"Who's there!" the security guard exclaimed.
Just as she was about to go out to see, Gu Xicheng pulled her back:
"Stay here and don't move!"
They were dealing with an evil cultivator who could rip out people's hearts and livers, and this security guard's fighting ability was clearly insufficient.
"Qingqing, I'm going out to check. Be careful!" Gu Xicheng said.
Lu Qing nodded slightly.
After Gu Xicheng left, she realized something was wrong and quickly copied the surveillance video to her phone.
After she finished doing these things, she suddenly realized that she was surrounded by an eerie silence.
A bad feeling welled up in Lu Qing's heart, and he couldn't help but tense up and become alert.
"Go inside and hide!"
Lu Qing called out to the security guard, but after calling out several times, he found the guard standing there motionless.
Lu Qing turned his head and found that the security guard looked terrified, his face was covered in sweat, and his whole body was tense like a centuries-old zombie.
Only then did she notice the sinister aura emanating from behind the security guard.
Lu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Come out, we can talk."
A few seconds after he finished speaking, a man in a black cloak walked out from behind the security guard.
He was thin and frail, like an old tree that had been dried up for many years, and the wide cloak he wore swayed and hung loosely on his body.
But this did not diminish the sense of oppression he exerted on Lu Qing.
This is a very powerful evil cultivator; at least among all the evil cultivators Lu Qing has encountered, he is the most powerful.
“Jian Yunxing?” Lu Qing tried to call out his name.
He slowly curled the corners of his lips into a smile and looked up at them:
"Little girl, you know my name. Looks like you've found quite a bit out of the book!"
He had his head down, so Lu Qing couldn't see his face clearly.
Now that she had looked up, she subconsciously began to examine the man's face.
Jian Yunxing didn't try to hide it, or perhaps he felt it was unnecessary.
Looking at his face, Lu Qing was surprised to find that although he exuded a fierce aura between his brows and had taken countless lives, his original appearance was actually very kind.
As the saying goes, one's appearance reflects one's heart. Even though he is now a wicked cultivator with blood on his hands, Lu Qing does not find him frightening.
The appearance of these two contradictory feelings on his face puzzled Lu Qing.
But what puzzled her even more right now was Jian Yunxing's purpose in coming here.
Was it because of this surveillance footage?
That doesn't seem to be the case! Otherwise, he could have just destroyed the computer!
So what exactly is his purpose?
Lu Qing thought about it carefully, and after a moment she came to an answer that was even more unbelievable to her.
"You deliberately lured Gu Xicheng away. You came here to find me?" Lu Qing asked in surprise.
Jian Yunxing nodded with a smile:
"A very smart little girl."
"So you really came to find me? Why?" Lu Qing asked.
Jian Yunxing: "Someone wants to see you."
Lu Qing: "Who?"
Jian Yunxing: "You'll know when you meet him."
Lu Qing scoffed, "You didn't even tell me who he is, why should I go with you?"
Jian Yunxing frowned slightly, seemingly not expecting Lu Qing to say that.
"Little girl, your curiosity is far too weak."
Lu Qing: "Curiosity killed the cat. If you don't tell me who you are, how am I supposed to know if you're going to hurt me?"
Jian Yunxing sighed softly and said:
"All right!"
Do you remember the underwater tomb?
Lu Qing's pupils contracted: "You know about the underwater tomb!"
Jian Yunxing: "I not only know about the underwater tomb, but I also know that a deity is enshrined in the tomb, who is Gu Xicheng's previous incarnation."
Lu Qing frowned and stared at him for a long while, remaining silent without saying a word.
Seeing that Lu Qing remained silent, Jian Yunxing continued:
"You and Gu Xicheng went to the underwater tomb, so you should have seen those eight coffins, right?"
“Those were elders buried with the Chuling Ancient Kingdom, but one of them was in an empty coffin…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Qing exclaimed:
"Are you the elder who ran away?"
Jian Yunxing chuckled lightly: "It's not me, but the person you're going to meet later."
Lu Qing narrowed her cold eyes and suddenly asked:
"Is he the one who turned you into a heretic?"
Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed across Jian Yunxing's eyes.
There was hatred, but more than that, there was helplessness and sadness.
"I will tell you about this after you see him."
"What about Feng Shu? How is she now?" Lu Qing asked hurriedly.
Jian Yunxing: "She is my daughter. I will not kill her. I just took her away to see her more. After all, for more than 20 years, I had no idea that she existed and I did not fulfill my responsibilities as a father."
A sarcastic smile flashed across Lu Qing's face.
That's a bit disgusting to hear!
"If you hadn't been so sexist, would your wife have been able to switch your own daughter with yours and send her to an orphanage?"
A hint of shame flashed across Jian Yunxing's face:
"It is indeed my fault. I have let down that mother and daughter!"
Jian Yunxing's obsession with sons stemmed from his parents, who at the time desperately wanted to have a son to inherit his talent for cultivation.
However, his family was not actually wealthy. He was afraid that having a daughter before having a son would be unfair to his son, so he preferred to have the gender checked and abort the daughter if it was a girl.
His master, the old head of the Donghua Sect, had advised him at that time.
Aborted babies are all karmic debts; the more abortions, the more karmic debts there are. He shouldn't be too fixated on boys.
Jian Yunxing didn't listen, which led to his wife hitting three girls.
I didn't have a single child when I was in my thirties.
Jian Yunxing's wife was worried that she was getting old and might not be able to get pregnant again after another abortion, and she was also afraid of divorce, so she came up with that trick of switching the baby with the baby.
So many years have passed, and Jian Yunxing has long regretted it, but there is no medicine for regret in this world.
A year ago, when Jian Zeming had a physical examination, Jian Yunxing secretly followed him.
I just wanted to sneak a peek at the child, but I didn't expect to find that his blood type was wrong.
Jian Yunxing has type A blood, his wife has type O blood, but Jian Zeming has type B blood.
Jian Yunxing looked closely at Jian Zeming and found that he was nothing like him. Northeastern men are usually rough and unrefined, but Jian Zeming had a fair and delicate appearance.
So he secretly took Jian Zeming's DNA and compared it with his own, and sure enough, they were not biological father and son.
But his wife was already dead, and he couldn't get the truth out of her, so he had to investigate on his own.
Finally, after several months, he found out that Feng Shu was very likely his daughter.
Only then did the incident of Feng Shu being kidnapped and having her blood extracted occur.
After confirming that Feng Shu was his biological daughter, whether it was due to his age or regret, Jian Yunxing's preference for sons over daughters disappeared.
He grew to like Feng Shu more and more, and often followed her to observe her life.
I heard that if she wants something, they will do everything they can to get it for her.
Lu Qing glanced at Jian Yunxing's ashamed expression and secretly despised him.
The most useless emotion in the world is regret.
Why didn't you do this sooner!
"Alright! You can let me see that elder if you want, but I have to go with Gu Xicheng!"
Lu Qing was met with opposition as soon as he finished speaking.
"No! Gu Xicheng can't go with you, otherwise why would I have lured him away!"
