CHAPTER 361: THE XUANYUAN TRIPLETS 1

Each of the triplets wanted to know about their mother.

However, they had suffered enough to know better.

"Could this be another of Lin Hua’s tricks?" Xuanyuan Yue wondered with a worried look.

"But the person has the communication jades we gave our mother." Xuanyuan Xing said with a conflicted expression.

"Maybe our jades fell into the wrong hands?"

"It’s not like you don’t know how communication jades work." Xuanyuan Yang said and suddenly froze.

"Why can that person use our mother’s communication jades?" He asked.

Communication jades used one of two means.

The first was qi, and the other was soul power.

That said, they recognised their owner, and without special means, they wouldn’t allow a random person to use them.

"Mother was a peak-stage tribulation transcending realm cultivator when she left the sect. If someone wants to deceive her communication jades, their cultivation must be higher than hers." Xuanyuan Yang said, and the room fell silent.

"Are we dealing with a loose immortal?"

"Why would a loose immortal hide their identity and enter our peak to tell us about our mother?"

"There is another possibility." Xuanyuan Yue said with a complicated expression.

"What possibility?" Xuanyuan Xing asked.

"It could be mother’s Taoist partner. To some extent, contract partners can use each other’s communication jades."

The room fell silent after these words fell.

The three wanted their mother to be happy.

However, they had suffered the consequences of gaining a step-parent and didn’t want to complicate their lives even more.

"I will meet the person." Xuanyuan Yang suddenly said.

"Brother..." Xuanyuan Yue called, but Xuanyuan Yang raised his hand to stop her.

"We haven’t heard from Mother in thousands of years. I want to know what’s going on and where she is." He said.

"Brother, it could be a trap."

"I know. That’s why I will go alone."

"What do you mean?" Xuanyuan Yue and Xuanyuan Xing asked in unison.

"I only have two months to live. What’s a few days more or a few days less?" Xuanyuan Yang asked with a nonchalant expression.

However, the other two didn’t think this way.

They were born together and had always advanced and retreated together.

How could they let their brother take risks alone?

Thinking this, Xuanyuan Yue shook her head with a solemn expression.

"We will all meet the person." She said.

"We can let him come to us. Meeting him here will give us a home advantage." Xuanyuan Xing added.

In fact, they had a level eight formation around the courtyard.

However, the formation used too many spirit stones, so they rarely used it.

In this situation, Xuanyuan Xing could only think of letting the person come to them so that they could use the formation if things went wrong.

"Xing’er is right. Let’s invite him here."

With two against one, Xuanyuan Yang had no choice but to agree.

A moment later, they replied to the message and asked the person to meet them in the courtyard.

After that, the three immediately got to work.

First, they activated the level eight formation, set up some hidden image stones, and even prepared a few small traps.

A quarter of an hour later, they heard a tap on the formation and exchanged a glance before Xuanyuan Yue used her spiritual sense to check the situation.

"It’s two people. Their cultivation is only the early stage of the spirit transformation realm." She said with a confused expression.

"Mother formed a Taoist contract with a spirit transformation realm cultivator?" Xuanyuan Xing asked in a shocked voice.

After all, cultivators tended to form contracts with an equally matched person.

"Something is wrong..." Xuanyuan Yue suddenly said and quickly continued.

"Those two are holding hands. They should be a Taoist couple." She said.

"Yue’er, it’s not like Taoist partners can’t have other lovers." Xuanyuan Yang reminded and sighed.

"It’s better to meet them than to stand here and speculate."

After that, Xuanyuan Yue opened a gap in the formation and allowed the two people to enter the courtyard.

A moment later, the two sides came face to face, and Shen Xu did his best to remain expressionless.

Even if the triplets weren’t identical, they should have appeared to be of the same generation.

However, the three in front of him looked like a grandparent, a child, and a grandchild.

Because of his lost lifespan, Xuanyuan Yang looked like an old man with white hair, wrinkly skin, curved back, and turbid eyes.

Next to him, Xuanyuan Yue looked like a middle-aged woman, while Xuanyuan Xing appeared to be in his twenties but had unnatural reddish eyes.

’He will birth an inner demon if nothing is done soon.’ Shen Xu thought and subconsciously sighed.

However, he quickly composed himself and smiled at the three.

"My name is Shen Xu, and this is my Taoist partner, Zhen Yuan." He said, and the triplets nodded.

Seeing that they weren’t very interested in the introductions, Shen Xu took out a token and a letter from his storage ring.

"Have a look at this." He said, handing over the items.

"This is our mother’s elder token." Xuanyuan Yue exclaimed, and Shen Xu nodded.

"It is." He said, but didn’t explain.

Instead, he waited for the three to check the items and begin reading the letter.

The letter was not long and didn’t offer much explanation.

All it said was that Feng Xue was injured and accidentally fell into a secret realm. While there, she met some good friends who helped her heal and recover her cultivation.

Finally, she said she was going into seclusion and would find the triplets as soon as she was out. For now, she hoped the triplets would help her friends where necessary.

After reading the letter, the triplets exchanged a glance and forcibly suppressed their anxiety.

[The letter has Mother’s soul mark.] Xuanyuan Yue transmitted to the other two.

[Mother has always been indifferent and rarely interacts with others. She must value Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan very much since she gave them the letter, token, and communication jades.]

[Should we trust them?] Xuanyuan Xing asked.

[We will decide after we know what they want to do.] Xuanyuan Yang said.

"Let’s talk inside." Xuanyuan Yue invited and led everyone to the sitting room.

After sitting, the triplets turned to Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan.
