Lady Su’s Revenge

Chapter 495 He Was Deceived by Someone

When Xuan An heard the words, he immediately lifted his spirits and his eyes brightened. “Father, are you serious?”

Xuan Jingzhou smiled, stroked his beard, and said, “When did I deceive you?”

“Great!”

Xuan An was so happy that he almost jumped up, and the old man who was standing by shook his head and laughed. After all, the young lord was still a young man and couldn’t hide things.

“You come with me.”

Xuan Jingzhou got up and walked into the house. Xuan An immediately followed.

Su Yue watched them enter the house with a smile. When their figures disappeared, the smile on her face disappeared, and she said calmly, “Butler Wu, don’t spread the matter today.”

After the elder called “Butler Wu” heard the words, the images of several inherited disciples that fiercely competed in the sect flashed in his mind. Then he immediately changed his face and whispered, “I will obey your order.”

…

After Xuan An followed Xuan Jingzhou to the principal room, he discovered that the scenery was different inside and there was a small study.

“Father, this is…”

Xuan An was surprised. Xuan Jingzhou hesitated, and covered the file beside the table without a trace. He said in a warm voice, “This room is where I talk about important matters with your mother in secret. There are many spies in the sect. Even if I am the Lord, we have to be careful… Sit down.”

Understanding seemingly, Xuan An nodded and sat down obediently.

Xuan Jingzhou turned around and pulled out a volume of file from the bookshelf. “All of these are important events and plans of our Jiguang Sect in recent years. Come here to read it when you have time. Remember…these files must not be taken out of this door, otherwise you will be in danger! Also, don’t reveal the existence of this room. Don’t tell anyone except me and your mother.”

Xuan An was horrified, and finally realized the importance. He was not excited as he was just now. He took the file seriously and looked at it carefully.

The first line that came into view was “Bloody Accident of Holy Spirit!”

This memoir file actually started to record after the Reincarnation Mirror shattered.

“In the 51st year of returning to the sect, I kill some people after I finished the task. And I take over as the Lord! Among remaining confederates of the enemy, three people still escape…”

“In the 52nd year, I kill some people.”

“In the 53rd year, I marry Yue.”

“In the 54th year, I kill some people.”

“…”

Xuan An was shocked from time to time, and sometimes his face was red. This memoir was obviously written by his father, and his mother was also recorded in it. He clearly felt that during the years when his father and mother were married, even when his father wrote the horrifying word “kill”, the stroke was also full of tenderness.

Xuan An continued to read. In the next decades, his father killed people and pacified the Jiguang Sect. He saw the hardships of his father. And he knew that when his mother was picked on by others because of her background, his father killed those people!

He never thought that so many practitioners were killed by his parents, and he never thought that the cultivation circle was as cruel as others said. He had lived freely and comfortably for five hundred years. It was just because his father and mother were supporting him behind…

Many feelings filled his heart. After he flipped his fingers to the next page, he didn’t see records which were full of words, but only a line of scribbles.

“In the 557th year, Yue gives birth to our son, named Xuan An. There is no regret in this life!”

Xuan An’s lips trembled, and his eyes became wet. But then, he couldn’t help grinning.

How lucky was he to have such parents?

He pinched his lips, put down the file suddenly, walked to Xuan Jingzhou and knelt down with a “plop”. His eyes showed unprecedented firmness when he raised his head, “Father, I will live up to your expectations, and I will concentrate on practicing in the future to share your worries and troubles!”

Seeing his son’s true feelings reveal, Xuan Jingzhou was slightly moved, and a strange feeling that he had never felt before appeared in his heart. At this moment, he actually had the illusion that he was old.

“Okay, my An has finally grown up.”

He chuckled, showing a soft expression to his son for the first time.

In the next few days, in addition to practicing, Xuan An read the files in the small study every day. Xuan Jingzhou also put all the files related to “Linli Building” into the universe ring.

Although he knew that his son could not betray him, he didn’t want Xuan An to step into the whirlpool for the time being.

Like a sponge, Xuan An quickly absorbed the big and small events of the Jiguang Sect for nearly a thousand years, and quickly saw the events in recent years.

On this day, he opened a new file as usual, and the characters “Guling Gambling Battle” came into view. Since he was able to use Poisonous Power Insect, his interest was aroused slightly. Then he read it carefully.

“In the 1,017th year, in the depths of the White Stone Relics, the burial ground of immortal poisonous insects appeared! Tianyin Tribe wanted to seize it alone. Our Jiguang Sect worked with Yinquan Sect, Xuejian Cult and Xiejian School to prevent it, and we broke even. We agreed on that the immortal poisonous insect’s ownership will be determined by the Guling Gambling Battle five years later!”

“There are very few poisonous insect practitioners in the sect, and the practitioners participating in the Guling Gambling Battle must be at least in the Huashen Realm. No one in our sect has the qualifications. So, I secretly look for the eligible practitioner. But so far, no one is suitable. I worry it too much…”

“In the 1,018th year, we recruit three suitable poisonous insect practitioners, but they refuse because of fear of revenge from Tianyin Tribe.”

“In the 1,019th year, we recruit a suitable poisonous insect practitioner. After finding out that he is the spy of Tianyin Tribe, I kill him!”

“In the 1,020th year, there is no gain.”

“In the 1,021st year, there is no gain.”

