After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 125 - Going Home

Chapter 125: Going Home

Jiang Huai was at a loss for words, now it was his turn to pinch Luo Qingyu’s pale little face.

“I know, I know.”

“Then that’s settled. Let’s hug for a while... and then go out to watch the clouds.”

Luo Qingyu snuggled into Jiang Huai’s arms, and he gently picked her up, coming to the deck.

Luo Yueguan was currently chatting quietly with Bai Li, handing her a protective artifact for self-defense.

Bai Li, who was always straightforward, knew that Luo Yueguan was doing this as a favor to Jiang Huai. She naturally accepted the artifact, silently grateful.

Jiang Huai held Luo Qingyu in his arms, sitting in a chair, the two of them leisurely watching the clouds on the horizon. Luo Qingyu’s waist was soft and pliable, now looking obedient again. Jiang Huai leaned in, stretched out his hand, and gently pinched her earlobe. From his previous experiments, Luo Qingyu’s earlobes were particularly sensitive but not as excessively as Luo Yueguan’s. The most sensitive part of Luo Qingyu’s body... was her pink tips.

Last night, Luo Qingyu toyed with him... no, he needed to find a way to turn things around and regain his authority.

The spiritual boat sailed through the sea of clouds for a while. Bai Li also brought a stool to sit beside them. Jiang Huai took out a storage ring filled with lots of snacks, various healing pills, Qi Recovery Pills, and critical life-saving pills that could temporarily increase cultivation but would damage vitality. He had sorted and annotated them all when he had time yesterday and handed them to Bai Li for safekeeping.

Bai Li had more experience with secret realms, so with her leading the way and controlling the situation in the Immortal Spirit Secret Realm, Jiang Huai felt more at ease. Bai Li accepted everything, then smiled lightly at him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Qingyu sister.”

“Alright, be careful and be very cautious.”

Bai Li nodded lightly, and the two exchanged a glance, knowing that there was no need for further admonition.

......

Tianxuan Sect, Guangxue Mountain.

“Let’s stop the sword practice for today,” Chu Xianning sheathed her wooden sword, her gaze falling on Wen Wanwan standing before her.

Wearing a white Taoist robe, Wen Wanwan’s cheeks were slightly flushed. Upon hearing Chu Xianning’s words, her tense body relaxed, her delicate lips parted slightly as she began to breathe in short gasps.

It had been fifteen days since Jiang Huai had descended the mountain. During these days, Wen Wanwan practiced swordsmanship with Chu Xianning for an hour each day, and Chu Xianning taught her earnestly.

Over time, Chu Xianning gradually noticed with surprise that Wen Wanwan’s progress always seemed a bit more than she expected. Each day, when she thought Wen Wanwan had learned something, by the next day, Wen Wanwan would be even more proficient than she was at the end of the previous day’s practice. Chu Xianning soon realized the reason: Wen Wanwan must have been practicing diligently on her own after returning home.

This improved Chu Xianning’s impression of her considerably.

Her only direct disciple, Jiang Huai, was an utter lazybones, yet his talent was excessively high, so she couldn’t really reprimand him. Wen Wanwan, although less talented, was diligent and filial. Over these days, Wen Wanwan served tea to Chu Xianning daily and cleaned the courtyard. She even took care of the flowers and plants, and although Chu Xianning said nothing, she took note of it all.

Yesterday, Wen Wanwan even brought homemade pastries, and Chu Xianning, who usually didn’t like accepting gifts, made an exception and tried one.

Recently, Wen Wanwan had taken on quite a few orders from Alchemy Mountain. She explained that she was taking them on behalf of Jiang Huai, earning a good amount of spirit stones for him. But Chu Xianning knew very well that Jiang Huai didn’t lack spirit stones at all. He was just lazy. If he really wanted to earn spirit stones, with his skills in alchemy or array drawing, he would have many ways to do so. He was just looking for a legitimate reason to earn some cultivation resources for Wen Wanwan without making her feel inferior. Chu Xianning saw through this but never pointed it out. For some reason, she felt a certain fondness for Wen Wanwan that she couldn’t quite explain.

If Wen Wanwan were to be Jiang Huai’s Dao companion, Chu Xianning felt it might be better than Luo Qingyu.

Chu Xianning didn’t dislike Luo Qingyu, but she always felt that Luo Qingyu’s expressions were slightly insincere. Having lived for six hundred years, although she herself was always cool and indifferent, not bothering to be all things to all people, she had seen many and could often tell whether the emotions in someone’s eyes were genuine or fake.

“You’ve fully learned ‘Moon Gazing’ and ‘Slashing the Mist.’ Now you can be considered to have officially entered the door. From now on, it’s up to you to explore on your own. My ‘Silver Radiance’ sword technique doesn’t have many variations. Starting tomorrow, I will teach you ‘Breaking Branches,’ a sword technique that focuses on the soul. With your constitution (Taixuan Sacred Body), you should make twice the progress with half the effort. Go back and rest well.”

“Mm, Wanwan still has an alchemy order to complete... I’ll leave a bit later.”

“Go ahead,” Chu Xianning said indifferently.

Wen Wanwan nodded lightly, then went to the rear courtyard’s bathhouse first. After bathing and dressing, she went to the bamboo grove in the backyard, where Jiang Huai’s alchemy furnace was located. During this time, she earned more than ten thousand spirit stones for Jiang Huai, a really profitable business. She had never seen so many spirit stones in her life.

