Chapter 178 Bai Minxin’s “Determination”

In your own room.

"Senior brother."

Qiao Qiao covered her chest with her hands, her heart beating non-stop.

The voice and appearance of her senior brother were deeply engraved in her mind.

Her senior brother has been protecting her from the wind and rain since she was young, and it seems that he can do anything.

Not only is he handsome and free-spirited in appearance, he is also the eldest senior brother of the Demon-Slaying Palace and one of the six true disciples of the Qingyang Immortal Sect.

He has a respected status and is a direct descendant of the Chen family. His ancestor is Yuanying Zhenjun.

If I hadn't known my senior brother when I was a child, I would have no chance to get close to him now.

The dignity of bloodline is taken very seriously in Qingyang Immortal Sect and it is a gap that is difficult to cross.

She must get the little mute's things. Only in this way can she continue to get close to her senior brother.
"Om~"

Qiao Song's life card suddenly emitted a faint light. Qiao Qiao had already taken his life card in his hand.

After noticing that Qiao Song had responded, he immediately started communicating.

She scolded in an angry tone:
"Qiao Song, how can you not do a good job in looking after a mortal mansion? Don't forget, your Taoist partner is still in my Qiao family. If you can't do it well again, don't blame me for being rude! The Qiao family has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Since you have received a favor, you should be mentally prepared for this."

"Young lady, Qiao Song understands."

Qiao Song's voice was weak, with a hint of clarity.

"Okay, what happened to you this time? Did Jiang He set an ambush there?"

Qiao Qiao was very impatient, but thinking that this person was still useful, she suppressed her annoyance.

"Miss, you misunderstood. Long Mansion is a base of Yuehua Palace, and Jiang He has always had an irreconcilable feud with Yuehua Palace. His apprentice is Jiang Yuanxia. I guess..."

"No need to say more."

Qiao Qiao interrupted, she pinched her chin and thought,
"If Jiang He wanted to harm me, he would only look for his apprentice. Well, it seems that I really misunderstood him. A casual cultivator like him is as timid as a mouse and dare not attack me. So he chose to trade at the base of Yuehua Palace, which would not let me misunderstand and prevent me from taking action."

She thought about it and was very sure of her idea.

After all, the monks from the Yuehua Palace in the Long Mansion could be easily found as long as she sent people to investigate.

No matter how stupid you are, you wouldn't use such an obvious trap to harm him.

"In this case, it would be difficult for you to ambush nearby. If a fight breaks out and involves the Moonlight Palace, I would not be able to escape unscathed."

Qiao Qiao suddenly sneered, but what could she do if she couldn't escape unscathed?
Compared with the reward from the Dao Lu, she would rather not have this level of cultivation.

At worst, after being reborn in the Longevity Lamp, I can start practicing again from the beginning.

Anyway, I am only at the Qi training stage.
She changed the subject and spoke in a gentle tone: "Qiao Song, my Qiao family has checked your wife's fetus. It is true that your child's bloodline has returned to his ancestral lineage, and his physique is even more extraordinary. He has an immortal bone. Who knows, he may become a true descendant of the Immortal Sect in the future."

"what?"

Qiao Song's clear and transparent voice suddenly became excited. He knew very early on that his child had an extraordinary physique, so he went through life and death outside just to pave a good way for him.

But now I didn’t expect that there was an immortal bone hidden in my body!
Immortal bones are one of the characteristics of ancestral bloodline returning to one's ancestors, and often possess some of the magical powers of the ancestral immortals.

but
Where Qiao Qiao couldn't see, Qiao Song's face was gloomy, and he subconsciously glanced at Jiang He across from him.

Jiang He looked calm and nodded without commenting.

It turned out that the fairy bone came from Qiao Song's nominal son.

In the original text, the Qiao family does have a talented descendant who is a prodigy of the new generation.

He has immortal bones and is young and vigorous.

He wanted to challenge Lin Chi across levels, so he died miserably.

However, the key point is that this descendant is the illegitimate son of the Qiao family's ancestor.
Otherwise, how could atavism occur so easily?

This man went through life and death to work hard for his child, but he didn't know that he had been cheated on.

After Qiao Qiao waited for Qiao Song's emotions to return to normal, he said in a long and solemn voice:
"Qiao Song, I'm not saying that your life is over. Why not create a future for your child? When the time comes, accompany me to ambush and kill Jiang He. I will give you a magic weapon, and killing him will be as easy as killing a chicken. As for the Yuehua Palace discovering us, it doesn't matter. I have the life-saving method left to me by my ancestor, and I can take you back safely."

Getting away with it is a joke.

If we were discovered by them in the heart of the Shengan Religion and were able to escape unscathed, we would be underestimating the Shengan Religion too much.

