Chapter 1403 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
After wandering around this somewhat desolate land, Xu Shan and Azhen returned to the mountain's interior and explored its various spaces.
Those boxes were filled with gold and silver treasures, all kinds of books and artifacts, weapons and martial arts manuals...
Because paper is not easy to preserve, the books left by the Xu family ancestors were all made of bamboo slips, and were produced using special methods, so the writing is very clear. Some more important information was even recorded on copper plates, for fear that any damage would prevent future generations from seeing them.
Xu Shan marveled at his ancestors' thoughtfulness. He first learned about the origin story of the Xu family, and then silently began to look through the bamboo slips and bronze tablets.
This took up most of the day; the two of them ate some fruit and the dry rations they had brought with them.
The Xu family ancestors didn't leave many words for their descendants. They just hoped that one day the Xu family would be known to the world, that their deeds would be passed down, and that their descendants would be able to use these things to fulfill their own wishes.
"Zhen'er, Daddy's going to hunt a chicken. We'll have roast chicken later," Xu Shan said. Only then did he realize he was a little hungry. He looked at Zhen with some guilt, realizing he had been so engrossed in watching her that he had neglected his daughter.
Azhen said, "Okay, Dad, I'll study this illusion array first. When we leave, we can rearrange it to put our minds at ease."
Xu Shan was already used to his daughter's learning ability and said happily, "Okay, you can study first. Dad will go hunt chickens and pick some fruit."
Xu Shan quickly walked out. Azhen was indeed researching the illusion array, but she planned to modify the Xu family's illusion array to make it suitable for this world, and so that no one could force their way in.
One of the client's wishes was to protect the things left behind by the Xu family's ancestors, wasn't it?
Xu Shan was clearly not a greedy person; he probably wouldn't use these things much. At most, he might be interested in the martial arts manuals and weapons. The gold and silver treasures would mostly be passed down, perhaps one day Xu's descendants would actually need them.
Ah Zhen rested her chin on her hand. To be precise, of all the descendants of the Xu family that she knew of, only Xu Shan remained.
I wonder if Xu Shan is keen on remarrying. If so, should we urge him to?
【Host, you…】997 was speechless.
Azhen replied calmly, "While respecting his wishes, we can gently urge him a little. Xu Shan is only around thirty, still young. In some worlds, he probably wouldn't even be married yet."
Indeed, 997 remains silent.
If this were a more feudal world, rather than a martial arts world, people probably wouldn't worry about Xu Shan remarrying. After all, in a feudal world, single men are not common.
The world of martial arts is different; there are countless heroes who live their entire lives alone, as if they are just following a trend.
Among these heroes, some remained single for life, becoming respected elders in the eyes of younger generations in the martial arts world, while others were drawn back into the martial arts world due to various events, with less than favorable outcomes.
Xu Shan returned carrying a prepared chicken; Azhen had already modified the illusion array.
“Father, I will rearrange the illusion array first thing tomorrow morning,” Azhen said.
Xu Shan asked, "You figured it out so quickly?"
The illusion array was recorded by Xu's ancestors on a copper plate. He recognized all the characters, but he was a little confused when he put them together. He, Xu Shan, could actually give birth to such a smart daughter. He must have done too many good deeds in his past life.
“Yes, it’s very simple,” A-Zhou said.
Anyway, Xu Shan had already gotten used to her talent, and Azhen didn't intend to hide it from her.
After eating, Xu Shan and Azhen went to look at the room filled with weapons and martial arts manuals, intending to choose a suitable weapon.
Upon closer inspection, Xu Shancai discovered that there were quite a few weapons here, all of which were quite good, even comparable to the Heaven-Asking Blade. However, they had been stored for too long, and needed to be processed before they could be reused.
As it happens, Azhen is good at these things.
With readily available tools, Ah-Zhu began to process the weapon after selecting a suitable one.
