Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1435 Engaged Before Birth
Sword Room.
Chen Xi was reading the jade slip with his head lowered. The jade slip noted that various rumors were made after Xuanyuan Poxiao's announcement.
The jade slip was sent to him by A'Xiu, and he was sitting lazily by the side now.
"Are there actually people who think we've become Dao Companions?" Chen Xi put the jade down and looked at A'Xiu with a strange expression.
A'Xiu frowned his soft little mouth and said casually, "That's just a guess. Could it be that you intend to take it seriously? '' As he spoke, his clear eyes twisted while glancing at Chen Xi with a pretty look.
The flirtatious expression he revealed at that moment carried a shocking charm.
Chen Xi coughed dryly and hurriedly changed the subject. “However, I really have to say thank you this time. To be honest, being able to obtain the full support of the Xuanyuan Clan far exceeded my expectations. "
“Didn't you give my Grandfather's Spirit a Dao Fruit? If he still didn't make some kind of show for it, he would really go too far. "A 'Xiu spoke casually.
"Grandfather?" Chen Xi was astonished. "So, Senior Xuanyuan Poxiao is your Grandfather?"
A'Xiu said angrily, "The entire Eternal Dimension knows that, but it just so happens that you only understand now. You are heartless. "
Chen Xi was a little embarrassed. She had indeed paid no attention to the origins of A'Xiu, and she was only aware that she was the little princess of the Xuanyuan Clan. As for who her father, mother, and ancestors were, she had not known it at all.
It wasn't that he didn't care about her, and it was because he felt there was absolutely no need to do this. His relationship with A'Xiu was not due to how prominent he was.
"Wait." Suddenly, Chen Xi shook his head.
"What?" A'Xiu raised his eyebrows.
"When I attended the birthday ceremony, you already told me that the Xuanyuan Clan will support me, and I still haven't had the opportunity to present the Spirit Fruit Dao at that time." As he spoke, Chen Xi looked towards A'Xiu with a serious expression. "A, Xiu, I always have a question in my heart, can you tell me exactly why you always help me?"
This question had been kept in Chen Xi's heart for too long. It was not that he suspected A'Xiu had other intentions, and it was because he knew A'Xiu, that he had always secretly helped him. As of now, he had even made the entire Xuanyuan Clan support him, so he would be completely heartless if he still acted as if he was unaware of something. He would be no different from a heartless and ungrateful person.
At this moment, Chen Xi's expression was extremely solemn. His gaze was extremely deep, and it caused A'Xiu to be unable to help but panic in his heart and not dare to meet his gaze.
A'Xiu lowered her head while her beautiful brows united slightly, and her beautiful and beautiful face was covered by a struggling expression. He seemed very hesitant.
Chen Xi was in no hurry, and she stared silently at A’Xiu.
The atmosphere became silent for a moment.
After some time, A'Xiu bit his teeth and raised his head, and he looked at Chen Xi angrily before he said angrily, "Alright, I'll tell you, okay."
Chen Xi smiled bitterly. "I'm not forcing you. It's just .. You've helped me a lot, and if this continues, then I probably won't be able to eat and sleep in the future. "
“What do you mean by not being able to eat and sleep? To me it seems like you are too suspicious, "A'Xiu snorted, and then he bit his moist lips and sighed lightly in the end. "Actually .. you will understand everything after saving Aunt Zuoqiu Xue."
Chen Xi's eyes immediately opened wide. Could it be that all of this is related to my mother? It really exceeded his expectations.
“How do I say it? This was a problem a long time ago. At that time, my father was still not the Patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan, and he had once traveled the Eternal Dimension with Aunt Zuoqiu Xue, and his clear, melodious, and pleasant voice in the ears rang out endlessly within the residence.
It turned out that when A'Xiu’s Father, the current Patriarch of Xuanyuan Clan, Xuanyuan Shao, was young, he was one of the people who adored Zuoqiu Xue. For the sake of obtaining Zuoqiu Xue's heart, Zuoqiu Shao had even left the clan to follow Zuoqiu Xue wherever he went for several hundred years.
Unfortunately, his love is unrequited. Zuoqiu Xue had always regarded Xuanyuan Shao as a brother, and Xuanyuan Shao was also aware of this, so he couldn't help but be a little sad. However, he still remained bitterly with her. Regretfully, after the passage of so many years, he was still unable to move Zuoqiu Xue's heart, and he gave up completely.
However, Xuanyuan Shao was a strange man. After experiencing this affliction of love, he became fully enlightened, and he stopped being infatuated with Zuoqiu Xue and considered her a friend who understood him.
Later on, he even made a pact with Zuoqiu Xue that if they each had their own sons and daughters, then these two children should get married, and that could be considered a form of happy fate.
Zuoqiu Xue naturally agreed to this. Moreover, something worthy of mention was that Zuoqiu Xue was still single at that time, and Chen Xi's father, Chen Lingjun, still had not appeared …
When she heard these words, A'Xiu's pretty face flushed red, and then she said angrily, "It was a deal made between Father and mother. It has absolutely nothing to do with me! "
Chen Xi scratched his head. "Err, I'm just a little surprised. If we were both men or women, then what do you think would happen with their agreement? "
A'Xiu had obviously thought about this question a long time ago, and he answered without the slightest hesitation. "They will naturally become sworn brothers or sisters."
