Chapter 117 Ying Tiancheng's Request
Xu Qiuqian followed Ying Liangzhi to Ying's house.
On the way, Ying Liangzhi said, "I don't know much about Ying Zhen's family, but he is an inner clan disciple and was valued by Fourth Brother before, so I have some impression of him. Later, I heard that after Ying Zhen went out for training two years ago, his mother was no longer as arrogant and domineering as usual, but became cautious and careful instead."
Xu Qiuqian seemed to be thinking about something.
If it's just a simple experience, there's no need to change your personality, right?
"What kind of cultivation should be achieved?"
"The tenth level of Qi Refining."
Go out to practice at the tenth level of Qi Refining? Generally speaking, cultivators from large families and sects would choose to practice when their cultivation had stagnated for a long time, and for the Qi Refining stage, even if they practiced, they would do so after their Qi Refining was complete.
This way you can build your foundation in one fell swoop when you come back.
Or it could be the experience after building the foundation.
But there was something wrong with the experience of the tenth level of Qi Refining.
At this time, the two of them had already entered the Ying family.
Xu Qiuqian suddenly stopped, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"Wait."
"how?"
"Let's not go find Ying Zhen's mother first. Where do you live?"
Ying Liangzhi didn't understand why but still said, "I'll take you there."
The two came to Ying Liangzhi's residence.
There are restrictions in Ying Liangzhi's residence, and conversations inside cannot be heard outside, so there is no need for a soundproof array.
"Don't you think it's strange? Ying Zhen went out to gain experience at the tenth level of Qi Refining, and Ying Zhen's mother's personality changed drastically after Ying Zhen appeared."
You know, as an inner-clan disciple valued by Ying Tiancheng, Ying Zhen has good spiritual roots and is definitely not short of resources.
In this case, even if you rely on piling up resources, you can still complete the Qi Refining.
There is no need to go out for training.
Unless he did something that forced him to go out and hide for a while, and Ying Zhen's mother obviously knew about it, she would be so cautious after that, as if she had disappeared.
"Because something happened two years ago, and this incident has a lot to do with Ying Zhen's training."
"What is it?"
"Two years ago, a dozen foreign disciples went deep into the Fierce Wind Forest to hunt. As a result, most of the foreign disciples who went there were killed or injured. The disciples who returned were also seriously injured, and most of them did not survive."
"What does this have to do with Ying Zhen?"
“I heard that it was Ying Zhen who suggested going to Fierce Wind Forest to hunt.
Among the dozen or so foreign disciples, two were the sons of the head of the Ying family branch. They complained to Ying Tiancheng, who suppressed the matter. Not long after, Ying Zhen went to practice. "
So this is the reason why Ying Zhen went to gain experience.
In order to avoid the limelight, Ying Zhen chose to go out for training, and Ying Zhen's mother also changed her character. She was afraid of being remembered and hated by the branch, so she tried not to appear in public.
It sounds like nothing is wrong and everything makes sense.
Xu Qiuqian shook her head.
"wrong."
Ying Liangzhi was puzzled.
"What's wrong?"
"According to what you said, Ying Tiancheng has already suppressed the matter. There is no need for Ying Zhen to choose to go out for training after suppressing the matter. This causal relationship is wrong."
After Xu Qiuqian said this, Ying Liangzhi also reacted.
"Yeah! The matter has been suppressed and there is no need to leave. So why should he leave?" Ying Liangzhi fell into deep thought.
He didn't think about anything more at that time.
After all, he could hardly take care of himself at that time, so how could he take care of others?
Xu Qiuqian thought thoughtfully: "Unless, after that incident, another incident happened immediately, forcing Ying Zhen to go out for refuge."
She looked at Ying Liangzhi.
"Did anything else happen after that incident?"
Ying Liangzhi thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Think about it carefully."
Ying Liangzhi fell into deep thought and began to recall.
Seeing this, Xu Qiuqian sorted out everything he knew about Ying Zhen.
Ying Zhen, who was at the tenth level of Qi Refining, was Ying Tiancheng's favorite and most valued inner-clan disciple. He was usually entrusted with many important tasks. Five years ago, he met the Xie siblings at the city gate and saw him bringing more than twenty people from other cities to expand the group into outer-clan disciples.
Two years ago, he suggested to a dozen foreign disciples who wanted to earn spirit stones and resources to go hunting in the depths of the Fierce Wind Forest.
As a result, most of the dozen or so foreign disciples were killed or injured, and those who managed to survive did not survive.
After the matter was known by the elders of the dozen or so foreign disciples, they reported it to Ying Tiancheng. Ying Tiancheng suppressed the matter, and not long after that, Ying Zhen went out to gain experience.
Yes, there is definitely a missing link here.
This is what happened after Ying Tiancheng suppressed the matter.
And this incident is the key to Ying Zhen's leaving the Ying family.
At this moment, a short, mournful cry drew Xu Qiuqian's attention back. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a bird that was completely fiery red with shiny feathers, which was extremely beautiful.
Seeing Xu Qiuqian looking at it, the bird fluttered its wings, opened its mouth and spit out fire.
"Xiao Hong, don't be naughty!"
Ying Liangzhi stopped Xiaohong's actions, and Xiaohong stopped spitting fire and retracted her fluttering wings.
"This is my spirit beast, Xiaohong. It has a slightly bad temper, but it knows its limits."
Xu Qiuqian nodded, stopped paying attention, and looked away.
"Have you thought of anything?"
"There is one, but I don't know if it is."
"you say."
"After Ying Zhen went out for training, Feng Qingyan from the Feng family came to visit. I don't know what they said specifically, but I only know that for a long time afterwards, Feng Qingyan would turn his nose up at Ying Tiancheng and would argue with him no matter what he did."
Feng Qingyan, from the Feng family.
Xu Qiuqian seemed to be thinking about something.
"I see."
"Then do you still want to go and see Ying Zhen's mother?"
Xu Qiuqian shook her head.
"I'll go to the Feng family first to find out the situation. As for here, it's not advisable to alert the enemy."
"Oh well."
Just as she was about to leave, Ying Liangzhi's pet Xiaohong came over and pecked at her clothes.
“…”
"Xiaohong, what are you doing? I'm sorry, Manager Xu, Xiaohong wasn't like this before. I don't know what happened to her today."
Xiaohong was playing a prank on Xu Qiuqian just now, but now she looks like she likes it very much.
The changes are huge.
But no matter which kind of change occurs in Xiaohong, it is very strange.
Xu Qiuqian said nothing and left.
However, before she walked out of the Ying family, a disciple of the Ying family stopped her.
"Manager Xu, our Fourth Master wants to see you."
Xu Qiuqian raised an eyebrow.
Ying Tiancheng? She was still wondering when Ying Liangzhi would take her to meet Ying Tiancheng, but she didn't expect that he would take the initiative to meet her.
But why? He had been acting uninterested before, but now he suddenly wanted to see her.
With doubts, Xu Qiuqian followed the disciples of the Ying family to Ying Tiancheng's residence.
Ying Tiancheng is worthy of being the invisible head of the Ying family. His residence is hundreds of times better than Ying Liangzhi's. Many things look ordinary, but they reveal low-key luxury everywhere.
Soon, she met the real head of the Ying family as told in the legend.
