Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

Du Mingxing's expression remained unchanged. To be honest, he didn't have the heart to gossip right now. Wang Ming glanced at him, knowing he was upset. He pretended to be clueless, pretending he knew nothing and continued talking.

"Junior brother, you know, I come from the Wang family."

Du Mingxing looked at him in surprise. He didn't know Wang Ming was from the Wang family. He didn't expect Wang Ming to be so low-key.

The Wang family is one of the five great families.

However, the relationship between the Wang family and the Netherworld Spirit Sect is complicated, and many disciples in the sect are from the Wang family.

Wang Ming pretended not to notice Du Mingxing's expression. He lowered his voice and said, "Recently, I went back to visit my family. The head of the family was very affectionate. Actually, this is normal."

Du Mingxing's attention was slowly drawn to the Wang family. The affairs of the Wang family were still worth gossiping about.

"That night, my father quietly told me that the clan leader's legitimate son, Wang Yueheng, was discovered by the clan members. He was practicing evil skills and had actually absorbed the skills of many of the family's illegitimate sons. The clan leader suppressed the matter on the spot."

Du Mingxing was surprised when he heard this. Absorbing the power of others was indeed an evil skill. If this matter wasn't handled properly, the entire cultivation world would likely turn against him.

However, he couldn't quite figure out what this had to do with the Wang family patriarch being particularly close to Wang Ming?

He became interested and temporarily put his worries aside, staring at Wang Ming closely.

Wang Ming was secretly proud of himself.

"My father told me I should pretend I didn't know about this. Before, I was just a handyman in the ancestral mansion, you know? The patriarch originally wanted to suppress the matter. But Wang Yueheng actually took a fancy to the fiancée of the patriarch's illegitimate son, Wang Yuele, and raped her."

This time, Du Mingxing was a little confused.

The Wang family’s family style is so exciting!

Even though the Du family had always been dependent on the Wang family, and although illegitimate sons and daughters were usually not valued, once their spiritual roots were detected, they would be given priority training by the clan.

To be honest, after having spiritual roots, identity is not important. What is important is who has the strength.

Besides, they are just mortals, and illegitimate sons and daughters will definitely not be bullied by legitimate sons like this.

To be honest, if a man can't even keep his fiancée, he is living in vain.

"My father is a distant branch of the Wang family. If I hadn't disturbed the ancestral mansion, he would not even be able to enter the main house of the Wang family. These bastards are out of my reach. I will definitely not get involved in such matters. Well, blame it on me. It's a rare trip home, so I stayed two days longer. My father is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. I left him a Foundation Establishment Pill, hoping that he can establish his foundation."

Du Minxing looked at Wang Ming and couldn't help feeling a little envious.

Even though his father was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, he was still a cultivator. His father, Steward Du, was just an ordinary mortal. Was his indenture still in the hands of the Du family head?

He was just an outer disciple of the Netherworld Spiritual Sect and had no chance of competing with the head of the Du family.

Thinking of this, he began to feel irritated again.

Wang Ming glanced at him and pretended not to notice his irritability.

"However, the strange thing is that Wang Yueheng is said to be able to absorb other people's spiritual energy, but his cultivation level is not very good. He has only just reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. The head of the family has always refused to let him join the Nether Spirit Sect. However, Wang Yuele has been building his foundation for a long time. After this incident, Wang Yuele has attacked Wang Yueheng many times, both openly and secretly, and always lost at the critical moment."

"Ah?" Du Minxing was attracted again. "Why? Can't he absorb other people's spiritual energy?"

"Yeah, I'm also surprised. My father refused to let me get involved in this matter. The head of the family was so enthusiastic, probably because he wanted me not to mention this matter to the ancestor. Tsk, I don't care about his family's mess. My mother is gone, and I'm an only child. I thought that after my father has established his foundation, I would find the head of the sect and let my father join the sect as a manager. That way, I will have nothing to do with their Wang family."

As soon as he said this, Du Minxing's eyes were full of envy.

"Brother Wang, you are the best! From now on, father and son will be reunited, and they won't be burdened by the family."

Wang Ming patted Du Minxing on the shoulder, agreeing with what he said.

"Junior Brother Du, I'm curious. What kind of evil skill can absorb the power of others without increasing your cultivation? As a result, I was really lucky. On the first day of my departure, Wang Yuele went to find Wang Yueheng again, and the two started fighting again. After all, in the Wang family, as long as no one is beaten to death, the head of the family will not punish cultivators for sparring with each other."

