Chapter 254: Chapter 224: Spousal Contest, Dregs Furnace Cauldron

"Even two youngsters couldn’t be defeated, how disgraceful. Ning’er has been led astray by him."

Gu Qingqiu had returned at some point.

He could tell at a glance exactly what sort of attack Su Wenhao had faced inside the secret chamber, and how miserably he had been defeated.

However, he didn’t feel pity at all.

Instead, he harbored deep resentment toward this brother-in-law.

He had just been to the peak to see his son’s injuries.

Gu Qingqiu was almost enraged enough to vomit blood.

That boy was utterly useless.

Was it just a defeat?

One would think it was a matter of life and death.

As a man, coveting beauty was not a severe flaw.

But bullying the weak was a bit wrong.

His son, on this account.

Couldn’t even bully properly... his judgment was terrible, mistaking a tigress for a little white rabbit.

He kicked an iron plate, played by the demoness Ye Xiaoqian of the Reincarnation Sect to the brink of life and death.

Then, he came back looking like this, practically dead.

Looking at his mentally deranged state, Gu Qingqiu found himself neither able to hit nor scold him.

He wondered why on earth he had fathered such a creature.

Feeling depressed,

his speech was also very unkind at the moment.

"Is there still a chance to save him?"

Although Su Lianxue was somewhat dissatisfied with this statement, the one in trouble was after all her own brother.

She couldn’t just ignore it.

Su Wenhao had lived a life of luxury over the years, with the aid of elixirs, painstakingly pushing his cultivation realm to the Eighth Stage Mortal Rank External Power Realm.

But his sword technique and movement technique were almost not worth mentioning.

He was the type that could easily be challenged by someone of a lower level, a pseudo-master.

It wasn’t apparent until something happened.

At home, he bullied his own sect’s disciples, strutted around, and nobody cared about him.

When real trouble arose.

He was utterly useless.

In fact, he knew he wasn’t very competent, and never took on Sect missions.

All he did was occasionally go to the Zangjing Pavilion to fulfill some minor duties...

Relying on his sister and brother-in-law’s power, no one dared speak ill of him to his face.

Now, such a person was missing.

It looked like his prospects were grim.

If she didn’t care about him, no one else would.

"It’s hardly necessary... There are two types of death Qi in the room; it’s almost certain that he’s had an accident.

Although I don’t know why those demon brats would want to move even the body... since he’s dead, there’s no need to risk searching for him."

Gu Qingqiu shook his head, he couldn’t go along with his wife’s stubbornness in this matter.

Outside, who knows how many heretics were watching them both.

If they were to go out searching, what if something else happened at home?

Seeing Su Lianxue’s unhappy expression, he softened his voice and continued, "The furnace for the Divine Origin Elixir is about to yield results after being refined for forty-nine days. We’re just seeing signs of success but now, people are eyeing it at this critical moment. We absolutely cannot afford to be negligent.

It concerns the Sect Leader’s injury; we must guard it without any mishaps."

"Sect Leader, it’s been ten years, huh."

Thinking about the ups and downs of these ten years, Su Lianxue also sighed deeply.

In the Sect, of the two True Martial Realm masters, one was healing while the other was in seclusion, completely ignoring outside affairs.

As a result, each Peak Master and all the disciples acted on their own, causing an unbearable mess.

If it had been during the Sect’s heyday, how could these evil heretics run amuck like this?

"What about the Supreme Elder? Has he not come out of seclusion yet?"

"Who knows? Ancestor Master Fan has always been elusive, appearing without showing his face. Even if he did appear right in front of us, we wouldn’t recognize him.

This time, Gu Qingqiu even started to sigh.

After thinking, he continued:

"Earlier, on Floating Cloud Peak, Junior Brother Zhao spotted traces of the Heartless Monk from the Brahma Heaven Sect. However, he was just speculating, uncertain whether that bald monk really sneaked up the mountain..."

"Those four from the Floating Cloud Lineage are still in a half-dead state, their Sect acts in such a way, truly unfilial," Su Lianxue said indignantly.

The two exchanged a look, feeling the instability of their situation.

"Junior Sister, let’s not talk about these thwarting matters. Those two Xinyuan disciples, let me teach them.

I’ve already assessed them; both are rare combat geniuses. Joining the Enforcement Hall will be just perfect," Gu Qingqiu turned his head, glancing at Zhou Ping’an and Lin Huaiyu, who were standing quietly among the outer disciples, waiting to be dealt with, and spoke urgently.

"Don’t even think about it. My Emerald Peak has finally come across such promising talents, and you, Peak Master of Radiant Sun, want to poach them? Dream on."

With the topic shifted, Su Lianxue also put aside whether to go search for her brother’s body.

She began to defend her turf.

"You don’t know, that girl Lin Huaiyu, just eighteen, has already mastered the Sword Pill.

Do you know how she did it? She actually built it up using the Tidal Breathing Technique, such comprehension, such accumulation, tsk tsk..."

She had just asked Steward Xu, and more or less understood the sequence of events from the day the two had arrived on the mountain.

"No need to tell me, I saw it long ago, Lin Huaiyu had not practiced the Blue Wave Heart Method.

Moreover, she achieved the Sword Pill within a single day...

Su Wenhao is really muddle-headed, teaching the techniques incompletely, not afraid at all of delaying the disciples’ innate talent and flair," Gu Qingqiu said irritably.

His judgment was also very sharp.

Just a glance was enough for him to discern the intensity of the Qi in Zhou Ping’an and Lin Huaiyu.

Moreover, when intercepting the young ones of the Demon Cult earlier, both had made a move. He had rushed over from afar and saw it too.

"How about this, let me take Zhou Ping’an."

