Chapter 211: Changyu, Do You Want To Know Who Your Parents Are?
On the front cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect, Ye Ping quickly walked over.
His eyes were full of curiosity as he looked at Su Changyu and the others.
He didn’t know what was happening and he was as curious as a cat.
“Second Senior Brother, what’s going on?”
As Ye Ping arrived, Xu Luochen couldn’t help but speak.
“Ye Ping, Lingrou is going down the mountain today, let’s send her down the mountain together. Then, come with me to take part in the alchemy assessment.”
Xu Luochen revealed his intentions.
“Alchemy assessment?”
At this moment, Ye Ping was somewhat curious but not because Chen Lingrou was going down the mountain.
He had heard about it before, but Ye Ping couldn’t help but be curious about the alchemy assessment.
“Second Senior Brother, do you still need to go through this assessment with your current alchemy techniques?”
Ye Ping knew about the alchemy assessment, but he felt that Xu Luochen was already very competent and didn’t have to attend such an assessment.
As soon as he heard that, Xu Luochen didn’t seem flustered at all, and on the contrary, he seemed to have long gotten ready.
He couldn’t help but say slowly, “Ye Ping, I’ve indeed reached the peak of alchemy, but I still feel that I have some shortcomings so I decided to restart and experience the life of an ordinary alchemy master.”
Xu Luochen seemed extremely natural but his answer was even more profound.
“I understand, Second Senior Brother, it’s no wonder that you’re a supreme alchemy master.”
As soon as he said that, Ye Ping naturally understood the logic of it.
At the end of the day, it was all about re-cultivation.
Hence, Ye Ping naturally admired him. Since ancient times, those who re-cultivated would have great willpower, wisdom, and boldness.
After all, making a cultivator who was already at the pinnacle re-cultivate was an expression of wisdom and boldness.
Although it was alchemy, Ye Ping had no choice but to accommodate and go along with Xu Luochen.
After seeing that Ye Ping had had an epiphany, Xu Luochen couldn’t help but continue.
“But, I plan to forget everything and take the examination using another method this time. Ordinary people might not be able to understand and I might even fail the assessment.”
“However, I’m still willing to give it a try and take it as opening up a different path as an alchemist. Regardless of failure or success, I’ve at least put in some effort.”
Xu Luochen’s voice was extremely calm, but it contained some melancholy as if he was not participating in the alchemy assessment for himself but for the world.
After Su Changyu and the others saw this scene, they couldn’t help but seem bewildered.
In particular, Su Changyu really did not expect Xu Luochen to have become so impressive after a period of time of not meeting each other.
‘It’s no wonder he’s my Junior Brother.’
On the other hand, Wang Zhuoyu, Xue Zhuan, and Lin Bei couldn’t help but criticize Xu Luochen in their hearts as they felt that he was becoming more and more boastful like Su Changyu.
However, Chen Lingrou did not care about what Xu Luochen said. After all, she was very nervous now.
It was her first time going down the mountain. How could she not be nervous?
What if she encountered enemies?
What if she encountered trouble?
What if she encountered thugs who tried to rob and molest her?
All in all, going down the mountain was a terrifying thing in Chen Lingrou’s eyes.
“Okay, it’s getting late.”
“Junior Sister, let’s go down the mountain together.”
At this moment, Su Changyu’s voice sounded again. He had his back facing everyone and was dressed in a long blue cloud robe that made him seem extremely elegant.
The robe accentuated his handsome good looks and made him seem extremely eye-catching.
As Su Changyu spoke, the crowd followed him and left the Qingyun Dao Sect.
However, Ye Ping did not go down the mountain.
“Ye Ping, why aren’t you leaving?”
Xu Luochen was a little curious.
This time, he had his reasons for asking Ye Ping along as he kept teaching Ye Ping some strange alchemy techniques.
He couldn’t make it up every single time so he might as well make Ye Ping start from the basics. He could also lead by example.
Wasn’t simplifying the Great Dao wonderful?
However, he didn’t expect Ye Ping to not leave. That made him curious.
“Second Senior Brother, Master said that I’m about to face a huge calamity lately so I can’t go down the mountain for no reason.”
Ye Ping actually wanted to leave with Xu Luochen.
However, when he thought of Daoist Tai Hua’s instructions, Ye Ping felt that it was inappropriate to leave.
Xu Luochen couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief as he thought that it was something serious.
“No worries, Sect Leader’s divination has always been the opposite of the truth. Since he said you’re about to face a huge calamity, it means that you’re about to have great fortune.”
“What do you guys say?”
Xu Luochen seemed extremely casual.
