Sword of the Nine Heavens, the Fall of the Gods

"How could this be?"

Looking at the falling bamboo tube fragments, Hu Laoer's face turned pale and his body froze there involuntarily.

After a long while, he gradually regained his senses, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead involuntarily.

"Sir, your destiny is hidden in the heavens. You are not an ordinary person. Your destiny is beyond the reach of this old man. I overestimated my abilities just now."

The sudden shattering of the bamboo tube stunned Supreme Jade for a moment. He blinked his eyes, his face full of confusion.

"Mr. Hu, you are making fun of me. I am just an ordinary person. I cannot bring peace to the country with my literary skills, nor can I stabilize the country with my military skills."

"Besides, you have lost your memory of the past and don't even know where you came from. What's so unusual about this?"

Hu Laoer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was about to speak when suddenly a silver bell-like laughter came over.

"Dad, you have a distinguished guest, but you don't even introduce him to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful and graceful woman, holding a spotted puppy in her arms, walked over with light steps.

The woman had an oval face, her eyes were like a pool of autumn water, shimmering with light, her eyebrows were curved like a crescent moon, her cheeks were fair, and her skin was whiter than snow.

The breeze blew by, and her clothes fluttered, like a fairy descending to earth.

It was Hu Laoer’s beloved daughter Yingying.

Although Yingying was talking to Hu Laoer, her lively eyes glanced at Supreme Jade with curiosity and joy in them.

Hu Lao Er stroked his beard, frowned slightly, and said in feigned anger:

"You crazy girl, you still remember to come back? You went out to make trouble behind my back again!"

Yingying pouted, "Daddy, you went out by yourself without taking your daughter with you. I was bored at home alone, so I went to my eldest sister's house. My eldest sister is getting married in a few days, so she asked me to tell you to invite you to the wedding."

Hu Laoer snorted, his face full of resentment.

"I don't know what your eldest sister is thinking. She wants to be someone else's concubine. Although the Bull Demon King has great magical powers, he is a demon king of his time."

"But he already has Princess Iron Fan, and Princess Iron Fan is not someone you can easily mess with. I think it's better not to attend the wedding banquet."

"Daddy, you can't say that about my sister?"

Yingying was somewhat helpless: "Dad, ever since my uncle passed away, the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord has been coveting Jile Mountain and wants to take it for himself."

"You, me, and my elder sister are no match for that demon king. In order to protect this family business, my elder sister can only find a backer."

Hu Lao Er sighed, shook his head and said, "That Hundred Eyes Demon King is indeed powerful. Last time I fought him at Jilei Mountain, I almost fell into his trap. Fortunately, the Bull Demon King came."

"Alas! It's your uncle's fault that he passed away too early. Otherwise, he and I would have joined forces and there would be no need for outsiders to interfere."

Yingying glanced at Supreme Jade with a pair of autumn-water-like eyes, then turned to Hu Laoer and said:

"Dad, don't mention these sad things. The distinguished guests have arrived. Please introduce them to your daughter!"

Only then did Hu Laoer laugh at Supreme Jade, with a hint of pride in his words.

"I just spoke a few more words to my daughter, and I neglected the Supreme Young Master. Please forgive me."

"Let me introduce you. This is my little girl, Yingying. She lost her mother when she was young and has been living with me ever since."

"So I dote on her a little. She has been naughty since she was little, and I can't control her when she grows up. My Lord, please don't laugh at me."

After hearing her father's introduction, Yingying blushed and stamped her feet lightly.

"Dad, you are exposing my shortcomings in front of the guests again."

Zhizun Yu smiled slightly and bowed to Yingying.

"My name is Supreme Jade, nice to meet Miss Yingying."

Yingying lowered her head, her face becoming even redder, and she bowed gently, her sound as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"My little girl Yingying greets the Supreme Master."

Hu Lao Er smiled and said, "Daughter, it turns out that you are shy sometimes!"

Yingying said coquettishly: "Daddy, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go prepare the meal!"

Hu Lao Er was slightly stunned: "What's the wind blowing today? My precious daughter wants to cook for herself?"

Yingying covered her mouth and said, "We have distinguished guests coming today, and I want to show off my skills. I want to let the Supreme Master know that I am not just a naughty person."

After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Hu Lao Er, pursed his lips and ran to the back hall.

Watching his daughter's disappearing back, Hu Laoer was secretly happy.

It seems that this precious daughter finally has someone she likes.

My daughter is already eighteen, and it is time to get married. I have looked for many young men for her before, but she didn't like any of them.

The young man in front of me is handsome and elegant, no wonder my daughter likes him.

However, Hu Laoer also felt a little uneasy.

The identity of Supreme Jade remains a mystery, and his appearance seems to bring some ominous omen.

Thinking back to when he had told fortunes for Supreme Jade and encountered divine punishment, he became even more worried.

But seeing the light in his daughter's eyes, he decided that no matter what, they should give each other a chance, at least to find out his true identity.

"Sir Supreme, you have been away for so long, your family must be worried. May I ask if you have a wife, children and elderly relatives at home?" Hu Lao Er asked tentatively.

Zhizun Yu pondered for a moment, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"Uncle Hu, to be honest, I really can't remember the situation at home."

Hu Lao Er patted his forehead and said self-deprecatingly: "Oh, I am really old and confused. I even forgot that the young master had lost his memory."

Then, he put on a kind face and said sincerely:

"Sir Supreme, since we have met by chance, you can stay here with peace of mind. We will do our best to help you regain your memory and find your family."

After hearing this, Supreme Jade felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Looking around, every brick and tile here felt inexplicably intimate.
