Chapter 665: Chapter 364: Secret Skill Treasure Chest!
At this moment, the entire Celestial Sound Mansion was on high alert.
Especially around the courtyard where Chu Qing resided, it was heavily guarded by the disciples of the Celestial Sound Mansion, impenetrable.
Even the slightest disturbance would be taken seriously.
Liu Zhaonian looked at the room with a heavy heart, wanting to inquire but not knowing how to start.
As he saw the glow in the room disappear, he immediately stood still, staring at the doorway, waiting for changes to occur inside.
Naturally, Liu Zhaohua was even more anxious than he was. It wasn’t until they heard footsteps from inside the room, followed by the creaking of the door opening from the inside, that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Gentle, with a relaxed expression, let out a yawn, glanced at Chu Qing, then sniffed the air:
"It’s different again..."
She was already used to it.
The scent on Chu Qing indeed changed. After each closed-door practice session, his scent would vary.
Upon careful sniffing, one could detect some lingering traces, but overall, it was entirely different.
"How is it?"
Wu Qianhuan looked Chu Qing up and down.
"Slight progress."
Chu Qing smiled faintly.
Indeed, there was slight progress... after all, the improvement in Inner Power wasn’t substantial.
However, the Divine Illumination Skill provided him with the greatest help by assisting him in achieving the "Zhaoyu Shence" and paving the way forward.
This time, Chu Qing deduced the cultivation realm of the Ninth Realm of "Zhaoyu Shence" according to his own wishes.
With his cultivation at the Thirteenth Layer of the "Nine Chapters of Divine Jade," in terms of the "Zhaoyu Shence," he barely reached the Sixth Layer.
Chu Qing speculated that when the "Zhaoyu Shence" was fully cultivated to the Ninth Realm,
his Martial Arts would surely reach an extraordinary realm.
However, saying it is easy; doing it is difficult.
"Zhaoyu Shence" is far more challenging to cultivate than the "Nine Chapters of Divine Jade." The difficulty of the last three stages is such that even decades of arduous practice may not achieve even one layer if one proceeds step by step.
"Fortunately, I’m a hanger-on..."
Chu Qing comforted himself inwardly, showing a slight, relaxed smile on his face.
Wu Qianhuan was somewhat skeptical about his so-called ’slight progress.’ With such a grand formation, it was just ’slight progress’?
However, naturally, it wasn’t the time to press for an answer, so whatever Chu Qing said goes.
Liu Zhaonian and Liu Zhaohua then stepped forward, and after seeing that Chu Qing was fine, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Qing apologized, for his matters had troubled the Celestial Sound Mansion greatly.
Liu Zhaonian laughed heartily, not taking it seriously:
"As long as you’re okay, saying these things is like being estranged from your uncle."
At this point, he looked at Chu Tian:
"Speaking of which, Tian, having reached the Celestial Sound Mansion, you didn’t even come to see your uncle. Twenty years have passed, and seeing you like this, your uncle almost didn’t recognize you."
"It was my mistake."
Chu Tian bowed in apology.
"Forget it."
Liu Zhaohua shot a glance at Liu Zhaonian:
"You know how busy you were yesterday.
"How could you have the time to let Tian disturb you? Moreover, as an uncle, if you can’t recognize your own nephew, can you blame the child?"
"Yes, yes, yes, my mistake."
Liu Zhaonian laughed again.
Chu Qing glanced at him and then said softly:
"Uncle... I want my mother and brother to leave Lingbei as soon as possible."
With Gongsun Zongheng already captured, there were no more obstacles to prevent Liu Zhaohua from returning to Celestial Dance City and explaining the past to Chu Yunfei.
Chu Tian’s wife, Qin Yuqi, was pregnant and expecting, so naturally, Chu Tian could no longer stay in Lingbei and take risks.
Now, Mirror of Sin was no longer a threat to Chu Qing. There was no need for Chu Tian to continue taking risks.
Liu Zhaonian had no objections. Although he was reluctant to let his sister leave, he had witnessed Liu Zhaohua’s daily and nightly longing for the past twenty years and hoped for the family reunion.
Moreover, Lingbei was no longer a safe place.
Indeed, there was no need for them to remain.
He immediately nodded:
"Alright."
Liu Zhaohua, however, looked at Chu Qing:
"Are you hiding something by urging me to leave so hastily?"
Chu Qing shook his head:
"Why would I hide anything from you?"
"What about you?"
Liu Zhaohua asked:
"When are you leaving?"
"I still have some matters in Lingbei to handle."
Chu Qing said softly:
"The Celestial Buddha Temple hasn’t been found, Mirror of Sin isn’t resolved, and the Celestial Evil Cult...
"Under such circumstances, I cannot leave temporarily.
"But don’t worry, mother, handling these matters won’t be difficult for me."
Liu Zhaohua pondered for a moment, recalling Chu Qing’s performance in front of Celestial Melody City, and eventually let out a sigh:
"Alright, I’ll wait for you in Celestial Dance City."
"By the time I return, you’ll probably be a grandmother."
Chu Qing said with a smile.
"Hmm?"
Liu Zhaohua instinctively looked at Wu Qianhuan and then seriously said to Chu Qing:
"Don’t mess around."
Wu Qianhuan flushed red and quickly said:
"Not me... it’s the sister-in-law."
Chu Tian said a bit awkwardly:
"Mother... it’s my wife, Qin Yuqi.
"When I left home, she was pregnant, and by counting the days, it’s been several months."
Liu Zhaohua was taken aback:
"And you still left home?"
"Back then, I didn’t know... I just thought I had to help Qing’er do something, not letting him wander the Martial World alone without support...
"That’s why I faked my death and left.
"Who would have thought, on the day the news of my death reached Celestial Dance City, the doctor confirmed Yuqi’s pregnancy."
