NOVEL WEB Chapter 163 Song Chengcheng Apologizes_2
"I don't want to hear the word 'revenge' from any member of the Tan Family, especially from the descendants of Tan Fei!"
Tan Dezheng ordered with a gloomy face,
"Also, cancel all actions against the Zhao Family!"
He didn't expect this kind of accident would happen when he left home,
In the Immortal Cultivation World, one must truly be careful about everything. Sometimes, a well-laid plan can all be undone if you offend a powerful figure you cannot afford to offend!
...
Three days later, the spiritual energy vortex above Zhao Family Island grew larger and larger,
Without the harassment of the Tan Family members, Zhao Chengjing even showed signs of successful Foundation Establishment.
At the same time, news of the death of the second son of the Tan Family, Tan Fei, reached the Zhao family,
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chengyu and Zhao Chongjian were overly excited!
"Hahaha, the Tan Family invites its own destruction by committing so many evils. They bullied our Zhao Family and even provoked the evil cultivator, Jiang Hao,
Good riddance, hahaha!"
For the Zhao Family, this was indeed a good news,
At the time of the conflict between both families when the Zhao Family was at their wit's end. Their new Foundation Establishment hasn't appeared yet, but the Tan Family had lost a young promising Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Moreover, it seemed that they had provoked an enemy they could not afford to provoke,
In this way, the Tan Family would dare not be arrogant anymore for decades.
At this time, the momentum of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became stronger, the rotation speed of the spiritual energy vortex grew faster, obviously, Zhao Chengjing's Foundation Establishment has reached the final critical moment,
Chen Yi also stepped out of the Cave Mansion,
Unlike Zhao Chengyu and Zhao Chongjian's nervousness,
Looking up, Chen Yi saw the color of the Spiritual Light and could deduce that Zhao Chengjing's Foundation Establishment this time should be safe without any danger,
which was better than his expected results.
During his idle chat, Chen Yi also heard news of the second son of the Tan Family being killed by Jiang Hao,
Seeing the shocked, delighted, and slightly fearful expressions on Zhao Chengyu and Zhao Chongjian,
Chen Yi found it somewhat amusing,
However, he also pretended to be surprised and laughed along with everyone else,
If everyone believed that Jiang Hao had committed the murder, it would be even better,
Even if Jiang Hao came out to confront the matter after decades, by that time Chen Yi's cultivation level might have already outgrown this level, and he wouldn't care anymore.
After another two days,
The spirit energy vortex above began to shrink dramatically into the Cave Mansion,
Everyone knew that Zhao Chengjing had successfully established her foundation,
Chen Yi gave a faint smile and bid farewell to the two Zhaos.
He had fulfilled his last obligation to Zhao Chengjing, and it was not necessary for him to wait for her to come out,
By then, facing an awkward and yet grateful Zhao Chengjing, who might still hope that if Chen Yi wished, she would have to sleep with him,
It would be a humiliation for a Foundation Establishment elder from the Zhao Family,
Chen Yi didn't want such a scenario to occur.
Better to remember than to meet.
Moreover, now that they had both reached Foundation Establishment, they had more than a hundred years ahead. If fate wills it, perhaps they might meet again.
Chen Yi was determined to leave, and even joint efforts from Liu Huo and Zhao Chengyu could not make him stay,
Half a month later, Zhao Chengjing, a new Foundation Establishment cultivator, hurriedly left the secluded meditation, only to hear that Chen Yi had already left,
She was at a loss.
...
A few days later,
In a secret realm within the Demon Territory,
A tall figure stood with his hands behind his back, staring into the distance:
"You are saying someone had the audacity to impersonate me and kill Tan Family's early-stage Foundation Establishment?"
"Yes, Master," replied a disciple at the fourth stage of body cultivation from below. "Do you want me to take action and kill the imposter?"
The disciple made a slashing motion across his neck with his hand.
"Take action my ass!"
"Don't you have a brain, if that person could use the Ancient Fist Skill, didn't you wonder about his identity?!"
Even I can't truly execute the Ancient Fist Skill!
There was a trace of apprehension in Jiang Hao's eyes.
"Huh?" The disciple seemed puzzled, "Who's that...?"
"The person who can use such a Fist Technique and is familiar with me, most likely it's Senior Green Lotus." Jiang Hao muttered with narrowed eyes.
"Junior Two, go and fetch that boy named Chai Hui over here. Tell him I want to accept him as a disciple."
