Chapter 110 She is your niece
Most of the time, Shen Hengfeng couldn't understand what the voice in his head said. He was thinking about something else, "Why did Shen Hengshan's men kill the woman he loved?"
The laughter in his head stopped, and he said seriously, "It seems that you don't understand. Love is everyone's weakness. What they are waiting for in the demon world is not ordinary people who fall in love with women and become weak, but impeccable gods. Naturally, they want to eliminate the weakness of the heavy mountain."
Shen Hengfeng thought it was ridiculous to hear this, the thing in his head didn't even have a body yet he was talking about love with him, but he just thought about it in his mind and didn't want to say it out loud. He did rely on a treasure to avoid Chongshan's fatal blow back then, but he remained in a half-dead state for about three hundred years. It was not until the appearance of this voice that his cultivation began to recover. He still had to rely on its ability and would not break off relations with it for the time being.
He followed the voice and said, "I see. But men, no matter how affectionate they pretend to be, are actually heartless. He had a close relationship with my niece back then, but now he has fallen in love with someone else not long after waking up. I really feel sorry for my little niece."
05300 had no interest in his topic and did not respond. Chen Hengfeng walked out of the yard in frustration, only to see Chongshan and his men standing outside the yard. The few people who had come in before to kill Xiaoshuang were also there. The people behind Chongshan were holding lights in their hands, making everyone's shadows dim.
Half of Chongshan's face was illuminated by the candle, and the other half was hidden in darkness. He asked, "Why did Senior Shen come out of this yard?"
It seemed that she came prepared. The girl must have discovered her purpose and had even made arrangements ahead of herself. Shen Hengfeng did not answer, nor was he panicked at all, watching the people from the Demon Realm enter the house to check.
Soon the demon world disciples came out to report the situation to Chongshan, and Chongshan said coldly: “Senior Shen, please explain what happened to the little maid who died in the room?”
Shen Hengfeng pretended to be surprised at first, and then said, "A little maid died? How would I know what happened? I just couldn't sleep at night, and I wanted to get along with Miss Xiaoshuang, so I came to chat with her. Her courtyard door was not locked, but she seemed to be asleep, so I didn't want to disturb her, and I saw you when I came out."
"Come to reminisce in the middle of the night?" Chongshan asked sarcastically.
Shen Hengfeng's smile faded, and his tone was full of pressure, and he said, "Chen Chenshan, are you interrogating me? Are you going to punish me for being just a little maid?"
In fact, the life of a little maidservant is indeed as light as a feather compared to that of a Mahayana cultivator. Even a heavy mountain cannot do anything to him. He is just helping Fu Ning to delay some time so that he can get something that can be used to deal with Shen Hengfeng as soon as possible.
He said, "Of course I believe in Senior Shen's character. He would never kill a little maid with no cultivation in the middle of the night. But I am worried that it will be bad for your reputation if this matter gets out. So I will investigate the matter tonight and clear your name. But I will trouble you to stay in the Demon Realm for a while longer."
She clearly wanted to kill herself but she insisted on staying for a few more days. She was probably trying to give Xiaoshuang time to escape. Shen Hengfeng saw through his purpose, but he had the help of the voice in his body, so he could catch the girl no matter where she escaped to.
He already thought Fu Ning was a sure thing, so he said nonchalantly: "Okay, I'll wait for your investigation results."
Shen Hengfeng did not return to his residence until dawn. He was still full of energy after not sleeping all night, but when he gathered in the morning, he found that Shen Qingning was missing.
Yan Qu said: "Qing Ning has something to do at home, so he will go back to Xianshan first."
Shen Hengfeng asked sternly, “Why did you leave the team without telling me?”
The teacher from the Formation Art Peak came over and said, "Qing Ning reported this to me. I saw that the mission had been completed, so I agreed."
"Tell me next time, okay?"
"Yes." The teacher of Zhenshu Peak agreed with his head down.
It wasn't a big deal, Shen Hengfeng didn't care, and stayed in the demon world at ease, waiting to see how Chen Shenshan would clear his name.
As a result, just one day later, the voice inside him suddenly said, "Someone has entered the cave where you are in seclusion."
——
Fu Ning and Shen Qingning returned to the Twelve Immortal Mountains before dawn on the third day. Shen Qingning took her to the top of the Shen Family Mountain and asked curiously, “Isn’t this the place where Senior Shen is in seclusion? What are you doing here?”
Fu Ning walked into the cave. There were simple stone beds and tables and some scattered pills inside. Apart from that, there was nothing else. She searched around and said, "Here is my inner pill."
Fortunately, she still had some connection with her inner elixir and could sense that it was nearby.
Shen Qingning followed behind her and said in surprise: "Why is your inner elixir in the place where Mr. Shen is in seclusion?"
Fu Ning waved his hand, "I don't know either. This is where I sensed it."
Shen Qingning asked cautiously: "Are you not on good terms? You didn't want to eat together before."
Fu Ning turned his head and glanced at her, the hatred in his eyes frightened Shen Qingning, “It’s very bad, he killed my father and brother for his own selfish desires, I must kill him.”
After saying that, she ignored Shen Qingning's eyes and walked deeper into the cave. She squatted on the ground and rummaged around, finally finding a metal box with rust on it under many stones.
She opened it and saw a bone-white, irregular small ball inside, about the size of a knuckle of her index finger. This was her inner elixir.
