Chapter 115 Adopted Son On the fifth day after Ruan Xing arrived in Zhongzhou, which was also the twenty-first day after the Zhongzhou tour group left Nanzhou. There has finally been new progress in this matter. At that time, Ruan Xingzheng and Qin Taihe were walking on the road together. Meng Hui chose today to transcend the tribulation. In preparation for such an important life event, she found an uninhabited mountain within the sect's territory one day in advance and set up a formation. Two blue meteors streaked across the sky at high speed, and Ruan Xing noticed them. She asked in confusion, "They flew across the peak on a sword. Senior Brother, who were those two Dao Lords just now?" Because basically most of the peak masters live on the peaks, it is a common practice not to fly the sword higher than the peak when traveling between peaks. Even other peak masters rarely do this to make their fellow disciples unhappy. Qin Taihe raised his eyes and took a look. "It shouldn't be. Judging from the direction they are going, they are probably the disciples that the sect master sent out to do some work. They may have something urgent to report." Ruan Xing said "oh" in understanding, and Qin Taihe continued: "It has nothing to do with us anyway, let's go." As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Taihe suddenly stopped and took out his sect's jade token, as if he had received some news. After a while, he said, "Master called me. It seems that I can't watch Senior Sister Meng Hui's tribulation today. I will go find Master. Are you still going to watch the tribulation?"
What's so interesting about the heavenly tribulation? She has already gone through it once in the simulation. "How can I go if you don't take me with you? I'm not familiar with Senior Sister Meng Hui." Ruan Xing said. In reality, she only met Meng Hui when she returned to Yaoguang Peak the day before yesterday. They didn't even say a few words. It might be inappropriate to go there directly. "How about you take me with you to see the Peak Master?" Ruan Xing suggested. "No." Qin Taihe refused decisively. "Master didn't ask you to come with me. I can't take you with me." "How indifferent." Ruan Xing muttered, and had to say, "Okay, then go ahead. Tell me if you have any new things later." True Lord Qinghong's spiritual consciousness had been staring at her, and he must have known that she had been staying with Qin Taihe these days. Since he didn't mention her when he sent the message to Qin Taihe, he probably didn't want to see her. But her sighting of Qintaihe should be related to the two streams of light just now. Is there anything major happening in the Xuanbing Sect recently that is worthy of the Sect Master personally sending people to investigate? Ruan Xing thought about it based on the information he already knew, and it was probably related to the events in Nanzhou. It was a pity that this incident did not involve her in the previous simulation, so she did not pay too much attention to it, resulting in her memory not knowing what exactly happened. But now, she wanted to get involved. Maybe this would be a suitable time to leave Xuanbing Sect and form a pill. After thinking about it, Ruan Xing immediately opened the real-scene simulation and flew towards the Weapon Refining Peak on his sword. Xu Sirui is the daughter of the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. She should be well-informed and might know the whole story. If she meets Xu Sirui when she goes to the Weapon Refining Peak, she can think of a way to ask her. However, Xu Sirui was not at the Weapon Refining Peak every day. Although she did not practice, in addition to refining weapons and spying on Qintai He, she also had a job in the Law Enforcement Hall and sometimes ran back to the Xu family. Because she wanted to learn the art of refining while Xu Sirui was away, she found out this information. She had originally planned to go to the Law Enforcement Hall if Xu Sirui was not there, but she was lucky. Xu Sirui happened to be at the Weapon Refining Peak today, and she was not refining weapons. Instead, she was sitting on a large rock nearby, chatting excitedly with several cultivators. Ruan Xing walked to a place not far from her, found a weapon refiner, cleared her throat and asked, "Brother, I just got a flying sword, but I can't tell what the raw materials are. How should I maintain it?" Of course, this was just an excuse. The flying sword was never maintained in her hands, and only those monks who particularly treasured their own magic weapons would understand this knowledge. Sure enough, when Xu Sirui heard her voice, he frowned and turned his head, sneering: "Your broken sword is not as good as the scraps I casually threw into the furnace, what's the point of maintaining it." Ruan Xing immediately retorted: "This is the sword that Senior Brother Qintai gave me. It's not a broken sword." Xu Sirui's expression changed, "Why would he give you a sword?"
