My Wife Divorced me At the Start but I Gained a Billionfold Repayment System

Chapter 53: Hesitation? Confidence!

“Fifth Martial Uncle, so does that mean Fu Qitian has now become a Saint Emperor?”

After leaving Tianji Pavilion, Feng Qingyu’s expression was rather unsightly as she asked on the way back to Qingfeng Sacred Land. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Wu Wuji’s expression was even uglier, but he still shook his head.

“Not necessarily. Diviner Xue already said earlier that Fu Qitian is currently at Myriad Dao Academy. It is possible that Fu Qitian has joined Myriad Dao Academy.”

“You must understand that if a Saint Emperor is nearby during a deduction, that Saint Emperor can sense the calculation. It is possible that the Saint Emperors of Myriad Dao Academy blocked it for Fu Qitian.”

“That should be the case.”

Feng Qingyu consoled herself as well.

If Fu Qitian had truly broken through to the Saint Emperor Realm, then it would become even more difficult for her to find Lu Xunxian and the others.

Besides, four years ago, Fu Qitian had only been at the Peak of the Saint King Realm. How could he possibly not only recover from his injuries within a mere four years, but also break through to the Saint Emperor Realm?

So everything should be just as Fifth Martial Uncle had said.

“Then, Martial Uncle, what should we do now?”

“Let us return first and ask your master for his opinion.”

Wu Wuji shook his head. This matter not only involved a Saint Emperor, but even involved Myriad Dao Academy. It was no longer something he could interfere in.

Seeing that, Feng Qingyu could only agree, and the two of them hurried back toward Qingfeng Sacred Land.

The next day, the two of them finally returned to Qingfeng Sacred Land and arrived before Lin Changkong’s Cave Dwelling.

“Master, your disciple greets you.”

Feng Qingyu cupped her hands as Lin Changkong’s calm voice came from inside the Cave Dwelling.

“Come in.”

Only then did Wu Wuji follow Feng Qingyu into the Cave Dwelling. The moment he saw Lin Changkong, he noticed something unusual about him and said in surprise,

“Old Lin, you passed the Decay of Spirit?”

“Yes. I passed the Decay of Spirit by luck. I am now facing the Decay of Soul.”

Lin Changkong spoke slowly.

But he did not continue speaking on that matter. Instead, he looked at Feng Qingyu and asked,

“Well? Have you learned Fu Qitian’s current location?”

But after seeing the expressions on Wu Wuji and Feng Qingyu’s faces, Lin Changkong felt a wave of unease rise in his heart. Soon afterward, he learned from the two of them what had happened inside Tianji Pavilion.

“To think something like this would happen?”

Lin Changkong’s expression darkened. Clearly, he had never expected such a turn of events.

“So, Old Lin, do you think Fu Qitian broke through to the Saint Emperor Realm, or did he join Myriad Dao Academy?”

“In just four short years, recovering from the Peak of the Saint King Realm to the Saint Monarch Realm and then even breaking through to the Saint Emperor Realm? That is absolutely impossible. He most likely joined Myriad Dao Academy.”

Lin Changkong rejected Wu Wuji’s guess without the slightest hesitation and spoke with a dark expression.

Such a thing had never been heard of even throughout the long history of Tiansheng Continent. Therefore, only the latter possibility was the most likely.

“Then if Fu Qitian has joined Myriad Dao Academy, are we still going to continue moving against him? You must know that Myriad Dao Academy is no weaker than our Qingfeng Sacred Land.”

Wu Wuji was beginning to retreat a little. After all, that was Myriad Dao Academy, a force evenly matched with Qingfeng Sacred Land.

At the side, Feng Qingyu was getting anxious. This matter concerned her own past, so how could she not be anxious?

Had she known things would turn out this way, she should have been more decisive back in Conglin Village and acted directly.

Unfortunately, there was no such thing as “if only.”

“It doesn't matter. Didn't Xu Ruoshan come some time ago to ask Qingyu to protect their Myriad Dao Academy in the future?”

“I imagine that if Qingyu goes to them now, Xu Ruoshan will not refuse to hand Fu Qitian over.”

Lin Changkong’s expression remained calm and composed as he spoke slowly.

