He'd rather run than be turned into a cannon fodder for the broken engagement.

Chapter 113 Blood Bodhi

Seeing her serious and determined expression, Leng Feng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Given her current status, it was really not appropriate for her to have anything happen with anyone.

Over those decades, spending so much time with one person, it's hard to say what might happen, especially since their relationship was already unusual.

"Alright, it's good that you're back. You can stay home and cultivate in seclusion. If you go out now, many people will ask why you broke through so quickly and suspect that my Leng family has some secret treasure. Remember to keep your cultivation level low for now. We'll talk about it when the opportunity arises."

Before turning away, Leng Feng instructed, "I'm also going into seclusion to break through to the next level. Don't wander around anymore, and be careful."

"I know." Leng Huan waved to him, reminding her of the matter of suppressing her cultivation level; she had almost forgotten.

When he returned to the courtyard, Leng Huan was still wondering if Fu Xun had left Baiquan Bay.

.

The lake was completely still when the formation flashed, and suddenly a person appeared.

When Fu Xun opened his eyes, he almost thought he was still in the snow-capped mountains of the secret realm!

She sat up abruptly and realized she was in Baiquan Bay. Looking at the lake in front of her, she hesitated for a moment before noticing Leng Huan's letter.

Dust inevitably accumulated on the letter, because it was already half a year later, so when Leng Huan returned home, Fu Xun was still fast asleep.

He patted the sand off his body. The restriction could only protect against demonic beasts and living creatures, not sand and dust. He hadn't expected that after reading through the inherited books, so many months had passed when he woke up.

Leng Huan simply explained that they had come out of Baiquan Lake, that he was injured and unconscious, and that she had urgent business to attend to before leaving.

Fu Xun's mind was currently filled with too much information. With so many classic texts and only half a year left, it was impossible to fully comprehend them all. He rubbed his dazed head and picked up the jade disc from his chest to examine it.

With its outer circle and inner square, symbolizing the ancient Chinese concept of a round heaven and a square earth, this ingenious design allows it to be divided into two parts. However, it appears simple and unadorned, and most people would not guess that this jade disc has a long history.

With a sudden sigh, Fu Xun put away the jade disc, no longer wearing it around his neck, but instead putting it into his ring along with the letter.

It was a pity that she couldn't say goodbye to Leng Huan. She didn't even leave a message of farewell, so it seemed that she didn't plan to see him again.

After wandering around the area for a while, Fu Xun reluctantly took out his sword and removed the tassel from the Xuan Tie sword, replacing it with that of Ju Wang Yi. He didn't care whether the two matched or not.

His divine sense swept across the surrounding dozens of miles, and a pack of desert wolves that had been quietly approaching were frightened away by his oppressive aura.

.

The Misty Immortal Sect's Sword-Asking Peak.

The disciples diligently practiced and honed their swordsmanship, while Zhang Zhaoying stood on a high platform in front of the training ground, looking down at them as they practiced their sword formations.

His close disciple asked him, "Master, when will Junior Brother Yin and Fu Xun return?"

Zhang Zhao sat up straight. "He'll come back when the time is right. Besides, with his talent, even if he were trapped in a secret realm, his cultivation would actually increase faster. He'll just be in seclusion when he comes back, so what difference does it make where he is?"

Sword cultivators can find peace anywhere.

In fact, Fu Xun wanted to find a place with decent spiritual energy to cultivate in seclusion. He could cultivate anywhere anyway, and there was nothing for him to do after returning to the sect.

Having just received the inherited cultivation technique, I should go into seclusion and contemplate it carefully.

The disciple glanced at his master and joked, "But I heard that the sect leader is planning to match Fairy Piaomiao with a partner. Originally, he said he wanted to choose Junior Brother Fu Xun."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhaoying frowned slightly: "That depends on his own decision."

The sect leader has not been involved in affairs for decades. He does not leave seclusion unless it is a major decision. General matters are discussed and handled by the elders.

The current sect leader is in the late Nascent Soul stage. He took office because Fu Xun's nominal master voluntarily relinquished his position. Zhang Zhaoying privately thought that Fu Xun could compete for the next sect leader position.

"This must be very valuable, right?"

Leng Huan looked at the jade box that the Leng family head had given her.

