Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

Chi Yuan looked at him quietly without answering.

"I understand. I will go and chase them away." Shen Yunie stood up and walked out of the stone chamber. "Don't worry. They just think there is a thief who has taken over their master's territory. They don't know that the master is here."

Chi Yuan looked at his departing back and said, "I'm not their master."

After searching everywhere in vain, the two disciples of Taixu Sword Sect set their sights on the cliff behind the Taoist temple. The flat cliff surface was most suitable for building a secret room, and it stood to reason that there couldn't be nothing here.

Bai Yu drew the long sword from his back, raised his hand and swung it. The sharp sword cut through the air and cut off the vines that were as dense as a waterfall.

Two copper rings embedded in the stone appeared before their eyes. Their eyes were fixed on the gap that was so narrow that it was almost invisible. It was obvious that they had found the secret room.

Zhu Hong's eyes lit up and she cheered immediately, "Is that little thief in there?"

She hurried over and prepared to push open the door of the stone chamber. Bai Yu frowned behind her, but she couldn't say a word to remind her to be cautious.

Zhu Hong has a lively personality and acts carelessly. She often gets into danger due to her carelessness, but she uses her Taixu swordsmanship to resolve the crisis.

The girl raised her hand in joy, but before she could touch it, the two stone doors slammed open.

Zhu Hong was stunned for a moment, and her shoulders were dragged backwards by a huge force. When she came to her senses, Bai Yu was already standing in front of her, "Be careful!"

When the stone door opened, it was pitch black. Shen Yunie walked out slowly and met two pairs of eyes filled with vigilance and doubt.

145. Chi Yuan doesn’t want to leave

The three looked at each other with vigilance in their eyes. Shen Yunie saw that both of them were wearing plain white clothes with a small sword pattern on their sleeves, which was the logo of the new Taixu Sword School.

Zhu Hong loves beauty and has a veil draped over her shoulders, while Bai Yu is wearing pure sect clothes. The whole person standing there exudes coldness like an ice cube.

The atmosphere was in a stalemate. When Shen Yunie was looking at the two people, they were also looking at him. So Zhu Hong, who was acting carefree, suddenly said something to break the silence, "What a handsome man."

Bai Yu's cold expression collapsed instantly, "Zhu Hong!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The girl came back to her senses and quickly apologized to him with a smile. The tense atmosphere disappeared instantly. It was not her fault. The man in front of her was indeed very handsome.

He was taller than the second senior brother in the sect, and the man in front of him was better in both body proportions and skin delicacy. His face was white and tender with raised eyebrows, his eyes were deep as if hiding something, and his clothes were fluttering like a banished immortal who showed mercy to the world.

Even though they met in a place like this, the thought that came to Zhu Hong's mind was that he was from some brothel.

Shen Yunie didn't care about the conversation between the two people. He said, "What are you going to do?"

Behind him was the stone chamber. Since Chi Yuan didn't want to be seen, he had to stop the two of them. In front of him were disciples of the Taixu Sword Sect. After almost being discovered last time, Shen Yunie didn't dare to mobilize his sword heart. If they found out that their moves were the same, it would probably cause even greater trouble.

Zhu Hong came back to his senses, raised his finger and pointed at his nose and asked: "Hey, should I ask you? This is our master's place, why are you occupying it!"

Shen Yunie was silent for a moment. "I don't know who owns the land, but I paid for the repair of Fuyun Temple. No one told me that I couldn't occupy this place. They just reminded me that it was dangerous here."

"It's yours if you pay for it?" Zhu Hong followed his words aggressively, "Pay for it and you..."

The girl was stunned and couldn't continue talking. She turned around and looked at Bai Yu for help. What the man said didn't seem to be unreasonable. He paid for it.

"Brother, Taixu Mountain originally belonged to Grandmother Chi Yuan. Since she has ascended, it should be in the hands of our master or uncle." Bai Yu frowned and said, "It is obviously unreasonable for you to occupy it like this."

He looked past Shen Yunie and looked towards the stone corridor. It was pitch black inside, without any sound. Bai Yu had practiced and his perception was much sharper than that of a normal person. He could vaguely smell a hint of a woman's scent.

"what is inside?"

"Woman, I raised her." Shen Yunie's tone gradually turned cold. He stepped forward, forcing the two to take several steps back. "If that's the case, I can leave, but please leave first."

