"What? It’s been found? So quickly...!" Lan i Xian knitted her eyebrows.
That writing only had two lines — Mysterious Yang Jade Core has been found. Return... there’s an important matter!
"Thank god! It’s been found... Now father-in-law is going to get better." Yang Ruo Lan joyfully clapped her hands. But then, she frowned, "But, why call back with such urgency?"
However, others weren’t infected by her joyful mood. There was still a heavy atmosphere in the tent.
Lan i Xian was mourning in her heart. In fact, she felt like dying.
This blow had been too cruel for her!
"That’s it. I’m done... you can do whatever you want," Lan i Xian listlessly spoke, "Your Master is the one at fault. It seems that this Icy Heart Jade Bone Saintly Technique... will have to end here. As a Master, I... don’t wish to suffer a third blow. I’ve suffered enough. Everything is over now..."
Tie Bu Tian and Yang Ruo Lan felt the heaviness of her mood. And, they felt extrely guilty.
"This Phantom Jade... I request Master to take it back," Tie Bu Tian bowed. Then, she respectfully held the Phantom Jade in her hands, and handed it over to Lan i Xian.
Lan i Xian looked at Tie Bu Tian with a complicated look in her eyes. Then, she heaved a deep sigh. She recalled, [I had received her as my apprentice since her infancy. I personally helped build her physical foundation until she was three years old. I cleared her ridians. After that, I would co to see her every year. And, I would stay with her for so ti every ti...]
[I stopped coming often until recently... when she beca capable of having breakthroughs by herself.]
[It can be said that my footprint is present in every stage of this disciple’s growth. Since she could only speak babbling language... and right up to the present. Isn’t she far more than just an apprentice in my heart?]
[I can’t ever have a child in my life since I’ve cultivated the Icy Heart Jade Bone. But, I’ve always treated Tie Bu Tian as my own daughter. I’ve taught her at my own expense. I’ve done my utmost to give her the best possible care...]
She was sitting quietly with a load on her mind. A long ti passed before she slowly stood up. Then, she walked up to Tie Bu Tian, and replied in a warm voice, "There’s no need. You are the Emperor of a nation. You need this item... I give it to you. It won’t be of much use if it stays with ."
She took it, and hung it around Tie Bu Tian’s neck with her own hands.
Tie Bu Tian choked with emotion. And, tears started to stream down her face. She sobbed and said, "Master..." Then, she threw herself into the arms of the Master, and hugged her tightly.
Lan i Xian sorted out the jade token for her. Tears welled-up in her eyes as she spoke with a smile, "Silly child... You’re such a silly girl ah... I don’t know how your life would turn out to be... alas!"
Suddenly, a startled look appeared on her face. She asked, "What’s this?"
Lan i Xian had unexpectedly slled a very subtle but an extrely pure ‘dicinal fragrance’. And, her heart had turned pale with fright!
She flicked her finger, and a purple jade bottle jumped out from Tie Bu Tian’s bosom.
She then looked closely at that sealed purple jade bottle. A subtle dicinal fragrance was sohow coming out of this sealed bottle. Lan i Xian’s complexion changed drastically. She waved her hand, and ordered, "You two go out."
The two shadows went out as instructed.
Lan i Xian facial expression had turned serious. She slowly unscrewed the bottle’s cap. And, a strong dicinal efficacy gushed out in the form of fus as she unscrewed the cap halfway. She sniffed it, and suddenly too two steps back. She stared at the purple jade bottle in her hand in disbelief. Then, she screwed-back the bottle’s cap at a lightning speed. And, she gripped it tightly in her hand. Her body shuddered, "Who gave it to you!?"
Her eyes had looked very luminous and sowhat scary when she had asked this question...
"It... It was a stranger... because I helped him once... um, saved his life..." Tie Bu Tian saw the scary look in her Master’s eyes. So, she didn’t ntion Chu Yang’s na.
"Stranger... what sort of a stranger?" Lan i Xian clicked her tongue, and inquired aggressively.
"His appearance was ever-changing. So, I don’t know his real appearance," Tie Bu Tian got even more apprehensive.
"You should thank them properly..." Lan i Xian stared at her for a while before she heaved a long sigh. Then, she burst into a joyful laughter.
