Chapter 1374 New Life
"Those words were indeed mine, but for that, someone wanted to kill me?"
"You are so heartless!"
Upon hearing this, Sikong Lanchun was also stunned.
Sikong Lanchun looked at her friend, her eyes widening, "This person couldn't possibly be Lie Changsheng, the one you told me about, right?"
"Huh? Then your father is so young!"
In Sikong Lanchun's mind, if the person before her was indeed the Lie Changsheng her friend had always spoken of, then the person Lie Changsheng followed would naturally be the Flying Cloud Martial Emperor of the Flying Cloud Dynasty.
Fu Shuyun's face darkened, "Stop, stop, stop! What is all this nonsense!"
Fu Shuyun first said to Lie Changsheng, "First, I didn't want anyone to kill you."
"Second, this is my friend from the academy, Sikong Lanchun of the Sikong family. I'm here to find my aunt. What are you doing here?"
"Also, how did you offend my friend!"
Lie Changsheng saw that Sikong Lanchun had put away her weapon and breathed a sigh of relief.
So Sikong Lanchun was from the academy, no wonder that sword strike just now was so swift.
Seeing someone approaching in the distance, Lie Changsheng knew that the commotion they had just made had alerted the patrolling sentries. He waved to one of the approaching figures and said, "Brother Ji, I'll treat you to a drink another day."
This dispersed the surrounding sentries.
Then Lie Changsheng explained to the two, "The National Preceptor is conversing with... an Exalted One. It's best if you two don't disturb them for now."
"As for offending Miss Sikong Lanchun, you can't just say such things."
"Shouldn't the cause of that incident be asked of Miss Sikong Lanchun?"
Seeing that the blame was being shifted to her, Sikong Lanchun snorted coldly and explained to her friend, "It's what I just told you. My Flying Tiger Beast suddenly went berserk, but it didn't hurt them. However, they not only suppressed the Flying Tiger Beast but also pinned me down!"
Sikong Lanchun felt ashamed and indignant just thinking about it. If this matter were to reach the Sikong family, she didn't know how many people would secretly mock her.
At that time, Sikong Lanchun also noticed something. The person who had suppressed her before was likely not her friend's father, but the Exalted One that Lie Changsheng mentioned.
An Exalted One meant the Nascent Soul stage!
Having figured everything out, Fu Shuyun nodded slowly, "So that's how it is... I want to see who this Exalted One is!"
"Could it be my aunt's old friend from Cang Xuan Academy?"
As Fu Shuyun spoke, she led the way inside.
Fu Shuyun had a special status. Although she didn't live here permanently, she was considered the young mistress of this courtyard, so she naturally stood respectfully to the side, not daring to say a word.
After a moment of thought, Lie Changsheng quickly followed Fu Shuyun's steps, staying behind her, and said in a low voice, "Regarding the arranged marriage, you need to listen to my explanation."
"The Lie family is no longer under my control. I don't know what your father said to my father. You have to believe me, I am also innocent!"
Fu Shuyun rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "I won't listen, I won't listen, it's so annoying!"
Sikong Lanchun, standing beside them, also noticed something amiss.
Although Sikong Lanchun was still a bit angry with Lie Changsheng, she smiled and said, "If you truly like my Shu Yun, then you still have to work harder. The Eighth Layer of the Core Formation stage might be considered decent in the Flying Cloud Dynasty, but within the academy, it's not top-tier."
"Among those who pursue Shu Yun in the academy, some have already reached the Ninth Layer of the Core Formation stage."
Sikong Lanchun didn't want to discourage Lie Changsheng, but that was the reality.
The Flying Cloud Dynasty was just a small dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that she and Fu Shuyun got along so well and could have fun together, she wouldn't even have come to this small dynasty.
Even Lie Changsheng's talent, when placed in the academy, could be considered excellent, but not the very best.
Sikong Lanchun wasn't looking down on Lie Changsheng, she was merely stating facts.
Lie Changsheng might not be old among cultivators, but compared to those in the academy, he could be considered old.
Upon hearing this, Lie Changsheng fell silent.
The gap between the seventh and ninth layers... was indeed not ordinary.
However, Fu Shuyun, who was walking ahead, stopped. She turned and looked at Lie Changsheng in shock, her mouth agape, unable to speak for a long time.
Seventh layer?
Sikong Lanchun just said the seventh layer, right!
After Lie Changsheng broke through to the fifth layer, his father personally sent him to guard the Fallen Immortal Town.
How many months has it been since then?
He had broken through two more levels?
"When did you break through?" Fu Shuyun asked after a long period of contemplation, finally managing to ask this question.
Lie Changsheng gave a dry laugh, "After going to Fallen Immortal Town, I had a few fights with some guys, and that's where I broke through to the sixth layer. As for breaking through to the seventh layer, it was thanks to Exalted One Chen Yang."
As they spoke, they had already reached the outer courtyard.
All three of them could feel a powerful mental barrier, clearly indicating that the people inside did not want others to know what was happening.
Fu Shuyun had already learned from the two that this Exalted One, who was possibly her aunt's friend, was a man!
The two of them were alone, and there was a barrier. Such actions... even though it was for healing, it still shocked Fu Shuyun.
Because Chen Yang was in the Nascent Soul stage and with the help of the Heavenly Physician's Art, he quickly helped Fu Xueqin repair her hidden ailments.
"This repair is only superficial for now, but it's fine for daily cultivation."
"When you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the power of heaven and earth will naturally reshape your mental energy, and then you won't have to worry about it at all."
Chen Yang had experienced the feeling of mental energy reshaping, and it could be described in four words: like a new life.
Fu Xueqin weakly put on her outer clothes, wiping the sweat from her flushed forehead.
Although it was called a repair, the pain during the process was even more intense than when she was injured.
And it was a continuous pain. If it were someone else with less willpower, they would have fainted.
Fu Xueqin exhaled a breath of stale air, her body quickly recovered, and she slowly stood up, saying, "Chen Yang, thank you. You gave me a new life."
Although there were still minor issues with her mental energy, as Chen Yang had said, her cultivation was not affected at all.
As for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage... Fu Xueqin had never even considered it.
Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage wasn't something that could be done just like that. Her own twin brother, who had better talent than her, hadn't dared to take that step for so long!
Chen Yang waved his hand dismissively, saying that he had heard such words so many times that they had become commonplace.
Besides, Fu Xueqin had to take him to Cang Xuan Academy, so Chen Yang felt it was fine to work a little harder. "That's right, calling me Exalted One sounds so awkward."
As the two emerged from the room, they immediately met the gaze of the three people.
Fu Shuyun saw that her aunt's clothes seemed to have been put on hastily, and she immediately covered her eyes, reciting, "I didn't see anything, Auntie, don't worry, I won't tell my father!"
