for Advance Chapter
All these things were the first time that Xiao Xiyue used her soul to investigate the mundane life, but she saw scenes that made her silent for a long time.
They behave differently in front of others and behind their backs. Except for the children who are as innocent and cute as ever, everyone else has some little secrets.
Just like she tolerated the rude behavior of the old servant, just to let the old servant stir up her inner emotions and then practice the heart method.
But... something is missing.
Xiao Xiyue was like a ghost wandering in the sky, slowly moving forward in Sanmu Town.
Suddenly, she saw a very familiar person.
Xiao Yuan.
He was sitting in a restaurant by the river drinking alone, and not far away from him, the Ninth Princess was biting her lip and looking at him. The Xuanyuan royal princess, who had a noble and elegant temperament, seemed to have a myriad of thoughts on her face at this moment.
Xiao Xiyue stopped and looked at the two of them quietly.
The Ninth Princess disguised herself and looked like an ordinary girl.
In fact, her conflicted look was exactly the same as that of an ordinary girl.
"Xiao Yuan!"
As if she had made a decision, the Ninth Princess' expression returned to normal. She walked over with light steps and greeted Xiao Yuan.
"Princess."
"Don't."
The Ninth Princess raised a finger to stop him and said with a smile, "Like you, I'm out here to relax. Just call me... Mingzhu."
"We've only known each other for two months, so just call each other friends."
Xuanyuan Mingzhu quickly added another sentence.
But anyone could see that a faint blush of shyness appeared on her pretty face.
Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and sat back down, saying in a bitter voice, "Mingzhu, please sit down."
"Since we are friends, why bother asking again?"
Xuanyuan Mingzhu sat opposite him with a smile on her lips. Without a maid to accompany her, she could only pick up the wine pot on the table and pour herself a bowl of wine, saying:
"You seem to be troubled by something? Can you talk to me, your friend? Come, I'll drink with you!"
"…"
Xiao Xiyue stood not far away from the two of them, neither getting closer nor moving away.
She stared at Brother Yuan for a long time and found that he had matured a bit compared to a month ago. There was a hint of sadness between his brows, but with the company of the Ninth Princess, he slowly relaxed. The two of them sat by the river and drank, watching the river slowly flow, reflecting the lights of the town in the distance.
Xiao Xiyue left here.
…
Three days later, after a long discussion with other sects, the five major immortal sects finally decided on a distribution plan and sent out several Dao Yun realm masters to open the cave left by the immortal.
The immortal treasure land has a barrier with a small cave inside. After entering, you will be teleported to a random place, which seems to be a trial place left by the immortals to select successors.
The excited crowd began to explore it, and many fights broke out to grab the treasures.
Xiao Xiyue didn't look for them intentionally, but still ran into Xiao Yuan and the Ninth Princess.
The three of them looked at each other in silence. Although Xiao Xiyue always looked aloof, Xiao Yuan and the Ninth Princess felt a little awkward for some reason, as if they had done something bad and were caught by her.
"Xiyue, can I, can I talk to you alone?"
Xiao Yuan finally couldn't stand the silent atmosphere anymore and took the initiative to speak.
He did not ask for the Ninth Princess's opinion, and the latter did not seem to object. She just smiled and said, "I'll wait for you here."
Xiao Xiyue followed Xiao Yuan's pace, and the two walked slowly in this small paradise, but their mood was completely different from when they were in Xianyun Sect before.
"Sister Xiyue!"
Xiao Yuan shouted, mustering up the courage to look at her.
After a long while, Xiao Xiyue nodded slightly: "Well, Brother Yuan, have you been okay recently?"
"Xiyue..."
Looking at her, Xiao Yuan couldn't help himself. He stepped forward and hugged her in his arms, murmuring, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have fallen in love with others, Sister Xiyue, I, I..."
Xiao Xiyue did not refuse the hug.
The two sat down on a piece of grass, and from Xiao Yuan's narration, Xiao Xiyue learned about what had happened to him recently.
A month ago, Xiao Yuan was able to leave the Ninth Princess because of Xiao Xiyue's personal intervention.
However, the fact that he inexplicably advanced from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Spirit Embryo Realm in a short period of time was secretly noted by many people at the ceremony that day.
After Xiao Yuan left the Ninth Princess, he was soon ambushed. He fought back hard, fighting and fleeing, and escaped more than a thousand miles in one night, but was still caught up by someone.
But just when he thought he was going to be captured by the enemy, the Soul Bright Realm master beside the Ninth Princess appeared and rescued him.