Tie Bu Tian obviously didn’t wish to tell, but Lan i Xian had let-off this topic very easily. Moreover, she had let out a profound laughter for so reason...
She put the purple jade bottle back in Tie Bu Tian’s hand, and laughed gently. The more she laughed... the jubilant she beca...
"Master, what happened to you?" Yang Ruo Lan and Tie Bu Tian panicked, and asked. [Could it be that Master couldn’t withstand such a blow, and lost her sanity thereafter?]
"I am laughing... laughing because you have turned your misfortune into a blessing!" Lan i Xian laughed heartily. It seed as if she had been freed from her worries. In fact, she had beco radiant with delight. But, Yang Ruo Lan and Tie Bu Tian were baffled. [The Master looked so dejected a mont ago. So, it’s hard to imagine why has she suddenly beco so cheerful...?]
[What can be the reason behind this?]
Then, Lan i Xian rejoiced and asked, "Tian Tian, you are expecting the child in eight months, right?"
"Yes." Tie Bu Tian blushed and lowered her head.
"Ha ha ha... good!" Lan i Xian laughed and said, "I will visit with your Senior Sister to congratulate you at the scheduled ti! anwhile, there’s an important business I must tend to!"
She solemnly looked at Tie Bu Tian, "Rember this... your Icy Heart Jade Bone Saintly Technique has been wasted, but you mustn’t let the Icy Heart Power disperse; no matter what happens! This is sothing that concerns your life. You must bear my words in your mind!"
She paused after she spoke these words, and beca extrely serious!
Tie Bu Tian was obviously very puzzled in her heart, but she still agreed like a well-behaved child and replied, "Yes. I will be waiting respectfully for Master and Sister."
"Ah... this isn’t right," Lan i Xian paced back and forth several tis as she said, "This matter is of great importance. Shall I return? It’s hard to say how many stupid things this silly girl will have done by ti I return. She may end up ruining everything! I can’t go back now. I will stay here, and I will keep watch over you."
Tie Bu Tian and Yang Ruo Lan looked at each other in dismay; they were stupefied.
"Ruo Lan, I won’t go back with you at this ti. So, you must be careful on the way," Lan i Xian made up her mind and addressed Yang Ruo Lan.
"Yes."
"In addition... that business I have in the Upper Three Heavens... let’s set it aside for the ti being!" Lan i Xian snorted and continued, "It’s only a little loss. It doesn’t matter."
Yang Ruo Lan’s heart skipped crazily. [Only a little loss...? Master has staked a total of 10,000 purple crystals. Moreover... the final mont has already arrived. And, those 10,000 purple crystals will be gone in case she loses! This is equivalent to the overall stock that had been accumulated by all the previous generations of a small clan of the Upper Three Heavens!]
[And, Master said that she doesn’t want it?]
One must know that Tie Bu Tian was going to deliver after eight months. Lan i Xian could travel back and forth more than a dozen tis in this ti period, and she would still have a lot of spare ti on her hands. So, there was no rush. But, she was surprising going to give up on that wealth to wait for Tie Bu Tian’s delivery...?
This was very strange!
Yang Ruo Lan was about to get to the heart of matter when she heard a fine sound. It seed like that of a mosquito. [The technique to congregate sound into a thread?!]
"Ruo Lan, you will pass through the Middle Three Heavens on your way back. So, teach a ruthless lesson to that King of Hell Chu! Don’t beat him to death. But, you must break the bones in his body and leave him crippled!"
It was the voice of Lan i Xian, "He dared to have an illicit se*ual relation with my disciple, and he abandoned her after that. He can’t be forgiven that easily!"
Yang Ruo Lan moved her lips in reply. She couldn’t use this ability like her Master could. She then slanted her vision, and looked at the lower abdon of Tie Bu Tian.
"Don’t tell him anything! I shall personally settle this account with him soday!" Lan i Xian coldly snorted, "Leave that bastard alive. We can’t allow him to disturb your junior sister’s mood for now!"
She paused, and then further said, "Don’t even let your junior sister know about this!"
