Chapter 160 The Past of Elder Kong
Chapter 160 The Past of Elder Kong
Not long after returning home, Xu Luo and Xu Muge left the three dynasties to gain experience and seek new opportunities.
Actually, after they learned that Su Xinyan was pregnant, they originally planned to wait until their younger brother or sister was born, meet her, and then go out.
However, the battle between Xu Qingzhou and the Ninth Prince outside Luomu Ridge not only stunned the world but also frightened them.
It turns out that the clan leader, who had always kept a low profile, was actually so extraordinary.
This put a lot of pressure on them, making them feel that they could no longer slack off and had to continue to work hard.
They didn't bring Xu Chen because the gap between Xu Chen's strength and theirs was too great.
If they encounter danger, they will have to take care of Xu Chen, and Xu Chen will not be able to gain any experience by following them, so it is better for them to separate.
Xu Chen originally wanted to leave the three dynasties, but Xu Qingzhou felt that his strength was still lacking and he needed to improve it before he could go on a long journey for training.
Beyond the three great dynasties, there are countless powerful figures. Xu Luo and Xu Muge are both at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, capable of fighting against late-stage Yuan Shen realm experts.
Xu Chen, however, was only at the late stage of the Profound Core realm, and would find it difficult to contend with even slightly stronger early stage Purple Mansion realm cultivators.
So let's stay in the starting village and develop slowly.
Old Kong still lives in his courtyard. Occasionally, Xu Qingzhou would chat with Old Kong, and the three of them, including Xu Chen, would have a few drinks together.
Over time, Xu Qingzhou learned about Elder Kong's past.
The reason he became like that before was because his family suffered a tragedy, and he was unable to rush back in time. In the end, his family was destroyed, and all his children and grandchildren perished.
He fought a fierce battle with his enemy, but was defeated and seriously wounded, and fled.
The double blow to his mind and body plunged him into a state of suspended animation. His subconscious was aware of what was happening around him, but he could not speak, think, or wake up.
Later, Xu Qingzhou and Xu Chen took him back to the Xu family. Although his soul injury healed, the trauma in his heart remained, so he never woke up.
It was Xu Chen's words when the Xu family was in trouble that finally awakened him.
That's why he said, "My child, I'm here this time," after waking up.
Over the years, Xu Chen has taken care of his daily life and often chatted with him. He has come to regard Xu Chen as his own child.
This awakening also improved his state of mind, restored his confidence, and made him decide to continue cultivating so that one day he could avenge his family.
.....
As time went by, Su Xinyan's belly gradually grew bigger.
The professional midwife originally estimated that she would take two years to give birth, but in reality, it was delayed by another six months.
Su Xinyan was pregnant for two and a half years before she showed signs of giving birth.
In the past two and a half years, Xu Family's Drunken Immortal Restaurant has opened branches in cities large and small throughout the Great Qi Dynasty.
With the Xu family's current prestige and strength, no force dares to make any underhanded moves, so Zuixianlou is operating very smoothly and doing very well.
The intelligence operations based in the restaurant have also begun to take shape.
Xu Qingzhou, residing in Lingyue City, would be among the first to know of any disturbances within the Great Qi Dynasty.
Even secrets of many factions were sent to Xu Qingzhou through the Drunken Immortal Pavilion's intelligence network.
It can be said that the clan leader knows everything under the heavens without ever leaving his home.
Xu Chen, who went to the Black Feather Dynasty for training, also broke through to the Purple Mansion Realm.
Xu Muge and Xu Luo, both from the eastern region of Cangzhou, broke through to the Yuan Shen realm one after the other.
With the support of his cultivation, Xu Qingzhou easily broke through to the Heavenly Palace Realm.
Although Xu Qingzhou is not the youngest Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator, he is definitely the fastest and easiest to advance from the Profound Core Realm to the Heavenly Palace Realm.
He only occasionally took drugs and didn't really cultivate much, yet he broke through to the next level in a daze.
After breaking through from the middle three realms to the upper three realms, he began to have initial contact with the laws of heaven and earth, and his own strength was greatly improved.
Xu Qingzhou clenched his fist with all his might.
"boom!"
A deafening roar of collapsing void suddenly resounded.
Xu Qingzhou felt as if the world was in his hands.
Even if a cultivator at the Heavenly Palace Realm goes outside the three great dynasties, he can still be called a strongman; if he stays in the three great dynasties, he will be a regional overlord.
However, Xu Qingzhou had no time to comprehend the power of the Heavenly Palace Realm at this moment. After stabilizing his realm, he immediately returned to Su Xinyan's side.
Quietly awaiting the birth of the child.
Upon hearing the news, members of the Xu family rushed back from outside, eager to welcome the birth of the young master of the Xu family.
The three chosen ones also returned one after another.
Su Xinyan's good friend, the Sixth Princess Song Yushu, also came.
Upon seeing Su Xinyan, whose belly was protruding and whose face was filled with loving kindness and peace, Song Yushu stood there, somewhat dazed.
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?" Su Xinyan asked.
Song Yushu stepped forward and placed her hand on her stomach, where she could clearly feel the life inside.
"You've changed a lot compared to before."
When I first met Su Xinyan, she was like a fairy from a celestial palace, untouched by the dust of the world, with an expression that kept people at a distance on her beautiful face.
After getting to know her, I realized that she was actually socially anxious.
But Su Xinyan has changed drastically.
She often wore a happy smile, and became even more gentle and serene.
Song Yushu couldn't help but exclaim, "Can marriage really change a person so much?"
"You'll know once you try it," Su Xinyan said casually.
Song Yushu shook her head. A strong-willed woman, she looked down on everyone.
Most importantly, now that the crown prince has been deposed, the royal family has officially entered the battle for the throne. She has to work hard to achieve her dream of becoming the first empress of the three great dynasties and has no time to think about matters of the heart.
They quickly returned to talking about children.
Song Yushu said, "Your child must be very talented."
"Maybe," Su Xinyan said nonchalantly, placing her hand on her stomach. In her view, regardless of talent, it was still her child.
Of course, she also hopes that her child will be more talented, so that he can have a higher potential and a longer lifespan.
Normally, the mother, Su Xinyan, is a top-tier spiritual body, and the father, Xu Qingzhou, is an even more powerful holy body. Although the probability of them conceiving a child is relatively small, once they do have a child, the child's talent will certainly be exceptional.
“It must be very good, it’s very likely to be a sacred body,” Song Yushu said.
When Song Yushu learned that Xu Qingzhou had already achieved perfect spiritual cultivation and easily defeated the Ninth Prince, she was so surprised that it took her a while to recover.
When Xu Qingzhou and Su Xinyan got together, she was a little puzzled as to why Su Xinyan would fall for the unremarkable Xu Qingzhou.
Now it seems that Su Xinyan was truly insightful, while I was the one who lacked vision and failed to see Xu Qingzhou's strength.
