165: Chapter 165 Cultivating Immortality, But for What?
"Little Xu, are you... are you interested in her?!"
"Hehe!"
Observing the strange expressions on Long Meili and Chairwoman Xiao Wanying's faces, Xu Que chuckled wickedly and waved his arm, causing the beautiful woman to vanish from the main hall.
"Let's go. We should hurry and catch up so we don't make Brother Chen worry!"
The Cloud-Winged Falcon reappeared. The three of them flew onto its back and quickly sped off in the direction Chen Xu had left.
Exactly the time it takes to brew a cup of tea later.
The Cloud-Winged Falcon caught up with Chen Xu, who was flying on his sword.
"Brother Xu, my mother, is she...?" Chen Xu asked with a worried expression.
"Brother Chen, I've placed another layer of restriction on your mother, but the restriction currently on her should have already been lifted!"
"Brother Xu, your cultivation level?"
"Brother Chen, to tell you the truth, my cultivation is actually at the half-step Body Integration Realm." As Xu Que spoke, the aura of the Body Integration Realm flashed by.
"Bro... Brother Xu, I... I'm just a small cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage. Why would you travel with me?"
Chen Xu's expression was first one of shock, then he looked at Xu Que with a mix of excitement and confusion.
"Haha, Brother Chen, I, Xu, have never judged friends by their cultivation level. As long as I click with someone, even if they are a mortal, I am willing to call them brother."
"Brother Xu is truly a man of character. Meeting you is the greatest honor of my life, Chen Xu!"
"Haha, Brother Chen, you are too modest."
"Brother Xu, you... you should just call me Little Xu! Can I call you Big Brother Xu?" Chen Xu finished and looked at Xu Que with anticipation.
Chairwoman Xiao Wanying and Long Meili looked at Chen Xu, feeling a sense of strangeness in their hearts.
If Chen Xu knew that his mother had been taken away by Xu Que, who knows if he would still say that!
Xu Que looked at Chen Xu, suddenly feeling a bit uncomfortable.
This Chen Xu, should one call him innocent or stupid!
With a personality like this, in the cruel Cultivation World, if he weren't the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the grass on his grave would have likely grown into towering trees by now!
"Little Xu, then from now on, you can call me Big Brother Xu!"
Hearing this, Chen Xu's face lit up with joy, and he said, "That's great, Big Brother Xu! Are we heading straight to the Endless Sea now?"
Xu Que rubbed his chin, feigning deep thought.
A moment later.
"Little Xu, I still need to make a trip to the Yellow Spring Sect. You keep going straight in this direction and wait for me at the edge of the Endless Sea. I will arrive within three days at most." Xu Que said, pointing due west.
"Going to the Yellow Spring Sect? Big Brother Xu, if you need help, just tell me."
"No need. Just go to the coast and wait for me."
"Alright then! Big Brother Xu, I'll head west and wait for you at the coast."
"Good!" Xu Que smiled and patted Chen Xu on the shoulder, "Go!"
"Then... Big Brother Xu, see you in three days!"
Chen Xu finished speaking, turned around, and flew off on his sword towards the west.
"Hubby, you are getting more and more wicked! If Chen Xu finds out that you took his mother... he would probably die of anger!"
Seeing Chen Xu leave, Chairwoman Xiao Wanying couldn't help but speak up.
"Yeah, Little Xu is getting more and more wicked now!"
Long Meili chimed in from the side. Suddenly, a certain image flashed through her mind, and her cheeks instantly turned burning hot!
"Haha, what do you mean I'm getting more wicked! I'm just following my heart, following my heart, get it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say is right!"
Xu Que looked at Long Meili and Chairwoman Xiao Wanying and shook his head helplessly: "It seems you two haven't grasped the true essence of cultivation at all!"
"The true essence of cultivation? Hubby, then tell us, what is the true essence of cultivation?"
"Yeah, Little Xu, our cultivation is low and we don't understand. Since you are so knowledgeable, tell us."
Chairwoman Xiao Wanying and Long Meili were suddenly interested and stared at Xu Que without blinking.
"Tell me, what is cultivation for?"
For what?
Long Meili and Chairwoman Xiao Wanying tilted their heads and began to ponder.
Cultivation, what is it for?
"It's for immortality and eternal youth!" Long Meili said.
"Hubby, we cultivate just so we can be with you forever." Chairwoman Xiao Wanying looked at Xu Que with gentle eyes and said softly.
Xu Que shook his head, then nodded: "What you said is only a part of it. Cultivation is going against the heavens; isn't it just so we can do as we please and roam the world freely?"
"Since I like it, and I have the ability, why should I hold back?"
"But... this is just too!"
"Too wicked?" Xu Que let out a loud laugh: "As far as I, Xu, am concerned, if it's good, it's not called wicked!"
Having said that, Xu Que waved his hand, the Cloud-Winged Falcon flapped its wings, and a gust of wind swept by.
In the blink of an eye.
The three of them and the beast disappeared from the spot.
...
Yellow Spring Sect.
Inside an exquisite courtyard full of classical charm, with mountains and water.
Under an equally exquisite pavilion, a woman dressed in a fiery red glazed dress sat quietly.
Her skin was like mutton-fat jade, delicate and warm, and her beauty was as if she had stepped out of a painting.
She cast her gaze to the opposite side.
There sat a petite woman in black, with a delicate and cute baby face, equally soul-stirringly beautiful.
The woman in red parted her vermilion lips slightly, her voice as crisp and pleasant as silver bells: "Mother, is there something wrong?"
The woman in black knitted her eyebrows; just a moment ago, she had suddenly felt a sense of unease.
In the past, she had relied on this sense of danger prediction to avoid countless dangers.
She trusted her intuition absolutely!
"Lingge, Mother just felt a sense of danger approaching. Let's go find your father now!"
The woman in black finished speaking and stood up, preparing to leave the courtyard.
"Mother, we are in the sect, how could there be danger? Who would dare to come to our Yellow Spring Sect to act recklessly?"
The woman in red, Ye Lingge, naturally knew of her mother's premonitions, but they were currently in the Yellow Spring Sect, and the Yellow Spring Sect was one of the top powers on the Yunhuang Continent. How could there be danger?
Who would dare come to the Yellow Spring Sect to cause trouble?
The woman in black shook her head gently: "Mother doesn't know either, but Mother trusts her intuition. Let's go find your father now. With your father here, even if there are enemies, we don't have to be afraid!"
"This... alright then!"
Although she didn't know where the danger was coming from, Ye Lingge also believed in her mother's intuition.
Immediately, the two turned into two streaks of light and flew towards the location of the Yellow Spring Sect Master, Ye Wushe.
...
On the other side.
Xu Que and the other two sat on the back of the Cloud-Winged Falcon, looking at the Yellow Spring Sect's base from afar.
"Hubby, since you want to break into the Yellow Spring Sect, then send us back to the Small World first!"
"Yeah, Little Xu, send us back first!"
Chairwoman Xiao Wanying and Long Meili said with worried expressions.
They naturally knew what Xu Que wanted to do at the Yellow Spring Sect.
However, what other choice did they have?
They could only let it be!
Xu Que looked at the two understanding women beside him with gentle eyes and nodded lightly!
After putting the two into the Small World, Xu Que looked again at the nine connected giant peaks in front of him, and his body instantly transformed into a pitch-black raven.
It was the Nether Raven, a common demonic beast near the Yellow Spring Sect. Its appearance was almost similar to a crow, but its size was ten times larger!
"Caw, caw~"
"Flap, flap~"
The Nether Raven let out two cries, flapped its wings, and flew towards the sky above the Yellow Spring Sect.
