Chapter 104 Sending Zhu Honglian Away

Xia Manor - Garden

Currently, Xia Tian along with four women were sitting together in the garden near the pond, he was racking his brains on how to secure Zhu Honglian. Even though he wanted to send her to the Jade Pearl Sect, but he still doubted whether they could protect her or not, because he didn't know for sure the Jade Pearl Sect's strength.

He then spoke to Fan Youling. "Can you take Zhu Honglian to the Jade Pearl Sect for a while, Youling?"

Zhu Honglian looked at Xia Tian in confusion, she was confused as to why Xia Tian arranged for her to go to the Jade Pearl Sect, and why het mother seemed to be following Xia Tian's orders.

"Oh? You want me to take the princess to the Jade Pearl Sect, Young Master Xia?" Fan Youling was surprised by Xia Tian's request, she observed Zhu Honglian for a moment, then looked back at Xia Tian, and said with a smile. "Actually, the princess is very suitable for cultivating in the Jade Pearl Sect, Young Master Xia. If she is willing to join my sect, then I can also recommend her to become a disciple in my sect."

Xia Tian glanced at Zhu Honglian for a moment, then he asked Zhu Yuhe. "What do you think if Honglian becomes a disciple of the Jade Pearl Sect?"

'Why is he talking to mom like a close friend?' In Zhu Honglian's heart, she became more and more suspicious of the two of them, she then looked at her mother who was also looking at her.

"What do you think, Honglian? Do you want to become a disciple of the Jade Pearl Sect?" Zhu Yuhe wanted her daughter to decide for herself, because everyone's cultivation path was their own choice.

Zhu Honglian did not immediately answer her mother, but she observed Zhu Yuhe and Xia Tian's attitude, and she inwardly muttered suspiciously. 'It seems that mother and Xia Tian do have a special relationship, but at the moment I have no concrete evidence of their relationship.'

'',

Before long, Zhu Honglian sighed, and replied. "I don't mind being a Jade Pearl Sect disciple, Mom. After all, I've always cultivated alone, maybe by joining the Jade Pearl Sect, I can grow even better."

Zhu Yuhe smiled in satisfaction at her daughter's decision, then she gently stroked her daughter's hair. 'Sigh, I hope you will do well in the Jade Pearl Sect, Honglian.'

"But why do you guys suddenly want to send the princess away to our sect, Young Master Xia?" Fan Quexian was curious as to why they wanted to Zhu Honglian away to the sect, since almost no royal members had joined the other sects.

"In a month, Hong Chen will attack the Zhu Kingdom, so we must evacuate Honglian first, so that she doesn't get involved in our fight." Xia Tian replied with a nonchalant shrug.

The two elf women were stunned for a moment, they looked at Xia Tian and Zhu Yuhe in turns in surprise, then Fan Youling asked her. "Emperor Hong? You two want to fight Emperor Hong Chen?"

"En, that's him. He's infatuated with Queen Yuhe, and he threatened to force her to become his concubine a month later. So that's why we had to send Honglian away to the Jade Pearl Sect, because her safety is far more important." Even though Xia Tian looked relaxed, but his brain was constantly working on finding a solution to Zhu Yuhe's problem. Because this matter came too soon, and like it or not they had to face Hong Chen.

Fan Quexian laughed softly at that. "Indeed, you Immortal Long Tian, because only he will never back down even if your enemy is very strong, you even saved the 'Elven Nature Realm' from calamity by yourself. No wonder, Aunt Jing is so infatuated with you, Young Master Xia."

Zhu Honglian was shocked to hear Fan Quexian's words, she then looked at Xia Tian deeply, because he looked really different from the Xia Tian in the past, and it made her wonder in her heart. 'Immortal Long Tian? Elven Nature Realm? What exactly are they talking about? But it seems that mom knows a lot about the current Xia Tian.'

"Long Tian is dead, I am now Xia Tian, and I also have to cultivate from scratch again." Xia Tian replied nonchalantly, because he didn't want to continue living in the shadows of his past, and he was now a far cry from his former self.

"But still with your thousands of years of memories, it shouldn't be an obstacle for you to return to the peak, Young Master Xia." Fan Youling joined in their conversation.

'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',

'Thousand years of memories?' Zhu Honglian grew dizzy hearing their conversation, she then glanced at her mother, and she realized that her mother was not surprised at all. And she kept wondering in her heart, she was also more and more convinced that her mother had a special relationship with Xia Tian. 'Do they really have a special relationship?'

"Heh." Xia Tian chuckled as he replied. "It's true that I can cultivate faster with my thousands of years of memories, but it will still take me some time to get back to the peak again."

While they were chatting, Zhou Xuan suddenly appeared in front of them, she then took out some herbs, and handed them to Xia Tian. "I've gathered all the herbs you asked for, Xia Tian."

"En, thank you, Zhou Xuan. Since all the herbs are complete, I will start making the pills right away." Xia Tian was able to recognize the scent of all the herbs instantly, he then said to Fan Youling. "You have returning scrolls, don't you? I want you to take Honglian to the Jade Pearl Sect today, Youling."

Fan Youling nodded, then she said to Fan Quexian. "You can stay here first, Quexian. I will bring the princess straight back to the sect right now."

She immediately grabbed Zhu Honglian's hand, before Zhu Honglian could say anything else, Fan Youling had already activated the returning scroll, and in an instant the two of them disappeared from the garden.

"You can go back to the palace first, Sister Xuan. And please watch over everyone, I will start my seclusion today, and I only came out a month later." Zhu Yuhe instructed Zhou Xuan, and she nodded in agreement with Zhu Yuhe. Zhou Xuan then immediately returned to the palace, because she felt that Hong Chen's men were watching them.

Xia Tian immediately took Zhu Yuhe to the Ancient Realm, he didn't want to waste time, because their enemy was the Emperor of the southern continent, and he was really strong.
