Yuanjing died in a zombie siege during the apocalypse. To gain a chance at rebirth and rewrite his life,
Yuanjing agreed when the demon—oh, no, the system—offered him the opportunity.
...Chapter 402
Of course, Chen Anchen asked people to look for Qi Yunyun's whereabouts in the name of caring about his disciples. In the eyes of other disciples, he is a good master who cares about his disciples. Some disciples also envy Qi Yunyun for being so lucky to have such a good master.
At this time, Yuan Jing and Ning Yan came to Taiyi City. When the two Chen family members in Taiyi City fell into their hands, Chen Anchen, who was called by Xu Zhaoyue again, felt his eyebrows twitch and had a bad premonition in his heart, but he thought that this premonition came from Xu Zhaoyue's side, and Xu Zhaoyue was going to lose his temper with him again.
Xu Zhaoyue is now extremely gentle and considerate in front of Zuo Wenlu, as if he has become a completely different person from before. However, Chen Anchen knows very well that Xu Zhaoyue's nature has not changed at all. He just vents his accumulated temper on them. However, he needs to cling to the big tree of Xu Zhaoyue, so he can only bite the bullet and endure it.
In fact, he was also laughing at Zuo Wenlu in his heart for being blind. Although he had a high talent for cultivation, he could not see clearly the true faces of people around him. He used to dislike Xu Zhaoyue very much, but when Xu Zhaoyue acted gentle and considerate, he was actually touched. Xu Zhaoyue had even been injured for Zuo Wenlu before, and he could see that Zuo Wenlu cared about Xu Zhaoyue more.
In fact, Xu Zhaoyue is still one of those arrogant, selfish and vicious women.
Sure enough, Xu Zhaoyue got furious again after seeing Chen Anchen, and whipped him with a whip: "Useless! You can't even take care of a person, and let him run away. I haven't found him yet. What use do I have for you?"
Sweat rolled down Chen Anchen's forehead, but he didn't dare to resist. If he resisted, he would be finished in Taiyi Sect, and Elder Xu would definitely not forgive him.
"I was wrong. I will pack up and go out to look for Qi Yunyun. I will definitely get rid of her completely out there."
"Humph, this is your last chance. If you can't do it again, all of you will get out of here."
"Yes, thank you for your generosity, Junior Sister. An Chen will definitely bring back the girl's head."
Chen Anchen endured the pain and left, wanting others not to see the injuries on his body and not to let anyone know that Xu Zhaoyue was so cruel in private.
But only he knew that if he could turn things around one day, he would definitely return everything he was enduring now to Xu Zhaoyue double, no, ten times!
Just after he returned to his cave and healed his wounds, he received a message from two clansmen in Taiyi City, asking him to come over to discuss something with them. Chen Anchen thought that he was going out to look for Qi Yunyun, so he could stay in Taiyi City.
The talents of those two tribesmen were not very good, and it was difficult for them to achieve great success even after entering Taiyi Sect, so he arranged for them to do business in Taiyi Sect. After all, their expenses were very high, and this was an opportunity he got after he got close to Xu Zhaoyue. Otherwise, without a backer, the store would not have been able to open. Now he is under the banner of Elder Xu, and everyone will respect him.
Chen Anchen left alone. If he had asked Chen Zhilan and others before leaving, he would have found that they had also received the summons and might have been more alert.
But after they arrived at the shop one after another, they were not able to come out safely. They were all knocked unconscious by Ning Yan's casual sword energy. They didn't even have a chance to see who attacked them because the difference in strength was too great.
Seeing the Chen family members lying together in a row, Yuan Jing sighed, "It was these people, including the Prince Jing's Mansion, who were so unattainable to the Zuo family in Wuqing Town at the time. They didn't even do anything themselves, but all the members of the Zuo family died in the sea of fire. No one could even tell the truth, and no one knew why they died."
Although he knew that Yuan Jing was speaking from Zuo Yuanjing's perspective, Ning Yan was clear that Yuan Jing was also affected by the original body's emotions, and if the original body's resentment was not resolved, Yuan Jing would also be affected. He had experienced this firsthand, and after dealing with Lu Herong, he felt relieved.
He put his arm around Yuan Jing's shoulders and said, "Now it's their turn to pay the price. This is what happens when they treat human life with contempt."
Yuan Jing nodded and said, "Yes, the eighty-six dead souls of the Zuo family will all be watching with wide eyes."
In Taiyi Sect, Xu Zhaoyue, who had vented her anger on Chen Anchen, turned around and regained her gentle side. She came to Zuo Wenlu's cave with the spiritual food she had prepared herself. Zuo Wenlu put down what he was doing and welcomed her in. He said with concern, "Your injuries haven't healed yet. Don't do these things yourself. Can't you let the people below do it?"
Xu Zhaoyue pursed her lips and smiled: "I like to cook for you myself. Seeing you finish the spiritual food I made makes me happier than anything else."
Zuo Wenlu showed a helpless yet gentle look: "You, I really can't argue with you, sit down and eat together, my junior sister's cooking skills are getting better and better now."
Xu Zhaoyue was extremely happy, her eyes sparkled. In fact, many of the new dishes were made by Qi Yunyun for her senior brother in the previous life, in the name of honoring the master. But this time she had no chance. No matter those dishes or her opportunities, they would be snatched away by her one by one.
Zuo Wenlu was eating the new dishes developed by Xu Zhaoyue. In fact, he felt very touched by the thoughtfulness. His junior sister really changed a lot for him, especially the last time when they were in danger, she stood in front of him without hesitation. When she spit out blood and fell into his arms, he could not ignore her deep affection.
Now that he thinks about it, it is not a bad thing to have Junior Sister Xu accompany him in practicing. Perhaps when Junior Sister Xu reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he can consider forming a pact with her to practice the Great Dao together.
