Chapter 1222: Envious Indeed

"Sen... Ancestral Master?"

At this moment, Li Xuanqi's heart was shaken even more, finding it hard to believe.

He actually still had an Ancestral Master alive in the world. Although this Ancestral Master claimed to have sealed himself many years ago, which was enough to explain why he only had Half-Immortal Stage cultivation, in Li Xuanqi's view, this explanation was always a bit strange, feeling that it was explained very hastily!

However, when he joined the Heavenly Palace Academy back then, he was only a mere outer sect disciple. Later, because he did something wrong, he was expelled from the sect.

Regarding the Heavenly Palace Academy, he didn't know much, but he had deep feelings for the sect.

After leaving the sect back then, his master still guided his cultivation, gave him many techniques and Spirit Immortal Stones, and his fellow disciples would also come to find him for gatherings from time to time, and sometimes they wouldn't forget to bring him along when they went out for training together.

It was precisely because of this that after he rose to power later, he had such sentiments and named the power he founded the Heavenly Palace Academy, to commemorate the Heavenly Palace Academy.

Therefore, at this moment, Xu Que claimed to be Li Xuanqi's Ancestral Master generation, and Li Xuanqi was both surprised and happy. While feeling close, he was also somewhat suspicious.

After all, his understanding of the Heavenly Palace Academy was limited to his generation, and the history before that was little known and difficult to examine.

However, the two powerful souls from the ancestral tomb were enough to make him dispel countless doubts.

"Disciple Li Xuanqi, pays respects to the Ancestral Master!" After a few breaths, Li Xuanqi bowed to Xu Que.

This scene instantly made Er Gouzi, Duan Jiude, and the others outside the cave drop their jaws again.

Mo Junchen's mouth twitched slightly, and he gave a bitter smile in his heart.

Amazing, truly amazing. He hadn't thought wrong before; this Gang Leader Xu's methods were truly... shameless to the extreme, worthy of being called a masterpiece!

Who was Li Xuanqi?

This person was the ancestral founder of the Heavenly Palace Academy! He was actually bluffed too?

Although a large factor here depended on Guan Chuchu and Xuanyuan Qishang being present, being able to utilize these conditions in every word to bluff Li Xuanqi was not something an ordinary person could do!

And Li Xuanqi, at this moment, had no dissatisfaction or other emotions.

According to seniority, he indeed had to pay respects to Xu Que, but according to strength, he couldn't give Xu Que a kowtow. After all, Xu Que was only at the "Half-Immortal Stage." If following the rules of the cultivation world, Xu Que might have to call him Senior instead.

But out of respect for the Heavenly Palace Academy, Li Xuanqi still bowed without being restricted by small details, which was enough to express his loyalty to the Heavenly Palace Academy, even if the Heavenly Palace Academy had long ceased to exist!

This point made Xu Que respect Li Xuanqi a little.

His tone couldn't help but soften a lot, and he said: "No need to pay respects. Since the Heavenly Palace Academy is no longer here, let's treat each other as peers from now on, to avoid awkwardness for both of us!"

"Yes!" Li Xuanqi also breathed a sigh of relief and replied calmly.

"Tell me, how did the Heavenly Palace Academy disappear?" Xu Que looked at Li Xuanqi and asked.

Li Xuanqi gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "Ancestral Master... uh, Lü... Lü..."

"My surname is Xu!" Xu Que raised his eyelids slightly and said.

"Brother Xu, the matter of the Heavenly Palace Academy, actually I know very little. Back then, everything came too fast, even I couldn't react. I only knew that when I woke up overnight, all the disciples of the Heavenly Palace Academy were dead, and only those Tower Masters and Deans had lost their traces. But I can be certain that there was no outsider involved; it should be that some accident happened internally, which is why it was like this!" Li Xuanqi said, his face also becoming solemn.

"Why do you say that?" Xu Que was immediately curious.

An accident happened internally? What kind of accident could make all the disciples die, while the people at the top disappeared? Including Xuan Yuan Wanrong, why was she sealed and suppressed under the Buried Immortal Valley in the distant Four Continents?

"After the Heavenly Palace Academy had an incident, I went back once. There were no traces of fighting at the scene at all, and my master had the habit of refining pills on weekdays. At that time, his pill furnace was still burning, but the person was gone. It can be seen that he left in a hurry, and beside the pill furnace, I found a sentence he left behind—leaving like this, how can I bear it!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xu Que couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Leaving like this, how can I bear it?

The meaning of this sentence was quite thought-provoking!

"So I can conclude that the Heavenly Palace Academy was not persecuted by others, and all the Tower Masters and Deans withdrew. Something unexpected must have happened!" Li Xuanqi said very definitely.

Xu Que also nodded. No wonder back then, when he claimed that he had wiped out the Heavenly Palace Academy, the current Dean of the Heavenly Palace Academy could stand up and slap his face with confidence. It turned out that the Heavenly Palace Academy had long known that the Heavenly Palace Academy was not wiped out by outsiders back then!

"Brother Xu, there is one thing, I don't know if I should ask!" At this time, Li Xuanqi looked at Xu Que, somewhat hesitant.

Xu Que rolled his eyes. You already said you don't know if you should ask, so why ask? You clearly want to ask!

"Ask!"

"Actually, I have no other meaning, it's purely out of curiosity. I have stayed in the ancestral tomb for so many years and have never seen the ancestors of the Heavenly Palace Academy appear. Why did your parents suddenly wake up?" Li Xuanqi asked, truly puzzled about this point.

"Because of love... pfft, no, because of family affection! You might not know, I have had a deep relationship with my parents since I was a child, especially my mother. Every time she sees me, she likes to hold me up. Look, just like now!" Xu Que said with a straight face, incomparably calm.

Although this princess-carry posture was very shameful, what else could he do? He couldn't move, so he could only lie down and enjoy the love from his mother-in-law!

"So that's how it is, no wonder!" Li Xuanqi nodded in realization upon hearing this, and continued: "If I didn't see it wrong, your parents should have passed away many years ago, but they could never let go of you, leaving behind a wisp of obsession. As soon as you appeared, they sensed your aura and immediately awakened to protect you. It can be seen that they love you deeply, which is truly enviable and admirable!"

After speaking, Li Xuanqi really revealed a kind of envy, besides the envy for this kind of family affection, more of it was envy that Xu Que had such powerful parents.

Even if only a wisp of obsession-filled soul remained, it was still powerful enough to make him suffocate.

But after saying these words, Xu Que couldn't be happy at all, and even almost wanted to jump down and hit him!

Envious?

Envious my ass. If you have the ability, come and try the situation of being held and unable to move, see if you feel awkward or not!

If it weren't for the fact that my psychological quality as the King of Acting Cool is quite solid, I would have already died of shame and anger!

"Eh..."

Suddenly, Xu Que was startled, vaguely thinking of something, his eyes brightening slightly!
