Xiao Qitian wasn't good at saying romantic things; his words were simple, but he always kept his word.

As she thought this, she glanced at the carriage out of the corner of her eye and noticed figures moving inside. She couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother, who are they...?"

"Oh, these are my relatives who wanted to visit the Kongling Sect."

relative?

Xiao Geyun tilted her head; it was the first time she had ever heard that Xiao Qitian had relatives.

"That......"

"Junior sister."

Xiao Qitian interrupted her.

His gentle, indulgent smile remained unchanged. He took the initiative to take Xiao Geyun's hand and said, "Let's go in."

Emotion overwhelmed reason and took the lead. Xiao Geyun nodded with a flushed face, and she put these subtle illusions out of her mind.

Li Chumo had a beautiful dream.

When she woke up, the sun was shining on her, and she remembered that she seemed to have become a Daoist couple with her master yesterday.

"Ahhhhh!!"

She sat up abruptly. Her master was not in the room, but there was a message from him on the table.

This can be considered a tacit understanding between the two. Over the past ten years, whenever Li Chumo slept in late while Yang Pingsheng had to get up early to run errands, the latter would leave a message for her on the table.

This time was no exception. The style of the message was consistent with Yang Pingsheng's, reminding her to wash up and eat after getting up, and not to forget to go to the main hall for the assembly meeting at noon.

She glanced at it briefly, her mind still filled with the events of last night. It wasn't until she sat at the stone table outside the courtyard, eating the breakfast her master had prepared for her, that she came back to her senses.

"The weather is so nice today!"

When the weather is nice, your mood is naturally good.

She hummed a song until she turned her head and saw Xiao Qitian standing in the corner.

Li Chumo put down his chopsticks.

When did this guy get standing there?

The smile faded from her face, and her eyes became calm and indifferent.

"Senior Brother is back?" she asked casually, without even bothering to bow.

She's always been like this, and Xiao Qitian is used to it. If it were before, he would argue with her a bit, but today is different. His dark eyes are looking at her with a playful expression.

"Aren't you human?" he suddenly said.

"?"

Is this considered stirring up trouble? Li Chumo was so angry she laughed. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Xiao Qitian: "What do you want? To avenge Senior Sister Xiaoyun?"

"When I say you are not human, I am not insulting you, but simply stating a fact."

Xiao Qitian laughed and said, "I became curious about you the first time I saw you. After ten years of studying you, I can now confirm that you are not human."

Ten years ago, when the two first met, eleven-year-old Li Chumo used her special powers to disrupt Xiao Qitian's spiritual energy, and at that time, Xiao Qitian became interested in her.

For a full ten years, Xiao Qitian never gave up investigating Li Chumo's power. He knew very well that the power did not belong to the beastmen, much less to humans.

That is.......

"Taixu."

"Legend has it that if a treasure can remain in the Great Ruins for a long time without being corrupted by the power of the Great Ruins, then it can conversely store the power of the Great Ruins and merge with it."

"If this treasure were to be reborn in a certain world and become a human, then that human would also be able to use this power."

Li Chumo: "?"

It's getting more and more mysterious.

Of Yang Pingsheng's four disciples, Li Chumo disliked the so-called eldest brother the most. Compared to the second senior brother's directness, the third senior sister's cunning, and the fourth senior sister's naivety, the eldest senior brother Xiao Qitian's rambling and nonsensical words were even more annoying.

"Senior Brother, I don't understand what you're saying." Li Chumo said impatiently, "If you want to stand up for Senior Sister Xiaoyun, fine, I'll play along. If you have nothing else to say, then get out of the way. I'm in a good mood today and don't want to scold you."

She skipped breakfast, stood up, and walked to her room.

"The treasure transforms into a human and enters the world, but its true form is still a treasure. Although it takes on a human form, it cannot generate the destiny of a human. Therefore, it can only choose the destiny of another person to fill itself."

"However, such filling is ultimately imperfect. Everyone's destiny is unique. If two people with the same destiny exist in the world, then fate will intervene. Under the guidance of fate, the treasure will completely kill the person whose destiny was borrowed at some point, thus truly becoming a human and walking in the world."

Li Chumo ignored him, treating Xiao Qitian as if he were talking nonsense, and walked away on his own.

However, his next words made Li Chumo stop in her tracks: "You and your master have a very good relationship, don't you?"

Li Chumo stopped and looked at him: "What do you want to say?"

“I know my master. He is a person who respects his teachers and values ​​the Way. He is rigid and stubborn. How could someone like him disregard the rules of the Kongling Sect for your sake?”

