Chapter 6: A Visitor
"Sheng Yingguo, it's really hateful, such a heavenly treasure was actually obtained by Xiang Qing, Yu'er, is this news reliable?", in a hall, a black-robed man asked Liu Yu.
This man had a fierce look on his face, and there was a long scar on his face, this person was Liu Yu's father, Liu Quan, one of the six elders of the Heavenly Saint Sect.
"Dad, this is what Xiang Ye'er told me personally, she said that Xiang Qing went out to look for Shengying fruit before, and when she came back, she also brought back an apprentice", listening to her father Liu Quan's inquiry, Liu Yu replied respectfully.
"The six elders of the Heavenly Saint Sect, Elder Li and Elder Tian have already been bought by Xiang Qing and are loyal to him, and there are two old stubborns who don't care about the world and only care about cultivation, and the rest are me and Elder Cheng, in order to consolidate his position as the head of the sect, Xiang Qing did not hesitate to share the four components of the resources in the sect with them, but he monopolized fifty percent of the resources of the entire sect, and Elder Cheng and I only got less than one percent, if Xiang Qing really got the Saint Ying Fruit and broke through the Hidden Dragon Realm, then our situation may be even more dangerous." Liu Quan said, and his face showed a look of deep worry.
Hearing his father's words, Liu Yu's expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy, I heard my father say that many years ago he had opened sixteen qi mansions, and at that time Xiang Qing only opened fourteen doors, in order to seize the position of the head of the house, he and Xiang Qing fought openly and secretly everywhere, his father was not good at wooing, and only got the support of Elder Cheng alone, and Xiang Qing not only obtained the help of the other four elders, but also won the favor of Fang Yuhan, the daughter of the old master, the old head of the longevity has been exhausted, after returning to the ruins of the world, Xiang Qing took over the position of the head of the house, over the years, Xiang Qing frantically used the resources of the sect to improve his realm, in just over ten years, he opened four more gas mansions, reached the realm of the Hidden Dragon Realm Dacheng, and became the existence of the overlord within a radius of thousands of miles, and his father has been stagnant in the realm of the Sixteen Qi Mansion over the years due to the restriction of cultivation resources by Xiang Qing.
"Dad, there is no endless road in the sky, if this is the case, it is a big deal that we will leave the Heavenly Saint Sect, the world is so big, where can there be no place for us?"
"Hehe, Yu'er, what you think is too simple, for so many years, Xiang Qing has always regarded me as a thorn in the flesh in the eye, how can he easily let us go, I am not afraid of anything, I am afraid of suffering you and your mother, alas, ......", Liu Quan stood in the hall with his hands behind his back and said helplessly, but in an instant, he seemed to think of something again, opened his eyes wide, and asked Liu Yu:
"Yu'er, you said that Xiang Qing came back this time and brought back an apprentice?"
"Yes, Dad, I heard Xiang Ye'er say that Xiang Qing seems to want to send him to Xiao Lao in the Ming Medicine Pavilion, the child really doesn't understand, why should he send the apprentice he accepted to someone else, besides, I heard that Xiao Lao is just a mortal, except for knowing a little mortal medical skills, it doesn't seem to be anything powerful." Speaking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.
"Yu'er, don't talk nonsense, this Xiao Lao once worshiped a master before, at that time, the master was already a strong man in the current Dragon Realm, and it would not take much effort to destroy the entire Heavenly Saint Sect, although Xiao Lao is a mortal, but he has a master with superior strength, as long as his master does not die, even Xiang Qing must be respected, you remember! Liu Quan frowned and scolded his son.
Listening to his father's reprimand, Liu Yu realized that Xiao Lao had such a big background, and a strong man in the current Dragon Realm could destroy the entire Heavenly Saint Sect without much effort, which really scared him into a cold sweat.
"What the father taught is that the child remembers."
"Well, there must be something strange about this matter, Xiang Qing is treacherous and vicious, in addition to his own cultivation, even his own daughter is not very controlled, how can he take out an apprentice for no reason, I have to go to Xiao Lao to check on this matter before making a decision, during this time, in addition to cultivation, try to have more contact with that girl, and see if there can be some other gains, but you must pay attention to that girl Bingxue is smart, don't let her notice anything."
"Well, I know Dad, the child will be more careful."
............
Ming Medicine Pavilion, Qin He has been here for more than half a month, since Xiang Qing left from Ming Medicine Pavilion, Xiao Lao arranged a residence for Qin He, although the residence is very simple, but the things used in daily life are very complete, in the past half a month, Xiao Lao has never said anything about how to refine the body, just let him deal with some miscellaneous things with Xiao Su'er, or let Xiao Su'er teach him to know some herbs, or how to cultivate the knowledge of herbs, and Xiao Lao just sat on the wooden bench to drink tea, bask in the sun, and occasionally come over to ask Qin He how he learned.
At first, Qin He didn't care about it, but now that half a month has passed, Xiao Lao still hasn't said a word about his cultivation, and Qin He can't help but feel a little anxious in his heart. But although Qin He was very anxious, he didn't want to ask Xiao Lao for the reason, maybe Xiao Lao was deliberately testing himself, and Qin He kept comforting himself in his heart.
Unconsciously, a few more days passed, and in the early morning of this day, Qin He was cultivating medicinal herbs with Xiao Su'er, and Xiao Lao suddenly walked up to them and said:
"Susu, Qin He, there is a guest visiting today, but I just have something to go out, if the guest comes, you can help me entertain him."
Listening to Xiao Lao's words, Qin He couldn't help but show a puzzled expression, but Xiao Su'er looked accustomed to it.
"Got it, grandpa," Xiao Su'er said with a smile.
