Attending the Meeting (Part 1)
Attending the Meeting (Part 1)
Not long after, the boat arrived at the shore of Immortal Spirit Island. The two of them boarded the boat and Li Yiru said,"Ha, let me show Brother Hu a secret!”She asked Wang Xiaohu to follow her to the side of a mountain wall. Then, she asked Wang Xiaohu to push a rock in front of the mountain wall with her. A hole appeared here. Wang Xiaohu could not help but ask curiously,"Why is there a hole in the ground? I never knew!"
"Of course, there are many secrets on Immortal Spirit Island that you don't know!" Li Yiru said. This tunnel led directly to the Watermoon Palace. However, there were some traps that would test whether Brother Hu was smart or not.”
"You little brat, let's see what tricks you can play!”Wang Xiaohu wanted to show off his skills, so he followed Li Yiru into the cave.
It turned out that the cave was a different world. Wang Xiaohu said,"It seems that brother Xiao Yao is afraid that someone will barge into the Immortal Spirit Island again and spent a lot of effort.”Under Li Yiru's guidance, he came to a mechanism seat and took down a white crystal ball. Then, he saw an empty mechanism seat in the distance. Wang Xiaohu immediately understood and placed the crystal ball on the empty mechanism seat. As expected, the mechanism was activated and the road ahead was connected. Wang Xiaohu continued to advance in the cave, cracking the same traps along the way. Finally, he passed through the long path and arrived at the exit.
"Yiru, I suddenly have a question. If your grandfather and the others came, would they have to go through this much trouble?" Wang Xiaohu asked.”
" Father has opened a secret ferry behind the Watermoon Palace," Li Yiru said with a smile." Grandfather and the others can go ashore from there."”
"So you're deliberately making me take this path?" Wang Xiaohu asked.”
"Anyway, these mechanisms shouldn't be a problem for you!" Li Yiru said.”
"Hmph, a mischievous little girl who likes to play pranks.”
"Hehe, where?"
Wang Xiaohu didn't have a solution for her, so the two of them walked out from the exit. As expected, they had already arrived at the back garden of Watermoon Palace. However, just as the two of them walked out, they immediately heard someone shouting angrily,"Li Yiru! You still know to go home?"
Li Yiru was shocked. Then, she saw an old woman walking towards her. Li Yiru quickly said,"A-Auntie!"
"Auntie Li!" Wang Xiaohu immediately greeted.”
Aunt Li walked to the front of the two people and said,"Yi Ru, your courage is really getting bigger and bigger!" He sneaked out without telling his aunt! You're really the same as your father!"
"I'm sorry, Auntie." Li Yiru hurriedly said.”
"Humph," Aunt Li said,"Is a 'sorry' enough?" Do you know how anxious I was looking for you?”
"Auntie, please calm down!" Wang Xiaohu said. Yiru is still young, so it's inevitable that she doesn't know what's going on. Don't blame her too much!”
"Little Huzi, you don't have to speak up for her!" Aunt Li said. As for you, why do you have the time to come to Immortal Spirit Island? Didn't you go to Hangzhou?"
"I was ordered by my master to look for Uncle Huangfu," Wang Xiaohu said.”
"I see…Then where did you find this little girl who didn't return from home?”
"I met her in Yuhang…Yiru was probably too bored, so she went to Yuhang for a walk.”
"No matter what, she ran away from home without permission and made people worry about her! It's impossible not to punish her slightly!"
"Auntie, I'm sorry." Li Yiru lowered her head.”
"Hmph, it's too late to apologize now!" Aunt Li said. Little Huzi, bring her into the house. I want to punish her properly!”
"Auntie!" Wang Xiaohu said.
Aunt Li said seriously,"Don't say anymore. I know what I'm doing!" He deserved to be punished! Yiru, go into the house!"
Li Yiru thought to herself, This is bad, Auntie is really angry this time…
Helpless, Li Yiru and Wang Xiaohu walked into the Watermoon Palace together. Who knew that as soon as they entered the door, they would find many people standing in the hall. Li Yiru was surprised to see them."Uncle Ghost…and Grandpa? Why are you here?"
"Yiru, there's still us!" Anu shouted.”
"Sister Anu…and Grandpa Book Immortal? Why are you all here?"
"Hehe, Yiru!" Did you sneak out to play and get caught by Auntie?”
