Chapter 552: Asking for a Letter of Resignation (Part II)
Although the journey back to the Xiaoyao Cultivation Realm is far away, fortunately, there are teleportation arrays between all walks of life, from the Heavenly Crossing Realm to the Bodhi Cultivation Realm and then to the Xiaoyao Cultivation Realm, Hong Ningxiang originally planned to go back in only three days, but unexpectedly, Xinning has lived in the Lianyue Ancient Realm for ten years, and has never been to the outside world to play, it is like a bird out of the cage to see anything, not pestering her mother and Brother Liuli to take her to play in the town market along the road, and even she bought a bunch of gifts for Shi Ming and her future sister-in-law, and when she bought gifts, she bought colorful rune paper for herself, and she wanted to eat sugar gourds for a while, and when she saw the beautiful skirt in the shop, she pestered her mother to buy it for herγ
As a result, the three-day journey dragged on to six days.
On the sixth day of the ninth month, three days before Shi Ming's wedding, Hong Ningxiang did not directly return to Xianjia Island, where the Daojing faction was located, but took Liuli and Xinning back to Qingqiongmen first.
Qingqiongmen is still the same as it was back then, with three peaks and nine palaces, peaks and peaks, beautiful and picturesque, the only change is that the number of disciples in the door has surged three times.
Back then, he was in Qingqiongmen because of stealing the Burning Moon Ancient Sword to raise demons, and Qingqiongmen was almost destroyed, but now that decades have passed, I am afraid that few people remember the scourge "Tian Xiang'er".
Hong Ning Xiang collected the cultivation, let the glass also collect the cultivation, put the heart Ning into the ring space, and handed the worship sticker at the mountain gate, after the mountain guard disciple knew that she was the true disciple of the head of the Rongyue Fairy who had been lost for many years, he immediately respectfully let him go, and at the same time sent another mountain guard disciple to send Hong Ningxiang's mother and son to Baiqiong Peak through the ladder.
Xuanyue Palace is the cave house of Rongyue, after Hong Ningxiang arrived outside Xuanyue Palace, he released Xinning and took Liuli and Xinning into the palace, but unexpectedly learned from the mouth of a Dharma protector that Rongyue was in a council with two elders, and the mother and son had to wait. About an hour later, Rong Yue got the news from the Dharma Protector disciple before returning to the main hall.
"Master!" Hong Ningxiang took the lead in kneeling down in the main hall, and took Liuli and Xinning to kowtow to Rongyue together.
"Hurry up!" Rong Yue couldn't help but be overjoyed, when she entered the hall, she saw Hong Ningxiang's hair turned white, and naturally thought of the past between this fool and Liu Qingming, not busy reminiscing about the past, she grabbed Liuli and Xinning's hands one by one, and led the three of them to the fairy garden behind, "Follow me to the back to drink tea." β
The master and apprentice exchanged a few words, Hong Ningxiang asked Liuli to take out a thin gift prepared, and after Rongyue asked the disciples to accept it, he carefully looked at Chongliuli.
This kid is wearing a moon-white robe, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his waist, his eyes are like a cold pool, and his body is extraordinary, and when he sees his face, he will think of the demon king of the mixed world, but he is obviously a father and son, and his blood is connected, and Chongliuli does not have the evil spirit of his father at all, and he looks elegant and cold. Knowing that Liuli was already a powerful monk in the god transformation stage, her cultivation realm was higher than her, and she was honored to melt the moon, she knew that she did not believe in her own apprentice, and Xiang'er did not live up to her expectations, and successfully reborn Liuli.
Look at the little fat girl who is eating snacks next to her, although she doesn't look like Liu Qingming, she knows that this little girl is also Liu Qingming's daughter, Rongyue is afraid that her own apprentice will be embarrassed, so she didn't mention Liu Qingming directly in front of the two children, but said to Liuli, "There are a few new ornamental fish in the lotus pond outside, you can take your sister to take a look." β
Seeing that the master had separated Liuli and Xinning, Hong Ningxiang didn't know how to ask Liu Qingming's whereabouts, Rongyue had a knowing expression, "I know all about your search for the holy spring in the demon world back then. β
"Master, did Ah Ming come to you?"
"Hmm. Rong Yue nodded, "Three years ago, he sneaked into my cave mansion and failed to resurrect him in the Demon Realm, and later turned into Yang Jingfei and you to find the Holy Spring, and he also asked me about your whereabouts." β
Hong Ningxiang lowered her head, Rong Yue couldn't bear to scold her when she saw her white hair, and sighed, "He worked so hard to find you, why didn't you see him? Don't you miss him at all? And you gave him a daughter, and didn't let him see her daughter, are you reallyβare you hiding from him, or are you hiding from the ninth master?"