Qiao Song had a complicated expression. He had been discovered by the people from Yuehua Palace, and was killed by Jiang He before they could wipe out the root of the problem.

Now, it has even become a controlled spirit.

After receiving Jiang He's instructions, he responded:

"As ordered!"

"Okay, you should just recover from your injuries for now. Well, to avoid being noticed, you can just wait for me near the Long Mansion. I will give you a precious elixir to help you recover to your best condition. Don't worry. Remember, don't tell anyone about the little mute!"

Qiao Qiao heard someone calling her outside and gave a final instruction.

Qiao Song foolishly put the jade ring down. The man who had never been afraid even when facing death, now had trembling hands and tears in his eyes.

If the Qiao family knew about this, he would feel like he had betrayed the family and killed Qiao Qiao.

Whether voluntary or involuntary.

His wife and children will have a miserable end.
Jiang He knew his concerns.

In fact, Qiao Song being cheated on was actually a good opportunity for him to win him over.
The spirit controlled by the Xuanhuang Pearl will certainly be absolutely submissive and have no intention of murdering.

But it will not erase the feelings they had during their lifetime.

In fact, this is the magic of the Xuanhuang Pearl. If the spirits it controls are all puppets without souls, then it is not much different from the secret methods of ordinary magic sects.

It allows the spirit to perform the skills and spells used in life, and preserve the understanding of the Great Dao.

For example, Zhao Qiujun is an example. The eldest daughter of the Zhao family has always hated him, but she had to obey him.

But there are also disadvantages. The spirit often has resistance in its heart, which will lead to incomplete combat power.
However, cultivators in the spirit state are already in a state of submission, and they can be subdued simply by resolving their mental knots.

Zhao Qiujun was conquered by him after he told her the truth about the massacre in the Zhao family.

Jiang He pondered for a while, then slowly said, "Qiao Song, is there a possibility that your child is not your child?"

Qiao Song originally looked miserable, but when he heard this, he was stunned.

Although he didn't say anything, from his expression.

Jiang He could also see that he didn't trust his words at all.

He added: "In the history of Qingyang Immortal Sect, has the bloodline ever returned to the ancestors? Has it ever appeared in a collateral disciple?"

"Master." Qiao Song looked struggling. He had never humbled himself like this in his entire life, not even in front of the Qiao family.

But under the control of the Xuan Huang Pearl, he had to lower his head and said,

"Master, you don't know that as long as you have blood, no matter how thin it is, you can revert to your ancestral roots."

Atavism
Jiang He suddenly thought that there seemed to be some connection between the Qingyang Immortal Sect's theory of bloodline and the Divine Inspiration Sect.

He calmed down and sighed:

"How could you not know whether this was a false hope given to you by the Qingyang Immortal Sect?"

Qiao Song was very firm at this moment: "Master, I am a disciple of Qingyang Xianzong. Although I am dull, I will not be deceived by Xianzong. In addition to my child, Xianzong also has other atavistic collateral bloodlines."

Jiang He twitched his lips. It seemed that there were more than one person who was cheated on.

It was actually mentioned in the original text that atavism would only occur in direct lineage.

There seems to be some reason for this
For example, the descendants of direct lineage are extremely rare, while the descendants of collateral lineage can produce offspring normally.

It was like Bai Minxin, who was subjected to magical powers.

He didn't expect to convince Qiao Song with words, so he started thinking about Long Tao.

As he expected, the complete Moon Puppet could only carry one secret technique.

This also means that the Yuehua Palace may be able to control its secret techniques, but may not be able to control the Moon Puppet.

Because the Moon Puppet cannot add other secret techniques.

I wonder if the spirit controlled by the Xuanhuang Pearl can enter the body of the Moon Puppet?
Jiang He suddenly had this thought. The spirit transformed by the Soul-Shocking Bell was very different from the normal spirit. It had an independent consciousness and was almost the same as an ordinary cultivator, except that it had no body and could not practice.

The exceptions were Zhao Qiujun and Ming Kangwen, who had undergone a transformation in the Yuhua Array.

"Qiao Song, try to see if you can get in."

Jiang He instructed, explaining at the same time,

"The original owner of this body has lost his soul, and only the physical reaction remains."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Song tentatively entered Long Tao's body.

Long Tao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly began to tremble.

Eyes struggling to open.

Just when Jiang He thought it was feasible, Qiao Song's spirit came out again.

His soul became more transparent, and he said in horror:

"No, he has been absorbing my spiritual energy. If I stay in my body for too long, I'm afraid he will eat me alive."

Jiang He was a little disappointed. If Qiao Song, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, couldn't bear it, then it would be even more difficult for Zhao Qiujun to do it.

"However, it can be controlled for a short period of time, and it seems that it can also perform a secret method."

