Chapter 390: Chapter 389: Fafeng’s Good Show

Xuanyuan You just mentioned it casually and didn’t really take it to heart. If he really cared, on the contrary, he wouldn’t have spoken about it.

But Xie Jiuniang took it in.

She understood very clearly what Lord Guangcheng meant. In the Cultivation World, it was common for friends to drift apart due to the great disparity in their cultivation bases. Take the present situation for instance, the gap in cultivation base between Xie Jiuniang and Xuanyuan You spanned an entire major rank, preventing them from even wishing to enter the same secret realm together.

Xie Jiuniang used to be indifferent when it came to making friends.

She had never intentionally sought anyone’s company.

Xuanyuan You counted as one of the few... fair-weather friends she had met since her rebirth?

Truly a heavy topic.

Suddenly, Xie Jiuniang laughed and said, "I think what your ancestor said was wrong. We’ve never been friends with common goals, but rather companions in eating, drinking, and merrymaking."

"How so?" Xuanyuan You’s eyes lit up.

Xie Jiuniang started her grand deception, "It’s easy to understand, isn’t it? Our interactions have nothing to do with cultivation. Who cares if someone’s cultivation base improves? When have we ever gathered for any serious business? It’s all about eating, drinking, and having fun, sometimes making a bit of pocket money together."

"So, what you’re saying is that my ancestor was wrong and you won’t stop considering me a friend?"

"No, I won’t."

"That’s great, finally I don’t have to try hard anymore..." Xuanyuan You slumped down next to her, his posture quite relaxed and at ease.

Xie Jiuniang chuckled and said, "If your ancestor heard this, you’d be in big trouble."

What a couple of clowns.

Xie Jiuniang wasn’t concerned in the least.

With Lord Guangcheng watching over him, Xuanyuan You’s future cultivation base wouldn’t fall far behind. Only a fool would worry about him.

Xuanyuan You began to talk about some recent events and sect gossip.

Xie Jiuniang listened with interest.

This time there was some juicy gossip, like how True Person Gu Zheng’s concubine had been unfaithful again, getting caught in the act during a secret rendezvous with her lover.

True Person Gu Zheng was furious.

He stripped the concubine and her lover of their cultivation bases and expelled them from Tianxu Sect.

Xie Jiuniang asked, "Is it the one involved with Wu Tong last time...?"

"No, it isn’t."

Xuanyuan You winked and whispered to Xie Jiuniang, "Do you think, True Person Gu Zheng is... you know... incapable?"

"It’s possible," Xie Jiuniang analyzed reasonably, thinking the likelihood was high, "One affair could be an accident, but two is cause for reflection..."

"Cough cough cough!"

Xie Siniang coughed violently.

The two oddballs immediately turned to look at Xie Siniang, both eyes filled with confusion.

Xie Siniang’s face turned a slight shade of red from embarrassment, "Continue your conversation, pretend I’m not here."

Xuanyuan You actually shifted his gaze away and continued, "I heard that in a fit of rage, True Person Gu Zheng decided to venture into Dragon Gate Secret Realm in search of opportunities. You should know that the Dragon Gate Secret Realm is extremely dangerous; he’s literally risking his life over anger."

"I didn’t see him yesterday."

Xie Jiuniang had actually seen True Person Gu Zheng before, "Could it be that he applied later? A few people gave up their spots yesterday, freeing up some slots."

The Golden Core Secret Realm didn’t require competition.

The sect would distribute spots fairly, but those who had been once would not be eligible for a slot in the same secret realm the next time.

True Person Gu Zheng had reached Core Formation many years ago; it was surprising that he hadn’t used his slot for Dragon Gate Secret Realm.

Xuanyuan You got carried away talking, and then mysteriously said, "Fafeng’s senior brother, Lin Wangchen, suddenly returned to the sect, did you know that?"

"No idea, haven’t heard about it," Xie Siniang played along.

Xie Jiuniang feigned surprise, "Why did he come back all of a sudden? Wasn’t it said that his Spirit Root was destroyed and he was planning to return to his family?"

"I had that guess before."

Xuanyuan You said in a secretive tone, "I received a message, saying he caused trouble outside and returned to the sect to avoid disaster."

"Trouble? What kind of trouble?" Xie Siniang was shocked.

Xie Jiuniang also pretended to be curious, waiting for Xuanyuan You to continue.

Xuanyuan You intentionally piqued curiosity, "This matter starts with someone destroying the forbidden area of the Mo Family from the Medical Immortal Valley. It is said that a thief sneaked into the Mo Family’s restricted area and stole something unknown..."