Yang Ruo Lan nodded. She also cussed in her heart with her entire strength... [That a*shole! How can he be so irresponsible?! How can he just pat his buttocks and leave like that? He can’t be forgiven for such a cri! I would’ve taught him a lesson even if the Master hadn’t asked to!]
An invisible storm had silently taken birth...
Lan i Xian went with Tie Bu Tian, and returned to the Imperial Palace. It appeared like she had made up her mind that she would stay by Tie Bu Tian’s side. It seed as if she had decided, [there’s no other matter that can be as important as my poor little disciple since she has already lost her entire cultivation! I must stay with her, and I must take care of her.] Even Tie Bu Tian was amazed by this developnt, and was unable to conceal her happiness.
... ...
Chu Yang was presently approaching Mt. Dingjun! It looked like a giant stone stool when looking from afar. It was tall and straight like a towering mountain peak. However, it seed to have been struck by an insanely powerful attack. It seed as if soone had sliced it across the middle with a knife, and had chopped it in half!
It was a great mountain, and was more than 10,000 feet tall. Yet, it unexpectedly turned out to be a giant platform!
The entire upper half of the mountain was missing!
"There’s a legend about Mt. Dingjun. Supre Expert ‘Morning Wind’ and Supre Expert ‘Drifting Cloud’ had fought a battle here a long ti ago. The Supre Expert Morning Wind had used the entirety of his power into a saber strike. Supre Expert Drifting Cloud had dodged the attack. And, the unstoppable saber energy had destroyed the entire upper half of Mt. Dingjun! The rubbles had scattered down the mountain, and ford the rock field below Mt. Dingjun."
Ji Mo was standing at the foot of Mt. Dingjun, and was gazing at it. He continued with infinite reverence, "That’s how Mt. Dingjun beca like this. Its summit is as flat and smooth as a mirror! The later generations gave a little finishing touch to it. And, they raised the four sides a bit higher. So, there’s a vast flat land in the middle now. It has beco a natural arena because of that!"
Chu Yang looked at this Mt. Dingjun, and tried to imagine how that remote battle would’ve taken place back then. [To think that the battle between two supre experts would be so devastating that a saber attack could destroy such a great mountain...! Such formidable power is genuinely fascinating.]
"Of course, this is rely a legend," Ji Mo smiled and said, "No one knows whether it’s true or false."
"This isn’t a legend," Sword Spirit suddenly inford Chu Yang, "Morning Wing and Drifting Cloud really did exist. And, this battle had indeed taken place..."
Chu Yang nodded.
Ji Mo still wanted to stay here and say sothing more. However, Ji Zhu walked over lazily while yawning and rubbing his eyes. Then, he sluggishly asked, "Why are you two idling here? Why haven’t you gone up already... what are you waiting for?"
Chu Yang genuinely felt like beating him up as soon as he spoke these words! [Motherfu*ker, you should be the last one in the world to make a comnt about ‘idling’! How could you have the guts to say that?!]
Ji Mo rolled his eyes. He didn’t turn his head, and simply dragged Chu Yang away from there. The two of them didn’t look back, and the reason for that was... [The food we ate a while ago with great difficultly will go to waste if we turn around and see this bastard Ji Zhu pick his feet.]
They moved forward on that road. They were about to turn a corner to go over to the foot of the mountain in order to enter the uphill road... but, they heard a long cry from the front. This cry echoed, and shook the mountains!
A majestic voice roared loudly, "ng Luo! I’m only asking you this – you will hand her over or not?"
Chu Yang and Ji Mo glanced at each other, and saw the answer in each other’s eyes. [This is Dong Wu Shang’s voice! But, why he is confronting ng Luo... that guy is one of the Top 8 Young Masters?]
They were about to increase their pace when they suddenly heard a strange howling of a wolf, "Ahwooh ~~~ ng Luo, you motherfu*ker! Ahwooh ~~~ will you hand her over or not you grandmotherfu*ker? Ahwooh~~ Trust ... I will kill you with my fart this instant! Ahwooh~~..."
Chu Yang nearly burst out laughing. [There’s no need to guess who the owner of this voice is. No one besides Luo Ke Di can produce such sounds!]
Ji Mo’s body quivered as he blurted out, "Dog Aunt! Fu*k ! My brothers are here!"
