Chapter 451 Frankness
Kong Zhao sighed slowly and said:
"Because he has no talent, but somehow he became my disciple, I wanted to send him to a mortal sect for a few years, but he stubbornly refused. I finally gave in and let him stay."
"What a coincidence?" Lin Qingqing was a little surprised. "Why is this? You knew that he had no talent, so how could you accept him as your disciple?"
Kong Zhao shook his head and said:
"The year I met Chang Heng, he was only ten years old. He was escorted by guards to a mortal sect to learn martial arts. As a result, he encountered assassins on the way. All the guards were killed, and he himself was seriously injured."
"The only way to save him at that time was to use our sect's secret technique, but the sect's rules forbid secretaries from using it on outsiders. I had no choice but to ask him if he was willing to be my disciple, so that he could survive. He agreed."
Yun Qingqing understood:
"In that case, it was indeed an accident. Fortunately, the Sect Master is kind-hearted, otherwise he would have died on the way to learn martial arts from his master."
"Then... How come Xiao Changheng has been studying in your Shuihua Sect for several years but he didn't know that this is a Xuanmen sect?" Lin Qingqing couldn't help but ask.
Kong Zhao sighed again:
"This child has been full of pride since he was young, but I found that he has no talent at all. I was afraid that he would find out that he was the only one who couldn't practice and would not be able to bear the blow, so I kept it secret from him."
"Although he was my direct disciple, he actually lived in the most remote part of the outer sect. I deliberately tried to keep him away from the affairs of the sect as little as possible. I taught him sword skills every day, and I personally went to the courtyard where he lived to teach him... Fortunately, he was fully focused on martial arts at the time and knew nothing about the affairs of the Xuanmen, so he didn't notice anything unusual."
"As for the sect disciples, this is a secret order from this seat, no one dares to reveal this to him."
Yun Qingqing held his forehead with his hand, quite speechless.
She originally thought that Xiao Changheng was being ostracized by the gatekeepers, but she didn't know the truth was this... She felt that Sect Master Kong Zhao and the entire sect were taking great care of this disciple who was unable to practice, but the way they took care of him was hard to describe.
She suddenly thought of something else:
"Master, I see that almost everyone in your sect is a sword cultivator, so this should be the Sword Sect?"
Kong Zhao nodded:
"Little Taoist Yun, you have good eyesight. The Shuihua Sect is mainly engaged in sword cultivation. There are a few disciples who specialize in other aspects. They are not bad at sword cultivation, but they are stronger in other aspects."
Yun Qingqing finally figured out what the vague sense of disharmony she had felt before was about, and looked at her with a raised eyebrow:
"Then why did Xiao Changheng practice swordsmanship? Why didn't you let him practice swordsmanship?"
Kong Zhao was stunned for a moment, his expression somewhat complicated:
"Although our sect is not a big one, as long as the disciples use swords, they naturally aim to become strong sword cultivators. Chang Heng is unable to practice at all, so how can I teach him swordsmanship?"
Yun Qingqing secretly held her forehead and understood.
It was the sect leader who had an inexplicable insistence that since Xiao Changheng couldn't be a sword practitioner, he should just not touch the sword and learn the knife skills directly.
So there appeared the only junior brother in the sect who was unable to practice. He had been kept in the dark for several years. While others used swords, he used a knife.
Yun Qingqing was somewhat helpless:
"Then he never asked why other sisters learned swordsmanship, but he was the only one who used a knife?"
"Of course I asked," Kong Zhao smiled slightly, "I said he is a genius in swordsmanship, it would be a pity if he didn't learn it."
Yun Qingqing: ...
Can.
Kong Zhao saw what she was thinking and chuckled:
"Little Taoist friend, don't worry too much. I am not lying. Chang Heng is indeed gifted in martial arts. No matter which weapon he learns, he can be called a genius. Learning the sword is not a waste of time for him."
Yun Qingqing nodded, knowing that she was right:
"Thank you for your concern, Master."
After resolving Yun Qingqing's doubts, Kong Zhao looked at her with a complicated expression:
"Can you tell me now? Why did you marry Chang Heng? Do you know what impact this will have on you two?"
Yun Qingqing now understood that she was really worried about Xiao Changheng, so she told him frankly:
"Master, don't worry. Our marriage was a mistake, but now that we are husband and wife, I will protect him for the rest of my life."
Kong Zhao's expression eased a little after hearing her say this, but he still had doubts:
"But you have to understand that since Chang Heng cannot practice cultivation, he is destined to not be your Taoist partner. What if in the future..."
Yun Qingqing interrupted calmly:
"Nothing will happen. Not to mention that I have never considered the matter of a companion, I have already made a hundred-year agreement with him, and I will never have any other thoughts during this period."
Kong Zhao met her clear and frank gaze, nodded slowly, and showed a hint of appreciation:
"That's good."
She thought for a moment and then continued:
"But after all, you are a member of the Xuanmen sect. Being married to an ordinary person is bound to be a bit restrictive... Once someone becomes hostile to you, it is likely to affect him. You must be careful."
"Don't worry, Master." Yun Qingqing nodded, thinking that Xiao Changheng had caused enough trouble on his own, so of course she would be extremely careful.
Kong Zhao said seriously:
"Child, since you have chosen Chang Heng as your husband, you will be one of our family members from now on. If you encounter any trouble and need help, feel free to come to Master."
Yun Qingqing felt a little warm in her heart and responded with a smile:
"Thank you very much, Master."
After talking, the two were about to go back, when Kong Zhao suddenly turned around and asked again:
"Eh? I have one more thing to ask... Did you put some kind of restriction on Chang Heng? How come I can't see that he... Well, you two have already..."
Yun Qingqing's mouth twitched, and she immediately understood what the master was asking.
Last time, the old man in the Seven Stars Palace pointed out that Xiao Changheng's primordial energy had not been released, so she placed a ban on him. She didn't expect that she would still be questioned...
