Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Situ Yue
"The Dragon Vein is a place where natureâs spiritual energy and fortune converge. Our Divine Continentâs Dragon Vein is near the Capital City, with the head of the Dragon Vein located around Shanhai Pass. Once the Dragon Vein is activated, the spiritual energy of nature will become exceptionally dense for a short period, ideal for martial artist cultivation!"
"The closer you are to the Dragon Vein, the denser the spiritual energy becomes and the faster your cultivation speed. Moreover, our Divine Continent Dragon Vein has been dormant for hundreds of years, accumulating countless amounts of spiritual energy. Deep within the Dragon Vein, there will also be opportunities unimaginable to ordinary people. Even the martial artists from Kunlun will be envious of these opportunities!"
Chen Xiaoâs heart trembled slightly, "Do you want to enter the Dragon Vein?"
"Thatâs right." Xuan Daozi nodded, "Who wouldnât want such a significant opportunity? Even this old man desires it."
Chen Xiao nodded and chuckled, "Can you bring some good stuff back for me?"
"You think snatching food from a tigerâs mouth is that simple?" Xuan Daozi gave him a sideways glance, "Those guys from Kunlun arenât easy to deal with, but if that old acquaintance returns as promised, those guys will be nothing to fear."
"Old acquaintance?" Chen Xiao was puzzled.
"Donât ask, youâll know when the time comes." Xuan Daozi said nonchalantly.
"Come on, keeping me in suspense again!" Chen Xiao cursed, and suddenly, his eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "That old acquaintance youâre talking about, could it be related to my parents?"
Xuan Daozi smiled without speaking.
This made Chen Xiao inexplicably tense. Could it be that what Xuan Daozi was saying was true, that he might have a chance to see his parents this time when the Dragon Vein opens?
Xuan Daozi continued, "I know what youâre thinking, but your current task is to quickly settle the Hundred Countries Military Battle, then obtain the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart and resolve your constitution issues. The rest is not your concern yet."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao also nodded.
"Take me to meet those disciplesâ wives of mine. The old man hasnât met them yet. I heard from your senior sister that youâve been quite the romantic down the mountain, almost half as charming as I was back in the days." Xuan Daozi said nostalgically, showing an "olden days" expression.
Chen Xiao grinned, "You better behave yourself, donât leave a bad impression on them!"
"Rest assured, when this old man comes out, itâs definitely in the image of a master beyond the world!" Xuan Daozi bragged.
"Old rogue!" Chen Xiao teased but didnât say much more.
When they arrived at the villa, he led Xuan Daozi inside.
Upon seeing Xuan Daoziâs arrival, Lu Wushuang and Ye Hongyi were overjoyed.
Lu Wushuang said with a wistful face, "Master, weâve missed you ever since we went down the mountain. Itâs been so long since youâve come down to see us, have you forgotten about us little disciples?"
"Sigh, the Master is always thinking about the young widows below the mountain, whereâs the time to care about us?" Ye Hongyi sighed, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"You two little girls, if you really missed this old man, you would have come up the mountain to find me already. No need to act all master-disciple deep affection here?" Xuan Daozi huffed, glaring at them.
Ye Hongyi and Lu Wushuang both stuck out their tongues and smiled sheepishly.
They could count on one hand the times theyâve returned to the sect since going down the mountain, as itâs too dull up there.
Meanwhile, the other girls felt a bit nervous since this was, after all, Chen Xiaoâs master they were meeting for the first time, somewhat akin to meeting the parents.
However, Xuan Daozi maintained quite a stable performance, creating an aura of a master beyond the world for them, which relieved Chen Xiao. If Xuan Daozi truly let himself go, his disrespectful demeanor would likely scare the girls.
Finally, Xuan Daoziâs gaze swept over Luo Qingliâs face, chuckling, "Youâre that little girl from the Luo Family, right? Back then, the marriage arrangement with Chen Xiao was personally set by me. I didnât expect you two to have such fate and end up together."
Luo Qingli nodded with a blushing face.
Xuan Daozi wasnât wrong after all, for it seemed that there truly was some sort of destined connection between her and Chen Xiao.
Back then, after being drugged and losing her purity to Chen Xiao, she never expected that Chen Xiao was her fiancé, to whom she was promised since she was a child. And during the subsequent time they spent together, she had never expected to fall for Chen Xiao.
Fate is indeed remarkable.
Xuan Daozi turned to Chen Xiao and scolded, "These girls are very nice, this old man likes them very much. If you dare to let them down, donât return to the sect!"
"And you, hurry up and give me some disciplesâ grandchildren too..."
These words made Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing even shyer.
Chen Xiao kicked Xuan Daozi, "Old man, stop rushing us here for kids, we havenât even enjoyed enough of our time, having a child would ruin our coupleâs world, just thinking about it feels overwhelming."
Xuan Daozi chuckled, "Thatâs not certain. People change. When I first brought you four senior brothers and sisters, I also found kids annoying, but didnât I end up raising you lot all the same?"
"Eew, Master, that sounds so gross." Lu Wushuang stuck her tongue out, "Anyone who doesnât know might think we ate something to grow up."
Xuan Daozi hurriedly added, "All right, Iâve met your disciplesâ wives, and Iâve achieved my goal for this visit, itâs time to leave."
Ye Hongyi asked, "Master, where are you going after this?"
"Staying with an old flame of mine." Xuan Daozi said blandly, "Weâve already made plans."
"Master, you really are young at heart despite your age, having an old flame still in the Capital City?" Lu Wushuang was astonished.
"Who said itâs only one? Do you think your master is that unambitious?" Xuan Daozi glared.
Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing were stunned, feeling as if Xuan Daoziâs high expert filter had shattered completely.
"Alright, donât worry about me, you young folks play along, us old people have our own lifestyle."
After saying this, Xuan Daozi left in a carefree manner.
Zhang Yaqing blinked and asked, "Chen Xiao, did you pick up your philandering ways from your master?"
"Yes, heâs the one who led me astray, blame it on him." Chen Xiao did not hesitate to dump the matter on Xuan Daozi.
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Leng Baiyu drove to the villa.
Chen Xiao didnât laze around, waiting early at the door.
"Get in the car!" Leng Baiyu gave him a nod, "Iâll take you to meet the other four people."
ââ
Half an hour later, Chen Xiao traveled smoothly and entered the core area of Capital City, then passed through the Red Wall Guard, and smoothly entered the hub.
Finally.
He arrived at an ancient courtyard.
Inside the courtyard were already a dozen people, including Tang Hengdao, whom he had met twice before.
Tang Hengdao saw Chen Xiao and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Chen, weâve been waiting for you for a long time."
Chen Xiao respectfully greeted Tang Hengdao.
At this moment, three young men sat on the chairs, their eyes on Chen Xiao.
One of the young men took a sip of tea and said blandly, "Youâre Chen Xiao, the guy replacing Chief Instructor Leng?"
