Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

Green Snake turned his head to look at him, and was shocked to find that the boy had fainted. He couldn't help but say:

"Even though he's unconscious, his hands and feet are still locked so tightly. Is this a ghost who's been reincarnated?"

After escaping for a distance, Chu Wuzhi had just fallen into a coma and was subconsciously worried that his godmother was missing. He woke up with a start before he had enough rest, and his body trembled.

Seeing that he was still holding the woman's body, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he felt a terrifying aura behind him and turned his head to look.

Above the woods was the clear autumn sky, without a single cloud, like a freshly cleaned mirror, but there was one place that stood out!

Dark clouds gathered there, rolling and twisting into a huge vortex. Then several thunders fell, and the roar was deafening, which took a long time to subside.

"What is that?" Chu Wuji was stunned and frightened.

That direction seemed to be where the carriage had just stopped, and it was also where the godmother turned into a giant white snake.

The green snake paid no attention to the thunderstorm and said as if it had nothing to do with him:

"It's just the ghost girl throwing a tantrum. The woman you've been living with day and night these days is just this horrible woman."

Chapter 55: Willful Courage

On the side of the Yun family mother and daughter, Yun Qingying took her mother and rode away from the place where the white snake appeared.

The giant white snake moved slightly, and the sand and gravel on the ground rubbed harshly, like the sound of a butcher sharpening his knife when taking a life.

The birds and animals in the forest were running around on both sides of the road. They were also fleeing with the Yun family mother and daughter, trying to escape from the terrible threat.

It was not until she could no longer hear any sound behind her and only the sound of dense horse hooves remained in her ears that Yun Qingying was sure that the white snake would not be able to catch up with her and her mother.

But the horses showed no sign of stopping. Faced with an existence with strength beyond imagination, no one dared to be sure that the current distance was safe. It seemed that only by escaping to the ends of the earth could they calm their uneasiness.

Ahead is a fork in the road, with a stone tablet standing next to it. The tablet indicates that this is the official road and where the two forks lead to.

"Shut up!"

Yun Qingying reined in the horse and lowered her head, as if she was about to make a difficult decision, her pretty face showing a look of struggle.

"Mother, the official road is relatively safe, and there are many people traveling back and forth. When merchants or escort agencies' carriages pass by, just inform the Yun family and they will escort you back to the Yun family in the capital..."

The Yun family's influence is not limited to the capital. The Yun family is involved in most of the economic transactions within the Lihuo Kingdom. Teams like the escort agency will not miss the opportunity to get rewards from the Yun family and will definitely protect Madam Jiang.

Madam Jiang asked, "Qingying, why did you tell mother this?"

The girl turned her face away, pursed her lips, and finally chose to speak:

"I want to...I want to go back and help that guy. I just said I would go back."

Being born into a thousand-year-old family is almost like being born with a golden key, and you are destined not to suffer too much in this life.

However, the few children from wealthy families who were entrusted with important tasks did not enjoy themselves first, but were indoctrinated and brainwashed day and night with words like "responsibility" and "not letting down the high expectations" in their ears.

Being willful is absolutely not allowed. When Yun Qingying was not even as tall as the adults' knees, she was even deprived of the right to act like a spoiled child, which is unique to children.

If she showed the slightest resistance, the scolding would not only fall on her, but also on her mother, who would be blamed by the elders of the clan. They would say that Madam Jiang spoiled her daughter, ruined the family's hopes, and brought disaster to her husband, her family, and her clan...

In order not to implicate her mother, Yun Qingying learned to accept the various practices arranged by the elders early on. She never complained or said a word, even though the hardships were difficult for young and middle-aged people to endure, until her body could no longer bear it and she passed out.

Now, after going through countless hardships, she finally gained the recognition of the immortal, fulfilling the high hopes her family had placed on her since she was a child.

If she lost her temper at this last moment and lost her life, all the suffering she had endured in the past would have been in vain.

Madam Jiang hugged her usually taciturn daughter, gently resting her forehead against hers, and then said apologetically:

"You've never said what you want to do in the short time you can remember, in order to protect your mother from the cold eyes of the tribe. If you want to do it, just do it!"

Mrs. Jiang's heart was filled with shame and helplessness towards her daughter.

As a mother, she should have made her daughter happy and protected her from the wind and rain, but instead she made her daughter suffer and caused her temperament to become cold and taciturn.

Earlier, Chu Wuzhi was talking about all kinds of trivial and interesting things in the carriage, and Yun Qingying was the one who listened most attentively and attentively.

