Chapter 234: You Are Not Qualified to Say Such Things
The Glazed Pure Body.
It could be said to be one of the rarest physiques in this world. Looking back at the entire history of the Chenping Continent, those who possessed this physique were without exception, all women.
Furthermore, according to historical records, the Glazed Pure Body seems to have only appeared about a dozen times in total, and the timings never overlapped.
The first Glazed Pure Body belonged to the Pure Dust True Person from Heavenly Summit Mountain, a great power at the Immortal Ascension Realm active over seventy thousand years ago.
This Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator was also active on the historical stage of the Chenping Continent for over ten thousand years. The greatest impression she left on the world was her fiery temper.
Because of this, the Pure Dust True Person also became enemies with True Person Kongmiao, Yan Yunhe, who was active during the same period.
The Pure Dust True Person, who presided over the Heavenly Summit Palace at that time, had considered several times to take action and annihilate the Kongshan Sect, but ultimately never did.
The reason was simple.
On the ferry heading towards the Northern Region of the Chenping Continent.
After the hijacking crisis was resolved and everyone woke from their unconsciousness, the ferry resumed its journey and had now crossed the area of Heavenly Summit Mountain.
No one knew what exactly had happened after that.
They just continued sailing in a daze.
Inside the cabin.
Chen Yan, Mr. You, and the little girl sat together at a square table.
The little girl's name was Si Youyou.
The little girl's parents were originally a pair of Qi Circulation Realm cultivators working together at the Ningshi Mountain Ferry. Later, her father was set up by someone in the ferry's Gambling Den, losing all his money and even incurring a huge debt.
With the family destitute, the creditors demanded her father use her to settle part of the debt.
Having no other choice, her mother sold the pill she had originally prepared to break through to the Martial Spring Realm, exchanged it for two high-grade spirit stones, and put her on a ferry heading to the Northern Region, the farthest from the Southern Region.
Unbeknownst to them, the original purpose of the scheme against her father was precisely targeting their daughter.
She was also a pitiful child.
Chen Yan couldn't help but sigh with such emotion, looking at the little girl sitting beside him.
If every Glazed Pure Body is a reincarnation of the Pure Dust True Person, then...
The image of Qin Yue, who was once nailed to the Heavenly Summit Palace, involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
"Mr. You."
Chen Yan spoke up:
"Will a great power who reincarnated after Ascending to Immortality remember the memories of their previous lives?"
"Yes."
Mr. You picked up the teacup in front of him and took a small sip:
"However, those memories are all like meaningless dreams."
Indeed.
For a great power at the Immortal Ascension Realm, everything is fleeting.
And now, Si Youyou beside him could also be considered a completely unrelated person to the former Qin Yue.
One was Princess Qin, who was pampered and privileged, exceptionally talented, smooth-sailing since childhood, with a delicate and soft personality.
The other was a little girl, Si Youyou, who had experienced hardship since childhood, thrown onto a ferry by her own mother, traveling alone across nearly ten million li.
Thinking about it, it really is miraculous.
"Mr. You, so what should we do next?"
Chen Yan asked.
"Go to Wind Ravine Valley, obtain the Nine Revolutions Chaotic Heaven Meridian Forging Pill, and repair your meridians."
Mr. You replied.
"No, I mean, what should we do with her."
Chen Yan asked again.
"I don't know."
Mr. You shook his head.
"You don't know?"
Chen Yan was also taken aback:
"So Mr. You, the reason we saved this child is..."
"Intuition."
Mr. You answered succinctly.
...
Chenping Continent, Northwestern Region.
Kongshan Sect, Mingxiao Peak Ferry.
Inside the Mingxiao Tower, a cold, aloof fairy dressed in white with ink-black hair sat alone in a private room of the Mingxiao Tower. Expensive pastries were laid out on the table before her.
After a while, the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside.
"Chief Disciple Cheng, please!"
The voice of a waiter from the Mingxiao Tower came from outside the door.
Chu Xiyao slightly lifted her eyelids and looked towards the doorway.
A woman wearing Mingxiao Peak's daoist robes, with bright and beautiful features, stepped slowly into the private room. The door behind her was closed from the outside by the tavern's waiter.
"Chief Disciple Chu, you asked for me."
Cheng Ziying spoke.
Chu Xiyao gave a slight nod and said:
"Sit, Chief Disciple Cheng."
"......"
Cheng Ziying didn't speak, took two steps forward, and then sat down at the table as Chu Xiyao had said.
For a moment, silence fell within the private room.
After Cheng Ziying became the Chief Disciple of Mingxiao Peak, Chu Xiyao had many opportunities to meet with her in recent years.
But Chu Xiyao didn't know why. This Chief Disciple junior sister from Mingxiao Peak had always maintained a very distant and cold attitude towards her. It wasn't her inherent nature to be like this; she was only like this towards Chu Xiyao alone.
Chu Xiyao's attitude towards this was indifference.
She had always been aloof by nature, unwilling to socialize. This time, coming to the Mingxiao Tower at Mingxiao Peak, lowering her status to actively seek out Cheng Ziying, was entirely the intention of her father Chu Chen and Elder Fu.
Over the past two years, the Qingchan True Dharma lineage had gradually developed, and the Qingchan Martial Discipline lineage naturally needed to further expand its influence.
For this reason, while trying to win over Lu Li, they also wanted Chu Xiyao to compete for the sect's position of Daomen Xingzou.
Under the current circumstances, if she wanted to compete for the Daomen Xingzou position, Chu Xiyao's biggest competitor would be this Chief Disciple of Mingxiao Peak, Cheng Ziying.
In fact, Fu Qian was skeptical about whether Chu Xiyao could lead over Cheng Ziying in the competition for Daomen Xingzou.
Because Chu Xiyao's personality was more aloof, not good at socializing.
But Cheng Ziying appeared brighter and more approachable.
The Daomen Xingzou was essentially the sect's external spokesperson. Compared to cultivation level, social skills might be more important.
It was precisely for this reason that Fu Qian had Chu Xiyao come to build a good relationship with Cheng Ziying. Even if she didn't win the Daomen Xingzou position, it would be best to have a slightly better relationship with Cheng Ziying.
But Chu Xiyao simply didn't understand how to build good relationships with others.
First, she needed to find common ground with the other person.
Common ground between herself and Cheng Ziying... similar age, both Qi Sea Realm cultivators, both Chief Disciples of their peaks. Other intersections, for example, mutual acquaintances...
Chen Yan.
The name of this deceased Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain appeared in Chu Xiyao's mind.
She had heard that this Chief Disciple of Mingxiao Peak, when she was still in the outer court, had a very close relationship with Chen Yan.
Perhaps she could use this point to close the distance between them.
Chu Xiyao thought to herself.
"It suddenly occurred to me, Chief Disciple Cheng came from the outer court."
Chu Xiyao spoke.
"Mhm."
Cheng Ziying nodded.
"This reminds me of an old acquaintance. The former Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain, Chen Yan, also came from the outer court. It's just a pity that heaven envied his talent..."
"You are not qualified to say such things, Chief Disciple Chu."
Chu Xiyao's words were cut off by Cheng Ziying before she could finish.
And the atmosphere in the room became even colder than before.
