Chapter 213: The Most Kind and Gentle

Xiao Mian was stunned after hearing Leng Ningyu's sigh.

That's not right!

That senior Bai Gu clearly considered himself a rebel of the Five Elements Sect. Even when he was about to die, he was willing to be buried in a secret cave three thousand feet underground because he felt ashamed to return to the sect. How come he was so kind to the Five Elements Sect when he came to Leng Ningyu?

From Leng Ningyu's tone, it seemed that he didn't know that this senior was from the Five Elements Sect. It must be a hidden story.

As expected, Xiao Mian learned another piece of history from Leng Ningyu.

That should have happened hundreds of years ago. After what Leng Ningyu called a catastrophe, the Five Elements Sect was depleted of talents and was even worse than now. The entire sect was actually supported by only one Jindan cultivator. This Jindan cultivator was Wu Lingzi's master and Leng Ningyu's master - that is, Xiao Mian's great master!

Unfortunately, this great master was born as a talisman painter. Although his own cultivation was at the Jindan level, his combat power was a mess.

In addition, it was the time when the Demon Shadow Sect was mysteriously rising, and the pressure faced by the Five Elements Sect was much greater than it is now.

Just when the Five Elements Sect was in danger, a mysterious Jindan strongman suddenly came forward to help the Five Elements Sect. The flying sword used by that person was this - Shanrou Sword!

At that time, the Demon Shadow Sect rose and the Five Elements Sect was weak.

Luohua Valley sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, hoping that the two major sects, one new and one old, would suffer losses, so that Luohua Valley could reap the benefits.

The Demon Shadow Sect launched an offensive against the Five Elements Sect more than once, but was blocked outside the Five Elements Mountain by this mysterious predecessor with a single sword. The then Five Elements Sect's headmaster, Xiao Mian's great master, also suspected that the other party had an old relationship with the Five Elements Sect and wanted to recognize the other party several times, but the man gave up after repelling the Demon Shadow Sect.

After that, until another generation of new disciples grew up, especially after Wu Lingzi formed an eighth-grade Jindan, the predecessor gradually disappeared until there was no trace.

"It can be said that if there was no such senior, my Five Elements Sect would have been destroyed hundreds of years ago!"

As he said this, Leng Ningyu looked at Shan Roujian with respect and admiration.

Xiao Mian was fascinated by what he heard. He didn't expect that the unknown past of the senior Bai Gu actually had such a magnificent poem!

But if the descriptions of the senior Bai Gu and Leng Ningyu were true, then something was wrong.

From Leng Ningyu's description, Xiao Mian could almost conclude that the so-called "catastrophe" referred to the spiritual battle mentioned by the senior Bai Gu.

Combined with the fact that the senior dared to resist the offensive of the Demon Shadow Sect alone, he was definitely not a timid person. But such a Jindan strongman was afraid before the spiritual battle broke out and fled without fighting. Could it be that the so-called spiritual battle was really more terrifying than the entire Demon Shadow Sect?

Or did the senior who experienced the spiritual battle finally repent and save the Five Elements Sect at the cost of his life?

Or maybe, that senior was confident that he had a high level of cultivation at that time, so he stepped forward?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Xiao Mian really wanted to ask Leng Ningyu what exactly was a catastrophe, what was a spiritual war, and what was the era of great contention! ?

Xiao Mian had a hunch that these three might refer to the same thing!

But looking at Leng Ningyu's secretive look, I'm afraid she wouldn't answer even if I asked her?

Perhaps my current cultivation was too low, and I couldn't touch that level of secrets?

"This Shanrou sword, not to mention that it is the relic of that senior, it is also a top-level magic weapon flying sword. What are you doing for me?" After reminiscing for a moment, Leng Ningyu finally came to her senses and asked Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian was quite embarrassed when he heard this, but he still said truthfully: "I heard that the second senior sister doesn't have a suitable flying sword yet, why not give it to her!"

"..., you are thoughtful!" Leng Ningyu did not tease Xiao Mian, but whispered as if she knew all the treasures: "You gave Ling'er the Canglan Feathered Clothes before the New Year, right? And the Ice Crystal Bracelet you gave to Chu Qing a few days ago, and now with this Shanrou Sword, one defense and two attacks, they are all top-level magic weapons. You, as a junior and senior brother, are more responsible than me, as a master. It is naturally best for you to get along well with your fellow disciples, but the matter between you and Qingqiong..., hey!"

Seeing Xiao Mian's face shut up with embarrassment, Leng Ningyu sighed before she finished her words. She naturally understood Xiao Mian's intention to go far away after the sword fighting meeting, and Fu Qingqiong was her right-hand man, so it was impossible for her to leave the sect. In this way, it was the sect and Leng Ningyu who broke up the fate of the two.

