Chapter 149 : Tyrannical Valley Immortal Spring Physique (1)
To a young cultivator, losing their dao foundation would be a fatal blow. However, Chen Baojiao was able to do it in such a resolute and staunch manner.
Such determination impressed the cold-as-ice Li Shuangyan and also earned her admiration. This matter required a huge amount of perseverance.
“What happened? Dao Child Sheng Tian wanted to marry you?”
This was within Li Qiye’s expectations. He understood the Tyrannical Valley Immortal Spring Physique more than anyone else; the people with this Physique were always forthright and unyielding. This was the same with the ancestral grandmother of the Chen Clan; when she was young, she was a very brash princess. Even after she became a mother, she was still soft on the outside but tough on the inside as she assisted her husband and educated their children.
“I wouldn’t marry him even if I have to die!”
Chen Baojiao coldly said with an absolute tone.
Originally, the Heavenly God Sect had ordered for the Jade Valley Country to marry Chen Baojiao to Dao Child Sheng Tian. They were already engaged from before, so it was a natural progression. Plus, the Jewel Pillar Sacred School along with the Jade Valley Country were both happy to become allies with the Heavenly God Sect so the marriage date was set.
However, Chen Baojiao adamantly refused! In the past, she was already against this marriage, but this time, Chen Baojiao would rather die than accept this marriage! Either she would not marry, or her corpse would be the thing that gets sent.
Dao Child Sheng Tian did not try to save her at the Evil Infested Ridge, he chose to be cold blooded for his own benefits instead. This made Chen Baojiao even more resolute and without any room for negotiations when she canceled this marriage.
Even though the Jewel Pillar Sacred School forced her to marry, since Chen Baojiao would rather die instead, what were they going to do? Marry the corpse away? This caused the two factions to turn against each other.
In the end, Chen Baojiao destroyed her dao foundation and gave everything back to the school. The reality was that this was with the protection of the Chen Clan. Otherwise, she would have not been able to leave.
“Good, I shall accept you.”
Li Qiye nodded his head and said:
“But, I won’t take in people of unknown origins.”
After speaking, he stared at the two people dressed in black next to Chen Baojiao.
At this time, the two that were dressed in black took off their hats. It was one man and one woman who had features resembling Chen Baojiao.
These two were her parents, and this was a painful decision for them. She was such a good daughter, yet she ended up with this result.
“Father, Mother, you guys don’t have to worry about me, I will be fine.”
Chen Baojiao stood up to hug her parents who were unwilling to separate from her. At this time, she was still strong. However, she did not notice the tears glimmering in her eyes.
Even with thousands of words spoken, separation was still an inevitable end. This scene caused a melancholic atmosphere, yet Chen Baojiao still tried to hold back her tears.
“This old servant will stay back to take care of Young Miss. This old servant is not a disciple of the Chen Clan!”
Near the time of departure, the old servant said:
“That year, this old servant owed Brother Chen my life and agreed to take care of his descendants and so, I stayed behind. I can no longer listen to and follow your words anymore in the future, Master and Lady…”
He then bowed down to the Chen Clan’s husband and wife.
“Uncle Shi said too much. When my father was still alive, he told this nephew to treat Uncle Shi like a senior. With Uncle Shi taking care of Baojiao, I can be without worries.”
The Chen Clan’s couple quickly lifted him up.
Finally, they bowed down to Li Qiye and said:
“Our daughter will be relying on Young Noble Li. I hope that you will take good care of her.”
To the Chen couple, bringing their daughter here to be a maid for someone was a hard decision. It was difficult for Chen Baojiao to convince her parents.
After sending away the couple, Li Qiye stared at Chen Baojiao and said:
“From now on, you will live with Shuangyan. As for what to do, Shuangyan will teach you. As for Grandpa Shi… How about this, you can be the guest advisor of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. As long as you swear loyalty to the sect, I will not mistreat you.”
“Thank you for your guidance, I will keep it in my mind.”
The old servant said as he bowed his head. He didn’t dare to underestimate this young man. He had seen Li Qiye’s methods — smiling while killing ten thousand experts. Even the Ancient Saint and the Azure Mysterious Ancient Kingdom were all trapped in his calculations. He was extremely optimistic about the abilities of this sixteen year old boy.
Chen Baojiao left with Li Shuangyan, and Li Qiye told Gu Tieshou to arrange a place for her and the old servant.
“The Chen Clan’s Shi Gandang!”
Gu Tieshou was shocked when he heard this news. He quickly and respectfully gestured before the old man in front.
“Brother Gu is too kind. That year, Shi Gandang had died. At this moment, this old man is simply just a nameless grandpa.”
Grandpa Shi quickly returned the gesture.
