Chapter 997

"Heh heh, so Junior Sister Xuezhen already knew?

I thought you would keep your mouth shut. I didn't expect you to bring it up today! "

"Please forgive me, Hierarch. When I first saw Zixia, I had some suspicions.

But Hierarch is as wise as the sea. You must know my suspicions. Since you insist on keeping Zixia, you must have your own plans. Of course, I didn't dare to have any other ideas … Moreover, according to my observations over the past few years, there was nothing strange about Zixia. It seemed … that she was really kept in the dark and didn't know anything. But … Senior Sister Jingxuan's death … didn't seem to have anything to do with her! "

"Alas, not everyone can see the true face of the Saintess of the Tenryū Sect. Even in the Incense Cult, only I had the chance to see her. Junior Sister Xuezhen must have met her by chance in Jianghu in her early years!"

"Yes … That was more than 95 years ago!"

"Therefore, Senior Sister Jingxuan brought this … Zixia back to the Fragrant Cult. Although she had good intentions, for a poor child who did not know her origins and had lost her memories, she did not know that she had already brought a hot potato back to Lingering Fragrance Peak.

"Hierarch, do you also think … that Zixia is the daughter of the Saintess of the Tenryū Sect?"

Nun Jingyi smiled bitterly. She knocked on the chair with her hand and said, "Zixia's face is almost exactly the same as the Saintess of the Tenryū Sect 95 years ago. I'm not blind. How can I not see it?

If you say that Zixia has nothing to do with the Saintess of the Tenryū Sect, then … then no one will believe it!

This is also the reason why I didn't give her a veil and didn't accept her into the Mo Xuan Palace! "

"I understand. Others think that Hierarch tolerates Zixia because of Senior Sister Jingxuan. You even let her participate in the Orchid Evening Refinement. Actually …"

"Haha, actually, our cult doesn't dare to offend the Tenryū Sect too much. Besides … we also want the Tenryū Sect's spies to quickly recognize Zi Xia's face so that this matter can be reported back to the Tenryū Sect. Then, we can send Zi Xia safely back to the Tenryū Sect!"

"However, Junior Sister Jing Xuan met with a mishap. This sect was astonished. Such a mysterious method should have been done by the Tenryū Sect. Since the daughter of the previous generation's Saintess was by Junior Sister Jing Xuan's side, how would they dare to do such a thing?"

"So, Sect Master, you think … this purple mist might not be …?"

"That's right. Our Church had some doubts, so … so we sent Zixia to accompany Ren Xiaoyao to the Dalin Temple!"

"That's strange, Sect Leader, but … why didn't you send him directly to the Tenryū Sect?

Wouldn't we know after a test? "Nun Xue Zhen was very puzzled.

"Junior Sister Xue Zhen, although our cult can't confirm that Zi Xia is the descendant of the Tenryū Sect's Saintess, according to old legends, the previous Saintesses of the Tenryū Sect were all the daughters of the Tenryū Sect's Sect Master Di Shi Tian. We can't risk sending Di Shi Tian's daughter to Di Shi Tian. Isn't this a clear slap to the Tenryū Sect's face?

Ordering Sect Master Di Shi Tian's daughter around? "

"Oh, I understand!"

Nun Xue Zhen was enlightened. "Sending Zi Xia to the Dalin Temple can first test the Tenryū Sect's reaction, and second tell the Tenryū Sect that we didn't know this was the descendant of your Saintess.

Sect Master is brilliant!!! "

"Haha, Junior Sister, you only know one thing but don't know the other. There's a second reason why we sent Zi Xia!"

"Eh?

Sect Leader, please enlighten us! "

"That's … that's Ren Xiaoyao!!!"

"Ren Xiaoyao?

That silly brat??? "Nun Xue Zhen was even more baffled." Isn't he … just a lucky brat? "

"Ah, he's not just lucky." Nun Jing Yi smiled wryly. "He's the only person our sect can't figure out!"

"Didn't … didn't he call himself some Beidou school?

A small mountain sect?

A sect like that is as common as a carp crossing a river in the jianghu. Who would remember it?

Sect Leader, you can just send someone to investigate. "

"The key is that he's a Beidou school. Our sect has already sent people to investigate, but it hasn't been long enough, so we haven't made any progress. However, do you remember what Rejuvenation Valley's Nie Qianyu said in front of those from the Immortal Dao?"

"Of course I do. She's just an infatuated child who doesn't understand the ways of the world. She's still thinking about Ren Xiaoyao in her heart. It can't be counted as real!"

"But Junior Sister, haven't you thought about it?

Does the formation Rejuvenation Valley used to face the enemy have anything to do with Ren Xiaoyao? "

"That's impossible!!!"

Nun Xuezhen immediately shook her head. "Rejuvenation Valley has been established for over a thousand years. It's not strange for them to occasionally obtain some formations from the Immortal Dao that can resist martial arts. What does this have to do with Ren Xiaoyao?"

"But don't forget, Nie Qianyu told the seniors from the Immortal Dao that she'd already obtained some of the Beidou school's incantations for internal strength!"

"This …" Nun Xuezhen really hadn't paid attention to this sentence.

"Our sect has already sent people to investigate. Nie Qianyu's constitution is weak and she can't practice martial arts. Therefore, the martial arts passed down in Rejuvenation Valley are only practiced by her eldest sister, Nie Qianrong, and second sister, Nie Qianxiu. She doesn't even have the strength to truss up a chicken.

