The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 911: If It Were Me, I Would Have Been Killed On the Spot
Chapter 911: If It Were Me, I Would Have Been Killed On the Spot
No wonder Qiao Nanyi’s mindset had changed.
It should be noted that among the four great elders of Jialan, Qiao Nanyi’s strength had been the most formidable. The reason Qingwu was able to surpass him was because Qingwu had spent an additional thousand years in the Immortal World.
Qiao Nanyi had always been extremely proud of himself.
Now that he had failed, the blow to his confidence must have been significant.
"Don’t blame yourself, don’t get stuck in it. Neither the Master nor the Princess would blame us," Qing Feng reassured him. "How could we have known there would be an Asura protector? Think about it—how powerful are they? The fact that we were able to survive is already a victory."
Qiao Nanyi hesitated for a moment before replying, "But I... but I was struck by the Asura Blood Slaughter Palm, my life hanging by a thread. It was the Master and the Princess who found a way to save me, exhausting quite a bit of their spiritual power."
Qing Feng blinked with a strange look, "Sounds like a pretty impressive name. You’re not doing too bad. You lasted until the Master and the Princess arrived. If it had been me, I would have been dead on the spot!"
"..." Qiao Nanyi wasn’t sure how to respond.
Qing Feng slapped him on the shoulder, "I know with your character, you probably want to fight that Asura protector again, but with your heart demon now, how are you going to improve your cultivation?"
There was silence all around, only the sound of the wind and the chirping of insects could be heard.
Qiao Nanyi shot Qing Feng a glance. "I didn’t expect you to be so clear-headed."
"Wasn’t I always like this?" Qing Feng replied. "Qiao Nanyi, the Master must have the same thoughts as I do. Besides, the Master is an immortal body, and we serve him. If we indiscriminately kill innocents, that debt would be on the Master’s head. Don’t you agree?"
Qiao Nanyi focused, "That’s right."
He hadn’t expected Qing Feng to understand such reasoning. It seemed like his brief trip to the mortal realm had gained him some insight.
However, as for these traitors... killing them was something he didn’t regret.
Jialan had many celestial techniques and secret arts that could only be taught to those with pure hearts. For people with corrupt minds to learn them was a defilement of Jialan’s reputation.
Qing Feng saw that Qiao Nanyi had come to terms with things and asked, "What about the disciples’ Qiankun Bags? Did you take them?"
"I took them, but they probably aren’t worth much," Qiao Nanyi replied.
"Even if they’re not worth much, we still need to take them. The Jialan family’s treasury is nearly depleted by Qingwu!" Qing Feng said with frustration.
Just as he finished speaking, they heard a rushing sound and a roar from the sky.
Looking up, they were surprised to see a large Spirit Boat.
The moonlight illuminated the scene.
"Huh? Why does that Spirit Boat look so much like Jialan’s?"
"It is Jialan’s," Qiao Nanyi said, even more astonished. "The Master and the Princess just left not long ago, how could they be back so soon?"
Before he could finish his sentence, he understood why.
The Princess was not only fast in going but also fast in coming back!
In the blink of an eye, the Spirit Boat disappeared into the night, heading towards Jialan.
Qiao Nanyi’s lips twitched.
So soon, was it really to pick up the injured ones?
Perhaps it was a case of injury being piled upon injury.
The two exchanged a glance and immediately rushed back to Jialan Celestial Mountain.
Sure enough, the Spirit Boat was anchored in front of Joy Spring Platform.
A ladder was extended, allowing them to go directly from the Spirit Boat to the platform.
As they landed, they heard Nanli’s voice: "Siheng, you take over the controls. They’ve all passed out. Their injuries are too severe. I need to have the paper men carry them down and treat them immediately!"
But Siheng was also dizzy, his steps unsteady, barely able to stand.
This back-and-forth had been too quick!
Even though he stabilized himself using his cultivation technique, he could only say there was no problem to avoid losing face in front of A’Li.
Hearing this, A’Li drove even faster, reassured.
Now, he couldn’t hold it anymore...
Luckily, when he saw Qiao Nanyi and Qing Feng, he quickly waved his hand, "You come."
He needed to go and throw up for a bit.
Nanli couldn’t care less about how Siheng was doing. She directed the paper men to carry the injured down for treatment.
Even Bai Hao, who was the most resilient, couldn’t withstand it and fainted.
Qiao Nanyi and Qing Feng quickly helped stabilize the Spirit Boat.
Siheng lay on the side of the boat, no longer displaying any of his usual authority.
After a while, he regained some strength.
Qing Feng teased, "Master, I didn’t expect you to get seasick. The Princess isn’t even affected."
Siheng glanced at Qing Feng and shot him a glare. "Shut up!"
Qiao Nanyi couldn’t help but chuckle. "But isn’t the Princess pregnant? How could she handle the speed so well?"
Siheng’s face didn’t look too good.
However, when it came to Nanli, his expression softened, and a hint of pride appeared on his face. "A’Li is different from others. I’m sure those three little ones in the future will also be exceptional."
Qing Feng thought of Nanli’s commanding presence while steering the boat and quietly muttered, Let’s hope they’re not too mischievous.
They took a short break, and soon, Cinian, Ximen Chuan, and Chu Yang arrived.
These three had anticipated Nanli’s swift sailing, so they chose to travel via sword flight.
But according to logic, Chu Yang should have been faster than the Spirit Boat, yet he arrived at the same time as the others.
Qing Feng asked about it.
Chu Yang, with a serious expression, explained, "I heard from sixth sister that there are other Demon Clan Asuras, so I stayed with them to keep an eye out."
After all, their spiritual power had only partially recovered, enough to sustain sword flight.
Ximen Chuan, looking embarrassed, said, "Who asked you to look after me?"
"Master Ximen, it’s better to have a bit more patience," Cinian said, thanking Chu Yang, "Thank you, Chu Yang, without your protection, even if a Golden Core cultivator ambushed us, I wouldn’t be able to defend myself right now."
Chu Yang, however, didn’t seek praise and smiled modestly. "Zen Master Cinian, you’re too kind."
When he saw Siheng, Chu Yang instinctively wanted to bow in respect, but then his hand froze. He raised an eyebrow. "I heard from Ji Chengyi that I am the reincarnation of Huoyun Celestial Sovereign, which is why Crimson Nine Lands recognizes me as its master. Based on that, shouldn’t I be allowed to call you brother-in-law?"
Siheng helplessly replied, "I’ve already called you ’fourth brother.’"
"Brother-in-law!" Chu Yang said without hesitation, and with satisfaction, he carried Crimson Nine Lands into Joy Spring Platform.
Everyone on the Spirit Boat was shocked.
"Wh—What?! Chu Yang is the reincarnation of Huoyun Celestial Sovereign? How is that possible? The Chu family must have great fortune!"
Cinian was so excited his hands were trembling.
He wanted to know if there were other immortal reincarnations in the Chu family.
Qiao Nanyi looked at Siheng, puzzled. "Master, why aren’t you surprised? Did you already know?"
"Not much earlier than you," Siheng replied. "The Crimson Nine Lands has always had a Ware Elf since its creation. Its nature is fiery and unruly. Huoyun Celestial Sovereign tamed it later, and Crimson Nine Lands only recognizes him as its true master. I only knew after I saw him holding Crimson Nine Lands."
Cinian understood. "No wonder the people from Penglai Island didn’t use this celestial artifact much before. It seems they couldn’t handle the fiery nature of the Ware Elf."
Qing Feng cracked his fingers. "Two immortal reincarnations in the Chu family already. I wonder if there are more?"
