Chapter 906: Chapter 336: Foreign Realm, Ancient Relics, Saving Lives (Ten-Thousand-Word Combined Chapter)
Seeing this, Haiyun suddenly felt a sourness in her nose. Hee Qingru saw this and quickly had the nurse take the child away:
"Good sister-in-law, why are you crying? Tell me if there’s anything."
She sobbed a few times.
Haiyun choked a bit and said:
"Sister-in-law, when I woke up, I found myself in Azure Cloud Mountain, being chased by a Tier Two Red Ridge Demon. My mana was exhausted, and fortunately, Master Fu passed by and saved my life. Otherwise, I would have already ended up in the belly of the Red Ridge Demon. But..... although I escaped with my life, I remember.... nothing at all, I..... ugh..."
As she spoke, Haiyun began to retch.
Hee Qingru saw this, her eyes lit up:
"Sister-in-law, are you pregnant?"
....
On another side.
Fu Changsheng and Liuu Meizhen traveled nonstop from Jingzhou. The Cyan Flood Dragon was almost at full speed, crossing the border and traveling eastward for nearly half a month. Seeing that they were not far from the Shangguan Family’s territory, Fu Changsheng turned to Meizhen and said:
"My dear, I’m going to visit the Shangguan Family. You return to the territory first."
"Alright."
Liuu Meizhen nodded.
After she left, Fu Changsheng waited in place for a little half a day. A rainbow light swiftly approached from the sky, and as the light faded, it was Yaoyao.
After crossing the state border,
Yaoyao secretly sent a message. The barrier at Broken Bone Cliff had been almost fully researched, and Fu Changlei and Yu Qingru were busy forming an array. Seeing that Yaoyao was free, Fu Changsheng immediately sent a message for her to meet here, aiming to see if he could treat Shangguan Feng.
Yaoyao didn’t see Liuu Meizhen and said:
"Father, where’s Mother?"
The mother and daughter had not seen each other for years, so Yaoyao naturally missed her mother.
Fu Changsheng said:
"Your mother had something to do and returned to the territory first. Come on, let’s go to the Shangguan Family first."
In this wilderness.
The father and daughter tacitly did not mention the matter of the Broken Bone Cliff cave mansion. Upon arriving at the Shangguan Family’s mountain gate, Fu Changsheng saw from afar that the one guarding the archway was an acquaintance.
It was Shangguan Hui.
Fu Changsheng was taken aback.
Shangguan Hui, over seventy years ago, was unfortunately severely injured in a battle with the Celestial Dragon Tribe. After years of seclusion, his cultivation fell to the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment. In the last Eastern Wilderness Tribe battle, he was injured again, and his cultivation dropped directly to the Qi Refining Stage. At his age, he should have been enjoying his old age.
Yet, unexpectedly.
He was still arranged to guard the mountain gate.
Between Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Hui, there wasn’t any deep-seated hatred, so Fu Changsheng was somewhat rueful as he descended.
Shangguan Hui saw him.
Hurriedly stepped forward, cupping his hands and said:
"I didn’t know Fu Clan Leader would grace us with his presence, forgive the lack of a proper welcome."
Shangguan Hui’s eyes were lowered, not daring to even glance at the other party, fearing that Fu Changsheng would recall past events and bear a grudge against him.
Nowadays.
Their statuses were worlds apart.
Fu Changsheng was a high-ranking Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion, while he was only an elderly junior Qi cultivator:
"I don’t know which esteemed guest Fu Clan Leader is here to visit?"
"I am here to visit Uncle Feng."
Fu Changsheng was somewhat unaccustomed to Shangguan Hui’s cautious behavior.
Shangguan Hui quickly said:
"Fu Clan Leader, please, let me personally lead you."
Last time he came to visit.
Shangguan Feng had been moved to Shangguan Chen’s cave mansion.
But looking at the direction Shangguan Hui was heading, it was toward Uncle Feng’s previous residence. Seeing Fu Changsheng’s puzzled look, Shangguan Hui hurriedly explained:
"After the last Eastern Wilderness Tribe battle, the Patriarch, although not in the territory, specifically sent a message back asking us to relocate Elder Feng back to where he originally lived, and arranged for professionals to provide him continuous treatment."
Fu Changsheng found it amusing at this.
It seemed Shangguan Li was indeed grateful for his help last time and immediately improved Uncle Feng’s treatment.
In front of Uncle Feng’s courtyard.
After Shangguan Hui sent a message, the cave mansion opened, and Shangguan Chen came out. Shangguan Chen, in the last Eastern Wilderness Tribe battle, also suffered a loss of primordial qi, dropping almost to the Qi Refining Stage, making it impossible for him to engage in Dharma Combat again, so he resigned and returned to the tribe to retire.
Seeing Fu Changsheng arrive.
He was quite happy:
"I wasn’t aware of Fu Clan Leader’s arrival, forgive the lack of a proper welcome, please come in."
Fu Changsheng entered the room.
Yaoyao, who followed behind him, casually rewarded a box to Shangguan Hui, clearly feeling pity for the old man, unaware that this very old man was once the Grand Elder of the Shangguan Family.
Receiving the reward.
Shangguan Hui was momentarily stunned, but instead of getting angry, he was genuinely pleased and said:
"Thank you, Miss Fu, for the reward."
His smile was truly sincere.
After the cave mansion array closed, Fu Changsheng pointed outside and said to Shangguan Chen: "Master Chenn, how did Shangguan Hui end up in such a state?"
Shangguan Chen sighed.
And said mournfully:
"Elder Hui had a daughter in his late years. Although she had a spiritual root, she was bedridden for years, needing a lot of Spirit Stones each year to buy Spirit Medicine to sustain her life. No matter how the illness was treated, it didn’t improve and drained Elder Hui’s family wealth. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to the battlefield knowing he was injured."
"Who would have thought, in the Eastern Wilderness Tribe battle, luck was as bad as mine. He got hurt again, fell to the Qi Refining Stage, and with his advanced age, couldn’t engage in Dharma Combat. His daughter constantly needed decoctions, so..... alas, it’s all fate!"
Though Shangguan Chen mourned.
He felt his fate was slightly better than Shangguan Hui’s.
After all.
He had no children to burden him. Although his path in Taoism had halted, with many years of savings, he could live comfortably in his later years, unlike Shangguan Hui, who had to swallow his pride to live on others.
