Chapter 12 Give me what you don't like!
He was looking at the document in his hand, but in his heart he was considering whether or not to take Xu Tianyi into the Xu family.
This is tantamount to increasing investment in the crown prince.
Investing involves risks.
If the King of Qi discovers this, the Xu family will be finished again.
But the Xu family is indeed gone.
If the other party is indeed a member of the Xu family, and a male heir at that, it would at least have the effect of continuing the family line.
Most importantly, for someone their age to have reached the level of a martial arts master is quite a talent.
While he was thinking, he had already turned to the page about Xu Tianyi.
He immediately frowned.
“You are indeed a member of the Xu family... but not entirely.”
Xu Tianyi was overjoyed, but then he became somewhat puzzled.
"Old sir, why do you say that?"
Xu Qian said calmly, "You belong to my elder brother's lineage, and are the son of my nephew Xu Guangxian."
Twenty-one years ago, Xu Guangxian took his wife to Tang'an City to do business. Unexpectedly, the caravan accidentally entered the Abyss of Illusion, and afterwards, Xu Guangxian, who was unable to have children, actually had a child.
There were no further records, and not even a name was chosen.
At that time, I remember that your mother became pregnant unexpectedly, and everyone thought that you were the child of the demon from the Illusionary Realm, not the child of Xu Guangxian who was infertile.
Especially when you were born, there was a tally mark on your chest, which then suddenly disappeared.
Xu Guangxian and the others found it strange and wanted to get rid of you, but your mother refused and disappeared in Anlu with you.
Therefore, my Xu family cannot confirm your identity, much less allow you to be recognized as a member of our clan.
After he finished speaking, everyone stared at Xu Tianyi in disbelief.
Gu Feixue and her daughter were also somewhat stunned by Xu Tianyi's bizarre background.
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianyi laughed loudly: "It's alright...it's alright...knowing this matter has fulfilled one of my wishes. Since it cannot be confirmed, Xu Tianyi is not one to curry favor. However, I still hope that Patriarch Xu can register my household, just an ordinary household will do. I wonder if Patriarch Xu would be willing to help me?"
Xu Qian didn't expect the other party to be so carefree, but he didn't pay much attention to the other party's request.
Xu Guangxian had already been killed by him, and his head was sent to the King of Qi.
The fact that the other party remained unmoved in the face of the murder of his father suggests that he is not a true member of the Xu family, but merely trying to curry favor with them. Perhaps even the name Xu Tianyi is fake.
Thinking of this, he smiled. It was just a household slave wanting to become a commoner.
He gave Gu Feixue a meaningful look, inwardly mocking her for being used by a mere servant.
“This is easy to discuss. Since that’s the case, we will register you as a resident of Anlu tomorrow.”
"Then thank you very much, Patriarch Xu..."
Xu Tianyi smiled happily.
As for his father, he guessed that Xu Qian had killed him.
But he had little intention of avenging the father who had abandoned his child.
More than anything, he was thinking of his jade pendant with the character "正" (zheng, meaning upright/correct).
It seems to come from the Infernal Realm. I must go in and take a look when I'm stronger.
As for her mother, she is presumably dead at the hands of the bandits of Qingniu Mountain.
Therefore, I must avenge my mother. I must eliminate the remaining bandits of Qingniu Mountain!
If the Xu family dares to obstruct us, we will take action ourselves.
Thinking of this, he felt much more at ease.
Neither side wanted to cause any more trouble, so the banquet ended quickly.
After the meal, Gu Feixue took out a gift, a piece of century-old Yang jade.
It may sound like a hundred-year-old jade, but it's actually incredibly powerful.
Yangyu is a special item supplied to the imperial family; it can nourish the body and cure all diseases.
Simply put, it improves the body's immunity and increases the speed of cultivation.
If this thing were in modern society, wouldn't it sell for hundreds of millions at an auction house?
You should know that anything that can prolong life is definitely extraordinary.
The lifespans of martial artists in the Wuji Empire are generally longer, but most of them die in battles and during cultivation.
