My exclusive card pool

Chapter 271 I entrust my daughter to the Immortal Master
call--

The dharma image of Xuanlong Zhenren, which was taller than a Western-style building, dissipated like smoke, and the gloomy dark clouds also dispersed.

The weather is clear and clear.

Wang Xi, his robes fluttering, slowly descended from mid-air.

Shen Miaowei stood there, staring blankly at him, still in a daze.

"Miaowei?"

Wang Xi approached with his hands behind his back, then chuckled to himself.

"Ah—" Shen Miaowei finally came to her senses, hurriedly lowered her head to avoid eye contact, and bowed with a blushing face: "Thank you for saving me, Master!"

Wang Xi gently shook his head: "No need for formalities."

He looked back at the spot where the scalp had died, thought for a moment, then raised his hand to summon a book and a wolf-hair brush, sketched the scalp's appearance, and added a note:

"The Third Chapter of the Demon's Lament: The Northern Beasts"

"...The 'Yang' is a great wild beast. It causes illness to those it bites and disease to those it infests. It often attacks people's homes and causes great harm. Now it has attacked the Shen family in Pinghai City of the Northern Kingdom, intending to harm the disciple Miaowei and the entire Shen family. Its malevolent aura is soaring to the sky, and the mansion is almost destroyed."

"Sensing an ominous sign, Xi rode the wind to arrive. Seeing the evil creature rampaging and Miaowei in grave danger, he summoned the Xuanlong Dharma Image to suppress it. Dark clouds covered the sun, and thunder suddenly roared. The afflicted beast, in its last stand, was no match for the divine might and vanished into nothingness."

"The Shen family, still reeling from the shock, bowed shyly, grateful for their teacher's kindness. This is a testament to the calamity's wrath and the peace of their home, a testament to the miraculous hand of the immortal master and the restoration of heavenly justice..."

Waiting for the last stroke to be made.

The book containing the "Demon's Lament" glowed slightly, as a new chapter was added. Wang Xi felt his primordial spirit strengthen once more, and his "yin virtue" become even more abundant.

"Master, what is this?"

Shen Miaowei quietly raised her eyes and saw Wang Xi holding a book in one hand and a brush in the other, writing with great enthusiasm, which piqued her curiosity.

"I was suddenly inspired and wrote this down as I felt."

Wang Xi put away the paper and pen and smiled.

The girl's tone became even more reverent: "Master travels the mortal world, slaying demons and monsters; Miaowei admires you immensely..."

At this time.

Shen Miaowei suddenly felt a fragrant breeze. Looking up, she saw a beautiful young woman in a green jacket and skirt walk gracefully to her master's side, give a gentle curtsy, and say in a soft, sweet voice:

"Young master, please forgive me for walking a little slowly."

"It's alright," Wang Xi waved his hand.

He had originally flown with Liu Xunyan to Pinghai City, but when he sensed something was wrong outside the Shen family mansion, he dropped Liu Xunyan off and came to the rescue first.

That's why Liu Xunyan only arrived now.

Seeing the beautiful woman being so intimate with her master, Shen Miaowei's heart skipped a beat.

Didn't the Glass Child say that Master doesn't have a Daoist partner yet?

Is it possible...

During his travels through the mortal world, did Master meet a woman he admired?!

"Master, who is this?"

Suppressing her anxiety, Shen Miaowei mustered her courage and asked.

"You must be Shen Miaowei, the eldest daughter of the Shen family?"

Liu Xunyan looked at the girl in the cheongsam and gave her a friendly smile: "I am the young master's maid, Liu Xunyan."

"So it's Miss Liu."

Upon hearing the word "maid," Shen Miaowei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her smile deepened.

As a woman herself, Liu Xunyan keenly noticed Shen Miaowei's slight changes, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The young master's female apprentice...

It seems there are some feelings that shouldn't be buried?

This is not a good sign.

"Miss Shen, you're too kind," Liu Xunyan said. "Just call me Xunyan."

"Then... Sister Xunyan."

Shen Miaowei wished him a thousand blessings.

Liu Xunyan returned the greeting, covered her mouth and laughed, "Then I'll take the liberty of calling you Sister Miaowei."

Wang Xi noticed the interaction between the two women and raised an eyebrow slightly.

soon.

Shen Han then arrived with his wives, children, steward, servants, and guards. Liu Li remained at her post, protecting Shen Han the entire time.

Upon seeing Wang Xi, Liuli beamed with joy, her three tails wagging happily involuntarily.

"Master! Hehe!"

The cat-eared girl hopped over to Wang Xi and, to the astonishment of Liu Xunyan and Shen Miaowei, snuggled into his arms, nuzzling him with her little head.

"Liuli misses you so much!"

Wang Xi affectionately patted Liuli's head, and the girl couldn't help but purr.

"This immortal master..."

Shen Han, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was still a little pale. He quickly stepped forward and bowed to Wang Xi.

"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving my Shen family."

