alone and will kill (tn: it’s not literally, it means he would be the cause of their deaths) his two wives. I didn’t expect it to be true.” Jiang Xu sighed again when talking about this.

“Oh, I feel relieved when you come back. With Mufeng and Xuanxuan accompanying Yuantu, he will be in a better mood and won’t be so silent, hiding in the alchemy room all day long.” Seeing Liu Mu Feng, Xuanyuan Chen was more or less relieved. Liu Mufeng was Yuantu’s favorite disciple. If Mufeng was here, Yuantu might be able to slowly get better.

“I hope so.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng also hoped that his Master could come out of this gloom.

“Master, didn’t you bring Pianpian with you?” Jiang Xu asked his Master curiously.

Xuanyuan Chen rolled his eyes. “How many times have I told you, call her Mistress, and not use her name. How many times will you call her Pianpian?”

“Oh, I got it.” Jiang Xu nodded and said without sincerity.

“You brat as soon as you come back, you make me angry. Your Mistress hasn’t come here, she’s in the sect. The little one can’t live without her.”

Jiang Xu’s eyes widened in shock. “Master, you, you and your wife have given birth to a little Junior Brother for me?”

“Not a Junior Brother, but a Junior Sister. Her name isXiaoJin. She is only six years old this year. She cannot turn into her human form yet. Must be as big as Xiaoxiao and like to fly around with flapping wings.” As he said that, Xuanyuan Chen glanced at the furry Xiaoxiao on Liu Mufeng’s shoulder and remembered his lovely daughter.

“Wow, Master, you are so awesome. You are already so old, and you actually gave me a Junior Sister.” Jiang Xu admired him very much and said in his heart:Master is really getting stronger with age.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen coughed uncomfortably. “Don’t talk nonsense.” OnlyXiaoXu dared to say such things. Even if others did, they only dared to say them behind his back. Only this brat dared to say these things in front of him.

“If I had known earlier, I should have returned to the Sect first, picked up Mistress and Junior Sister, and then come here together. Master, you would not have to be alone here.” Jiang Xu smiled.

“Don’t be ridiculous, this place is so dangerous, your Junior Sister can’t come.” Shaking his head, Xuanyuan Chen refused. Naturally, he was reluctant to leave the mother and daughter, but after all, the Sect was safer than here. Even though he was reluctant to let go, he was not willing to let the mother and daughter take risks.

“I’m just afraid that you miss my Junior Sister very much.” Jiang Xu was also very curious. He felt that the little phoenix must be soft and cuddly, especially cute.

“If you want me to go back early, then hold back your energy and kill a few more sea beasts. Once the problem here is solved, we can all go back to the sect.” Xuanyuan Chen sighed helplessly.

“Master, don’t worry. I came back specifically to pay my respects today. Tomorrow I will go out with everyone to kill sea beasts. I am an eighth-level cultivator now. I’ll definitely kill more sea beasts than the other Elders.” Jiang Xu said confidently.

“En, you are now at the Spiritual Venerable Realm, so you can be considered capable of taking on a big role. After we eliminate the sea beasts, let’s go back to the sect and make you a Peak Master and then you can choose a spiritual peak for you.” Xuanyuan Chen said with satisfaction.

“No need, Master, Mufeng and I have already discussed it and decided that the two of us don’t want to be Peak Masters. Being a Peak Master would also require us to take in a whole bunch of disciples, which is also quite troublesome. We can just be the Elders of the Medicinal Pool Area. It’s good to get a share of the profits and not have to worry about it.” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu smiled.

Xuanyuan Chen rolled his eyes. “Profit monger!”

“Hehe, I come from a small place and I only care about spirit stones.” Jiang Xu smiled when he said this.

“En, if you don’t like to be a Peak Master, then you can become an Honorary Elder. Every year, the Sect will issue a fixed amount of spirit stones to the Honorary Elder. You should like this, right?” Looking at his apprentice, Xuanyuan Chen asked with a smile.

“Yeah, I like this better. It’s great that I don’t have to do anything to get the spirit stones.” Jiang Xu nodded and agreed.
