Chapter 44
Luo Tiantian was scorned and angry but dared not argue back. She bowed down and flattered, "Yes, yes, Madam is right. How could I be worthy of becoming an immortal? What I mean is that Second Young Master can go and become an apprentice. After all, Luo Hengzhi can fly, so Second Young Master... will definitely be even more powerful."
Luo Ming also believed that he was hundreds of times stronger than Luo Hengzhi. If he cultivated immortality, perhaps the fairy sister would fall in love with him.
Luo Ming straightened his collar, putting on an air of being about to attain immortality, and said, "Mother, I want to become your apprentice here. When I have completed my studies, I will be able to heal Father's leg. At that time, I will be highly regarded by Father. As for you, I will also persuade Father to add your name to the family genealogy."
"Get on the family tree." The shrew's eyes lit up and her blood was boiling when she heard that she could get on the family tree. "My son can definitely do it. As for your apprenticeship... Mom will take care of finding out and will definitely send you and your brother to become apprentices."
Upon hearing that Luo Ming also mentioned Luo Yan, his face instantly turned cold: "Mom, Father is injured, and it's precisely the time for Brother to establish himself in the company. He absolutely cannot leave the company. Once I become a god and Brother takes control of the company, then the Luo family... won't the three of us be the ones calling the shots?"
The shrew suddenly realized what was going on and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I was confused. It's better for your brother to stay at the company, while Xiao Bao can go and cultivate immortality on his own."
......
"Master, Eldest Sister, Brother-in-law." Yan Yan had just emerged from seclusion, his cultivation having broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and now firmly established in the mid-Foundation Establishment phase!
Master Yunqing looked at his disciple, his eyes filled with satisfaction: "Hmm, not bad!"
"You've reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment! You've made rapid progress!" Ye Zi praised.
Master Yan and Senior Sister praised him at the same time, and he scratched his head and smiled shyly.
Hearing the sound, Xiao Shenmu and Jiang Yuzhi came out from inside. When they saw their master carrying Yu Jun, the two little ones were stunned for a moment.
Jiang Yuzhi: "Master, Yu Yun... she wasn't eliminated?"
Master Yunqing placed the person on the stone bed and said, "This is the original owner."
"The original owner is still here?" Little Shenmu hurriedly surrounded him enthusiastically. "Then my senior brothers and I will take care of him together. Once the original owner wakes up, he will be our real junior brother."
"The original owner has really woken up. I wonder if he'd still be willing to be a junior brother to a three-year-old baby." Jiang Yuzhi, holding Xiao Cen Guan, also went over.
Xiao Shenmu: "I don't care, I'll just stick to him and call him 'Junior Brother' until he agrees. I don't have many junior brothers to begin with, and I can't lose even one!"
"Master, Master." Long Bao and Huo Feng flew to Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi's shoulders and sat down steadily.
Fire Phoenix: "Master, is the Phoenix Condensing Fire Seal useful?"
Ye Zi: "Yes, the Phoenix Condensing Fire Seal is very useful. The reason we were able to deal with Yu Jun so smoothly this time is all thanks to the Phoenix Condensing Fire Seal you gave me, Fire Phoenix."
"Absolutely! When it comes to things from my Phoenix family, we either don't act, or we eliminate them completely!" Fire Phoenix raised her chin proudly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuzhi turned around and said, "I didn't expect to resolve the Yu Yun issue so easily. We were quite worried."
"This time, we owe it all to your senior brother-in-law!" Ye Zi looked at Luo Hengzhi and smiled brightly.
Luo Hengzhi was staring blankly at Ye Zi's smiling face when he suddenly met Ye Zi's eyes. His heart skipped a beat as if struck by lightning, and his rhythm was completely disrupted!
Luo Hengzhi silently clutched his chest. He must be bewitched. He couldn't help but pound his heart whenever he saw Ye Zixin, just like a young boy experiencing his first love!
"I knew my brother-in-law was the best! He's incredibly amazing!" Little Shenmu didn't know what his brother-in-law had done, but he just kept praising him without thinking.
