The Whole World Wants Me To Get Divorced chapter 76

Extra: Past Life Side Story 1

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect recently experienced a major event.

Immortal Lord Wuyan, who had been missing for over a month, returned, but he didn’t come back alone. He brought with him a radiant beauty in red, as dazzling as peach blossoms. The beauty claimed to be a guest, but the words and actions were intimate, suggesting an unusual relationship.

Currently, Immortal Lord Wuyan was reporting to his master in the inner chamber. The beauty, unwilling to go in, sat alone in the courtyard, enjoying the flowers.

For a while, both the inner and outer disciples lost interest in studying and cultivating. Especially the younger disciples, they were too restless to sit still.

This was Immortal Lord Wuyan, and everyone loved to witness such a spectacle.

They abandoned their books, sneaked away to the main peak, leaving the teachers facing empty classrooms, perplexed.

Immortal Lord Wuyan was a true legend in the cultivation world, acknowledged as a legend to the point where mentioning his name would make everyone acknowledge his excellence. He had a breakthrough to the Grand Completion at the age of twelve and reached the nascent soul stage at twenty. Being addressed as Immortal Lord at such a young age was a source of pride for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Even the sect’s disciples had to speak with a certain degree of firmness in front of him.

However, two months ago, while Immortal Lord Wuyan led his disciples to cultivate in a new realm, they encountered a temporal distortion within the mysterious realm. Trying to save a bewildered junior disciple, he got swept into a rift in the fabric of space-time, disappearing without a trace.

Since that day, the entire Ten Thousand Swords Sect seemed a bit absent-minded, resembling frosted eggplants in whatever they did. Although they consoled themselves that someone as powerful as the Immortal Lord Wuyan couldn’t be in danger, there was still a lingering sense of unease.

Now, finally seeing him return safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Moreover, they heard that he brought a beauty with him. Naturally, everyone couldn’t help but perk up their ears, eager to gossip.

Before sneaking to the main peak, these young disciples couldn’t believe how good-looking the person Immortal Lord Wuyan brought back could be.

Being born into noble families, they had seen countless beautiful people. Moreover, the Immortal Lord himself was exceptionally handsome. How could this unknown red-robed beauty compare?

A girl in a pink skirt muttered, “I don’t believe anyone can be more captivating than the Immortal Lord. He has a noble temperament, gentle, and already the best in the world.”

Others shared the same thoughts, but as they were about to peek at Taisheng Master’s courtyard, they silenced themselves, not daring to speak further.

They stealthily climbed the wall, craning their necks to look into the courtyard. Under the elegant and simple courtyard, beneath a cassia tree, sat a man in a red robe, sipping tea.

Cultivators generally had good eyesight, so even from a distance, they could clearly see the man’s appearance. When the red-robed man lifted his head, a collective gasp echoed from the wall. One disciple almost slipped off the wall.

The pink-dressed disciple who had said, “I don’t believe anyone is more captivating than The Immortal Lord. The Immortal Lord has a noble temperament, gentle, and already the best in the world.”

She had frozen in place, staring intently at the red-robed man, seeming to want to earn extra by taking another look.

This red-robed man was entirely different from The Immortal Lord’s beauty. If The Immortal Lord was like a gentle and handsome breeze, this man was a bold and charming beauty filled with aggressiveness. Every gesture and expression touched the deepest desires of the heart. Even the faint hostility in his eyes did not diminish his beauty; instead, it made people even more fascinated.

She pressed down on her heart that was beating wildly, feeling that she couldn’t watch any longer. It was bad for her heart.

While she was lost in her thoughts, she heard a junior brother beside her saying in a hushed voice, “Could it be that The Immortal Lord brought this beautiful man back to marry as his companion?”

Other junior disciples also revealed sly smiles, covering their mouths and laughing softly. They bumped into each other, pretending to talk secretly, creating a scene of chaos.

