Chapter 883: Indifference

Li Xingci’s expression turned serious as he looked at the man and asked, "What happened over there?"

"Someone at the Mingyou Pavilion has offered a sky-high bounty of 1 million Immortal Jade for your senior brother’s life," the man replied.

"Any idea who placed the bounty?"

"Don’t overthink it; it’s likely one of your senior brother’s rivals."

"Princess Mu Dai is the daughter of the Wood Thunder Saint, after all. Many true immortals with powerful backing are secretly vying for her attention."

"It’s easy to narrow it down; it’s probably one of those families," the man said with a smirk. He was just here to gather information and enjoy the drama.

"Let’s meet every two days in the Path of Reincarnation to keep me updated," Li Xingci suggested.

"Honestly, it’s not necessary. Your senior brother rarely shows his face, especially now that he’s wanted," the man countered.

"I’ll throw in an extra 500 Immortal Jade."

"Deal~"

Without another word, the man vanished back to his own world after delivering the news.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan, who was busy crafting artifacts in the Hidden Spirit Sect, heard the news and chuckled.

"That’s to be expected. It’s like a poor boy getting involved with a rich girl; the wealthy suitors are bound to cause trouble."

"A bounty of 1 million Immortal Jade isn’t a big deal. Your senior brother can handle it," Xu Fan said, continuing his Qi Refinement.

"But what if…" Li Xingci still felt uneasy.

"Relax. No true immortal has the strength to take on this task, and no Golden Immortal in their right mind would dare cross a Great Luo Sage," Xu Fan said calmly.

"Still, since they dared to put a bounty on my disciple, I’ll have to have a word with them."

"When are you meeting your contact in the Path of Reincarnation? I’ll head to the Immortal Realm to check things out," Xu Fan said, finishing the celestial tool he was working on.

"In two days," Li Xingci replied.

"Alright, I’ll join you then."

Two days later, in the Path of Reincarnation, Li Xing Chi met with the ordinary-looking man again.

"No new updates; your senior brother hasn’t left home," the man said, unaware of the small seed that had slipped into the back of his head.

Li Xingci nodded.

After their conversation, the man returned to the Wood Origin Immortal Realm.

Suddenly, the seed embedded in the man’s soul began to sprout.

"So this is the Immortal Realm; it’s just as I imagined," the man thought, curiously extending his perception to explore his surroundings.

At that moment, he felt a slight disturbance in his soul but quickly suppressed it.

"Don’t resist. Once I’m done, I’ll reward you and return your body," the man muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, in the secret realm of celestial spirits, Wang Xiangchi’s communication artifact suddenly chimed.

"I can even receive messages in the Immortal Realm!"

Wang Xiangchi, slightly surprised, pulled out his communication artifact, and his expression quickly shifted from surprise to joy.

"Master has come to the Immortal Realm to see me!" Wang Xiangchi exclaimed with excitement.

He then found Mu Dai.

"Dear, my master has come to the Immortal Realm to see us!"

Mu Dai paused for a moment and then regained her composure.

"The benefactor has arrived? Quickly invite him over!"

Soon, Xu Fan received a message from Wang Xiangchi.

An ordinary-looking man entered Mu Dai’s secret realm of celestial spirits.

"Is this right? This is how the Immortal Realm should look," the man smiled while enjoying the celestial energy of the secret realm.

"Master, what brings you here…" Wang Xiangchi asked.

Hearing his tone, Wang Xiangchi instantly knew it was his master.

"I missed you, so I borrowed someone else’s body to come and see you," Xu Fan said with a smile, then glanced at Mu Dai beside Wang Xiangchi.

"During this time, thank you for taking care of my disciple."

"I am Wang Xiangchi’s wife, so it’s only natural," Mu Dai replied, looking at Xu Fan with warmth.

This man was not only her husband’s master but also her lifesaver.

"Master, you didn’t come here because you heard I was wanted, did you?" Wang Xiangchi asked, already aware of the news when he became a target.

The man nodded and said, "I knew it was fine, but just to be safe, I had to come and check on you."

"My disciple has troubled you," Wang Xiangchi said, lowering his head in shame.

"It’s boring to stay at the sect; I also wanted to enjoy some scenery in the Immortal Realm," the man said with a laugh.

"You are now re-cultivating swordsmanship, and your talents have improved significantly. The original techniques and methods are no longer suitable for you." The man then took out several jade plates.

"From now on, focus on practicing these methods."

Wang Xiangchi took the jade plates.

Later, Mu Dai prepared a meal for Wang Xiangchi, that man, and herself before leaving the space for the master and disciple.

"Have you met your Great Luo Saint father-in-law yet?" the man asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Wang Xiangchi’s expression turned bitter.

"I haven’t met him, but he knows of my existence and occasionally asks Dai’er to send me some things."

The man patted Wang Xiangchi’s shoulder seriously and said, "You’ll have to endure some discomfort for now, allowing your master and your two disciples the space to thrive."

"Eventually, he will know that today you ignore me, but tomorrow I’ll make you regret it."

Xu Fan suddenly recalled a famous saying from his past life and couldn’t help but laugh.

Hearing his master’s words, Wang Xiangchi also smiled.

"Master, I will definitely work hard, and in the future, I won’t embarrass you," Wang Xiangchi said earnestly.

"Hard work in cultivation is necessary," the man said with a smile.

"Seeing you so happy here makes me feel at ease."

"I have a little business to take care of, so I won’t stay longer," the man said as Wang Xiangchi accompanied him out of the secret realm of celestial spirits.

Three days later, Wang Xiangchi was astonished to find that the bounty on him had been lifted. Furthermore, there was an additional layer of security placed on him, preventing anyone from putting a bounty on him.

"Master, how did you pull that off?" Wang Xiangchi asked in awe as he sent a message.

"I placed a curse on them: if you die, they must die too," the man replied before his soul traversed into the Path of Reincarnation.

At that moment, Xu Fan, who was refining artifacts while watching a show with Number One and Number Two, began to laugh.

"A group of young leaders from the great powers of the Immortal Realm dared to target my disciple’s wife; they’re simply asking for trouble."

"That seed has returned from the Immortal Realm! Tell us what news you’ve brought back," Number Two asked curiously.

"I just went to check on Wang Xiangchi and helped him handle a small problem," Xu Fan said happily.

"In my opinion, you should just let Wang Xiangchi take it easy; with you as his master and your two amazing disciples, he won’t need to worry."

"Even if he doesn’t cultivate in the future, he’ll still be among the top of the world," Number Two added with a chuckle.

"Master is impressive, and the disciple is skilled; I also need to have some level of competence; otherwise, others will not respect me," Number One chimed in.