As soon as she said this, Xu Sirui knew she had spoken out of turn. Her love for Qin Taihe was a very rare thing in Xuanbing Sect. Because of Qin Taihe's family background and personality, female cultivators were afraid of him. She also knew that there was no possibility for her and Qin Taihe, but this was not a topic that could be discussed or laughed at. She immediately lowered her voice and said threateningly, "Junior Sister Ruan, your sword is a short sword with a thin handle that female cultivators like. How can they understand how female cultivators love magic swords? Why don't you ask me and I can teach you." Others didn't know that she was interested in Qin Taihe, and even on the surface, they didn't know each other. Others were quickly diverted by Xu Sirui's words. A petite female cultivator echoed, "I also like to use short swords. If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me." "Thank you very much, Senior Sisters." Ruan Xing also wanted to chat with Xu Sirui privately, "Is Senior Sister Xu free now?" Xu Sirui was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her malicious intentions were so obvious. This girl actually wanted to talk to her alone. Wasn't she really afraid that she would beat her up in private? After thinking for a second, she agreed, "Of course, let's go over there and talk." The two walked to the side, away from the people in the furnace area, and Xu Sirui couldn't wait to ask: "Qin Taihe never gets close to people, why would he give you a sword? What tricks did you play?" Ruan Xing said, "Hey, I just cooperated with you, why don't you cooperate with me and answer a few questions for me?" "What qualifications do you have to bargain with me?" Xu Sirui was furious. Thinking of his embarrassing scene on Yaoguang Peak that day, he raised his hand and wanted to teach Ruan Xing a lesson. Ruan Xing quickly raised his dagger to block, interrupting Xu Sirui's action: "I haven't even unsheathed my sword, I'm not here to fight with you. Once you answer my questions, I will not only tell you why Senior Brother Qintai gave me something, but I can also give you this sword. How about it?" "Give it to me and then go to him and complain that I stole it from you? Ha, how despicable." "If you don't want it, forget it." Ruan Xing couldn't help but roll his eyes. "want." Qin Taihe didn't like her anyway, so it didn't matter if it was one more or one less. If he went to find her in person and asked her to return it, he could have more contact with her. "What do you want to do?" Ruan Xing thought for a moment and asked, "What were you talking about with them just now? They looked so happy. What good news is going on?" Xu Sirui immediately said with some pride: "Humph, my Senior Brother Mu is back. The Sect Master appreciates him very much and has entrusted him with an important task. This time when he completes his mission and comes back, my father will adopt him as his adopted son." Senior Brother Mu? Ruan Xing thought of the two streams of light she saw and asked, "What mission did he complete?" "Of course it's Nanzhou... Oh, I forgot that you are also from Nanzhou." Xu Sirui laughed contemptuously, "The matter in Nanzhou will soon have a result. The disciples who participated in the secret realm were wiped out, and the elders in the sect disappeared or were killed. The head and elders of Nanzhou will all be in trouble. Since you are a registered disciple of Qinghong Zhenjun, you should not have a master in Nanzhou. That's good, so you don't have to be sad for them." "Elder Xu from Nanzhou was your second uncle, right? Aren't you sad when he died?" Ruan Xing looked at Xu Sirui's suddenly changed expression, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He pressed him, "Why did you adopt a son instead of a disciple? The Senior Brother Mu you mentioned is Elder Xu's eldest disciple, right? Did your father adopt him as his son so that he could return to Nanzhou to take over Elder Xu's job in the future? What's so good about Nanzhou? Why do you keep sending people there? Is your Xu family using the affairs of the Nanzhou sect to enrich yourself?" She seemed to know where all the spirit stones that disappeared when Elder Xu was in charge of the sect's affairs went. However, it's just tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones every year. Is it worth it?
