Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 671: Greed
When dusk came, Tang Xiu went to Star City Airport. Although he did not know for what purpose Mu Wanying was visiting Star City at the moment, he still had to pick him up and even order a box at Long's Dining Hall. He guessed that it was the idea his mother wanted him to go to Shanghai to study, so Mu Wanying came, and it was very likely that he would be preparing to go to Shanghai with him.
Six afternoon.
A beautiful figure appeared at the airport exit. After Tang Xiu saw Mu Wanying, she immediately waved at him, but she then froze when she saw there was a beautiful middle-aged couple with Mu Wanying. The most important thing was that Mu Wanying bore a resemblance to that woman.
"You're Tang Xiu, right? Truly a very capable young man. ”
The middle-aged man behind Mu Wanying, wearing a formal suit and tie, showed a satisfied expression on his face after he saw Tang Xiu.
The beautiful woman also smiled faintly and said, “The men that our Wanying likes are very nice. Tang Xiu, I am very satisfied with you. ”
Tang Xiu's lower lips wriggled. At this moment, even if he was stupid, there was no way he could not figure out the identity of this middle-aged couple! He smiled wryly, although he showed a simple expression on the surface, and greeted, “How are you, Uncle and Aunt. Welcome to Star City. ”
There was a flushed color on Mu Wanying's pretty face, but one could also see a trace of helplessness there. There was a slight apology in his tone as he spoke, "Tang Xiu, my parents encouraged me to bring them to Star City, so I …"
"It was your father and mother who insisted on inviting us to visit Star City to be guests last year, Tang Xiu," Mu Jianhua cut him off and said with a smile. “Because we are not busy after the New Year, we came here to visit. The relationship between you and Wanying will become closer sooner or later and we as trustees give our consent, so we certainly have to get closer as well. ”
Tang Xiu recalled the mysterious smile his father showed in the afternoon and immediately felt somewhat helpless inside. Although he had already explained the true circumstances of his relationship with Mu Wanying, that they were just a fake couple, now it seemed that they did not take him seriously! He could also see the helpless and regretful look in Mu Wanying's eyes and hardened himself after giving a hint of thought. After all, she had to find herself a wife who would give birth to her children sooner or later, while Mu Wanying himself also understood the circumstances she was in. If he wanted to do in such a situation, he couldn't always go against the idea straight. She had devoted her entire life to mending her resolve on the road to immortality, and now there was a woman who wanted to enter the trajectory of her life and not conform to her original idea, then it was clear that he was willing to be with her and did not want to part.
While all sorts of thoughts were swirling in his heart, Tang Xiu quickly thought of a few things. He displayed the attitude of the younger generation facing Mu Wanying's parents as he lifted their luggage, invited them to board a car, and then drove towards South Gate Town.
At home .
After Tang Xiu saw the meeting of the two old men, he realized that the meeting today was not the first time they had met, as the two old men had met several times already back when they were in the capital. Even his mother, Su Lingyun, toured and visited many historical places and scenic beauty in Beijing accompanied by Mu Wanying's mother, Jiang Zhenli.
On the second floor .
After Tang Xiu brought Mu Wanying to his room, he forced out a smile and said, "I think you've gone to Shanghai. It was never expected that you would visit Star City with your parents all of a sudden today. Fourth, they've been arranging this for some time, haven't they? ”
"I'm really sorry, Tang Xiu," Mu Wanying said with an apologetic smile. “Actually, I only knew about it before I was going to Star City. I'll have called you earlier. ”
Tang Xiu waved his hand and turned on the heater in the bedroom. "It's okay. Actually, I told my parents the truth about our relationship, but they really like you because they're trying so hard to do this. And to be honest, I really like you because everyone loves beauty; but liking you doesn't mean it's love. Besides, I still have a lot of important things to do, so if you really want to, let's get along well. Regarding what steps we will take, let us pay attention to how it will be, and discuss about this again later. ”
Shaman?
Mu Wanying looked at Tang Xiu in disbelief, but that pleasant surprise quickly filled his heart. So you could say, will they be in a relationship later?

The Kanas hunting grounds.
After recovering for a few days, Jin Sanchi had removed all the poison in his body, while Ji Sijie's wounds had also healed. None of them left, as they were waiting for the investigative news from the Strange Door men. For the two of them, finding out clearly about Tang Xiu's identity was extremely important because the matter of the Immortal Trove, however, was of the utmost importance. They have to do whatever it takes to get it if there is a chance.
Dum dum dum…
Strange sounds, like the beat of a drum coming from the distant sky, were as if drilling into their hearts. The rhythm of the sound was very special, and it felt like it was a sign of calling for them. The skin of Jin Sanchi and Jin Sijie changed greatly. The two men who had previously been cultivating in the room looked at each other with faces of disbelief painted on, as their figures instantly disappeared a moment after.
Behind the mountain hunting Kanas.
After the two men quickly flew past the highest peak of the mountain, they raised their hands almost simultaneously to rub their eyes. As their line of sight becomes clearer and convinced that they are not seeing something, they knelt on the ground and repeatedly kowtowed to an old man sitting cross-legged under an old tree at the peak.
