Boom!!!
In this fiery space, the green light bloomed, instantly transforming the scorching volcanic cave into a cool place. The fiery red faded out, and even the buttonwood also became small.
“Sister.”
Su Bai walked out of the green light barefoot with pure white long clothes, and his waist-length hair was fluttering. He was handsome and had a perfect face. He brightened his eyes when seeing Su Li.
“Do you blame me that you couldn’t come out for a breath for a long time?”
Su Li touched Su Bai’s hair and talked softly. Su Bai closed his eyes comfortably, and leaned back, “Of course not. I have never complained about you. If it weren’t for you to run a risk in person, I would not grow so fast.”
As he said, Su Bai’s eyes turned and looked at the buttonwood which was suppressed in the corner and shivering, “I can feel that it is scared and not willing to be outdone. It is the Divine Thunder that was stronger than me a long time ago. Its spirit was destroyed by irreversible damage in a battle. In addition, it continually couldn’t get feed from Inborn Thunder for a long time. It only had a little spiritual light to sustain its life. So, it is half-dead now.”
Su Li nodded after listening, and the state of the Divine Thunder of Fire was similar to her expectation.
“Let’s get started.”
Su Bai smiled slightly and landed on the buttonwood.
“Give me half an hour to communicate with him, and he will be willing to go with you.”
Su Li nodded lightly with a smile.
She did not awaken to the mark of Divine Thunder of Fire. But as long as she could come into contact with Divine Thunder, the mark was not a problem at all. Speaking of it, she would have to thank Grand Elder Hua who helped her by accident.
When Xiang Nan flew out of the crater, Xiang Hua quickly approached. She gave a stern expression and turned her hands to close the volcano’s seal.
“Nan, I’m disappointed in you so much.”
Xiang Hua stopped in front of Xiang Nan with a cold face, “Do you even have to guard against me now?”
“Eldest Brother, I believe you, but…”
Xiang Nan looked at her eldest brother with a bitter expression, “If Chen Qing has had a few merits, I wouldn’t have indulged Qingshui. But don’t you know what Chen Qing has done in these years?”
“What?”
Xiang Hua raised his voice and was much angry, “What’s wrong with Chen Qing? He has awakened to the mark of Divine Thunder of Metal, and he is the best heir to the Divine Thunder of Metal. But he was ousted and crippled by a female disciple who has just joined the sect a few days ago. As the Grand Elder of Sect, how dare you ignore the rules and protect the criminal?!
I can tell who is right. I’m not blind.”
“You are blind!”
Xiang Nan retorted sharply, “Do you remember what our adoptive father taught us? Moral character is the priority. We couldn’t cultivate a person like Chen Qing, no matter how talented he is. Aren’t you afraid to cultivate an ungrateful person?”
“Then how can you ensure that Su Qingshui is not an ungrateful person?”
Xiang Hua sneered, “I don’t want to argue with you. Get out the way! She disabled my disciple, so now I will disable her!”
Xiang Nan took a deep breath. She became very disillusioned with him and finally paused. Her voice also became cold. “She is the holder of the ancient token, and no one of the sect can hurt her.”
“Ancient token?”
Xiang Hua continued to sneer, “It’s not clear whether it’s true or not. Don’t be fooled. Even if it’s true, it has been ten thousand years. How can such an old agreement be committed?”
“Xiang Hua! You have really a dotard now. You don’t even listen to adoptive father’s words. What on earth do you want to do?!”
Xiang Nan had a great heartache. How could her gentle and considerate brother become like this?
“Nothing.”
Xiang Hua flicked his sleeves, “I just know that the heir to Divine Thunder of Metal was ousted by Su Qingshui. How can I bear it? If you still remember our kinship, you should get out of my way!”
“The heir to the Divine Thunder of Metal?”
Xiang Nan snorted coldly, “Su Qingshui is the heir to the Divine Thunder of Fire. You can ignore the instructions left by the adoptive father, but you can’t violate the sect’s disciplines nowadays, right?”
“The heir of Divine Thunder of Fire?”
Xiang Hua widened his eyes, and then laughed out loud, “Are you kidding me? Su Qingshui has only been in the sect for a few days. She couldn’t awaken to the mark of Divine Thunder of Fire so quickly.”
“Now that you don’t believe me, I will show you that!”
Xiang Nan removed the seal of the crater with a wave of her sleeve. She said coldly, “Follow me. If you verify it, you should leave immediately. The Mount of Divine Thunder of Fire is my home court. If you want to hurt her, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
“Fine! Xiang Nan, that’s how you treat your eldest brother.”
Xiang Hua sneered again, “I’d like to see if Su Qingshui is such a prodigy as you said!”
Xiang Nan didn’t want to say a word to Xiang Hua anymore. She went into the crater without looking back. Xiang Hua immediately jumped in without saying anything.
After a while, they reached the center of the volcano. The buttonwood swayed in the wind. Everything was the same as it was when Xiang Nan left.
“Why is the temperature here lower?”
Xiang Nan walked in front, feeling a little surprised. The temperature didn’t drop significantly, so she didn’t think much about it. Seeing Su Li was sitting in meditation, she stepped forward with a smile and said,
“Qingshui, come here and greet with Grand Elder Hua.”
Su Li opened her eyes. Red light flashed through her eyes. She hadn’t completely digested the Divine Thunder of Fire, but it was not a problem for her to get up.
