Chapter 228 A Gathering of Heroes
Xue Rendong almost got into a fight with him.
Xue Shi leaped to the side and greeted everyone, “Friends, come sit at my Xiaoxiang Pavilion. It’s very lively there. Many people have already come, all of whom you know, such as Xia Changfeng and Si Wuxie.”
They secretly altered the Book of Yin and Yang, and while at the Judge's Temple, they lost their footing and plummeted vertically into the eighteen levels of hell, landing in the last level, the territory of the Ten Kings of Hell, where they were caught red-handed.
Xue Rendong wondered, how did these two end up together? He remembered hearing someone say that Si Wuxie was completely open and honest with Xia Changfeng!
"For example, Yun Songhe and Si Wuyou."
Yun Songhe was swatted away by Xue Rendong's tail, and Xue Shi picked him up and took him back.
Si Wuyou was originally trapped inside the mural, but after the mural was destroyed, she escaped and happened to run into Xue Shi, who took her away with him.
Yun Songxuan and the Yunlan Sect disciples looked at each other in bewilderment. Whether it was Yun Songhe or Si Wuxie and his sister, they all had a great relationship with them.
"And a little girl...and a boy named 'Yuan Che'."
Upon hearing this, Mei Shiyu also looked over.
Although he was in a state of confusion, he still heard the name Yuan Che.
Li Tingyun was quite dissatisfied. What, was "Yuan Che" some kind of safe word? Why did he react to it so strongly?!
Xue Shichao specifically bowed to him and said, "There's also a hot-tempered dog that burned down half of my building... You're its owner, so you have to pay compensation."
Li Tingyun clicked his tongue: "Wangcai caused such trouble... how could he burn down half your building?! He was in the wrong."
Xue Shi said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to. How about this, you just pay a little less, as a token gesture."
"Why didn't he just burn down the entire Xiaoxiang Pavilion, kill everyone to silence them, and eliminate all traces of the inhabitants?!"
Li Tingyun said quietly, "Our enemies have actually come knocking on our door... This was handled terribly! I have to clean up the mess for them?"
When Mei Shiyu heard him say this, she wanted to pull him up, but she hesitated and put her hand down after reaching out.
Xue Shi stopped pretending and said, "I was just joking. We've known each other for over two hundred years, talking about money would hurt our friendship."
He saw that Mei Shiyu was clearly making a move and wanted to tease her a bit more, but for some reason, Mei Shiyu stopped bothering him, so he wisely gave up.
"I cordially invite you all to Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a chat. Would that be convenient?"
Even if it's inconvenient, I'll still go.
No one present had a reason not to go.
Even just going to see a play was quite a wonderful experience.
The first floor of Xiaoxiang Pavilion was extremely spacious and suitable for banquets. Usually, there was constant music and people coming and going. But when they went there, there was nothing there. There was only a huge square table in the center, with a dozen or so chairs around it, and a few people sitting in them.
A single lamp hung from the ceiling, with no other decorations and no candlesticks in the corners, making it appear quite dim.
Everyone, please take your seats.
As soon as Li Tingyun sat down, a little creature next to him jumped up and shouted, "I want to change seats!"
This is the voice of a very delicate, high-pitched girl.
It was Yuan Che.
He hasn't had his body switched back yet.
Yuan Che jumped back from his seat in surprise, and someone opposite him also jumped up in shock, pointing at him and asking, "Yue'er?! What are you doing here???"
It was Yunsongxuan.
Upon hearing this, Mei Shiyu immediately stood up. "What?! Brother Yun, who are you saying she is???"
Li Tingyun also stood up, glanced at Yuan Che who was standing there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning, and asked in surprise, "This is... Hua Yingyue?!"
The only true female lead in "The First Sword of Immortal Path" is currently only a child of about ten years old.
In the original text, Hua Yingyue went to study at the Dao Xuan Sect after she came of age. Wang Laoliu wrote that she was 16 years old at that time and had already grown into a stunning beauty, almost like a "fairy sister".
Girls change a lot as they grow up; she looks so young now that she's unrecognizable.
As soon as Li Tingyun stood up, Xue Rendong and Xia Changfeng stood up at the same time.
Xue Rendong was already uncomfortable sitting down.
The fish tail couldn't fit, and coincidentally, the person next to him was Yun Songhe.
Yun Songhe was terrified of his fishtail and cried out, "I...I...I want to change seats too!"
As soon as he called out, Si Wuxie, who was separated from Xue and Xia by the sound, looked over and exclaimed: "Damn it, old man, what are you doing here?!"
He was holding a fluffy snow fox in his arms, which was none other than Si Wuyou, who was curled up in a ball and sleeping in his arms.
A gathering of outstanding individuals.