Du Minxing raised his eyes and looked at Wang Ming, his face full of curiosity.

"I was so curious, I kept hiding nearby and watching. And guess what happened?"

"What's wrong?"

Du Minxing really understood and took the initiative to ask.

"I noticed that Wang Yueheng wasn't nervous at all. On the contrary, he was quite arrogant. When he was about to lose, Wang Yuele seemed to have received a curse, and all his spiritual energy dissipated. Conversely, at this moment, Wang Yueheng suddenly became more powerful, and it seemed as if he had reached the foundation-building stage."

"Why is it so?"

A possibility suddenly occurred to Du Minxing.

He couldn't help but look a little pale.

When he was a child, his father once took him to the master's study, and he fell asleep hiding behind the bookshelf.

The head of the family suddenly sent his father out urgently.

Butler Du looked around the study for a long time but didn't see his son, so he thought he had gone out to play.

He thought that he would finish his business and then go back to look for his son. After all, he was in the Du Mansion and would not get lost.

Du Minxing possesses three spiritual roots: earth, wood, and water. However, he has a unique ability: he can get covered in mud. When he was very young, playing hide-and-seek with his friends, Du Minxing discovered that as long as he didn't want others to find him, they wouldn't be able to find him.

He didn't tell anyone, not even his father.

Even now, no one knows except himself.

That day, he just woke up and was about to go out.

At this time, the door opened.

Du Yu led Du Juan in.

Although Du Minxing is young, he is not stupid.

His father was able to serve as the steward of the Du Mansion for decades and remain standing, which was due to his extreme shrewdness.

In this respect, he has inherited some of his father's shrewdness.

The moment he noticed the head of the family and the eldest daughter coming in, he tried hard not to let them discover him.

Du Yu asked Du Juan to sit opposite him.

"Juan'er, I called you here today because I have something important to tell you."

The cuckoo is strange.

"Dad, what's going on? You're so mysterious."

"Juan'er, do you know why the Wang family is willing to let the Du family depend on them?"

After saying this, Du Minxing tried even harder to avoid being discovered by Du Yu. Du Yu was now at the peak of his foundation building stage, and he even suppressed his breathing. For some reason, when he tried to turn into earth, he was indistinguishable from the earth, without a trace of breath.

Du Yu glanced at Du Juan and took out a bracelet from his ring space.

"Juan'er, you must first acknowledge your master with a drop of blood."

As he spoke, he pulled Dujuan's hand over, exerted force with his fingertips, and squeezed a drop of blood from Dujuan's finger into the bracelet.

"How do you feel?" Du Yu looked at Du Juan and asked nervously.

"Dad, I don't seem to feel anything, except that I feel like I've memorized something. That's all. Dad, didn't you give me some space?"

"Silly child, this is worth more than a space treasure. I'm telling you, this is the Du family's heirloom, the Huanling Bracelet. The Huanling Bracelet, as the name suggests, can replace the abundant spiritual energy of others with yours when your spiritual energy is exhausted."

Dujuan couldn't help but take a breath.

Think about it, when two people are fighting, at the critical moment, one's spiritual energy is about to be exhausted, and he suddenly exchanges spiritual energy with the opponent, then he will definitely be defeated.

"Dad, wow, this function is so powerful."

Du Yu glanced at Du Juan and spoke slowly.

"Because it's so against the will of heaven, there are restrictions. It can only be exchanged for the spiritual energy of blood relatives."

"Ah, what's the use of this? It's so useless." Du Juan suddenly went from being surprised to disappointed. The gap was too big for her to accept for a while.

"So, I won't use it for anything I can cultivate. However, if the head of the family is too weak, I still have to use it to prevent the illegitimate sons and side branches from seizing the position of the head of the Du family."

As Du Yu spoke, his eyes were a little vacant, as if he was recalling something.

"Juan'er, do you know why our Du family can rely on the Wang family?"

Du Juan was a little puzzled. What was the big deal? Aren't there many families that rely on the great aristocratic families?

"Back then, one of my enemies came looking for revenge. I had only just reached the third level of Qi Refining and was no match for him. The Du family had a pair of Huanling bracelets. To help the Du family overcome that crisis, I went to see the head of the Wang family and presented him with the other Huanling bracelet."

Du Juan was getting a little anxious. There were actually two Huanling bracelets. She wanted to ask, but Du Yu raised his hand to signal her to listen.