Even if one's cultivation reaches the level of a Grandmaster or higher, they may still perish prematurely due to fighting and killing.
Normally, if you live a peaceful life, you can live to be over a hundred years old.
The Hidden Clan is different; their lifespan is ten times that of ordinary people.
However, the Hidden Clan has a small population and low fertility.
. . .
When Yang Yu was taken out, Xu Tianyi felt a warm sensation in his mind and a sense of longing. Clearly, if he could devour Yang Yu, he might be able to increase his cultivation speed or cultivation level.
But he suppressed his inner turmoil and waited patiently for the banquet to end.
After a long while, Gu Feixue took her leave.
She was originally going to stay at the Xu family's house for a day, but now she didn't want to stay any longer.
The Xu family didn't seem to welcome him very much.
She knew this was a normal reaction from the other party after the Crown Prince lost power.
She booked an entire inn, and everyone checked in.
Afterwards, Gu Feixue invited Xu Tianyi into her room for a detailed discussion.
This inn doesn't only have single rooms or suites; it actually has one-bedroom apartments.
So they sat down in the hall.
"Young Master Xu, what are your plans for the future?"
Gu Feixue continued to inquire gently.
If Xu Tianyi hadn't been exceptionally talented in swordsmanship and hadn't shown loyalty, she wouldn't have spoken to a servant alone.
This time, she is doing a favor, which is the usual practice of those in power.
As the Crown Princess, she knows these things.
How can you gain the trust of those below you without showing them kindness?
Just like the Xu family, if I don't make any gestures, how can they continue to invest in the Crown Prince?
This was also the reason she came to inspect the former faction of the Crown Prince in Yongzhou, and at the same time, to broaden her daughter's horizons.
Upon hearing her question, Xu Tianyi knew that his opportunity had arrived.
He immediately knelt down and said, "Xu Tianyi humbly begs the Pavilion Master to accept me as his disciple!!"
Since he began cultivating, Xu Tianyi felt that he had extraordinary talent, but he was troubled by the lack of profound cultivation methods.
At this moment, I am still practicing the Qian family's Qi Condensation Technique.
This also meant that no matter how hard I tried, I was only at the Martial Master level by the age of twenty-one.
At the age of nineteen, Miss Qinghan was already close to reaching the Grandmaster realm, which made Xu Tianyi feel extremely ashamed.
Now that Xu Tianyi has resolved his past, he has no more worries and only wants to focus on martial arts so that he can reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future!
Therefore, please teach me, Your Excellency!
After saying this, he kowtowed heavily and handed over the teacup.
Gu Feixue had a premonition that the other party would become her apprentice, but she was still conflicted about actually saying it.
Xu Tianyi has a great talent for swordsmanship, but it's not very useful.
To put it bluntly, before reaching the Martial Spirit level, he did indeed rely on martial arts.
After the Martial Spirit Realm, everyone competes with their ultimate moves, special skills, and true energy.
In other words, talent for cultivation is far more important than talent for martial arts.
After all, you have strong combat abilities, but I'm going all out and refusing to engage in a gamble. What do you say to that?
In the battle against the Trisolarans, do you expect to kill someone with an elbow strike?
At twenty-one years old, a third-rank martial arts master, his talent is so bad it's not even worth mentioning.
It can barely be considered a low-grade product.
Even if you possess profound skills, in Gu Feixue's eyes, your cultivation level would probably only be at most that of a Grand Martial Master.
She actually looked down on Xu Tianyi.
After thinking it over, she grabbed Xu Tianyi's wrist.
A chilling aura coursed through his body.
After a moment, she spoke.
"Get up. You cannot cultivate my Frost Qi. You have no talent for it."
Xu Tianyi already knew in his heart that he couldn't learn it.
But hearing it from the other person's mouth still left him feeling somewhat resentful.
"Sect Master, it's fine if we don't learn the Frost Qi. I can accept any other cultivation method as long as it's decent."
I'm not picky!
"And any martial arts techniques or anything else you don't like, give them to me, I'll learn them, I'll learn them all..."
