The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 681 - 231: Sikong Yan, Man in White, Nannan (6k)

Sikong Yan's originally stern face flashed with a hint of surprise: "Divinity Transformation?"

Wu Sha quickly responded: "Yes, it has been confirmed repeatedly."

Sikong Yan slightly nodded, murmuring in a low voice: "This is interesting. No wonder he's capable of killing the top five geniuses of our sect."

"Palace Master, this person is too dangerous, and his growth rate is extremely fast. Should we..." Wu Sha raised his head, a trace of fierceness flashing in his eyes.

Sikong Yan's eyes narrowed instantly, a cold gleam flashed, his face showing displeasure.

Seeing this, Wu Sha's face turned deathly pale immediately, fearfully exclaiming: "Subordinate knows his mistake!"

"I seem to have told you many times, I don't like others telling me what to do, no matter who it is!"

Sikong Yan said coldly, making one shudder.

Wu Sha repeatedly kowtowed, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Scram!"

"Yes, subordinate takes his leave!" Wu Sha, as if granted amnesty, quickly crawled away on all fours.

Sikong Yan's gaze became deep as he stared at the water surface silently for a long time, lost in thought.

Suddenly, the fishing rod in his hand lightly trembled.

His previously calm face flashed with a hint of surprise. Immediately, he steadily grasped the fishing rod with both hands, his movements seamless as he swiftly lifted the rod.

The fishing line broke through the water, and on the hook was a small fish, its violent struggle causing water droplets to splash everywhere.

"Too small, can't even fill a stomach, really of no help at all!"

Looking at the small fish, Sikong Yan shook his head with some regret, gently unhooking it and throwing it back into the water.

Then, he turned his gaze to the willow tree across the creek.

At this moment, a figure in white was standing quietly on the tree crown with his back to him, his robes fluttering, cold and lonely, seemingly out of place with the world's noise.

Sikong Yan cast the line again and then asked: "When did you come back?"

"Not long ago, just returned!" The voice of the person in white was cold.

Sikong Yan frowned slightly and said: "It shouldn't be this fast, did you finish the task?"

"No, I encountered Lu Yuanchen, that's all!" The person in white paused and said.

Sikong Yan was somewhat surprised, frowning: "Didn't she change her name to Yue Chen and become Consort Chen? Why, do you still have feelings for her, are you avoiding her?"

"You don't understand, because you didn't inherit these memories, whereas I am lately trying to cut off all ties related to her." The person in white said calmly.

Sikong Yan slightly nodded and said: "I see, alright then, do as you see fit."

"Uncle, who are you talking to?" At this moment, a little girl came bouncing over, her eyes wide open, looking around curiously.

But looking around, there were only the two of them here.

Sikong Yan smiled slightly, gently tapping the little girl's nose with his hand, and said: "Uncle is talking to you, let's go, no more fishing today, let's go home."

"Okay, going home!"

The little girl immediately became so happy that she twirled and jumped. Shortly after, on the slope where she once played, there appeared countless figures in black, their eyes hollow, like puppets being controlled, silently following behind them.

...

After the banquet, Zhou Qing also returned to the courtyard that he had not seen in a long time.

The courtyard was still the same, but to Zhou Qing, even though it had only been a few years, it felt like a lifetime apart.

After using two Dust-removal Talismans to clean it up, Zhou Qing glanced at the old hen that completely ignored the courtyard's restriction and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

According to Second Uncle, it had to be taken into the coffin next.

Even though it went through another transformation under the nourishment of Spirit Stones, would it be obedient?

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing immediately placed a jade slip at the center of the courtyard, then carried the old hen outside.

"Chick, help me fetch it!" Zhou Qing pointed to the jade slip, patting the old hen's back expectantly.

The old hen drooped its eyes and slowly walked through the courtyard's barrier, then pecked aimlessly at the ground.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing covered his eyes speechlessly.

"Failed!"

...

In the next few days, Zhou Qing began to fully memorize the jade slip given by Zhang Wanbao.

If one day he missed a real treasure due to not recognizing it, it would be truly maddening.

Compared to Zhang Wanbao's Golden Core Realm, Zhou Qing's Spiritual Power was vastly more immense.

With the amplification of Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, his speed in memorizing these complicated contents was incredibly fast.

In less than half a month, he had completely memorized all the contents of the jade slip.

Such good things should not be kept to oneself, especially since his sect needed such support.

Zhou Qing immediately made several copies and gave them to Yan, his master, Lu Yaoyao, and even Master.

"Is it really so complete? Not bad!" Cao Zhengyang was overjoyed upon seeing the jade slip.

He still remembered the last time Zhou Qing returned from the academy, he left him several first-level arrays, and this time it was even better.

Zhou Qing smiled slightly and then seriously asked: "Master, what about the Nine Nether Lotus Seed?"

Cao Zhengyang put away his smile, his expression became heavy: "One Supreme Elder has already failed. Fortunately, she was lucky and didn't suffer severe backlash, but her Spiritual Power significantly increased instead."

Zhou Qing was somewhat regretful upon hearing this.

"What about the other sects?" Zhou Qing continued to inquire.

Cao Zhengyang shook his head, helplessly saying: "The matter of the Nine Nether Demon Lotus is highly confidential within the Five Sects. Who took it, where they are in seclusion, whether they succeeded or not, none of this information can be found."
