Chapter 22: The Three Great Scenic Spots, Dream Return Through the Ages

Seeing that Lu Xunxian had agreed, Chen Wangu could not help sighing.

“That White Jade Horse was bought from me at a tremendous price by that fellow Qin Guyue.”

“But now that it has ended up in your hands, I assume you must have gone up against Qin Guyue, right?”

“No, wait. Why am I worrying about you? The one I should be worrying about is Qin Guyue.”

By the time he reached the end, Chen Wangu suddenly came to his senses.

The one he ought to be concerned about was that fellow Qin Guyue, not Lu Xunxian standing before him.

After all, even he had been utterly crushed by Lu Xunxian, so Qin Guyue stood even less of a chance.

Meanwhile, Lu Xunxian wore a thoughtful expression.

He was considering whether he should go kill Qin Guyue first, just to avoid any future trouble.

But after thinking it over again, he decided against it. He did not like making a display of himself.

He could always kill Qin Guyue once the man came knocking. That would even save him the trouble of seeking him out.

“All right, enough about that. Do you know of any fun places around Chengtian City?”

Lu Xunxian did not dwell on the matter any further and instead looked at Chen Wangu as he asked.

Hearing that, Chen Wangu lowered his head and thought for a moment before asking curiously, “What are you planning to do?”

“Is not the Myriad Dao Academy on break right now? I promised to take the two children out to have some fun.”

Lu Xunxian did not hide anything from Chen Wangu now.

No discord, no concord—after their fight, they had come to understand each other. And on top of that, Chen Wangu had given such precious gifts to his son and daughter, so Lu Xunxian had already quietly started treating him as a friend.

“Is that so? Then I do have three places to recommend. It just depends on which one you choose.”

Chen Wangu listed the three places he recommended and let Lu Xunxian choose for himself.

At the side, Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun were also listening with utmost seriousness.

“The first place is the Seven-Colored Bee Kingdom.”

“The Seven-Colored Bee Kingdom is filled with Seven-Colored Bees. I am sure you know what those are, Old Lu. On top of that, the scenery is beautiful and the place is fairly safe, so every year a great number of cultivators go there for leisure.”

“The second place is the Skyborne Primordial Wilds.”

“Because the Skyborne Primordial Wilds are naturally free of gravity, and because there are many gentle-natured demon beasts there, it is likewise considered a suitable place for travel.”

“And the last place is the one I recommend the most—the Aurora Kingdom.”

“In the Aurora Kingdom, the night never ends, but the sky is filled with dazzling auroras. It is incomparably beautiful. And with its extremely dense Spiritual Energy, it is the place I recommend most of all.”

“So then, Old Lu, where do you plan to go?”

At the end, Chen Wangu looked at Lu Xunxian curiously and asked.

But Lu Xunxian simply looked at him as though he were an idiot.

“Can I not go to all three?”

Chen Wangu froze for a moment, then gave an awkward smile.

“That is true.”

“All right then. About how long will it take to gather the materials?”

Before leaving, Lu Xunxian asked curiously.

Chen Wangu asked the elder from earlier, then spoke after receiving an answer.

“If nothing unexpected happens, one month should be enough.”

“One month? That will do.”

Lu Xunxian muttered to himself.

He planned to spend one month total, taking ten days at each of the three scenic spots to travel with his son and daughter.

After that, he would return to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion to collect the items needed to enhance Wangcai’s bloodline, then head back to the Myriad Dao Academy and let the children cultivate for another month before classes resumed.

After saying that, Lu Xunxian was about to ask Chen Wangu for a map to those three great scenic spots, but Chen Wangu thumped his chest confidently and said, “What do you need a map for? I can just take you there myself.”

“You are sure?”

Lu Xunxian raised a brow.

“I am sure. Absolutely sure.”

“All right then. Since you are so willing, I will trouble you to lead the way.”

Lu Xunxian did not refuse.

He truly did need a few friends. Otherwise, life would be a little too dull.

