Chapter 30 [030] This is an opportunity

It took half an hour to give the boy a general account of the current situation.

Zhong Lijin looked at his hands, somewhat incredulous: "So... my spiritual roots have been repaired and I can practice again?"

There was a faint gleam of water in those eyes as bright as stars, carrying with them the surprise of having been saved from a desperate situation.

"Yes, Junior Brother Zhongli! Congratulations!" Cangying said with a smile.

"Thank you, you..." Zhong Lijin thought for a moment, "Should I call you, Senior Sister Cang?"

Cangying stamped her feet shyly and said in a low voice: "Oh! You're welcome! It's all my own fault!~"

Elder Cangyan yawned, "His body is fine now. He attracted the lightning with his body, and he should have died, but it seems that something protected his heart meridian, so he was able to survive. The lightning passed through his body, which filled his spiritual power and further stabilized his unstable spiritual roots. It can be considered a blessing in disguise..."

After saying that, the woman turned around sleepily, with a lazy and charming posture, and opened her red lips slightly: "This elder is going back to sleep, Ying'er, you must not disturb me again for the next month."

"Yes! Master!" Cangying said.

After she finished speaking, she sat down beside the boy's bed and continued to ramble on: "Junior brother, you don't know, I was scared when I saw you and Shi Qing rushing towards the monster."

Zhong Lijin was startled, his eyebrows slightly knitted, his handsome and fair face showing a bit of displeasure and confusion: "I... follow Shi Qing? Charge together?"

Cangying slapped her head and said in annoyance: "Look at me! I forgot that your memory regressed again."

She spent another half an hour telling the young man about what happened after he participated in the secret realm as a disciple of Xuanxiao Sect.

However, the more the boy listened, the deeper his frown became.

What Senior Sister Cang said should be true, but Zhongli Jin didn't think he would have a good face towards Shi Qing.

Even though his memory was fading now, he couldn't face Shi Qing normally.

After all, for him now, Shi Qing came to cancel the engagement with a cold attitude yesterday, and he was so angry that he even vomited blood and fainted.

"By the way, Shi Qing should be outside with her junior sister now. Do you want her to come in to see you?" Cangying asked.

Zhongli Jin said firmly: "No need."

The young man's tone was extremely cold when he mentioned Shi Qing. Zhongli Zhen and Shi Yue looked at each other, not knowing how to tell him that they had made a mistake in marrying someone.

*
Zhongli Jin woke up.

But Shi Qing did not rush into Baicao Pavilion, but stayed with Shi Xiang on the large terrace.

She stood in front of the body that was wrapped in bandages like a mummy, reached out her hand, and poked her face with her index finger.

Shen Xiang: “…Woo!”

Sick! Let her go!

Shi Qing said: "Not yet."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

--Why?!!
"Because—" Shi Qing's face was calm and serious. He leaned over slightly to Chen Xiang's ear and said word by word: "It's not over yet."

???

Shen Xiang didn't understand what she meant by "not finished yet".

But soon, she found out.

Suddenly, several guardian elders from other sects flew onto the large terrace outside Baicao Pavilion on swords.

The elders had different expressions, and their eyes were full of sharpness as they looked at Shi Qing and Chen Xiang.

"Junior, Shi Qing, hello, senior." Shi Qing still had to give them some face and follow the etiquette in front of them: "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

After being injured by Zhongli's sword just now, she has taken a blood-recovering pill and is now in good health.

The guardian elders looked at each other, and then seemed to send one of them forward, stroked his beard, raised his head slightly and said: "Nothing, just came to take a look."

"The severely injured young man is Zhongli Jin from Xuanxiao Sect?"

"That's right." Shi Qing nodded.

Several people seemed to be thinking about something, with a gleam in their eyes. Shi Qing was very sure that they did not come for Zhongli Jin, but just wanted to use the young man to start a conversation.

Sure enough, another person set his eyes directly on Shi Xiang who was beside her, his eyes flashed sharply, and said: "As the host of the secret realm, Sanqingshan should understand the rules better than other sects. I just don't know how to convince other sects in the cultivation world if you take the lead in violating the rules now?"

The other party seemed to see that the mummy looked like a disciple of Sanqing Mountain, but Shi Qing remained calm and neither humble nor arrogant, "Excuse me, senior."

"What do you mean?"

Seeing her playing dumb, the elder who spoke first snorted coldly and narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the matter? Junior Shi Qing is naturally aware that the secret realm stipulates that five people are allowed to enter. This is the case for all sects and schools. But now six disciples from Sanqing Mountain have entered! And you still say that you haven't violated the rules?!"

