Chapter 697: Chapter 189 Above the Sky-Man, Is the Immortal (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
“Princely Heir, don’t take risks.”
Granny Qianhua spoke, her face still betraying a trace of lingering fear.
Seeing Granny Qianhua reveal such an expression,
Cheng Guang didn’t need to guess to understand that Granny Qianhua had already been to the Huashan Sword Sect to see for herself.
“Demonic filth?”
“Will one risk possession upon close approach?”
…
Having experienced the incident with the Buddha Head Statue, and with the recent system task reward he acquired, the Seven-Star Lotus Platform,
Cheng Guang was already quite familiar with demonic filth.
For ordinary people, the perilous demonic filth was indeed dangerous, but for Cheng Guang himself, it wasn’t as hazardous.
As long as Cheng Guang was willing,
even if he was imbued with demonic filth, it was no big deal.
Firstly,
Cheng Guang possessed the Seven-Star Lotus Platform, capable of purifying the demonic filth within his body.
Secondly,
Having learned most of Tang Sanzang’s Buddhist Divine Powers, Cheng Guang already had the ability to purify demonic filth to some extent.
With both abilities at his disposal, Cheng Guang believed he was no longer afraid of demonic filth.
The demonic filth that terrified Granny Qianhua and caused her great caution,
to Cheng Guang himself, was indeed nothing much.
Cheng Guang had already made up his mind; he definitely intended to visit the Huashan Sword Sect.
However,
he didn’t immediately disclose his intentions.
He would simply sneak away later.
There was no need to have Granny Qianhua consent to his actions.
Otherwise, if he told Granny Qianhua, she would certainly disagree, and it would only lead to her excessive worry over Cheng Guang himself.
Cheng Guang was quite confident in his own strength.
Mulling over the matter in his heart, Cheng Guang still nodded obediently on the surface.
“I’ll listen to Granny then, I won’t go to the Huashan Sword Sect.”
At this moment, Granny Qianhua, oblivious to Cheng Guang’s cultivation strength that had reached Sky-Man, heard him, the Duke’s Heir, agree so docilely, and she herself also relaxed.
“That’s good.”
“Princely Heir, why don’t you and Qianxue rest for a while at the Taihao Sword Sect, then return later?”
Cheng Guang complied with a smile and a nod.
During this time, Granny Qianhua called Ning Qianxue back and asked Cheng Guang to accompany her to stay at the Taihao Sword Sect for a while.
The main purpose
was not entirely because Granny Qianhua wanted to tell Ning Qianxue the news about Ning Liang’s trouble,
nor was it entirely to have Ning Qianxue shoulder the responsibility of the Taihao Sword Sect.
Otherwise, Granny Qianhua would not have just said that her old bones could still be of some use.
It seemed,
perhaps it was merely because Granny Qianhua missed Ning Qianxue.
Ning Liang was Granny Qianhua’s son.
How could the pain of losing a son not cut to the bone?
No matter how strong Granny Qianhua was, at this moment, she was just a mother who had lost her son.
She needed comfort.
She needed company too.
Realizing this, Cheng Guang also felt some compassion for Granny Qianhua, this seemingly strong old woman.
“Qianxue, you stay here and keep Granny company for a while, I’ll just get our luggage sorted out.”
Cheng Guang said softly, patting Ning Qianxue’s hand as he did so.
Hearing Cheng Guang, Ning Qianxue became anxious, jumping to her feet and hastily saying, “Princely Heir, let me do the packing.”
Cheng Guang shook his head, pressing Ning Qianxue back down into her chair.
“That’s not necessary, Qianxue. Just keep Granny company for the time being.”
“As for packing, I can manage that myself. Besides, I have Qing Luan to help me. Nothing will go wrong.”
Ning Qianxue frowned slightly, shaking her head, “I’m not worried about your packing abilities, Princely Heir, but such tasks…”
Cheng Guang laughed, tapping Ning Qianxue’s forehead.
“Don’t fret over it, I am capable of handling it.”
With that, Cheng Guang departed with Qing Luan.
After Cheng Guang left with Qing Luan,
Granny Qianhua watched his receding figure and couldn’t help but express her admiration:
“The Princely Heir is truly commendable.”
“To be the Duke’s Heir yet have such a grounded attitude to life, Qianxue, you are fortunate to marry someone like the Princely Heir.”
Ning Qianxue, being complimented by Granny Qianhua, blushed a bit.
She lowered her head, unsure of what to reply.
Seeing Ning Qianxue’s response, Granny Qianhua smiled gently.
The weighty matters from before seemed a little lighter because of Ning Qianxue.
Afterward,
Granny Qianhua and Ning Qianxue chatted, hit or miss.
Mostly, Granny Qianhua spoke while Ning Qianxue listened.
The atmosphere between the two quickly became very pleasant.
While Granny Qianhua was conversing with Ning Qianxue,
Cheng Guang, with his luggage, arrived at Ning Qianxue’s courtyard with Qing Luan.
After quickly packing,
Cheng Guang unfurled the Flying Boat, preparing to head in the direction of the Huashan Sword Sect for a look.
The Huashan Sword Sect was not too far from the Taihao Sword Sect.
With the speed of the Flying Boat, it would only take a few hours to return.
He could even make it back before dinner.
It wouldn’t draw Granny Qianhua’s or Ning Qianxue’s attention.
Qing Luan, seeing Cheng Guang summon the Flying Boat, spoke in surprise, “Princely Heir, are you planning to go somewhere?”
Cheng Guang glanced at Qing Luan, “I’m going to the Huashan Sword Sect.”
“Do you want to come with me?”
He had no intention of hiding this from Qing Luan.
After all, she would have to find out that he was leaving.
If he didn’t tell Qing Luan, Granny Qianhua would eventually ask, and it would be impossible to keep it a secret.
