Chapter 12: Xu Rou Leaves the Pass (Part 2)

  The spiritual energy in his body was instantly restored, and Jiang Xiaoyu's confidence increased by another notch.

  But looking at the divine transmission display, it can only be used once, and its power is much stronger. There's no way around it, one's own realm is too low, and it's fundamentally impossible to truly release the true power of "Ling Xi Yi Zhi".

  However, even so, Jiang Xiaoyu's combat power is equivalent to that of a strong Cloud Ascension Realm cultivator. Although the opportunity to strike only comes once, if this were to be revealed, it would likely scare people to death.

  A minor cultivator of the Initial Sensation realm, unexpectedly bursting out with such immense power, killing this group of people. This group of people wouldn't believe it! Under the system's cover-up, these five people including Qin Feng who was closest to Jiang Xiaoyu didn't notice anything unusual.

  Xu Rou has already broken through to the Yun Teng realm boundary, and I believe it won't be long before she returns. I still need to hold on for a little while longer.

  There is no name for me in this world, yet I am everywhere.

  What a big tone!

  The five of them secretly marveled in their hearts, but since the other party could discuss Tao with Shi Huang, they must be a top-notch strongman, even more powerful than the old ancestor of the Xu family. For a strongman of this level, their behavior is unpredictable, so it's better to be careful with the next conversation.

  The four of them couldn't help but look at Xu Nian, as he had been the one conversing with this mysterious and unpredictable senior. The next task would be better off handed to him. Xu Nian felt the gaze of the others, his mouth slightly bitter, having to deal with such an old guy was really a headache...

  "What is the relationship between Senior and Xu Rou's sister?" Xu Nian asked cautiously.

  Previously, the five of them were arrogant and had a very bad attitude. Don't be mistaken for being good. They came to ask for Xiū Róu's family, so they were being haughty because they didn't take Xiū Róu seriously and didn't dare do anything to her.

  Jiang Xiaoyu was quite confident, and his tone was slightly arrogant. Otherwise, how could he live up to his identity as a recluse? So he said, "What business is it of yours, that you can ask about this?"

  As expected, Xu Nian hastily said: "I don't dare, I don't dare..."

  He's really as moody as his grandmother! Just a moment ago he was all calm and gentle, now there's this tense and nervous feeling, it's scary to death!

  Jiang Xiaoyu calmly asked: "What business do you have looking for her?"

  Xu Nian finally felt a sense of relief, thinking that he had the opportunity to explain things. Otherwise, being misunderstood would be disastrous. He composed himself and hastily said: "Senior, we have come under the orders of our master to escort Xu Rou back home..."

  At that time, Xu Rou also talked about the fact that she had left home five years ago. Jiang Xiaoyu's face was calm, but in her heart, she was secretly surprised. A young girl like her actually left home and became independent at such a young age - only 18 years old! She had reached a level of self-reliance that was truly admirable to Jiang Xiaoyu.

  "Uh-huh."

  Jiang Xiaoyu nodded in satisfaction, and Xu Nian followed with four others, only then did they truly put their minds at ease.

  Jiang Xiaoyu also understood the master of the Xu family, why did he let Xu return? Xu Nian had already spoken out his own speculation. In those years, Xu Rou had cultivated a poisonous scripture, which made her appearance change to what it is today. Wanting to recover was extremely difficult, but back then, a disciple of the academy named Qian Ye, actually fell in love with Xu Rou and still can't forget her until now.

  At that time, Xu Rou had a misunderstanding with him, and he also understood something. Now he has found a way to mediate, so he proposed to the Xu family.

  "This kid is quite infatuated..." Jiang Xiaoyu let out a soft sigh, but she had never heard Xu Rou mention him before, probably didn't have any feelings for this kid.

  It's impossible to say that I have a bad feeling about Xu Rou. Although the other person's appearance is not flattering now, Jiang Xiaoyu feels that he might really like Xu Rou. On earth, he was a looks-ist, but now, despite the other person's ugly appearance, he likes her, which means he really likes her.

  Because he heard that someone had gone to the Xu family to propose a marriage and wanted to marry Xu Rou, his heart felt very uncomfortable.

  "How did you end up here?" A soft and sweet voice with a hint of surprise.

  Jiang Xiaoyu and others didn't dare look over, they just saw Xu Rou standing outside the village.

  The villagers had already dispersed under Jiang Xiaoyu's hint, each busy with their own affairs. It's better not to let them know about this kind of thing.

  "Xu Rou... little sister, it's like this, the master of the house asked us to invite you back." Xu Nian originally wanted to say that Xu Rou was a wild child, but thinking of Jiang Xiao Yu beside him, he hurriedly swallowed his words.

  "No way! You, you broke through to the Cloud Ascension Realm?" The other four were shocked and pale.

  Xu Nian heard this and carefully sensed it for a moment, then his face turned very ugly.

  Xu Rou said softly: "Really? The host wants me to go back home? What for?"

  For the Xus, Xu Rou didn't have any feelings. The master of the house back then only valued her talent and when she failed to cultivate it, she was discarded like a useless child, making her feel no sense of belonging to the Xus.

