Although the afternoon sky was not snowy, it was dimly lit and the wind was cold.

There is no stove in the courtyard, and the two of them feel cold and swishing after staying for a long time, but fortunately they are both monks, and they only need to mobilize their spiritual power to protect their bodies.

Nan Shan Xiao was silent for a long time before she looked up at the gloomy sky, and deliberately extended her spiritual sense to probe the surrounding movements, and made sure that there was nothing unusual before she said slowly, "I do know about Lan Ying's anger and leaving home back then, after all, everyone knows about it, and she also talked to me about it." At that time, Changfang bullied the four rooms with few people, and they were lonely, so they were deprived of the quota to participate in the Dongzhou Immortal Competition, Lan Ying ran to argue with the long room because of this matter, Xie Zhongshu, who was still the eldest son of the long room, was also young and vigorous, and refused to compromise and give in, and did not hide his dissatisfaction and contempt for the four rooms for no contribution, which provoked Lan Ying to propose to compete with the disciples of the long room on the spot, in order to prove that the strength of the four rooms is not the weakest. ”

Xie Qingning listened very seriously, but when he heard the words, he secretly shook his head.

She knew in her heart that the disciples of all the immortal cultivation families were eager to participate in the Immortal Contest held every sixty years in various continents, after all, this was not only a grand competition to make a name for themselves and shine on the lintel, but also to allow the participating disciples to get more resources to tilt, after all, it represented the entire family to fight, and the clan would have additional resources such as elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, and secret books, so that they could soar to the sky.

For example, Xie Fu will also strictly select the disciples who participate in the competition, and will first carry out the selection and elimination internally, and the selected disciples will not only have special guidance, but will also open the treasure pavilion in the clan for them to study, and will also distribute some cultivation resources that the disciples usually can't see, such as pills and magic weapons below the third grade, and even more, they will also give some cultivation cheats or mental methods for their physique.

Xie Qingning, who has experienced two lifetimes, naturally knows why the various immortal cultivation families attach so much importance to the Immortal Competition, not only because of how many places each family has won in the top 100 in the competition, but also because it will affect their reputation and fame in various continents, attracting more intermediate casual cultivators to take refuge and dependence, increasing the strength of the family, and attracting the attention and attention of the royal family of the Midnight Clan in Kyoto City.

Of course, the monks are not only concerned about the honor of their families, they are more concerned about the valuable experience gained from being able to communicate with others and practice in competitions, which is more practical and reliable than how many famous teachers impart theoretical knowledge. Often, many monks have been stagnant in a certain class for too long, but they will have an inexplicable breakthrough because of the fierce battle with their opponents, which is comparable to taking countless elixirs.

Xie Qingning can understand her mother's mood of safeguarding the interests of the fourth room, but she can't understand why she has to force her head! After all, she is only a woman, in a family like the Xie family, where male superiority and female inferiority are very obvious, no matter how strong a woman is, it is impossible for a woman to preside over affairs, let alone serve as the head of the family, which is also the main reason why she was opposed by almost the whole clan before she became the head of the family.

However, Xie Qingning did underestimate Xie Lanying's chivalrous heart, she not only stood out for the fourth room, but even relied on her high talent and good roots, defeated more than 30 outstanding peers in the long room to prove herself, and as a result, the long room was humiliated, not to mention, but also really violated the bottom limit of the current head of the family, Xie Mingfei, and forced the fourth room to forcibly detain Xie Lanying in a strong way, and was not allowed to go out.

"Even if my mother was confined to the house at the time, she wouldn't have left the house in anger, right?" Xie Qingning was not surprised by Xie Mingfei's actions, even if Xie Lanying was adopted by him when she was six years old, saying that she was personally taught, it was better to suppress it secretly, so as to prevent her from being too popular and surpassing her own grandchildren in the same vein as a long house, so how could he save face, and how could he justifiably pass on the position of head of the family to his biological son in the future?

This is the encounter in this life that Xie Qingning finally came to the conclusion after seeing Xie Mingfei clearly, she was also robbed at the age of six, but she is now much more comfortable and comfortable than Xie Lanying back then. Thinking of this, she felt a little sad for her mother, and even more dissatisfied with the fact that their mother and daughter were reborn in such a cold-blooded and ruthless family.

"Indeed, if it's just grounding, it really won't force Lan Ying away," Nan Shan Xiao's expression when she told her was quite calm, but she explained with a little anger at the moment, "If it weren't for the resentment of your current fourth uncle Xie Zhonghuai at that time, she had to stand up for Lan Ying, and was seriously injured by the disciples of the long room, she would indeed not leave home in anger and not return for a hundred years." ”

"Fourth uncle?" Xie Qingning was stunned for a moment, feeling incredible.

"Yes, although Xie Zhonghuai is not talented, and his roots are not superior, but he is an extremely protective character, he and Lan Ying are not the same mother, but he admires her chivalrous demeanor that dares to do things, and has been very close to her since she was a child. At that time, Xie Zhongshu couldn't bear it anymore and injured Xie Zhonghuai, Lan Ying heard about it and forcibly went out of the house to fight with Xie Zhongshu, but accidentally injured the bride Qin Xue, who was not pregnant at the time, causing her to have an inexplicable miscarriage and hurt her body. In order to protect Xie Zhonghuai, Lan Ying took the initiative to bear all the responsibilities, and only after accepting the family law did she leave home angrily and did not return for a hundred years. ”

Xie Qingning was silent, no wonder Qin Xue was so hostile to herself, it turned out that her mother had caused her to have an unexpected miscarriage, no wonder she wanted to expel her despite her young age, it seemed that the complexity of the matter was still beyond her imagination.

However, she didn't expect Xie Zhonghuai to have such a close relationship with his mother, so why did he ignore him all these years? Could it be that he broke his brain after that war?

"As for the magic weapon you mentioned, I've seen it with my own eyes," Nanshan Xiao said as he glanced at a hairpin inserted between Xie Qingning's left hair, "It's indeed very similar to what you are wearing, but unfortunately I can tell at a glance that it is just a fake." ”

"Oh? Why? Xie Qingning raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with interest.

"Because your mother's hairpin is actually not surprising, the strange gem in the hairpin, there is a hidden one in it-fire spirit!"

"What?" Hearing this answer, Xie Qingning was shocked, her phoenix eyes widened, and she looked at Nanshan Xiao in disbelief.

After the other party nodded slowly and admitted the matter, Xie Qingning did not speak for a long time.

What is Fire Spirit? It's a rare thing in the world. Xie Qingning had heard of the origin of the fire spirit when he lived in Shengjing, and those noble children had secretly rumored that the fire spirit must come from the depths of the flame that has not faded for thousands of years, and it must also be the natural product of the self-generated spiritual consciousness, and it is impossible for anyone to participate in or manufacture it, and even the Ye Clan royal family has invested countless resources in order to create the conditions for the generation of the fire spirit, but it only has one fire spirit.

Could it be that the fire spirit in my mother's hand was the one that the Ye Clan's royal family had spent hundreds of years and worked hard to get?