Hearing Xiang Nan was calling her, she walked to Xiang Nan and bowed her head, “Grand Elder Hua, Su Qingshui is here to salute you.”
Xiang Hua snorted coldly, “She looks beautiful. But I don’t know her talent. Is she really a prodigy?”
Xiang Nan looked at him in amazement and wondered why Xiang Hua’s attitude suddenly softened.
But it was great. She hurriedly said, “Qingshui, quickly reveal the mark of Divine Thunder of Fire. So, it can be admitted by us that you master Divine Thunder of Fire. You can stay here rightfully.”
As she said, Xiang Nan made finger gestures to conjure up a rune on her hand in her sleeve. Then the rune seal hidden in Su Li’s clothes immediately burned, and a mark of Divine Thunder of Fire appeared between Su Li’s eyebrows.
“Does she really awaken to the mark of Divine Thunder of Fire?”
Xiang Hua looked at Su Qingshui in shock. But Su Li thought his shock was a bit false. The pneuma of Divine Thunder of Fire rushed in her body, flowing towards the center of her eyebrows.
Suddenly, Xiang Hua grabbed Xiang Nan’s right hand by which she made finger gestures.
“Hahaha. Nan, do you really think I’m a fool? How dare you play tricks in front of me?”
Xiang Nan’s face changed drastically, and she was about to say something. But she heard Su Qingshui’s puzzled voice, “Grand Elder Hua, what are you doing?”
“Employ trickery! Su Qingshui, you …”
Xiang Hua turned his head and stopped talking, staring blankly at the shining fiery-red mark between Su Li’s eyebrows.
What was happening?
He clearly interrupted Xiang Nan. Why did the mark of Divine Thunder of Fire still appear between Su Qingshui’s eyebrows? And the pneuma…was too strong, as if she had inherited the Divine Thunder of Fire!
“Look! I didn’t lie.”
Xiang Nan hurriedly let go of Xiang Hua’s hand. Although she didn’t know what was going on, she breathed a sigh of relief and retorted, “What do you want to say now?”
Xiang Hua pulled a long face. After a moment of silence, he flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, “Su Qingshui, you…are very good!”
Then he left without looking back.
Su Li looked at his back meaningfully. Black light flashed through her eyes. She vaguely saw the essence of Xiang Hua.
Grand Elder Nan seemed a bit pitiful.
“Qingshui, you are doing well.”
When Xiang Hua left, Xiang Nan’s tight body relaxed, and then she said, “If you weren’t alert, the consequences would be disastrous after Xiang Hua perceives the facts. But…how do you conjure up this mark of Divine Thunder of Fire?”
The mark between Su Li’s eyebrows gradually disappeared, and she explained with a smile, “I also know a little about the method of rune seal and how to make a mark. I was afraid that something unexpected would happen, so I did some more preparations. I didn’t expect to actually use it.”
Xiang Nan nodded with satisfaction. She felt relieved that Su Qingshui was considerate. She wanted such a good heir disciple rather than Chen Qing.
“Since Xiang Hua has left, it means that he wouldn’t investigate this matter anymore. Do you choose to stay here or go back to the Mount of Holy Girl?”
Glancing at the buttonwood, Su Li showed helplessness on her face, “I want to get in touch with the Divine Thunder as soon as possible, but it is still too early now.”
“That’s fine.”
Xiang Nan had the same thought with Su Li, and she nodded, “You should go back to the Mount of Holy Girl and go out as little as possible recently, so as not to meet Grand Elder Hua.”
“I see.”
Su Li nodded, staring at buttonwood. She suddenly sighed, “The Divine Thunder of Fire is so spectacular. What does the Divine Thunder of Metal look like?”
“Ha-ha…”
Xiang Nan was relaxed at this moment. Hearing Su Li’s innocent words, she couldn’t help but laugh, “Although I can’t enter Xiang Hua’s Gengjin Tower, I can make a water mirror easily if you want to see the appearance of Divine Thunder of Metal.”
“Gengjin Tower?”
Su Li blinked, “What is that?”
Xiang Nan already trusted Su Li completely, and she replied, “Just like the Mount of Divine Thunder of Fire, the Gengjin Tower is also a holy treasure which was used to store Divine Thunder of Metal. But it is a treasure of Xiang Hua. I will be restrained everywhere if I go in it.”
Su Li suddenly realized, “It turns out that the Mount of Divine Thunder of Fire is also a holy treasure. No wonder that Grand Elder Hua is angry, but he behaved himself and didn’t attack me.”
“It’s the truth.”
It seemed that Xiang Nan was recalling her memories. Then she said helplessly, “These two holy treasures belonged to Ancestor Lei, and they have infinite power and energy to win. However, they can’t exert their power when my eldest brother and I own them. They can only be used as the tools to carry the Divine Thunders. That’s ridiculous…”
Su Li thought of something when she heard this, but she asked calmly on the surface, “Why?”
“Because of the Divine Thunders.”
Xiang Nan’s face was covered with wrinkles when she smiled. She looked at Su Li with expectation, “If you can control the Divine Thunder of Fire one day, I will pass this holy treasure to you. By then, your power must be at a higher level.”
Inexplicably, Su Li felt the brightened eyes of Xiang Nan was a little dazzling.
Grand Elder Nan, the person you trusted was a bad person as well.