Mrs. Jiang saw it all, because that was the easy childhood her daughter had never had since she could walk.

Her words just now, "I want to go back and help him", were probably brewing since she got on the horse and ran away, and she didn't say them until now.

Yun Qingying didn't expect to get her mother's support. She frowned all the way, then slowly relaxed a little and said hurriedly:

"Then I'll help mother off the horse. It's safe here!"

The girl was about to help the beautiful woman down, but she shook her head and refused. Madam Jiang forced a smile:

"What are you talking about? Mother has nothing but Qingying. How can there be any reason for me to be separated from you?"

Yun Qingying and Madam Jiang looked at each other, and saw determination in her mother's eyes. The girl couldn't help but complain softly:

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier, mother? I hope it's not too late to help now!"

Without saying a word, she helped Madam Jiang steady herself, immediately turned the horse around, and rode back.

Mrs. Jiang smiled bitterly. She knew that her daughter was blaming herself, so she just regarded Qingying's complaint as a long-lost act of coquettishness.

But even if time could go back to the time when she escaped, Yun Qingying might not be able to decisively make the decision to stay.

Being willful sometimes requires courage.

A child who had been obedient for more than ten years and was forced to be dull and cold like a puppet, was suddenly asked to risk her mother's life to help others out of impulse.

This exception is not so easy to break.

......

Yun Qingying returned along the original route and headed towards the scene of the incident at full speed.

Just when they had walked halfway, they were baptized by purple thunder in front of them, and the thunder was deafening.

The girl's expression was solemn, but she showed no hesitation in stopping her horse.

As they got closer to the spot where the white snake appeared, Yun Qingying said to Madam Jiang:

"Mother, I'll put you down on the roadside in a moment. Please hide well for now, otherwise I'll be distracted."

Mrs. Jiang naturally understood this. She couldn't help much and could only try her best not to distract her daughter.

The beautiful woman was about to respond when her soft and graceful body swayed unsteadily. She was surprised to find that the horse was flying in the air.

Yun Qingying didn't understand either. This was not something she did. She couldn't make a horse fly into the sky yet.

At this time, a strange woman with a graceful and elegant appearance appeared beside him, followed by a talisman and a sword.

It was Ning Xianzhi who came here in his real form.

Her face was gloomy and dark, and the coldness in her beautiful eyes almost condensed into frost. Although she did not seem to have any ill will towards the Yun family mother and daughter, Mrs. Jiang did not dare to speak to her rashly.

Ning Xianzhi remained silent as he quickly landed at the scene with the Yun family mother and daughter.

The previous thunder did not leave any traces of destruction here, because it only broke the formation here, so that the aura here was no longer hidden by the formation.

Ning Xianzhi could certainly increase the destructive power of thunder, but she was worried that it would affect Chu Wuji and the mother and daughter of the Yun family.

But now when I returned to this place, the wreckage of the carriage was still on the side of the road, and I could still see the clear crawling marks of the white snake and the traces of beatings and fighting on the ground.

Any trace left by the white snake is so deep that it could almost be mistaken for a trench.

This is enough to show how terrifying his physical strength is!

Ning Xianzhi's eyes were as sharp as swords, looking indifferently at a bush where Chu Wuji was running.

A talisman behind her flew over, trying to find more clues, but the talisman returned empty-handed and the clue was broken.

It was obvious that the snake demon had erased all traces and did not intend to let Chu Wuzhi be tracked down by her.

Ning Xianzhi controlled his tone and said as calmly as possible:

"Madam Jiang, Qingying, I am Ning Xianzhi, the head of the Divine Sky Sect. Qingying will practice with me from now on. Just now...how did things go here?"

Chapter 56: Ning Xianzhi's New Heartache

Yun Qingying was confused. She had many questions and couldn't figure out the situation.

The person who came to the Yun family to test her cultivation talent was Chu Wuji's mother, Mrs. Bai, but Mrs. Bai suddenly turned into a white snake demon. Does the previous plan of accepting her as a disciple still count?

However, the beautiful woman in front of him, who acted like an immortal, should be the immortal from the Shenxiao Sect, and she seemed to approve of the previous qualification test.

Moreover, the fairy lady was talking about “what happened next”.

You have to know what happened before before asking about the "follow-up". Did anyone ask for help from the Shenxiao Sect?

Yun Qingying temporarily suppressed all doubts and replied:

"Madam Bai was halfway there when she suddenly jumped, seemingly fighting with a potential enemy. Then, she suddenly transformed into a giant white snake and attacked us..."

