Chapter 187 The Special Features of Meng Shuang
In the woods.
Chu Ning felt a little helpless. He didn't expect that in this world of cultivators, he would actually meet someone crying.
This world is cruel and tears are worthless.
So much so that when he saw the girl from Wentianmen crying, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
It’s not that he has any sympathy for women.
But this girl has a powerful backer behind her, and he comes from the Wentian Sect. If I really want to take action against her, the Wentian Sect will definitely pursue it.
Xiyue Sect cannot hide this matter. At that time, they will have to face the Wentian Sect and Xuantian Sect.
Therefore, the first thing to do is to confirm the identity of this girl.
"Who are you?"
"I... I'm Meng Shuang, my father is the leader of Wentian Sect, don't think of killing me to silence me, I don't know anything."
The corner of Chu Ning's mouth twitched. Even the charge of "murder to silence witnesses" had come out, but he still knew nothing.
But Chu Ning really didn't have the intention to kill.
Knowing that this woman has a powerful backer behind her, killing her on Xiyue Sect's territory would only bring trouble to both himself and Xiyue Sect.
But Chu Ning was curious about what the girl knew. His divine sense would not be wrong. The girl could not have heard his conversation with Yao Xin in the cave, so why did the girl say something like "kill to silence the witness".
Just seeing Yao Xin looking for him was not something shameful.
"If you want to live, tell us what you know."
Chu Ning's face showed a fierce look, with murderous intent in his eyes. Meng Shuang's neck shrank: "I... I know you are the real Yao Xin, no, the Yao Xin who made the elixir back then."
Hearing Meng Shuang's words, Chu Ning was shocked, but his expression remained unchanged: "How did you know?"
This woman's realm is only the Foundation Establishment Stage. Chu Ning believes that he is not the only one in this world who has the technique to conceal his realm, but realm is realm, and a person's demeanor cannot be copied.
This woman's expression clearly showed that she was a young girl who had little experience in the world. And to be able to go undetected by his own spiritual sense, she must be at least in the late Jindan stage.
A cultivator in the late Jindan stage can act like an inexperienced young girl. This is not because of his good acting skills but because of a split personality.
"I have a special sense of the soul. I remembered your soul from the beginning. When I arrived at Qinghuo Peak today, I found that Yao Xin's soul was different from what I sensed at the beginning. I knew that Yao Xin was not the real Yao Xin, and then I secretly followed her..."
Meng Shuang told everything in one go, and then looked at Chu Ning cautiously: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your affairs."
Chu Ning stared at Meng Shuang. He didn't expect that Meng Shuang had such a special ability to detect the difference in a person's soul. This meant that his substitution technique had no effect at all in front of the other party.
Meng Shuang has such a special ability, what about other people? The cultivator world is so large, and although there are not many people with similar special abilities as Meng Shuang, there are definitely some.
This sounded a warning bell in Chu Ning's heart. Even if he had the temporary replacement technique, he could not be complacent.
"No one knows about this except me. I won't tell my father and the elders. I promise."
Meng Shuang saw Chu Ning's expression changing from bright to dark, and seemed to know what Chu Ning was worried about. She raised her little hand and said seriously.
"I heard that someone from your Wentian Sect wanted me to go to your sect. Is there something going on?"
Chu Ning did not respond to Meng Shuang's words. Meng Shuang's identity as the daughter of the leader of Wentian Sect meant that he was destined to be unable to touch her. As for whether she would really keep it a secret, that depended entirely on Meng Shuang herself.
"Really? Why haven't I heard Daddy say that?"
Meng Shuang asked back. Chu Ning stared at Meng Shuang's puzzled little face. He could tell from her expression that Meng Shuang was not lying.
So this matter has a very high level of confidentiality for Wentianmen?
Not necessarily. Given Meng Shuang's personality, if I were the leader of Wentian Sect, there are some things I would not tell her daughter.
Just as Chu Ning was thinking about what to do next, his eyes looked up into the air, where a Jindan realm aura was approaching.
The aura was very unfamiliar. It was not from those elders of Xiyue Sect. So it must be that the people from Xiyue Sect who came from Wentian Gate discovered that Meng Shuang was missing and followed the trail to find her.
After a few breaths, the other party landed in the forest and immediately locked his eyes on Chu Ning.
"Uncle Zhou."
When Meng Shuang saw the person coming, she immediately ran over in a coquettish manner. Zhou Tong saw the tear marks on Meng Shuang's face, his expression changed instantly, and he looked at Chu Ning with hostility.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Zhou Tong didn't know every Jindan expert in Xiyue Sect, but he knew the male Jindan elders of Xiyue Sect, and there were only two of them in total.
One of them was not willing to cause trouble in the sect, so he chose to stay out for a long time and flirt with women everywhere. He was a well-known playboy in Xiyue Sect. The other one stayed in the mountain gate all the time and was a well-known love-sick man in the Jindan circle.
The person in front of me doesn't match those two.
"Chun Ning."
"Chun Ning?"
Zhou Tong frowned. The name seemed familiar. He seemed to have heard of it somewhere.
The next moment Zhou Tong remembered that this was the name of Xiyue Sect's son-in-law.
