Chapter 142: The Fourth True Teaching
The Second Elder had no idea what Nan Wang had experienced in the Demon Sect. When he heard this, he was so confused that he was speechless.
Nan Wang briefly summarized the process of how he acquired the divine eye, as well as Tong Yan, who was an extremely special existence to Ye Kuan, Long Wang, and even the entire dragon clan.
A hybrid of a dragon and a cicada, and the child of the current Dragon Lord Long Ye, he miraculously came back to life after Long Wang left.
If the misunderstanding between the two parties can be resolved, Tong Yan should be able to become a helpful force for Qingyun Sect.
"Actually, this happened..."
The second elder was shocked when he learned the truth.
After the shock, a hint of doubt appeared on his face.
It's not that he didn't believe Nanwang's words, but there was something in Nanwang's explanation that didn't make sense no matter how he looked at it.
Chu Songping spoke before the second elder and asked, "You mean you only gained the Sky-Seeing Eye after entering the Fairy Fox Secret Realm? Are you sure?"
Nan Wang said firmly, "I am sure, certain and certain."
Chu Songping frowned when he heard this.
His eyes met with those of other disciples in the air, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
The other true disciples had different expressions, but none of them showed any intention of speaking.
Zhan Chenming had even secretly hidden behind the spiritual branch.
Helplessly, Chu Songping could only continue speaking:
"Before the Immortal Fox Secret Realm, we had already guessed that you were the missing fourth true disciple. After all... you have been saving my life... and the lives of others by predicting the future."
"Second Brother, what are you talking about? I want to save you? I don't have the ability to do that. It's better for you to save me."
Nan Wang was extremely confused. He did not understand a single word Chu Songping said:
"What do you mean by predicting the future? When have I ever predicted the future? I am confused. How can you honestly say that I can predict the future? Fifth Junior Sister also said the same thing about me before. Fifth Junior Sister, please explain it to me."
Lingzhi, who was inexplicably implicated, hesitated for a while and said, "I, I can't explain it either. Let's let Senior Sister speak."
Du Xueling's eyes drifted away, and she continued to talk: "...All the causes and consequences started with Senior Brother, so let Senior Brother tell the story."
Zhan Chenming glanced at Du Xueling secretly, and when the two looked into each other's eyes, everything was said without words.
When you don’t need it, you call me Fellow Daoist; when you need it, you call me Senior Brother.
This is exactly what their Qingyun Sect has inherited - to treat people differently according to their situation.
Zhu Tianque didn't have that many twists and turns, and so much time had passed, he had already let go of what happened back then.
So, he spoke frankly: "Fourth Junior Brother, I have to thank you for exposing the identity of that evil woman in public and saving me from danger. If that evil woman had been allowed to enter Qingyun Sect, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Chu Songping followed closely behind, and said with a hint of arrogance: "The evil woman is good at seducing people, and her methods are endless. Although I have long discovered that Qingya's identity is different, I was in the middle of the situation and was still deceived... In short, thank you for not standing idly by and doing me a favor."
Nanwang: “?”
Nanwang: "I will expose this evil woman in public?"
Nanwang: "I am a bystander and I have a clear view. Do I have a favor to Second Senior Brother?"
Nan Wang showed an incredible expression on his face: "No, what are you talking about? When did I ever do these things? Why don't you say that it was my credit that Senior Sister attained enlightenment in the Qi Sect?"
Du Xueling: “…”
Yes.
It is really Nanwang’s credit.
But I don’t know how to say it.
Judging from the look of it, Nan Wang might not even know that his inner voice can be heard by others.
Ling Zhiyan ran to Nan Wang's side, hugged Nan Wang's thighs, and said happily: "Brother, you risked your life to come to the secret realm to save me. I will never forget your kindness in my life!"
Humph, she is different from other senior brothers and sisters. Her senior brother really saved her life!
