The young master was only cold to servants like them, but was very nice to Miss Sheng. Maybe she was just overthinking it.
Not to mention that the young master is deeply affectionate and loyal, even if he is a heartless person, he would not attack his own sister who is related by blood.
This kind of hypocritical flattery continued until after lunch, when Xiang Hongyu let Xiang Sheng go back to the East Courtyard. He then hurried to the meditation room in the backyard and closed the door tightly.
Xiang Sheng returned to the East Courtyard and sat down in front of the dressing table. He rubbed his face, which was stiff from smiling, in front of the mirror, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Blood-refined demon!
Xiang Hongyu really planned to use her as a cauldron to pave the way for his own cultivation. Originally, she was only 60% sure of her guess, but Lu Yushan's voice transmission undoubtedly confirmed this.
Lu Yushan had long known that she was Xiang Hongyu's cauldron. If he hadn't doubted her identity, he probably wouldn't have even reminded her.
The fact that Fangcunji has a place like a fighting arena shows that Tianyan Sect and Chiyan Sect are just ordinary people. If you go there, you may escape from a pack of wolves but fall into the tiger's mouth again.
Moreover, if she admitted her identity and joined the Tianyan Sect, many things would be revealed. Shu Gaoming would soon become suspicious of her, and her identity as the "Lu family witch" would most likely be exposed.
The method of shape-shifting, the non-existent Lu family secret treasure, and the most important secret method of "Death" to improve spiritual roots will all attract the covetousness of all parties.
Only then will she be in real danger.
Even if we take a step back and assume that Lu Yushan doesn't like what she has and is determined to protect her out of guilt, there's no guarantee that he'll be able to do so in the end.
In comparison, if she doesn't reveal her identity, she only needs to deal with Xiang Hongyu, which is much easier no matter how you look at it.
"Blood Refining Demon..."
Xiang Sheng muttered to himself, trying hard to recall what he saw and heard in the dream, but he had no relevant memories.
She took a deep breath, her eyes solemn and calm.
This time, I can only rely on myself.
No words were spoken that night.
At noon the next day, Qin Ji sent Xiang Sheng to the quiet practice room in the backyard, and then left.
Xiang Sheng glanced at the interior furnishings, which were almost the same as Gao Heng's, all arranged in a unified manner within the sect.
Just after he finished looking around, the stone door of the secret room opened with a muffled sound, and Xiang Hongyu walked out, looking a little tired.
"Brother, you haven't slept all night?"
While asking this question, Xiang Sheng glanced at the secret room behind him and saw only brown residue on the ground.
"Last night, I refined a furnace of elixirs specifically for you."
Xiang Hongyu handed the pill bottle to Xiang Sheng, "This is the soul-protecting pill. If you want to practice vigorously and diligently in your mortal body, your meridians will be easily damaged. Taking this elixir will keep you safe."
"Thank you, brother."
Xiang Sheng took it with joy, uncorked the bottle and sniffed it, only to discover that it contained the Soul Protecting Pill.
She also had the Soul Protection Pill, which she got from Xue Yunzi, so she could tell whether it was real or fake just by smelling it.
“This is the mind method.”
Xiang Hongyu handed over another booklet and carefully instructed, "This method was not taught by the sect, but was my own opportunity. You don't need to worry about the sect's control. However, practicing it is dangerous, so you must understand it on your own. If there is anything you don't understand, be sure to ask me."
Xiang Sheng nodded solemnly, took the booklet and sat down beside it. He only opened the first page to read the general outline, and immediately understood.
At first glance, this method is indeed an orthodox method. If it were with the original owner's eyesight, he would definitely not be able to see the strangeness in it.
But at this moment, although Xiang Sheng could see that this method of thinking was unusual, she could not use it to deduce how Xiang Hongyu intended to harm her.
Lu Yushan said that she would not live more than a year, but if she practiced according to this method, at most she would cultivate a body of scattered true energy with an unstable foundation, but her life would not be in danger.
As her mind raced, she asked Xiang Sheng a few questions about her mental method, and Xiang Hongyu answered them immediately. She showed an expression as if she understood but not quite, pretending to be struggling to digest and understand.
Xiang Hongyu frowned secretly, but he could only teach patiently over and over again.
A whole day passed like this, and I had only barely finished half of a book of less than 200 words.
Xiang Hongyu emphasized one point and repeated it three times. Seeing that Xiang Sheng looked drowsy, although he was anxious, he had to give up for the time being and let Xiang Sheng go back to rest.
After Xiang Sheng left, Xiang Hongyu brought out a newly copied booklet and circled all the questions Xiang Sheng had asked during the day, with a very unhappy look on his face.
"Master, Xiang Sheng is so stupid that she can't even understand such a simple mental method. Can she really be a furnace?"
"What are you in such a hurry for?"
The old man in the sea of consciousness laughed: "It's normal for mortals to be slow in cultivation. You should be thankful that she listens to you and tries her best to cultivate no matter how difficult it is. If you meet someone who is completely disobedient, it would be a real headache."
"Then the second step of blood refining will have to wait until a long time, right?"
Xiang Hongyu's face was heavy: "Master, you also know that the Dongzhou Cultivation Competition is coming soon, can't you think of another way?"