In the 1,022nd years, it was still blank.

Xuan An frowned when he saw it. He was now 465 years old, and the 1,022nd year was this year. It was also the fifth year agreed upon, but his father still did not find a suitable poisonous insect practitioner to take action.

It was urgent to find such a practitioner!

He finally felt the pressure of his father, who not only needed to maintain the affairs of the sect, but also had to struggle with the pressure of Tianyin Tribe.

“My cultivation is too weak. Even if I get Poisonous Power Insect, I can only deal with people who are in the peak of Yuanying Realm, and I even don’t reach the threshold for participation.”

Xuan An sighed in his heart, and took out a delicate carrier rune. There was hesitation in his eyes.

If he could invite the mysterious senior sister apprentice, the chances of winning would be great… But if he used the only one opportunity for this matter, would the senior sister apprentice hate him?

After thinking about it for a long time, Xuan An sighed and put away the carrier rune. After all, he did not dare to pass his thoughts into it.

“There are still a few months before it was the agreed time. Instead of rushing to disturb the senior sister apprentice, it is better to ask my father about the progress. After all, this file is made a month ago.”

After making up his mind, Xuan An put down the file and left in large strides. After asking Butler Wu where Xuan Jingzhou went, he immediately walked to the hall of the sect.

At this moment, Xuan Jingzhou was sitting at the head of the hall. His eyes swept across those elders in the hall, and he was frowning.

“We really can’t find a suitable poisonous insect practitioner?”

The leading elder in the white robe shook his head and sighed bitterly, “Lord, you have seen it in the past four years. Poisonous insect practitioners are extremely rare, and they dare not to risk their lives. And today, Tianyin Tribe is powerful, and it is led by two disciples of immortal. It won’t decline in the future. As long as a poisonous insect practitioner is not planning to leave his hometown, he will not choose to go against it.”

After the elder in the white robe finished speaking, the elder in black clothes who was slightly younger on his side suddenly snorted, “Elder Fan, you really boost other people’s morale and reduce our own courage. Then because it is difficult to search, we will just give up?”

The elder in the white robe looked unpleasant, “When do I ever say that we wouldn’t look for it? If you focused on finding someone instead of scolding me, you might have already found a suitable candidate!”

“Yes, Elder Li always criticizes others, but he has done the least amount of credit. I don’t know why he mocked Elder Fan!”

“Nonsense! When was Elder Li lazy? It’s clear that you are tired and lazy, and you do know nothing…”

The two factions headed by Elder Fan and Elder Li quarreled together in the blink of an eye. Xuan Jingzhou’s face was cold, and his eyebrows were beating wildly. Finally, when the sound of the two parties rose to the next level, he shouted,

“All of you shut up!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s complexion changed a little. While clutching their aching eardrums, they were shocked.

Lord’s cultivation rose to a new level again!

“The hall of the sect is a solemn place, not a vegetable market where you can quarrel. Shame on you!”

Xuan Jingzhou stood up. His figure obscured the candlelight behind the golden seat, adding a bit of pressure to everyone.

But at this moment, the melodious voice of the young man came.

“I’m Xuan An. I ask to see the Lord.”

Xuan Jingzhou was startled slightly, and his anger disappeared. This kid didn’t read in the study, so what did he want to do in the main hall?

He looked at the people who stood silently under the hall and felt impatient. He waved his hand coldly, “Go back and ponder over your mistakes!”

Elder Fan and Elder Li were relieved, and thought that the young lord came at the right time. They hurriedly retreated and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xuan Jingzhou rubbed his painful eyebrows. These two elders didn’t get along well for hundreds of years. If they hadn’t been strong enough, he would have expelled these two unruly persons. However… There were no other powerful people in the sect.

Xuan An opened the door and walked in. The shadow dragged a long trace on the floor of the hall. He looked at his father in the hall who was still agitated.

He respectfully bowed. Seeing that there were no outsiders, he straightened up and said, “What are you worrying about, father?”

Xuan Jingzhou waved his hand and was unwilling to say more about it. He just asked, “Why don’t you read the files and come here?”

Xuan An straightened up and immediately replied, “I saw the Guling Gambling Battle. This year is the last year. How is the progress?”

“Good boy. You learn to care about matters of the sect. You make progress.”

Xuan Jingzhou suppressed his irritability for the time being. He nodded in admiration and said, “It’s okay to tell you this. You have also seen the files, and so far, there is no suitable person. If there is no one to choose after three months, our Jiguang Sect can only give up.”

At that time, he could only let Wen Tingshan risk danger in desperation!

His heart secretly tightened.

When Xuan An heard this, he was not surprised, but struggled even more in his heart.

After hesitating for a while, he finally said, “There is a choice here. I want to hear your opinion.”

“You?”

Xuan Jingzhou couldn’t help but laugh. This kid didn’t know that Qiu Zhen had followed him in secret during his years of experience in the outside, and Xuan Jingzhou knew the people who he had contacted. Among them, no one was in the Huashen Realm, not to mention poisonous insect practitioners in the Huashen Realm. He was probably deceived by someone.

“Don’t show off. You’re only in the Jindan Realm. How can you befriend the poisonous insect practitioners in the Huashen Realm? Don’t cause trouble to the sect.”

Xuan Jingzhou shook his head with gentle eyes, “I’m very pleased that you have this idea. You can leave now.”
