LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 33 - Qing Yu Appears
Three days later.
Ning Huanhuan’s face was filled with a smile.
At this moment.
There were six palaces floating above her Dantian Spirit Sea!
This meant that Ning Huanhuan had now reached the sixth level of Dao Palace!
This speed and result was far beyond Ning Huanhuan’s initial expectations.
“Now that I have the strength of the sixth level of the Dao Palace, I will definitely be able to bring glory to Little Bamboo Peak in this Sect Martial Arts Tournament!”
“And…”
Ning Huanhuan’s eyes became fierce as she looked in the direction of Taixuan Sect:
“From now on, no one will be able to bully me casually!”
“I will get back everything taken by those who bullied me!”
“Who bullied you?”
Suddenly, Xiao Lingchen’s voice came from beside her.
When she turned around, she saw Xiao Lingchen, who had changed into clean clothes, handing her two fruits and smiling at her.
Ning Huanhuan took the fruit and bit into it.
She couldn’t help but mutter:
“How come you’re still so energetic? Aren’t you tired?”
Xiao Lingchen laughed:
“What’s the big deal?”
You must know that he and Yue Lianyi have been fighting in the secret chamber of the secret realm for a full three months!
These few days are nothing.
Xiao Lingchen asked again:
“You still haven’t answered me. Who bullied you?”
After spending three days together, the relationship between the two of them had eased and even warmed up a lot.
Now that Xiao Lingchen asked,
Ning Huanhuan didn’t hide it either.
She told Xiao Lingchen what had happened to her.
When Ning Huanhuan was young, she was just a little beggar who begged on the street in Tianxuan Country.
When she was bullied, she was discovered by her elder sister Yun Zhanyi, who took her in and made her a disciple of Tianxuan Clan’s Little Bamboo Peak.
This was the happiest time in Ning Huanhuan’s life.
With her master and elder sister, she thought she had a family.
But who knew that life at Little Bamboo Peak was no better than before.
It was true that after joining the sect, she no longer had to worry about her daily food and clothing, but the power struggles among her fellow disciples made Ning Huanhuan feel like dying.
Liu Yue, Song Ling’er, and the others were even more hateful than ordinary mortals.
Relying on their long time in the sect and their strength, there was almost no one in Little Bamboo Peak who was not bullied by them.
Especially Ning Huanhuan, because of her beggar status before joining the sect, she became the focus of Liu Yue and the others’ bullying!
Every month, as soon as the sect distributes the spirit stones and pills, she is completely looted by them.
Whenever they found any resources on them, they would take them by force. Sometimes, they even broke into Ning Huanhuan’s cave and took whatever they wanted!
Ning Huanhuan had complained to her master and eldest sister.
But almost every time, it was left unresolved because there was no evidence.
Sometimes, Liu Yue and the others would even accuse her of something and punish her.
After that, they would continue to take revenge on her!
Sometimes they would beat her up, sometimes they would deliberately destroy some things in the sect, poison some spirit beasts, and frame Ning Huanhuan.
Every time they took revenge, they made Ning Huanhuan suffer.
There were even several times when she almost died at their hands!
So every day, Ning Huanhuan worked hard on her cultivation and found ways to become stronger.
Just so that one day, she would be strong enough to never have to suffer their bullying again!
After listening to Ning Huanhuan’s account, Xiao Lingchen said:
“So that’s what happened.”
Ning Huanhuan suddenly said:
“We cultivators should cultivate step by step and rely on our own abilities. I really had a reason to find you this time, and I had to get stronger quickly.”
“Don’t worry, I’m satisfied with my current realm, and I won’t bother you again from now on.”
Xiao Lingchen laughed:
“Are you going to take advantage of me and then leave?”
Ning Huanhuan was at a loss for words for a moment.
When she heard Xiao Lingchen say that, she felt like a dirty woman who had abandoned her husband and child.
After thinking about it, this was indeed not good.
Ning Huanhuan said,
“I won’t eat for free. Since you let me break through this time, I will remember this favor.”
“After I get back all the resources that were taken from me in the past, I will definitely give them to you with both hands!”
“And in this Sect Martial Tournament, I will definitely be able to help Little Bamboo Peak reach a high rank. Since all of this is a reward given to me by my master, I will also give you half!”
After saying that, Xiao Lingchen naturally had nothing more to say.
Instead, he asked curiously:
“You also mentioned the Sect Martial Arts Tournament just now, what is it?”
Ning Huanhuan looked at Xiao Lingchen and replied:
“The Sect Martial Tournament is a competition held by our Taixuan Sect every five years. The disciples from each sect participate, and the sect with the highest rank receives more resources for cultivation.”
“I don’t want to be bullied anymore, and that’s just one of the reasons why I want to get stronger. Another reason is that I want to help Little Bamboo Peak get a good ranking!”
