Chapter 730 Extra : The Beginning of Everything

"Huaiyu, you are not young anymore, and the matter of marriage..."

"Mom, I'm a Taoist priest, and I'm not considering getting married."

"But your Taoist temple has its own rules..."

"Although there is no mandatory rule in the Taoist temple that prohibits marriage, I am not considering getting married. Mother, I am now the head of Sanqing Palace, not an ordinary disciple."

After Xu Huaiyu finished speaking, he stood up, bowed to Xu's mother, and then left the Xu family.

Mother Xu looked at his determined back and sighed helplessly. If she had known that her child would be obsessed with cultivation and unwilling to get married, she should not have sent him to Sanqing Palace in the first place.

The Xu Mansion was very large, and Xu's father was the highest-ranking official in the area. On the way to the door, everyone bowed respectfully to Xu Huaiyu.

The two boys sweeping the floor looked at Xu Huaiyu's tall and handsome back with eyes full of amazement and respect.

"The young master seems to be more powerful than before."

"Yeah, I really don't know what kind of girl the young master will marry in the future?"

"He won't marry," a little maid walked up to them and whispered, "The eldest master and the lady have told him that he won't marry."

"Then the lady will be very disappointed. She has been optimistic about the young lady of the Wang family."

"I am very disappointed. Madam is a little regretful that she let the young master go to Sanqing Palace."

During the time when evil spirits were rampant, the emperor encouraged people with talent for cultivation to practice Taoism in order to solve the problem. If a child practiced Taoism, that family would receive a reward.

The evil spirits are cruel and many monks die at their hands every year.

Therefore, most families would not send their children to practice Taoism unless their family conditions are really difficult, or the children have a heart to save the world.

Among the several brothers, Yu Xiu and Cheng Qianqihou were the ones whose family members were killed by evil spirits.

In order to avenge their families, they took the initiative to go to Sanqing Palace, practice Taoism and eliminate evil spirits.

Ning Wenshan and Ling Ye like to practice Taoism and have a heart to save the people of the world, so they take the initiative to go up the mountain and ask the master to accept them.

An Runnian's family was so poor that they could not even afford food. If he did not become a monk, his family would starve to death.

He embarked on the path of monasticism for the sake of his family.

Only Xu Huaiyu was sent to Sanqing Palace because of his family's selfish desires.

At that time, Xu's father was just a small county magistrate. For the development of the Xu family, Xu's father sent Xu Huaiyu, who was only five years old, to Sanqing Palace to practice Taoism.

Gradually, because of Xu Huaiyu, Xu's father rose from a small county magistrate to a prefect.

Xu Huaiyu used to go home almost every year, but as he grew older, he gradually became less interested in going home and would only come back when there was something important happening at the Xu family.

But every time he came back, he brought supreme glory to the Xu family.

The Xu family enjoyed the benefits he brought, but they all respected and feared him. No one really cared about how he was doing away from home, or whether he was scared.

No one ever asked him whether he was willing to practice Taoism or sacrifice himself for the people.

Xu Huaiyu walked to the gate. Yu Xiu, who was waiting at the gate, heard the noise, turned around, and was stunned when he saw Xu Huaiyu.

"Why did you come out so quickly?"

How come he came out less than a cup of tea after entering?

Xu Huaiyu said calmly, "The stuff has been delivered."

The implication was that once the things were delivered he could leave and there was no need to stay.

Yu Xiu stood up and patted his butt, "Let's go then."

Xu Huaiyu was so bad at finding his way home that he couldn't even find his way home. Every time he did so, he had to ask his fellow apprentices to arrange someone to accompany him back.

The two men walked slowly in the city. Neither of them wore Taoist robes, but Xu Huaiyu's handsome face still attracted many people's attention.

Yu Xiu noticed the gazes of the other women and moved closer to Xu Huaiyu in a servile manner.

"Second brother, are you being urged to get married again this time when you came back?" Xu Huaiyu: "Yes."

"I heard that your mother wants you to marry Miss Wang," Yu Xiu laughed strangely, "I heard that Miss Wang is very beautiful and virtuous. You should consider it."

Xu Huaiyu glanced at him coldly, narrowing his eyes in warning, "Do you want me to go talk to the emperor about the queen now..."

Yu Xiu covered his mouth with his hand, "I know I was wrong, stop talking."

Although Yu Xiu had let go of the queen a long time ago, she was at least the first woman he loved.

Although they don't have any interactions now, they don't want to use the evidence they know to destroy her.

If the emperor knew that the queen had someone else in her heart and was often having secret meetings and affairs behind his back.

The queen's only ending was death.

Xu Huaiyu took his hand away and complained, "You are useless."

"...!!!"

Yu Xiu retorted, "You have something to show for yourself. If you had something to show for yourself, you wouldn't be standing by Yang Fan's side every day."

Xu Huaiyu hid it so well before that none of them noticed that he actually had special feelings for the junior sister.

They all treated Yang Fan as their daughter and sister, and wanted to give her the best things in the world.

The same went for Xu Huaiyu, so neither of them realized that his kindness to Yang Fan was mixed with other feelings.

Doing it again, Xu Huaiyu did not hide his feelings for Yang Fan at all, and they then knew what he was thinking.

There was no shyness on Xu Huaiyu's face. The corners of his lips were raised, and his smile was happy and satisfied.

“I’m happy to be with her.”

Yu Xiu was stunned for a moment, looking at Xu Huaiyu's profile, and complained in his heart, "You said I was a bootlicker, and you are no better."

"Second brother, I'm curious about when you fell in love with Yang Fan?"

The two sat down at a roadside noodle stall, and Yu Xiu was very curious about this question.

Xu Huaiyu stopped pouring tea, looked at the bustling street in front of him, and fell into reminiscence.

When did he fall in love with Yang Fan... Actually, he himself couldn't remember.

When she first met Yang Fan, she was carrying the body of Old Lady Yang to Sanqing Palace to ask for help.

At that time, he just thought that the child was naive to the point of being stupid. The old lady was already dead, so how could she be saved?

The master’s medical skills are indeed very powerful, but he cannot bring the dead back to life.

The so-called resurrection is nothing but a rumor.

If the master could really bring the dead back to life, there wouldn't be so many people dying in this world.

People like Yang Fan often came up the mountain to ask for help, but Xu Huaiyu didn't care at first.

But he didn't expect that this little girl would become their junior sister, and her identity was not simple at all.

She turned out to be the devil that all the monks were hunting.

He really didn't understand why his master would accept a Japanese devil as his disciple and hide her identity?
"Master, Yang Fan is a Japanese devil, why didn't you kill her?" Xu Huaiyu asked his master directly.

The world has become like this because of those evil ghosts, especially the ghost mother who can command the white ghosts.

The Japs are cunning and brutal by nature and are also their enemies.

Since the Japanese have come to their doorstep, why don't they just kill her?

Taoist Xuancheng looked at her and said, "Huaiyu, I told you about your fortune."

"what?"

"Yang Fan will be the key to balancing yin and yang, we can't kill her."
