Chapter 69 Inquiry
Chapter 69 Inquiry
"We were unaware of the arrival of a disciple from your sect at our humble abode. The Yao family has failed to greet you properly and hopes for your forgiveness."
The Yao family patriarch, known as Yao Tai, had half-white hair and beard. He was dressed in a coarse cloth short jacket. After looking Yu Huai up and down for a moment, he noticed the disciple's token on Yu Huai's body and quickly stepped forward, cupping his hands and speaking respectfully.
He did not show any contempt for them because their cultivation level was lower than his own.
Behind him stood Yao Mai, the head of the Yao family, and Yao Mo, along with a group of other members.
But when Yao Mo saw Yu Huai's face, he was stunned.
That face looks so familiar.
A name suddenly popped into Yao Mo's mind.
Yu Huai.
Could this person be Brother Yu?
Yao Mo was puzzled, but didn't dare to look any further.
As the recognized superior sect in the cultivation world of Song Kingdom, even the outer disciples of Qingxuan Sect are far superior to those of small families in the market. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to even meet them, let alone visit them in person.
Moreover, cultivators are unpredictable. If this Qingxuan Sect disciple feels offended and blames my family, then even the Sun family won't be able to protect them.
Therefore, he quickly lowered his head.
Yu Huai took in everyone's reactions, then looked at Yao Tai, nodded slightly, and smiled:
"No need for formalities. I am Yu Huai, a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect. I have come today to visit an old friend and inquire about some matters."
As he spoke, Yu Huai took out a token and handed it to Yao Tai. This token was the one that Yao Mo had given to Yu Huai back then.
Upon hearing this, Yao Mo suddenly looked up and was slightly surprised when he saw the token that Yu Huai had taken out.
Yu Huai?
It really is Brother Yu.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, he had become a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect. No wonder he had asked me about the Qingxuan Sect before.
"Old friend?"
Yao Tai glanced at Yao Mai and Yao Mo behind him. These two liked to make friends casually, so they must have come looking for them.
Yao Tai accepted the token and glanced at it. Realizing it was indeed his family's special token, he thought to himself, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Yu Huai and said:
"In that case, please come inside for a talk, fellow Daoist."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huai nodded and responded, then entered the Yao residence under the guidance of Yao Tai.
The main hall of the Yao family.
The Yao family members left, and behind the scenes, they kept speculating about the sudden appearance of the Qingxuan Sect disciples.
At this moment, only four figures remained in the main hall.
The Yao family consists of three people: Yao Tai, Yao Mai, and Yao Mo.
The other person was Yu Huai.
Yu Huai and Yao Tai both sat at the head of the table, while Yao Mai, as the head of the family, and Yao Mo sat at the lower end of the table on either side.
After sitting down and chatting with Yao Tai for a few moments, Yu Huai turned to Yao Mo, who was sitting below him, and smiled:
"Brother Yao, we were neighbors in Luofengfang. Do you still remember me?"
Upon hearing this, both Yao Tai and Yao Mo looked at Yao Mo, quite surprised.
Unexpectedly, Yao Mo was able to become acquainted with a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect.
"I never expected it to really be Brother Yu. It's been so many years, Brother Yu has really changed a lot."
Indeed, before meeting Yao Mo, Yu Huai's cultivation level was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and he even used the Silver Ring to hide it at the fourth level, which is why Yao Mo was amazed by the magnitude of his change.
"After that night, I went looking for Brother Yu, only to find your house in ruins. I searched the market several times but couldn't find you. I thought..."
Yao Mo, sitting to the left, sighed with emotion.
Now that they meet again, their statuses are worlds apart.
Ha ha.
"That night was truly perilous. Fortunately, I found a small path and escaped from Luofengfang, saving my life. However, this misfortune turned into a blessing, as I discovered a Foundation Establishment ruin, which greatly increased my cultivation. Furthermore, with the Ascension Token, I was able to enter the Qingxuan Sect."
