Chen Sansi added, "After I leave, claim that I am in seclusion. This lie will also need Brother to help sustain, and take good care of Yunxi and the two maids at home,"
he said, heading to the Cultivation World.
If the old Emperor were to find out, it would be a matter of life and death.
"I will arrange everything properly."
Fang Qingyun said, "Your wife's sister, the Empress of Qing Country, might have Spiritual Energy. You could ask her for some or borrow some. It's safer to go after entering the path."
In fact, Chen Sansi's family had it, but he hadn't had the chance to use it yet.
He went to the front courtyard, planning to spend time with his daughter since he was about to go on a long journey again.
"Daddy's going to close the doors and practice martial arts."
Chen Yunxi, holding a candied haw, was only half through it when she froze: "When will Daddy be done?"
Chen Sansi patted her head: "Recently, you should play more at your grandteacher's house. Haven't you said that the brothers and sisters here are nice, and your grand uncles like playing with you too?"
"Eh? Who bought you this candied haw?"
"The teacher bought it."
Chen Yunxi handed it over: "Daddy, do you want to eat?"
After checking that the candied haw was fine, Chen Sansi didn't refuse his daughter's kindness, took it, and tasted it. It had been many years since he had eaten such a thing, and it was quite delicious. He unconsciously ate five pieces in a row.
Chen Yunxi's eyes, watery, stared at him, somewhat stunned.
Chen Sansi, looking at the empty bamboo stick in his hand, awkwardly cleared his throat: "Eating too many sweets can rot your teeth, so daddy ate them for you."
A maid from the Governor Mansion came looking: "The teacher wants to test you, hurry over."
"Daddy, I'm going now, otherwise, I'll get spanked."
Chen Yunxi licked the frost off her small lips, then hurriedly went to find the maid.
It suddenly became empty.
Chen Sansi sat on a stone bench, fiddling with the bamboo stick, pondering the route of his journey and what else he could prepare.
With Spiritual Energy available, Sword Qi Skill would definitely work, then to learn the "Five Elements Decision" as an entry-level, and also the Xuanzhu...
Ever since returning from the Eastern Territory, the Mystical Energy inside the Xuanzhu had been constantly increasing, and quite rapidly. It wouldn't be long before it could return to the level of the "Jiuxiao Heavenly Soldiers Formation."
The formations in the Heavenly Book were originally used by Immortals. If both were combined, would the effect be even better?
A warm voice sounded at his ear.
Chen Sansi looked up to see a young man.
The man was dressed in a slightly faded and slightly whitened neat long robe, with an old sash tied around his waist with an old book hanging from it, and was wearing cloth shoes; while his attire seemed modest, he exuded an indescribable aura.
From his appearance, he looked just over twenty, but his eyes seemed to hold the vicissitudes of life and seas as he gently opened his mouth: "Young brother, are you preparing to seek out Immortals?"
Chen Sansi stood up and saluted: "May I know your esteemed name?"
"My surname is Mei, with a single character of Xiao."
Mr. Mei chatted casually: "Brother Chen, you might have heard my name."
Chen Sansi naturally remembered the name.
His fourth senior brother had mentioned it.
This was the very Immortal who had once guided his master!
He had unexpectedly appeared at the Governor Mansion, and in such an ordinary manner right before him.
"Are you an Immortal?"
Chen Sansi bowed: "Honored to meet the senior."
If this person was indeed his master's guide, it was proper to show respect.
"Rather than an Immortal, I prefer to be called 'teacher'."
Mei Xiao gestured for him to dispense with formalities: "I have no specific agenda, I just like to teach around."
The person Yunxi had mentioned several times.
"Thank you, Mr. Mei, for teaching my daughter."
Chen Sansi expressed his gratitude, while also somewhat guarded: "What brings Mr. Mei here?"
"Young brother, no need to be tense."
Mr. Mei invited him to sit down: "Just here to chat. Is the Xuanzhu useful?"
Chen Sansi remembered.
Liang Jinian had claimed publicly that the Xuanzhu and the Heavenly Book were gifts from an Immortal.
Could it be, this Mr. Mei before him?
Was this to take back what was given?
"The item is mine, but I didn't give it to Liang Jinian."
Mr. Mei seemed to see through his thoughts: "You need not return it, the item is for those fated to possess it. How much effect one can derive from it depends entirely on the individual."
Chen Sansi was even more puzzled, unaware of the "Immortal's" true purpose for this visit.
"Young brother, you must be very careful on your journey to the ends of the earth in search of Immortals."
Mei Xiao paused, then said: "Could I possibly borrow the Xuanzhu to use?"
Whether Chen Sansi trusted him or not, he had to hand it over.
This person was able to appear silently within the Governor Mansion, and right beside him, which spoke volumes.
His Qi Observation Skill could not see through this person.
Mr. Mei didn't take the Xuanzhu, but lightly touched it with his palm, and a surge of Qingxuan Energy flowed into it before returning to calm. He smiled lightly: "This item can resist all techniques, consider it a gift for our meeting. As for how and when to use it, young brother, you can slowly explore."
Able to resist all techniques?!
Chen Sansi didn't know if it was as he understood it.
Was that not a bit exaggerated?
And to just give it to him, why?
They were neither kin nor acquainted.
Because of his master?
"Well then, before I go, let me ask you one question, young brother."
Mr. Mei retracted his hand and slowly said: "Young brother, how do you interpret the word 'Immortal'?"
