Feng Chu's idea was indeed very childish.
In this life, his parents had probably been reincarnated countless times. His birth mother died young, and Feng Chu had few memories of her. His biological father, misled by slander, had always abused him. He had never experienced much paternal or maternal love throughout his childhood. After meeting Xie Chen, he unconsciously began to regard Xie Chen as his father.
Of course, he would never admit it, even if it meant his death, that he considered Xie Chen, his master, to be like a father to him.
So when A Yao told him that Xie Chen had been his father in many previous reincarnations, and that his former mother, Lou Xin Yue, who was Lou Yue's mother in that life, had become the Wood Spirit, he wanted to bring Xie Chen and the Wood Spirit together so that he would have both parents.
Xie Chen was very unhappy about it.
Xie Chen didn't believe he was anyone's reincarnation at all. It wasn't that he didn't believe what A Yao said. But just as A Yao didn't believe she was Yan Tang, in Xie Chen's view, the past life was the past life, and this life was this life. Everything about his past life had nothing to do with him now.
He had considered uprooting the wooden spirit and throwing it away several times. But if he did that, Feng Chu would definitely have a falling out with him. So, he could only suppress that thought.
"Master, how can I find out about my past life? And who was I in my past life?" Xu Mubai asked from the side.
Feng Chu: "..."
"Your past life? Your past life was the evil of all the heavens and worlds. In your previous life, you were an utterly wicked bastard, constantly plotting to destroy the world." Of course, Feng Chu would never say such a thing, so he laughed it off and said:
"Well, how can I explain this to you? This question is too profound. You haven't even become an immortal yet. I'll explain it to you when you reach the Immortal Emperor realm."
Xu Mubai didn't press for details right away. He nodded and respectfully said, "This disciple understands."
Xu Mubai and Feng Chu stood beside the spiritual spring, gazing at the enormous flower bud for a long time before leaving.
After leaving Xie Chen's palace, Xu Mubai returned to his cave and began his secluded cultivation. He stayed in the Sword God Palace for ten thousand years, and after ten thousand years, Xu Mubai had already reached the Immortal King realm. His cultivation speed was extremely fast. Feng Chu and Xie Chen both knew that he was the reincarnation of Lou Munan, so they were not too surprised by his cultivation speed.
For the past ten thousand years, Xu Mubai rarely left the Sword God Palace, and he rarely thought of A Yao. Staying by Feng Chu's side, he reverted to the gentle and refined young gentleman he had always been. He got along very well with the disciples of the Sword God Palace, and even Xie Chen's expression towards him unconsciously became much more amiable.
————
Phoenix Palace.
On the enormous phoenix tree, countless colorful phoenixes danced gracefully. Beneath the tree, a jade-colored table stood, and two people were playing chess beside it. Ayao held the white pieces, while Feng Chu held the black pieces.
While playing chess, Feng Chu kept talking about Xu Mubai:
"My disciple is quite popular now. He went out for a while and came back not long ago. Someone actually proposed marriage to me. The patriarch of the White Tiger clan asked me indirectly if I was interested in arranging a marriage between my disciple and his daughter."
Feng Chu smiled and deliberately winked at A Yao.
A Yao's expression remained unchanged, and Feng Chu deliberately added, "Also, my senior brother Chu Tian's two female disciples also like my disciple very much, and they are always fighting over him. Yesterday, Chu Tian even joked that maybe his two female disciples should cultivate with my little Bai Bai."
Chu Tian is Xie Chen's junior disciple, making him Feng Chu's senior brother. Over a million years ago, Chu Tian was already at the Immortal King realm, and now he has entered the Immortal Emperor realm.
Ayao looked at Feng Chu and said, "You're saying all this just to get me to see Xu Mubai? I see he's quite happy by your side. After all these ten thousand years, he's probably forgotten all about me."
She knew that although Xu Mubai was partly Xu Fengzhi, he was more like Lou Munan.
For Lou Munan, his nephew was the most important person. Xu Mubai had been searching for her for thousands of years, spending those thousands of years in a state of depression and despair. But as soon as he met Feng Chu, he became happy and happily stayed in the Sword God Palace for ten thousand years. She thought that if another ten thousand years passed, he probably wouldn't even remember what she looked like anymore.
"So, you really don't want him anymore?" Feng Chu asked.
Ayao said, "Children shouldn't concern themselves with these love and romance matters."
Feng Chu said unhappily, "I'm not young anymore, I'm over a million years old."
"They've only grown older, not smarter," Ayao said with a light laugh.
"you……"
Feng Chu grimaced, almost wanting to smash the chessboard. He crossed his arms and said angrily, "Fine, when I get back, I'll choose a Daoist partner for my little Bai Bai. I'll choose a hundred prettier ones than you."
Ayao chuckled: "A hundred, you'd be lucky to find even one woman prettier than me."
Feng Chu: "...You're really narcissistic."
"I'm just telling the truth," Ayao said with a smile.
Feng Chu snorted. Although Feng Yao was quite narcissistic, he had never actually seen a woman more beautiful than her. In over a million years, he hadn't encountered one. Finding Xu Mubai a hundred Daoist partners more beautiful than Feng Yao was truly going to be difficult.
"I heard that the Holy Spirit of the Tree is still planted in your master's palace. It's been so many years, and he has actually managed not to pull it out. That's really something," Ayao said with a smile.
“He dares,” Feng Chu said.
“The Holy Spirit of the Wood is about to be born. But after she is born, are you sure you can let her be with your master? I think your master is quite disgusted with her,” A Yao said.
Feng Chu said:
"I started to get used to him after a while. Didn't he always find fault with me? I didn't find fault with him either, but we've been together for over a million years, haven't we? Anyway, he's so cold and aloof, like everyone owes him a debt from several lifetimes ago. In all these years, no female immortal has ever been interested in him. They've all been scared to death by him. As his disciple, I'm trying to help him find a Daoist partner. I'm being so filial, but he doesn't even appreciate it. He's really difficult to deal with!"
As she spoke, Feng Chu sighed, and A Yao chuckled softly like a silver bell.
"Hey, you haven't come to my Sword God Palace in so long. Tell me, do you not want to see my little Bai Bai, or is it because you abandoned him after starting something and you're too ashamed to face him?"
Ayao looked at Feng Chu and said, "Why are you going back to this issue again? I think I'm in a great state right now. Look at your apprentice, he's so happy every day, which proves that he's in a great state too. Neither of us can't live without the other."
“I’ve figured it out. He’s not my Xu Fengzhi, and he doesn’t need me.”
Ayao gazed into the distance and murmured softly:
"It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to cling together in hardship."
