Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples-Chapter 399 - 214: Bad Master, Deceiving Zhiwei (Part 3)

Chapter 399: Chapter 214: Bad Master, Deceiving Zhiwei (Part 3)

Even his left arm had been consumed by the blood reed attack, leaving it a ghastly white bone.

"Guardian Wei!"

The disciples hurried forward to support him with deep lament.

Guardian Wei was their pillar on this journey, and such a severe injury greatly diminished their combat strength.

Afterwards, how would they face the constant threats of the Grotto Heaven, as well as the watchful eyes of other forces?

Bear in mind, although the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect sent only one cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, he carried a Second Tier puppet!

Wei Shu was still traumatized and deeply pained.

Not only did he fail to obtain that Second Tier spiritual object, but his Second Tier Treasure Armor was also near collapse.

The most fatal aspect was that he was still inside the Grotto Heaven, unable to find an artifact refiner to repair it!

Without the protection of the Treasure Armor, the risk of falling greatly increased!

He disregarded everything else, raised his hands high towards the distance and said loudly, "Junior Wei Shu! Many thanks to Senior Xu for intervening and saving me!"

On the flying boat.

Xu Henshan withdrew his withered hand, his cloudy old eyes fixated upon the reed sea below, where chaos was subsiding.

"Ancestor..."

Standing beside him, Xu Changhe couldn’t help but whisper, bewildered,

"Just a mere Wei Shu, why did Ancestor waste Primordial Qi to personally intervene and save him? Letting him die in that reed expanse would surely weaken the Wei family’s power?"

"Foolish!"

Xu Henshan snorted coldly, suddenly turning to look at the little silver-haired girl who had remained silent.

"Girl. What do you understand?"

Xu Changhe’s heart trembled slightly, knowing the Ancestor held great regard for this little girl.

He glanced at Qing Jun, believing she must be his elder brother Xu Bumeng’s bloodline.

Logically, she should be on his side.

The reason for his belief was simple.

His elder brother Xu Bumeng was deeply infatuated with Mao Qingzhu in his youth.

And in the Xu family hall, he even argued fiercely with others for this mother and daughter pair!

However, what Xu Changhe was unaware of was.

At this moment, far away in the Xu family, Xu Bumeng thought similarly:

Hmph, this brat Changhe, back then he was always fawning over Junior Sister Mao, and at that time Junior Sister Mao was kind to him due to his young age.

Could it be... he truly got his wish?

Otherwise, why did this brat follow after the little girl into the Grotto Heaven? Is he just worried that something might happen to the little girl...

Qing Jun’s gray eyes flickered slightly, wearily reclining on the table: "Old grandpa, those reeds didn’t move on their own."

Xu Changhe was startled once again.

Goodness gracious, little girl, are you truly treating the Ancestor as an old grandpa?

Speaking to the Ancestor with such laziness?

Cold sweat seeped from his forehead, his mind racing to figure out how to protect her just in case.

Ancestor considers etiquette paramount!

Unexpectedly, Xu Henshan wasn’t angered, instead he smiled and took a Top Grade Spirit Fruit from the Storage Bag:

"Why so listless? Could it be the Spiritual Qi of the Grotto Heaven isn’t suited to you? Try this?"

The little girl pouted.

Without her master, how could she be happy?

She glanced at the Spirit Fruit, thinking it didn’t look as tasty as the Spiritual Peach her master gave her!

That Spiritual Peach was big, round, and red...

She slowly accepted it, holding it in her hands but not eating, merely continuing her analysis:

"Their target, from beginning to end, was only that bad uncle with the surname Wei. Yet blood reeds have no intelligence, they act only on instinct."

Qing Jun extended her fair little hand, pointing at the chaotic scene below, analyzing the situation clearly,

"Moreover, it’s that bad uncle himself who suddenly stepped into the reed area. Therefore, someone set up bait, deliberately luring him there. Hmm... Qing Jun speculates that someone understood the behaviors of blood reeds and utilized them."

Xu Changhe was amazed, he originally thought Wei Shu coveted spiritual objects and mistakenly intruded.

But Qing Jun’s words astonished him.

Indeed, blood reeds have no intelligence, even if Wei Shu wanted to seize spiritual materials, they would only attack based on instinct.

And they wouldn’t hold a vendetta against Wei Shu, only focus on attacking him.

Thinking of this, he valued this little girl all the more—considering her young age!

Xu Henshan’s wrinkles smoothed out, he laughed heartily:

"Excellent! Most excellent! Heaven pity me! Approaching death, to find such a talented gem to pass on my legacy! My life’s regret was failing to prove the Golden Core, and avenging family feud... but this distant Golden Core Dao path, to her, must be as easy as plucking from a bag! What a blessing!"

Golden Core?

Spineless old thing.

Master said Qing Jun could reach Nascent Soul!

The little girl bit into the fruit flesh grudgingly, if she reached Golden Core, she’d surely kill anyone who prevented her from reuniting with her master!

Old man, you’re happy too soon!
