Chapter 2212 - 2217: Wandering
"Envoy Bai is absolutely right. Since the Empress has already agreed, Chairman Xia, you don't need to worry."Su Mu also had complete faith in the Empress.
After all, she was the number one expert in the entire Cultivation Realm.
She had established her imperial rule in the Central Continent more than a thousand years ago.
Back then, countless experts from the Cultivation Realm came to challenge her.
Among them, there was no lack of experts from the Long Family.
Yet without exception, all of them were miserably taught a lesson by the Empress.
A thousand years had passed, and the Empress's strength had become even more terrifying.
Even when facing the Long Family, as long as she wished.
She could "educate" them in minutes.
"Alright! With the seals of you two seniors, I naturally have nothing to worry about."
Xia Liu didn't want to explain anything.
Because it wasn't just them.
Every Cultivator in the Cultivation Realm had been deceived by the Empress's pure White Lotus Incarnation.
Unless Bai Jue personally stepped out, the Empress would never be exposed.
"Right, Chairman Xia, when did the Alliance say you should go to the Eastern Realm to take over?"
Su Mu asked.
"I'm not sure. Maybe we still have to wait for a while. After all, the former chairman still has some matters to deal with."
Thinking of Ma Tian, Xia Liu couldn't help finding it all a bit funny.
At the Central Continent Alliance headquarters, he had actually openly declared that the Long Family was stronger than the Alliance.
To say that in front of countless Central Continent experts and prodigies, and in front of the Empress herself—if that wasn't seeking death, what was?
"That's fine too. You've only just arrived in the Central Continent not long ago. If you suddenly have to go to the Eastern Realm, you'll definitely find it hard to get used to."
"Mm, thank you for your concern, Chairman Su."
...
The three of them chatted for a while, then soon went about their own business.
As the Northern Realm Alliance Chairman, Su Mu had many things to handle in the Central Continent.
The Northern Realm Alliance Envoy was the same.
Xia Liu returned to his room.
He had his own plans.
After he prepared a few things.
He would temporarily leave the Alliance headquarters.
And go take a look around the various regions of the Central Continent.
If possible, he wanted to go and see the Empress's power base.
Xia Liu had the Apprentices in the courtyard find him multicolored ink and a few sheets of high-quality white paper.
At night, under the peaceful lamplight, the white paper began to gain color stroke by stroke under Xia Liu's brush.
There was intense seriousness on his face.
He kept drawing deep into the night, all the way until dawn.
The more he moved his brush, the more bitter his heart felt.
Because the beauties he painted were all his lovers who had gone missing.
Xia Liu had never seen what they looked like in long skirts and ancient robes.
But the unforgettable memories let him vividly paint out the beautiful bearing they should have after coming to the Cultivation Realm.
At noon, just as Xia Liu put down his brush, the door quietly opened and Su Qingcheng slipped into the room.
"Chairman Xia, I'm sorry. You looked so focused just now that I didn't dare disturb you, so I rashly came in on my own."
...
She said she didn't dare disturb him yet still came in—wasn't Su Qingcheng contradicting herself?
But Xia Liu had no intention of blaming her.
In the Cultivation Realm, he didn't have many friends to begin with.
Having a genius girl like Su Qingcheng as a friend.
Was a blessing.
"Chairman Xia, the people in your paintings are so beautiful, just like Fairies descending to the mortal world!"
Because she had seen a few bound scrolls of paintings in the room, Su Qingcheng couldn't wait to come in.
She was afraid Xia Liu would put them all away before she came in.
"Thank you."
"The Fairies in these paintings are so carefully embellished by Chairman Xia. Are they women you once spent time with?"
"They are my wives."
Uh, uh, uh…
This was clearly the answer she least wanted to hear.
But after hearing it, Su Qingcheng felt as if she had finally put down all the burdens on her shoulders.
All this time, she had been searching for what was wrong with her.
Why wouldn't Xia Liu accept her?
Now she understood.
Counting them carefully, there were eleven scrolls.
On every scroll was a face that could rival a Fairy.
After spending so long with them.
Even if he encountered an even more beautiful woman.
She probably still wouldn't be able to reach into his heart.
No wonder he could remain so unmoved.
So he had so many stories.
"Very surprised?"
Xia Liu gave a bitter smile. Before this, he had already sensed Su Qingcheng's feelings toward him.
But his heart had already closed.
Maybe in this lifetime, it could only hold them.
"Of course I'm surprised—eleven Fairies, after all."
Come on, Su Qingcheng had never seen any normal Male Cultivator with so many wives.
And judging from Xia Liu's devotion.
He must treat them all very well, without ranking them by status.
Being able to keep things harmonious between them was also one of Xia Liu's abilities.
"Then where are they now?"
This was what Su Qingcheng was most puzzled about.
A man with so many wives, all of them as beautiful as Heavenly Immortals.
She was sure no one could just let them go and roam the Jianghu World alone.
"They went missing."
"What? How could that happen?"
Su Qingcheng was shocked.
With Xia Liu's talent, how could he not have protected them?
"I've been searching from the Lower Plane all the way up to the Cultivation Realm. Even now, I still haven't found any trace of them."
Xia Liu had only bared his heart to very few people.
Bai Jue was one, Su Qingcheng was another…
"Alright then, could you give me one scroll? If I ever see someone from your painting, I can help you."
Su Qingcheng didn't know what to say.
She suddenly felt that Xia Liu was very pitiful.
For the sake of his lovers, he had broken through the shackles between planes.
Yet even now, powerful as he was.
He still hadn't found a single clue.
"Alright, thank you for your help, Qingcheng."
Xia Liu picked one scroll and handed it to her.
The rest he stored in his Storage Ring.
"Before you go to the Eastern Realm to take office, where are you planning to go?"
"All over the Central Continent."
"Alright, when are you leaving?"
"Not sure. Maybe tonight, maybe ten days from now."
"Let me know when you leave."
"Mm."
After getting his answer, Su Qingcheng playfully left the room with quick, light steps.
She carefully put away the scroll in her hand.
Five days later, Bai Zhengyang appeared in the courtyard where Xia Liu was staying.
"Chairman Xia, you don't have to worry anymore. The Long Family has already sent people to take Long Zhan away from the Central Continent."
"Oh? The Long Family doesn't plan to cause me trouble?"
"The Empress has already stepped in. Even the Long Family's Spirit Transformation Realm Experts don't dare say a thing."
"Alright then."
Xia Liu nodded. The Empress was doing this merely to ensure his safety in the Central Continent.
Once he went to the Eastern Realm, with the mountains high and the Emperor far away, whatever schemes the Long Family had would be anyone's guess.
"Also, the decree for you to serve as the Chairman of the Eastern Realm is here. You must report to the Eastern Realm Alliance branch within three years."
"I understand, thank you, Envoy Bai."
Xia Liu cupped his fists respectfully.
"By the way, Envoy Bai, do you know where the Empress's Sect in the Central Continent is?"
"In the Southern Heavenly God Village. You planning to go?"
"There's still a three-year gap. I want to travel around the Central Continent. If I get the chance, I might go have a look."
"Haha! Good! Truly worthy of being the number one Monster of the Cultivation Realm. Even in the Central Continent, you are fearless and without regret."
In this regard, Bai Zhengyang greatly admired Xia Liu.
His boldness and courage surpassed far too many people.
Ten days later, a Cultivator in a black robe stepped out of the Alliance headquarters.
Without alarming anyone, because this step almost made his name resound through every part of the Central Continent…
