The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

"Yan Ge was once the foremost prodigy of our era..."

Upon hearing this, Chi Miao immediately stood up in shock: "What?! This is utterly alarmist!"

Jingming and Puqing: "??!"

Pu Qing: "Calm down..."

Chi Miao rummaged through his storage ring and finally found a portrait of his master.

The man in the portrait was slovenly and had an extremely fierce appearance. He wasn't exactly ugly, but after all, everyone in the cultivation world was good-looking. After looking around, he was simply unbearable to look at!

"My master can be the top genius? Him? Him??"

She pointed at the portrait and uttered a question that touched the very soul.

He was the most outstanding talent among the people, and while everyone else was at the Great Ascension stage and starting to take over as sect leaders, he only reached the Nascent Soul stage and became an elder.

This level has dropped that much?!

Pu Qing remained silent for a long time: "...This portrait of you is also of him in disguise."

Chi Miao's eyes widened, and she craned her neck in disbelief. "Disguise?!"

ah??!

Pu Qing nodded emphatically, his expression softening further, tinged with longing.

"Yan Ge... his true appearance was truly magnificent, beyond words, and unforgettable at first glance! Back then... we were nothing more than insignificant figures behind him, and I only caught a glimpse of him from afar."

"He was handsome and dashing, with a perfect physique, like a divine gift! His personal charm was unforgettable; a young prodigy in that era... his talent, opportunities, and character were almost perfect!"

"Foundation Establishment at fifteen, Golden Core at seventeen, Nascent Soul at twenty... He achieved unparalleled dominance at almost every level!"

"If a friend suffers, he will surely help; if an enemy provokes him, he will surely slay him! With a divine sword in hand, the young man's pride shines through!"

"Back then, almost all of us top talents were captivated by his charm..."

"However, he devoted himself to spiritual cultivation and never experienced romantic love... He remains unmarried to this day!!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Miao's mind went completely blank.

Who do you think this is?

Her master?

Chi Miao: "Are you talking about my master?"

Why does this person feel so unfamiliar to her? She doesn't recognize him at all!

Handsome and dashing, the foremost among the elite, with an extraordinary personal charm?!

You mean that master who pretended to be an old man to give her a chance, tricked her into joining the sect, and then locked her up in prison?!

Pu Qing nodded emphatically: "Yes, it's him! Absolutely!"

Chi Miao: "I don't believe it."

Pu Qing: "..."

Jingming kept glancing at Chi Miao and then at Pu Qing, chewing on the melon seeds in his hand, and his ears were constantly twitching.

Wow.

That's amazing!

Pu Qing sighed deeply, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly collapsed like a deflated balloon.

"Yes, how could anyone believe that he was once like that?"

"Things have changed, and people are no longer the same..."

Chi Miao: "Stop lamenting. Tell me, how did he become like this?"

Chi Miao listened to this gossip.

Meanwhile, he also opened a group chat using the Hub of Everything.

[Talent Wholesale Department in the Cultivation World]

[Wholesale Department Manager: @Sword, I have a question for you.]

This "sword" refers to Ying Wuhuo, our handsome naked swimmer.

[Sword: You speak.]

Chi Miao is broadcasting all the gossip he's heard live.

The group members were shocked.

[Sword: Unheard of.]

[Master of Spending Money: What? I thought that old geezer was just a beggar who liked to come to our Jade Purity Peak every day to freeload. I always felt sorry for him and would even buy him extra chicken legs.]

[Qin Shihuang: This is so exciting? What a contrast! Why don't you ask Jingming? @Don'tLikeGossip.]

[I don't like gossip: Unbelievable! I'm with Chi Miao.]

[Emperor Qin: You had no idea how well the secrecy was maintained?]

[Iron-Blooded Female T: You guys keep asking. We'll also have Ying Wuhuo and Jin Shengfei follow up and check the information.]

Wholesale Department Manager: Okay, wait for my news.

Seeing that Elder Puqing still seemed unwilling to reveal anything, Chi Miao and Jingming exchanged a glance.

Chi Miao immediately sobbed twice, her fingers carefully tugging at Master Puqing's clothes: "Are you really not going to tell me, Master? Master must have suffered a great blow to become like this. I love my master very much. If you don't tell me, I will try to find out... You... please tell me, let me find a way to redeem my master, otherwise, as his disciple, I will not have a clear conscience!"

Jingming, his face also filled with heartache, patted Chi Miao's shoulder in a comforting manner: "Amitabha, benefactor, you need to understand for yourself, you don't owe anyone anything..."

Chi Miao cried even harder, and began wiping away her tears while holding Jingming's Buddhist disciple set.

"How could I not owe my master? Without my master, there would be no Miao'er today!"

Jingming: "...Tsk."

Pu Qing remained silent for a very long time after witnessing this scene.

absurd!

It's ridiculous!

"Alright! Since you really want to know, I'll tell you what I can."

Chi Miao's expression changed instantly: "Please speak."

Pu Qing: "..."

"The losses from that incident back then were enormous, and we agreed to keep it a secret forever, so there's not much I can tell you."

"The key figures in this matter are your master, Rong Yue, and... a woman named Yun Mo."

Chi Miao: "And then?"

Pu Qing: "That's all I can say. Don't ask any more questions. I won't tell you. Hurry up and finish choosing your pill patterns and leave."

Chi Miao still wants to act.

"If you don't get up and go get the Danwen right now, you can forget about getting it!"

As a result, Pu Qing picked up a stick and hit Chi Miao on the buttocks.

Chi Miao was in so much pain that she felt like she was flying through the air, and when she finally fell, there was no one to catch her.

Chi Miao: "Monk, why didn't you answer me!"

Jingming: "...I was wiping clothes, I didn't see it."

His Buddhist robes were all dirty.

Chi Miao felt that the cultivation world was truly treacherous, and that those without hair were even more treacherous.

However, it seems that Pu Qing really won't say anything more, and they'll have to investigate the rest themselves.

However, this matter seems to involve quite a lot of people?

Rong Yue... her senior brother and fellow inmate.

As for this new character named Yunmo, she really didn't know her.

Chi Miao asked his friends to check through the All Things Hub.

Then he glanced at Pu Qing again: "Well..."

Before he could say anything, Pu Qing grabbed a stick.

Chi Miao quickly covered her mouth.

Okay, okay!

She simply won't ask!

Jingming was both amused and exasperated. "Let's go and choose some red patterns... It's noon now, the red patterns are at their most radiant, making it the easiest time to choose the right one for you."

Helpless, Chi Miao could only watch Pu Qing longingly before running off to choose a Danwen (a type of cinnabar pattern).

Putin added, "What are you looking at me for? I'm being kind by not killing you, you talk too much nonsense!"

Chi Miao muttered under her breath, "Yes, yes, my butt can talk, it's all just farts."

Pu Qing: "..."

Jingming smiled.
