The Second On The Southern Border’s Genius List, My Fiancée?
The evening breeze was slightly cool.
Everflow Sword Sect Outer Sect Great Hall.
Xie Fei and the Old Man stood in the corner.
The Old Man’s voice was full of emotion, his tone carrying a rhyme of sighing at the years.
“Back then, when I was escorting goods, I encountered a Blood Demon and, in a panic, I escorted Lord Zhou and his wife to Xie Family Village.
“If it weren’t for your Father’s righteous acceptance, I’m afraid we would have died on the road long ago due to our severe injuries.”
Wu Dingxiong sighed, a trace of reminiscence flashing in his cloudy eyes.
“In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed, and you, Little Fei, have become an Elder of the Everflow Sword Sect.
“If Doctor Xie knew in the afterlife, he would be able to rest in peace.”
Xie Fei listened quietly, the vague memories in his mind gradually becoming clear.
He squinted his eyes and sized up the old Old Man in front of him, finally recalling the other party’s identity.
Wu Dingxiong, the Chief of the Dingxiong Escort Agency in Yudou City.
Twenty years ago, the Original Body was just over twenty years old, and Wu Dingxiong had escorted two seriously injured people to Xie Family Village.
One of them seemed to be a pregnant woman with a big belly…
Due to not having contact for many years.
In addition, the Original Body also entered the Everflow Sword Sect and was busy with the Sword Pavilion.
The memories from that time slowly faded away.
If it weren’t for Wu Dingxiong’s appearance today, he would have almost completely forgotten about it.
“So it’s Uncle Wu.”
Xie Fei bowed slightly, his tone tinged with gentleness: “Uncle Wu, what’s going on with the marriage you just mentioned?”
He frowned, as there were no clues about this in the Original Body’s memories.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to be single until he was in his forties.
Now that such a thing suddenly popped up, it really made him confused.
Wu Dingxiong waved his hand, signaling him to calm down: “Let’s go, Little Fei, let’s talk outside.
“There are too many people in the Great Hall, and it’s not convenient.”
The two left the Great Hall and arrived at a remote Stone Pavilion in the Sect.
In the night, the shadows of the trees around the Stone Pavilion swayed, and the wind rustled softly, making it particularly quiet.
Wu Dingxiong leaned against the stone pillar and sat down, slowly opening his mouth: “Little Fei, this marriage has to be talked about starting from back then.
“Twenty-three years ago, I took on an escort job, escorting Lord Zhou of Yudou City and his pregnant wife.
“That journey was full of dangers, encountering many assassinations along the way. Fortunately, the brothers of the Escort Agency risked their lives to protect them, and they barely made it through.
“But who knew that a Blood Demon would appear in the end…”
He paused, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes.
“That Blood Demon’s Strength was terrifying, the brothers of the Escort Agency were almost completely killed, and Lord Zhou and his wife were also seriously injured and unconscious.
“I risked my life to escape with them, and after many days of traveling, I finally escaped to Xie Family Village late one night.”
Xie Fei nodded slightly, faintly remembering the shadow of that night.
The Original Body’s Father, Xie Xiang, was an honest and kind Doctor, and the villagers respected him.
That night.
Wu Dingxiong came to the door with two seriously injured people, and the villagers avoided them, but Xie Xiang disregarded the danger and took the three in.
“You can guess what happened after that.”
Wu Dingxiong smiled bitterly: “Your Father tried his best and finally stabilized the injuries of the three of us.
“Lord Zhou was extremely grateful after waking up. Seeing that you were talented at that time, he had an idea and said that he would betroth the daughter in his womb to you.
“I was there at the time and was a witness to this marriage.”
After listening, Xie Fei frowned even tighter.
He rubbed his temples, his tone tinged with absurdity: “Uncle Wu, I’m almost forty-five now.
“You’re telling me now that I have a marriage from more than twenty years ago…”
Speaking of this.
Xie Fei suddenly stopped.
Seeming to have thought of something.
His expression became strange: “Uncle Wu, you’re not here to cancel the engagement, are you?”
If it was true, then this would be too bloody!
Wu Dingxiong glared at him and said with a straight face: “What cancellation? I’m here this time to have you complete the marriage!”
