Wang Qianxue shook her head. "You don't need to know about this for now. Your cultivation is too weak; knowing it won't do you any good."

Li Yunjing clenched his hands tightly.

A teacher for a day is a father for life.

Nangong Chengyu took good care of Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing deeply respected Nangong Chengyu.

Now that we know that Nangong Chengyu's death was deliberately caused.

This is a blood feud, Li Yunjing has no choice but to avenge it.

Wang Qianxue understood Li Yunjing's feelings and sighed.

Even so, Wang Qianxue still did not intend to reveal the specifics.

When she first learned of this clue, Wang Qianxue was greatly surprised.

The enemies that Nangong Chengyu faces.

This is simply beyond her current capabilities.

Even Wang Qianxue herself was at a loss, let alone Li Yunjing.

Telling Li Yunjing Li Yunjing only add unnecessary pressure to her.

Actually, Wang Qianxue is starting to regret it.

Tell Li Yunjing about the clues you've obtained.

This has already put pressure on Li Yunjing.

However, after obtaining the clue, Wang Qianxue couldn't sleep at night and was under immense pressure.

That's why I told Li Yunjing the news.

"Master's wife, it's alright if you don't tell me the specific clues, but is there anything else you can tell me?" Li Yunjing said.

Wang Qianxue was taken aback, then thought for a moment.

There are indeed some things I can say to Li Yunjing.

"Now that you ask, there is indeed something I need to tell you," Wang Qianxue said.

Li Yunjing was immediately overjoyed.

"Teacher's wife, please speak quickly."

Wang Qianxue, however, had a strange expression on her face, which also carried a hint of resentment.

"Your master, that scoundrel, has a daughter in the mortal realm. Go and bring her back."

"Huh? Daughter?" Li Yunjing was dumbfounded.

I'm wondering if there's something wrong with my ears.

When did my master have a daughter? I've never heard of it before.

Besides, how could his master keep such a big thing to himself all this time?

As Nangong Chengyu's eldest disciple,

He's about the same age as Nangong Chengyu's eldest son.

I told myself that this was the right thing to do.

I never expected that he wouldn't say a word to me before he died.

Li Yunjing shook his head.

He looked at Wang Qianxue, wanting to say something comforting.

But fearing he might offend Wang Qianxue, he could only swallow his words.

Wang Qianxue continued in a plaintive voice:

"His daughter isn't his biological child. I've found out all about it. He picked her up along the way."

He was frail and sickly, and had always lived in the mortal world.

For some reason, he kept this a secret and didn't tell anyone.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that his master wasn't the kind of person who would act recklessly.

What if his master was having an affair with Wang Qianxue while secretly having a daughter with another man?

That would be truly devastating, like the sky is falling.

Nangong Chengyu's image was completely ruined in Li Yunjing's mind.

Fortunately, things didn't go as Li Yunjing had expected.

However, Li Yunjing was also very curious as to why Nangong Chengyu was secretly raising a daughter.

What secrets does the daughter, whom they picked up along the way, need to keep from Li Yunjing and even Wang Qianxue?

Even on his deathbed, Nangong Chengyu did not reveal this secret.

If something were to happen to her, wouldn't it be a waste of her life?

Tell Li Yunjing and the others that at least they can still take care of them to some extent.

"Yunjing, his daughter is in a place called Jiaohu Town in the mortal realm, named Nangong Ye. Go and bring her back to the Luozhen Sect."

"If he is capable of cultivation, then guide him properly in his cultivation," Wang Qianxue said to Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Master's wife, please come with me."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qianxue's pupils contracted slightly.

She quickly shook her head in refusal. "No, no, you can go alone."

Seeing Wang Qianxue's flustered state, Li Yunjing advised:

"Master's wife, you'll have to face this sooner or later anyway, so let's go together."

Does this mean you and she will never see each other again?

Wang Qianxue's body trembled.

She hadn't figured out how to face Nangong Ye yet.

But rather than saying they hadn't figured out how to face it,

It's less about running away and more about escaping.

