Chapter 50050 Illegitimate Child
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
After leaving the Floating Cloud Secret Realm, Xie An and the other two devoted themselves to cultivation in seclusion. Except for him who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, the other two were in the late stage of the Golden Core. Their talents were already outstanding among their peers.
The system has not issued any tasks in the past three years. The matter related to Wei Shizhou seems to have disappeared quietly with time, and no one knows where Jiang Qingwu went.
After Shi Hua refined the Nine Realms Snow Lotus into elixir, he went into seclusion.
The state he fell into after failing to transcend the tribulation was completely recovered under the effect of the Nine Realms Snow Lotus. His body felt much lighter. Feeling the enormous spiritual power belonging to the cultivator who transcended the tribulation, Shi Hua's heart finally settled down.
Only when her cultivation level is restored can she better protect the world of immortal cultivation.
In the past three years, after she came out of seclusion, she had nothing to do, so she occasionally went to instruct Xie An and the other two. They were quite talented and learned things quickly. Without Shi Hua, she turned around and ran to Qingxuan, burning a lot of Qingxuan's materials for making incense, and was ruthlessly driven out by him.
Jin Qing took his apprentice out of the sect, and Chi Qingxuan was busy with the sect's tedious affairs. The only person left to chat was Wu Ji.
Shi Hua had heard a little about Wu Ji and his apprentice Shi Yanzhi, and even found a storybook from Qin Xiyan that was about these two people.
What a touching story.
Shi Hua: “…”
Forget it, she should just go back to the Immortal Palace and lie down.
Until Chi Qingxuan sent a message asking her to go to the meeting hall.
"I'll have to trouble Senior Sister to preside over this Xianle Ceremony."
The Xianle Ceremony is one of the few important celebrations in the Xuantian Kingdom. The immortals from various sects take turns to preside over it, not only to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony, but also to show it to the wandering cultivators in the Xuantian Kingdom and recruit disciples for their own sects' next round of enrollment.
This time, it is the turn of the Xuanyin Immortal Sect to host the Immortal Music Ceremony.
Shi Hua looked over and saw that besides Xie An and the other two, there was also a tall and thin disciple with a red collar and dressed in black. He looked quite similar to Wu Ji.
There is no need to guess, you know that this person is the disciple of Immortal Lord Wu Ji - Shi Yanzhi.
When Shi Yanzhi joined the sect, he was already in the middle stage of the foundation building stage. After so many years of practicing with Wu Ji, he made rapid progress and is now in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.
If you count carefully, Shi Yanzhi should be the one with the highest cultivation among his peers.
But he became a disciple late, so he still had to respectfully call Mo Qiuyi "senior sister".
Shi Hua looked away: "Junior brother, do you want me to take them with me?"
Ding Dong!
[A new plot arrives. The vicious female supporting character thinks she has gotten rid of the male protagonist, but unexpectedly runs into him again in Xuantian Kingdom. She is panicked and ready to attack him again!]
The specific tasks have not been updated yet.
According to the progress of the plot, it will take another two months to reunite with Wei Shizhou.
Let's put the painting aside for now.
Chi Qingxuan: "It's good to go out and gain more experience... Yanzhi, Wuya Book Pavilion caught fire some time ago, and your master will be in trouble for a while, so you should go with the Immortal Master."
In fact, it was Wu Ji who ran over and begged Chi Qingxuan to speak.
The sect leader had spoken, and Shi Yanzhi had no choice but to obey.
Chi Qingxuan knew everything about the two of them, and he couldn't bear to see Wu Ji suffer from Shi Yanzhi every night, so he agreed out of kindness.
"yes."
Shi Yanzhi responded in a muffled voice.
Shi Hua flipped through the gold-embossed letter, his fingertips lingering on a certain spot. "Everyone go back and pack up. We'll leave in two days...Xie An, you stay."
Xie An stood there at a loss.
I felt uneasy when I heard about the fairy music ceremony.
Shi Hua looked at the words "Emperor's younger brother Xie An" on the letter and sighed imperceptibly.
It seems that the plot is progressing to Xie An and Xie Wanmian, but I don’t know if it will be different from the original plot.
