"Where are they? I can take you to find them."
Chu Ming was happy for Xiaohong from the bottom of his heart.
"They should all be dead. They died in a great battle. Tiangong has a legacy left to me."
"Is there any inheritance left for you?"
Chu Ming did not expect that the Chongming Bird would still have a legacy, and the mythical beast was indeed a mythical beast!
"Yes, but it took me a long time to receive the inheritance. I don't trust my brother, so I haven't obtained the inheritance for the time being."
Chu Ming was moved and gently stroked its head.
"Don't worry, Xiaohong. My brother is also a great master now and can protect himself. You will set off with the team heading to Tiangong tomorrow. The inheritance is of great importance, so you must not miss it."
Seeing that Chong Mingniao was still hesitant, Chu Ming hurriedly advised, "Only if you are stronger can you protect your brother well, right?"
"Okay, I'll listen to my brother."
After hesitating for a while, it finally agreed to Chu Ming's suggestion.
"Xiao Hong, as long as we are strong, we can avenge your parents. I believe in brother."
Chong Mingniao nodded vigorously, "I believe in brother!"
After talking to Chu Ming, Xiaohong's mood seemed to be better.
Hearing Xiaohong mention his family, Chu Ming also felt homesick. He wanted to go back to Hedong City to see the small courtyard he missed and the loyal Uncle Fu.
Almost at the same time, Wen Shuyue also remembered the courtyard in Hedong City by accident.
She originally thought that she had completely forgotten that experience, but she did not expect that this time she went out for training. The mission location was very similar to Hedong City, which rekindled her memories.
But at this time Granny Shi came to "add trouble" again.
"Saint, can I leave for three months?"
"Of course there is no problem. You just need to report it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Granny Shi's face began to look awkward. Seeing her look, Wen Shuyue knew in her heart that the matters that needed her to deal with should be private matters.
"Don't worry, mother-in-law. I'll say hello to you at the Internal Affairs Hall."
"Thank you Saint."
Seeing Granny Shi leaving in excitement, Wen Shuyue couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"She wasn't originally like this."
Unexpectedly, the palace owner of Guanghan Palace was also here. She didn't appear until Granny Shi left.
"Shi Zhonglan is also the best among the disciples of our generation. She was even once one of the candidates for the Saint. But she didn't expect that she was deceived and ended up giving up. That's why she Big change in temperament.”
Although Wen Shuyue didn't know anything about the older generation, she knew that Granny Shi must have some sad past. She also knew that what Master said must be the truth back then, because Granny Shi had a son, which was known to everyone.
Moreover, her son is extremely incompetent and is quite proficient in other things except for doing business.
Even though Granny Shi invested massive resources, she is still just a Martial Emperor warrior.
"For the sake of this son, she even delayed her own martial arts realm. Many of our generation are not as talented as hers. Now they are all Martial Saints, but she is still just a Martial Emperor."
Luo Jinghong couldn't help but feel sad when he said this.
"Needless to say, she went out privately this time for the sake of her precious son. He is hundreds of years old and still needs his mother's care."
Sect Leader Luo, who usually cherishes his words like gold, started to complain endlessly in front of his disciples.
It can be seen how distressed she is about Shi Zhonglan's situation.
Wen Shuyue stood aside without saying a word. Seeing her look like this, Luo Jinghong felt funny in his heart.
"I won't punish her, don't worry, but it seems you know where she is going."
After Wen Shuyue pondered for a moment, she said, "I guess Granny Shi is going to the Eastern Region."
"Eastern Region? What is she doing there?"
Seeing the gossipy look on Master's face, Wen Shuyue had no choice but to say, "On my way back from the worldly tribulation, I met a disciple of a small sect in the Eastern Region. Granny Shi became interested in talents and wanted to accept him as his disciple." disciple."
"I guess this is the reason for this trip."
"Shi Zhonglan wants to accept a disciple, probably for the sake of her precious son."
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
Wen Shuyue was originally the future master of Guanghan Palace, and her master Luo Jinghong had no interest in this position.
She wished that her apprentice could break through to the Martial Saint level as soon as possible, so that he could naturally ascend the throne, and she could live a relaxing life for a few days. Therefore, Luo Jinghong seized every opportunity to train his apprentice and prepare her to take over as the palace master.
So she asked, "Is there a lack of talented disciples in Guanghan Palace? But has Shi Zhonglan ever intended to accept disciples over the years?"
The master's words made Wen Shuyue fall into deep thought.
"She puts all her energy into her ineffective son, so how can she devote herself to training her disciples?"
Although Wen Shuyue has a "matureness" that her peers do not possess, she is still young after all and cannot compare to her experienced master.
"Grandma Shi has other plans for that girl, or maybe it's for her son."
"And being able to make her go to great lengths to travel long distances, there should be secrets in this woman that we don't know about."
