Chapter 1121: Chapter 701: Farewell_2
Because Dayan concubines are occasionally arranged to accompany guests.
Xu Yuan hesitated and said:
“Is… that so.”
Tang Weijun waved nonchalantly:
“It’s not too bad. The day your father raided the mansion, your brother took out of the city ahead of ti.”
Speaking of this, her grievances deepened again, and she muttered:
“But that guy said nothing before leaving, just threw there and left. When I tried to stop him, he beat up!”
Xu Yuan found it sowhat difficult to keep his composure.
Beating up a girl before leaving.
Xu Changge, truly living up to your reputation.
“Looking back, I suppose he just didn’t know what to say. After all, from his perspective, it was ultimately his father who annihilated my entire family.”
Tang Weijun let out a faint snort, gazed northward at the horizon, and murmured:
“After that, I began wandering the world. When I ca to the Daying Continent, I was saved by a disciple from the Heavenly Master Mansion during a chance encounter and was brought into their sect…”
Another formidable character.
Hearing such wistful words from his sister-in-law, Xu Yuan thought to himself.
A girl under ten years old traversing two continents—
The last ti Xu Yuan encountered soone so extraordinary was the leader of the Black Scale Guards.
As the words fell, Tang Weijun turned her gaze back to Xu Yuan, speaking earnestly:
“So, I’m sorry, Changtian.
The Heavenly Master Mansion gave a second life, taught the true purpose of cultivation, and showed what righteousness truly ant.
I know your father acted for the people, but perhaps the ancestral rules of the sect are too idealistic. Your father’s ideology clashes inherently with the Heavenly Master Mansion; the disciples here will not condone a Pri Minister’s Mansion that stirs up unnecessary wars, nor will they accept sects that exploit the common people.
Guarding this land and ensuring the safety of ordinary folk is already the limit of what the Heavenly Master Mansion can achieve. I can’t, out of personal desires, plunge the Heavenly Master Mansion and the people it protects into peril.”
“…..”
In the silence,
Xu Yuan smiled softly.
At this mont, he understood why the Heavenly Master Mansion had always remained neutral, never taking sides in the convoluted worldlines of “Cangyuan.”
All for the ideals left behind by the sect’s founder.
If the Heavenly Master Mansion were to throw itself into this grand conflict, the foundation of its existence would be shaken.
Even if it erged victorious,
Even if the Heavenly Master Mansion reaped benefits and expanded, the soul of its ideals would dissipate.
This sect was a utopia established by a group of terrifyingly moralistic idealists, untainted by human selfish desires.
But precisely because of this, its scale could never grow large, and it was extraordinarily fragile—its lofty ideals could crumble with even a slight disturbance at the top.
The reason Little Four strongly believed in the salvation of sects,
Perhaps stemd largely from the existence of sects like the Heavenly Master Mansion.
Xu Yuan did not press further, nor could he.
While waiting for Ran Qingmo, Xu Yuan casually chatted with his sister-in-law about many of Xu Changge’s amusing past escapades.
Xu Yuan enjoyed hearing the love stories of this “Bi Wang.”
For example, the first ti she t Xu Changge, she beat him up, but it ended there—afterward, Xu Changge started guarding against her.
Or, she was the unexpected childhood friend of “Bi Wang Version 2.”
When Xu Changge was sixteen and went to participate in the Heavenly Elent Competition, Tang Weijun accompanied elders from the Heavenly Master Mansion as well.
When she excitedly sought out her childhood friend, she was greeted not with the joy of reunion but with Xu Changge’s calm words:
“Who are you?”
Tang Weijun was utterly affronted, rolled up her sleeves, and charged forward—only to be soundly beaten by Xu Changge again.
Upon hearing the story, Xu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
His sister-in-law was truly pitiable.
Beaten before parting ways, beaten again upon reuniting.
But Xu Changge probably pretended not to recognize her on purpose.
At that ti, their mother had just died, and during that Heavenly Elent Competition, the sect disciples opposing the eldest brother were essentially either dead or crippled.
For the Little Heavenly Master to have rely been beaten, it already indicated a lot.
The two chatted at length until Ran Qingmo hesitantly approached, appearing reluctant, as if she already knew why Xu Yuan had summoned her.
Co to think of it,
The Big Ice Lump may be slow, but she certainly wasn’t stupid.
As Ran Qingmo arrived, Tang Weijun gently patted Xu Yuan’s shoulder and went off to find her master.
