The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 217 New Notes - Good Daddy (6k)

When Wu Tiangang's disciple Fang Jun heard Lin Daochen say he wanted to search his soul, he immediately jumped out and started shouting with an angry face.

"Master Lin, you put it so lightly. You know how much damage soul searching can cause to a person's mind."

"My master is a highly respected third-level formation master. If his sea of ​​consciousness is damaged, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Do you mean that you no longer believe in the prince's methods?" Lin Daochen looked at Fang Jun calmly.

When Fang Jun heard this, he subconsciously looked at the powerful Soul-Slaying Realm expert in front of him, and his face suddenly turned pale.

He quickly bowed respectfully and said in a trembling voice, "Don't blame me, Your Highness. I absolutely do not question your thoughts. I am just worried that Master will not be able to handle it in such a hurry."

Xuanyuan Shuo waved his hand and frowned.

He was not a fool. He could tell from Lin Daochen's clear and logical words and the panic expressions of the two people beside him.

And from the suspicious look on their faces when they learned that Lin Daochen had been promoted to a third-level formation master and tried their best to recommend him, he had roughly guessed the truth of the matter.

At this moment, I just feel a little irritated.

He was fed up with all the conspiracies and intrigues in the imperial capital, so he volunteered to come to the border to garrison.

He originally thought that the people here were all straight-talking and didn't want to go around in circles.

But he overlooked one point: as long as there are people, you can't avoid these things at all.

But what to do now?
Should he blame Su Lishan and Wu Tiangang who have worked hard here for five years, or should he seek justice for Master Lin who was wrongly accused?
These three people were not members of the imperial court, but were distinguished guests he had specially invited to help.

Moreover, he doesn't care who is right or wrong. As the highest authority in the entire border, he is only concerned about what to do with the only four-color magic circle?
Then, he looked at Lin Daochen and asked solemnly, "What you meant just now is that the formation hasn't collapsed and it can be repaired in another day?"

Lin Daochen nodded slightly and said, "I'm not sure. Perhaps, if we work together to repair it, there is still a chance."

He didn't dare to speak too confidently. After all, it was still unknown whether Zhou Qing could successfully repair this last spiritual pattern.

Moreover, after venting his anger and dissatisfaction, he softened his heart again.

Just as he had thought before, Su Lishan and Wu Tiangang in front of him were his mentors and the leaders in the entire fourth-level cultivation formation.

He wanted to give them another chance, and work together to overcome the difficulties.

Looking at Master Lin, who had such an open-minded mind, a hint of emotion flashed in Xuanyuan Shuo's eyes.

This is a step down.

Then, he turned to look at Su Lishan and Wu Tiangang, and asked in a calm tone with a hint of expectation: "Masters, what do you think?"

Wu Tiangang sensed the chaotic spiritual power around him, and recalled his previous deductions. He immediately saluted with a hint of anger and determination in his tone.

"Since the prince doesn't trust me, I'll just leave. The mountains are high and the road is long, so I won't bother you to see me off!"

After saying this, he turned around abruptly, flicked his sleeves, and strode away with his disciples.

Seeing this, Su Lishan sighed and said, "I hope Your Highness will make early preparations. This formation has been tormented by them and can't hold out for much longer. I'll take my leave!"

Then he turned around and left.

Xuanyuan Shuo panicked upon seeing this and quickly chased after them to persuade them, "Calm down, everyone. We're all here to protect the border. There's no need to be so impulsive..."

Looking at this scene, Lin Daochen shook his head, his face full of disappointment.

As a person who studies hard, the most basic ethics should be to ask questions without hesitation and to admit mistakes.

Now, in order to maintain their pitiful reputation and face, these two people have completely lost the humility and demeanor that a scholar should have.

The complexity of human hearts is sometimes even more unpredictable than the runes of this fourth-level magic circle.

Now, all hopes can only be placed on Zhou Qing.

The second uncle beside him snorted softly, then slowly put away the image stone and muttered to himself, "After causing such a big mess, you just want to walk away like this? I don't agree with this."

As he spoke, two beams of light quietly penetrated into the ground and chased in the direction they left.

