Eternal Tale

”Chen Xun!” Qionghua Shuiyu stomped anxiously, hurriedly explaining, ”This, this isn’t my child, it’s Senior Qian Shan’s younger brother.”

”And where is that kid?” Chen Xun’s gaze darkened, ”Does he not dare to meet this Dao Ancestor?”

Little Chi leaned over to Chen Xun’s ear, explaining the whole story, and finally said, ”Brother Xun, I’m afraid Qian Shan has run away... He knows he’s in big trouble and can’t handle it.”

Song Heng also chimed in with a flattering smile, ”Factory owner, Qian Shan’s Dao heart is quite stubborn, he doesn’t know what’s good for him.”

”Ah, Dao Ancestor, rest assured, I’ve already taken care of the aftermath. I’ve told Qian Shan to go out and use my name, and no one will dare to bully him!”

”Celestial Angler?”

”Hmm?!”

Gu Lisheng’s pupils shrank slightly, staring blankly at Chen Xun, murmuring, ”...Fishing Emperor, you’re the Fishing Emperor!”

”Nonsense.” Chen Xun glared at Gu Lisheng, wondering how he could go out and come back confused again, ”Didn’t Little Chi say your memory had already recovered under the Sea Tomb?”

”You’re the Fishing Emperor!” Gu Lisheng was shocked, looking at Chen Xun, still murmuring, ”Fishing Emperor!!!”Chen Xun looked at Song Heng in confusion, the latter’s expression was quite awkward. This Gu Chuiniu seemed to have gone mad again, and the look in his eyes said only one thing: Factory owner, don’t pay attention to this person.

”Brother Xun, are you going to raise this baby?” Little Chi seemed accustomed to Gu Lisheng’s madness and continued to talk to Chen Xun as if no one else was around, ”He seems like he won’t grow up.”

”What?” Chen Xun frowned, ”I’ve only ever raised my third sister, and she was already sensible at that time, could even run errands. A baby... I’m the dignified Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements, I’m not that idle!”

”Chen Xun... what about him then?”

Qionghua Shuiyu looked at him pleadingly, ”If I take him into the Nine Dragons Mystic Gate, with his unknown background, I’m afraid my family will kick me out.”

”Shuiyu, why don’t you raise him first? When he’s sensible, send him to the Five Aggregates Sect?” Chen Xun glanced at her, his words filled with hesitation, afraid of accidentally harming the baby boy.

He didn’t have the cultivation of a crane spirit in his childhood, nor did he have such a special physique.

This baby boy was clearly a spiritual herb, and extremely fragile, bringing him here was like holding a hot potato.

”Factory owner, Shuiyu has to follow us!”

Song Heng was also anxious, winking at Chen Xun, hinting that they were out of spirit stones and short on funds. How could they travel the world without a little rich lady!

”What do you mean?!”

Suddenly, Qionghua Shuiyu, Song Heng, and even Little Chi were all looking at him eagerly. Chen Xun raised an eyebrow, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

”Brother Xun, why don’t you raise him for fun when you’re free?”

”Chen Xun... he was born without parents, and Senior Qian Shan entrusted him to you.”

”Factory owner, this is a Dao medicine in human form. If given to others, wouldn’t it be a waste!”

”...You’re actually the Fishing Emperor?!”

...

Four voices sounded simultaneously, all except Gu Lisheng carried a tone of flattery and pleading.

The ancient beast lowered its head, quietly watching the commotion, not even taking a breath, its eyes full of interest. It was actually quite good at raising children; Tai Yu was raised by them together.

If it were allowed to raise him, it wouldn’t mind.

Chen Xun glanced at the ancient beast, understanding its intention, almost blurting out, ”You can forget it...”

You raised Tai Yu to be illiterate, like a country bumpkin, only knowing how to fight, a waste.

He sighed softly, ”Qian Shan really ran away well, damn it, making this Dao Ancestor a father by force...”

Chen Xun didn’t actually blame Qian Shan at all. This matter was now a trivial one for him, something he could settle with a word, which might have been insurmountable in the past.

But this kid was so stubborn, as if he couldn’t repay without doing something significant, never thinking that Chen Xun’s nurturing was a given.

However, this temperament was related to some of Qian Shan’s background.

Their parents were mortals, who passed away early, leaving Qian Shan to shoulder the responsibilities of the family before he was ten, struggling to survive with his brother in the deceitful adult world.

Later, by chance, he stepped onto the immortal path, finally shining a little, with Qian Shan having a Sacred Spirit Root, and his brother possessing a one-in-a-billion Dao Spirit Root!

But due to limited perspective, they didn’t know what this talent represented, nor did they have the foundation or a powerful backing, making them weak prey.

Moreover, Qian Shan was not from the Great World of Taiyi, his brother was forcibly taken away, and he was imprisoned in the Immortal Prison for violating the rules of the grand world, his immortal path exceptionally difficult, with little light.

He even lived worse than someone from the Online Store.

At this moment, Qionghua Shuiyu looked at Chen Xun eagerly, ”Chen Xun, this child...”

”What’s his name?” Chen Xun asked calmly, looking at the baby boy in her arms, ”He looks quite unique, somewhat resembling Qian Shan.”

”Brother Xun, Qian Shan said the child’s information is in the wrapping cloth, only you can check it.”

”I see.”

Chen Xun took a few steps forward, directly approaching Qionghua Shuiyu, gently picking up the jade token left by Qian Shan.

”Goo goo...” The baby boy still couldn’t speak, looking fiercely cute at Chen Xun.

At this moment, a vast divine sense instantly entered Chen Xun’s mind.

”Lord Crossing the World, Qian Shan has disappointed you... This is my brother, Qian Wuhen, he possesses a Dao Spirit Root, was blood-exchanged by the Immortal Spirit Clan using Dao techniques, and has lost all memory.”

”This matter is extremely complicated, Qian Shan only fears implicating you, so he can only inform you this way.”

”The Immortal Spirit Clan is assimilating powerful beings from the grand world, they spared me only as part of their plan, I’m already deeply trapped in the vortex, unable to extricate myself, and can only take the trouble away.”

”But, this matter has nothing to do with the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, nor with you, Lord Crossing the World, I’m overly cautious, please be wary of the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan, and the Immortal Spirit Clan ranked third in the Three Thousand Great Worlds!”

”This time, going far to the Great World of Taiyi, the hope of survival is slim, I can only entrust my brother to the person I trust most in my heart, so I can go to the Great World of Tai Ling without any worries, and fight with all my might.”

”I believe you will not remain silent in the grand world, I will definitely leave useful information, using my meager strength to lend you a helping hand!”

...

The heartfelt voice of divine sense echoed in Chen Xun’s mind, his brows furrowing deeper, and his gentle eyes becoming more profound. Qian Shan usually kept a low profile.

But now, he suddenly dropped a bomb on him, catching him off guard.

Indeed, the nature of living beings is the most unpredictable thing in the world, even immortals cannot see through everything in this world.

Chen Xun’s lips curled slightly, Qian Shan was overthinking, he no longer cared about the Immortal Spirit Clan or any schemes from all sides, he just wanted to live in seclusion and outlast his lifespan.
