I came back from school as usual, but when I got home, there was one big difference.
There is no one at home waiting for Zhou Qing every night anymore.
"You will be the only one here from now on."
Bai Ruoyue looked around the peach forest and said, "The environment is nice, but it's a pity that it would be too lonely if I were alone."
"That's not a problem." Zhou Qing said with a smile, "Aunt Mo came here the same way before."
The two of them entered the attic and sat on chairs, facing each other across the table.
This place is considered one of their residences, so there is no procedure for entertaining guests. It is just like being at home, very casual.
Bai Ruoyue held her chin with one hand, looked at Zhou Qing, and asked, "Junior brother, did you know about my mother's affairs a long time ago?"
"I recalled today that you told me several times before that I must have left Taibai Martial Arts School before you."
"That's a reminder, right?"
She had always thought that she could stay in Taibai Martial Arts School forever, and even go out with her junior brother to travel around the world.
But after learning about this, all the thoughts I had before became unreal.
Bai Ruoyue must make a choice, and the answer to this choice needs no further explanation.
Zhou Qing knew that Bai Ruoyue followed him back tonight not just to rest, but must have something to say.
He nodded, "Master did tell me about this in advance, but he probably hadn't thought it through and decided whether to take you back, so he didn't tell me."
"Big sister, don't blame the master, he has no other options."
Bai Ruoyue put down her hand, shook her head and said, "I don't have such thoughts. Dad is not wrong."
The two people were in love and had a child, but they were forcibly separated by the girl's family.
What can a powerless man from the countryside do?
Fight with the Ling family? Back then, that young man couldn't do anything.
"And Aunt Mo, she is a good friend of your mother. Because she had an accident before and could not continue to practice, it was because of your mother's request that she came to Black Cloud Town to take care of you and accompany you."
Bai Ruoyue muttered something when she heard this.
"No one has ever told me about this before. It has been kept secret from me."
"I can't tell you. If Master hadn't been promoted to the True Blood Realm, he would have kept this matter in his heart forever and would not have told anyone except the original insider."
Zhou Qing sighed softly, "If you knew these things in advance, it would cause you a lot of trouble."
Only by cultivating himself to the True Blood Realm would Bai Tian be looked up to by the Ling family and be qualified to bring Bai Ruoyue back to the Ling family.
"I can understand Dad's intentions." Bai Ruoyue said sadly:
"But I really miss my mom."
"Little Junior Brother, do you know? There was a time when I was a kid, and when I played with other kids my age, they would always talk about how great their mothers were."
"Sometimes, when it's late to play, the aunts will come to look for their children, carry them home and scold them."
"And I can only go back to the martial arts gym alone."
"Junior brother, what kind of person do you think my mother would be?"
Zhou Qing replied: "It's someone who loves you very much."
Bai Ruoyue's mouth pursed, "You haven't even seen it, how would you know."
"It's been more than ten years. My mother might have forgotten me."
"No." Zhou Qing said seriously:
"What mother would forget her child?"
"Big sister, Master's wife specially asked Aunt Mo to take care of you. She must love you."
Zhou Qing continued, "Also, Senior Sister, don't forget the secret martial arts we practiced."
"This inheritance is shared by Master and Master's Wife. They don't own it separately. Before they separated, they were contemplating it together."
"After they separated, the master returned with the secret weapon, and the master's wife lost the secret weapon. I think this was specially prepared for you, hoping that you can become better."
"I still remember that when Master first taught me the secret martial arts, he said that there was a special reason why you could master the secret martial arts, right?"
"Yeah, that's right." Bai Ruoyue nodded.
"Before I started practicing, my father gave me a black stone to eat. I don't know what it was."
"My father said that it is a treasure related to secret martial arts. It can turn a person into the most suitable inheritor of this set of secret martial arts. It can even change the foundation and replace the original training method with secret martial arts. It is unique."
Hearing this, Zhou Qing looked at Bai Ruoyue with a smile and asked:
"Isn't that obvious enough?"
"Master and Master's Wife are thinking about you wholeheartedly. They love you very much."
Bai Tian did talk a lot with Zhou Qing about how he obtained the secret martial arts back then.
When they parted, Ling Yue asked him to take away all the inheritance and the treasure, and to raise his daughter well, let her grow up happily, and give her the power to protect her own happiness.
Bai Ruoyue remained silent.
"Junior brother, you are right. I will leave Black Cloud Town before you." Bai Ruoyue said:
"I will go to Yujing. I want to find my mother."