"Xie An, you are most familiar with the Xuantian Kingdom. Your two royal brothers also stated in their letters that you will lead the way. What do you think?"
The news that Xie An became the disciple of Immortal Master Shuyu should have spread throughout the Xuantian Kingdom a long time ago. Their intention in raising this point was very obvious. They wanted to use the title of Xie An as the disciple of Immortal Master Shuyu to warn the children of other families.
Ultimately, it's his family matter.
Xie An came to his senses and did not notice anything unusual, so he accepted the proposal calmly.
"Then follow what the two royal brothers say."
Shi Hua said no more and told him to go back and pack his bags.
*
The current Emperor Xuan of Xuantian Kingdom has three sons and one daughter. The fifth princess was only ten years old when Xie An left to become his disciple. She was most attached to her brother Xie An, the emperor of the same age, and cried for a long time because of this, insisting on following him to become his disciple in Xuanyin Immortal Sect.
After being locked up for three days by her two royal brothers, she became obedient.
In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed. The little princess has grown into a graceful and beautiful young lady, standing out among the crowd, bright and lovely.
Even Emperor Xuan loved her dearly.
The two sides of the city gate were separated by guards.
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince stood at the front, with the important ministers coming to greet them behind them, showing their respect for the Immortal Master Shuyu.
The fifth princess stood among them.
"When will the fourth brother arrive?"
She waited anxiously for several hours.
The prince shook his head slightly, signaling her to be quiet.
The one coming is the Immortal Master Shuyu from the world of immortal cultivation, so we must not neglect him.
Suddenly, a spiritual power fluctuation came from afar. It was Immortal Master Shuyu telling them that they were about to enter the city.
Everyone looked respectful.
Not long after, Xie An was seen standing beside a man. The man was wearing a wide-sleeved green shirt, with an immortal figure. The naturally hanging cuffs fluttered slightly. His stunning face was cold and indifferent, and he quietly looked at the crowd below.
This is roughly what an immortal looks like.
The young monks behind her were all extraordinary in appearance.
The prince bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Immortal Venerable."
Shi Hua glanced around and saw that all she saw were wandering cultivators fascinated by her.
After all, Immortal Master Shuyu is the goal that all cultivators in the world strive to cultivate towards.
"Immortal Venerable, the house is ready, please come this way."
The fifth princess, who was hiding behind her two royal brothers, curiously stuck out half of her head, a little afraid of Shi Hua's majestic aura.
Is this the fourth brother’s master?
Shi Hua noticed the little princess's surprised look.
He nodded slightly and followed the prince away.
The second prince was walking behind and inadvertently passed by the monk behind Shi Hua. When he saw a familiar face, he couldn't help but frown.
Watching the prince lead them into the attic, he turned his head and said something to the eunuch.
The prince was so tired from the journey that he didn't dare to talk to them. After simply expressing his welcome to Shi Hua, he asked the eunuch to take them to their respective rooms.
Turning around, I saw the Second Prince standing in the dark with a unhappy look on his face.
Their open and covert fighting has been going on for ten years. They can be enemies or brothers. They know too well what the other's eyes want to express.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you see the young man behind Xie An?"
The prince recalled carefully: "I have some impression, but I didn't look carefully..."
The Second Prince's voice was slightly cold: "Do you still remember what Mother said, that Father had an illegitimate child who was living abroad?"
After Xie An withdrew from the fight for the throne, the two of them began to compete secretly and fought for the throne for ten years. It was rare that Emperor Xuan showed his intention to issue a succession letter.
Although the prince is in the position of prince, he is still a little short of it in the eyes of Xuanhuang. The succession letter has not been issued yet, and the prince is not at ease.
Six years ago, a rumor suddenly spread in the palace that Emperor Xuan had an illegitimate child, but no one knew whether it was true or not. Emperor Xuan never admitted the truth of the rumor. Empress Xuan felt like there was a thorn in her heart and was always uncomfortable. She even became quite cold towards Emperor Xuan.
After so many years, they all thought the rumors were untrue, but now, an illegitimate child related to the Xuan Emperor suddenly appeared, and when the Xuan Emperor was about to establish a succession certificate...