A night passed, and at dawn the next day, something happened in Taiyi City.
No one knows who discovered it first, but someone hung the Taiyi Sect's disciples on the city gate, seven in total. Their cultivation was completely abolished, and their crimes were written on their bodies, shocking everyone who saw it.
Who on earth is so bold as to attack the disciples of Taiyi Sect? Among them are inner disciples, and they are hanging at the gate of Taiyi City. It is simply a slap in the face of Taiyi Sect. How can Taiyi Sect let it go?
"Who is this Xu Zhaoyue? And who is this Zuo Wenlu?"
"I heard that you are new here, and you were not well-informed before, so you didn't even know these two people. Xu Zhaoyue is the beloved daughter of Elder Xu of Taiyi Sect. He is the only daughter of her, so you know how precious she is to you, right? Zuo Wenlu is a genius disciple of Taiyi Sect, and his talent is second only to that of Sect Master Ning Yan of Jingyan Sect. Moreover, Xu Zhaoyue and Zuo Wenlu have a close relationship now, and maybe they will hold a ceremony to form a double cultivation pact someday."
"But doesn't it say here that Zuo Wenlu has already married and had children, and that the entire Zuo family in the mortal world was destroyed by people sent by Xu Zhaoyue? Even so, Zuo Wenlu can still form a pact with Xu Zhaoyue? Even if his clansmen die, they will be angered by his behavior and come back to life, right?"
"These... these mortals are nothing. People who come from the mortal world and join a sect of cultivation cut off all ties with the mortal world."
"Since you've severed ties, why would you allow someone to set fire to and kill all 86 members of the family?"
"Be careful, she is Elder Xu's beloved daughter. Be careful that Fairy Xu hears you and doesn't treat you kindly."
"Let's not talk about Fairy Xu, let's talk about Zuo Wenlu. I used to think he was a brilliant cultivator, a role model for cultivators of my generation, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. Although there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and he cut off ties with the mortal world after cultivation, you can't ignore the fact that his entire family was wiped out, right?"
Those gathered at the city gate had not discussed for long before the city guards appeared, shouted the crowd away, took down the person hanging there, and quickly reported to the sect.
They all looked very unhappy. There were people patrolling at night, but no one noticed the movement at the city gate. Who on earth did this to ruin the reputation of Taiyi Sect?
The matter involves Elder Xu's beloved daughter. It is estimated that none of the city guards will have a good time and will be blamed by Elder Xu.
And if the matter was true, they couldn't understand Xu Zhaoyue's train of thought. It had nothing to do with the people of the mortal world, so why would he go to the trouble of wiping out the entire Zuo family?
They didn't know that Xu Zhaoyue was more jealous of Zuo Wenlu's wife and son in the mortal world. She was overbearing and could not tolerate anything that happened in the past. She wanted these people to disappear from this world forever.
In her opinion, she was just an ordinary and lowly woman in the mortal world. How could she be qualified to be Senior Brother Zuo’s wife? Not even when Senior Brother Zuo was still a mortal. She was even less worthy of giving birth to a child for Senior Brother Zuo. The child, who was an ordinary person, was not worthy of having Senior Brother Zuo’s blood flowing in his body.
Although the person was taken away, the city guards could not keep the monks from talking about such a serious matter. By the time they sent the person to Taiyi Gate, the whole city of Taiyi was in an uproar.
Originally, many cultivators thought that Fairy Xu and Zuo Wenlu were a perfect match made in heaven, that is, after Fairy Xu changed her personality. But now after knowing about this past, these cultivators felt as if they had eaten a fly. Although they did not think there was anything wrong with Zuo Wenlu abandoning his earthly wife and forming a pact with another person in Taiyi Sect, if he formed a pact with Xu Zhaoyue, they would feel that Zuo Wenlu also had a stain on him, and was no longer the glorious cultivator they knew.
Some female cultivators even defended Zuo Wenlu: "Xu Xianzi must have done it in private, and Senior Zuo was completely unaware of it. So this matter has nothing to do with Senior Zuo. He was completely implicated."
"Will Zuo Wenlu still form a pact with Xu Zhaoyue? How will he treat Xu Zhaoyue? Will he avenge his people?"
"This..." The female cultivator who spoke for Zuo Wenlu was speechless, not knowing how to continue to explain and defend him.
This incident directly alarmed the headmaster, because it involved Elder Xu's beloved daughter and another Nascent Soul cultivator. The headmaster was shocked and angry and immediately sent a message to Elder Xu and Zuo Wenlu, and asked Elder Xu to bring Xu Zhaoyue with him and quickly come to the meeting hall.
Xu Zhaoyue thought that the master asked her and her father to come over to discuss the matter of forming a contract, and she felt very happy in her heart. However, Zuo Wenlu's eyelids had been twitching since the night before, and he always felt that something bad had happened to him.
When he arrived at the meeting hall of the main peak, he saw seven people who had lost all their cultivation lying on the ground in the hall, and he didn't understand why.
When Elder Xu and his daughter arrived, Xu Zhaoyue saw Senior Brother Zuo first. She quickly ran to him and called him Senior Brother sweetly, which made the Sect Master's eyelids twitch. After hearing Zuo Wenlu's response, she noticed something strange in the hall. She turned her gaze to the seven people on the ground, and saw Chen Anchen lying there unable to move. Her face changed, but only for a moment, and she quickly became righteous.
Even if what she did was exposed, what would it matter? She had her father's support, so even the head of the sect wouldn't blame her too much. At this time, Xu Zhaoyue only thought that the matter targeting Qi Yunyun was exposed. She had long forgotten the matter of the Zuo family. Was it worth her bothering to remember it?
