Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yi Zhong was totally shocked by Xu Que’s attack. A sovereign of the Divine Farmer Clan had just been punched by a frail old man who was only at the Half-Celestial Stage. This was totally unheard of!
The apprentices and the deacons of the Jade Lake were also dumbfounded. The noise coming from the meeting room attracted more apprentices of the Jade Lake who were outside the room. They squeezed in together at the door of the meeting room and looked at the scene in surprise. Some of them even recorded the scene with their Recording Crystal b.a.l.l.s secretly. After all, it was such a scary scene. The one who was being beaten was the distinguished sovereign of the Divine Farmer Clan, who would become the Holy Son in the future. This news would startle a lot of people.
“B*stard! Enough!” At last, Yi Zhong yelled angrily, and he attacked Xu Que with his palm.
Bang!
Along with a big bang, Xu Que was blown away across the room and he spat blood. After flying through the air, he fell on the ground heavily. His face was so pale it looked as if he was about to die soon.
“Elder Xu!” Bai Cailing came to herself at this moment. She stood up and rushed toward Xu Que hurriedly. She knew this old man who had been seriously wounded could be killed by Yi Zhong, who was at the Heaven Celestial Stage, easily. If he was killed, how could she face Xu Que in the future? Also, their hope of reviving the peach trees would also be ruined.
However, Yi Zhong was also dumbfounded at this time. Although he attacked Xu Que angrily just now, he didn’t use his full strength. He just tried to beat Xu Que back and didn’t want to kill him. Anyway, they still needed Xu Que to save the peach tree garden of the Jade Lake. So, it was impossible for him to kill Xu Que. But this old guy was really good at acting. Yi Zhong didn’t expect Xu Que would fly so far away. Also, Xu Que was spitting blood! This was totally acting!
“Hey! Old fart, stop your acting. I didn’t use my full strength just now. You’d better stand up immediately!” Yi Zhong stood up and said as he stared at Xu Que coldly. However, Xu Que was surrounded by Bai Cailing and many apprentices of the Jade Lake at this moment. They fed pills into his mouth as they looked at him with concern.
n.o.body would stand up at this moment. “Ouch, ouch, ouch! I am dying!” Xu Que groaned as if he was about to die any minute.
Yi Zhong was so angry that he shouted again, “You old fart! Just bow out graciously. Don’t blame me!”
“My fellow cultivator, please calm down! You are in the Jade Lake now!” Bai Cailing turned around and said as she looked at Yi Zhong coldly.
“You…” Yi Zhong was so angry that he didn’t know what to say. He could only stare at Xu Que viciously. Xu Que didn’t want to continue his acting. He sat up, placing his hand on Bai Cailing’s shoulder, and said with difficulty, “My daughter-in-law, calm down and don’t forget the fetus in your belly. Alas! No, what I said is wrong. I’ve lost my mind because of his attack. Holy Virgin, I am okay and only need a short break!”
“Elder Xu, let me take you back to your room so that you can have a rest!” Bai Cailing said, helping Xu Que up from the ground.
“Okay! Please forget what happened just now. I was so angry when I saw that unfilial son that I couldn’t help but punch him. I didn’t expect that I would drive him away, which made my young friend Yi Zhong so angry. Please don’t blame him. I will leave after taking a rest for several days!” Xu Que added.
Hearing that, the people of the Jade Lake started to look at Yi Zhong resentfully. Yi Zhong was so annoyed that he almost spat blood. Now, he regretted that he hadn’t killed this old fart just now.
“Cough, cough, but…” Xu Que said feebly at this moment, “Please don’t worry! I will do my best to save the peach trees. As for the marriage certificate, we can talk about it later!” Hearing that, the people of the Jade Lake were quite happy. Bai Cailing also nodded her head delightedly, “Thank you, Elder Xu!” The deacons also said warmly, “I need someone to take Elder Xu back to his room together with the Holy Virgin and take good care of him!”
“Alas! You are so nice! If my unfilial son would treat me like you did, I would die in peace!” Xu Que exclaimed. Then, accompanied by a lot of people, Xu Que left the meeting room.
The big meeting room became quiet again. A deacon said as she looked at Yi Zhong coldly, “My fellow cultivator, please have a rest here. Whenever you need something, just ask an apprentice to do it for you!” After saying that, the deacons also left the meeting room.
Even though Yi Zhong was the Divine Farmer Clan’s sovereign and could become the Holy Son in future, the Jade Lake didn’t need to flatter him. Moreover, the peach tree garden of the Jade Lake could be revived, which meant the Jade Lake would regain its full strength soon. At that time, the Jade Lake would be as powerful as the Divine Farmer Clan.