Qiao Song added hesitantly.

Jiang He hesitated, watching the foundation-building cultivators of Long Mansion still in helplessness and rage, searching everywhere.

After a brief hesitation, he quietly put the Moon Puppet back.

Jiang He was in a good mood. At least he had the means to restrain himself when dealing with the Moon Puppet.

He couldn't help but look out the window.

Ever since he came back, the white-haired girl has been sitting cross-legged in the yard practicing.

I was so engrossed that I didn't notice him coming back at all.

The long white hair looked like strands of silver hair, and was coated with a layer of golden light by the sunlight.

On the cold and aloof face, you can see fine hairs.

Let her be more childish.

The slender waist tied with a belt can be held in one hand, the breasts are plump, and the girl's budding figure is particularly attractive.

His eyes were slightly closed, and his mind was completely immersed in the Long Li Sword placed on his knees.

It is hard to find even a trace of the innocence of the past in him anymore.

At some point, she opened her eyes and looked over here.

His eyes were like ice mirrors, clear and cold.

Jiang He subconsciously looked away, feeling uncomfortable, but wasn't it all his own fault?
Sure enough, Minxin has always been courageous and determined.

He was somewhat relieved. Even though he was inevitably a little depressed, his own feelings were always secondary to his apprentice.
After Jiang He finished reading, he stood up and opened the door.

He walked towards the white-haired girl who had been looking at him.

"Min Xin, do you need any elixirs or the like? Although Master can't teach you much about swordsmanship, he still has plenty of elixirs for practice."

Jiang He smiled and took out a storage ring as if he was presenting a treasure.

Apart from anything else, Feng Yan has quite a lot of medicinal pills.

Moreover, they are suitable for cultivators in the early and middle stages of foundation building.

These are the pills he carefully selected and prepared for Bai Minxin.

The white-haired girl raised her lips and said respectfully:
"Thank you, Master."

However, her expression was even colder, with a little twisting fire hidden in her eyes.

She glanced at Jiang He, and suddenly took a step back, keeping an appropriate distance.

Then he took it with both hands.

Jiang He almost froze for a moment.

Min Xin actually started to keep a distance from herself.

However, as she stared at her, Jiang He's expression did not change at all, and he handed it to her as if nothing had happened.

Good
Through long-term interactions with his apprentices, he has already honed the ability to control his demeanor.

None of your actions just now should have revealed any inappropriate emotions.

Since my disciple is so determined, I, as her master, cannot cause her any more trouble.

Minxin has always been determined. This thought crossed Jiang He's mind again.

The girl's slender fingers tightly grasped the storage ring.

She calmly put her hands in her sleeves, pursed her lips, looked at Jiang He casually, and said hesitantly:

"Master, since you are here, Min Xin will go back to practice."

"No need, I have to go out later."

Jiang He smiled and habitually reached out to touch her head, but withdrew his hand when he saw her cold eyes.

With his hands behind his back, he asked:

"Where's Jin'er? I'll take her out for a walk later. Minxin, do you want to eat anything?"

Bai Minxin was silent for a while, then shook his head and said:
"Thank you, Master. It's not necessary. I don't care about food. Jin'er is in my room."

Immediately, without waiting for Jiang He to speak, he sat cross-legged on the ground again to comprehend the sword intent.

Jiang He knew that she was devoted to practicing, so he stopped disturbing her.

Pacing towards Bai Minxin's room.

After he left, the white-haired girl opened her eyes, mist filling them.

Why. Even if I treat him like this, he doesn't react at all.

Master, don’t you always say that I’m stubborn?
Why can't you see it now?
"Jin'er, Jin'er?"

The little girl was in a bad mood.

Jiang He came to the conclusion.

He still had a blank expression on his face, and didn't ignore me on purpose.

But it seemed like it was rusty and its reaction was much slower.

She sat on the bed with her two white and tender legs resting on the edge of the bed, just barely reaching the ground.

The little hands unconsciously clenched into fists and placed on his legs like two soft white buns.

Jiang He waved his hand in front of her eyes, squatted down, rubbed her small fist, and placed it in his palm.

She asked softly, "What's wrong? Who bullied my Jin'er?"

"Weird Jiner."

She uttered two words without any beginning or end, her eyes fixed on Jiang He's lips.

Jiang He noticed her gaze and understood.

She thought that the conflict between her and Bai Minxin was because she kissed her.

But that was just the fuse.

There have long been hidden dangers between the two of them.

Jiang He patted her little head: "Don't blame Jin'er, maybe it's good now, let your sister grow up. Otherwise, you will be like a child all day long."

Jiang He really likes Min Xin who depends on him and likes to act coquettishly towards him.

But such a Minxin would only revolve around him and would not have her own world.
