Chapter 184: Daddy’s Pit
Chapter 184: Dad is cheating, Dad is cheating
"Tong Lao?" Ye Xiu was a little surprised to see Tianshan Tong Lao appear in front of him again.
After all, Tianshan Tong Lao sent him to Huayin County yesterday and left. Ye Xiu thought that Tianshan Tong Lao had left, but she appeared in front of her again the next day.
And no one in the whole Huashan could notice that Tianshan Tong Lao had come to Huashan.
"Ye boy, grandma has something to ask you." Tianshan Tong Lao looked at Ye Xiu expressionlessly.
"Tong Lao, please tell me. As long as I know something, I will never hide it." Ye Xiu said quickly.
"You are--" Tianshan Tong Lao wanted to ask Ye Xiu about the diary, but found that she could not speak at all. It seemed that if she forced herself to speak, she would definitely be wiped out by a powerful and mysterious force before she could say anything.
"Tong Lao?" Ye Xiu looked at Tianshan Tong Lao in confusion.
"It's okay!" Tianshan Tonglao closed her eyes, suppressing the fear in her heart. She remained calm on the surface, as if nothing had happened. "Ye Xiu, how much do you know about my Xiaoyao Sect?"
"Um, well, I don't know much about the Xiaoyao Sect. After all, I'm in the Ming Dynasty, and the Xiaoyao Sect you belong to, Tonglao, is far away in the Song Dynasty. Naturally, I don't know much about the Xiaoyao Sect," Ye Xiu explained.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Xiu's explanation would be fine, and anyone else would have given the same answer.
However, Tianshan Tonglao knew from Ye Xiu's diary that he actually knew a lot about the Xiaoyao Sect. She even thought that Ye Xiu should be quite familiar with the three of them.
So Ye Xiu's answer made Tianshan Tonglao's face darken.
"Ye boy! You must let grandma put--" Tianshan Tonglao subconsciously wanted to say the three words "diary", but was once again warned by the magical power, and her words were stuck in her throat.
"Grandma? What's wrong with you?" Ye Xiu looked at Tianshan Tonglao in confusion.
"Humph, grandma, I'm in a bad mood, very bad." Tianshan Tonglao looked at Ye Xiu with a gloomy face.
Ye Xiu was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
Tianshan Tonglao left yesterday and came back today. She came back and always seemed to be hesitant to speak. What she said was also very confusing. This was too abnormal. Ye Xiu felt that although he had known for a long time that Tianshan Tonglao's personality was moody, her current behavior still made Ye Xiu feel helpless.
"Grandma, what do you want to ask?" Ye Xiu couldn't help asking.
"Grandma, I want to ask if you know anything about my junior apprentice Wuyazi?" Tianshan Tonglao looked at Ye Xiu seriously. Although her feelings for Wuyazi had, until now, been little more than an obsession, Ye Xiu's diary showed that Wuyazi was in a bad state, so Tianshan Tonglao couldn't help but want to get news from Ye Xiu.
"Wuyazi? How would I know?" Ye Xiu feigned confusion as he looked at Tianshan Tonglao, but he couldn't help but wonder why Tianshan Tonglao would ask such a question. Did she know that he was a time traveler or something? Why would she ask if he knew anything about Wuyazi?
Seeing Ye Xiu like this, Tianshan Tonglao felt even more annoyed. She now understood that she couldn't tell Ye Xiu about the diary, so she had to avoid it for many things. She even found that anything she wanted to say to Ye Xiu couldn't make him suspect anything in the diary. If it involved too much, she couldn't say it.
"You used to have a girl named Zhong Ling with you. She seems to be practicing our Xiaoyao Sect's Beiming Divine Art. And the Beiming Divine Art is the same martial art practiced by my junior brother Wuyazi. So I wanted to ask if you've learned anything from Zhong Ling?" Tianshan Tonglao could only come up with a random excuse.
"Zhong Ling—I'm sorry, she never told me anything like that." Ye Xiu still felt something was amiss, but since Tianshan Tonglao was asking about Zhong Ling, it made sense.
