Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 13: No time limit

Canglong Mansion, Wei family.

The Wei family is full of joy today.

Because today is the birthday of the old lady of the Wei family.

Zheng Shufeng was sitting in the birthday girl's seat, leaning on a dragon-head crutch, happily accepting congratulations from all sides.

Time has turned the once graceful and luxurious lady into a vicissitudes of life. Despite this, no one dares to look down upon this lady.

It was she who turned the tide and saved the Wei family from the edge of ruin. Not only that, she also made the Wei family prosperous and became the first big family in Canglong Mansion and even the entire Lingzhou. And with the news that Wei Tianchong has been promoted to the Heart Demon and that Tang Jie has returned to become the young master, the Wenxin State-level family may have another one. Although she is no longer the head of the family and does not care about family affairs, she still has great authority. Even the current head of the family does not dare to go against any of the old lady's opinions.

At this moment, sitting in the hall, the steward was shouting loudly:

"Master Bai Cangqiongbai, the imperial envoy of the Bianchao and Jin Dynasties, sent someone to celebrate his birthday and sent ten pieces of brocade, a box of jade fat, and a box of silk and satin!"

"Master Bo Situnan, Lord of Qiongzhou, and Governor He Mingchang, together with Magistrate Canglong, wish you a joint birthday. I wish the old lady a long life as long as Nanshan, and blessings as good as the East Sea. They present a copy of Tao Dayuan's "Shangyuan Picture", ten boxes of silk and satin, and Tianxiang longevity peaches. One!"

"Canglong Branch Helmsman Li Tiansheng and Mr. Li personally come to wish me a birthday..."

"The head of the Canglong Zhou family came with his children to celebrate his birthday..."

"Headmaster Han of the Yuhua Sect sent someone to wish him a happy birthday..."

Officials from all over the country, small and medium-sized sects, and major families all sent people or came to the Wei Mansion in person to celebrate their birthdays and send them gifts. For a time, the front door of the Wei Mansion was like a market.

Zheng Shufeng looked at the guests from all over the country and was also happy.

As I get older, I will be afraid of loneliness and like to be lively. I always told the old lady that days like this are not long anymore, so I can be happy every day.

However, deep down in my heart, there is always a glimmer of melancholy.

It has been three years since his son Wei Tianchong celebrated his birthday.

For those who cultivate immortality, years are only a few months. For Wei Tianchong, it is impossible to pay homage every year.

However, because of this, Zheng Shufeng missed his son extraordinarily.

Occasionally I wonder if Tang Jie will come to see me after he comes back.

Speaking of which, it has been more than three months since he came back, and the news has already spread throughout Qixia. If you can come, you must come.

There is no news now. I don’t think he will come.

Also, Tang Jie had made great ambitions back then. As long as Wei Tian broke into Tianxin, he would leave the Wei family.

Now that Wei Tianchong has become the inner demon, Tang Jie and the Wei family naturally have no intersection with each other. But in her heart, the old lady still hoped that Tang Jie could do something to let her know that Tang Jie actually cared about the Wei family.

However, this thought was like some kind of extravagant hope. The old lady did not see the figure she expected, and could only sigh helplessly.

This sigh frightened many of the people waiting around. They all asked what they had done wrong, but the old lady just shook her head.

The atmosphere became slightly heavy due to this sigh, but fortunately it was quickly diluted by the breath of joy.

By the time the guests dispersed, it was already late at night.

The servants began to clear away the tables and chairs and put out the lights. The old lady also felt sleepy and wanted to go back to the house to rest.

At this moment, a young man walked in from outside the Wei Mansion.

A servant saw him and asked: "Who are you?"

The man said: "I came to celebrate the old lady's birthday."

The servant said: "The birthday party is over. You are late. The old lady needs to rest and will not see guests. You should go back."

The man said: "I came here at this time to save myself trouble."

"Yes." The servant was stunned and looked at the other person. He saw that the other person was a young man with fine features, but he didn't see anything strange about him. In the midst of surprise, the other party said: "My name is Tang Jie."

The servant was stunned at first, thinking that the name was somewhat familiar. Then he came to his senses, pointed at Tang Jie and trembled: "You...you...Master Tang? Are you Master Tang?"

Tang Jie didn't know that he was called this in the mansion now, so he smiled and said, "Can I go in now?"

"Yes...it's okay..." The servant nodded repeatedly, then thought of something, and crawled into the house, shouting: "Tang Jie is coming, Tang Jie is coming!"

The tone sounded like a robber coming.

The old lady who was about to return to the house was shocked and looked behind her in disbelief: "What?"

I saw a young man walking behind the servant.

The old lady rubbed her eyes and looked carefully, but she couldn't see clearly for a while, so she hurriedly shouted: "Zhi'er, Zhi'er, my old eyes are dim, please show me if it's Tang Jie."

The middle-aged man next to him was none other than Wei Tianzhi. He had a longer lifespan because he had practiced cultivation. At this moment, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Mother, the child has seen it, it is indeed the robbery of the Tang Dynasty."

Zheng Shufeng hurriedly walked forward, leaning on a dragon-head crutch. He had just taken two steps when he saw an additional figure in front of him. He supported himself and said, "Be careful, madam, don't fall."

This familiar voice made Zheng Shufeng tremble. He opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to touch Tang Jie's face: "It is indeed you... It's still the same, it hasn't changed at all!"

Tang Jie smiled and said: "My wife is still as charming as ever."