Shi Qing straightened his back, his eyes calm and serious: "No, there is no such thing."

"No such thing?!" He pointed at Shi Xiang, "Then explain what this is? Why did I come out with you?! I remember that the disciples from Sanqing Mountain this time are Shen Yunying, Liu Muzhou and Chu Cheng, plus you and the female doctor from Baicao Pavilion, why is there one more person?!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiang suddenly understood what Shi Qing meant by "not finished yet".

So someone will really come to check!!!

What would Shi Qing, the stutterer, say?

Can she win over others? !

Unexpectedly, the next second, Shi Qing held his head high and said four words with great sincerity and conviction: "This is opportunity! Fate!"

This is the opportunity she found in the secret realm!

Several elders: "..."

What a liar! ! !
"Young Shi Qing, do you think we are fools?" The leader gritted his teeth slightly, somewhat losing the demeanor of an elder.

"How could it be?" Shi Qing asked seriously, pulling the bandage wrapped around Shen Xiang and repeating, "It is indeed, chance - puppet, puppet, technique."

"..."

Cangyue Mountain and Qionghua Sect are currently the sects second only to Sanqing Mountain in strength. In recent years, they have never been convinced of Sanqing Mountain's title as the number one sect for cultivating the Tao, so they always like to find various loopholes in Sanqing Mountain, step on one and praise another, and elevate themselves.

Now that they have discovered that Sanqing Mountain may have violated the rules in the once-in-a-hundred-year secret realm training, they will naturally work hard to publicize this matter and reduce the credibility of Sanqing Mountain.

It is said that Shi Qing of Sanqing Mountain is extremely cold and taciturn. If they come to question him, they will definitely be able to make him speechless and difficult to refute. Unexpectedly, this person is used to talking nonsense! Seeing that several elders still did not believe it, Shi Qing did not say much. He raised his hand and injected a stream of spiritual power into Shen Xiang's eyebrows, and then continued: "This is a puppet, not a disciple of Sanqing."

Shen Xiang: “…”

Then she heard Shi Qing say, "Move."

The bandage strips suddenly made her body jump up like a zombie.

"Twirl around."

The bandage strips circled her body twice.

"Dance."

The mummy dragged its extremely stiff body and twisted it with difficulty, doing some extreme popping, just like those masked female nurses with stiff limbs in Silent Hill.

Shen Xiang: “…”

——Psycho!!!
At this moment.

The elders' faces had turned purple.

Perhaps they didn’t expect that Shi Qing, as a disciple of the head of Sanqing Mountain, would be such a shameless thing. They stopped being polite and directly attacked Shen Xiang with a palm, “Today, I will see what kind of puppet you are!”

Shi Qing's eyes turned cold, he drew out the long sword from his waist and blocked his strong wind. The strong wind deflected and hit another cliff, causing a loud noise!

"Qing'er, what happened?" The voice attracted Shi Yue who was in the house to come out.

When the handsome man saw the elders from Cangyue Mountain and Qionghua Sect outside the door, his face instantly turned colder like Shi Qing. He spoke in a low voice with an unquestionable and uninfringing majesty, word by word, coldly: "Elder Gu Ming, Elder Cha Yu, Elder Wang Bing and Elder Bai Dao, why are you here to protect the Dharma in front of the Shuiyue Magic Mirror and come to my Sanqing Jinping Peak? You even rashly tried to hurt my closed disciple and that——"

Shi Yue paused for a moment, his eyes fell on Shen Xiang behind Shi Qing. Looking at the man who was wrapped in bandages all over his body and couldn't even see his face, he hesitated for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "...Bandage weirdo?"

Shen Xiang: “…”

The elders were still a little wary of Shi Yue. Firstly, there was a gap in their cultivation levels. Secondly, when Shi Yue had just become the head of Sanqing, they had come to him in the name of congratulations. They had tried to suppress Shi Yue by acting like seniors, but were slapped in the face instead. In the friendly competition, the four of them combined but were unable to touch the corner of Shi Yue's clothes, which was extremely humiliating.

Elder Wang Bing, in particular, hated the younger generation for not respecting his seniors' face.

But Shi Yue never indulged these four old guys who took advantage of their seniority, and naturally he would not give them any face.

"Qing'er, this thing you brought out from the secret realm--" Shi Yue frowned slightly.

Shi Qing: "Puppet."

"Oh, puppet." Shi Yue waved his whisk in understanding, then looked at the four elders, raised his eyebrows and said, "My disciple said that it was an opportunity he found, and he just demonstrated the puppet technique to you all. What else do you not believe?"

