Chapter 1723: Cultivation talent (1)
The sudden cry startled the women in the hall. The aunt held her chest and complained,
“Speak properly, are you trying to scare me to death?”
I … Ji baiqing glanced at her but did not say anything.
The aunt didn’t notice her sister-in-law’s gaze. She looked at Xu Qi ‘an and asked, ”
“Is there a problem?”
Xu lingyue immediately looked at her eldest brother, and her birth mother also looked over.
My woman has become an elder for no reason. Do you think there’s a problem … Xu Qi ‘an laughed drily.
there’s no problem. It’s just that her identity is a little inappropriate.
As soon as he finished speaking, his aunt sighed.
“I already know.”
She had a look of pity on her face.
What do you know … Xu Qi ‘an remained silent and waited for her aunt to say something.
His aunt said, ”
“I know, my sister’s husband offended a cunning, lecherous villain. That villain is someone he can’t afford to offend.
“The villain killed my sister’s husband in front of everyone, causing her to become a widow. You have a deep friendship with her husband and after knowing about this matter, you avenged her and took care of her, inviting her to stay in your residence for a few days.”
Mu nanzhi showed a sad expression in cooperation.
Xu Qi ‘an was stunned. He thought to himself,”don’t tell me I’m that cunning, lecherous, and evil man.”
His aunt continued,
“As the saying goes, there are many quarrels in front of a widow’s door. Elder sister can not live in the residence for no reason, so I became sworn brothers with her. You have to call her aunt mu in the future.”
Her aunt still firmly believed that mu nanzhi and her nephew were innocent.
On the other hand, Xu lingyue thought that aunt mu, whose identity was unknown but was destined to be noble, had secretly fallen in love with her big brother after her husband’s death and wanted to have an affair with him-this was what Xu lingyue had tested herself.
But Xu lingyue also firmly believed that this was aunt MU’s one-sided love.
The flower God won the Xu family’s trust with his ” excellent ” looks.
Mu nanzhi glanced at Xu Qi ‘an and smiled.
“I’m 15 years older than ningyan, so it’s not too much to call me aunt.”
…….. The corners of Xu Qi ‘an’s mouth twitched, and he said with a fake smile, ”
“Aunt mu,”
The flower God nodded in satisfaction.
Ji baiqing looked at him, hesitating to speak.
Xu Qian understood and said indifferently, ”
“I will bring Xu yuanshuang and Xu yuanhuai out tomorrow. Auntie, my mother and the two little … I’ll have to trouble you to arrange the residence for the younger generation.”
The Xu Manor originally had a three-entry courtyard. Later, second uncle Xu bought the courtyard next door, broke through the walls, and expanded it to a larger size.
And because of the Xu family’s lack of descendants, empty rooms were everywhere.
However, Xu Qi ‘an’s idea was that her mother could live in the inner courtyard of the Xu mansion, while Xu yuanshuang and Xu yuanhuai had to move to the newly bought courtyard next door to make an appropriate division.
Otherwise, if three strangers suddenly moved in, not only would the Xu family feel uncomfortable, Xu yuanshuang and Xu yuanhuai might not feel comfortable either.
Of course, if the three of them wanted to move out, Xu Qi ‘an would not object, but he would not take the initiative to ask them to live outside.
This was what he thought. Ji baiqing’s love for him was genuine. If she hadn’t gone to great lengths to escape back to the capital and give birth to ” Xu Qi ‘an “, he wouldn’t be who he was now.
Therefore, as the eldest son, he would not shirk the responsibility of “supporting” his widowed mother.
Ji baiqing heaved a sigh of relief. Now that Xu Qi ‘an had accepted her, Yuan Shuang and Yuan Huai could still be by her side. She had no regrets.
She did want to live in the Xu estate, but not in a homeless manner. She just did not want to be too far away from the eldest son.
She had missed this son of hers for 21 years. It was not easy for them to reunite, and she was unwilling to let him go so easily.
…………
Feng Qi Palace.
The Empress Dowager was feeling sleepy. She lay on her side on the soft couch and was about to fall asleep.
Squeak~
She heard the sound of the outer door being pushed open, but she did not open her eyes. She frowned and said, ”
“Bengong is tired, do not nag.”
She thought it was a Palace maid who had come in.
The Empress Dowager’s personality was indifferent, and she rarely got angry or happy. When the palace maids and eunuchs in Feng Qi Palace did something wrong, she was too lazy to reprimand them.
As such, it was inevitable that there would be some Palace maids and eunuchs who did not follow the rules.
Creak. The door closed, and the sound of steady and slow footsteps approached.
The Empress Dowager didn’t say anything else. After a few seconds of silence, she slowly opened her eyes.
During this process, her gaze did not directly look at the person. Instead, she first looked at the boots, then at the robe, and finally at the person’s face.
He was like a gambler who had nothing left and was revealing his last card.
She was not disappointed. She saw his handsome features, his slightly frosty sideburns, and his gentle gaze that contained the vicissitudes of life.
The Empress Dowager’s eyes instantly blurred.
The man laughed.
“I’m here. It’s not too late, is it?”
Tears instantly gushed out of her eyes. The Empress Dowager turned her face to the side, letting the tears flow down.
She had been waiting for this sentence for half her life.
…………
The lights were just lit.