Fu Ning took out the inner elixir and put it into the storage bag, but Shen Qingning held her back, “Although I don’t quite understand, your inner elixir should have the spiritual power of the Tribulation Period. With your current cultivation level, you will definitely not be able to withstand such a strong spiritual power after eating it, and your body will have problems.”
Fu Ning looked at her, and was moved and took her hand off his arm: "I know, but I don't have time."
She walked out of the cave and thought about where she should go. Finally, she returned to Changwu Peak, which was the place she was most familiar with.
As soon as she stepped onto the mountain, Yan Hengyu appeared in front of her. He looked at her with great excitement, and after a long while he said, "You are finally back."
Fu Ning held the storage bag and asked, "It's been so long since we last met. Has your cultivation improved?"
Yan Hengyu nodded quickly and said, "I am about to reach the Void Stage. I will try to terminate the contract with Changwu Peak within a hundred years."
Fu Ning looked at the happy expression on his face, opened his mouth but couldn't bear to say that he couldn't see it anymore, so he just said, "I may need to stay in seclusion for about ten days after I come back."
Yan Hengyu never refuted anything she said. He didn't complain about why she took so long to come back, nor did he complain about her going into seclusion as soon as she came back. Instead, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll prepare the things you need for seclusion."
Wang Minglu soon learned of Fu Ning's return and rushed to Changwu Peak. As soon as he saw Fu Ning, he burst into tears, "Master, how could you bear to leave for so long?"
The veins on Fu Ning's forehead jumped. She couldn't stand it any longer as a grown man was still acting like a spoiled child to her. She pulled Wang Minglu away from her and said, "I have been in seclusion for fifty years and just came out recently."
Wang Minglu looked at her cultivation carefully and said in surprise: "Master, you are worthy of being called Master. Your cultivation has increased so fast. You will catch up with me in a few decades."
Fu Ning lowered his head and finally confessed: "Not for decades."
"……What's the meaning?"
She raised her head and said to Wang Minglu: “I want to take my previous inner elixir and kill Shen Hengfeng to avenge my father and brother.”
Wang Minglu was shocked, as if he had too many questions to ask. He choked for a moment. After a while, he said, "I don't understand. Why can't you wait a little longer? You will have the strength to fight him in less than a hundred years! Why don't you care about your own life and must kill him now? You should know the side effects of taking an inner elixir that exceeds your cultivation level. You will explode and die."
Fu Ning nodded, "I know, but I don't have time. He has already set his sights on me. I must kill him as soon as possible, otherwise I will be the one to die."
There was a sound of breaking porcelain outside the door. Fu Ning knew that it was Xiaoyu who heard their conversation. She was actually telling it to her. She really didn't have the courage to tell him the fact in person.
——
"Someone took Shen Funing's inner elixir away." The voice inside Shen Hengfeng said without any emotion.
Shen Hengfeng suddenly stood up from his chair, "Impossible! No one would know where I hid Shen Funing's inner elixir."
He suddenly thought of Shen Qingning. After she said something happened at home, the inner elixir he hid in the cave was stolen. He immediately called the teacher of Zhenshu Peak and asked, "Did Shen Qingning say why she went home?"
The teacher at the formation peak shook his head and said, "I don't dare to ask more about the Shen family. You can probably ask Yan Qu. He should know the inside story."
Shen Hengfeng called Yan Qu again.
He did know why Shen Qingning left, and since Shen Hengfeng was Qingning’s elder, he said truthfully: “It was because Miss Fu was looking for her that she was going back to Xianshan.”
Shen Hengfeng frowned, "Miss Fu? Which Miss Fu?"
"It's Fu Ning." Yan Qu said, "You greeted her before."
He looked at Shen Hengfeng's confused expression and understood, "So you didn't know that Miss Xiaoshuang's full name is Fu Ning."
The Xiaoshuang he thought was actually called Fu Ning? Shen Hengfeng immediately realized something was wrong, this was too much of a coincidence, not only did the name share the same name as his niece, but now he was the most likely person to have taken Shen Funing's inner elixir.
An answer was about to come out, and the voice in his head helped him say it, "It's obvious that the little girl we are looking for is actually your niece. No wonder she showed hatred in her eyes when she saw you. Now it makes sense, haha."
Shen Hengfeng couldn't say that he didn't believe in the story of the resurrection of the dead, but he still wanted to confirm his and the voice's guess, so he asked: "Are Fu Ning and Qing Ning on good terms?"
Yan Qu said: "Of course, they are..."
Shen Hengfeng waited for his next words, but he closed his mouth and ordered, "Go on, what are they?"
Yan Qu shook his head and said, "Nothing, Fu Ning saved Qing Ning before."
Seeing that he was still on guard against him, Shen Hengfeng continued, "I have always liked this child, Fu Ning. I don't know why she always reminds me of my niece. She acts very much like her. Now I know that not only do they act alike, but they even have the same name."
Seeing his nostalgic look, Yan Qu couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a good relationship with Immortal Master Shen?"
Shen Hengfeng thought there was something interesting in his tone, so he continued to fool around: "Of course, apart from her parents and brother, I am her closest person. She loved running behind me when she was a child."
After hearing this, Yan Qu hesitated for a moment and said kindly, "Your feeling is right... You may not believe it, but Fu Ning is indeed your niece."