"Huh?" Jiang Hao's second disciple was confused about his master's sudden change of decision, "Master, he's just a discarded child of the Chai Family. He has been stuck in the Qi Refining Period for over twenty years and hasn't managed to Break the Foundation. Why should we accept him...?"
"Just do what I tell you! Meeting Senior Green Lotus is the greatest luck in that kid's life. Regardless of whether he has any future luck or not, we will foster him. This can be considered as establishing a good link with Senior Green Lotus."
"Junior Two, right now you aren't able to see far enough into the future. There seems to be a major issue in this world. I have a premonition that I won't be able to solve this matter with my own strength. When that time comes, we will undoubtedly need the help of Senior Green Lotus."
"Yes, Master."
...
When Chen Yi returned to Wangyue City, Song Chengcheng had already reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. On hearing about Chen Yi's return, she immediately came to Huichun Hall to express her gratitude:
"Brother Chen, I misunderstood you before and I'm here to apologize."
She bowed deeply, her face flushing red. After nearly a year, she still felt shy about the incident when Chen Yi had touched her foot. However, being embarrassed did not stop her from expressing her sincere gratitude.
Without Chen Yi taking the effort to sort out her meridians and mana, she wouldn't have been able to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment so easily. Chengcheng had wrongly suspected Chen Yi as a villain, even though he's a gentleman.
She hoped that Brother Chen would forgive her for her past misunderstandings, and promised that she wouldn't have any doubts in the future."
Although saying this might seem like she was asking Chen Yi to touch her foot again, Song Chengcheng, having experienced the benefits previously, was fully aware of how good it was.
Even if her meridians and mana were completely restored from her injuries, she would need to spend one or two years refining her mana to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. However, with Chen Yi's help, her mana became more refined. This effectively increased Song Chengcheng's mana purity once again, allowing her to break through so easily.
If there was another chance, for the sake of her future on the Great Path, Song Chengcheng would definitely agree. After all, Chen Yi had already touched her upper body and foot before, it wouldn't be the first time.
Chen Yi didn't take this matter to heart. He knew that Song Chengcheng would be thankful to him after discovering the improvement of her condition after she returned.
That Song Chengcheng started calling him "Brother Chen" instead of "Daoist Chen" was proof of her gratitude. Chen Yi merely responded with a hearty smile:
"No worries. Here, Daoist Song, try this good tea I brought back from Zhao Family Island."
"Brother Chen, how was it at Zhao Family Island? Were you in any danger?"
Song Chengcheng knelt across the tea table from Chen Yi, her slender waist, perky buttocks, long legs, and soft feet exposed for all to see.
Chen Yi caught a few glances before explaining what had happened during his trip, except he omitted the part where he impersonated Jiang Hao to kill someone. He didn't hide anything else from Song Chengcheng.
Upon hearing Chen Yi's story, Song Chengcheng expressed her shock and regret several times:
"Brother Chen, you can actually make Foundation Establishment Pills now? When did this happen?"
"I just got lucky and found a couple of them. My success rate is still too low to mention." Chen Yi replied vaguely.
"It's a pity that Daoist Liu Huo gave up on his cultivation path, sigh~"
"Right, since Sister Zhao Chengjing has successfully established her foundation, congratulations, Brother Chen. You two can continue your past relationship~"
As she finished speaking, Song Chengcheng looked at Chen Yi, her eyes sparkling, and said this sentence half-jokingly.
"That Foundation Establishment Pill represents the final bond between us. When I left Zhao Family Island, she still hadn't come out."
Chen Yi's meaning was very clear. He had severed ties with Zhao Chengjing and this time he hadn't seen her.
Upon hearing this, Song Chengcheng felt a wave of joy in her heart and she revealed a bright smile:
"Brother Chen, what are your plans for the future?"
"Well, I've currently been looking for an appropriate Cave Mansion to rent. Also, I plan to participate in Wangyue City's big auction happening two years from now. There are a few spirit materials I need."
"What a coincidence, I'm also planning to attend that auction. Let's go together two years from now~"
Song Chengcheng said cheerily while deciding to postpone her plan to return to the Qinglong Island Sect by another two years.
"Sure."
Chen Yi nodded. Having Song Chengcheng at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment from Qinglong Island Sect join him in the auction would definitely reduce the hostility he might face while purchasing items.
As for being seen too often with Song Chengcheng, this was not a concern. Everyone was familiar with them as they had known each other for almost 50 years.
