Chapter 241: Brother, do you no longer want me?

And while Lu Yuan stared blankly at the flying boat above,

Su Liyan beside him could no longer hold back, her jade hand grabbing Lu Yuan's arm, somewhat flustered she said:

"Brother... I... how could I be a mortal?"

A few days ago, Su Liyan had told Gu Qingwan that everyone could cultivate immortality from now on and live longer.

But……

This encounter with a true immortal.

The result, however, was……

I'm just a mortal?

If that's the case, not being an immortal means I'll die in a few decades, right?

Su Liyan isn't afraid of dying of old age; to be honest, even if she could cultivate immortality, she had never thought about what would happen hundreds of years later.

Su Liyan thought more about having children in the future and them growing up.

But if my husband and Sister Wan could cultivate immortality while I couldn't, that… would be too sorrowful.

Lu Yuan turned his head to look at his wife's pitiful appearance, and he was also completely dazed.

This can't be.

My wife definitely isn't a mortal.

Before, my wife could fly on a sword, and recently she could fly directly; Lu Yuan has seen all of this.

How could this be an ordinary person?

The words of Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were naturally known to Ji Lingxiao, who stood on the flying boat.

At this moment, Ji Lingxiao gazed somewhat strangely at Lu Yuan and Su Liyan below.

Not a mortal?

But there is not a trace of spiritual power fluctuation on her.

Huh?

This, however, made Ji Lingxiao somewhat strange.

I, a proper Quasi-Emperor,

still can't see through a person…… no…… is it the realm of a little fox?!

Ji Lingxiao, who had landed on the flying boat, blinked.

Meanwhile, the disciple beside him frowned and muttered:

"Just a mortal, with not a trace of fluctuation."

……

Lu Yuan below, seeing his wife on the verge of tears, hastily threw the two boxes in his hand.

He directly pulled his wife, who was about to cry, into his embrace to comfort her, saying:

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry, don't listen to that old woman's nonsense; we don't know whether we can cultivate immortality."

Lu Yuan wondered if it was because of the Orchid Heart??

Is it because of the Orchid Heart that it shields against others' scrutiny?

Or what?

This Lu Yuan really is a bit confused; after all, the only exceptional thing about his wife's body is this Orchid Heart.

Besides this, Lu Yuan couldn't think of any other reason.

But regardless, his wife is definitely able to cultivate immortality, and she has already reached Golden Core Great Perfection.

Other things, he'll study later.

Immediately, Lu Yuan took his wife, who was about to whimper, back inside.

However, just as the three were about to walk back inside, a graceful figure suddenly descended.

Ji Lingxiao blocked the doorway with a face as cold as frost.

Lu Yuan's earlier remark "old woman" really made Ji Lingxiao angry.

Again "old woman," again "nonsense."

I am Ji Lingxiao!!

Ask around in South Qingling Prefecture—who doesn't know my name?!

And… and "old woman"!!

Am I really that old!!

No woman would like being evaluated like that.

Especially, Ji Lingxiao is not ugly!!

It's just that nowadays talented people emerge in abundance, and Ji Lingxiao belongs to the previous generation.

And in the previous generation, Ji Lingxiao was once the First Immortal Maiden.

Whether appearance or strength, both were thus.

Even now, Ji Lingxiao is a woman pursued and admired by many cultivators!!

Moreover, Ji Lingxiao will become the fastest person in South Qingling Prefecture's history to attain the rank of Great Emperor!!

Being insulted by a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator.

If it weren't for Ji Lingxiao fearing karmic retribution now, which would increase the heavenly tribulation when she attempts to break through to Great Emperor, she would really want to slap Lu Yuan to death with one palm.

"Since you doubt my judgment, I will confirm it again; if there is no mistake, I will let you know the consequences of insulting me!"

Ji Lingxiao, with a cold stare toward Lu Yuan, then extended her jade hand, placing it on Su Liyan's head, a lustrous white light flashing.

Three seconds later.

Ji Lingxiao's expression, in these three seconds, was just like a face-changing mask.

At first, Ji Lingxiao's face was full of astonishment.

Soon, his face was full of disbelief.

Now, he is completely bewildered.

Indeed, Ji Lingxiao's mindset was greatly affected by his previous failure to break through to the Great Emperor, but even with a completely Quasi-Emperor mindset,

Ji Lingxiao absolutely could not control his expression.

"Bone age... four months... golden... Golden Core Great Perfection?!!"

Ji Lingxiao looked at Su Liyan in Lu Yuan's arms and stammered.

At night, seven-thirty.

Lu Yuan's home had its doors and windows closed, and the curtains were drawn.