Lin Tiannan said,"As expected, he's mischievous again. He really deserves a beating!"”
"Yiru, this little girl, is really getting more and more mischievous!"”
"Ah…I…I…" Li Yiru said.
The Immortal in the Book said,"Aiyo, why is our little birthday boy acting like a little mouse today?"”
When Li Yiru heard what the Immortal of the Book said, she was stunned."Birthday girl? Ah, could it be…today is…"
Then, she heard Aunt Li's voice from outside the hall."Wild girl, you finally remembered?”Aunt Li walked into the hall and said,"Today is your birthday. Everyone is here to congratulate you!" In the end, you, the birthday boy, went off to fool around.”
"Oh, so today is really my birthday?" Li Yiru said. I've completely forgotten about it."
Aunt Li said,"Ha, Aunt will not punish you for the time being because today is your birthday!" But you're not allowed to sneak out like this again, understand?”
Li Yiru smiled and replied,"Thank you, Auntie. That's great! Hehe!" I knew that auntie was the best to me.”Li Yiru was the first to run in front of the Immortal of Books and said,""Grandpa Book Immortal, where's my gift?”
The Book Immortal said," Xiao Yiru, Book Immortal Grandpa didn't bring any gifts, but he plans to stay here for a while and tell you all the interesting stories he knows. Can you take it as a gift?"”
"Ah, is this true?" Li Yiru asked.”
The Book Immortal said,"Has Grandpa Book Immortal ever lied?"”
"That's great, Grandpa Book Immortal!" Li Yiru said happily. I love listening to your stories."
"Hehe, as long as you like it. There are many books and records in the pill room of Watermoon Palace. I've heard about them for a long time.”With that, the Immortal of Books disappeared.
Then, Li Yiru ran to the Heavenly Ghost Emperor and politely called out,""Uncle Ghost."
"You want a gift?" the Heavenly Ghost Emperor asked. Uncle Ghost will give you something practical. Here's 5000 taels, take it.”
Li Yiru took a stack of silver and looked at it carefully. She said in surprise,"Uncle Ghost, isn't this Underworld money? It's my birthday today, why did you give me this?”
"That's a huge sum of money in Ghost City!" the Heavenly Ghost Emperor said. Uncle Ghost thought you would like it…Otherwise, Uncle Ghost will give you this oil-paper umbrella.”Then, he gave the umbrella to Yiru, who accepted it happily,"Thank you, Uncle Ghost, hehe."
Then, Li Yiru walked to Anu and said,""Sister Anu, you came all the way from Miaojiang. Did you give me anything good?”
"Of course, little girl!" Do you want to guess?"
"I don't care. I want the Venomous Bird!" Li Yiru said.”
"Silly girl, you have to feed the Gu to the bird!" I'll give it to you when you grow up. Sister Anu will give you this first.”After saying that, she took out a container and opened it. There was a fat worm inside. Li Yiru was stunned."What is this?"
A Nu said," This is the Queen of Venomous Insects. If you feed it with something, it will give birth to many different kinds of Venomous Insects. If you can raise the Queen of Venomous Insects well, then you can raise the Venomous Bird well."”
"Really?" Li Yiru asked. Then I promise to take good care of it.”
A Nu gave this container to Li Yiru and taught her the method to feed the Gu. Li Yiru was very smart and remembered it after hearing it once.
Li Yiru ran to Lin Tiannan and said," Grandpa, where's my present?"
"Little Ru 'Er, how old are you this year?" Lin Tian Nan asked.”
"Eight years old, Grandpa."
"Eight years old…is the best time to learn martial arts, especially Yiru's bones and muscles! Come, take this sword manual! In time, our Xiao Yiru's kung fu will definitely not be inferior to grandpa's.”
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Li Yiru then received Lin Tiannan's sword manual.
Finally, Li Yiru came to Wang Xiaohu and said,"Brother Hu…what about my birthday present?”
"Uh, this…I didn't expect today to be your birthday, so I didn't prepare anything…" Wang Xiaohu said.
Li Yiru said," It doesn't matter. You can give me that pair of jade pendants you're wearing as a gift!"”
Aunt Li immediately said: " Yiru, don't mess around. That was Xiao Hu's mother who passed away. She specially left it for her future wife."”
