Chapter 680 Qi Rising into the Clouds, Unexplained

It's no surprise that things have turned out this chaotic.

Cultivators are inherently difficult to control, let alone the Liang Dynasty, which is currently in a state of flux with winds blowing in from all sides.

In this situation, it's really tough on Old Su.

"Junior Brother Su, when should we enter? Do you have a plan?"

"It's better to do it sooner rather than later."

Su Che sighed, "My two senior brothers, I'll go home first and then come back..."

"Are you going home?"

Jiang Shoucheng seemed to remember something.

"Didn't almost everyone in your family die?"

That's a really unpleasant thing to say.

"Old Jiang, your mouth..."

Li Shouchang frowned: "Junior Brother Su, don't take it to heart."

"fine."

"However, the two of us will accompany you back."

"what?"

Su Che looked at the two of them.

"It's not that I'm arrogant, but it's truly inappropriate. My place is the Changxin Marquis's residence of the Great Liang Dynasty, and my two senior brothers are immortals. Why should they have anything to do with this mortal world..."

"Suitable."

Jiang Shoucheng added, "We'll go and give you a boost, otherwise people will think you're just a figurehead."

"That's right, they'll have to underestimate our Huang Tiandao then."

Su Che didn't know what to say for a moment.

The two senior brothers were trying to support him, so all he could do was silently thank them.

These two were also the type to act on their words. The three of them greeted the old Taoist priest Lu Chuan and headed straight for the Marquis of Changxin's residence.

Li Shouchang and Jiang Shoucheng were even more unambiguous, directly releasing their aura. Both of them had cultivated to the level of Buxu over many years, which naturally caused various changes in the world, rippled the spring water, and alarmed the various lurking dragons and snakes in Jiankang City.

The three of them landed directly on the clouds at the Changxin Marquis's residence. Su Che led the two of them into the residence, where the servants quickly came to greet them.

"My lord, you're finally back! I'll go and report to the mistress of the house right away."

"go quickly."

When his family members came up to greet him, Su Che casually replied, but then suddenly thought of a technical problem.

This Huang Tiandao... does the Daoist sect allow its disciples to get married?

"Junior Brother Su is already married?"

Li Shouchang looked at Su Che with considerable shock.

"You don't already have a child, do you?"

Jiang Shoucheng clapped his hands.

"We came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring any gifts."

"We're not married yet, we're just engaged, engaged."

Su Che quickly explained.

"I knew it! Junior Brother Su doesn't seem like a reliable person at all. Why would he be in such a hurry to get married?"

As Jiang Shoucheng spoke, his aura emanated outwards, revealing his Dao foundation. Immediately, a thirteen-story exquisite pagoda hung high in the sky, releasing countless auspicious energies.

"That's enough, you're scaring people."

Li Shouchang was slightly dissatisfied with Jiang Shoucheng's astonishing method. He also manifested his own Dao foundation, which was a black and white gourd surrounded by auspicious clouds, hanging in the middle of the sky.

The pagoda and the gourd reflected each other, creating a dazzling display of light. People in Jiankang City, unaware of what had happened, looked up at the sky and pointed. Devout men and women knelt on the ground, continuously worshipping.

"Your character is no different."

Jiang Shoucheng retorted, while on the other side, the little fox, dressed in a plain long dress, ran out with a grin.

"No wonder my heart was pounding so hard today. It turns out Archer, you're back. And who are these two distinguished guests?"

The little fox was, after all, a fox raised in the Cloud Recesses, and had seen many so-called masters, so it was naturally able to see the extraordinary nature of Li Shouchang and Jiang Shoucheng.

"Kongzhu, this is Senior Brother Li Shouchang, and Senior Brother Jiang Shoucheng, and these two are..."

"My teacher and the young lady are from the same place."

Jiang Shoucheng said solemnly, "Huang Tiandao, Jiang Shoucheng, greetings."

"Oh, so you are Mo Kongzhu, a disciple of my great-aunt. Greetings to my two senior uncles."

"Ah, look at our girl, she's so good. A few years ago, when she went to the East Sea with her master, we even met your father..."

The little fox greeted him sweetly, which made Li Shouchang wink and Jiang Shoucheng laugh heartily.

Su Che then realized what was happening.

This is not right.

Jiang Shouchang and Li Shouchang were usually his peers, and he had been interacting with them the most since joining the Huangtiandao Sect. However, he overlooked one of the most important things.

Both of them are genuine Bu Xu.

What does "步虚" mean?
It means that one is only a hair's breadth away from becoming a true immortal. By overcoming the tribulations between heaven and earth, one can attain immortality.

These two may seem carefree and jovial, but they've been living for countless years.

“I said Archer.”

Li Shouchang grinned slyly: "You usually call us 'senior brothers' when you're with Uncle Wei, which is normal. But if we were at home, shouldn't you call us 'uncle' like Kongzhu does?"

Su Che knew from these two guys that their visits home were definitely not just to boost his reputation.

“Li Shouchang, this is not nice. Aren’t you bullying Junior Brother Su? There’s a saying that a nun should follow her husband’s wishes. Kongzhu should just call us Senior Brothers like Junior Brother does.”

Jiang Shoucheng was a kind and gentle gentleman: "When I see my father-in-law again, I'll just have him call me 'brother,' and that'll be it."