An hour later, Xuanyuan Shuo returned exhausted, his expression full of helplessness and loss.

Looking at Lin Daochen, he actually bowed.

This gift is an apology for what happened before and also a sign of respect for him.

"Now that they're gone, you should leave as well. In a few days, I'll lure some demons to attack the border. Then the matter of the four-color magic array will be blamed on them. It has nothing to do with you. This time, we're in trouble!"

Lin Daochen didn't expect that the two people would be so determined and leave as soon as they said they would.

This is because they are really afraid that the formation will collapse and implicate them.

Seeing the prince being so sensible, Lin Daochen was deeply moved. He quickly returned the gift and said, "Your Highness is very understanding and righteous. I am deeply grateful. However, this magic circle..."

"We will live up to the trust placed in us by this formation!"

Before Lin Daochen could finish his words, Zhou Qing's voice came from behind him.

The three of them suddenly turned around and saw Zhou Qing standing at the core of the magic circle, sweating profusely. One hundred and eighty-six spiritual seals surrounded his body, emitting different lights.

As he injected the last bit of spiritual power into the spiritual pattern he had repaired, all the runes in the four-color magic circle went out at that moment, and the roaring sound that had been running for more than three thousand years also came to an abrupt end at this moment.

The entire magic circle fell into deathly silence.

Xuanyuan Shuo's face turned pale when he saw this scene.

The second uncle and Lin Daochen felt an inexplicable tension and their heartbeats quickened.

"You really lived up to my expectations..."

Xuanyuan Shuo had just opened his mouth when the spiritual pattern "Qiantian Yuling Seal" that Zhou Qing had just repaired suddenly lit up with a faint light.

Then, like the first flame in the darkness, it spread around at an extremely fast speed.

Wherever he went, the extinguished runes lit up again one after another.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire magic circle seemed to be restarted and quickly turned into light.

This time, each spiritual pattern seemed to be infused with new vitality, without any sign of decay or aging.

At the same time, the core area began to vibrate slightly, until it became increasingly stronger, as if a giant beast that had been sleeping for a long time was slowly waking up.

Seeing this scene, Lin Daochen and the second uncle could no longer hold back their cheers.

Xuanyuan Shuo was completely stunned and stood there, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He was too familiar with this vigorous aura of new life. It was just like the feeling when his brother brought the fourth-level formation master to set up the Seven-Star Demon-Binding Formation here. The two were almost exactly the same.

Just as he remembered, the spiritual energy in the air began to surge wildly, forming huge spiritual energy vortexes.

These whirlpools intertwine and collide with each other, making a deafening roar.

At the same time, the eighteen giant tripods distributed under the city wall began to emit a low and heavy humming sound.

Seven mountain-sized meteorites also emitted dazzling runes, forming spectacular spiritual light pillars that pierced the sky.

Seeing the magic circle revitalized, the soldiers on the border were filled with excitement and cheered to the sky.

The cheers rose and fell, converging into a powerful wave that echoed in the sky above the border for a long time.

Everything is finally back on track!
When Zhou Qing saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the huge stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

At least he didn't bring shame to his husband and second uncle who trusted him.

"This... this is simply unbelievable!" Xuanyuan Shuo muttered to himself after coming back to his senses. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly left and went to investigate other places in the formation.

He wanted to make sure that all this was not a "last gasp of life", but a rebirth from the ashes, and that it was truly repaired.

"Good job!" It seemed like it had been a long time since the second uncle had this feeling of bearing pressure together with everyone, turning the tide, and feeling his heart surging.

At this moment, he walked forward with a smile on his face and slapped Zhou Qing hard on the shoulder.

[Heart Judgment Points +9]

Soon, the entry note above his head, which originally read "A little kid with more talent than me", changed to "A little kid you can trust".

Lin Daochen's eyes were slightly red.

The best decision he made in his life was when Si Yunya brought this slightly shy boy to his hut and he agreed to accept him as a student in the inner courtyard.

Who would have thought that this young man would be able to repair the entire magic circle by himself today.

"You did it, you really did it!" Lin Daochen cried with joy.

This time, the clouds finally cleared and the moon appeared!