“The Immortal Lord has never had anyone serving by his side. Bringing back such a good-looking man, if not a companion, what else could it be?”

“Ah, good-looking people indeed like good-looking people.”

“If I encounter someone so beautiful, I would immediately marry them as my companion too.”

The girl in the pink skirt’s mouth twitched. Her heart, which was still pounding like a little deer just now, suddenly stopped. Although she was also captivated by the beauty, The Immortal Lord was the unshakeable white moonlight in her heart.

Before even catching a glimpse, these people had already taken the liberty to create romantic stories for the Immortal Lord, making her nose almost crooked with anger.

She no longer paid attention to the beautiful man, jumped down from the wall, and pulled the ears of her junior brothers to drag them down too.

Being the oldest among these disciples, she whispered, “Enough, you’ve all had a look. Go back to continue studying and cultivating, or else be careful I report you to our master.”

The other disciples were reluctant, wanting to steal more glances at the man. However, seeing their senior sister’s raised eyebrows, they could only sneakily jump down one by one and follow her back.

But after they returned, they couldn’t resist spreading the news about The Immortal Lord and the man in red to other sect members. This gossip spread like wildfire among the various peaks within the inner sect.

By the time Yan Gu came out from his master’s place, the entire sect knew that he was about to have a companion.

The Immortal Lord himself: “???”

He had just finished reporting his experiences of the past few months to his master in the inner chamber. There was nothing particularly thrilling about it. When he got swept away by the spatial rift, he didn’t land in any perilous place but rather ended up in the Kunlun Secret Realm.

The Kunlun Secret Realm was a treasure land for immortals, not only harboring geniuses and treasures but also countless opportunities. However, for Yan Gu, the greatest opportunity the Kunlun secret realm gave him wasn’t progress in cultivation but the encounter with a unique tree growing on Kunlun Mountain—Rong Xiao.

Rong Xiao was a monster transformed from an inexhaustible wood. Permanently residing in Kunlun, he disliked being disturbed by the outside world. When he unexpectedly encountered Yan Gu, an intruder, he didn’t say a word and immediately engaged him in a fight.

Fortunately, Yan Gu had impressive cultivation. Neither of them gained the upper hand, and after fighting until both were tired, they sat down, shook hands, and reached a truce. Yan Gu assured Rong Xiao that as soon as the Kunlun Secret Realm opened again, he would leave without causing any disturbance. Reluctantly, Rong Xiao agreed to let Yan Gu stay temporarily.

However, life in the Kunlun Secret Realm was dull, and Yan Gu was restless. Every few days, he would bother Rong Xiao. After a month of adjustment, he managed to make Rong Xiao gradually accustomed to his chatter, allowing them to peacefully share a grilled fish.

So when the Kunlun Secret Realm opened again, and it was time for Yan Gu to leave, Rong Xiao unexpectedly felt a sense of reluctance. However, being proud, he couldn’t express it.

As Yan Gu was about to step out of the Kunlun Secret Realm, he turned around for a glance. He saw the red-clad inexhaustible wood monster staring at him, a gaze that seemed torn between reluctance and annoyance. It looked like he was accusing Yan Gu of being unfaithful.

Yan Gu’s heart stirred, and impulsively, he extended his hand to the native Kunlun monster, “I’m returning to my sect. Do you want to come with me? I can take you to see the mortal world.”

When he asked this question, he didn’t really expect much.

Rong Xiao was a monster from Kunlun Mountain, noble and aloof. Why would he want to go to the mundane world with him?

However, Rong Xiao glanced at him and actually reached out his hand.

Yan Gu took his hand, openly deceiving the precious divine wood of Kunlun Mountain.

It went so smoothly that it was unbelievable.

On the way back to the sect, Yan Gu couldn’t help but think, ‘God, Rong Xiao is so easy to deceive. What if I were a bad person?’

Upon returning to the sect, Yan Gu didn’t reveal Rong Xiao’s identity to the public. He only said that he encountered a young wandering immortal outside.

