My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1471: Chapter 1385: A Troubled Autumn (Part 2)

"Even if it’s difficult, I still want to go!" Chu Chu bit her lip, refusing to back down.

Feng Jiuling frowned, speaking earnestly, "Silly child, even if you end up dying on the journey, you won’t give up?"

"Father, if I can’t make Brother Chen love me, living has no meaning. I know the path to immortality is long, but there’s always hope. I believe that if one day I become an immortal, Brother Chen will be delighted and will accept me."

"Ah..." Looking at his daughter, Feng Jiuling suddenly felt his heart throb twice, feeling some pain.

He knew his daughter too well.

Though a bit spoiled, she was extremely stubborn inside.

Once she fell for someone, she was unlikely to change her mind.

"Have you made up your mind?" Finally, Feng Jiuling backed down.

He knew that no matter how much he tried to dissuade her, it would be useless.

Chu Chu would not change her mind.

Chu Chu nodded vigorously, "I’ve made up my mind; I’m determined to walk this path."

"Then, when do you plan to leave?" Feng Jiuling suddenly seemed much older, raising his hand, his lips trembling, trying hard not to let his tears flow.

Yet, the slowly reddened corners of his eyes revealed his thousandfold reluctance.

"Father, please take good care of yourself. I won’t say goodbye to Brother Chen, I’ll be leaving soon. If one day I truly find the way to immortality, I will return and help you become immortal and enlightened too." After speaking, Chu Chu turned and walked away.

But at the moment of turning, tears gushed out uncontrollably.

Feng Jiuling raised his hand, looking at Chu Chu’s back, and in that instant, tears flowed freely.

"Sect Master, perhaps, this might be an opportunity for her," Yang Di appeared by Feng Jiuling’s side at some unknown time, comforting him, "Although Chu Chu has left, from now on, I will be your daughter. Even if one day she can’t return to care for you, I will do it for her."

Though Feng Jiuling had reached the Foundation Establishment Peak, he was not an immortal, unable to see eternal life.

Hearing Yang Di’s words, Feng Jiuling couldn’t hold back any longer, grabbing Yang Di in an embrace and began to wail.

At this moment, Feng Jiuling cried his heart out, like a child.

"Chu Chu, I just hope you can achieve your wishes, with no regrets in this life," Feng Jiuling silently prayed.

Yet, three days after Chu Chu left, Feng Jiuling received news.

The sects that were initially prepared to ally to fight the Demon Clan were unexpectedly gathering at Wan Jian Villa.

Their intentions were clear: they wanted Feng Jiuling to hand over Ye Guichen, to share the treasures Ye Guichen possessed.

Moreover, the news of an Ice Silkworm Sect’s silkworm’s death was also sent back to the sect.

The Ice Silkworm Sect Master even personally brought the sect’s experts to seek an explanation from Feng Jiuling.

Why did Ye Guichen kill someone from the Ice Silkworm Sect, yet Feng Jiuling and Wan Jian Villa still harbored Ye Guichen?

Is this to become enemies with the sects of the martial world?

Feng Jiuling could not have anticipated everything would happen so quickly.

Not yet recovered from the grief of Chu Chu’s departure, Feng Jiuling could only gather Wan Jian Villa’s experts to discuss a response.

Wan Jian Villa was gravely weakened now, with Second Master Dugu Yue and Third Manor Master Chen Qiao both dead, and the strongest remaining was only at the Foundation Establishment seventh layer.

Although Feng Jiuling had the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment ninth layer, after enduring a corpse insect attack and being severely injured by Feng Pu, he could barely exert fifty percent of his strength.

If a conflict truly arose, Wan Jian Villa might face yet another calamity.

"In troubled times, troubled times indeed!"

Feng Jiuling sighed helplessly, looking at Wan Jian Villa’s senior members around him, unable to hide the worry on his face, "Everyone, those sects are here demanding Mr. Ye, what do you think?"

"Sect Master, what’s there to hesitate? Mr. Ye has done us great favors, how could we possibly hand him over."

"Exactly, there’s no need to even discuss it; if they truly come, we’ll just drive them away. Do they intend to start a fight?"

"What if they do resort to violence? Right now, Wan Jian Villa has no ability to resist them. Once, our villa had the intention to lead the heroes, but now..."

"Nevertheless, we definitely can’t hand over Mr. Ye. At worst, we’ll fight them."

The crowd suddenly fell into a quarrel.

The majority opinion was against handing over Ye Guichen.

A minority opinion believed that since Ye Guichen was so formidable, even if handed over, no one could likely harm Ye Guichen.

Moreover, Ye Guichen was currently in seclusion. Even if told, and they went to find Ye Guichen, if Ye Guichen got angry, they would likely meet their end.

"That’s right, Mr. Ye is now in seclusion at the Sword Heart Land, which is our villa’s forbidden area. It’s said an ancestor once set up a powerful sword array there; if triggered, not even Golden Core experts could withstand it."

"Hey, don’t mention that sword array. It’s been such a long time; the array is probably not functional anymore."

"Yes, we haven’t seen the sword array activated for many years; it probably isn’t functional anymore."

Feng Jiuling also gently nodded, "I’ve heard about the sword array, but ever since I became the villa’s master and went to the Sword Heart Land myself to cultivate many times, the sword array has never appeared. It might be..."

"Ah? Truly no options left?"

"If that’s the case, what do we do?"

Many who hoped to hand over Ye Guichen still wished the sword array could give those sects a lesson, making them retreat in knowledge.