Chen Xi was silent. "That's a really good idea."
"Hmph! Don't think that I'm stupid enough to like you and intend to be Dao Companions with you. "A'Xiu looked at Chen Xi proudly. “Any years ago when I learned this from my Dad, I was so angry in my heart. I haven't even been born yet, so how could he find me a Dao Friend like that? Thus, I left the clan at night and headed to the Mortal Dimension with the help of my Ancestral Uncle. "
Chen Xi was stunned. "You wouldn't have come to look for me back then, would you?"
A’Xiu snorted and said, “Of course. At that moment, I was constantly thinking about how I should teach you a good lesson and make you obediently let go of such thoughts. Even until I decide that I will kill you if I have no other choice! "
When he spoke here, he glared sharply at Chen Xi, and then he could not help but laugh. He laughed to the point that even his eyes formed two crescent moons, and then he said, “Fortunately, when I met you, I had a rather good impression of you, I'm sure, the food you cook is delicious. So I can barely refrain from dealing with you. "
Chen Xi was completely silent. The cause and effect of this problem is actually like this! Of course, he knew that A'Xiu was mostly joking. However, the fact might be like this, and this perfectly explains why A'Xiu continued to do his best to help him in the Mortal Dimension all those years ago.
Now, the Xuanyuan Clan had announced that it would support him, and it must have been due to the efforts made by the Patriarch, Xuanyuan Shao. After all, according to what A'Xiu said, Xuanyuan Shao could be considered to have a deep friendship with his mother, Zuoqiu Xue.
When he realized this, Chen Xi suddenly felt a hint of admiration towards his father whom he had never met. My mother was the heir to one of the great ancient clans many years ago, and she was a genius that even a peerless figure like Xuanyuan Shao was unable to take heart with, yet as a cultivator who came from a clan in Dimensional Mortal, my father actually won my mother's heart. This ability is incredible.
The corner of Chen Xi's mouth slightly curved. A'Xiu seemed to have seen through his mind and could not help but snort before he said, "Do you think that my father is inferior to your Father?"
Chen Xi was stunned, and then she smiled bitterly as she said, "Is it necessary to compare them like this?"
A'Xiu pursed his lips and said, "Don't think your father is just a small cultivator from the Mortal Dimension. According to my father, your father's origins are not simple at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just watched when your father took Aunt Zuoqiu Xue away. "
Chen Xi was shocked in her heart because Xuanyuan Shao was the current Patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan, yet he actually said that Chen Lingjun's origin was not simple at all? What does this mean?
Chen Xi accidentally recalled the information she had heard about her father in recent years.
He recalled that the Sect Master of the Nine Swords Sword Sect, Wen Huating, had once said that the Great Grand Meeting was held in the Dark Reverie many years ago, and it gathered all the top figures from the various great powers in Dark Reverie. It was led by the Sect Master of the Ascension Holy Land at that time, Miao Yunji, and they headed to the Northern Underworld Sea with the intent to obtain the divine treasure, the Star Manor.
Then, Star Manor was obtained by Chen Xi's mother, Zuoqiu Xue, and Miao Yunji and the others originally intended to snatch it from him, yet they were all defeated by Zuoqiu Xue. In the end, Chen Xi's father, Chen Lingjun, asked them to survive.
It was precisely because of this that Miao Yunji and all the great figures from Dark Reverie owed Chen Lingjun a favor, and it was precisely because of this that Chen Lingjun was able to enter the Eternal Dimension through the Secret Realm under the help of the Saintly Land of Ascension and other great figures. (Please see Chapter 748 for details.)
At that moment, Chen Xi's impression of her father was not very clear, and she only felt that the reason for her father's strength was so great was mostly due to her mother's help.
Later, Chen Xi met Bai Wanqing, and she learned more of the past matters from Bai Wanqing. However, Bai Wanqing did not know much about Chen Lingjun, and it only allowed Chen Xi to understand one thing – his father's strength was even stronger than he expected.
When he entered the Eternal Dimension, he learned from Ling Bai that his father, Chen Lingjun, had entered the Prehistoric Ruins after arriving at the Eternal Dimension. Moreover, even Heaven Trampler had heard many rumors related to his father.
Unfortunately, when Chen Xi arrived at the Prehistoric Ruins, he missed his father again, and the clues he obtained were also very limited. However, he vaguely understood from all this that his father was not at all simple, yet all of this could not be verified.
At this moment, when he found out from A'xiu that even the Patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan, Xuanyuan Shao, felt that his father, Chen Lingjun, was not simple at all, Chen Xi did not feel suddenly enlightened at all, and she instead felt even more confused.
What kind of figure ... she?
If he was just an ordinary little cultivator from the Mortal Dimension, then how could he possibly get my mother's heart? How could he possibly enter the Prehistoric Ruins? And how could he make Xuanyuan Shao feel that he was not simple at all?
"Actually, there is absolutely no need for you to think much about it. Perhaps you will get the answer you want after saving Aunt Zuoqiu Xue, "A'Xiu said from the side.
Chen Xi immediately woke up from her deep contemplation, and then she nodded and said firmly, "You're right. I will definitely save my mother from the Immeasurable Iris Immortal Prison, and that will be the case soon! "
