Zi Qingyue and the Taoist priests of the Celestial Master's Mansion all went on high alert.
They dared not be careless in the face of a ruthless Grandmaster like Chen Xiu.
Otherwise, we will follow in the footsteps of Shi Jian and his ilk!
"Ah...this!"
Chen Xiu hadn't expected that his annihilation of Shi Jian and the others would only earn him the wariness of his senior sisters, leaving him speechless for a moment: "W-would you believe me if I said I was Zhang Jiuying's disciple?"
Just now, Chen Xiu deliberately used the "Palm Thunder" palm technique to kill Shi Bin and the others, intending to impersonate Zhang Jiuying's disciple.
He planned to get to know his senior sister well and then use her status as Zhang Jiuying's disciple to plot something.
"snort!"
Zi Qingyue snorted coldly, the lightning whip in her hand crackling loudly, clearly not believing Chen Xiu's nonsense, "Tell me the truth, I don't have much patience!"
Her attitude was cold, as if she would take action immediately if Chen Xiu didn't tell the truth.
"I really am Zhang Jiuying's disciple..."
Knowing his senior sister's fiery temper, Chen Xiu stood still, looking like he was about to be captured, and said, "Ten years ago, Zhang Jiuying went down the mountain to travel, but was ambushed by a ghost cultivator and seriously injured... I saved him!"
"To thank me, Zhang Jiuying made an exception and accepted me as his disciple, so that he could tell me a lot about the Celestial Master's Mansion!"
"However, I had already taken a martial arts master as my master at that time, and Zhang Jiuying said it would be inconvenient for me to take another master from Longhu Mountain, so I didn't announce the matter of taking on disciples..."
"I came to the Celestial Master's Mansion today to see Master Zhang Jiuying, but who knew he had already passed away, sob sob sob!"
As he spoke, Chen Xiu suddenly burst into tears.
As a powerful being at the Immortal Emperor realm, he could control his body at will. Not to mention tear glands, he could even change a single hair according to his own will.
Therefore, Chen Xiu only needed to gently control his tear ducts to burst into tears.
"Although I didn't spend much time with Master Zhang Jiuying, he treated me like a child, was very kind to me, and taught me many Taoist arts!"
While crying, Chen Xiu recited dozens of lines of the internal energy cultivation method mainly practiced by the Celestial Master's Mansion.
Upon hearing this, the wariness and suspicion in Zi Qingyue's and the other Taoist priests' eyes gradually dissipated.
You should know that the internal energy cultivation methods of the Celestial Master's Mansion are strictly kept secret and are not allowed to be taught to me!
Even within the Celestial Master's Mansion, only Taoists of the rank of Yellow Robe or higher are qualified to study.
Zhang Jiuying was able to pass on his internal energy cultivation method to Chen Xiu, which shows that he truly regarded Chen Xiu as his disciple!
They had no doubts about Chen Xiu saving Zhang Jiuying, because Zhang Jiuying often traveled and frequently dealt with evil and ghostly cultivators.
"Are you really my junior brother?"
Although Zi Qingyue did not put away the lightning whip in her hand, her tone became much gentler.
Of course!
Chen Xiu said impatiently, "Of course I'm your junior brother! Senior sister, Master once told me that I have a senior sister with a lightning-type body, who has been incredibly beautiful since childhood. He said that when I come to Longhu Mountain in the future, I should ask her to be my wife..."
"My master also told me that my eldest sister's birth date and time are a perfect match for mine!"
Upon hearing this, the lightning whip in Zi Qingyue's hand crackled once more.
Chen Xiu quickly spoke up and gave Zi Qingyue's birth date and time, then continued, "Master also said that Senior Sister was found under an old willow tree that had been destroyed by lightning. At that time, Senior Sister was wrapped in a yellow Taoist robe, and inside the robe was written her background in blood!"
After listening to Chen Xiu recount these events, Zi Qingyue no longer doubted him.
Only Zhang Jiuying and a few centenarian Taoist priests in the Celestial Master's Mansion knew about Zi Qingyue's background.
As for the other Taoists, they only knew that Zi Qingyue was picked up by Zhang Jiuying, but they didn't know the details.
"It seems that your master really cares about you, and has told you all these things."
The lightning on Zi Qingyue's body dissipated, and she slowly descended from the void to the ground, softly asking, "Junior brother, what's your name?"
"My name is Chen Xiu, you can just call me Ashu, Senior Sister."
Chen Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the eldest sister's background, it was something she told me personally in my previous life.
As for Zhang Jiuying being ambushed by evil cultivators ten years ago, that was just something Chen Xiu made up on the spot.
He had only heard his senior sister say that Zhang Jiuying often went down the mountain to travel and kill some ghost cultivators and evil cultivators, helping the weak and upholding the righteous path!
"Chen Xiu?"
Zi Qingyue repeated the two words.
Her master had never mentioned to her that he had a junior brother named Chen Xiu.
However, seeing the look in Chen Xiu's eyes, which was indeed one of relief and happiness as if he had found a family member, and completely devoid of any evil intentions, she realized that he was looking at her with a gaze that was genuinely filled with joy and happiness.
So Zi Qingyue stopped thinking about it and directly instructed the young Taoist priest to prepare a room for Chen Xiu to rest in.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
Chen Xiu knew he had gained his senior sister's trust, so he said nothing more.
After following the young Taoist priest to a simple and clean room, he took off his shoes and sat on the bed to meditate cross-legged.
...
Inside the Celestial Master's Mansion.
After Chen Xiu left with the young Taoist priest, Zi Qingyue and some of the old Taoist priests from the Celestial Master's Mansion did not disperse.
A thin, yellow-robed Taoist priest with a goatee, who appeared to be around seventy years old, spoke up: "Sect Leader, how much of what this young man Chen Xiu says is true and how much is false?"
"Half true, half false!"
Zi Qingyue said without hesitation.
However, her face showed no emotion, and she was not angry even though she knew that Chen Xiu had told some lies.
"So, what does the sect leader mean?"
The Taoist priests couldn't help but ask.
"You don't visit a temple without a reason!"
Zi Qingyue replied.
"You mean, he has designs on our Celestial Master's Mansion?"
The Taoist priests immediately tensed up.
"He certainly has ulterior motives, but what we can confirm now is that he has no hostility towards our Celestial Master's Mansion!"
Zi Qingyue remained calm and said slowly, "Let him stay first. I believe he will show his true colors within a few days!"
Although she had only just met Chen Xiu.
However, based on Chen Xiu's decisive attitude towards Shi Jian, Zi Qingyue had already concluded that Chen Xiu was a decisive and swift person!
A young man with such a personality also possesses the realm of a Grandmaster.
If he wanted to do something, he wouldn't waste too much time...
"Then what do we do?"
Another tall, slender Taoist priest in a yellow robe with a single eyebrow said, "Are we just going to wait for him to show his true colors without thinking of any countermeasures?!"
Upon hearing this, all the Taoist priests turned their gazes toward Zi Qingyue once again.
We await a reasonable answer from Zi Qingyue!
