By the time Chen Xiao had composed his expression and came out, Xi Yunting and Hua Baisui were already sitting face to face at the round table.

Looking at Xi Yunting's calm expression, Chen Xiao really admired him. He must have felt embarrassed as well, but he managed to make it impossible for others to notice.

With Xi Yunting's calmness, Chen Xiao calmed down and sat down as if nothing had happened.

"Senior, is there something you want to talk to me about?" After being frightened like this, Chen Xiao's anxiety and insecurity disappeared.

Hua Baisui nodded and said, "Yes, there is something. Did you see what happened in front of the Yue family's gate today?"

"Yes, we happened to be there." Chen Xiao said.

"Huang Yanxue has a son, and I want him to become your disciple." Hua Baisui said.

Chen Xiao was surprised and said, "Let him become my disciple? To learn Feng Shui?"

Hua Baisui said, "That's right. Her son's name is Huang Keran. He grew up in my Qiluo Pavilion. He is smart and kind. It's a pity that his spiritual roots are too weak. He is sixteen years old and has not yet entered the Dao."

Chen Xiao never expected that Hua Baisui came to him to recommend a disciple to him.

Chen Xiao is quite strict and always strives for perfection in educating his disciples, preferring to have less than perfect results.

Before Shen Yanxing and Liu Lang could start their apprenticeship, Chen Xiao thought that if he took on another apprentice, the progress of teaching would be too different, and it would be difficult to teach one at a time. Therefore, after more than ten years, he still only had Shen Yanxing and Liu Lang under his command.

Now that the two disciples are ready to go out on their journeys, Chen Xiao hasn't even thought about looking for new disciples, but someone comes to recommend one, which is amazing.

Hua Baisui saw that he had been silent and thought that he was in trouble. "This is my request. As long as you are willing to accept Ke Ran as your apprentice, I will owe you a favor."

Chen Xiao hurriedly said, "I don't deserve it. Senior Hua, please stop saying that. It's too embarrassing for me."

It was not too difficult for him to accept a disciple, but it was too much to ask the great master Dujie to owe him a favor! He could not bear it and was too ungrateful.

Hua Baisui sighed: "If this child had not been born without a destiny, I would not have entrusted him to you."

Chen Xiao was very confused. "Why did Senior Lao Hua come forward in person for this matter? Where is his mother?"

Hua Baisui said without any expression: "Xueyan has already left."

Gone?

At first Chen Xiao didn't understand what this meant. When he saw Xi Yunting's surprised expression, he realized what Hua Baisui meant.

"Huang Yanxue is dead?" Chen Xiao asked in surprise.

Hua Baisui hummed, "She is too stubborn."

Xi Yunting asked, "Is it suicide?"

Hua Baisui sighed again, "Not long after she left the Yue family, she took advantage of me not paying attention and severed her own heart meridian and died."

"What's going on?" Chen Xiao couldn't understand.

Tang Rugang praised Huang Yanxue for her decisiveness. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Huang Yanxue was not the kind of person who would risk her life to commit suicide for love.

Yue Hanyu is not dead yet. She can't just die just because her son is grown up and can survive without being raised, right?

"Shi Changbin and Huang Yanxue were both from Xuwu's side. When the two of them were out training, Shi Changbin harmed Huang Yanxue. It was a disciple of mine who passed by and rescued her and brought her back to Luochen Great Heaven Realm, thus saving her life."

Chen Xiao realized it later, "Did Shi Changbin not know that Huang Yanxue was pregnant at that time?"

Hua Baisui nodded, "It was because of the serious injury at that time that the fetus was affected in the mother's body, that Ke Ran's spiritual roots are so poor and he is unable to practice at all."

"Huang Yanxue has been bedridden for more than ten years and has not recovered. Her son has been taken care of by my disciples. According to her request, Ke Ran has never known his own life experience. I think at that time, Huang Yanxue had already made a decision to kill Shi Changbin for revenge and then commit suicide."

Chen Xiao finally understood, "She doesn't want Huang Keran to know that he has a father who killed his wife for fame, and a mother who killed his father?"

Hua Baisui said, "Her spiritual roots were severely damaged, and she was haunted by inner demons, and her cultivation had regressed significantly. She had long been determined to die, and this time she went to die after realizing her wish."

Hua Baisui was unable to save Huang Yanxue's tragedy and could only try his best to take care of Huang Keran and seek a good future for him.

Not many people knew that the Feng Shui techniques of the Dongyu School could enable people without spiritual roots to cultivate immortality. Also, because Chen Xiao had the strong backing of the Zhongxuan School, the news did not spread.

It was also because of the importance that the Chongxuan Sect attached to Chen Xiao and his relationship with Xi Yunting that Hua Baisui made such a polite request.

The reason why Chen Xiao was able to live a peaceful life for such a long time was because the connections he made were all powerful. After coming to Luochen, he had close ties with the three major sects, so no one took any risks.

In order to protect him, those who knew the situation kept the secret strictly.

In fact, according to Chen Xiao’s idea, if more people come to learn Feng Shui, it will just expand the Feng Shui business.

Of course, the premise is that he is willing and there can be no coercion.

This time Hua Baisui recommended a disciple to him. After hearing the introduction, Chen Xiao already had a preliminary impression of him. Moreover, the latter had a tragic life story that aroused sympathy, so there was no reason for Chen Xiao to refuse.