  She was the daughter of the master of the house, but she was actually born to the master and a maid. Her mother died at the age of ten due to a serious illness. At the funeral, it was surprisingly simple, until death, the master of the Xu family never acknowledged that the other party was his concubine.

  If it weren't for her exceptional talent, I'm afraid the other party wouldn't even recognize their own daughter. Unfortunately, my cultivation of kung fu failed, and the other party indeed abandoned me as ruthlessly as I had expected.

  "For a thousand nights, I've been wanting to propose to you. He already has a way to restore your beauty..." Xu Nian said awkwardly.

  Xu Rou didn't respond, but instead walked to Jiang Xiao Yu's side. She saw Qin Feng beside her and couldn't help but feel slightly surprised. This person had actually opened up 56 acupoints! Although he was a bit old, she faintly sensed that his body possessed an endless source of potential!

  This is the wonderful use of Ziyun Dan. If there was no Ziyun Dan, how could Qin Feng's physique have greatly improved?

  "This is my apprentice." Jiang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly.

  "When did you have an apprentice?" Xu Rou asked curiously. She suddenly found that the Jiang Xiaoyu in front of her seemed very unfamiliar.

  Helplessly rubbing her nose, Jiang Xiaoyu said: "It's a long story, next time I'll tell you everything you want to know."

  After hearing Jiang Xiaoyu's promise, Xu Rou's face finally eased up.

  "Even if Qian Ye wants to marry me, it depends on whether he has the ability. As for restoring my appearance, I'll wait until I enter the Huā Lóng secret realm and undergo a transformation, then my looks will naturally return, no need for him to worry." Xǔ Róu let out a cold snort. When facing people from the Xǔ family, she found it hard to show her friendly side.

  Xu Nian let out a faint sigh in his heart. Now, even if Jiang Xiao Yu was not around, the five of them did not dare to be disrespectful to Xu Rou anymore. The other party had already entered the Cloud Ascension realm and was no longer someone they could contend with.

  He couldn't help but say: "Qian Ye is a student of the Academy, he's only twenty-three this year, the same age as you, but he's already a figure who has risen to great heights..."

  "Reaching the fifth heaven is nothing, in just three months, I will completely surpass him. As for now... if we were to fight, who would win or lose, it's still hard to say! However, I didn't expect that Xu Qing Sheng would actually be able to maximize his benefits. Back then, when I was useless, he abandoned me, and now he actually wants to marry me off, unfortunately, he didn't expect that I have already become a cultivator of the Cloud Ascension realm." Xu Rou completely looked down on him, his disappointment in his own biological father knew no bounds.

  That thousand-night cultivation academy's ultimate skill, opening up sixty-one acupoints, had already astonished the world. Among the younger generation, he had a place of his own. Now, she has opened up seventy-two acupoints.

  And she didn't just simply break through to the Cloud Soaring Realm, she broke through the shackles of the Nine Heavens of the Qi Sea and forcibly broke through to the Tenth Heaven of the Qi Sea, producing the tenth wave pattern in her body before breaking through to the Cloud Soaring Realm. The strength of her current combat power is unimaginable for ordinary people!

  That thousand nights, also did not reach this step. Xu Rou originally didn't like him, now even more won't like!

  Several people did not expect Xu Rou's tone to be so arrogant, but when they saw Jiang Xiao Yu, Xu Nian also stopped talking. The situation has changed, if Xu Rou doesn't follow them, they can only report the truth to their master.

  Even if I'm scolded by the master a few times, it's still better than losing my life here.

  However, Xu Rou's next words made the five of them perk up, "But even if you guys didn't come, I would still definitely go back. I want to take back everything that belongs to my mother!"

  As long as they go back, it's all good! After all, their task is to bring Xu Rou back, and whether or not she marries Qian Ye is no longer within their control.

  "When are we going back?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

  After hearing Xǔ Róu's story, Jiāng Xiǎo Yǔ could understand Xǔ Róu's current mood. Now her combat strength is even stronger than before, and there are no aftereffects left by the poisonous scripture, so she wants to hurry back and clear her mother's name! This is the only thing she can do for her deceased mother.

  "I want to leave now." Xu Rou's expression changed slightly.

  She didn't know why, but she felt a little reluctant in her heart, maybe it was the feeling for Pushe Village, or maybe it was the affection for the man in front of her, with just a hint of sentiment...

  "This kind of thing should be done as soon as possible, I will go to the Xu family to find you." Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly.

  He didn't wait for Xu's response, but instead looked at the five people and suddenly pointed and shot.

  The five of them changed color, not expecting this senior to actually make a move without any warning signs at all! This, wasn't everything going well just now? And the spiritual energy index for this time had actually reached as high as 15,000 points!

  The five of them hastily joined forces to resist, propping up a blue energy shield. When the golden light struck the shield, the five people's internal energy suddenly churned, their throats turned sweet, and they all spat out blood simultaneously.

  "Go back and tell your master, she is mine!" Jiang Xiaoyu coldly snorted.
