Chapter 456: The Future of Xu Zhixia! The Long Hu Great Method Creates a Water Mansion

Evening, the suburbs of Jinmen.

Huaqing Villa.

Within this manor-like community, there are only twelve villas in total, designed and built according to the traditional "Twelve Flower Deities" theme, arranged according to the different seasons.

With such a grand scale, those who can settle here are naturally not ordinary people; wanting to get a house here is not something that can be done just by having money.

Courtyard No. 6, Qinghe Small Courtyard.

The pond in the courtyard is full of blooming lotus flowers, and the clear surface of the pond reflects the shadow of the lonely moon.

The lights are on in the second-floor room, and a graceful figure stands on the balcony. The bright moonlight spills onto her, making her delicate and exquisite figure appear even more charming, and even her tight silk pajamas emit a unique soft glow.

"Zhixia, why didn't you go to the banquet tonight?"

The door opened, and a beautiful woman with a slender waist and lingering charm walked in.

On the balcony, Xu Zhixia did not look back, still watching the night scene outside.

"You child, I'm talking to you, did you hear me?" Wei Qingshuang frowned and walked over with dissatisfaction.

"Mom, you know, I don't like such occasions."

"Today is a family banquet." Wei Qingshuang said in a deep voice: "Strictly speaking, your father and Xu Changshou are cousins, you should call him Uncle."

"I really didn't expect that a person who was abandoned by the clan when he was young and left home for many years could have such cultivation." Wei Qingshuang couldn't help but sigh.

For Xu family disciples, whether it is the first branch, the second branch, or the third branch, the resources and cultivation obtained before adulthood are not much different. Once a sword Qi seed is condensed and different Daos are chosen, the gap in the cultivation of the Dragon-Slaying Method will gradually emerge.

Those who have no talent and make slow progress will only be gradually marginalized at this time, until they are finally abandoned.

Back then, Xu Changshou left the Xu family at this time.

More than thirty years have passed in a flash. The man who left home in a fit of pique back then without obtaining the ancestor's Dharma intent has walked out a path of his own, refining his Golden Core, and achieving great success in his life cultivation.

Such cultivation can be called the absolute top tier in the current second branch.

"Speaking of which, you should also call him Uncle. On an occasion like today, you didn't even show your face, it's too rude." Wei Qingshuang said with dissatisfaction.

Although everyone is in the second branch, there are gaps between each other in the second branch.

Like Xu Zhixia's father, Xu Mingzhang, at this age, he is only barely at the Gao Gong Realm, and his life will be like this, there will be no further improvement.

With such a realm, he naturally could not enter the core of the second branch's power.

"Mom, you also said that this Uncle has been away from home for more than thirty years. No matter how you perform, you won't close the distance much." Xu Zhixia said lightly.

"Why be so snobbish?"

"You child, how are you talking? What is called snobbish?" Wei Qingshuang pushed Xu Zhixia.

The world is bustling, all for profit. The world is jostling, all for profit.

When Xu Changshou was down and out back then, naturally everyone avoided him. Now that he is successful, there are good people around him. There is enthusiasm, and there is family affection. Everyone gathered around with the greatest sincerity and kindness.

This is human nature, but it is also reality.

"Who am I doing this for?" Wei Qingshuang said with a gloomy expression.

"I can't count on your father. I only have you as a daughter. If I want to plan a good future for you, can I not be a little snobbish?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhixia's expression tightened, and a touch of guilt surged in her eyes.

"Mom..."

"I know you have always blamed me for breaking you and Zhang Fan up..." Wei Qingshuang changed the subject.

"I didn't."

"You didn't say it, but you resented it in your heart." Wei Qingshuang shook her head: "Don't blame Mom for being cruel."

"You are surnamed Xu. If that Zhang Fan is an ordinary person, you are destined to have no results."

"That day, he cut my Dao cultivation in Yujing City, and I knew he was not an ordinary person. You silly child talked to him for so long without even figuring out his background."

Speaking of this, Wei Qingshuang touched Xu Zhixia's head.

That day, in Yujing City, she saw Zhang Fan, but her words and posture were a bit arrogant. This young man forcibly detained her Yuanshen and cut her Dao cultivation, causing her to fall from the Gao Gong Realm, and she has not been able to recover to this day.

