Chapter 278 Tao Tao’s Letter
“Sure enough, with Xu Ning’s aptitude and ability, even if he came to State Wansheng from the Abyss North, he is still a top-notch existence.”
He Mingye sighed as he looked at the powerful sect in front of him.
Si Ying was also full of anticipation.
The first time she met Xu Ning was when Xu Ning saved her life.
Ever since then, Si Ying had always worshiped Xu Ning.
“Senior Brother, Senior Sister Si!”
The two were waiting when they suddenly saw a figure flash in front of them.
Xu Ning walked forward with a smile on his face.
“Xu Ning!”
After seeing Xu Ning appear, He Mingye and Si Ying also showed the joy of reuniting with their old friend.
“I didn’t expect the both of you to come to me!”
Xu Ning felt warm in his heart when he saw the two familiar faces.
This feeling of meeting his old friends in a foreign land after two years was very warm. “Come, let’s go to the sect!”
Afterwards, Xu Ning personally led the two to the main peak.
Xu Ning brewed a cup of spiritual medicinal tea for each of them.
“Senior Brother, Senior Sister Si, when did you break through to the dao realm?”
Xu Ning asked at this moment.
When Xu Ning saw the two of them, he noticed that they had both advanced to the first stage of the dao realm.
“We both had our own lucky encounters.” He Mingye told Xu Ning about the process of his and Si Ying’s advancements. “Our advancement was quite lucky.”
Si Ying smiled and said, “We were both relying on external forces, so our foundation is not particularly strong.”
“It’s fine.”
Xu Ning said, “State Wansheng has rich spiritual energy and a better cultivation environment. It can help to stabilize your foundation in a short period of time. Plus, you have broken through to the dao realm at such a young age, so you are considered above average in State Wansheng.”
He Mingye and Si Ying were both in their thirties.
Judging by the lifespan of a dao realm master, there was still a lot of cultivation time ahead of them.
“Xu Ning, we didn’t expect you to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect to this extent in just two years. It’s unbelievable.”
He Mingye said, “If Senior Wan Ye knows that you have led the Swallow Heron Sect to this point, he will definitely be very happy. He might even rush here from the Abyss North.”
“I was just lucky.”
Xu Ning said modestly. He Mingye and Si Ying just smiled. They knew that Xu Ning was very humble.
At the same time, seeing that Xu Ning was still the same as before, without changing his attitude towards them because of his strength and status, the two were very happy. “How is Senior Wan Ye now?”
Xu Ning asked the two about Wan Ye since they had mentioned him.
“Although Senior Wan Ye’s old injuries have not been completely healed, his injuries are now under control.”
He Mingye said, “Senior Wan Ye said that the pills you gave him before leaving the Abyss North were very useful.”
“That’s good.”
After hearing that Wan Ye’s injuries were under control, Xu Ning nodded.
With Xu Ning’s current level, he could easily refine more effective pills to heal Wan Ye’s injuries.
With just a period of recuperation, Xu Ning could return Wan Ye to his peak state.
Xu Ning planned to take the time to return to the Abyss North and completely heal Wan Ye’s injuries. “Master, Qiu Renshan, Du Yuan, and Duan Qinghui, are they all okay?”
Xu Ning asked again.
Qiu Renshan, Du Yuan, and Duan Qinghui forcibly broke through to the dao realm and were seriously injured by the people of the Jade Night Sect. They had to rest for several years. “The three elders are in good condition, but it will take five years for them to completely recover.”
He Mingye said, “The three of them plan to come to State Wansheng in five years.”
“As for Master, he has already condensed an attribute seed, and he is still condensing a second one. If Master wants to break through to the dao realm, it may take a longer time.”
“I see…”
Xu Ning nodded.
Mi Xingye was the leader of a large sect in the Abyss North.
But in State Wansheng, it was only considered not bad.
“By the way, Xu Ning.”
He Mingye took out a letter and handed it to him.
“Who wrote this?”
Xu Ning asked.
“Take a look for yourself.”
He Mingye smiled.
Xu Ning took it and looked at the childish handwriting on the envelope. On it were the words “Dear Uncle”.
“Tao Tao?”
Xu Ning’s eyes lit up. When Xu Ning left, Tao Tao’s writing was still incomplete, and her writing was crooked. Now it seemed that although it was still a little tender, it was very straight.
Xu Ning quickly opened the letter and read it.
Xu Ning’s mouth was curled up as he read.
Xu Ning read the letter that contained several hundred words for a while.
“This Tao Tao…”
After reading it, Xu Ning carefully put away the letter.
In the letter, Tao Tao told him about the Tao family.
First, Tao Tao herself entered the Source Sect and became the disciple of Sect Master Feng Xiu.
Because of Xu Ning, Feng Xiu valued her greatly.
Tao Tao also knew that she couldn’t embarrass her uncle Xu Ning, so she practiced martial arts extremely hard.
Tao Tao was only nine years old, but she was already in the mortal realm sixth stage through her own efforts and the medicinal pills left behind by Xu Ning.
However, this result was only gained after she had spent a lot of time building a good foundation.
