Xie Beiming looked at Taiqing Immortal Venerable suspiciously.
He seriously suspected that the other party had made a mistake.
Unexpectedly, Immortal Taiqing, like Jiang Xiyan, paced back and forth in the room angrily. Then he ran behind the door and cursed in the direction of Baozhuan Peak: "Wu Qiongcang, you old bastard, you don't want to live, you think life is meaningless and hopeless, then go and die yourself, why are you torturing others... Look at how you starved your child!"
No wonder his little disciple would hide in the alchemy room and use the magic furnace to roast sweet potatoes. This old guy named Qiong is too much!
Taiqing Immortal Venerable was filled with grief, anger and heartache. He pinched his waist, stretched his neck, jumped his feet, and kept "greeting" the sky over and over again.
Jiang Xiyan, who was as angry as him, was stunned. He even forgot his anger and stared in shock at Taiqing Immortal Venerable who was jumping up and down and cursing with wide eyes.
This person is an Immortal Lord!
Aren't immortals supposed to soar high in the blue sky, independent of heaven and earth, like a gentle breeze scattering orchid snow?!
How can you be so violent and swear like a country bitch? ! !
Following the incident of "the world's number one sect, Wuji Sect, starving its disciples to death", the young sect leader Jiang Xiyan's world view was shattered again.
The doubts in Xie Beiming's mind grew even more, and his brows were furrowed.
Although Wu Qiongcang's temperament is a bit unruly and his mood can be changeable occasionally, he is not so bad as to torture his disciples. Moreover, the other party is in seclusion, so there is no chance to torture him even if he wants to.
The most important thing is that he stayed in Baozhuan Peak almost every day during this period, and ate every meal with Shen Qiqi.
Xie Beiming knew very well how many meals Shen Qiqi ate every day and how much she ate at each meal.
But precisely because he knew it clearly in his heart, Xie Beiming became even more puzzled at this moment.
How could someone who has never skipped three meals a day faint from hunger after not eating for two days and one night... Is it because refining the elixir consumes a lot of physical energy?
Or... is there some unknown secret about Qiqi?
Xie Beiming frowned slightly, and while he was thinking, he suddenly heard Taiqing Immortal Venerable say: "...It's okay to let the child go hungry for a meal or two, but you actually didn't give the child a single bite to eat for a month... Wu Qiongcang, you have such a cruel heart!"
Xie Beiming's thoughts were interrupted, his eyes jumped, and he looked at Shen Qiqi lying on the bed in shock——
Qiqi hasn't eaten a single bite of food for a month. Has her body been hungry for so long?
But two days ago, he had a hearty lunch with Qiqi. Logically, he shouldn't have been hungry for so long, unless... Something flashed through Xie Beiming's mind. He was about to take a closer look when the voice of Taiqing Immortal Venerable came into his ears again.
"Wu Qiongcang, just wait! I'm going to report you to the Sect Master right now. I'm going to accuse you of mistreating your disciples! And of those disciples with Fire Spiritual Roots, which are rare to appear once in a century!"
Taiqing Immortal Venerable is a man of swift and decisive character. He always keeps his word and is really going to report Wu Qiongcang's misdeeds to the sect leader.
Xie Beiming's heart suddenly jumped. Without bothering to think carefully about the thought that flashed through his mind, he hurriedly stopped Taiqing Immortal Venerable.
"Taiqing Immortal Venerable has misunderstood. Qiqi fainting from hunger has nothing to do with Qiongcang Immortal Venerable!"
Although he didn't know why Shen Qiqi was "hungry for a long time", Xie Beiming was sure of one thing: Qiqi had a secret, and this secret was the reason why she fainted from hunger.
So this matter cannot be made known to more people, he has to help Qiqi suppress it!
Thinking of this, Xie Beiming hurriedly added, "Qiqi said she was too fat and wanted to control her weight, so she has been on a diet during this period. It's not that Qiong Cang Immortal Venerable doesn't allow her to eat."
Qiqi did say something about controlling weight.
But no matter what she said, every time she sat down at the dinner table, Qiqi forgot about her plan to lose weight and ate every bite of her meal.
In Shen Qiqi's words: Forget about this meal, starting from the next meal, I will definitely eat less;
Or: I need to eat enough to have the energy to lose weight. I should eat first and then lose weight, otherwise what should I do if I faint from hunger?
As a result, she is now really hungry and fainted.
But it’s definitely not because of weight loss.
However, Taiqing Immortal and Jiang Xiyan did not know this.
When Taiqing Immortal Venerable heard that Shen Qiqi disliked her weight and starved herself to death because of dieting, she was speechless for a moment.
He looked at the little disciple on the bed, whose face was only the size of a palm, and thought to himself, isn't this figure quite nice and well-proportioned? How can she be fat? I really don't know what girls nowadays are thinking.
As for Jiang Xiyan, he didn't think his little fairy was fat, let alone that his little fairy was actively dieting to lose weight. He put all the blame on Xie Beiming's shoulders, staring at him angrily and said, "It must be you who laughed at Qiqi first, and then Qiqi refused to eat... Xie Beiming, isn't it enough for your Xie family to take care of your own family? Why do you ask others to abide by your family's broken rules!"
Jiang Xiyan's accusation against Xie Beiming was not without basis.
Among the five great families, the Xie family of Lin'an has the most and strictest family rules. This is not allowed, that is forbidden. It is said that there are more than ten rules regarding eating alone. One of them is that people can only eat until they are 70% full, because a full stomach can easily make people lazy.
In short, the family rules of the Xie family in Lin'an are several volumes more than the Buddhist scriptures in the temple.
This is also the reason why Jiang Xiyan blamed Xie Beiming.
Xie Beiming did not refute and silently accepted the accusation. Seeing this, Taiqing Immortal Venerable could not help but scold him a few words.
Shen Qiqi, who fainted from hunger, had no idea that someone was suffering from an unjust injustice in order to help her keep the secret.
