Chapter 400: Just a Joke
Since the appearance of Lingguang Hall, the identity of the Lingguang Hall Master has always been the focus of investigation and discussion by all parties.
But because the Lingguang Hall Master has appeared in public so few times, all parties know very little about her.
But now, after burning the ghost cultivators, the identity of the Lingguang Hall Master finally has a clear direction, which is the Fire Lotus Fairy of Mount Wuzhi.
As a result, all forces sent people to Mount Wuzhi to inquire.
Just when most people's attention was still focused on Mount Wuzhi, a rumor suddenly spread quietly in the capital, saying that Hua Changxi of the Pill Origin Peak of the Medical Department is the Fire Lotus Fairy and the Lingguang Hall Master.
The evidence is that Hua Changxi has a lifelike fire lotus on her brow.
Once this rumor spread, it was like poking a hornet's nest, becoming more and more intense, leading all parties to compete to inquire.
Not long after Hua Changxi learned about the rumor from Yun You, the Mind Link vibrated continuously.
Yan Zhenzhen: "Changxi, it's spreading everywhere now that you are the Lingguang Hall Master. Are you?"
Hua Minghe (Father): "Jiuniang, it's spreading everywhere outside that you are the Lingguang Hall Master. Is this true?"
Yu Fu (Pill Origin Peak): "Master, it's spreading everywhere outside now that you are the Lingguang Hall Master, and many people have come to Pill Origin Peak to ask why you haven't appeared all these years. Jia Lu and the four of us have told the outside world that you are in seclusion to break through."
Pucao (Shennong Hall): "Jiuniang, recently many people have come to the pharmacy to inquire about you, and they even mentioned the Three-Forked Medicine Valley in their words. A'Niu went back to the medicine valley once and found that the Three-Forked Medicine Valley has now been taken over by the Demon Suppression Army, and the whereabouts of Old You and the others are unknown."
An Ran (Mount Wuzhi): "Fairy, in the past month or so, many people have come to Mount Wuzhi, all inquiring about you. Some forces wanted to take the opportunity to create chaos, but were stopped by the Dong'an Prince's Mansion."
After seeing these messages, Hua Changxi realized that the rumors about her had already spread everywhere.
"There isn't even enough time to cultivate, yet they are gossiping everywhere. These people are too idle!"
Hua Changxi rubbed her throbbing head. She had tried very hard to hide her identity, but there were too many sudden events, which inevitably led to the exposure of some information related to her identity.
Regarding the rumors, Hua Changxi was too lazy to struggle. The main thing was that there was really limited action she could take on this matter. She could neither stand up and deny it nor did she want to admit it. She could only leave it to fate and let people guess.
After replying to a few messages, Hua Changxi stopped caring about the rumors and continued to set up the teleportation array.
Private room of the Four Seas Nine Towers.
"Do you think Changxi will reply?"
Yan Zhenzhen looked at Tong Yao and Jing Liao uncertainly.
Tong Yao and Jing Liao looked at each other, and they had no bottom in their hearts either.
Of the ten messages they sent to Hua Changxi, Hua Changxi would not reply to nine of them.
"Buzz~"
The Mind Link vibrated, and Yan Zhenzhen quickly picked it up to look: "It's Changxi, she replied."
After reading the reply, Yan Zhenzhen fell silent.
Seeing this, Tong Yao and Jing Liao were a little anxious: "How did Changxi reply?"
Yan Zhenzhen looked at the two of them and read Hua Changxi's reply with a blank expression: "When rumors are flying, it is the time to prove whether a person possesses wisdom."
Hearing this, Tong Yao and Jing Liao also fell silent.
Yan Zhenzhen was speechless: "What kind of reply is this?"
Jing Liao: "This is her reply."
Yan Zhenzhen and Tong Yao both understood what Jing Liao meant. In fact, the three of them already had an answer in their hearts regarding Hua Changxi's identity; they just wanted to confirm it.
After a moment of silence, Yan Zhenzhen asked again: "Do you think Changxi will come forward to deny it?"
Tong Yao: "Changxi's reply actually makes a lot of sense. Dealing with rumors really tests a person's wisdom."
Yan Zhenzhen: "Just let the rumors spread wildly?"
Jing Liao: "Even if Changxi stands up now and says she isn't, people might not necessarily believe it."
