"Just like now, you're convinced that I can't take Yujing away. You don't say it, but you think so in your heart." Bai Potian laughed and scolded, "Do you really think I can't see it?"
Su Haoran also confessed: "I just think they have grown up and are no longer the same as before. I am different from my uncle. I have watched children grow up around me."
"I have witnessed the growth of the two children with my own eyes."
"Yujing is no longer that dull child. His progress is so rapid that it's hard to describe it."
"He may seem too immature to my uncle, but in my opinion, he already possesses the qualities to be a strong man. What he lacks most is experience... Anything that doesn't defeat him will make him even stronger."
Shang Ming'e suddenly said, "A good man is tempered into steel... This is what A Yao once told me. She said that if Yujing decides which path to take in the future, let him go."
Bai Potian remained silent. After ten years of absence, he really didn't have much say in the matter.
Su Haoran also expressed his understanding: "I understand why you don't want to let go. As a parent, how can you not want to protect your child from wind and rain for the rest of his life?"
Bai Potian suddenly asked, "Can you let go of the incident with Ruoji girl?"
Su Haoran shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How can I let it go? I still often regret why I didn't stop her from going to Penglai."
Bai Potian said in a deep voice: "Then you should understand my feelings and my thoughts."
They have all lost a loved one and should understand the pain that goes deep into their bones and souls.
Everything the old man did was just out of a simple and plain idea - he didn't want to lose again.
"Of course I understand." Su Haoran drank a glass of wine. He was also a little drunk. His eyes were slightly red and his gaze was slightly unfocused. "Of course I understand..."
"but."
He put down his glass, rubbed his eyes, and whispered, "The most meaningless thing in the world is regret."
"So I won't regret any of the choices I made back then."
"I choose to wait."
"Even if it takes a lifetime, I will wait for my daughter to come home!"
Chapter 322 I suddenly have a bad feeling
After a few drinks.
Su Haoran was drunk.
Shang Ming'e helped him sit on the sofa to rest for a while to get rid of the smell of alcohol.
Bai Potian has a strong alcohol tolerance and he is not drunk even after drinking so many cups.
At his level, getting drunk is a rarity. Of course, sobering up only takes a moment.
The old man, drinking alone, shook the empty bottle and suddenly said, "Xiao Ming'e, tell me, if I go to the imperial capital today..."
Shang Ming'e glared at him and said, "Stop messing around!"
"Just talking." Bai Potian muttered, "It's rare for me to come back. If I don't make a scene, I'm afraid the world will forget me."
The old man stood up, walked to the balcony, and looked at the bright moon outside the window: "It's okay to forget me, Bai Potian, but you can't forget that I, Bai Potian, am still alive."
The two grown men were drunk, and Shang Ming'e couldn't help but feel a headache.
She really wanted to call Penglai to inform her daughter in advance.
Although I am certain that Bai Yu will not be seduced by the beautiful girls in those photos, but... what if?
Bai Potian was too confident, which made her feel a little uneasy.
……
There is a saying that there is one island, three mountains and five terraces in Daxia.
The island naturally refers to Penglai Island.
The Three Mountains refer to three sacred mountains and immortal mountains. A mountain is not sacred unless there are immortals living there...Kunlun, Wushan and Taishan.
Wutai refers to five sacred high platforms, most of which are place names, either blessed places or owned by humans.
One is the Fangcun Lingtai, located in Lingtai Mountain, which is now hidden in the mountains and sea and has disappeared.
One is the Foyuan Lingtai, located in the Great Leiyin Temple. It is said that one can make rapid progress in understanding Buddhism under the Lingtai.
One is the Dragon-Slaying Platform, which only exists in rumors but not in reality.
One is the Golden Terrace, which was once owned by the royal family and is now kept in the national treasury. It is a symbol of a country's fortune.
The last one is called Phoenix Terrace.
The phoenix swims on the phoenix platform.
Phoenix Terrace was once the place where the phoenix stayed, and it was also the headquarters of a once-prominent sect.
The sect is named after Phoenix Terrace and is one of the great hidden sects. It still retains its heritage to this day, but it has long lost its former glory.
The Fenghuangtai sect has only five people in total, from disciples to masters, and is no different from an ordinary wild crane dojo.
The inheritance is almost broken, and most of the previous martial arts techniques have been discontinued. What's left are all miscellaneous brands that even the Shenwu Division doesn't look down upon.
Even the head of the sect has to rely on the flow of people from nearby scenic spots to open a restaurant to make a living. The disciples also go down the mountain to work on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, practice in the sect on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and go home on Sundays.
By this generation, the inheritance of Phoenix Terrace has been cut off, and only the name is still passed down.
But... a few years ago, a lot of things changed.
Everything changed when one person came.
Feng Wuwu, the head of Phoenix Terrace, still remembers the first time they met a few years ago. The girl, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, walked to the Phoenix Terrace alone with a bag on her back and asked to sign up to join the sect.
She calls herself Huang Qixia.
At that time, the deputy head Feng Tongtong was afraid that this fat sheep would run away, so he hurriedly entertained him. After all, by deceiving the other party into joining the sect for a month, at least he could make a small profit from the sect registration fee and food expenses.
As a result, the other party stayed there for so many years, and even after knowing the predicament of Phoenix TV, there was no change in his attitude.
She acted very calmly, as if she had been prepared for this.
