Filial piety: the supreme emperor

Ning Qian gently opened her red lips, took a sip of tea gracefully, and asked, "Madam, what is the matter with coming to Zixia Sect this time?"

Qu Qirong replied calmly: "It's about the Bloodfall Mountains."

"Ma'am, let's go for a walk!"

When this was mentioned, Qing'er and Lian'er realized that some things were inconvenient for them to inquire about, so they said hello to their lady and left the courtyard on their own initiative.

"Master, they just arrived at Zixia Sect and are not familiar with it. Let me take them for a walk!"

Li Shishi didn't want to stay here either, because her master always made her feel depressed and uncomfortable when he was serious.

As for the little fox Yingying, she had already taken Hongxue, Moxue and Baizhi to her own medicine field to look for her spiritual objects.

Usually the medicine field is taken care of by Lu Ran, but in her heart, it is hers!

As a result, there were only three people left in the courtyard.

Lu Ran, Ning Qian, and Qu Qirong.

Ning Qian said softly: "What happened in the Bloodfall Mountains?"

She had been in seclusion these days. She used her free time to celebrate her daughter's birthday, and then devoted herself to the accumulated sect affairs.

She did not have a deep understanding of the news about the Bloodfall Mountains.

"An ancient cave appeared in the Bloodfall Mountains."

"The rules there affect the entire mountain range, and strong people above the king level cannot enter at all."

“In addition, it has attracted many large and small forces, all of whom are waiting for the cave to open.”

"If Sect Master Ning wants to obtain the Blood Soul Crystal, it may be difficult."

Qu Qirong pondered for a while and told what happened in the Bloodfall Mountains.

She only recently learned about the Bloodfall Mountains.

Ning Qian frowned slightly: "According to what Madam said, doesn't that mean I can't step into the Bloodfall Mountains?"

She was not interested in the cave of the ancient powerful man.

All she needed was the blood and soul crystal to refine the Extreme Yang Creation Pill.

At this time, Lu Ran looked at the beautiful lady beside him and said, "Aunt Rong, when will the cave in the Bloodfall Mountains be opened?"

Qu Qirong replied: "No more than a month!"

Lu Ran pondered for a while and suggested: "If that's the case, why not let me go, Master!"

The master was cursed by the mysterious curse, which can only be broken with the Jiyang Creation Pill.

And the Blood Soul Crystal is exactly the material needed to refine the Extreme Yang Creation Pill.

Since the master is unable to help, it is reasonable for him to go.

Moreover, there is no conflict in time.

The six sects’ martial arts competition lasts for ten days, and after it ends, we will be able to arrive before the ancient cave opens.

Ning Qian felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes showed even more doting: "Then I'll trouble you, Ran'er!"

She knew very well that Lu Ran was very worried about the curse in her body.

Even if he was not allowed to go, he would not agree.

Of course, Ning Qian also believes in the strength of her baby.

After sixteen years of day and night teaching, coupled with his extremely extraordinary talent for cultivation, his fighting ability is definitely not inferior to any top genius of the contemporary era.

"Although we know that the Blood Soul Crystal is in the Bloodfall Mountains, our exact location is unclear."

"If the cave is opened by then and someone gets there first, it will be troublesome!"

Qu Qirong had witnessed Lu Ran's terrifying strength, so she naturally let him go, but she was a little worried about it.

"It's okay. I'll take Yingying with me then."

"Her nose is extremely special. It can find the specific location of spiritual objects in heaven and earth."

Lu Ran smiled slightly and told his plan.

This trip to the Bloodfall Mountains cannot fail.

Bringing the little fox along can, on the one hand, determine the location of the blood crystal, and on the other hand, provide an extra layer of protection.

You know, the little fox is comparable to the king level just by her physical body, so having her here is like having an extra trump card.

"Then it's settled!"

"If an accident occurs, Ran'er, do not stay in the Bloodfall Mountains. Your own safety is the most important thing."

Ning Qian held Lu Ran's hand and gave him instructions.

"I understand, Master!" Lu Ran nodded.

Seeing her own Ran'er's hand being held, Qu Qirong frowned unconsciously, but she didn't say much, just changed the subject:

"Master Ning, I have completed the first task."

"The second matter is about the distribution of benefits from the cooperation between our two sects."

Ning Qian raised her head slightly: "Madam, do you want to redistribute the benefits?"

