Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 63: Su Ying

"Cough! Cough! Yunqi, how could you do this?" Ye Chen complained as he stood up from the ground and shook the dirt off.

Just now, when his fifth phantom sword was about to hit her, she had shamelessly unleashed her cultivation, destroying the sword while sending him flying.

"Oh? What did I do? Didn’t you ask me to spar with you? It’s natural for people to lose," Zhen Yunqi said with a confused look; however, she couldn’t hide the smile in her eyes.

Watching her like this, Ye Chen’s mouth twitched a little. However, he didn’t say anything since he would have lost to the ninth stage Qi-refining cultivator anyway.

Although he had forced Zhen Yunqi and even broke her attacks, it was because she wasn’t using her strength to the limit. If she or any cultivator at the ninth stage of Qi-reining did this, he was bound to lose.

Hence, he didn’t care much about the loss. However, it didn’t mean he would forget this; he would definitely make her pay back in various ways.

Just as he was thinking about this, Li Mei and Lan Ming rushed forward to see if he was injured or not. Only after seeing there wasn’t even a scratch did they put their worried hearts down.

Since the spar ended, everyone returned and had dinner before going to sleep.

…

Western province, Mu family estate.

"Mu Ning, you really live up to the name of the genius!" Mu Jingtian praised with a gentle smile, but anyone who knew this old man knew it was nothing but empty praise.

How could he feel good if someone from a branch family has the talent to suppress him, the family head?

"Family head, you praise me too much. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to get this opportunity," Mu Ning replied with a little stiff look.

From birth she had displayed extraordinary talent in cultivation as well as handling fire.

The Mu family’s main business was alchemy; hence her talent was highly valued, but of course there were people who didn’t like her.

One of them was clearly the family head, Mu Jingtian.

However, knowing this wouldn’t change anything since she had formed a soul contract with the Mu family.

The contract stated she would be nurtured, and her family would be protected; however, she had to listen to the Mu family and work under them.

If anyone was smart, they could see the Mu family was trying to control her, but her family didn’t understand this, and with the persuasion of others, they finally agreed to let Mu Ning sign the contract.

At that time Mu Ning was just fourteen years old, and she knew nothing about the cruelty of the world. So, she formed the contract willingly.

But as she grew up, she started to regret it, but what was the use? The contract can’t be undone no matter what.

"Good! You do know how to respect your seniors," Mu Jingtian laughed, ignoring her stiff look.

"You are already twenty-six years old, and your achievements in alchemy are unparalleled. With the help of Fire Crystal, I believe you will reach newer heights."

"Although your cultivation is only at the fifth stage of foundation establishment, it won’t take too long before you enter the core formation stage," he said and continued.

"While everything is good and I don’t have any problems, you should have already understood why I gave you the fire crystal, right?" He stated with a grave look.

Hearing him, Mu Ning could only sigh inwardly and nod at him.

"To find the other half of the fire crystal," she answered.

"Yes, that’s what I am looking for. However, there is no need to hurry; just keep an eye on its location. If it moves further away or goes into any other province, inform me immediately," he said seriously.

In response, Mu Ning nodded once again.

With the fire crystal fused inside her dantian, it was easy for her to figure out the location of the other half. It’s just that the location can’t be precise unless she is very close to the other half of the fire crystal.

After this the old man Mu Jingtian didn’t say anything and let her leave.

"Now everyone must be waiting for me to take action," he muttered, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

…

The next morning nothing special happened, and after breakfast, Su Qiming came to the Azure Cloud Pavilion.

Who knows when, but Jing Xiao was also there, smiling faintly at Ye Chen while trying to pick up a fight with Zhen Yunqi.

"Little friend Ye Chen, I have already prepared every item you asked for. Do you want me to take it out here?" Su Qiming asked politely.

In response, Ye Chen shook his head.

"No need for now; let’s go and check your daughter’s condition first," he replied.

Hearing him Su Qiming didn’t delay and hastily led everyone to his estate in a luxurious carriage.

As the prominent family of the southern region, the Su family possessed a lot of assets. In which was sixty percent core area of the mystic city.

There were a lot of villas, high-quality pavilions, shops, and even private courtyards.

But even all of this faded in front of the Su family estate, which contained gardens, buildings, and even vast land for growing spiritual herbs.

The total area of the estate was enough to cover forty percent of the core area; moreover, it was very luxurious and was guarded by a lot of cultivators.

As the luxurious carriage strode through the estate, Li Mei and Lan Ming were shocked by the spectacle.

Only Ye Chen, Zhen Yunqi, and Jing Xiao remained calm.

"Little friend Ye Chen, we have arrived," Su Qiming said after the carriage came to a stop in front of a massive silent courtyard.

There were a lot of guards here, as if this was the most important building inside the Su estate.

"The Su family really spent a lot of money to build this place, right?" Jing Xiao spoke with a surprised look as she felt the abundance of life-Qi here.

Hearing her, Su Qiming nodded with a sigh.

"Yes, it took half of the family’s assets to build everything here," he replied.

Although Su Ying’s condition wasn’t critical, it was too hard to suppress her once she went berserk.

Moreover, every month she would go through the intense pain, and since the pills and treatment were useless, he could only build some complicated formations to ease her pain. But clearly it cost a lot; even running was very expensive.

Hearing the answer, Jing Xiao didn’t continue to inquire.

After this, Su Qiming didn’t waste any time and directly led everyone to see his daughter.

"Sister MeiMei, do you feel tense and cold?" Lan Ming inquired secretly.

"Unn! I feel it." Li Mei nodded with a serious look.

"Really? I thought it was just my imagination."

Lan Ming muttered, feeling puzzled at this.

She could feel the dense life-Qi around here, which should’ve made everyone feel relaxed, but the opposite was happening here.

"Little friend Ye Chen, she is Su Ying, my youngest child," Su Qiming introduced.

Everyone’s gaze was now focused behind the blue transplant wall.

There stood a twenty-year-old girl with beautiful long violet hair. There was no expression on her face, but she still looked charming with her snow-white skin.

However, if one looked at her for too long, they would feel suffocated, and their spiritual Qi would get restless.

"Remove the formation. I want to go inside," Ye Chen said at this moment.

He also felt suffocated, but his expression remained peaceful.

"Little friend Ye Chen, your cultivation is too low, so I will advise you not to stay inside for more than ten minutes. Although the formation can protect your life, it can’t protect you from getting injured," Su Qiming reminded him with a serious look.

"Don’t worry; I know my limits," Ye Chen replied with a composed look.

Hearing him, Su Qiming nodded and gestured him to step forward while he and everyone backed out.

Li Mei and Lan Ming displayed worried expressions, but they didn’t say anything and just observed.

Shing!

Suddenly a formation was activated that covered Ye Chen and Su Ying’s room as well. Then with another sound, the transplant blue formation disappeared.

Now there was no obstacle between Ye Chen and Su Ying.

’He is so handsome!’ This was Su Ying’s first thought after looking at Ye Chen clearly.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen didn’t bother to appreciate her beauty and stepped forward.

"Give me your hand; I want to take a pulse," he instructed.

Su Ying was doubtful about his ability, but she didn’t want to see her father sad, so she reached out her left hand.

Ye Chen didn’t waste any time and took her pulse with a serious expression.

But it was clearly useless as her condition didn’t allow anyone to see what was wrong with her body.

All Ye Chen was able to see was endless darkness; even when he tried to inspect with spiritual consciousness, the result was the same: it was as if something was blocking him from inspecting her.
