Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1574 - 1572: Listen to My Explanation

Nobody knows the specifics of the treatment process, and Long Bai remains tight-lipped about it. But ever since that time, whenever Long Bai hears that person's name, he can't help but turn pale and tremble.

Long Bai is renowned, and even such a tough man was reduced to this state, not to mention others.

Some people, not convinced by such stories, went to the Righteous Blood Sect for treatment after being injured, specifically seeking out this healer. But after going once, they never went back a second time.

In recent years, even if the Nine Provinces Constellations suffered serious injuries in stellar space, they tried not to go to the Righteous Blood Sect, unless absolutely necessary.

This further enhanced the notorious reputation of these poison doctors in the Righteous Blood Sect.

But putting everything aside, this person's medical skills are truly outstanding, recognized across the Nine Provinces. As long as there's still a breath left, she can usually save the person.

There are also rumors that this poison doctor met Lu Yiye during humble beginnings and formed a deep bond; the two have long been in love.

Lu Ye was missing for six years, and now that he's back, that person would surely be happy. But if he were to bring back a beautiful woman and a five or six-year-old child, no one knows how she would react.

"Who would have thought, this kid Yiye still has these tricks up his sleeve," Qian Wudang said, stroking his chin with interest.

"Envious?" Fan Xiangyi turned to look at him with a knowing smile.

"Impossible!" Qian Wudang's expression was serious. "I despise him. As a great man, I, Qian Wudang, look down on those who start indiscriminately and abandon the women they entice!"

Fan Xiangyi snorted softly and turned, flying towards the Nine Provinces, with Qian Wudang hurrying to catch up.

Bingzhou, Mount Ao, the scenery is as it was before, but inside the sect, it has become even more lively.

Nowadays, the foundation of the Nine Provinces is richer than in the past, making cultivation easier for lower-tier cultivators. In six years, the sect has seen a large number of Cloud River-True Lake cultivators emerge, and even in the Divine Sea Realm, Lu Ye has noticed several.

Many sect members and disciples roam back and forth among the spirit mountaintops. Some practice martial arts in the square, some sprint through the wild hills, some develop spirit fields, and plant spirit plants...

The Righteous Blood Sect now finally has the aura of a big sect.

Lu Ye put away the spirit ark and took Lih Shang and Yaya straight to Righteous Peak.

This place is always the most bustling, because the Heaven's Augury Hall is located on Righteous Peak, and all disciples entering and exiting the Spirit Stream battlefield and Cloud River battlefield must come here.

On a giant platform on Righteous Peak, a disciple in the Divine Sea Realm is instructing others in cultivation. In front of him, a group of young children sits cross-legged, looking solemn.

Lu Ye recognizes the Divine Sea who is guiding the disciples in cultivation as none other than Kong Niu, who used to follow Hua Ci.

This guy is slow-witted and seems not to have high aptitude, yet the less aptitude someone has, the more dedicated they can be to cultivation matters. In Lu Ye's generation, there were quite a few disciples in the Righteous Blood Sect, and many of them exceeded Kong Niu in terms of both aptitude and cultivation. However, now Kong Niu has progressed to the Divine Sea, exceeding the achievements of most of them from back then.

Compared to the bustling location of the Heaven's Augury Hall, another corner appears much quieter. This is also where Second Senior Sister Shui Yuan resides. Lu Ye used to come here often, and every time he came, there was good food to be had.

Currently, the sect master is not present in the sect, so all matters big and small in the Righteous Blood Sect are overseen by Shui Yuan. However, she is now in the Constellation Realm, so she generally does not concern herself much with sect affairs. The eyes of a Constellation cultivator are always on the stellar space. Therefore, unless the sect encounters some major issue that is difficult to solve, those newly advanced in the Divine Sea come to consult Shui Yuan, otherwise, they settle matters on their own.

Glancing over there, Lu Ye didn't disturb them. The gap in cultivation was too large, and if he intentionally hides his presence, even Kong Niu wouldn't notice him.

He walked straight in another direction, heading towards that familiar grass hut before Lu Ye finally revealed his presence.

In an instant, a disorderly noise erupted from inside the hut, followed by two strands of Mental Consciousness belonging to the Constellation Realm spreading out together.

Recognizing the familiar Mental Consciousness, Lu Ye smiled faintly.

The door of the hut opened, and two figures emerged one after the other, both looking disheveled, as if they had been doing something inside.

But smelling the scent of pills wafting from the hut, Lu Ye roughly understood. These two had probably been doing alchemy just now, maybe at a critical point, yet got interrupted by his arrival. Needless to say, that batch of pills was probably ruined.

"Second Senior Sister!" Lu Ye bowed to the person on the left.

Shui Yuan wiped the ash off her face, which only made it blacker, turning it into a big dirty spot, yet her smile was as blooming as a flower: "As long as you're back, as long as you're back!"

"I ran into some trouble and have been wandering outside all this time, making Second Senior Sister worry!" Feeling the relief from Shui Yuan, Lu Ye's heart felt warm.

The All Phenomena Ocean is nice, but it's here where the ones he cares for and who care for him reside.

Lu Ye then turned to look at Hua Ci. Not having seen each other for six years, this woman's charm had become even more mature, as if you could squeeze water from her with just a touch, her smile still so soft and gentle.

