Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 125 The Shi Family

After hearing Yu Hui's words, Shen Yue reluctantly glanced in the direction where Shi Qinghan and Gu Shihan had left.

When he turned around and saw the figures of Yu Hui and the other person walking away, his face, which had been so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water, suddenly changed slightly.

Then, something unexpected happened—as if by magic, Shen Yue transformed into a delicate and lovely woman, as beautiful and charming as a peach blossom in spring.

She swayed her slender waist and walked briskly to Yu Hui and Zhe Yan's side with a radiant smile.

Shen Yue playfully and affectionately took Yu Hui's and Zhe Yan's arms respectively, "Oh, alright! I've really realized my mistake, so please don't blame me anymore! Let's go back together quickly! Speaking of which, I'll have to rely on you senior brothers a lot along the way. After all, only you two have always been tolerant and caring towards me, so in the end, you're the best to me!"

Yu Hui and Zhe Yan were clearly not expected that Shen Yue's attitude would change so quickly, and for a moment they were stunned and unable to react.

However, they were not fools. After a moment's realization, they immediately understood Shen Yue's thoughts and quickly replied with smiles, "Of course! Now that everything is alright, let's set off back to the sect!"

The two exchanged a glance, a hint of disdain flashing in their eyes, then quickly moved several steps away from Shen Yue, feigning tenderness as they carried her on their journey home.

However, the two of them always seemed to keep their distance from Shen Yue, trying to avoid close contact.

After a long and arduous journey, Shi Qinghan and Gu Shihan finally found a rather secluded cave.

The two decided to rest there for the night. Shi Qinghan asked thoughtfully, "Little sister, don't you think there's something strange about Shen Yue?"

Gu Shihan blinked and replied with a grin, "Big brother, I think it's alright! It's just that I'm a little infatuated. But speaking of which, big brother, Shen Yue is so beautiful, don't you really feel anything for her? Haha." As she spoke, she winked playfully at Shi Qinghan.

Shi Qinghan frowned slightly and said with a serious expression, "Little sister, don't talk nonsense! I haven't been here long, and I'm busy cultivating and improving my strength every day. How can I have the mind to think about those romantic matters? It's not that I'm lecturing you, but you shouldn't have such wild thoughts."

It's truly remarkable that we've come to this world of cultivation; we should concentrate on our cultivation to achieve immortality as soon as possible. We must not let so-called love and romance hinder our path of cultivation!

Gu Shihan stuck out her tongue and laughed, "Oh, I was just joking with you! Don't worry, big brother, I know what I'm doing! I'm going to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage and ascend to the Immortal Realm just like my master!"
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. It's getting dark, let's eat something first. I haven't tasted the deliciousness of spiritual food in so long, I really miss it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Shihan waved her hand, and a set of bamboo table and chairs appeared before them.

She deftly took out two fragrant spiritual meals and two small jars of spiritual wine from her storage bracelet and placed them on the table.

With a happy smile on his face, he said loudly, "Come, come, big brother, let's raise a glass together and wish each other a smooth journey and invincibility on this long path of cultivation!"

"Alright, little sister is right. May our path to immortality be smooth sailing! Cheers!" The brother and sister drank heartily.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the clouds, draping the earth in a golden veil. After a short rest, Shi Qinghan and Gu Shihan set off again for Black Wind Cliff.

As they passed through Qinghe Town, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their path without warning.

Shi Qinghan looked closely and saw a man in a brown robe standing in the middle of the road. The man looked to be about forty years old, with a serious face, furrowed brows, and the unique aura of a Golden Core cultivator.

The man's eyes were like torches as he stared intently at Shi Qinghan, an expression of disbelief on his face. He blurted out, "Shi Qinghan, you're actually not dead?!"

Shi Qinghan's heart skipped a beat, and he began to ponder. Since transmigrating to this world, although he had received some of the original owner's memories, he only had a preliminary understanding of the Shi family's situation. He truly did not recognize the man before him.

Faced with the man's questioning, Shi Qinghan's expression remained cold and unwavering as he replied, "Does my survival disappoint you?"

Upon hearing this, the man's face instantly darkened, and he roared, "Shi Qinghan, you are no longer the young master of the Shi family. How dare you speak to your elders like this? It's utterly disrespectful and rude! I am your fifth uncle. Not only do you not greet me, but you also speak such arrogant words. What kind of behavior is this?"

Shi Qinghan sneered and said disdainfully, "Greetings and greetings?! How many members of the Shi family are worthy of my respect? A bunch of ingrates!"

He stared straight at the male cultivator, head held high, chest puffed out, his face full of arrogance.

"You...you've reached the Core Formation stage?! How is that possible?" the male cultivator exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, I've reached the Core Formation stage. Is there a problem? Do you think I'm one of those useless good-for-nothings?"

Shi Qing looked at the man opposite her with a cold smile, her eyes revealing a hint of disdain and indifference.

"The Shi family? Hmph, since my parents passed away and my grandfather passed away, that place has long ceased to be home to me! As for your so-called fifth uncle, I'm sorry, we're not close, there's nothing more to say, farewell!" Shi Qing finished speaking and turned to leave.

"Are you trying to rebel?!" The male cultivator was so angry that his face turned pale when he saw Shi Qing's attitude that he roared.

Shi Qing stopped and slowly turned around, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Rebellion? Haha, who is rebelling? Fifth Uncle, you should know very well!"
Over the years, the Shi family has repeatedly sent men to hunt me down. If it weren't for my good fortune, I would probably be dead long ago. I, Shi Qing, have always remembered this debt, and one day I will return to the Shi family to seek justice for myself!

Upon hearing Shi Qing's words, a subtle, obscure glint flashed in the male cultivator's eyes, but it was quickly concealed by a smile.

He said with a forced smile, "Oh, Qinghan, we're family after all. Blood is thicker than water. Why say such unpleasant things? Look, you've successfully formed your core, which is quite an achievement. Why not take this opportunity to go home and visit?"

Let bygones be bygones! Oh, by the way, the young master of the Shi family will be getting married in three months. You must come back for a drink at the wedding!
