The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 192 - 196: The Happy Life of the Second-Generation Rich (7)
Chapter 192: Chapter 196: The Happy Life of the Second-Generation Rich (7)
Xu Huaiying furrowed his brow, appearing utterly bewildered, which irked Chang Yuan greatly.
"Senior Brother, what exactly do you mean?"
Xu Huaiying, showing a hint of impatience on his face due to the presence of the sect leader before him, struggled to keep his composure as he spoke, "Senior Brother, if there’s nothing else, I need to urgently find the person daring enough to sever half of Sword Peak."
Chang Yuan replied irritably, "No need to look further, it was Su Li."
Xu Huaiying’s immediate reaction was to think his Senior Brother was joking with him.
Su Li had been his Daoist couple and they had lived together for forty years. Knowing her character and cultivation as well as anyone else, if not better, he thought it impossible. Besides, he figured she was likely trapped in the Secret Realm, in a dire situation, possibly on the brink of death as they spoke.
Claiming it was her doing seemed less believable to him than an invasion by an external enemy.
Although Chang Yuan might not guess exactly what Xu Huaiying was thinking, he knew him well enough, making his heart sink once again; he wondered how he had never noticed this Inner Sect Disciple of his uncle was somewhat foolish.
Without beating around the bush any longer, Chang Yuan flicked his sleeve and left with the words, "When the time comes for the twins’ hundred-day celebration, she will come to visit; you better think of a way to deal with her."
Could it really be true? Could Su Li have actually survived and emerged from the Secret Realm?
If that was the case, it seemed she might have had some fortuitous encounter.
Xu Huaiying’s expression turned sour in an instant, but not from worry about Su Li’s reaction, rather he feared his newly wedded wife and his twins would be aggrieved.
He had never considered the existence of another child of his own.
Chang Yuan, overwhelmed with fury to the point of confusion, had forgotten that the whole issue had begun with a few Outer Disciples; although he knew that, if investigated seriously, they could hardly be blamed, it was they who had faced his rage first.
Back in the main hall, still furious, Chang Yuan ordered his own disciples to deal with those Outer Disciples according to the sect rules, displaying utter ruthlessness.
Even so, he remained stifled with discomfort.
However, the disciple who had just gone down hastily returned with news that the Outer Disciples had slipped away during his time at Sword Peak.
"Sect Leader, the enforcers of the sect have already gone after them..."
Chang Yuan, with a headache, waved his hand dismissively, "Forget it, don’t make a big fuss. It’s just a few Outer Disciples."
Indeed, they were just a few Outer Disciples. Chang Yuan might have said this, but a sense of heaviness briefly crossed his mind.
The fact that these minor disciples in the Qi Refinement Realm had managed to evade capture by his disciples in his hall suggested there was someone secretly helping them.
This was going to complicate matters.
In a town not too far from Kunlun Mountain, several not-too-old cultivators were bowing to a beauty with a child.
"Thank you, Daoist Lord, for aiding us despite the past grievances."
"Heh, you really did make a decisive break, leaving Kunlun Mountain. Are you truly without regrets? Maybe by now you’re already on the Sect Leader’s blacklist..."
The person who spoke had a melodious voice that was intriguingly tingling, unseen yet undeniably beautiful.
And this group, who else could it be but Su Li.
It appeared that when she transformed into a rainbow arc with her son, she hadn’t gone far.
It just so happened that at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, she encountered these fleeing young disciples.
With a sweep of her divine sense, Su Li knew that these people were about to be caught by a few followers tailing them.
As if unafraid of escalating the situation, Su Li, with a flicker in her eyes and a grasp with her palm, swept the young disciples away with her.
"We have no regrets. Although to others, it may only be a meaningless life, we still cherish it very much."
Su Li was increasingly impressed with this leading junior disciple in front of him, decisive, resolute, and tenacious...
Apart from a poor Spirit Root, he possessed all the basic qualities of an excellent cultivator.
"Very good, very good, I am growing more fond of you."
"I am an elder of the Joy Sect. If you don’t mind, you could come and join our sect," Su Li said leisurely.
The few younger ones behind him hesitated, showing reluctance on their faces.
Joy Sect, although a Righteous Path sect, did not have an exceptionally good reputation among cultivators because the disciples in the sect were too unrestrained and indulgent, especially since there was a faction within the sect that specialized in the dual cultivation of joy...
Only the original owner was a rare oddity out of the Joy Sect; he was taciturn and meek, showing none of the usual style of the Joy Sect.
The leading junior disciple pondered only for a moment before he agreed immediately.
Aside from him, a few disciples who were closer to him also followed his decision, two men and two women in total, while a few others dispersed on their own.
"This is the sect’s token. Take these tokens to the Joy Sect, and someone will receive you there."
Su Li flicked his wrist, and four tokens landed in their hands.
"Oh, I forgot to mention that I have a cultivation technique in my hands that does not rely on Spirit Root and can be cultivated up to the level of Great Power... when the time comes, you can follow me and learn this technique."
The young disciples were visibly overwhelmed. Such a cultivation technique was unheard of in the Returning Ruins Continent, not to mention its independence from the Spirit Root...
If word got out, it would definitely cause bloodshed from people fighting over it.
Su Li spoke lightly, seemingly unaware of the immense pressure his words could put on the young disciples.
The cultivation technique he referred to was actually the Nameless Dao Scripture he had obtained in a previous small world.
In this world rich in Spiritual Power, Su Li intended to pass on the cultivation technique but was reluctant to go through the trouble of choosing disciples.
However, by a stroke of luck, the male disciple in front of him was quite promising, and somewhat reluctantly, he decided to take him in.
It was only now that Su Li learned this junior disciple’s name, which was Changsheng.
Changsheng led the other few junior disciples towards the direction of the Joy Sect, while Su Li, accompanied by Xu Qingchuan, decided to stay in this small town.
Since he was over two years old and had only left once with the original owner, Xu Qingchuan, the little boy, was only familiar with his tiny slice of the world on Kunlun Mountain.
The little boy clung to Su Li’s embrace, unwilling to let go, and Su Li was pleased with this.
As a Great Cultivator, the slight weight in her arms was almost negligible.
The small town did not have many novelties, but the little boy had never seen them before, and he was excited about everything, his face lit up with excitement.
Su Li bought him a candied haw—an all-time favorite of mortal children—which he cherished so much that he held off eating it. If not for Su Li’s reminder that the sugar would melt, he would have been too reluctant to even lick it.
The little boy gave it a lick, his eyes lit up, "Mom, the candied haw tastes so good..."
"Next time, Mom will buy you another."
Just as the mother and son were enjoying their warm moment, they walked past two cultivators each wearing a sword.
"Did you hear..."
"Are you talking about that matter involving Lord Changli and his Daoist couple?"
