Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the past six months, the tremors in Wanzhou had gradually weakened. However, from time to time, the name Xie Tian would emerge from the mouths of the people of Wanzhou, leading to a series of legends written by a certain young genius.
The State of Song had already perished, and the State of Xu had become the dynasty to the north of the Lanzhuijiang River. However, the emperor, Xu Zhantang, had chosen to abdicate after only half a year, throwing the throne to his father, Xu Ruhai.
Early in the morning, Xu Zhantang, the retired emperor of the Xu Kingdom, and Mu Liang, the crown prince of the Chu Kingdom, stood outside a restaurant in Bianliang City.
Simple, with only one door curtain
However, there were less than ten people in all of Wanzhou who had the right to lift the curtain.
These two are qualified.
However, before lifting the curtains, the two of them still had a score to settle.
This debt was that the two of them, who were both young masters of the number one aristocratic families of the two countries and had similar seniority, were actually two whole generations apart at this moment.
Therefore, Mu Liang's expression was very ugly.
Previously, when Xu Zhantang was the emperor, he had been embarrassed for half a year. Now that Xu Zhantang had abdicated, he would probably be embarrassed for the rest of his life.
"Xu Zhantang, are you doing this on purpose?" Mu Liang carried Que Xing on his back. His sword-like eyes narrowed and a cold light flashed.
Xu Zhantang assumed the posture of an elder and was not annoyed at all. He squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Oh, so it's the crown prince of Chu State. I …"
"Does your father usually call you Retired Emperor?" Mu Liang sneered and countered.
"He calls me the Retired Emperor, and I call him father. What, you don't like it?" How could Xu Zhantang be so eloquent?
The curtains were lifted. Boss Jia crossed his arms and said lazily, "Did I call you here to quarrel?"
"Greetings, Boss Jia." The two of them stopped bickering and cupped their fists at Boss Jia. Xu Zhantang smiled and asked, "Has Xie Tian come out of seclusion?"
Boss Jia shook his head. "Everyone is here. Come in and talk."
As soon as the two of them entered the inner courtyard, they saw several people.
Lian Xiaojiu, Zhou Zhaoyang, five young Elders of the Saber Soul Sect, and an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion.
"Xu Zhantang greets Elder Wen."
"Mu Liang greets Elder Wen."
Even though the two of them were of high status, their attitude towards Wen Shui was very respectful.
Wen Shui smiled and nodded. He said kindly, "Have a seat, have a seat. Xiao Hua, serve some tea."
Everyone sat around Wen Shui. It could be said that regardless of whether it was Xu Country or Chu Country, the person who was most respected was not Xie Tian, but Wen Shui.
Because from the beginning until the end, Wen Shui had helped Xie Tian without any selfishness. Because of this, he'd suffered misfortune and lost his cultivation. Because of this, he'd lost many disciples, and even the Saber Soul Sect had been persecuted.
If not for Wen Shui's persistence, what was terrifying was not that Xie Tian might be killed, but that Xie Tian would definitely be forced to become a killing cultivator by those who had ulterior motives and acted recklessly. That would be a nightmare.
Fortunately, all of this had passed. All those who had persecuted Xie Tian had received retribution, and all those who had helped Xie Tian had received great rewards. Because of Xie Tian, their lives had become even more magnificent.
"This time, I've invited you all here because I have a request!"
Wen Shui had a smile on his face, but his turbid eyes could not hide his worry. "Xie Tian has been cultivating in seclusion for half a year. In this half a year, he hasn't taken a single step out. Sigh, what happened to Yin Tian was a big blow to him. I'm afraid that if this goes on, his temperament will be affected!"
Everyone's expression was grave. They did not expect that Xie Tian, who had always had a firm temperament, would have such a problem. They immediately said, "Elder Wen, please instruct us. As long as we can help Xie Tian, we will definitely do our best!"
"Hehe, this is not difficult!" Wen Shui smiled even more kindly. "Xie Tian has very few friends. I can be considered one, but I'm too old. You are all of the same age, so you should be able to get along. I …"
With a creak, the door that had been sealed for half a year opened. A pale Xie Tian walked out of the house.
"Xie Tian!"