Xiao Yuan survived the ordeal, but he was furious. After returning to the Ninth Princess, he questioned her directly:
"Did you arrange this?!"
"Do you think I sent someone to hunt you down? You, Xiao Yuan, are so proud of yourself, and you even received the attention of Fairy Xiyue at the Nine Drunken Swords Ceremony. Do you think others won't investigate your background? With your foolish behavior, how many days can you survive after leaving my protection?"
Xiao Yuan was speechless. He couldn't explain that his sudden increase in strength was due to the general under the command of Emperor Qiming. Once he said it, he would only be hunted down by more people.
Therefore, he could only continue to stay with the Ninth Princess and wait to break through to the divine realm before leaving.
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Princess was suddenly assassinated. Several masters from the Six Paths Sect, together with the Buyi Knife that day, and several mysterious people attacked her flying boat. Xiao Yuan and the Ninth Princess were forced to land. After joining forces to repel the Buyi Knife who was chasing them, they escaped into the mountains.
When they came out again a few days later, the two who had experienced life and death had already fallen in love with each other...
"You, like her?" Xiao Xiyue asked directly with clear eyes.
Such a direct question made Xiao Yuan stunned for a moment, and then he showed a helpless expression.
However, this is his sister Xiyue, who asks whatever is on her mind and can't hide anything.
"I only like you, Xiyue!"
Xiao Yuan looked into her clear eyes with bold and fiery eyes, but for some reason, he felt a little guilty.
No, he shouldn't feel guilty. He and the Ninth Princess were just friends. Even though they had spent several days and nights together when they fled into the mountains and could trust each other, Xiao Yuan still loved Xiyue more than the Ninth Princess.
"...Brother Yuan."
Xiao Xiyue's voice was soft and gentle, "Would you like to follow me back to Xianyun Sect?"
Xiao Yuan could only smile bitterly, "Sister Xiyue, why are you bringing this up again? Okay, I promise you, as soon as I break through to the Divine Realm, I will go to the Xianyun Sect again and formally ask your master for marriage!"
The departure of the gods is the starting point of the three realms of Tao. Those who can enter this realm are already considered to be influential figures in the mortal world, and marrying any woman is not considered marrying above their station.
Xiao Xiyue was silent for a long time, shook her head, stood up and left, leaving him with only one sentence: "Brother Yuan, if you like, you can pursue the Ninth Princess."
"Ah? Sister Xiyue, what do you mean? Xiyue?"
She has gone far away.
Xiao Yuan stood there feeling lost, as if he had missed something again. No, that shouldn't be the case. He was sure that his sister Xiyue had not fallen in love with anyone else.
But why did you tell him to pursue someone else?
Could it be that... Sister Xiyue is willing to marry with the Ninth Princess... No, no, no, this is impossible!
It's good to have beautiful women, but... you also need strength.
Xiao Yuan fantasized for a moment and couldn't help but let out a happy silly smile. He was now becoming more and more proficient in mastering the things left behind by General Xianhe. At this moment, he could fight against the top figures in the Spirit Embryo Realm without losing, but he felt that he had not reached his limit yet.
If I could truly reach the pinnacle of the mortal world, I could marry two people simultaneously in the future...
Just thinking about it gives me great motivation to practice.
…
The small cave left by the immortal in Sanmu Town was as big as a county, but even so, it could not stop the exploration of the five sects and a group of second- and third-rate immortals. Soon everyone gathered under a high mountain and looked up at the top of the mountain.
The real treasure should have been left there by the immortal.
However, despite countless attempts, they still could not reach the top of the mountain. They were always repelled out by a huge and gentle force when they were halfway up. Based on the analysis of the Daoyun Realm masters and the stone tablet at the foot of the mountain, everyone speculated that the treasures here were left for the true heirs of the immortals.
Maybe he is his descendant, or maybe he is someone designated by a future immortal in the upper realm.
Also, because no one knew whether the immortals of Sanmu Town were dead or not in the fairyland, they did not dare to use the immortal magic weapons to forcibly climb the mountain. They could only pay homage and express their gratitude before leaving.
Many sects have accepted some disciples with marginally decent spiritual roots in Sanmu Town, to see if they can reach the top of the mountain and take away the treasures in the future.
It can also be considered as repaying the immortal.
What no one saw was that when Xiao Yuan and the Ninth Princess saw the monument at the foot of the mountain, they already knew who the immortal was.
There are several large characters clearly written on the stone tablet:
A gift from Fairy Mingguang to future generations.