"Putting two Huanling Bracelets together can indeed draw spiritual energy from anyone within a 500-meter radius. However, it can only be used once a year. Exchanging spiritual energy consumes a huge amount of the Huanling Bracelet's energy. Therefore, it can only be used once a year, especially to exchange spiritual energy from strangers. However, it's obviously a useless function."

Du Juan thought about it. It could only be used once a year, so it was better than nothing. It really wasn't very useful. But in a critical moment, it could save her life.

Du Yu looked at Du Juan. "But can the entire Du family survive? This little function is not worth mentioning. Besides, don't I still have one left?"

"So, we can only exchange blood relatives?"

Du Yu looked at Du Juan and spoke with some earnestness.

"Juan'er, you must join the sect. When the time comes, I will pick out a few concubines with spiritual roots for you to go with you. That way, even if something happens, this will be your trump card."

This time, Dujuan started to act coquettishly.

"Dad, you are always good to your daughter."

"Silly child, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

He now thought of the history of the Huanling Bracelet and simply told his daughter about it.

"Back then, the person who refined the Huanling Bracelet did so out of a desire to protect the position of the heir apparent. It's said that our ancestor had a head who was a genius at refining weapons. However, his heir apparent was a loser, and to protect his heir apparent's position, he spent almost his entire life before successfully refining the weapon. Therefore, our branch was able to retain the position of head of the family."

After they finished talking, Du Yu took Du Juan away.

After hearing Du Yu's secret, Du Minxing froze, not daring to move at all. Du Yu's words kept echoing in his mind, like a thunderclap, exploding in his heart, leaving him speechless with shock.

His father's surname was not Du before, but he was a servant of the Du family.

The so-called house-born children refer to those who were born and raised in the Du family and have been slaves for generations.

They were of low status and had been slaves of the Du family for generations, and their children were also slaves of the Du family.

The fact that the head of the Du family actually gave a surname to Du Minxing's father was undoubtedly a great gift.

However, this secret made Du Minxing feel extremely heavy.

He knew very well that such a secret should never be known by a slave.

In this hierarchical society, the status of slaves is so humble that they have no right to know about the affairs of their masters, let alone explore the secrets hidden behind them.

Du Minxing couldn't help but worry about himself and his father. He was afraid that this secret would bring unexpected trouble to their family.

Du Minxing knew very well that if he gave up the idea of ​​imitating the soil now, he would be immediately exposed to everyone, which was a result he absolutely did not want to see.

Therefore, even though three days had passed, he still didn't dare to relax at all, and he stubbornly maintained his earth-like state, ensuring that he was always in a hidden state where he would not be discovered.

Fortunately, since Du Yu brought Du Juan into the study that day, no one else has come here.

This allowed Du Minxing to stay in the study with peace of mind without having to worry about someone suddenly breaking in and exposing his identity.

However, as time went by, Du Yu began to feel uneasy.

He didn't know how long he could hold on in this state, let alone what the situation was like outside.

Could his father have discovered that he was missing?

Could it be that the people in the Du Mansion are looking for him everywhere?

These questions kept circling in his mind, making him feel more and more anxious.

Just as Du Yu was daydreaming, there was a slight noise outside the door.

His nerves tensed up instantly and his heart beat faster involuntarily.

Could it be that someone is coming?

Du Yu pricked up his ears nervously, listening carefully to the movement outside the door.

It was already midnight on the third day. Everything was quiet and the whole world was immersed in tranquility.

He hid quietly behind the bookshelf, his heart like a burning flame, anxious and eager.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open and a guard walked in.

He moved very gently, slowly opened the door without closing it, and walked into the study to look around.

Du Minxing's heart was about to jump out of his throat. He knew that this was his only chance and he had to seize it.

Like an agile cat, he moved silently to the door without making a sound, as if blending into the darkness.

Like a flash of lightning, he quickly turned sideways and walked out of the open door.

As soon as he got out, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he didn't dare to relax at all.

Because he knew the danger was not truly over, he still maintained the idea of ​​​​simulating the earth, allowing his body to blend into the surrounding environment, not daring to let this idea pause for a moment.

He ran to his room in the Du family like the wind, his heart beating like a drum, almost bursting out of his chest.

When he finally rushed into the door of his room, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Thinking of this, Du Minxing couldn't help but shudder. A chill surged up his spine and quickly spread throughout his body.