She is very pretty.
Feng Wuwu believed that everyone would be shocked by her beauty when they first saw her, but as time went by, she could ignore her appearance and instead felt more of the loneliness in her, as if she was born in the wrong era.
Qixia likes to sit under an old tree and watch the clouds and mist as they roll and the mist dissipates.
The sea of clouds is beautiful, but after so many years of watching it, the people in Phoenix Tower have long been tired of it. But she is the only one who can watch it for so many years and still not get tired of it.
Huang Qixia is not a lazy person either. She also helps manage the affairs of the sect. Although she joined the sect very late, she is more like a senior sister than those little girls who were half-tricked into joining the sect.
Feng Wuwu knew that she had to go down the mountain for three months every year, going down the mountain in March and returning in June, no more, no less.
They didn't know where Qixia had gone.
The little girls would surround Qixia and chatter, asking her where she had been.
This curiosity lasted for more than a week. Later, Feng Tongtong told Qixia that children's enthusiasm faded quickly, so just give them something to divert their attention.
So starting from the second year, she would always bring gifts back to Phoenix Terrace, and the little girls would stop asking questions after receiving the gifts.
However, Feng Wuwu, the head of the sect, will become more and more curious.
The days at Phoenix TV went on as normal, and her curiosity grew day by day.
Until one day in the third year, a young man carrying two swords came to Phoenix Terrace, crossed the sea of clouds, and was covered in blood.
She drew her knife the moment she saw Qixia.
In front of the children.
Feng Wuwu realized that the other party was far from being his match, so he called Feng Tongtong to take the others away quickly.
She tried to go up and deal with it, but her legs were shaking with fear. She had inherited the position of the head of the sect from her mother, and she had been busy stirring the wok to make money all these years, so she had no practical experience.
She didn't even know if this could be considered a sect vendetta, and she didn't have time to ask what happened in Qixia.
She turned around and wanted Qixia to leave quickly.
But I saw the girl who always sat under the tree watching the clouds finally stood up, her eyes still calm.
She waved her sleeves lightly in front of the man.
The sea of clouds over Phoenix Terrace turns into sunset glow.
The figure who came with murderous intent has disappeared, leaving only two high-temperature swords, the blades of which are an orange color after being smoked by high temperature.
Feng Wuwu's heart was beating violently. From that moment on, she understood why so many generations of descendants of Phoenix Terrace were unwilling to leave here and choose an easier way of life.
All you need to do is sell the sect, cooperate with local officials to turn it into a scenic spot, and then you can sit back and collect money.
This sea of clouds is so breathtakingly beautiful that it will surely fetch a good price, attracting countless tourists.
However, all the leaders of the past, including Feng Wuwu himself, refused to agree. They were too stingy to share the scenery with anyone else and were unwilling to change the ancient charm of the place.
Before she died, my mother held my sisters' hands and told them to take good care of Phoenix Terrace.
She didn't understand it at the time, and later she was unwilling to sign the sales contract, simply because this was her home, and how could she let someone else occupy it.
Now she understands.
In fact, the leaders of Phoenix Terrace in all generations have been waiting.
Wait for her to come back.
After waiting in vain for so many years, Phoenix Terrace finally welcomed back the phoenix that had left home.
Phoenix Qixia.
The phoenix lives in the clouds.
From that day on, the Phoenix Tower remained the same Phoenix Tower and did not become a holy place for spiritual practice.
The hidden sect eventually became history, but... because the phoenix returned, the Phoenix Terrace is still there.
Feng Wuwu had no idea of changing her fate, nor did she expect this bunch of useless people to become some kind of cultivation genius. It would have been a great honor for her family if she could reach the third level before the age of fifty.
However, the two sisters can live a more relaxed life. The restaurant can be closed for a period of time during the off-season every year.
The pair of swords alone sold for a lot of money, and along with some miscellaneous items that Huang Qixia brought back from somewhere, it was more than enough to renovate and improve the Phoenix Terrace.
It's already August.
The weather was a bit hot, but fortunately it was still cool on Phoenix Terrace.
Feng Wuwu opened the doors and windows in the morning, took a deep breath, felt refreshed, and was about to say hello to Huang Qixia.
But I didn't see the familiar figure under the tree.
She was startled.
Qixia only goes out for three months every year, so why is he leaving Fenghuangtai in August?
Could it be that he is leaving?
Feng Wuwu immediately walked under the tree and noticed a piece of paper stuck on the trunk.
"——Master, I will go to Penglai and return on a chosen day. Don't worry."
Breathing a sigh of relief, Feng Wuwu took the paper back.
Although there won’t be any changes to Fenghuangtai without Huang Qixia, I will definitely be reluctant to let it go.
Soon, the other people who got up also noticed that there was one person missing from the dinner table today.
Feng Tongtong asked, "Where is Qixia?"
"Going down the mountain."
"what?"
"She said she was going to Penglai." Feng Wuwu took out the note.
After circulating it around, Feng Tongtong bit her chopsticks, frowned, and asked, "Why did she go to Penglai for no reason?"
"how could I know."
"Sister Qixia seems to be worried recently." A twelve-year-old girl said while drinking porridge.
"What's on your mind?"
"Well, it seems to be related to a boy."
"What the hell!" Feng Tongtong slammed the table and stood up: "How could my Phoenix be kidnapped by a wild man!"
