Chapter 216: I Want To Go To The Capital of Great Xia Dynasty and Ask For An Explanation

Su Changyu was a little dumbstruck.

He originally thought that Taishang Xuanji had just sent some ordinary treasures.

He didn’t expect the boxes to contain clothes.

Besides, the clothes were all very precious.

‘Ah… Who can stand this?’

Su Changyu coughed and then looked at everyone.

“Um, you guys just said that if I don’t accept these gifts, you will be punished, right?”

Su Changyu said calmly.

As soon as he said that, everyone couldn’t help but nod although they didn’t know what Su Changyu was trying to do.

However, someone frantically answered, “Yes, Lord Su, if you don’t accept these gifts, we really won’t be able to explain.”

They seemed despondent.

“Okay, heaven is kind. Besides, it’s been hard on you guys along the way. If I don’t accept these gifts and cause you guys to get reprimanded, it’ll be my fault.”

“Leave the things behind and go back.”

Su Changyu had a composed gaze.

However, as soon as he said that, everyone was overjoyed. They were initially already ready to go back and face their punishment, but to their surprise, Su Changyu suddenly changed his mind, which was to their joy.

“Lord Su, please count the boxes. There should be a total of thirty-two boxes, of which Lord Xuanji said, twelve are yours. The remaining twenty boxes are for your Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters.”

Those words made Su Changyu shocked.

He didn’t expect Taishang Xuanji to have prepared gifts for his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters too. He had indeed… thought things through very thoroughly.

“Okay, you guys may go back.”

After counting the boxes, Su Changyu nodded and asked them to get going.

The latter didn’t stay either. They simply bowed to Su Changyu before leaving one after another.

After they left, Su Changyu stared at the 32 boxes and fell silent again.

He was a little upset because he felt that he didn’t have any backbone.

If he could be won over by a few pieces of clothing, he would really have no backbone.

However, despite those negative feelings, Su Changyu nevertheless opened the box and checked them one by one.

Indeed, there was a piece of clothing in every box, of which each was a different design. Besides, the quality of each clothing was extremely superior too.

Regardless of the material or craftsmanship, the clothing was several times better than the one he was wearing now.

That made Su Changyu very vexed and distressed.

However, he was a little curious about the origin of Taishang Xuanji because those clothes were made in the imperial palace.

‘How did he get imperial clothing? Is he a major court official?’

Su Changyu didn’t understand either. At this moment, Daoist Tai Hua appeared.

“Changyu, how come there are so many boxes?”

Daoist looked at the boxes on the ground curiously after he walked over.

“Sect Leader, it was sent by Old Xuan.”

Da Xu answered on Su Changyu’s behalf.

‘Old Xuan?’

Hearing Da Xu’s words, Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but frown slightly.

He then said, “Changyu, I don’t mean anything else but if he sends you gifts again in the future, you should consider which ones to keep and which ones not to.”

“The Qingyun Dao Sect might be poor but we’re not poor to the extent of having to accept everything.”

“No amount of jewelry or gold can compensate for anything.”

Daoist Tai Hua sighed and said as he dissuaded Su Changyu again.

After all, in Daoist Tai Hua’s eyes, Taishang Xuanji was basically confirmed to be Su Changyu’s father.

Hence, the gifts that Taishang Xuanji sent could be considered a form of compensation but Daoist Taishang Xuanji felt that there was no point in it.

However, Da Xu interjected.

“Sect Leader, it’s not jewelry but some clothes.”

Da Xu did not know what was going on and what happened in between. He was just a little curious.

“Clothing? I was wondering what he gave you. Changyu, I know you like clothes but you shouldn’t be won over with just a few pieces of clothing. If you’d like, I’ll take you down the mountain to buy a few.”

Daoist Tai Hua sneered.

“No, Master, these clothes seem to be very expensive and the craftsmanship is fine too.”

Da Xu continued to answer. He had checked the boxes just now. Although Da Xu didn’t know much about robes, he knew that these clothes here were definitely expensive.

“Very expensive? How expensive can it be? A few hundred taels of gold? Or a few thousand taels of gold?”

Daoist Tai Hua was cynical. At the same time, he walked towards Su Changyu.

“They are products made in the imperial palace and each one is worth a few million Spirit Stones.”

However, at this moment, Su Changyu spoke up. He was unclear of the true value of these clothing.

He could only give an approximation.

Daoist Tai Hua suddenly fell silent.

‘Huh?’

‘What do you mean?’

‘Millions of Spirit Stones?’

