Chapter 880 Reality Is Synonymous with Cruelty

"Let's go, let's go and tell Uncle the good news!" Zhong Qingbo said with a smile, "At this critical moment, another disciple of the Zhong family has established his foundation. I think Uncle and his family will definitely be happy!"

Zhong Haoran watched Zhong Peihan leave silently. It was impossible to say that he had no thoughts in his mind. However, Zhong Haoran felt at peace in his heart, because he believed that Zhong Peihan was just helpless, and when she stabilized her realm, she would definitely come to find him.

So, Zhong Haoran turned around and left and went straight to his own hut.

Zhong Haoran was a direct disciple of the Zhong family. Unlike the low-level disciples of the medicine garden, he had his own place to practice alone. This place was also considered safe. In the previous two attacks, hundreds of people died, but this place was not involved. Therefore, no one paid too much attention to Zhong Haoran when he was out for dozens of days.

However, the two deaths have now involved most of the area of ​​Zhongling Mountain Villa. The place where the Qi Refining disciples practice has also begun to become uneasy. All kinds of terrifying and uneasy atmospheres are diffused in the air. The Qi Refining disciples are all in danger, fearing that they will lose their lives if they are not careful.

If it were normal, Zhong Haoran’s so-called sudden loss of speech caused by the so-called devil would definitely be comforted by his fellow disciples, and there would even be more enthusiastic sisters to find some solutions. But at this time, Zhong Haoran was greeted with indifference at first, then astonishment, and finally... it was actually a laugh that he did not expect!

"Hehe, Haoran, I can't believe it. Previously there was Zhong Peihan, and now there is you. You all practiced hard to build your foundation, but now you haven't made any progress. That one has become a cripple, and you have become mute. It's really sad!"

"Hmph, what do you know! I just got news from the master that Zhong Peihan has turned from bad to good. Not only has her meridians been repaired, but she has also built her foundation. She is now our uncle!"

"She has built her foundation, why did she go back to Zhongling Villa? Isn't it good to hide in Linglan Courtyard? At least that There is no Xiao Hua here!"

"Oh, that's right. Zhong Haoran, you seem to have a good relationship with Zhong Peihan! You...you have been with Zhong Peihan for the past few days? Look, you are like this now. Not to mention that they have not established a foundation, even normal Qi Refining disciples will never take you seriously, right?"

"Yes, a toad wants to eat swan meat. I have such thoughts too!"

All kinds of words were wandering in Zhong Haoran's ears. Zhong Haoran was speechless again, with only a bitter smile on his face, and in the end, he was actually a little indifferent! It seemed that he was using another pair of eyes to look coldly at everyone's performance!

The Zhong family teacher who guided Zhong Haoran in his practice naturally knew Zhong Haoran's situation. After a very painful inspection, it was as Xiao Hua expected. They could not find Xiao Hua's forbidden method at all, and it was impossible to know the fundamental reason why Zhong Haoran was dumb.

Not to mention that Zhong Haoran was a Qi Refining disciple,

his teacher would not report this situation directly to Zhong Tianyao. Let's just say that now is an extraordinary period, everyone's heart is hanging, and they all hope that Xiao Hua will be executed so that they can escape. Zhong Tianyao is also indifferent to trivial matters, so. Zhong Haoran's matter is like a small wave in the river, which will disappear after a little turbulence.

However, Zhong Haoran is somewhat puzzled by the fear of the disciples of Zhongling Villa, because he has been with Xiao Hua and knows Xiao Hua's kindness. Since Xiao Hua can take out the Bu Tian Dan for Zhong Peihan, he will naturally not kill the disciples of the Zhong family at will. Besides, on the most recent dark night of the moon, Xiao Hua was with them all night, so where would he have time to come to Zhongling Villa to kill people? Unfortunately, Zhong Haoran can't speak now, and naturally he can't defend Xiao Hua. Zhong Haoran also believes that there will always be a day when the truth will come out. He just needs to wait. When that day comes, he will definitely defend Xiao Hua.

Unfortunately, reality is always cruel. Zhong Haoran faces what happened with a calm heart, but the changes in things are far beyond his expectations! Before the day came when he defended Xiao Hua, he had already noticed another change, and this change was exactly what he had not expected, or rather, he had never thought of it!

Zhong Peihan had failed to build a foundation once, but this time it went very smoothly, and with the medicinal power of Xiao Hua's Bu Tian Dan, the realm after building the foundation was very stable, and it took only a few days of meditation to come out! The first thing Zhong Peihan did after coming out of retreat was naturally to look for Zhong Haoran.

In fact, Zhong Peihan lived very close to Zhong Haoran at first. There were many Qi-refining disciples in Zhongling Villa, and these Qi-refining disciples were divided into two groups of men and women for management. It was precisely because Zhong Peihan and Zhong Haoran were originally closely connected that they were grouped together when they traveled to Xiguo last time!

