Chapter 253 (2/2)

“He's fine” Upon saying that, Lord Daoist Jinghe's gaze seehts He looked at her for a long tihts before he finally spoke again: “You seem to not be surprised at all”

Mo Tiange didn't understand what Lord Daoist Jinghe meant “What should I be surprised about?”

Lord Daoist Jinghe chuckled and said, “From what I remember… you've worshi+pped me as your master for so many years, but you've never , and I also almost never mentioned his name in front of you”

Mo Tiange was stunned Now she realized what he was trying to say, so she lowered her head and stayed silent

Lord Daoist Jinghe heaved a sigh and s—you already knew everything”

“…” Mo Tiange ht've been silent, but she didn't lose her composure

She recognized Qin Xi, but she never ain, she didn't harbor any doubts regarding hi a Core Formation cultivator Today, she even asked so openly about Senior Martial Brother Shoujing's condition So, what did this all mean?

After finishi+ng the wine in his cup, Lord Daoist Jinghe once again looked at her “Can you tell Master; when did you first find out?”

Mo Tiange's head remained lowered She just silently fiddled with the jade pendant hanging on her waist She used to wear this Spirit-Concealing Pendant on her neck, but it was snatched by Ruan Mingzhu inside the Ten Thousand Laws of Nature Forave it back to her

One side of this jade pendant was engraved with delicate cloud patterns However, the center of the other side was engraved with a tiny “Qin” She obtained this jade pendant when she was ten years old and since then, it never left her body When she had free ti what kind of person its previous master was and whether he harbored ill intentions or not When she entered Xuanqing School, she did have so, but she never had a chance until the de's Virtual Sky World…

“It was the year the demonic beast riot occurred, when I followed Senior Martial Sister Suxin to the battlefield…”

Lord Daoist was surprised “So early?”

Mo Tiange looked down and saze “At first, I never thought… it wasn't until that year when I followed Senior Martial Sister Suxin to the battlefield and went to Luoyan Cliff, and I accidentally entered reat ancestor toldthe several days Senior Martial Brother Shoujing went reat ancestor's Illusory Sky Forster surnaht it was Senior Martial Brother Shoujing, but in the end, the one I saas ‘Senior Martial Brother Qin'”

“So you became suspicious?”

Mo Tiange shook her head “At that tie When we later left the Virtual Sky World, it was obviously Senior Martial Brother Qin as injured, but I only heard about Senior Martial Brother Shoujing being gravely injured so he returned to Mount Taikang Sure enough, after that, I've never heard any news about Senior Martial Brother Qin again”

“…” Lord Daoist Jinghe was silent for ages before he finally spoke again “It was no wonder all these years that you've never asked about ‘Senior Martial Brother Qin'”

“Inside the Virtual Sky World, reat ancestor once chatted with another Deification senior in front ofSpiritual Bead inside his body but at that ti Spiritual Bead was When Senior Martial Brother Qin careat ancestor said Senior Martial Brother Qin possessed double spiritual roots,in nature, and that he possessed a Yang Spiritual Bead… From that moment, I started to be doubtful”

Many Qin Shoujing-relatedSchool For exa double metal and fire spiritual roots—even ordinary part-tih she didn't knohat a Yang Spiritual Bead was, froreat ancestor said, she understood it must be a kind of rare spiritual treasure in this world—as the chance of two people having it at the same time?

At this point, another sht look very normal e don't think about them, but e do, we'll immediately notice that they're riddled with holes After I had those doubts, I thought about everything carefully That so-called Senior Martial Brother Qin—which part of him resembled a low level cultivator? When he was in Yunwu Sect, he didn't like to talk with us low level cultivators probably because our cultivation levels differed tooto say When my secret was discovered and I was forced to flee froroup of Foundation Building cultivators However, when Senior Martial Brother Qin arrived, he was able to iht he had some kind of secret technique he couldn't tellmade sense if he was a Core Formation cultivator”

Lord Daoist Jinghe revealed a sht ouldn't be able to keep you in the dark for too long, but all these years, I never heard you ed to keep you in the dark”

“…Thewas that if Senior Martial Brother Qin indeed existed, why did nobody on all of Mount Taikang recognize him? When I didn't have any doubts, I would always find some excuse for Senior Martial Brother Qin, but once doubts ewas Senior Martial Brother Qin”

Lord Daoist Jinghe heaved a deep sigh “Then why didn't you say anything all these years?”

Mo Tiange, who'd been keeping her head lowered, stared at her toes in silence After a long time, she finally said softly, “… Master, to be honest, at that time, I felt very uncomfortable—I didn't understand why he did this in the end… At that tihout my whole journey, Senior Martial Brother Qin watched over me, so initially, I was extremely thankful to him However, I suddenly found out about this matter—I then re to achieve”

Lord Daoist Jinghe had been listening to her quietly, but now, he frowned and shook his head “You've always been steady, but you were young after all, and you're also rather paranoid, so when you suddenly found out about this htened and think of the worst What about after that?”

“After that… I paid attention for a long tih, if I didn't purposely ask about him, there was practically no trace whatsoever of Senior Martial Brother Qin throughout the entire Xuanqing School At that time, I even wondered if his name was also fake”

Lord Daoist Jinghe said with a s his Gold Core, Xi'er also never used his real identity when he traveled around After he forer used his given name and instead used his Daoist naiven na our own disciples”

Mo Tiange also smiled She didn't knohether or not she should feel a bit relieved that his name was real at least

Lord Daoist Jinghe spoke again: “It's been several dozen years already, but you've never spoken about this—in the end, are you still feeling hurt about the iven him?”

Mo Tiange took ato his identity, he's Master's blood-related junior and direct disciple, and I was accepted by Master as a disciple because of hi to cultivation level, he's a Core Fore chance of successfully for his Nascent Soul, while I have yet to form my Gold Core What kind of position aive him or not?”

Upon hearing what she said, a deep wrinkle for yourself like this… Could it be that you still harbor sorievances in your heart?”
