Free Web NovelChapter 682: 765 Moving
Besides inviting Qianyi, Ruoqing, and Xiao Jiu to move in, Chen Mo also called Nangong Xue and Nangong Yue.
After many days of recovery, Nangong Xue’s injuries have mostly healed.
Nangong Yue was delighted to hear the news.
The Spirit Peak is a privilege reserved for direct disciples and inner sect elders; a benefit unattainable by outer sect or inner sect disciples.
Yet Nangong Xue refused, and when Nangong Yue wanted to say something, Nangong Xue stopped her.
They already owed Chen Mo too much; if they moved to Merak Peak, it would be impossible to repay him.
If Chen Mo wanted something from her then, she would feel awkward refusing.
After all, one cannot be ungrateful to those who provide, nor harsh to those who feed you.
Seeing Nangong Xue’s firm attitude, Chen Mo didn’t say more.
Just then, Jiang Ruoqing suddenly spoke: "You still need to teach us, so if you don’t come to Merak Peak, how will you teach us?"
Zhao Qianyi also nodded and said, "I know you don’t want to owe my husband a favor. You can completely pass on what the elder taught you to us. That way, you can repay the favor without delaying your cultivation."
Hearing this, Nangong Xue was taken aback.
Nangong Yue, seeing an opportunity, also began to persuade: "Sister, Ruoqing and Qianyi both make sense, don’t you think?"
Looking at Nangong Yue’s hopeful expression, Nangong Xue silently nodded after a while.
"Sister, that’s great." Nangong Xue was a little excited; to her, the Spirit Peak was secondary, the main thing was to see Chen Mo.
If Chen Mo moved into Merak Peak and they stayed at Suoxian Courtyard, meeting would become difficult.
Jiang Ruoqing, meanwhile, smiled subtly at Chen Mo, her gaze implying much.
Chen Mo smiled and touched his nose.
...
When the girls entered Merak Peak, they were much more shocked than Chen Mo had exaggerated.
The sky was washed deep blue, not a hint of cloud, and the gentle bright sunlight shined down, pristine.
On the mountaintop, the spirit trees twisted and spread their branches, emanating an ancient aura.
A waterfall a thousand feet high dropped straight from the peak, the rich True Qi prompted the girls to take a deep breath.
"Such rich essence of heaven and earth. If I cultivate here for a year or so, I could definitely break through to Middle Stage Foundation Establishment," Nangong Yue exclaimed.
"I originally thought the outer sect environment was paradise. Apparently, my experience is lacking," Zhao Qianyi marveled, though she was once the eldest princess of the Great Song Dynasty, what she had seen was insignificant compared to this.
With yearning in her eyes, Nangong Xue looked at Chen Mo beside her and said lightly: "Thank you."
"Why thank me? That’s Yiren’s Spirit Peak; if you’re grateful, thank her." Chen Mo said.
"Yiren?" The girls all looked at Chen Mo.
"It’s Elder Zuoqiu; she asked me to call her Yiren, said it sounds younger." Chen Mo explained.
Nangong Xue was unconcerned, feeling that Zuoqiu Yiren must value Chen Mo to treat him this way.
As the group chatted and laughed.
The long whistle of immortals cranes soared into the sky, one after another.
In the surprised gazes of Chen Mo’s group, five white dots in the distance darted over like arrows, initially the size of fists, but when above the group, they became immortal cranes several times larger than their bodies.
"Boom!"
At the same time, the waterfall burst open, and a black Flood Dragon surged out.
The girls all retreated in fright.
Chen Mo introduced to the girls: "This is Jiao Mu, a senior, Yiren’s mount."
"Using a Flood Dragon as a mount..." The girls were stunned, showing an expression of having never seen the world.
Yet Jiao Mu moved close to the girls, speaking to Chen Mo: "Let your wives ride the immortal cranes. You, come up, the master urged."
His voice was deep.
"Alright." Chen Mo turned to the girls and said: "Qianyi, Ruoqing, Xiao Jiu... you all ride the cranes, we’ll meet up above."
After speaking, Chen Mo jumped onto Jiao Mu’s back, a water ball enveloped him, he glanced at the girls, then plunged into the waterfall, moving upstream.
Xiao Jiu was the first to react, jumped on an immortal crane, and had it follow.
Qianyi and Ruoqing quickly followed.
"I knew Brother Chen Mo was not as simple as he seemed. Sister, let’s quickly catch up." Nangong Yue said.
At this moment, Nangong Xue realized a point: when Chen Mo mentioned their origins, he vaguely said they were from Celestial Heart City, coming to learn the Shenxiao Sect’s Thunder Technique.
Now it seems, not as simple as he said.
...
The immortal cranes’ speed naturally couldn’t match the Flood Dragon’s.
When the girls arrived, Chen Mo was already conversing with Zuoqiu Yiren in the small courtyard.
Looking at the vast Celestial Pool, the girls were once again too shocked to speak.
Zhao Qianyi, Jiang Ruoqing, and Xiao Jiu were better off since they didn’t know what the water in the Celestial Pool was, only sensing its energy abundance with a feeling of awe.
However, Nangong Xue and Nangong Yue knew this was the liquid essence of heaven and earth.
Back at the Nangong Family, the two sisters had seen a small bottle of liquid essence of heaven and earth, valued at a hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones.
But here was an entire large pool, how much was this worth?
Immeasurable, astronomical.
The immortal cranes placed the girls outside the small courtyard and flew away.
"Disciple Jiang Ruoqing, pays respects to Elder Zuoqiu!"
"Disciple Zhao Qianyi, pays respects to Elder Zuoqiu."
"Disciple Nangong Xue, pays respects to Elder Zuoqiu."
"Disciple Nangong Yue, pays respects to Elder Zuoqiu."
Seeing Zuoqiu Yiren’s gaze sweep over, the girls promptly bowed respectfully, only Xiao Jiu was slow to follow suit.
Zuoqiu Yiren was surprised, this many?
The Sect Leader didn’t tell her about Chen Mo’s wives; she knew of only three, how did it become five now?
Surprised as she was, Zuoqiu Yiren didn’t bother Chen Mo, addressing the girls: "Well, the conditions on the mountain are limited, my house can’t accommodate so many, so you’ll need to build your own living quarters. Consider it a kind of training; you can model them after my wooden house and build some by the Celestial Pool."
"Yes, Elder." The girls didn’t show a hint of dissatisfaction, being able to stay on Merak Peak was more than enough, the True Qi here was a hundred times denser than at the Suoxian Courtyard.
"Don’t be so formal, there are no strict rules on Merak Peak. Feel free to explore. For building materials, there are plenty of spirit trees on the mountain, just don’t damage the roots; they’ll grow back next year." Zuoqiu Yiren said only a few words before feeling a bit tired, saying: "Alright, you all go, Chen Mo, come with me."
"Yes."
...
Once Zuoqiu Yiren floated away, the girls all let out a sigh of relief. Nangong Yue said: "Elder Zuoqiu has such a strong presence, I felt like I could barely breathe. But Elder Zuoqiu is really beautiful, even more so than I’ve heard, just like a fairy."
