Chapter 47: Entering Carefree Leads Straight to Immortality!

Chapter 47: Once You Enter the Realm of Ease, You Become an Immortal!

Zhenbei Martial Arts Academy.

Amidst the biting wind of the winter night, Tan Dong had been waiting at the entrance for over an hour.

Tan Xiaoyu walked over. "Dad, the weather is so cold, and you're still injured. You should go back inside and rest."

Tan Dong shook his head. "He should be arriving soon. Let's wait a little longer!"

Tan Xiaoyu looked unconvinced. "Dad, is this Xue An really as formidable as you claim?"

Tan Dong glanced at her. "You just returned from abroad, so you don't understand the situation here at home. But I can assert that among the martial arts practitioners in our country today, there are very few who are match for Mr. Xue!"

Tan Xiaoyu secretly curled her lips in utter disdain.

"Dad, if you ask me, you should have just let me go over there and beat the person who injured you to a pulp. That would have vented your anger and restored our Zhenbei Martial Arts Academy's reputation. Why bother waiting for this Xue An?"

Tan Dong's expression darkened. "Xiaoyu, I spent a fortune sending you abroad not for you to look down on everyone. Just because you learned well from the Taekwondo grandmasters of Country H doesn't mean you can despise others!"

"Yes!" Tan Xiaoyu lowered her head, but deep down, she remained defiant.

She was Tan Dong's only daughter, and she had spent years studying Taekwondo under a national-treasure-level grandmaster of Country H.

By now, her mastery of Taekwondo had reached an extremely profound level.

Yesterday, upon learning that her father had been beaten and injured, she had rushed back overnight, vowing to avenge him.

Yet her father had firmly refused, insisting on waiting for someone named Xue An.

This left Tan Xiaoyu feeling deeply resentful.

I want to see if he has three heads and six arms! If he turns out to be just some mediocre nobody, I will definitely make a fool of him in public! Tan Xiaoyu thought to herself.

After waiting a little longer, a low-profile Volvo slowly pulled up in front of the Zhenbei Martial Arts Academy.

The car door opened, and Qin Yu stepped out first.

Her appearance startled Tan Xiaoyu.

Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Longtai Group? Why is she here too?

Qin Yu did not leave. Instead, she stood respectfully to the side and opened the back door.

Only then did Xue An step out, holding two children in his arms.

Tan Dong's expression became excited. He hurried down the steps, took a few steps forward, and bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Xue! Ms. Qin!"

Xue An gave a slight nod.

So this is the Mr. Xue my father was talking about? Tan Xiaoyu sized Xue An up.

He's not bad-looking, but his build is far too slender. Which martial artist isn't a burly, imposing man?

And he's supposed to be an peerless expert?

To top it off, he's actually carrying two children in his arms.

Is this some kind of joke?

The more Tan Xiaoyu looked, the more disdainful she became, inwardly blaming her father for being old and easily swindled.

This kid looks like a total fraud.

Someone like him? I could take ten of them with a single punch!

Therefore, Tan Xiaoyu remained standing on the steps and did not come down.

Tan Dong noticed this and frowned. "Xiaoyu, come down quickly and pay your respects to Mr. Xue and Ms. Qin!"

Tan Xiaoyu reluctantly descended the steps and offered a perfunctory, dismissive cupped-fist salute.

"Ms. Qin!"

She completely ignored Xue An!

Tan Dong was startled, terrified that Xue An would be displeased by this.

However, Xue An paid no attention to Tan Xiaoyu whatsoever. At this moment, his entire focus was on his two sleeping daughters.

As for everything else, he couldn't be bothered.

Yet Xue An's reaction only made Tan Xiaoyu even more convinced that this fellow was merely an imposing facade with no real substance.

Otherwise, why would he dare not respond to such a blatant provocation?

Her teacher had once said that a martial artist without courage was like a tiger without fangs, completely devoid of lethality.

Tan Xiaoyu's expression grew even more contemptuous. "Dad, Ms. Qin, I just got off the plane. I'm going back inside to unpack!"

With that, she turned and walked away.

Tan Dong looked awkward and was about to offer an explanation to Xue An.

Xue An merely glanced at him calmly. "How are your injuries?"

Tan Dong gave a bitter smile. "Not too severe. He held back at the last second, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here right now!"

Xue An nodded. Suddenly, he flicked out a finger, striking precisely upon Tan Dong's Shanzhong acupoint.

Tan Dong felt a sensation like an electric current passing through him. His whole body shuddered, and the oppressive tightness in his chest instantly cleared.

"Thank you, Mr. Xue!" Tan Dong quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Mr. Xue, shall we return to the Qin residence first?" Qin Yu asked.

Xue An shook his head. "Let's stay here!"

"Stay here?" Qin Yu looked slightly troubled.

"Mmm, because this place is closer to the Hong family," Xue An said indifferently, before walking into the martial arts academy.

Qin Yu was somewhat baffled by his intent, but since Xue An had spoken, she had no choice but to comply.

Tan Dong was naturally overjoyed and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a clean room.

Xue An settled his two daughters first.

By this time, it was already the early hours of the morning.

Xue An felt no inclination to sleep.

Instead, he walked out into the courtyard, looked up at the deep blue sky, and slowly closed his eyes.

His divine sense expanded outward.

Within the spiritual world formed by his divine sense, everything around him ceased to exist. What remained were various flames emitting the radiance of life.

These flames varied in size. The one closest to Xue An was Tan Dong's flame, though at the moment, Tan Dong's flame appeared somewhat withered.

Beyond that, Qin Yu's flame was not small either, but another flame stood out prominently.

Miraculously, it belonged to the woman from earlier today.

The range of his divine sense expanded further and further!

Once you enter the realm of ease, you become an immortal—although this phrase was somewhat exaggerated, it nevertheless illustrated that the Realm of Ease served as the dividing line between mortals and immortals.

Yet even if an ordinary person were to enter the Realm of Ease, it would be impossible for them to possess something like divine sense.

Such a divine ability required at least the Celestial Human Realm, or even the level of a loose immortal.

But who was Xue An?

He was the supreme Celestial Venerable of the entire universe; such a minor obstacle could naturally never stump him!

Soon, within the perception range of Xue An's divine sense, a towering flame appeared.

This flame burned so fiercely that it truly resembled a volcano.

A faint smile slowly surfaced at the corner of Xue An's mouth.

Then, he opened his eyes and looked into the distance.

"Entering the Dao through martial arts? Quite interesting. I hope you won't disappoint me. Let me see just how much capability you truly possess!"

Meanwhile, at the Hong family estate, Yu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly snapped his eyes open.

Just then, he had sensed an aura that was powerful to the point of terror.

Though it vanished in a flash, the terrifying might contained within that aura still caused Yu Qing to tremble.

Who was it?

Could there be another hidden master in Beijiang?

Yu Qing was filled with shock and uncertainty.

Dawn broke.

Tan Xiaoyu walked out of her room, stretched lazily, her bones and joints cracking rhythmically, and then began her daily cultivation routine.

Today was the day to go settle accounts with the Hong family.

Naturally, she needed to prepare everything.

As for Xue An...

She had never counted on him in the first place.

She even figured that if this so-called Mr. Xue didn't end up holding them back when the time came, it would already be a blessing.
