918 When the Road Ends, the Divine Bridge Raises (2/2)
Qin Mu laughed. ”Well, I'm a Celestial Venerable after all. If people want to kill me, I doubt your residence would be able to protect me. If they dare to kill a Celestial Venerable, why would they care about the Yun family?”
Yun Jianli frowned slightly and said to Yun Chuxiu, ”Sister, I will stay here for a couple of days. You will return to the Yun residence first and report to my grandmother and great grandmother that I'm fine.”
Yun Chuxiu acknowledged it as she rose with a laugh. ”I too would like to stay here and consult Celestial Venerable on some difficult problems. If I return later, you won't chase me out, will you?”
Qin Mu shook his head and replied, ”No. There are many houses here, so both of you can stay here to your heart's content.”
Yun Chuxiu slowly withdrew from the Slow Winding Pavilion.
Qin Mu rose and laughed, saying, ”I'll bring you to find a place to stay.”
Yun Jianli followed him, and both of them exited the Slow Winding Pavilion. Qi Jiuyi, Yan'er, and the dragon qilin followed them.
The beauty of the Jade Pool was impeccable, and today, it was even more splendid than when Qin Mu was there in the past. As Qin Mu strolled around the pool, admiring the scenery, he suddenly asked, ”Brother Yun, how did you get to know Yun Chuxiu?”
Yun Jianli laughed. ”Does Celestial Venerable have intentions towards her?”
Qin Mu laughed heartily and replied, ”She's a sweet, fair, and graceful lady that would be a good mate. Although I'm about to die, I feel that I can still find a good mate for one last time.”
Yun Jianli's expression grew grave before he admitted, ”To be honest, Celestial Venerable, I don't know her origins.”
Qin Mu was slightly startled. ”She's your sworn sister, yet you don't know her origins?”
Yun Jianli continued, ”I have never heard of her before. One day, she just suddenly appeared in the celestial heavens and shook the entire place. There were countless suitors after her, yet she grew close to me with an ambiguous intent, which almost got me killed. Not long ago, I was challenged countless times by her suitors! Luckily, I was capable enough to live through all of it, which made me more vigilant.”
Qin Mu laughed. ”Brother Yun, why are you vigilant?”
”I'm a person that's about to die, while she's such a beautiful lady with countless suitors, which even includes a god king in the heavens above. Despite that, she chooses to accompany a dying person like me.”
Indifferently, Yun Jianli said, ”I'm not as narcissistic as Qi Jiuyi, I know that she has a motive for approaching me. Thus, I figured why not become sworn siblings with her and put her by my side to observe what she has planned.”
Qi Jiuyi was still in a muddleheaded state and hadn't recovered from Yun Chuxiu's beauty. He smiled and blurted out, ”What should our child's name be?”
Qin Mu glanced at him in confusion, not knowing what sort of daydream Qi Jiuyi was having.
”Has Brother Yun discovered the motive of Yun Chuxiu?” Qin Mu inquired.
Yun Jianli smiled gently. ”Yes, I have. Her motive is you, Celestial Venerable Mu.”
Qin Mu was stunned and couldn't stop himself from smiling. ”Yun Chuxiu's motive is me? How could that be possible? Brother Yun, you must be joking!”
Yun Jianli replied firmly, ”Celestial Venerable Mu has returned to the celestial heavens, and I, as the only male heir of the Yun family, am bound to meet you due to my ancestor's command. That being the case, I'm the best way to get to know you. Besides…”
He stopped, and Qin Mu stopped too before asking, ”Besides what?”
”Besides, as one of the strongest Divine Bridge Realm practitioners of the celestial heavens, should I become jealous due to her and slay you, it would be greatly detrimental to the Yun family.”
Yun Jianli laughed. ”If I, the only adult male within the Yun family, died at the hands of Celestial Venerable Mu, that would be interesting. The grandmother and great grandmother of the Yun family would slay you in fury. In that scenario, you would be dead, and the Yun family would cease to exist, killing two birds with one stone.”
Qin Mu laughed. ”You'll become jealous?”
Yun Jianli panted slightly, shook his head, and replied, ”No. I'm already indifferent to life and death, so why would I be provoked by her? I'm just worried that you will be provoked by her.”
Qin Mu replied, ”Well, that's not certain. Although she's pretty, she isn't the prettiest in my heart.”
Yun Jianli asked curiously, ”Then, what do you, Celestial Venerable Mu, believe to constitute the prettiest lady?”
Without hesitation, Qin Mu answered, ”Big breasts, a perky butt, with muscles sprinkled all over the body, on top of it being well-built.”
Yun Jianli was utterly amazed.
After a long while, he calmed himself down and jokingly said, ”Celestial Venerable Mu's idea of a perfect lady is truly unique. To be honest, I sent Yun Chuxiu away for another reason. That reason being the other command left behind by our ancestor.”
Qin Mu solemnly asked, ”What were the last words of Celestial Venerable Yun?”
Yun Jianli replied, ”Our ancestor appeared many times using Celestial Venerable Mu's appearance, assuming the appearance during the Dragon Han Era. Then, some people said that Celestial Venerable Mu had grown weaker, believing that our ancestor was no match for Celestial Venerable Mu and saying that he was a haughty person.”
He didn't continue on.
Qin Mu replied, ”Celestial Venerable Yun wasn't weaker than me.”
”Yet the world thinks otherwise.”
Yun Jianli sighed and continued, ”Before our ancestor left, his last words were, firstly, to kowtow and plead guilty to the incident where he assumed Celestial Venerable Mu's identity. Secondly, the ancestor also wanted to know if his techniques could triumph against that of Celestial Venerable Mu's. In his last words, he commanded that his descendants show off his techniques to Celestial Venerable Mu should they meet him.”
Qin Mu smiled. ”Yet, your body is unwell, can you perform this task?”
Yun Jianli smiled confidently. ”Celestial Venerable Mu's body is also unwell. In fact, I was worried that you couldn't make it instead.”
Qin Mu laughed heartily. ”If it was in front of outsiders, my body certainly couldn't make it. However, if it's you, my body is in good condition. What is the name of Celestial Venerable Yun's technique?”
Yun Jianli leaned on the railing and looked at the Jade Sea. The sickly master chanted loudly, ”The thousand peaks rise into the sky. When the road ends, the divine bridge raises. The stars close in on the blue skies above, and beneath it, the mortal world stretches vastly!”
”When the road ends, the divine bridge raises?”
Qin Mu understood what this sentence meant and finally understood why Celestial Venerable Yun opened the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure.
'During that time, after Celestial Venerable You opened the Life and Death Divine Treasure, divine arts practitioners had no way out. Where there was no road, Celestial Venerable Yun raised a Divine Bridge Divine Treasure. It was this treasure that inspired Celestial Venerable Yu, and it was then that Celestial Venerable Yu opened the celestial palace at the end of the divine bridge.'
He clapped his hands and praised, ”When the road ends, the divine bridge raises. Nice! How nice! Unfortunately, it's outdated.”