Li Yiru smiled and said,"Hehe, it's half gone!" Who did Brother Hu secretly give it to?"
"Ah…This is…" Wang Xiaohu said, not knowing how to answer.
"Yiru, you can't always bully your honest little brother Hu like this!" You've forgotten your own birthday, and you still have the cheek to ask for a gift from others?”
"I don't care. I just want Brother Hu's birthday present!" Li Yiru said. Brother Hu had already owed him several times!”
Wang Xiaohu could only say," Okay, okay, okay. Let Brother Hu owe me first. I'll definitely buy it for you another day, okay?"”
Li Yiru then said,"Alright, this is what you said." If you forget, then they will take away your jade pendant.”
"Yiru, don't be so naughty!" Aunt Li said.”
Li Yiru looked around and immediately said,"By the way, where's daddy? Daddy should remember that today is my birthday!”
"Alas, your father, that rascal, hasn't come yet!" Aunt Li said. It seemed that he was delayed by something.”
"Hmph, that's too much!" Li Yiru said angrily. Daddy actually forgot her birthday!”
"Yiru, your father is the leader of the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect. Perhaps he's too busy to come."”
"Yes, Savior might have something on, so please don't mind him, Yiru," said the Sky Ghost Emperor.”
"No, it can't be!" Lin Tiannan said. This old man also made an appointment to meet him here today, but he actually didn't show up! This little rascal was always so irresponsible!”
"Grandpa, you're here again…" Li Yiru said,"Since Grandpa hates Dad so much, why would he want to invite Dad to celebrate someone else's birthday?"”
"Grandpa didn't invite your father here to congratulate you on your birthday." Grandpa is going to attend the martial arts competition of the Southern Forest and Northern Shen held by Jiangning Prefecture with your father. Because your father had promised to be the witness of this meeting together with Zen Master Qianye.”
Wang Xiaohu heard this and immediately said,"The Southern Forest and Northern Shen Martial Arts Competition?" Wasn't it just a martial arts gathering where the Lin Clan Fort and the Shen Clan Fort, the alliance leaders of the northern and southern martial arts world, openly competed for supremacy?”
"That's right, that's right." The sparring competition between my Lin Clan and the northern Shen Clan is held once every eight years. It has a history of several decades. Even though it was not as grand as the public election of the leader of the martial arts world, it was still considered a grand event in the martial arts world.”
"Since that's the case, I would like to beg you, Lord Lin. I wonder if you can let me go with you?" The Divine Eye Master wanted me to experience many things. Since I knew there would be such a grand event, I really didn't want to miss it.”
"What's the problem?" Lin Tiannan asked. You are the disciple of Divine Eye Swordsman Sheng, so you are naturally qualified to visit. Moreover, Little Tiger had just come out of the martial world. He should also experience more to broaden his horizons.”
"Thank you, Senior!" Wang Xiaohu hurriedly said.”
"Hey, Little Huzi, get this straight!" Aunt Li said. Castle Lord Lin was about to set off for Jiangning Prefecture!”
"Uh…"
"Lord Lin is one of the organizers, so we must go to Jiangning Prefecture early to settle the martial arts competition. You've only come back after so long. I'll make you stay no matter what! If he wanted to go to Jiangning Prefecture, he would go tomorrow.”
Li Yiru also said," That's right, that's right. It's rare for Brother Hu to come here. Let's stay on Immortal Spirit Island for a night before leaving."”
Lin Tiannan said,"Little Tiger, you stay and accompany Yi Ru!" After all, today was her birthday! I really have no choice but to leave first. When you reach Jiangning Prefecture, you can find me at Yuelai Inn.”
"Yes, Senior!" Wang Xiaohu replied.”
"Right, if Carefree returns, please tell him to quickly come to Jiangning Prefecture to meet me." It's about time. It seems like I have to take my leave first.”
"Grandpa, are you really leaving so soon?" Li Yiru asked.”
"Yes, Grandpa will come to Immortal Spirit Island to see Xiao Ru 'Er another day. Don't run around again!" Lin Tiannan said. In that case, I'll see you all again." Lin Tiannan cupped his fists and bid farewell to everyone before leaving in a hurry.
Li Yiru pouted." Hmph, hmph, hmph. That's too much. No matter if it's Father or Grandfather, they don't take other people's birthdays seriously!"”
"Yiru, don't say that!" Didn't everyone come to congratulate you?”