Like Second Senior Sister, her face was black and white patched, but she just quietly smiled at Lu Ye.

Locking eyes, Lu Ye saw his own reflection in the woman's clear gaze. Even without saying anything, he felt like all the hardships of his journey were nothing.

In front of the grass hut, blossoms fell and drifted; the man and woman who hadn't seen each other for years locked eyes with tender affection.

The scene seemed frozen in that moment. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Papa, I'm hungry!" A sudden voice rang out, with Yaya in Lih Shang's arms breaking the beautiful spell.

Lu Ye's eye twitched, suddenly realizing something was amiss. He looked again at the woman in front of him, and the tenderness in her eyes had turned to shock and bewilderment. She looked at Lu Ye, then at Lih Shang behind him, and then at Yaya in Lih Shang's arms...

The smile was still gentle, but Lu Ye could clearly feel that there was an underlying shift in tone.

Big trouble!

Yaya, having not received a response from Lu Ye, turned to Lih Shang and said, "Mom, I'm hungry!"

Disaster was imminent!

Even Shui Yuan's expression turned peculiar.

Hua Ci's gentle voice rang out, "Whose little girl is this? She's absolutely adorable."

Yaya puffed up her chest with pride and declared, "I'm Daddy and Mommy's little girl!"

It's over!

Lu Ye hurriedly spoke up, "It's not what you think..."

"Heh," Hua Ci giggled softly, covered her mouth, and then turned around. With a push of her spirit force, she floated away and disappeared in an instant!

"Don't go, listen to my explanation!" Lu Ye shouted, but Hua Ci didn't acknowledge him at all, acting as if she hadn't heard a thing.

Lih Shang didn't know exactly what had happened, but she was a sharp and intelligent woman, so she had some guesses. She couldn't help but give Lu Ye a shove. "Go after her!"

Lu Ye looked at his Second Senior Sister, Shui Yuan, who was giving him a reproachful look. "You, you!"

Messing around outside was one thing, but having a child and bringing the mess and the child home was something no woman, no matter how generous, could tolerate. Shui Yuan truly didn't know what Lu Ye was thinking.

"Second Senior Sister, please look after them," Lu Ye said, then instructed Lih Shang, "Please help explain things."

Lih Shang nodded. "Don't worry."

Only then did Lu Ye chase after Hua Ci's departure direction into the sky.

Soon after, at the Emerald Bamboo Peak, Lu Ye landed.

This spirit mountaintop was chosen for him by Yiyi and was gifted to him by the sect master after he had reached the True Lake. Strictly speaking, he was still the Peak Master of Emerald Bamboo Peak, eligible to take disciples here. However, Lu Ye was constantly on the move, without the mindset for this, so as of now, only a few close to him lived on Emerald Bamboo Peak.

At present, with Yiyi and Giant Armor not around, only Hua Ci was residing here.

The structures hadn't changed much. His little bamboo house was still there, and next to it was Hua Ci's residence, also a bamboo house. Hua Ci was inside at that moment.

Lu Ye didn't enter, instead looking at the figure outside the bamboo house that resembled a door deity.

He had seen this creature before; initially, it appeared to be a toad but without the bumpy texture. It had a bronze hue, seemingly something Hua Ci had captured from the Cloud River battlefield.

When Lu Ye had first seen this creature, it wasn't very large. Now it had grown to the size of a house, squatting there with its two protruding, large eyes fixed on Lu Ye.

The most astonishing thing to Lu Ye was that the creature was exuding the aura of a Constellation.

Back when he first encountered it, Lu Ye sensed it was no ordinary kind. Looking at it now, he was even more convinced it had some extraordinary bloodline, otherwise, there was no reason for it to have grown so rapidly.

After all, the former Nine Provinces was a top-tier domain, home to many ferocious beasts. Though the Nine Provinces had declined, these ferocious beasts left behind some bloodlines, so this was not surprising.

"Ribbit!" The toad made a strange noise. As it sounded, its mouth opened wide, and a scarlet lash shot straight toward Lu Ye at lightning speed.

Lu Ye was secretly amazed, for the creature's strength was quite impressive. Had it been an ordinary Constellation Early Stage cultivator facing this strike, it would have been hard to dodge.

However, his prowess was not something an average Constellation could match. So instead of dodging, he reached out and caught the scarlet object, feeling its warmth. It was the creature's tongue.

With a pull, the toad's already bulging eyes protruded even more. Its house-sized body was dragged straight toward Lu Ye by a formidable force.

Lu Ye sidestepped its collision, spun it around a few times holding its tongue, and then let go, watching the giant toad soar into the sky. Satisfied, he dusted off his hands.

Before he could proceed further, the ground suddenly trembled, and a gleam of cold light shot up from beneath his feet like a sharp sword.

Lu Ye leaped into the air, but the cold gleam pursued relentlessly. It was only then that Lu Ye saw his attacker.

A scorpion the size of a pot lid, with a blood-red pattern on its back resembling a human face—a beautiful woman's face—was smiling alluringly at Lu Ye, captivating and bewitching.

The scorpion's tail was raised high, with a cold gleam at the tip.

This scorpion only had the aura of the Divine Sea, yet Lu Ye hadn't detected it at all before its attack.

What on earth had Hua Ci raised here?
