The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 193 - 197: The Blissful Life of the Rich Second Generation (Part 8)

Chapter 193: Chapter 197: The Blissful Life of the Rich Second Generation (Part 8)

Su Li deliberately turned her head and glanced at the young Xu Qingchuan, seeing that the child was oblivious to what the two beside him were mentioning about his father.

Seeing his mother look over, he even revealed a soft, adorable smile.

"Yes, yes, did you hear about it too?"

"Indeed, who would have thought that Lord Changli, a Heavenly Talent, could do such a thing? Turns out his former Daoist couple had not perished at all. I heard she has emerged from the Small Secret Realm and even flew up to Sword Peak, splitting one side of the peak into two halves."

"I was saying that a year ago, Lord Changli was too hasty. And if you think about it, the period when his twin dragons were born coincides with the time his former Daoist couple went into the Secret Realm and got entangled with Fairy Hong."

"It’s said that the twins born by Fairy Hong have decent talents. The boy has the rare Pure Sword Body, no wonder he took an interest in Fairy Hong and her children."

"I’ve also heard that Lord Changli dislikes the children born by his former Daoist couple immensely. He even allows the Outer Disciples to bully them arbitrarily."

"Really? After all, they are his own blood, can he be that heartless?"

"Indeed... It seems that Immortal Su caught him in the act, which is why he, in a fit of anger, flattened a peak with a single sword strike."

I heard, I heard...

From their conversation, Su Li could hear their secretive gossip.

She mentally praised Changsheng, the boy had skills. In just a short moment, he had spread the gossips about a Nascent Soul Lord all over.

Chang Yuan was utterly infuriated. The gossip about Kunlun Mountain had gotten more absurd in just a few days, and some sect disciples who came early to offer congratulations had brought these rumors to Kunlun Mountain, where almost the entire sect was now secretly discussing the matter.

While there was some reservation when it came to a Nascent Soul Lord, there was none for Hong Qingqing, who only had Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Rumors of her beauty were such that they were said to be heavenly unmatched, which is why Lord Changli would prefer her over his proper Nascent Soul Daoist couple.

I heard, for this wife and child he previously had, they were terribly mistreated.

Chang Yuan only came to know of these rumors through a cautious inquiry by an elder from the Immortal Sword Sect.

Right then, a set of teacups in the hall became casualties.

The people he sent out couldn’t trace where exactly these rumors originated, but knew that they started from a small town, carried in the light-hearted chat of two junior cultivators with swords.

No matter how much Xu Huaiying wanted to keep it secret, the ones who should know, like Hong Qingqing, had already found out.

Now, she held her child, sitting in tears, inconsolable no matter how her husband tried to comfort her.

"I really feel like dying, so many ugly things are being said outside... They call me a wicked stepmother who can’t even tolerate a five-year-old child..."

"My heart..."

Xu Huaiying was at a loss, trying to wipe away his wife’s tears, but they only flowed more prolifically.

He consoled her helplessly, "I understand your heart, you were actually doing it for Qingchuan’s best, I know that."

Upon hearing this, Hong Qingqing managed to stop some of her tears, her misty eyes tenderly looking over, "Really, do you truly understand my good intentions?"

As long as it would stop his wife from crying, Xu Huaiying was momentarily relieved, "Yes, yes, Qingchuan must think the same. Those slandering words outside, just don’t take them to heart. Eventually, we will have Qingchuan thank you in front of everyone, then they will know they misunderstood you."

Hong Qingqing burst into laughter through her tears, but hesitated and said, "Will Qingchuan be unwilling? I’m afraid he might also misunderstand me."

Xu Huaiying retorted, "If he dares! I am his father; how dare he not listen to me."

At that moment, Xu Huaiying seemed like the most ordinary man in the world, a husband and father driven by the same passions and desires as any other, no longer the elevated Nascent Soul Lord he was known to be.

Seeing the promise from her Daoist couple, satisfaction flashed in Hong Qingqing’s eyes, and she finally revealed her long-lost smile. She then handed the child she was holding to Xu Huaiying, saying, "Quick, look at our child, he’s starting to look more and more like you."

After Xu Huaiying had finally comforted his wife, he casually beckoned to a disciple, "Go, bring Xu Qingchuan to me; I want to see him."

The young disciple, stunned, stared at the Peak Master of Sword Peak, momentarily speechless.

Xu Huaiying frowned and barked angrily, "What are you stunned for..."

However, his eldest disciple couldn’t bear it anymore. "Master, Qingchuan was taken away a few days ago by Madam...oh, I mean, by Immortal Su."

Xu Huaiying’s expression froze, and he became furious. "Why don’t I know about such an important matter?"

His eldest disciple was also taken aback and awkwardly unsure how to explain.

In the past, whenever they reported little junior brother’s news to their master, he seemed impatient to listen; he thought it would be the same this time...

Moreover, rumors about the little junior brother and the former Madam were rampant outside; he truly didn’t understand how his master could be unaware.

Xu Huaiying flicked his sleeves and, riding on his sword, flew toward the Sect Leader Hall. freewebnøvel.coɱ

The eldest disciple, frowning, whispered to the young disciple from earlier, "Don’t go spreading rumors."

However, as soon as the eldest disciple turned around, the young disciple went off, gossiping quietly with his friends.

It turned out that Lord Changli was just as the outside rumors said; he really could disregard his own flesh and blood.

Meanwhile, Su Li, after showing Xu Qingchuan around the small town, did not head straight back to Joy Sect but instead detoured towards Immortal Sword Sect, which was in the opposite direction to the Joy Sect.

She still remembered her promise to that Divine Soul, so she thought she might as well check it out this time.

"Mother, this is the Immortal Sword Sect, isn’t it? It looks so imposing."

The style of Immortal Sword Sect was completely different from Kunlun Mountain, adopting a luxurious approach.

A giant sword, cast from gold, at the gate was so dazzling that it almost hurt to look at it.

Although gold and silver were worthless in the Cultivation World, such usage was still considered peculiar and ostentatious, reminiscent of a newly rich landlord without any sense of aesthetics.

The style of the disciples inside also left much to be desired; their swords, to varying degrees, followed this trend, adorned with mundane gold and jade. These embellishments served no purpose other than to flaunt wealth...

Su Li, leading a young boy and distinct from everyone else’s refreshing presence, immediately attracted attention upon their appearance.

"Yo, where did these two poor souls come from..."

Su Li had concealed her cultivation; at that moment, she appeared like a rich, beautiful heiress from the mortal world.

"The entrance test has been over for quite a while now. If you want to join our sect, you will need..."

A sleazy-looking disciple, rubbing his hands, gestured a few times, "Or perhaps, since you’re so beautiful..."
