Chapter 1359 - Chapter 1359 Chapter Six Hundred Fifty-One Heart Disease

Chapter 1359: Chapter Six Hundred Fifty-One: Heart Disease Chapter 1359: Chapter Six Hundred Fifty-One: Heart Disease “Maybe I should just tell my brother-in-law,”

Yun Xiu said with concern, “Although the god-creation plan is a secret within a secret, he is, after all, your real brother. Shouldn’t we give him some hints? Otherwise, he might get too deeply trapped within the peculiar singularity of the Bitter God Detachment Skill.”

“We mustn’t speak of it, this plan is of great importance, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. Right now, aside from the core members of the Tang Clan at the Marshal Star Pavilion conference and a few others who succeeded later, it must not spread any further,”

Tang Luo shook his head and said, “And this brother of mine, really can’t keep his mouth shut. Telling him would be like making it public. Let’s just let him keep training for now. His thick skin and the care of relatives will ensure he won’t be damaged.”

Boys need to be raised tough so they can withstand reality’s harsh blows. Primitive methods have their advantages, allowing him to withstand any kind of Supreme Divine Soul in the future. Isn’t that, stupidly, a kind of blessing?

Seeing her man’s indifferent demeanor, Yun Xiu shook her head helplessly. Remembering her sister-in-law, who recently came to talk to her about some private matters, she added, “By the way, your sister-in-law has been really preoccupied lately. Don’t you want to help her ease her mind?”

“Nuannuan?” Tang Luo put down his soup bowl, frowning slightly, “What’s wrong with her?”

“What else could be wrong with a girl? Her heart has long been with someone else!”

Yun Xiu covered her mouth and giggled, “Ever since going out in the spring, that Elder Brother Chengyuan of hers has plunged deep into the rigorous practice of swordsmanship and hasn’t accompanied your sister-in-law in sword practice for quite some time.”

“Hmm… is that a problem?”

Tang Luo scratched his head, failing to understand the cause and effect behind it.

Chengyuan is just practicing swordsmanship at home, isn’t that a sign of diligence?

Moreover, martial arts are a very personal matter. If one needs someone to accompany them even for sword practice, what kind of martial arts would that be…

“You blockhead!”

Yun Xiu chided affectionately, “When a girl’s feelings are first stirred, who wouldn’t want to be cherished by their beloved? Although Elder Brother Chengyuan was ambitious before, he used to carve out some time to chat and practice swordsmanship with your sister-in-law. But now, even his every movement, sitting, and sleeping invoke swordsmanship–he even replaces sleep with meditative breath control. How can you not be worried?”

“What’s there to worry about?”

Tang Luo retorted, “He has achieved unity of spirit and intent, replacing sleep with meditation. Many people start doing this from leaving the Mortal Realm–it’s completely fine!”

Truly a love-insensitive martial fanatic, Yun Xiu sighed, “Your sister-in-law can’t bear to see her beloved struggle like this. These days, as Chengyuan focuses on his swordsmanship, Nuannuan has lost her appetite, fearing that he might harm himself.”

“Impossible, what kind of food standard does the Jiejiang City Chief’s residence have!”

Tang Luo waved his hand confidently, “Mother is not a stingy person. Seeing Chengyuan treat him like her own son, she’ll make sure everything’s perfectly arranged. Let him enjoy the fruits. I’m sure, in these few months alone, the Spiritual Food Chengyuan consumes is more than what he had in the past twenty years combined!”

For most martial artists, enhancing one’s physique is three parts training and seven parts diet, but Spiritual Food and Spirit Liquid are not something every major family can afford.

Thus, for most martial artists, cultivation is a taxing affair. It’s normal for the expenditure to exceed replenishment.

Especially for a junior dojo like the Five Absolute Sword Sect, without fame and lacking income, the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Saint has to keep investing to cover the basic expenses.

But the Five Absolute Sword Sect is not a pillar dojo of the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Sect, so you can imagine their treatment.

However, what Yun Xiu wanted to emphasize was not these material supplements, but something more internal.

Reaching a hand across the table and placing it on Tang Luo’s chest, she earnestly said, “If Chengyuan could spend some time with me like you do every day, even if just to share a meal or say a few words, your sister-in-law wouldn’t feel so distressed. She is still young, so it’s natural for her to get caught up in these troubles.”

“What troubles?”

“For instance, in Chengyuan’s heart, who is more important–swordsmanship or her?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

Tang Luo curled his lips, “Sword cultivation is a Dao method that the Human Race has intensively studied for thousands of years. It’s the foundation of the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou, and Xu Chengyuan’s future, dignity, and glory are all tied to the sword in his hands. Isn’t it foolish to even question that?”

“Sometimes women are just that foolish!”

Yun Xiu said dissatisfiedly, “If we were to go by your men’s way of thinking, since martial training is so wonderful, why shouldn’t I ascend to the Nine Heavens? Then I could choose a handsome young man or a dashing hero as I please. Why should I stick to one person and suffer the indignities of teaching children and supporting a husband!”

“Uh… that’s quite a progressive thought…”

Seeing his wife angry, Tang Luo weakly said.

Rolling her eyes, Yun Xiu retorted, “What’s so progressive about that? Isn’t that just a man’s way of thinking, and isn’t that all based on strength? If you turn it around, what’s the difference?”

“That’s not wrong…”

Tang Luo explained, “We were just discussing Little Nuannuan and Xu Chengyuan’s issue, how did the topic deviate to this!”

“It’s all your doing!”

Snorting, Yun Xiu chided as she pushed away his hand that was pleasingly stroking the back of her own, “Take your hand away, I need to collect the dishes!”

“Let me do it!”

Tang Luo, with a fawning face, picked up the bowls and softly suggested, “Look, wife, we are such significant figures; shouldn’t we have some servants at home to attend to us? Leaving tasks like washing dishes and cooking to the servants would be much easier. Why push yourself so hard?”

“If we had servants attending to us, could we still speak so freely?”

Yun Xiu took the bowls and chopsticks from Tang Luo’s hand and swiftly placed them into an empty clay pot, earnestly saying, “If after all that cultivation, we end up nurturing someone who can’t even live properly, then such cultivation is pointless.”

“Wow, that’s quite profound; madam is truly remarkable!”

Tang Luo timely offered his praise.

“I didn’t say that; it was a teaching left by Yun Zu.”

With her back to Tang Luo, Yun Xiu turned her head and smiled, “Cultivation should make us better humans, not gods.”

“I have learned my lesson.”

Tang Luo sincerely said, “Then let me help you with the dishes. You built this house and you cook the meals; it seems a bit unfair if I do nothing…”

“A wife serving her husband is proper, you should rather think about how to cure your sister-in-law of her mental ailment!”

July 15, Ghost Festival

The residence of Jiejiang City Chief

In the open-air cultivation area, numerous sword shadows dominated as a disheveled swordsman danced wildly like a man possessed.

The five-colored sword lights merged into one, resembling the continuous, undulating fine waves between heaven and earth, churning and spinning endlessly.

Not until his spiritual power was depleted did the radiant sword light dissipate, and the long sword clattered to the ground.

The swordsman sat cross-legged, regulating his breath and recovering his energy, his face numb and cold, almost like a dead man.
