Shi Qinxin glanced at the disciple with keen insight and asked warily, "What do you intend to do to my junior sister?"
The disciple, not expecting to be suspected so easily, hurriedly explained, "No... the Beast Taming Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect are on good terms, how could I possibly do anything to this junior sister... I just wanted her to go and get the spirit fruit..."
Qin Xin and Long Aotian didn't believe him at all. This disciple was obviously incapable of lying, and his guilty conscience was written all over his face.
Just as the situation was at a standstill, a distinguished-looking man entered through the door.
"I have something to say to her," said Zhou Han, who had contracted with the fire phoenix. He told his disciple, who had been exposed, "You may leave now."
Tianning didn't expect it to be Zhou Han. Could it be that Zhou Han's Fire Phoenix sensed Qiuqiu?
However, Zhou Han was not followed by any proud rooster. Instead, Shi Qinxin and Long Aotian's expressions became somewhat subtle at the same time.
"What do you want with my junior sister? You two don't even know each other." Shi Qinxin was wary of Zhou Han as if she were protecting her own child.
Zhou Han ignored the two of them and spoke directly to Tian Ning: "I know you are a newly accepted disciple of the Sword Guardian Mountain. But as far as I know, Immortal Venerable Jing Shu is still unconscious. A disciple who has not been recognized by his master cannot be considered a member of the Sword Guardian Mountain at all."
"Since you're not a member of the Sword Guardian Mountain, I'll kindly remind you that if you don't want to die, you should leave the Sword Guardian Mountain as soon as possible. Your current position will only attract unnecessary trouble and could get you killed!"
Tianning: "???"
I couldn't understand what this person was saying at all.
If Tianning hadn't been unable to sense any malice from this person, he would have truly felt that Zhou Han was threatening him. However, Zhou Han spoke as if stating a fact, and before leaving, he said to Shi Qinxin one last time, "Shi Qinxin, if you want to restore your Golden Core, come with the disciple who is guiding you tomorrow."
He was like a riddle teller, leaving everyone present bewildered.
But this person left right after speaking, not giving you a chance to ask any questions...
Tian Ning was originally only curious about the fire phoenix, but now that he saw that it seemed to have some connection with the Sword Guardian Mountain, and looking at the expressions of his senior brothers and sisters, what else was there to not understand? But how could Zhou Han, as a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, be involved with the Sword Guardian Mountain?
Shi Qinxin sent Xiao Roushu, Long Kangnian, and Zhizi away, telling the three of them to go back and rest.
"Junior Sister, this matter has nothing to do with you," Shi Qinxin said frankly.
Tianning nodded. She wouldn't misunderstand anything. There was no need to hide anything; everyone could just talk things out.
After all, she was already used to the fact that her senior brothers and sisters had a lot of stories behind them, and if they were put into a storybook, each of them would definitely be the protagonist.
Long Aotian began to recount Zhou Han's connection with the Sword Guardian Mountain: "Zhou Han has a younger sister named Zhou Mengya, who was the fifth junior sister who betrayed the sect five years ago and fell into demonic cultivation."
"Junior Sister, you may not know this, but when the Demon Realm invaded the Eastern Continent, Zhou's parents were the first to rush to the front lines and lead the fight against the demonic cultivators. They took the safety of the world as their own responsibility, slaying the invading demons and saving the lives of the common people. In the end, however, they died on the battlefield against the demonic cultivators, leaving behind only their two children, Zhou Han and Zhou Mengya."
Tian Ning was somewhat surprised: "A girl whose parents sacrificed themselves for the common people, actually fell into demonic cultivation?"
Shi Qinxin seemed to recall something and also found it unbelievable: "The Zhou family parents were such proud and upright people. Their children should all be like Zhou Han. No one expected that they would produce a scoundrel like Zhou Mengya!"
Long Aotian continued, "Zhou Mengya fell in love with Master at first sight and used every means to get into the Sword Protection Mountain. She even used her parents' connections to get the six sect leaders to intervene and force Master to accept her as a disciple, making her our... junior sister at the time."
"She had an unusual obsession with being the junior sister," Long Aotian tried hard to recall the past: "She always said that since she was the youngest, we senior brothers and sisters should pamper her and always think of her when there was something good..."
"She even interferes with when we give things to other junior brothers and sisters in the sect, saying that we and she are the same master, and we shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders. But those are my things, I can give them to whomever I want! Why should I give them to her for no reason?" Long Aotian still feels speechless when he thinks about it now.