From the sudden appearance of the White Snake to the escape of mother and daughter, there were not many twists and turns in between, and the battle was one-sided.

Yun Qingying and Chu Wuzhi combined could not be a match for the white snake. The whole process can be summarized in a few words.

Ning Xianzhi could also see this. The reason why the Yun family mother and daughter were able to escape was most likely because the snake demon did not take them seriously and had no intention of targeting them.

Chu Wuzhi was probably taken away by the snake demon. If she really wanted to kill Chu Wuzhi, the young man's body would probably be lying on the ground now.

The snake demon also erased many of her scents and traces. Ning Xianzhi knew that it would be impossible for him to find her whereabouts in a short time.

Yun Qingying asked, "Master Ning, is Chu Wuji, who was traveling with me, still alive?"

Ning Xianzhi didn't let the turmoil in her heart show on her face. She suppressed her emotions and nodded gently.

"He should still be alive. The snake demon has captured him. I will deal with this matter later."

She saw Yun Qingying's doubts and gave an explanation for the time being:

"Madam Bai is my friend. Although she is a demon, she has always done good deeds. However, the demons were unwilling to let her go and controlled her mind, causing her to do that...

I was previously too busy to attend to matters in Yunhe Town, so I asked her to test your talent before going up the mountain with you. I didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected incident."

After hearing Immortal Master Ning’s explanation, the Yun family mother and daughter no longer asked any questions or raised any doubts.

Ning Xianzhi really wanted to search for the whereabouts of the snake demon, but for now he could only take the Yun family mother and daughter back to Shenxiao Sect to settle down, and wait until they recovered before bringing up the matter of the apprenticeship ceremony.

*

Ning Xianzhi brought the Yun family mother and daughter back to the Shenxiao Sect, led them to rest at his own Zhuyun Peak, and briefly explained the rules to them.

"You can relax here. I'm in charge of Zhuyun Peak. There are fewer rules than when you were in the Yun family. But there's no one to serve you. You'll have to slowly adapt to your new life here."

Yun Qingying has been practicing hard since she was young, so naturally she doesn't care about being served by servants. She can take care of herself independently.

Mrs. Jiang is a wealthy and noble lady. Although she has to endure a lot of pressure and cold eyes in the Yun family, she will never be treated badly in terms of verbal and physical treatment.

She needs to slowly adapt to the lack of maids to serve her, but she will not complain. Being able to be with her daughter is the greatest blessing in her heart!

The mother and daughter went to tidy up their own room. Ning Xianzhi stood on the edge of the cliff, staring at the sea of ​​clouds in the sect with an expressionless face.

A woman holding a wine gourd, barefoot, flew over carefree on the clouds and landed beside Ning Xianzhi.

She is a good friend of Ning Xianzhi. She heard that the emperors of the mortal world like to call themselves the supreme ruler, so she is more humble and calls herself the Taoist of Wine and Dance. She likes to brew wine and drink wine on weekdays, and then secretly travel to various places to watch the graceful dance of dancers.

Yun Qingying was recommended to Ning Xianzhi by Taoist Jiuwu. She had thought about accepting Yun Qingying as her disciple before, but their habits were not compatible and Yun Qingying was too dull and cold.

"Xianzhi, what happened? I heard from the sect disciples earlier that you went down the mountain in anger to exorcise the demon!"

"Nothing, just a little accident..."

Ning Xianzhi was still looking at the sea of ​​clouds, looking absent-minded.

Taoist Jiuwu was puzzled, but did not rush to ask. Instead, he sat beside him, crossed his legs, and swayed his white and tender feet, not caring about his image at all.

After a long while, when not a drop of wine could be poured out of the wine gourd, she said:

"Qingying is a talented girl! I won't cheat you, but unfortunately her personality is so different from mine. She will definitely not accompany me to drink and watch dancing in the future. That's why I reluctantly give her up to you~"

"Well, Qingying is excellent." Ning Xianzhi nodded, fully approving of the apprentice recommended by his friend.

"For the next few days, Xianzhi, don't worry about your own state of mind in cultivation. Instead, divert your attention and train your disciples well. You might gain unexpected rewards."

Speaking of cultivating the state of mind, Ning Xianzhi sighed deeply and said with a wry smile:

"Jiujiu, this time I came down the mountain, I solved the confusion and distress I had before, but it seems I've left behind new worries..."

The Drunken Taoist stopped shaking his feet and wanted to congratulate Ning Xianzhi, but he didn't expect her to say that she had a new knot in her heart.