“Wait…”
Xie Fei quickly raised his hand, trying to clear his thoughts: “Uncle Wu, no one has mentioned this matter for more than twenty years, and you’re asking me to marry someone as soon as you arrive?
“Is there some kind of misunderstanding in the middle?”
Wu Dingxiong sighed, a trace of self-blame on his face: “This matter is also my fault.
“Your marriage should have been settled earlier, but in the past twenty years, my Escort Agency has had one accident after another, and it still closed down after struggling to support it.
“I was running around and had no fixed place to live. Lord Zhou’s family also disappeared for many years and there was no news of them.
“Until recently, they returned to Yudou City.
“They found me and mentioned this old matter.”
Looking at Wu Dingxiong, who was already as old as seventy or eighty years old.
It seemed that he had not had a good life these past few years.
After a bout of sighs.
The topic returned to the marriage.
Wu Dingxiong said: “Little Fei, follow me to Yudou City early tomorrow morning.
“After we finish your marriage, I’ll go to the Eastern Wasteland.
“I’ve already made arrangements there and plan to spend my later years in the Eastern Wasteland.”
Xie Fei was silent for a moment and asked, “Uncle Wu, can you first tell me about the situation of that Woman?”
Seeing that Wu Dingxiong didn’t seem to understand, he quickly added: “How has she been recently?
“What is her Strength like?
“Has there been any incident of her Cultivation regressing or a genius becoming trash?”
It was no wonder Xie Fei was overthinking.
It was just that he wanted to know if he had gotten the villain’s script and was about to go to someone’s house tomorrow to cancel the engagement.
Wu Dingxiong shook his head and said with a smile, “How could there be such a thing!
“That Young Lady Zhou is a leader on the Southern Border Heaven’s Chosen Ranking, and has already entered the Golden Core Realm at just over twenty years old.
“According to Lord Zhou, she will soon comprehend the Nascent Soul!”
Xie Fei’s expression became even stranger after hearing this.
He couldn’t help but say: “Uncle Wu, since she’s so outstanding, what virtue or ability do I, an old Man at Qi Refining Level Eight, have to complete the marriage with her?”
This was not self-deprecation, but a fact.
A genius who was about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and an Elder who loafed around in the Everflow Sword Sect, they didn’t seem to match at all.
Which normal person would marry down?
Which normal parents would agree?
Wu Dingxiong waved his hand, his tone firm: “I know what you mean, Little Fei.
“But this matter was brought up by Young Lady Zhou herself, so…”
“So it’s even stranger!” Xie Fei almost blurted out.
He stared at Wu Dingxiong, his mind full of question marks.
“Little Fei, since a Heaven’s Chosen like her is willing, what are you being pretentious about?”
As Wu Dingxiong spoke, he took out an item from his arms and handed it to Xie Fei: “This is the token your Father gave me back then. Take it to the Zhou Family in Yudou City early tomorrow morning.”
Xie Fei took it and looked at it. It was half of an ancient Dragon and Phoenix Jade Bi, with exquisite carvings and a lifelike Dragon shape.
He looked at it back and forth, vaguely remembering it.
When he was a child, the Original Body used it as a toy. It was something passed down from the Xie Family ancestors.
It was originally a pair, but now only the Dragon-shaped half remained.
The Phoenix-shaped half, needless to say, must be in the Zhou Family’s hands.
“Little Fei, don’t blame Uncle for speaking bluntly.”
Wu Dingxiong stood up and patted him on the shoulder.
“That girl has a prominent Identity, extraordinary Strength, and even took the initiative to mention this matter.
“As a Man, you have to go there.
“Whether it succeeds or not, at least this matter will be settled, right?”
Xie Fei was silent for a moment, then nodded, “What Uncle Wu said makes sense.
“In that case, I will take a trip to Yudou City tomorrow.”
He wanted to see what medicine this Young Lady Zhou was selling in her gourd.
“Very good.”
Wu Dingxiong revealed a gratified Smile: “That Zhou Family girl is named Zhou Hongxian, Little Fei, remember clearly, don’t make a joke when the time comes.