However, as Li Yunjing said...

Unless Wang Qianxue intends to never see Nangong Ye again,

Otherwise, we'll meet again sooner or later.

Wang Qianxue was also very curious about Nangong Ye.

Continuing to run away like this is not a solution.

Wang Qianxue sighed.

"Very well, I'll go with you to take a look."

Li Yunjing smiled.

Without further ado, Li Yunjing and Wang Qianxue decided to go to Jiaohu Town immediately.

Matters related to the cause of Nangong Chengyu's death.

Li Yunjing didn't ask any more questions.

Since Wang Qianxue doesn't want to talk about it, then we'll wait until the time is right to ask.

Right now, Nangong Ye's matter is more important.

Li Yunjing and Wang Qianxue left Xunxian Town together.

Jiaohu Town is located west of Xunxian Town.

The distance isn't far, only 800 li.

With Li Yunjing and Wang Qianxue's cultivation levels, they arrived at Jiaohu Town in about a quarter of an hour.

Neither of them revealed that they were cultivators.

Instead, he disguised himself as an ordinary person and entered Jiaohu Town.

Although Wang Qianxue knew that Nangong Ye was in Jiaohu Town, she did not know his exact location in Jiaohu Town.

Having no other option, Li Yunjing could only ask passersby if they knew Nangong Ye.

"Nangong Ye? Isn't that the eldest daughter of the Nangong Household? Everyone in Jiaohu Town knows Miss Nangong's reputation."

Li Yunjing was surprised.

"Where is the Nangong Household located?"

The passerby pointed and said, "Just walk straight down this street, and you'll get there after you turn the corner."

Li Yunjing thanked him and slipped a piece of silver to the passerby.

Then Li Yunjing and Wang Qianxue went straight to the Nangong Household.

Following the directions of the passerby, the two soon arrived at the Nangong Household's residence.

This is a large mansion.

The gatekeepers were six tall martial artists.

These martial artists had all cultivated True Qi, making them quite formidable in the mortal realm.

If given the fortuitous opportunity, these martial artists can use their True Qi to break through key acupoints, thereby sensing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and becoming cultivators.

At this moment, the six martial artists noticed Li Yunjing and Wang Qianxue standing in front of the gate.

The scarred martial artist at the head of the group had a solemn expression.

As the person with the highest level of martial arts cultivation.

He could sense that the two people in front of him were not ordinary.

He stepped forward and tentatively asked:

"Are you two here to visit my young lady?"

Li Yunjing nodded. "Not bad."

The scarred martial artist said, "You two have come at an inopportune time. My young lady is not receiving outsiders at the moment."

Li Yunjing and Wang Qianxue exchanged a glance.

Ignoring the scarred martial artist's words, he headed straight for the Nangong Household.

Upon seeing this, the scarred martial artist immediately ordered his men to attack.

But he found his body frozen in place, unable to move at all.

Looking at the five remaining martial artists at the door, the situation was the same.

The scarred martial artist inwardly groaned.

This means you've met a master.

Li Yunjing then pushed open the door and went inside with Wang Qianxue.

The Nangong Household is very large.

However, it's just so-so for cultivators.

Li Yunjing released his Divine Sense and quickly located Nangong Ye's position.

They went directly to where Wang Qianxue Nangong Ye was.

The servants of the Nangong Household spotted the two along the way. Just as they were about to warn them, they found themselves frozen in place.

The two arrived at the backyard of the Nangong Household.

In the backyard, a little girl, about eight years old, was lying on the ground.

His face was pale, his lips were white, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

When Li Yunjing and Wang Qianxue arrived in the courtyard and saw this scene, they immediately walked over quickly.

As Alchemist, Li Yunjing also possessed some medical skills.

He immediately knelt down to check on the little girl.

First, I took the little girl's pulse.

However, when Li Yunjing placed his hand on the little girl's wrist, he was immediately taken aback.

Wang Qianxue noticed Li Yunjing's unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Yunjing turned to look at Wang Qianxue.

"Master's wife, this child has no pulse!"
