Chapter 653: Chapter 313: Saintess’s Husband

The next day.

A grand and sorrowful funeral was held in Qinghe City.

Li Qinghe, the patriarch of the Li Family, who was deeply loved by the townspeople, was buried in a picturesque forest outside Qinghe City.

Her husband, Cheng Yu, remained in seclusion and did not appear.

Their daughter, Cheng Qingyu, presided over the funeral and thanked the guests from all sides after the ceremony ended.

Subsequently, the representatives of various sects also left Qinghe City one after another.

Six months later would be the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, and everyone was busy returning to their sects to train, striving to enter the top three and gain the chance to ascend to the Immortal Flying Pavilion.

At this time, outside Qinghe City.

"Junior Sister Su, shall I go with you to Zhenyang Sect?"

Su Xin, Tantai Mingyue, Wei Wan, Xu Caihe, and Zhou Ling’Er were preparing to return to Zhenyang Sect when Ming Hu caught up with them from behind, his rugged face flushed red, stammering as he spoke to Su Xin.

"Senior Brother Ming, you belong to the Thunder Sword Sect, how could you return with me to Zhenyang Sect?"

Seeing his silly look, Su Xin couldn’t help but laugh, stunning in her brightness like the bright moon, making Ming Hu dazzled and dumbfounded.

Tantai Mingyue frowned slightly: "Junior Ming, what are you doing?"

Ming Hu snapped out of his daze and asked Su Xin with a strange expression: "Junior Sister Su, didn’t you tell your master? I’m pursuing you."

Tantai Mingyue’s expression grew more unsightly. Su Xin’s cheeks flushed, and she glared at him:

"You... you are so forward! Master, let’s go!"

With that, she pulled Tantai Mingyue and rose into the air with sword control. Ming Hu wanted to chase after them but was stopped by Su Xin’s sharp call:

"Don’t follow us!"

"Oh..."

Ming Hu had no choice but to agree, standing in place with a face full of resentment, watching Su Xin’s figure receding into the distance.

Wei Wan said: "Senior Brother Ming, Sister Su is shy, you need to proceed gradually, don’t rush."

Ming Hu pondered for a moment and suddenly realized: "Thank you, Junior Sister Wei, for the advice. If my master bothers you again, I will certainly help you drive him away!"

Wei Wan looked him up and down, shaking her head: "Your master really has accepted a very dutiful disciple."

"Haha, I think so too." Ming Hu laughed heartily.

Then Wei Wan took Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er, also rising into the air with sword control, flying towards Zhenyang Sect.

Zhou Ling’Er curiously asked: "Senior Sister Wei, where are Senior Brother He and Junior Sister Ruo?"

Wei Wan replied: "Junior Sister Ruo said they have things to do and will return to Zhenyang Sect later."

Xu Caihe clicked her tongue: "Is it really so free for them to come and go?"

After all, with Deputy Sect Leader Tantai Mingyue present, He Zhiqiu and Ruo Mei were so disregarding of the sect leader, going wherever they wished; it seemed a bit too impudent.

Wei Wan chuckled softly, suddenly asking: "I heard that you two have been training with Junior Brother He and the others during this time?"

Both were taken aback: "Senior Sister Wei, how do you know?"

"Could it be that you’re also part of their group?"

"Once we return, I also plan to train with them, so please take care, Junior Sisters."

"Ah?"

...

Yunling Town.

Qinhe Garden.

"Uncle, the flow of spiritual power here is somewhat unclear to me, Uncle?"

By the lotus pond, Liu Xiaotang sat cross-legged on the grass, cultivating. Encountering a difficulty, she turned to Xue Wen beside her for advice, only to find him staring blankly at the sky, lost in thought.

Liu Xiaotang seemed accustomed to this, called out again, and Xue Wen finally snapped back to reality, continuing to instruct her.

During this time, Liu Xiaotang had been cultivating the cultivation technique that Qiu Zhihe instilled in her mind that day.

However, her time practicing was too short, and she was still at the threshold of Qi Cultivation.