“The Zhou Family was a prominent family in Yudou City back then. Although they disappeared for twenty years before returning, some Etiquette is still necessary.”
“Zhou Hongxian?” Xie Fei’s heart skipped a beat.
If he remembered correctly, this name was the second person on the Southern Border Heaven’s Chosen Ranking!
He replied calmly, “Understood, Uncle Wu.”
Wu Dingxiong nodded, turned and left, his back hunched but revealing a trace of relief.
Xie Fei stood there, holding the half of the jade Bi, his brow furrowed.
“If it’s really that Zhou Hongxian on the Heaven’s Chosen Ranking.
“Then this trip to Yudou City might be a surprise.”
To be able to be on the Southern Border Heaven’s Chosen Ranking.
They must all be Dragon Among Men level.
Looking at it this way.
It might be someone worth investing in!
……
Yudou City.
Zhou Family Ancestral Residence.
A beautiful Woman was sitting cross-legged in a quiet room.
She was wearing a light purple casual dress, and her graceful figure was fully displayed even in this situation.
Her figure was slender but not lacking in Strength, her waist was soft, her shoulders were straight, and her curves were smooth as a painting, exuding an extraordinary aura.
However, the most striking thing was not her figure, but her deep eyes.
Bright as stars.
But with a trace of vicissitudes and indifference that did not match her age, as if she had experienced endless years.
This Woman was Zhou Hongxian!
The genius female cultivator who was born out of nowhere and ranked second on the Southern Border Heaven’s Chosen Ranking.
But what was unknown was…
Zhou Hongxian was not an ordinary Heaven’s Chosen, but a peerless Expert who had been reborn from 200,000 years later.
“Breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm should only be a matter of time.”
Zhou Hongxian muttered softly, her voice clear and solemn.
She slowly opened her eyes, her Gaze passing through the window lattice, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky.
“The Mystic Continent has not yet experienced the Spiritual Tide, otherwise my Cultivation would be even faster.
“However, even though I am about to step into the Nascent Soul Realm, now is not the Time for Seclusion.”
She stood up, her clothes fluttered lightly, and she walked calmly.
Walking to the window, she stared at the brightly lit Yudou City in the distance for a while.
“I think tomorrow will be the day that Man arrives.”
In her mind, a Man’s figure gradually emerged.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and memories flooded in like a tide.
“In the previous life, I had a Dao Companion relationship with that Xie Fei.
“But later, due to a great Opportunity, my Cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, gradually leaving him behind…”
Time was too long ago, and Zhou Hongxian needed to sort it out carefully.
She closed her eyes and recalled carefully: “Xie Fei’s Natural Endowment is mediocre, and his Cultivation is only at Qi Refining Level One.
“Calculating the Time, there are still about five hundred years before the Everflow Sword Sect is destroyed.
“And in these five hundred years.
“Geniuses emerge in the Mystic Continent, a great era of contention!
“In the Southern Border alone, many Experts have emerged.”
She recalled those names one by one: “Yuan Li, who came from a Servant background, Xiao Yan, who was humiliated by his fiancée, and Long Qiye and Lin Fan of the Everflow Sword Sect…
“In the previous life, these people were all Heaven’s Chosen who stood proudly in Heaven and Earth.
“And the destruction of the Everflow Sword Sect was caused by Xiao Yan alone.
“Huh? Xie Fei seems to be an Elder in the Everflow Sword Sect…
“It seems that I have to remind him tomorrow, it is best to leave the Everflow Sword Sect to avoid being involved in that disaster.”
Just as she was thinking deeply.
A burst of light footsteps came from outside the quiet room, and then a Maid’s voice sounded: “Young Miss.
“The Yuan Family in the City heard that you are not yet married, and their Young Master brought many Treasures to propose marriage to Lord Zhou.
“Lord Zhou’s intention is to have you go over.”
Zhou Hongxian frowned upon hearing this.
“Yuan Family?”
These two words evoked her long-standing Memory.
In the previous life, Yuan Wenbing, the Young Master of the Yuan Family, came to propose marriage, and she refused without hesitation.
As a result, the other party held a grudge and targeted the Zhou Family everywhere, even causing a lot of trouble.
Later.