Yan Zhenzhen frowned: "Where did this rumor come from in the first place? Is there someone pushing it behind the scenes?"
Hearing this, Tong Yao said with a wry smile: "There really isn't any conspiracy behind this matter, and the person who spread the rumor isn't someone with ulterior motives. The source of the rumor is just a joke by some people."
Yan Zhenzhen: "What kind of people would make such a joke?"
Tong Yao sighed: "The handyman hall of the Medical Department, those handymen who have seen Changxi and heard Changxi's lectures."
"Changxi has never hidden that lifelike red lotus totem on her brow that looks like a blooming flame."
"They don't know who the Lingguang Hall Master is, and they haven't had contact with who the Fire Lotus Fairy is, but they have seen the lifelike red lotus totem. Those handymen talked to each other, and as it spread, Changxi became tied to the Fire Lotus Fairy and the Lingguang Hall Master."
Yan Zhenzhen and Jing Liao knew how the rumor had spread, and they didn't know how to react.
Xuanyuan Prefecture.
"Impossible, my Jiuniang will definitely not be the Lingguang Hall Master; she doesn't have that ability."
"She is just a little lady. Being able to guard Pill Origin Peak and manage it well is already her limit."
"What kind of person is the Lingguang Hall Master? That is a big shot who commands thousands of Zhu Que soldiers. How would my Jiuniang know about leading troops to fight?"
In the courtyard allocated to the Hua family, facing Qin Feng and Count Dingyuan who had come to inquire in person, as well as the elders of the Hua clan, the old master of the Hua family tried his best to deny that Hua Changxi was the Lingguang Hall Master.
Other members of the Hua family also echoed from the side, all feeling that this was a huge joke.
Qin Feng looked closely at the reactions of the Hua family and smiled: "Don't be nervous. Now that rumors are flying everywhere outside, I just came to ask casually."
He paused.
"Hua Changxi is not doing her job as a junior. You have been in Xuanyuan Prefecture for more than ten years, and she hasn't even come to see you once."
After hearing this, Hua Minghe hurriedly said: "My Jiuniang didn't not come to see us; it's that she encountered problems in her cultivation."
Yao Shi took over the conversation: "Jiuniang told us that ever since she cultivated to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, she has been unable to open the Spirit Platform. All these years, she has been in seclusion to break through."
Qin Feng smiled noncommittally and then looked at Count Dingyuan: "I heard that the ancestral totem of the Hua clan is a lotus flower?"
Count Dingyuan nodded: "Yes."
Qin Feng: "Are there many people in the Hua clan whose bloodline has returned to their ancestors?"
Hearing this, Count Dingyuan looked at the Hua family, his eyes flashing with obvious envy: "Uncle Bin's family has all returned to their ancestors, but less than one percent of the people in the clan have."
Hearing this, Qin Feng raised his eyebrows. The Hua family really had deep luck.
Afterwards, Qin Feng did not continue to ask other questions. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Hua family, he prepared to leave. Before leaving, he looked at Yao Shi and said meaningfully.
"Even if Hua Changxi is not the Fire Lotus Fairy, her twin sister Hua Changxin is the real Green Lotus Fairy. Madam, you are very lucky."
Regarding Hua Changxin, the Hua family knew very little. This was the first time a big shot had taken the initiative to reveal news about Hua Changxin to them.
Yao Shi asked excitedly: "General, is my Shiniang okay?"
Qin Feng smiled: "I don't think it will be long before you can see your daughter."
In the Kunlun Secret Realm, the battle between the human race and the demon race has already had a result. Soon, the people in the secret realm will be able to come out.
After Qin Feng left, only the Hua family, Count Dingyuan, and a few elders of the Hua clan remained.
Everyone was a little silent.
Finally, it was the second uncle of the Hua family who couldn't help it first. He looked at the old master of the Hua family and Hua Minghe and his wife for verification: "Dad, big brother, sister-in-law, Jiuniang definitely won't be the Lingguang Hall Master, right?"
The old master of the Hua family and the eldest couple looked at each other, and none of the three responded.
When the three were silent, the old lady of the Hua family made the final decision: "Unless Jiuniang comes back herself and tells us that she is the Lingguang Hall Master, otherwise, even if the Heavenly King comes, she isn't." ===== CHAPTER 401 =====
