The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 234 - Life in the Mountains

Lan Luo would stay in Xuanyuan City and return to the Eighth Palace. Hua Qiyue made him release news that he had slain Hua Qiyue to get himself readmitted into the Dark Sect.

Although the Dark Sect would be suspicious, they would not do anything to Lan Luo before they had any evidence against him.

When Lan Luo returned to the Eighth Palace, he would become her p.a.w.n. If she came out one day, then she would surely collect the latest, most complete secrets of the Dark Sect.

The company took several hours to reach the mountain Yun s.h.i.+mo had been inhabiting—the Moon Eclipse Mountain.

Here contains natural anima energy, which is way more plentiful than Xuanyuan City’s.

More importantly, the lay of the land was excellent. After setting up the Great Crystal Array, only someone who reached the level of Great Completeness of Holy G.o.d could tell that there was a formation here.

If other Qi Artists stumbled in, they would skirt around Yun s.h.i.+mo’s array, but they could not enter it.

Hua Qiyue brought Tianci along and stopped by the cave entrance. If it weren’t for Tianci, she would not have followed Yun s.h.i.+mo here. Since she had a few good friends to keep her company, she was not afraid of being embarra.s.sed.

Princess Qianyang was sitting outside of the cave, doing embroidery. When she saw Hua Qiyue and the others, she stared in stunned shock at Yun s.h.i.+mo and at the rest. Her eyes were full of complex emotions.

“Sister Princess, this is my Mom!” Tianci waved Hua Qiyue’s hand complacently. Provocation lay in his eyes.

Princess Qianyang’s expression was very calm. She put down the embroidery she was working on and gave a smile. “So it’s you people.”

Hua Qiyue was somewhat surprised. Shouldn’t this woman show her jealousy and rage now?

After all, she was Yun s.h.i.+mo’s former lover.

“Humph, Princess Qianyang, I didn’t expect you to be so shameless. You’ve tricked Brother Yun away… ” Ji Jing pouted her mouth and gave Princess Qianyang a challenging look.

Princess Qianyang lowered her head in some awkwardness. “It’s not like that…”

After all, on that day, it was Yun s.h.i.+mo who had found her and asked her to elope with him.

Princess Qianyang had given up her wealth and n.o.bility and followed Yun s.h.i.+mo to this desolate place. But she had never once complained before. Now, she was being criticized for her shamelessness?

Madame Yun heard the noise and walked out to take a look. “Qiyue, so it’s you people. Come on inand have a seat!” She found five or six people there and was surprised and delighted.

The rims of Hua Qiyue’s eyes were slightly red. The company sat at the cave entrance. They were midway up the mountain. A cool breeze blew in, making them feel comfortable.

Tianci stayed by Hua Qiyue’s side, pestering her relentlessly. Now and then, Hua Qiyue would fondle his head with a smile. In her heart, though, she was planning to give Yun s.h.i.+mo a sound thras.h.i.+ng.

After getting everyone to feel at home, Madame Yun brought out tea and roast hare meat.

“I think I need to explain… our Yun family feud.” Yun s.h.i.+mo said quietly.

Hua Qiyue and the rest stared at him. Yun s.h.i.+mo’s countenance was unruffled.

Since their enemy was someone who had forced Yun s.h.i.+mo and Madame Yun into seclusion, he could not be an ordinary foe.

It had been a while since the hare saw Yun s.h.i.+mo last time. It leaped onto his shoulder, crouching lazily.

“Our family foe is one of the old freaks of Tianyuan Continent who’ve mastered the Spirit Summoning Art—Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan. He is one of the oldest elders of Tianyuan Continent. My father’s one generation younger than him. Our Yun family used to possess a divine item, the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead. If one ingests it, one can reach the Great Completeness of Holy G.o.d at once and possess an invincible steel body… ” Yun s.h.i.+mo’s words made everyone experience a great shock.

The Purple Primordial Chaos Bead was mentioned in Changjing Kingdom’s ancient annals, The Legends of G.o.ds and Saints. According to the annals, it was a purplish spherical bead.

But the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead was a shockingly powerful treasure. It would not prove effective for everyone who had swallowed it. If that person had not been accepted by the bead, he would be engulfed by the bead instead. He would turn insane, losing the ability to think like an ordinary human being.

And he might become the Devil of the age. Therefore, the Yun family had always attached great importance to the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead.

The family of Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan coveted the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead. During a great battle 10 years ago, Yun Xuan had died trying to defend Yun s.h.i.+mo and hold Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan back.

Yun s.h.i.+mo and Madame Yun fled for refuge to Changjing Kingdom and settled down there.

Although the Xuanyuan family was one of the three major clans of the continent, it was suppressed by the other two. They no longer dared to pursue Yun s.h.i.+mo and Madame Yun.

Yun s.h.i.+mo got someone to send his father’s body to Changjing Kingdom. He used a special method to preserve his father’s remnant spirit.

Then, Yun s.h.i.+mo tried all means and ways to resurrect his father. When he revived him in a physical body, the whole family started to cultivate like crazy.

But after the battle with the Gnawing Devils Sect, Yun s.h.i.+mo’s whereabouts had been leaked. Their entire family had to leave Changjing Kingdom for some other place.

This mountain chain was very special. It carried supreme ying Qi, allowing the Great Crystal Array which Yun s.h.i.+mo had learned from the hare to exhibit its greatest power.

After all, the hare had imparted only ancient formations to Yun s.h.i.+mo. So, when the Xuanyuan Family tried to kill Yun s.h.i.+mo, they could not dispel the array even though they knew where he had lived.

After one year, the Xuanyuan Family finally gave up and returned to their family, trying to think of new plans.