Leng Zhaohe waved his sleeve and left, saying, "What's this? It's not an exaggeration to give you all the resources."

He looked at Leng Huan and said, "The Murong family refused the marriage alliance, but a month ago I released the news that you had returned from your training and broken through to the Golden Core stage. Xiao Feng also broke through. Seeing that we have two more Golden Core cultivators, the Murong family changed their minds and agreed to choose another person for the marriage alliance."

"There are fifteen blood bodhi seeds in this jade box. You can take them and use them."

Leng Huan opened the box and took a look. Inside the foot-long jade box were fifteen neatly arranged oval fruits, each about half the size of a palm, brimming with spiritual energy, crystal clear, and resembling rubies.

She received a total of thirty coins, and she took half of them. The Leng family head was fairly generous, distributing the rest to the other disciples.

"Then, Uncle, who is the one who is betrothed to Murong Qin?"

Leng Huan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uneasy about sacrificing the freedom of other girls for the sake of the family's interests.

People are often not in control of their own destiny in this world.

All girls should meet a good man and have a happy marriage.

Leng Zhaohe: "It's not Murong Qin, it's Murong Bao, a member of a collateral branch of the Murong family. Only your sixth uncle's sister is suitable. The family will groom her, but it's an engagement, and things can't be sure what will happen in the future. What if the Murong family changes their mind?"

The sixth uncle from the collateral branch had average talent and was a middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator. His daughter was named Leng Yan, a lively, cheerful, and pretty young girl.

Leng Huan touched the jade box. Although Murong Qin was arrogant, Murong Bao... Damn, Leng Huan had never seen him before, and this was the first time he had heard of the name.

She sighed softly. As a beneficiary of the system, she felt it was too much to ask Leng Yan to refuse.

The Blood Bodhi wasn't essential to her, but given her status, she couldn't simply say no.

“Uncle, I owe someone a favor before. Can I use this to repay it?” Leng Huan raised the box.

Leng Zhaohe: "How you use the resources I've given you is your own business."

"But cultivation is important, remember to cultivate diligently." After saying that, he left the hall.

There's still a large piece of moonstone lying in Leng Huan's ring, so it can't be said that he really gave her nothing at all.

Back in the courtyard, Leng Huan summoned Dong Xue. Now, the two of them spend all their time cultivating, leaving the chores to the other maids.

"Young Miss, I've arrived."

Hearing the sound, Leng Huan looked up at Dong Xue. She and Qiu Yue both had mixed spiritual roots and had cultivated to the late stage of Qi Refining in the past few years.

Leng Huan returned from Baiquan Bay half a year ago and gave all the resources he didn't need to the two of them. They have been cultivating diligently lately.

"Dongxue, take me to find Leng Yan. Which courtyard is she in again?"

"In the West Garden, the Green Bamboo Garden."

This leads to the conclusion that the actual number of members of the Leng family is not large. The collateral branches are in the West Garden, while the main branch is in the East Garden. Moreover, the Xue family practices monogamy, with no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and there are no overly complicated interpersonal relationships.

The garden is very large and quite far apart. Even walking normally, with all the twists and turns, from east to west, it would take at least... half an hour.

Because there's a large garden in the middle! There's also a martial arts training ground and a small lake!

However, it was quite a coincidence that Leng Huan ran into Leng Yan when he arrived at the martial arts arena. She was practicing her spiritual skills in front of the lake.

Her talent was ordinary; her Qi Refining stage strength was only enough to barely push up a wall of water.

For disciples at this stage, the goal is not to pursue immense power, but at least to master water magic to a high degree.

The disciples watching nearby quickly dodged away.

"Oh! It's Fifth Miss, get out of the way!"

"Oh no, it's Miss Fifth again!"

Ok……

Slightly inexperienced, Leng Yan only lasted a moment before the water wall collapsed and crashed into the pool. Before she could dodge, she was covered in water.

Fortunately, the lake water had been cleaned and was very clean, so I treated it like washing my face.

The nearby lotus flowers had their petals knocked off, scattering them all over the pond. She wiped her face and turned her head, only to see Leng Huan, who had arrived at some unknown time.

Leng Yan was embarrassed: "...Big sister! What are you doing here?!"
