Ch542 - Long Xingtian Returns

Picking up the recording stone placed by Liu Mufeng on the bed, the Five Poison Immortal King stared at it for a long time, then he slowly lifted his head and looked at his adoptive Son beside him. “Mufeng, are you saying what he said is true?”

Upon hearing the Five Poisons Immortal King’s question, Liu Mufeng frowned. He understood that if his adoptive Father suddenly asked this question, it meant that in his heart, he had already believed what Long Xingtian had said. “This Son doesn’t know if it’s true. This Son has only known Senior Long for a short time and doesn’t know him very well. So, I can’t infer whether what he said is true, but hasn’t he gone back to find witnesses? After he comes back, adoptive Father can meet those witnesses, listen to what they say, and then judge whether what Senior Long said is true or false.”

“En, what you’re saying makes sense.” The Five Poisons Immortal King nodded as he spoke.

“Father, please rest for a while, this Son will go to the alchemy room and refine some healing pills for you. There is some residual poison on the broken blade. Although the wound has been cleaned, it is not easy to recover from the residual poison, you need to take some pills.”

“En, you go.” The Five Poison Immortal King waved his hand, gesturing for the other party to leave.

“Alright, this Son bids goodbye to Father.” Liu Mufeng lowered his head and turned around to leave.

Seeing his adopted Son leave, the Five Poison Immortal King couldn’t wait to activate the recording stone again. The face that he had been longing for immediately appeared within the stone. Watching the affectionate Long Xingtian moaning one after another, the Five Poison Immortal King lips unconsciously curled into a smile. Especially when Long Xingtian heard him say, “Liu Mufeng, listen carefully to what I just said. If there is one false statement. I will have the same surname as you, so you call me your Son and I will call you my Father. Is that enough?” The Five Poison Immortal King laughed out loud, but his tears also rolled down along with it.

He didn’t know why, he just felt that what Long Xingtian said was true. Even if there were no witnesses, he was willing to believe that these were true. Willing to believe him.

**********

As expected by the Five Poison Immortal King, Long Xingtian’s journey through the Space Tunnel took only 23 days total.

As Long Xingtian appeared in his room again, Liu Mufeng smiled bitterly. “Senior Long, you’re back.”

“Ah, I’m back. I brought back ten people from the Dragon Clan,” He said, and with a wave of his sleeve, ten more people appeared in the room.

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu’s gaze swept over the faces of these ten cultivators and found that there was only one female among them, while the others were all male, and the strength of these ten people, Liu Mufeng couldn’t tell at all, probably not Immortal Emperors but Immortal Kings.

“Son, let me introduce you. This is Long Mei, this is the Dragon Clan’s Third Elder, and this is the Fifth Elder…” After pulling Liu Mufeng over, Long Xingtian introduced the ten people to Liu Mufeng and his wife one by one. Then he said to the ten people, “This is my adoptive Son and his wife. Before coming, I told you how to address them, do you remember?”

“Okay, a few Seniors have just arrived. Let them rest for a while, and in three days, I will take everyone to see my adoptive Father.” Liu Mufeng nodded and agreed to Long Xingtian’s request.

“Okay, okay!” Long Xingtian agreed.

“Senior Long, you have worked hard all the way. Let’s go back and rest. The space tunnel is very dangerous, so you should try not to use it in the future to avoid damaging your dragon body.” After learning about the space tunnel, Liu Mufeng recently did some detailed research.

After understanding, Liu Mufeng became even more depressed. Because not everyone could walk through this spatial passage. Space storms, passage collapses, and torsion often occurred in spatial tunnels due to uncertain factors. So, ordinary immortals did not use spatial tunnels. Of course, the exception was the Immortal Emperors, as their cultivation level was relatively high, and any danger was not considered dangerous for them. Even if they encountered a space storm or collapse, they could easily cope with it. Therefore, there was another name for the spatial tunnels, which was, the Immortal Emperor’s Imperial Path, meaning that only an Immortal Emperor could take the shortcut.

Upon hearing these words, Long Xingtian smiled triumphantly. “Son, you don’t have to worry about me. I have rough skin and thick flesh, and that little wind and waves don’t matter at all.”

Liu Mufeng smiled and nodded. “If you’re okay, Senior, then I can rest assured.” Concerned about him? He really thought too much.

“What Senior? I even called you ‘Son’’, why didn’t you change to calling me ‘Dad’?” Long Xingtian said discontentedly as he looked at Liu Mufeng.

“There is no rush, it’s not too late for me to call you this title after you and my adoptive Father get married.”The eight characters haven’t even been mentioned yet, so asking him to call him “Dad”, isn’t it too early?

“Okay, okay, I’ll wait. By the way, Daughter-in-Law, why are you not saying a word? Aren’t you happy that I came back?” Long Xingtian smiled as he looked at Jiang Xu, who had been silent beside Liu Mufeng.

Jiang Xu couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “You’ve disturbed our cultivation as soon as you came back, you wondering if I’m happy?” This stupid dragon, why didn’t he get stuck in the space tunnel? Surprisingly, he bounced back so quickly.

