BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74 - Seventy-Four: Ten Years
Time flies on the path of cultivation, and ten years have quietly passed by.
When I think about it, I am already thirty- six years old. Xu Fan was holding a thermos cup he had forged himself.
There was warm water in the cup, along with 7 or 8 goji berries.
As one reaches middle age, one is left with no choice Xu Fan said leisurely. At this moment, a young girl in her twenties brought over a plate of pastries for Xu Fan.
Master, what are you sighing about again? The crisp sound of her voice conjured images of a sporty young girl in ones mind.
Moon Immortal, I wonder what I should do if I havent reached the Foundation Establishment Stage in a hundred years, Xu Fan said with a smile.
How can this be? There must be a reason for Master not advancing right now.
l knew it just by looking at how you single-handedly suppressed Uncle Master Wang.
Master must be practicing a Heaven and Earth Cultivation Technique. Xu Yuexian said, her respect for Xu Fan only deepening after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Haha, is that so? Is what youre saying so impressive? Xu Fan laughed, knowing that those who knew him didnt think he was unable to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
In my heart, Master is the most amazing person. Xu Yuexian said with admiration.
At this moment, Wang Yulun and Xu Gang entered the Restriction area.
Whats the occasion today? You inner sect disciples should stay in the inner sect.
Of course, we came to visit Brother Xu. Wang Yulun was holding a food box, bringing a meal to his good big brother was always the correct choice, even if food had already been prepared here.
Your rascal son is on a mission. You wont see him today, Xu Fan said.
His third disciples name was Wang Xiangchi, who was also Wang Yuluns son. His dual spirit roots and sword cultivator talent made even Xu Fan secretly marvel.
l actually came to see Brother Xu. Although he was a bit disappointed not to see his son, it did not affect the purpose of his visit.
It was just in time for lunch, Xu Fan invited everyone to eat together.
When he saw the dishes Wang Yulun took out of the food box, Xu Fan knew there was more to this situation.
As siblings Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian exchanged glances, they both revealed the same thought- their master was about to make another profit.
Over the past ten years, Wang Yulun had become like Xu Fans personal bringer of treasure. Every time Xu Fan needed a specific spiritual medicine or some type of spiritual mine, he could count on Wang Yulun to provide it, continually surprising him afterward.
Regarding the hundredfold returns, Xu Gang and his sister also knew about it. They also gave things to Wang Yulun, but there was never any return.
After all these years, youre still trying to be polite with me? If youre being polite, youre treating me like an outsider. Xu Fan smiled, as he would entrust most of his wealth to this kid with legendary attributes, even by just keeping him around.
Over the years, Xu Fan developed a habit; whenever faced with difficulties, he would find a way to appease Wang Yulun first. The effect was surprisingly good, although there was a trend of diminishing returns as Wang Yulun started to have everything, as a result, the hard persuasion effect became worse.
Haha, Brother Xu, thats right.
Qianer is pregnant. 1 was wondering if you could Wang Yulun said hesitantly, rubbing his hands. After all, accepting a disciple wasnt just about taking them in; it also required spending time and effort teaching them. It was rare in the cultivation world for someone still in the process of improving their own cultivation level to take on disciples.
What, planning to send another one for me to raise in my old age and accompany me to my grave? Xu Fan joked. He valued his third disciple greatly, preparing him to be his second greatest fighting force among his disciples.
If you dont mind your child being closer to me than you, then send the child over when theyre six years old.
Even now, Xiangchi hardly recognizes you as his father. Xu Fan said triumphantly, feeling as if he had a special quality that made people around him grow closer to him unconsciously.
Yes, the rascal rarely comes home these days.
But its fine, as long as hes my son. Wang Yulun said with a smile, most fathers generally hope their children will be successful, and would not usually worry about whether they were close to them.
You sure think things through. Xu Fan said, knowing that his friend of more than a decade was holding something back.
Based on Wang Yuluns usual habits, he would normally only bring the child to get to know Xu Fan after they were born, before asking him to accept them as a disciple.
After lunch, both senior disciples of Xu Fan went back to the inner sect to do their tasks, leaving only Xu Fan and Wang Yulun on the small hill.
After the young servant-like puppet had brewed the tea for the two, it slowly stepped back.
Alright, just tell me everything all at once. Xu Fan already had a vague idea of what Wang Yulun was going to say.
Seeing that his thoughts were exposed, Wang Yulun hesitated.
Speak up or leave after finishing your tea.
l still need to forge a magical treasure for my third disciple. Xu Fan spoke indifferently, feeling a little curious about what could make this Proud Heaven Disciple hesitated.
Brother Xu, please dont look down on me when I tell you this. Wang Yulun scratched his head, in the outside world he was the inner sects Proud Heaven Disciple, double peerless sword techniques, aloof and indifferent handsome appearance that charmed countless female disciples.
But in front of Xu Fan, he was just like the most ordinary neighborhood young man, four-parts dashing and six-parts ordinary.
l 1 would like to Wang Yulun said hesitantly.
If you keep on like this, Ill see you out. Xu Fan glared at Wang Yulun. What couldnt a grown man say straight? It wasnt like he had done something shameful.
Brother Xu, can you accept another disciple?
This is the child of a friend of mine, they entrusted me with the childs care before they passed away. Wang Yulun seemed to have used a great deal of willpower to speak out.
Treating others as fools isnt a good habit, and I am no ones friend. You seem to be fabricating a friend out of thin air. Xu Fan scolded with a smile.
Speak up, what is the origin of this child? The neighborhood youth was no longer as innocent as before.
Seven years ago, I was on a mission with a female disciple from the
Thousand Cloud Sect who had come here to exchange knowledge.
In a dangerous place, we encountered a Golden Core Stage Seven Desires Serpent. After a desperate battle, we killed that giant serpent.
In the end, we were both affected by the Desire Qi emitted by the dying serpent.
You can probably guess what happened after that. Wang Yulun hesitated to say the rest.bender
For some reason, Xu Fan heard a hint of sadness in Wang Yuluns voice, perhaps because his purity had been compromised again.
Is the child not able to be raised by the mothers side? Xu Fan asked.
His mother passed away two years ago while conducting an assignment in the Thousand Cloud Sect.
Xu Fan then understood where that trace of sadness came from.
Where is the child now, why didnt you say something sooner?
You too are a victim in this, Ill cover for you with this matter. Xu Fan said. The child is currently being raised by an ordinary family in the outer
Heavenly Gate Immortal City.
l want him to become your disciple so he can befriend Xiangchi in the future.
Whats the childs name? Xu Fan asked.
Li Xingci, he is six years old this year..
