Chapter 259 Mature Immortal Bone
Hearing her straightforward refusal, the male cultivator widened his eyes in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
He even repeated it again: "Senior, didn't you understand what I meant? I am willing to help you completely extract the immortal bone from this child. With the immortal bone, it will only be a matter of time for you to ascend to immortality in the future!"
The male cultivator's tone was urgent and heavy, which showed how much he wanted to survive at the hands of Xie Liuyin.
But Xie Liuyin just shook his head and said: "I can ascend to immortality on my own. As for the immortal bone, let's leave it to this child."
Becoming an immortal by stealing other people's bones, what's the difference between this and those immortals who step on innocent monks to suffer tribulations?
Xie Liuyin wanted to overthrow the corrupt and dirty fairy world, but he didn't want to become such a person.
"I have one last question. Who is your master?" Xie Liuyin was too lazy to waste time talking to this guy and simply asked the question that concerned him most.
Hearing that she didn't care at all about the immortal bone, Liu Ruyun, who was secretly observing her, also breathed a sigh of relief.
The male cultivator was deeply shocked by Xie Liuyin's choice, but he dared not not answer her question.
After a moment of silence, he spoke in a depressed tone: "I can't tell you the true identity of that person. He has placed a ban on me. If I utter a word, I will die immediately. I don't want to die."
Fearing that Xie Liuyin would kill him in a rage, the male cultivator quickly added: "Although I can't tell you the old thief's name, I can help you identify him!"
Tsk, so “Master” is replaced by “old thief”?
This guy is quite smart.
Xie Liuyin sighed inwardly, but did not reveal it on his face.
She pondered for a moment and said, "Do you have a cure for this child's illness?"
"I really don't know about this. If I had such ability, I wouldn't have fallen into the lackey of that old villain." The male cultivator looked pitiful.
But Xie Liuyin felt that he was a lackey not because of his strength, but most likely because of his extraordinary talent.
After thinking for a while, Xie Liuyin turned to Liu Ruyun and said, "If I can't find out Xiao Nian's situation, I may have to take her back to Qingxiao Sect and ask my master or the sect master to take a look."
"But Miss Liu, don't worry. I will take you with me and will never let you and your daughter suffer the pain of separation."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyun naturally nodded repeatedly. She had originally thought that her Xiaonian would definitely not survive, but now the child finally had a chance to survive, and she could go with him. What else could she ask for?
Seeing that she agreed so readily, the male cultivator felt a little unhappy.
I don’t know whether the woman in front of me is good or bad. Why did Madam Liu trust her so easily, but was on guard against me at the beginning?
"As for you." Xie Liuyin's eyes quickly fell on the male cultivator again, "You have to come back with me too. After all, whether it's pulling out spiritual roots or extracting immortal bones, it's a great evil in the world of cultivation."
The male cultivator took a deep breath and wanted to say something to exonerate himself. But in the end, he just lowered his head and let Xie Liuyin attack him.
After all, he really couldn't find any excuse to exonerate himself.
After knocking the male cultivator unconscious again, Xie Liuyin threw him into the space artifact again. She turned to look at Liu Ruyun and finally told him her purpose.
When Liu Ruyun learned that she wanted to ask her for evidence of the group of people who hunted the young demon, a hint of realization flashed across her eyes.
"I was saying that there is no reason why an ordinary person like me would attract an immortal to go to such great lengths to help me." Liu Ruyun said, "So, this is what you wanted."
Speaking of which, Liu Ruyun also obtained these evidences by accident.
At that time, the Liu family was destroyed and Liu Ruyun was in a bad mood. In order to cheer her up, her maid bought a little rabbit demon from those people.
Liu Ruyun therefore learned that there was such a disgusting group of people in Cangzhen Castle. It happened that the Liu family had just fallen at that time, and she still had some useful people in her hands.
So they sent people to investigate the matter and accidentally obtained these evidences.
Just when she wanted to make the evidence public, the group of people disappeared overnight. Liu Ruyun was shocked and quickly hid the evidence.
Not long after, the people under her were transferred away by Wen Ke using various excuses, and no one knew about this matter since then.
Liu Ruyun hid the evidence, and more than ten years passed like this.
Fortunately, when she left the Wen family, Liu Ruyun also took the evidence with her. She didn't know what she was thinking. She didn't even take the clothes and ornaments she liked in the past, but quietly stuffed the evidence into Xiao Nian's arms and kept it.
Perhaps it was her action at that moment that gave her and Xiao Nian a glimmer of hope today.
Since she was leaving, Liu Ruyun quickly packed her luggage.
They didn't have much stuff left here, so they simply took the most important things and prepared to leave with Xie Liuyin.
Just as they were about to leave Cangzhen Castle, the Wen Mansion on the other side was in turmoil.
No one noticed when Xie Liuyin took Xiao Nian and the male cultivator away. Everyone thought that the male cultivator was still in the room stripping Xiao Nian's spiritual roots, until Wen Feng couldn't wait any longer and asked a few questions to the inner room.
But there was no sound coming from the inner room, and no one came out. Everyone then realized that something was wrong.
When Wen Ke ordered his men to break in, all they saw was an empty room.
Wen Ke's heart sank, he was not sure whether the monk had tricked them and secretly taken Xiao Nian away, or a third party had intervened and abducted them together.
He immediately ordered the people in the mansion to guard the entrance of Cangzhen Castle, and asked another group of people to go to Fuping Lane to see if Liu Ruyun was still there.
By the time Wen Ke's men went to Fuping Lane and came back with the news, Xie Liuyin and his group had already left Cangzhen Castle.
Upon learning that Liu Ruyun was missing and that no trace of her could be found in the entire Cangzhen Fort, Wen Ke guessed that the disappearance of Xiao Nian and the monk must have something to do with her.
He called back all the servants and forbade his son to mention anything about Xiao Nian and Liu Ruyun.
Wen Ke knew very well that anyone who had the ability to sneak into the Wen family and accomplish these things must also be a powerful cultivator.
They are just mortals, and if they confront the monks they will be seeking their own death.
Maybe, the Wen family just doesn’t have the fate to be an immortal!
Xie Liuyin had no idea how regretful Wen Ke felt. She simply took Liu Ruyun and her daughter to Qingxiao Sect as quickly as possible, and also handed over the male cultivator of unknown origin to the sect's custody.
When they first learned that Xie Liuyin brought back a mother and daughter, no one in the sect cared. But when they heard that the girl was carrying the bones of an immortal, several elders immediately dragged the sect leader to the door.
At this time, Xiao Nian, under Xianyue's diagnosis, swallowed a few elixirs to slightly alleviate his symptoms.
As soon as the sect master and his men arrived, Xianyue took the initiative to inform them of the situation: "This child is quite interesting. Her immortal bones are mature and she is still absorbing spiritual energy."
