Chapter 292: Chapter 154: Foolish Child
It wasn’t until Qingqing personally brought the heart’s blood to its mouth that it swallowed it in one gulp, along with half the dagger.
As Qingqing recited the secret technique, soon, a man and a dragon’s seven-colored heart began to beat in sync, emitting a loud "thump thump thump" sound, as if two hearts were one.
Qingqing opened her eyes again, looking at Gu Haitang who was trying hard to stay calm, and revealed a victorious smile.
"Now, borrowing the power of Abyss-Devouring Demon Dragon, my innate divine techniques give me the status equivalent to the Life and Death Three Profound Realms."
"The secrets in your heart, I’ve already heard them crystal clear, no treasure can protect you."
"Nonsense! I swear I’ve never done anything against Chu Xuan, don’t try to sow discord!" Gu Haitang looked at Qingqing with eyes full of hatred and grit her teeth.
Qingqing nodded, "Then let me ask you, did you have an ulterior motive when you first approached Chu Xuan?"
"No." Gu Haitang answered firmly.
She told herself: This woman is trying to deceive me, she must be deceiving me, I can’t panic at a casual word, I must remain steadfast, only then will Chu Xuan believe me.
But Qingqing felt like laughing, the biggest flaw in this divine technique is not the suppression of realms, but that it can only hear surface thoughts, the deep consciousness cannot be read.
In other words, whatever the other party is thinking right now, she can hear, but if the other person enters a deep meditative state, then this divine technique is completely ineffective.
However, Gu Haitang is already in disarray, as soon as she was questioned, she immediately recalled related matters.
Qingqing looked at Chu Xuan, "Unexpectedly, there’s such a secret within, so let me say it gracefully, your Daoist Palace people will surely know the truth upon hearing it."
"Firstly, when Gu Haitang first visited with two real persons back then, the Purple Heaven’s upper echelons entrusted her with a secret mission, to test the authenticity of a senior in your Daoist Palace."
"Because this senior had a close relationship with Chu Xuan, Gu Haitang used this opportunity to feign a meeting with Chu Xuan while secretly observing the senior’s every move to see if there’s really an issue."
At this, the Daoist Palace’s upper echelons were all startled, Chu Xuan’s expression changed greatly, Jiang Yiyi!
Among all those who knew the inner details, only Jiang Yiyi was there, touching her chin, pondering deeply which senior it was?
Could it be Floating Cloud Zi? Then Haitang’s girl’s guts are too big, aren’t they?
Purple Heaven’s upper echelons were even more shaken, initially, most of them thought this demon girl was playing some scare tactic, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Floating Cloud Zi’s deliberate indulgence.
Continue like this, where do the two sects’ reputations go?
But now, they are panicked, this matter is neither big nor small.
Although Purple Heaven didn’t cause any substantial harm to the Daoist Palace, openly exposing such a thing of probing another sect’s secrets is a huge damage to Purple Heaven Jade Mansion’s reputation.
Yu Ming Zi sighed inwardly, immediately transmitted sound to Floating Cloud Zi and Chu Xuan quickly, revealing the truth at that time.
He took all the blame willingly, saying Haitang acted under his direction, struggled for a while but ultimately dared not disobey the elder’s orders, the fault wasn’t hers.
At this moment, the guests present were already whispering, looking at the Purple Heaven cultivators with eyes full of suspicion, as if asking:
Did these self-proclaimed first righteous sect people really do such a dishonorable act?
Floating Cloud Zi listened and quickly analyzed everything with the cultivator’s fast-thinking ability, immediately said expressionlessly:
"Miss Duanmu, such words can’t be spoken carelessly, do you have evidence?"
Qingqing smiled and shook her head, "No, I can only say fairness lies in people’s hearts, Master Zhenren should have an understanding of this."
"Then my Daoist Palace cannot recognize this, Purple Heaven Jade Mansion is a prestigious sect, they definitely wouldn’t do what you said, if you continue to slander, it won’t be long before we kick people out."
Floating Cloud Zi’s words were also a hint to Qingqing, "this matter" ends here, too much exposure would embarrass Purple Heaven Jade Mansion, Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace is also worried about others suspecting, eventually doubting Jiang Yiyi.
Qingqing nodded, understanding the hidden meaning in Floating Cloud Zi’s words, would only touch on "this one thing."
Chu Xuan, on the other side, remained silent after listening to Yu Ming Zi’s transmission.
Gu Haitang tightly held his hand, face pale and incoherent, transmitting sound:
"I, I... Chu Xuan, listen to me, I really didn’t harbor any malice, whether it’s me or the sect."
"Back then when I grew close to you, it wasn’t specifically for that matter."
Chu Xuan didn’t respond to her, just looked indifferently at Qingqing, his voice hoarse, "There shouldn’t be anything else, right?"
Qingqing looked at him with complex eyes, shook her head, "There is, and it’s far more serious than just now."
Saying so, she turned to Gu Haitang, alluding, "You’re very clear which matter I’m referring to, right?"
Gu Haitang panicked further, her mind filled with the family-assigned task, actively approaching Chu Xuan.
At this moment, she already knew, Qingqing might really possess mind-reading divine techniques, not just bluffing, she couldn’t help but cast a pleading look at her.
Even those two clan elders, Haitang’s uncles, faces changed greatly, they found it hard to believe whether this witch truly had such skills, knowing others’ thoughts at will.
Only Gu Jianjia’s expression was dim, letting out a low sigh.
Qingqing, however, ignored Gu Haitang’s plea, only heard her say aloud, "About thirty years ago, Gu Haitang’s family was secretly investigating a suspected possession and resurrection ’demon’ across all areas in the cultivation world."