As for why Tianshan Tonglao knew about Zhong Ling—since she even knew about Ye Xiu's cultivation of the Divine Illumination Sutra, it wouldn't be surprising to know that Zhong Ling was around.
The various restrictions surrounding the diary were making Tianshan Tonglao increasingly irritated. She almost wanted to plant a few life and death talismans on Ye Xiu and then interrogate him thoroughly.
Finally, the thought of Ye Xiu being able to write in such a magical diary forced her to suppress her irritation.
"When Zhong Ling comes back, ask her how she got the Bei Ming Divine Art, and ask her if she knows anything about my junior brother Wuyazi." Tianshan Tonglao said impatiently to Ye Xiu.
"Yes, Tonglao, don't worry. As soon as Zhong Ling comes back, I will definitely ask her about Wuyazi." Ye Xiu promised hurriedly.
Tianshan Tonglao nodded, turned around, and disappeared.
Just when Ye Xiu was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, Tianshan Tonglao's figure reappeared in front of Ye Xiu.
"Um, Tonglao, do you have any other instructions?" Ye Xiu couldn't help but ask.
"Grandma, I received the Divine Illumination Sutra from you. I promised you I would practice it on my own, but now the situation is different. I might have to pass it on to someone else. But I won't take advantage of you. First of all, besides me, I'll only let one other person practice the Divine Illumination Sutra. So, I can teach you another martial art: the Tianshan Six Yang Palm or the Lingbo Microstep. You can choose one of these two." As Tianshan Child-Grandma spoke, she tilted her head slightly, not directly addressing Ye Xiu.
She looked as if she was slightly guilty, as if she was hesitant to confront Ye Xiu.
"Then, I want the Tianshan Six Yang Palm." Ye Xiu chose the Tianshan Six Yang Palm.
As for the Lingbo Microstep, Ye Xiu had to admit that it was truly an exceptional light-strength martial art.
Firstly, its speed and agility far surpassed those of ordinary light-strength martial arts. Furthermore, with each rotation of the Lingbo Microstep, one would accumulate a bit of internal energy. Arguably, these two points alone place Lingbo Weibu among the top Qinggong techniques.
However, these two benefits are useless to Ye Xiu.
First, regarding speed and agility, Ye Xiu already possesses Fengshen Leg. Its speed and agility rival those of Lingbo Weibu, and it even boasts a bonus attack.
As for accumulating internal energy—
the meager amount gained from performing Lingbo Weibu is far less than what Ye Xiu could easily achieve by writing a diary entry.
Therefore, the two unique benefits of Lingbo Weibu hold little appeal for Ye Xiu.
Of course, if Lingbo Weibu could be passed down to the Huashan Sect, at least to Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan, Ye Xiu would absolutely be willing to exchange them.
Unfortunately, judging by Tianshan Tonglao's intentions, whether it's Lingbo Weibu or Tianshan Liuyang Palm, no matter which martial art he chooses, it's likely to end up like Tianshan Zhemei Hand, a technique Ye Xiu cultivates on his own.
Since Lingbo Weibu couldn't be passed down to others, Ye Xiu naturally wouldn't choose it.
After leaving behind the Tianshan Liuyang Palm, Tianshan Tonglao left again, leaving Ye Xiu in deep thought.
Ye Xiu suspected that Tianshan Tonglao said she would pass the Shenzhaojing to another person, and that other person might be Wuyazi.
Ye Xiu shook his head and didn't think about the specific situation.
...
"Sister Azhu, you are here." Wang Yuyan saw Azhu sneaking into Mantuo Villa again, and immediately came up to her with a happy face.
"Yuyan, you seem to be looking forward to my coming." Azhu looked at Wang Yuyan with a happy face and asked with a smile.
"Sister Azhu, of course I am looking forward to your coming. After all, you are my sister - Sister Azhu, can you take me out of Mantuo Villa?" Wang Yuyan looked at Azhu expectantly.
