Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples-Chapter 427 - 224: Reunion! Poor Little Qingjun

Xu Buhui is indeed the current head of the Xu Family.

But what Chen Ye cared about the most was his other identity, that is, being Qing Jun’s father.

"What virtue and ability... His cultivation is mediocre, how does he qualify to be Qing Jun’s father!"

Chen Ye offered an objective assessment.

If you ask him, isn’t he just a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the master of the Xu Family?

Even though he’s just a Qi Cultivation Cultivator, he has exceptional culinary skills that can allow a little girl to enjoy delicious food for her entire life!

Though Xu Buhui is a Foundation Establishment True Man, he’s surely like Wei Shu, strong outside but weak inside, spending his lifetime merely as a flowery facade of Foundation Establishment First Layer!

Wait...

Chen Ye’s eyelids twitched; from what he knew, Xu Buhui was only Foundation Establishment First Layer before entering the Grotto Heaven, but now... the spiritual power fluctuations around him were surprisingly Foundation Establishment Second Layer!

The little white fox nestled in Zhiwei’s arms, strangely wriggling its nose, as if it smelled something sour.

Just as Chen Ye’s thoughts were racing, Xu Buhui’s gaze had already fallen upon the mystical artifact in Chen Ye’s hand, his brow slightly furrowing:

"Sir, could you let me have this item?"

The stall owner was momentarily taken aback, casting a few glances over Chen Ye.

Seeing him dressed in a black robe in a somewhat unsightly condition, the stall owner slightly relaxed.

In No Thought Valley, those with any status were not afraid to show their true faces.

Not that these people were careless.

The reason is simple; within the Grotto Heaven, Foundation Establishment Cultivators were few and far between, all of them were somewhat renowned strong cultivators.

Many had distinctive techniques, easily recognizable without the need for disguise.

And cultivators veiled in black robes were either recently established loose cultivators or those who had made enemies and dared not show their faces.

"Senior Xu, the mystical artifact belongs to the junior; why should I consult others for opinions?"

The stall owner put on a smile; he was one of those freshly established loose cultivators.

Loose cultivators lack background connections; once they reach Foundation Establishment, they find themselves in the dark.

And the Xu Family is a long-established cultivation clan, with many Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators within the family, their experience and resources far exceeding ordinary cultivators.

By fostering good relations with the Xu Family beforehand, it would be highly beneficial for his future path once he leaves the Grotto Heaven.

Xu Buhui paid no attention to the stall owner, his cold eyes firmly locked on Chen Ye:

"I am speaking to you."

"Click!"

The attendant behind him took a step forward, his hand on the sword hilt.

Cold sweat dripped down the stall owner’s face. Were these two harboring a grudge?

Chen Ye’s brow twitched even more, fearing Xu Buhui might recognize him.

Hee Qi quickly laughed to mediate: "Since Senior Xu is interested, we should certainly present it willingly..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill and looked towards the valley entrance.

At that moment, the entire No Thought Valley fell silent.

All cultivators, whether negotiating or meditating, suddenly stood up.

An elder dressed in an ancient, austere green robe, with a majestic presence, slowly stepped into the valley.

His beard and hair were white, his eyes opening and closing with a hidden brilliance, even without deliberately exerting spiritual power, the suppression from his high realm was naturally evident.

The elder’s gaze swept over the valley, finally landing on the now visibly changed Xu Buhui.

"Buhui."

Just the mention of his name caused the previously sharp Xu Buhui to tremble and instinctively retract his aura.

"Ancestor!" Xu Buhui immediately bowed, and the attendant behind him discreetly sheathed his sword, standing quietly, not daring to breathe heavily.

Xu Henshan smiled warmly, beckoning him: "Come over."

Xu Buhui dared not utter a single word further, swiftly turning around and quickly following the ancestor with the attendant.

"Why is the ancestor coming at this time?"

He was riddled with curiosity, casting a glance at Chen Ye.

He vaguely sensed something odd about this person.

The pretense of wanting the mystical artifact was false; probing this person was the real intent.

But now, with the ancestor there, he had no mind to probe.

Once Xu Buhui reached beside the ancestor, the elder casually waved, bringing them to a pavilion.

This pavilion was one of the buildings in No Thought Valley, now tidied for temporary resting.

Within the pavilion, there were two others.

One was one of the leaders within the Xu family’s collateral branch, Xu Changhe.

The other was a delicate little girl dressed in a pale purple dress, with her silver hair cascading like a waterfall.

Inside the pavilion, the atmosphere was subtle.

Qing Jun leaned idle at the window, occasionally tapping the carved flowers of the lattice with her small hand, not even glancing at the two men entering behind her.

Her cute little feet swayed back and forth.

Annoying master!

Still hasn’t come looking for her!

I heard master was bound by a spiritual lock, losing his cultivation? Humph, she, Xu Qingjun, was already at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer and had learned many skills!

When she sees master, she’ll definitely suppress him thoroughly!

Who could understand the thoughts of a little girl?

"Buhui, greetings ancestral elder, greetings Brother Changhe."

Xu Buhui was the first to break the silence. He gave Xu Henshan a respectful bow, then casually saluted Xu Changhe.

"The family head is too kind."

Xu Changhe responded with a formal smile, casually pouring tea for Xu Buhui, his tone edged with a hint of mockery.

"The family head’s venture into the Grotto Heaven yielded great results, having broken through to Foundation Establishment Second Layer. Such congratulations are due."

Xu Buhui’s expression cooled slightly.

The Xu family collateral branch’s Xu Changfeng and Xu Changhe indeed stood above him; the former had reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Period, the latter was Foundation Establishment Third Layer.

Whereas he, the family head, had barely reached the Foundation Establishment Second Layer now.
