Refining divine pills, controlling divine beasts, and the useless lady is so cool

Mu Qingli nodded and handed the fire element stone to Murong Jingchen: "With this, you will be able to practice faster in the future."

Murong Jingchen was deeply moved: "Qingqing, you are so kind to me."

"Since you know I'm good to you, hurry up and practice, and try to come out of seclusion the day after tomorrow!"

Murong Jingchen nodded firmly: "I'll go practice now!"

After Mu Qingli and others left, Xiao Lingyi wanted to tell Mu Qingli the results of his investigation and invited Mu Qingli and Shangguan Xiyue to visit his house.

However, Mu Qingli did not talk about Gulis first, but asked about Murong Jingchen.

Xiao Lingyi seemed to have anticipated her question, and spoke slowly and calmly.

Murong Jingchen had a very quiet personality before he was seven years old, but he changed completely after being held hostage by his mother.

"Hostaged? Why would his mother hold him hostage?"

"Because his father died."

Xiao Lingyi sighed and extended the story to Murong Jingchen's father.

Murong Jingchen's father did not have a high talent for refining weapons, but he was very handsome. Once when he went out for training, he brought back a woman, who was Murong Jingchen's mother.

The two were very much in love and gave birth to Murong Jingchen a few years after their marriage. However, Murong Jingchen's mother did not want to raise the child, so she left him to Mr. Murong.

Murong Jingchen's father was reluctant at first, but he compromised after being threatened by his wife. However, he would always secretly visit Murong Jingchen when his wife was not around.

This would have been fine, but the bad thing was that Murong Jingchen's father was killed while he was out, and only his body was found.

Murong Jingchen's mother couldn't accept her husband's death and became crazy.

She told everyone that her husband was not dead, and sometimes when she was a little more sober, she said that she should not have forced her husband to go out hunting.

At the beginning, many people sympathized with her, but later people gradually became numb and were unwilling to even be perfunctory.

After she felt this gap, she gradually calmed down. Everyone thought that her madness had healed, but who knew that a biting dog would not bark.

She took advantage of the fact that Mr. Murong was not at home and took away the seven-year-old Murong Jingchen, hiding him in a secret place where no one could find him.

After taking Murong Jingchen away, she abused him, cursed him all day long, and even refused to give him food, saying that he was a mute who could not speak and was not even one ten-thousandth as good as his father.

So she forced Murong Jingchen to speak, and as long as he couldn't hear her, she would continue to whip him.

Murong Jingchen was abused for three months and was eventually found by Old Man Murong, but his personality had changed by then and he was no longer like himself at all.

Mu Qingli and Shangguan Xiyue were silent after hearing this. They never expected that Murong Jingchen would be abused by his biological mother in the future.

If you really hate children, you can just not have them. Why do this?

"And his mother?"

Mu Qingli wanted to know what happened to Murong Jingchen's mother. She was not worthy of being a mother because she could do such harm to a seven-year-old child.

Xiao Lingyi thought of the scene before Murong Jingchen's mother died, and his lips pressed into a straight line: "She committed suicide. She committed suicide in front of Murong Jingchen. Before she committed suicide, she said it was all Murong Jingchen's fault."

Shangguan Xiyue said angrily after hearing this: "What does this have to do with Xiaochen?"

Xiao Lingyi spread his hands and said, "In my opinion, that woman is a lunatic. How can a lunatic's thinking be the same as that of a normal person? Do you know what she said at the time? I will repeat her exact words for you."

Xiao Lingyi paused here and repeated the words that Murong Jingchen's mother said before her death with an expressionless face.

"Xiaochen, you are not a good child. I want to die because you don't know how to comfort me. Remember, my death is all your fault!

I've been teaching you for three months, but you still can't learn to please me. I hate your quiet personality the most. Why can't you just be more like your father? If you don't want to, I'll die in front of you!

Xiao Lingyi repeated these words very calmly, but if you look closely, there is anger in his eyes. However, the woman is already dead, and he can no longer seek justice for Xiaochen.

Mu Qingli's heart trembled when she heard those words. Ever since she first met Murong Jingchen, she had a vague feeling that Murong Jingchen would always deliberately look at her when he spoke.

She didn't think much about it at the time, but now, combined with the story Xiao Lingyi told, she seemed to understand a little.

He just wants to please.

"He's much better now than before. In the years after his mother passed away, he even talked in his sleep."

When Xiao Lingyi thought about the changes in Murong Jingchen, his heart gradually calmed down. Everything was moving in a good direction.

"Yes, Xiaochen will have us in the future, and the past will be forgotten."

Shangguan Xiyue spoke softly.

Xiao Lingyi smiled, he thought so too.

Mu Qingli brought the topic back to Gulis: "So, Gulis, how's your investigation going?"

Gulis, who was mentioned by Mu Qingli, was currently staying in a small dark room, holding a spirit beast's heart in his hand.

"Hehehe, it's such a pity that I couldn't get that spirit beast heart last time. Although this one is a little weaker, it can still increase my lifespan by ten years."

Gulis looked at the Heart of the Spirit Beast with an evil smile on his face.

At this moment, there was a knock on his door and a crying voice came from outside:

"Master Gu Dan, please save my brother! I've already given you the spirit beast's heart. Please help save my brother!"

Gulis opened the door and saw a little girl of about twelve or thirteen kneeling outside. Her face was full of tears and she looked very pitiful.

Gulis's eyes rested on the girl's delicate face, a wicked glint flashing in his eyes. He then immediately reached out to support the little girl, his fingers carelessly brushing across her chest.

"Hurry up and get up. I promised to save your brother, and I will save him. Take me to see him."

A look of surprise appeared on the little girl's tear-stained face, and she immediately bowed and thanked him: "Master Gu Dan, thank you so much!"

The little girl immediately led the way and brought Gulis to her injured brother.

The injured man's face was black, his hands were folded on his abdomen, and he could hardly breathe. If someone didn't know him, they would think he was a corpse.

As soon as the little girl saw her brother's appearance, she couldn't stop crying and couldn't speak.

Gulis reached out and patted the little girl's hair, wiping her tears with his hands: "Don't cry, I will definitely save your brother."

"Thank you!"

The little girl fell to her knees in front of Gulis. She and her brother depended on each other for survival. If her brother was gone, she really didn't know what to do.

Gulis ordered the little girl, "Go out first and close the door. I'm going to start treating your brother."