“In the past few sessions, our Little Bamboo Peak has always been ranked at the bottom, and as a result, Little Bamboo Peak’s resources are much lower than before, making it difficult for the disciples to improve their cultivation. The new disciples are also reluctant to enter our Little Bamboo Peak. If this continues, our Little Bamboo Peak will decline day by day.
“Therefore, I want to become stronger, help the eldest sister, and help our Bamboo Peak gain a good ranking.”
After he said that, Ning Huanhuan couldn’t help but feel surprised:
“Aren’t you the Grandmaster’s personal disciple? How can you not know that?”
Xiao Lingchen said honestly:
“Master has never told me any of this.”
All in all, Xiao Lingchen had only been in the Taixuan Sect for three months.
And since he was either practicing or meditating almost every day, his master had never mentioned any of this.
He had never even mentioned the rules of the sect.
Ning Huanhuan nodded thoughtfully.
Then she asked:
“So are you going to participate in the Sect Martial Arts Tournament?”
“I have heard that this Sect Martial Arts Tournament is different from the past. It is no longer an internal competition within the Taixuan Sect, but a joint competition with more than a dozen first-class forces in the entire Tianxuan Country!”
“In other words, this Sect Martial Arts Tournament is not only a competition between our peaks, but also a competition between the major sects, involving the honor of the entire Taixuan Sect.”
“It is said that for this Sect Martial Tournament, each major sect has offered many benefits as prizes, as incentives for the first sect. And the person who comes in first in the Sect Martial Arts Tournament will even get a chance to enter Zhenwu Space.”
Xiao Lingchen asked,
“What is Zhenwu Space?”
Ning Huanhuan knew that Xiao Lingchen had not been in the sect for long and did not understand many things.
So she patiently answered him,
“To put it simply, the Zhenwu Space is a super secret realm. No one knows how this secret realm came to be, but the resources within it are extremely abundant, and there are even opportunities within it that ordinary people cannot imagine.”
“Anyone who has entered the Zhenwu Space before has benefited greatly.”
“For example, my master once entered the Zhenwu Space and received a No-level magic weapon and an inheritance. There is also Empress Baiyi, the ruler of Tianxuan Country. After entering Zhenwu Space, she also received a mysterious treasure. At that time, the border army invaded, and it was with this mysterious treasure that Empress Baiyi repelled the enemy army and protected the peace of Tianxuan Country for two thousand years. There is also Grandmaster Yunzhu of Great Bamboo Peak, the Ancestor of the Tian Yan Sect, and the Grandmaster of the Beast Sect. All of these people have received opportunities from the Zhenwu Realm.
“The Zhenwu Secret Realm is jointly guarded by Tianxuan Land and the thirteen first-class martial sects of Tianxuan Land, and only those who have made great contributions can enter.
“In this sect martial arts tournament, the goal of almost all the disciples is to enter the Zhenwu space.”
Ning Huanhuan looked at Xiao Lingchen and couldn’t help but ask curiously,
“As the Sectmaster’s personal disciple, and with such a generous reward in this Sect Martial Arts Tournament, you should participate as well, right?”
Before Xiao Lingchen could say anything, there was a sudden shout from outside:
“Second Brother, where are you?”
“Second Brother! Father is looking for you!”
Upon hearing the cry, Xiao Lingchen flew out with Ning Huanhuan.
The person who shouted was a boy of about eight or nine years old.
He was Xiao Lingchen’s younger brother, Xiao Yan.
Xiao Lingchen went up to him and asked:
“What does Father want with me?”
When Xiao Lingchen appeared, Xiao Yan was excited as if he had seen an idol and said:
“I don’t know either. It seems that a woman has come to see you. According to her, your master sent her.”
“I don’t know what this is about either.”
Xiao Lingchen patted his head and said:
“Okay, I understand. You go practice!”
After that, Xiao Lingchen took Ning Huanhuan and left the secret realm of the Creation Cauldron, arriving at the Xiao Family Hall.
At that moment, Xiao Tan and Xiao Huan were both in the family hall.
They were entertaining a beautiful woman dressed in a green palace outfit with a reserved aura.
Upon seeing Xiao Lingchen arrive, Xiao Tan immediately introduced him:
“This is my son, Xiao Lingchen.”
Qing Yu smiled brightly:
“Hello Lingchen, my name is Qing Yu. Your master told me to come.
When Xiao Lingchen first went down the mountain, Qing Yu was ordered by Jiang Luoxian to secretly protect Xiao Lingchen.
For the past few months, she had been silently following Xiao Lingchen and protecting him almost without fail, except when she was in the secret realm of Qian Yun Mountain.
It was only today that she appeared to meet Xiao Lingchen for the first time.
Her purpose was to deliver a matter that Jiang Luoxian had instructed her to deliver.