Meeting the gazes of the two, Zhou Qing felt mixed emotions.

At this time, Xuanyuan Shuo also came back with an excited look on his face and said, "Alright, alright, everything is fine. You...how did you do it?"

Xuanyuan Shuo looked at Zhou Qing excitedly.

Zhou Qing bowed and said, "I repaired it according to my master's instructions. This is not the work of this junior alone. If you want to know more, you can ask my master."

Xuanyuan Shuo was stunned after hearing Zhou Qing's words.

Lin Daochen was also stunned, but soon his eyes were filled with emotion.

This is the most valuable gift Zhou Qing gave him after he was promoted to a third-level formation master.

It is conceivable that when Su Lishan and Wu Tiangang return, they will definitely draw a clear line with him, and even use their influence to slander and discredit him.

Even if he had a hundred mouths, he would still find it difficult to defend himself.

But now, in three days, the four-color magic circle on the border has been repaired. This way of rectifying the name is undoubtedly the most powerful counterattack.

At the same time, his status in the formation world was raised to an unprecedented level.

The second uncle standing by looked at Zhou Qing, his eyes filled with growing admiration.

With such a great achievement, no young person would be so calm, not take credit for himself, and share it with others with gratitude.

Xuanyuan Shuo looked at Lin Daochen's surprised expression and seemed to understand something at this moment.

I couldn't help but look at Zhou Qing again.

But he didn't expose the truth. Instead, he bowed to Lin Daochen with gratitude and said, "Master Lin, on behalf of the millions of soldiers on the border, I thank you for your help. I will always remember this kindness in my heart."

Facing Xuanyuan Shuo's salute, Lin Daochen's eyes were filled with shame.

But seeing Zhou Qing and Si Yunya smiling and nodding at him, he had no choice but to nod and quickly helped Xuanyuan Shuo up.

"This is what we should do, and it is our honor to contribute to peace on the border."

Xuanyuan Shuo nodded and was about to say something when suddenly, a huge roar came from one side of the entire magic circle.

His expression suddenly changed and his eyes became sharp in an instant.

He immediately said, "There's a demonic aura attacking us. Three of you, I'll be leaving for now. I'll personally host a celebration banquet for you later."

After finishing speaking, Xuanyuan Shuo immediately came out.

When Zhou Qing and others came out, they saw a huge bronze tripod in the distance that was constantly making noises, and there was a wisp of smoke covering a certain direction.

A large number of soldiers were gathering rapidly, and the soldiers wearing heavy armor boarded the ship together.

There are also tamed mounts that roar to the sky, their voices shaking the whole area.

Birds with wingspans several feet wide flew across the sky, already taking off. The three armies, the Dragon Soaring Army, the Black Armor Army, and the Burning Star Army, roared off.

"Senior Brother Zhou!"

"Fourth!"

Yan Xiaohu and Lu Yaoyao had been waiting anxiously outside. When they saw the three people coming out, they hurried over.

Seeing that they were all fine, I finally felt relieved.

Not long ago, they saw with their own eyes the two masters, Su Lishan and Wu Tiangang, angrily leaving with their disciples.

Even the prince couldn't persuade him.

Before leaving, he even made a harsh statement, saying that if the magic circle was destroyed, none of them would be able to escape.

This caused many soldiers to speculate and worry.

Zhou Qing could only smile and say, "It's okay, the magic circle has been repaired."

Since everyone was familiar with the place, Zhou Qing briefly recounted what had happened.

After hearing this, Lu Yaoyao's eyes were immediately filled with admiration. She had already guessed something from the renewed light of the magic circle and the shouts of countless soldiers.

[Heart Judgment Points +9]

The note above Lu Yaoyao's head that read "So domineering" immediately changed to "Good dad".

Seeing this scene, the smile on Zhou Qing's face froze immediately.

Girl, what are you thinking about all day long?

I'm only a few years older than you, and I've never even held a girl's hand.

I'm not even ready to be a father.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the time when the Demon King Houshan lost the [Fusang Lingkui] and they were sent to search for it everywhere in Canglan Mountain.

At that time, he teamed up with Lu Yaoyao.