As soon as he said that, Wu Wuji and Feng Qingyu finally remembered what had happened earlier, and confidence immediately rose in their eyes.

That was right. Even someone as powerful as Xu Ruoshan, at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, had personally come to build good relations with Feng Qingyu. For the sake of a mere Fu Qitian, Xu Ruoshan would surely know which mattered more.

“Very well. Since that is the case, then I will trouble you, Old Fifth, to take Qingyu to Myriad Dao Academy.”

But at that moment, Wu Wuji wore a stern expression as he looked at Lin Changkong and said,

“If you want me to take Feng Qingyu to Myriad Dao Academy, that is naturally fine, but first return my one thousand cubic meters of Low-Grade Spirit Liquid!”

Hearing that, Lin Changkong could not help widening his eyes. He soon learned the entire course of events from Feng Qingyu.

“Sigh, so be it. You may take this Low-Grade Spirit Liquid.”

This matter had nothing to do with Wu Wuji in the first place, so naturally Wu Wuji could not be the one to bear the loss of that Low-Grade Spirit Liquid.

After taking the Storage Ring from Lin Changkong’s hand, Wu Wuji finally showed a satisfied expression and set off toward Myriad Dao Academy with Feng Qingyu.

After they had left, Lin Changkong let out a sigh, his expression turning grave.

Naturally, he knew that two years ago, a mighty Saint Monarch expert at Myriad Dao Academy had advanced to the Saint Emperor Realm. But he did not believe that Fu Qitian could recover from the Peak of the Saint King Realm to the Peak of the Saint Monarch Realm and then break through to the Saint Emperor Realm in a mere four years.

If Fu Qitian had truly managed to do that, would that not make his own five thousand years trapped at the Peak of the Saint Monarch Realm seem utterly ridiculous?

For now, he could only hope that it had not been Fu Qitian who broke through to the Saint Emperor Realm.

However, even if it really was Fu Qitian who had broken through to the Saint Emperor Realm, Xu Ruoshan, who valued Feng Qingyu so highly, would surely still hand Fu Qitian over for Feng Qingyu to deal with.

Lin Changkong thought to himself.

At this time, two more days had already passed. Luo Qianxue came almost every day to play with Xiaoyao and Qingyun, and before long, she had become very close to the two children.

Luo Qianxue felt that her relationship with them had already grown intimate enough, so she cautiously asked,

“Xiaoyao, Qingyun, where is your mother? Why have I never seen her?”

As soon as Luo Qianxue spoke, the cheerful little faces of Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun immediately puffed up in displeasure.

Seeing that, Luo Qianxue hurriedly said,

“All right, all right, Sister Qianxue will not ask anymore.”

But Lu Xiaoyao shook his head, a trace of coldness appearing on his face.

“That woman abandoned her husband and children and left us for Qingfeng Sacred Land back when we were too young to remember anything.”

As for what had happened back then, Lu Xunxian had not concealed anything when Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun repeatedly asked him about it. He had told them everything.

So now, the only thing left in Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun’s hearts toward Feng Qingyu was disgust. Beyond that, there was no emotion at all.

Hearing that, Luo Qianxue stepped forward with a heart full of pity and hugged the two little ones.

“All right, all right, let us not mention her anymore. From now on, Sister Qianxue will always stay by your side.”

“Mhm.”

Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun hugged Luo Qianxue back, burying their faces against her shoulder.

For some reason, Luo Qianxue felt a trace of dampness there.

Not far away, Lu Xunxian was moved as he watched this scene. It had already been a very long time since he had seen the two children play so happily.

“All right, it is time to eat.”

Lu Xunxian shook his head, then looked toward the three of them in the distance.

Hearing that, Luo Qianxue subconsciously wanted to leave, because Lu Xunxian had not asked her to stay for a meal over the past few days.

But to her surprise, the two little ones grabbed her hands and pulled her toward the residence.

“Sister Qianxue, stay and eat with us.”

“Th-this... all right.”

Seeing that Lu Xunxian did not object, Luo Qianxue quickly agreed.

At that very moment, Feng Qingyu, who was on her way to Myriad Dao Academy, did not know why, but a strong sense of discomfort suddenly surged up in her heart, as though something extremely precious was about to be taken away from her.