After a while, Xiao Lao left the valley with a medicine basket on his back, and only Qin He and Xiao Su'er were left in the Ming Medicine Pavilion.
"Senior Sister Xiao, Elder Xiao hasn't come out of the valley, how could he know that there are guests visiting today", Qin He asked curiously.
"Actually, I don't know, in short, every time a guest comes to our Ming Yao Pavilion, grandpa can always know in advance, I asked grandpa before, but grandpa always said that he guessed by himself, and over time, I won't ask", Xiao Su'er said, while brushing the hair on the cheek with her hand, the appearance was surprisingly charming.
These days, under the day and night with Xiao Su'er, Qin He found that Xiao Su'er is a very good girl, not only good-looking, but also very good-tempered, he doesn't know a lot of things in cultivating medicinal herbs, Xiao Su'er always patiently teaches himself over and over again, Qin He thought that he must not be rude to Senior Sister Xiao, thinking of this, Xiang Ye'er's appearance appeared in his mind again, Qin He hurriedly shook his head, told himself to stop thinking nonsense, and then planted herbs with Xiao Su'er.
"Senior Brother Qin, it's been a few days since you came to the valley, but grandpa hasn't taught you how to cultivate, just asked you to do some chores in the valley, you must be very anxious in your heart, right?", Xiao Su'er flashed a pair of sly eyes and suddenly said to Qin He.
Looking at Xiao Su'er's appearance, Qin He's heart was suddenly shocked, this Senior Sister Xiao was really smart and could see through her own thoughts.
"Senior Sister Xiao laughed, Qin He didn't feel anxious in his heart, Xiao Lao asked me to do these things, there must be his old man's reason", Qin He hurriedly lowered his head to hide his inner thoughts, and didn't dare to look at Xiao Su'er's eyes at all.
"Hehe, is it? Actually, Senior Brother Qin doesn't have to be like this, I see that when you are planting medicinal herbs, you are occasionally absent-minded, think about the reason why you came to the valley, I will know the truth, if it is not because of this, is there any other reason why Senior Brother Qin can't be?", looking at Qin He's surprised look, Xiao Su'er said with a playful smile.
"Ahem, since Senior Sister Xiao has already seen it, don't make fun of me anymore", Qin He said with some embarrassment.
Since Xiao Su'er has seen it, Qin He will no longer hide it, since Xiao Su'er can see that he is anxious, then Xiao Lao may have already seen it, thinking of this, Qin He suddenly felt extremely ashamed, his thoughts have long been seen by others, but he is still pretending to be deep here, which is really a little ridiculous.
Seeing that Qin He was a little embarrassed, Xiao Su'er didn't continue, in order to alleviate the embarrassing scene, Qin He hurriedly pulled the topic to something else.
"Senior Sister Xiao, why do you say that these herbs can cure diseases and save people?"
"Eh, Senior Brother's question is really ......", hearing Qin He actually ask such a strange question, Xiao Su'er couldn't help but be stunned, and didn't answer for a while.
Seeing that Xiao Su'er didn't answer, Qin He couldn't help but smile and said:
"Senior Sister Xiao Bingxue is smart, she can even see other people's thoughts, I didn't expect there to be a problem you don't know."
Seeing Qin He's snickering appearance, Xiao Su'er suddenly understood something, this Senior Brother Qin must have said his thoughts because of himself, which made him feel very embarrassed, so he deliberately said such a difficult problem to embarrass himself, thinking of this, Xiao Su'er deliberately showed a serious look and said:
"I really don't know this kind of question, otherwise I'll help Senior Brother Qin ask when Grandpa comes back, and by the way, I'll tell Grandpa what you think, I'll just say that Senior Brother Qin is restless during this time, and he just wants to learn the art of refining the body, if Grandpa doesn't teach Senior Brother Qin how to refine the body, he will no longer do the chores in this valley."
Listening to Xiao Su'er's words, Qin He's heart trembled, thinking that this Senior Sister Xiao was really powerful, and wanted to make fun of her, but she didn't expect to be defeated by her, if she really said that, the art of refining the body would definitely not be learned, how to explain it to the master when the time comes, thinking of this, Qin He's face instantly became ugly.
"Giggles, Senior Brother Qin won't really believe me to say that, right?" Seeing Qin He's worried look, Xiao Su'er suddenly giggled.
Qin He only felt speechless for a while, this Senior Sister Xiao pretended to be too similar, and he finally realized that Xiao Su'er was joking with himself, Qin He had to admit that sometimes he was too stupid, or Xiao Su'er was too smart.
In this way, the two of them would always chat a few words from time to time, and gradually, the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer, in the blink of an eye, two hours passed, and it was close to noon at this time, Qin He was already feeling a little hungry, and his stomach couldn't help but rumble.
"Senior Brother Qin, I've been busy all morning, I feel a little hungry, why don't we rest for a while and come back after eating", Xiao Su'er buried a herb in his hand into the soft soil, then stood up and said to Qin He.
Qin He nodded immediately, and prepared to go to eat with Xiao Su'er first, and then plant the remaining herbs into the soil. Just as the two of them were about to go to eat, a voice suddenly came from the valley outside the Ming Medicine Pavilion.
"Under Liu Quan, I have something to meet Xiao's seniors, and I look forward to seeing it"!
Hearing the voice, Qin He couldn't help but be stunned, there was really a guest coming to the Ming Medicine Pavilion, and suddenly, Xiao Lao couldn't help but add a bit of mystery in Qin He's heart.
"Let's go, Senior Brother Qin, let's go and entertain the guests first", Xiao Su'er gently patted the wet soil on her hand and whispered to Qin He.
