I Need Your Life

After leaving the main hall, Lu Zhengran returned to his residence and immediately took out his Sound Transmission Jade Slip.

He had two choices in this matter.

First, I sent a telepathic message to my father; second, I sent a telepathic message to my aunt.

He really can't solve this problem on his own right now.

His father was certainly capable of handling this matter, but after careful consideration, he felt that his father's involvement seemed inappropriate for everyone involved.

"My father and mother's relationship has reached its end; that's an undeniable fact. Judging from my father's behavior, he has moved on from his previous relationship and has already developed feelings for Aunt Xue. If I drag my father into this, it will be bad for both him and Aunt Xue..."

After pondering for a while, he made a decision and sent a telepathic message to his aunt.

If my aunt can handle it, then I won't bother my father!

A moment later, the transmission was connected.

"Zhengran, what's wrong?"

Xu Yunyi had just stopped cultivating and was preparing to rest for a while before continuing to refine the Divine Crystal within her body when she unexpectedly received a telepathic message from her nephew.

"Auntie, my mother has come out of seclusion, and she has now broken through to the Peak Great Emperor Realm." He first explained his mother's situation.

"Oh, that's good," Xu Yunyi said.

"However, I always feel that old hag Lin Qingxue is hiding something and wants to use Mother!" Lu Zhengran recounted what had just happened and described Lin Qingxue's attitude towards him, word by word.

When Xu Yunyi heard the name Lin Qingxue, her face instantly darkened, and her eyes flashed with murderous intent!

"That bitch!" she cursed under her breath.

"Auntie, what you said last time made me think you really wanted to do something to Lin Qingxue? Maybe even kill her?" Lu Zhengran didn't shy away from the question.

He knew that this was the way of the world; bloodshed was inevitable.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunyi remained silent for a moment, but then made no attempt to hide anything.

"I have a grudge against her, and I almost fell for her trick! Besides, I think she'll definitely do something to betray your mother later! So, I have to kill her! This is the best way to prevent bad things from happening!" Xu Yunyi knew that this child had grown up now, and when talking about such things, she had lost some of her childishness.

It's time for children to know these things.

This is why she doesn't shy away from it.

"Okay! When is your aunt coming back?! Is there anything I can do to help you?!" Lu Zhengran took a deep breath and made his decision.

I helped my aunt kill Lin Qingxue!

"It'll only be a few days! Once I've refined this Divine Crystal within my body, and once your uncle has improved a bit more! Your uncle also emerged from seclusion today, breaking through to the Peak Great Emperor Realm!" Xu Yunyi said.

"Great! Let Lin Qingxue live a few more days! Oh, Auntie! Her cultivation level has suddenly increased! It's probably the same as Grandpa Xiao's when I first went there!" Lu Zhengran quickly shared his discovery, giving his aunt some information.

"Oh? She improved? But, humph, I thought she was that strong! She's just so-so!"

Xu Yunyi assessed her own cultivation level and strength. Even with the effect of the Realm Wall, she was now powerful enough to kill Lin Qingxue!

"It seems Auntie is confident she can kill her! That's good!" Lu Zhengran's eyes lit up.

"Okay! During this time, you should observe her closely. If there are any changes in her, send me a message immediately!" Xu Yunyi was also happy to use her nephew's help to get rid of Lin Qingxue.

"Okay!" Lu Zhengran was full of energy.

On the other side.

Xu Qingying and Lin Qingxue flew off in the same direction.

They arrived at that cave abode.

"Master, is there anything I should be careful about when meeting this Venerable One you mentioned?" Xu Qingying seemed a little nervous.

This concerns her future!

"Just do what I do, and a simple bow will suffice! His Majesty values our worth more!" Lin Qingxue said with a smile.

Xu Qingying nodded.

The two entered the cave abode together and headed towards cave abode deepest part. When they reached the platform, all around was quiet.

Lin Qingxue decisively knelt down, made the same hand gesture as before towards the void in front of her, and called out, "Your Excellency!"

Xu Qingying followed suit and also addressed him as "Your Excellency".

Before long, a golden gate of light suddenly appeared on the platform.

Immediately, a golden vertical pupil appeared within it!

Xu Qingying stared at those vertical pupils and realized they were staring intently at her!

She could even sense a hint of joy flowing through those golden vertical pupils.

"You've finally arrived."

Xu Qingying was stunned for a moment upon hearing the woman's voice.

Is this person a woman?!

"Xu Qingying greets Your Excellency!" Xu Qingying said hurriedly.

"Not bad, not bad, you've finally broken through to the Peak Great Emperor Realm."

Xu Qingying respectfully replied, "Thank you for your attention, Your Excellency!"

"Alright, from now on, I will give you a Divine Crystal at regular intervals. Refine it with all your might and try to raise your cultivation level as quickly as possible!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency!" Xu Qingying quickly bowed respectfully to the man with the vertical pupils, then added, "However, before accepting Your Excellency's favor, may I ask a question first?"

"You say."

Xu Qingying took a deep breath and asked the question she had been wanting to know, "Your Excellency didn't help me improve for no reason. There must be something you need my help with, right?"

She once asked Lin Qingxue.

Lin Qingxue's answer was that she wasn't entirely sure either; she only knew that after they became stronger, they would need to help this Venerable One escape the restrictions of the Cangyun Continent and break out of the outer realms!

They don't need to worry too much about the specifics at first; they need to gain something of value that can be used before they can ask questions properly.

Because of this existence, they could easily choose other people they could exploit!

They are not the only option!

Of course, she wasn't sure if what the other person said was 100% true, or if they had any other bad intentions; she had thought about all of that carefully.

For example, she even wondered if this so-called venerable one might possess her body!

Steal her body!

But after thinking it over carefully, she felt something was wrong. If someone wanted to possess her body, they should have done so already!

The higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to seize a body!

They even kept encouraging her to break through to the Peak Great Emperor Realm, which is even more inconsistent with this conjecture.

Moreover, she had secretly cultivated Cultivation Method to prevent being possessed, possessing a special means to prevent being possessed!

Lin Qingxue glanced at Xu Qingying, then at those vertical pupils, and remained silent.

Vertical Pupil: "It really is time to make it clear to you what I want."

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency, I will do my utmost to Sorrow Relief your doubts!" Xu Qingying said, cupping her hands in greeting.

I need your life.