"Huh? Yuyan, do you want to leave Mantuo Villa?"
"Well, you should have seen yesterday's diary. My grandfather's condition should not be very good. I want to go find my grandfather." Wang Yuyan nodded.
"Your grandfather? The man named Wuyazi? Do you know where he is?"
"I don't know, but it should be related to the Linglong chess game. After we leave Mantuo Villa, we'll ask for information about the Linglong chess game, and we should be able to find my grandfather."
Upon hearing Wang Yuyan's words, Ah Zhu understood that Wang Yuyan's desire to leave Mantuo Villa wasn't just a whim; she truly wanted to leave.
"Since you've begged me, Yuyan, I'll help you." Ah Zhu decided to help Wang Yuyan.
With Ah Zhu's help, Wang Yuyan transformed from a stunning beauty into an ordinary-looking man. He looked truly ordinary, the
kind you'd be hard to miss in a crowd. Wang Yuyan couldn't help but marvel at Ah Zhu's disguise, marveling at her incredible skills.
With Ah Zhu's help, Wang Yuyan transformed herself and quietly left Mantuo Villa.
Ah Zhu also disguised herself as an ordinary man and left with Wang Yuyan.
After all, with Wang Yuyan's experience, if Ah Zhu hadn't followed her, even if Ah Zhu helped her disguise herself, Wang Yuyan would not have survived two days outside.
A long time after Ah Zhu and Wang Yuyan left Mantuo Villa, Wang Yuyan's mother Li Qingluo discovered that Wang Yuyan was missing. She couldn't help but be very angry, and at the same time very worried. She immediately asked people to look for Wang Yuyan's whereabouts.
As for the letter left by Wang Yuyan, saying that she was going to find her grandfather, it made Li Qingluo frown.
After all, in Li Qingluo's opinion, her father Wuyazi might have died somewhere long ago. Wang Yuyan's statement that she was looking for her grandfather was simply nonsense.
Li Qingluo was more willing to believe that Wang Yuyan had gone to look for Murong Fu.
So Li Qingluo also sent people to Yanziwu to inquire about Wang Yuyan's whereabouts. After learning that Ah Zhu from Yanziwu had also disappeared, Li Qingluo believed that Ah Zhu had abducted Wang Yuyan. She began to hate Ah Zhu and even vowed to turn her into fertilizer when she found her.
Ye Xiu was naturally unaware of this and had no idea that his diary had caused such a change in Wang Yuyan's behavior.
Instead, Ye Xiu began writing in his diary again.
"The Child-Girl of Tianshan is really moody. She left yesterday, but she's back today."
"And her speech is a bit vague and jumbled. A lot of what she says is even hard to understand."
"I think my IQ is okay. Although I'm not particularly smart, I'm not mentally retarded. But a lot of what she said makes me wonder if my brain isn't fully developed."
"Also, the Child-Girl of Tianshan actually asked me if I knew about Wuyazi's situation."
"Of course I know about Wuyazi's situation, but can I tell the Child-Girl of Tianshan? Obviously not!"
"Speaking of which, that guy Wuyazi is also a pervert. Li Qiushui and Wu Xingyun both like Wuyazi, but Wuyazi secretly likes Li Qiushui's sister Li Canghai."
"So much so that after Wuyazi married Li Qiushui, he still couldn't forget Li Canghai and even carved a jade statue of Li Canghai."
"Li Qiushui initially thought that the jade statue carved by Wuyazi was of herself, but she didn't expect that the person Wuyazi carved was not her at all."
"Moreover, when Wuyazi was carving the jade statue, he put all his energy into it and ignored Li Qiushui. He didn't even care that Li Qiushui was pregnant with his child." "
Li Qiushui's personality is not very good, not to mention she was in the sensitive period of pregnancy."