"Yes!" Qu Qirong nodded and continued, "The profit distribution will be 70% for Lingbao Pavilion and 30% for Zixia Sect."

"I don't think it's appropriate!"

"If possible, change it to 50% for Lingbao Pavilion and 50% for Zixia Sect."

Now, regarding the robes, through the cooperation between Lingbao Pavilion and Zixia Sect, a huge industrial chain of interests has been formed.

In Youzhou, whenever people mention robes, they will think of Lingbao Pavilion and Zixia Sect.

Previously, due to the business competition between Tongbao Chamber of Commerce and Xuanling Sect, she needed more spirit stone income to win the competition.

Now that the commercial competition has ended, appropriate concessions can be made in terms of interests.

In this way, not only will the Zixia Sect's strength gradually grow, but Ran'er will also be able to obtain more and better resources for cultivation.

Ning Qian thought for a moment and responded: "I have no objection!"

This move would only benefit the entire Zixia Sect and not cause any harm, so she naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Since Sect Master Ning has no objection, then my second task is also completed."

Qu Qirong took out a storage ring and placed it in front of Ning Qian:

"As for the third thing, I have prepared a small gift to thank Sect Master Ning for taking care of Ran'er over the years."

Hearing this, Ning Qian narrowed her beautiful eyes and said with interest: "Ran'er is my disciple, so it is natural for me to take care of him. Why should Madam thank you?"

"Ran'er should have told Sect Master Ning about my relationship with Princess Zhenbei."

"Although we are not related by blood, Ran'er is my junior after all, and he also calls me 'Aunt Rong'!"

"Originally, I should have taken good care of Ran'er on behalf of the princess, but unfortunately I was unable to do so."

"Now that I have recognized Ran'er, I should thank Sect Master Ning for taking care of me over the years."

Qu Qirong slowly held Lu Ran's other hand and spoke slowly.

Her words showed her relationship with Lu Ran. She was Lu Ran's elder and also his aunt.

Ning Qian naturally understood the meaning of the woman's words.

She glanced at her beloved disciple, her charming smile became even brighter, and she pushed the ring back with her slender hand, while holding Lu Ran's hand even tighter.

"I appreciate your kindness, madam, but I cannot accept it."

"I regard Ran'er as my own child. She is both my teacher and my mother."

"As a mother, it is natural to take care of your son. What do you think, Madam?"

The meaning of her words was very clear. No matter what, Qu Qirong, you are just an aunt. What about her?

——Both a master and a mother!

Closer than you anyway!

Lu Ran felt his hands being tightly held by a pair of extremely soft hands, and his expression froze slightly!

Didn’t we have a pleasant chat just now?

Why did the atmosphere become so confrontational as soon as he was mentioned?

The key is that he seems unable to get a word in.

At this time, the atmosphere in the backyard became a little depressing.

Facing Ning Qian's gaze, Qu Qirong narrowed her beautiful eyes and did not flinch:

"According to Sect Master Ning, I am as close to Princess Zhenbei as sisters. Although we are not related by blood, we are closer."

"Now that Princess Zhenbei is not here, I should fulfill my motherly duties on her behalf and take care of Ran'er!"

What she meant was, you can be the master and the mother, and I can be the aunt and the mother.

And in terms of relationship, she was recognized by the princess.

And what about you Ning Kan?

It's just that he showed up halfway!

In response, Ning Qian slightly opened her red lips and elegantly sipped the fragrant tea.

Then, she said leisurely: "Has Madam ever fed Ran'er?"

A delicate blush appeared on Qu Qirong's beautiful face, and she exhaled softly: "No!"

Then she came to her senses and looked at Ning Qian and Lu Ran strangely.

Lu Ran seemed uncomfortable and explained: "Goat milk!"

The master was being vague on purpose to arouse Aunt Rong's imagination.

Ning Qian didn't care at all. She looked at her beloved disciple with her beautiful eyes full of affection: "Madam, have you helped Ran'er take a bath?"

"No!" Qu Qirong clenched her teeth and shook her head unwillingly.

When she met Lu Ran, he was already a teenager. How could she help him take a bath?

Ning Qian showed a nostalgic look and asked, "Did the lady stay up all night trying to coax Ran'er to sleep?"

"No!" Qu Qirong lowered her eyes and shook her head.

Lu Ran wanted to say something, but when he saw the mysterious look in his master's eyes, he was speechless.

Since being brought back to Zixia Sect, he has indeed received the careful care of his master, and they almost always bathe and rest together.

