Chapter 275 Who is Yu Xian?
by MachineSamurai9124“Grandmother is fine!”
Fu Minyi breathed a sigh of relief and then looked up to meet the gaze of Old Woman Tong.
Old Woman Tong was awake!
“Grandmother, you’re awake? How do you feel?”
Fu Minyi, seeing Old Woman Tong awake, immediately asked with surprise.
The other three women heard this and immediately gathered around, chattering away and asking how Grandmother was doing.
Old Woman Tong was annoyed by the questions, raising a hand to stop the few women. Then she saw that the hand she raised was that of an adult, and she was instantly startled. She sat up abruptly, looked at her hand, threw off the blanket, and saw her own body… She had turned back into an adult!
“Mei Jian, bring the bronze mirror here.”
Old Woman Tong urgently ordered Mei Jian.
“Yes, Grandmother.”
Mei Jian turned to find the bronze mirror. When she had first seen Old Woman Tong, she had been even more shocked than Old Woman Tong.
Old Woman Tong looked again at the shreds hanging on her body, realizing these were the clothes she had been wearing originally. This meant she had been in the form of a child before, but now she was an adult.
Had she succeeded in reversing it? But it didn’t feel like it.
Just then, Mei Jian had already brought the bronze mirror.
Old Woman Tong took the bronze mirror and placed it in front of her. The mirror immediately showed her current appearance.
Her face was exquisitely crafted like jade, her skin fair and translucent. Her eyes were like deep, black obsidian in a cold pool, profound and bright, revealing maturity and stubbornness; her nose was high-bridged, her lips like roses… She had returned to the appearance of someone in her twenties.
Old Woman Tong reached out to touch her face. This face was both familiar and strange, because it was too distant.
“Did something happen while I was unconscious?”
At this moment, Old Woman Tong could already feel the changes in her body. That was why she was certain she hadn’t succeeded in reversing it, but that someone had intervened to help her!
But who could it be?
“Young Master Yu saved Grandmother!”
Ju Jian was the first to speak. Mainly because she was especially grateful to Yu Xian at this moment, so when Old Woman Tong asked, it blurted out subconsciously.
“Young Master Yu?”
Old Woman Tong’s voice instantly turned cold.
Young Master meant a male! A man had saved her!
Old Woman Tong looked down at her clothes again, and her face instantly darkened.
The air pressure in the room instantly became low, and the four women dared not even take a breath.
Ju Jian instantly realized she might have said the wrong thing, quickly lowered her head, and dared not look at Old Woman Tong again.
“You all go prepare water, Grandmother needs to rinse.
Then prepare a set of suitable clothes to bring over.”
Seeing that the four women dared not utter another sound, Old Woman Tong did not continue to question them, but instead gave orders. She looked so disheveled in this state that she couldn’t bear to look at herself.
Everything would wait until she had tidied herself up.
“Yes!”
The four women simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief and then all retreated.
After all the others had left, Old Woman Tong got off the bed. Her graceful and full figure made Old Woman Tong herself very satisfied. She couldn’t help but look left and right, raise her hands and feet, and seriously admire herself.
Perfect!
Her admiration only ended when Mei Jian came to say the hot water was ready for her to rinse.
Only after Old Woman Tong had tidied everything up did she summon Fu Minyi to inquire about recent events.
Only then did she learn that the people of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands dared to rebel. She also learned that Yu Xian had resolved the crisis in Lingjiu Palace and saved her.
She had no impression of the name Yu Xian. Moreover, she heard that Yu Xian also knew the Life and Death Talisman, and Yu Xian’s Life and Death Talisman did not require preparing water.
This aroused Old Woman Tong’s curiosity.
“Who is Yu Xian?”
Old Woman Tong asked.
“A young man who appeared in the last two years, from Beyond the Heavens, known as the Sword Devil.”
Fu Minyi had only inquired about Yu Xian later on. However, there were few rumors about Yu Xian in the Jianghu.
On the contrary, Beyond the Heavens had recently gained prominence; the Money Gang had been destroyed by Beyond the Heavens.
“Sword Devil? How does he know the Life and Death Talisman?”
Old Woman Tong asked again.
Fu Minyi shook her head; she didn’t know either.
Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju also shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know. Lan Jian had returned after escorting Yu Xian back.
The Women said they didn’t understand Yu Xian, but he was clearly not simple.
“Did he say why he came to our Lingjiu Palace?”
Old Woman Tong asked again.
The four of Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju immediately lowered their heads, blushing, and remained silent.
Old Woman Tong’s gaze could only fall upon Fu Minyi.
“Young Master Yu said he wanted to ask Grandmother to give him the sisters Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju.”
Fu Minyi honestly confessed.
With a “Bang!” sound, Old Woman Tong heavily slapped the armrest, and her gaze lingered on the four bowing young women.
“You’ve met him before?”
Old Woman Tong continued to inquire.
The four of Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju were startled by the sound and immediately knelt down.
“No, we haven’t met him. We don’t know how Young Master Yu knew of us either.”
The four women quickly explained.
Old Woman Tong’s face was grim, and she did not ask further. She had taken in the four women; they had grown up in Lingjiu Palace and rarely interacted with outsiders, let alone men.
That made Yu Xian very suspicious.
“Minyi, go bring Yu Xian here to see this Grandmother!”
Since he was suspicious, she had to see him. Moreover, they said Yu Xian saved her; didn’t that mean Yu Xian saw all of her while saving her?
Old Woman Tong clenched her fists tightly, but quickly relaxed them.
Fu Minyi wanted to say something, but ultimately did not, and went to call someone instead.
“Young Master, Old Woman Tong is awake and wishes to see you.”
Fu Minyi arrived at Yu Xian’s residence and said respectfully.
“If your Old Woman Tong is awake, shouldn’t she come to see me? After all, I saved your Lingjiu Palace and your Venerable Mistress, didn’t I?”
Yu Xian asked Fu Minyi with a smile, showing no intention of going.
Although Fu Minyi felt in her heart that this was the case, she understood Old Woman Tong’s temperament better; even though Yu Xian saved her, Old Woman Tong would not humble herself.
“Young Master, Old Woman Tong, that respected elder…”
“If she wants to see me, she can come herself. This Young Master is tired.”
Yu Xian cut Fu Minyi off and issued an order to leave.
“Young Master…”
Fu Minyi still wanted to persuade him.
However, Yu Xian had already turned and returned to his room.
Others might fear the Child of Tianshan Mountains, but he did not. Due to her injury, Old Woman Tong’s cultivation had always been stuck at the Peak Great Grandmaster Realm. Of course, she would likely soon achieve the Breakthrough to the Land Immortal Realm, but even if she did, she would not be his match.
After signing in and the Fusion of Cultivation Techniques, he had already reached the Middle Stage of the Land Immortal Realm. Advancing one small Realm in the Land Immortal Realm required much more accumulation and time; the Breakthrough was much harder than in other Realms.
And precisely because it was difficult, even a small Realm represented an insurmountable chasm. This was also the reason for the large gap between him and Zhang Sanfeng.
“What great audacity, daring to make Grandmother come to see him personally!”
After returning to his room, Yu Xian neither returned to the Small World nor rested; instead, he waited quietly.
As expected, it wasn’t long before Old Woman Tong’s voice was heard.
A slight smile played on Yu Xian’s lips. If he didn’t go to see Old Woman Tong, she would definitely be too angry not to come find him herself, so he waited in his room, waiting for the rabbit.
