Chapter 88: Wants to Take Her as a Disciple, The Immortal Second-Generation (1/2)

Ye Qingning blinked and thought that the dog’s analysis made a lot of sense.

Although this thing was quite troublesome, it was still sharp when it mattered.

Since the Ye family wouldn’t speak up, the only person who might discover something was her Dao partner.

However, regarding this matter, Dao partners could not be completely trusted. Not all Dao partners would allow the other into their spiritual residence unless there was complete trust.

Who could guarantee that she wouldn’t end up as the next person to be consumed by her?

Therefore, there was no need to worry about anyone discovering the demonic energy in her golden seal and suspecting she was a demon spirit body.

It also made her realize that her biological mother and unknown father were likely not ordinary people.

[Ning Ning, stop thinking about it, look at the spiritual jade slip! You have no idea what’s happening outside while you’re trapped in the Heart Demon Illusion!]

Ye Qingning pulled her thoughts back. Since she now knew she was born with a demonic spirit body, she wondered if she could find any clues about her origins from this.

Prompted by the system, she took out the spiritual jade slip.

Seeing the recorded images hanging in the Immortal Gate’s hall, her heart skipped a beat. Combined with the smooth explanation, the jade slip flipped open.

The system was crushed with despair and reminded her: [Ning Ning, the Ye family didn’t take you, they definitely won’t give up. You only have two days before you leave the sect. If you leave Penglai, you must be careful!]

[Also, that Dog Lianxi, she’s been counterattacked by the maternal worm, and her heart pulse is severed. She won’t be coming out to cause a scene for a while. It’s a pity that Old Zhou won’t stand up for Dog Lianxi, but he can treat her heart pulse.]

[The Immortal Sect competition in three months, maybe Dog Lianxi can catch up.]

Ye Qingning narrowed her eyes. Since Old Zhou could heal her heart pulse, he could also treat that mad woman.

The Immortal Sect competition would be the best chance for her to encounter that crazy woman.

In addition to the recorded images, she also saw messages from Si Qian, Bai Wei, and Song Ziyan. Li Taihang also said he was waiting to leave the sect with her, and he had already run eight hundred laps around the body cultivation hall.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard footsteps drawing nearer. The visitors were Xuan Yangzi and Wuming Daoist.

They were originally worried that Ye Qingning had come to check the situation, but upon seeing her holding the jade slip and about to leave, Xuan Yangzi became excited.

“Good, good, good! I knew you could safely overcome the Heart Demon Illusion, little girl! You really didn’t disappoint me!”

“You’re planning to leave the sect? Why don’t I have your two senior brothers, ahem, two senior uncles accompany you?”

The two senior uncles Xuan Yangzi mentioned were undoubtedly Lu Linyuan and Wen Xingshu.

As for Jiang Shaoling, the old man thought that brat had bad eyes and loved to pick fights. He wasn’t fit to accompany her. If that brat went with her, his little disciple would soon be snatched away by someone else!

Ye Qingning obediently saluted and politely declined, “Thank you for your kind offer, Elder. I won’t trouble Senior Uncles. My senior brothers and sisters are still waiting for me. We will be careful in our travels.”

She then gave a deep bow to the Wuming Daoist standing beside Xuan Yangzi. “Thank you, Senior, for resolving my curse. Please accept my bow!”

Wuming Daoist slightly nodded, and for some unknown reason, seeing Ye Qingning so obedient and understanding, he felt the urge to take her as a disciple for the umpteenth time.

“The curse has been broken. Someone with a maternal worm will suffer a counterattack. The Ye family won’t let you off, and while Penglai can protect you, once you leave, with your current strength, you’ll eventually have to avoid the Ye family’s pursuit.”

“If you are willing to enter the path of curse cultivation, I will take you as my disciple. You can travel with me, free and unrestrained, and no one will be able to find you. The Ye family cursed you, and after that, you can curse them back. Wouldn’t that be delightful?”

The system was stunned. Could this be played like this? Turning the Ye family into puppets sounded pretty thrilling!

Ye Qingning’s eyes also lit up. Honestly, she was a little tempted.

Forget about whether they’d be puppets or not, but this person was the top expert in the art of curses! Just looking at that worm when she was un-cursed…

A warm reminder: If you like this book, don’t forget to add it to your shelf to avoid losing it next time.