"Me?" Zheng Shufeng shook his head: "No, I'm an old woman, an old monster who has lived for almost two hundred years. Now think about it, it's better for you to become immortals. No matter how good the glory and wealth in this world is, a hundred years After that, it will be just a passing cloud, nothing like you... nothing like you..."

The voice gradually became lower.

Tang Jie supported her and walked aside: "Madam, don't be envious. Cultivators also have risks. How many people fell on the road before they reached that step. This fate may not be as good as that of ordinary people. . I was only able to get to where I am today because of a moment of luck. But who knows if I will encounter a strong opponent tomorrow, who will kill me with a flip of his hand and still be ahead of my wife."

"Bah, bah, bah, crow's mouth, don't say these unlucky words." Zheng Shufeng waved his hands and said.

"Yes, yes, the little one is stupid and stupid, so he deserves to be beaten." Tang Jie said, acting like a servant.

Hearing these words, Zheng Shufeng seemed to have seen Tang Jie's appearance when he was a servant again, and couldn't help laughing: "I never expected that the good relationship that the two elders of the Wu family forged unintentionally could now be It has yielded such great good results, and my entire Wei family has benefited from it, and it has been blessed for hundreds of years. It’s a pity that the two elders and Manager Qin are not here now, so they couldn’t see you before leaving."

Tang Jie sighed: "This is also my regret. I was impulsive and led to leaving my hometown. Now that I think about it, it is really too much. By the way, how is Wu Xing now?"

While talking, the two of them had arrived at a small pavilion.

Tang Jie helped Zheng Shufeng sit down in the pavilion. Next to him, Wei Tianzhi said: "He has already gone."

"Huh?" Tang Jie was stunned: "Wu Xing died? How did he die?"

Wu Xing, like Wei Tianzhi, was also a practitioner, so there was no reason to die like this.

Wei Tianzhi replied: "Seventy years ago, while escorting a caravan, Wu Xing was robbed by cultivators on the road. During the fight, Wu Xing died."

"Who dares to rob the Wei family's caravan? Where is Tianchong?" Tang Jie was puzzled.

"It was a cultivator from the Li country. After tracing it later, I found out that it was a small sect called Yuquan. After knowing this, Tianchong would also have a hard time handling it. If it was a sect in Wenxin's country, with his current status He can cope with his status and strength, but when it comes to the Li Kingdom, it is not easy for him to manage. In terms of status, his status has no control over that. In terms of fists, it is still a sect. The leader of the sect is Huahun Zhenren, and his subordinates are also There are several transformed souls and inner demons who are stronger than him."

Tang Jie then understood why Wei Tianchong didn't go to trouble them.

He asked: "Is this the intention of their entire sect or is it an individual act?"

Wei Tianzhi replied: "This is a bandit sect that has always relied on robbery to develop. They were originally just a small sect under the leader of the Heart Demon Sect, but they relied on this method to advance quickly. However, they are also cunning and do not treat the local people well. We attack caravans specifically to deal with foreign caravans, and we always scout out the targets first, and do not attack caravans protected by strong people, and then bribe some cultivators from the Qijue Sect, so that people can do nothing about them."

"So that's it." Tang Jie understood. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Does the Wu family have any descendants?"

"Yes, I have a son and a daughter." Wei Tianzhi replied: "My son's name is Wu Tang, in memory of you. He is one hundred and two years old now. He is also a member of the Wang clan of Canglong Mansion and has been friends with our Wei family for generations. Okay, everyone below is related. One of my granddaughters is now the daughter-in-law of the Wu family."

"That's good." After hearing about the Wu family, Tang Jie felt relieved. After thinking for a while, he said: "This Yuquan Sect will no longer exist in the future."

Just such an understatement decided the fate of everyone in a sect. Zheng Shufeng and Wei Tianzhi trembled in their hearts at the same time. Only then did they realize that the person standing in front of them was no longer the same person as before. The little servant Tang Jie is actually the world-famous young master of the Xiyue Sect, Tang Jie.

This realization made them remain silent in the subsequent conversation, and they did not dare to say anything easily.

Tang Jie noticed this and immediately felt his mood waned.

He knew that they could not be blamed for this. Although he had deliberately concealed it, Zheng Shufeng and the others still caught the hint of the majesty of a superior person that he inadvertently revealed.

If we continue talking like this, it will be a kind of torture for them.

So Tang Jie stood up and said, "I still have things to do, so I won't stay any longer."

"Are you leaving?" Zheng Shufeng stood up. ~IndoMTL.com~ Although I was a little scared when I spoke, I saw that the person was about to leave, but I was reluctant to leave.

Tang Jie said with a smile: "Yes. I have an agreement with the Qijue Sect. I should have fulfilled it long ago, but it has been delayed until now for some reason. A few days ago, the faction officially sent a letter telling them that I am still willing to fulfill the agreement, so The Qi Jue Sect has officially issued an invitation letter, inviting me to be a guest at the Qi Jue Sect. I am actually just on my way to see the old lady, and I am going to Li Country now."

Of course, the Yuquan sect was also wiped out along the way. Wei Tianzhi said in his heart, looking at Tang Jie again, he saw a smile on his face, and there was the slightest sign of killing someone secretly.

For him, this is really just a small matter.

Wei Tianzhi let out a long sigh, and finally cupped his hands and said: "In that case, I would like to send you to the immortal."

Tang Jie waved his sleeves and walked forward. He didn't see any movement. He just stepped into the air step by step, and disappeared in an instant like he was on a ladder to heaven.

The mother and son looked at each other, and suddenly realized at the same time that they would never see each other again.