Luo Jinghong glanced at Wen Shuyue with admiration. In comparison, what she lacked now was just experience.
With good practice, she can rest assured that Guanghan Palace will be handed over to her in the future.
"Shi Zhonglan used to put the sect first, but what about now?"
Seeing the disappointed expression on her master's face, Wen Shuyue asked calmly, "Who was it that abandoned Granny Shi at the beginning of the chaos?"
Luo Jinghong glanced at Wen Shuyue, "This was not a secret back then. Anyone who was willing would know that that person was the second elder of the Boundless Holy Land."
"Immortal Holy Land? You can still be in a high position after doing such a despicable thing. Is there no one to uphold justice?"
"Hmph, those hypocrites!"
As if he felt that he had made a mistake, Luo Jinghong hurriedly made up for it, "This is a matter of mutual consent between you and me, so how can we get entangled in right and wrong."
As if he didn't want to have an in-depth conversation on this issue, Luo Jinghong changed the topic and left in a hurry.
Wen Sumyue could faintly feel the contempt and even hostility toward the Infinite Holy Land in her master.
This made her feel incredible. Could it be because of Granny Shi?
Although the master hid this emotion very well, she was still keenly aware of it.
Granny Shi went to the Eastern Territory, letting the emotions she had finally suppressed surge into her heart again. She wondered if the "little chief clerk" was doing well now.
Chu Ming, who was rocking a rocking chair comfortably in his courtyard, was enjoying the afternoon sunshine.
Uncle Fu sat on the chair next to him, looking at Chu Ming who was enjoying himself, and couldn't help but smile with relief.
"Young Master has become thinner, but have you been working too hard these days?"
"Of course it's not as leisurely as it is at home, but overall it's fine. Uncle Fu doesn't have to worry about it."
Seeing Chu Ming's growing body, Uncle Fu was somewhat relieved.
"According to the young master's instructions, the news of your return has not spread. It's just that you met Shopkeeper Li when you came back. He must hold a banquet and entertain you. It's hard to refuse."
Chu Ming thought of the "accidental encounter" this morning and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth with a sarcastic smile.
"Since you can't refuse, Uncle Fu will go to the banquet with me."
After getting Chu Ming's approval, Uncle Fu sent someone to notify Shopkeeper Li.
This period of time was spent in practice, which was a bit too boring. He took over the job of catching the gods and decided to stage a "go to the meeting alone".
At nightfall, Li's carriage appeared outside the door on time, and Chu Ming boarded the carriage calmly and set off.
The groom is a young man who looks like an ordinary person, but is actually a master warrior, but in front of Chu Ming, he is no different from an ordinary person.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived in front of Li Mansion.
Shopkeeper Li, Gu Hong and a group of servants were waiting outside the gate early, giving Chu Ming enough face.
"Master Chu, I haven't seen you for a while, and you have become even more handsome!"
These are not flattering words from shopkeeper Li. As his level rises, Chu Ming's temperament becomes more and more elegant, like a fairy.
After seeing Chu Ming, Honggu couldn't help but scolded in her heart, "Are He Jian and Taiyimen both blind? One has been friends with Chu Ming for many years, and the other has strictly examined him, but they didn't even find out about him." abnormal?"
"Do you need to check this? His temperament is more like that of a cultivator than mine!"
Although she kept complaining in her heart, she still greeted Chu Ming enthusiastically.
Chu Ming didn't seem to pay much attention to her, and entered the mansion accompanied by shopkeeper Li.
"Even though this mansion is related to the surname Li, it is still called Li Mansion as before."
"Mr. Chu was joking. It was all the fault of the shopkeeper of Yahang that led him to take over this mansion."
The matter was brushed aside while talking and laughing, but Honggu always felt that Chu Ming meant something and there was something behind his words.
During the dinner, Chu Ming was chatting and laughing with shopkeeper Li, and Honggu was like a virtuous wife, staying by his side but never taking the initiative to talk to her.
Although no matter how you look at Chu Ming, he is an ordinary person, but Hong Gu firmly believes that he is not simple.
The banquet lasted for about an hour. Chu Ming was a little too drunk and was sent back by Li Mansion's carriage.
When Chu Ming returned home, he did not return to his room. Instead, he sat in the courtyard and drank tea leisurely.
Just after midnight, a dark shadow flew into the courtyard. The first thing he saw was Chu Ming lying on the rocking chair. Their eyes met, and Hong Gu secretly said something bad.
"Are you waiting for me?"
"Honggu."
Chu Ming did not answer, but said her name first.
"Who are you?"
Her voice became a little shrill with excitement.
She never expected that Chu Ming would be the first to call her name.
“Chu Ming.”
This joking reply made Hong Gu go berserk. She drew out her dagger and rushed to Chu Ming in one stride, stabbing him in the throat.
Chu Ming was still lying there with a smile on his face, without any movement, as if he didn't see the dagger coming at all.