That kind of domineering and means left a deep impression on her to this day.

"At that time, I knew that this Zhang Fan was a ruthless and cunning character. His hidden depths were too great, and he concealed himself too well. Even if I hadn't broken you two up back then, you wouldn't have had a good outcome," Wei Qingshuang sighed.

Hearing this, Xu Zhixia's lips moved, wanting to say something, but held it back.

Ruthless?

If Wei Qingshuang knew that Zhang Fan killed Xu Banshan and Xu Changnian in Guixi Province and swallowed their Yuanshen, she would probably know what true ruthlessness is.

However, Xu Zhixia has always hidden these things in her heart and never mentioned a word to anyone.

"This time, your Uncle Changshou didn't come back alone."

Just at this moment, Wei Qingshuang changed the subject and suddenly said.

"I heard that he also brought back a disciple."

"Disciple!?"

"Yes, it's a pity that he didn't appear at this banquet, but he should also be a young talent."

Speaking of this, Wei Qingshuang lowered her voice and said: "I heard that the two brothers Yinhe and Yindeng have privately tested your Uncle Changshou's disciple, and they suffered a big loss."

"Hmm!?" Hearing this, Xu Zhixia couldn't help but be stunned.

"Xu Yinhe is a master at the Great Being Realm."

"Who said he isn't?" Wei Qingshuang said in a deep voice.

"Three years ago, Xu Yinhe obtained a great opportunity in the 【Water Mansion】..."

A touch of envy surged in Wei Qingshuang's beautiful eyes: "The creation of the Water Dragon Spitting Pearl, it enlightened his Yuanshen and also achieved his cultivation."

"Otherwise, how could he have such cultivation at a young age?"

Speaking of this, Wei Qingshuang's bright eyes became even brighter.

"Your Uncle Changshou's disciple was able to make even Xu Yinhe suffer a great loss; his future is limitless."

Wei Qingshuang took Xu Zhixia's hand and said earnestly, "Zhixia, originally Mom wanted to betroth you to the Ge family..."

"Unfortunately, Ge Zhenyan died in Yujing City."

"You must seize this opportunity. If you can form a marriage alliance with your Uncle Changshou's disciple, you will definitely be happier than your mother in the future."

"In this way, it wouldn't count as marrying out, and we could also gain the support of Xu Changshou. From now on, our family's status within the Second Branch would be extraordinary."

The more Wei Qingshuang spoke, the more excited she became. A strange radiance appeared on her middle-aged face, as if this beautiful vision had already become reality.

"Mom, you're getting more and more outrageous. I haven't even met the person," Xu Zhixia interrupted.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't met. I'll find an opportunity later to arrange for you two to meet," Wei Qingshuang said with a smile.

At this moment, she had once again seen hope for life.

Xu Zhixia's red lips moved slightly, wanting to refuse, but looking at Wei Qingshuang's hopeful expression, she ultimately held back.

"What is his name?"

"His surname is Zhao... his name is Zhao Jiexuan!" Wei Qingshuang said in a low, firm voice.

The night grew deep.

Zhang Fan walked alone along the Hai River, strolling casually.

He had come to Jinmen from afar this time to witness the legendary 【Xu Ancestor Sword】 and wanted to find clues regarding the 【Corpse-Slashing Sword】 from it. After arriving, he discovered that the waters of the Pure Yang Xu family were deeper than usual.

Precisely because of this, before things were finalized with Xu Changshou, he did not want to create extra complications, so he left the Shanshui Clubhouse directly.

"The Feng Shui layout of this Jinmen is truly interesting."

Standing by the river, Zhang Fan could feel the entire river running through the city of Jinmen, with this as the core, branching out into countless tributaries.

This is what is called all waters returning to the source, the Water Dragon gathering its head.

In ancient times, the waterways here could facilitate trade throughout the world and circulate wealth, but they were also prone to gathering water-based baleful Qi and brewing disasters.

Precisely because of this, the city layout of Jinmen is that of a spirit turtle, serving as a town-suppressing object to suppress the Water Dragon and dissolve the water-based baleful Qi.

"A bit interesting. The person who designed Jinmen City must have been a master. In this way, this Water Dragon can perfectly echo the Mountain Dragon of the capital..."

"When the dragon returns to the great sea, the Kingly Qi is formed."
