The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 1035: Let Me Probe Your Memory

Siheng gave Bai Peng a faint glance.

Immediately, Bai Peng trembled all over and did not dare to speak further.

Nanli spoke up, "Don’t misunderstand, it’s his uncle who has returned to the Chi family. He had come to inquire about his whereabouts before."

"My uncle?!" Chi Xun was taken aback. In an instant, he became incredibly excited, jumping to Nanli’s side, "My uncle is still alive?!"

If it weren’t for Siheng being there, he would have grabbed Nanli by the shoulders, urging her to clarify everything.

Nanli looked at him carefully and, seeing that he still had family members alive, felt more at ease.

It seemed like it was truly a coincidence.

She nodded, "Yes."

Chi Xun was filled with excitement and tears glimmered at the corners of his eyes. He choked up as he said, "Please, Nanli, grant me a talisman that allows me to pass through the barrier. I... I want to go back and see my uncle."

He never expected there would be a chance to reunite with his family after their painful farewell years ago.

"You can return with us," Nanli replied, "Perhaps they are still at Jialan Celestial Mountain."

Chi Xun nodded eagerly.

But in his excitement, he didn’t forget the brothers who had been with him in the past.

He turned to them, "Are you willing to come with me?"

Wu Dapeng, who had just learned that Chi Xun was from the Chi family and that his uncle was still alive, felt his heart sink.

He feared that Chi Xun might not care for them anymore and wouldn’t want to be brothers with them again...

However, to his surprise, Chi Xun actually asked if they would come along!

"Of course we’ll go!" Shen Chong smiled, "How could we miss witnessing your reunion with your family?"

Chi Xun was deeply grateful. He had never spoken about his background, yet Shen Chong and the others had just learned of it, and they didn’t criticize him at all.

Bai Peng’s expression stiffened.

What was going on here?

Bai Xiuyou, on the other hand, was generous and spoke openly, "Chi Xun, congratulations!"

Chi Xun glanced back at her, his eyes flashing with a dark gleam. He nodded slightly, "Thank you."

"Let’s go," Siheng urged.

After bidding farewell to Grand Lady, they set off with Chi Xun and his companions back to Jialan Celestial Mountain.

The heavy snow had stopped.

To their surprise, Ancestor Chi and "Chi Fei" were still kneeling at the foot of the mountain.

They were covered in a thick layer of snow, and from a distance, they looked like two snowmen.

Ancestor Chi had been swearing internally, but "Chi Fei" remained immobile, his aura chilling, not willing to move. Ancestor Chi didn’t dare to make a move.

The mountain gate’s barrier opened.

Just as Ancestor Chi was about to shout, someone suddenly dashed forward.

"Uncle!"

Chi Xun rushed forward and hugged "Chi Fei," crying loudly, "It’s really you, Uncle!"

He still had family alive!

"Chi Fei" remained stiff for a moment, then relaxed, his voice softening, "It’s me..."

This moment of family reunion didn’t affect Siheng and Nanli much, but Ao Zhaozhao was a different case.

She pouted again, her mood visibly sour.

Siheng noticed and said, "Let’s head back."

Nanli was on alert, "Hurry!"

Back at Joy Spring Platform, Qiao Nanyi and Qing Feng both had reports to deliver.

One was that the formidable Treasure Hunting Group had delivered the items.

The other was that the Immortal World had no spiritual energy left, and cultivators were fighting over resources. It wasn’t peaceful.

Though Siheng was no longer the Supreme of the Immortal World, many smaller sect leaders and city lords had come to seek his help, hoping he could intervene to stop the bloodshed that would result in countless deaths.

"This has nothing to do with me..."

Siheng was about to say, but Ao Zhaozhao, with her pure eyes, looked at him with admiration and envy, "Uncle, you have such high status here. You’re amazing!"

Siheng hesitated, then looked at Ao Zhaozhao, "Do you think I should intervene in this matter?"

His divine mark emerged as they spoke.

Ao Zhaozhao stared at the divine mark and nodded.

"Of course! You are strong, and you have the divine mark granted by the heavens. You should bear more responsibility!"

"The Immortal World is in turmoil, and some cultivators will go astray, turning into devil cultivators or Demon Cultivators. In the end, the common people will suffer."

These were lessons taught to her by her father and mother.

Siheng fell into a brief silence, then said, "In that case, you should go out and intimidate those cultivators who are wreaking havoc. Once I finish what I’m dealing with, I’ll come up with a proper solution."

When these words left his mouth, Qiao Nanyi and Qing Feng were taken aback, and even Nanli was surprised.

Siheng had just recently recovered his immortal form, and his Asura Royal Clan bloodline had broken through the immortal seal. While he didn’t enjoy fighting or killing, he lacked empathy. If the matter didn’t concern his own people, he wouldn’t want to interfere.

Though Siheng sometimes listened to his own words, it was usually just on the surface.

To their surprise, Ao Zhaozhao’s simple words made Siheng change his mind, and it was truly a pleasant surprise.

Qiao Nanyi and Qing Feng didn’t hesitate; they immediately left to handle the matter.

Meanwhile, the Chi family had completed their reunion and was on their way up the mountain to thank Siheng and Nanli.

"Chi Fei" cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Jifeng Celestial Sovereign and Nanli for helping us, my nephew and I are finally reunited!"

Ancestor Chi took the opportunity to say, "Such a great favor, the Chi family has no way to repay it. From now on, the Chi family will always put Jialan Celestial Mountain first, working tirelessly and loyally, even to the point of death!"

Siheng, of course, understood Ancestor Chi’s intentions.

However, he didn’t expose it. Instead, he asked, "Your Chi family still has the Breath-Hiding Pearl, right?"

Ancestor Chi froze.

He immediately understood what Siheng was planning.

That Breath-Hiding Pearl was a precious item of the Chi family, and once borrowed out, it was unlikely to be returned.

He looked troubled, "Celestial Sovereign, the Breath-Hiding Pearl..."

"Chi Fei" quickly interjected, "It’s still here. If Jifeng Celestial Sovereign needs it, Ancestor will send someone to bring it right away."

Ao Zhaozhao’s eyes sparkled. With her small body, she thanked the Chi family members, "Thank you!"

Ancestor Chi’s mouth twitched.

The Chi family had no choice but to accept the gratitude.

Reluctantly, Ancestor Chi agreed, promising to send the Breath-Hiding Pearl back soon. He even added, "When Jifeng Celestial Sovereign has finished using it, I’ll have A’Xun come to collect it, so you won’t have to trouble yourself to make a trip."

Chi Xun couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

If they truly wanted to curry favor with Jifeng Celestial Sovereign, sending out the Breath-Hiding Pearl wouldn’t matter.

Especially "Chi Fei," who was fuming inside.

He had sent the Breath-Hiding Pearl to the Chi family for today’s occasion, but did Ancestor Chi really think it belonged to the Chi family?

But Siheng had only intended to borrow it briefly, so his expression remained unchanged as he answered, "Alright."

The Chi family members sighed in relief.

Not long after they left, Ancestor Chi sent the Breath-Hiding Pearl. However, he was filled with doubts and had tried to gather information, wanting to know what Siheng intended to do with it.

Siheng raised an eyebrow, "You want to know?"

Ancestor Chi chuckled, "I’m not interested in much. I just want to see if Celestial Sovereign has any need for my help."

Siheng stood up, walked toward Ancestor Chi, and said coldly, "There is one thing."

Ancestor Chi’s face lit up with anticipation, "Please, Celestial Sovereign, command me!"

"Let me probe your memory," Siheng’s eyes turned ice-cold.