"In order to make Wuyazi focus his attention on herself, the neglected Li Qiushui found a group of handsome young men to play with after giving birth, hoping to make Wuyazi angry, but Wuyazi pretended not to see anything. After Li Qiushui went too far, Wuyazi hated Li Qiushui even more." "
In the end, Li Qiushui and Wuyazi's disciple Ding Chunqiu had an affair together, which angered Wuyazi. He wanted to kill them both, but he was ambushed by Li Qiushui and Ding Chunqiu and was knocked off a cliff."
"If Su Xinghe hadn't rescued Wuyazi from the cliff in time, he might have died a miserable death."
"Although Wuyazi didn't die, he broke his spine and became a cripple. Then he hid in Leigushan and waited until his true energy could no longer hold on. Then he started the Linglong chess game, trying to find a successor to help him kill Ding Chunqiu and avenge himself."
"But it seems that Wuyazi's target of revenge is only Ding Chunqiu, not Li Qiushui. That's right, even though Li Qiushui found so many pretty boys to be her lovers, and even did it in front of Wuyazi, and even seduced Ding Chunqiu - tsk, Li Qiushui is quite playful." "
But in the final analysis, it was Wuyazi who wronged Li Qiushui first. Even though Li Qiushui was not a good person either."
"Wuyazi, Li Qiushui, Wu Xingyun, and Li Canghai. The once happy Xiaoyao Sect has become what it is now."
"By the way, weren't people allowed to have three wives and four concubines in ancient times? Wasn't there no crime of bigamy? Why couldn't Wuyazi be straightforward and just marry all three of them? It was precisely because of the feelings between several people that things got so messed up--" "
Uh, it seems that Li Canghai has never appeared. Perhaps, Li Canghai simply despises Wuyazi? So he just chose Gao Fei?"
"Come to think about it, it makes sense. Li Canghai is Li Qiushui's sister, not a twin sister. She seems to be several years younger than Li Qiushui. So, when Wuyazi fell in love with Li Canghai, Li Canghai should still be a minor?"
"Tsk, this guy Wuyazi, he is purely a lolita complex--that doesn't seem right."
"If he is a lolita complex, Wu Xingyun is a legal lolita. How could he not like Wu Xingyun? Or is it that he likes an illegal one instead of a legal one?"
"Forget it, Wuyazi's love history is also a mess. I won't say more."
"I don't know when the Child-Fairy of Tianshan will regain her youth. I also don't know if she will eventually be found by Li Qiushui after traveling all the way to the Ming Dynasty, and the two of them will perish together."
"In Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, the Xiaoyao Sect can be said to be the most powerful and mysterious sect. The three elders of Xiaoyao all died in the end, and they didn't even have a proper successor. In the end, the Taoist sect Xiaoyao Sect fell into the hands of the monk Xuzhu. I'm afraid the end of the Xiaoyao Sect is that everything is gone. It was directly extinct from Xuzhu." "
But in this world of Zongwu, the result should be different. After all, if Xiaoyaozi, the master of Tianshan Tonglao and others, was still alive, he would not watch the Xiaoyao Sect just disappear like this."
"Anyway, it's a pity."
"The three protagonists in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Xiao Feng, Xuzhu, and Duan Yu, all seem to be, well, how should I put it, tragedies? But the endings of Xuzhu and Duan Yu don't seem to be tragedies? It doesn't seem right either--"
"Xuzhu wanted to be a monk, but in the end he became the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect and married a wife. But in his heart, he might still be willing to be a monk."
"What about Duan Yu? His father died, his mother died, and in the end he found out that his father was not his father. But because his father was not his father, it was not a bad thing for him to marry a beautiful woman in the end?"
"Xiao Feng, a real hero, was terribly betrayed by his father. If his father hadn't been betraying him all the time, Xiao Feng's ending wouldn't have been so tragic."
"Besides Xiao Feng, Murong Fu was also betrayed by his father."
"Murong Bo has the real problem with his brain. He faked his death, but he still committed crimes crazily outside. He committed crimes of his own accord. When killing people, he kept using Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, and finally attracted a lot of hatred to his son Murong Fu."
"Others have sons betraying their fathers, but for these two, it's the father who betrays his son."
