Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 138 - 105: The Three Ancestors Witness the Elephant and Foresee a Crisis
...
In a remarkably luxurious mansion within Chuannan Prefecture,
it’s hard to imagine that in such a prime location in Chuannan Prefecture City, there’s an enormous artificial pond where various colored koi fish swim and flick their tails.
There are six people, either standing or sitting, in a small pavilion by the pond.
The leader among them is Xie Xuan, the Steward of the Taiyi Alliance stationed in Southern Sichuan.
His expression is calm, holding a fishing rod, wearing a Dou Niu Buqing Luo Robe, his face tranquil, his aura deep as an abyss.
His eyes are seemingly closed yet open, his face calm, his aura deep as an abyss.
He likes fishing very much.
Behind him is a young man in his twenties, meticulously boiling water and brewing tea.
The young man has a distinctive feature: a pronounced forehead, prominent head angles, a small red mark, a fair complexion, and piercing eyes.
After serving tea to Xie Xuan, he bows and waits quietly.
Opposite him sits a man in a purple-red embroidered tiger robe, around forty years old, with a beard as long as a finger, adding an air of authority.
His posture contrasts completely with Xie Xuan’s; he seems somewhat impatient. He has no interest in fishing, occasionally glancing at Xie Xuan’s fishing rod, almost restless.
His name is Jiang Bai, the Steward of the Jiang Family stationed in Nanchuan.
After a long time.
"Old Xie, there’s a bite!"
With a fish on the hook, Xie Xuan pulls up the rod, and a tri-color koi swishes its tail, leaping out of the water along the fishing line.
Xie Xuan smiles faintly, grabs the big fish, and hands it to the page boy nearby.
Only then can one see that his fishing rod has no hook, merely a straight line.
"It has a dragon’s transformation look, yet... falls short."
"When constructing this pond, I beat Yu Zhen from Dragon Gate and added a drop of Dragon Blood. It’s been nurtured for so long, yet none have the dragon’s transformation appearance. Someday, when they can be cooked into some delicacies, it would be fully utilized."
He speaks of irrelevant matters.
Jiang Bai glances sideways at him, "You said it, treat me to dragon fish meat, don’t cheat!"
Xie Xuan knows Jiang Bai’s temperament and helplessly replies, "Want to eat dragon fish, go ahead and fish it yourself? Waiting for me to fish for you?"
Jiang Bai turns and tells the page boy, "Add more vinegar, I love it."
Xie Xuan notices the young man behind seemingly has something to say, and softly speaks.
"Is there something?"
The young man’s face remains impassive as he softly speaks.
"The Elephant Master invited by Jiufeng Mountain has entered the city."
Xie Xuan’s hand movement does not change at all, merely smiling and saying, "Did the people sent by the Celestial Destiny Sect perish?"
The man nods slightly, "Marquis Hei, Illusion Woman, and Kui Snake are all dead."
When hearing about the death of Marquis Hei and Kui Snake, Xie Xuan’s expression remains unchanged. Yet upon learning that Illusion Woman is also dead, his eyes finally reveal a slight fluctuation.
Who could kill Illusion Woman?
It seems Jiufeng Mountain truly put effort into this.
"This fish is rather nice."
The man continues, "The Dragon Gate people seem to want to use him for something, reaching certain agreements with Jiufeng Mountain’s Lin Zushan..."
"Haha, Dragon Gate people are deeply resentful towards Shi Moyun and the Nan Xuan behind him; just fishing."
"Then what about us?"
"No need to pay attention."
After Xie Xuan finishes speaking, he sees Jiang Bai returning.
They spoke without intending to hide from him, Jiang Bai heard everything.
His expression is somewhat odd.
"Old Xie, the Elephant Master you mentioned, is it the one named Xu Guang?"
Xie Xuan raises an eyebrow, "You don’t know? The Elephant Master is quite famous."
The young man understands, steps forward, and tells some stories about Xu Guang.
Jiang Bai rarely falls silent for a moment, "Old Xie, let me advise you, you’d better not mess around with that Great Beast..."
He recalls earlier this year when the Three Ancestors returned from Kunlun.
Upon returning, the Three Ancestors ordered an investigation into the Thirty-Six Great Bandits to see if they had sold a Great Beast to Zuo Chuan, whether it’s alive or dead.
Recently, he went to Wangdang Mountain and didn’t eat well there, intending to grab a meal at Xie Xuan’s place, never expecting...
The Great Beast that caught the attention of figures like the Three Ancestors likely has impressive parents.
At least, they must be comparable to the Three Ancestors of his family.
Yet he doesn’t know that when the Great Beast’s overlord went into a frenzy, the Jiang Family’s Three Ancestors fled away...
Xie Xuan looks at Jiang Bai quite seriously, but Jiang Bai does not fully disclose.
He tacitly refrains from further questioning, merely feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Shao Yu, would you like to sit down and eat something?"
The young man understands; the two are about to discuss something, so he wisely steps back.
Actually, he still wants to ask whether Xie Xuan is involved and whether he should do something. After all, Xu Guang’s reputation spreads so quickly in the city; it seems like Xie Xuan’s handiwork is the driving force behind it.
Ultimately, he does not ask.
His name is Shao Yu, the fourth member of the Inter-Sect of the Taiyi Alliance!
...
Two days later.
At noon.
In a huge estate near the suburban area of the Xiang Family, Xu Guang watches from afar as General Wei enjoys a rare delicacy.
The Xiang Family, after all, is a family with Innate Experts, with plenty of Profound Earth nurtured by the family’s innate martial artists, occupying more than ten acres, all planted with Horn Flower Wood that General Wei loves to eat and is beneficial for his growth.
Even with General Wei’s appetite, this area is basically enough to meet his daily food consumption.
He likes such places, spacious, ample food.
"Make less noise when you leave, don’t bump into the newly planted trees, and don’t steal their Profound Earth, understand!"
General Wei’s golden eyes shimmer, but he does not respond.
Xu Guang is disinclined to speak much; the Profound Earth, after entering the Innate stage, he found it not as prestigious as imagined, as this substance coalesces from Primordial Qi, not essential for Innate Experts.