Although Tao Tao was far inferior to Xu Ning, Xu Ning was already very satisfied with this cultivation speed.
In addition to Tao Tao herself, she also mentioned her parents, Xu Ning’s brother-in-law Tao Yunchuan and sister Xu Lian.
Although the two of them did not practice martial arts, because they had taken medicinal pills, they were forcibly pushed to the high level of the mortal realm.
They didn’t have any actual combat experience. The so-called advancement in the martial arts realm was just a way to strengthen their bodies.
Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian had been living in Yunying City and were staying with the Wei family in order to take care of Tao Tao.
Because of Xu Ning’s prestige, their lives were relatively comfortable.
The only discomfort was that they were too far away from their hometown.
Tao Tao mentioned Guo Ye at in the tailend letter.
The changes of Guo Ye’s life surprised Xu Ning.
Over the past two years, Guo Ye had gotten married and even had a son!
Xu Ning looked at the letter and almost laughed out loud.
Xu Ning wanted to go back and take Guo Ye’s son as his godson.
“It’s only been two years, but so much has changed…”
Xu Ning sighed ruefully.
Tao Tao had become a big kid, and Guo Ye had a son.
“When the time is right, let’s go back to the Abyss North and take a look.”
Si Ying also sensed Xu Ning’s homesickness and said.
“Mmm…”
Xu Ning nodded.
“By the way, Senior Brother, Senior Sister Si…”
After another conversation, Xu Ning asked, “What are your plans after coming to State Wansheng?”
“Nothing in particular.”
He Mingye said straightforwardly, “I already thought about it before coming here, we are here to seek shelter from you.”
Xu Ning laughed. “Okay, then the both of you can join the Swallow Heron Sect.”
“Okay!”
He Mingye and Si Ying responded at the same time.
They were satisfied. For ordinary outsiders in State Wansheng, it would take more than a decade or even decades to gain a foothold.
But because of Xu Ning, they had a place to stay in State Wansheng.
With Xu Ning taking care of them, they no longer had to worry about their cultivation resources and their safety.
“However, if you join the sect, I can only give you the status of a prospective elder first. Otherwise, there may be dissatisfaction in the sect.”
Xu Ning said bluntly.
“Up to you.”
He Mingye and Si Ying did not care.
They were not interested in gaining authority in the Swallow Heron Sect.
“However…”
He Mingye suddenly said, “Before officially joining the Swallow Heron Sect, we have to go to the Source Sect in State Wansheng first.”
“The Source Sect has a way to communicate with the Abyss North, so we have to deliver the news that we have arrived safely. Moreover, Sect Master Feng Xiu in the Abyss North also asked us to go to the Source Sect in State Wansheng to take a look.” “Sure.”
Xu Ning nodded.
Previously, after Xu Ning safely arrived at the Abyss North, he had asked the Source Sect to help deliver the news.
“Xu Ning, have you contacted the Source Sect in State Wansheng recently?”
He Mingye asked.
“No.”
Xu Ning said, “Ever since we parted ways in State Wansheng, we haven’t met again.”
“Is that so…”
He Mingye pondered and said, “The reason why Sect Master Feng Xiu asked us to visit the Source Sect after coming to State Wansheng is because there has been no news from State Wansheng for more than a year, and it made Sect Master Feng Xiu a little worried.” “Oh?”
Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.
Xu Ning knew that the connection between the two Source Sects was through a special tool.
However, that special tool was not a two-way connection, but a one-way connection.
Only State Wansheng could deliver news to the Abyss North, but not the other way around.
When the Jade Night Sect invaded the Abyss North, it was a one-way message from State Wansheng to the Abyss North.
“Is that so…”
Xu Ning thought for a moment. “In this case, I will go with you in a few days.”
Over the past two years since Xu Ning came to State Wansheng, he had no contact with the Source Sect, although Teng Yunkong and Gu Man had both invited Xu Ning.
Moreover, because State Guqing and State Fengling, where the Source Sect was located, were far apart, they had not heard any news from each other.
After being busy for two years, Xu Ning decided to visit them now that he had some time.
“That is a good time to leave.” He Mingye said, “In that case, we will leave in three days.”
“Okay.”
Xu Ning responded.
“Sect Master!”
Cheng Zengtao suddenly rushed to the main peak.
He learned from his disciple that the Sect Naster’s friends from the Abyss North were here, so he quickly rushed over to meet him. “Senior Brother Cheng, good timing.”
Xu Ning initially wanted to find Cheng Zengtao and ask him to personally help He Mingye and Si Ying integrate with the sect, but now he came here on his own. “These two are my senior brother and my senior sister in the Abyss North, He Mingye and Si Ying. They are both in the first stage of the dao realm, and I plan to appoint them as prospective elders of the sect. Please make the arrangements.”
Xu Ning said.
“Yes, Sect Master.”
Cheng Zengtao responded. Xu Ning’s request was not unreasonable. It was reasonable for two dao realm masters to become prospective elders of the sect.
Plus, even if Xu Ning appointed them as official elders, no one in the sect would express their dissatisfaction.
