Chapter 202: Murong Qiudi Returns

"Alas!" Ning Zhongze couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Ning Zhongze was feeling very complicated. Thinking about the relationship she had with Ye Xiu yesterday, she felt an indescribable feeling.

Actually, Ning Zhongze didn't dislike Ye Xiu, nor did she dislike having a relationship with him.

It was just that the difference in status between her and Ye Xiu was too great.

After all, she was Ye Xiu's master's wife.

And if that were all, it would be fine.

But Ye Xiu had written about this in his diary. Ye Xiu's diary would be read by many people, including his daughter, Yue Lingshan.

If Yue Lingshan had no feelings or thoughts about Ye Xiu, it would be fine.

But Ning Zhongze knew that Yue Lingshan liked Ye Xiu. As a mother, she had actually had a relationship with the man her daughter loved.

The thought of this made Ning Zhongze feel overwhelmed.

She didn't even know how to face Yue Lingshan.

Besides Yue Lingshan, people like Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, Zhong Ling, Huang Rong, Lianxing, Jiang Yuyan, and even Lin Shiyin all knew about this.

Ning Zhongze didn't know how these people would view her, their master's wife. Would they think she was shameless?

"If only Xiu'er hadn't written this in the diary, but unfortunately, I can't stop him." Ning Zhongze felt bitter.

In fact, Ning Zhongze really didn't want Ye Xiu to write this in the diary, but Ning Zhongze couldn't tell him, not even hinting at it.

In the end, Ye Xiu wrote it in the diary, and so many people, including his own daughter Yue Lingshan, saw it.

Ning Zhongze was filled with anxiety and irritation. Even when Ning Zhongze saw Ye Xiu's favorability towards her suddenly increase from 79 to 92 points, she couldn't feel much joy. After all, if Ye Xiu's favorability exceeded 90, the rewards she could receive would increase tenfold.

With this level of favorability, it wouldn't take Ning Zhongze long to become a Grandmaster.

Ning Zhongze was truly torn.

And it wasn't just Ning Zhongze who was troubled; Yue Lingshan was equally torn.

Yue Lingshan was outside Ning Zhongze's room, pacing back and forth. She wanted to knock on the door, but she didn't want to confront him.

Yue Lingshan kept pacing back and forth, constantly wavering between wanting to knock and not wanting to.

Ning Zhongze was also uneasy, otherwise Yue Lingshan's actions would have alarmed him long ago.

Yue Lingshan looked towards Ning Zhongze's room, her eyes filled with mixed emotions. She had never dreamed that her mother would have beaten her to sleep with Ye Xiu—no, not really, she hadn't dreamed, after all, Ye Xiu had mentioned Ning Zhongze more than once in his diary, and had even hinted at ulterior motives towards him.

But Yue Lingshan didn't dare to think about it.

But now that this had actually happened, Yue Lingshan didn't know how to face it.

Yue Lingshan didn't know if she still liked Ye Xiu—it seemed like she had no choice, because she already loved him, and she couldn't control these feelings.

Even though Ye Xiu already had Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, and Murong Qiudi, and even had feelings for Huang Rong and other women

, these women had nothing to do with Yue Lingshan. She only needed to choose whether to share Ye Xiu with them.

Over time, Yue Lingshan had even begun to come to terms with Ye Xiu's involvement with more than one woman. After all, Dongfang Bubai

, Yaoyue, and Murong Qiudi had all accepted it. After all, one of them was the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, one was the Grand Master of the Yihua Palace, and one was the Celestial Supreme of the Celestial Supreme Organization. Which of them was lower in status, or even less powerful than her, Yue Lingshan? If they could accept it

, then she, Yue Lingshan, could probably accept it too.

However, being able to accept Dongfang Bubai and the others was one thing; being able to accept Ning Zhongze was another.

Yue Lingshan truly wanted to cry right now. This choice was simply too difficult.

