Chapter 568
After observing carefully for a moment, Song Yuanfang found an opportunity and immediately stepped forward to intercept the two who were fighting. He then smiled and bowed to the young girl in purple.
"This fellow Daoist, I am Song Yuanfang, the Elder of General Affairs for the Song family. My juniors were ignorant just now and offended you with their words. Please be magnanimous. After we return to the mountain, we will certainly discipline them. Please do not hold it against them anymore."
Seeing the courteous Song Yuanfang, the young girl in purple glared at Song Changze, then took the initiative to put away her magic treasure and bowed back to Song Yuanfang.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist Song. This young woman thought that your Song family were all people who didn't know right from wrong and were unreasonable like them. Finally, someone who can reason has arrived!"
"What did you say...!"
"Changze, do not be rude! Step back!"
Hearing the young girl in purple's sarcastic remark, the flying sword in the angry Song Changze's hand had just begun to spark with flames when it was timely intercepted by Song Yuanfang at his side!
Since taking charge of the family's general affairs, Song Yuanfang was now considered the person with the highest personal prestige in the clan, aside from the generation of Song Qingming. Facing his reprimand, although Song Changze was unwilling, he quickly regained his reason, took the initiative to put away his magic treasure, and stepped aside.
Seeing Song Changze's frustrated expression, the young girl in purple could not help but reveal a triumphant smile.
After pacifying Song Changze, Song Yuanfang turned back to the young girl in purple and asked, "You must have come to my Song family for a reason. May I ask how to address you, fellow Daoist?"
Facing Song Yuanfang's polite question, the young girl in purple put away her smile and replied calmly, "I am Liu Yuxin. I came here to find Senior Song Qingming. I must trouble fellow Daoist Song to lead the way for me."
"What? You haven't decided the winner yet, and you still want to continue trying!" Sensing the trace of anger in Song Changze's eyes, Liu Yuxin smiled at him unpleasantly.
"Oh! Fellow Daoist Liu, you have come at an inconvenient time. The Chen Chen Laozu is currently in seclusion. If there is anything, could you tell me first?"
Thinking of this, Song Yuanfang indeed did not dare to neglect the other party.
Looking at the small porcelain bottle in his hand, Song Yuanfang pondered for a moment, smiled and bowed to the other party, turned to Song Changze to give him a few instructions, and then returned directly to the mountain.
"Then, can we do this? I will wait here. You help me take this and give it to Senior Qingyu. If she sees it, she should come out to see me. If that still doesn't work, then I can only come back next time." After the young girl in purple looked slightly surprised, she took a cyan porcelain bottle from her person and tossed it to Song Yuanfang.
Ever since Song Qingming passed the "Hidden Origin Technique," a secret technique to assist in Core Formation, to Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, they had both successively gone into seclusion after returning to Mount Funiu to begin practicing this secret technique.
The "Hidden Origin Technique" was not something that could be mastered overnight. According to Song Qingming's past experience, it normally took about ten years to reach great success, and it had a certain auxiliary effect on Core Formation.
On the summit of Mount Funiu, inside Song Qingyu's cave dwelling.
Facing Liu Yuxin's provocation, Song Changze remained unmoved this time. He took the initiative to withdraw his gaze and turned to look elsewhere, ignoring her.
Seeing that the other party did not take the bait, Liu Yuxin felt it was meaningless. She turned and found a clean spot by herself, sat down cross-legged.
"Uh! Chen Chen Laozu Qingyu is also in seclusion. If there is nothing very important, it is not good for us to disturb her. If it is truly inconvenient, why don't you come back in a few days, fellow Daoist?"
Both of their family's Old Ancestors had traveled extensively in their younger years; it was extremely normal for them to know one or two people with profound cultivation. Since this woman said she was entrusted by her master, her master was very likely a Jin Dan senior.
Although he could not guess the specific background of the young girl in purple, judging by her extraordinary skills and her confident demand to see Song Qingming and Song Qingyu by name, the young girl in purple's background was likely not simple.
Song Yuanfang had just left, and Song Changze, who remained on the spot, immediately turned his eyes back to Liu Yuxin.
Hearing Song Yuanfang's reply, the young girl in purple hesitated for a moment and then said, "My master gave instructions that this matter cannot be told to others casually. I hope fellow Daoist Yuanfang will understand. If Senior Song Qingming is not free, then it is also fine if you take me to find Senior Qingyu."
Because when practicing the "Hidden Origin Technique," most of the spiritual energy absorbed by the cultivator would be automatically stored in various parts of the body, which would also greatly affect the progress of the cultivator's normal cultivation and absorption of spiritual energy.
If an ordinary cultivator started practicing the "Hidden Origin Technique" from the moment they reached Foundation Establishment, their speed in reaching the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment would inevitably be much slower than others.
