Hsu Fengnian said softly, "Have you forgotten that Han Diaosi is best at killing Heavenly Phenomenon cultivators with his finger? That's why there's the saying that those below Earth Immortals are invincible. Don't feel aggrieved. When it comes to martial arts realms, comparisons are odious. There will always be a higher mountain. I know you want to become someone like Wang Xianzhi, but before that, you still have to relax. There are many things that can't be rushed. There are eight hundred unorthodox paths and three thousand heretical paths. You've chosen an extremely steep and narrow path, so you have to cherish your life even more. As for me, I've briefly entered pseudo Heavenly Phenomenon. It can be considered a fleeting moment, but there's one thing I can tell you. Once you ascend, you might become the first Heavenly Phenomenon cultivator in three hundred years to be struck by Heavenly Tribulation. Heaven's net has long arms. You won't be able to escape. "
Xuanyuan Qingfeng's face instantly paled.
Hsu Fengnian stood up. "Come with me. Since you've given me your proof, I can do a big business with you without worry. What I'm giving you is priceless. Even if you give yourself to me, I don't think you'll lose out."
For the first time, Xuanyuan Qingfeng didn't retort. She quietly followed behind Hsu Fengnian. It seemed that her failure to encircle and annihilate Han Diaosi had caused her arrogant and lawless character to settle down.
Hsu Fengnian pushed open the door and entered the Tide-listening Pavilion. He brought Xuanyuan Qingfeng directly to the eighth floor. The red robe appeared in the corridor, displaying Ksitigarbha's compassion. Hsu Fengnian smiled. "Don't force yourself and enter. You'll lose your cultivation for nothing."
The door opened and closed.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng saw an unforgettable scene.
Nine imperial jade seals of different sizes.
They hovered in the air.
They hovered in the same position as the Nine Kingdoms of Spring and Autumn.
Hsu Fengnian stood still with his hands clasped behind his back. Calmly, he said, "Later Sui, West Chu, Southern Tang, Western Shu, Northern Han, and Great Wei. After the fall of these six countries, the names of the countries recorded in the history books were all destroyed by Xu Xiao. In order to commend Xu Xiao for his military exploits, the Liyang imperial court bestowed five imperial jade seals to the Xu family except for the missing West Chu Emperor's seal. Back then, Da Chu was regarded as the orthodox of the Central Plains largely because it had been passed down from the Emperor Qin's Seal of Destiny. Later on, it was separated by the Spring and Autumn Period. Various countries had copied it or simply reprinted it. There were all kinds of names for it, such as "Seal" and "Treasure". Of the nine pieces you see, three of them are imitations made to make up the number nine. The Tide-listening Pavilion has nine floors for a reason. I know what you want to ask. Since the imperial court only bestowed five and imitated three, where did the last one come from? We're in the same boat, so there's no harm in telling you. Beiliang Palace secretly hid the little princess who carried West Chu's fate. Do you see that smallest imperial jade seal? It's only four inches wide, but it's the genuine Yellow Emperor's Yang Seal of the Great Qin. As for the Yin Seal, I've entered Emperor Qin's mausoleum in Beimang. However, that person wanted to keep it for himself and was only willing to show me the tip of the iceberg. I only wanted to save my life and escape, so I didn't have time to look into it. My younger brother, Huang Man'er, won't be able to enter Heavenly Phenomenon for the rest of his life. Hong Xixiang abducted my older sister, and in order to return the favor, he severed the fate of the five nations. Beiliang didn't have a single bit of it on the surface, but it split into three portions and flowed into Li Yang and West Chu's pillars of fate. "
Hsu Fengnian ignored Xuanyuan Qingfeng's dumbstruck expression and pointed at West Chu's national seal. "It was completely colorless before and looked no different from ordinary jade. However, after the bull-riding flying sword severed the fate, it shone brightly. Apart from the fact that it still can't compare to the Li Yang imitations, it's already far more brilliant than the seven imperial seals. "This talisman formation is an item that steals the fate of the world. Cao Changqing is already preparing to revive his nation, and I estimate that he'll take back West Chu's national seal in a few years. Rather than letting him take it away for nothing, I'd rather sell it to you. You can carry it with you for the next two years and slowly absorb it. When you reach Heavenly Phenomenon in the future, you can use it to resist the heavenly tribulation. "Although the fate of the imperial seal is only a hundredth or a thousandth of that of a dynasty, if you monopolize it, I estimate that you won't become the shortest-lived Heavenly Phenomenon expert in the world."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng asked in a low voice, "Then what about your little brother that my father said could only reach the Finger Profound realm?"
Hsu Fengnian's lips twitched. "At least you still have some conscience. One less Great Qin Yang Seal, which is bound to be lost, but there are still eight remaining. Moreover, I'll never let my Huang Man'er enter Heavenly Phenomenon in this lifetime. This talisman formation is just a precautionary measure. Besides, Huang Man'er is different from you. Even if this talisman formation is beneficial to him, it's only a temporary solution. In the end, whether it's your current Finger Profound realm or your future Heavenly Phenomenon realm, it's like a child's play in front of Huang Man'er. "
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said calmly, "But I won't stop at Heavenly Phenomenon."
Hsu Fengnian dismissed it with a smile. He stepped forward stealthily and reached out a hand to grab the West Chu imperial seal.
Like a python drawing water, as the imperial seal was pulled toward Hsu Fengnian's hand, a series of mysterious ripples visible to the naked eye appeared in the air.
The other eight imperial seals trembled incessantly.
When Hsu Fengnian grabbed the imperial seal, the ripples on the surface of the water gradually became as calm as a mirror.
