Borrowing a sword

Chapter 345 Your wife and daughters, I will raise them?
Outside, Chu Huaixu sat at the dining table in the courtyard with the remaining three main characters of the world.

After dropping Lin Zixuan off, Nangong Yue smiled and left first, saying that she had other things to attend to.

It was lunchtime, and seeing that everyone had arrived, Chu Huaixu had no choice but to invite the petite girl to sit down and eat with him.

Watching her eat, Chu Huaixu suddenly remembered that this girl was also a glutton.

Who would have thought that such a small courtyard could house three such big eaters?

Towards the end of the meal, even the most considerate housekeeper, Han Shuangjiang, started to reduce the frequency of serving food, afraid that the three of them wouldn't have enough to eat.

It must be said that Big Ice Cube's cooking skills have always been excellent.

Moreover, the family of three enjoys these warm moments in life, so they do not take fasting pills for a long time. Just like when they were in the outer sect, Han Shuangjiang cooks, Xu Ziqing washes the dishes, and Chu Huaixu (Daosheng Yi) is in charge of making money.

Lin Zixuan's eyes lit up when she took her first bite of the dish.

Unlike the delicacies served at Prince Rui's Mansion, this is a simple yet delicious home-style stir-fry.

But when she thought of the person sitting across from her, who was practically her enemy, she forced herself to leave two mouthfuls of food uneaten to show her cold stance!
After putting down her chopsticks, the girl remained silent with a cold expression.

Unfortunately, like Chu Yinyin, she was cute in appearance.

So much so that even though she had a straight face, it looked like she was pouting.

What's more, there was still some vegetable oil on her little mouth, making it look shiny.

However, no matter what, Lin Zixuan still harbored resentment towards Chu Huaixu.

She and Qin Xuanxiao grew up together and still have feelings for each other.

Although before she set off, the old blind man Ming Xuanji actually told her that the Crown Prince and the Ancestral Emperor were at fault, her feelings were still incredibly complicated.

She even felt a bit ashamed.

This man killed his future husband, and then his master told him to live with him from now on.

What's this?
Despite Chu Huaixu's seemingly hearty appetite, he was actually quite displeased.

"No! What's going on?"

What kind of traitorous Cao Cao is this?!

She killed someone's husband, and then...
"Your wife and daughters, I will take care of them, won't I?"

Why!

I have a Daoist partner!

Don't let my background as a gaming companion fool you; I still retain some traditional male virtues!

From another perspective, Chu Huaixu also seemed somewhat proud.

"All the protagonists of the world have gathered before me!"

"What does it mean to be destined by Heaven? This is what it means to be destined by Heaven!"

According to the normal plot line and character settings of "Borrowing the Sword", Qin Xuanxiao is actually the one who makes decisions within the main group.

Judging from the current situation, he does indeed resemble the dead fox somewhat.

He looked up and glanced at Lin Zixuan.

This woman, as a god-level support, can play an amazing role in any small group.

It would be a lie to say you're not tempted by someone of this caliber.

However, Chu Huaixu couldn't completely trust her.

He only began asking questions after everyone had finished eating.

"I heard from Elder Nangong that your master sent you?" he asked Lin Zixuan.

"Correct."

"What did I send you here for?" he asked again.

“Let me follow you,” the girl answered truthfully.

These words made Han Shuangjiang, who was sitting next to her, glance at her sideways.

But it was only for a glance.

"Why are you following me?" Chu Huaixu pressed on.

"They didn't say that, they just told me to stay with you."

Upon hearing this, the family of three looked at each other in bewilderment.

The word "always" in her words is quite intriguing.

Han Shuangjiang raised her head and stared intently into Chu Huaixu's eyes.

The dead fox tilted its head and gave me a look that puzzled me just as much.

This guy, who's ranked second on the must-eat list for escort services, started using a slightly distant form of address when he spoke this time.

"Miss Lin, could you please elaborate?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zixuan gave a general description.

Learning that the old blind man Ming Xuanji had made his decision after consulting the oracle, Chu Huaixu felt somewhat at ease.

"No way, could it be that I, the number two on the must-eat list for escort services, have become a professional at taming old men after transmigrating?"