Besides Lu Yuan and his two wives, there were Ji Lingxiao and his disciple, plus Mother Su and Younger Sister Yulan.

Mother Su and Younger Sister Yulan stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Regarding the conversation just now, the two of them still haven't come to their senses.

My son-in-law... and my daughter... are both immortals??

Especially... my daughter, her talent is extremely formidable?

Mother Su felt as if she were listening to heavenly scriptures.

"Even if you tell me ten thousand times, I won't go."

Su Liyan looked at Ji Lingxiao before her, extremely stubborn.

At this moment, Ji Lingxiao looked and really wanted to bang his head to death.

Over this hour or so, Ji Lingxiao really felt he had worn his lips raw from speaking.

Su Liyan simply refuses to go to the Linglan Sword Sect.

Ji Lingxiao truly cannot understand why someone would refuse cultivation.

Why would someone refuse immortality??

Ji Lingxiao's nature is very gentle, but now he is about to lose his composure.

Faced with Su Liyan before him, Ji Lingxiao feels he has absolutely no way to communicate.

No matter what he says or how he explains.

Su Liyan is just two words.

Not going!

Ji Lingxiao took a deep breath, again tried his best to control his emotions, and continued gently:

"You believe in this seat, you have the bearing of a Great Emperor, you will be the strongest person in South Qingling Prefecture, you will live forever, you will witness more and more magnificent waves."

"By then, you will definitely laugh at how ignorant your present self is."

But Su Liyan looked at Ji Lingxiao with utter stubbornness and said:

"If it's just being alone, what's the point?"

"Watching my husband and children die one by one, unable to do anything, I don't want this kind of immortality at all."

Su Liyan said this very firmly.

After Su Liyan finished speaking, Ji Lingxiao immediately looked at her and said seriously:

"What you say, compared to your infinite life, is merely the tiniest beginning of your life, and these are insignificant compared to what you will encounter later."

Ji Lingxiao spoke until his mouth was dry.

Ji Lingxiao knew, all this was because... Lu Yuan, who was over there lowering his head to eat.

This Su Liyan now... is completely fallen in love.

Love is not bad.

Among cultivators, there also exist dao companions.

Among them, there are many moving, beautiful love stories.

But... Lu Yuan's aptitude is far inferior.

Even if I bring Lu Yuan into the Linglan Sword Sect, and pile various elixirs on his mediocre aptitude, at most I can only elevate him to Nascent Soul.

After that, it's up to Lu Yuan himself.

But he definitely has no prospects.

But Su Liyan is different; she absolutely has a chance to enter the Great Emperor realm.

She is absolutely different from Lu Yuan.

This Lu Yuan is Su Liyan's burden.

Of course, Ji Lingxiao could also bring Lu Yuan along, but sooner or later Lu Yuan will perish.

By then, it will definitely affect Su Liyan's state of mind.

Moreover, the impact at that time will be far greater than now.

After all, these two people have only just gotten married.

They haven't even been together a year; this is the best time to sever ties, and the longer it's dragged out, the more troublesome it becomes!

So...

For a moment, a hint of killing intent and cold light appeared in Ji Lingxiao's almond-shaped eyes as he looked at Lu Yuan.

However, this slight change was instantly sensed by Su Liyan.

Almost instantly, Su Liyan immediately stepped in front of Lu Yuan, who was lowering his head to eat as if nothing were wrong.

Su Liyan looked at Ji Lingxiao, excited and shouting angrily:

"If you dare to do anything to my man, I will certainly not go along with your wishes!"

After Su Liyan finished speaking, Ji Lingxiao came back to his senses.

He also knew in his heart that he certainly could not do that.

But this Su Liyan...

Ji Lingxiao really wanted her so much.

Ji Lingxiao has already been working on cultivating the next generation these years.

Once he has enough time to successfully breakthrough to Great Emperor, next he will need to start preparing to transcend mortality and enter sainthood.

This Linglan Sword Sect will also be handed over to the next Sect Leader.

And the next Sect Leader is what determines the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the Linglan Sword Sect over tens of thousands of years.

It can be said that choosing the right next Sect Leader will allow further progress; choosing wrongly would mean eternal doom.

Ji Lingxiao did not want the Linglan Sword Sect to end with his generation.

It's just this Su Liyan...

She has truly made up her mind...

He himself cannot force it.

Ji Lingxiao pondered and pondered.

Forget it, forget it...

He still has plenty of time, and Su Liyan and Lu Yuan are currently in the midst of their sweet moments.

At such a time, forcibly separating these two people.

Just thinking about it is indeed inhumane.