She obtained an Opportunity and relied on the Profound Skill to solve that Yuan Wenbing.
As for the Yuan Family, because Yuan Li and Yuan Yu two geniuses emerged, she did not completely erase them.
“Since I have been reborn, the regrets of the previous life should be made up for.”
Zhou Hongxian took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes.
“Since this Yuan Wenbing has come to my door, let’s solve him as soon as possible.”
She pushed the door open and walked towards the Zhou Family Main Hall.
……
Inside the Zhou Family Main Hall, the lights were bright, the aroma of tea was lingering, and several people were sitting opposite each other.
The one in the lead was Zhou Zhengling, the head of the Zhou Family, known as “Lord Zhou.”
He was wearing a green robe, and a powerful spiritual pressure faintly emanated from his body.
Disappeared for twenty years.
After returning.
This Lord Zhou was no longer a mortal.
His Aura was extremely cold, and anyone who looked at him knew that he was an Expert!
Sitting on the left below was a young Man, about twenty-seven or eight years old, wearing brocade clothes, with a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows.
He was Yuan Wenbing.
The Yuan Family was now known as the number one family in Yudou City.
The reason was nothing else.
It was because there was a true disciple Young Miss of the Exquisite Holy Land in the family.
Logically speaking.
A mere returning Zhou Family was not enough to enter the Yuan Family’s eyes.
But Zhou Hongxian was different!
This was a Heaven’s Chosen ranked second on the Southern Border Heaven’s Chosen Ranking.
A super genius who possessed Golden Core Level Eight Cultivation!
In this case.
Many people in Yudou City had already set their sights on the Zhou Family’s ship.
Yuan Wenbing, relying on the Yuan Family, was naturally the first to visit.
The Servant added tea again.
In the midst of the overflowing aroma of tea.
Yuan Wenbing picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Then he said with a Smile: “Lord Zhou, I have come with sincerity this time. I wonder how you have considered it?
“I have a sincere heart for your daughter, and I hope you will understand.”
The table was filled with gift boxes, Spirit Stone, Magical Treasure, and Pill were dazzling, obviously he had spent a lot of money.
Zhou Zhengling put down the teacup, with a warm Smile on his face: “Young Master Yuan, I understand your intentions.
“It’s just that my daughter already has someone she admires and has no plans to find a Dao Companion from outside for the Time being.
“As a Father, I can’t force my daughter, don’t you think?”
“Someone she admires?” Yuan Wenbing was stunned, his Smile frozen on his face.
He frowned and said, “Which family’s Man is it? Could it be the Nie Family?”
In Yudou City, the Nie Family’s power was second only to the Yuan Family.
Therefore, he thought of this one first.
Zhou Zhengling shook his head: “It’s not. The person my daughter admires is an Elder of the Everflow Sword Sect.”
“Everflow Sword Sect?”
Yuan Wenbing was stunned when he heard this, and then couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Lord Zhou must be confused?
“That Everflow Sword Sect is just a third-rate Sect, how can it be compared to my Yuan Family?
“You must know that behind our Yuan Family stands the number one Holy Land in the Southern Border ━ Exquisite!”
His tone was full of Contempt, obviously not taking the Everflow Sword Sect seriously.
Zhou Zhengling nodded, still not impatient: “Who doesn’t know the name of the Exquisite Holy Land?
“It’s just that I can’t make the decision on this matter, please forgive me, Young Master Yuan.”
Yuan Wenbing’s face suddenly darkened.
He originally thought that this was just Zhou Zhengling’s excuse, but he didn’t expect the other party to directly point out the name of the Everflow Sword Sect.
Looking at it this way.
This matter was mostly true!
He didn’t expect that he, the dignified Young Master of the Yuan Family, would be taken advantage of by a small character from a third-rate Sect.
But he couldn’t swallow this breath if he gave up like this.
Immediately.
He sneered: “Lord Zhou, the Everflow Sword Sect is thousands of miles away from Yudou City, you have to think clearly.
“How can such a long distance protect the Zhou Family?
“If something unexpected happens to the Zhou Family in Yudou City, how can we talk about revitalization?
“Lord Zhou, what do you say?”
Threat.
A naked threat!
