Chapter 447
Time flies, and half a year has passed since the Song family held the Foundation Establishment ceremony.
Huang Siyuan, who had lived at Mount Funiu for half a year, had now slowly gotten used to the days here.
On this day, just as Huang Siyuan walked out of her cave dwelling, she did not expect to run into Song Qingyu, who was heading straight for her.
"Sister-in-law, have you been arguing with Seventh Brother again recently? You were always living there before, why did you move back now?"
Seeing Song Qingyu start to tease her as soon as she came up, Huang Siyuan said helplessly: "When did you see me arguing with him? I think your mouth will just talk nonsense.
Back then, in order to trick me back, you said he was looking for me everywhere when I left. As a result, I found out later that he didn't have the heart to look for me at all. I really don't know what happened to me in this life, why I can believe whatever you say!"
"Hehe! Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Didn't I do it for your and Seventh Brother's good back then? Why did you both come to bury me after you two achieved positive results? I really worked in vain."
Huang Siyuan smiled coquettishly: "Alright! I won't fight with you. He has been in closed-door cultivation in the cave dwelling for more than ten days. If you are looking for him, go quickly!"
Song Qingyu shook her head and said: "Sister-in-law, I am not looking for Seventh Brother this time, I am actually looking for you!"
"Looking for me? What is it, say it quickly!"
Seeing Huang Siyuan somewhat anxious, Song Qingyu immediately took out a letter from her body and handed it to her.
"A letter sent by the Huang family, saying that one of your relatives has passed away, and asking you to go back to Mount Taiyuan."
Huang Siyuan opened the letter with a plain expression, looked at it, and then nodded gently.
Ever since Huang Siyuan established her foundation and returned to Qinghe Market a few years ago, the Huang family soon learned of this news. This was not the first time the Huang family had sent a letter to Huang Siyuan in these years, asking her to return to Mount Taiyuan to see.
It is just that Huang Siyuan had been living in Qinghe Market for these years. Facing the Huang family's repeated intentional approaches, Huang Siyuan had always been very cold.
After being forced by the family to marry into the Song family back then, Huang Siyuan had never received Song Qingming's favor, and the relationship between the two had never even been made public. Most people in Qinghe County were not very clear about it.
Under such circumstances, Huang Siyuan, who carried the family mission, had always lived in Qinghe Market, and she had almost never been to Mount Funiu a few times, so she naturally could not provide too much useful information about the Song family for the Huang family. For the Huang family, Huang Siyuan slowly became an dispensable person.
As a tool for family marriage, in the eyes of those high-ranking elders of the Huang family, Huang Siyuan's Dao path and fate were naturally not something they would care about. This was also a thorn that had been stuck in Huang Siyuan's heart for these years.
Later, Huang Siyuan left Qinghe Market to look for Foundation Establishment opportunities. Except for her father Huang Xianchen and an aunt who had a good relationship with her who came to the Song family to ask a few times, no one in the Huang family cared about her life or death.
However, what everyone in the Huang family did not expect was that after Huang Siyuan disappeared for decades, she had already successfully established her foundation when she returned to Qinghe County. Moreover, Huang Siyuan's successful Foundation Establishment did not rely on the help of the Huang family and the Song family, but was entirely her own efforts and opportunities.
After learning the news of Huang Siyuan's successful Foundation Establishment, the entire Huang family was full of regret, especially Huang Shengyue, who had personally decided to marry Huang Siyuan into the Song family back then. If she had known earlier that Huang Siyuan, whom she had used as a bargaining chip to send out, could successfully establish her foundation, Huang Shengyue would never have done such a stupid thing no matter what.
In order to restore the relationship between the Huang family and Huang Siyuan, this Huang family ancestor not only wrote a few letters to Huang Siyuan but also visited Qinghe Market in person to have a good chat with Huang Siyuan, but it still did not change Huang Siyuan's relatively cold attitude toward the Huang family.
Besides being forced by the family to marry, another reason why Huang Siyuan would be cold to the Huang family later was because of her father, Huang Xianchen.
Ever since Huang Siyuan's mother disappeared inexplicably back then, Huang Siyuan and her father Huang Xianchen's status in the Huang family also dropped a lot, becoming relatively marginal cultivators in the family.
Even if Huang Siyuan later sacrificed herself for the family, Huang Xianchen's status in the Huang family was still not high, and his life was also very ordinary.
When Huang Siyuan left Qinghe Market back then, she also held the determination to burn her bridges and did not tell anyone where she was going. Huang Xianchen also did not know where she went.
Later, Huang Xianchen also came to the Song family to ask a few times. Although Song Qingming came forward to receive him, he did not have Huang Siyuan's news at that time and could only tell the truth and send him back.
Because of Huang Siyuan's unexplained departure from Qinghe Market, although Song Qingming and the Song family did not pursue this matter deeply, the inside of the Huang family still felt that they had lost face.
Therefore, they punished Huang Xianchen and sent him to guard a relatively dangerous mineral vein of the family. As a result, within a few years, the somewhat unlucky Huang Xianchen died in the hands of demon beasts because he was unlucky enough to run into a group of demon beasts besieging that mineral vein.