But look, she's already obtained some Beidou school's incantations!!!

Needless to say, they were passed down by Ren Xiaoyao. This incantation … what kind of incantation is it?

Can it allow a woman who can't practice martial arts to practice it? "

"Why don't we have the disciples of Carefree City ask Nie Qianyu?"

"It was possible in the past, but now … it's no longer possible!"

Nun Jing Yi shook her head. "The jade talisman given by the Immortal Dao senior is too dangerous. Even the Tenryū Sect … tsk tsk, they wouldn't dare to use force!"

Then, she said thoughtfully, "The strangest thing is that Ren Xiaoyao has the incantation for this internal strength incantation, but his own internal strength isn't good enough. His lightness skill is a complete mess. When he barged into Lingering Fragrance Peak, he relied entirely on the strength of his arms. That sword embryo is also half-baked. Hmm, not exactly half-baked. It should be some kind of strange sword technique … Don't you think this is strange?"

"So … Lord Sect Leader sent Ren Xiaoyao to Huan Xu?" Nun Xuezhen was enlightened.

"That's right. Our sect wanted to see Ren Xiaoyao's true ability!

It's just that … it's just that this guy is a troublemaker. Just as he entered Huan Xu, a huge change happened there … "

"Could it be that Lord Sect Leader suspects that the huge change has something to do with Ren Xiaoyao?"

"It'll be great if it has something to do with him!"

Nun Jing Yi smiled bitterly. "To be able to mess up Huan Xu's array, what kind of Immortal Dao cultivation does he have?

Even our sect … won't have this kind of ability even if we cultivate for another sixty years. Ren Xiaoyao … how could he have it? "

"And … the most reassuring thing is …" Nun Jing Yi looked out the window and sighed. "Ren Xiaoyao … he actually gave me the Cao Huan Pill that Mo Qingshan found!!!"

"Mo Qingshan?

Cao Huan Pill??? "Nun Xuezhen cried out in shock." Mo Qingshan … is he still alive?

Cao Huan Pill???

Isn't … isn't that the legendary Immortal Dao spiritual herb?

Once consumed, it'll immediately … "

"Mo Qingshan died long ago. I don't know when he died. Sigh, it's been hard on him …"

Then, she sighed again. "Junior Sister Xuezhen is right. I didn't expect that the Cao Huan Pill in the Immortal Dao's legends would really exist in Huan Xu.

Think about it, if that Ren Xiaoyao was a person of the Immortal Dao, how … how could he return the Cao Huan Pill to our sect?

He only needed to consume the Cao Huan Pill himself and destroy the thing that Mo Qingshan left for our sect. Who in this world would know that it was Ren Xiaoyao who took the Cao Huan Pill? "

"Yes, Sir Cult Leader is right. It can only mean that Ren Xiaoyao doesn't seem to understand. He's indeed a person of the Martial Dao, and he's also from a small mountain sect!

No wonder Sir Cult Leader … was so protective of him in the past. It turns out that there's such a reason behind it! "

"Yes, this is also the reason why our sect couldn't see through Ren Xiaoyao. However, this isn't the reason why our sect trusts Ren Xiaoyao. Hehe, this time we sent Ren Xiaoyao to be with Zixia. It's also … also because we want to see what kind of person he is!"

"Who cares what kind of person he is? He's not a person of the Immortal Dao. Didn't you hear that the Immortal Dao senior hasn't heard of Beidou school?

Since he's a person of the Martial Dao, there's no way he can escape from our Fragrant Cult! "

"But, Junior Sister Xuezhen, you … seem to have forgotten something!"

"What is it?" Abbess Xuezhen asked curiously.

"Nie Qianyu?" Abbess Jing Yi smiled. "Junior Sister, have you forgotten?

Nie Qianyu is the only disciple of our Protector. Not only did she bear the reputation of being unmarried, but she also claimed to be a disciple of Beidou school. For her to have the determination to reject the Immortal Dao means that her love for Ren Xiaoyao … is stronger than gold. What else can it mean?

If our sect wants to kill Ren Xiaoyao, this little girl will crush the jade slip in anger. Although the Immortal Dao senior may not reach out to meddle in this matter, but … if this girl also enters the Immortal Dao, I'm afraid it'll be detrimental to our Fragrant Cult in the future! "

With a hiss, Abbess Xuezhen sucked in a breath of cold air and smiled bitterly. "I really didn't think that much. I really didn't think there were so many implications. Pulling one hair will affect the whole body. I really can't act rashly!"

"But, this little girl … doesn't seem to know about the matter between Zixia and Ren Xiaoyao. If she knew … would she still act like this?" Abbess Xuezhen probed.

"Alas, who knows?

The most difficult thing to understand in this world is love. No one knows what Nie Qianyu is thinking. Maybe it's because of love that she hates, or maybe it's because of love that she loves even more?

But, this … isn't something we need to consider. Anyway, Ren Xiaoyao is our Protector. If we can use him, then use him. If we can't use him, then don't use him. "

"Leader, you're brilliant!"

Abbess Xuezhen bowed and said, "I didn't expect Leader to be so clear about these details. I thought Leader had only heard of Nie Qianyu's name!"

"Junior Sister Xuezhen, you must remember that the details determine success or failure. Any small link can affect the big picture in the end!"

"Heh heh, well, we've said so many useless and depressing things. Now … let's talk about something that makes people happy!"

Abbess Jing Yi stretched, which was rare for her, and said with a smile, "Have you done the things I asked you to do?"