Rong Xiao’s identity was prestigious, and being from Kunlun, it would undoubtedly attract unwanted attention. Yan Gu instinctively wanted to protect him from interference.

However, he honestly informed his master about the matter, pleading for secrecy and asking for some care for Rong Xiao.

Master Taisheng wasn’t particularly surprised by Rong Xiao’s identity. Demons and cultivators had maintained an uneasy peace for nearly a hundred years. However, in Taisheng’s eyes, both humans and demons were equally undesirable, so there wasn’t much difference.

His stern face showed a trace of softness, looking at Yan Gu, “You did well. As a demon, living in the immortal sect is inconvenient. It’s better not to reveal his identity.”

Yan Gu sighed in relief, knowing that his master was willing to let Rong Xiao stay.

But Taisheng’s next words were, “However, why did you deliberately bring the inexhaustible wood from Kunlun and keep him by your side?”

Yan Gu was momentarily dumbfounded, stuttering as he opened his mouth, his eyes round and staring at his master like a caught squirrel, “I, I, that’s… “

He almost thought his master had seen through his thoughts.

Fortunately, Taisheng couldn’t be bothered with this unfortunate disciple’s trivial matters. With a wave of his sleeve, he urged Yan Gu to leave. How did this talkative disciple suddenly become speechless?

Yan Gu was obedient, quickly getting up from the ground and about to take his leave. Before leaving, he took out a box and respectfully placed it nearby.

“Master, this is a specialty I brought for you. Please accept it.”

After he left, Taisheng opened the box and found a millennium Dragon Bone Flower inside. He was about to break through, and the Dragon Bone Flower was the most suitable for nurturing his dantian.

He closed the box without changing his expression, but there was a softness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Although this talkative disciple was annoying, he was still considerate.

Once Yan Gu stepped out, he saw Rong Xiao sitting under a tree, waiting for him, getting increasingly impatient.

He quickly approached him, embracing him, and exclaimed, “My master agreed. You can stay with me as a guest for now.”

Rong Xiao instinctively held Yan Gu, his hand resting on Yan Gu’s slender waist. His previously impatient expression improved a lot.

Arrogantly, he said, “As a sacred wood, it is already an honor for your small sect to have me as a guest.”

Yan Gu: “…” Who said it’s a small sect? We’re clearly the number one sect, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!

But looking at Rong Xiao’s face, he couldn’t bring himself to utter any retort. His gaze softened like a pool of spring water.

“Alright, alright, you are the most amazing,” he led Rong Xiao to his own peak, “Let me take you to my residence first. If there’s anything you don’t like, just tell me, and I’ll change it for you.”

It sounded very much like an emperor’s potential, willing to please Rong Xiao in everything.

However, Rong Xiao fell for it. His complexion eased, and he said, “Alright.”

Once Yan Gu settled Rong Xiao in his yard, messages in the form of sound-transmitting talismans flew in like snowflakes.

Some were from his senior brothers and sisters, some from elders of other peaks, and even the sect leader.

Yan Gu thought they might be concerned about his safety during these few months. However, upon opening them, he realized that no one cared about his well-being. Everyone wanted to hear the gossip.

“Younger brother/nephew/grandson/dear Immortal Lord, I heard you brought back a beautiful person. Are you going to marry them as your companion?”

Yan Gu: “……………………”

Where did this rumor come from?

What happened while I was reporting to my master!

But before he could react, Rong Xiao, who was beside him, also heard the contents of the voice transmission talisman. He turned his head and asked, “Companion? Who are they talking about?”

Although Rong Xiao had been in Kunlun, he wasn’t completely ignorant of worldly matters. At the very least, he understood the meaning of a companion.

He didn’t expect it to be himself. Instead, he furrowed his brows and asked Yan Gu, “companion? Who did they say it is?”

Yan Gu was sweating cold, looking at Rong Xiao’s deep and distant emerald eyes, he swallowed hard.
