Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
When he truly saw Xu Zhangqing, the thousand words Sun Peng had prepared were forgotten in an instant the moment he opened his mouth, leaving him speechless on the spot.
Seeing her husband say nothing, Lei Yun Na glanced at her daughter, forced a smile, and said, "Dao Friend Cai, why didn't you announce your coming so we could welcome you?"
Xu Zhangqing couldn't be bothered with pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Is that Shangxiang?"
Not seen for four years, she now looks a bit older than his own Linglong.
Her figure still held the softness of a child, yet carried a touch of the refinement of a cultivation clan child.
Her skin was still as fair as in childhood, her ear tips and nose tip carrying a faint blush.
Her baby fat had faded somewhat, her jawline showing a faint curve, no longer as round and chubby as before.
She had a pair of beautiful apricot eyes, her pupils flashing with a lively light.
Lei Yun Na quickly waved to her daughter: "Shangxiang, come over here, see who's come!"
Sun Shangxiang, who had been chasing butterflies, was stunned upon hearing this, then walked over with a doubtful expression.
However, she had never met Xu Zhangqing before, so naturally she did not know him, nor could she recognize him.
Even if he had been described before, it was very hard to recognize him all at once.
Lei Yun Na awkwardly reminded her: "The one your father and mother often mention."
"Oh!"
Sun Shangxiang suddenly understood: "You're the Cai... Uncle that Father and Mother always told me to remember?"
Xu Zhangqing's mouth corner twitched, and he thought to himself: "He's suffered from the disguise."
Lei Yun Na lightly patted her daughter's head: "Silly child, you should call... call..."
However, she for a moment also did not know how to address him.
Call him Master?
Haven't even become his disciple yet!
Call him Immortal Master?
Can't be more humble than them, right!
Xu Zhangqing saw the embarrassment of this couple before him, immediately patted Sun Shangxiang's head, then took out a pile of snacks and stuffed them over: "Shangxiang, be good, take them and eat."
Upon seeing food, Sun Shangxiang's eyes lit up: "So much food!"
However, she did not take them all away, but after giving some to her mother and father, she walked alone to the other side of the pavilion, then silently began eating.
Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Quite sensible."
Lei Yun Na was a bit anxious, immediately glared at her husband who was silent beside her.
Sun Peng then opened his mouth, but his voice inexplicably became hoarse: "Dao Friend Cai, I... I..."
Xu Zhangqing smiled, then pretended not to know: "Lin An said you want to see me, what's the matter?"
Sun Peng dry-coughed a few times, confirmed he could speak normally, then began to explain: "It's like this, during this period someone came to our place, claiming to be the current Sect Master of Linghe Sect, saying Shangxiang's constitution and spiritual root are both very special, therefore wanting to take her as a True Disciple."
Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "Isn't Linghe Sect gone?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Peng and Lei Yun Na's faces both changed greatly: "Gone?"
Xu Zhangqing seemed somewhat surprised: "You don't know?"
Sun Peng shook his head: "We only know that something happened in the Canglan Sea Region, the Long Family fled, as for other situations we completely don't understand."
Xu Zhangqing simply said: "You also know something happened in the Canglan Sea Region, therefore many cultivation sects and clans, one by one died or fled."
Linghe Sect only had a dozen or so people survive, the Sect Master was long gone."
After Sun Peng and Lei Yun Na heard this, they felt chills, then felt a bit of luck: "Fortunately we thought, rather than handing her over to strangers we don't know, it's better to first find you."
If we really handed Shangxiang over, I'm afraid..."
Although the words weren't finished, but no one here is a fool.
The other party's identity is unclear, if we really let him take the person away, I'm afraid we'd never see her again.
Xu Zhangqing curiously asked: "Just how special are Shangxiang's constitution and spiritual root?"
Sun Peng quickly said: "The spiritual root is Qingmu Spiritual Root."
This spiritual root, Xu Zhangqing was very familiar with: "Indeed it is a rare mutated wood spiritual root, can better get close to lingti, this child in the future can become an excellent... ling farmer."
Sun Peng continued: "As for the constitution, I heard it for the first time, called Thunder Skin Body."
Xu Zhangqing was stunned for a moment, then as if confirming asked again: "Wait, what constitution did you say?"
Sun Peng hesitated a bit, then repeated once: "Thunder Skin Body."
Xu Zhangqing's expression immediately became strange: "Such a good spiritual root, how could it be paired with such an evil constitution?"
Sun Peng and Lei Yun Na glanced at each other, their hearts simultaneously thumped, and asked quite anxiously: "Dao Friend Cai, is there a problem with this constitution?"
Xu Zhangqing seriously said: "Originally she possessing Qingmu Spiritual Root, simply a natural born ling farmer, but this constitution is specially meant to restrain wood spiritual roots and lingti."
Put bluntly, whatever she plants dies."
"Ah?"
Upon this, Sun Peng and Lei Yun Na were stunned silly.
Originally thought the union of both sides belonged to wood begets thunder, daughter in the future would be even better.
Never expected, indeed wood begets thunder, but the result is a bit... crooked.
No wonder before raising flowers and grass never survived three days, the reason actually comes from the constitution.
Xu Zhangqing looked toward the other side, where little Shangxiang sat silently eating, and sighed, "Her future is destined to be even more arduous than yours."
For a moment, the couple could not utter a word.
Sun Peng's eyes reddened.
Lei Yun Na's body went limp, and she sat down powerlessly, then began to sob softly.
"Father!"
"Mother!"
"Why are you crying?"
Hearing the commotion, Sun Shangxiang hurriedly put down the food in her hands and ran over.
She was very worried and anxious, yet did not know how to comfort them.
She did not even know that the reason her parents were crying was because of her.
After a while, Sun Peng took a heavy breath: "Dao Friend Cai, what should I do?"
Xu Zhangqing countered: "Where is that person who claims to be the current Sect Master of the Linghe Sect now?"
Sun Peng answered with a complex expression: "This person is named Qiao Baiyang. He first found us and spoke a bit about Shangxiang's situation, then said he would go to another place to bring the other disciple he had taken a liking to, and then go together to the Linghe Sect."
Xu Zhangqing asked further: "How many days has it been?"
Sun Peng replied immediately: "Three days."
【66】 Xu Zhangqing pondered: "In three days, regardless of whether there is a travel tool, not to mention a few thousand li, even ten thousand li can be reached; they are likely to have arrived."
Xu Zhangqing mused, "Three days' time, regardless of whether there's a Travel Tool, not to mention several thousand li, even ten thousand li could be reached, I reckon they'll arrive."
Sun Peng and Lei Yun Na both subconsciously looked toward their daughter, looking very worried.
Xu Zhangqing felt this matter was not simple, and his eyes narrowed at once: "What realm is this person?"
Sun Peng said with a solemn face: "To take Shangxiang away, he displayed his own Golden Core."
"What quality?"
"Human grade."
"Specific realm?"
"A bit old, probably not Early Stage."
"Then it's Middle to Late Stage!"
After inquiring, Xu Zhangqing became even more composed.
For a small place, especially one with only a group of Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, a Golden Core True Person indeed possesses a great oppressive feeling.
Look at Dongqing City — a single True Person Wang alone deterred all cultivation clans, forces, and the many Loose Cultivators.
But for the current Xu Zhangqing, a mere Human-grade Golden Core, and an old Human-grade Golden Core at that,
he truly did not put it in his eyes, and immediately stated:
"No matter, this time I did not come alone; there is also a Golden Core True Person of an immortal sect nearby, and he will act when the time comes!"