Zhu Hong's expression became amused, and she subconsciously said, "You keep a woman in the mountains. Did you kidnap the daughter of a wealthy family and elope with her?"

"Shut up!" Bai Yu said coldly, his eyes wandering over Shen Yunie, unlike Zhu Hong who almost forgot everything after seeing a face. He could also tell that this man seemed to be a martial artist, his breathing was even and long, and his chest did not rise and fall, most of the air was digested in his body.

"There are many monsters in Taixu Mountain, and the road to the top is extremely dangerous. Why did you choose a place like this to live? Moreover, it is the place where Master Chiyuan ascended to heaven."

There were too many loopholes in Shen Yunie's words and he stopped the two from entering. He knew that he couldn't cover it up at all, and he was not very good at lying.

"Don't go too far. I've already promised you can leave."

Bai Yu narrowed his eyes at him, and with the sound of metal humming, the long sword was unsheathed. The sharp sword light pointed directly at Shen Yunie. The other party didn't want to make his words clear, so he thought according to his own thoughts, "You took the things of Master Chi Yuan. You are a martial artist, so you set your sights on this place and took away things that Master and uncles didn't know about!"

Shen Yunie listened to the other party's misunderstanding and suddenly asked: "Do you really understand your master and uncles? How do you know that this is something they don't know? Or do you not want others to know and plan to bury it here forever?"

As soon as these words were spoken, even the lively and cheerful Zhu Hong's face changed instantly. Qingchen Jian Lin Chaoyu was the most sacred and greatest master in their hearts. They did not think that their master would do anything wrong, and it was even more impossible for him to leave a scandal that they did not want others to know.

The second sword was unsheathed and aimed at Shen Yunie. Both of them used the sword moves from the Taixu Sword Qi.

"Don't insult the master!"

Qi sword. Waning moon.

The same sword move burst out with sharp sword energy, and Shen Yunie quickly dodged to the side. The sword energy cut open the clothes on his chest, leaving a shallow mark on the skin underneath.

It was inevitable to fight. If Shen Yunie didn't have Honkai energy in his body, it would be very troublesome for him to deal with the two of them. But now it was different. He understood Honkai energy better than anyone else. Even if he just used his fists, he could fight the two of them equally.

The sword shadows danced, and the swords on both temples stabbed towards Shen Yunie's blind spot. When they were about to touch him, his figure dodged like a ghost.

An inch of strength can cause a mountain to collapse.

The fist he swung out was wrapped in a strong wind, tearing the sword energy apart, and forcing the two men back several meters at the same time. Shen Yunie was not omnipotent. Most of his superb combat ability came from his spear skills and collapse energy. He only dabbled in boxing, otherwise it would be enough to defeat the two men.

Zhu Hong asked in confusion: "Why is this guy's boxing style somewhat similar to our sword moves?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Just hold him back. I'll find an opportunity to rush into the stone chamber and take a look." Bai Yu whispered to her.

"I know, I know!"

Facing two people rushing towards him at the same time, Shen Yunie smiled suddenly after calming down his rapid breathing.

These two people respected their master so much, but they never thought that the Taixu sword energy that Lin Chaoyu taught them was incomplete.

After seeing that the fist wind could break the sword energy, Shen Yunie felt it. It was understandable that they were not able to learn the Sword Heart Sutra because of their low comprehension, but they never thought that both of them had mistakes in the twenty-one sword moves. Lin Chaoyu was willing to teach them, but he didn't expect that they would surpass him one day.

Bai Yu rushed forward and made a move to stab with the sword, forcing Shen Yunie to dodge subconsciously. However, he stopped the movement of his hands forcefully and rushed straight towards the stone chamber.

"Look at me!"

Shen Yunie reacted and wanted to chase, but he never expected that a shining sword would stab him from behind. Zhu Hong grinned, looking like she was determined to stop him.

He frowned and quickly threw a punch at the other person.

Clang——

The long sword sunk into the stone, sparks of fire splashed everywhere, blocking Bai Yu's way. He had already stepped half a foot into the stone corridor, but now he had to stop.

"Look back at your fellow disciple. If you go any further, she will die." Shen Yunie withdrew his hand indifferently. The sword had been taken away from Zhu Hong in front of him. His hair was messy and stuck to his cheeks. He stood there in a daze.

"I advise you not to go in, or you will both die."

