Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

There was quite a commotion when Mo Qi merged the dragon pearl. If Shen Qiao had not quickly set up an isolation barrier, most of Bishui City would have been blown away by this whirlwind that swept straight up to the sky.

When the others arrived, Shen Qiao, who looked like a man, was sitting cross-legged on a tree opposite Fenyan Tower. If Li Yue hadn't looked up, he really wouldn't have seen her.

"Why...are you climbing a tree? Also, what's going on in this restaurant?"

It wasn't that she had to hide in the tree, but the old man would have kowtowed to her if he saw her, so how could she bear it? So she used a magic trick to hide.

As expected, it is better to use a male appearance when traveling in this water city, otherwise it will easily scare those elderly people who have seen Jiang Quechen.

Shen Qiao jumped down from the tree and briefly explained the whole story. Of course, she ignored the fact that she might be Jiang Quechen's reincarnation. After all, it had not been confirmed yet, and she herself was a little skeptical.

After saying this, Shen Qiao couldn't help but sigh and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.

Didn't he come here to investigate Xiyuan's affairs? How did he end up investigating himself?

"We don't need so many people here." Zhu Yu noticed Shen Qiao's little gesture and said, "Let the two younger ones go back first."

“Two younger ones”…

The young medical practitioner from the Shenxiao Sect looked at Shen Qiao silently.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Shen Qiao realized belatedly that he was among them, "I don't need..."

"I agree with Fellow Daoist Zhu's suggestion." Su Tingyu took over the topic and then looked at Shen Qiao, "Could Fellow Daoist Shen take my junior brother back? He doesn't know the way."

Shen Qiao and Du Shuangjiang looked at each other and saw that the child was also looking at her with curiosity.

"Then shall we go back first?"

Li Yue: "Let's go back. It's a good opportunity to tell Senior Brother Mu and the others about what's going on here."

Well, there's no point in staying here.

Shen Qiao then left with the man from the Shenxiao Sect.

"I've seen your skills today." On the way back, Du Shuangjiang couldn't help but talk.

"Um... I want to ask, what realm are you in now?"

Shen Qiao tilted his head to look at the child. Before, he had always been protected in the middle, didn't talk much, was well-behaved and had little sense of existence. Now, it seems that he is someone who will take the initiative to talk?

"Soaring Cloud Realm, mid-stage." Shen Qiao responded, "How about you?"

Du Shuangjiang scratched his nose awkwardly, "Fourth level of Soaring Cloud Realm... I'm only in the late stage of Worry-Free Realm."

This childish look made Shen Qiao couldn't help but chuckle, "How old are you now?"

"I turned eleven last month, and I became Master's disciple at the beginning of this year."

Du Shuangjiang paused, as if calculating something, "I heard from Senior Sister that the Xiyuan clan leader surnamed Jiang was only about eighteen or nineteen when he died."

"I've actually been wondering, since this clan leader is so gifted and proficient in all kinds of magic, why didn't she refuse to become a disciple of an immortal master? At that time, the Xiyuan clan hadn't yet committed any evil. With her talent, wouldn't it be easy for her to become an immortal or a god? Once she achieves enlightenment through cultivation, she'll be able to protect her clan members and fully unleash her talents. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

Although this question may sound naive, it does provide a direction for reflection.

There was still some distance to go before returning, so Shen Qiao simply started a discussion with him, "Perhaps... she studied these techniques not just to show off her talent, but because she was forced to do so by the situation."

"After all, the people of Xiyuan back then were all refugees who had fled there. Not only was the living environment harsh, but they also had to constantly guard against local poisonous insects or invaders looking to seize their territory. How could they even think about higher ideals and ambitions if they couldn't even solve basic survival problems?"

Du Shuangjiang seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment he spoke again, "I agree with you, but I have a more straightforward idea—"

"What if she never wanted to become an immortal or a god?"

Shen Qiao was stunned for a moment.

"Perhaps her path isn't on this path to godhood?" Du Shuangjiang ignored Shen Qiao's annoyance and continued to ponder and analyze. "Master said: Gods should be ruthless. Is it because she finds it difficult to let go of her emotions, or perhaps because she doesn't want to be bound by the rules of heaven and earth, that she simply doesn't want to cultivate into a god?"

Don’t cultivate God, don’t cultivate God…

"Only cultivate 'human'?" Shen Qiao muttered to himself.

Du Shuangjiang was even more curious after hearing this. "'Cultivator'? That's an interesting term. Did Fellow Daoist Shen realize something?"

If Jiang Quechen was truly her past life, and if what Du Shuangjiang had said was true, then she was constantly reincarnated in the human world with the permission of Heaven... could it be because...

boom--

A muffled thunder sounded, startling Du Shuangjiang.

Shen Qiao raised his head and looked at the swirling Hongfu where lightning flashed, but there was no fear in his eyes, but more of exploration.

"Is it because 'I' didn't follow your plan that you showed me 'special grace' and gave me another life?"

A loud thunder sounded again, and the entire Bishui City became as bright as day in an instant. A strong wind blew up from the ground, making the robes of the two people rustle.

Du Shuangjiang was blinded by the sand and stones and couldn't help but raise his hand to block his vision. "Fellow Daoist Shen, let's go back! The sky has suddenly become so horrible. It's too scary."

Oh, are you getting angry because so much has been guessed?

Shen Qiao shut up and resisted the urge to continue testing.

It looked as if if she continued talking, there would be a thunder that would make her "reform" on the spot.

"Let's go back."

Du Shuangjiang responded and quickly took a few steps to catch up.

In fact, before we even got back to our residence, it started to rain heavily. Although we had set up a shelter from the rain, we were still a little damp.

"Why are you two back? Where are the others?"

The two people who were sorting their clothes at the door heard the sound and looked up. Du Shuangjiang came to his senses and hurriedly bowed and greeted in a slightly panicked manner, "Greetings, hello... Fellow Daoist Mu."

Why are you stuttering for no reason?

Shen Qiao couldn't help but think about it, and then repeated Mo Qi's story to Mu Jiu.

"So that's how it is. It was right to let you two come back first." Mu Jiu didn't ask any more questions. Shen Qiao noticed that compared to this matter, Mu Jiu seemed to care more about the rain that was getting heavier.

"Little friend Du, please go back to your room and rest first."

"Okay!" Du Shuangjiang agreed obediently, said hello to Shen Qiao, and then ran away at a very fast pace.

Shen Qiao was wondering why the child seemed to be afraid of Mu Jiu, but before he could say a word, his vision went dark and he suddenly passed out as if his mind had frozen.

Mu Jiu loosened his grip and caught the person neatly. He couldn't help but sigh, "As for you... you should get a good night's sleep first."