But isn’t it rumored in the outside world that Chu Ning is only in the Foundation Establishment Stage? Why is he in the Golden Core Stage?
Hiding your strength from the outside world? "Uncle Zhou, I just encountered a monster here. I was scared to death. It was Brother Chu Ning who saved me."
Meng Shuang sensed that something was wrong between the two men and quickly found a reason to explain.
"Really?" Zhou Tong looked at Meng Shuang.
"That's right. Brother Chu Ning is my savior. I want to thank him very much."
Meng Shuang nodded heavily. Zhou Tong was silent for a moment, then looked up at Chu Ning and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chu, for your help."
"No problem."
Chu Ning waved his hands. He knew that Zhou Tong did not believe Meng Shuang's words. Not only did the man in front of him not believe it, he also did not believe it.
Would the daughter of the leader of Wentian Sect be frightened by a monster?
How powerful a monster must that be?
At least it is impossible for someone below the Jindan level. With the status of the leader of the Wentian Sect, it is impossible that he did not give his daughter some powerful spiritual weapons for self-defense.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Xiyue Sect does not have any demonic beasts above the Jindan level. Even if there were any, they would not appear on Hongri Peak, but would be hiding deep in the mountains.
Chu Ning's guess was correct. Zhou Tong did not believe Meng Shuang's words, but he also knew that Chu Ning did not do anything excessive to Xiao Shuang, otherwise Xiao Shuang would not have made up lies to cover up Chu Ning.
He could find other opportunities to slowly extract information from Xiao Shuang about what exactly happened. Chu Ning was the son-in-law of Xiyue Sect and a powerful Jindan realm expert himself. He was not someone he could question casually.
Zhou Tong took Meng Shuang away. Before leaving, Meng Shuang waved his fist heavily at Chu Ning to assure him that he would not betray him.
The little girl's action made Chu Ning smile. The daughter of the leader of Wentian Sect was quite cute.
…
…
"Xiao Shuang, what happened? Don't tell Uncle Zhou that you were scared by the monster. If you still answer like that, Uncle Zhou will have to tell your father."
"don't want!"
Meng Shuang stopped him immediately and told her father. Given her father's temper, he would probably come to Xiyue Sect immediately and demand an explanation from Brother Chu Ning.
"Uncle Zhou, if you do this, Xiao Shuang will never talk to you again."
Meng Shuang pouted: "Not only will I ignore you, I will also go back and tell Second Grandfather that Uncle Zhou bullied me."
Hearing Meng Shuang mention his second grandfather, Zhou Tong's face changed slightly. Ordinary disciples of Wentian Sect didn't know, but it was a point recognized by them, the Jindan elders, that in Wentian Sect, it was okay to quarrel with the sect leader, but one must not mess with the little princess.
If you offend the sect leader, the most you can do is fight with him, and then ask your second uncle to judge the case.
But if you offend the little princess, you will not only have to fight with the sect leader, but you will also be severely punished by your second uncle.
"Are you really okay?"
Zhou Tong was a little worried, Meng Shuang nodded heavily and said: "It really has nothing to do with Brother Chu Ning, and Brother Chu Ning is very powerful. No... I can't tell you, Uncle Zhou."
Meng Shuang covered her mouth halfway through her speech. Zhou Tong touched Meng Shuang's head with a doting smile on his face.
The reason why the little princess has such a high status in Wentian Sect is that, apart from the second uncle-master and the sect master, the elders like her also like the little princess because of her innocence.
In fact, what Zhou Tong didn’t know was that all the disciples in the sect knew that a recognized rule in the Wentian Sect was that one should not mess with the little princess.
Because anyone who dares to offend the little princess will be severely punished by the elders.
"Stop wandering around and watch the Xiyue Sect's competition obediently."
Zhou Tong narrowed his eyes. Every ten years, the Xiyue Sect would invite people from the other three major sects to watch the competition. This time it was his turn to lead the team, but Xiaoshuang insisted on coming, and the sect leader could not persuade her, so he could only let Xiaoshuang come with him.
"Uncle Zhou, did Daddy find many people who are good at alchemy?"
On the flying sword, Meng Shuang pretended to ask casually, but Zhou Tong's expression suddenly became serious: "Who told you?"
At this moment, Zhou Tong's expression was even more serious than when he saw the tears on Meng Shuang's face.
"I...I saw it myself." Meng Shuang was frightened. She had never seen Uncle Zhou with such a serious expression.
"Is this matter the sect's top secret?"
Realizing that he had frightened Xiao Shuang, Zhou Tong smiled again and replied, "It's not a top secret. I just need to find an alchemist to make a pill. This pill is a bit difficult, so I need to find a few more alchemists."
"Uncle Zhou, just try to fool me. If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I don't even bother to know."
Meng Shuang snorted lightly, summoned a flying sword and flew away.
Watching Meng Shuang flying away on her sword, Zhou Tong gave a bitter smile. Xiao Shuang was afraid that he would ask her more questions, so she found an excuse to run away.
But there was no way he could tell Xiaoshuang the answer to this matter.
This is the tacit understanding of all the Jindan elders in the entire Wentian Sect. This matter must be kept secret from Xiaoshuang. Anyone who dares to disclose it will be beaten up by the great-grandmaster.