Just as Yue Lingshan was wavering, even ready to leave, to escape,

a stone suddenly flew from a distance and struck Ning Zhongze's door with a thud.

"Who's there?" Ning

Zhongze, equally preoccupied, was startled awake by the sound of the stone hitting the door. Yue

Lingshan, who had been tempted to flee, paused at the sound of Ning Zhongze's voice .

"Mom, it's me," she replied. Silence fell for a

moment before Ning Zhongze's voice rang out again, "Come in, Shan'er."

Yue Lingshan then pushed the door open and entered.

Upon entering the room, Yue Lingshan lowered her head, not looking at Ning Zhongze.

Ning Zhongze remained silent as well. The two of them remained silent, the atmosphere growing increasingly gloomy.

"Shan'er, I'm sorry, Mother—" Ning Zhongze was her mother after all, and she felt she was in the wrong, so she spoke.

"Mother, why, why would you do this? You knew I liked Senior Brother Ye." Upon hearing Ning Zhongze's voice, Yue Lingshan finally burst into tears, tears streaming down her face as she accused Ning Zhongze in a tearful voice.

"I'm sorry, Shan'er, I'm sorry. It's all Mother's fault. It's all Mother's fault." Ning Zhongze, seeing Yue Lingshan like this, felt a pang of heartache. He reached out and pulled Yue Lingshan into his arms, patting her back in comfort.

"Wuwuwu—" Yue Lingshan buried her head in Ning Zhongze's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

She didn't know how long she cried before she finally fell asleep in Ning Zhongze's arms.

Ning Zhongze, seeing this, could only hold Yue Lingshan and fall asleep.

Regarding Ye Xiu's matter, mother and daughter had a tacit understanding. They didn't mention it again, not even explaining what they would do in the future.

The next day, when Ye Xiu saw Yue Lingshan, especially after seeing Yue Lingshan's somewhat bad look, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

After all, Ye Xiu was not an idiot, he would not fail to notice Yue Lingshan's feelings for him.

But how should Ye Xiu be described? In terms of personality, he was a passive type, and he rarely took the initiative to make any decisions.

So even though he knew that Yue Lingshan liked him, he never took the initiative to take any action.

Ye Xiu was more like not taking the initiative, not refusing, and not taking responsibility - well, he was responsible, and if something really happened, he would be able to bear the responsibility.

But when it came to women, he was still passive after all, just like Huang Rong and the others. Ye Xiu knew their feelings for him, but he never said it, nor did he say what choice he would make.

He was afraid that if he made a choice, others would leave him.

So Ye Xiu chose the scumbag way, dragging things out, fantasizing about a day when everyone would live in peace and he could sleep with her—

though in this ancient world, Ye Xiu's thoughts and desires were certainly achievable.

At least Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, even though they knew each other, still remained by Ye Xiu's side, even resorting to a one-day-and-a-half-day approach.

It was precisely because of these two people's behavior that Ye Xiu's ambitions, the desire to sleep with her, were born.

Aside from the slight guilt he inevitably felt when facing Yue Lingshan and even Ning Zhongze,

Ye Xiu's daily life remained relatively unchanged.

He still wrote in his diary every day, thanking Ning Zhongze, writing about Yue Lingshan, or perhaps mentioning Dongfang Bubai or Yaoyue.

While the number of times each person was mentioned varied, the difference wasn't significant.

This continued until Murong Qiudi arrived at Huashan.

"Murong Qiudi? Why are you here?" Ye Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise after seeing Murong Qiudi.

"Why? Can't I come?" Murong Qiudi's face immediately blossomed into a flower-like smile after seeing Ye Xiu. The smile was extremely bright, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Ye Xiu was even a little obsessed.

"Of course I can come, of course I can come. I just think you're a little, uh, a little—"

"A little reborn?" Murong Qiudi said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Ye Xiu nodded. Murong Qiudi

now looked very different from before.

Before, Murong Qiudi's expression always seemed to hide some sadness, as if something was weighing on her, making her feel a little gloomy.

