Fairy Qin

Stepping into the mausoleum, Chen Ning felt a strange sense of familiarity.

He had just met all the people buried there.

Naturally, there are fewer concerns.

Quite casual.

After arriving at the burial site of the previous sect leader, Chen Ning first paid his respects before beginning to dig.

"Master, I'm sorry, but in order to find out the truth, I have no choice but to offend you."

Next came the opening of the coffin.

At this point, Chen Ning suddenly felt a sense of tension.

What if there really aren't any remains of the old sect leader inside?

After a while, Chen Ning subconsciously glanced at the southeast corner.

I was deeply influenced by the tomb raiding novels from my previous life.

But then I thought, I am a cultivator, there's no reason for me to be afraid of this.

He then pushed the top of the coffin open.

But inside...

It was indeed completely empty!

There are no remains of the former sect leader.

"Holy shit!"

This was a truly significant impact.

In an instant, countless question marks appeared in Chen Ning's mind.

Why have the old sect leader's remains disappeared?

Could it have been stolen?

If the old sect leader isn't dead, then where is he?

If he wasn't dead, why would he choose this method to deceive everyone?

There's a lot of information here.

Filled with doubts, Chen Ning walked out of the tomb.

"The Dragon-Seeking Sect is truly mysterious..."

Chen Ning couldn't help but sigh.

The First-Generation Sect Master wanted to investigate the truth, while the second sect leader had deep reservations.

Under the system's verification, the matters investigated by the First-Generation Sect Master even involved legendary events.

The mystery surrounding the remains of the old sect leader is shrouded in countless enigmas.

Furthermore, the sect is now surrounded by wolves, and everyone there is a villain.

It truly is a legendary sect!

If this were made into a novel, it would definitely be a bestseller!

Chen Ning shook his head and smiled wryly, preparing to return to Vermilion Bird Peak.

Since those mysteries cannot be solved for the time being, let's focus on doing the things at hand first.

Wait until you are strong enough.

The day will come when we can stir up the winds and clouds, and all the mysteries will have the power to be solved.

Upon returning to Vermilion Bird Peak, he was surprised to find a card game already waiting for him.

Chen Ning had just entered the courtyard.

Then I saw Cang Yue, Xiao Mei, and Su Ling'er sitting together.

There was a set of mahjong tiles laid out in front of him.

Classic three-player mahjong game.

"Sect Leader, you're finally back."

After the three women stood up and bowed, they eagerly pulled Chen Ning to the table.

Chen Ning suddenly felt a little regretful; she didn't know whether teaching them to play mahjong was a blessing or a curse.

I originally wanted to avoid being alone with one of them.

As a result, mahjong became a medium for this.

Instead, it turned into a daily activity for multiple people.

They had no choice but to bite the bullet and start fighting.

During the shuffling process, Cang Yue and Xiao Mei would inevitably touch their hands, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Ning complained incessantly.

They dodged very carefully.

But the two women seemed to be engaged in a subtle power struggle, their beautiful eyes harboring a hint of competitive spirit.

Chen Ning was focused solely on playing cards.

These two are far too powerful; Chen Ning is not someone to be trifled with right now.

However, this occasion is quite suitable for gathering information.

After Chen Ning finished stacking the cards, he casually asked, "Have any of you ever heard of the Fairy Qin?"

"The Fairy Qin was a female cultivator from eight hundred years ago. She was very powerful and single-handedly established the Immortal Music Palace, which was a very strong female cultivation sect in Spirit Province at that time."

After Cang Yue finished speaking, she looked at Chen Ning with her beautiful eyes and asked, "Sect Leader, why did you think of asking Fairy Qin?"

"Oh, it's nothing, just asking."

The Fairy Qin was an old friend of the three generations of sect leaders.

Chen Ning deduced that there must be a poignant love story between the two.

Unfortunately, they didn't end up together for some reason.

However, the information Cang Yue provided wasn't particularly valuable.

Chen Ning wanted more comprehensive intelligence.

Ideally, it should relate to the current situation of her descendants.

The hint of disappointment in Chen Ning's eyes naturally did not escape Xiao Mei's notice.

Since the sect leader wants to inquire about the Fairy Qin.

That's when it's her turn to perform.

I've been lying in wait for so long Dragon-Seeking Sect.

Their responsibility was to transmit intelligence.

She knew a little about all this intelligence, secrets, rumors, and gossip.

Since Cang Yue is unaware.

She's about to sound the victory horn.

Xiao Mei smiled charmingly and said, "Sect Leader, the Fairy Qin had a tragic love affair with the third-generation sect leader back then."

Chen Ning, who had been listless, brightened up upon hearing this and looked at Xiao Mei, saying, "Tell me in detail."

"The third-generation sect leader was a rare and excellent leader who devoted himself entirely to the sect. He advocated cultivation and also wanted to safeguard the foundation laid by the second generation. He was a crucial generation that carried on the legacy of the past and ushered in the future. But at this very moment, he met that beautiful and ethereal Fairy Qin played the zither, and the two had many in-depth exchanges on cultivation and the development of the sect."

"At that time, the second sect leader died young, passing the position to the young third sect leader. The third sect leader was only slightly inferior to you, the sect leader, and was also incredibly handsome, shouldering the great cause of the Dragon-Seeking Sect. Therefore, it was natural that such a future prodigy was admired by the Fairy Qin, and the third sect leader also developed feelings for her."

"But at that time, the Fairy Qin's sect and the Dragon-Seeking Sect were hostile forces, and they absolutely forbade the Fairy Qin from being with the third-generation sect leader. So the Fairy Qin made a decision that was unconventional at the time..."

At this moment, not only Chen Ning, but also the little girl and Cang Yue were intrigued.

I want to hear more.

Xiao Mei's gentle voice continued, "Fairy Qin was willing to sever ties with her sect for the sake of the third-generation sect leader. However, at that time, this placed the third-generation sect leader in a very precarious position. If Fairy Qin truly betrayed the sect because of him, she would become the target of Denunciation by Tongue and Pen from all righteous sects. This matter quickly alarmed the sect's higher-ups, and they ultimately reached a consensus: they absolutely could not allow the third-generation sect leader to bear such a bad reputation, thereby affecting the sect..."

"According to later generations, the third-generation sect leader secluded himself on Supreme Mystery Peak, observing the plum blossoms for ten days. When he emerged from seclusion, his hair had turned white overnight. From then on, he suppressed all emotions and desires, devoting himself solely to the sect's great cause. Fairy Qin was ultimately expelled from the sect and never married. The Immortal Music Palace she later founded has always been at odds with the Dragon-Seeking Sect, even to this day."

The story is over.

Xiao Mei glanced at Cang Yue with a triumphant air.

Her eyes were like water.

Some intelligence information that Cang Yue couldn't reveal, Xiao Mei could readily obtain.

This is how he gained the sect leader's favor.

Cang Yue's beautiful face remained expressionless, but she secretly gritted her teeth.

I never expected that this vixen would seize the opportunity today.

The little girl, still immersed in sadness, sobbed with red eyes, "The Fairy Qin is so pitiful..."

Then she looked at Chen Ning.

It seemed that Chen Ning might one day become like the Third Generation, betraying her for the sake of his grand ambitions and reputation.

In a flash, I imagined a whole drama unfolding in my mind.

After listening, Chen Ning fell into deep thought.

Something's not right...

If what Xiao Mei said is true, Fairy Qin never married, then why would three generations of people send them to find her descendants?

However, the system has already issued the tasks.

Then it must be genuine.

The Fairy Qin must have descendants!

It seems I'll have to make a trip to the Immortal Music Palace.
