Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing walked into the courtyard, where Su Yuanxiao was already waiting outside the reception hall.

Today, she wore a white long dress, with a light touch of makeup on her face, and a smile blooming between her brows and eyes, like a snow lotus, yet full of warmth.

"Senior Brother Zhang, it's been several years since we last met, yet you never come. Don't you even care to visit your little sister, or do you not even care about your own disciple?"

Su Yuanxiao said with a smile, "When I heard that Senior Brother was coming, I was flustered and hurriedly prepared a table of wine and dishes. I don't know if it will suit Senior Brother's taste! If there are any shortcomings, please forgive me, Senior Brother, and don't show it, lest you embarrass me."

Zhang Yuanjing was amused and didn't know whether to laugh or cry upon hearing this. He originally wanted to question her, but was interrupted by her, and found it difficult to bring it up again.

So he said, "What Junior Sister has prepared must be excellent. It's just that I'm used to simple food and drink, and I don't care about the pleasures of the palate. I've troubled Junior Sister!"

Su Yuanxiao didn't mind his somewhat disappointing words, but chuckled and said playfully, "So Senior Brother usually lives such an austere life! Then I must treat Senior Brother well. Senior Brother, please!"

Zhang Yuanjing walked into the hall, where a small square table was placed on the east side, with a dozen large and small cups and plates, as well as a cyan jade wine pot and two white jade wine cups.

Before he even got close, a delicate fragrance wafted over.

The dishes were mainly fruits and vegetables, but there were also some wild game, and a plump Songxi mandarin fish.

This fish is produced in the clear streams of Tianque Mountain. Because it eats specially grown pine cones, its meat has a unique fragrance, which has always been loved by the Xuantian Sect cultivators, who often catch it to serve with wine.

Zhang Yuanjing took his seat, but first asked, "Junior Sister Su, what kind of homework have you arranged for Zhang Yu? This little girl has always been naughty. Although her aptitude is good, she doesn't work hard enough and must be strictly required."

Su Yuanxiao rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "That's exactly what Senior Brother means! The little girl Zhang Yu is very clever, and she has a Heavenly Spiritual Root. As long as she puts in a little effort, she will be better than most people.

"Although our Xuantian Sect also has many geniuses, only two or three can compare with her, and none of her age can.

"The fellow disciples in the sect she usually sees are far inferior to her. They can only look up to her, which makes it difficult to bring her pressure. Naturally, the little girl lacks the motivation to work hard. Although I have arranged a lot of homework for her, it is only external force and cannot replace her inner initiative."

She paused, but changed the subject: "Actually, she is already very good. At her current rate of cultivation, she will definitely enter the Core Formation stage before the age of one hundred and fifty. In the future, as long as her chances are not too bad, advancing to the Nascent Soul stage is also a certainty. Why should Senior Brother ask for too much? Wouldn't it be better to let her grow up happily! Could it be that you want her to cultivate bitterly all day long like Senior Brother? How boring!"

Zhang Yuanjing touched his nose and chuckled twice: "Junior Sister is right. It's also because the sect's crisis is difficult to resolve and is always pressing on our heads, so we always hope that the younger generation will grow up quickly so that they can share some of the pressure."

Su Yuanxiao picked up the jade pot on the table, filled Zhang Yuanjing's jade cup, and then filled her own, saying, "Since the invasion of the Heavenly Devil Abyss, everyone has been busy every day, making it difficult to travel, feast, and talk and laugh as usual. Cultivation is hard enough, and we need to relax occasionally, combine work with rest, and have a balance! Come, let me offer Senior Brother a cup to thank Senior Brother for taking the time to visit me in his busy schedule!"

Zhang Yuanjing naturally couldn't refuse, picked up the jade cup, and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister, for taking care of Zhang Yu. She is naughty and must have caused Junior Sister a lot of trouble."

The two clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Yuanxiao's snow-white face flushed slightly, making her even more charming.

She looked at Zhang Yuanjing playfully, and seeing that he was a little restrained, she couldn't help but smile: "Senior Brother, why don't you move your chopsticks? Is it possible that none of the dishes I made suit your taste?"

Zhang Yuanjing coughed lightly and said, "This table is full of delicacies. I don't know where to start."

Su Yuanxiao pointed to the Songxi mandarin fish: "Then try this mandarin fish. You probably can't eat the taste of pine fragrance anywhere else."

Her tone seemed to carry a faint sadness.

Zhang Yuanjing was attracted by the plump mandarin fish, but didn't notice the abnormality in her tone.

He picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of meat from the belly of the fish, put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and sincerely praised: "Smooth, tender, and fragrant, there is probably no better Songxi mandarin fish than this!"

Su Yuanxiao smiled happily when she heard this, and her originally radiant eyes narrowed into slits.

"Counting on my fingers, it has been more than ten years since I returned to the mountain gate. This is the first time I have eaten Songxi mandarin fish since my return."

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but think of the days when he used to roam the mountains and forests with Wu Yuankui or Lin Yuancang, grilling fish around the fire. Such scenes would never return. It's not that they couldn't be done, but the people were different and the mood had changed.

Su Yuanxiao looked at Zhang Yuanjing quietly and suddenly asked, "Senior Brother, I heard that you might be going to the Hengduan Mountains? I wonder if this is true?"

Zhang Yuanjing was stunned and asked, "How did Junior Sister ask about this?"

Su Yuanxiao pondered for a moment and said quietly, "Because I am also going to the Hengduan Mountains with Senior Brother!"

"Is this the arrangement of the Real Person?" Zhang Yuanjing was quite surprised. If there was news from Hengduan Mountain, shouldn't Tong Tianfu have informed him immediately?

"It should be. I heard it from my master. At that time, she will go to the Second Demon Suppression City with me." Su Yuanxiao said with some melancholy.

Zhang Yuanjing had many doubts in his mind, and suddenly thought of what Guo Yuanmeng said, so he asked, "Why let Martial Aunt Shu and Junior Sister Su go to Hengduan Mountain? Martial Uncle Hu is already there, there is no need for so many Core Formation elders."

Su Yuanxiao picked up the jade pot, poured another cup of wine for Zhang Yuanjing, and smiled playfully: "Senior Brother, it seems that you really don't know my origin!"

Zhang Yuanjing's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that Su Yuanxiao wouldn't have heard his conversation with Guo Yuanmeng, right?

Although he really didn't have any intention towards Su Yuanxiao, Guo Yuanmeng spoke without restraint, using words such as "dual cultivation partner" casually. If Su Yuanxiao heard it, wouldn't it cause misunderstanding!

"Oh, what other background does Junior Sister have? Wasn't she a disciple that Martial Aunt Shu accepted in a certain place?" Zhang Yuanjing pretended to be surprised and asked in amazement.

Su Yuanxiao smiled and said, "Since Real Person Tong hasn't told Senior Brother yet, the time must not be right. Let the Real Person tell you. In the future, I will have to trouble Senior Brother to take care of me. Let's drink today, come, let me offer Senior Brother another cup!"

Zhang Yuanjing was full of doubts, and seeing that Su Yuanxiao's smile concealed sorrow, he didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so he just drank wine and ate fish with her, talking about romantic affairs.

In the evening, Zhang Yu came out of seclusion. When she saw her master, she was both happy and resentful, saying that he was cruel, throwing her, his disciple, away for more than ten years. Even when she broke through the barrier, he didn't even come to see her.

Zhang Yuanjing naturally comforted her with kind words, promising to stay in Tianque Mountain for a few more days and reunite with her, as well as Huo Zhengkai, Han Ji, and Zhang Jun.
