As the Universe Turns - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Wait
Everyone in the village was so scared that they didn’t dare to speak. At this moment, Yi Chen strode out of the house, his eyes unexpectedly calm and composed, unlike any other teenager. Wu Niang’s expression changed slightly and he immediately glared at him, “Go back!”

“One person does the same thing as the other. Ah Niang, I’m no longer a child.”

Yi Chen was young, but his gaze was exceptionally firm. He coldly looked at the seven or eight people outside the courtyard and walked to Wu Niang. He extended his hand to protect her and looked at Zhao Dagui, “I’m right here. How are you going to stay?”

Everyone outside felt that it was inconceivable that a child like him should be so stiff. Ordinary children would probably be so scared that they would cry long ago when they saw such a posture.

“Good, very good! Little bastard, you’re really hard-mouthed! Let’s see how long you’ll be hard-mouthed!”

Prince Zhao was seriously injured, Zhao Dagui was extremely upset. Seeing that Xiao Yichen was so hard, a nameless fire burst out in his heart. Suddenly, he raised his palm and a thunderous sound could be heard. A gust of wind shot out from his palm, causing the entire courtyard to gale. With a “bang”, the palm landed firmly on Yi Chen, causing him to fly backwards, crashing into the wall and almost coughing up a mouthful of blood.

“Chen’er!”

Wu Niang was shocked. She hurriedly went over to support him. Yi Chen raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He still looked coldly at Zhao Da Gui. “Everyone said that the second master of the Zhao Clan’s Running Thunder Palm shocked Jianghu. I don’t think so. It’s fine to hit a child under ten years of age.”

The villagers in the distance were dumbfounded. This Zhao Dagui had been in Jianghu for many years, so it was not unusual for him to know some martial arts. However, how could an adult make such a heavy hand on a child? So is this Xiao Yichen. Kneel down and admit your mistake. Why bother asking for trouble? With another palm strike, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to survive!

“Good, good!”

Zhao Dagui’s face was filled with anger. He bent his fingers and heard a crackling sound. Lightning pierced through his right hand. In an instant, a strong wind blew and rocks flew everywhere. There was no need to use his unique technique to deal with a child. Wasn’t he afraid that the people in Jianghu would laugh at him if he said it out loud?

“Stop!”

Right at this moment, a cold shout came from afar. Immediately after, a gust of wind swept over, and three streaks of sword light instantly transformed into three people. One was a white-clothed youth, the other was a Zi Yi youth, and the other was a yellow-clothed girl.

The villagers were all shocked when they saw the three of them arrive with their swords on hand. Zhao Dagui couldn’t help but be stunned. How could he attract the people from the Xuanqing Sect?

The three of them were the three who brought Xiao Yichen back from the back mountain last night. The yellow-robed girl walked forward and looked coldly at Zhao Dagui, “Who are you? Do you know that this place is under the Mysterious Green Mountain?”

Zhao Dagui hurriedly put away his martial arts and cupped his fists towards the three of them, “This is the Zhao Clan of Guling Town …”

“Oh? Guling Town, surnamed Zhao” The white-clothed youth raised his eyebrows and looked at him indifferently. “Who is Zhao Ying’er to you?”

“It’s my niece Zhao.” Zhao Dagui said respectfully. Facing the people of Xuanqing Sect, he no longer had that kind of momentum.

The youth of Zi Yi glanced at him and said, “Since that’s the case, you shouldn’t bully the people in the village. Otherwise, it will harm the cultivation of your sect. Do you know?”

Hearing this, Zhao Dagui was even more shocked. He knew that the inside of the Xuanmen Sect was even more incomparable to the outside world, Although the three of them seemed to be about the same age as Ying’er, However, cultivators’ appearances would not change for decades. If Ying’er’s status was higher than these three people, it would be fine. However, if she was lower than these three people, she would be implicated. She didn’t dare to be disrespectful at this moment and hurriedly said, “The three of you didn’t know that this person hurt my nephew first. I wanted to take him to see an official. I was just in a hurry …”

“Forget it.” Without waiting for him to finish speaking, the Zi Yi youth waved his sleeve and said indifferently, “There is no need to meet this official. We will bring this son back to the door.”

“What …”

Not only was Zhao Dagui stunned, even Wu Niang was stunned. She looked at the three of them and said, “Young heroes, can you … explain it more clearly?”

The yellow-robed girl took a step forward and looked at Zhao Da Gui. She said calmly, “Master wants to lead him up the mountain to cultivate, but now you understand his identity? Go, don’t cause any trouble in the future.”

Zhao Dagui was even more panicked and uneasy when he said this. At this moment, even his gaze towards Xiao Yichen seemed to carry a trace of fear. Could it be that this brat had also opened his spiritual roots? Otherwise, how could he be favored by the immortals? How could he be so foolish? What should he do this time?

Thinking of this, Zhao Dagui did not dare to stay any longer. He cupped his hands at the three of them and hurriedly took them out of the village. He had to rush to Qingzhou City overnight to inform his big brother that Xuanqing Sect had only recruited one person in Guling Town this year. If this kid was going, wouldn’t his nephew be able to go? No, I have to think of some ways to deal with this …

After Zhao Dagui left, the village seemed to have regained its tranquility. The villagers quietly looked at the three “Immortals” and remained silent. Inside the house, Shen Jing also walked out. She looked at the three of them and then at Xiao Yichen. She was dumbfounded.