"so?"

"I want to tell you a story, I guarantee it'll be more interesting than any folk tale."

Xiao Qitian pointed to the chair and said, "Please sit down."

Li Chumo looked at him coldly and sat down.

Xiao Qitian began to tell his story, but the story was not pleasant to Li Chumo at all.

The treasure transforms into a human and enters this world, initially requiring the borrowing of another's destiny.

The person whose fate was used was a little girl who was not well-liked in the fox tribe.

Although she was not well-liked in the fox tribe, her true identity was the daughter of Li Yaoyang, the sect leader of the Kongling Sect.

Fox people are different from ordinary people. Their gestation and childbirth time is much longer than that of ordinary people, basically measured in years. So when Li Yaoyang's daughter was born, his grandson had already grown up.

Because of certain events, after learning that he had an illegitimate daughter, Li Yaoyang wanted to make amends to her. Therefore, he entrusted the task to his most obedient and compliant apprentice, Yang Pingsheng.

By a twist of fate, the person his apprentice brought back was not Li Yaoyang's real illegitimate daughter, but rather a secret treasure that used the fate of Li Yaoyang's illegitimate daughter.

But Yang Pingsheng didn't know that the most crucial thing was that because Li Yaoyang was in seclusion, no one could verify whether this girl was Li Yaoyang's daughter. Yang Pingsheng was also the person who cared most about his master and the rules. The reason why he broke the rules of the Kongling Sect and turned a blind eye to the girl he brought back was most likely because Li Yaoyang asked him to take care of his daughter.

Yang Pingsheng was still the same Yang Pingsheng; his feelings for that girl were only based on his own master.

Not to mention, he doesn't know the real truth...

"Nonsense!"

Li Chumo, unable to bear it any longer, slapped the stone table until it shattered.

"Senior brother, if you're trying to provoke me with a story, then I admit you've succeeded. The story is terrible, and I'm very angry."

The stone table shattered on the ground, and the girl opposite him was already bursting with murderous intent, but Xiao Qitian was not afraid at all, and still smiled as he said:

"Are you angry and embarrassed? Is it because of your identity, or because your relationship with your master has been questioned?"

His figure disappeared.

A hand gently patted Li Chumo's shoulder.

Li Chumo's pupils contracted, and Xiao Qitian had unknowingly arrived beside him.

"We always have to face the real world."

Xiao Qitian said calmly:

"So-called growth is a distorted progress after reality shatters illusion."

Chapter 428 Bet

"Nonsense!"

With rampant demonic energy, Li Chumo immediately entered a half-beast state, turned around, and grabbed at Xiao Qitian with a claw.

Spiritual energy and demonic energy intertwined, fists and wolf claws clashed, neither gaining the upper hand.

Do you want to deny your identity?

Xiao Qitian reversed his fist and forcefully pressed Li Chumo's hand down: "Since you don't believe what I say, why don't you verify it yourself?"

"What?" Li Chumo was stunned, his demonic aura momentarily halting. "Verification?"

“For so many years, the sect leader has been in seclusion, so his understanding of various aspects is based on what his master tells him,” Xiao Qitian said. “But today, the sect leader has come out of seclusion and is convening a meeting of the entire sect, so of course he will see you in person.”

"When he finds out you're not his real daughter, but an imposter, how do you think Master will treat you?"

"Of course it will be the same as always!" Li Chumo shouted angrily, "Stop trying to sow discord here. Besides, I am not the sect leader's daughter. I am who I am, I am Li Chumo!"

"Li Chumo... Hehe, the current sect leader of the Kongling Sect is named Li Yaoyang, the same surname as you. You already knew that, didn't you?"

Li Chumo felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

The demonic aura dissipated, and her half-beast form was lifted. She stood there blankly.

A cool breeze blows, and the violets by the window sway gently, shedding a few petals.

Xiao Qitian looked at her and asked, "Was the name Li Chumo given to you by your master, or by the sect leader for his daughter?"

"......"

Xiao Qitian spread his hands: "The truth is right in front of you, yet you deny it. It seems you haven't grown up yet."

“You are not Li Chumo, your master will leave you sooner or later.”

Will leave...

This sentence sounds familiar.

Yes, I had heard that phrase before.

No matter how wonderful the time is, no matter how much you cherish it, how much you long for it, or how much you plead, it will eventually come to an end.

He left on an ordinary day.

People, in the end, all have to leave.

"no no!"

As the pitch-black flames burned, Li Chumo suddenly looked up and glared angrily at Xiao Qitian.
