Chapter 29: Misinterpretation
Chapter 29: Misinterpretation
Qi Yuan, with his First Rank Foundation Establishment Spirit Treasure, the Golden Flower Fruit, returned to the Seven-Colored Peak.
Soon, he arrived back at his courtyard.
His junior sister, Jiang Ling Su, was cultivating, seemingly at a crucial stage.
Qi Yuan glanced at her thatched hut, where white mist filled the interior, indicating her intense cultivation.
Qi Yuan passed by the hut and headed towards the peak.
Before long, a barrier appeared before him.
It was a prohibition set up by his master, Ran Yixi, to prevent Qi Yuan from ascending the mountain.
"Open sesame!" Qi Yuan tried calling out.
Unfortunately, the prohibition remained unmoved.
"Could it be that I misunderstood my master's intentions?" Qi Yuan was perplexed.
His master had obtained the First Rank Foundation Establishment Spirit Treasure for him; her intentions were clear.
Could it be... that he was too subtle? Qi Yuan held up the Golden Flower Fruit.
"Master, your disciple Qi Yuan has brought the betrothal gift!" he declared.
The prohibition remained unyielding.
Qi Yuan looked up, and at that moment, the clouds in the sky seemed to gather, as if concealing an unparalleled ferocious beast!
A cold wind blew, stinging Qi Yuan's face.
After a while, these anomalies dissipated.
Qi Yuan's expression turned doubtful.
"Could it be that I misunderstood my master's intentions?"
"No, it must be that the meaning of the Golden Flower Fruit is not good. Golden flower, tomorrow's withered flower!"
"Or perhaps... is it possible that she's already my wife, and I'm still bringing a betrothal gift?"
With this thought, Qi Yuan became excited again.
His eyes had clearly seen...
【She is Ran Yixi, outwardly your beautiful master, but possibly your wife in reality.】
What he witnessed couldn't be false.
It's common knowledge that eyes don't lie, and what they see can't be photoshopped.
Of course, if the people of his homeland heard Qi Yuan's words, they might call him a fool.
Qi Yuan put down the Golden Flower Fruit and prepared to return to his own courtyard.
At this moment, Jiang Ling Su came out of the house, a look of suspicion on her face: "Senior Brother, did you just sense something unusual?"
During her cultivation, she suddenly felt the fluctuations of the seasons and the heavens.
It seemed like the emotions of a powerhouse had caused the spiritual energy to stir.
"Perhaps it's Master," Qi Yuan replied without hiding anything.
Jiang Ling Su felt that it was normal for the master. She looked at Qi Yuan, sensing that he must have offended the master somehow.
If it was the master, it was normal.
Jiang Ling Su's gaze fell on the box in Qi Yuan's hand, and she sniffed with her delicate nose: "First Rank Foundation Establishment Spirit Treasure, Golden Flower Fruit?
Senior Brother, that's not bad at all."
She looked at Qi Yuan with a face full of curiosity.
In her opinion, Senior Brother Qi Yuan had talent, but his spell combat abilities were probably lacking.
After all, in a game like this, where would there be opportunities to improve practical combat skills?
Qi Yuan also looked at Jiang Ling Su with a puzzled expression: "Are you surnamed Zhou?"
"???" Jiang Ling Su was confused. Senior Brother's thought process was peculiar.
"That's the one, the one living in the shadow of Charlotte," Qi Yuan tried to recall.
Jiang Ling Su was speechless. She felt that Senior Brother must have played too many games, blurring the line between the game and reality.
"Senior Brother, are you going to take your knife for a walk again?" Jiang Ling Su changed the subject, not wanting to continue this strange conversation.
"Not today."
"Huh? Don't you go every day?"
"Today, I'm going to sharpen my knife!"
"What are you doing?"
"I feel like eating fish."
"Senior Brother... I don't know why, but your words always give me a cold feeling."
...
At the Divine Light Sect, Zheng Jiang He's face was somewhat pale, indicating that he hadn't fully recovered from his previous injuries.
At the peak of Divine Herbs, a physician spoke softly, "Your injuries are not fully healed yet. Are you still going?"
Zheng Jiang He's face darkened, "As the on-duty disciple of the Golden Light Hall, I must go. Otherwise, if something like that happens in Rongcheng again, how can I show my face in this world?"
"Sigh, you're just too stubborn." The physician sighed, applying the prepared medicine to Zheng Jiang He's body.
Zheng Jiang He had just broken through the Foundation Establishment, and he hadn't cultivated any secret healing techniques. Moreover, he wasn't proficient in Wood or Water Dao Techniques, making his recovery incredibly slow.
"Today, the Black Mountain Sect has caused trouble, and their arrogance is evident! According to the elders on the peak, the Black Chicken Old Demon has likely entered the late Divine Infancy Realm."
That Chu Tian Xiong would probably become even more arrogant.
They chose to stay in Rongcheng for the night, which might not be without ulterior motives!" The physician worried for Zheng Jiang He.
"If I go, they will surely be hesitant to act. Could they dare to kill me?" Zheng Jiang He said, his eyes filled with intense killing intent. "The Black Mountain Sect's people should all die!"
He was well aware of the Black Mountain Sect's notorious reputation.
It could be said that none of their disciples were good people; they were all demon cultivators with bloodstained hands.
A few years ago, an Essence Core Elder from the Black Mountain Sect had refined a Summoning Soul Banner, using it to peel away the souls of an entire town's inhabitants.
Afterwards, that Essence Core Elder shamelessly claimed that he saw the town's people as lax and wanted to give them something to do.
Those demon disciples had long lost their humanity.
The physician understood Zheng Jiang He's thoughts, but he still couldn't help but say, "They dare not kill you, but they can injure you. Be more careful this time."
...
Rongcheng.
In a spacious courtyard, not a soul remained.
On the broken window, tattered paper cuttings seemed to be pasted.
In the pond within the courtyard, a few fish swayed their tails, seemingly waiting for someone to feed them.
On the moss-covered marble, faint traces of blood remained.
Chu Tian Xiong stepped into the courtyard, laughing heartily, "Elder, let's stay here tonight."
Chicken Worshipping Ancestor looked at the courtyard and revealed a satisfied smile, "Tian Xiong, you know how to get things done.
Staying here will surely irritate those self-righteous righteous cultivators."
Beside him, other Black Mountain Sect disciples stepped forward and asked, "Elder Tian Xiong, is there anything suspicious about this place? Why would staying here make the Divine Light Sect feel uncomfortable?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Tian Xiong burst into laughter, "That's because, half a month ago, the man of this house got married.
The bride he welcomed was so beautiful, three times more enchanting than my master's wife!"
At this, the Black Mountain Sect disciples present had their eyes shining.
"More enchanting than the master's wife? Elder Tian Xiong, you're blessed!"
"In front of her husband, I was about to... but I never thought that woman would be so fierce, crashing directly into the pillar.
Look, I killed here for half an incense stick's time, and later, I slept hugging her corpse for the night."
"Elder Tian Xiong, how was the taste of the corpse?"
Chu Tian Xiong coldly hummed, "You people, do you all think I'm some lustful and bloodthirsty demon?
If you see me that way, you're underestimating me.
I forcefully took the newlywed wife and killed her entire family, not for simple human desires, but to cultivate a Dao Technique! If one is controlled by mere desires, they are unworthy of the path of cultivation!"
Upon hearing this, the other Black Mountain Sect disciples all showed admiration, "Elder Tian Xiong speaks well!"
"Dao Technique above all!"
