The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 577
Chapter 577 Identity Confirmation
Wen Xiaoxian felt a little dumbfounded. A dignified Void Realm expert actually took action to save a destitute person like him?
He looked at Li Qing’s face and felt very unfamiliar. Indeed, he had never seen this person before. He shouldn’t be an acquaintance or friend. Why would he help?
Was it really just because he felt pity for him?
Before he could think too much, Li Qing pulled him up and disappeared with a whoosh.
Very quickly, Li Qing brought Wen Xiaoxian to a courtyard. This was the place he had temporarily found to settle down.
“Sit!” Li Qing pointed at the chair beside him.
Wen Xiao sat down first, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. This was a normal reaction to a Void Realm expert, and he was filled with reverence.
“Junior Wen Xiaoxian, thank you very much for saving me. Thank you very much.” He cupped his hands.
“There’s no need to call me Senior. We can just talk about friends of the same generation.” Li Qing casually waved his hand and asked, “I heard that you used to be a Xiantian expert. Where did you come from?”
Wen Xiaoxian’s face revealed a trace of pain. He shook his head and sighed, “My hometown is very far away. It has been decades since I returned. I miss it very much.”
Li Qing hurriedly asked, “Where exactly is it?”
Wen Xiao looked at him first, his expression hesitating, not knowing if he should say it out loud.
“Don’t worry, I don’t want to harm you. It’s just that your name is exactly the same as the person I heard of, so I want to confirm it.” Li Qing said gently.
“I’m not worried about that. With my current situation, what is there that a Void Realm expert should care about?” Wen Xiaoxian smiled bitterly and shook his head. “I’m just ashamed. I don’t dare to say the name of my hometown. I’m afraid of embarrassing my family and friends!”
Li Qing said, “Are you from the Southern Domain?”
Wen Xiaoxian’s entire body trembled, “How do you know?”
“You may be the person I know. I want to confirm your identity. Please tell me, where exactly did you come from in the Southern Domain?”
Wen Xiaoxian took a deep breath and said, “I’m from the Southern Domain Cloud Continent! Have you heard of me?”
Li Qing immediately smiled and nodded slightly, “Looks like you’re probably that person!”
“Who exactly are you? How do you know my origin?”
“Eight Barren Mountains!” Li Qing suddenly said these three words.
“How did you know about the Eight Barren Mountains? Could it be that you and I are from the same sect?” Wen Xiaoxian’s face was filled with shock.
Li Qing wasn’t in a hurry to answer this question. He asked again, “Let me ask you one last question: What is the name of our master?”
“Our master? You mean…” Wen Xiao’s eyes widened. “Are you Master’s new disciple? My master is Elder Liu of Flaming Sun Peak!”
“Haha, it really is you!” Li Qing laughed loudly and immediately stood up and said excitedly, “I am Shifu’s new junior brother! Li Qing greets Big Senior Brother!”
“It really is my junior brother!” Wen Xiaoxian found it hard to believe. He didn’t expect that he would encounter his junior brother in this foreign land. It felt like he was in a dream.
He did not suspect that Li Qing was deceiving him. With his current state, he was not worthy of being deceived, let alone that Li Qing knew that he came from the Eight Desolate Mountains and was able to accurately say this information.
There was no doubt that this was really his junior apprentice-brother!
“Junior Brother, your strength has already reached such a powerful level, but Senior Brother, I have already become a cripple. I really don’t have the face to go back to see him,” he said with a shameful expression.
Li Qing’s face revealed a sad expression. “I can’t go back anymore. Master, he’s an old man.”
“Master, what happened to him?”
“Master has passed away.”
“What!” Wen Xiaoxian was stunned. He hurriedly asked, “What’s going on? Could it be that Master’s lifespan is running out?”
Elder Liu was no longer young. Although Xiantian experts lived for 200 years, how many of them could actually live to 200 years of age?
“No, Master died decades ago, and he was killed by someone else.” Li Qing said in a deep voice.
At this moment, he told them everything that had happened back then.
“Lord Golden Emperor Peak! Patriarch Youshui! What a vicious person!” Wen Xiao’s entire body trembled and tears couldn’t help but flow out.
“Master, this disciple is unfilial. He hasn’t gone out for decades. He didn’t even see you one last time before he died!” He burst into tears.
After crying for half an hour, Li Qing could not help but sigh. It seemed that the relationship between Eldest Senior Brother and Master was really very deep.
Li Qing gently patted his shoulder, “Big Senior Brother, don’t be sad. As disciples, we should think about how to avenge Master!”
“Senior Brother, I’m just a cripple now, and I can’t avenge Master. However, Junior Brother, your strength is so strong, so don’t forget to avenge me!” Eldest Brother’s eyes were filled with hatred.
“I won’t forget. After traveling in the Central Region this time, I will return to the Southern Region and destroy the Eight Desolate Sect!”
