Immortal Clan: My cultivation is the sum of my family's

On this day.

imperial capital.

In the back garden of Zhennan Palace.

The newly appointed Prince of Zhennan, Ji Yuan, took a break from his busy schedule to stroll in the back garden of the palace with Princess Duan Jinwen.

Flowers are in clusters of various colors, and the air is filled with various rich floral fragrances.

The sun is shining and the weather is pleasant.

In front of the two of them, three young children were chasing colorful butterflies under the careful protection of more than a dozen maids, and their hearty smiles could be heard from time to time.

"My dear husband, I told you that compared to my two brothers, you are the most suitable to be the King of Zhennan."

Duan Jinwen said softly with a gentle smile on her face and holding Ji Yuan's right arm.

However, Ji Yuan looked depressed.

He quietly stopped, shook his head and sighed, "Jinwen, to be honest, although I am now the master of the Zhennan Palace on paper, in my opinion, I am just a puppet."

"puppet?"

Duan Jinwen blinked her dark, beautiful eyes and couldn't help but frown and said, "Husband, how did you become a puppet?"

"You should know that your appointment as the King of Zhennan was ordered by a great Jindan stage cultivator. How dare anyone challenge the authority of a great Jindan stage cultivator?"

At that time, she didn't know what kind of person Yang Xiaosheng was.

After they left, she learned from her father Duan Chun that Yang Xiaosheng, who looked young and handsome, like a banished immortal, was actually a legendary great monk in the Jindan stage.

Moreover, Duan Chun, Ge Qing and Teng Wu, three cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, were forced to hand over their souls and blood, and their lives and deaths were in the hands of Yang Xiaosheng.

Because of this, in her opinion, no one should be dissatisfied with Ji Yuan becoming the King of Zhennan.

Ji Yuan looked up into the distance and said thoughtfully, "Jinwen, I think you should know about Yang Xiu and me."

"Back then, Uncle Yang refused to let Yang Xiu marry a poor scholar like me. In the end, he still couldn't stop Yang Xiu from eloping with me. Later, I abandoned the three of them, mother and son. From what I know about Uncle Yang, he's a vindictive person."

"Now, he is even a legendary Jindan-stage cultivator. Even in the entire Yue Kingdom, no one can be his rival. So do you think he will let me off easily? And with just one sentence, he can make me the King of Zhennan, second only to him and above everyone else?"

Hear the words.

Duan Jinwen's expression changed immediately, and he said terribly, "Husband, let's leave this dangerous place, shall we?"

Ji Yuan shook his head and said, "There's no chance. Even if your father agreed to let us flee the imperial capital, I'm afraid that Senior Teng, who left and returned that day, would never agree."

Speaking of it.

Ji Yuan's face showed a resolute expression, and he said earnestly: "Jinwen, I, Ji Yuan, am ultimately a worthless person. Being able to marry into the Zhennan King's family is a great honor. One day, as long as you and your women can survive, I will be willing to die a thousand times."

"Husband..."

Duan Jinwen looked at Ji Yuan and immediately burst into tears, his expression full of reluctance.

Not long after.

Just as Ji Yuan and Duan Jinwen arrived at a garden with lush ancient trees and abundant greenery.

At some point, a graceful figure in pale purple suddenly appeared in the pavilion in front of them.

"Husband, who is that person?"

Duan Jinwen was the first to see the figure in the pavilion and couldn't help but feel suspicious.

This is the back garden of the Zhennan Palace, and even the servants of the palace are not allowed to set foot in it without permission.

However, at this time a strange woman appeared.

Ji Yuan paused, with some guesses in his mind, but he didn't say much. He walked straight forward with Duan Jinwen.

Just as the two of them approached, the graceful figure standing in the pavilion seemed to notice something and turned to look at them.

"Prince Zhennan, long time no see!"

The person who came was Yang Xiu who had returned from Qingyun Sect.

However, Yang Xiu's skin at this time was fair and tender, without any signs of aging.

She looks even younger than before she eloped with Ji Yuan.

Not only that, due to her cultivation, her whole temperament is extraordinary, just like the mysterious woman above the nine heavens.

"You...you are...Xiu'er!"

Ji Yuan's expression changed again and again, and his eyes were fixed on Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said self-deprecatingly, "It turns out that the famous King of Zhennan still remembers a country woman like me. How rare!"

Speaking of it.

Yang Xiu shifted his gaze to Duan Jinwen, nodded slightly and said, "Now it seems that this daughter of the Zhennan Palace is nothing special. It seems that I was wrong about her."

The words fell.

Ji Yuan showed a look of shame on his face, his eyes began to turn red, and then he fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed heavily to Yang Xiu.

"Xiu'er, all my mistakes are my fault. I was blinded by power and wealth, and that's why I abandoned you three and married into the Zhennan Palace."

Now he seemed to finally understand why Yang Xiaosheng didn't kill him and didn't massacre the entire Zhennan Palace.

He was waiting for Yang Xiu to come and settle things with him.

"Husband..."

Duan Jinwen frowned, glanced at Ji Yuan with heartache, then looked at Yang Xiu with a gloomy face.

"If it were a mortal, nine out of ten would have made the same choice as my husband. I'm sure you know that."

Duan Jinwen's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Xiu, if you want to kill my husband, then please kill me first."

"Who said I came here today to kill him?"

Yang Xiu shook his head slightly and said disapprovingly, "The reason I came here today is just to meet the Prince of Zhennan who once abandoned his wife and children."

"You can rest assured, I won't kill you, nor will I touch a single blade of grass or tree in the Zhennan Palace."

"Xiu'er, you...?"

Ji Yuan heard this, then raised his face which was already stained with bright red blood, his eyes filled with complexity.

Yang Xiu laughed dumbly and said, "Why? Do you think I'm going to kill people?"

Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment and shook his head woodenly.

Yang Xiu exhaled slightly, then said thoughtfully, "I have to admit, before I came here, I did have murderous thoughts."

"However, after seeing you, I no longer want to kill. You, Ji Yuan, abandoned your wife and children. And I, besides you, still have my father and several brothers. My Yang family has long been superior to the Zhennan Palace."

"Of course, I still have Yingying and Liang'er. You can abandon your wife and children, but I can't become the evil person who killed their biological father in their eyes..."

The words stop here.

Yang Xiu turned and looked at the distant sky.

Think for a moment.

She suddenly said, "Ji Yuan, let me ask you a question. Have you ever regretted anything in these years?"

"me……"

Ji Yuan knelt on the ground, feeling as if something was stuck in his throat.

And the next moment.

Yang Xiu waved his sleeves, and a flying sword appeared in front of him.

Then, a rosy glow swirled around him, and he jumped lightly onto the flying sword. With a thought, he rushed straight towards the sky.

A moment.

After watching Yang Xiu leave.

For some unknown reason, Ji Yuan's body shook violently and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Husband..."

Duan Jinwen's face changed drastically and he quickly squatted down to support Ji Yuan.

"Hahahahaha!"

Ji Yuan suddenly raised his head and burst into laughter.

Tears glistened in his eyes as he grinned, "How many times have I sat beneath the flowers and played the flute, with the Milky Way and the red walls in my sight? I thought of Ji Yuan, who read thousands of books, but in the end became a heartless man despised by the world..."

While talking.

After Ji Yuan spat out another mouthful of blood, he fainted.