Seeing Lu Xunxian agree, a trace of delight flashed across Chen Wangu’s face.

The things Ye Wushuang could think of, how could Chen Wangu fail to think of them?

Even with an Immortal Artifact in hand, he had still lost to Lu Xunxian, which showed just how powerful Lu Xunxian truly was.

And on top of that, Lu Xunxian was so young. Befriending him was clearly a choice with a hundred benefits and not a single drawback.

“Who was it? Who dared humiliate my son like this?”

At the city gates of Chengtian City, not a single person could be seen within several kilometers. Everyone had clearly received the news and left the area in advance.

A middle-aged man in black stood there with a dark expression, looking at Qin Ziyuan, who had already fainted from rage.

He was none other than Qin Guyue, the City Lord of Chengtian City and Qin Ziyuan’s father.

That was right—Qin Ziyuan had fainted from anger.

Not long after Lu Xunxian and the others left, Qin Ziyuan flew into impotent rage and passed out on the spot.

The few lackeys beside Qin Ziyuan looked at Qin Guyue as though they had seen a savior and immediately cried out for help.

“City Lord, save us!”

“Hmph.”

Qin Guyue had only just received word, and he had rushed over the moment he heard the news.

When he saw the scene before him, the fury in his heart nearly burst forth in tangible form.

Qin Ziyuan was the only child his late wife had left him. Bullying Qin Ziyuan now was no different from bullying him personally.

If he could not even avenge this, then what kind of husband would he have been to his late wife?

With that thought, Qin Guyue swept his hand through the air. It just so happened that the force Lu Xunxian had left behind had reached its limit, so Qin Ziyuan and his lackeys were naturally freed.

Then Qin Guyue stretched out a hand, and Qin Ziyuan flew over to him.

After channeling a stream of pure Spiritual Energy into him to help him recover, Qin Ziyuan slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he saw his father, he burst into tears.

“Dad, you finally came! I was bullied! They bullied me!”

Qin Ziyuan had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life. The instant he saw his father, he found someone to rely on and could no longer hold it in. He broke down on the spot.

Seeing that, Qin Guyue was heartbroken. He pulled Qin Ziyuan into his arms and comforted him.

“Do not worry, Ziyuan. No matter who it was, your father will definitely avenge you.”

“But first, you need to tell me clearly what happened.”

Qin Guyue had rushed over the moment he got the news, so he still did not know the exact cause.

Qin Ziyuan did not dare delay either, and he began recounting the entire matter with plenty of embellishment.

Hearing that, the anger on Qin Guyue’s face only deepened. Throughout the whole of Chengtian City, cultivators felt an incomparably suffocating pressure. From those at Spirit Entry all the way up to those at the Saint Monarch Realm, all of them looked toward the city gates with terrified expressions.

“What arrogance! Not only did they steal my son’s horse, they even humiliated him like this. They clearly did not put me in their eyes at all!”

“Dream Return Through the Ages!”

With a furious roar from Qin Guyue, terrifying Spiritual Energy burst out from his body. Everything around him was affected by his spell, and space itself seemed to freeze.

Very soon, the surrounding scenery began to flow backward.

This move was Qin Guyue’s ultimate trump card—Dream Return Through the Ages.

Once cast, it could reverse the images within a certain area over a short span of time, allowing him to see what had happened there.

Had his son not suffered such humiliation, Qin Guyue would never have used this move so easily.

Moreover, although Qin Guyue was burning with rage, he had not lost his reason because of it.

The White Jade Horse was a genuine beast at the Peak of the Saint King Realm. For someone to take it from Ziyuan and leave him with no chance to use the means Qin Guyue had given him, that person had to be at least at the Saint Monarch Realm, perhaps even the Saint Emperor Realm.

So if the other party had already realized what was happening, they had probably fled Chengtian City by now.

In order to avenge his son, he was willing to use Dream Return Through the Ages. Otherwise, if this matter spread, how could he preserve any face as the City Lord of Chengtian City in the future?
