Chapter 409 - 409 Warm-Hearted?
409 Warm-Hearted?
Shangguan Yun’er was very surprised when she heard Dong Xi’s words. In the end, she sat down again and said with a deep meaning. “I didn’t expect this Little Ya to be so warm-hearted.”
“Isn’t that so?” Dong Xi said with a smile.
Dong Xi had been waiting for news of Little Ya. If the Shangguan family could not find her, it would be even more difficult for Dong Xi to find her alone.
But what Dong Xi did not expect was that the first message she received was not from Little Ya and Tie Zhu, but from Rui Ming.
Dong Xi saw that it was Rui Ming’s name that had lit up. Dong Xi was excited and immediately opened it to check. Rui Ming had sent a message.
[Junior Sister, I’m in a Secret Realm.]
Just as Dong Xi was about to ask if there was any danger, Rui Ming sent another message.
[I saw your father-in-law here.]
“?”
Shangguan Patriarch went to a Secret Realm? Was closed-door cultivation fake?
What kind of Secret Realm did he have to hide like this?
Dong Xi immediately sent a message.
[Senior Brother, protect yourself. Don’t interfere with him. Where is the Secret Realm? Was it dangerous? When is Senior Brother coming back?]
Rui Ming quickly sent a message.
[The Secret Realm is under a small island in the north of the Void Sea. It’s a little dangerous, but I can still protect myself. It’s hard to say when I’ll go back. I’ll go back when I find what I’m looking for.]
Was he looking for something?
Dong Xi frowned. Shangguan Yun’er had what Rui Ming was looking for, but he was also looking for it in this Secret Realm? What is it? Why are they scattered everywhere?
Dong Xi was sure that everyone had secrets, but Senior Brother Rui Ming had more secrets than anyone could imagine.
Dong Xi sent a message.
[Senior Brother, do you need help?]
Rui Ming replied.
[No need. It’s very dangerous here. Don’t come over.]
In the end, she calculated that there were many variables in Rui Ming’s plan, so it was still safe for now.
Dong Xi did not dare to act rashly when he saw this divination. There were so many variables, and Dong Xi definitely could not become a variable which made it even more complicated for Elder Brother.
Putting away the pen and paper, Dong Xi turned around and saw Shangguan Yun’er standing beside her.
Shangguan Yun’er looked at Dong Xi’s handwriting. Shangguan Yun’er asked curiously, “Husband, what is this?”
Dong Xi saw that Shangguan Yun’er was very curious. Dong Xi smiled and said, “Arithmetic. I just wrote it down casually.”
Shangguan Yun’er asked curiously, “”Arithmetic? Is it for fortune telling?”
“You can say so.” Dong Xi nodded.
Shangguan Yun’er’s eyes were filled with envy. She said, “Cultivators are really good. They can live for a long time and learn a lot, unlike me…”
As she spoke, Shangguan Yun’er’s expression dimmed.
Dong Xi looked at the dejected beauty, then at the pen and paper in her hand. She suddenly thought of something.
“Husband,” said Shangguan Yun’er.
Only then did Dong Xi regain her senses. Looking at Shangguan Yun’er, Dong Xi revealed a smile.
“I’ve thought of it, Madam. You’re saved,” said Dong Xi.
Shangguan Yun’er’s face was filled with astonishment as she looked at Dong Xi in puzzlement. Shangguan Yun’er said, “Husband, why do you say that? Aren’t I fine now? My days are also very good. Why do you say that I’m saved?”
Dong Xi was still smiling. She said, “Madam, do you want to become a cultivator too?”
Shangguan Yun’er was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to recover. Shangguan Yun’er said in disbelief, “You… what did you say?”
“Madam, do you want to become a cultivator?” Dong Xi asked again with a smile.
“Of course I do. How could I not?” Shangguan Yun’er said with a bitter smile. Being born in the cultivation world and becoming a mortal is better than being born in the mortal world.”
Dong Xi naturally knew that Shangguan Yun’er had a belly full of grievances. Who would want to be a mortal when they saw others moving mountains and filling seas?
“Who said mortals can’t cultivate?” Dong Xi asked again.
Shangguan Yun’er was stunned for a moment, then she shook her head and said, “I don’t even have a spirit root. How can I cultivate? Husband, don’t make fun of me.”
Dong Xi thought about how Dong Rourou would enter the Dao through martial arts a few years later. Before that, Dong Rourou was also a mortal.
Other than martial arts, there were also people who sought the taste of the world and entered the path through food.
There were many paths to the Great Dao. There was no need to just stare at one path until it was dark.
Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun’er and said seriously, “There was an old man in Xiangshan who liked to drink wine and entered the Dao with wine. He was called the Wine Immortal. There was a chef in the mortal world who searched for the taste of the world and entered the Dao with food…Which of these seniors isn’t proficient in a Dao and have studied it deeply, eventually attaining a Great Dao? Why don’t Madam try this method as well?”
