Chapter 1573: Chapter 1573: Reaping What You Sow

Long Fei walked over and blocked Wang Xiaoya’s way on the road.

Wang Xiaoya smiled warmly, “Why, are you stopping me from going home?”

Long Fei pinched her nose with a smile and said, “You came back without telling me?”

Wang Xiaoya rubbed her nose and said, “You’re always surrounded by people, how could you not forget about me!”

“That’s not true at all!”

Long Fei, sweating on his forehead, scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself when this girl became so sharp-tongued.

He invited Wang Xiaoya to come back with him.

Long Santai, upon seeing her, stood up happily, took her arm, and laughed, “Look at my granddaughter-in-law, so thoughtful, coming back to see this old man.”

Lin Shirong teased from the side, “Old guy, look at how proud you are. Tell me, is it my Yingying who’s thoughtful, or this granddaughter-in-law?”

Long Santai laughed heartily, “What, are you envious? Let me tell you, I’m satisfied with both of my granddaughters-in-law.”

The three old men laughed, making Wang Xiaoya blush so much that she didn’t dare to look up.

She took out three bags from her Storage Ring, placed them on the table, and handed one to each, saying, “Grandpas, I’m here to say goodbye. I might have to go on a long journey and may not be able to return. These are the Heavenly Pond Lotus Roots, specialties of our Mystic Yin Sect. They can clear heat, alleviate summer heat, and prolong life. Please don’t disdain them!”

She hadn’t expected to see Long Fei on this trip back.

She just wanted to visit everyone she knew to end these worldly relationships.

She went to Xiushui Village, withdrew some money, set up a retirement fund for her foster parents in the city, and upgraded their apartment to a villa.

Longjiawan Village was her last stop.

“Sigh, Long boy is leaving, and now you’re leaving too. We old folks can’t keep you. Just hope you both stay safe out there. This will always be your home, no matter when.”

Long Santai was a bit sad; parting from Long Fei was fine, but saying goodbye to this granddaughter-in-law made him full of melancholy.

He mainly wished to hold a great-grandchild, but that hope had never been fulfilled.

The old man accepted the gift and let Wang Xiaoya go chat with Long Fei.

The two of them went out and headed for the mountain.

Wang Xiaoya sat among Chinese roses, staring blankly at the terraced fields below and asked Long Fei, “What do you think, if we were ordinary people, would we be settled down by now?”

Long Fei smiled and said, “What, are you having mortals’ thoughts?”

Wang Xiaoya said, “Yeah, refining the spirit is easy, but refining the heart is difficult. After staying in the mundane world for so long, how can it be easy to let go?”

Long Fei went over, held her small hand, and comforted her, “If you can’t let go, then don’t. Let everything go naturally and follow your heart. Forcing it too much may lead to obsession and cause inner demons.”

Wang Xiaoya nodded thoughtfully and looked at him a bit sadly, saying, “When I go back, I have to follow my mother to the Immortal King Star. When we meet again, who knows what year it will be? Will you have forgotten me by then?”

“Immortal King Star?”

Long Fei was a bit surprised and curiously asked, “What are you going there for?”

Wang Xiaoya said, “Our Mystic Yin Sect has some ties with the Immortal King Star, and there’s a legacy left there. Mother is set on seeking revenge on the four major sects, but her strength is insufficient. So, she’s planning to take everyone to Immortal King Star to seek opportunities, planning to come back for revenge after she’s strong enough.”

Long Fei scratched his head, saying, “Your mother’s obsession really has driven her to madness!”

Wang Xiaoya pinched him and said, “Don’t you dare talk about her.”

“Okay, I won’t say. You’re such a filial daughter; instead of holding any grudge against someone who gave you up to be raised by others for twenty years, you’re treating them as your biological mother.”

Long Fei stretched and smiled, putting his hand on her shoulder.

Wang Xiaoya pouted and said, “From what I’m hearing, you don’t like my mother?”

Long Fei quickly shook his head and said, “No way, I admire the house and thus the inhabitants. For your sake, I can’t help but like her!”

Wang Xiaoya pouted with a smile, “Good that you know, she’s also a pitiful woman, living only for revenge all her life. But for her love for my father, I truly admire her!”

Long Fei looked at her pitifully and said, “For your mother, are you really going to abandon your husband?”

Wang Xiaoya playfully hit him, laughing, “You’re the villain who cries first; you’re the one who abandoned me and married someone else, now you’re blaming me?”

Long Fei chuckled awkwardly, stood up, and quickly changed the subject, “Alright, I’ll give you something as compensation for being such a heartless guy!”

Wang Xiaoya eyed him and said, “What is it? A Magical Treasure?”

Long Fei shook his head, picked up a stick from the ground, and demonstrated the Xiaoxiang Nine Swords in the Chinese rose bushes for Wang Xiaoya.

This sword technique was originally created by the Xiaoxiang Concubine and is a swordsmanship for women.

It emphasizes moves rather than strength.

Therefore, it’s quite beautiful when demonstrated, like butterflies fluttering among the flowers.

It’s just that Long Fei was a bit clumsy, disgracing the sword’s essence, making it look more like a dancing bear.

He tried to control his strength, but the swordsmanship was so powerful it still attracted the Heaven and Earth Laws.

With the final move, “Sword Sweeps Qian Kun,” it shattered hundreds of meters of flower shrubs around, turning the air into a shower of flower petals falling on them.

Wang Xiaoya stared wide-eyed in amazement before asking Long Fei, “Is this the set of swordsmanship you used on Mount Wudang?”

Long Fei nodded, pointing out with a finger, imparting the sword intent he comprehended to Wang Xiaoya.

How much she could comprehend depended entirely on her talent.

He told the story of the Xiaoxiang Nine Swords to Wang Xiaoya, discussing with her the mindset of the two Xiaoxiang Concubines waiting for Emperor Shun in the bamboo grove.

Sword follows the heart. Understanding their mindset helps in comprehending the true essence of this sword technique.

Wang Xiaoya sighed, “They are also two unfortunate women. Why did Emperor Shun leave them back then? Does becoming an immortal mean you can’t even have a wife?”

Long Fei shook his head and said, “We only catch a glimpse of clues from the legends; we don’t know what really happened. Some say Emperor Shun died on Jiu Yi Mountain, others say he ascended to immortality. Maybe, with some opportunity, we’ll know the truth someday!”

Wang Xiaoya nodded, then sat down to immediately meditate on the swordsmanship, ignoring Long Fei.

Long Fei stared at her delicate face, dumbfounded. Chapters fırst released on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

They would part ways tomorrow, with no telling when they would meet again.

It was a short spring night, so why spend time teaching her sword techniques!

He sighed heavily, trying to call out to the girl, “Little Ya, it’s windy on the mountain, how about we go back home?”

Wang Xiaoya ignored him.

He thought to himself, well, this is what they call reaping what you sow.
