45: Seven-orifice exquisite heart

A smile appeared on the faces of Nangong Xiaotian and his group; things had gone unexpectedly smoothly.

The Sect Leader of Xueying agreed for two reasons: firstly, if it weren't for them, she and her sect would already be dead.

Secondly, the Chang Sheng Sect displayed unfathomable strength; not only were Wu Kuang and the others no weaker than her, but the elegance of Nangong Xiaotian's sword strike was still vivid in her mind, indicating at least a late-stage cultivation or even stronger!

Not to mention there was also an ancestral figure, which was terrifying to consider. Furthermore, the other party stated that their emergence this time was to reach the pinnacle of the Eastern Continent and even the Qingxuan Domain.

Such immense ambition, if not matched by corresponding strength, she would not believe it.

How many people who cultivate to this realm are fools?

"Haha!"

Nangong Xiaotian laughed heartily and said loudly, "Then from now on, we are our own people. If there's anything you can't resolve, just let us know."

With that, he tossed a communication talisman to her, which could communicate over long distances. It was something the Ancestor had found among a pile of resources given to them.

The Sect Leader of Xueying also showed a hint of a smile. She had both preserved her sect and found a powerful backer. It was truly a double blessing!

"We won't stay long. We're preparing to return to the sect. Next time, we'll specifically construct a teleportation array for easier travel."

Seeing that the matter was resolved smoothly, Nangong Xiaotian prepared to return to the sect first.

"Sect Leader, may I be permitted to accompany you back to pay my respects to Senior Lin?"

Liu Qingyue requested.

Nangong Xiaotian was momentarily stunned, then waved his hand, completely unconcerned: "Of course you can. I imagine the Ancestor will be quite surprised to see you too, haha!"

After bidding farewell to the Sect Leader of Xueying and her master, Liu Qingyue came to the side of the Chang Sheng Sect members. The black bead once again transformed into a black hole, ready to initiate the teleportation.

The bead could lock onto a location for teleportation and also set an initial teleportation point for convenient return. It could be activated with a single thought, much like a one-click return to town.

In the cultivation world, it was an extremely rare treasure.

Just as the black hole was shrinking, a black shadow narrowly and timely leaped into it. Everyone looked and saw that it was Wei Shengjin.

Nangong Xiaotian and the others stared at him suspiciously. This fellow had disappeared after being teleported, making it hard not to be suspicious, especially with his previous record. They had reason to suspect his occupational habits had kicked in!

Especially in a sect predominantly made up of women.

Being stared at like this, even Wei Shengjin, whose face was as thick as a city wall, blushed. He nonchalantly looked left and right.

A black flash, and the black hole slowly closed, disappearing from the horrified gaze of the Xueying Sect.

What kind of treasure was this?

It could travel without the aid of a teleportation array—unheard of!

"Oh no, Sect Leader, many of the female disciples' clothes are missing from the sect!"

A voice echoed throughout the entire sect.

Inside the Chang Sheng Sect, when everyone emerged from the black hole, Wei Shengjin was already nowhere to be seen, having clearly slipped away.

Wu Kuang cursed under his breath: "I swear on my character, that old scoundrel definitely didn't do anything good, that's why he ran so fast. He must have a guilty conscience!"

"That old scoundrel is truly bad!"

Yu Linglong, who had remained silent, glanced at him contemptuously and said indifferently, "How is it that I didn't know you had any character?"

Ah, this!

Wu Kuang, rendered speechless and unable to express his anger, quickly found an excuse and scurried away.

Seeing Wu Kuang humbled, Nangong Xiaotian was in a much better mood. He said to Liu Qingyue, "Miss Liu, please follow me. I'll take you to see the Ancestor."

"Alright, thank you, Sect Leader."

Lin Yan, as always, was slacking off in the small courtyard, resting with his eyes closed. Hearing the commotion outside, he nudged the Big Yellow Dog by his feet. The Big Yellow Dog, with an arrogant gait, was the first to open the door.

"Ancestor, I have something to report!"

From a distance, Nangong Xiaotian respectfully called out.

"Come in, the door isn't locked."

Lin Yan's familiar voice came from inside the courtyard.

"Alright!"

Nangong Xiaotian led Liu Qingyue into the courtyard, first flattering the Big Yellow Dog, then walking up to Lin Yan and standing perfectly straight.

Liu Qingyue's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Yan lying in the rocking chair, and she said happily, "Young Master, it's been a long time. This little sister often thinks of you!"

Lin Yan opened his eyes and chuckled, "Miss Liu, is everything well? Has your father's injury healed?"

"Thanks to Young Master, everything is fine. I never imagined Young Master was the Ancestor of the Chang Sheng Sect. This little girl has been disrespectful!"

Liu Qingyue said gratefully.

"No matter, everything is fate. If there's fate, we'll meet again. Your talent is extraordinary, and your future achievements are limitless!"

Lin Yan scanned Liu Qingyue and said seriously.

"Me?"

"Please tell me, Young Master. Although this little girl's aptitude is good, it can't be considered extraordinary. Why such a high evaluation?"

Liu Qingyue was a little confused by his words.

Lin Yan did not speak; the rest was left to the Big Yellow Dog, who had been eager to speak all along.

The Big Yellow Dog rubbed its nose, looking like a charlatan, and said, "I observe that your bones are unique; you are a cultivation prodigy. You are destined for great things in the future, and with my guidance, your future is promising."

While speaking, it couldn't help but raise its head, a look of profound mystery on its face.

Liu Qingyue's expression froze. This Big Yellow Dog said it wanted to teach her. After all, her cultivation was weak, and she couldn't sense its power. She just thought it was a spiritual pet kept by Young Master Lin, speaking nonsense.

It shouldn't be taken seriously!

So she cooperated, saying, "Alright, then I'll trouble Senior Yellow Dog!"

The Big Yellow Dog saw that she was absent-minded and didn't seem to take its words to heart. It coughed heavily, then glanced at Nangong Xiaotian.

Nangong Xiaotian understood and quickly said, "Miss Liu, don't underestimate Senior Yellow Dog. To be recognized by him, your aptitude must be extraordinary."

Seeing the Sect Leader of Chang Sheng Sect speak of Senior Yellow Dog with such respect, Liu Qingyue's heart tightened. To be treated this way by a Sect Leader, it seemed she had underestimated the dogs of the world!

Never judge a dog by its appearance, nor the sea by its measure!

She immediately bowed and said again, "I beg Senior Yellow Dog for guidance!"

The Big Yellow Dog, in its true charlatan nature, spoke meaningfully, "You have a refined heart!"

Liu Qingyue was puzzled and asked, "Please enlighten me, Senior."

The Big Yellow Dog shook its head and slowly said, "You possess a Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, which essentially means your heart has seven holes!"

"But it is precisely these holes that grant you characteristics others do not possess."

"Each hole has its unique function. For example, have you noticed that when you cultivate, you instantly understand those abstruse cultivation techniques that are difficult for ordinary people?"

"Also, when faced with danger, are you able to correctly determine the method to resolve it?"

"Furthermore, can your sixth sense detect the coming of danger in advance?"

"These are all abilities granted to you by your special physique. The cultivation world is full of dangers; one careless mistake can lead to death and the dissipation of your dao. If you use your abilities properly, your future is limitless!"

Its string of answers left Liu Qingyue stunned, but upon careful thought, it seemed to be true. If what Yellow Dog said was correct, and she possessed such a powerful physique...

Her path to prominence would be much easier than for ordinary people. Did that mean she truly was a person of destiny?