"Master, I have escaped into Buddhism, and now whether it is him or the Ninth Master, I don't want to provoke him anymore. Hong Ningxiang said calmly, "I came back this time to make it clear to the Ninth Master." If I could see Ah Ming, I would also tell him my decision. β
"I'm afraid it's not that easy. Rongyue thought of something and said, "A few days ago, Shi Ming came to me and borrowed the Burning Moon Ancient Sword from me. I asked him what he was going to do, and he said, you haven't been able to escape from the world for ten years, Jiu Ye has found a lot of places, and Shi Ming has also found all the people who are familiar with you, except for Liuli, only the sword spirit Xiaoyue has lost his news. Shi Ming thought that you might have taken Satsuki and Ruri to live in seclusion together, so he used the Burning Moon Ancient Sword to contact Satsuki. If Shi Ming hadn't found you in this way, would you plan to hide from the world for the rest of your life?"
Hong Ningxiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Master, it's been ten years, even if Ming'er doesn't look for me, I will come back, after all, I still have to take Xinning to the Demon Realm to complete an agreement." β
Rongyue thought of what Liu Qingming told her, and nodded, "It's time for you to let Xinning meet his father." The last time Ah Ming left, he asked me to bring a message, saying that he knew the agreement between you and the Holy Maiden Hua Ying, and he would wait for you at the Nuwa Temple. Now that you have his child, how can you break off with him? This time Shi Ming's wedding, the Ninth Master will definitely be present, what should you and him do in the future?"
Hong Ningxiang exhaled lightly, "I will take Xinning to see Ah Ming, but before that, I will make a formal peace with the Ninth Master." β
After dinner and saying goodbye to Rongyue, Hong Ningxiang took Liuli and Xinning to Xianjia Island in the Dongyao Sea.
Shi Ming is about to take over as the third generation of the head, and she must live in Tianzhao Peak, so she took out the jade seal that symbolizes the head of the house, crossed the mountain gate, climbed the cloud ladder, and went straight to the immortal mansion of the main peak.
It didn't take long for Wufeng to spread a news all over the world, only to hear that the second generation of the head of the Daojing Zhenren, whose name was unknown, had disappeared for more than twenty years and finally returned to the master's door, and the demeanor and elegance of the Daojing Zhenren were no longer comparable to the Yuanying Monks, I am afraid that it was already a great power in the Transformation Period. Tens of thousands of disciples were eagerly awaiting the opening ceremony in two days, and everyone was looking forward to meeting this female head who participated in the founding of the Daojing Sect.
The immortal mansion where the head of the sect lives is called Haotian Immortal Mansion, after Hong Ningxiang saw Shi Ming, he didn't care about catching up with him, and immediately made it clear to him that except for the day of the opening ceremony, she would appear to hand over the jade seal of the head to him, and she didn't see anyone the rest of the time without her permission.
In order to avoid Xinning's appearance from being discussed by everyone, Hong Ningxiang hid Xinning in the ring space, and only after entering Shi Ming's room did he release Xinning.
After running around for several days in a row, Hong Ningxiang briefly greeted Shi Ming and told Liuli to take care of Xinning, so she found a room and slept first.
Unexpectedly, it was morning when he woke up again, and Hong Ningxiang was woken up by Xinning's crying.
"Mother, mother! Brother Liuli and Brother Stone fought. β
Hong Ningxiang rushed out of the room and saw Shi Ming and Chong Liuli turning into two blue lights, fighting in the sky above the five peaks, attracting countless disciples to watch.
But Shi Ming is only cultivated in the late stage of the Yuan Infant, but Chongliuli is cultivated in the late stage of the gods, it can be said that if Chongliuli does not let Shi Ming, Shi Ming is not qualified to fight with Chongliuli.
It seems that Liuli deliberately wants to try Shi Ming's skills, and deliberately deals with Shi Ming.
Seeing that the two of them were about to destroy a secondary peak in front of them, Hong Ningxiang sent Xinning back to the ring space and rushed over with a white light.
Under her strong resistance, Shi Ming finally took back the Haohua Sword in his hand with a breath, he stood on the edge of the cliff of the main peak with his hand, spit out a mouthful of blood, and pointed to the heavy glass flying from the sword in the distance and said, "Let's fight again tomorrow!"
Chong Liuli sneered: "You are not my opponent now, I don't fight with you, it's boring." β
After speaking, he didn't look at Shi Ming, turned into a blue light, and flew to Liuguang Peak.
He hadn't seen his two masters, Yan Beichou and Wu Siyu, for many years, and he didn't know what their situation was now, so he naturally wanted to visit him when he came back this time.
Seeing Chongliuli fly away, Hong Ningxiang walked up to Shi Ming and glanced at him: "Good and dignified, why did you fight?"
When they met last night, Shi Ming also received the three of them politely.
In the Haotian Immortal Mansion, Shi Ming, as the successor head, was inconvenient in front of some deacon disciples, and at this time, seeing that his mother was still ignorant, he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and said: "Mother, it's been ten years, it's been ten years, why don't you see us?" Liuli said that he took you to live in seclusion back then, so I can't blame you, but I know that if it weren't for my mother's iron heart not seeing us, how would Liuli influence my mother's decision." β
Hong Ningxiang reached out and held his forehead.
This is a cliffside of Amaterasu Peak, and the cold wind blows in your face, blowing a faint pain in your forehead.
