Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 10: Taking Care of Senior Brother's Wife and Daughter

Leizhou, Fenglei Mansion.

Han Li and Zhang Xuan took twelve days to finally arrive at the location where Qiu Xuan was. They rested several times along the way, almost exhausting Han Li.

Fenglei Mansion was even further than Tianxuan Mountain, and because Han Li wanted to be safe, he always maintained his Qi Hai at more than fifty percent, which took more time.

"He shouldn't have passed away yet, right?"

Looking at the city in front of him, which was several times larger than Lingjun City, Han Li muttered to himself.

The city in front of him was the capital city of Fenglei Mansion, with a population of millions and many cultivators residing in it, including many powerful ones.

On the way here, Han Li had already learned about the situation of Fenglei City and the Qiu family from Zhang Xuan.

There were more than ten Vital Spirit Realm cultivators permanently residing in Fenglei City, divided among three major forces. As for the Sea Opening Realm cultivators, there were even more, numbering in the hundreds. Qiu Xuan was just one of them.

Twenty years ago, Qiu Xuan left Tianxuan Mountain for some unknown reason and settled in Fenglei City. He married and had children, establishing the Qiu family. Zhang Xuan was Qiu Xuan's first disciple from more than ten years ago, and it was evident that he was highly trusted, otherwise he wouldn't have been entrusted with the task of delivering the message.

A year ago, Qiu Xuan returned in a hurry, looking dispirited and heavily injured. Knowing that his time was limited, he began to make arrangements for his afterlife, with the most important task being to find someone who could take care of his wife and daughter.

Originally, Qiu Xuan had another candidate in mind, but three months ago, he accidentally learned that Han Li had returned to Tianxuan Mountain and broke through to the Sea Opening Realm. This news changed his mind, and he decided to entrust his wife and daughter to Han Li. Han Li was his life-and-death brother and naturally the most trustworthy.

So Qiu Xuan sent his first disciple to Lingjun City to deliver the message. Due to Zhang Xuan's low cultivation level, he could only ride a secular horse along the way, and it was only a little over ten days ago that he delivered the message to Han Li.

While thinking about this, Han Li entered the city with Zhang Xuan and headed to the Qiu family.

This scene also caught the attention of some interested parties. Now that Qiu Xuan was close to death, many people had set their sights on his inheritance. A mid-stage Sea Opening Realm inheritance was quite substantial, and it was impossible to protect it with just a widow and an orphan.

Qiu family.

Han Li was led by Zhang Xuan to Qiu Xuan's bedroom. Along the way, Han Li remained on guard, ready to take action at any moment.

Naturally, Qiu Xuan wouldn't attack him. He was afraid that Qiu Xuan had already died and that someone was using Qiu Xuan's name to lure him here.

Having survived in this world for nearly two hundred years, Han Li was well aware of the dangers of the cultivation world. He had to be cautious, otherwise he would be in deep trouble.

When he saw Qiu Xuan, Han Li finally let go of his last bit of vigilance. Qiu Xuan's condition was not good at the moment, lying in bed with shallow breaths and could pass away at any time.

Just to wait for Han Li's arrival, he suppressed his injuries with his cultivation level, forcefully holding on and refusing to leave.

"Master!"

"Disciple is late."

As soon as he entered, Zhang Xuan saw Qiu Xuan's condition and suddenly knelt down, tears streaming down his face, filled with self-blame.

Several of Qiu Xuan's disciples who were guarding outside the door also had red eyes. After Qiu Xuan took them as disciples, he taught them with great care and took good care of them. Now that their master was about to die, they naturally felt very sad.

Moreover, Qiu Xuan was their biggest support in Fenglei City. If Qiu Xuan died, they, who were in the Body Tempering and Blood Exchange realms, would have a hard time surviving in the capital city.

"You're back, cough~"

Qiu Xuan turned his head with difficulty, looking at the two people in the room. His face was flushed, showing excitement, and his consciousness suddenly became clear.

"Disciple, go outside and guard. I have a few words to say to your senior martial brother."

"Yes."