Song Qingming did not know about Huang Xianchen's matter at first, and only knew about it after a long time. Song Qingming had actually never been very familiar with this father-in-law of his.
Although this was a matter within the Huang family and Song Qingming could not say much, after hearing about this later, Song Qingming still went to Mount Taiyuan in person to mourn, which could be considered as fulfilling filial piety for Huang Siyuan.
After Huang Siyuan returned to Qinghe County and learned about her father Huang Xianchen, she was also very angry in her heart. Except for when she first returned and went to Huang Xianchen's grave to pay her respects to her father, she had never returned to Mount Taiyuan in these years.
Holding the letter in her hand, after hesitating for a moment, Huang Siyuan turned and came outside Song Qingming's cave dwelling not far away, and sent a sound transmission talisman inside.
Before long, as the formation restriction at the entrance of the cave dwelling slowly dissipated, Huang Siyuan walked in quickly.
Seeing Huang Siyuan's complexion somewhat ugly, Song Qingming, who had just finished his cultivation, hurried forward and asked with concern: "Siyuan! What happened?"
"Just received a letter from Mount Taiyuan, Aunt Yuan passed away yesterday. I want to go back and send her off." After Huang Siyuan finished speaking, she handed the letter in her hand to Song Qingming.
Having known Huang Siyuan for so many years, Song Qingming naturally heard Huang Siyuan mention this aunt of hers and knew that this Aunt Yuan was one of the few elders in the Huang family who cared about Huang Siyuan.
"After you left Qinghe Market back then, she also came to Mount Funiu to ask about your news. It can be seen that she is an elder who truly cares about you. Now that the old lady has left, it is appropriate for you to go and send her off."
"Then I will go and reply to Mount Taiyuan first, and go back in two days." Huang Siyuan nodded, turned and walked toward the outside of the cave dwelling.
"Wait a minute! Siyuan."
Looking at Huang Siyuan, who turned around with confusion, Song Qingming stepped forward, took her jade hand, and said softly: "You have been married to me for so many years, and I haven't accompanied you back once. I will go back with you in two days!"
"Hmm!" Looking at Song Qingming's concerned eyes, Huang Siyuan nodded calmly and responded, then turned and walked out slowly.
Two days later, outside Mount Taiyuan.
Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan had just arrived at the foot of Mount Taiyuan. Before the sound transmission talisman in Huang Siyuan's hand was released, a white sword light suddenly flew down from the mountain and fell beside the two before long.
"Mengde pays respects to Clan Leader Song, Aunt Grandancestor!"
Song Qingming took a look at the person and found that this person was Huang Mengde, a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Huang family who had just successfully established his foundation ten years ago.
This Huang Mengde, like Song Yuanli, was also a dual-spirit root cultivator. Now his cultivation base had reached the third level of Foundation Establishment, and his personal Dao path prospects were far better than his elder Huang Sipo.
After Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan greeted Huang Mengde, the three of them soon walked up Mount Taiyuan together.
I don't know if it was because they knew that Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were coming, but the funeral held by the Huang family for Huang Xianyuan this time was very grand, far exceeding the treatment that an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator should have.
Seeing the white flags inserted all the way and the noisy gongs and drums coming from the mountain, Song Qingming was also somewhat surprised. When the Song family held a funeral for the Great Elder Song Qingshi a year ago, they were already very willing to spend spirit stones. Unexpectedly, the Huang family held it even more grandly than them this time.
Just arrived at the reception hall on the top of the mountain, Huang Shengyue, who had been waiting here, saw Huang Siyuan and hurried to greet her with a smile.
"Siyuan, Clan Leader Song, you have worked hard all the way. Come to the back hall to drink tea and rest for a while first."
After letting Huang Mengde take Song Qingming to drink tea on the side, Huang Shengyue found an excuse to pull Huang Siyuan to a compartment on the side and asked about her well-being.
However, facing this elder Huang Shengyue, who was intentionally lowering her face to please, Huang Siyuan was still very indifferent, always keeping a distance from her, and her expression had not changed much.
Besides Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, those who came to participate in this funeral this time also included many Qi Refining families under the Huang family, as well as some rogue cultivators who were on good terms. After being lively for a whole day, Mount Taiyuan slowly returned to calm.
Because of Huang Shengyue's constant retention, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan did not leave immediately after participating in the funeral, but chose to stay at Mount Taiyuan for one night.
Early the next morning, Huang Siyuan took Song Qingming to Huang Xianchen's grave in the back mountain to pay her respects to her father.
Compared with more than ten years ago when Song Qingming came for the first time, Huang Xianchen's grave was now obviously much better and more gorgeous. It is thought that because of Huang Siyuan, the Huang family had specially rebuilt Huang Xianchen's grave in these years.
"When I first came back, my father's tombstone was almost blurred and invisible. Now they are more filial than me, a daughter." Huang Siyuan slowly put down the sacrificial items she brought in front of her father's tombstone.
Hearing Huang Siyuan's words, Song Qingming smiled lightly and didn't say anything more, and took the initiative to help her pour a few cups of spirit wine and put them in front of Huang Xianchen's tombstone.
Happy Lantern Festival to everyone.
