NOVEL WEB Chapter 30 It’s Absolutely Ridiculous, He’s Not Simple
Qingxu Zi knew that someone like Jiang Minghan, an extraordinary genius, would definitely have terrifying guardians around him.
If he disturbed these guardians, even with his current strength, it would spell trouble, possibly leading to significant problems.
The hidden immortal clan had unfathomable depths.
“Judging by the current situation, Jiang Minghan must be here because of the incident from fifty thousand years ago…”
“Many forces have investigated before, but among the younger generation, only he has come.”
“Did he discover something?”
Qingxu Zi muttered to himself, his brow furrowed, his drunken demeanor replaced by a heavy seriousness.
Then, his figure moved, returning to the stone gambling shop of Qingxu Holy Land.
Most of the lights were out, except for the one in Xiao Yan’s courtyard, casting a faint glow. This piqued Qingxu Zi’s curiosity, prompting him to walk over.
He cultivated the Great Dream Immortal Technique, requiring him to fall into deep slumber to cultivate within his dreams, ignoring worldly matters.
Thus, he hadn’t paid much attention to the foolish disciple he had picked up in his youth, mainly finding him to keep Xiao Hongdou company.
“This doesn’t seem like possession, more like awakened past-life wisdom…”
Qingxu Zi’s mental strength was formidable, forming a terrifying mental domain capable of killing within dreams.
So, when he saw Xiao Yan today, he sensed something but didn’t ask.
“Disciple greets Master.”
In the courtyard, under the faint moonlight, Xiao Yan was practicing his punches, spiritual energy rising from his body. Seeing Qingxu Zi approach, he bowed respectfully.
He had been waiting for Qingxu Zi, anticipating that his master’s trip to buy wine was a pretext, intending to probe Jiang Minghan’s intentions.
There were questions and matters he wanted to explore through Qingxu Zi, to understand Jiang Minghan’s purpose and formulate countermeasures.
“You’re diligent, practicing so late.”
Qingxu Zi said calmly, his expression unchanged.
Knowing Xiao Yan had awakened past-life wisdom, he no longer viewed him as an ordinary disciple. Perhaps Xiao Yan’s previous life was older and craftier than his own.
Waiting here for his master, pretending to be diligent?
Xiao Yan didn’t expect Qingxu Zi’s attitude to be so indifferent.
But he didn’t mind, as he had little affection for Qingxu Zi, saying, “Disciple was waiting for Master’s return. With nothing else to do, I practiced.” Qingxu Zi hadn’t expected such frankness, his expression softening slightly, “So, what are you waiting for me for?”
Xiao Yan knew Qingxu Zi cared deeply for Xiao Hongdou, treating her like a daughter. So, he said directly, “It’s about Sister Hongdou. I worry she might go astray and end up heartbroken.”
He then recounted the evening at the City Lord’s Mansion in detail.
How Xiao Hongdou interacted with Jiang Minghan, their conversations, her reluctance to part… he left nothing out.
Xiao Yan was sure Jiang Minghan had ulterior motives.
Unable to persuade Xiao Hongdou himself, he turned to Qingxu Zi.
To Xiao Hongdou, Qingxu Zi was both a master and a father figure, someone she would listen to.
If Qingxu Zi spoke, Xiao Hongdou would likely obey.
“That girl Hongdou has been hiding things from me.”
“I’ll have a good talk with her tomorrow.”
Qingxu Zi nodded, not expecting Xiao Yan’s concerns to be about this.
He couldn’t help but find it amusing, like a tattletale, but it was nothing serious.
These were things Xiao Hongdou had deliberately omitted, feeling shy and unable to speak of them.
“Master, I believe Jiang Minghan, as the young master of the hidden immortal clan, holds a high position. It’s impossible for him to like Sister Hongdou. Instead of letting her pine away, it’s better to sever this thought early to avoid future regret.”
“Also, I feel Jiang Minghan’s arrival in Nanque Sacred City isn’t simple. He must have hidden motives.”
“We need to be cautious. I feel he harbors hostility towards me.”
Xiao Yan carefully chose his words, calmly expressing his thoughts.
He partly wanted to show his worth, to gain Qingxu Zi’s recognition.
Currently, he lacked the strength to protect himself, and Qingxu Zi was his only support.
Qingxu Zi would understand the impending crisis for Qingxu Holy Land.
“Harbors hostility towards you?”
“You’re just a minor disciple of a ruined Qingxu Holy Land. Why would Jiang Minghan, the young master of the hidden immortal clan, harbor hostility towards you?”
“Xiao Yan, are you overestimating yourself? Who your sister likes is her business. You shouldn’t meddle.”
“If you dare exploit your sister’s kindness, I won’t spare you.”
Hearing Xiao Yan’s cautious words, Qingxu Zi was stunned, then laughed, his tone turning unkind.
It sounded as ridiculous as an ant saying a dragon in the sky was hostile towards it.
Absolutely ridiculous.
He had seen through Xiao Yan’s scheme, trying to extract information about Qingxu Holy Land’s secrets.
Also, using his words to pressure Xiao Hongdou to stay away from Jiang Minghan.
Xiao Yan likely noticed Xiao Hongdou’s uniqueness.
Thinking this, Qingxu Zi’s gaze turned cold.
Awakened past-life wisdom, Xiao Yan was no longer the foolish disciple, now filled with plans and calculations.
He wasn’t simple.
“Master…”
Xiao Yan was shocked by Qingxu Zi’s words, his expression turning ugly.
He couldn’t believe Qingxu Zi would say this to him.
“Enough. No more words. Take care of yourself.”
Qingxu Zi glanced at him, his tone indifferent, then turned to leave.
To Qingxu Zi, Xiao Hongdou wasn’t just a beloved disciple.
Long ago, when he first took her in, he noticed her luck was remarkably terrifying.
Anyone harboring ill will towards her faced unexpected crises.
Since then, he treated her like his own daughter.
Qingxu Zi found his own luck improving as a result.
His cultivation in the Great Dream Immortal Technique relied entirely on Xiao Hongdou.
It sounded fantastical, but the technique’s cultivation method was found in a stone Xiao
Hongdou had chosen for him.