‘A piece of clothing is worth a million Spirit Stones?’

Daoist Tai Hua froze on the spot, feeling as if he was a shallow frog in the well.

However, he soon spoke up.

“Is there any for me?”

Da Xu was speechless.

Su Changyu was speechless.

It was nighttime.

The sky was as dark as ink.

On the front cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.

Su Changyu was dressed in new clothes. It was a long green robe with a long dragon embroidered on it and golden edges. The words “White cloud and Golden Dragon” were embroidered at the bottom.

The robe would attract countless attention regardless of who wore it.

When Su Changyu wore it, he looked unique.

He stood under the cliff.

The stars in the sky seem to revolve around Su Changyu. He was too suave and elegant, so much that everyone was shocked.

However, his face was unforgettable to the women of the world.

Moreover, Su Changyu seemed rather solemn now.

He had been thinking about his identity before, but he did that because he didn’t believe what his master said. After all, his master’s divination skills were inferior and he had witnessed it before.

However, he didn’t expect it to be exactly like what his Master said.

What made Su Changyu even more uncomfortable was that he clearly wanted to decline, but when he saw the palace-made clothing, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

He was really an indecisive man.

That was probably his only flaw.

Now that he had come back to his senses, Su Changyu understood that he had to come to a decision.

Yes, he had to make a decision

Since he accepted the gifts from Taishang Xuanji, the latter would probably send more, and by then, it would be hard to make things right.

Hence, Su Changyu made up his mind.

He would go to the Great Xia Dynasty and look for Taishang Xuanji.

After making up his mind, Su Changyu turned around and left the front cliff to go to the main hall to see Daoist Tai Hua.

In the main hall, Daoist Tai Hua was looking at his robe and grinning constantly.

When he saw Su Changyu, Daoist Tai Hua instantly retracted his adoring gaze and turned to look at Su Changyu.

“Changyu, what’s the matter?”

Full of curiosity, Daoist Tai Hua looked at Su Changyu, unsure of why he was there.

“Master, I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I plan to go to the Great Xia Dynasty.”

Su Changyu said calmly.

After hearing that, Daoist Tai Hua didn’t seem surprised.

“Are you ready?”

Daoist Tai Hua asked.

“Master, I’ve already thought about it carefully.”

“I’m going to go to the Great Xia Dynasty and find out what happened.”

Su Changyu nodded. He had already thought it through. He had to go to the Great Xia Dynasty and find out the truth.

If not, he could not feel at ease.

Daoist Tai Hua also couldn’t help but nod after hearing that.

“Okay, then you go ahead, I will support you no matter what.”

Daoist Tai Hua nodded as he approved of Su Changyu’s decision.

However, he couldn’t help but speak up at this moment.

“Do you really support my position?”

Su Changyu asked.

“Of course, you’re my first disciple. Of course I support you.”

Daoist Tai Hua was a little curious as he didn’t understand why Su Changyu asked that question.

“Master, I need some money for this trip.”

Su Changyu fell silent too.

That was why he was there.

“Money?”

Daoist Tai Hua’s expression changed when Su Changyu mentioned it.

“Don’t you have silver? Why are you still asking me for money?”

Daoist Tai Hua was easy-going about everything except money.

“Master, what can I do with these taels of silver? I’m going to the Great Xia Dynasty this time from the Jin Nation Capital’s Teleportation Array, you should at least give me tens of thousands of taels of gold.”

Su Changyu had some silver, but ever since Ye Ping came to the Qingyun Dao Sect, the standards of living in the sect had improved greatly.

In the beginning, they could not even come up with any silver, but now, each one of them had dozens of taels of gold.

However, the cost of going to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty was high.

“Tens of thousands of taels of gold? You’re being very greedy, huh? Do I look like I have that much money”?

Daoist Tai Hua was dumbfounded.

What was the concept of tens of thousands of taels of gold? Although Ye Ping had improved the overall financial status of the entire Qingyun Dao Sect, the problem was that the Qingyun Dao Sect had just been renovated. How could they have so many taels of gold?

“That’s the minimum. Master, I can’t keep flying all the way on the sword either.”

“Doesn’t the Teleportation Array need money? I can scrimp on food and drinks, but the amount needed for the Teleportation Array is not a small sum.”

Su Changyu was a little perplexed.

As long as money was mentioned, his master would react differently.

However, Su Changyu made sense too. He could save on food and accommodation but not on the cost needed for the Teleportation Array.

