“I don’t know if I have any connection with the Leng family in the upper realm. I have lived in the mortal world since I was young and just came to the Xuanling Continent more than six months ago.

Do you know if there is anyone in the Leng family whose name contains the character "Qian"?

Leng Zhuxin asked with a frown.

"thousand?"

Jiang Baimo also frowned and thought. The Leng family is a big family, and there must be many people with the word "Qian" in their names. However, the most brilliant one among them happened to be named Leng Qian.

He was the son of the head of the Leng family before they went into seclusion. Fourteen years ago, he was hunted down by his enemies and disappeared without a trace.

When Leng Qian disappeared, Jiang Baimo was ten years old, old enough to remember things. He remembered that Leng Qian had only one son and no daughter.

Leng Zhuxin is fourteen years old this year, which coincides with the time when Leng Qian disappeared. Jiang Baimo couldn't help but suspect the relationship between Leng Zhuxin and Leng Qian.

Leng Qian's wife Ning Yanmi and his mother were close friends. Although they rarely met after they got married, Jiang Baimo still had some impression of her appearance and was also deeply impressed by her name.

Before, he had never thought that Leng Zhuxin was related to Leng Qian and his wife, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to whether Leng Zhuxin looked similar to them.

Now that he had doubts, he looked at Leng Zhuxin carefully. Sure enough, he felt that Leng Zhuxin's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to those of Ning Yanmi and his wife, and she was even seven points similar to Leng Buqiu, the son of Ning Yanmi and his wife in his memory.

Then he asked, "Is Senior Sister Leng's mother called Ning Yanmi?"

Mi and Mi have the same pronunciation. When Leng Zhuxin suddenly heard this name, although there was an extra character in the middle, he quickly thought of his mother's name Ning Mi.

But he still shook his head at Jiang Baimo: "My mother's name is Ningmi, which means quiet."

"Mi...Yan Mi..."

Jiang Baimo repeated the two names in his mouth and kept writing them on the table with his hands. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he separated the word "谧" and wrote the radicals on the table.

"Word!"

He looked up at Leng Zhuxin and reached out to touch the word "Yan" on the table: "Yan Mi, Mi! You are Aunt Ning's daughter!

"Where's Aunt Ning? Is she still in the mortal world?"

Jiang Baimo asked anxiously.

Leng Zhuxin didn't expect that the mystery of her life experience would be solved so quickly. She thought it would take several years to solve, just like the novels she had read.

Still a little dazed for a moment, he followed Jiang Baimo's words and replied, "My mother passed away six years ago. What kind of people are they in the upper realm?"

"Dead?"

Jiang Baimo was somewhat incredulous, and sadness instantly appeared in his eyes.

His mood suddenly darkened. "Aunt Ning and Uncle Leng are both very good people. Uncle Leng is a strong cultivator of that generation, but he doesn't have the arrogance of other strong cultivators. He is gentle and never looks down on even low-level cultivators.

His relationship with Aunt Ning was not favored at the beginning, as Aunt Ning was the least talented among her generation in the Ning family.

The purity of the spiritual roots is not high, there are only three spiritual roots, and there is no companion beast.

But Aunt Ning has gotten along very well with monsters since she was a child, and she is also one of the rare cultivators who can make contracts with multiple monsters.

As for how the two met and fell in love, I’m actually not quite sure. I only know that Uncle Leng married Aunt Ning into the Leng family against everyone’s objections.

Later, people from the demon world invaded, and Uncle Leng and Aunt Ning were chased and killed by demon cultivators on their way to the border, and they have not been heard from since.

The Leng family also suffered heavy losses from fighting against the demons, and many members of the family were killed or injured. The head of the Leng family was also seriously injured in a sneak attack, and his cultivation level plummeted.

After your brother Leng Buqiu inherited the position of head of the family, he took the remaining members of the Leng family and retired. I don’t know where they retired to.

Senior Sister Leng, you look very similar to your brother. Uncle Leng and the others disappeared fourteen years ago, which happens to be your age.

Many cultivators in the upper realm thought your parents had died fourteen years ago, but they never expected them to come to the lower realm and give birth to you."

If Leng Zhuxin had any doubts about her life experience before, those doubts were completely dispelled after hearing the above words.

Especially the name Leng Buqiu, the original owner had heard Ning Mi read it several times, and even the name Zhuxin was somewhat related to Buqiu.

Buqiucao is another name for bamboo.

However, Leng Zhuxin didn't quite believe what Jiang Baimo said about being hunted by evil cultivators.

Xiaohan said that the ones who were hunting her parents were cultivators from the upper realm.

