"Xiaoguai, Ziqing, come here quickly and tell Grandpa Zeng what happened last night. What woman or witch is it, and how is it related to Ah Xi? You two should tell me in detail and not hide it from this old man." When General Zhou saw the perfect couple appear in front of him, a bright smile broke out on his face.
"Grandpa Zeng, you should ask Grandpa Xi about this first. Ask him why he didn't sleep last night and who he went to see." Zhou Yuanyuan walked quickly to General Zhou, crouched down, and whispered something in General Zhou's ear.
Although she said it was a whisper, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't lower her voice at all. Several people in the room heard it.
Zhou Xi's face looked a little embarrassed.
Zhou Xi had kept his relationship with He Jingjing a secret from his family. He Jingjing had said she could help him with that matter, so Zhou Xi was desperate and was looking for help.
"Axi, can you tell me what you did last night?" General Zhou asked with a stern face.
"Master, I..." Zhou Xi said halfway and looked at Zhou Yuanyuan for help.
Zhou Yuanyuan had already turned her head away, pretending not to see Zhou Xi's "call for help".
"Master, I... I'm going to find He Jingjing. Do you remember He Jingjing? She is the granddaughter of He Shumin who was taken away by the fairy to practice Taoism." Seeing this, Zhou Xi had to tell the truth to General Zhou.
Zhou Yuanyuan's expression changed slightly as she listened. Zhou Xi mentioned He Jingjing's identity as someone who was taken by a fairy lady to cultivate immortality, which revealed that Zhou Xi was attracted to He Jingjing's "immortal skills".
"Yes, He Jingjing! I remember that she followed Wu Xiuyun to practice Taoism. When did she return to Kyoto City?" General Zhou nodded.
General Zhou still had a memory of He Jingjing. She'd bullied his daughter Xiaoguai when she was little, and when she grew up, she'd tried to steal Xiaoguai's fiancé—not at all endearing. General Zhou had even complained to Zhou Xi before, saying that He Jingjing had other flaws except that her taste was just as good as his daughter's, and that she'd fallen for Wen Ziqing.
Logically speaking, Zhou Xi is not a person who can't distinguish between inside and outside, right? He knew that he didn't like He Jingjing, so why would he hide his contact with He Jingjing from me?
General Zhou's curiosity was also aroused.
"Master, I have something to say to the young lady. Could you please step aside for a while?" Zhou Xi saw that the matter could no longer be concealed, so he could only take the initiative and send General Zhou away first.
"Axi, you and Xiaoguai have a secret that you don't want to tell me? It makes me so sad." General Zhou shook his head and sighed deliberately.
"Master, I..." Zhou Xi wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to begin. Before gaining Zhou Yuanyuan's support, Zhou Xi couldn't reveal a single word about this matter. Otherwise, Zhou Xi was afraid that General Zhou would be unwilling to cooperate.
"Forget it, forget it. Old people are annoying. Ziqing, help me sit on the rooftop." General Zhou stretched out his hand towards Wen Ziqing.
"Okay, Grandpa Zeng, please be careful where you step." Without Zhou Yuanyuan's instructions, Wen Ziqing quickly took a few steps forward and held onto one of General Zhou's arms.
"Let's go, let's go. Ah Xi doesn't like the old man and doesn't tell him anything. The old man is going upstairs to see the flowers." General Zhou deliberately said a few words loudly, holding Wen Ziqing's hand and walked out.
Zhou Xi opened his mouth, but in the end, he just watched General Zhou walk out of the room without saying a word.
General Zhou walked out of the room, deliberately making his steps noisy. After walking a distance, General Zhou stopped.
Wen Ziqing was about to ask a question, but General Zhou made a gesture to silence him.
When Wen Ziqing asked General Zhou with his eyes, General Zhou showed a mischievous smile on his face.
General Zhou pointed to Zhou Xi's door, took Wen Ziqing's hand, tiptoed back, and stood outside Zhou Xi's door to eavesdrop.
In the room, after Zhou Xi heard General Zhou walk away, he said to Zhou Yuanyuan, "I have something that I would like to ask the young lady for help. I hope that the young lady will help me out of our long-term friendship, okay?"
"Grandpa Xi, just tell me what's the matter! I will definitely help if I can." Zhou Yuanyuan's answer was a bit slippery. She didn't say that she would definitely help, nor did she say that she wouldn't help.
There's no way around it. This is how monks are. They can't make promises casually.
Zhou Yuanyuan knew without thinking that what Zhou Xi was going to say next would definitely make her embarrassed.
"Miss, the master's health is getting worse day by day. Ah Xi has no other wishes but that the master can live a long and healthy life." Zhou Xi expressed his meaning implicitly.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't understand what Zhou Xi meant, so she sighed, "Yeah! I also hope that my great-grandfather can live a long life, but unfortunately, his body is dying, and no medicine can help."
When Zhou Xi saw the regretful look on Zhou Yuanyuan's face, hope and joy flashed in his eyes.
"Miss, He Jingjing said that there is a method of soul exchange in the world of cultivation. Even if the body of a cultivator dies, the soul can find a younger body to continue living. Zhou Xi has no other request in this life. I only hope that Miss you can take action to exchange Zhou Xi's soul with the master's. In that way, the master will not have to die." Zhou Xi gritted his teeth and finally expressed his request.
"Grandpa Xi, do you want to give your body to Grandpa Zeng?" Zhou Yuanyuan was moved.
Zhou Xi's body became younger after he underwent the arduous marrow cleansing and meridian cutting.
I believe Zhou Xi will never forget the pain he went through during the marrow cleansing and meridian removal process. Moreover, how precious is a person's life?
For General Zhou, Zhou Xi was willing to give up his perfect body, which he had obtained after going through thousands of hardships. Should we say that Zhou Xi is loyal? Or should we say that Zhou Xi is ignorant?
"Yes, young lady, He Jingjing said that she knew the method of soul-swapping, which could allow the master and I to swap souls. I was afraid that the master and young lady would not agree, so I secretly went to find He Jingjing, wanting to learn her method of soul-swapping." Zhou Xi nodded and told He Jingjing the purpose of his previous contact with her.
Poor Grandpa Xi, he didn't know that "He Jingjing" came to him under the guise of teaching him martial arts, but in fact she coveted his body! Zhou Yuanyuan showed sympathy.
Soul swapping, to put it simply, is body possession in the world of cultivation.
Zhou Yuanyuan had only heard of cultivators taking away the bodies of mortals, but had never heard of mortals taking away the bodies of cultivators.
No matter how powerful a cultivator's soul is, he will still experience considerable consumption during the process of taking over another body.
General Zhou is just a mortal, and as his deadline is approaching, not only is his body extremely weak, but even his soul has become extremely weak.
Don't say Ling Xiaotian's soul-swapping technique was a trick to trick Zhou Xi. Even if Ling Xiaotian really was willing to perform the spell to swap Zhou Xi's soul with General Zhou's, General Zhou's soul might have dissipated after leaving his body. How could it possibly enter Zhou Xi's body and be reborn?
