Chapter 1750: The Coming Storm I

“Nan Xian…”

Feng Ruqing smiled gently and sweetly. She let go of Xia Xia’s hand and walked over to him.

“Recently, I always feel that Wu Shang City is quite messy. The previous spiritual qi storm in Wu Shang City has attracted too many people, and those spiritual energies still haven’t dissipated by now. I’m worried that someone will try to conquer Wu Shang City. We need to warn Grandfather.”

“Hmm.”

Nan Xian lowered his eyes. He smiled. “Qing’er, I’ll always protect you.”

Xia Xia stood obediently at the side, pouting, looking at Nan Xian blankly. Somehow she felt like… Her father was ignoring her existence.

“Father, hug me.”

She opened her arms and smiled brightly.

Only then did Nan Xian seem to notice her presence and glanced at her. “You’re too heavy.”

Xia Xia was stunned; she pouted pitifully and turned to look at Feng Ruqing.

“Nan Xian, don’t be too mean to her.” When Feng Ruqing saw such a pitiful little appearance, her heart felt like it had been hit, and she squatted down to pick her little girl up.

Nan Xian was speechless.

He felt that since his daughter’s birth, there was no place for him in Qing’er’s heart…

***

Nine Gate…

It was located on a high mountain to the north of the mainland.

Qiu Hui walked into Nine Gate hurriedly, without looking back.

Nine Gate… It was called Nine Gate because there were nine mountains surrounding it, and nine revered masters ran each mountain. They were usually devoted to cultivation, nothing else.

“Venerable Qiu Hui, you are back?”

A guard greeted her and said respectfully, “The other dignitaries are already waiting for you.”

Qiu Hui frowned, but she did not say much. Her heart beat faster as she stepped into the meeting hall.

***

Several other dignitaries were already sitting and waiting in the meeting hall, and when the door opened, everyone’s eyes fell upon Qiu Hui.

Qiu Hui was a little nervous. She frowned as she entered slowly.

“What did you call me back in such a hurry?”

“Qiu Hui…” The one who spoke was an old man in grey robes; his face was expressionless and cold. “Our Nine Gate is rarely involved with the outside world. But why didn’t you tell us about such a big thing that has happened?”

Qiu Hui’s eyes sank. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“How dare you say you don’t know about the spiritual qi storms in Wu Shang City? It’s been two years, and you haven’t come to tell us, and… We know you’ve stayed in General Manor of Wu Shang City this past two years.”

Qiu Hui smiled faintly. “These matters have nothing to do with our Nine Gate. Even though I was in Tian Ya’s manor, I don’t know why the spiritual qi storm happened. I can’t answer you even if you ask me.”

“Is that so?” The old man in grey robes smiled faintly. “Then why did someone come to tell me that you went to Tian Ya’s manor to deliver a baby for Tian Ya’s granddaughter? You, as the revered divine physician of Nine Gate, went to do the work of delivering a baby?”

Qiu Hui’s face was expressionless. “It’s not the first time that I delivered a baby, and what does it have to do with the spiritual qi storm?”
