Sheng Hongyi knew that she would not be able to avoid being questioned by Sheng Ping today, but she did not expect Sheng Ping to be so sharp.
She felt a little nervous. Even though she had thought well before, she was still a little nervous when she actually talked about it in front of Sheng Ping.
What are you nervous about?
Perhaps she was afraid of seeing the disappointment on Master's face that she was so cruel and ruthless?
Or maybe she was afraid that Master would stop her, in which case she would be disappointed in Master.
No matter which outcome, in Sheng Hongyi's heart, it meant that the master-disciple relationship between them had come to an end.
In her long life, from past life to present, she could count on one hand the people who really cared about her, and she didn't want to lose any of them easily.
However, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and there is no way to avoid it today.
She thought about what the Black Mountain Demon Dao had just said about Sheng Ping. The master seemed to be different from what she had imagined.
Therefore, he is not actually a stubborn and stubborn person, right?
Her thoughts turned over and over again, and when she looked up again, her face returned to a kind of indifferent calm.
It's not so much calm as it is a kind of numbness like waiting for a sentence.
"It's Sheng Yunying."
After saying that, the atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
Sheng Hongyi almost held her breath, waiting for something. However, after a seemingly long but short silence, Sheng Ping in front of her just asked plainly:
"Oh? Why? Let me guess, you were called out temporarily by me today, so he was waiting outside? Why did he want to kill you?"
"Well, why are you searching for his soul? Who ordered him to kill you? Are you searching for his soul to find out the mastermind behind it?"
In a few words, Sheng Ping had straightened things out and made it clear.
Sheng Hongyi was relieved that her roommates were at odds with each other, but Sheng Ping, as the head of the Sheng family, could still remain rational, listen to what she had to say, and help her analyze things.
At least, for now, her master trusts her.
Sheng Hongyi suddenly felt an impulse in her heart. After all, these matters in the Sheng family were not something she could bear alone, nor should she alone:
"Master, what would you do if... roommates were at war with each other?"
She finally asked this question. After she asked it, she suddenly felt relieved. She felt that a big stone that had been pressing her down and making her feel miserable was finally removed.
Sheng Ping's face was condensed, and there seemed to be some huge waves surging in his eyes. After just a moment, he fell silent again.
He raised his hand, and a three-color ray of light escaped from his fingertips. It moved like thunder and condensed into a note-insulating rune familiar to Sheng Hongyi. The next moment, Sheng Hongyi felt the silence around him.
This was the first time that Sheng Hongyi had seen the Golden elixir cultivator perform serious spells. At this moment, she suddenly had a real feeling. This world was completely different from the world she had lived in for more than 20 years. Same.
And she was in it and became a part of it. The tree wanted to be quiet but the wind continued. It was not something she could do as she wanted.
After Sheng Ping finished doing this, he nodded and nodded at the seat in the Black Mountain Demon Road:
"sit."
Then he took out two wine glasses, placed them on the table, and said slowly:
"Didn't you buy some wine? Come on, fill it up."
He was so calm, Sheng Hongyi's chaotic emotions gradually calmed down, and gave her the courage to continue talking.
She stepped forward as instructed, took out the kind of wine she drank on the road today, picked up a new jar, opened the seal, and filled both glasses without hesitation.
Then he raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
The fiery wine flowed down the esophagus, and the spiritual energy contained in it flowed slowly, giving Sheng Hongyi time to figure out where to start.
She started talking about her encounter with the demon cultivator a few months ago, and then she thought that Sheng Yunfan's spiritual root was abnormal, and then she was blocked by Sheng Yunying. Through the soul search, she knew that Sheng Yunying had left evidence of collusion between Sheng Yuntao and the demon cultivator...
She only concealed one thing and did not explain that she had Cong Ju Linggen. She only said that that day in Ninglu Pavilion, she competed with Wang Zhan and was targeted by the demon cultivator.
After saying that, the courtyard was quiet for a long time.
Sheng Ping drank one glass after another without asking anything.
Sheng Hongyi also drank one glass after another. She said that it was hard to take back the words. She did not regret it, but she was not sure what decision Sheng Ping would make in the end.
When the master and apprentice worked together to finish the jar of wine, Sheng Ping picked up the empty jar and found that no wine could be poured out. He simply threw it away and the jar fell to the ground and shattered instantly.
The sound of "cracking" seemed to break a certain stagnant atmosphere.
"You go back first, you don't have to worry about this matter." Sheng Ping said coldly.
Sheng Hongyi stood up and walked out silently. She closed her eyes. Finally, there was still a gap between master and disciple, right?
The master's indifferent attitude was actually within her expectation.
After all, she still lost someone who really cared about her.
She couldn't help but shake her head, trying to get rid of her frustration, but just after taking three steps, Sheng Ping's voice suddenly came from behind:
"Come here tomorrow to draw the talisman, don't be lazy."
After that, the conversation changed and her tone became familiar to Sheng Hongyi: she was angry and resentful:
"When will you change your laziness? One month? I don't want to make you look bad in front of outsiders. Just a few fourth-grade ghost talismans, and you need one month?!"
He unceremoniously stripped Sheng Hongyi's face:
"Could it be that you feel that you have two Foundation Establishment Pills and that Foundation Establishment is within easy reach, so you are lazy again? Let me tell you, Sheng Hongyi, as long as you are my disciple, don't be lazy."
"Is your consciousness injured today? I see that you are in good condition and have no discomfort. I will give you three days to repair your consciousness, and then give you seven days to draw the twelve talismans. After ten days, you can move Come to my courtyard and build the foundation, I will protect you!"
Sheng Hongyi: "..." The sadness was stuck, and it made her particularly uncomfortable.
She turned around suddenly and looked at Sheng Ping in disbelief:
"Master? You...you're not angry with me?"
Sheng Ping sneered:
"How is that possible? Next time, if you keep hiding something like this that is related to the survival of the Sheng family, I will immediately abdicate and make way for the next person. You will be the elder of the Sheng family. When you are done playing with the Sheng family, it will have nothing to do with me!"
Sheng Hongyi: "...Master, this is unethical. I refuse." Let her be the elder of the Sheng family?
Hehe, her master may have thought that the Sheng family didn't die quickly enough.
Sheng Ping continued to sneer:
"It's not up to you. You dared to hide the matter of colluding with the demon cultivator for Sheng Yuntao. Now I wonder if you were reincarnated by a pig spirit. You just look smart on the surface."
Sheng Ping seemed to have activated his poisonous tongue skill today. After spraying Sheng Hongyi once, the burning feeling in his heart subsided a little.
He thought about it, but still couldn't get angry.
He still felt that he couldn't let this traitor go like this. If he continued to let him go like this, would she go to heaven? Was she going to kill someone in private and then run away with her family?