Her sister’s health had improved a lot recently. She could now hop and skip in the courtyard all day, and her own cultivation had also gotten on the right track. She was now at the late great perfection stage of Foundation Establishment. In fact, she had more than enough spiritual energy for Core Formation, but Jiang Huai had promised to accompany her to the Daoji Ancestral Land. So she kept refining the spiritual energy in her body, making it purer to facilitate her future Core Formation and to have a better chance of producing a superior spirit pill.

Wen Wanwan had never been one to ask for much. Her greatest wish in life was just for her sister’s health to improve. Beyond that, she had never considered her own future. As an elder sister, she should take good care of her younger sister; that was her duty. But now that her sister was gradually needing her less and less, she began to feel a bit lost and anxious, starting to think about her own future.

She knew that Senior Brother Jiang Huai would soon marry Luo Qingyu.

Fairy Qingyu’s status was so noble; she and Senior Brother Jiang Huai were a match made in heaven. They looked so well-matched together. Whenever she saw Luo Qingyu’s eyes, she would subconsciously dodge them, not sure if it was out of guilt or cowardice.

If Senior Brother Jiang Huai got married... would she still have a chance to stay by his side? Would Luo Qingyu agree to Jiang Huai having her as a concubine? She had never aspired to the status of a wife, but even as a concubine... it seemed she might not have such an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Wen Wanwan felt slightly breathless. She lowered her head. At this moment, she was standing in the bathhouse, her fair and dazzling body submerged in water. Her fingertips gently brushed her skin, feeling its smoothness.

If she were to ask Senior Brother Jiang Huai for the status of a concubine... would he find it difficult?

Wen Wanwan’s eyelashes drooped slightly.

......

Luo Yueguan’s spirit boat arrived at the Tianxuan Sect.

Lifting her hand, Luo Yueguan enveloped Jiang Huai in spiritual energy and gently set him down towards Guangxue Mountain. Then, as if she remembered something, she sent a message to Chu Xianning’s location on Guangxue Mountain.

The message was simply to inform Chu Xianning about recent events and, most importantly, to tell her that Jiang Huai had personally set a wedding date with Luo Qingyu on her twentieth birthday.

She wasn’t worried that Jiang Huai would be annoyed. It was something that had to be said sooner or later. Since Jiang Huai didn’t know how to bring it up, she might as well do it.

“I’ve told your master about the wedding date you and Qingyu have finally set,” Luo Yueguan said, glancing at Jiang Huai in front of her.

“Okay,” Jiang Huai nodded lightly.

He was gently holding Luo Qingyu, and now he lightly kissed her lips as the time to part approached.

Luo Yueguan used spiritual energy to lower Jiang Huai onto Guangxue Mountain, and then the spirit boat disappeared from Jiang Huai’s view at high speed. Jiang Huai approached the courtyard gate, which was tightly closed, and gently pushed it open.

Chu Xianning, in a white Taoist robe, was sitting in the pavilion, her eyes on the steaming cup of tea, with Luo Yueguan’s message still echoing in her ears.

Hearing the sound of the gate opening, she turned her head indifferently to meet Jiang Huai’s gaze.

Jiang Huai stood under the tree, the bright and hot summer sun casting a mottled shadow through the leaves.

He was in the dappled light while Chu Xianning sat in the shade of the pavilion.

“I’m back.”

Chu Xianning nodded slightly, saying nothing.

Jiang Huai sat down opposite her, took the teacup from the table to brew himself a cup, and after a moment’s hesitation, he said.

“I found a lot of treasures in the secret realm, and I was lucky to find a Dragon Blood Spirit Flower. I’ll go to the pharmacy later to find the auxiliary medicinal materials to refine a medicine for master to treat old injuries.”

Chu Xianning gazed at his cheek for a few seconds, then said nothing.

After Jiang Huai went to the Burial Dragon Valley, she had inquired about it. The Dragon Blood Spirit Flower was rumored to attract countless cultivators to the secret realm, but he had said he was going to find medicine to heal his own injuries.

“What about the spiritual medicine for your injuries?” Chu Xianning asked indifferently.

Jiang Huai scratched his head, “I haven’t found the right one yet, but I encountered many fortunes in the secret realm. My friend gained the opportunity to transform into a dragon, and I received the Primordial Life and Death Sword inheritance from the Jishi True Person. It’s quite powerful.”

Chu Xianning’s eyelashes drooped slightly, and she responded softly, “That’s good.”

Jiang Huai stared at Chu Xianning seriously for a while. Chu Xianning didn’t speak, but after a while, she looked up indifferently.

“Why are you staring at me?”

“I haven’t seen master for a long time, so I wanted to take a good look.”

“Have you looked enough?”

Jiang Huai quickly averted his gaze, turned his face away, and stood up, “Then I’ll go take a bath.”

“Wen Wanwan is in the bathhouse. Don’t barge in recklessly.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for her outside.”

Chu Xianning watched Jiang Huai’s retreating figure for a while before turning her face away.

Although Chu Xianning didn’t understand medicine, she had once accidentally obtained a bit of the inheritance of reading qi. As soon as she saw Jiang Huai, she noticed his pale complexion, unsteady footsteps, and disordered breath.

It’s at least eight times last night.