Nanwang lifted Lingzhi's collar with a complicated look, put her aside, and said earnestly:
"Fifth Junior Sister, think carefully about it. It was your eldest senior sister who found your consciousness through the soul lamp in the Immortal Fox Secret Realm, and it was your third senior brother who rescued you from the formation at the risk of his life. Although I wanted to go down and save you myself, I was unable to do so. In the end, I did almost nothing. You should thank your eldest senior sister and third senior brother more than you thank me."
Spiritual branch: “…”
Damn it, I failed to get through it.
After educating Lingzhi, Nanwang looked at the other people.
Everyone had a strange look on their face and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Nan Wang turned his head and looked at Zhan Chenming, who had been silent but drinking non-stop: "Third Brother, it seems that you are the only one who understands. Please say something fair."
Zhan Chenming put down the wine pot with a sad face, knowing that he would have to deal with this evil person himself.
He considered and said, "Back then I was planning to go to the Fairy Fox Secret Realm, but then I suddenly decided not to go. Do you know why?"
Nan Wang was stunned: "Third Brother, have you lost your memory? We went to the Fairy Fox Secret Realm together and rescued Fifth Sister together!"
Zhan Chenming: "..."
Zhan Chenming: "I mean, before that, it was me who was supposed to conquer the Fairy Fox Secret Realm, not Fifth Junior Sister. Fifth Junior Sister went in my place."
After hearing this, Nan Wang suddenly remembered: "Yes, that's what happened."
"At that time, actually..."
Zhan Chenming hesitated whether to continue speaking, but he felt the urging hidden in the fiery gazes of the other true disciples. Helplessly, he could only bite the bullet and speak:
"At that time, you told me that I would die in the Fairy Fox Secret Realm, so I temporarily canceled my plan to go to the Fairy Fox Secret Realm."
"What? I said that?" Nan Wang was shocked. "How is that possible? When did I ever say that? And I was just a small outer sect disciple at that time. Brother, do you believe what I said?"
"I believe it." Zhan Chenming smiled and glanced at Nan Wang, his eyes full of ease and teasing: "After all... you can tell at a glance that you are a fourth true disciple and can predict the future."
Nanwang: “???”
No, why are you going back to the same place again?
Didn’t he say that he was not the fourth true disciple?
What the hell is wrong with these people? They don't even explain it one by one. Why are they just playing dumb?
"Fourth Junior Brother, you really didn't say anything..."
At the critical moment, Du Xueling bravely stepped forward and explained with difficulty:
"We all know that predicting the future comes at a huge cost, so we thought you didn't speak up because you wanted to reduce the cost..."
The more Nan Wang listened, the more confused he became: "If I don't say anything, how can I pass the news to you?"
Du Xueling said: "Although you didn't say it out loud, you were thinking about it in your heart."
Nanwang: “?”
Du Xueling took a deep breath and revealed the secret that was known to all the disciples and elders of Qingyun Sect, except Nanwang himself:
"If we can hear what you are thinking, this should be called... the voice of your heart?"
Nanwang: “!!??”
Ah? What's in your heart?
Can his voice be heard?
When Nan Wang learned about this for the first time, he felt terrible.
If you put it that way, he seemed to understand a little.
He had indeed complained in his heart about his simple-minded senior brother being seduced by a demon girl; he had suggested to his senior sister that she should let go of her feelings of helping others and respect the fate of others; he had sympathized with Chu Qingya who had long passed away; he had also worried about his third senior brother who was about to go to the Fairy Fox Secret Realm to die...
Nan Wang looked at the true disciples with indescribable expressions, and his face turned red like a cooked shrimp.
He looked down at the spiritual branch that was left aside, and asked shamefully, "Fifth Junior Sister, can you hear what I am saying in my heart?"
Lingzhi blinked his eyes and said honestly, "Back then, it was you, Senior Brother, who told me that the elders taught me the wrong quenching method. I went back and studied it all night, and then I broke through the bottleneck, challenged the elders in public, and became the true fifth true disciple."
Nanwang: “…”
Destroy it.