Seeing that Xu Shan had returned with four more weapons, A-Zhuang had some guesses in her mind.
Sure enough, Xu Shan said, "After the turmoil of Tianwen Questioning is over, I will take these four weapons out. Two of them will be returned to Master Shen, one will be for your senior brother, and the other will be for Brother Yan."
Shen Linsu lost two precious weapons because of him, and now that he has them, he must return them.
Yan Rugo was a very good friend of his, and in that situation, she went to all the trouble of taking him to the Yan family; he was definitely grateful. The other party's weapon was a folding fan, and coincidentally, there was a folding fan here, which was perfect.
His own eldest disciple certainly couldn't be missing.
Xu Shan wasn't one to rush things, and he knew it wasn't wise to reveal too much at this time to avoid trouble. In fact, he didn't plan to return to this place anytime soon. The martial world was far from peaceful; he'd better wait until things calmed down.
In addition, he also needs to further improve his martial arts skills.
And with his exceptionally talented daughter, in another ten years, they will be absolutely invincible in the martial arts world. At that time, even if people know about this place and have ulterior motives, they will not dare to act recklessly.
Of course, he had no intention of revealing this place unless absolutely necessary.
As for the ancestors' instructions to spread the Xu family's deeds, there are plenty of ways to do so.
A-Zhuang was still satisfied to see that Xu Shan was still being cautious.
Most people would find it hard to resist having so many treasures in their possession.
Three days later, Azhen completed the illusion array.
Xu Shan even tried it out briefly and ended up in a very messy state. Even though he didn't understand it, he knew that the illusion array had become much more powerful, which put him at ease.
Afterwards, he and Azhen went down the mountain.
Instead of going straight back to the Xu family, he planned to take Azhen to travel around the martial world and broaden her horizons. When they returned, he would visit the Yi family and bring Chu Yanzhi back with him.
At that moment, guests arrived at the Yi family's residence.
When the Yi family saw the person in front of them, who had brought generous gifts, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak after learning the person's identity.
He was being somewhat willful; his daughter, whom he had only recently divorced, already had someone come to propose marriage so quickly. Moreover, the person proposing marriage was no ordinary person; he was none other than Shen Linsu, the mysterious owner of Peach Blossom Manor.
Seeing that it was impossible for his daughter to marry Xu Shan, the head of the Yi family originally thought that after a while, he would find a good match for his daughter. After all, she was still young and couldn't just live like this for the rest of her life.
Even if she's a bit willful sometimes, she's still his daughter. What can he do about her willfulness, no matter how angry he is?
"Master Shen, may I discuss this with my daughter?" If this marriage can be arranged, it would naturally be a good thing.
But he knew his daughter's temperament; unless he liked her, he would make enemies rather than marry her.
He should ask her; if his daughter is unwilling, there's nothing he can do to force her.
This is the owner of Peach Blossom Manor; we can't afford to offend him easily.
“Alright, no rush, we’ll follow Miss Yi’s wishes,” Shen Linsu said.
When Yi Xiaolan returned home, she found some extra things in the house, which seemed a bit strange.
Upon learning that Shen Linsu had actually come to propose marriage, she was both surprised and delighted.
She originally thought that even if they divorced, she might not have a chance with Shen Linsu anymore, since she couldn't just shamelessly cling to him.
Unexpectedly, Shen Linsu came to propose marriage.
Is this the time for their destiny to come?
"Dad, I'll think about it," Yi Xiaolan said.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Yi family knew that Yi Xiaolan had this idea; otherwise, she would have already had these things returned.
He was still very happy; after all, that was the owner of Peach Blossom Manor.
“Master Shen is a good person, think it over carefully,” said the Yi family head.
Yi Xiaolan said, "Of course I know that, after all, he helped me back then."
The Yi family head had heard about that incident, but didn't know the specifics. Regardless, Shen Linsu had helped, so it's no wonder his daughter wasn't resentful. (End of Chapter)