But how could he begin to coax him to sleep and stay awake all night?

He always has a regular schedule, so he can sleep well when it's time to go to bed, right?

Why do we need to coax like the master said?

Do you really think he is a baby?

Ning Qian didn't know what her beloved disciple was thinking. She looked at Qu Qirong with a brighter smile:

"Madam, you have not experienced this, but I have personally experienced it and was deeply impressed."

"I have never experienced what Sect Master Ning said." Qu Qirong took a deep breath and opened her red lips: "It is precisely because of this that I want to make up for the debts I have suffered over the years in the future."

She had to admit that the opponent had a slight advantage in this contest!

But so what?

That's just because Ning Qian has spent more time with her own Ran'er over the years.

"I don't mean to argue with you, Madam."

"I just want to show that Ran'er is very important to me."

"So, I cannot and will not accept this generous gift!"

Ning Qian spoke softly and did not continue arguing.

In any case, Qu Qirong is also Lu Ran's elder, and the water temperature needs to be controlled so as not to embarrass her own Ran'er.

Qu Qirong did not take back the ring, but said: "How can I take back something I gave away?"

Ning Qian's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Ran with interest: "In that case, Ran'er, do you think I should accept it?"

Qu Qirong also looked at him with burning eyes.

Facing the gazes of the two elders, Lu Ran felt unspeakable and had a headache!

Aunt Rong wanted to give this generous gift away, but Master refused to accept it.

The final choice inexplicably fell on him.

If he had known this, he should have found an excuse to go out and let the two of them discuss it alone, so that they wouldn't be in the current dilemma.

Lu Ran thought for a while and smiled softly:

"This generous gift is a token of Aunt Rong's love. It would be a shame to refuse it."

After hearing this, Qu Qirong felt sweet in her heart and smiled sweetly, looking extremely beautiful.

In contrast, Ning Qian was not impatient. She just smiled and waited for her beloved disciple's next words.

Just as she thought, Lu Ran spoke again: "Master didn't accept it because she has taken care of me for so many years and never thought about repaying me."

"Why don't you let me keep this ring for the time being? Aunt Rong and Master, what do you think?"

He knew what this generous gift meant.

As his elder, Aunt Rong gave this generous gift to Master to express her gratitude for Master's care for him over the years, which is indeed reasonable.

But from the Master’s perspective, it’s different.

She takes care of her disciples like her own sons, so why should she accept thank-you gifts from others?

If she accepted this generous gift, wouldn't it mean that the other party was the relative of her beloved disciple? Then what would she be?

Taking this into consideration, Lu Ran chose to take the ring himself.

Qu Qirong nodded: "Ran'er is about to break through to the King Realm. There are many precious spiritual objects in the ring, which can be put to good use."

Ning Qian was also very satisfied with her own Ran'er's actions: "Ran'er's meaning is what I mean, it is most appropriate for you to accept it."

Hearing what the two elders said, Lu Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he is good at answering multiple-choice questions.

The best answer is to have the best of both worlds!

As if remembering something, Ning Qian asked, "Madam, I heard from Ran'er that a sleeping curse was planted on you. Is that true?"

"Well, luckily Ran'er helped to resolve it, and it's much better now."

Qu Qirong did not deny it and answered frankly.

Ning Qian glanced at Lu Ran calmly and continued, "The Sealing Curse is one of the Eight Yang Meridian Curses. Only those who are above the Master of the Five Palaces of Yin Yang Law Heaven can practice it."

"So, Qu Tianheng may be connected to a hall master in Yin Yang Fa Tian."

"If I am not mistaken, this Palace Master is coming for me."

Although she can use her astrological and lunar abilities to conceal her own fate, she is not completely undetectable.

For Dongjun, who was possessed by the previous generation of Yin-Yang Law Master Tiandao, even if her own fate was concealed, the other party could still use the art of deduction to spy on that trace and confirm that she was in Youzhou.

Of course, the specific geographical location cannot be deduced, otherwise there would be more than one palace master coming.

Qu Qirong pondered for a while and said, "It may take some time before we know the details of this matter."

To know the relationship between Qu Tianheng and Yin Yang Fatian, we have to wait until the love Gu and the mind control Gu in his body are completely integrated!

Seeing that the two elders were no longer confronting each other, Lu Ran smiled, but the smile soon froze.

Just because he found that his calves were numb...