Chapter 88: Wants to Take Her as a Disciple, The Immortal Second-Generation (2/2)

Uh… one worm would be fine, but if she had to raise a whole bunch of weird, ugly, and creepy insects, especially those with many legs, just thinking about it made her scalp tingle. She feared she’d dream about battling worms.

The key was, she couldn’t leave Penglai. That crazy woman wasn’t just waiting for the fall of Penglai Sect—she was determined to keep Penglai in the top position among the immortal sects.

Since she had joined Penglai, she was now a part of it.

“Good for you, Wuming! You’re trying to steal my little un-entered disciple right under my nose!”

“Go, go, go, quickly go back to find your unworthy disciple. Ye girl may not want to take you as a master, but she’s a member of Penglai Sect. She won’t follow you out. Hmph!”

His comment about “unworthy” reminded Wuming Daoist that if his eldest disciple was unworthy, maybe he should take on a more promising one! If one disciple didn’t work, he could always train another—it wasn’t a big deal.

“Take this jade token. If you wish to enter the curse path, use the jade token to send a message to me. Becoming my disciple doesn’t necessarily mean you have to leave Penglai.”

Xuan Yangzi: ??? What? You’re still trying to teach her at my place? Shouldn’t I give you a temporary elder title instead?

Ye Qingning took the jade token, even though she was scared of insects. But if it meant she could stay in Penglai and receive one-on-one teaching, then it was worth considering.

If she could learn to tolerate those bugs, the curse path might not be so bad after all.

Penglai disciples, after all, were known for having versatile skills!

Leaving Jiu Li Peak, just halfway down the mountain, Ye Qingning met Jiang Shaoling.

She suddenly remembered she hadn’t paid back the spiritual stones to that grumpy dog. As a person who valued credibility, she immediately took out the prepared storage bag.

Jiang Shaoling took the storage bag filled with spiritual stones, but his eyes were still full of disdain. He couldn’t understand why the old man valued her so much. Even her two senior brothers praised her.

Ye Qingning returned the spiritual stones. No debts meant a lighter heart, so she didn’t bother talking to Jiang Shaoling anymore and continued down the mountain.

She also sent a message to Song Ziyan and the others, arranging to meet at the sect entrance after a cup of tea.

The items she obtained in the secret realm included a few that needed identification, and some she planned to sell for spiritual stones. After all, she needed to save up more stones to buy a mountain peak.

Otherwise, although the Blue Spirit Spring could be placed in the Starry Ring, it wasn’t just hers, and she had to buy a peak sooner or later.

She also changed the name of the spiritual jade slip to “AAAA Selling Pills to Block Heavenly Lightning Professional Version (Price on Request, Discounts for Bulk Orders).”

After a cup of tea, Ye Qingning had changed into her own clothes and arrived at the sect entrance.

In addition to Song Ziyan, Si Qian, and Wei Tai, she noticed a male cultivator who looked somewhat familiar.

Although she couldn’t place his name, she remembered that this person also entered the Yunshan Secret Realm and even broke through to the Golden Core stage inside.

Seeing him standing with Song Ziyan, they seemed familiar with each other.

The system did its job and explained: [Ning Ning, this male cultivator’s name is Qi Feifan, a well-known second-generation immortal in Penglai Sect.]

[His father, Qi Lian Xian Zun, is the peak master of Yun Ding Peak in the inner sect and holds great prestige. His mother, Yu Mengli, is the peak master of Loxia Peak and one of the few female Immortal Masters in Penglai Sect.]

[They had a hard time conceiving a child and named him Feifan, but he’s not impressive at all.]

[It took him many years just to move from being a menial disciple to an outer sect disciple. He failed multiple times in assessments and only passed them after several tries. Even after entering the inner sect, he remained stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage.]

[In this time’s Yunshan Secret Realm list, there are a few who still can’t break through the Foundation Establishment stage, and he’s one of them.]

Ye Qingning looked Qi Feifan up and down. He had the lazy, nonchalant air of someone raised in indulgence. She thought to herself that people like him weren’t lacking in effort—they just didn’t know how to take a hard hit, like flowers in a greenhouse that had never experienced wind and rain.

Qi Feifan also sized Ye Qingning up and said, “Let’s go, to the Lingxu Gathering.”
