Chapter 1849: Chapter 1869: Treat him well, keep him! _1

"With Uncle Dugu’s words, I feel reassured."

Yao Xuanji smiled in response, his gaze settling on Dugu Si’s face, and said: "It’s all in the past, Brother Dugu, don’t take it to heart. After all, I was the one who first befriended her and I was the one who always invited her to join us. I can only say that I was careless in choosing my friends, I not only harmed myself, but also involved Brother Dugu!"

Dugu Si looked at Yao Xuanji, whose open and generous smile, complex feelings welled inside him.

He and Yao Xuanji were typical childhood sweethearts. Both had quite a fondness for each other, and without any accidents, he and Yao Xuanji would certainly end up together. Even if they weren’t passionately in love, they cared for and understood each other, living happily was an inevitable outcome.

All of this was ruined by that woman.

If Wei Jiao alone had harmed Yao Xuanji, that would be relatively easy to deal with, he would devote his full efforts to helping Yao Xuanji seek revenge. But in reality, he was kept in the dark and ended up marrying Wei Jiao, the real culprit, and even had a child with her!

Over the past ten thousand years, Wei Jiao has used all means in the North Xuan Sect to win over a large number of the sect’s followers. As a result, when the incident happened, at least one third of the people followed her, betraying the North Xuan Sect, causing a great loss of strength to the North Xuan Sect.

Dugu Si, acclaimed as one of the Three Outstanding Talents of the Beixuan Sect in his youth, was second to none in popularity and had now become a top powerhouse, but he was severely affected by this affair.

He became the sinner of the North Xuan Sect!

He was even more ashamed to see Uncle Yao, who was so proud and affectionate towards him!

More importantly, if Wei Jiao stood before him now, could he kill her without hesitation in order to avenge Yao Xuanji?

Killing the mother of his own child?

Even if he didn’t love her, could he really do it?

It was this question weighed heavily on his heart, tormenting him constantly, making him feel increasingly guilty and powerless. This wasn’t something that strength alone could resolve.

The more magnanimous Yao Xuanji was towards her, the more ashamed and distressed he felt.

"I’m sorry, I don’t know what I can do to make up for the harm I’ve done to you, but I can give you my life. As my father said, if anyone wants to hurt you, they’ll have to step over my corpse!"

Yao Xuanji held no grudge against Dugu Si. After all, he was also a victim in Wei Jiao’s calculation.

Dugu Si had never intended to harm him from the beginning. On the contrary, when he ran into trouble, Dugu Si went through a lot of troubles to find him.

"Brother Dugu, there’s no need to feel this way. As Lin Chen said, we just have to do our best. Even if the outcome isn’t favorable, we’ll keep our strength intact and there will always be a day when we can take everything back. If we die, we won’t have anything left."

Dugu Si nodded in silence, while Dugu Potian quietly asked, "Lin Chen is the Human Emperor from the Barbarian Realm who saved you from the forbidden land, right?"

Father and son Dugu Potian visited the Immortal Palace once before, to show their remorse. They inquired about the incident involving Yao Xuanji and became aware of Lin Chen’s existence. But they were not aware of the subsequent events.

Yao Xuanji smiled and confirmed, "Yes, not only did he save me in the Barren Wilderness, but he also saved me when I was ambushed by Wei Jiao’s troops. Prior to the destruction of the Southern Branch of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, he was the deputy leader. It was he who infiltrated the branch and launched a successful attack. Now he’s off to the Dragon Spirit Continent to single-handedly thwart the joint plan of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Dragon Clan..."

Dugu Potian widened his eyes and exclaimed in shock, "His cultivation must not be high, right?"

Yao Xuanji smiled, taking pride from her heart in his accomplishment: "He has only ascended to the Immortal Domain for a decade or so and is already a late-stage True Immortal, presently in closed-door cultivation aiming for the peak of True Immortal."

Dugu Potian and Dugu Si looked shocked. Although Dugu Si, as one of the Three Outstanding Talents of the North Xuan Sect, possessed superior talent, he was also not bold enough to claim he could advance so much in just a few years.

"His talent is too high, it’s downright demonic!"

Yao Xuanji shook her head, "His talent is actually average. His body is filled with Sword Bones, which is a Pseudo Sword Spirit Body. He owns the Heavenly Phenomenon, but he has no Innate Dao Body... Every step he takes in his growth is the result of various great dangers he faced and the opportunities he gained."

Dugu Potian, surprised, asked, "No Innate Dao Body, but has Heavenly Phenomenon?"

Yao Xuanji explained, "It was an anomaly seed which was extracted from one with an Innate Dao Body by a great power, and then planted into him. I heard the success rate was quite low, but he succeeded in the end."

Dugu Potian was astonished, what kind of great power would possess such immortal abilities?

"It seems that he may not be one with innate talent, but he possesses great Destiny. His achievements are great at such a young age, his future is limitless. Such a person, my niece, you must treat...treat him well, keep him in the Immortal Palace!"

Dugu Potian originally wanted to say win over, but hesitated for a moment and changed it to treat well.

From Yao Xuanji’s tone, he could tell that Yao Xuanji had absolute gratitude and trust in him, and she was even proud of the things he had done.

Yao Xuanji gave a slight smile: "We are friends, but to be honest, even though I’m the Master of the Immortal Palace now, he has always been helping me. I haven’t done much for him yet, I can’t even offer some Immortal Medicines for his cultivation, he has to search for them himself..."