Jiang Zhi changed his tune, and now Ming Xuanji is also starting to change his tune?
You blind fool, I still prefer the way you used to shout about setting things right!

Since Lin Zixuan was brought by Nangong Yue personally, it is conceivable that the higher-ups of the Daoist sect have already made a decision.

That means we should leave her here for the time being.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to appear at the Gentleman's Temple at all!
"But that makes sense, I'm about to enter the second level of the Origin Spirit Realm," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

"At that time, she will still be able to play a significant role."

But after thinking about it, based on his understanding of Lin Zixuan's character, he knew that her naivety was comparable to Xiao Xu's!

Such people are rare in this world.

The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix, he actually gathered together.

So the dead fox spoke directly: "I killed your brother, the crown prince, don't you hate me?"

"I hate it," Lin Zixuan answered directly.

"Then you're still coming?"

"A teacher's orders cannot be disobeyed," she said matter-of-factly.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"Huh?" She paused for a moment, then looked up, her voice rising several octaves in an instant: "Huh—!"

My elder brother, the heir apparent to the Prince of Rui, was killed right in front of His Majesty the Emperor. So what about me?
"You...you want to kill me?" Lin Zixuan's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

Chu Huaixu suddenly realized that this little girl was quite amusing.

It's just as fun as Chu Yinyin!

So much so that he stood up directly from the dining table, his face immediately darkening with a somewhat cold and stern expression.

Lin Zixuan was so frightened that she shrank back slightly.

She knew very well that she was no match for Chu Huaixu!
As a result, Han Shuangjiang picked up her chopsticks and tapped the bowl lightly, saying, "Alright, stop scaring her. She's never serious."

She gave Chu Huaixu a slightly annoyed look.

Chu Huaixu smiled and pointed at Lin Zixuan, saying inexplicably, "From now on, you and Xiao Xu will sit on the same side when we eat."

Two idiots should just sit together!

It makes it easier for the two of us to tease and play together.

But Chu Huaixu could still sense that Xu Ziqing mainly had a pure heart; he was simple-minded, but not stupid.

But this Lin Zixuan, she's really clueless!
"But it's good to stay a little longer," he thought.

In this situation, Chu Huaixu directly tried to get information out of her.

Then, to his surprise, he discovered: "That blind bastard Ming Xuanji is really determined to have his precious disciple follow me all the way?"

Before Lin Zixuan arrived at the Taoist sect, Ming Xuanji had actually prepared the entire set of cultivation techniques for her.

All the cultivation techniques from the fourth to the ninth realm are stored in Lin Zixuan's storage ring.

In fact, these Heaven-level cultivation techniques alone are priceless!
Chu Huaixu even thought that selling her would be a good option.

After all, I'm so strong, I've been risking my life to carry the whole way! Do I need a god-tier support?
Real men do it all by themselves!

Perhaps this is also related to his experience as a gaming companion.

He usually takes the bosses on his own, so he's gotten used to being independent.

In the end, he simply said to Lin Zixuan, "Then you can stay here for now, and come with me to the Origin Spirit Realm later."

"Shuangjiang, could you arrange accommodation for her?" He took Da Bingkuai's hand and gently patted the back of her hand, his face full of affection: "Thank you for your trouble."

The night is getting darker.

Chu Huaixu was sitting on a futon when he was awakened by Xu Ziqing's scream.

It seems that Xiao Xu has made another breakthrough.

Lin Zixuan's room was naturally arranged in the same house as Han Shuangjiang.

The two women are having a late-night chat.

Lin Zixuan was terrified after hearing the horrific screams coming from the next room.

"It's alright, you'll get used to it soon," the big ice block said calmly.

The petite girl shrank her neck slightly and asked, "Um... are you really alright?" "It's fine, and in fact, the fact that he cried out is a good thing," Han Shuangjiang said.

"what?"

"This means that Junior Brother Xu has made a breakthrough."

After returning to the Daoist sect, Han Shuang immediately went to exchange for the fourth realm cultivation technique, as well as the rare and precious materials necessary for cultivating the technique.

She was actually just one step away from breaking through to the fourth realm.

Someone like Xu Ziqing, who hasn't even reached the Great Perfection of the Third Realm, will only fall further and further behind her in terms of cultivation level.

