177: Chapter 177 Going Home

"Master, when will Senior Brother return? It's so boring!"

On Sword Immortal Peak, beside the Immortal Spring, Qingluan rested her chin on her hand, gazing blankly at Master Shen Xi, who was bathing, with her crescent-moon eyes.

Her dreamlike, breathtakingly beautiful face, exposed above the surface of the immortal pool, added an exotic charm to the scene.

"Alright, Little Moon. Your Senior Brother went out for training. It hasn't even been seven days, and you're already so anxious to see your Pretty Boy Senior Brother?"

As the water continued to flow in the immortal pool, Master Shen Xi couldn't help but tease, "You don't even practice your sword skills. You, oh you."

"What's the point of practicing? I can't cultivate anyway. Master, you keep saying I have a Supreme Sword Immortal Body, but I've been practicing sword dao on Cangjian Peak for seven years, and my cultivation is still no different from a mortal's."

For once, Qingluan complained to Master Shen Xi, her words hinting at her grievances against Lin Qingzhu. That vixen had even subtly flaunted her cultivation last time.

Wasn't she implying that she, Lin Qingzhu, would snatch Ye Xuan away? After all, you, Qingluan, have no cultivation; how could you stay by Ye Xuan's side in the future?

"You, oh you. It will be soon. How could I, your Master, be mistaken about your Supreme Sword Immortal Body? Qingluan, you have reached a critical point. In a month at the earliest, or a year at the latest, you will definitely awaken your Supreme Sword Immortal Body."

Upon hearing this, Master Shen Xi's tone held no blame; she continued to gently comfort Qingluan, telling her not to worry.

"On the path of cultivation, although some people may walk ahead, it does not mean their future journey will be smooth sailing."

While giving this guidance, Master Shen Xi had just finished bathing. Without using any techniques, she simply wore a simple, elegant white dress and sat beside Qingluan, tapping her foolish disciple on the forehead with one finger. "And what you need to do is to continuously polish your sword dao. As long as your Supreme Sword Immortal Body awakens, it will be enough to stun everyone."

At this moment, a deafening request for an audience came from outside Sword Immortal Peak.

"May I ask if Saint Shen Xi is in?" Outside Sword Immortal Peak, Murong Yunhai mustered up his courage and shouted inside.

"Oh? I wonder what business Saint Murong has with me?" Master Shen Xi comforted Qingluan beside her, then her figure appeared before Murong Yunhai, looking at him indifferently.

"I have come today for the sake of my granddaughter. I hope Saint Shen Xi will not take offense."

Murong Yunhai bowed, though he felt somewhat afraid looking at Master Shen Xi, struggling to keep his legs from trembling.

He had watched this girl, Master Shen Xi, grow up, but her cultivation was higher than his own, and just a few days ago, she had even eradicated two Great Saint families.

"Oh? It concerns your granddaughter?" Master Shen Xi was a bit curious, and in the next second, she associated it with Ye Xuan.

It must be that Pretty Boy again, flirting around everywhere. He clearly said he would stay by her side in the future, yet he turned around and provoked Murong Yunhai's granddaughter.

At the thought of this, the aura around Master Shen Xi turned much colder.

She was now considering whether, once that Pretty Boy returned, she should just make him Little Xuan from now on.

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right. Since my granddaughter returned, she has taken a great liking to your disciple, Ye Xuan, Saint Shen Xi. I have come here with a thick face to ask if Saint Shen Xi would be willing to fulfill this beautiful union for these two young people?"

Murong Yunhai was quite straightforward; he didn't beat around the bush and told Master Shen Xi the truth directly.

But why did he feel that there seemed to be a trace of killing intent in Saint Shen Xi's aura?

"Saint Murong, my disciple does not need an arranged marriage. Please return. If I hear any more talk of such unions, be prepared to have a bout with me."

Master Shen Xi's tone was quite cold, and she had already issued an order to leave, her words implying that if he didn't leave, she would take action.

"This, this, this... But I see that the two of them are a perfect match. My granddaughter also possesses the Myriad Fire Saint Body; how could she not be worthy of Ye Xuan?"

This time, Murong Yunhai was so scared his legs went soft, but for the sake of his granddaughter Murong Liyue's happiness, he had risked his old face.

Besides, this matter was all the fault of that brat Ye Xuan, who had stolen his granddaughter's heart. It wasn't unreasonable for him to come and ask for a marriage proposal, right?

The next moment, what did Murong Yunhai see? Master Shen Xi had actually brought out the Emperor Weapon, the shen xi sword.

"Wait a moment, I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now!"

Murong Yunhai was terrified, turned around, and ran into the distance, not daring to mention the marriage again.

Who knew it was already too late? A terrifying killing intent locked onto him from afar.

Murong Yunhai could only flee; with his current strength, he was no match for Master Shen Xi.

"Sigh, Liyue, Grandfather has done his best; it can only depend on you now." Murong Yunhai could only swallow his bitterness, unable to speak of his suffering.

It was supposed to be a beautiful union; who knew it would turn out like this? Murong Yunhai had originally thought Master Shen Xi would gladly agree to the children's marriage.

Composing his emotions, Murong Yunhai hid on Liyue Immortal Peak, only then daring to breathe deeply, and sat down on the ground, disregarding his image.

Fortunately, Master Shen Xi hadn't been serious just now. If she had really been serious, he probably would have lost half his life.

"Grandfather, you're back? Did you go to the Leng family to cancel the marriage for Liyue just now?"

Murong Liyue had just left her boudoir when she saw Murong Yunhai downstairs and asked with an excited face.

As for Leng Qianming, ever since their last argument and his undisguised intentions, Murong Liyue had grown quite disgusted with him.

Therefore, she wanted to dissolve the marriage quickly; only in this way could she openly stay by Ye Xuan's side in the future.

"Sigh, Liyue, these old bones of your grandfather cannot withstand such torment. Do you know what Grandfather went to do just now? I went to propose marriage to Ye Xuan that brat's master, Master Shen Xi. Saint Shen Xi almost blew my skull off."

Murong Yunhai's face was dark, and he muttered a few words in his heart, but for his granddaughter's happiness, he planned to wait until Master Shen Xi's anger subsided before going to Sword Immortal Peak to talk to her again.

Perhaps Master Shen Xi just happened to be in a bad mood these past few days.

"Grandfather hasn't talked to Leng Lishang about this yet. Since that's the case, Grandfather will make a trip for you."

After thinking about it, Murong Yunhai had to first resolve the matter with Leng Qianming.

With a new saint like Master Shen Xi as a backer, it must be better than that old monster Leng Lishang, right?

...

"Young Master, we have arrived. Wake up!"

Wang Mengqi was a bit anxious, watching Ye Xuan still resting with his eyes closed, sweat dripping from his forehead, his Mystic Power nearly exhausted.

Throughout the journey, Wang Mengqi had been the one using spirit stones to control the dunkong shuttle, because Ye Xuan said he was tired and needed to rest.

"We're here? Finally back!"

Ye Xuan also came to his senses from his rest.

"Cangqiong Holy Land? Vast Firmament was indeed a genius, but unfortunately, limited by his physique, he could only reach the ninth level of the Emperor Xuan Realm in his entire life before dying with regrets."

Xian Linglong also searched the depths of her mind for this legendary great emperor of the lower realms: "If not for the 'Evil God Art', his lifelong achievement might only have been the King Profound Realm."
