Chapter 58: Truth

"Let's go, Junior Brother!"

After coming out of Master Yu Ning Palace, Zhao Linger took He Pingsheng's hand: "Let's go to Old Eight He's place to drink some spirit tea and chat!"

Beside them, the eighth, Xu Kunlun, and the seventh, Tian Xiaoqing, were all looking at He Pingsheng!

Both were full of anticipation.

"Fine... let's go!"

He Pingsheng naturally couldn't be unappreciative, so he agreed directly.

"Hahaha..." The big fatty Xu Kunlun was overjoyed: "Great, let's go, let's go, Ninth; let me tell you, I have spirit tea there, I guarantee you'll be satisfied after drinking it!"

"Let's go!"

At first, He Pingsheng thought these people were trying to win him over because they wanted him to help them refine elixirs.

He didn't refuse, thinking that refining elixirs was fine; refining one more furnace a month was enough.

But he was wrong.

The other party didn't have the intention of letting him refine elixirs.

Walking into Xu Kunlun's small courtyard, everyone sat down in his room.

Xu Kunlun said: "Come, come, come, drink tea... this time we gathered, it's for the upcoming 【Cuiping Mountain Trial】."

While pouring tea for everyone, he said: "This thing happens once every thirty years; none of us have been in, but it's said to be very dangerous. The senior brothers are all at the small perfection or great perfection of Qi Condensation, and they won't bring us along; the four of us who are in the late stage of Qi Condensation can only play together!"

He Pingsheng nodded.

That was true.

Among the nine disciples under Master Yu Ning, the first five were at the tenth layer of Qi Condensation and above; this was the perfection stage of Qi Condensation.

The five of them usually stayed together and generally didn't bring Xu Kunlun and the others.

"I'll say one thing first!" Xu Kunlun said: "We are all of the same sect; we are not brothers and sisters, but we are better than brothers and sisters. Later, when we get to that mystic realm, the four of us will work together to find opportunities!"

"The treasures obtained will be distributed according to everyone's contribution; is that okay?"

Xu Kunlun looked at the few people.

"I have no opinion!" Zhao Linger raised her hand to indicate agreement.

Tian Xiaoqing said: "I have no opinion either!"

He Pingsheng also said: "I have no opinion!"

For He Pingsheng, having a team to advance and retreat together was the best thing.

He didn't think that he, a mere seventh-layer Qi Condensation disciple, could encounter any heaven-defying opportunities after entering.

Of course, he was only at the sixth layer now; the seventh layer was something for later.

"Fine!" Xu Kunlun said: "It's a deal... also, wait for the Ninth to break through; after he breaks through to the seventh layer, we'll go to Matou Mountain together to buy some self-defense items, just in case!"

Everyone naturally had no opinion.

After speaking, Xu Kunlun looked at He Pingsheng solemnly: "Junior Brother He, I wasn't in the sect some time ago; I heard you were nearly swallowed by that beast raised by Senior Uncle Yude?"

He Pingsheng nodded: "Yes... I can't blame the beast; it was someone plotting against me!"

"I understand!" Xu Kunlun said: "It must be that little bitch Linglong... damn it, if she falls into my hands later, I'll definitely..."

Looking up at Tian Xiaoqing and Zhao Linger beside him, Xu Kunlun suddenly felt that saying it like that wasn't appropriate, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Kill her; this woman is too arrogant, too bitchy..."

"Junior Brother, you don't know, she relies on being the granddaughter of Senior Uncle Yude and has harmed quite a few people over the years!"

"Before, inside the elixir refining room on our Xiuzhu Peak, there was a pill boy named Hao Yun..." Xu Kunlun counted with his fingers, listing them like family treasures: "She went to the elixir refining room to refine elixirs, but failed, and blamed it on Hao Yun!"

"She beat Hao Yun half to death, but Hao Yun somehow got a top-tier 【Jin Gu Dan】 and ate it; the little bitch, in order to get the source of that 【Jin Gu Dan】, tortured Hao Yun for a whole night!"

"Hao Yun's mouth was tough enough; he didn't say anything until he died!"

"In the end, he was killed by the little bitch!"

He Pingsheng appeared calm, but layers of huge waves rose in his heart: Wang Shixiong Hao, you didn't betray me even until you died.

"Sigh..." Tian Xiaoqing sighed and said: "So what?"

"Hao Yun was just an outer sect disciple with no foundation, while Linglong is the granddaughter of Senior Uncle Yude; although she beat Hao Yun to death, wasn't she only punished for seven days in the end?"

"That's a human life!"

"And some time ago, she tried to frame Junior Brother He but failed, and didn't the young Daoist Mingzhu die too?"

"This was also killed by her!"

Tian Xiaoqing's face was pale: "Two human lives, gone just like that; this woman is truly ruthless!"

"That's not all!" Xu Kunlun continued: "I remember some years ago, when I was only at the fifth layer of Qi Condensation, at that time, this Linglong killed a couple; back then, there was an outer sect disciple named He Sanjie, who was swallowed alive by the giant python commanded by Linglong because of some matter that angered her!"

He Pingsheng's body jolted violently.

He Sanjie?

He Sanjie?

Isn't this my father?

"Then..." he asked somewhat flustered.

Xu Kunlun said: "Then? Then He Sanjie's Daoist companion came to reason, and was beheaded by Senior Uncle Yude; sigh... this woman is truly... evil-doing!"

He Pingsheng closed his eyes gently and took a deep breath.

He tried hard not to let his tears flow out.

He tried hard to keep himself calm!

Father!

Mother!

So this is how they died?

Back then, Uncle Jiang told him that his father was killed by a monster while going out, and his mother went to find the monster to avenge his father, and was also killed.

It turned out it wasn't a monster.

It was people!

It was that pair of grandfather and granddaughter, Linglong and Yude.

"Junior Brother He!" Zhao Linger looked at He Pingsheng and said: "What's wrong with you?"

He Pingsheng's face was a bit pale; he opened his eyes, smiled reluctantly, and said: "I... am a bit scared..."

"Also a bit lingering fear!"

"Don't be afraid!" Zhao Linger reached out and patted He Pingsheng's shoulder: "It's all in the past... just be careful when you see her in the future!"

"By the way!" Tian Xiaoqing suddenly said: "I'm just afraid that Junior Brother He offended Linglong; if we go to the mystic realm trial this time, what if she targets us?"

"What are you afraid of?" Xu Kunlun banged the table and said: "When the time comes, the four of us will be together; I don't believe she still dares to come and kill us to silence us?"

Tian Xiaoqing said: "That's true!"

The few of them said one sentence after another, but He Pingsheng didn't interrupt.

He tried hard to keep himself calm.

Connecting some previous events, there was a cause and effect.

He still remembered that when he was a servant with Hao Yun in the elixir room, Senior Uncle Elder Yu Xuan once went to refine elixirs, and when he saw He Pingsheng, he asked, "Do you know He Sanjie!"

He Pingsheng naturally said he knew.

Later, Senior Uncle Elder Yu Xuan also reminded him, saying, "In the future, don't say you are He Sanjie's son in front of outsiders!"

At that time, He Pingsheng was confused.

Now it seems that Senior Uncle Elder Yu Xuan was protecting him, avoiding letting the Yude grandfather and granddaughter know his identity.

Comparing it like this, the enemies who killed his parents matched up.

It was the Yude grandfather and granddaughter. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