Before leaving, she secretly slipped two Heavenly Master Mansion image capturing array stones into Xu Yuan’s hand, instructing him to record Xu Changge getting beaten up.
One for her, and one for him to keep as a nto.
Xu Yuan chuckled softly at this.
Victory would be theirs.
…
After Tang Weijun departed, Ran Qingmo finally arrived.
The girl in dark attire wore a veiled hat, avoided eye contact, and stared at the flourishing flowers nearby without speaking.
Xu Yuan said softly:
“Dressed this properly, it seems you’ve guessed the reason I asked you to co?”
“…Yes.”
“Next ti we et, it’ll likely be at the Sword Sect.”
“…..What!”
Ran Qingmo imdiately lifted her gaze to Xu Yuan upon hearing this, her black eyes penetrating through the veil, her tone trembling slightly:
“Xu Yuan… You promised !”
Xu Yuan smiled faintly, his eyes curving as his voice remained gentle:
“Your Sword Sect’s forty thousand disciples—I, Xu Changtian, will save them, Mr. Ran.”
“…Oh, okay.”
Ran Qingmo’s expression slightly relaxed, and she murmured softly: “Ran Qingmo.”
Xu Yuan chuckled:
“Just joking.”
As he spoke, Xu Yuan reached out to lift the veil that hid her cold face and said softly:
“After we parted ways at Shengshan County, I told you to find that item and bring it to your master. You delivered it, didn’t you?”
“I did.”
Ran Qingmo murmured briefly, then curiously asked: “Was that item very important? My master seed quite agitated at the ti…”
Xu Yuan stroked his chin and said casually:
“It should count as one of your Sword Sect’s lost treasures. With it, I can save the Sword Sect while avoiding a lot of unnecessary casualties.”
“Oh…” Ran Qingmo responded quietly, asking no further.
“….”
The two fell into silence.
In theory,
Seeing each other and saying nothing could only be awkward or suggestive, but Xu Yuan felt neither at this mont.
The Big Ice Lump’s impassive expression still seed far too frigid.
In the quiet,
Xu Yuan chuckled softly and said:
“It’s getting late; let’s go find the old Heavenly Master and the others.”
Ran Qingmo stood still, her black eyes fixed tightly upon him.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan felt a bit puzzled, opened his arms, and teased with a smile:
“Is this a request for a farewell hug?”
“…..”
Ran Qingmo remained silent, removed her veil, and quietly stepped forward, embracing the man lightly. Her voice was clear as she murmured:
“Xu Yuan, after I leave, don’t be sad anymore, okay.”
Holding her soft, weightless figure, Xu Yuan inhaled the fragrance of her dark hair and softly replied:
“…Thank you.”
“Thank you for what….”
“Alright, alright, I get it.”
“Mm.”
“… By the way.”
Holding her close, Xu Yuan suddenly rembered sothing and asked in a low voice:
“Back in that cave when the Charm Poison took effect…”
Before finishing his sentence, Xu Yuan felt the girl in his arms breathing unevenly. Then, the Big Ice Lump began to squirm, trying to break free.
But alas,
This ti, his authority as the husband prevailed.
There was no way for soone in Mortal Transcendence to overpower a Primordial master.
After a while,
Xu Yuan leaned down to softly whisper beside her reddened ear:
“So… it was you.”
“….”
Ran Qingmo buried her face in his chest, gripping her veil tightly, without offering a direct answer:
“I… I have to go. Let go.”
Chuckling softly, Xu Yuan didn’t refuse, releasing her:
“Alright, let’s head over together.”
“No… There’s no need. I’ll go by myself.”
With that, Ran Qingmo retrieved a book from her Suru Ring and tossed it to Xu Yuan. Leaving behind the words, “I’ll wait for you at the Sword Sect,” she hastily donned her veil and fled.
Xu Yuan didn’t chase her, instead standing where he was, studying the book left behind by the Big Ice Lump with curiosity.
The book contained a Dual Cultivation Secret thod—a proper one.
She must have found it during her ti in the Qionghua Secret Realm.
After a brief mont of quiet,
Just as Xu Yuan was about to laugh and store it away, he froze.
This dual cultivation technique looked… off. From its title to its content, sothing felt amiss.
Flipping through it briefly, Xu Yuan’s face twitched.
This cultivation thod… Didn’t follow conventional paths?
