Chapter 1404 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
"Yi Xiaolan is one of the three beauties in the martial arts world. It's not unusual for someone to propose marriage right after her divorce. It's just that Master Shen reacted the fastest. As far as I know, after learning about her divorce, some people had already had this idea. They just thought it wouldn't be appropriate to come over right after the divorce, so they beat her to it."
"I also heard that when Master Shen was seriously injured outside, he happened to see Miss Yi distributing porridge, so it can be said that there is some connection between them."
"So many days have passed, I wonder if Miss Yi has agreed to Master Shen's marriage proposal. I think the two of them are quite well-matched."
“Yes, Master Shen has never liked going out, so Peach Blossom Manor is definitely a good place to stay away from the world. Miss Yi also doesn’t like the fighting and killing in the martial arts world. These two should get along well.”
In a simple teahouse along the way, people from all walks of life were discussing the recent rumors.
Unbeknownst to them, two people with some connection to Yi Xiaolan were sitting quietly in the corner, listening to their conversation.
A-Zhu was not surprised by the result at all; in fact, she had expected it.
Xu Shan was only momentarily stunned before he came to his senses. Since he had chosen to divorce Yi Xiaolan, her future choices were no longer his concern. Besides, Shen Linsu seemed to genuinely care about Yi Xiaolan. Just as everyone in the martial arts world was saying, the two were a perfect match, both in appearance and personality.
The two had some history, which he was unaware of, and now that he knew, it was even less important to him.
However, he was still somewhat curious whether Yi Xiaolan would accept Shen Linsu's marriage proposal.
He got the answer to this question the next day.
The news that Shen Linsu, the master of Peach Blossom Manor, was going to marry Yi Xiaolan, one of the three beauties of the martial arts world, quickly spread throughout the martial arts world. Wherever there were people, there was talk of this matter.
I heard that all the well-known figures in the martial arts world have received invitations.
Recently, Azhen and Xu Shan's whereabouts have been uncertain, and it's inconvenient for them to communicate with Xin Shun. I wonder if they've received the invitation from Peach Blossom Manor.
"Father, shall we go take a look?" Azhen asked.
For Azhen, this excitement was optional; she wasn't particularly interested and didn't expect anything particularly exciting to happen at the wedding banquet.
She also didn't really recommend that Xu Shan attend the wedding, after all, Yi Xiaolan was his ex-wife, and everyone who came that day was a well-known figure in the martial arts world, so Xu Shan's position there would be somewhat awkward.
“I won’t attend the wedding banquet,” Xu Shan said, “otherwise it would make both sides uncomfortable.”
Even though he had some unpleasantness with Yi Xiaolan before, it wasn't a deep-seated hatred. After all, she was his daughter's biological mother, and his appearance would only disrupt her wedding.
Azhen didn't need to guess; she knew what Xu Shan was thinking. He was indeed a respectable person.
It's just that there are many things he genuinely doesn't know, so it's normal for him to think that way.
“But now that your mother is going to Peach Blossom Manor, she should go to the Yi family to bring Yanzhi back. Since your mother has gone to Peach Blossom Manor, he can’t stay alone at the Yi family.” Xu Shan said, he had never considered the possibility that his eldest disciple would be willing to go to Peach Blossom Manor with Yi Xiaolan.
A-Zhan smiled inwardly. As long as Yi Xiaolan was willing to bring Chu Yanzhi along, this guy would most likely be willing to go with her. He was very attached to Yi Xiaolan, his perfect "master's wife".
“Indeed, it’s time to bring Senior Brother back. He can’t stay in the Yi family anymore, and he certainly can’t go to Peach Blossom Manor with Mother,” Azhen said seemingly unintentionally.
Xu Shan was stunned for a moment, but still felt that it was impossible, after all, Chu Yanzhi was his disciple.
Having made their decision, the father and daughter didn't waste any time. They didn't take the carriage and headed straight for the Yi family's residence. However, they encountered something along the way that delayed them somewhat.
As they passed by a small or medium-sized sect in the martial arts world, they sensed that something was amiss. They hadn't originally planned to stop, but the strong smell of blood in the air made them decide to go and see what was going on.
"This is the Golden Dragon Sword Sect. Something might have happened," Xu Shan whispered to Azhen, holding Azhen's hand with one hand and a knife in the other, his whole demeanor on guard.
Before long, they arrived at the gate of the Golden Dragon Sword Sect, where they saw two corpses lying at the entrance.
The two approached cautiously and stepped through the open door. Upon seeing the scene inside, Xu Shan gasped.
The Golden Dragon Sword Sect has been wiped out!
At the same time, Azhen saw a few people still alive standing in the courtyard, but they were not from the Golden Dragon Sword Sect.
Dressed in white, they looked somewhat ethereal and mysterious. However, in the martial arts world, no one believed they were immortals descended from heaven; they were only wary and cautious.
These people also saw Azhen and Xu Shan. At this moment, the father and daughter did not conceal their appearance. After all, the mysterious organization behind them would almost never cause them any more trouble. The matter was over, so there was no need to hide their identities. They were not shameful.
“So it’s Master Xu and Miss Xu,” Chao Xianxue’s voice rang out, cold and indifferent. “This is how it was when we arrived. We just checked and found that the people from the Golden Dragon Sword Sect were probably silenced before dawn, which means four hours have passed.”
Just then, several people ran out of the house. They paid no attention to Azhen and Xu Shan and respectfully approached Chao Xianxue: "Young Master, we couldn't find the Golden Dragon Blade. It must have been taken by the thieves."
Azhen and Xu Shan suddenly realized that the people from Xingyue Palace had come to steal the Golden Dragon Blade.
“They’re just unlucky,” one of the Star Moon Palace members said. “If they had met us first, they wouldn’t have died; they would have only lost a Golden Dragon Blade.”
The man spoke with a hint of arrogance, but upon seeing Chao Xianxue's indifferent expression, he shut his mouth.
If the current situation weren't so inappropriate, Xu Shan would have been amused by those words.
Putting aside other things, he didn't dislike Chao Xianxue of Xingyue Palace that much.
Although this young man is from the Star Moon Palace, he is indeed domineering and blatantly steals weapons related to the Heavenly Questions, but he will not harm innocent people and has some bottom line and principles.
He's only a teenager, yet his martial arts skills have reached such a level, which shows his exceptional talent. It's a pity he's a member of the Star Moon Palace, and a disciple of Chaoyue, so it's almost impossible for him to leave the Star Moon Palace.
Azhen glanced at the tragic state of the Golden Dragon Sword Sect, but in her heart she did not agree with what Chao Xianxue's subordinates had said.
The Golden Dragon Sword Sect was wiped out not entirely because of the Golden Dragon Blade, but probably also to silence witnesses, just like the reason Yan Hangshu was silenced back then.
"Notify those connected to the Golden Dragon Sword Sect and have them handle the aftermath," Chao Xianxue instructed her subordinates. After they acknowledged, she sent a message by carrier pigeon before turning her gaze to Xu Shan and Azhen.
"Master Xu, Miss Xu, farewell."
Seeing that Chao Xianxue had already notified those related to the Golden Dragon Sword Sect, Xu Shan and Azhen decided not to linger. Yi Xiaolan and Shen Linsu's wedding was approaching, and further delay would be unwise. Xu Shan believed they should bring their eldest disciple home as soon as possible. (End of Chapter)