She thought about where to start talking about what happened in the Demon Realm Holy Land Meihai back then, but she found that she couldn't open her mouth at all.
Those past events are like scars, growing on her heart piece by piece, and it took her ten years to gradually suppress the emotional wounds of the year, where can she still have the courage to touch them again.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Shi Ming saw Hong Ningxiang's face turn pale for a while, regretting that he was speaking too straight, and immediately held Hong Ningxiang up, "Mother, let's go back first." β
Hong Ningxiang nodded, looking at Shi Ming's face that looked like Shi Dingfeng, she gritted her teeth and asked, "What about your father?" If you have a lot of questions, you can ask your father. β
"Ten years ago, after Daddy fell into the demon because of you, he jumped into the Holy Spring Pool with you, and was seriously injured, and his cultivation regressed to the Yuan Infant Stage. Later, Wu Xing took his father to the Tiannan Spirit Realm. A few days ago, I received a message from Wu Xing, saying that my father would rush back before my wedding. β
After Shi Ming finished speaking, he took his mother back to Haotian Immortal Mansion.
Hong Ningxiang didn't want to talk to anyone about the year at the moment, so she released Xinning and let Shi Ming take her to play, while she continued to sleep behind closed doors.
Shi Ming took Xinning to the Jade Pond Immortal Garden behind the Immortal Mansion, Xinning had already been flustered in the space of his mother's ring, and when he saw the beautiful scenery of Amaterasu Peak, he was immediately attracted.
There were three or four children of the same age practicing the flying of the sword by the woods by the edge of the immortal pond, and Xinning got Shi Ming's permission and flew around the Amaterasu Peak with great interest, until those children were called away by a few disciples of the main peak, and she reluctantly said goodbye to them.
From beginning to end, Shi Ming watched Xinning's every move from the side, and seeing that Xinning came back with a lonely face, he stepped forward and took her hand and said, "Ning'er, are you hungry, my brother will take you to eat something." β
Xin Ning followed Shi Ming to a miscellaneous courtyard, Shi Ming instructed the disciples in the stove room to take out some of the snacks that were going to be prepared for the banquet guests the day after tomorrow, Xin Ning ate the sweet osmanthus cake, and forgot the unpleasantness just now.
Shi Ming pulled her to sit at the stone table in the courtyard, and asked with a smile: "Ning'er, don't patronize and eat, tell my brother, where do you live now, is it fun there?"
Xinning's eyes rolled, "I won't tell you." β
Shi Ming was not in a hurry: "Why?"
Xinning thought of what his eldest brother Liuli had told him, and said vaguely: "...... Hmm, Brother Liuli will be angry. β
Shi Ming hated Chongliuli again, that bastard boy actually let Ning'er hide his mother's whereabouts, he smiled: "Ning'er, did your mother take you out to play on weekdays?"
Xinning's mouth was deflated: "No." β
Shi Ming sighed, touched her head, and decided to change the subject, "Ning'er, then do you know who your father is?"
Xin Ning thought of the question she had been struggling with, and her eyes lit up, "Brother Shi, do you know what my surname is?"
Shi Ming nodded, smiling brightly, "Not only do I know what his surname is, but I also know a lot about him." As long as you tell me where you live, I'll tell you about your father, how about it?"
"That-" Xinning bit her finger, "don't tell Brother Liuli." β
"Well, I'll keep it a secret. β
"Brother Shi, my mother and I also have Brother Liuli, the place where we live, there are many monks, and there are also a lot of lotus flowers, hmm-what is it called Lotus Moon Ancient Realm? Also, when my mother took me through the teleportation array, I saw a boundary monument that said 'Crossing the Heaven Realm'. That's all I know. After Xinning finished speaking, he shook Shi Ming's hand vigorously, "Brother Shi, it's your place, hurry up and tell me about my father!What is my father's name, is he very powerful, is he very handsome?"
"Uh-"
Shi Ming was in trouble.
In the face of this half-sister, if he said that his father Liu Qingming was a demon king who did all kinds of evil, and he had bullied her mother before, I am afraid that he would frighten his sister, right?
He couldn't say bad things about Liu Qingming, but he couldn't say good things about Liu Qingming against his will.
After thinking about it, Shi Ming had no choice but to say, "Your father's surname is Liu, his name is Liu Qingming, and he is a very beautiful man. β
Xinning's eyes smiled like the moon, "It turns out that his surname is Liu! But why did Aunt Yue say that his surname is Yang?"
"Because your father, in order to be worthy of your mother and to please your mother's liking, he turned himself into another person and changed his surname to Yang Jingfei. β
The brother and sister chatted for an afternoon, and Xinning had already inquired about her father's situation, so that night, when she was sleeping next to her mother, she asked: "Mother, when will I see my father?" Brother Shi said that he is very beautiful, I miss my father, I want to see him. β
Hong Ningxiang's head hurt even more, and he said softly, "When we go to the Nuwa Temple, you will be able to see him." β
This night, Xinning slept very steadily, but Hong Ningxiang had insomnia.
