Chapter 737: Kong Jiaojiao

Zhou Qingmei's emotions slowly calmed down.

"Wait for me here. No matter the situation, you must keep your composure!" He Ping patted her shoulder. "Do you see that girl over there? Her name is Kong Jiaojiao, and she is my wife's younger sister!"

"I'm going over to say hello!"

He Ping gestured with his chin toward Kong Jiaojiao.

It was unclear if it was out of timidity, but ever since Kong Jiaojiao entered this great hall, she had kept her head lowered and rarely looked around.

She likely lacked the courage to use her spiritual sense to scan the people in the hall.

Therefore, she had not seen He Ping.

He Ping had no choice but to go over himself.

After comforting Zhou Qingmei, he stood up and walked toward Kong Jiaojiao.

It was not until He Ping reached her that Kong Jiaojiao saw him. Her mouth fell open, and she stood up from her seat in excitement, saying, "Sister... Sister... Brother-in-law?"

"It's you?"

He Ping smiled and said, "That's right, it's me!"

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

As if emotions suppressed for a long time had suddenly found an outlet, Kong Jiaojiao burst into tears. She reached out her hands and hugged He Ping tightly. "Wuu wuu wuu... Brother-in-law, I finally see you! I miss my sister!"

"Where is my sister?"

"Wuu wuu wuu wuu..."

He Ping felt a bit awkward: This girl misses her sister, so why is she hugging me and crying?

Not far from He Ping, a male of the Phoenix race stared at He Ping with venomous eyes.

"Alright!" He Ping reached out and patted Kong Jiaojiao's back. "Your sister is currently cultivating. After the Stone Platform Assembly ends, you can go back with me to see her!"

"Okay, Brother-in-law!" Kong Jiaojiao wiped the tears from her cheeks and smiled again.

He Ping scanned her with his spiritual sense.

Just as Su Zhenzhen had said, this woman was already at the eleventh layer of the Void Refinement Stage.

She was likely encountering a bottleneck.

He Ping specifically asked, "Have you reached a cultivation bottleneck?"

"Mm-hmm..." Kong Jiaojiao said, "Yes, my Master said that he has heavenly treasures that can break through the Void Refinement bottleneck, but he cannot give them to me. He wants me to try at this Stone Platform Assembly to see if I can break through the bottleneck on my own merit!"

"Brother-in-law, it's best not to rely on external forces when breaking through a bottleneck!"

He Ping nodded and asked, "Who is your Master? Is he good to you?"

"Great!" Qiao Xiaoqiao was full of joy and said, "My Master likes me very much and has given me the best cultivation environment and resources. He is a God Emperor of the Undying Tianpeng Diyu!"

He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you talking about Zhao Xiangdu?"

"Hmm..." Qiao Xiaoqiao said: "You know my Master's name too?"

He Pingsheng curled his lip!

"Come, sit next to me!"

Qiao Xiaoqiao pulled He Pingsheng and sat down.

Because they hadn't brought anyone with them when they entered—there were only ten of them—there were twenty seats prepared for them here.

There happened to be an empty seat next to Qiao Xiaoqiao, which was then occupied by He Pingsheng.

"Let me introduce you. This is my Wang Shixiong, from the True Blood Phoenix clan, named 【Huo Ming】."

Qiao Xiaoqiao pointed to a male cultivator beside her.

This male cultivator was tall and quite handsome; he was the one who, just a moment ago, had looked at He Pingsheng as if he wanted to kill him.

However, upon hearing Qiao Xiaoqiao's final words and learning that He Pingsheng was merely Qiao Xiaoqiao's brother-in-law, the anger and hatred on this fellow's face vanished.

"Fellow Daoist Huo Ming!" He Pingsheng cupped his hands.

This person's emotional fluctuations just now naturally could not escape He Pingsheng's spiritual sense, but He Pingsheng couldn't be bothered to argue with him.

"Fellow Daoist He, I have long heard of your great name!" Huo Ming said while cupping his hands: "I have even met your wife, Su Zhenzhen."

This sentence was quite well-spoken, reminding He Pingsheng that he still had a woman.

He Pingsheng smiled.

"Brother-in-law!" Qiao Xiaoqiao asked: "You ascended even earlier than me, yet your cultivation is only at the sixth layer of the Void Refinement Stage. Why are you so slow?"

He Pingsheng said: "In the Spirit Realm, I am considered a rogue cultivator. I basically have no sect or backing to rely on, so I was a bit slow. But it's fine, I've finally reached the Void Refinement Stage!"

"Oh..." Qiao Xiaoqiao said: "My Master is the only Domain Lord of the human race. Why don't you bring Sister and come to our Undying Tianpeng Diyu? My Master will surely be very happy then!"

Before He Pingsheng could speak, Huo Ming interrupted directly: "Fellow Daoist He, you don't mind if I introduce a friend to you, do you?"

He Pingsheng glanced at Huo Ming, then nodded.

Huo Ming waved his hand to the side: "Wang Shixiong Yun Yi, come over... This is He Pingsheng!"

As soon as Huo Ming finished speaking, He Pingsheng saw a man in red robes suddenly turn his head and look toward him.

This was also a handsome man.

"Who?"

"He Pingsheng?"

Yun Yi did not move; he remained sitting in his seat, but the restless Daoist power within him began to surge at this moment.

He Pingsheng felt a thick intent of battle from him.

Even hatred!

This was interesting.

I don't even know you, so this battle intent you're directing at me is a bit unreasonable, isn't it?

"Fellow Daoist He might not know, but my Wang Shixiong Yun Yi has a special fondness for Su Zhenzhen. After pursuing her several times without success, he thought the husband she spoke of, He Pingsheng, was fabricated. Who would have thought it was real!"

"You are Xiaoqiao's brother-in-law, so I am kindly reminding you!"

"My Wang Shixiong Yun Yi is not easy to deal with!"

"Later on, I'm afraid there will be a fierce struggle between the two of you!"

"Of course, I also remind you: on the path of cultivation, all living things look up to heaven and earth. Do not put too much energy into women!"

"For the strong, having many women is a help; for the weak, hehehe... it is a disaster!"

"You should understand this principle, right?"

He Pingsheng wore a friendly smile: "Of course I understand, I'm already this old."

"However... too much talk leads to mistakes. You should also understand the principle that silence is golden, right, my friend?"

He Pingsheng was not someone to be trifled with, and he immediately countered.

This small counter directly sketched out Huo Ming's image as a chatterbox, making him angry again.

And He Pingsheng had long since stood up, dusted off his bottom, and left.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to gently rub Xiaoqiao's head twice.

This action made Huo Ming almost explode.

Watching Xiaoqiao's face turn slightly red, he was so angry that his whole body trembled like a sieve.

"Junior Sister..." Huo Ming recovered after a long while and said: "This brother-in-law of yours is very arrogant. He is simply looking down on everyone!"

Qiao Xiaoqiao, however, had a look of admiration and said: "It's not that he looks down on everyone; it's just that he is very confident. Moreover, no matter what he does, he has great conviction!"