Jiang Yuzhi also wanted to praise her senior brother-in-law, but Wang Xiaoshenmu beat her to it: "You're so sweet-talking, you've said all the nice things."
Little Shenmu covered his mouth and giggled, "So, Senior Brother also wants to praise Senior Brother's husband? Don't worry, Senior Brother, Senior Brother knows that we all absolutely adore Senior Brother's husband."
Luo Hengzhi was overjoyed to hear the two little brats expressing their love for him with such innocent faces; his eyes and brows were full of smiles!
Yan Yan said, "Master, this immortal body... how come it's the same as Xiao Cen Guan's back then, it also lacks innate fortune."
Master Yunqing walked over and used his Qi-gazing technique. He hadn't noticed before that this person truly had no innate luck or fortune.
Natural luck, as the name suggests, is something you are born with. It can be a lot or a little, and in extremely unlucky cases, it can even be negative.
Even if one's luck is negative, as long as the root of luck still exists, luck will improve one day. Xiao Cen Guan lost his luck, but the root of luck still exists. This immortal body, however, even had its root of luck damaged. Fortunately, it can recover by nourishing the root of luck.
Stealing luck and lifespan—what on earth is this person plotting?! Ye Zi connected all the events that had occurred, but found no traceable clues, leaving no way to investigate!
Luck, lifespan, and merit—thinking of Huo Zhongkui and Old Master Jiang, Luo Hengzhi asked the question that had been lingering in her heart for a long time: "Master, what use is it to steal the lifespan of someone who has accumulated great merit?"
Upon hearing this, Master Yunqing was startled and looked at Luo Hengzhi: "Hengzhi, have you discovered something?"
Luo Hengzhi nodded, took out her phone, and found the list of people who had participated in the rescue together back then, which Huo Zhongkui had sent her.
“Master, Huo Zhongkui and Grandpa Jiang participated in a rescue operation together 20 years ago. That night, a total of 20,000 people were saved. This is a list sent by Huo Zhongkui. All the people on this list participated in that rescue operation back then.” Luo Hengzhi handed the list to Master Yunqing.
Master Yunqing glanced at the long list of names: "I need to go check on these people's current situation. You..."
"Master, let me go." Ye Zi glanced at the unconscious immortal body on the stone bed, knowing that her master still needed to stay and treat it.
The list had everyone's information and address written very clearly, even indicating which direction their location was in from Lingju Temple, so it should be easy to find.
"Be careful. It would be safer to bring them back up the mountain." Since the immortal body hasn't woken up, True Person Yunqing really can't leave.
Ye Zi: "It's Master."
"I'll go with you," Luo Hengzhi stepped forward and offered.
The last time Ye Zi went out, she almost got into trouble. He made up his mind then and there that he would never let Ye Zi go out alone again.
This was the first time Luo Hengzhi had asked to go out with her, and Ye Zi was clearly very happy, pulling Luo Hengzhi along as they walked outside.
"Master, Master, let's go too." Long Bao and Huo Feng clung to the shoulders of the two of them in unison. They couldn't be left out of the trip. Long Bao and Huo Feng held tightly to their collars, afraid of being left behind again.
"Ye Zi...wait a minute!" Luo Hengzhi suddenly squeezed Ye Zi's hand, stopped and turned around, "I have something else to ask Master."
Master Yunqing: "What is it, Hengzhi?"
"Master, I want to ask about my parents and younger brother now..." Luo Hengzhi had not been able to find any books about the underworld in the library, so he could only ask Master Yunqing.
“After you came to Lingju Temple, I investigated the situation of your family and found that they have already entered the cycle of reincarnation, but it will take three years to complete their rebirth,” said Master Yunqing. “Master originally planned to tell you about this after three years when the specific location of their reborn family was determined.”
Luo Hengzhi was relieved to hear that his parents and younger brother had entered the cycle of reincarnation. It was only three years. As long as he could see his family again, he was willing to wait!
"Thank you, Master!" Luo Hengzhi bowed deeply.
Master Yunqing helped Luo Hengzhi up: "There's no need for that. This trip... we should return as soon as possible!"
Luo Hengzhi nodded and left with Ye Zi.