The scene immediately descended into chaos.
Wangcai barked loudly and ran all over the place. The sounds of people and dogs barking mingled together, and for a moment, chickens and dogs flew about and there was complete chaos.
No matter how much Xue Shi shouted, no one paid any attention to him.
He suddenly regretted gathering all these people one by one.
"Shut the fuck up!"
Li Tingyun slammed his hand on the table, and the world became quiet again.
Wangcai obediently shut its mouth, crouched down and crawled under the table, squatting at its owner's feet, wagging its tail frantically.
Everyone sat down again.
This time, no one complained about changing seats.
As soon as Li Tingyun sat down, he wanted to cross his legs, but Mei Shiyu was to his right. In order to set a good example, he changed his usual arrogant and domineering attitude and sat up straight.
Mei Shiyu looked in his direction, but not at him; instead, she looked past him at Yuan Che, who had taken over Hua Yingyue's body.
Li Tingyun was displeased again, and asked with a stern face, "What exactly is going on?"
He didn't go with Wang Laoliu, but he ended up here and still has to have a meeting with a bunch of idiots.
Xue Shi did not sit down. Like an outsider, he slowly paced around the crowd. "This matter is actually quite simple."
“Hua Yingyue was personally sent to me by the Valley Master of Huachuan Valley. This girl was born with an unstable soul and may have a soul separation disease. Therefore, she comes to me every year. I have some knowledge of soul techniques, so I will take a look at her.”
Mei Shiyu asked, "Does she also suffer from 'soul separation'?"
Xue Shi said, "I'm afraid it might happen in the future, so we need to get treatment as soon as possible."
Li Tingyun asked Mei Shiyu, "What do you mean by 'also'? Besides her, do you know anyone else who is?"
Mei Shiyu turned the tables on him and asked, "Don't you know? Don't you remember... the Nightmare Girl from your past life?!"
Li Tingyun looked puzzled. "Remember what? Should I know this? Wang Laoliu didn't write this part in his book!"
Yun Songxuan slammed his fist on the table, “Yue’er comes to your underworld every year?! How come I knew nothing about this???”
Xue Shi said, "That's a question for Valley Master Hua. How could I possibly know about matters between you and your husband?"
The couple.
The four large characters stunned everyone from the Yunlan Sect.
Yun Songhe stared at his cousin in astonishment: "When did you... hook up with Hua Jingchen?! That 'Hua Yingyue,' could she be your daughter?! You have a wife and children, why didn't you tell the elders in the family???"
Yun Songxuan smiled wryly: "I...sigh, how am I supposed to say this..."
Hua Jingchen is the head of the family, and she makes all the decisions. In front of her, Yun Songxuan is just a little man who doesn't need to worry about much. Even when it comes to his own daughter, he is too lazy to discuss things with her as her father.
Hua Jingchen only said one sentence to him: "Whenever you decide to leave your family and elope with me, I will welcome you into my home with a grand procession. Once I marry you, you have to take care of the family and focus on taking care of my mother and daughter. You have to put aside all your outside affairs!"
Yun Songxuan actually really wanted to agree.
"My biggest wish in this life is to have a wife and children, a warm bed, and a family all together..."
Li Tingyun: They were all wiped out by me. In my past life, in a book.
How can it not be considered fulfilling a wish?
She couldn't help but glance at Mei Shiyu, only to see that his eyes were lowered and he couldn't hide his worries.
Noticing Li Tingyun's gaze, Mei Shiyu turned her face away and leaned to the side, sitting closest to him yet furthest away, as if she didn't want to have any contact with him at all.
Li Tingyun reflected: Okay, I won't play this kind of dark humor anymore, even if it's just in my heart, no one can hear it.
云松鹤摸着下巴说:“花镜尘啊……我从前还挺中意她,好几次登门造访,都被她轰了出来……这女人不好对付啊,我都打不过,你娶了她,不怕挨揍吗?”
Yun Songxuan angrily punched him, "You old lecher! Stay away from my wife, do you hear me?!"
Yun Songhe rubbed the bump on his head. "Hey! What are you getting so worked up about?! I was talking about the past, the past! I don't have any feelings for her anymore! Look at you, so pathetic. Brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes, you know? How could you fight with your own cousin for a woman? We're blood relatives, even if our bones are broken!"
Si Wuxie listened from the side, rolling her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
The white fox in his arms twitched its ears, and he continued to stroke its fur, almost without stopping for a moment, without complaining of getting tired.
Xia Changfeng sneered, "No wonder you're father and son, you two are so alike."
Si Wuxie scoffed: "I'm much more capable than him."
Xia Changfeng: "That's right. You're more ruthless than him."
Si Wuxie: "..."
