Chapter 59 - Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife
Chapter 59: I Will Take Care of Your Family "Master, has the issue with the Tai Family been resolved?" The next morning, An Ruoshui had already started refining pills early in the morning. She was accustomed to waking up early since childhood, let alone now that she had entered the path of immortality. Xia Changge walked out refreshed, and An Ruoshui asked him about it. Last night was too joyful, coupled with Xia Changge giving her a true flying sword, which pleasantly surprised An Ruoshui. She completely forgot to inquire about this matter and happily followed her master's family all along. Now that she had sobered up a bit, she definitely had to show some concern for this issue. Compared to staying at Xia Changge's home, An Ruoshui hoped to go to the outskirts where the spiritual field was located. First, because her loved ones were there, and second, because she had already become accustomed to the life there. Moreover, she would have the chance to be alone with Xia Changge there. Without her fellow martial sisters around, An Ruoshui felt much more relaxed and at ease, unlike here where she felt a heavy pressure and constraint. "I personally took care of it, so this small problem could naturally be easily resolved," Xia Changge said confidently. An Ruoshui had no doubts about Xia Changge's words and was extremely surprised. She asked, "Then... can I go to the fields now?" Xia Changge refused, "Not for now. Just stay here. But Ruoshui, do you know about your father's situation?" Mentioning this, An Ruoshui's expression no longer had a smile, and she felt troubled in her heart. After all, he was her father. Although his actions were excessive, what could she do? Xia Changge indeed didn't plan to just let it go. After surveying the surroundings, he said in a low voice, "The young master from the Tai Family who was causing trouble for you, wanting to possess both you and your... mother... I have already killed both him and his servant. But that guy's parents are ninth-level Qi refining cultivators. In the future, they will certainly not let it go. If they investigate this side and your father... if he doesn't cooperate even a little, I might expose myself." Xia Changge was confident that the Tai Family couldn't find him. But he was worried about the method of killing one thousand in order to let none slip away used by such a family. The Tai Family would definitely come looking for him. If the Tai Family found out about their dispute... it was unclear if they would resort to targeted killings. The deaths of those two individuals were definitely something that couldn't be concealed. Whether Xia Changge spoke about it or not, the only loophole would be An Zun. Of course, Xia Changge was also aware of the risk of disclosing what he had done voluntarily, so he would need to do some mental work with An Ruoshui later. He might even ask Xu Bai Cha to talk to An Ruoshui about the situation. Upon hearing Xia Changge's words, An Ruoshui's expression instantly paled. Her master actually killed those two people from the Tai Family? This matter was not small at all! If she wasn't careful, she would really be... implicated. "So... so what should we do, Master?" An Ruoshui appeared at a loss, not knowing what to do. After all, she had always stayed in a small mountain village since she was little and hadn't experienced any storms. Xia Changge smiled and said, "Don't worry. After all, you are my disciple. I won't do anything to your father. I'll just arrange for him to live elsewhere for a period of time and lay low." Xia Changge really wanted to slap that scoundrel to death. He wanted to eliminate any potential troubles. But in order to avoid creating any distance with his disciple, he ultimately had to choose a more kind disposition. He would transfer him to a remote location that had no connection to this matter. The Tai Family wouldn't be able to find him, and he wouldn't be able to contact the Tai Family. "Alright." In the end, An Ruoshui nodded and agreed to her master's arrangement, considering it the best outcome. "Oh, I didn't want to do that either, but who could have imagined that they would forcefully come to abduct me on my way to the Immortal City, and even make me swallow a poisonous pill that would control me for a lifetime. I had no choice but to resist," Xia Changge explained to An Ruoshui about the cruelty he encountered and his helplessness. This wasn't Xia Changge covering up his actions; he was indeed acting in self-defense. An Ruoshui seemed to be able to empathize with the urgent situation Xia Changge had encountered. After Xia Changge left, An Ruoshui calmed herself down and continued to attempt pill refinement. Xia Changge went straight to the spiritual field. Seeing that his property was still in order, he was satisfied with the situation. Xia Changge found Xu Bai Cha and informed her about the situation. "Madam Xu, rest assured, within half a year, I will definitely return your husband to you unharmed. If anything goes wrong, I'll let you decide how to deal with me," Xia Changge assured, further guaranteeing his promise. Of course, this time Xia Changge didn't tell Xu Bai Cha about destroying the Tai Family. The more people who knew, the greater the risk. Xu Bai Cha didn't quite understand why he had to do this. Did something else happen? But Xia Changge had already come to this point. What could Xu Bai Cha do? She, as a mortal, couldn't resist anything Xia Changge did to her. Xia Changge was truly kind. He could have just taken her husband away without giving any explanation. But he insisted on finding a sufficient excuse to stop her from speaking. "By the way, Madam, please go and tell Ruoshui the specific situation. Tell her everything, and she must understand how malicious the people from the Tai Family are," Xia Changge requested. With the consent of the two family members, Xia Changge no longer needed to consider the feelings of the parties involved. Because what Xia Changge was doing was already very benevolent. Xia Changge gave Xu Bai Cha some advice and arranged for her to go to the city to meet her daughter, taking the opportunity to rest for a few days. After Xu Bai Cha tidied herself up, she followed his orders and headed towards the city. Xia Changge went to An's house, where An Zun anxiously received him. "An Zun, I have a task for you that I need your help with," Xia Changge said, already having thought of sufficient reasons to arrange things for An Zun. An Zun trembled and said, "Master, please tell me." "Recently, I need a large quantity of medicinal herbs for cultivation. After all, your daughter's pill refining requires medicinal herbs. I trust you relatively more, so I plan to have you stay in the mortal city for about half a year, collecting medicinal herbs that are fifty years or older for me. I'll give you a certain reward based on the quantity, and I can even give you elixirs that can extend your lifespan and enhance your constitution. Do you have any objections?" Xia Changge explained. Upon learning that he would be transferred to the mortal city, reliving the days at the beginning, An Zun really didn't want to. However, he didn't have the courage to speak up. "Don't worry. I will take good care of your wife while you're away so that you won't have any worries. If you have no objections, prepare yourself to depart soon," Xia Changge said. (This chapter is complete)
