Chapter 779 Lu Yuan's Whereabouts [2 Updates]

“Master has arrived.” Feng Xiu’s eyebrows twitched, he put away his fishing rod and stood up. “I thought Master would be gone for a long time.”

Ying Zijing paused for a moment: "Xiao Xiu, you—"

“Master, birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural order of things.” Feng Xiu could naturally sense the changes in his body. He smiled slightly and interrupted her, “If it weren’t for your appearance, how could I have lived for so long?”

He looked relieved, without a trace of resentment: "It is my greatest fortune to have met my master in this life."

Ying Zijing remained silent for a long while before speaking: "Perhaps you would have been better off without meeting me."

“It was my master who saved me back then. If I hadn’t met my master, I would have died young.” Feng Xiu smiled again. “Although I am getting old, I only have a few years left.”

"But as long as I am here, I will protect this ancient martial arts world and will not let your hard work be destroyed."

He never even considered that he would see Ying Zijin again.

With his wish fulfilled, Feng Xiu had no regrets.

Ying Zijin gazed at the emerald green lake without saying a word.

Only the wise are beings who come close to immortality.

Whether it's ancient martial arts or alchemy, they are simply pushing the human body to its limits.

A lifespan of five hundred years is indeed impossible to increase further.

“Master, I will not accompany you to the City of the World.” Feng Xiu said solemnly, “Although you say that the enemy is in the shadows and is very powerful, it is hard to guarantee that the ancient martial arts world will not be invaded one day in the future.”

"Although I can't compare to the combat-type sage you mentioned, I can still hold them off for a while if I'm a support-type sage."

Ying Zijin turned around: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

She took out a few medicine bottles from her pocket and handed them over, saying, "Keep these safe."

Feng Xiu naturally wouldn't refuse and accepted it. He then joked, "I can't stay with Master for long, but Junior Sister has a long time to live. Maybe she can even help Master take care of the children."

He paused, then said, "Master, I just heard about the Lin family matter from the Grand Elder. I will handle it, so you don't need to worry about it."

With hundreds of thousands of people in the ancient martial arts world, how could there not be a few mentally challenged individuals?

If you don't have that, then you're living in paradise.

“Alright.” Ying Zijin nodded slightly. “I will go to the ancient medical community again to teach a new acupuncture technique.”

**

In less than half a day, all the ancient martial arts practitioners had assembled, and they were all masters of ancient martial arts.

There are a total of 30,000 people.

Almost all the ancient martial arts practitioners with a cultivation period of over a hundred years were present.

If all 30,000 of them went out, they could roam freely across the seven continents and four oceans.

The Martial Arts Alliance had the most representatives, followed by the Yue family.

Ling Mianxi glanced around and, not finding Yue Fuyi, asked, "Where's Fuyi?"

Butler Yue smiled and said, "Miss Fuyi is in seclusion. We can't find where she is in seclusion either. I will tell her when she comes out."

"Even if Miss Fuyi and Miss Mianxi are not close friends, given her personality, she would definitely go to such an event."

Ling Mianxi nodded.

Fu Xi stepped forward respectfully: "Master."

Ying Zijing took out the gold and silver needles: "Let's begin."

Hundreds of ancient doctors began to administer acupuncture to the ancient martial artists.

In just one day, they helped five thousand ancient martial arts practitioners achieve breakthroughs.

Ying Zijin pulled out the last needle, her forehead covered in sweat.

"Take a break." Fu Yunshen took out a tissue to wipe her down. "We can continue tomorrow. Don't push your body too hard."

He then handed her a bottle of juice.

Ying Zijing took it and drank a sip.

My phone beeped at that moment, and two WeChat messages came in.

[May]: Spinning around.jpg

[May]: Master, I have figured out your father's whereabouts!

Ying Zijing's eyes narrowed, and she immediately made a phone call: "Hello?"

“Master, it’s in China.” Fifth Month said somewhat dejectedly, “But I still can’t pinpoint the exact location. I guess we’ll just have to search for it.”

"It's alright, you've done very well." Ying Zijin smiled lightly. "China is still smaller than the entire Earth."

Lu Yuan is Su Wen's unresolved issue.

If Lu Yuan cannot be found, Su Wen's body will eventually collapse.

Holding her phone, Ying Zijing suddenly spoke: "Brother."

Her voice was cool and her tone was steady.

Yet it possesses an extremely strong allure, gradually assaulting the eardrums.

Hearing that address again after so long, Fu Yunshen paused, his back tensing, before finally asking, "What's wrong?"

“Yueyue has figured out my father’s whereabouts,” Ying Zijin said. “I need IBI to do facial recognition.”