He was slightly older, already twenty-two years old, and his speed in cultivating was not as fast as Lin Huaiyu’s...

But he was able to compete with Ye Xiaoqian’s Reincarnation Gang Qi even though his organs were not yet fully developed in terms of cultivation, and his understanding and application of techniques were even not inferior to yours or mine..."

Gu Qingqiu looked at Zhou Ping’an with a somewhat peculiar gaze.

He had seen many talented cultivators.

However, it was rare to see talents who were so exceptional in combat.

Every time such a person appeared, once their cultivation caught up, they would turn into a famous figure known across the world.

It must be known that Zhou Ping’an was battling against Ye Xiaoqian of the Reincarnation Sect, not some mediocre figures of second or third rate.

That demoness, though she made people grit their teeth in frustration, was indeed a rare genius within the Demonic Sect.

He was overcoming her in a higher level battle.

The value of such a deed need not be further expounded.

"There’s no need to talk much about this. You, as a Law Enforcement Elder, are too busy daily to have time to teach. How could you compare with me, a Transmission Elder, in teaching disciples?"

"Oh ho, you’re a formidable Transmission Elder, yet you haven’t managed to teach a true disciple either."

Gu Qingqiu was justified in saying this; his Radiant Sun Peak had produced a true disciple.

Although not necessarily all thanks to him, having produced one was a fact.

And what of Emerald Peak? Among those disciples, the best had only refined the Great Completion Cycle, not even breaking through to the Gang Qi Realm.

As for his own son, Gu Ning.

He was a prime example of negative teaching.

He appeared to discipline strictly, but in reality, how could parents genuinely be so strict?

In many matters, they simply turned a blind eye.

Even if they saw their own child cheating and wasting time, they only spoke of it, never truly enforcing repercussions.

Thus, he was spoiled...

Su Lianxue frowned, "Mr. Gu, are you asking for a fight with me, to see who really qualifies to teach those two?"

"You see, you’re getting impatient again? They’re just two disciples. Can’t I leave them for you?"

Gu Qingqiu scratched his head, being yelled at.

He said helplessly.

Looking at Zhou Ping’an and Lin Huaiyu, his eyes filled with even more regret.

Encountering such talented individuals in the world, yet not being able to teach them personally, he felt, was more distressing than losing ten thousand taels of gold.

Su Lianxue almost quarreled with her own husband, rolled up her sleeves and had a big fight, finally resulting in Gu Qingqiu conceding. Her mood improved significantly.

She quickly said in a gentle voice, "Huaiyu, come here, let your master check your foundation."

"Zhou Ping’an, come here too."

Though fiercely competitive about disciples, Su Lianxue still felt that Lin Huaiyu had much higher talent and thus looked at her differently.

First, after checking Lin Huaiyu’s Root Bone and probing her True Qi, she nearly couldn’t stop smiling.

This past year had been filled with too many upsetting events, like being plagued with misfortune.

It felt like a lump in her throat, too difficult to express.

Only now did she feel that her luck might not be so bad after all.

Having accepted such a disciple...

Could it be that her Emerald Peak might also produce a true disciple?

No.

No, it’s not just a possibility of producing a true disciple, but there’s a great confidence in it.

Only eighteen years old and already at the Mortal Rank Seventh Refinement, what exceptional talent is this?

Moreso, having just received the inheritance of the Sword of Canghai without anyone’s help, she relied on the Tidal Breathing Technique to independently achieve the Sword Pill.

The Sword Qi was full and fierce, a top-grade Sword Pill, truly unbelievable.

This was still with no guidance, a foundation laid in feral growth.

If from childhood she had a famous master instructing her, what level of achievement would she have by now?

She dared not think about it.

Su Lianxue genuinely dared not ponder further.

She feared her own gloating might attract the greedy eyes within the sect, competing to steal her disciple.

With this thought, she again glared heavily at Gu Qingqiu.

Shameless, he had already done so.

"Steward Xu, you mentioned earlier that Huaiyu came from the Guangyun Lin Family, and her father was just a steward known for his Hanyang Bleeding Sword. Why then, when my disciple registered, it was stated she came from the Qingyang Lin Family..."

Looking at Lin Huaiyu, Su Lianxue grew fonder the more she looked.

A matter came to mind.

She took the registration record from Steward Xu, glanced at it, and was somewhat stunned.

"I don’t know, how could someone not treasure such a clever, obedient daughter with exceptional talent like Lin Zhongguang? What was he thinking sending her to the remote, impoverished Qingyang City..."

"The situation is like this," Steward Xu spoke with some embarrassment, "Third Miss Lin isn’t favored by her father and two brothers, and was to be given to Fang Yu of Red Cloud Peak as a concubine.

As a result, she volunteered to go to Qingyang City, venturing into Black Mountain to seek the Seven-leaf Tithonia for alchemy..."

Steward Xu had thoroughly investigated the backgrounds of Zhou Ping’an and Lin Huaiyu.

He spoke as if reciting treasures from currency.

"Fang Yu."

Su Lianxue’s eyes narrowed.

She had heard of the conduct of Fang Yu, one of the nine True Disciples of the Cloud Water Sect.

"Indeed, that True Successor Fang. Recently, Fang Yu even dispatched his Sword Attendant to Qingyang City to capture Third Miss Lin, but he was unsuccessful,"

Steward Xu hastened to add.

While Gu Ning, as a Lesser Peak Master, could be indifferent and carefree,

as a steward, he had to be thorough and ensure everything was properly managed.

"Such audacity, to dare to offend my Emerald Peak,"

Upon hearing this, Su Lianxue burst into rage.

So close, so close, her precious disciple almost ended up as a mere sacrificial vessel in alchemy...

How outrageous.

...

Asking for a Monthly Pass.