The cold vine tree is particularly sensitive to demonic energy. If it really is a demonic cultivator, Xiaohan would never treat it as a cultivator.

Leng Zhuxin didn't think the Leng family would be so completely unprepared during the war with the demons. Even the head of the family was attacked and seriously injured. There was probably a traitor.

The Leng family must have guessed that the disaster suffered by the Leng family was related to human cultivators, so they retired after the war between humans and demons.

Leng Zhuxin had some trust in Jiang Baimo, but he did not trust the Jiang family, nor would he trust any family in the upper realm.

From what Jiang Baimo just said, she could know that the Leng family was probably the number one family in the upper realm before they retired. There were no sects in the upper realm, and the Leng family's status in the upper realm was equivalent to that of the Qingxuan Sect in the Xuanling Continent.

The several major families below are likely to be just like the major sects in Xuanling Continent, always ready to strive for the number one position.

Even the Jiang family, to which Jiang Baimo belongs, may be one of them.

Although Jiang Baimo had a conflict with the Jiang family because of Changkong Hao, Jiang Baimo is a member of the Jiang family after all. He has lived in the Jiang family for so many years and must have respected elders and familiar friends.

Leng Zhuxin didn't dare to gamble, so naturally she wouldn't tell Jiang Baimo her guess and the truth that her parents were being hunted by cultivators.

He said to Jiang Baimo very calmly, "You and I are just guessing. Maybe I just happen to look like a Leng family member, or maybe our ancestors have a little blood of the Leng family in the upper realm, and my generation has a companion beast.

Whether I am a member of the Leng family still needs to be investigated."

Jiang Baimo is not a member of the Leng family, so naturally he cannot determine Leng Zhuxin's identity based on bloodline.

Even though he was 99% sure in his heart, he still couldn't be completely sure, so he asked about Leng Zhuxin's father again.

Leng Zhuxin reported his name as Leng Changdao, and also said that he had lived in Wanshou City since he was a child.

"Leng Changdao? Is he really just an ordinary mortal? Without spiritual roots?"

Jiang Baimo asked in disbelief. He had previously guessed that Leng Qian had hidden his identity in the mortal world.

"No, I'm just an ordinary mortal. My mother should have spiritual roots, but I don't know what kind of spiritual roots they are."

Leng Zhuxin shook her head again and replied without any hesitation.

Jiang Baimo still didn't give up, guessing that Leng Qian was hiding his strength.

But after Leng Zhuxin said that she and Leng Changdao had no blood relationship, he could no longer think that Leng Changdao was Leng Qian.

Come to think of it, if Leng Changdao is really Leng Qian, a Daluo Jinxian can easily tear through space to bring his wife and daughter back to the upper realm, so why should he live in the small Wanshou City for a long time.

I'm afraid Leng Qian had met with an accident before Leng Zhuxin was born.

Jiang Baimo sighed heavily and felt a little sorry for Leng Zhuxin.

But at the same time, doubts began to arise in his mind. If Leng Qian and his wife were really forced to the lower realm by the evil cultivators, they could easily return to the upper realm after escaping the evil cultivators' pursuit.

The couple disappeared fourteen years ago, and the teleportation array between the upper and lower worlds was also suddenly damaged fourteen years ago. Ning Yanmi also changed her identity and became Ning Mi, married another man, and gave birth to Leng Zhuxin in the mortal world.

Although Ning Mi's strength is not high in the upper realm, he is also a human immortal. Even if he is oppressed by the rules of the Xuanling Continent, he is at least in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and is considered one of the strongest people in the Xuanling Continent.

The lifespan of humans in the immortal realm is as long as ten thousand years. Fourteen years ago, Ning Mi was only five hundred years old. It would be impossible for him to die without an accident.

Unless one has suffered a fatal injury or his cultivation has plummeted to below the Foundation Establishment Stage, damaging his bones, he will die early.

The person who could force Leng Qian and Ning Mi into such a situation and make them escape to the lower world couldn't possibly be a demonic cultivator.

If they are truly demonic cultivators, they are much safer in the upper realm than in the lower realm.

Fourteen years ago...

Jiang Baimo carefully recalled whether there had been any major movements among the major families fourteen years ago. He was not very clear about other families, but he only knew that almost every family had sent people to the border to fight against the demons.

But he knew something about the personnel changes in the Jiang family and his maternal grandfather's Bai family back then.

That year, it seemed that all the ancestors of the Jiang and Bai families who were above the Golden Immortal level had come out of seclusion, but what was told to the outside world was that the ancestors were in seclusion at a critical moment and could not come out to rush to the border.