However, Lu Yuan has no identity in China and is not recorded in the IBI database, making this a huge undertaking.

Fu Yunshen's back finally relaxed: "Okay."

For some reason, I felt a little regretful.

So that's all there is to it.

Ying Zijing narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, then suddenly moved closer, seemingly lost in thought: "Sir, you're blushing."

"Hmm, you're blushing." Fu Yunshen hugged her and placed her on his lap. "Want to call out again?"

"I'd better not call out." Ying Zijin yawned and rested on his shoulder. "I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it and you'll turn into a beast in a bit."

"..."

**

Three days later.

The City of the World.

The Academy of Sages.

The horoscope turned once more, and the priestess issued her third warning.

The Sage's Lover is about to return!

Norton listened indifferently and made no comment.

“Norton, you know now?” Sara turned her head, her voice icy. “Your lover was one of the culprits of the Holy War back then. We absolutely cannot let her come back. We must get rid of her before she recovers.”

Norton chuckled coldly: "You're so useless you can't even figure out who your lover is, how are you going to kill them?"

"Therefore, it's better to kill ten thousand innocent people than to let one guilty person go free." Shaluo's tone was chilling. "Starting tonight, eliminate everyone returning to the city from outside!"

Norton's eyes narrowed sharply: "Are you kidding me?"

“I’m not kidding, the workload is huge,” Sara said. “I’ve asked Ta to come and work with you.”

“No need.” Norton turned away, his tone indifferent. “Don’t let anyone bother me.”

He left the Sage's Abode and returned to the villa.

Then I saw Suwen packing her luggage and coming out of the door.

Norton paused. "Is the First Madam leaving?"

“Yes, Yaoyao will be back soon, so I won’t trouble you any more.” Suwen smiled. “Yaoyao said she can get back tonight, and I was thinking of going back to cook her a meal.”

Norton recalled Sara's words, his eyes turning slightly cold: "Tonight?"

It doesn't matter who the wise man's lover is.

The important thing is that he only stands on Ying Zijin's side.

“Yes,” Suwen said. “It’s really been a lot of trouble for you to take care of little Xina.”

Norton said lazily, "You're too kind, Madam."

Sinai tugged at Suwen's clothes, not wanting her to leave: "Sister-in-law."

“I will have Yaoyao come to see you.” Suwen squatted down. “Don’t be afraid. Look, Mr. Francis can even cook. You are a picky eater just like Yaoyao, so I won’t worry.”

Sinai: "..."

Suwen certainly had no idea how long she had been eating such bizarre food.

For Norton, she was just a tool to hone his culinary skills.

In particular, she also had to guard against Norton exposing her.

After giving his instructions, Suwen left the villa with his guards.

"Stop looking, we're going too far." Norton bent down. "What are we having for dinner tonight?"

Sinai raised her little head: "If I told you, would you do it for me as I wish?"

“Yes, that’s true.” Norton gently patted her head. “No.”

"..."

She knew it.

Sinai ignored him and went back to the living room.

Norton took the ingredients out of the refrigerator and went into the kitchen.

Thirty minutes later, he came out with the dishes: "Kid, dinner's ready."

There was no response.

Norton looked down and saw the little girl sprawled on the sofa, with several overturned wine bottles beside her.

There's beer, and there's also baijiu (Chinese liquor).

There was also a lot of fruit, as well as pastries made by Suwen.

Sinai had fallen into a deep sleep, her cheeks flushed.

“What’s with this kid drinking alcohol? He can’t even hold his liquor, yet he dares to drink mixed drinks.” Norton clicked his tongue. “What a nuisance.”

He picked up Sinai with one hand and threw her into the bedroom upstairs.

Then I went back to the lab and started doing experiments.

Ying Zijin sent him a lot of dissection tools, which came in handy.

Norton frowned slightly.

However, he has not yet found a suitable catalyst for the antidote.

I wonder when the antidote will be invented.

"Thud—"

Something fell down.

Norton's ears twitched. He put down the vial and went upstairs.

His hearing is very sensitive.

Even from this distance, he could hear the sound of Sinai kicking the blanket to the ground.

Kids will be kids, they can't even sleep still.

Norton pushed open the door, bent down to pick up the blanket from the floor, and turned around.

It's still that same bed.

On the bed, the woman, dressed in her pajamas, was curled up asleep.

The moonlight outside the window fell on her platinum blonde hair, illuminating her face.

I forgot to mention yesterday that I've been quite busy lately, so I usually only update twice in the morning.

I got more and more stuck as it got closer to the end; I'll definitely prioritize the quality and quantity of the plot over its quantity.

See you tomorrow~