He said: "Since Senior Hua has entrusted me with this, I will accept this disciple."

Hua Baisui clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, okay, Master Chen is really a straightforward person. Don't worry, Ke Ran is a very smart child. You won't regret accepting him as your disciple!"

After saying this, Hua Baisui stood up and said, "I won't disturb you two from resting. See you another day."

Before Chen Xiao could react and stand up, Hua Baisui disappeared from his sight.

The speed was so fast that even the naked eye could not leave any afterimage. Chen Xiao was shocked.

Patting his chest to calm his frightened heart, Chen Xiao said, "Are all the body movements of the great tribulation masters so outrageous?"

The Duxu Daojun I had seen before was powerful, but that was in terms of his great magical powers. When he walked and came and went, he sounded normal, like a cultivator, not as magical as Hua Baisui, who came and went without a trace.

Xi Yunting smiled and sent him a voice transmission: "With the ability of a person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, not only is the speed fast, but the coverage of the divine consciousness is also very wide."

What you mean is that if we talk nonsense here, I wonder if Hua Baisui somewhere might hear it?

Chen Xiao grinned and said nothing. He silently got up and climbed onto the bed, pulling the quilt over himself and pretending to be dead.

Xi Yunting chuckled, stood up, took off his coat, and turned off the lights.

The next day, after the six of them got together, two of them did not mention the fact that Hua Baisui had been there.

After a brief discussion, the six decided to split into three groups and investigate in different places.

Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting went to the residence of the deceased monk named Shan Li, Chen Ziyi and Taoist Zhenlu went to the store that purchased the salt and soil, and Tang Ru and Tong Nuonuo went to several places that the monk often went to.

Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting spent a day in the city but did not find out any useful information.

The monk's neighbors had been asked the same question over and over again many times. If it weren't for the high level of cultivation of Chen Xiao and the others, the other party would not have dared to lose their temper and would have exploded in impatience long ago.

The dead monk's house had been turned upside down, and not even a piece of paper was left, leaving the two men with nothing.

Standing in this small courtyard, Chen Xiao seemed to be lost in thought.

Xi Yunting asked him in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Chen Xiao turned around, smiled and said, "Nothing, I just think Shanli's home is really lonely."

Isn't it true? A bachelor without any family who often goes out has no atmosphere of life at home and even very little household expenses.

Xi Yunting glanced at him and said nothing.

Chen Xiao smiled again and said, "Let's go."

The two stayed here for a day, and when they returned to the inn, the other four had already returned.

Tong Nuonuo drooped his shoulders in frustration, "This person is too lonely. He basically doesn't say anything extra to others except for necessary conversations."

Xi Yunting said: "Shanli's neighbors don't know much about him, and they even less often meet him."

Chen Ziyi said: "There is no further news about that store, but I did know another thing. Several weapon refiners in Green Water City have disappeared."

Tong Nuonuo was stunned and said, "Do you want to start from the weapon refiner to investigate the magic weapon that Shan Li wants to make?" He was a little annoyed, "It seems that we are a step late."

Chen Ziyi said: "After Shan Li died, the person who made the weapon refiner for him became the next target. If we can get the list of materials from him and check them one by one, we should be able to know where he ended up."

Chen Xiao put his finger on his lips and asked Chen Ziyi: "Shan Li's assets seem average, does he have a storage bag?"

Chen Ziyi smiled and said, "How can ordinary cultivators afford storage bags? Naturally, they don't have them."

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up slightly, and he leaned forward and asked, "What did he carry with him when he died?"

Chen Ziyi paused for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you want to ask if he had any materials on him? This information is semi-public. When Shan Li died, he had nothing on him except some money, medicine, and food for training."

Chen Ziyi said with certainty: "The trip that brought the salt soil containing the broken star sand probably did not yield the materials he wanted."

Chen Xiao pointed his finger at his chin: "It is said that he has been collecting materials for a long time. It is impossible that he has not collected any materials yet? He doesn't carry them with him, so where are the materials he collected before?"

Chen Ziyi was slightly surprised and said, "You mean he hid the materials he had collected?"

Xi Yunting turned his head and looked at him, saying, "Please ask Fellow Daoist Chen to find out if there is any information about this part of the material."

Chen Ziyi immediately stood up and said, "This shouldn't be difficult to ask. I'll go right away."

Regardless of the fact that it was already late at night, he opened the door and went out.

Tang Ru leaned on the table curiously and asked, "Xiaoxiao, did you find anything?"

Chen Xiao smiled mysteriously and said, "It depends on what news Fellow Daoist Chen gets back."

Chen Ziyi was indeed a local boss, and he got the news back in just one night.

He said excitedly: "I have inquired everywhere. No matter which part of the hands, no one has reported that this part of the material has fallen into his hands. It should still be placed in the storage place. I inquired very carefully and no one discovered my intention. This should be a new clue!"

Tong Nuonuo chuckled: "This time, no one should compete with us."

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "That's not necessarily true. There may be smart people in this world. Besides, if my guess is correct, those materials are still hidden in Shan Li's home, but there are so many eyes watching, so it's not easy to do anything."

Chen Ziyi was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief: "Is it hidden in his house? But his house has been searched by many people and all the valuable things have been taken away. It is impossible for such an important thing to be left behind." Otherwise, how blind one would be!
