Chapter 40
Full of Hints
Liu Yuan brought Gu Chang down the mountain. When they reached the courtyard of his house, he let Gu Chang in by himself and instructed him not to expose his identity.
Although Gu Chang was young, he was also the type who gained wisdom early.
“Oh,” he said as he walked in.”Mother, I’m back.”
Lady Wan’s gentle voice came from the courtyard, “Chang’er, you’re back. Have some water first.”
Liu Yuan was speechless. Compared to her previous cruel appearance, there was a huge difference. However, thinking about how Lady Wan could temporarily put aside her revenge and raise her child, Gu Chang must be more important than anything else in her heart.
The cultivation technique of the Jade Mirage Sect was already in his mind.
The words shining with golden light seemed to have been imprinted in his mind and would not fade away. He could meditate at any time to cultivate.
However, he still had to go to Ding Luan to learn some special skills and break through bottlenecks in cultivation techniques.
After all, it was not only the Jade Mirage Sect’s cultivation techniques, but also Ding Luan’s own life’s learning. Those experiences were the most precious things.
Liu Yuan’s return trip took almost half a day.
It was also fortunate that he had the attributes of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator now. He could use many movement skills, such as Flash, sword riding, and Air Walk.
He was a strong warrior! (Not really.)
These movement techniques could be used for long-distance movement, otherwise, it would take even longer.
When he returned to Chiyu Villa, Ning Xiangrong was also there. She had just finished contacting Water Moon Dock these few days. It was a mess over there anyway, and with Yue Longzhang’s death, some people in Water Moon Dock could not help but stir up trouble.
First of all, it was Yue Longzhang’s father, Yue Zong. His son, who had a bright future ahead of him, had suddenly died. Naturally, he was so angry that he was about to go crazy.
But then there was the news that his son was a spy from the demonic sect. This time, other than anger, he was more worried about his position as an elder.
And the matter had indeed developed in this way. Some people who had grudges against Yue Zong began to spread this matter wantonly, and Ma Shu began to add fuel to the fire. His connections at the bottom of the Water Moon Dock quickly made solidified that Yue Longzhang was a spy.
Although Yue Zong did not believe it, it was Ning Xiangrong who delivered the news.
Everyone knew Miss Ning’s personality. There was no reason for her to spread false information, so the matter quickly turned into an internal fight.
It was strange that even though his son had died, Yue Zong did not think about taking revenge. Instead, he quickly threw himself into the struggle to defend his position.
It was not until a few days later that they found some time from their busy schedule and remembered to ask about the person who killed Yue Longzhang.
“…”
Liu Yuan was speechless for a moment.
As expected, humans loved to fight among themselves. They were addicted to it.
Ning Xiangrong looked at Liu Yuan’s expression helplessly. She was also very puzzled and contemptuous of the phenomenon in Water Moon Dock. She sighed and said, “Compared to the big sects in the Central Continent, Water Moon Dock is just a small fish. No matter if it’s the elders or the disciples, they have limited talent. The path to Immortality is hard to find. As time passes, they will inevitably neglect the fundamentals and pursue the trivialities, researching on fighting for fame and profit.”
Liu Yuan nodded and was very pleased. “Rongrong is still far-sighted. She’s not trapped by fame and fortune. She’s free and at ease. She has great potential on the path of cultivation.”
To a wifey, no matter what she said, he would just praise her.
What else could he do? Analyze everything rationally?
“You’re so glib.” Ning Xiangrong spat at him, but from the corner of her mouth, it was obvious that she was still very happy, and her beautiful eyes were full of affection. “What’s the use of not being trapped by fame and fortune? You’re still trapped by love.”
Liu Yuan’s heart was numbed by her coquettish and complaining tone. He repeatedly cupped his fists in his heart. In terms of sweet talk, you win.
Liu Yuan put on an expression like he was deeply touched, and Ning Xiangrong’s face turned red. She then took his hand and smiled. “When they asked, I told them that he’s the person I’ve been looking for, the husband I’ve acknowledged.”
“!!!”
Liu Yuan’s expression was one of horror.
Ning Xiangrong comforted him. “I’ll protect you. It’s okay. I’ve already told Father that I won’t marry anyone else but you. Otherwise, I’ll just go to the Jade Palace and become a nun.”
She said it with determination, but Liu Yuan’s mouth twitched.
No, no, no... Don’t go to the Jade Void Sect. There’s a virtuous, generous, and unjealous woman there who might be looking for me.
No, nothing would happen, so why did he feel so guilty?
Liu Yuan coughed twice and said mischievously, “You can’t joke around... If you want to be a female Daoist, I’ll have to climb over the walls of the Jade Void Sect and make you break the rules.”
That was exactly what he had done when he first conquered one of the cards over there.
Ning Xiangrong’s face was flushed red, and even her neck was pink. She reached out and pinched him. “You only know how to talk nonsense.”
“You’re talking nonsense, I’m also talking nonsense, we’re even.” Liu Yuan smiled and then said hesitantly, “What did your father say?”
Ning Xiangrong snorted softly. “What else can he say? He has always doted on me. Naturally, he still listens to me. He just wants me to take you back to him.”
Liu Yuan nodded. “I’ll take a look then. I’ll make sure he’ll marry his daughter to me.”
He immediately regretted it. He did not specialize in conquering now, and there was also Gu Siyin here. How could he marry her without worry?
Ning Xiangrong saw his calm smile freeze on his face, and immediately raised her hand to poke his chest, saying, “I knew you were still thinking about that little girl.”
Liu Yuan denied it. “I’m not...”
Before he could say ‘that kind of person’, Ning Xiangrong interrupted him.
“I actually don’t care.” The smile on Ning Xiangrong’s face was still so faint, but her eyes were full of burning love. “I’ve been looking for you for three years. The longing in my heart almost burned me dry. At that time, I was so worried that you didn’t want me anymore. If you never saw me again, what should I do... But now I’ve found you, and that’s enough.”
She leaned on Liu Yuan’s chest and listened to his heartbeat. She closed her eyes and said, “I was just scaring you. You care so much about that little girl, so how could I bear to force you to make a choice and be sad?”
“As for my father and Yue Zong, don’t worry. I’ve said it before, this time, it’s my turn to save you. They can forget about hurting you.”
The woman’s words were firm. She pursed her lips, but a trace of tears flickered in her eyes. She tried to hide the faint sourness in her heart.
After all, he was the one she loved. How could she not be sad when someone else was in his heart? However, to keep up appearances, she could change herself and make herself look less sad.
Liu Yuan was moved. He reached out and touched her back, hesitating whether to tell her that he was already in the Nascent Soul stage, and she really did not have to worry about his safety.
However, after not seeing her for a few days, he jumped from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul. This could no longer be explained with common sense, so it was better not to talk about it for the time being.
After hugging him quietly for a while, Ning Xiangrong let go of him and said indifferently, “I’ll bring you back to Water Moon Dock tomorrow morning. I’ll be sleeping next to you tonight.”
Before she left, Liu Yuan felt that her eyes were full of hints.
