So much has happened these past few days, and I also need to talk to the Black Dragon Clan about their affairs.
It's inevitable that kid Xuanqing will start to hate me again...
Ling smiled bitterly as she walked toward Chenxin's residence.
-------------------------------------
Xuan Qing, who had almost run back in tears, was now looking at his master and senior brother with a resentful expression.
"Hey, Junior Brother Xuanqing, what brings you back? What's wrong? You look so worried..."
Xuan Jiu knew exactly what Xuan Qing was thinking. He figured that Xuan Qing must feel wronged and had come to them for comfort.
If Xuan Jiu had previously worried that Xuan Qing might be bullied, after his own sect leader's "lecture," he actually became somewhat gloating.
Now that he saw Xuan Qing was safe and sound, he knew that Ling hadn't really harmed Xuan Qing. Relieved, but also slightly regretful, he couldn't help but say in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
He knew, of course, that Zero wouldn't attack Xuan Qing, but his junior brother's biggest flaw was his impatience; he said whatever came to mind. To put it bluntly, he was stubborn and never thought before he spoke…
In truth, he secretly hoped that Zero could help his junior brother change his personality.
"snort."
Xuan Qing snorted coldly, not wanting to speak to Xuan Jiu.
In his view, they had just "abandoned" him. He naturally wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to his own sect leader, but Xuan Jiu, hmph, he had his own little grievances too!
"What's wrong? You don't even want to listen to your senior brother anymore? Xuanqing... you're really hurting your senior brother's feelings..."
"My senior brother's heart is aching..."
"Ah... my beloved junior brother..."
Xuan Jiu clutched his heart in feigned pain, while secretly watching Xuan Qing's movements, feeling a secret sense of joy.
It seems... teasing my junior brother like this is actually quite fun?
Xuan Jiu seemed to have discovered a new continent, so happy he was completely disoriented. He completely ignored his junior brother's increasingly mournful gaze.
"Well, Xuan Jiu, I see now. You and Ling are in cahoots! You were just trying to trick me, weren't you?"
Seeing Xuanqing's annoyed expression, Chenxin shook his head and chuckled, feeling somewhat helpless towards Xuanqing.
His youngest disciple's temperament is hard to describe—whether it's a good thing or a bad thing...
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, carrying a slight chuckle from the owner:
"Tell me, what did I do to you?"
Ling slowly approached from the doorway, a slight smile playing on her lips as she looked at Xuan Qing with amusement.
Xuan Qing knew it was Zero without even looking. He instinctively wanted to expose Zero's "crimes" to the public, but then he remembered something, shut his mouth, and stared at him with his emerald green eyes.
"Hahaha……"
Ling smiled teasingly at him, greeted Chen Xin and Xuan Jiu, and then found a seat.
His brows furrowed slightly, his initial frivolity gone, and he said seriously:
"I have something to tell you."
"good."
Chen Xin smiled faintly and replied.
"By the way, where is Sister Ziyou?"
Xuan Jiu suddenly asked a question, expressing some confusion as to why Zi You hadn't come with Ling Yi.
"She suddenly had something to do when she came over and went back inside. She must be about to level up..."
Zero explained.
However, even now he doesn't know what race Ziyou is. She seems to be a magical beast, but she doesn't seem to be... Even her advancement and evolution are different from ordinary beasts.
Shaking his head, he banished the thoughts from his mind and returned to the main topic.
The story briefly touches on the events of falling into the quicksand vortex, encountering Zi You along the way, the two working together to overcome obstacles, and obtaining the inheritance, while also concealing the plot of the ice chamber being almost possessed and the absorption of spiritual energy into the cave.
Zero begins by recounting his encounters with the Black Dragon Clan and others:
"At that time, Ziyou and I pretended to be lost travelers from the upper realm and infiltrated the group. Taking advantage of the black-robed man's inattention, we released most of the people from their control, and then suddenly attacked, intending to subdue him directly, but we didn't expect him to have another move..."
"Later, he turned into a spirit and almost escaped, but fortunately my partner helped him and prevented him from escaping."
Zero only mentioned his partners and didn't name Xiao Jiu, so Chen Xin and the others naturally didn't ask any further questions.
Everyone has their own secrets, and there's a reason why Zero doesn't tell. They don't need to expose everything about him...
Zero continued:
"Unexpectedly, just as we were questioning him and obtaining crucial information, a cloud of black mist suddenly rose from the ground, enveloping the soul of the man in the black robe. I used my divine sense to investigate, and was astonished to find that his soul power was constantly diminishing, and his soul was dissipating..."
“Soul Imprint…”
"Dust in my heart murmured."
Zero nodded repeatedly, agreeing:
“That’s right, that’s what my partner told me too. He said that soul imprints are usually placed on people to bind them and prevent them from saying certain information that cannot be said. They are mainly aimed at the soul.”
"Because of the existence of the soul imprint, we didn't get any useful information and had to let the matter drop."
At this point, Zero suddenly glanced at Xuan Qing and continued:
“When Ziyou and I left, those people insisted on following us. I was unwilling, but Ziyou said that they could make them swear an oath, and then the rules of heaven and earth would serve as a constraint.”
“I thought that our homeland’s fighting strength was too weak at the moment, and that with the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, they would not do anything to harm people, so I agreed. That is why I brought them back with me.”
Seeing Ling's ambiguous smile, Xuan Qing glared back.