At this point in their conversation, the two of them hugged each other and laughed heartily again.

"Go and arrange some food, and prepare some Jiankang specialties."

Su Che simply ignored the two of them and instead instructed his subordinates, "Later, set out tea and refreshments in the garden, and I will invite my senior brothers over."

The little fox, however, grinned at the two men with a crooked mouth, showing no sign of annoyance.

Aren't you angry?

Su Che asked the little fox curiously.

"It was just a few jokes, why should I get angry?"

The little fox said, putting her arm around Su Che's arm and pressing her belly against his arm. "What are you always busy with, running around all day?"

"See? We got criticized, didn't we?"

Li Shouchang shook his head and said, "Daughter, you married the wrong person. Our Huangtiandao is poor and isolated, with few men."

"The main problem lies with our master's considerations. It's one thing that he didn't care about the management of the Central Plains, but he was also quite lax in the training of his disciples."

Jiang Shoucheng sighed, "If it were my grandmaster..."

"Shut up." "Senior brother, watch your words, watch your words."

Jiang Shoucheng then launched into a standard tactic of introduction, development, climax, and conclusion, blaming everything on Huang Tiandao, but was immediately stopped by Li Shouchang and Su Che.

"I'll have to go to the alchemy furnace sooner or later."

Li Shouchang clapped his hands, feeling quite regretful.

"By saying that, aren't you implying that Grandmaster's heart is even smaller than a girl's? You also bear some responsibility for that..."

Just then, family members rushed in from outside.

He looked quite anxious.

"what happened?"

Su Che raised an eyebrow.

“A eunuch has come to the palace.”

The family member swallowed hard and said, "We heard that His Majesty heard that a true immortal had descended to the mortal realm, and was preparing to burn incense and fast to invite the immortal..."

"What immortals are there? Junior Brother Su, did you see them?"

Li Shouchang looked around.

"Go and reply to him, saying that we will take action soon and let His Majesty eat pork knuckle as he pleases, and eat whatever he wants."

The family looked at Su Che, and although they didn't say anything, their unspoken message was clearer than words: "Master, are you sure you want to say this?"
"It's better to eat less pork knuckle and more chicken instead."

Jiang Shoucheng added a sentence.

Su Che waved his hand, and the family member, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, hurriedly left.

"If you ask me, your Emperor is quite tolerant, even tolerating a traitor like Junior Brother Su."

The three people and the fox headed towards the garden, chatting idly along the way.

"Don't laugh, girl. Your uncle hasn't had much education."

Jiang Shoucheng shook his head as he spoke.

"Hmm, you've read a lot, tell me about it."

"Human affairs are nothing more than this. In every dynasty, weren't our ancestors all traitors and rebels? If you despise traitors and rebels, go home and burn down the ancestral temple first."

"What you said makes sense."

After turning a few corners, they arrived at Su Che's garden, and Li Shouchang exclaimed in admiration once again.

“Junior Brother Su, people say you are the reincarnation of the Azure Emperor, but I didn’t believe it. After seeing your courtyard today, I believe it.”

Su Che looked at the garden, which was still full of fragrance, and could only smile.

To please the little fox, a ray of warm energy was placed in the yard. Since then, the flowers and plants in the yard have never withered, but instead exude fragrance every day, bearing fruit and blooming at the same time.

It truly allows you to do both without any problems.

"Is there anything wrong with this?"

Su Che genuinely didn't know whether Li Shouchang was joking with him or truly praising him.

After all, in Su Che's view, cultivators should all have a few similar techniques.

"clever."

Jiang Shoucheng added a comment: "Although it is nurtured with yang energy, it is neither too much nor too little. If it were too much, monsters would emerge from your courtyard, Junior Brother Su. If it were too little, there would be no such magnificent scene. This is just right, which is the most rare thing."

"It was just something I did on a whim..."

"If it weren't for the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Pole, who else could possess such miraculous skills?"

After settling down in the pavilion, the little fox ordered his servants to bring up tea and snacks. The group ate and chatted, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Just then, another family member came to deliver a message.

"Lord...Lord Marquis."

"what happened?"

“Outside, there is a ghost messenger who says he is a judge under the command of the capital Huang. His master saw the auspicious aura rising in our house and knew that a true immortal had descended, so he came to offer his congratulations.”

"A true immortal? I've lived here for so long, why hasn't he come to pay homage to me?"

Su Che had no particular feelings of liking or disliking for this City God, as they had only met once.

"This shows you're still not skilled enough. Go back and learn from Uncle Wei, go out and make your way in the world. I guarantee that when you come back, the City God will have to move out overnight."

Li Shouchang laughed heartily.

"Go and tell that ghost messenger, we don't have time."

Jiang Shoucheng gave an order.

Before he could finish speaking, another family member came in from outside, holding a stack of visiting cards.

"And... there's also the Wang clan of Langya, the Xie clan of Chenjun, and the Yu clan of Yingchuan..."

He was still reciting the names of these wealthy families like a menu.

Su Che gave a direct answer.

"They're all gone..."

"My lord, my lord."

Another family member ran in.

"There's a beautiful Taoist nun outside, she says she's a disciple of Yuyang Mountain, her name is Xue..."

"Xue Baizhi?"