"It seems like the relationship between Senior Sister and Senior Brother-in-law has gotten even better." Yan Yan said with a smile as he watched the two of them leave hand in hand.
"It seems so. Yesterday, the two of us seemed a bit awkward, but today we're much more harmonious." Jiang Yuzhi scratched her head, puzzled.
Xiao Shenmu nudged Jiang Yuzhi: "I knew Senior Sister and Senior Brother-in-law have always been a good couple."
Master Yunqing watched Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi leave together, feeling deeply moved. Previously, Ye Zi's cultivation was higher than Luo Hengzhi's, so Luo Hengzhi could only follow.
Luo Hengzhi, having been involved in the business world since childhood, possesses the innate decisiveness of a strong person. He would never compromise himself to be anyone's follower!
Now that Luo Hengzhi's cultivation talent is on display, his momentum is so strong that no one can compare with him. In the future... Ye Zi will be following Luo Hengzhi more often!
Master Yunqing didn't want to admit that his eldest disciple was inferior to Luo Hengzhi, but it was an undeniable fact that some people were born strong!
Not to mention his disciple, even Master Yunqing himself had to admit that it was only a matter of time before Luo Hengzhi surpassed him in every aspect.
The fact that Luo Hengzhi displayed his talent in formations further illustrates this point. This extraordinary talent is simply heaven-defying!
However, Luo Heng's strength is of great benefit to Ye Zi, who is his Daoist partner. Master Yun Qing has calculated again that Luo Heng's appearance has given Ye Zi a glimmer of hope in her ascension tribulation, which is comparable to a death calamity!
Ye Zi was inexplicably in a good mood, and her gaze kept drifting towards Luo Hengzhi.
"Is there something on my face?" Luo Hengzhi wondered why Ye Zi kept looking at him.
Ye Zi shook her head: "Before, I always had to force you to come out. Why did you ask to come this time?"
"I have a theory, and I want to go and see for myself." Luo Hengzhi wouldn't tell Ye Zi because he was afraid that something might happen to her if she went out alone.
Luo Hengzhi used to think Ye Zi was very powerful, incredibly powerful!
But after the incident with Yu Jun, Luo Hengzhi realized that there might be many highly skilled cultivators hiding in places they didn't know about. They could easily take Ye Zi's life with a single move, so Ye Zi needed to be well protected.
Besides, Ye Zi has only just come of age and has only recently come down from the mountain, so she certainly doesn't know how treacherous and filthy people can be!
Luo Hengzhi was different. He had witnessed family conflicts since childhood, knew the ugliness of human nature, and understood how terrible it was when people had no limits of greed!
Therefore, when Ye Zi is out and about, she really needs his protection!
Hearing Luo Hengzhi's answer, Ye Zi knew she had been overthinking things, but she still smiled. No matter what, it was good that Luo Hengzhi was by her side!
Luo Hengzhi: "Ye Zi".
Ye Zi: "Hmm?"
"Do you regret... that day when you had Long Bao take me to use the Dragon Clan's holy water to heal my leg?" Luo Hengzhi suddenly asked.
Ye Zi asked, puzzled, "Why...why would I regret it?"
"Because I will become stronger after I can cultivate." Luo Hengzhi stared intently at Ye Zi, paying attention to any subtle changes in Ye Zi's expression.
Luo Hengzhi really needed to confirm one thing: if Ye Zi was the cultivator in his dream who wanted to dig out his heart, then Ye Zi definitely wouldn't allow him to become stronger!
Ye Zi was taken aback, then a smile spread across her face. This smile dispelled the coldness around her, like a red plum blossom suddenly blooming in the cold winter with its white snow, beautiful and dazzling!
"The first time I went to the Luo family to pick you up, I found a pitiful little girl being bullied by the Luo family." Ye Zi's eyes were filled with tenderness as she slowly recalled, "But I remember it vividly. The first time I saw you, I felt that you were meant to be strong, meant to be unrestrained and flamboyant, meant to be radiant!"
After Ye Zi finished speaking, a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, so quickly that Ye Zi herself did not even notice it!