Of course, although the main threats of the Xuanyuan Family were gone, they still left behind a few small fries to keep an eye on Yun s.h.i.+mo.

Tianci was seized because that man knew Tianci was Yun s.h.i.+mo’s adopted son.

That man was the lowest of the low in the Xuanyuan Family. Yet his Qi Art level was at the medium level of Round Sun.

His Qi Art was still so much higher than of Ji Feng’s and the rest of the group. Even a small fry was so powerful—let alone the supreme House Master of the Xuanyuan Family!

“Which level is the House Master of the Xuanyuan Family at? The Great Completeness of Holy G.o.d?” Xuanji asked.

“No, I heard that he’s already at the lower level of Great Deity. Even all of us combined will not be his match,” Yun s.h.i.+mo replied.

Hua Qiyue snorted and said to Tianci, “Tianci, go inside with your Grandma and play. We have some matters to discuss with Dad.”

Tianci blinked his eyes. Madame Yun sensibly took the boy away. After all, their remaining conversation would not prove beneficial to Tianci’s hearing.

Hua Qiyue did not want Yun s.h.i.+mo to be shameless in Tianci’s eyes. The image of the father is extremely important in a child’s heart.

If the image of his father is bad, the boy may imitate the father when he grows up. So Hua Qiyue would rather refrain from cursing Yun s.h.i.+mo in front of Tianci.

Yun s.h.i.+mo looked gratefully at Hua Qiyue. “Thank you, Qiyue… Tianci always thinks I’m a very powerful Dad who loves him.”

When they heard this, both Xuanji and Ji Feng glanced admiringly at Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue did not accept his grat.i.tude. Her voice went cold. “Yun s.h.i.+mo, why involve Tianci when your enemies are searching for you? And you took him away, not leaving a word. You’re such a great dad!” Hua Qiyue said, gritting her teeth. Everyone could see her hatred. She could no longer disguise it.

“It has nothing to do with Tianci? His tummy hurt just now because… ” Yun s.h.i.+mo took a deep breath and could not say anything more.

Hua Qiyue was startled. Was Yun s.h.i.+mo not responsible for the way Tianci felt just now?

“It’s not a good time to tell you the whole matter about Tianci now. But Tianci can’t leave this place. You can stay here for a while, until Tianci’s matter is resolved… then, you can decide yourselves whether to stay or leave.” With these words, Yun s.h.i.+mo turned and headed outside. The slanting rays fell upon his body, illuminating his solitary figure.

Hua Qiyue sat there in a daze, her mind in total disarray.

There seemed to be a reason for Yun s.h.i.+mo taking Tianci away. Otherwise, he would not have left with him.

Judging from his appearance, he indeed had some unspeakable reason.

Hua Qiyue did want to think too much. She heard footsteps behind her and realized that Tianci and Madame Yun were out.

“This boy is afraid that you will leave, Qiyue. So he wants to come out after a short game,” Madame Yun said with a quiet smile.

Tianci ran out and dashed into Hua Qiyue’s arms.

Hot tears almost gushed out of Hua Qiyue’s eyes. She embraced him gently. “Tianci, no matter what happens, Mom will never leave you.”

Tianci started to chuckle. “Tianci believes in Mom. Mom, my Qi Art’s at the Great Completeness of Cultivation Dimension now!”

Hua Qiyue had a big shock. She sized Tianci up from head to toe, then touched his forehead. He was not running a temperature.

Tianci removed all the inhibitions on his body and his anima energy immediately surged out. Hua Qiyue natually could sense that Tianci was at the Great Completeness of Cultivation Dimension.

The company gave gasps of surprise. They all said that Tianci was even more of a genius than Hua Qiyue.

The hare was so angry that he nearly threw up blood. “A devil, a devil… what a terrible devil. I bet 10 years later, Tianci will be invincible throughout the world!”

“Haha, how can my son be a mediocre person?” Hua Qiyue started to laugh complacently. The rest all joined in with benign smiles.

Although they were here, everyone still continued to follow Hua Qiyue. Their hearts had not changed.

Therefore, after taking their meals, they started to clear the land in the woods just in front of the cave. They chopped the fallen timber and started to erect log cabins there.

Xuanji seemed especially adept at this. He was insanely fast in erecting log cabins, unrivaled by ordinary men. He spent two hours and managed to build two log cabins, exactly like the ones in the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave.

“Goodness me, Brother Xuan’s craftsmans.h.i.+p is superb. We’ve lived in the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave for over a year and feel an attachment to that place. Just look at these two log cabins… they evoke a very strong affection in us!” Ji Jing smiled. She stared at Xuanji with admiration.

Xuanji pursed his lips. In front of the rest, he had always maintained an indifferent att.i.tude.

“Jing’s right. These two cabins look so familiar… I miss our days in the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave. But it’s not too bad here. Although the anima energy isn’t as abundant, it’s still a good place to be in.” Ji Feng smiled. Hua Qiyue sat under a huge tree, directing her breaths in and out and cultivating. Soon, she slowly came out of her cultivation trance.

Tianci sat by her side, staring at the two log cabins with his big round eyes.

“Mom, were you living together with these uncles?” Tianci’s eyes were full of queries. He knew nothing about Hua Qiyue’s past, which was why he had asked.

“Yes. We lived in a certain place once together.” Hua Qiyue caressed his hair. “Tianci, in the future, you must cultivate like Mom. You’re very gifted. Mom will impart you some of my special arts. Then, you can avoid dangers whenever you come across them.”

She could not forget the moment when despicable minion of the Xuanyuan Family who had attacked them sneakily and abducted Tianci.

If she had not mastered the Spirit Summoning Art, Tianci would probably be abducted.
