Chapter 17 Not for Immortality...
Li Mingqiong's narration was very detailed, even with detailed descriptions, which also included a lot of information about Pei Qingshu.
However, we still have to listen to what Pei Qingshu said.
The overall context of the matter is similar, but the details are different from Pei Qingshu's perspective.
He was born into one of the top aristocratic families in the world. The head of this generation is his father, and he is the eldest son of the direct line. He has been studying and practicing martial arts since he was a child and has no intention of participating in fighting.
As for the exploration of the ancient secret realm, it has nothing to do with him, a child who has not even entered the innate realm.
The reason why he was asked to come forward to do the thankless task of inviting Li Mingcheng was purely bad luck.
Because among the several major families participating in the exploration, he was the only teenage boy.
Other families were either already in their thirties or forties and were not suitable to invite a teenage prince, or they were stronger than the Pei family, so the Pei family had no choice but to be unwilling.
Pei Qingshu was thus confusedly blamed, and was deliberately targeted afterwards.
Not only were his status, martial arts, and legs destroyed, but his father also began to distance himself from him in order to preserve the family, which was seriously injured.
Even some of his collateral descendants who used to only nod and bow to him began to secretly sneer at him, and some even spread rumors that he was the one who harmed the Pei family. It
was simply a curse!
Li Mingqiong was stunned as she listened to the side.
She always believed that Pei Qingshu was one of the biggest accomplices, but she didn't expect the truth to be like this.
As for whether Pei Qingshu was lying, it was not within her consideration.
The Immortal Venerable dared to lie to her face?
He simply didn't know how to write the word death!
Now Li Mingqiong finally figured it out. Although it was Pei Qingshu who invited her brother away, Pei Qingshu himself was actually not at fault. It
was a completely unprovoked disaster.
This made her a little embarrassed.
In her opinion, the reason why Pei Qingshu had such a miserable experience before was mostly because of her pleading.
Cui Heng noticed the change in Li Mingqiong's expression and saw what the little girl was thinking. He smiled and shook his head, but did not speak.
Judging from the situation described by Li Mingqiong and Pei Qingshu, the contradiction between the aristocratic families under the Immortal Gate and the royal family is extremely large.
Even without Li Mingqiong's instigation, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty would sooner or later take action against the aristocratic families if he had an absolute advantage.
At that time, the first person to be operated on would most likely be Pei Qingshu, who made him take on the most difficult task.
However, such an analysis of the situation was just a simple spiritual pastime for Cui Heng. What really concerned him was the so-called "innate realm".
What is the innate realm?
The realm of martial arts?
What is the difference between it and the realm of gods and human immortals mentioned by Li Mingqiong before?
He was very curious.
But it was not easy to ask directly.
This made Cui Heng miss Hong Fugui and Jiang Qiqi again. Those two children were easy to coax.
"I misunderstood you before, and I apologize to you here." Li Mingqiong actually took the initiative to apologize to Pei Qingshu and promised to make compensation in the future. He was not as hot-tempered as before.
"..." Pei Qingshu was silent for a while, but still nodded, "It's good that the princess understands this."
He was still angry.
This is also normal.
"If there are still any grudges and conflicts, you can deal with them after leaving here." Cui Heng raised his eyes lightly, glanced at the two of them, and smiled, "You are a guest from afar, come and have a meal with me."
This set the tone for the next ten days of getting along.
Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly thanked him and sat down.
There was only the dish Cui Heng had cooked on the table, and he didn't know how to start.
At this moment, a golden light lit up in front of the table, and a yellow-turbaned warrior over three meters tall appeared out of thin air .
It saluted respectfully to Cui Heng, "Greetings to the Immortal Lord."
Then, it stood up and waved its hand, and a table of delicious food was placed in front of Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong.
Then it turned into a golden light and disappeared directly.
Such a situation made the two children stunned, their faces were full of disbelief, and their minds were completely confused.
They had never seen such a magical scene.
What was that just now? !
Appearing out of thin air and disappearing out of thin air, even those immortal gate masters probably don't have such a skill.
But it seems that the big man just now seems to be just a servant of the Immortal Lord?
Does this mean that beings more powerful than the Immortal Gate Mighty Ones are only worthy of being servants of the Immortal Lord?
And those Immortal Gate Mighty Ones don't even have the qualifications to be servants of the Immortal Lord!
Thinking of this, Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong were extremely shocked by their own thoughts.
They looked at Cui Heng with even more admiration.
The Immortal Lord is indeed an ancient being who has survived from the mythical era to the present day. It is such a great fate that they can meet such a great man!
For a moment, different thoughts emerged in both of their hearts.
Encountering such a rare immortal fate, is it just to talk and eat?
But Cui Heng didn't speak, and they didn't dare to say anything.
They had to sit upright and eat obediently, not even daring to drop rice grains on the table.
And they didn't dare to touch Cui Heng's plate of food.
After eating.
Cui Heng suddenly smiled and said, "I have been living in seclusion for a long time and have not been in the secular world. I don't know what the Great Zhou is, nor do I know what the Immortal Gate family is. I still want to thank the two children for telling me about the outside world."
After hearing Cui Heng's words, Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong's first reaction was that the Immortal Venerable was indeed an ancient and extremely powerful person.
Not only did he not know about the Great Zhou, he didn't even know about the Immortal Gate!
Those sects that control the way of immortal martial arts have already regarded themselves as immortal sects in ancient times.
The second reaction was that the two of them immediately stood up and wanted to say no.
How dare the immortal master praise them!
But Cui Heng's next words made them overjoyed.
It felt like a huge piece of pie fell from the sky and fell into their mouths.
"You told me about the situation outside and chatted with me to relieve my boredom. Logically, I should give you some gifts."
Cui Heng smiled and said, "But I am alone and don't have any treasures. Why don't you tell me what gifts you want, and don't say you don't deserve it."
Plop!
As soon as the voice fell, Li Mingqiong knelt on the ground.
"The martial arts of immortals are controlled by the immortal sect. There is a path to immortality ahead, but the world cannot enter. I beg the Immortal Lord to teach me the method of becoming an immortal!" Princess Yong'an bowed to Cui Heng with great respect.
Pei Qingshu on the side was stunned. He did not expect the other party to be so fast.
He had not even thought about what to say yet.
She had already finished speaking!
Cui Heng's mouth slightly raised when he heard this, but he did not agree immediately, but asked: "Why do you want to become an immortal?"
"Only by becoming an immortal can you live forever!" Li Mingqiong's eyes were firm, and he said, "I heard from my father that if a member of the royal family dies, the corresponding soul lamp in the palace will be extinguished. Although my brother has disappeared, his soul lamp is not extinguished, and he is still alive! "
I don't know where he was sent by the Gate of Ancient Ruins, but I will wait for him! I want to learn the immortal method, not to become an immortal, but to wait for him to come back in this world!"
"..." This time it was Cui Heng who was silent.
Good fellow!
This little girl might have the potential to be an emperor.
However, he had not forgotten his purpose. He calmed down and said with a smile: "It is okay to learn the immortal method, but the world is like the past, and I have been separated from the world for a long time. The method I practiced is no longer the same as it is now, and may not be suitable for you."
"I will tell you what I have learned about the martial arts now!" Li Mingqiong said without hesitation, as if he had already thought of a solution.
"In this way..." Cui Heng nodded lightly and smiled, "Also."
