Chapter 262 I Became a Waste
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the aroma of tea wafts through the air.
Chen Xuan sat upright on the throne in the tea room, savoring the bitterness in the cup alone, one cup after another, as if he wanted to swallow all his troubles along with the tea.
He quickly drank up the whole pot of tea, and his empty eyes revealed that he was worried at the moment.
The entire teahouse fell into a brief silence, with only the occasional sound of wind and birdsong outside the window breaking the oppressive tranquility.
Chen Xuan suddenly spoke, his voice filled with fatigue and helplessness: "Xingze is here to see you."
Before he finished speaking, a purple figure appeared in the tea room like a ghost. It was Chen Xuan's favorite disciple - Xingze.
Xingze stood respectfully in front of Chenxuan and bowed, "The Sect Master has something to tell you."
Chen Xuan slowly raised his head, his usually kind face now filled with helplessness and confusion.
Xingze's heart tightened when he saw this, and he quickly asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Oh..." Chen Xuan shook his head gently and sighed. The heavy sigh seemed to carry endless worries.
Seeing this, Xingze hurriedly bent over to pick up the teapot, ready to add another cup of tea for Chenxuan, but found that the teapot was unusually light.
He opened the tea lid and saw that Chen Xuan had already drunk the whole pot of tea.
Xingze quickly covered the teapot and asked worriedly, "Master, could it be that cat demon has made you angry again..."
Chen Xuan stood up and patted Xingze's shoulder gently, without directly answering his question.
Instead, he asked seriously, "Xingze, did you hear any thunder during the morning hour yesterday?"
Xingze nodded and replied expressionlessly, "The sound of thunder is not uncommon in Lingshan Academy.
There are many monks in Lingshan, so it is common for one to undergo a tribulation today and another to ascend to heaven tomorrow."
However, Chen Xuan's expression became increasingly solemn. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Yesterday's thunder was black thunder, a punishment from heaven. Xiao Wan..."
"died?"
Xingze's voice suddenly rang out, but his expression was as calm as still water.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's eyes widened, and his hands behind his back trembled slightly unconsciously.
He gave a bitter laugh, his voice filled with undisguised anger: "She was actually with Yun Che the night before..."
At this point, Chen Xuan's face had turned ashen with anger.
Xingze listened silently without saying anything, just waiting quietly for Chenxuan to explain the whole story.
After listening to Chen Xuan's narration, Xingze closed his eyes and rubbed his head, as if he was thinking deeply about some important issue.
After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Master, please don't be angry, I know how to deal with this.
If she doesn't want to practice anymore, then..."
Xingze paused for a moment, then continued, "Master, take me to see her."
Nine Suns Divine Sect.
Inside the Jingsi Pavilion.
Xu Wan had just finished drinking a bowl of steaming ginseng soup.
Then, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, she quickly devoured the five small pieces of ginseng remaining at the bottom of the bowl.
The bitterness of the ginseng made her frown slightly.
At this moment, she was sitting at the tea table, wearing a fiery red cloak, which brought her a touch of warmth.
This cloak was sent by Xuanqing not long ago. He also sent some winter clothes, peach blossom cakes, grapes, etc.
The money for purchasing the items was given by her adoptive father Chen Xuan, and it was he who instructed Xuan Qing to buy them.
There were two exquisite white jade plates on the table, and on one plate lay a bunch of crystal clear grapes, like purple gems.
On the other plate were six peach blossom cakes of various shapes, emitting an enticing sweet aroma.
Xu Wan picked up a grape and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour juice burst out instantly, suppressing the bitterness in her mouth a little.
She ate them one by one, and in a blink of an eye, the bunch of grapes and peach blossom pastry had been completely finished by her, leaving only a sweet and sour aftertaste in her mouth. She couldn't help but smile slightly.
After filling his stomach, Xu Wan's thoughts returned to cultivation again.
She walked quickly to the bed, took off her boots, and climbed onto the bed lightly.
Sitting cross-legged, she pulled the quilt over her legs, closed her eyes, put her hands together, and began to try to transform the ginseng soup, ginseng and grapes she had eaten into true energy.
However, no matter how hard she tried, the results were always disappointing.
She tried again and again, but failed every time.
Finally, she lay down helplessly in bed, a look of worry on her face, and said to herself: "Have I really become a waste...?"
……
After a stick of incense.
Inside the Jingsi Pavilion.
Chenxuan and Xingze stood in front of the bed, looking solemn and worried.
Xu Wan lay flat on the couch with her eyes closed. The tears remaining in the corners of her eyes had dried up. Her silver hair was scattered messily on the pillow, making her look extremely haggard.
Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Ah... this child, he sleeps all day and doesn't practice at all."
Hearing this, Xingze frowned and shouted, "How can this be possible!"
Xu Wan was awakened by the sudden sound. She turned over, slowly opened her eyes, and rubbed her sleepy eyes.
After a moment, she took in the two people in front of her and forced a smile. "Foster father, why did you bring this iron-faced devil to see me? Are you asking him to teach me a lesson?"
Then, she laughed foolishly at herself, “Haha… let’s fight.
You can punish me with a ruler or a thunder whip, it's up to you. I'm useless now anyway, so beating me to death would be even better."
Xingze stretched out his right palm, and a ruler appeared out of thin air in his palm.
He gently tapped the ruler on the palm of his left hand, and each tap seemed to imply something.
His face was extremely cold, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, since you like being beaten by me so much, then go out and be punished."
His voice was low and threatening.
If it were in the past, Xu Wan would have been extremely scared and would have immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
Because she wants to survive in this sacred mountain, she has to understand the rules and be careful at all times.
Now, she is a waste.
She wants everyone to fear her and worship her.
"Hmph!" Xu Wan snorted coldly, her face full of disdain: "What did you say? It's windy here, I can't hear you."
There was a hint of provocation and teasing in her words.
After saying that, Xu Wan turned around resolutely, turned her back to Xingze and Chenxuan, and closed her eyes.
"Master, please help me take off the ruler."
Xingze suddenly turned around, bowed, and respectfully handed the ruler to Chenxuan with both hands.
Chen Xuan took the ruler with a stern look.
Xingze turned around, his eyes as sharp as knives, staring directly at Xu Wan who was lying on the couch in front of him.
He waved his sleeves lightly, the window opened wide, and snowflakes drifted in with the wind, bringing a biting cold.
Xu Wan was frightened by the sudden cold, opened her eyes suddenly, turned around,
He glared at Xingze and shouted, "Iron-faced King of Hell, what are you doing?
If you are sick, go to the vet, not me!"
Chen Xuan was so angry when he heard this that his white beard flew up and he shouted loudly: "Xiao Wan, that's enough!"
Xingze didn't care. He raised his hand, made a light stroke in the air, and threw Xu Wan out of the window along with the quilt.
The red cloak drew a graceful arc in the air and finally fell to the ground.
Xingze flashed and flew out of the window quickly, standing steadily in the snow.
The brocade quilt slowly unfolded, revealing Xu Wan's graceful figure in white nightgown.
She sat up in fear, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and shouted with displeasure on her face: "Molder! Xingze molested me! Help me..."
Chen Xuan hurried over with a cloak in his hand, looked at Xingze, and angrily scolded him, "Xiao Wan is making trouble, and you are making trouble too!"