The yellow-robed girl’s gaze paused on her for a moment before looking at Xiao Yichen. Seeing that she was looking at her, Yi Chen was stunned and said, “Senior Sister, was what you just said true?”

The yellow-robed girl sneered and tapped on his forehead with her finger, “Little fellow is clever. He called Senior Sister so quickly? It’s said that as long as you take it softly, you will be able to avoid the pain of your skin and flesh. Why didn’t you say it?”

Yi Chen said, “Men have gold under their knees. How can I admit defeat to him?”

“Good boy! I like your backbone!”

The young man from Zi Yi laughed and walked over. The girl in yellow glared at him, “Fuck you.” With that, he waved his jade hand and condensed a strand of dark green True Qi into his palm. He pressed it down on Yi Chen’s chest, and in a short moment, the bruises on his body dissipated. He asked, “Are you feeling better?”

“Mm-hmm, it’s okay!”

Yi Chen nodded repeatedly. The villagers nearby were all dumbfounded. It was indeed an “immortal ability”. With a gentle wave, their injuries would be healed.

The yellow-robed girl smiled and said, “Alright, remember to burn incense every day at dawn and dawn. I will come to pick you up on the fifteenth of next month. Also … my name is Huang Ying’er.” After saying that, they exchanged glances with the other two, and the three of them immediately rode away on the sword light.

Seeing the three of them disappear into the clouds, Yi Chen woke up after a long time. He … was going to worship Xuanqing Sect?

After a while, Shen Jing slowly walked over. Looking at him, she was speechless for a moment. Yi Chen chuckled and said, “Sister Shen Jing, I’m going to Xuanqing Sect.”

“Oh.” Shen Jing slightly moved her lips. She wanted to say something, but she wanted to say nothing. Yi Chen smiled and said, “It’s fine. When I return from my cultivation, I’ll bring you and Ah Niang up as well.”

“Chi, who cares?” Shen Jing curled her lips and said, “I’m leaving.” As he said that, he went outside the courtyard. Just as he left the courtyard, he turned his head and said, “Brat, stop fighting with people when you go up the mountain …”

“I know! Hehe!”

Looking at her gradually fading back, Yi Chen grinned. At such a young age, he really only regarded her as his elder sister. Every time he fought with someone, he would not be afraid, because this elder sister would always apply medicine to his scratches.

…

The bright moon hung high in the night. Wu Niang cooked a table full of dishes, but did not move her chopsticks. Yi Chen talked endlessly about Xuanqing Sect. In the end, she saw that she was worried and did not seem to be happy because she was about to join Xuanqing Sect. She asked, “Ah Niang, what’s wrong?”

Wu Niang shook her head, still silent, thinking repeatedly in her heart, who were the masters of the three people during the day? Could it be Fairy Miaoyin? Impossible. Although she was not from the Profound Sect, she knew that Fairy Miaoyin had never accepted a single disciple in her life, so it was impossible for the three of them to be disciples under Fairy Miaoyin.

Was that Fairy Miaoyin’s order? Otherwise, why would the three of them let Yi Chen go up the mountain for no reason? However, this did not make sense. Back then, Fairy Miaoyin had sent the child here precisely to cut off the fate of the mortal world. She had instructed herself to let the child live in the mortal world for a lifetime. How could she let someone lead him up the mountain again? This was absolutely impossible.

The more Wu Niang thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. If this was not Fairy Miao Yin’s arrangement, but the three of them accidentally hit each other, or someone else did it, wouldn’t it be bad …

Thinking of this, Wu Niang felt a little embarrassed, but looking at Yi Chen’s excited expression, she knew that persuasion was useless. Could it be that everything in the dark had its own traction?

Tonight, the moonlight shone brightly and the clear light shrouded the entire Ning Village. As usual, the youth sat on the windowsill and looked at the seven brightest stars in the sky. He suddenly remembered what had happened during the day. How could his strength suddenly become so great that he could not afford to severely injure the prince of Zhao in an instant?

Thinking of this, the youth was even more puzzled. He slowly raised his arm, wanting to push his palm towards a large tree in the courtyard as in the daytime. However, only a gentle breeze blew past, and the leaves of the tree began to rumble.

In the following month, Yi Chen followed Huang Ying’er’s instructions before she left. Every morning and evening, she would burn incense and bathe for half an hour. During this period of time, the house became lively. There were frequent guests visiting and delivering things to her. Wu Niang put down her work and took care of everything carefully.

On the 15th of June, the village became very lively. Red lights hung high in every house. It was a once in a century good thing that someone was admitted to an immortal sect. It could be said that the entire village was blessed. Early this morning, the villagers began to set up and wait for the “immortal” to pick up Yi Chen.

However, no one came in the afternoon. Many people began to whisper in whispers. Yi Chen gradually became somewhat anxious. Senior Sister said that she would come to pick him up today and would not break her promise. But how could she still be in the future now? Could something have happened? Just wait and see, just wait and see …

The sun’s shadow went west. When dusk came, there was no sword light coming down from the mountain. Many people were talking about it. Could it be that the people of Xuanqing Sect had forgotten about Xiao Yichen? If he missed this opportunity, he would probably have to wait for another ten years. However, at that time, he would be too old to enter the sect and would no longer be fated to join the Immortal Sect in this lifetime.

“I will definitely come, I will definitely come …”

Yi Chen clenched his palm tightly and looked in the direction of Xuanqing Mountain. He thought to himself, even if no one came to pick him up today, he would climb over mountains and mountains.