The first thought that came to everyone’s mind was that Xu Luochen made a lot of sense.
However, in the next moment, everyone saw Daoist Tai Hua.
After everyone saw Daoist Tai Hua, they couldn’t help but speak up.
“Second Senior Brother, what nonsense are you spouting?”
“Yes, Sect Leader’s divination has always been very accurate, what are you talking about?”
“Luochen, why are you smearing someone else?”
Wang Zhuoyu, Chen Lingrou, and Su Changyu spoke up one after another, and even Lin Bei shot him a glance to hint him.
Unfortunately, Xu Luochen didn’t catch what he meant, and instead, he thought that there was something wrong with them.
“What are you guys saying again? Master’s divination is lousy and it’s the opposite of the truth. When has he ever been accurate?”
“No way, are you guys going to be so shameless for the sake of becoming the next Sect Leader?”
“Ye Ping, there’s a rule of thumb in the Qingyun Dao Sect, and that is, Master’s words are the last thing you should trust.”
“And you, Lin Bei, why do you keep winking at me? If there’s something wrong with you, take some medicine.”
Xu Luochen was rather displeased.
‘I’m telling the truth. You guys are usually more aggressive than me, why are you putting the blame on me instead?’
Seeing that Xu Luochen was continuously making things worse for himself, everyone fell silent.
There was nothing to say. They couldn’t stop someone who was bent on getting himself in trouble.
Just as Xu Luochen was looking indignant, someone spoke up slowly.
“Luochen, I didn’t expect you to think so badly of me.”
Daoist Tai Hua’s voice seemed low and deep, and he had already arrived behind Xu Luochen.
His voice made Xu Luochen shudder.
He looked at everyone who naturally ignored Xu Luochen. Anyway, they had already said what they should and Xu Luochen was the one who was stubborn.
There was nothing they could do.
“Ye Ping, I was just babbling nonsense just now. Actually, I’m just jealous of Master’s talent and abilities.”
“You mustn’t take it seriously.”
“Master, can you listen to my explanation?”
Xu Luochen turned around and looked at Daoist Tai Hua with a strong desire to live.
“Master, leave it to us, don’t dirty your hands.”
“Ye Ping, go dig a hole in the ground.”
Wang Zhuoyu and Xue Zhuan spoke up too.
“Enough, stop this nonsense.”
What the crowd didn’t expect was that Daoist Tai Hua actually didn’t get angry and instead told everyone to stop fooling around.
Immediately afterwards, Daoist Tai Hua patted Xu Luochen on his shoulder.
“Luochen, when you go down the mountain this time, buy more ingots and candles if you don’t pass the alchemy assessment this time, do you understand?”
Daoist Tai Hua’s mirthless smile made Xu Luochen even more flustered.
He naturally understood the hidden meaning in his words and he was also aware that Daoist Tai Hua meant it.
However, Daoist Tai Hua came here this time specifically for Ye Ping.
“Ye Ping, I’ve already offset your calamity with my great fortune.”
“As they say, disasters often come with blessings. Now that you’re facing a greater disaster, you’ll gain a huge fortune too. Head down the mountain with your Senior Brothers, you might get a chance of creation.”
Daoist Tai Hua came over this time to give him those instructions.
As soon as he said that, Ye Ping was delighted but he soon seemed worried.
“Master, you offset the great calamity for me, does that mean that... you’re going to face danger soon too?”
Ye Ping was indeed very happy at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that his master had done a lot for him but he hadn’t done anything in return.
“Ye Ping, for the past half a year, I didn’t teach you anything or give you any gifts. This creation will be considered as a gift to welcome you as my disciple.”
“Besides, I’ve encountered more than one crisis in my life, so don’t worry about me and just seize the upcoming opportunity. Don’t let my efforts go in vain.”
Daoist Tai Hua seemed to be sacrificing himself for the greater good.
Ye Ping was extremely touched.
Su Changyu and the others had peculiar gazes in their eyes as they didn’t believe that nonsense.
He could fool Ye Ping with those words.
However, Su Changyu’s voice suddenly sounded at that moment.
“Okay, Master, it’s getting late, we have to get going. If we delay any longer, Lingrou is not going to make it to Baiyun Ancient City before the sky turns dark.”
Su Changyu interrupted Daoist Tai Hua’s boasting.
Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but nod. He knew that he had to stop. If they were to go down any later, Chen Lingrou would indeed have to sleep on the streets.
“Okay, you guys get going. Changyu, come back after you send Lingrou down the mountain, I have something to say to you.”
Daoist Tai Hua spoke up and told Su Changyu to come back early because he had something to say to him.
“Alright.”
