In her past life, her genius elder sister drained her heart's blood to treat a supposed heart ailment. Her most trusted relatives did not plead for her or mourn her death; they even sold her co...
Feng Piaopiao swore that he was in a good mood before he left home today, but after hearing what his fellow disciple Liu Yunzhao said, he felt terrible.
"Ha! Spreading rumors? Then tell her to spit out the Nine-Turn Life-Giving Pill first, and then say such things."
The wind blew lazily into everyone's ears, and the expressions on the faces of those present immediately varied.
Apart from Liu Yunzhao and his apprentice, very few people knew about the Nine-Turn Life-Giving Pill and the person who gave it the medicine.
But the ancestor who gave him the medicine happened to be the ancestor of the Shangqing Sect, who was also the direct descendant of Feng Piaopiao, and thus the master's master.
The disciple of Wanmiao Sect didn't really understand what was going on. He was just trying to save face for Liu Yunzhao and Wanmiao Sect. Who knew someone would come out and expose his secrets? He couldn't keep up appearances for long.
"Senior brother, you must rely on evidence in everything you do, and you can't just make things up."
Feng Piaopiao wasn't afraid of her at all, and snorted coldly:
"You were the one who denied that Liu Yunzhao was injured, so prove that she wasn't injured!"
The Wanmiao Sect disciple reacted quickly; upon hearing Feng Piaopiao's words, he immediately retaliated in kind:
"Okay, whoever questions first has to prove it. Let's let the rumor-mongers prove they didn't spread rumors first."
When will the wind ever let people off the hook?
Hearing this, he sneered and immediately pointed his sword at the heavens:
"I swear to the heavens that Liu Yunzhao and his disciples once obtained a Nine-Turn Life-Saving Pill from my ancestor to save their lives."
"Do you dare to swear an oath to the heavens that your Senior Sister Yun Zhao has never taken the Nine-Turn Life-Giving Pill brought back from the Shangqing Sect?"
The disciples of the Myriad Wonders Sect naturally dared not do so. Facing the gazes of so many people, their faces immediately turned red, and they were so embarrassed that they did not know what to do.
Just as they were thinking about how to say it without having to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and without losing face for the Myriad Wonders Sect, they heard a commotion coming from the back of the group.
"If Junior Nephew Feng cares so much about my health, why doesn't he go directly to the Myriad Wonders Sect to visit me? Why is he making things difficult for my fellow disciples here?"
Upon hearing the address "Nephew Feng," Feng Piaopiao frowned, but refused to back down, shouting loudly:
"To be honest is just making things difficult for people. What kind of people are you if you dare to do something but not take responsibility?"
"Besides, it wasn't me who started this trouble. It was my fellow disciple, Fairy Yun Zhao, who first asked me to prove myself. I dared to do it, but she didn't. Is that what you call making things difficult?"
"The code of conduct of the Myriad Wonders Sect is truly... hard to describe in a few words."
When Feng Piaopiao said the last sentence, he had already returned to his nonchalant state, and the last "it's hard to explain" was said in a flippant yet meaningful way.
The Wanmiao Sect disciples standing behind Liu Yunzhao all looked indignant, and Liu Yunzhao's eyes also flashed with anger, but she still reached out to stop the person who wanted to speak.
She stared at Feng Piaopiao for a while, the anger in her eyes dissipating, replaced by her signature smile, her tone carrying a strange hint of smugness:
"I was wondering why Junior Nephew Feng was so hostile towards me. I had forgotten that you and my half-sister seem to be old acquaintances."
"Also, if I remember correctly, besides my half-sister, Junior Nephew Feng seems to have a special relationship with Zhenru, a rogue cultivator from Luoxia City."
Feng Piaopiao didn't answer, but she was clearly listening attentively.
Liu Yunzhao slightly curled his lips, walked up to Feng Piaopiao, and said with a condescending scrutiny:
"What a coincidence! Could it be that my half-sister and Zhenru are actually the same person?"
Feng Piaopiao rolled her eyes, leaned against the tree trunk like a boneless creature, ignored Liu Yunzhao's words, and continued to speak loudly:
"Hey, fellow Daoists, come and listen!"
