【Chapter 055】Separating a Couple
"sure."
Ye Xian did not reject Nangong Chenyu's kindness.
When he guessed that his wife was a monk, he asked a Taoist priest with great accomplishments to help check her qualifications.
The man initially said that he was too old, and even if he had spiritual roots, the best time for cultivation had passed. Moreover, there is no spiritual energy in the mortal continent, so it is not possible to practice. He refused to check on him no matter what.
In the end, thanks to his money, the man helped him check, and the result was that he had no spiritual roots.
Not giving up, he sought help from several other monks, but they all got the same result.
"Just put your hand here." Nangong Chenyu pointed to the table.
Ye Xian extended his hand as he was told.
He subconsciously closed his eyes and waited for the pain to come.
The next moment when Nangong Chenyu's hand rested on his wrist, the imagined pain did not occur. On the contrary, his whole body seemed to be washed by a warm current, making him feel very comfortable.
Ye Xian was puzzled.
This... why is it different from the experience of the previous monk's inspection?
When those monks examined him before, all the meridians in his body would ache. Every time after the examination, he would feel exhausted for a while.
What Ye Xian didn't know was that the cultivators he invited were all low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. They were not at all proficient in the use and control of spiritual energy, and could not do it as freely as Nangong Chenyu.
It can be said that after those low-level cultivators examined Ye Xian, Ye Xian was lucky that his meridians were not damaged.
When Nangong Chenyu withdrew his hand, Ye Xian still felt a little unsatisfied.
Nangong Chenyu saw the regretful look on Ye Xian’s face and was somewhat confused.
"Don't I have spiritual roots?" Ye Xian asked.
“You originally had spiritual roots.”
Nangong Chenyu didn't expect that he had guessed it right, and couldn't help but give Ye Xian a sympathetic look. The spiritual roots of both father and son were dug out. Ye Yishen was luckier than Ye Xian because Ye Yishen had grown new spiritual roots.
"I originally had spiritual roots." Ye Xian repeated in a low voice: "That means I don't have spiritual roots now."
“That’s right, your spiritual roots were dug out when you were very young.” Nangong Chenyu said.
Ye Xian felt as if he was struck by lightning, and broken images flashed through his mind. It was so fast that he couldn't catch it, and he shook his head.
The monk who examined him before only said that he had no spiritual roots, but did not see his specific condition. In this case, Nangong Chenyu is more powerful than those people.
He asked with a glimmer of hope: "Chen Yu, can I still practice in this situation?"
Knowing that Ye Xian wanted to practice cultivation even in his dreams, Nangong Chenyu thought for a moment and said, "Of course you can, but you need to find your spiritual roots and put them back into your body."
What Nangong Chenyu didn’t say was that he had read in ancient books about a person who had no spiritual roots but also embarked on the path of cultivating immortals and finally succeeded in ascending to heaven. That person was able to practice because he obtained a treasure from heaven and earth that could replace his spiritual roots.
According to legend, the greatest treasure of heaven and earth was conceived in the chaos when heaven and earth were first created.
Anyone who can get it is a person of great luck.
Compared to the illusory treasures of heaven and earth, Nangong Chenyu felt that it was more reliable to retrieve his spiritual roots.
"Ah...this..." Ye Xian was in trouble.
He didn't even know who dug out his spiritual roots, so how could he get them back? In other words, even if he knew who dug out his spiritual roots, he would not be able to dig them back.
Ye Xian suppressed the bitterness in his heart and sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about my business for now." He felt that he might not be destined to practice cultivation.
Without waiting for Ye Xian to say anything else, Nangong Chenyu took the initiative to say, "I agree to your request just now."
If those big forces knew Ye Yisheng's qualifications, they would definitely scramble for him. However, for Ye Yisheng's safety, Nangong Chenyu felt that it would be better for Ye Yisheng not to test his spiritual roots.
The Moon Spiritual Root can absorb spiritual energy of all attributes of heaven and earth, and then let Ye Yisheng pretend to be a common spiritual root.
"Okay." Ye Xian said two good words repeatedly.
After resolving one of his concerns, his worries increased instead of decreasing. I no longer had the desire to continue chatting with Nangong Chenyu.
"Chen Yu, I'll leave Yisheng's matter to you. During your time in the Ye Mansion, tell Butler Du if you need anything."
"I understand." Nangong Chenyu naturally saw that Ye Xian wanted to chase him away, so he said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Okay." Ye Xian stood up and saw him off: "If you need money, just go to the account office and withdraw it."
Speaking of silver, Nangong Chenyu suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, father-in-law, all the treasures in the small space are still with me."
As he said this, he glanced at the eldest son in the study and found that there was no room for all the boxes. Then he said, "Please find a spacious place so I can move the boxes out."
Ye Xian waved his hand: "No need to take it out. When you go to Lingyuan Continent, you can exchange the silver for spirit stones. Although you can't exchange much, it's better than nothing. When the time comes, you can give some to Yisheng."
Hearing this, Nangong Chenyu did not delay: "Alright!"
He knew very well how much spirit stones were consumed in cultivation.
After Nangong Chenyu went out, Ye Xian called Ye Yishen into the study again.
