In the dark night, Mrs. Zhong, Cui Xinbi, and Lu Zaihua were fighting and walking.
Some of the other disciples were injured, some were exhausted, and they all settled in the small courtyard. Mrs. Zhong originally wanted Lu Zaihua to rest as well, but he said that he was not affected much and decided to go with him.
"This is a gift from Fairy Bai." Lu Zaihua took out the flowing bead and recounted Bai Mengjin's words, saying with guilt, "I thought she took the opportunity to ask for materials, but I didn't expect that at the critical moment, this thing saved her. He killed me. Other sect members were somewhat affected by the demonic energy, but I had no effect at all."
"Why would Fairy Bai ask for materials? With her ability, who wouldn't take the initiative to send property to her?" Cui Xinbi disagreed.
"What Junior Sister Cui said is that I have a villainous heart." Lu Zaihua admitted that he was wrong. "If I can escape today, I will sincerely apologize to her."
When he said this, Cui Xinbi lost her temper.
The three of them finished the battle and were meditating to rest. Cui Xinbi suddenly asked, "Senior Brother Lu, it's this time. Can you tell the truth, how did Senior Sister Lu die?"
"This..." Lu Zaihua's eyes flickered.
Cui Xinbi couldn't help but get angry: "Senior Brother Lu, I thought you were not the kind of person who is obsessed with profit. Am I wrong? Senior Sister Lu is your biological sister. Even if you don't avenge her, you still want to conceal the cause of her death? "
"Xinbi!" Mrs. Zhong called out to ease the atmosphere. "We can talk about these things later. The most important thing now is to find a way out."
"No, mother." Cui Xinbi said seriously, "The cause of Senior Sister Lu's death is probably related to the sudden change in the sect. Fairy Bai gave Senior Brother Lu the treasure and warned me. It means that she has seen that something is wrong with the Xuanyan Sect. If there is a hidden demon in the sect, do you think it has something to do with Senior Brother Leng becoming a demon? I don’t think there is such a coincidence in the world."
Mrs. Zhong was silent for a moment, and after being convinced by her, she sighed: "Xinbi, you have grown up and what you say is reasonable and well-founded. Mother will listen to you."
The mother and daughter looked over together, and Lu Zaihua lowered his head when they looked at him.
"Senior Brother Lu!" Cui Xinbi urged again.
Lu Zaihua had no choice but to say: "Junior Sister Cui, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but it's actually this matter... I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it if you find out."
Cui Xinbi realized something, shook her lips, and asked softly: "Is it related to my father?"
Lu Zaihua looked at her in surprise, finally nodded, and said softly: "Aoshuang... was accidentally killed by the leader. After Leng Qiufeng ran away, the leader wanted to use Aoshuang to force him out, but Aoshuang helped him in turn. Leng Qiufeng ran away, and the leader was so angry that he couldn't stop him..."
At this point, Lu Zaihua showed hatred: "Do you think I really don't care? But my ancestors have forgiven me, so how can I speak?"
Cui Xinbi didn't speak for a long time, and finally shed tears: "Dad..."
Although she was mentally prepared, she was still extremely sad to learn the truth from Lu Zaihua. She put in so much effort and almost lost her life, but it turned out that the murderer was her father. How could she feel so embarrassed?
"Xinbi!" Mrs. Zhong felt extremely distressed and hugged her daughter, "Your father might have had some troubles, and he didn't mean to do it. Zaihua even said he killed by mistake..."
"Mom!" Cui Xinbi wiped away her tears carelessly and retorted loudly, "Haven't you seen the essence of this matter? He will use Senior Sister Lu as bait, which means he does one thing in front of others and another behind his back! He is not the person we see at all. With his appearance, we may have never known him!"
Mrs. Zhong fell silent, and finally said softly: "Silly daughter, you are the only one who doesn't know. Even my mother will not be surprised by whatever your father does."
Cui Xinbi couldn't help but her heart sank: "Mother?"
Mrs. Zhong smiled slightly and said: "How do you think he became the head of the family? He and I are childhood sweethearts, so we are somewhat aware of it. As long as you are here, just pretend that you don't know!"
Cui Xinbi was shocked again: "You..."
She always thought that her parents were loving and harmonious, but it turned out that they were all fake?
"My mother is not interested in these things." Mrs. Zhong said calmly, "As long as you are good and he doesn't go too far, just live your life reluctantly!"
But now, her daughter is clearly not well.
Cui Xinbi was stimulated many times, and it took a while before her mood calmed down.
"Senior Brother Lu, what else do you know?"
Lu Zaihua hesitated for a moment and replied: "I can probably guess that Leng Qiufeng's obsession with the devil has something to do with the leader, but I don't know anything else."
Cui Xinbi nodded, wiped the tears from her face, and said, "Then why don't you believe Uncle Lu?"
Lu Zaihua was silent for a moment and then answered: "Our ancestor knew that Aoshuang died unjustly, but she made a deal with the leader. Do you think she knew the inside story?"
"..."
Cui Xinbi shut her mouth and smiled bitterly: "Okay! All of us are their puppets and playthings."
Lu Zaihua felt very sad: "Junior sister Cui, please be more open-minded! What if we don't accept it? They are elders with advanced cultivation and they can take life and death at their own risk. We have no right to say no."
These words aroused Cui Xinbi's rebellion. She retorted categorically: "No! I don't want to accept my fate! Why?"
"Xinbi!" Mrs. Zhong felt more and more distressed. If she could, she really didn't want her daughter to see the ugliness of the world.
Cui Xinbi had completely calmed down. She thought of Tianyou City and how she had experienced despair when her heart was broken. What happened next? Nothing is destined, whether she, Senior Sister Lu or Senior Brother Leng, why should she accept such a fate?
Senior Brother Leng struggled, Senior Sister Lu fought tooth and nail, and now it was her turn.
After the ups and downs of her mood, Cui Xinbi was calm and her mind was moving very fast.
"Senior Sister Lu's significance to the Lu family is self-evident. Uncle Lu, Master Lu, can even accept this. It shows that the common interests between her and my father are very important. They must have a big common goal."
"Since my father is related to the devil, then I was planted with a devil seed, and there is a high probability that he could save people. But he didn't do that. Instead, he used this kind of thing to go to the Wuji Sect for help. He must have a big agenda."
"Fairy Bai woke up unexpectedly, but Master Ling didn't. What did he want to do by attracting people here?"
Cui Xinbi suddenly looked at the Tower of Enlightenment and asked, "Mom, can the devil's energy not enter the Tower of Enlightenment?"
Mrs. Zhong hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
"Tell me, if you notice something is wrong outside, where will Fairy Bai and Master Ling go?"
Mrs. Zhong and Lu Zaihua both turned their attention to the Enlightenment Tower.
Most importantly, Cui Xinbi remembered something.
When she was in the Sea of Consciousness, Fairy Bai asked her, between Master Lu and Uncle Wu Nian, whom did she believe.
"Uncle Wu Nian Master." Cui Xinbi said, "Let's go find him!"
