When they arrived at the town, they saw the young disciples who had been expelled, and naturally they gave them a lot of encouragement. Luckily, although these young disciples were sad, they were all loyal and said that they would stay in Fuyu Town for the rest of their lives, even if they died of old age, if Master did not call them back.
Yu Sifeng asks a few more questions about the circumstances surrounding the expulsion, and after a few words of reassurance, he left with Xuanji to eat the barbecue meat that she had been thinking about.
“Some of the disciples who were expelled were the favorites of Madam Dongfang.” As eating they were eating, Yu Sifeng said, “This island master’s wife has no kung fu at all, but she likes to be a teacher’s wife and her favorite disciples are always kind and considerate. The first thing the Island Master suspects when he finds out his wife is seeing someone is his male disciples.”
“How could anything happen between his wife and disciple, Uncle Dongfang is too suspicious.” In Xuanji’s mind, a Master and Master’s wife are like father and mother, and they are totally different from lovers.
Yu Sifeng shook his head and said, “You can’t say that. Lord Dongfang is over forty this year, and his wife is probably not even thirty. With such a huge age difference and his wife’s beauty, it is only natural for a man to feel uneasy.”
It’s normal for a man to feel uneasy? Xuanji asked carelessly, “Will Sifeng also have this kind of mentality?”
He was startled and coughed twice, saying, “We’re talking about the Island Master, don’t interrupt.”
He looked at her hesitantly, if this was Linglong and Zhong Minyan they would have started arguing long ago, thankfully Xuanji is a carefree person, and only asked casually.
“I wonder how Uncle Dongfang met his wife. He must be very happy to have the most beautiful woman as his wife.”
Yu Sifeng had already eaten his fill, so he lowered his head and drank tea, saying, “When I was still young, I once heard my master and his men chatting about the Island Master’s marriage. His wife is originally from Zitong Mountain, at that time in Zitong Mountain there was an evil cult trying to kill her. The young women were often captured to make potions, causing panic among the families in the region with daughters. Dongfang Qingqi went to the Zitong Mountain to calm the chaos and rescued a woman who had been captured but had yet to be killed, which was Lady Dongfang. When he heard that she was an orphan and had no parents, he took pity on her and brought her back to Fuyu Island, where she was married within half a year.”
The story of a hero saving a beautiful woman is a rotten subject, but when it is about someone you know, it becomes a very romantic one. Xuanji’s eyes shone brightly and she kept saying, “So there’s such a story! Why doesn’t Uncle Dongfang ever say anything?”
Yu Sifeng said again, “This is someone else’s private matter, so why tell it? And, my master said back then, he was afraid that Dongfang Qingqi would be bewitched by beauty, and that the girl was no ordinary person… Think about it, all the girls who were taken away are dead, why is she the only one alive? The locals at Zitong Mountain said they never knew there was such a person around, so even an orphan would find it hard to justify themself.”
“Ah, you mean… Lady Dongfang is actually in cahoots with those cults?” Xuanji doesn’t believe it.
“I can’t draw a conclusio now.” Yu Sifeng poured another cup of tea and said, “But when a woman in distress marries a hero who rescues her, she is always grateful and admires him. Look at Lady Dongfang, is she such a person?”
It seems … it is as he said. Indeed not such a person, and instead of Uncle Dongfang it is with Steward Ouyang … that she hooked up.
“So I think, if we can find out the history of this Madam Dongfang and collect evidence, we can always clear the injustice for these disciples.”
Xuanji clapped her hands and laughed, “Sure enough, Si Feng is still smart! I said to listen to Sifeng in everything!”
Yu Sifeng was about to interrupt the conversation when he heard someone laughing behind him and said, “Look, who do I see? What are you two kids doing here?”
The two of them felt the voice was familiar and they looked back together and saw several men standing at the entrance of the restaurant, wearing hats on their heads and long swords at their waists, all looking at them with smiles on their faces.
“Father! Brother!” Xuanji shouted out and rushed out in joy, looking at this and that, and was speechless.
Yu Sifeng hurriedly followed and bowed: “I greet Sect Leader Chu, my brothers and sisters.”
Chen Minjue, who was beside him, laughed and said, “It’s really you guys! What brings you to Fuyu Island? I wasn’t sure if it was you before the master confirmed it.”
He was the one who spoke a few moments ago, Xuanji has not seen him for a few months, but he’s kept his moustache on his face, so he looks more stable.
Chu Lei was also overjoyed to meet his daughter, but he was a strict man, so he smiled and said, “Don’t shout at the door, go inside and then talk.”
The crowd went in and gathered several tables and chairs, sat down in a circle, and met each other again. Although Xuanji had always been a little afraid of her father, but it was a long time since they met again, and he was so pleasant today, so she didn’t feel afraid at all and stammered out what happened to her on the way. Unfortunately, she is not very eloquent, and in the end, it becomes Yu Sifeng’s speech.
