Chapter 552: Being a Junior Sister
After being examined by other guardians, Tao Zi went to Liu Shiqing's house.
The house is not big, with just a small living room.
Liu Shiqing apologized, "The house is not big, and I hope I can forgive you for not hosting you well."
Tao Zi waved her hand and said, "What's the problem? This is already very good."
She paused and continued, "My name is Tao Zi now, so please don't call me Aunt Yue."
Liu Shiqing was silent for a moment before he said, "Since I was little, my mother has always told me to call you Aunt Yue."
Only then did Tao Zi fall silent.
Li Xiu saw that the atmosphere was gradually developing into a sad mood, and quickly said, "Shi Qing, why did you become a monk?"
Liu Shiqing struggled out of his nostalgia and said, "After my mother passed away, I remembered what the monk said, so I begged my brother to leave the Huang Mansion and go to the temple to practice."
Li Xiu asked curiously, "And then you became a monk?"
Liu Shiqing shook his head and said, "My brother didn't allow it, but I was determined to become a monk, so he had no choice but to hand me over to a reliable Taoist priest. I was stubborn at the time, so the master had no choice but to shave my head, but in fact, I am a Taoist priest. Since then, I have traveled with the master."
"Hey, what about your master?"
As soon as Li Xiu said this, Tao Zi stepped on her foot.
His face wrinkled, and before he could react, he heard Liu Shiqing's voice: "Master has passed away."
Tao Zi didn't know what to say. This kind of grief could never be soothed by words. In the end, she could only say dryly, "My condolences."
Seeing Li Xiu's somewhat bewildered expression, Liu Shiqing smiled and said, "It's okay, I've already taken revenge."
It was wrong to congratulate, and it was wrong to mourn, so Li Xiu could only say dryly, "That's good."
At this time, a few children in their teens walked in from outside. When they saw Liu Shiqing, they shouted, "Sister Liu."
When Liu Shiqing saw them, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Sister Liu, can we go out with Uncle Xu and the others to take a look?"
The smile on Liu Shiqing's face immediately disappeared: "No, it will take another three years, until you are stronger."
The children could only leave dejectedly.
Li Xiu asked curiously, "Who are these children?"
Liu Shiqing said calmly, "Back then, my master and I went to a small village that was being targeted by aliens. He died while trying to kill the aliens. Before he died, he asked me and the surviving villagers to seek help from a nearby immortal cultivation sect. We asked them to erase any traces of the aliens from the villagers, otherwise they would be easily targeted by the aliens. These children are the babies who survived that year in that village."
Tao Zi felt something was wrong. When talking about that immortal cultivation sect, Liu Shiqing's expression was not right.
Before she could think further, Liu Shiqing continued, "The villagers had more experience than me. They wouldn't let me contact the sect, so they sent someone themselves. Later, the person who went was killed by the gatekeeper. I lurked near that sect for three years and finally killed the gatekeeper. Later, I came to the desolate land to kill the aliens. Because those children had traces on their bodies, there was no one to entrust them to, so they had to follow me. When I first came to the desolate land, there were many children and young people, but I was useless."
Cheng Wuchou pushed a cup of tea over, and Tao Zi comforted him, "It's amazing that you can come all the way here."
Liu Shiqing smiled weakly and didn't continue. He simply changed the subject: "When I first came here, there were only a few hundred households. In just ten years, it has grown to its current size. Outside, things are getting more and more chaotic. There are more and more people who can't make a living or want to seek revenge on the alien race."
Cheng Wuchou finally added, "Rather, the aliens' actions are becoming more frequent."
When Tao Zi heard this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look over.
Cheng Wuchou whispered: "A lot of changes have happened outside in the past four years."
"for example?"
Cheng Wuchou hesitated for a moment, and Liu Shiqing spoke directly, "More than 80% of the Sword Sect's cultivators moved out of Jiancheng and went to a more remote area. It is rumored that there are at least three passages connecting to the Strange Mountain. The Sword Sect went there to investigate and block the passages for alien races to enter the mainland. The One Thought Sect opened a branch at the former location of the Xujia Sect, reportedly because they discovered a passage there. The Spring and Autumn Sect and the Nine Turns Sect have joined forces and stationed people near another passage."
Tao Zi's pupils constricted for a moment before returning to normal. Her face was strained, unable to conceal its tension. "Why did so many passages suddenly appear? Can't we just destroy them?"
Cheng Wuchou whispered, "These passages have always existed, but we only discovered them recently because the aliens have been active so frequently. We've destroyed all that can be destroyed. The remaining ones are the ones whose specific locations are uncertain and the intermediaries that open the passages, so they cannot be destroyed."
Hearing these words, Tao Zi recalled what happened when she was escaping death, and suddenly realized something.
She took a deep breath and asked, "What about the Tiandao Sect? What about the demon world? What about the devil world? This isn't just a matter of one sect and three gates!"
Liu Shiqing said, "They are all fighting among themselves, so we can only free up some manpower to deal with these matters."
Tao Zi couldn't suppress her rage and cursed, "Internal strife? Why are you having an internal strife at this time? Has your cultivation ruined your brain?"
"Cough cough cough..." Li Xiu started coughing madly.
Liu Shiqing and Tao Zi cast doubtful glances at him, and he stammered, not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, Cheng Wuchou also coughed to attract their attention before speaking, "The internal strife in the Tiandao Sect is said to be related to the deceased Young Sect Master. The reason for the emergence of a new Demon Clan leader in the Monster Realm is that he is from the Dragon Clan and has a strained relationship with the previous leader of the Monster Clan. He is currently at the seventh level, approaching the eighth level, and is at the Great Perfection of the Out-of-Body Stage. However, with his bloodline and body, he can fight against humans at the Great Perfection Stage. The Demon Realm has a new candidate for the Demon Palace Master. His surname is Han, and he is currently at the Great Perfection of the Out-of-Body Stage, just one step away from the Great Perfection Stage. He is also quite young."
Tao Zi:......
Cheng Wuchou called out, "A Zi?"
Continue to be silent.
Liu Shiqing looked at this scene and asked in confusion, "Aunt Yue, what's going on?"
Tao Zi finally emerged from her silence and said, "It's okay, but was it really four years, not forty or four hundred?"
"ah?"
Liu Shiqing didn't understand what he meant.
The two who understood could only nod, indicating that it was indeed four years.
Tao Zi fell into silence again.
Li Xiu whispered, "From now on, you can be my junior sister."
Tao Zi raised her foot and kicked, then remained silent.
Liu Shiqing vaguely understood something and was a little shocked, but after thinking about it, it seemed normal for anything as outrageous as this to happen to his aunt Yue, so he continued to sit there as if nothing had happened.