Yu Huai explained, feigning recollection.
It turned out to be the case.
All three members of the Yao family had this same thought.
Ok.
"However, I came here today to carry out a mission from my sect to exorcise demons. I also came here to inquire about something. If we have time in the future, I'd like to have a cup of Maple Frost Wine with Brother Yao."
Yu Huai changed the subject and continued, looking at the three members of the Yao family.
"Please ask us, Fellow Daoist Yu Huai, if we know the answer, we will tell you everything."
Yao Tai spoke up.
Yu Huai nodded and looked at Yao Mai, who was sitting to the left.
This sight startled the middle-aged Yao Mai.
He shouldn't have had any contact with this Qingxuan disciple named Yu Huai, so why is he looking at him?
Yao Mai was puzzled.
"Fellow Daoist Yao Mai, I once met you. Do you remember me?"
Yu Huai smiled.
Yu Huai obtained an entry token for the trade fair from Old Wang. It was at this trade fair that he met Yao Mai, and it was from Yao Mai that he obtained the "Great Chun Body Strengthening Technique".
After the trade fair ended, Yao Mai tried to befriend him, but he refused.
However, Yu Huai had his face covered at that time, so Yao Mai probably couldn't recognize him, let alone remember him.
Uh.
Yao Mai scratched his head, unable to recall where he had seen this Yu Huai before, and could only look to Yao Tai for help.
Yao Mo was also very puzzled as to how his father could know Yu Huai. He looked at Yao Mai and, seeing his expression, became even more confused.
Before Mrs. Yao could say anything, Yu Huai laughed first:
Ha ha.
"I won't make things difficult for Fellow Daoist Yao Mai. I covered my face at the time, so it would be quite a problem if Fellow Daoist Yao Mai could recognize me."
Upon seeing this, Yao Mai simply smiled.
"Does Fellow Daoist Yao Mai still remember the ancient method of 'Great Chun Body Strengthening Exercise'?"
Yu Huai then got to the point and asked a question.
Ok?
Da Chun Body Strengthening Exercise?
Suddenly, Yao Mai seemed to realize something and looked at Yu Huai. But no matter how he looked at him, Yu Huai's current figure did not seem to resemble the person who had exchanged cultivation techniques with him before.
The most likely explanation is that this person practiced the "Great Chun Body Forging Technique," which caused such a significant change in his physique.
Could it be that he's come to find me now for the next stage of the cultivation technique?
Yao Mai's heart stirred slightly as he recalled many things and guessed Yu Huai's purpose in coming here.
Thinking of the embarrassing scene where he had tried to befriend him but was rejected instead, Yao Mai's face turned slightly red, and he coughed lightly.
However, he wasn't wrong about it back then.
This person survived that night at Luofengfang and even joined the Qingxuan Sect. He's not much different from the chosen one in the storybooks.
"Do you remember?"
Seeing the change in Yao Mai's expression, Yu Huai knew that he must have remembered, and asked.
Seeing Yao Mai like this, Yao Tai and Yao Mo exchanged a glance, both knowing that the two of them seemed to have some kind of entanglement.
Hopefully it's not a bad thing.
This was what Yao Tai was thinking.
I never expected that Brother Yu had met my father once before. No wonder he was so surprised when he heard that I was from the Yao family.
Yao Mo was thinking the same thing.
"Now I remember. I never imagined I would have had a transaction with Fellow Daoist Yu Huai back then. It was truly an honor. Fellow Daoist Yu Huai, you have already cultivated the Great Chun Body Forging Technique, haven't you?"
Yao Mai steadied himself and spoke.
"That's right, I have already reached the pinnacle of my cultivation and have come to inquire about the subsequent content."
Yu Huai nodded.
Ugh.
Upon hearing this, a look of sadness flashed across Yao Mai's face, and he sighed softly.
Upon seeing this, Yu Huai frowned.
