Chapter 45: Su Wen's Past
During his return to Cuimu Peak, Su Qingwu carefully considered what Elder Yan Xing of Bailing Island had said.
Is it appropriate to hand over the Lingxiao Resurrection Technique to the sect?
Unable to make up her mind, she simply discussed it with Su Wen.
"Do you think it is inappropriate to hand over a technique that you have already traded with a fellow disciple to the sect?"
"That's fine, right? Even if we hand it over to the sect, other disciples can't get it for free. They have to redeem it with contribution points."
"What if the redemption contribution points given by the sect are far less than 5,000?"
"The Xuan-level magic can't be that low, and even if it is much lower, so what? When you traded with that person, the other party didn't ask that you can't hand over the magic to the sect or tell others."
"That's true."
"Another point is that judging from the character that the second generation of Xiu has shown, it doesn't seem like he would care about such details at all."
Su Qingwu nodded slowly, thinking of his performance today, and then raised another question.
"Su Wen, do you think that I sometimes think too much and worry about things that are beyond my control?"
"Why do you think so? It's very rare to be able to think things through before doing anything. Otherwise, if you act rashly, it's easy to get into trouble. This is your strength, not your weakness!"
Having said this, Su Wen hesitated for a moment and continued:
"Qingwu, let me tell you a story, if you are willing to listen..."
"Of course I do!"
"A long time ago, there was a little girl who was born into a wealthy family in a county town. She lived a life of luxury. One day, a distinguished guest came to the family and was received by the girl's grandfather.
The man left after a short while. That night, all the people in the family were gathered together, and the girl's grandfather warned them not to have any contact with the Mu family in the west of the city in the future.
The girl took note of it at the time, but a few days later, she sneaked out of the house for fun and met the young master of the Mu family on the street.
The man was of a very bad temper. Without giving any explanation, he snatched away the jade pendant that the girl was carrying.
Because she ran away secretly, the girl was afraid of being punished by her family, so she hid the matter of the jade pendant. At that time, she did not consider that her name was engraved on the jade pendant, which was her token of love.
Not long after, the Mu family was executed for deceiving the emperor. The officials found a jade pendant engraved with the girl's name, and concluded that her family was connected to the Mu family.
Just like that, the girl's entire family was killed.
Before the officers arrived, the girl's brother realized something was wrong and took her away first, but they were caught up by the officers on the way.
The two fled to the edge of the cliff. The elder brother had been hit by two arrows and was dying. Just as the third arrow was aimed at the girl, the elder brother jumped up and blocked the last arrow.
The huge force caused the two of them to fall off the cliff together... Fortunately, the girl survived and began her wandering life from then on until she joined the Danxia Sect..."
Hearing this, Su Qingwu spoke hesitantly:
"Could the little girl in this story be..."
Su Wen took over the conversation and said calmly:
"It was me, the one who harmed the whole family because of my own selfishness. It was me... If I had thought about it more at that time and remembered what my grandfather had told me, and told him about the theft of the jade pendant in time, the tragedy that followed would not have happened..."
"In the final analysis, the fault lies with that man from the Mu family. If he hadn't stolen your jade pendant, there wouldn't have been any follow-up incidents."
"But if I hadn't sneaked out, how would I have met him? I brought disaster to our family. To be honest, the reason why Ning Feng was able to plot successfully was because he knew about this and used my weakness to draw out my inner demons...
I brought this up to tell you to think twice before you act. Your current habit is actually a good one. If you think too much, I will remind you in time. "
Su Qingwu nodded slowly, and the self-doubt in his heart completely dissipated at this moment, and his mood also improved a little.
In a way, this is also a kind of growth.
......
After returning to the Cuimu Peak courtyard, Su Qingwu checked the spiritual plants in the courtyard and found no problems.
From the moment I stepped into the courtyard, the voice of the spiritual plant kept reaching my ears.
"I'm back, I'm back~ It seems my previous worries were unnecessary~"
"I'm so happy~ The two-legged beasts didn't abandon us~"
"Hey, have you noticed a problem..."
"What?"
"It seems that every time the name is mentioned, the bipeds are not very happy..."
"Ah? You mean she can hear our thoughts?"
"Uh... maybe? Could it be like this?"
"Even if we can really hear it, what's wrong with calling it that? If not a two-legged beast, what else can we call it? We can't understand other tribes' languages either..."
“Hey~”
"Do you want to change the name?"
"How can we change this? In our inherited memory, this is the only name we have. What if we change it incorrectly and she gets even angrier and stops giving us rain? What should we do?"
"If she could really hear our inner thoughts, she probably wouldn't be angry. At most, she's just not used to it. After all, we don't have any bad intentions."
"Well, I'll continue to use this name, but try to mention it as little as possible~"
......
While Su Qingwu was performing the art of bringing peace of mind, he was listening to these voices coming to his ears. His thoughts wandered, and he thought of some possible problems. He continued to communicate with Su Wen through telepathy.
"Do you think it's possible for the spiritual plants in the world of immortal cultivation to transform into human form?"
"In the Moonlight Realm, I can be sure that this is not possible."
"I see. I was thinking, if spiritual plants can transform, then after they transform, their appearance will become human-like, and their words and actions should also gradually change? Otherwise, as soon as they open their mouths to speak, others will be able to guess their identity."
"Maybe, Qingwu, what you imagine is too far away from us. Only if one day we can go to the upper realm, we will have the opportunity to slowly understand it."
......
The Spring Breeze Rain Technique consumes a lot of spiritual energy, so Su Qingwu quickly stopped and switched to the Small Spiritual Rain Technique.
Above the spiritual field, the clouds gradually dissipated and turned into a thin mist.
The fine spiritual rain fell slowly, lasting for nearly half a cup of tea, completing the watering task.
In the four water vats in the courtyard, the red blood lotus and green leaf lotus have not yet sprouted, and the same is true for the black rice seeds planted around the courtyard wall.
This is normal, after all, the seeds have only been sown recently.
However, with the help of the art of bringing about change, Su Qingwu estimated that there would be some movement in two days.
After leaving the courtyard, she hurried all the way to Lingyue Peak.
Now that she has enough contribution points, she wants to exchange for the magical weapon, the Yunxuan Umbrella, as soon as possible.
If time dragged on for too long, Su Qingwu was worried that he would be replaced by other classmates.
......
Things in this world often don't go as we wish.
Sometimes, the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.
When she reached the second floor of the Lingyue Peak's Treasure Hall, she walked toward the area of treasures without attributes and found that the Yunxuan Umbrella was being held in someone's hand...