“How strong is the Eight Desolate Sect now?”
“There are three Void Realm experts and eight Dao Artifacts. I am not their match for the time being. However, the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark. There will always be a chance to kill them.”
Wen Xiaoxian said first, “Little Junior Brother, you have already reached such a powerful level at such a young age. You can slowly take revenge on them. When you have sufficient confidence in the future, you can launch a lightning strike against them!”
“Don’t worry, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I have some sense in my heart.”
Liu Ke’er took out all kinds of food and said, “Big Senior Brother, you must be hungry now, right? Have something to eat first.”
Wen Xiaoxian was already extremely hungry. Seeing the delicious food, he couldn’t help but gulp it down.
“Senior apprentice-brother, you have always been in despair on the streets. You must have had a miserable time these past few years, right? Liu Ke’er expressed her sympathy.
“Nothing much. I’ve already gotten used to it. I’ve been living like this for decades.” Wen Xiao said while eating.
“The people of Zhendong Palace ordered that no one be allowed to help you. How did you manage to survive for decades in such a place?” Liu Ke’er asked.
“Actually, it’s not that exaggerated. It’s impossible for the people of Zhendong Palace to keep staring at me. I’ll find a way to survive. Moreover, Jizhou City is full of people every day. Unless they are resident residents, most people don’t even know who I am when they come here. There will always be people who will give me one or two mouthfuls of food. “In addition, the people from the Zhendong Palace will not watch me die. If they really can’t hold on, they will throw away some leftovers like leftovers. They will treat me like a dog and keep me so that they can humiliate me at any time.”
“Too hateful! The people of Zhendong Palace are simply a bunch of perverts. They have humiliated you for decades, but they still won’t let you go!” Liu Ke’er said angrily.
“Actually, the most important thing is that someone secretly helped me. They didn’t notice this.” Wen Xiao said first.
Li Qing asked curiously, “In Jizhou City, there is actually someone who dares to do such a thing. Aren’t you afraid that the people from the Zhendong Palace will discover it?”
“I suspect that Ling’er sent someone to do this. Even if the Zhendong Palace discovered this, they would still turn a blind eye. No one would dare to punish Ling’er.”
Li Qing knew that the Ling’er he was talking about was actually Princess Ling Zhu, the youngest daughter of the East Suppressing Prince, who was doted on by thousands of people.
More importantly, Princess Lingzhu’s aptitude was heaven-defying. He was a once-in-a-thousand-year Soaring Immortal Physique. He was born to be able to fly, and his speed was unparalleled in the world.
If he succeeded in cultivating in the future, he would definitely be another powerful existence.
She was born with a Lingzhu, so she was called Princess Lingzhu.
Such a noble pearl was actually abducted by a brat from nowhere. This scandal made the whole of Great Zhou aware. Zhendong Mansion had lost all face, so he naturally wouldn’t let Wen Xiaoxian off easily.
However, they did not dare to really kill Wen Xiaoxian. After all, Princess Lingzhu still had feelings for him, so they did not dare to go too far to avoid turning hostility into enmity.
When Princess Lingzhu completely forgot about Wen Xiaoxian, it might be Wen Xiaoxian’s death.
Of course, if Princess Lingzhu cultivated to the Void Realm and was still unable to forget about Wen Xiao, then perhaps no one would be able to stop them from being together.
The speed of the Soaring Immortal Physique was unparalleled in the world. No one in the Void Realm was able to catch up with it. Even with the highest level of flying treasures, they might not be able to catch up. If they wanted to elope, they could run for thousands of kilometers at any time. Who could catch up?
“If it was really Princess Lingzhu who secretly helped you, then maybe she still has feelings for you before she forgets about you. When she breaks through to the Void Realm, then you two can really be together.” Liu Ke’er said.
“Definitely! Didn’t I live in Jizhou City for so many years because I insisted on this belief in my heart? We will definitely be together.” Wen Xiao first revealed a look of longing.
“You two really have a deep relationship.” Li Qing sighed.
Seeing that the food on the table was almost finished, Liu Ke’er hurriedly said, “Senior Brother, do you want more? I still have a lot of food here.”
“No need, I’m already full. If I eat any more, I’ll become fat.” Wen Xiao patted his round belly and burped.
Li Qing and Liu Ke’er stared blankly at the fat meat on his stomach, their eyes revealing astonishment, “Senior Brother, you have worked so hard in Jizhou City, how can you eat so fat? Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t you be thin?”
“I don’t know,” Wen Xiao said with an awkward expression. “I’m getting fatter and fatter. I can’t lose any weight. Ai, I’m sorry that I was so handsome back then, but I’m so fat today. I don’t know if Ling’er will love me as much as she used to when she saw me.”
“Yes, your relationship is so deep. You shouldn’t judge people by their appearances, right?” Li Qing comforted.