When Chu Lei heard that Ling Long and Minyan were lost, he said, “Have you searched around Gao’s Mountain? How did you come to Fuyu Island?”
Yu Sifeng said, “We’ve searched everywhere, but we couldn’t find them. We said we would go to Fuyu Island, so since we couldn’t find them, we came to Fuyu Island to wait for them, hoping that they would be safe and come as soon as possible.”
Chu Lei listened to this and had to nod, this is the best way. This method is certainly the best approach. If they kept looking and encountered danger, then they would all be wiped out, which is worse. Right now, they could only hope that Zhong Minyan and the others were not in trouble and were on their way here.
He looked at Xuanji and saw that she had grown a bit taller and thinner in the past few months, not as naive and ignorant as she was when she was in the Shaoyang Sect. “Xuanji, this time you went down the mountain, realised the world is a tough place, right?”
Xuanji nodded her head, but she felt that someone was staring at her, so she turned around and saw her brother Du Minxing smiling at her. When he saw her looking at him, he said, “How is little sister’s wound? If you don’t take good care of your bones, you will suffer in rainy and cloudy weather.”
She nodded her head, “It’s all better! It doesn’t hurt at all, and it’s even better than before!”
She shakes her arm to show that it works really well, which makes the others laugh. Du Minxing took out a small black box from his baggage and handed it over: “If you feel unwell, apply this medicine to the wound three times a day, it will remove the pain and promote blood circulation.”
After saying that, he looked at Yu Sifeng, his look was complicated for a moment, but finally he smiled and said, “Sifeng, remember to use this too.”
Yu Sifeng thanked him and put the medicine in his sleeve pocket.
Chu Lei saw that the sword on Xuanji’s waist was not the one she usually used, and then looked at Yu Sifeng, who had no weapon on him, and sighed: “You two are too reckless. If not for good luck, I am afraid…”
Xuanji whispered, “That Purple Fox took my sword and couldn’t find it. That’s why Si feng lent me his sword. He also has a short sword and other weapons of his own.”
Chu Lei had already seen the unusual undercurrents between the two young children. Yu Sifeng was from a well known sect, and back then, when he was with them to catch demons his performance was outstanding and appearance elegant. He was very fond of him, and to see he was taking care of his little girl, who was his biggest headache, he had the good intention of making this happen.
The immortal cultivators do not have a lot of rules and regulations, Chu Lei himself was also extremely in love with He Danping back then, so he did not interfere with his children’s affairs in this regard.
He took out an ice-blue sword from his bag and handed it to Xuanji: “You will use this sword in the future, Sifeng’s sword will be returned back to him. The sword that other people are accustomed to using, how can you use it, you have put him in danger.”
Xuanji took the sword and drew it out gently, but the blade was as beautiful as autumn water, with patterns like water waves engraved on it. She had never seen this kind of sword before, but her elder brother and the others knew about it, just like the “Duàn Jīn” of Lady Chu, both of them are the products of the Dianjing Valley’s Sword Casting Heavenly Platform. It took a huge amount of resources and manpower to make two of them, one is the Duàn Jīn and the other is the one Xuanji is holding.
“It’s called the Bēng Yù.” Chu Lei said indifferently.
After he gave birth to his two daughters, the gift was given to him by Master Rong Gu. When Linglong was eleven years old, He Danping gave the Duàn Jīn to her, and now, Bēng Yù is given to Xuanji.
“Your mother has been thinking about you guys for a long time, fearing that you might be in danger out there. This time when we came to Fuyu Island to compete for the Flower Zanhua Competition, she asked me to bring this sword with me and give it to you if I met you.”
Xuanji saw the beautiful shape of this sword, unlike any other she had ever seen. The blade was a little narrower, but the cold aura that pervaded it was intimidating. She was so happy that she murmured, “Thank you, Father.”
Chen Minjue smiles and says, “Little Sister, you still don’t know how fast this sword is. This is a weapon that is no less powerful than the one used to break the gold!”[1]
He picked up a piece of pumpkin rind that was left on the table and threw it at the sword, and everyone watched as it broke in two and fell to the ground. He plucked out a hair, put it on the sword and blew on it, but the hair also broke off.
“It’s so sharp!” Xuanji praised.
Chu Lei said warmly, “With the Collapsing Jade, you don’t have to worry anymore when you encounter demons like those from the Haiwan Mountain and Gao’s Mountain. You must treat it well and not desecrate the divine weapon.”
Since Xuanji had fastened the Bēng Yù to her waist, Yu Sifeng returned the sword to himself and stroked it from time to time with great joy.
After that, the people ate some food, listened to them about the Dinghǎi Iron Chains and the imprisoned demon. Chu Lei’s face changed slightly when he heard them talk it, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he did not. Only asked, “You said the Island Master has expelled many disciples from the sect, why is that?”
Xuanji and Yu Sifeng looked at each other and finally Yu Sifeng said, “Master Chu, it’s a long story…”
