Qingyu looked at everything in front of him calmly, thinking that the Ladder of Inquiry must not be so easy to find, otherwise he would not have come here and seen nothing.

He stood there, closed his eyes and felt everything around him. His temperament instantly calmed down.

The people on the high platform would not be affected by the smoke. They could clearly see everything in the smoke, and naturally saw the series of actions Qingyu just made.

The sect leader nodded and said affirmatively, "Although this boy's spiritual roots are not outstanding, his character is beyond ordinary people. He is a good seedling."

When Lingyun heard someone praising Qingyu, she was very happy and smiled more often.

He agreed and said, "Yeah, I think this person is good too."

When Bai Jin heard this and combined it with what he just said about accepting a disciple, he immediately knew that Ling Yun might be interested in this guy, and he couldn't help but start paying attention to this person.

The other elders had naturally heard what they said just now, and also knew that Ling Yun wanted to accept a disciple. They had thought that Ling Yun would want to accept the disciple with that heavenly spiritual root as his disciple, and they thought they had no hope, but now after hearing what he said, they felt that they could still fight for that heavenly spiritual root.

After all, if Lingyun wanted them, they would definitely not compete with him. They were not short of disciples, and one more would not be too many or one less. But Lingyun was different. There was no living person on his peak except him, so they naturally would not compete with him.

Qingyu had no idea that he had instantly become the focus of several elders just because of Lingyun's words. He now felt that he was in a thick fog and could not see the road ahead at all. He walked around in a panic, but could not get out. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Suddenly, as he was walking, a village appeared in front of him. The moment he saw the village, he was stunned where he was, his eyes full of shock.

He remembered clearly... clearly something, but why couldn't he remember anything?

He looked at everything in front of him in confusion, and walked towards home out of habit. When he got home, he saw his mother sitting at the door, but he couldn't smile at all. He wanted to pretend nothing had happened and walk into the yard, but the person sitting at the door didn't want him to go in so easily.

"stop!"

Just as Qingyu was about to raise his foot, he heard a sharp and piercing voice. He couldn't help but stop and his body began to tremble. This was a kind of psychological fear he had formed towards his mother, which he could not control at all.

His mother stood up from her seat and walked towards him quickly. As soon as she came in front of him, she picked up a broom and started beating him, cursing as she beat him, "Debt collector! Useless waste! I shouldn't have given birth to you! You wasted so much of my food!"

"I'm going to beat you to death, you little bastard!"

Qingyu hugged his body and silently accepted her beatings and scoldings. He did not beg for mercy or help because he knew it was useless and no one would be willing to save him. Begging for mercy would only result in more beatings and scoldings. He kept telling himself that it would pass if he just endured it. He would not die anyway and it would be okay to be beaten a few times.

The pain in his body made it impossible for him to faint, so he was forced to stay awake and endure the beating.

Just when he thought he was about to die, a voice appeared in his ears, bewitching him.

"Are you willing to let her hit you like this without fighting back?"

"Are you really not in pain?"

"You really don't want to kill them?"

Qingyu's eyes flashed with all the past events. He had blamed himself for all the pain and suffering, and his unwillingness to accept his fate. But he had no way to resist. Killing people? How could he not have thought about it? ! But could he really do it?

He was full of doubts in his heart, he simply couldn't do it.

As soon as he thought of this, the voice immediately appeared again, "I can help you get everything you want."

“Everything…?”

Qingyu asked doubtfully, his eyes full of confusion. He seemed not to know what he wanted, but the words of the man in his mind moved him.

He wanted that so-called power. As he thought about it, a red light flashed in his eyes. Then he suddenly jumped up from the ground and grabbed the broom that was hitting him.

Seeing him like this, the woman wanted to pull the broom back, but Qingyu, who looked thin, held the broom firmly in his hand and could not move at all.

Seeing Qingyu's completely different appearance and the terrifying murderous intent in his eyes, the woman panicked. She put down the broom in her hand and wanted to turn around and run away, but Qingyu seemed to know what she was thinking. He walked up to her first and grabbed her neck.

He used more and more strength, and even lifted her up from behind.

Watching the woman's body struggles becoming less and less intense due to difficulty breathing, Qingyu felt extremely satisfied and happy.

Just when the woman was about to suffocate, Qingyu threw her to the ground. His action made the voice in his mind puzzled, "Why don't you kill her? Then you will be free."

Qingyu listened and ignored him, he came to his senses just when he was choking the man, he knew that this was a test from the sect and the voice in his mind should be his obsession. Although he resented his previous life, he did not hate his parents. More than ten years of filial piety had already repaid their kindness in raising him, so he was naturally relieved.

Almost at the moment he figured it out, the voice in his mind disappeared. He disappeared on the spot. When he opened his eyes, a staircase appeared in front of him, extending straight up with no end in sight.

He took a firm step and stepped onto the stairs in front of him.

Lingyun, who was on the high platform, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qingyu finally waking up. He looked at the people around him who were waking up one after another, but Qingyu had not woken up yet. He was very anxious at the time and wanted to help directly, but when he saw the person waking up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The other elders were looking at a place not far away, while Jin Sheng was looking at Lingyun. Naturally, he also saw how nervous he was about that disciple. He was really curious about what kind of person could make Lingyun, the Immortal Venerable who had never cared about the worldly affairs, want to take him in as a disciple and could make him so anxious.

He was thinking that he must go and meet her later.

Lingyun had no idea that his unusual behavior had already been noticed by others. Now, as he looked at Qingyu who was about to reach the top of the stairs, his heart was filled with joy and pride.

001 accidentally detected his inner thoughts and looked at him speechlessly, "What are you proud of?"

Lingyun didn't hear the sarcasm in his words, she just thought he was simply asking her, he smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy, this is an adult! And I'm his family member and younger brother, so of course I'm happy!"

The first thing 001 noticed when he heard his words was not his explanation but the word "brother".

Looking at the heartless boy in front of him, 001 had a bad guess in his mind. As if to verify his idea, he asked him tactfully, "Xiao Lingyun, do you know our mission?"

"It's just Master Raiders."

After saying that, he looked at 001 as if he was an idiot, as if he was asking him such a simple question.

001 said he was hurt, but he was too lazy to pay attention to him and told him directly without beating around the bush, "The strategy here doesn't mean you have to become his relative, but - his lover!"

As soon as he said this, the calm expression on Lingyun's face immediately cracked. He never thought it would be like this.

When he came to his senses he yelled directly in his mind "What?!"