"But Father didn't come!" Li Yiru said.”
"Sigh…No matter how busy Xiaoyao was in the past, he would definitely come back to stay for a few days on Yiru's birthday!" Aunt Li said. Xiao Hu, when you go to Jiangning Prefecture tomorrow, if you see him, tell him to return to Immortal Spirit Island immediately after the meeting! Aunty needs to give him a good scolding."
"Yes, Auntie!" Wang Xiaohu replied.”
Li Yiru then said,"Hehe, Auntie, how about this!" I'll go to Jiangning Prefecture with Brother Hu to find Father!”
"Are you kidding me? You can't!" Aunt Li immediately said in a deep voice.”
"Why not? I want to see my father!"
"No! If Auntie says no, then no!"
"I don't care. I just have to go!”
"No!" Aunt Li immediately snapped.”
Li Yiru immediately became angry and said,"Hmph, Auntie is the most annoying!"”He turned around and ran inside. Anu quickly called out,"Yiru!" He immediately chased after them.
Aunt Li sighed,"Ai…this Yi Ru's temper is even more stubborn than her father." Perhaps it was because her aunt spoiled her too much.”
"Auntie Li, I'll go and see her!" Wang Xiaohu said.”
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you." Aunty will go out for a walk. Come and find me later.”
Wang Xiaohu turned around and walked into the inner room. When he came to Yiru's door, he heard Li Yiru say to Anu,"Sister Anu, can you take me to find Father? Auntie doesn't even let me go!"
"Aunty is doing this for your own good, Yiru, just listen to her obediently!"”
Wang Xiaohu thought,"I'll leave the matter of appeasing Yi Ru to Sister Anu!"”Thus, he turned around and left. Just as he returned to the hall, he saw the Immortal from the Book appear out of thin air and say,"Little Tiger!"
Wang Xiaohu was shocked and said,"So it's Senior…You really scared me!"”
The Immortal in the Book said,"I've been paying attention to your arm guard since just now!" Come closer and let me take a look!”
"Senior, do you recognize what this is?" Wang Xiaohu asked.”
"Hehe, there are very few things in this world that I don't know about!”
Wang Xiaohu stretched out his hand to let the Immortal of the Book look at the armguard. The Immortal from the Book looked at it for a long time before saying,"In my opinion, this arm guard was transformed from an ancient divine beast that was subdued by the founder of the Celestial Master Sect. Its name is Tiger Fiend!"”
"Tiger Fiend?"
"That's right. Ever since the third generation Heavenly Teacher Zhang Fuhe passed away, it was buried with him to guard the mausoleum. But I don't understand why it would appear on your arm.”
Wang Xiaohu thought to himself, So that's the mausoleum of the Celestial Master Sect's past sect masters…
"Little brat, could it be that you've been to the tomb of the Celestial Master?”
" Senior, it's a long story…" Little Tiger told the Immortal of Books about the adventure in the mausoleum. However, he did not mention that Miss Su fainted outside the cave and Little Tiger carried her home.
The Immortal from the Book laughed." Hehehe, so that's how it is. You actually had such an experience? Hmm…so you were born on the first day of the first lunar month in the year of the tiger, and you have the birthmark of a divine beast on your arm. If I'm not wrong, you're the one who's rarely seen in hundreds of years and has the same fate as the divine beast Tiger Fiend! In addition, you are a person with no evil thoughts. The tiger didn't devour you, but instead fused with you.”
"My innate destiny…is of the same quality as…Tiger Fiend?”
"That's right. That's why the Tiger Fiend couldn't hurt you. Instead, it could attach itself to your arm and assimilate with you…Otherwise, if it was someone else who provoked such a terrifying divine beast, they would have lost their lives long ago.”
"Yeah, I really thought I was dead.”
"Now, it has transformed into this arm guard on your hand and has become your guardian beast. In the future, when you roam the martial world, you will definitely be a great help. Even the little ghosts and monsters can only escape.”
"It's unbelievable that I would have such a fortuitous encounter. If I can see Miss Su again, I have to thank her properly.”
"However…how can there be demons in a place guarded by Tiger Fiend? Did you make a mistake? Tsk! I don't have time to talk to you. It's rare to come to Watermoon Palace. There are many good books here. I'll go read them.”With that, he disappeared again.