"Our chosen one, who is supposed to protect us, is being treated like the moon in the sky. Yet, when she speaks, she talks about legitimate and illegitimate children, just like an ordinary person!"
Feng Piaopiao's unyielding attitude and ruthless treatment of Liu Yunzhao finally made Liu Yunzhao lose face after several attempts.
The atmosphere on the field was awkward, and no one dared to speak.
The tense atmosphere finally eased when Chunyu Changfeng's voice, brimming with spiritual power, announced to everyone that the secret realm was about to open.
Just as the various sects and forces were lining up to enter the secret realm, Liu Yunqing, who had thoroughly searched the secret realm, was lying contentedly on the dragon's back, packing up the Liuyuan souvenirs he planned to give away after leaving the secret realm.
"Put this along with the eyeballs as a gift for the city lord."
"Keep this one for Master. She can take it herself when she sneaks over."
"This is perfect for Wuchen; it would be ideal to use it as prayer beads or other Buddhist implements."
"Hmm, give this to Feng Piaopiao, so she can refine more pills."
"The rest is all mine. I'll exchange any unused parts for spirit stones!"
After Liu Yunqing finished tidying up roughly, she happily put the things away, then rolled over and lay down on the dragon's back, stretching out her arms to relax.
Xiao Jiao, who had been watching her organize the gifts, grew increasingly anxious. Finally, after Liu Yunqing lay down, she couldn't hold back any longer and said:
"What about me? What about me? I'm your friend too! Why didn't you prepare a gift for me?"
Liu Yunqing opened one eye, looked at Xiao Jiao pacing anxiously, and patted the storage bracelet with amusement, saying:
"Of course yours should be put together with mine!"
"Theirs have very little, but ours have a lot."
Xiao Jiao remained silent, sensing something was amiss, but ultimately dismissed the claim based on Liu Yunqing's words.
Gu Dai did not stop Liu Yunqing and would tease Xiao Jiao from time to time. She now found Liu Yunqing very pleasing to the eye and not only did not stop him, but even thought the two children were really cute.
Especially recalling the scene when he led Liu Yunqing to sweep through the secret realm this month.
In the minds of many demon cultivators, humans are insatiable and want to possess everything of value.
But Liu Yunqing's actions at the time amazed Gu Dai.
No matter how good anything is, Liu Yunqing only takes one or two tenths of it.
When Gu Dai asked, Liu Yunqing frankly replied:
"With so many spiritual treasures in the world, how can we only use them ourselves?"
"If you don't have enough luck, you'll get entangled in too many major causes and effects, and then be dragged down."
"Besides, always leave room for maneuver, always have room for maneuver, and you'll have a clear conscience."
When Liu Yunqing said these words, his expression was casual and indifferent, but Gu Dai listened with great satisfaction.
With someone like that by her side, Xiao Jiao could finally relax and grow up with complete peace of mind.
Therefore, when the two dragons and one person returned to Liu Yunqing's temporary cave, Gu Dai formally entered into an equal contract with the two of them.
It wasn't that Gu Dai hadn't made a decision beforehand; it was simply because the Heavenly Dao within the secret realm was incomplete, making it impossible to form a complete contract.
Now that the secret realm has opened, connecting to the Heavenly Laws of the outside world, and those people haven't entered yet, it's the perfect time to form a bond.
Once the contract was successfully formed, before Liu Yunqing and Xiao Jiao could experience its wonders, Gu Dai proposed to leave.
"I'm entrusting Xiao Jiao to you. These Crimson Fire Dragon Tendons and Dragon Souls are perfect for refining your natal magic weapon. I'll give them to you."
After Gu Dai finished speaking, he ignored Xiao Jiao's tearful eyes, turned around and jumped into the lake without hesitation, sinking to the bottom.
Immediately afterward, Liu Yunqing sensed the aura of the cultivator who had been teleported there.
Turning back, Liu Yunqing waved his hand to blow up the temporary cave dwelling, then called to Xiao Jiao:
"Someone's approaching, let's go quickly."