“Mr. Shen, there’s no need for that.” Wang Xi looked at Shen Han and said softly. “I have a connection with Miao Wei, and helping her is just a small matter.”

This middle-aged man, who was the second-in-command of the Northern Union government, was good-looking, tall and strong, and had an aura of righteousness that came from his appearance.

However, his unkempt stubble made him look a little haggard.

"Regardless, the Immortal Master has been kind to my Shen family. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask..."

Shen Han maintained his bowing posture and said in a deep voice.

"Although I am just a mortal, I do have some power and influence, and I will do my best to repay the kindness of the immortal master."

As he spoke, he turned to the side and gestured with his hand, saying, "If the immortal master does not mind, please come inside for a chat."

"Thank you for your trouble, Patriarch Shen."

Wang Xi smiled and led Liu Xunyan and Liuli forward.

Shen Miaowei followed closely behind him, looking obedient.

Shen Han gave the steward a wink, and the latter quickly nodded and silently withdrew, preparing to instruct the servants to clean up the mess in the courtyard.

"Keep quiet for a moment, and don't speak rashly and displease the Immortal Master, understand?"

Shen Han lowered his voice again and gave instructions to his wives and concubines.

"Especially Mingrui and Mingzhang, it's fine for them to quarrel on ordinary days, but absolutely not today!"

"Yes, sir. I will discipline the child well."

The three concubines nodded quickly.

They were terrified just now.

How could I dare to be disrespectful to an "immortal"?

What shocked them even more was that Shen Miaowei had actually become the disciple of the "immortal".

Does that mean she'll become an immortal someday?!

Thinking of this, the second and third wives' minds started to stir.

...

...

After everyone entered the house.

Shen Han gave the main seat to Wang Xi as a sign of respect.

Liu Xunyan and Liuli stood on either side of him, while Shen Miaowei sat next to him, personally serving him tea.

Shen Han then cautiously began to examine the "Immortal Master's" appearance.

I should have looked, because I was really shocked when I did.

Because I’m too young!

The young man looked to be in his early twenties, with striking eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips, white teeth, and an extraordinary air about him.

"I am truly ashamed; I, Shen, do not even know the esteemed name of the Immortal Master?"

Shen Han stood up, cupped his hands, and asked.

Before Wang Xi could speak, Shen Miaowei answered on behalf of her teacher, whispering:

"Father, Master's surname is Wang, his given name is Xi, and his courtesy name is Xizhi."

His tone was full of reverence.

Shen Han glanced at his daughter in surprise, then bowed to Wang Xi and said, "So it was Master Wang in person."

"You're too kind, Patriarch Shen." Wang Xi sipped the tea his female disciple had brewed for him and said, "I suddenly had a feeling today that Miaowei was about to face a calamity, so I set off to come here."

"It seems that I, Shen, have also benefited from Wei'er's influence."

Shen Han shook his head with a wry smile.

Shen Miaowei put down the teapot and sat down, frequently glancing at her master out of the corner of her eye.

It was as if he could never tire of looking at her. Wang Xi suddenly turned his head and looked at Shen Miaowei, who met his gaze and hurriedly looked away.

He seemed oblivious to the girl's peeping, and continued, "Miaowei, would you be willing to join the Immortal Sect?"

"what?"

Shen Miaowei was suddenly stunned.

Wang Xi explained, "The immortal sect I am currently in is called 'Mo Jian Zhai,' which specializes in four arts: calligraphy, painting, swordsmanship, and staff fighting. Among them, painting is especially suitable for you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Miaowei was quite tempted.

She certainly wanted to join the sect her master belonged to, but when she thought of the predicament her father and the Shen family were facing, she hesitated: "But..."

Seeing this, Shen Han felt anxious.

That silly girl!

Faced with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why hesitate?

"Wei'er, there's no need to worry about your father."

Shen Han quickly said in a deep voice.

"Now that I am out of danger, I can take care of the Shen family. You can focus on your cultivation with the immortal master without any worries."

"Father?" Shen Miaowei was very surprised.

Seeing his daughter still hesitating, Shen Han immediately reverted to his stern father demeanor, staring at her solemnly and nodding earnestly: "Go."

At this moment, Wang Xi smiled and said:
"The Immortal Sect does not exist in the mortal world, but is located outside of it. Consciousness travels through the inner realm as a gateway, while the physical body can remain in the mortal world."

Upon hearing this, Shen Miaowei's eyes lit up: "Master means... that I can still stay in the Shen family and meditate every day to travel to the secluded world for cultivation?"

“Not bad.” Wang Xi nodded.

Shen Miaowei, free from any worries, immediately stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your favor, Master. This disciple is willing to join the Immortal Sect and serve you by your side."

“Good.” Wang Xi nodded with a smile.

He thought for a moment and then said, "I heard that the reason why Patriarch Shen encountered danger this time was because of the 'Heavenly King Army'?"