When they lit a bonfire at night, the girl said that it had been a long time since they had felt this quiet and alone.

I also made a lot of assumptions with him, such as what kind of Taoist partner he should look for in the future, etc.

Before going to bed, he even asked him if he could call him dad, which scared him so much that he fell off the tree.

It’s only been a short time, why is it here again?
Meeting Lu Yaoyao's sparkling gaze at this moment, Zhou Qing's eyes were a little evasive, and he quickly looked at his third senior brother.

[Heart Judgment Points +9]

The "little junior brother who talks nonsense" on Yan Xiaohu's head also became "little junior brother of the future formation master".

He was also very excited at this time.

Unexpectedly, the task was completed ahead of schedule in just three days.

No wonder those two left in such a rage, it's so disgusting.

If they had left a little later and seen the formation repaired, I wonder if they would have fainted from anger.

At this moment, Zhou Qing's mind moved, and he immediately opened his personal panel.

Although most of the people bound to his innate skill [Mind's Vision] are not around, Third Senior Brother, Lu Yaoyao, and Second Uncle refresh his points from time to time.

[Name: Zhou Qing]

Age: 35

[Cultivation: Early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm]

[Heart Method: Yin-Yang Secret]

[Talent Skills: Daily Review]

【Random Post】——Strange Post Record——（Corpse Touching Post）
[Mind's Vision——LV4 (379/400)]

[Reduced Presence——LV5 (26/100)]

[Skill Fragments: 0/3 (Unobtainable)]

It seems that [Mind's Vision] will be upgraded to level five soon, and then more people will be able to be bound.

As for the [Corpse Touching Post], according to the introduction, you can only touch three people and fulfill their last wishes before they die, in order to randomly obtain precious things from their lifetime.

I don't know if the demon race can do it?

"Brother Zhou!" Just as Zhou Qing was pondering, the brother and sister Xuanyuan Yichen and Xuanyuan Muqian also hurried over.

As for Longyuan County Magistrate Zhong Yao, he had already left the welcoming banquet that night and hurried back after finishing his meal.

After all, as the head of a county with nine prefectures under his jurisdiction, he has to deal with a mountain of government affairs every day and has no time to spare, so he really has no time to stay for long.

"I heard that Master Su and Master Wu left? Are you okay?" Xuanyuan Yichen asked hurriedly.

Yan Xiaohu snorted coldly, his face full of disdain. "Two frauds who are stealing reputations, just leave. Staying here will only bring disgrace upon yourself!"

"Third Brother!" Zhou Qing called softly, then said to the two of them, "It's nothing serious. Why didn't you follow the prince?"

Since they came to the border to gain experience, a large-scale fight like the one just now should be a rare opportunity for training, and they should follow it.

Xuanyuan Yichen was confused when he saw everyone like this, but he didn't ask too many questions. He could ask the emperor for details when the time came.

At this moment, he could only say: "I didn't make it in time, but I received a message from Grandpa Huang, asking me to take good care of you."

Lin Daochen took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said politely, "Thank you, Your Highness, but we've been tired these past few days, especially Zhou Qing, who has been expending a lot of energy, so we'd like to rest."

"No problem, absolutely no problem, I'll take you back right now!" Xuanyuan Yichen responded quickly.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Muqian quietly came to Lu Yaoyao and wanted to ask something.

Lu Yaoyao shook her head apologetically. Since her father didn't want to talk more, she would not gossip about him behind his back.

"By the way, there is one more thing. My mother will be coming to the border soon!" Xuanyuan Muqian quickly lowered his voice, as if sharing an exciting little secret.

When Lu Yaoyao heard this, her eyes lit up immediately and she said excitedly, "Grandma... no, Empress Yuechen is coming? When is that?"

You know, when I first met Xuanyuan Muqian at Taiqing Gate, she had orange hair.

After investigation, we found out that the color of her hair changed because she took a special pill during that period.

But her normal appearance is the same as Lu Yaoyao's, with some silver hair in her black hair, mainly inherited from her mother.

Moreover, this Empress Yuechen is a demon, but Xuanyuan Muqian did not say what her specific race is.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Muqian was a little dazed.

grandmother?