The prince's face darkened a little: "How confident are you?"
Second Prince: "Eighty to ninety percent."
"I just sent someone to investigate. That person's surname is also Xie. There aren't many cultivators with the surname Xie in the world. It's not surprising that Xie An couldn't see it. We have been under the Emperor's wing for many years. That person's eyebrows and eyes resemble the Emperor's, and they also bear some resemblance to Xie An."
How can we be similar to strangers if we have no relatives or friends?
The answer seems clear.
The second prince lowered his eyes and stared at the spider web in the corner. The spider was very small, seemed to have just reached adulthood, and was struggling to weave a web.
"He is about the same age as Xie An."
"The surname is Xie, and they look similar."
"Father has never denied the matter of the illegitimate child."
The second prince smiled with an ambiguous meaning, and the moment he raised his eyes, a cold light flashed across his eyes.
"Royal brother, you probably don't want one more person among us, right?"
*
In order to welcome the arrival of the immortals from various sects, Xuanhuang specially built this attic, and the materials used are all precious.
The rooms of the four immortals are on the top floor, quiet and not easily disturbed.
Shi Hua wanted to think about how to arrange the subsequent plot, so he went back to the house first and asked the eunuch to take them there.
Xuantian Kingdom is Xie An's home, but he doesn't seem to like it very much.
The mood has been very low.
But he didn't want Shi Hua to worry about him, so he tried to cheer up.
Shi Yanzhi flicked the dust off his sleeves and tilted his eyes: "Junior Brother Xie Wanmian, you don't look well."
Xie An was not the only one who was in a bad mood.
Shi Yanzhi was not familiar with them and had no intention of getting close. He stood at the back and saw the best, and was keenly aware of what was going on between Xie An and Xie Wanmian.
Since they all have the surname Xie, it’s easy to overthink things.
Qin Xiyan was worried: "Junior brother, are you okay?"
She looked at the eunuch.
"Can you go to my junior brother's room first?"
The eunuch glanced at Xie An nervously, his smile unnatural: "Of course."
When the eunuch took them around to the back of the attic, Xie An finally realized something was wrong. He was quite familiar with the attic, as he had played hide-and-seek here when he was a child. The rooms at the back of the attic were generally used to store discarded items.
What is Xie Wanmian's room?
Several people looked at the gray room. The smell of dust in the air made their noses itchy. Even a dumb person could see that Xie Wanmian was deliberately arranged to live here.
It was obvious that no one had cleaned this room. Even the bed was moved in temporarily, and there were signs of moving everywhere.
Why?
This sentence flashed through Xie An's blank mind.
On the other hand, Xie Wanmian pursed his lips tightly, and his hands hidden behind his back were clenched so tightly that they hurt.
At the city gate, the gazes he noticed were correct. He had indeed aroused the suspicion of those two people... Could they just not tolerate him?
Shi Yanzhi covered his nose and walked out.
"Oh, Junior Brother Xie An, your two royal brothers don't seem to welcome Junior Brother Xie Wanmian."
Shi Yanzhi always speaks in a strange tone. I don’t know if it’s his nature or for other reasons, but it really makes people uncomfortable to listen to him.
Qin Xiyan remained silent.
Over the years, she has had some vague guesses.
"I'm going to find my brother and the others—"
Xie An rushed to the side of the prince and the other two.
He ran all the way here, but didn't see any eunuchs accompanying him. The Crown Prince and the Second Prince would never be alone in the same space. They disliked each other and could not tolerate each other at all.
The feeling that something was wrong was growing stronger.
As I approached, I suddenly heard a conversation.
"Royal brother, you don't want to have one more person competing, do you?"
"Now that he's here, it's easy to investigate. When we find out, what are your plans, my royal brother?"
It was the voice of the Second Prince, followed by the Crown Prince's voice.
"Just now the eunuch told me that you arranged for him to live behind the attic?"
The Second Prince chuckled: "I don't acknowledge him as my younger brother."
Behind the attic...brother...
Xie An's emotions collapsed, and his breath leaked out, which was noticed by the two people inside.
"who?!"
