Chapter 109: Past Events

"This is all thanks to your Senior Sister Fu!"

Seeing Xiao Mian just staring at her quietly, even Leng Ningyu felt inexplicably depressed and couldn't help but talk about the dusty past.

"That was about five years ago. After Qing Qiong successfully built her foundation, she worshipped me as her master. Once, she talked about Yuan Xu and Lu Chengfeng, and she mentioned you to me. At that time, I was just curious, so I followed the records of the sect to visit your home, and then I saw Chu Qing. At that time, the girl was less than five years old. Although she was not beautiful, she was full of spiritual energy. What's more rare is that she was born with a mutant ice spirit root!"

Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized.

I think Leng Ningyu must have been like Yuan Xu when he saw himself back then, and couldn't take her eyes away after seeing Xiao Chuqing - you know, Leng Ningyu herself is a mutant ice spirit root, which is why she can practice the Five Elements Sect's secret technique, the Ice Soul Divine Light. When she saw Xiao Chuqing, who also had an ice attribute spirit root, that day, how could she not accept her as a disciple?

Given the character of this new master, even if her parents disagreed with her taking Xiao Chuqing away, she would secretly and forcefully abduct Xiao Chuqing!

But thinking about it again, it was fortunate that Leng Ningyu took Xiao Chuqing away, otherwise...

Calculating the time, wasn't it five years ago that Lu Chengfeng came to tell her about the death of her parents?

It seems that Leng Ningyu had just taken Xiao Chuqing away when the damned golden-scaled python came to her door.

If so, Leng Ningyu saved Xiao Chuqing's life, and it can be regarded as leaving another root for his Xiao family.

"Disciple..., thank you Master!"

"That's not necessary! I also took a fancy to Chuqing's ice spirit root that day, so I brought her to the mountain. However, I didn't tell her anything, including the death of your parents and your identity, and I hope you don't tell her!"

Although Leng Ningyu said this politely, the tone of her voice showed that she could not be refused.

Xiao Mian pondered for a moment and nodded.

"This is the best! I can't turn back anymore. I have to face this cruel reality. Let her live in the fantasy that her parents are still alive! I just hope that Master can be sincere to her. If she is like the old thief Yuanxu... Humph!"

"Oh! You have lost all your true energy and your cultivation is ruined. You still have more skills? You dare to challenge Master? You dare to turn your face away from me? Do you think I will have ulterior motives towards Chu Qing like that old bastard Yuanxu? Let me tell you: I am not that useless!"

Speaking of this, seeing that Xiao Mian was just staring at her, and thinking about Xiao Mian's inhuman experience, Leng Ningyu finally slowed down her tone.

"Chu Qing is a child with excellent spiritual roots and comprehension. She is just suitable for practicing our sect's Ice Soul Divine Light. How could I harm her?"

"..., I was reckless! Please forgive me, Master!"

"You kid! I have to go back to Bibotan now, so as not to be discovered by that old thief Yuan Yuan. Your head teacher is in seclusion again. You might as well go back to Bibotan with me. It will be convenient for me to urge you to practice the art of drawing talismans on weekdays!"

"Yes!"

At that moment, Leng Ningyu condensed the Ice Soul Divine Light Sword and returned to Bibotan with Xiao Mian.

This is the first time Xiao Mian has come to Bibotan in the ten years since he went to the Five Elements Mountain. Not only him, but also other disciples of the Five Elements Sect are not allowed to come to Bibotan without permission, because the Bibotan lineage is almost entirely female. Fortunately, Fu Qingqiong knew that Xiao Mian was coming before, so she helped Xiao Mian clean up a courtyard next to her own courtyard.

This courtyard is much more formal than the one Yuanxu arranged for Xiao Mian. After all, Yuanxu just wanted Xiao Mian to build his foundation as soon as possible and have a place to practice, so he didn't care about anything else.

The courtyard didn't look very big from the outside, and was even smaller than the previous courtyard. When he walked into the courtyard, he found that this courtyard was actually applied with a very sophisticated space formation. There was a different world inside, and the facilities were complete and the structure was reasonable. It was like a cave for cultivation.

In addition to the main hall, there were two wing rooms on the left and right of the courtyard. The left side was the spirit beast room, and the right side was the quiet room. Some common plants such as asparagus fern and Clivia were planted in the front yard, which was quite extraordinary. There was even a spiritual grass yard in the backyard, although Xiao Mian couldn't use it at all!

"Thank you, Senior Sister Fu!" Seeing Fu Qingqiong standing in front of the main hall waiting for him, Xiao Mian hurriedly thanked her, not only for arranging the courtyard for her, but also for Fu Qingqiong's unintentional words to save Xiao Chuqing. Fu Qingqiong didn't say anything, just smiled lightly: "Others don't know Junior Brother Xiao's wealth, but I know it very well. Isn't this a good way to curry favor with Junior Brother? Junior Brother, are you satisfied with this courtyard? If not, we can change to another one!"

"That's great! No need to bother! When did Senior Sister guess that the grandparents of the Lu family had ulterior motives towards me?"

"You want to ask what the relationship between me and Lu Chengfeng is, right? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth: he and I are just using each other! It was indeed Lu Chengfeng who took the initiative to find me that day and asked me to wait for an opportunity to get close to you. As for the purpose, To be honest, even I don't know what he wants to do! I was a little suspicious at the time, and when he asked me to teach you how to practice Qi later, this suspicion became even stronger. With Lu Chengfeng's status in the Five Elements Sect, there is no need for him to curry favor with you. His deliberate and attentive service to you makes me think of only four words - either a traitor or a thief! "

"Since you have already suspected it, why don't you tell me clearly?"

"People in the cultivation world are unpredictable. How can I know what your relationship with Lu Chengfeng is? How dare I speak easily? Besides, I also asked for something from the Lu family's ancestors and grandchildren at that time..."

Speaking of this, Fu Qingqiong was relieved when he told her that his brother Fu Qingxiao had the "Nine Yin Demon Bone Body" and needed the "Tian Yang Bone Transformation Pill" to resolve it.

"The Tian Yang Bone Transformation Pill can only be refined by Yuan Xu. Even though I later joined the Bi Bo Tan lineage, I had to pretend to be nice to him. It was not until I told Lu Chengfeng about your whereabouts as you wished that he gave me the Tian Yang Bone Transformation Pill!"

"So that's it!"

"Will my junior brother blame my senior sister?"

"How could that be! If Chu Qing had the Nine Yin Demon Bone Body, I would have done the same as my senior sister. Moreover, my senior sister has helped me a lot in the past few years, and the tip-off at the end helped me a lot. How can I blame her?" Seeing that Fu Qingqiong's originally gloomy face looked much better, Xiao Mian changed the subject: "Has your brother's condition improved after taking the Tian Yang Bone Transformation Pill?"

"The Nine Yin Demon Bone Body has resolved a lot of , Unfortunately, after the examination by the sect steward, he turned out to be a mortal without the five elements of spiritual roots, and there is no hope for him to practice in this life. I only hope that he can marry and have children in this life, live a peaceful life, and be worthy of his parents! "

"You can at least live with your brother, what about me?"

"This..., Junior Brother, don't be resentful of Master! It's really that Junior Sister's spiritual roots are too outstanding, especially suitable for practicing Bingpo Shenguang. Master also loves Junior Sister so much that he cultivates her as a successor. Besides, even if you recognize her, what does it matter? Do you have to tell her those cruel facts? Instead of that, it's better to be able to quietly guard her by the side like this, isn't it the same?"

"..."

Xiao Mian was silent for a long time, and in the end he still didn't say a word.