Su Changyu also did not say anything more and simply left with the rest.
Since his misfortune had been offset, Ye Ping was naturally willing to follow Xu Luochen and leave.
In case he could learn something, he would be in for a huge earning.
Just like that, the crowd gradually left the Qingyun Dao Sect.
On the other hand, Daoist Tai Hua watched them leave quietly.
He fixed his gaze on Chen Lingrou for a while, followed by Ye Ping. In the end, he stared at Su Changyu.
At this moment, in the middle of the Qingyun Mountain Range.
Ye Ping spoke up, his voice disrupting the silence and peace.
“Ah, Eldest Senior Brother, I’m enlightened.”
In the mountain range, Ye Ping walked towards Su Changyu.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at Ye Ping.
In particular, Su Changyu had been repeatedly thinking about what the Sect Leader wanted to see him for.
Su Changyu froze in shock when he suddenly heard what Ye Ping said.
‘Huh?’
‘Comprehended?’
‘What have you comprehended again?’
‘Ye Ping, don’t spout nonsense.’
‘I really didn’t teach you anything this time.’
Su Changyu was confused.
‘What did you get enlightened about?’
However, Su Changyu was still very curious and wondered what Ye Ping’s enlightenment was about.
“Eldest Senior Brother, you asked me to put down the sword and pick it up again because you want me to put down my obsessions and pick up the sword of supreme will.”
“I was too dense at first and failed to comprehend what you meant, but fortunately, I had an epiphany at the critical moment. Now, I have condensed the supreme sword intent.”
Ye Ping looked slightly modest when he spoke.
Su Changyu was speechless.
Xu Luochen was at a loss for words.
Wang Zhuoyu was confused too.
Everyone was dumbfounded. ‘You could comprehend the supreme sword intent with that?’
Su Changyu, in particular.
He told Ye Ping to pick up and put down the sword repeatedly, purely for the sake of making Ye Ping spend his time comprehending it.
He just wanted to tell Ye Ping that cultivators had to scare their enemies just by picking up their swords and putting them down. Hence, Ye Ping had to quickly condense the sword intent.
However, he didn’t expect Ye Ping to comprehend the obsession.
‘Ye Ping, you’re forever so godly.’
“Yes, it’s not too bad. After you return, I’ll impart you the Sword Dao.”
Su Changyu didn’t have much to say. He had already gotten used to it.
“Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother.”
Ye Ping was overjoyed because he was going down the mountain this time to chaperon Xu Luochen. He wouldn’t go elsewhere so it shouldn’t be long before he returned to the sect.
Hence, Ye Ping was overjoyed.
Five minutes later, Su Changyu walked Chen Lingrou to the foot of the mountain and then turned around to leave.
He had other things to handle so he had to leave.
Wang Zhuoyu would return after sending her to Baiyun Ancient City too.
As for Xue Zhuan and Lin Bei, they would send her to Qingchang Ancient City before returning.
After all, it was her first time going down the mountain so it had to be grand. Well, she was the only junior sister in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
After Su Changyu left, everyone walked towards Baiyun Ancient City.
Another five minutes passed.
Su Changyu returned.
On the other hand, Daoist Tai Hua, who had been waiting for him on the mountain, seemed extremely serious to Su Changyu.
“Greetings, Master.”
Su Changyu looked at Daoist Tai Hua with curiosity in his eyes.
“Changyu, you come with me.”
Daoist Tai Hua didn’t say anything and walked directly towards the main hall.
After a while, Su Changyu entered the main hall.
“Master, what exactly is the matter?”
Su Changyu looked at Daoist Tai Hua with great curiosity, wondering what exactly he wanted to say.
Inside the main hall, Daoist Tai Hua was silent and hesitant to speak.
After a while, he finally sighed and slowly spoke.
“Changyu, I don’t know whether I should say it or not.”
Daoist Tai Hua appeared somewhat hesitant.
“Master, just tell me straight if there’s something.”
“How many bonds have you bought again?”
After hearing Su Changyu’s words, Daoist Tai Hua was upset.
‘Why did you bring that up again?’
“It’s not about that.”
Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.
“What exactly is the matter? Master, why do you like keeping me in suspense too?”
Su Changyu was a little confused about what Daoist Tai Hua meant.
At this moment, Daoist Tai Hua spoke again.
“Changyu, do you... want to know about your biological parents?”
Daoist Tai Hua asked.
His words were like a thunderstorm that exploded in Su Changyu’s mind.
However, Su Changyu seemed extremely calm on the surface.
After a while, Su Changyu slowly spoke.
“Master, how many taels of silver do you owe others?”
Su Changyu asked solemnly with a serious gaze.