Then just wait a bit.

Moreover, Ji Lingxiao felt he didn't need to wait too long.

Perhaps in ten years, or twenty years.

When their passion has been completely worn out, then coming at that time would definitely be much better than now.

The problem is this...

Ji Lingxiao feared that people from other sects would discover Ji Lingxiao.

At that time they would seize...

That would really be bad.

So, Ji Lingxiao thought, after he returns to the Linglan Sword Sect, he will send people to protect the Zhou Imperial Dynasty.

Cultivators are forbidden!

Anyway, for now this is all that can be done.

Ji Lingxiao felt it was truly a pity; Su Liyan's bone age had already reached Golden Core Great Perfection in just a few months.

This is despite lacking a heart method!

If she had a heart method, plus having me as her master.

How terrifying would Su Liyan become?

She could very well reach the pinnacle in just ten years!

But now he can only let himself wait idly for ten or twenty years, which is maddening.

Forget it, forget it.

Anyway, ten or twenty years for a cultivator is nothing more than a snap of the fingers.

Immediately, Ji Lingxiao rose and prepared to leave.

And after rising, Ji Lingxiao saw Lu Yuan being blocked behind by Su Liyan.

Ji Lingxiao inexplicably felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Ji Lingxiao didn't even know what Su Liyan liked about this Lu Yuan.

If you say it's his looks, that's true—he does have a decent appearance.

But it's not as if Lu Yuan is the only good-looking person in the world.

If you say it's because he pities Su Liyan.

From the moment he entered the door until now, Lu Yuan has been sitting with his legs crossed, head down, eating.

He eats with such gusto.

Head down, gulping down his food voraciously.

Where is any concern for his wife at all!

With this utter lack of concern, what does Su Liyan see in this Lu Yuan!!

Ji Lingxiao simply cannot understand.

He shook his head.

Ji Lingxiao rose, looked at Su Liyan, and said seriously:

"Just because you won't listen now doesn't mean you won't later; I will come again."

Su Liyan, however, looked at Ji Lingxiao and said stubbornly:

"Even if you come a hundred times, the result will be the same; I only want to be with my man."

Seeing Su Liyan like this, Ji Lingxiao couldn't help but sigh.

This Su Liyan...

Ji Lingxiao truly adored her.

Especially this stubborn temper, it's just like my own; this little temper really suits my taste.

However, this matter, just as Ji Lingxiao had thought a moment ago, in ten years or twenty years, I will come again.

Having said that, Ji Lingxiao waved his hand, and the room door opened.

At this moment, the backyard here was already packed with onlookers.

Now not only have all the people from Lu Yuan's siheyuan come, but the entire Dongming Community has crowded in.

Immortal!!

This is the legendary immortal, and naturally everyone wants to see.

As for how the other people of Dongming Community knew about it.

It's naturally that colorful, hovering flying ship above the backyard.

Everyone, upon seeing that flying ship, ran over.

Everyone was curiously gazing, wanting to catch a glimpse of the immortal's demeanor, but after arriving, they found that with the doors and windows closed, they couldn't see anything.

However, the room door had just opened.

When Ji Lingxiao was about to leave, Lu Yuan wiped his mouth, stood up, and closed the door again.

This scene left the people inside a bit dazed.

At this moment, Lu Yuan stood at the doorway, having swallowed everything in his mouth, then looked at Su Liyan still standing by the dining table and smiled, saying:

"Daughter-in-law, go with her; anyway, going to cultivate immortality doesn't mean you can't come home."

Lu Yuan's words, no one inside had expected.

Ji Lingxiao stared at Lu Yuan, somewhat dazed; after regaining his composure, Ji Lingxiao quickly said:

"Yes, yes, Liyan, it's not that once you join our Linglan Sword Sect you must sever all previous ties; that's not what we mean. Whenever you miss home, you can come back."

Furthermore, although the Linglan Sword Sect is not close to the Zhou Dynasty, if you return, we can travel through spatial wormholes, and it's only a few days' journey.

After hearing Ji Lingxiao finish speaking, Lu Yuan smiled and looked at the completely dazed eldest daughter-in-law, saying:

"Daughter-in-law, listen, it's fine; go with her. Anyway, our shop and such can be managed by Yulan Meizi."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Su Liyan, who had regained her composure, her eyes reddened, and then she burst out crying, saying:

"Brother, do you no longer want me?"

Thanks to reader 20221009 older brother for the reward of 1500 book coins, thank you very much~

……

Wuwuwu, I couldn't hold back; at half past nine in the evening I still ate a plate of dumplings, wuwuwu, I am guilty.