The reason Song Qingming was able to practice this secret technique from the beginning was actually because he relied on the remnant map he possessed, which allowed him to absorb spiritual energy several times faster than ordinary people, thus offsetting the disadvantage of the "Hidden Origin Technique." Otherwise, the time of his Core Formation would certainly have been later than it was.
People like Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, who had already reached the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, did not need to absorb spiritual energy to improve their cultivation, so they had no such concerns when practicing the "Hidden Origin Technique." As long as they spent about ten years practicing diligently, they could basically successfully master this secret technique.
Song Qingyu, who was concentrating on her seclusion in the cave dwelling on the summit, suddenly felt a wave of spiritual power from outside. Just as she opened her eyes, she saw a cyan spiritual talisman fly into the cave and arrive before her.
In order to master the "Hidden Origin Technique" as soon as possible and strike for the Jin Dan realm, Song Qingyu had specifically instructed Song Yuanfang and the others before her seclusion not to come to the summit to disturb her unless there was something particularly important.
Seeing the sound-transmission talisman before her, Song Qingyu revealed a hint of doubt. She had only been in seclusion for less than a month; could it be that something major had happened on the mountain again?
After taking the sound-transmission talisman and opening it to take a look, the doubt on Song Qingyu's face deepened. She then waved her hand to open the formation restriction at the entrance of her cave dwelling.
Before long, Song Yuanfang, looking somewhat preoccupied, walked in from outside.
"Yuanfang, you just said someone is in a hurry to see me. Who exactly has come?"
After seeing Song Qingyu sitting in the cave, Song Yuanfang first stepped forward and bowed, then slowly said, "Grand Aunt, a Foundation Establishment cultivator came down the mountain just now. She is a woman who looks very young. She is the one who said she has an urgent matter to see you."
"A young woman, a Foundation Establishment cultivator? What is her background? Did she say what she wants to find me for?" Song Qingyu pondered for a moment and then continued to ask.
Song Yuanfang shook his head slightly and said, "That person looks like a stranger. She doesn't seem to be a cultivator from near our Qinghe County, and we cannot recognize her background.
Oh! She said her name is Liu Yuxin, and she asked me to give this to you, saying that you would understand after seeing this object."
"What did you say? Her name is Liu Yuxin?"
Upon hearing the young girl in purple's name, Song Qingyu, who had been somewhat doubtful, instantly changed her expression. She stood up on her own, and then her gaze quickly gathered on the cyan porcelain bottle held in Song Yuanfang's hand.
After stepping forward to take the small porcelain bottle and looking at it carefully for a few moments, Song Qingyu stood blankly on the spot as if lost in memory. After a long while, a look of joy slowly appeared on her face, and she directly instructed Song Yuanfang at her side:
"Yuanfang, this person is a disciple of an old friend of mine. Please trouble yourself to go personally and bring her directly to me! This girl was spoiled by her master in the past, and her temper might be a bit big. You must not hold it against her."
Confirming that the young girl in purple was indeed a disciple of Song Qingyu's old friend, Song Yuanfang also breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that he hadn't caused too deep a misunderstanding with the other party down the mountain just now; otherwise, if Liu Yuxin had been injured at their hands, it would have been difficult to resolve.
"Grand Aunt, rest assured. I know what to do. However, just now down the mountain, because we didn't know her identity, Changze had a small misunderstanding with her. Later, I ask Grand Aunt to help explain it to her."
Hearing Song Yuanfang's words, Song Qingyu was not surprised. She smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "No matter. I will explain it to her in a moment."
An incense stick of time later, seeing Song Yuanfang smiling apologetically and carefully inviting Liu Yuxin into Mount Funiu, Song Changze at the side also revealed a hint of surprise.
Knowing that Liu Yuxin's relationship with the Chen Chen Laozu on the summit was likely extraordinary, Song Changze felt some regret in his heart. However, hindered by his pride, he was truly too embarrassed to step forward and apologize to the other party. He could only glare at the culprits, Song Yuanping and the others, with displeasure.
"I have said little about some things recently, and perhaps you have already forgotten. It seems necessary to tell you a few more times. Notify all cultivators of the Law Enforcement Team on the mountain to gather in the family council hall in half an hour!"
Seeing the trace of ruthlessness in Song Changze's eyes, even Song Yuanping, who was his elder, could not help but feel a chill in his heart and became somewhat afraid.
Since successfully reaching Foundation Establishment and taking charge of the family's Law Enforcement Team, Song Changze had slowly become much more somber. Although he was still amiable to his elders on the surface, once he set his sights on someone, he would not show mercy to anyone.
In recent years, the family Law Enforcement Team would occasionally catch clansmen who did not follow the rules or made mistakes. Whether they were elders or juniors, Song Changze, this family Law Enforcement Elder, almost always showed an impartial face. Sometimes, even if Song Yuanfang came forward to plead, it might not be effective.