But now, it was as if the burden on Murong Qiudi was suddenly lifted, and the sadness hidden in her expression, which seemed to have remained unchanged for thousands of years, was gone.

So, at this moment, though Murong Qiudi still looked the same, she gave off a completely different vibe, as if she'd been reborn.

"After all, Xie Xiaofeng is dead!" Murong Qiudi said calmly.

"Xie Xiaofeng?" Ye Xiu was slightly taken aback, surprised that Murong Qiudi could mention Xie Xiaofeng so calmly and even with such grace.

"Xie Xiaofeng was a very important person to me before. He changed my life, even my personality, making me stubborn, paranoid, and even—now that Xie Xiaofeng is dead, and because of you, the special qualities that Xie Xiaofeng had placed on me are naturally gone. Ye Xiu, then, can you accept me?" Murong Qiudi said calmly.

Ye Xiu felt a little happy hearing Murong Qiudi's words.

Although Ye Xiu did like certain special traits, such as married women,

Ye Xiu didn't want his woman to always have another man in her heart.

Ye Xiu was actually quite happy that Murong Qiudi had put Xie Xiaofeng down.

Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, looking at Murong Qiudi, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her calmness in putting Xie Xiaofeng down. Their opinions of her changed slightly.

"Sister Dongfang, Sister Yaoyue, I, Murong Qiudi, greet you two sisters." Murong Qiudi was clearly older than Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, but she addressed them both as "sister," putting herself in a humble manner that seemed completely non-aggressive.

Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue looked at Murong Qiudi meaningfully.

They didn't consider Murong Qiudi harmless. They even plotted against her and exposed Xie Xiaofeng's affairs. They didn't believe she was unaware of their actions. Yet, she remained humble, demonstrating her potential. Regardless of her status, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue didn't care.

If Murong Qiudi remained a willing younger sister, they would grudgingly accept her as their sister. If she harbored any ill intentions, they would be willing to teach her a lesson. Murong Qiudi, acting as a younger sister

, after conversing with Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, then began interacting with the other women on Mount Huashan, her tone seemingly gentle.

Huang Rong and the others, however, treated Murong Qiudi with a more acceptable attitude.

Only Zhong Ling, when she looked at Murong Qiudi, could not help but harbor a hint of hostility.

"I'm sorry, Sister Zhong Ling. I didn't know much back then, so it's inevitable that I might have some thoughts. Luckily, my actions weren't successful. I hope you can forgive me, Sister Zhong Ling." Murong Qiudi maintained a smile and a gentle tone despite Zhong Ling's hostility. This was a bit too much for Zhong Ling to bear.

Ye Xiu watched Murong Qiudi interact with the other women, and the women, in turn, seemed more like nonchalant people around her.

This puzzled Ye Xiu.

Murong Qiudi didn't seem to know the other women on Mount Hua very well, did she? Why did they all seem so familiar, like they all knew each other?

Ye Xiu felt like an outsider, as if he were separated, a strange feeling.

However, he was happy to see Murong Qiudi being accepted by everyone.

After all, according to Murong Qiudi, she was still destined to be Ye Xiu's woman, and he was naturally happy that his women could get along harmoniously.

...

"Xiu'er, the centenary of Zhang Sanfeng, the master of the Wudang Sect, is approaching, and the Wudang Sect has even sent an invitation." Ning Zhongze still felt a little uncomfortable facing Ye Xiu.

Normally, Ning Zhongze still seemed to want to avoid Ye Xiu.

But this time, the Wudang Sect sent an invitation to Zhang Sanfeng's centenary, and she had no choice but to hand it to Ye Xiu.

After all, the reason why Huashan Sect was able to become an ally of the Wudang Sect was entirely because of Ye Xiu.

Now that the Wudang Sect had sent an invitation, the focus was naturally on Ye Xiu.