Hsu Fengnian turned around and handed the imperial seal to Xuanyuan Qingfeng.
Her expression changed drastically, and her entire hand turned from red to purple.
Hsu Fengnian gloated. "Hot? Don't let go. "
Xuanyuan Qingfeng endured the stabbing pain in her heart and said angrily, "Why doesn't it feel strange in your hand?"
Hsu Fengnian said self-deprecatingly, "There's no pitiful wretch in the world who has more luck than me. If I, as the eldest son of Xu Xiao, wanted to hold this West Chu imperial seal before the Iron Gate Pass intercepted and killed Zhao Kai, I'm afraid I'd have to break one of my arms if I wanted to live. "
Xuanyuan Qingfeng almost fainted from the pain, but not only was she unmoved, she even tightened her grip on the imperial seal.
Hsu Fengnian sighed inwardly. What an unreasonable crazy woman. He said, "Half of your life is yours, and the other half is mine. Do you agree?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said straightforwardly, "Yes, but it'll only count if I survive after I enter Heavenly Phenomenon!"
Hsu Fengnian smiled helplessly. "Would it kill you to lose out a little?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng snorted coldly, but there was an inexplicable smile in her eyes.
Hsu Fengnian walked to the door. "Go downstairs yourself later."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng simply drifted out as soon as she stepped out of the door.
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and closed the door. After going downstairs, he easily found White Fox in the outer corridor, who was in a daze.
Hsu Fengnian comforted her. "Hey, hey, hey. It's not shameful that you can't beat Han Diaosi, who's number ten in the world. It just means you haven't entered the top ten yet."
White Fox, who was hanging from her waist, didn't say anything. She turned around and walked into the building.
Hsu Fengnian asked, "I'm going to the capital tomorrow. Han Diaosi will most likely come after me. Are you interested?"
White Fox stopped in her tracks. "Are you that afraid of death?"
Hsu Fengnian muttered, "You're so heartless."
White Fox turned around and smiled. "Don't worry. My state of mind won't be affected and stagnant because I can't kill Han Diaosi. I'm the same as your Beiliang cavalry. We're on the path of fighting to support ourselves. There will be a few big defeats in the future. It's fine as long as I don't die. "
Hsu Fengnian didn't give up and asked again, "You're really not going to the capital?"
White Fox said playfully, "Why? Do you think you'll lose face if you don't bring me, the number one beauty in the world, with so many beauties in the capital?"
Murderous intent, murderous intent!
Hsu Fengnian, whose crooked intentions were exposed, fled downstairs in a panic.
White Fox didn't chase after him. After crossing the threshold of this floor, her state of mind calmed down inexplicably. She said sadly, "I didn't expect this place to become my home. Where should I die in the future?"
The afterglow faded and the twilight gradually deepened.
Hsu Fengnian unknowingly came to the lakeside cottage among the reeds. He didn't look for Pei Nanwei, who lived here alone. Instead, he walked along a dirt path that led to the Tide-listening Lake. Perhaps it was because she had stepped on it so many times that it was flat and soft.
The autumn reeds that were taller than a man gradually turned frosty white. The wind blew like fluffy snow.
A wooden ferry that was dozens of feet long was built beside the lake. Hsu Fengnian took off his shoes and socks and put them aside. He lay back and closed his eyes to rest.
After an unknown period of time, he heard a faint sound.
The barefoot woman sat down beside him with her arms around her knees.
After a long silence, she finally said, "Now I'm happy. You're worse off than me. It's karma."
Hsu Fengnian didn't open his eyes. He said softly, "Reed ropes made from reeds can be used to hang and ward off evil spirits. Spring reeds can be used to make flute membranes. Whether it's to ward off evil spirits or flute membranes, the reeds are not for you to make scarecrows to curse me."
Pei Nanwei rested her chin on her knees. A cool breeze brushed her face. She said softly, "According to the laws of the vassal states, this year the vassal king is going to the capital to meet the Emperor. Are you going? If you're going, take me with you. I've never been to Great Peace City in my life. I want to take a look. After that, I'm willing to die of old age here. "
Hsu Fengnian stood up. He broke off a reed and sat on the edge of the wooden bridge. "I'm going to the capital, but I'm not taking you with me."
Pei Nanwei said calmly, "Fine. Then I'll continue to make scarecrows to curse you to die a horrible death."
Hsu Fengnian turned his head and said, "Do you believe that I'll slap you into the water with one slap?"
Pei Nanwei shook her head.
Hsu Fengnian turned his head and ignored this woman who had always been muddle-headed.
Pei Nanwei sat next to him and then lightly kicked his foot. "Take me with you? I only have one unfulfilled wish in my life. I can be your servant girl. "
Hsu Fengnian firmly said, "No."
"Not only will I serve you tea and call you grandpa, but I'll also massage your shoulders and call you gongzi."
"I don't care."
"I'll play chess with you and help you study."
"How much is it worth?"
"When you're not happy, this servant will smile and be willing to be hit."
"I have tender feelings for the fairer sex."
"Warm the bed."
"What?"
"Warm the bed!"
"Good, it's a promise! We'll leave for the capital tomorrow. Remember to bring some elegant and beautiful clothes so you can wear them. Don't forget rouge and powder. It's not good to put on too much. Just a little is enough. Then there's the time to warm the bed … … "
"I'm not going … …"
"You're really not going?"
"En. This place is pretty good. "
"You want to fight with me?"
Hsu Fengnian stood with a smile. He bent down and placed the autumn reed on her lap. Then he picked up his boots and socks and left the reed marsh.