"My Sanqing Mountain has always been impartial and has stood firm in the cultivation world for thousands of years. We put principles first and abide by rules. No matter what, we will never do anything that violates the rules. I know that several elders have been dissatisfied with Sanqing Mountain and this leader for a hundred years. They think that this leader is young, but has already reached the stage of transcending tribulation, surpassing the four of them by more than one realm, and has formed the elixir earlier. His appearance has not changed for a hundred years, and he is still handsome and suave, unlike the four of you who are gray-haired and have wrinkles on their faces."

Shi Yue seemed to be getting more and more excited as he spoke: "This leader is obviously a child of destiny, yet he is so humble and polite, gentle and elegant, with great credibility, a great reputation, and is deeply loved and believed in. It is normal for you to feel aggrieved, so I understand that you deliberately pick on Sanqing Mountain, but——"

He changed the subject and said in a cold voice: "You should never question the opportunity that I, a young man, almost risked my life to find in the secret realm!"

"Puppetry was a common spiritual art on the battlefield tens of millions of years ago, but unfortunately it has long been lost in the passing of time. Now my disciple has gone through so much trouble to find one and bring it out, but he is questioned by four people. It is really chilling!"

Shi Yue spoke eloquently and forcefully, and the four elders, whose already gloomy faces turned even redder with anger.

"Shi Yue! Just be partial to me! You ignorant young man! Sooner or later, you will die from your arrogance!"

The man raised his eyebrows. "Of course, we are not older than you, but you should understand that you are just older, not more famous. It is the courtesy of Mount Sanqing to invite you as guardian elders for this secret realm training. If you want to act recklessly in Mount Sanqing again, I am afraid that no matter I am the head of Mount Sanqing or the host of this secret realm opening, I should ask you four to leave the mountain."

Although Shi Yue was smiling, that smile did not reach his eyes. The man stood with his back straight, exactly the same as Shi Qing next to him.

The master and disciple's standing postures are almost identical, and their expressions are almost the same, the left one is shameless and the right one is shameless.

The four elders were so angry that their beards were shaking. They pointed at Shi Yue and then at Shi Qing, "Okay, okay... okay!!"

Then he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left on his sword.

The terrace suddenly became quiet again.

Chen Xiang was so shocked by her daddy's sharp tongue that she couldn't say anything for a long time. It was not until Shi Qing removed the bandages wrapped around her that she relaxed all over and sat on the ground: "Oh my God... I almost suffocated to death."

"Silly girl!" Now it was Shi Yue's turn to have his face turn as black as the bottom of a pot.

He grabbed Chen Xiang by the collar and said angrily, "I told you not to go to the Magic Martial Secret Realm, but you still sneaked out?! Do you know how much trouble you almost caused your senior brothers and sisters this time?!"

Shen Xiang shrank her neck when she was yelled at, then she retorted with a red face: “But if you hadn’t refused to give me a place, would I have sneaked in by myself?!”

"Even if I give you a place, won't you cause trouble for your senior sisters?!"

It was the first time that Chen Xiang saw Shi Yue so angry after traveling here. Her eyes instantly turned red. She struggled to break free from Shi Yue's hand and cried, "Yes! I am a burden! No one loves me! I am spoiled! I am willful! But aren't all these spoiled by you?! You said it! I am your daughter! You give me everything I want! I don't have to care about anyone's face when I want to do anything! I am the sky, I am the earth! I am your only princess! You said it! But now you blame me for getting others hurt! I am obviously injured too! But until now you have no intention of caring about me except blaming me! Old Biden! I hate you! I don't want to be your daughter anymore!!"

After she finished crying, she turned around and ran away, took out her own fairy boat from her sleeve, sat on it, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shi Yue looked at his empty hands and seemed to slowly calm down.

Finally, he let out a long sigh, his eyes tired.

"Did I scare you, Qing'er?" Shi Yue looked at Shi Qing and smiled wearily, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. It would be great if Xiao Xiang could be as sensible as you."

Shi Qing: “…”

Please don't step on one and praise the other.

"But..." Shi Yue rubbed his chin and thought for a moment: "When did I ever say...she is the sky, she is the earth, and she is my only princess?"

Shi Qing: “…”

*
"Stupid daddy! Asshole daddy! Badass daddy!! He doesn't care about me at all!!"

Inside the fairy boat, Chen Xiang hugged her legs and sobbed.

Shi Yue and her daddy have the same face, and she inexplicably regards men as her hope in this world of immortal cultivation.

But the other party is not her real daddy after all.

[System...] Chen Xiang murmured in a hoarse voice: [I want to go home so much...]

【In this world. 】

【I am not his only one at all. 】

Here I come!! Good night! ~~~~