The old man, whose body gave off a foul smell and wore a long, hand-knit hemp robe, had hair wrapped around like a bun and wrinkles on his face. His eyes were extremely deep and profound as if he had a universe contained within them, along with the sun, moon, and stars. His thin hand held the snare drum which was the source of the strange drumming coming from above.
The flax-robed old man smiled faintly and said, “This old man never expected to be alive. If not for ... The Imperial Dragon Chart protected the last part of my soul soul soul and foretold that an imminent calamity befell you two, I might have already perished and my soul was lost. ”
A great disaster will befall them?
Jin Sanchi and Jin Sijie looked at each other and suddenly recalled the crisis a few days ago. The expression in their eyes as they looked at the flax-robed old man turned more respectful. Their master left them two magic weapons over 60 years ago as well as an ancient manual for cultivating before he flew, and no news of him had been heard from since. After all these years, they thought that their Master was dead, and never thought that he was still alive and came back to see them again someday.
They were both raised by their Master, Daoist Qiankun. Back when Daoist Qiankun adopted them, he was already 180 years old and, coupled with the time he had been missing for about 20 years and was still alive, it showed that he was now 260 years old.
"Have you broken through to the Golden Core Stage, Master?" Jin Sanchi asked with a cautious expression.
Daoist Qiankun nodded and said, “More than 60 years ago, I truly feel that breaking through to the Golden Core Stage is imminent, hence I secluded myself from the world to cultivate, I have completely isolated myself, and finally become a Gold Core Stage expert. However, when I broke through, the damned Blind persecuted and trapped me within the abstruse Yin Lands, but then I was able to step on Nascent, thus escaping the hardship. I probably wouldn't have been able to escape if it wasn't for the Imperial Dragon Chart. ”
"Have you just said that you have broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, Master?" Jin Sijie shouted hurriedly.
"Since when was breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage an easy feat to accomplish?" Daoist Qiankun shook his head. “The Dragon Empire stored the blood essence of the two of you first, children. It just so happened that I had a secret art that I injected into it, and thus I sensed that there would be a disaster that would befall you both. Never did I expect that I would finally be able to escape from the abstruse Yin Lands after destroying my Golden Core in order to blow up the Imperial Dragon Chart. ”
Self Destroying the Golden Core?
Jin Sanchi and Jin Sijie were stunned. Although they had yet to reach the Golden Core Stage, they also knew what the consequences of their own Golden Core explosion would be.
"But Sir, you ... Are you okay now?" Jin Sanchi's heart was full of emotions, with worries and worries.
“My cultivation dropped sharply by four levels, and my current situation is only comparable to the Early Golden Core Stage. "Daois Qiankun smiled bitterly. “I was very lucky to get a manual called 'Source Crossing to Ultimate Essence' and save myself from becoming disabled. All right, let's talk about you now. Are you having problems at this point? "
Jin Sanchi quickly said of the recent events and finally said, “Tang Xiu now occupies the Immortal Trove. We dare not act rashly because we do not yet know the power behind it. ”
A cold glint flashed in Daoist Qiankun's eyes. He was shocked by the existence of the Immortal Trove. In fact, escaping from the abstruse depths of the Yin Land was not entirely for his two disciples, but if he did not find a way to escape from the place, it was not, then he would be stuck there forever and finally meet his end thoroughly.
"Just wait for the news. The matter regarding the Immortal Trove is the most important matter since we ourselves have the destiny of meeting with immortality, to begin with. The reason why we really shouldn't miss it. '' Daoist Qiankun even secretly decided that even if Tang Xiu had great power behind him, he would still have to involve himself and do everything he could even if the probabilities were small. Otherwise, with the current situation, he would only be able to defend himself for a few years. Added a few more decades and he would not be able to return to his peak and would definitely die on the path of cultivation.

Star City's.
Tang Xiu and Mu Wanying stood side by side while watching the faint street lights outside the window, each with their own thoughts. However, as their four elders pushed them hard, neither Tang Xiu nor Mu Wanying could deny them at this moment. Moreover, the end result would only make their parents' faces ugly.
"When are you going back to Shanghai?"
Inwardly, Mu Wanying was overjoyed and happy, even though he hid it very well. He finally broke a long silence with that question.
"Should have been daydream!" Answer Tang Xiu.
"Let's go together then!" Mu Wanying said softly. “I've been carrying my stuff since I originally planned to go to Shanghai from Star City. ”
"Good . No problem, "tang Xiu said with a smile.
Upon seeing Tang Xiu's smiling face, Mu Wanying suddenly said, "Tang Xiu, it really doesn't matter if you can't accept our relationship. At worst, we will remain the same as before, a fake couple. ”
"Fake couple?" Tang Xiu smiled. "Regardless of whether it's like that or not, it really doesn't matter as long as both parties don't reject the idea. Let's let nature take its course, shall we? We cannot say for sure what will happen in the future. ”
"All right!" Mu Wanying nodded gently.