"Is the centenary of Zhang Sanfeng's birthday coming up?" Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then took the invitation. The invitation was for the Huashan Sect to attend his centenary birthday, but Ye Xiu's name was not specifically written on it.

However, Ye Xiu also understood that Zhang Sanfeng's invitation, although it was said to be for Huashan, was actually for him.

After all, it was he who gave Zhang Sanfeng the Shenzhaojing and asked him to treat Yu Daying.

Ye Xiu also once told Zhang Sanfeng about the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions. It's unknown whether Zhang Sanfeng ever went there, or even if it still exists.

...

"Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday is approaching. The plot of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber is about to begin. No, it should be said that the protagonist of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber is about to officially debut. Uh, that's not right either—it's a turning point in fate anyway."

"On Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday, his long-missing disciple Zhang Cuishan and his wife Yin Susu return from overseas with their son Zhang Wuji."

"Zhang Wuji will be captured by the Xuanming Elders and struck by their Mysterious Nether Divine Palm, thus becoming afflicted with a cold poison."

"And Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, both of them will commit suicide on Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday, leaving behind Zhang Wuji who is poisoned by the cold."

"The old Taoist Zhang Sanfeng has a miserable life. On his 100th birthday, his favorite disciple committed suicide in front of him. It's really a case of the old man sending off the young."

"And the disciple is still missing and he just came back to see him."

"You said, it would be better for Zhang Cuishan to die outside. At least Zhang Sanfeng would not have to experience the surprise of seeing Zhang Cuishan return, and then the grief of Zhang Cuishan committing suicide in front of him."

"This extreme joy and sorrow is only because Zhang Sanfeng has a profound cultivation and a high level of realm. Otherwise, he might be driven astray by Zhang Cuishan's suicide." "

Tsk tsk tsk."

"However, the reason why Zhang Cuishan committed suicide was not only because Shaolin and other sects forced Zhang Cuishan to reveal the information about Xie Xun, but more importantly, it was because his third senior brother Yu Daying was paralyzed and disabled, which was related to his wife Yin Susu. Zhang Cuishan felt sorry for Yu Daying, but he had no way to kill Yin Susu, his wife and the mother of his children, to avenge Yu Daying, so he finally took extreme measures."

"And now, I have told Zhang Sanfeng about the Shenzhaojing, and also told Zhang Sanfeng about the Vajra Sect and the Black Jade Fracture Cream."

"The Shenzhaojing plus the Black Jade Fracture Cream should be able to restore Yu Daying to normal, and the Vajra Sect's conspiracy against Yu Daying can also remove Yin Susu from the body of the main culprit."

"In this way, Yu Daying should not hate Yin Susu too much, and then Zhang Cuishan should no longer feel so sorry for Yu Daying, and he should not choose to commit suicide."

"If Zhang Cuishan doesn't commit suicide, Yin Susu will not commit suicide either, and Zhang Sanfeng will not have to send his young son off with his old age."

"Well, this result is not bad."

"But speaking of it, in The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre, the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre were forged by Rong'er. The Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing were hidden in the Heaven Sword, and the Wu Mu Testament was hidden in the Dragon Slaying Sabre. That's why there's a saying that the supreme master of the

martial arts world, the precious sword that slays dragons, commands the world and no one dares to disobey. If the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre doesn't come out, who can challenge him?" "But in this Zongwu world, Rong'er is not dead, so naturally she wouldn't have forged the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre.

" "So, what is the secret of the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre in this Zongwu world?"

"I'm a little curious, really a little curious."

"So, where did the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre come from? What is the secret?" "I

suddenly seem to know! Otherwise, did they steal Nun Miejue's Heaven Sword? Or did they torture Miejue? I think Miejue should know the secret of the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre. After all, in the original novel of The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre, Miejue knew that the Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing were hidden in the Heaven Sword."

"As the leader of the Emei Sect, Miejue should be quite powerful, but I should be able to take her down, right? Even if I can't, with Dongfang and Yaoyue around, they can still take her down."

"How about giving it a try?"