The fact that Shen Yunie took the sword away was the best proof. The strength of both of them was almost the same. If he could kill Zhu Hong, he could also kill Bai Yu.

"You..." Bai Yu gritted his teeth and took back his steps. He really wanted to know the secrets inside, but he was more afraid of being killed. Once he died, everything would be gone.

He met Shen Yunie's calm eyes, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The killing intent was very strong. Did they just provoke such a guy?

Shen Yunie calmly pushed Zhu Hong to him and said, "I let you go because I don't want to get blood on your hands, not because I want you to find helpers for revenge. So if I know you're going back to Taixu Sword Sect for help, I will kill you no matter how far away you are."

Bai Yu lowered his head, and the coldness he had shown before had long been terrified by the other party. He felt that Shen Yunie kept his word, so he began to explain, "In a month, the new Seven Swords of Taixu will come here to train. If you don't leave, you will meet them. I have already told you that this matter has nothing to do with me."

Shen Yunie didn't say anything. He watched the two people leave in a hurry. He turned around and walked back to the stone corridor, closing the door with only a gap left.

The stone chamber was lit up with orange light again. Shen Yunie placed the oil lamp in her hand on the table. The light also illuminated the fairy's pale eyes. She was staring at him.

Chi Yuan's eyes moved away from his torn clothes, "You chased them away."

Shen Yunie didn't say anything, just sat on the side, holding his chin with both hands, staring at that face with the help of the light.

Chi Yuan couldn't tell his emotions, and seemed a little helpless, "Shen?"

After a while, Shen Yunie came back to his senses, bent down and began to pack up his things. "The people who came are from Taixu Sword Sect. A new group of Taixu Seven Swords will come in a month. I may not be able to drive them away. Even if I can, Lin Chaoyu and others will notice something is wrong, and then more people will come to hunt us down.

Chi Yuan, I will take you to live somewhere else, Taixu Mountain is very dangerous."

Having lived there for four months, there were many things in the stone room. Shen Yunie packed them up for a while and then suddenly put them all down again. He walked straight to Chi Yuan and picked up the immortal. All the things were not important, as long as he could take her away.

Chi Yuan looked at him and turned her head to look at the stone chamber without saying anything. Seeing that she was a little reluctant, Shen Yunie smiled and comforted her, "You can come to collect medicine occasionally. If you live in other places, there will be a kitchen, and I can cook for you.

Go somewhere close to the market, and if no one recognizes you, I can take you somewhere further away."

"I have burned Yu Duchen here many times, and all my old friends died in this mountain." Chi Yuan suddenly spoke, her tone calm as if she was just stating the facts. She remembered a lot of things again. Before accepting a disciple, she had lived here for hundreds of years.

Several old friends were with her, they all loved to talk, and even though she was always silent, the Taixu Mountain was filled with a joyful and noisy atmosphere.

In the end, they all gradually died on the road to destroying the collapse, leaving only Chi Yuan alone, and the burned Yu Duchen remained on this Taixu Mountain. Staying here, he can sometimes recall those memories through Yu Duchen. If he leaves, Chi Yuan will really have to say goodbye to his deceased old friends.

"I don't want to leave. If I leave here, I will forget the original intention of destroying Honkai, and the path forward will go astray."

The fact is that Chi Yuan really left here in the end, joined Otto's army, and hesitated on the road to destroying Honkai.

What Shen Yunie was experiencing now was just a memory, and forcibly intervening in the time of occurrence would not change anything. Besides, he had already intervened, otherwise Chi Yuan would have been lying alone in this stone room until his body fully recovered.

He looked down at Chi Yuan, and there was still no emotion in the immortal's eyes.

"It's troublesome to stay here. Maybe Chi Yuan, you should teach me all the Taixu swordsmanship."

146. Are we master and apprentice?

In the blacksmith shop of Taixu Town, a young man stood beside a burning furnace and handed a piece of material to the old blacksmith.

The other party stared at the material with his eyes fixed on it, touching his head with his hands. After a long while, he sighed, "Oh, this material is really good! This is the first time I have seen carbon steel reach such a high density. It is simply an excellent forging material. Where did you get it from?"

"I made it myself." Shen Yunie answered casually, "Please help me forge a spear and a sword. These materials should be enough. The rest will be given to you."

"Enough, enough! Xiao Shen, you are really a good kid!" The old man who forged the weapon nodded with a smile. He looked at the person sitting on the clean table, wearing a bamboo hat, and could only vaguely tell from his figure that it was a woman. "Who is that?"