Zhang Xuan immediately retreated, leaving only Han Li and Qiu Xuan in the room.

"Senior Brother Qiu, long time no see."

Han Li walked to the bedside and looked at Qiu Xuan, his expression complex.

Qiu Xuan's aptitude was slightly better than his own. Although he started later, his cultivation speed was faster. In the world of cultivation, strength was respected. Han Li had called Qiu Xuan senior brother for a hundred years.

After Han Li left the mountain, he heard that Qiu Xuan had broken through to the Sea Opening Realm within a few years. Unexpectedly, when they met again, the scene was like this. Life is unpredictable, and no one can predict it.

Now Qiu Xuan's condition was deteriorating, and he wouldn't live much longer.

"Yes, it's been fifty years."

"Han junior brother has also advanced to the Sea Opening Realm. It's truly a cause for celebration, cough cough~"

Qiu Xuan's expression was also complex, lost in reminiscence. As he spoke, he started to wheeze.

"What exactly happened? With your strength, there shouldn't be many in the Wind Thunder Residence who could injure you so severely. Could it be the Vital Spirit Realm experts?"

Han Li frowned. Qiu Xuan was at the sixth level of the Sea Opening Realm and was a disciple of the prestigious Tianxuan Mountain. Even an ordinary late-stage Sea Opening Realm cultivator could put up a fight, and even if he couldn't defeat a powerful Sea Opening Realm expert, he should be able to escape. He shouldn't have been so heavily injured.

Qiu Xuan shook his head and said bitterly, "It wasn't the Vital Spirit Realm, just two Sea Opening Realm cultivators. They wanted to take the treasure I obtained outside and ambushed me."

"Although I used secret techniques to kill them, I also suffered severe injuries. They can't be healed, and the secret techniques also consume a lot of lifespan. Even if I were to be healed, I would only have two or three years left."

Han Li's frown deepened. He originally thought that there might be a chance to save Qiu Xuan, but now it seemed hopeless. Qiu Xuan was filled with deathly aura, and although he appeared normal, he had at most half an hour left to live.

"Ah~"

Han Li sighed. Qiu Xuan's experience made his determination even stronger. He shouldn't take risks without absolute certainty.

Qiu Xuan was attacked because of the treasure he obtained. Although he successfully retaliated, he also lost his life.

Fortunately, the attackers were Sea Opening Realm cultivators, and Qiu Xuan dealt with them. If they were Vital Spirit Realm cultivators, it would have been much more difficult to handle.

The room fell silent, and no one spoke.

After a while, Qiu Xuan spoke again, saying, "Han junior brother, we have a deep bond, and you are the person I trust the most. Now that I am about to die, what worries me the most is my wife and daughter. If possible, I hope you can take care of them."

"And also my disciples, it would be best if you could take care of them. If not, let them leave the city."

"All my savings are here. Regardless of whether junior brother agrees or not, please accept them."

Qiu Xuan tremblingly raised a hand and handed the spatial ring he held to Han Li.

He understood very well that his inheritance, his wife, daughter, and disciples, couldn't be protected. If he left them behind, it would only bring disaster upon them. If he left them to Han Li, based on his understanding of Han Li, he would definitely take care of them.

"Why go to such lengths, senior brother?"

Han Li sighed. Seeing Qiu Xuan staring at him with pleading eyes, he had no choice but to say, "Senior brother, rest assured, I will take care of your wife and daughter. Farewell."

He actually didn't want the spatial ring. The treasure that brought disaster to Qiu Xuan was probably inside, which could bring trouble to Han Li. Trouble meant risks, and that was something he didn't want to see.

Seeing Han Li's agreement, a smile appeared on Qiu Xuan's face, and his arm weakly fell.

Han Li reached out and closed Qiu Xuan's eyes, staring blankly at his lifeless body. At this moment, Qiu Xuan's eyes opened again, his breath weakly saying:

"If my wife... sacrifices herself, junior brother can let it be. Just take care of my daughter."

He couldn't finish his sentence, nor could he say anything more.

Han Li closed his mouth and eyes again, waiting for a while before saying, "Come in."
