The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

Qingli received Ye Wanqing's telepathic message and instantly arrived at Ye Wanqing's courtyard. "Master."

Ye Wanqing nodded lightly, took a sip of the tea on the table, her eyes unchanged, and asked, "How's the progress lately?"

"Master, our overall strength has greatly improved, and everything is progressing smoothly. Before you leave for the Heavenly Spirit Realm, the disciples should be able to increase their strength further."

Ye Wanqing opened the folding fan in her hand and gently stroked the handle, but her eyes remained calm as she looked at Qingli in front of her. "Well, when you were leading the trial, did you encounter anyone or encounter any strange things?"

Qingli's eyes flickered slightly, not understanding the meaning. "Master, when I lead my disciples in trials, it's mostly at midnight, and I haven't seen anyone. Master, what happened?"

Ye Wanqing suddenly closed the folding fan in her hand and gently tapped the corner of the table, a strange look in her eyes. "Nothing much. It's just that the newcomer, Chu Guining, came over yesterday and said he'd seen you all and guessed that I was the mastermind behind you."

Qingli's eyes widened, and he half-knelt down, "I know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept any punishment."

Ye Wanqing raised the corners of her lips slightly. She suddenly stood up and walked past Qingli, her eyes full of coldness.

"Of course there must be punishment, but Qingli, I'll tell you again, you are the one I personally chose. I can give you two chances to try and make your own mistakes. This is already the second time."

"But if there's a next time, then you don't have to stay by my side anymore. I don't need useless people around me, do you understand? I also hope you won't let me down."

Qingli lowered his head, hiding the darkness in his eyes, but his eyes flickered with something strange, "I understand, there will never be a next time."

"For the next seven days, Chu Guining will train with you. She will also train on the same subjects as you do, and the results of your training will be released in seven days."

"Yes, I have the order."

Ye Wanqing stared at Qingli's receding figure. Noticing something strange about her body, her heart moved and she concealed the dark color in her eyes.

Qingli, ah Qingli, please don't let me down.

other side

Jiang Xu, guided by unknown reasons, quietly came to the wing where Chu Guining and her brother were temporarily staying. He hid in the dark, looking at Chu Musheng, who was not far away and indeed had no spiritual power at all. His eyes flickered slightly, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Suddenly, he felt a weight on his shoulder, and Jiang Xu jumped up and looked back.

"Oh my god, Brother Ye, do you know that scaring others can kill them?"

Ye Jingzhan crossed his arms over his chest, his eyebrows raised, "You said I scared you? But you, in broad daylight, sneaked into the guest room, what were you doing?"

Jiang Xu blinked, his expression somewhat innocent. "Of course I noticed something was wrong, but Brother Ye, what are you doing here? This place is far from your residence."

Ye Jingzhan's expression was slightly indifferent, but his eyes were fixed on the man who was gradually walking towards them from behind Jiang Xu. "I also feel that something is wrong."

Suddenly, Jiang Xu felt a weight on his shoulders, and a faint voice sounded from behind him, "What are you doing?"

"what!"

"Ouch, why are you walking so silently? Huhu, I'm scared."

Chu Musheng blinked, looking innocent. "I'm sorry, I don't have any spiritual power, and my aura has been weak recently. I'm sorry if I scared you."

Faced with Chu Musheng's frank apology, Jiang Xu was slightly stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment. It was Ye Jingzhan who spoke first.

"Mr. Chu, huh? Let me introduce myself first. I'm Ye Jingzhan, and he's Jiang Xu."

Chu Musheng bowed, "So you are the young master of the Ye family. I'm sorry, just call me Musheng. Musheng also wants to thank the Ye family for taking us in. I will never forget your life-saving grace."

Jiang Xu regained his usual cynicism and raised an eyebrow. "As for us, nothing's wrong. We just heard that you have no spiritual power and are seriously injured, so we came to see you."

"Oh, thank you, young masters. With Miss Ye's medicine, I'm much better now. As for spiritual power, I really don't have any spiritual power. I haven't had any since I was a child."

Jiang Xu's expression was a little strange as he slowly approached Chu Musheng. The closer he got to him, the more Jiang Xu discovered that the mermaid power in his blood was beginning to stir. He concealed the darkness in his eyes.

"Chu Musheng, huh? I don't know why, but I feel like you look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"

Chu Musheng blinked, looking inexperienced. He tilted his head, his expression as if thinking, "Well, actually, I also think you look somewhat familiar. But to be more precise, it seems that the power within your body makes me feel somewhat familiar. Hmm... are you a mermaid?"

Jiang Xu's eyes widened, and he subconsciously summoned the Black Ice Spear, pointing it directly at Chu Musheng's neck. His awe-inspiring and resolute aura was somewhat similar to Ye Wanqing's. "What did you say?!"

"Jiang Xu!"

"Mu Sheng!"

Two voices came from different directions at the same time. Chu Guining ran to Chu Musheng's side and protected him tightly behind him.

On the other side, Ye Jingzhan's eyes suddenly turned cold, signaling Jiang Xu to calm down.

Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two siblings in front of him steadily, with a look of unprecedented coldness. You know, except for a few people closest to him, no one knew that he also had the blood of a mermaid.

During the last life-and-death battle at Cang Qiong Academy, although he revealed his mermaid bloodline, Ye Wanqing later used her divine power to change the memories of everyone present, and the memories of him revealing his mermaid appearance had completely disappeared.

And now there was a man in front of him who could actually see through his mermaid bloodline, and he was also a person of unknown origin. Jiang Xu had to be on guard, and he would not allow anyone to hurt Ye Wanqing.

Even though Chu Guining was protecting Chu Musheng, the sharp spear still pointed at his weak spot. Jiang Xu's eyes suddenly turned cold, "What do you all know?"

Chu Musheng, whose gun was pointed directly at the fatal point, showed a slight change in expression. He quietly took a step forward and protected Chu Guining behind him without making a sound.

"Master Jiang, I have no ill intentions. I am just expressing my clear feelings in my heart. Other than that, I know nothing."

After noticing the special bloodline of the person in front of her, Chu Guining had obviously guessed what was going on, and her expression changed slightly.

"Master Jiang, my sister and I have no ill intentions. We are just lucky enough to be taken in by Miss Ye. As for how we knew that you have mermaid blood in your body."

"It's just because my clan has a close relationship with the mermaids, so we are more familiar with their bloodline. If Mu Sheng has offended me in any way, I, as his sister, can apologize to Young Master Jiang on his behalf."

Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the look in his eyes was ambiguous, and it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

Suddenly, a cold and familiar voice sounded behind everyone.

"Jiang Xu, stop."