There really wasn’t much to say about this matter.

It could be briefly explained in just a few words, but Xuanyuan You deliberately made it sound more thrilling. In his mouth, however, it became Lin Wangchen knowingly doomed in his path to immortality, sneaking into Medical Immortal Valley to steal rare and precious medicinal treasures, et cetera.

Great, even the motive for the crime was established!

The three of them sat for a while.

More people arrived, including Xie Xu and other family disciples, as well as Bai Mudan and Shi Qi, among others.

Xuanyuan You brought out the ingredients, and Xie Siniang took charge of the cooking.

Xie Jiuniang had gone to where Dashan was, taking away the fine Monkey Wine she had asked Dashan to brew earlier, and also bought some regular wine, which is usually used when everyone gathers for a meal.

The others helped out with various tasks. No one was idle.

Just as everyone was enjoying their conversation, Xuanyuan You received a Sound Transmission Talisman, and his entire body sprung up, "Little Profiteer, Little Profiteer! There’s drama at Fafeng, a big scene!"

"What?" asked Xie Jiuniang.

Xuanyuan You whispered, "The people from the Mo Family of Medical Immortal Valley have arrived..."

"Let’s go! Off to watch the good show!"

Xie Jiuniang tossed out the Broken Sword and flew toward Fafeng.

Xuanyuan You and the others hurried to follow, leaving their food behind, untouched.

Xie Jiuniang led the way and soon arrived at Fafeng.

There, a commotion had already begun.

A number of Mo Family powerhouses had come directly to Lin Wangchen, demanding that he return the item he had stolen from the Mo family.

The disturbance was significant enough to alarm even Lord Minhuang.

By the time Xie Jiuniang arrived, she saw a crowd gathered at Fafeng; among them, some were confronting each other.

On one side was Lord Minhuang and Lin Wangchen.

On the other, the people from Medical Immortal Valley.

She just so happened to hear an elder from the Mo Family say, "Lord Minhuang, our Mo Family is not unreasonable. Whether you admit it or not, just returning the item will suffice."

Lord Minhuang responded coolly, "Your words are illogical. My disciple says he has never been to Medical Immortal Valley, so where does the idea that he stole from you come from?"

"A junior of my family saw him with her own eyes."

Standing beside the Mo Family elder was a female cultivator.

The woman stepped forward, asserting confidently, "Lord, my junior Mo Shuzhu here, it was he who used my blood to break into our family’s secret realm. Before I fainted, I was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the thief’s face. It was indeed Lin Wangchen. There is no falsehood in my words today; I have not framed anyone on purpose."

Those with some experience could tell she was not lying.

The credibility was quite high.

Xie Jiuniang, hiding among the watching disciples, recognized at a glance that this Mo Shuzhu was indeed the female medical cultivator she had knocked out when she sneaked into the Mo Family.

In her previous life, Xie Jiuniang had never met Mo Shuzhu, but she had heard the name.

In the Eastern Region, she was quite a famous female medical cultivator. Said to be very talented, she was only slightly less so than Mo Chuan, a genius of the direct line of Medical Immortal Valley, known by the beautiful title of Medical Immortal.

Lord Minhuang was not someone who would believe just anyone’s words. Instead, he looked toward Lin Wangchen, waiting for his explanation.

The aura of refreshing breeze and bright moonlight that Lin Wangchen used to emanate had vanished. He appeared somewhat ill, and there was a touch of melancholy about him, "Master, on the day of the incident at the Mo Family, your disciple was in Yaoguang City. I have witnesses. It’s just that the Mo Family refuses to believe it and insists that my family is shielding me."

Then, Lin Wangchen added with a bitter smile, "Now, who doesn’t know that my path to immortality has already ended like this? I have long been neglected by my family, to say I’m a discarded child wouldn’t be an exaggeration, so where does this idea of being shielded come from?"

That was indeed the case.

The position of young master of the Lin Family had long since changed hands.

A once proud and promising individual cut off from the path of immortality was no secret.

An elder of the Mo Family retorted, "It is exactly because of this that you would resort to desperate measures, sneaking into Medical Immortal Valley to commit wrongdoing."

"It really wasn’t me," Lin Wangchen said helplessly.

The Mo Family elder exclaimed angrily, "Even now, you still will not admit it? Do you really think that we have no way to deal with you?"

As he spoke, he exerted a crushing pressure towards Lin Wangchen.