For cultivators, the first three realms are actually easier to break through.

Starting from the fourth realm, the difficulty increases dramatically.

The requirements for talent will become increasingly higher.

This is why those at the fifth level are considered great cultivators.

Among the disciples of the current generation of Junzi Temple, the senior brothers and sisters entered the sect much earlier than Chu Huaixu and others, and most of them were only at the fifth realm. Only two of them had broken through to the sixth realm.

It's worth mentioning that this is also one of the reasons why Chu Yinyin was often looked down upon when she only had the cultivation level of the sixth realm at its peak.

After all, some of the next generation of disciples have already reached the sixth realm!

As for those with the Xuan Yin physique like Han Shuangjiang, their advantages will only grow from now on!
After chatting with Lin Zixuan for a few more minutes, she went back to her room to practice her martial arts.

The petite girl sat on the futon, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings.

She had a feeling that she couldn't quite describe.

It's like going from being a dependent in Prince Rui's mansion to being a dependent in Junzi Temple.

It seems that she never had a home that truly belonged to her in her life.

Fortunately, she's gotten used to it.

"At least... Sister Shuangjiang's cooking is really delicious!" Thinking of this, Lin Zixuan's mouth watered.

Little did she know, Han Shuangjiang only looked like a mature and sophisticated woman, with a strong older sister vibe, but in reality, she was a few months younger than her.

At this moment, Lin Zixuan had already decided that she only had a grudge against Chu Huaixu, and had nothing to do with Shuangjiang.

Starting tomorrow, I will definitely eat properly and will never deliberately leave two or three bites uneaten!
So, seeing how much she could eat, Chu Huaixu decided that she and Xiao Xu would take turns washing the dishes from now on.

Two days were moved forward.

It's a sunny day today.

The weather was lovely, and Chu Huaixu was in a good mood as well.

He hummed a little tune as he arrived at a small courtyard inside the Junzi Temple.

Li Chunsong, the sixth elder of the Taoist sect, had been waiting there for some time.

"Why are you so slow?" he said irritably.

"Because all the way here I've been thinking, if my master Li Chunsong uses me for gambling in the future, shouldn't I ask for some of the profits?" Chu Huaixu said.

"Get lost! I won all of that through my own skill!" Li Chunsong immediately refused, as if the other party was about to touch his private property.

Among the higher-ups in the Taoist sect, gambling is always just for fun, and the stakes are actually very small.

But no matter how small it is, it is still his lifeline.

It wasn't that he was stingy with Chu Huaixu; it was simply because it was his honor!

How can glory be shared?

After chatting and joking around for a while, the two of them walked together toward the courtyard where Zhong Ming lived.

Unlike Chu Huaixu, who was in high spirits, Li Chunsong's face turned somewhat grim at the thought of having to eat a whole bunch of unpalatable Dingsheng cakes again.

"You seem to be under no pressure at all. We're almost at the Origin Spirit Realm, and you still look so relaxed," he couldn't help but mutter.

"I'm really in a good mood. I might even give you a big surprise later." Chu Huaixu began to feign mystery.

Didn't he draw a high-level Cleansing Talisman from the treasure chest earlier?

He planned to try it on this fifth master.

During this trip to the Moon Kingdom, Chu Huaixu realized that the Daoist sect's high-end combat power was still slightly lacking.

It can't be said that Jiang Zhi is weak, but he voluntarily dropped his cultivation level and sealed his sword. Without using the [Heaven and Earth Sword], he probably wouldn't be a match for Xiahou Yue.

If Sword Master hadn't broken through to the ninth realm and possessed strength nearly equal to the best in the world, then the Eastern Continent Mirror Kingdom might not have been guaranteed a victory when the two countries were locked in a fierce battle.

Moreover, the Moon Kingdom has more than just those few Ninth Realm experts who were in the martial arts arena that day.

These are merely the nine realms residing within the capital.

The other three of the four major sects also have Ninth Realm Ancestors who are cultivating in seclusion.

Only the Daoist sect doesn't have a single legitimate ninth-realm expert on the surface!
As for Zhong Ming's strength, there's no need to elaborate.

The disciples of the Gentleman's View of their generation were all exceptionally talented individuals.

Zhong Ming is the leading figure of this generation.

