Sheng Fu

Chapter 1144 A Sudden Boost of Morale
The gap between one major event and another is where it is easiest to feel empty inside, just like Yuwen Jun's current state of mind.

Suddenly, Yuwen Jun's expression hardened, and the chaotic imperial energy within his body surged and his spirit climbed to its peak. When everyone felt exhausted, he had to be vigorous and upward. Only in this way could he possibly capture that sliver of victory hidden in the darkness.

In fact, Yuwen Jun himself knew that this was a kind of metaphysics.

But sometimes, it's better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't.

He poured himself a cup of tea and savored it slowly.

Yuwen Jun knew very well that Qiu Qing's determination to die had naturally ignited Pu Weiqing's ambition, but now he could only hope that Pu Weiqing would not be too hot-blooded and would prioritize the overall situation.

Of course, if it came to the point where death was inevitable, Pu Weiqing would not hesitate at all.

The older generation of good people are gradually passing away.

The older generation of bad people are still enjoying a life of leisure.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Jun felt a surge of hatred, but he was unable to raise his sword against the old villains. The difficulty in his heart could not have been greater.

After an unknown amount of time, Yuwen Jun had a slight thought, and Jing Peiyao returned from Mingyue Mountain.

"What gift did you choose?" Yuwen Jun asked, glancing at Jing Peiyao's serene face.

Jing Peiyao was also somewhat surprised, sensing that Yuwen Jun's body was burning with hot blood, which was unusual. However, upon closer inspection, she found that Yuwen Jun's true energy was still orderly and there was no violent aspect to it.

“Master Fuyao’s notes,” Jing Peiyao replied softly.

Yuwen Jun nodded with satisfaction. He did not ask about Xiao Huangyue's recent situation. In fact, Yuwen Jun never worried about Xiao Huangyue's state of mind, and Xiao Huangyue's current situation was destined to be without any problems.

"Let's go." Yuwen Jun placed his hand on Jing Peiyao's seemingly delicate shoulder.

……

One Night Sect, Heavenly Sea Secret Realm.

In the elegant courtyard, Bei Hanfei strolled around holding her child, while Chu Yu was in seclusion.

Unlike Bei Hanmeng, Bei Hanfei could never bear to let Chu Yu do chores or play the role of a servant, even though Chu Yu was extremely willing to do such things. She just couldn't bear to.

Bei Hanmeng, to a certain extent, treated Chu Yu, this young boy, like a tireless beast, wishing that Chu Yu would personally carry out every task.

Bei Hanfei slightly raised her beautiful eyes, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "Come in quickly."

A moment later, Yuwen Jun and Jing Peiyao arrived in the courtyard. Since they were both women, Bei Hanfei's first glance fell on Jing Peiyao, and she praised her, "Indeed, she is young and promising. She already has such a solid foundation in Guiyuan."

Jing Peiyao subconsciously bowed slightly and said, "Senior, you flatter me. Compared with a certain Lingxiao Realm expert, I am really not worth mentioning."

Bei Hanfei then looked at Yuwen Jun. She had already heard Chu Yu tell her the details of Yuwen Jun's ascension to Lingxiao, but she just smiled calmly at Jing Peiyao and said, "His success was due to luck. When luck comes, he can succeed; when luck doesn't come, he will surely die. But you are the one with deep, still waters."

Yuwen Jun pretended not to hear anything; he had no mind to care about such things now.

Jing Peiyao moved slightly closer to Bei Hanfei and looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes.

For a fleeting moment, Jing Peiyao's usually aloof gaze slowly melted away, like a pool of spring water.

Bei Hanfei then handed the child to Jing Peiyao, smiling lovingly, "Come and hold him, and share in the joy."

Jing Peiyao took a deep breath, carefully took the child, wrapped her arms around him as if holding a priceless treasure, and held the child in her arms.

"Has Master's wife recovered to her peak condition?" Yuwen Jun then looked at Bei Hanfei and asked softly.

Bei Hanfei nodded slightly, then turned around to pour tea and water for the young couple.

The three of them slowly walked into the house, sat around a table, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Bei Hanfei glanced at Jing Peiyao, who was holding the baby cautiously, out of the corner of her eye, and inexplicably wanted to laugh. In terms of baby-holding skills alone, Jing Peiyao was clearly inferior to Chu Yu. At the same time, she also felt that it should be the younger generation who had children first.

Unexpectedly, it was the older woman who became pregnant first; truly, life is unpredictable.

"How are you all?" Bei Hanfei asked Yuwen Jun tentatively.

Yuwen Jun paused, then said embarrassedly, "There's been no improvement for now..."

"Could it be that Master's wife has some kind of unorthodox remedy here?"

If there were any unorthodox remedies, Yuwen Jun would certainly have considered them.

But now that Jing Peiyao's path of cultivation is becoming increasingly bright and promising, she probably has no intention of having a child, let alone the patience to raise a child to adulthood.

"I don't have any folk remedies, I was just asking casually," Bei Hanfei said with a slight smile.

Yuwen Jun slightly shifted his gaze, not daring to look directly into his master's eyes. But after thinking it over, he slowly opened the spatial artifact and took out the painting left by Gu Yong in his prime.

Jing Peiyao, who was holding the child, also subconsciously shifted her gaze over.

Seeing this, Bei Hanfei's eyes did not turn red, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and a few tears fell, showing a carefree appearance.

"That's quite a thoughtful gesture. I always thought he was a rough and uncultured man, but I never expected him to have such refined thoughts." Bei Hanfei gently caressed this youthful scene as if stroking a lover's face.

When Gu Yong was young, he could be described as having unparalleled talent and charm.

Yuwen Jun sighed, "Men's feelings are usually restrained and subtle, and often they are even indulging in self-admiration."

Upon hearing this, Bei Hanfei chuckled and said, "You sound like you know a lot. What about you?"

Yuwen Jun pursed his lips and said, "I might not be like that."

Bei Hanfei's smile widened, and she gave Yuwen Jun a thumbs up, saying, "You are indeed much braver than him."

Yuwen Jun said thoughtfully, "He is indeed braver in matters of love and affection than in matters of principle. He doesn't have the same courage as him yet, but I think he will in the future."

Upon hearing this, Bei Hanfei subconsciously glanced at Yuwen Jun and said thoughtfully, "That's true, you lack a bit of youthful spirit."

"It's also frustrating; you've just been born into this era."

Yuwen Jun readily agreed, "I won't stay here for dinner today. Afterwards, I will head to Tie Mang City to meet with the Prince of Zhen'an. Soon, Pu Weiqing, the Dean of Bailu Academy, may lead a large army to Tie Mang City to jointly defend against foreign enemies."

"Make sure to pull some strings for that dean in advance."

"After that, I will have to return to the Divine Realm and be on high alert."

Upon hearing this, Bei Hanfei gently said, "Be careful in everything. Sometimes you shouldn't force yourself. Perhaps at your age, it is the age to force yourself. But what your master wants to tell you is that sometimes you shouldn't act out of spite, nor should you be too fixated on the heroism and release of life and death."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Jun knew it came from the sincere concern of an elder, and he patiently replied, "I will take good care of myself."

Despite his patience, Bei Hanfei could still detect a hint of perfunctoriness in his tone.

Jing Peiyao, standing to the side, appeared completely unmoved. Bei Hanfei wasn't upset, as the young couple were both the type to have short tempers.

That's how it should be when you're young.

But Bei Hanfei was genuinely worried that the young couple had followed in Gu Yong's footsteps.

It's not difficult for lovers to become a couple, but staying together forever after becoming a couple is truly difficult...