"Immortal Master, you are wise." Shen Han took over the conversation and hurriedly explained, "The 'Heavenly King Army' appears to be a rabble entrenched in the mountains, but that's not the case... Behind them is the warlord force of 'King of Guanzhong' He Qiwei."

He said in a deep voice, "This time, when I led my troops back, I was ambushed by the 'Heavenly King Army,' which must have been at He Qiwei's behest... They wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of me and thus stir up chaos within the Northern Kingdom."

"To be on the safe side, they even sent monks to hunt them down."

"Fortunately," Shen Han said, his face filled with lingering fear and gratitude. "My daughter studied under the immortal master and learned immortal techniques. She not only saved my life but also killed the invading cultivators."

"Although cultivators possess extraordinary abilities, they are still not detached from worldly affairs and must struggle and fight in this mortal world in order to attain enlightenment."

Wang Xi said leisurely.

"However, aiding and abetting evil and causing havoc in a region is unwise. It diminishes one's 'merit,' incurs divine wrath and popular resentment, and will ultimately harm both oneself and others."

He looked at Shen Han and said calmly, "Patriarch Shen, since that's the case, how about I take action to eliminate this threat for you as a greeting gift?"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, both Shen Han and Shen Miaowei were taken aback.

The father and daughter both knew the truth.

The reason Master Wang was willing to help was naturally because of Shen Miaowei.

But this gift is far too extravagant!
“Master Wang, this… I am ashamed.”

Although Shen Han was delighted, he did not immediately agree.

Because he has self-awareness.

I owe the immortal master so much, yet I can hardly repay him.

Wang Xi added, "Patriarch Shen, slaughtering mortals easily incurs karma. This time, I only took action to eliminate the cultivators around He Qiwei... As for the struggles between your warlords, I will not interfere, nor am I interested in doing so."

Hearing this explanation, Shen Han felt relieved. He stood up abruptly and bowed solemnly: "Master Wang has done a great favor for my Shen family. I, Shen, thank you!"

Shen Miaowei knew that her master's actions were to allow her to cultivate without any worries, so she was deeply moved and rose to bow along with her father: "Thank you, Master!"

Wang Xi smiled and nodded.

Then he slowly got up, walked outside on his own, and said without turning his head, "I'll be right back."

...

...

the next day.

Although intelligence gathering was somewhat delayed in this era, Shen Han, as the second-in-command of the Northern Alliance government, learned of one thing via telegram that very night—

Yesterday afternoon, thunderous roars echoed through the mountains surrounding Renwang Town. Some hunters claimed to have witnessed immortals riding dragons.

The local garrison went to investigate and was horrified to find that the "Heavenly King Army" had fled without warning, even abandoning a lot of supplies, as if they had encountered something unimaginably terrible.

The corpse of the leader, "Sitting Tiger," was hung on the city wall of Renwang Town, attracting the attention of all the town's residents who watched in astonishment.

At the end of Shen Shi (3-5 PM), when the sun is setting.

Far away on the eastern border of the Chen Kingdom, in the territory of the "King of Guanzhong," a similar strange phenomenon of heavenly thunder occurred.

Several "immortals" clashed in mid-air, creating a massive spectacle that filled the people with dread.

Shen Han stared in horror at the coded message on the telegram.

He Qiwei, the "King of Guanzhong," is dead.

He died from "heavenly lightning".

While he was drinking tea in the villa, he suddenly heard a question echoing throughout the city from the sky: "You dare to call yourself 'King of Guanzhong'?" He was immediately struck by a white "heavenly lightning" and died on the spot without a complete corpse.

Without exception, all the "extraordinary people" around He Qiwei died.

Shen Han knew that all of this was the work of that Immortal Master Wang.

When he learned of this, his awe deepened, and he was also grateful that his daughter could take such a deity as her master.

Wang Xi returned to the Shen family home on the morning of the third day.

Shen Han, along with his entire family and over a hundred of his personal guards, respectfully greeted them.

The courtyard of the Shen residence was filled with people.

"Welcome, Immortal Master."

When Shen Han saw the black-robed youth descending from the sky, he bowed deeply and greeted him respectfully.

Everyone hurriedly followed suit and bowed.

Where is Miaowei?

Wang Xi stood ramrod straight, hands behind his back. Liu Xunyan and Liuli stood obediently on either side of him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Miaowei immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply, saying, "Master, your disciple is here."

"From this day forward, you will officially become a disciple of the Ink Sword Sect and a true disciple of Wang Xizhi."

"Yes, Master!"

Shen Miaowei took a deep breath, her heart pounding with excitement.

She secretly vowed to cultivate diligently and serve her master wholeheartedly.

Shen Han was equally excited upon seeing this scene, and also felt an indescribable sense of reluctance.

Although Wei'er doesn't have to leave home, he knows that his daughter will leave sooner or later, after all... there is a difference between immortals and mortals.

Shen Han lowered his head, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said in a deep voice:

"I entrust my daughter to you, Immortal Master."
