Meng Xu wanted to believe, but couldn't believe, the speed of immortal cultivation.
If this is acceptable, then what about those immortal cultivators who have spent their entire lives cultivating without ever forming their core?
Am I an idiot?
Meng Xiaoru was not surprised by her father's reaction at all and said, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. What I have seen is absolutely true. Father, you have far less experience than I do now."
"Hehe, hehe." Meng Xu felt a little helpless at being underestimated by his daughter.
He wasn't angry, but deliberately sighed in front of his daughter, "Your brother Ye killed a high-ranking envoy of the Eternal Sect in our family. Now our family is completely entangled in this matter. What are we going to do? If the Eternal Sect comes to retaliate, our Meng family will be no match for them!"
Meng Xiaoru was straightforward and didn't think much about her father's intentions. Naively, she was indeed fooled: "Dad, what are you afraid of? With Brother Ye here, our Meng family will definitely be safe."
"Is your Brother Ye any good?" Meng Xu asked with a smile, seeing that his daughter had indeed fallen for the trick.
He knew perfectly well that the Meng family was no match for the Eternal Sect. Now that there was no way out for them, they could only look for a new ally.
Right now, this exceptionally talented young hero Ye is naturally Meng Xu's best choice, and perhaps only choice.
"Whether it works or not, we'll find out in time. Even if I tell you now, Dad won't believe me." Meng Xiaoru was young, and she was facing her own father, so she naturally didn't expect that her father would use such cunning against her.
She genuinely believed that Ye Liang would protect her and her family, because Ye Liang was her elder brother Ye, and he would certainly not abandon her life or death.
Meng Xu wanted to use his daughter for this very reason.
"Alright. I'll trust you this time. When you have time, have your friends fly over and come visit. We'll treat them to a good time," Meng Xu said with a smile.
Now, the future and safety of the Meng family rest entirely on their daughter's shoulders.
Meng Xu naturally wouldn't take his daughter's guidance lightly.
Meng Xiaoru smiled innocently and said, "We'll talk about it later. My brother Ye is very busy. But if Father is worried, I can take him to Bixian Mountain so you can go and see my brother Ye in person. You can also visit him. We can also go to the mine and see my fourth uncle."
Upon hearing this, Meng Xu was overjoyed and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Since you have a way to send Father there, then hurry up and go. Father is free now!"
Seeing her father's eagerness, Meng Xiaoru calmed down and said with a smile, "Dad, what's the rush? Your daughter has just returned, and you're already in a hurry to send me away? Let me have lunch at home before I leave. I still need to talk to Mother. She's probably terrified by what's going on at home."
"That's right, that's right." Meng Xu understood that this matter could not be rushed. Although he was anxious as fire in his heart, he could only endure it for the time being.
In front of his daughter, he adopted a fatherly demeanor and pretended to be calm, saying, "Go ahead, go see your mother, talk to her, and ask her to cook you some delicious side dishes for lunch."
"Thank you, Dad!" Meng Xiaoru liked to hear this, and smiled again.
"Master! The messenger sent by Fourth Master from the mine has arrived!" a guard reported. "They have important news to report!"
"They're only arriving now! So slow!" Meng Xiaoru laughed.
Meng Xu shook his head speechlessly and said, "Let them come over."
My daughter, you've really grown arrogant these days.
"yes."
After the guards received their orders and left, the clan members sent by Meng Gu were finally allowed to step forward and pay their respects to the clan head: "Greetings, Clan Head!"
"Get up." Meng Xu gestured encouragingly, "You've worked hard!"
"Reporting to the patriarch," the clan members, who had just arrived from the mines a few days ago, were all taken aback when they saw Meng Xiaoru beside the master. "Uh, Miss Xiaoru, what brings you home?"
Meng Xiaoru immediately smiled gently and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I was just sent here today by my brother Ye using a magic talisman. So, I arrived before you. Therefore, my father already knows about this. You've all worked hard. Go and get some rest."
"Yes, Miss Xiaoru." The clan brothers smiled bitterly to themselves, thinking to themselves that all their hard work these past few days, which had been on the verge of collapse, had been for nothing.
After they left, Meng Xiaoru said to Meng Xu, "They were sent by Fourth Uncle to deliver Sun Qingyu's ashes. I didn't expect that before they even delivered Sun Qingyu's ashes, the matter here had already been resolved."
Upon hearing this, Meng Xu finally understood and said, "Sun Qingyu is really dead? I can hardly believe it. Someone actually dared to kill the young master of the Eternal Sect."
These were just her father's words of remark, so Meng Xiaoru did not argue.
She said calmly, "My brother Ye said, 'Don't say you weren't warned,' so you can't blame anyone else. My brother Ye always keeps his word. The only problem is that he's too arrogant, thinking that just because he's the young master of the Eternal Sect, no one will dare to touch him. With a personality like that, he's destined to run into a powerful figure sooner or later and be killed with a single palm strike."
"Uh... Ru'er, the way you talk now is so different from before." Meng Xu was genuinely impressed by his daughter's changed perspective.
She seems to have really grown up.
He couldn't help but feel jealous of Ye Liang. He felt that his daughter had changed so much in just a few days with him, which made even him, as her father, envious.
"No, I'm just telling the truth. I'm not going to talk to Dad anymore, he'll make fun of me. I'm going to talk to Mom." Meng Xiaoru's eyes were slightly flustered, and she wanted to run away.
Meng Xu, worried, called out to Meng Xiaoru again, "Ru'er, don't forget what you just promised me."
"Father, I've already forgotten." Meng Xiaoru teased her father on purpose, leaving Meng Xuzhen feeling helpless.
Now, he has to rely on his daughter to support the family, which makes him feel quite emotional and hurts his pride as a man.
He couldn't help but envy that young hero Ye, and couldn't help but think that if he had Ye Liang's strength, how majestic and awe-inspiring he would be in the martial world right now.
A short while later.
From an abandoned mine in the mountains behind Blackrock City, three or four pigeons flew out in a flock and soon disappeared into the distant horizon.
There are still spies from the Eternal Sect in Blackrock City.
There has never been only one spies, Meng Jing.
——
On Bixian Mountain.
A door opened, and out ran a small, fiery red fox. Its eyes were as bright and cheerful as an elf's. As soon as it came out, it hopped and skipped around the yard.
Meanwhile, in another courtyard, almost the same scene was unfolding. The junior sister's door opened, and Little Deer Bao'er jumped into the courtyard, jumping and calling out happily.
Inside the mountain gate, there is double joy today: both the Second Senior Sister and the Junior Senior Sister have successfully formed their Golden Cores!
The small mountain gate had been quiet all morning, but it suddenly became lively because of the two senior sisters' completion of their Core Formation seclusion.