"I support all your decisions, Senior Sister." Zhou Qing said with a smile, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with going to Yujing. When you get to the Ling family, you can eat the Ling family's food, use the Ling family's things, and use the Ling family's resources to cultivate and grow."
"When the time comes, everyone will have to look at your face, and no one will dare to speak loudly to you anymore."
Zhou Qing was not joking, he really supported Bai Ruoyue's idea of being the leader of the Ling family.
From the experiences of the past few months, Zhou Qing realized that it was too difficult to fight alone, and he had to take advantage of his power to bully others.
At the command, people will come to respond. If you want something, just give an order and the people under you will naturally get it for you.
For example, if the strange fire of heaven and earth was needed by the master of Xuandu Temple, there was no need for him to go in person. The people below could take care of everything.
But it would be too troublesome to build a power on my own.
The question is, you can’t wait for the power you have established to grow, but you don’t want to fight alone, so what should you do?
The answer is simple.
Just find a force to join and then climb to the top.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Suppose Zhou Qing successfully joins Xuandu Temple, and in the more distant future the abbot of Xuandu Temple dies and Zhou Qing ascends to the immortal throne.
So who is this Xuandu Temple? Xuandu Temple may also belong to Zhou! After such an operation, you can directly obtain a thousand-year-old inheritance for your own use and for your own benefit.
Isn't it much better than struggling to create a power or being a lone ranger?
Now I am going to be a true disciple, but sooner or later I will take the position of the master of the temple.
I am not yet strong, but when I grow strong, things will change!
If Bai Ruoyue could really be pushed to the position of the head of the Ling family, the benefits to Zhou Qing would be self-evident.
A master of a temple and a master of a family, make the temple bigger and stronger and create greater glory.
But Bai Ruoyue was amused by Zhou Qing's words, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have such thoughts."
She just thought he was comforting her, and she really didn't have such lofty ambitions.
But Zhou Qing just smiled and didn't elaborate on his thoughts. It was still very early and no one would take it seriously if he told them. It was enough for him to just keep it to himself.
As for Bai Ruoyue’s idea of not being in charge of the Ling family?
When the time comes, he will cooperate with her from both inside and outside and put on the yellow robe. She will have to do it even if she doesn't want to.
The same goes for Zhou Qing's future. If he really joins Xuandu Temple and successfully ascends to immortality, then even if he says that he has no intention of becoming the temple master, the people below will take the initiative to push him up.
You guys have really made me suffer. (Put on a yellow robe)
"Junior brother, we will be separated soon. We are so far apart that I don't know how long it will take for us to see each other again." Bai Ruoyue felt a little melancholy.
"Xuanfa Mountain and Yujing are so far apart, so far that I didn't think I would ever experience them in person."
“I feel a little lost when I think about going so far away.”
Hanzhou is located in the northernmost part of Da Qi and is indeed very far away from Yujing.
When the Great Qi established its capital in Yujing, it also intended to move away from Xuanfa Mountain.
There is no place that is more powerful than this one next to the capital of a dynasty.
It is normal for Bai Ruoyue to feel confused. When a person leaves his hometown and goes far away to a place that he is completely unfamiliar with, he will definitely feel confused at the beginning.
"It is indeed very far away for us now, but when we cultivate to the True Blood Realm or even the Earth-Clearing Realm in the future, it will not be a big deal."
"Master Sister, remember, everything that is powerless in the world comes from the lack of strength of the person involved."
"So after you get to Yujing, don't slack off in your cultivation. Make use of the Ling family's resources to grow faster."
In any case, the resources there are definitely richer than here.
Even the basic resources of the Ling family are not comparable to those of Taibai Martial Arts School.
Zhou Qing added: "Big Sister, when you leave, I have a gift for you."
"What is it?"
"I'll tell you then. If I tell you now, there won't be any surprises."
So far, Zhou Qing plans to give Bai Ruoyue a real inner armor, which is the one that was opened from the treasure chest.
There is nothing else.
However, if you find something suitable for Bai Ruoyue in the treasure chest later, you can give it to her.
"Then I'll be waiting."
Bai Ruoyue smiled more and more, and the complicated emotions in her heart also dissipated a lot.
This conversation with Zhou Qing did effectively help her relieve the depression.
She didn't need Zhou Qing to help her make choices. What she needed was a listener and a communicator.
After a while, Bai Ruoyue clapped her hands and stood up.
"It's getting late, I should go back."
Zhou Qing was stunned. "Aren't you going to rest here tonight?"
Damn it, that’s not what you said when you came!
"Aunt Mo is not here again, it's not good for the two of us to live here together."
What, you still want to be with Aunt Mo? (End of this chapter)