I am your mother’s only daughter, and I don’t even have a Taoist partner. Can you please stop calling me that?

We are good friends.

But then again, if my mother saw Lu Yaoyao, she would definitely be very happy.

Since Lu Yaoyao broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, there are a lot more silver hairs in her hair, black with silver, almost like her mother.

If Yaoyao is willing, she would be happy to let her mother adopt her as her goddaughter.

"Are you also from the fox clan?" Xuanyuan Muqian suddenly reached out and touched Lu Yaoyao's butt, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Lu Yaoyao was startled and quickly dodged, a blush appearing on her face.

"You are from the fox clan... huh?" Lu Yaoyao immediately realized that this Lady Yue Chen was from the fox clan.

No wonder the Ninth Princess’ hair color is so special.

Xuanyuan Muqian laughed and said, "It has no tail and is in human form, so it seems it is not a human."

A demon commander at the Nascent Soul stage can barely speak human language, and a demon king at the Spiritual Transformation stage can transform into a human form, but some parts of his body will still retain some of the characteristics of the demon clan.

"No more talking, they've all gone far away!" Xuanyuan Muqian said, pulling Lu Yaoyao to catch up quickly.

Lu Yuanzhi, who had been standing next to him, sighed.

"Why did she come here suddenly? Did she discover me?"

Lu Yuanzhi muttered to himself, then looked in the direction Xuanyuan Shuo left, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking.

……

The Shengwu Dynasty governed eight counties and seventy-two prefectures, with a vast territory and an even more vast border.

One of them faces the sea, and the other two sides border a third-level cultivation country and a fourth-level cultivation country respectively.

The remaining south side is in direct contact with the Endless Beast Mountain.

This is the world of the demon race, and it is also the most vigilant line of defense of the Shengwu Dynasty.

Of course, among these endless beast mountains, the biggest threats are the relatively nearby Tai Yao Mountain, Blood Prison Mountain and Thousand Illusion Cave.

Each mountain range stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles and is home to countless demon tribes.

For example, in Taiyao Mountain, the most powerful force is the Peng clan, and among them was born the Peng Emperor like Feng Xuanyi.

Unfortunately, this powerful Soul Severing Realm cultivator died in the eastern region of Lingyun Mansion.

Now, many demon kings in the entire Taiyao Mountain are ready to make a move, coveting the power gap left by Feng Xuanyi, and trying to replace him and become the new overlord of Taiyao Mountain.

Most of the monsters living in the Blood Prison Mountain are cruel and bloodthirsty by nature, and they take pleasure in devouring the flesh and blood of other creatures. The most powerful one is the Dragon King, who has a trace of true dragon blood.

As for the Thousand Illusions Cave, the terrain is complex and varied, with caves crisscrossing each other, and it is the world of the Zerg.

The Spider King among them is the overlord.

This is the current specific situation of the four borders of the Shengwu Dynasty.

After reading the jade slip sent by Xuanyuan Yichen, Zhou Qing let out a long sigh.

In other words, there are three Demon Kings in the Soul-Slaying Realm threatening the southern border. With such a strong pressure, it is no wonder that Xuanyuan Shuo would be stationed here in person.

However, there are more than a dozen powerful soul-slaying masters in the Shengwu Dynasty. If there is any need, the old emperor should be able to organize them.

After all, their breakthrough was all thanks to the resources and support of the old emperor.

But at the same time, even though there are only three Demon Kings at the border, behind them are the territories of other Demon Kings, and any move can affect the entire body.

Therefore, over the years, neither side has dared to act rashly, and a delicate balance has generally been maintained.

I just don't know what clues about ancient times that Old Feng found in the Eastern Region that made Xuanyuan Shuo kill him directly?
After seeing all this, Zhou Qing finally had a general understanding of the entire dynasty.

"By the way, Second Master, which is the fifth-level cultivation nation closest to the Shengwu Dynasty?"

Zhou Qing turned his head and looked at the second uncle who was sitting cross-legged, waving his hands in the air with a weird smile on his face, and couldn't help asking.

At this moment, the second uncle chuckled from time to time, as if he was playing some evil tricks on others.