Standing there, Yi Zhong’s face darkened angrily. After several seconds, he turned around and said to his guardians seriously, “n.o.body is allowed to spread what happened today to our clan! Also, that old man should be watched closely. He is quite cunning. Just kill him and don’t leave any trace if you can find an opportunity!
“As you wis.h.!.+” The guardians who were at the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage replied, nodding their heads.
…..
That day, a temporary apprentice of the Jade Lake sneaked out to meet her lover. After finis.h.i.+ng their lovemaking, they started to chat.
“Lanlan, thank you for the fantastic night! Let’s talk!” The man said to the Jade Lake’s apprentice seriously. The apprentice said with a shy smile as she leaned in her lover’s arms, “Unlike the rest of the men who only want to take advantage of women, you are so nice, and I like you so much! By the way, I want to tell you something. Do you know something big happened in the Jade Lake today?”
“Oh? What happened? A sovereign of the Divine Farmer Clan came here from the Taiyin Celestial Realm? Hah, hah, a lot of people in Tianxiang City know that!”
“No! That sovereign was beaten up in the Jade Lake today!”
“What? Who dared to beat up that sovereign? Your Holy Virgin?”
“No, no, no, it was Xu Que’s father!”
“Xu Que’s father? Who is Xu Que? And who is Xu Que’s father?”
“Look at my Recording Crystal Ball! I got it from other apprentices!”
…..
The next day was a sunny day! Tianxiang City was shocked!
The entire city was shocked when the scene recorded in the Recording Crystal b.a.l.l.s came out. Within 12 hours, all the people in the city were talking about the news that Yi Zhong, the sovereign of the Divine Farmer Clan, had been knocked to the ground and punched heavily.
“My G.o.d! This is unbelievable! How could an old man at the Half-Celestial Stage beat Yi Zhong up?”
“It is quite weird! As far as I know, that sovereign, who is at the Initial Stage of the Heaven Celestial Stage, is going to become the Holy Son of the Divine Farmer Clan!”
“It seems this old man is quite powerful! Who is he?”
“He is Xu Que’s father!”
“What the h*ll? Who is Xu Que?”
“I don’t know! I only know this old man is Xu Que’s father!”
“Holy sh*t! Xu Que’s father is so f*cking awesome!”
“Right! He dared to press a sovereign to the ground and punch him heavily…”
More and more people were talking about this. Soon, “Xu Que’s father” was very famous in the city! Soon, people in the Jade Lake also heard what was happening in Tianxiang City. Yi Zhong was so eager to rush into Xu Que’s room and beat him up. However, Yi Zhong dismissed this idea. Anyway, as a cultivator at the Heaven Celestial Stage, he would be laughed at by others if he really did that! When a cultivator at the Heaven Celestial Stage was beaten up by a cultivator at the Half-Celestial Stage, people would be shocked. However, when a cultivator at the Half-Celestial Stage was beaten up by a cultivator at the Heaven Celestial Stage, it would be a joke!
“D*mn! I will never let this old fart go!” Yi Zhong smashed the cup in his hand as he sat in his room, seething with horrible killing intent.
…..
At the same time, Xu Que walked into the peach tree garden together with many apprentices of the Jade Lake. After one night’s rest, he was “recovered”. Then, he said he would try to save the peach trees, which moved all the members of the Jade Lake. All of a sudden, this old man became a sage in their hearts.
Also, the Jade Lake didn’t want to investigate who had spread the news that Yi Zhong had been beaten up. They knew it had been done by their apprentices. Moreover, the deacons hadn’t forbid the spread anyway.
However, the things that happened in the peach tree garden did not proceed as smoothly as people expected. Xu Que didn’t use the Living Holy Water in the peach tree garden that day. He would never do that when so many people of the Jade Lake were around him, because then they would know his trick. So, Xu Que made a hammock between two peach trees. Then he lay down in it and started to eat sunflower seeds as he enjoyed the suns.h.i.+ne cozily in front of so many people.
The onlookers were confused. The Holy Virgin couldn’t help but ask him a question after looking at him for a long time. “Elder Xu, what are you…?” Bai Cailing asked with puzzlement. You promised to save the peach trees! But you are just lying here cozily! What are you going to do?
Xu Que spat out a sh.e.l.l of a sunflower seed and said as he waved his hand calmly, “You can go back now and leave the peach trees to me. I will cure them by sleeping with them. This is the ultimate sleeping therapy handed down from my ancestors, which is very effective for human beings, plants, and animals! One treatment period is ten days. One treatment cycle includes ten treatment periods. And everything should be cured after ten treatment cycles!”
