When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1168 Xuanyu 24
"Who do you think the Xin family's enemy is?"

"They must be someone who has a grudge against the Xin family, is there even a need to ask?"

"Isn't that obvious? If there was no grudge, why would they come looking for the Xin family? What I mean is, why did they specifically target Xin Sheng? Did that kid offend them?"

"What kind of trouble can a little kid cause? Sword bones can be innate, but they can also be acquired later. Think about it carefully."

"So, does that mean Xin Sheng's sword bone wasn't innate, but rather stolen from someone else?"

"Who is so unlucky?"

"They are nothing more than those geniuses born with sword bones. I don't remember there being any in our Western Continent, but Ming Qi, the son of the Sword Sect in the Eastern Continent, is born with sword bones."

"He was a true prodigy. He reached the Foundation Establishment stage at ten, the Golden Core stage at twenty, and the Nascent Soul stage in less than a hundred years. In several sect competitions, Ming Qi was undoubtedly the number one."

"It's true that Mingqi has been out of the public eye for many years; we haven't heard from him for over a hundred years."

"So this sword bone originally belonged to Ming Qi?"

"Probably. The Xin family is in trouble now. The Sword Sect is full of lunatics."

"Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. If it was the Xin family who did it, they should have wiped them out completely. How could Mingqi..."

"Who knows? Maybe it was just meant to be."

Tan You sat in the teahouse listening to the discussions of the cultivators around her. To be honest, they were all quite clever. Without even seeing the scene, they had already pieced together most of the truth.

As for the fact that the Xin family already knew about her, she didn't care at all. She was just an observer; if the Xin family really came looking for her, she wasn't entirely helpless.

Jin Han wrapped his arms around her wrist: "My lady, aren't you worried at all?"

“There’s nothing to worry about,” Tan You chuckled and tapped Jin Han’s head. “When did watching a show have to get you into trouble? We’re not helpless; we can go anywhere.”

Jin Han sighed: "I'm just worried that you enjoy watching plays too much, sir. Our Biluoling is still weak, so we really can't go out and have fun too often."

“I understand, little housekeeper.” Tan You chuckled. “Once this matter is settled, we’ll move Biluo Ridge to the vicinity of the Sword Sect. It’s good to have a big tree to lean on, and we can cultivate properly there from now on.”

"Anyway, I have plenty of time, I'll get rid of you all first."

Jin Han hooked the tip of his tail around Tan You's finger: "My lord, your cultivation speed is far too slow."

“I don’t want to either,” Tan You said helplessly. “Let it be. Anyway, I have plenty of lifespan, so I’ll just let it wear me down.”

“When we go up there, we’ll build a Biluo Ridge, and we’ll all live together,” Jin Han imagined. “We’ll help the adults gather information, and we’ll make sure that the adults are completely clueless when they arrive in the Upper Realm.”

Tan You thought to herself that there wasn't a single person who had ascended to immortality in the entire Biluo Ridge, yet the little ones were drawing huge, round pie-in-the-sky plans. And Tan You was even expected to happily open her mouth and eat these huge pie-in-the-sky plans – quite a magical experience indeed.

While Tan You went out to relax but was actually gossiping, Ming Qi, under the protection of the elders and his own father, also integrated sword bones.

With their son's sword bone returned, Mingyuan, Moyi, and Mojiu could no longer sit still. The four of them, along with Yaoyao, stormed the Chaotian Sect. After all, Xinzhao was the fourth elder of the Chaotian Sect. Even when beating a dog, one must consider its owner. There had to be a reason to rashly attack the fourth elder of the Chaotian Sect.

As they passed the teahouse, another female cultivator in black joined the group; it was Tan You. Tan You divided the packed snacks among Yao Yao's portions, saying, "You've worked so hard following Ming Qi; you didn't even get a snack."

Mingqi's lips twitched: "Sword cultivators don't discriminate when it comes to food and clothing."

Tan You glared at him: "Although Yao Yao is many times your age, she's still a little girl. You're a rough man, you can't expect Yao Yao to be rough too."

Mingqi thought of Yaoyao's formidable fighting prowess: "Sir, Yaoyao is much rougher than me."

Tan You selectively ignored his arguments: "Forget it, Yao Yao is your soulmate, I shouldn't say anything more."

Yao Yao chuckled and took a bite of her candied hawthorn: "My lord, Mingqi is indeed quite boring. All he does all day is cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate some more. It's good that you're thinking of me..."

Tan You chuckled softly, suddenly realizing that she really shouldn't interfere too much in the relationship between Mingqi and Yaoyao. After all, they were the closest people now, while she was just an outsider.

The thought that all the little seedlings she had painstakingly nurtured would go with someone else made Tan You feel uneasy. Wasn't this a classic case of doing the work for someone else's benefit?
But when she thought about the merit of supporting the plant race, Tan You calmed down. Well, she had her own purpose, so she shouldn't ask for too much.

The Hall of Elders of the Chaotian Sect.

The big news about the Xin family naturally reached the Chaotian Sect as well, and the sect had even figured out the identities of Ming Qi, Ming Yuan, and Tan You. As for Yao Yao's background, no one could figure it out.

The First Elder's face was ashen. "Fourth Elder, you've done a really stupid thing! You should have nipped the problem in the bud from the start."

Xin Zhao's face was grim: "I shattered his dantian back then, who knew this kid would rebuild it all back to normal?"

Second Elder: "Treasures that can reshape the dantian are rare."

Third Elder: "It's obvious they've come seeking revenge. We can't let this involve the Chaotian Sect."

Fifth Elder: "The Sword Sect is also a major sect. If we offend the Sword Sect..."

Xin Zhao: "This is my own personal grudge, and naturally has nothing to do with the Chaotian Sect. I don't even consider Mingyuan a threat."

The elder's eyes gleamed: "I think the key to this matter lies with that Xuan Yu. The Xuanwei Merfolk from the Upper Realm always have some strange and unusual skills."

Just as they were discussing matters, a deep voice rang out: "Listen up, fellow cultivators of the Chaotian Sect! I am Mo Yi, Mo Jiu, Ming Yuan, and Ming Qi from the Sword Sect. Our sect has a long-standing grudge against your sect's fourth elder, Xin Sheng, and I have come here today to collect the debt."

"We have no intention of harming the innocent. If Xin Zhao does not appear in three breaths, do not blame us for being ruthless."

The elders in the Elder Hall exchanged glances, and soon appeared in front of the Chaotian Sect's gate. At this moment, countless cultivators were heading towards the Chaotian Sect, including cultivators from the main sect and rogue cultivators passing by.

After all, such a spectacle between major sects is indeed rare. As for whether being nearby would cause any repercussions, these people don't care as long as there's excitement to watch.

Mingqi didn't recognize Xin Zhao, but he was good at reading people. He could tell who his enemy was by who gave him a strange look. To confirm his guess, he even asked Tan You, "That guy with the goatee, is he Xin Zhao?"

“Hmm, it’s him,” Tan You nodded. “I can already see the death aura on him. He will surely die today.”

Tan You's voice wasn't loud, but every cultivator has sharp ears and eyes, and Xin Zhao naturally heard her words. He stared at Tan You with a sinister look and said, "Fellow Daoist said today is my death day, so do you know that you will die before me?"
