Mother-in-law's opinion on her son-in-law
In the depths of the main hall of the Li Yuan Realm, where chaotic energy permeates the air, Fang Qingyu and Yun Zhiruo sit facing each other at a tea table carved from ten-thousand-year-old tranquil jade.
The fragrant tea on the table emitted wisps of steam, its aroma soothing and delightful, but neither of them was truly focused on tasting it.
“Zhiruo, look at those young friends…” Fang Qingyu tapped the jade table unconsciously with his fingertips, his gaze piercing through the void and landing on the young people in the distance.
Yun Zhiruo smiled gently, but her eyes held a hint of a mother's caution and consideration: "That child Ye Wuyang is indeed unfathomably strong, and he and Li'er were Daoist partners in their previous life, so he should be the best choice. However..." She frowned slightly, "His temperament is a bit too cold. He can't even make a sound when you hit him with a stick. How will he know how to be warm and caring in the future? I'm afraid it will be a waste for our Li'er."
Fang Qingyu nodded, then turned his gaze to another direction: "Shen Yunzhou is indeed a sharp-witted person with a pure sword heart and a sincere desire to protect others. However..." he pondered, "His eyes are too sharp, and his possessiveness seems a bit too strong. Like a drawn sword, he may be too rigid and easily break. He still needs to be tempered."
“That boy from the Ji family,” Yun Zhiruo chuckled, “is simple-minded and straightforward, with a strong and vigorous spirit, and he is genuinely good to Li’er. It’s just that…” she shook her head helplessly, “he seems to be too honest and straightforward, lacking a bit of shrewdness. I’m afraid he will have difficulty protecting Li’er in the future.”
"As for Xie Chen..." Fang Qingyu paused, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, "Exceptionally intelligent, calm and composed, he plans everything carefully before acting—a promising prospect. But..." His voice deepened, "...his mind is too deep, making it difficult to see his full character. And with Li'er's lively nature, I wonder if they complement each other or..."
Just then, Fang Yan strode in. Hearing his parents' discussion, he immediately became a sister-obsessed brother, his eyebrows furrowing: "What are you looking at! In my opinion, none of those boys are good enough for my sister! Humph! My sister deserves the best!"
Fang Qingyu glared at his son, annoyed, "Get out of the way! This is none of your business." But deep down, he also agreed, thinking that his precious daughter was lacking in everyone else.
Meanwhile, beside a chaotic spiritual eye in the family's secret realm, Fang Li sat cross-legged, her aura steadily and rapidly increasing.
Back in her family, resources were plentiful, with a constant supply of all sorts of rare and unheard-of elixirs and chaotic crystals. Her injuries had long since healed, and her cultivation was recovering at an astonishing speed. She was not far from returning to her peak.
Ye Wuyang would always appear silently not far away, sometimes placing down a few top-grade ice marrow immortal crystals that could calm the mind, and sometimes just standing quietly for a moment, looking at her intently for a while before quietly leaving.
On this day, Fang Li had just finished a round of meditation when she felt an ice-type Daoist aura approaching.
Ye Wuyang appeared silently, placing a "Radiant Ice Marrow" radiating cold energy on the stone table beside her, and said succinctly, "It will be beneficial to your tempering of your divine sense." After saying that, he didn't linger and turned to leave, but before leaving, his gaze swept lightly in a certain direction outside the courtyard.
He had barely left when a clear, melodious sword cry echoed from outside the courtyard. Shen Yunzhou "happened" to be practicing his sword nearby, and an incredibly refined sword intent "accidentally" cleaved through a clump of unsightly trees outside the courtyard. The residual energy of the sword precisely cleared the meridians of a spiritual plant in Fang Li's courtyard. He sheathed his sword and stood there, looking at Fang Li in the courtyard: "The way of the sword also requires a balance of tension and relaxation. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me."
Immediately afterward, Ji Qianqiu's booming voice rang out: "Junior Sister! Look what good stuff I brought you!" He excitedly ran in carrying a large piece of rare beast meat, still dripping with golden blood and radiating immense life force. "Just hunted the heart meat of a Mountain-Shaking Kui Ox! It's incredibly nourishing! I guarantee you'll gain a lot of strength after eating it! I'll have the kitchen make you some soup right away!"
Finally, Xie Chen walked over leisurely, waving a jade fan, and casually handed over a jade slip: "I just deduced the celestial phenomena and found that in the next three hours, the chaotic energy in the southeast 'Qiming' position of the secret realm will be the strongest, which will be twice as effective for you to nurture your Dao foundation."
Fang Li looked at the table piled high with heartfelt wishes and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Tongzi! This sweet burden... (facepalm) Which should I eat first? Which should I practice first? The pressure is immense!"
The system rolled around excitedly in her mind's eye: [Host! Is this the joy of having a harem? Ahhh! Only children make choices!]
This lively scene naturally caught the attention of many members of the Liyuan clan.
The surrounding clansmen appeared busy with their own affairs, but in reality, they were secretly watching this scene with their divine senses. Each of them wore a smile, their eyes exchanging knowing glances: "Look, look! Miss's started again!" "Whose gift pleased Miss more today?" "I bet a piece of Chaos Jade, it's Young Master Xie Chen! His timing was perfect!" "I bet it's Young Master Ye! Those ice crystals are so beautiful!" "I think it's Young Master Ji's flesh! Miss seemed to swallow hard just now!"... Undercurrents flowed, a scene of merriment unfolded.
Despite the playful banter, business was not delayed.
A few days later, a decision-making meeting concerning the future was held in the main hall of the Fang Clan. In addition to Fang Qingyu and his wife, Fang Yan, and Fang Li, Ye Wuyang, Shen Yunzhou, Ji Qianqiu, and Xie Chen were also invited to attend, and all the elders gathered together.
"The Celestial Court has never given up its desire to destroy us, and the henchmen of the Sky Patrol Division will eventually find us by chance." Fang Qingyu said solemnly, "Sitting idly by and waiting for death is definitely not a good strategy."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After some discussion, a strategy was finally decided: using the Chaos Ancestral Land of Liyuan Realm, which has been cultivated for countless years, as a foundation, and utilizing its unique environment and resources, everyone should do their best to restore their cultivation and improve their strength.
At the same time, leveraging the connections and resources accumulated by the Li Yuan Fang Clan, they secretly contacted and integrated all possible anti-Celestial Court forces.
Other reclusive ancient clans that have also been suppressed, alliances among the ascendants who have been oppressed, and even some immortal sects that are dissatisfied with the hegemony of the Immortal Court are quietly accumulating strength and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack!
"This matter requires careful consideration and should be carried out discreetly," Xie Chen said thoughtfully.
"My fists have been itching for a long time!" Ji Qianqiu rubbed his fists together, eager to fight.
Shen Yunzhou tapped the scabbard lightly with his knuckles, his eyes sharp.
Ye Wuyang nodded slightly, her icy eyes growing even colder.
Fang Li sensed the growing tension and determination within the hall, and a fighting spirit surged within her as well.
With the overall situation initially stabilized, everyone felt somewhat at ease and had a clear goal in mind.
Just as the meeting ended and everyone was preparing to disperse and go about their respective cultivation practices.
Buzz!
A swift streak of light pierced through the layers of barriers of the Li Yuan Realm and landed in Fang Li's hand! It transformed into a communication jade talisman that shimmered with spiritual light!
The aura of True Person Qingxuan was clearly discernible on the jade talisman, yet it was filled with unprecedented anxiety and panic!
Fang Li's expression changed drastically, and she immediately read the message.