Many years ago, he had already reached the fourth level of the ninth realm.

After entering the fifth level of the Origin Spirit Realm, he forcibly sealed the soul seed of his primordial spirit with his own body, causing him to go insane.

But as mentioned before, after so many years, for some reason, his cultivation level has increased instead of decreased!

He clearly hadn't cultivated, and he was clearly a madman, yet he still managed to advance to the fifth level of the ninth realm.

How strange!

However, in any case, this means that his cultivation level is on par with that of Xiahou Yue, the protector of the nation.

Moreover, Chu Huaixu personally speculated that once this Fifth Master Ancestor returned to normal, he would definitely be much stronger than Xiahou Yue, who was at the same level!

Sometimes he couldn't help but sigh, "If all the disciples of the Gentleman's Temple of that generation were still alive, how powerful the Taoist sect would be."

It's a pity that great talent often leads to tragedy, and that heaven is jealous of geniuses.

For Yu Chuhuai, once the Fifth Master regained his senses, he would truly have gained a powerful backer.

However, he also knew in his heart: "Zhong Ming is an unparalleled expert in the ninth realm. His problem certainly cannot be solved with such a small number of high-level spirit-clearing talismans."

"Even a top-tier cleansing talisman probably wouldn't be enough!"

He just wanted it to have some effect.

Upon entering the house, Li Chunsong and Chu Huaixu saw Zhong Ming glance at them.

At least the old man doesn't have drool hanging from the corner of his mouth anymore.

This made him look less mentally challenged.

The old man continued to fiddle with the Dingsheng cake as before.

Two people entered at that moment, but he seemed completely unconcerned.

It's as if they don't exist.

However, after making a basket of Ding Sheng Gao (a type of rice cake), he would urge the two of them to eat it.

"Master, please eat more. I'll get back to my work now." Chu Huaixu laughed and made his escape, displaying his filial piety.

He came to Zhong Ming's side and first used [Nan Liu Jing] as usual.

The [Cleansing Talisman] is a special item that cannot be seen by others.

Although he couldn't see it, he did nothing, yet Zhong Ming suddenly felt much better. Wouldn't that look strange?
Therefore, the dead fox planned to use the Dao Seal to complete a "treatment" first, and then secretly use the Cleansing Talisman.

The large golden characters still appeared on the palm of his left hand.

Golden light began to radiate forward. Zhong Ming turned his head and glanced at him, seemingly feeling a warm sensation, before continuing to make Ding Sheng Gao (a type of rice cake) for Li Chunsong.

Chu Huaixu had come so many times that he was already a skilled worker.

If it weren't for the fact that this "patient" has a limit to the absorption of the "medicine's" effects, he would have planned to come every day.

Li Chunsong then used magic to seal his sense of taste and began to swallow voraciously.

In fact, without the sense of taste, eating dry food is also quite painful.

The three characters "Nan Liu Jing" on Chu Huaixu's palm continued to radiate a dazzling golden light.

"The power of the Dao Seal is indeed miraculous. As my overall strength increases, its power will also increase," he thought to himself.

However, this thing is probably refined from the power of the origin and the power of all things in heaven and earth, so it's understandable that it's a bit magical.

After a course of treatment was completed, Chu Huaixu calmly opened his backpack.

He used the purifying talisman inside directly.

The effect of this special item is just like in a game; it's immediate and takes effect instantly, producing the final result directly.

Chu Huaixu immediately heard a system notification.

"[Ding! Congratulations, the healing progress for the target, Zhong Ming, has reached 10%!]"

Just after the system notification sounded, he was surprised to find that his fifth master, who had been making Ding Sheng Gao (a type of rice cake), suddenly stopped what he was doing.

Immediately afterwards, he saw him turn his head to look at him!
There was a hint of clarity in his eyes!

But soon it was accompanied by endless struggles!
The next moment, this great cultivator at the fifth level of the ninth realm suddenly raised his right hand.

There were clearly layers of restrictions here, and his limbs were even bound by magical artifacts that limited his cultivation level.

But at this moment, he forcefully suppressed all of these things!

He reached out and grabbed Chu Huaixu in mid-air, holding him tightly in his hand, his fingers gripping his neck, and lifting him up into the air!