Long Xingtian immediately apologized with a smile. “Hehehe, Daughter-in-Law, don’t be so angry. In the future, when your Dad chases your adoptive Father back, he won’t bother you young couple anymore, so you can have a good time with your man.”

Jiang Xu rolled his eyes in frustration, but there was no further conversation. He really didn’t want to talk, nor did he want to hear this stupid dragon spouting shit.

“Senior Long, please take the other Seniors to rest first. I want to go see my adoptive Father.” Liu Mufeng politely ordered the other party to leave.

“Oh, then why don’t you go? How’s Chen‘erdoing? Has he recovered from his injury?”

“Don’t worry, Senior. My adoptive Father’s injury has already healed.” After nearly a month of recuperation, the Five Poison Immortal King’s injury has long since healed.

“Oh, that’s good, that’s good. Then we will go first.” Long Xingtian nodded and left with his people.

Seeing everyone left, Jiang Xu breathed a sigh of relief in secret, he waved and set a barrier, turned his head to look at his own man. “This Long Xingtian came back so fast. Mufeng, what should we do now?”

“It’s okay, my adoptive Father had already anticipated that he would come back within a month. Tomorrow, I will go tell my adoptive Father to meet with those people from the Dragon Clan. Then, I will find a way to send them back.” At this point in the matter, he could only let his adoptive Father and the people from the Dragon Clan meet first.

“Perhaps adoptive Father has changed his mind and didn’t want Long Xingtian to leave?” After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xu said helplessly.

“En, there’s that possibility.” His adoptive Father stayed here waiting for Long Xingtian to return, not only to protect himself and his family, but also to show some softness. Liu Mufeng could see that his adoptive Father still cared about Long Xingtian.

“Do you think Long Xingtian and adoptive Father will reconcile?” Jiang Xu asked.

Liu Mufeng frowned and thought for a moment. “There is an 80 percent chance of reconciliation.”

“80 percent? Is the chance so high? Just that stupid dragon Long Xingtian, what’s good about him? How can he deserve to be with adoptive Father?” Thinking of his adoptive Father, who was equally good in appearance, intelligence, emotional intelligence, and strength, and thinking about that stupid second rate dragon, Jiang Xu felt he was not worthy of his adoptive Father. Why was he only interested in such a second rate guy?

“It’s not up to us to decide whether he is deserving of the adoptive Father or not. As long as adoptive Father feels happy, everything else is not so important. Moreover, adoptive Father is an Immortal King, and it’s not good for him to stay in the Lower Heavenly Domain. It’s better for him to go to the Upper Heavenly Domain with Long Xingtian.” When cultivators strength reached the Immortal King, it would increase slowly staying in the Lower Heavenly Domain. Therefore, many Immortal Kings in the Lower Heavenly would leave to seek better development in the Middle Heavenly and Upper Heavenly Domain.

“En, that’s true. Emotional matters are ultimately the responsibility of adoptive Father himself. As long as adoptive Father is willing, it’s okay.” This kind of thing was something that one was willing to fight and another was willing to suffer, and others couldn’t control it.

**********

The next day, Liu Mufeng told the Five Poisons Immortal King about Long Xingtian’s return.

After hearing this news, the Five Poisons Immortal King was not surprised at all. “How many people did he bring back?”

“Ten of them, including the Elder Long Mei, one Dragon Clan Priest, three Dragon Clan Elders, and five Dragon Clan Warriors.” Liu Mufeng spoke truthfully.

“Okay, since they’ve come all the way, I’ll meet them.” Lowering his head, he took a sip of tea, and the Five Poisons Immortal King decided to meet the Dragon Clan envoy.

“Okay, this Son will handle the meeting arrangement.” Liu Mufeng said.

“Mufeng…” The Five Poison Immortal King hesitated to speak.

Watching his adoptive Father being hesitant, Liu Mufeng smiled. “Adoptive Father, this is your personal matter. No matter what decision you make, this Son will support you.”

Upon hearing these words, the Five Poisons Immortal King smiled with relief. “Even though 3,000 years have passed, I have never forgotten him. To be honest, I don’t know if what he said to you was true or false. Even if he finds witnesses, these ten people are all from the Dragon Clan. He is the Dragon Emperor. Whatever he wants these people to say, they will naturally say it. So…”

“My adoptive Father, let bygones be bygones. If you have always loved Senior Long deeply, don’t want to forget him, and don’t want to be separated from him. Then, let them tell you the truth.”

Upon hearing this, the Five Poisons Immortal King smiled bitterly. “Is it possible to deceive oneself in this way?”

“Why bother with that? As long as Senior Long loves you wholeheartedly in the future. As long as you are the only one in his Dragon Palace, and you can be happy and together. Is everything else so important?”

“Um…” Upon hearing his Son say this, the Five Poisons Immortal King was stunned for a moment.

“This Son knows that Senior Long has high strength and status, and it’s normal for you to have concerns in your heart. However, you can’t miss out on a man you deeply love just because of this. If you feel insecure, you can ask him to make an agreement with you, and you can ask for his promise. If he really loves you, I think he will be willing to agree to you. There are some things that you still need to handle on your own.” Liu Mufeng looked at his adoptive Father and explained carefully.

Upon hearing this, the Five Poisons Immortal King nodded. “En, I understand!”
