Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Old master, I've already warned you." Yu Yi replied respectfully.

"Okay, don't mention this again. It's house Yu's top secret, and only the three of us know about it. Don't tell anyone else!" "Chen, give house Chen a warning," the old man nodded,"don't say anything, or they'll be exterminated!"

"Yes, father!" Xiaochen quickly replied.

In that place, patriarch xuanchen, who was meditating in an eight-trigram diagram, suddenly opened his eyes. His eldest disciple, small one, who was standing guard at the side, jumped in shock and quickly asked,""What's wrong, master? Why did you suddenly open your eyes?"

"Senior brother has come out of seclusion, come with me to welcome him!" Patriarch xuanchen stood up suddenly and strode out of the room.

Small one was slightly taken aback before he hurriedly followed patriarch xuanchen out of the courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, patriarch xuanchen headed to a remote cave abode on the mountaintop. Although many disciples greeted him on the way, he did not have the time to reply and went up the mountain directly to the entrance of the cave abode!

At the entrance of the cave abode sat patriarch xuanchen's second and third disciples. They were the disciples who were protecting patriarch xuanchen's senior brother. When they saw patriarch xuanchen, they could not help but be slightly taken aback, wondering why their master was here.

"Master, you're here!" The waiter hurriedly came over and saluted.

Ancestor xuanchen nodded but did not reply. Instead, he said in a clear voice,""Second senior, did you gain anything from your closed-door training?"

"Haha, xuanchen, you're fast. I've just come out of seclusion and you're already here. I can't even rest for a while!" A powerful voice came from the cave abode. It was patriarch xuanzhen, patriarch xuanchen's second senior brother.

"Second brother, I'm just concerned about you. You've been in closed-door training for three years, and I didn't even get to see you. So, I rushed over as soon as you came out!" When patriarch xuanchen heard patriarch xuanzhen's loud voice and knew that there was nothing wrong with his body, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief!

One must know that a cultivator's seclusion was both a good and a bad thing. This was a double-edged sword. If used well, one's strength and cultivation would greatly increase. If not used well, it was possible to go into Qi deviation and die directly!

After all, closed-door cultivation meant shutting oneself up and not communicating with the outside world. If one really suffered from Qi deviation, even if outsiders didn't know about it, it was possible that one would die during the process of closed-door cultivation if they couldn't rescue him in time.

"Three years is just a blink of an eye for you and me, isn't it?" Patriarch Xuan Zhen walked out of the cave with a smile and said in a clear voice,""Did anything major happen in the mountain while I was in seclusion?"

Patriarch xuanzhen did not look young either. He was a little older than patriarch xuanchen. From their dressing, the two of them were about the same. They were both wearing eight-trigram robes and looked like Immortals.

"Second brother, I'll tell you in detail about what happened in the mountains later. First, tell me how you are. How are the gains from this closed-door cultivation?" Patriarch xuanchen's expression changed slightly, but he quickly changed the topic. He did not want his second brother to be depressed the moment he came out of seclusion.

"Not much ..." Patriarch xuanzhen sighed."You know, at our level, it's extremely difficult to advance. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to open sky Class Island all these years and use it as an opportunity to break through ..."

"That's true. " "Yes." Ancestor xuanchen nodded."You and I are both at the peak of the late phase of the Sky Class. One more step and we'll reach a whole new level. But it's extremely difficult to cross this step!" It's a pity that the sect doesn't have any information on this, and even the method to break through is lost. We can only find it by opening the Sky Class Island ..."

"Yeah, third brother, you should've felt it as well-breaking through to Sky Class late phase peak doesn't seem very possible. With our current strength, we've already reached a certain level of saturation, and we can't make any progress even if we train anymore." "If I'm not wrong, there must be some other special mental cultivation method or method to break through to this level," said patriarch xuanzhen."The previous cultivation method will be useless."

"That's right, and that's why we're so insistent on opening the Sky Class Island. " Patriarch xuanchen said,""By the way, second brother, have you made any progress in alchemy? Are you able to refine a fourth ranked pill now?"

"I'm ashamed! "I have a high success rate in refining third-grade pills, but fourth-grade pills ..." Ancestor Xuan Zhen shook his head helplessly."I don't have any confidence. I've tried a few times during my closed-door cultivation, but it all ended in failure ... I'm afraid only someone with boss's talent can refine a fourth-grade pill, right?"

"Sigh, speaking of boss ... I wonder if he has overcome the hurdle in his heart ..." Patriarch xuanchen smiled bitterly and said,""It's been so many years, but he didn't contact us. We didn't dare to disturb him ..."

"That's right. If it wasn't for that accident, I'm afraid that boss would be able to refine a fourth-grade medicinal pill now without any problems!" Patriarch Xuan Zhen also sighed and said,""When the time comes, the three of us will step into the heavenly Dao and return to that level. How delightful would that be? It's all my fault. I was so competitive back then that I harmed boss ..."

"Forget it, second brother. You don't have to blame yourself. It's normal for competition between fellow disciples. No one wants that accident to happen ..." Patriarch xuanchen waved his hand and consoled him."However, second brother, you have spent all your energy on studying alchemy these years and have not even taken in a single disciple. I'm afraid you also want to refine a fourth grade pill for boss to consume?"

"Naturally," "I'm sorry, boss!" Patriarch xuanzhen nodded."I've always been worried about you!"

Patriarch xuanchen nodded. He knew patriarch xuanzhen's feelings, but from his point of view, the past was the past. His boss was not very sociable with his two junior brothers to begin with. At the very least, he was not particularly close to patriarch xuanchen, so he did not like his boss!

In fact, all these years, he had already found out where his boss was and had his contact information. It was just that he didn't want to contact him! Xuanchen was an unscrupulous person who had not achieved his goal. In his opinion, a useless senior brother could not bring benefits to the sect. Therefore, he changed his decision to not contact the boss. Instead, the boss did not contact them. (To be continued.)