Meanwhile, Xue Wen spent his days in a daze, looking constantly absent-minded.

"Uncle, do you like my master?"

Liu Xiaotang suddenly asked Xue Wen.

Xue Wen was startled and immediately waved his hand: "The Saintess is the most sacred woman in my heart; how could I have such indecent thoughts about her?"

Liu Xiaotang agreed: "I also think Master is the most beautiful and best woman in the world, and no man is worthy of her!"

"Exactly!" Xue Wen clapped his hands, then turned dejectedly.

The pure Saintess already had a husband, and they were so close.

The place where I live now was once their love nest, and even the bed I sleep on daily is the one the Saintess and that scoundrel of a man once shared.

I wonder what they did on that bed.

No, the Saintess is so aloof and flawless; they must have only sat together and cultivated at most.

Yes, it must be like that!

"Uncle?"

Liu Xiaotang saw Xue Wen zoning out again and had to call out to him once more.

At this moment, a group of people walked in from outside, and Xue Wen was instantly overjoyed:

"Brother, what brings you here?"

The newcomers were disciples from the Cyan Lotus Sect led by Xue Wu, who smiled and said:

"Brother, we received instructions from the Saintess to come here and join you. The Saintess will be here soon too."

"The Saintess is coming?!"

"Master is coming?!"

Xue Wen was overjoyed, and Liu Xiaotang was also delighted, inadvertently clutching each other’s hands.

"That’s wonderful!"

Xue Wu was somewhat stunned and pointed at Liu Xiaotang: "Brother, is this... sister-in-law?"

Xue Wu said this not to tease, but simply because he had never seen Xue Wen be so familiar with any woman other than the Saintess.

Could it be that my brother married during his time in Yunling Town?

But this sister-in-law looks too young!

Liu Xiaotang’s cheeks turned red, and she quickly withdrew her hand: "Uncle, you misunderstand. I am the disciple of the Saintess."

Xue Wen hastily explained, and Xue Wu then understood: "So you’re a junior niece, haha, with the Saintess returning to the South Demon, she even accepted a disciple. It seems the revival of Cyan Lotus Sect is hopeful!"

"It appears you all get along well."

Suddenly, a clear, cold voice sounded from behind the crowd.

Xue Wen was overjoyed and quickly turned around, indeed seeing a petite figure, taking a big step forward and kneeling on one knee:

"Greetings, Saintess!"

Xue Wu and the others also saluted: "Greetings, Saintess!"

"Greetings, Master!"

Liu Xiaotang ran up, kneeling on both knees, and kowtowing heavily.

Qiu Zhihe said calmly: "No need for that, all of you, stand up."

"Yes!"

Xue Wen stood up, gazing at the peerless beauty right in front of him.

Even though the Saintess had changed her appearance to that of "Qiu Zhihe," she remained so beautiful, so cold; she was still the most sacred fairy in his heart.

This face, even if looked at for ten thousand years, would still be insufficient.

Qiu Zhihe said to everyone: "Later, I will introduce someone to you. Remember, do not call me Saintess in front of him; just call me Qiu Zhihe."

Everyone was puzzled but still respectfully complied.

Only Xue Wu’s face showed a hint of stiffness, could it be...

At that moment, a loud cry sounded from the sky, and a phoenix bird beast spread its wings and flew over, circling around in the air before finally landing in Qinhe Garden.

"Is that the Phoenix Bird Beast?"

"There’s even a man sitting on top!"

"This man... how bold, to dare be so familiar with the Saint... Junior Sister Qiu!"

The disciples of Cyan Lotus Sect watched as the Phoenix Bird Beast landed, then the man sitting on it came to the Saintess’s side, naturally holding her hand.

Immediately, the crowd became furious, all reprimanding.

Then they saw Qiu Zhihe naturally lean on the man’s shoulder, the sacred and aloof Saintess instantly transformed into a demure and gentle companion, saying to them:

"This is my husband, Qin Gengyun."