"My little master." Shen Yunie helped her sit on the wooden wheelchair, "I will come to get it later."

The woman's clothes were only white and blue, clean without a speck of dust. The black veil hung from her bamboo hat covered her face, and her long hair fell down her back like a waterfall. No one could see her face clearly, but occasionally someone would marvel at her cold temperament and wonder if she was a fairy under the black veil.

Shen Yunie pushed her slowly forward on the street. When no one was around, the woman under the bamboo hat finally spoke, "Let's go back."

"Don't you want to take another look? This is the first time I take you down the mountain." Shen Yunie asked. After looking around and making sure that there was no one nearby, he walked to the front and lifted the black veil.

Under the black veil was a face with delicate features, dark eyebrows, and ice-green eyes as light as glass. She exuded a cold aura that made people stay away from her.

Chi Yuan frowned and slowly reached out to drop the black veil. She had healed enough that she could move her hands slowly.

The purpose of this trip was that Shen Yunie needed to forge weapons to guard against the arrival of the Seven Swords of Taixu. He could have done it alone, but he dragged Chi Yuan with him. Chi Yuan, who was unable to move, refused verbally, but his body could not resist.

"You still need to go back and practice swordplay. This is something you promised me, and I don't want to be betrayed again."

"Well, I will work hard on my sword skills." Shen Yunie's tone softened because of Chi Yuan's coldness. He looked around and saw that he had no intention of leaving immediately. "I want to go listen to storytelling. Can you let me go for a while?"

Chi Yuan didn't understand why a modern man likes to listen to storytelling. Those were all made up by others and were totally unreliable. After a moment of silence, she said, "Only half an hour."

"it is good!"

Shen Yunie pushed Chi Yuan forward with great interest. He lowered his eyes to look at her. The black veil made it difficult to see the immortal's expression, so he kept silent. She was very quiet now, even less talkative than Fu Hua in the future.

If one person is cold, the other person has to be more enthusiastic. Otherwise, the two cold people will not be able to talk for a long time, and will not give in to each other, so Shen Yunie must play the role of the enthusiastic person.

The place he wanted to go was an inn. Such places often hired storytellers to entertain diners. Some storytellers had superb storytelling skills and could attract more customers for the inn.

There were not many people in the place Shen Yunie chose. There were only a few tables with guests. Most of them were concentrating on eating, leaving only the storyteller standing there and talking incessantly.

Judging from this situation, the storyteller's speaking skills or stories were not good.

But Shen Yunie was very interested in him, so he carried Chi Yuan over the threshold.

The number of times they had physical contact was too numerous to count. Even if Chi Yuan didn't want to, Shen Yunie would still have contact with her when necessary. So the immortal automatically ignored it.

Shen Yunie arrived too late, and the storyteller had already come to the end. He was a little curious, so he leaned on the table and listened attentively.

“The dark clouds covered the moon, leaving only the shadow of the sword and the flames that shot up into the sky. Taixu’s first disciple Lin Chaoyu defeated Yan Shiluo with his sword.

The immortal was kindhearted, and his disciples were also kindhearted. However, Yan Shiluo had completely become a demon, so Lin Chaoyu had no choice but to kill him with his sword again.

After that battle, Lin Chaoyu became famous, and no one could shake the position of Master Chi Yuan anymore."

Chi Yuan's expression became increasingly colder under the black veil, as she heard a forbidden name.

Shen Yunie, who was somewhat dazed, withdrew his gaze. This was completely different from what he had heard a few days ago. "Sorry, I didn't mean to bring you here to listen to this..."

Chi Yuan asked, "Why do you want to listen to this?"

Shen Yunie answered her sincerely: "Because I don't know what happened to Fu Hua during this period of time. This storyteller often tells the story of Chi Yuan. I just want to know."

Chi Yuan didn't expect such an answer. She was silent for a while. "The storyteller's story is exaggerated and does not match the reality."

The real immortal was sitting right in front of him. That was something he had experienced personally, so how could he not know whether it was true or not?

"But Chi Yuan won't tell me." Shen Yunie rubbed her hair and took her away from the inn. "Although it's exaggerated, at least I know it. This is very important to me."

He was quiet for a while, then asked tentatively, "Can you tell me the story about Fu Hua?"