At the dining table, Xu niannian was holding a bowl and eating with his head lowered. Occasionally, he would look up and examine Ji baiqing.
This person’s appearance surprised him, but he was not surprised.
Accidents were inevitable when there was suddenly an elder in the family.
He was not surprised because he knew that Nangong qianrou had led the Army to wipe out the hidden Dragon City. It was normal for her to bring back a few ‘captives’.
He felt that it was quite good. Since big brother had brought his birth mother back, then there would definitely be no problem with this Auntie.
After Xu niannian and Xu Pingzhi returned to the mansion, especially the latter, the harmonious atmosphere in the daytime suddenly became a little stiff and heavy.
Perhaps only the Fox cubs did not notice the subtle change in the atmosphere. Bai Ji stood up on mu Nanxi’s legs and placed her two front paws on the edge of the table. She wanted to eat the roasted chicken, so she pointed with her little paws and said in a tender girlish voice, ”
“I want to eat this!”
If he wanted to eat red braised meat, he would raise his paw and point at the red braised meat.
Mu nanzhi would always pick food for it.
After greeting his sister-in-law, Xu Pingzhi didn’t say anything else. After drinking a pot of wine, he finally couldn’t help but ask, ”
“Ningyan, where did Xu Pingfeng go?”
Xu niannian looked at his brother subconsciously.
The two brothers had kept Xu Pingfeng’s death a secret from second uncle Xu.
When he saw his sister-in-law today, second uncle Xu, “：？：：：？Ned finally spoke up.
Xu Qi ‘an chewed on the rice and said in a calm tone, ”
“Dead. I died the day I returned to the capital. I killed him with my own hands.”
Xu Pingzhi was silent for a moment, then replied with an ” Oh ” without any expression. He lowered his head and continued to eat, but his speed of eating was much faster.
Not long after, he was the first to finish his meal. He wiped the corner of his mouth and said, ” I’m done.
Without giving the crowd a chance to speak, he stood up and left the inner hall, walking into the inner courtyard in the night.
In just two to three minutes, everyone in the hall heard a faint voice. The sound of wailing came from the inner courtyard.
No one spoke. They pretended not to hear and continued eating.
Bai Ji’s pointed ears twitched a few times and she turned back to look at mu nanzhi. She was about to say something when a piece of meat was stuffed into her mouth.
Bai Ji happily ate the meat.
“Cough, cough!”
When his father stopped crying, Xu Erlang cleared his throat, lifted his chin and announced, ”
“I’ve already reached the sixth stage of the Confucian realm. You might not know this, but in the Confucian system, the sixth stage is a dividing line. Only students who had reached this realm could be considered as true mainstays.
that’s because a sixth-grade Confucian scholar has extraordinary combat power. They are among the best in the same realm of various major systems.
He used ” the mainstay ” and ” the best ” to hint to everyone that he had reached this stage at his age, which was enough to say that he had outstanding talent.
Xu Qi ‘an nodded.
“Not bad, Erlang’s talent is indeed not bad.”
Xu Erlang was just about to say a few humble words when he heard his big brother say, ”
“If we don’t count aunty, Erlang’s talent is a bit stronger than second uncle’s. He’s probably the fourth in the family.”
What did fourth mean? Big brother can’t be jealous of my talent and is suppressing me, right …? Xu niannian said lightly, ”
“Big brother, don’t joke around. Who are the second and third?”
Xu Qi ‘an pondered and said, ”
“It’s hard to say who will be second or third, but you’ll definitely be fourth.”
Xu niannian raised his eyebrows and said, ”
“Could it be that lingyue’s talent in cultivation is better than mine?”
Xu Qi ‘an immediately looked at the beautiful girl.
“What rank is lingyue now?”
With his current cultivation level, he had long noticed that Xu lingyue was secretly cultivating the heart of Daoism.
Xu lingyue said in a soft voice, ”
“Level Seven Qi-consuming, I’ve asked the master of the spirit Treasure Temple.”
？？A series of question marks flashed in Xu Erlang’s mind.
Lingyue seventh stage?
When did she start cultivating? it seemed to be after her big brother had traveled around the world. She had become a disciple of the Lingbao temple and learned the cultivation methods of the Daoist sects.
It seemed to be only four months ago?
Thinking of this, Xu Erlang was stunned.
To reach the seventh stage in four months, what kind of talent was this?
Xu lingyue said aggrievedly, ”
“I didn’t know that this was the ability of a seventh stage Qi-consuming cultivator, because it was all just me trying to figure it out and randomly cultivating it.”
As she spoke, she summoned a dish with her finger and let it float in front of her.
Self-taught to rank-7? Xu niannian’s mouth opened bit by bit as he looked at his sister in a daze.
Father, let’s cry together … He turned his head abruptly and looked at the inner courtyard.
………
On the dark seabed, desolate’s giant body was drifting with the current. When it reached an abyss, five or six tentacles suddenly reached out from the dark abyss, aggressively blocking its way.
“How unlucky, to actually encounter this thing here.” Huang
..
[ PS: Xu Qi ‘an only knew that desolate was the descendant of a God, but he didn’t know that it was a God. The only ones who knew were the Sorcerer God and salen AGU. ] There are quite a lot of details in this book, so sometimes I will keep emphasizing some details repeatedly, just in case everyone forgets. Now you know that it’s not water.“”
