Chapter 568 Crying for the Wrong Person
Xie Sanshen was at a loss.
Just then, his servant came from outside and said, "Madam, sir, young master, the head of the family has sent someone to invite the young master over for a talk."
Xie Yinglu immediately stopped crying and looked at Xie Sanshen with concern.
Xie Sanshen took a deep breath: "Mother, Grandfather, I'll be right back."
Xie Chengxun: "Be careful when dealing with your father, and don't let him know what we're saying here."
Xie Sanshen nodded: "Yes, I understand."
Xie Yuanchen's men arrived quickly and left just as quickly.
When Xie Sanshen rushed over, Xie Yuanchen stood with his hands behind his back, looking out at the greenery, seemingly lost in thought.
"Father."
The call made Xie Yuanchen turn around and look at his first child with a complicated expression.
He was not without feelings for Xie Yinglu.
But he needs a more powerful wife's family.
To secure Xie Sanjue's position, he deliberately spoiled Shen'er.
He was heartbroken that he had raised his son to be a failure.
Therefore, she always taught Jue'er to be kind to her elder brother, so as to at least ensure his lifelong wealth and honor.
To his utter surprise, all his plans for Jue'er came to nothing in the end.
Looking at Xie Sanshen, whose features bore a slight resemblance to his own, Xie Yuanchen finally suppressed his fatherly feelings and made up his mind.
"Shen'er, I heard you just came from your maternal grandfather and your mother's place."
Unaware of Xie Yuanchen's purpose, Rong Xuan wisely kept her mouth shut and remained silent.
Seeing his appearance, Xie Yuanchen grew even more displeased.
Compared to his father, Xie Sanshen was clearly closer to Xie Chengxun and his daughter.
"I called you here because I have something to tell you."
"Your maternal grandfather should have mentioned the next head of the family."
"Qian Jue is currently cultivating with the Ancestor in the forbidden area, and they are short of someone to serve them."
Rong Xuan was overjoyed, thinking that Xie Qianjue had found a way to call him over, but when he thought of Jiuhuang being by his side, which was extremely dangerous, he became uneasy.
"Huh? Father, all these years I've only ever been served by others, never the other way around."
Xie Yuanchen used both threats and inducements, saying, "If you go there and get closer to Qian Jue, you'll be on good terms with the next family head."
"Moreover, if you can win the favor of the Ancestor, you might be accepted as his disciple."
Rong Xuan had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Xie Sanshen reluctantly replied, "Then I will listen to my father."
Xie Yuanchen immediately packed up his silly, simple-minded son and sent him to the forbidden area.
They waited for Xie Sanshen for a long time in the west courtyard, but he didn't return. After inquiring, they found out where Xie Sanshen had gone.
Upon further inquiry, Xie Yinglu fainted upon hearing Xie Qianjue's outrageous statement that he "appreciated men."
That damned Xie Yuanchen, he doesn't even spare his own son!
The forbidden area of the Xie family.
Xie Qianjue followed the aged figure ahead through the chaotic mist and saw the jade dragon pendant imprisoned in the center of the forbidden area.
Without even looking closely, Xie Qianjue recognized that the material used to carve the dragon pendant was the same as the scraps he had collected.
The Xie family actually carved the light core of the Heavenly Spirit Domain into the shape of a jade pendant.
I don't know if it can be combined with the other three pieces.
"This is the dragon pendant of our Xie family," the Nine Desolate Ancestor said slowly.
"Because the spirit within this jade pendant is a dragon, it is called the Dragon Pendant."
"Try to see if you can awaken the spirit within."
Earlier, Xie Qianjue dripped blood onto the fragments of the dragon pendant, and the dragon shadow in the forbidden area reacted strongly, which is why it rushed to Xie Qianjue's side immediately.
He was unaware that the fragments of the Dragon Pendant contained residual power and could even interact with the Dragon Pendant itself to recognize its master.
If they had known, they would have sealed the dragon pendant and the dragon pendant together in the forbidden area.
Xie Qianjue guessed that the spirit of the dragon pendant that Jiuhuang mentioned might be the same as Jiu Meng.
He tried to send a telepathic message to Long Pei, but Long Pei did not respond.
Jiuhuang was not surprised. He had suppressed the Dragon Pendant for a thousand years, so he naturally knew the spirit's temperament.
It would be a miracle if Xie Qianjue could summon people so easily.
Xie Qianjue probed, "What is the origin of this dragon pendant? I was born in the countryside, my parents died early, and I had no one to teach me many things."
"I heard someone say that they were going to the Xie family to participate in some kind of family trial. I vaguely remembered that my father once mentioned that he was from the Xie family, so I thought I would try my luck."
Xie Qianjue's words were full of errors if examined closely, but Jiuhuang ignored them.
He slowly said, "Back then, my Xie family obtained a celestial artifact called the Sun and Moon Shuttle from a weapon cultivator."
"This treasure can travel to the other three realms."
Xie Qianjue exclaimed in surprise, "What? There are three realms too?"
Nine Desolations: "Heaven and earth are black and yellow, humans, demons, ghosts and monsters, the four domains and four realms are for the balance of the Heavenly Dao."
"Back then, our ancestors joined forces with four other families, intending to expand into the other three regions and work together to create a glorious future for the human race."
"Who would have thought that our ancestor would be killed in battle and the treasure would be lost in the outer realms and its whereabouts would be unknown. The other four families also resented our Xie clan because of the loss of their elites."
Such righteous indignation—if Xie Qianjue hadn't personally visited Huangling Domain and witnessed the devastation the Xue family had caused there, he might have actually believed it.
That's not about uniting the human race for glory; it's clearly about the Heavenly Spirit Domain running out of land to divide, so they're taking their underlings out to seize territory.
"Since then, for some reason, the precognitive talent passed down through generations of my Xie family has been completely lost."
"The head of the family at that time obtained this celestial stone by chance, personally carved it into the shape of a jade pendant, and then sacrificed himself to it, hoping to use this dragon pendant to reverse the fate of the family."
"You are the one chosen by the Dragon Pendant. You will surely awaken the family's talent and restore the Xie family's former glory!"
Jiuhuang spoke with great emotion, and Xie Qianjue played along, saying, "Since the Ancestor has placed such high hopes on me, I should naturally not refuse!"
Jiuhuang nodded in satisfaction, took out a jade slip from his sleeve, and tossed it to Xie Qianjue.
"You should familiarize yourself with the contents of the jade slip over these three days. After three days, I will add it to your family genealogy."
"When you have mastered the cultivation technique on this jade slip, that will be the time for you to ascend to the position of family head."
Xie Qianjue had just taken the jade slip and hadn't even had a chance to look at it closely when a commotion came from outside the forbidden area.
Then Xie Yuanchen's voice came from outside the forbidden area: "Yuanchen greets the Ancestor! I wonder if the Ancestor could introduce Brother Xie to me?"
Jiuhuang was just about to ask Xie Yuanchen to send over the remaining fragments of the Dragon Pendant.
So he said, "Come in."
Two figures emerged from the array of light.
Xie Qianjue was taken aback when he saw Xie Sanshen behind Xie Yuanchen.
Oh no! He was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect Xie Yuanchen to be so ruthless as to send Rong Xuan here.
We absolutely cannot let Jiuhuang see any flaws!
