Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

Qingyang Venerable Saint looked up at Zhong Lingxin: "Is that so?"

Zhong Lingxin bowed and said, "Reporting to Master, on the Heavenly Ladder, for some reason, Qu Xin gathered a group of children to beat me up, trying to make me break the rules on the Heavenly Ladder."

Fortunately, my disciple was alert, and fortunately, all the junior disciples of my Qingyun Sect are excellent; they helped my disciple escape Qu Xin's assassination attempt.

Finally, Qu Xin got impatient and tried to headbutt her disciple. The disciple simply dodged her but didn't hit her.

At the top of the Heavenly Ladder, Qu Xin first cursed at people, then took out a whip and tried to slap a female disciple's face until it was bruised. The disciple then snatched the whip from her.

As for hitting her...

Hehe, let's have a friendly competition!

Bored at the top of the ladder, we sparred with each other for a bit.

Na Quxin claimed to have reached the third level of Qi Refining.

"This disciple didn't gain any advantage; my hand hurts!"

Everyone in the hall held back their laughter, their faces twitching with suppressed mirth.

The corner of Qingyang Venerable Saint's mouth twitched twice.

He suddenly took a liking to this young disciple.

At least he's not a tight-lipped person.

Yun Miaomiao, the peak master of Feiyun Peak who had been looking to take Qu Xin as her disciple, heard this and angrily shouted, "Nonsense! At such a young age, you've already managed to distort the truth. It was clearly you who beat Qu Xin."

Zhong Lingxin turned to look at Yun Miaomiao, not even bothering to give her a proper greeting, and said in a deep voice, "Whether I'm lying or not, go ask the hundreds of people at the top of the Heavenly Ladder if Qu Xin was the one who started it?"

Yu Letian listened from the side and couldn't help but laugh.

Zhong Lingxin is too good at talking. It's true that Qu Xin started the fight, but Qu Xin was also the one who got hit.

They're so good at twisting the facts.

Seeing how eloquent Zhong Lingxin was, Linglong Yue rolled her eyes and said, "In that case, let the two of them confront each other. It just so happens that you, Miaomiao, also want to take Qu Xin as your disciple. In the future, as direct disciples, you will see each other often, so it's good to clear up the misunderstanding face to face."

None of the peak masters and elders in the main hall wanted to offend the Qu family, so they naturally wouldn't stand up to oppose it.

Qingyang Venerable Saint didn't care at all. The Qu family couldn't be considered a major family in the Lingyun Sect; they merely relied on other families for survival. As for Qu Xin's father, he was his defeated opponent back then, and he was no match for him now either, avoiding him whenever he saw him.

Soon, Qu Xin excitedly entered the main hall, shouting that the Qingyun Sect should punish Zhong Lingxin, otherwise her Qu family would not spare the Qingyun Sect.

Zhong Lingxin's gaze swept over the faces of the big shots of the Qingyun Sect, and she saw that all of them had their eyes blazing with anger.

Only two people stood out from the crowd.

One was Linglong Yue, whose eyes were filled with eager flattery.

Another one is Qingyang Zunsheng, her master.

Yes, that was her master.

She called out "Master" several times, and Qingyang Venerable Saint did not refuse, which clearly indicated his tacit approval.

Qingyang Zunsheng looked at Qu Xin with a mocking gaze, as if watching a clown in a performance.

Qu Xin shouted for a long time without getting a response. She angrily raised her head, looked directly at the person sitting in the highest position, and pointed at him: "You, what are you looking at!"

You'd better punish Zhong Lingxin right now! Punish her as a slave! Yes, punish her to become my slave! I want her to be my slave!

I'm going to torture her to death!

The Venerable Qingyang is not having it!

He finally found a disciple he liked, but someone wanted to turn her into a slave.

Let alone Qu Xin, who is so young, even Qu Xin's mother and father are not qualified.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Qu Xin's arm fell limp. He said coldly, "Don't even mention you, even your mother Qu Fengqing, your entire Qu family, including your father who doesn't dare to acknowledge you, wouldn't dare to speak to me like that."

Zhong Lingxin was stunned.

This sentence contains a lot of information.

Qu Xin was also stunned; she knew her father.

That's the head of the Law Enforcer Alliance, one of the three major organizations in the entire Immortal Spirit Continent.

However, his father was afraid of his legal wife and dared not acknowledge her mother, let alone her.

Although it wasn't a secret, no one dared to mention it in front of her.

In her past life, she only learned about it from her mother shortly before she died.

Her mother begged her father to save her before she was told about her background.

Qu Xin was stunned on the spot, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

Her mother had told her that this matter couldn't be mentioned, otherwise, if she angered her father's wife, she would kill her and her mother.

Qu Xin snapped out of her daze and shouted in panic, "You're talking nonsense! I don't have a father!"

Qingyang Venerable Saint was too lazy to talk to a child, so he stood up and wanted to leave with his newly accepted disciple.

Zhong Lingxin, however, was not about to let Qu Xin off the hook. She suddenly said loudly, "I know, her mother is a mount, her father's mount."

The faces of the Qingyun Sect's high-ranking members in the entire hall twitched once again.

That's a very profound statement.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhong Lingxin said smugly, "Master, am I right? Her mother was her father's mount, which is why she was born."

Qingyang Venerable Saint suppressed a laugh: "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. Where did you learn this nonsense?"

The high-ranking members of the Qingyun Sect in the main hall all pricked up their ears, eager to know where Zhong Lingxin had learned those words.

Zhong Lingxin maintained her smug expression and said loudly, "The storyteller said that when I was at home, I would sneak out to listen to the drum music. The storyteller said that children who have fathers but cannot acknowledge them are all children born to their mounts."

Some powerful immortals have several mounts.

Master, you're so powerful that even Qu Xin's father is afraid of you. You must have several mounts too.

When I go out to gain experience, I will find you some mounts.

Master, would you rather fly in the sky or run fast on the ground...?

Qingyang Zunsheng, who had just stood up, was so startled by the loud announcement of his new disciple that he almost plopped back down in his armchair.

He hurriedly grabbed his apprentice by the collar and said, "Send me a message when you've prepared the apprenticeship ceremony." He then stepped out of the main hall, carrying the kicking Zhong Lingxin back to the back mountain.

He made up his mind; this apprentice was spouting too much strange nonsense, and his thinking was too unconventional.

The newly recruited apprentice had to be kept busy, so busy that he forgot about finding a mount.

In the main hall of the Qingyun Sect, all the high-ranking members of the Qingyun Sect burst into laughter without any regard for their image.

This is hilarious! This bachelor, who's been a bachelor for thousands of years, was actually waiting for his apprentice to find him a mount!

Seeing that Qingyang Zunsheng had flown away, Linglongyue immediately walked towards the grand master's chair in the center.

Only by sitting in that chair can one have a commanding position, overwhelm everyone present with their presence, and take control of what happens next.

Her useless husband is going to the back mountain, so she'll fight for the position of sect leader.

She would never relinquish power easily.