"Don't worry: I will give this Shanrou Sword to Qingqiong!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Master!"

"I don't plan to take care of your affairs, I just hope that you won't have any regrets when you look back on them later!" When she said this, Leng Ningyu's face flashed with a touch of reminiscence, which was joyful and sad. Turning around and waving to Xiao Mian, Leng Ningyu whispered: "If you have nothing to do, go down..."

"Yes!"

After returning to his own courtyard, Xiao Mian sat quietly for a while, and then he calmed down from the previous conversation with Leng Ningyu.

The origin of the Shanrou Sword made Xiao Mian feel open-minded and heroic; the matter of Fu Qingqiong made Xiao Mian feel a little short of courage and sentimental.

With a sigh, Xiao Mian gave up the idea of ​​sitting in meditation and cultivating. Instead, he took out a wine gourd from his storage bag and uncorked it. Suddenly, a strong fruity aroma wafted out. The gourd contained the Hundred Fruit Fairy that Xiao Mian had exchanged from Chi Lianxia a few days ago. Spiritual wine and tea are not as good as elixirs. Although their effects on cultivation are not as obvious as elixirs, they do not have the elixir poison contained in elixirs.

Although Xiao Mian did not plan to take elixirs before the condensation of the infant, it did not mean that he could not even enjoy spiritual wine, tea, or spiritual food.

However, Xiao Mian took out the Hundred Fruit Fairy at this time not to promote his cultivation, but purely to get drunk.

Although this wine gourd is only the size of a palm, it is engraved with a space array inside. Although it is not big, a gourd of wine weighs more than 100 kilograms. You should know that it cost Xiao Mian 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones to exchange this gourd of Hundred Fruit Immortal from Chi Lianxia. If he didn't pour more, wouldn't Xiao Mian suffer a loss?

However, at this time, Xiao Mian didn't care whether he suffered a loss or not, and just drank the third-level spirit wine Hundred Fruit Immortal mouthful by mouthful. Although the grade of Hundred Fruit Immortal is not high, it is still a third-level spirit wine. It is a rare high-grade spirit wine among the foundation-building cultivators. If others knew that Xiao Mian wasted Hundred Fruit Immortal like this, they would probably want to kill him.

At this time, Xiao Mian didn't care, and drank one mouthful after another.

When he was drinking to his heart's content, Xiao Mian suddenly walked out of the quiet room and strolled in the courtyard with the wine gourd in his hand. It was a full moon night, and it was the perfect time to raise a cup to invite the bright moon, and the shadows formed three people. Xiao Mian sang and danced happily, with a rather unrestrained and unhindered demeanor.

In his heart, Xiao Mian was full of worries.

In the eyes of others, Xiao Mian was quite decisive and daring, but in fact, he was a person with extremely delicate feelings. On that day, he would rather set up the Huangliang Dream Formation to protect Xiao Chuqing's happiness. Later, he used five high-quality spirit stones to activate the maze just to protect Xiao Chuxue's grave, and even the heart demon blood oath he made that day, all of which were a reflection of Xiao Mian's directness to his heart.

But on the matter of Fu Qingqiong, Xiao Mian was a little confused. He didn't know what kind of promise he should give Fu Qingqiong.

Zhongzhou, Xiao Mian must go; as for whether he can come back after going, it is not something Xiao Mian can decide.

Should she wait for him who doesn't even know if he can return safely?

Shaking his head, Xiao Mian laughed out loud and sang to the wine.

Amidst the wild laughter, Xiao Mian's helplessness was clearly revealed, but because of the paralysis of the Hundred Fruit Fairy, the alert Xiao Mian did not notice that there was a beautiful figure standing at his door.

Fu Qingqiong, who got the Shanrou Sword from Leng Ningyu, did not know that the sword was given by Xiao Mian, but after hearing Leng Ningyu say that Xiao Mian was going to retreat, she realized that tonight might be the last chance for her and Xiao Mian to have a long talk all night - once Xiao Mian started retreating, he would not come out until the sword fighting meeting started, and after the sword fighting meeting started, how could Fu Qingqiong and Xiao Mian have time to be affectionate?

It was just that Fu Qingqiong rushed to the outside of Xiao Mian's courtyard and heard Xiao Mian singing in the courtyard.

She was stunned, and then Fu Qingqiong trembled all over. After a moment of stalemate, she finally put down her bare hand that wanted to knock on the door and turned away.

Xiao Mian's singing voice lingered in her heart, making Fu Qingqiong feel sad and relieved at the same time - it turned out that he was not indifferent to me, it turned out that he also knew my feelings, but it was a pity - how could there be a perfect solution in the world, not to disappoint the great cause and not to disappoint the lover!

Good!

As long as you have me in your heart, I will help you achieve the great cause!