The joy on everyone's face came from the bottom of their hearts. Did Xie Tian walk out of the house mean that he had walked out of the shadow of Yin Tian 'er?
Xie Tian looked at everyone and revealed a smile. He said softly, "Don't worry about me. I'm really cultivating!"
As soon as he finished speaking, golden light burst out of his body. It was as if he was a deity descending to the world!
"Xie Tian, what … what realm are you in?" Even though Xie Tian took the initiative to release his aura, no one could clearly see Xie Tian's cultivation.
Boss Jia's mouth was crooked from smiling. He said proudly, "My young man is so talented. After cultivating in seclusion for half a year, he's at least … Mu Liang, speaking of which, what realm is above the Dharmic Power Realm?"
Mu Liang rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "The True Energy Realm. It's impossible for a realm to appear in Wanzhou!"
"That's because Xie Tian isn't here. If he was, he would have been a Dao Venerable long ago!" Boss Jia's understanding of the cultivation world was still a blank piece of paper. However, he knew that Xie Tian had a rather powerful grandfather who was a Dao Venerable, so he borrowed his grandfather's realm.
Everyone rolled their eyes.
Xie Tian shook his head and said, "After cultivating hard for half a year, I'm only at Connate Realm Level Eight!"
Everyone was shocked. Xie Tian was so talented that he had already broken through to the Connate Realm half a year ago. Now, he had cultivated hard for another half a year. How could he only make such progress? Could it be that his temperament had suffered a great setback?
"My Connate Inner Qi is a little strange. Even when I cultivate the Qi Scripture, the speed is really slow!" Xie Tian explained. "But within half a year, I'll definitely break through!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Wen Shui looked at Xie Tian with a smile and pretended not to see the trace of sadness in his blood-red eyes. "It's rare for you guys to get together. Go out for a walk! I say, Boss Jia, you're already in your forties. Why are you so excited? Stay and help with the cooking! "
The group of outstanding talents roared with laughter. Xie Tian also laughed and shouted towards the back garden, "Xiao Ma!"
"Hey, hey, hey, coming …"
"Yu!"
Xiao Ma, who was in the kitchen, and Xiao Ma, who was in the back garden, appeared at the same time!
Xiao Ma glared at Xiao Ma and ran to Xie Tian's side, rubbing its head vigorously.
"I haven't played with you in a long time. Let's go!"
Xie Tian led Xiao Ma and walked out with a group of young people.
"Xiao … Xiao Ma?" Xiao Ma, who was covered in grease, was dumbfounded and muttered absentmindedly.
"Xiao Ma, you didn't hear wrong. It really is Xiao Ma …" Boss Jia's face tightened as he tried to hold back his laughter.
"How, how can this be?"
"I guess Xie Tian didn't think too much. Ha, I was wondering why that horse would come over whenever I called for you. Let me laugh for a few hours, haha …"
"I, I don't want to live anymore!"
"I, I won't stop you …"
…
The people around Xie Tian weren't very old, but they were people who could shake Wanzhou with a stomp of their feet. They walked through Bianliang City, laughing and cursing. They were in high spirits and wantonly displayed the aura of youth!
Only when night fell did the group return. The famous chef, Brother Ma, who had been busy for the whole day, glanced at the unkind Xie Tian with resentment and brought over a dozen big basins. Boss Jia carried over a hundred jars of wine, and the fragrance of the wine filled the inner courtyard.
Almost everyone was drunk. Even Boss Jia's wife, Xiao Hua, was flushed red from the drunken Little Lotus Nine. In the end, Boss Jia hit her on the head a few times, causing her to grimace in pain.
Boss Jia had eaten the Clear Sky Pill and was now a complete Xiantian realm cultivator!
It wasn't the wine that intoxicated them, but the people themselves. The emotions that everyone had held back for half a year all erupted at this moment. When someone cried, everyone cried together. When someone laughed, everyone laughed together. They shared their joys and sorrows!
From beginning to end, Xie Tian had a smile on his lips. He drank very elegantly, but he drank more than everyone else combined. Everyone was drunk, but his blood-red eyes were still as calm as before. The wisp of sorrow under the calmness was also the same.
"It's been half a year. Grandpa Feng, why aren't you back yet …"