To Zhong Peihan's surprise, her appearance in front of the Qi Refining disciples caused a sensation. Many old acquaintances flattered her, and all the praises were piled up in front of her, as if she was the darling of heaven. The previous indifference when her meridians were completely destroyed was completely swept away. This unexpected feeling really made Zhong Peihan feel like returning home in glory, and a floating and wind-riding atmosphere was always overflowing around her. And this overflowing atmosphere and self-satisfied feeling made her unable to ask for Zhong Haoran, and even unable to ask for an excuse to leave!

It was not until dark that Zhong Peihan sorted herself out a little, and before leaving, she casually asked about Zhong Haoran's situation.

All the Qi Refining disciples had mysterious faces and whispered: "Uncle Peihan, you don't know! Zhong Haoran is now mute and can't speak a word! And he can't transmit sounds. Do you think Think about it, how can this class of disciples still have a future? According to the teacher, the possibility of cultivating the Foundation Establishment is very small! Your uncle, have you heard that the Foundation Establishment cultivator cannot be mute? Mute?"

Some disciples also complimented: "Uncle Peihan, we know that you miss your old relationship and want to support Zhong Haoran. However, you have to think carefully. You are now the foundation-building uncle. How can you follow Zhong Haoran?" You may be ashamed of being with Haoran, a mute monk, because you care about your old relationship, but I, Zhongling Villa, still want face, and so do you and other Foundation Establishment monks..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Although Zhong Peihan disdains what these former sisters said and knows the real reason why Zhong Haoran is mute, but... these words do not sound without a trace of truth! After much hesitation, she still couldn't find any reason not to look for Zhong Haoran.

Zhong Haoran's hut was usually neither lively nor deserted, but when Zhong Peihan arrived, it was absolutely deserted. Just like what Zhong Peihan encountered with her sisters in the past, all the Qi Refining disciples bowed respectfully when they saw her. After she dealt with it casually, when they saw her going to look for Zhong Haoran, their eyes became strange. This strange look is definitely not a compliment or a kind of admiration, but more of a surprise and a kind of ridicule!

These looks made Zhong Peihan's heart, which had just been convinced, start to ripple again.

However, seeing Zhong Haoran and his indifferent look, Zhong Peihan suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart! It seems... this junior brother who has been following me for many years has not grown up yet! The newly born attachment that I had before has long since disappeared; the sense of security that I urgently needed from Zhong Haoran has also disappeared in the past few days after I returned to Zhongling Villa after building the foundation!

Especially, when she first spoke, Zhong Peihan felt that she didn't know how to address Zhong Haoran. She had played enough of the role of uncle for this day.

"Haoran, are you... okay?" Zhong Peihan said this, feeling a little regretful in his heart. But after not seeing each other for a few days, what's wrong with Zhong Haoran? Or, if they are all mute, how can they be cured?

"You...talk to me about that jade slip!" Zhong Peihan realized that he had just woken up at this moment, and Zhong Haoran could not answer his own question.

Zhong Haoran nodded, took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhong Peihan.

"Oh, I'm fine," Zhong Peihan glanced over with his spiritual thoughts and said with a smile, "The teacher was very surprised that I could build a foundation, so he specially checked me. You don't know how shocked they were at that time. They had such long mouths. Big, big eyes, they couldn't believe that my meridians were repaired so perfectly! Did you know? Haoran, the reputation of Tianbu Dan is not only good, but also better than before. It has increased by one point. I heard from the teachers that my magic power will definitely be one point higher than those of the same level in the future, and I will have a better chance of cultivating the golden elixir. Haoran, there are very few female cultivators in our Zhong family who have entered the golden elixir. Yes, the teachers said, if nothing unexpected happens, I will be the first female cultivator to cultivate the golden elixir in thousands of years..."

After Zhong Peihan finished speaking, he said very gently: "Haoran, this is all your fault! However, I also swore to my heart that no one can say anything! So..."

Zhong Haoran listened patiently, with a light of understanding in his eyes. At this time, he extended his index finger very considerately and quietly placed it on Zhong Peihan's mouth!

"Haoran, you are so kind!" Zhong Peihan's body stiffened, and then he snuggled into Zhong Haoran's arms.

However, Zhong Peihan clearly felt that the warmth on Zhong Haoran's body was far less than a few days ago, and it even felt a little awkward in her heart! This feeling made her feel very uneasy. Yes, she had just received benefits from Zhong Haoran, how could she suddenly become...such a stranger!

This strangeness is caused by the environment of Zhongling Villa, the difference between foundation building and Qi refining, the difference between gratitude and love...!

How could Zhong Haoran have imagined that Zhong Peihan would have such a big change in his heart after not seeing him for just a few days? It was even more impossible for him to know that the woman in his arms was thinking about so many things.

The meeting between the two was very brief, but they separated after a while. Zhong Peihan did not agree with Zhong Haoran on the time of their next meeting. He only said that he would come over to see him when he had time. At the same time, he also hoped that Zhong Haoran could continue to practice and enter the world as soon as possible. Build the foundation! . . )