As soon as he entered the study, Ye Yisheng asked, "Father, what did you talk about with Young Master Nangong for so long?"
"I asked him to go to Lingyuan Continent and take you with him when he joins the big forces." Ye Xian did not tell his eldest son about his spiritual roots. His eldest son had just started practicing, and he was afraid that his eldest son would know and take risks.
"You two chatted for a quarter of an hour, and that was all you talked about?" Ye Yishen asked suspiciously.
Ye Xian asked back: "What else?"
Ye Yisheng knew he couldn't get the answer, so he could only change the subject: "Then why did you ask me to come in?"
"When you go to Lingyuan Continent and join a big force, you can practice on your own. Don't bother Chen Yu if you can avoid it. He has helped our family a lot, so don't make others dislike you." Ye Xian reminded.
Ye Yisheng said speechlessly: "Father, my current cultivation is still far from the foundation-building stage. Isn't it too early for you to tell me this now?"
Ye Xian was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "I just want to tell you that you are excellent, but Nangong Chenyu is not someone you can dream of. He is well-spoken and knows everything, but he is not from the same world as you."
Before, he was thinking that if Nangong Chenyu liked his eldest son, he would let his eldest son marry him to repay him for saving his life.
But after meeting Nangong Chenyu and talking with him, he felt that his eldest son was not worthy of Nangong Chenyu. The most important thing is that Nangong Chenyu doesn’t have that kind of intention towards his eldest son.
Ye Yisheng pursed his lips and said, "Father, I have no other intentions towards the Second Young Master Nangong."
Ye Xian patted Ye Yisheng on the shoulder and said, "You may be able to lie to others, but I, your father, am not blind. I can see through your little tricks, right?"
When his eldest son looked at Nangong Chenyu, the hidden admiration in his eyes was the same as when he looked at his wife back then.
Since he had been seen through, Ye Yisheng simply admitted generously: "I am also a cultivator now. He and I are from the same world."
Before he became a monk, he didn't dare to even think about it. But now that he can practice, why can't he dream about it?
Ye Xian rubbed his eyebrows. It was obvious that his eldest son was angry.
Ye Yisheng said faintly: "Father, do you want to break up the couple?"
"I'm trying to break up a couple?" Ye Xian was so angry that he laughed: "Are you and Chen Yu a couple?"
"Not now, but definitely in the future." Ye Yisheng said firmly.
Ye Xian just felt embarrassed to watch: "Where do you get your confidence from?"
"I have a good aptitude for cultivation and I am also handsome." Ye Yisheng is very confident in himself.
Ye Xian: “…” How come his smart and wise eldest son is like a peacock?
Ye Yisheng assured: "Father, don't worry, I will practice hard to find mother as soon as possible."
"Don't do anything rash." Ye Xian said anxiously, "Chen Yu saved your life, don't do anything out of line."
Ye Xian was worried that his eldest son would use some coercive means against Nangong Chenyu. He knew his eldest son's character too well. He looked gentle on the surface, but was actually cruel and ruthless.
Ye Yisheng touched his nose: "...Father, do you have any misunderstandings about me?"
"There is no misunderstanding." Ye Xian warned: "Yisheng, remember, I, Ye Xian's son, can be cold and ruthless, but I must never be ungrateful."
"Father, I know what I should do and what I shouldn't do." Ye Yishen said helplessly.
"It's good that you know." Ye Xian waved his hand: "Okay, go and do your thing."
"Then I'm leaving!"
After returning to Yiranju, Ye Yishen went to find Nangong Chenyu.
At that time, Nangong Chenyu was leaning on a chaise longue, eating dried fruits and reading a storybook, feeling very comfortable.
Sensing Ye Yisheng's aura approaching, Nangong Chenyu raised his head from the storybook and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I don't really know the spells you taught me before. Can you teach me again?" Ye Yishen looked at Nangong Chenyu with anticipation in his eyes.
"Okay." Nangong Chenyu agreed verbally, but he was very confused in his heart. He had clearly seen Ye Yishen know how to do it before, so how come he suddenly can’t do it anymore?
The two walked to the backyard of Yiranju.
There was no one else in the backyard, not even Xiaoliu and Xiaoshun followed. The two of them entered the formation that Nangong Chenyu had set up with jade, one after the other.
"Which spells don't you know?" Nangong Chenyu asked directly.
Ye Yisheng: "Earth Escape Technique."
Nangong Chenyu immediately demonstrated the technique.
The day passed quietly.
At night, when Ye Yisheng was about to rest, someone knocked on the door.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
"Enter."
Zhong Ming walked into the room: "Young Master."
Seeing Zhong Ming sweating profusely, Ye Yisheng asked, "What happened?"
Zhong Ming: "The latest news is that in ten days, a secret realm will be opened in Xiqi. Those monks who suddenly appeared in Xiqi are heading for the secret realm."
"Is the news reliable?" Ye Yishen said solemnly.
"In Xiqi, this news is no longer a secret."
After a pause, Zhong Ming continued, "The royal family of Xiqi is recruiting martial arts masters in a big way. Our people have learned that it was those monks who asked the royal family of Xiqi to recruit martial arts masters, and they want those martial arts masters to enter the secret realm together."