“10,000 taels of gold is as much as I can give you. A single teleportation from the capital of Jin Nation to the Great Xia Dynasty will require 8,000 taels of gold. Don’t you like flying? You may use the Sword Kinesis Flight to return to the capital.”

“Just use the Sword Kinesis Flight.”

Daoist Tai Hua’s budget was very tight and 10,000 taels of gold was just enough.

He really couldn’t afford to give him more.

“10,000? What about the trip back?”

Su Changyu asked.

“You definitely have to get money from him for the trip back. He’s already given you clothes that are worth millions of Spirit Stones. Why would he care for 10,000 taels of gold or 2,000 Spirit Stones?”

Daoist Tai Hua said righteously.

However, he made sense. That meager amount of Spirit Stones should be peanuts to Taishang Xuanji who had already given him so many expensive clothes.

“Sure, give me the money now.”

Su Changyu didn’t say much. Anyway, he had gotten used to being poor since he was a child and having 10,000 to 20,000 taels of gold would be enough for him.

“Changyu, you have to remember, I’m not being stingy and it’s not that I can’t bear to part with my money either. It’s just that we don’t have much.”

“Look, your biological father is so wealthy. Of course the clothes that he gave you are worth millions of Spirit Stones, the problem is that they’re peanuts to him.”

“However, to me, 10,000 to 20,000 taels of gold are all that I have. You have to understand relativity.”

Daoist Tai Hua said while taking out the money, trying to give Su Changyu advice.

Su Changyu also understood. He didn’t think that there was anything wrong. After all, he didn’t care about money. Clothes were alright.

“Okay, Master, I understand.”

Su Changyu nodded and then took ten banknotes, each of which was worth at least one to two thousand taels of gold.

With the money in hand, Su Changyu left resolutely.

However, at this moment, Daoist Tai Hua suddenly spoke.

“But, Changyu, there is one thing I still want to remind you.”

“If things are really as I guessed, you have to consider it carefully. Don’t ruin someone’s family.”

“You have to consider that your appearance might affect others.”

“Also, he’s still your father after all, do you understand?”

Daoist Tai Hua’s words made Su Changyu stunned.

He understood what Daoist Tai Hua meant and he immediately nodded and said, “Master, I understand.”

After saying these words, Su Changyu turned around and left.

Su Changyu soon left the cliff.

After a while, Daoist Tai Hua, who was on the cliff, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“Good.”

‘I’ve finally sent Su Changyu away.’

‘There won’t be a fire in the Qingyun Dao Sect anymore.’

“Good.”

‘Very good.’

Just like that, time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

It was just dawn.

In the Baiyun Ancient City.

Xu Luochen opened his eyes.

He had a look of confidence.

He slowly walked towards the alchemy assessment venue.

Xu Luochen was very confident about passing the assessment this time.

If the examiner had been anyone else, Xu Luochen would not have shown such confidence.

However, the examiner was his Junior Brother so he was entirely confident of passing the assessment.

He reached the venue of the assessment in Baiyun Ancient City.

It was on a large open space venue in the southwest corner of the ancient city.

There were already several alchemy cauldrons in the air.

The Baiyun Ancient City prepared 108 alchemy cauldrons for the cultivators who could not afford the cauldrons.

If one brought their own cauldrons, they could look for an empty spot.

At this moment…

The assessment venue was already very crowded.

There were 300 to 400 participating cultivators, most of whom were there as spectators.

“Brother Xu, Brother Xu.”

“Brother Luochen, is what you said yesterday true or not?”

“Brother Xu, why are you so confident? Did you secretly go to your Junior Brother behind our backs?”

“Brother Xu, just help us and put in a word for us in front of your Junior Brother. If we pass this time, we’ll treat you to the latest tea in town. How does that sound?”

After Xu Luochen appeared, dozens of people surrounded him.

They all seemed extremely agitated as they begged Xu Luochen for help.

They were still a little flustered as they were questioning Xu Luochen’s words yesterday.

“Everyone, trust me, as I said, I guarantee that you will pass if you follow what I told you to do.”

Xu Luochen said earnestly.

“Okay, it’s going to begin in an hour. Go get prepared, if you really can’t pass, I’ll go to my Junior Brother. How does that sound?”

Seeing that there was only an hour to go, Xu Luochen did not want to delay any longer and hence said those words.

Only then did they let Xu Luochen off.

“Okay, Brother Xu.”

“Brother Xu please.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his reply.

Soon, at the assessment venue, Xu Luochen was slightly stunned.

In an instant, a dazzling ray of light almost blinded them.
