Song Xin left Shanshui Lingze and returned to the valley outside. As soon as they came out, they saw the disciples of the Five Pecks of Rice Cult, all with happy faces, collecting materials from the dead lizards and catfishes on the ground. This trip gave them a bumper harvest. Although there is no demon elixir, these leather bones are made of fine materials.
Luo Yao heard the sound of footsteps and turned around hastily. She was instantly overjoyed to see that it was really Song Xin who had returned intact. I couldn't hold back my excitement for a moment, and actually rushed over and hugged Song Xin tightly in front of everyone.
However, the practitioner's hug almost suffocated Song Xin to death.
"Wait, be gentle..." Song Xin felt as if she was being tightly clamped by iron pliers, and she could hardly breathe.
Only then did Luo Yao realize that she had lost her composure, her cheeks instantly turned red, and she hurriedly let go of her hand. Zhang Xiuyang, who was behind him, glanced at them and said with a smile: "How about it, what I said is right, Brother Song can't die."
Luo Yao wiped away the tears of excitement from the corners of her eyes and asked eagerly: "How did you get out? Where is that spiritual beast?".
Song Xin led the two of them to a quiet place, calmly looked into Luo Yao's eyes and said, "The spiritual beast has been subdued by me."
Zhang Xiuyang was immediately overjoyed, "Congratulations, Brother Song, this is a spiritual beast! How did you tame it?"
But Song Xin kept paying attention to Luo Yao's expression, and finally caught a hint of disappointment on her face, but it was immediately replaced by joy.
Song Xin got straight to the point and asked: "Luo Yao, do you know who that spiritual beast is? She is Li Hansu, my maid in Biyong. If it weren't for her this time, you might be in trouble. .”
Luo Yao was shocked, "How could it be her?" He thought the spirit beast was just hiding there and swallowed Li Hansu when it came out.
Song Xin nodded and told the two of them the whole story. After hearing this, they all found it unbelievable that a spiritual beast could be disguised as a human being using secret techniques, and that it could still escape the detection of practitioners.
"The sect master of Guangfutang is one of the top demons now, and he truly deserves his reputation."
Song Xin smiled and asked, "Luo Yao, you came to Xudu this time because of this spiritual beast, right?"
A trace of panic flashed across Luo Yao's face, and she calmed down after a moment, "You...how did you know?"
Zhang Xiuyang felt something was wrong, frowned and looked at her and said, "Do you know there are spiritual beasts here?"
Seeing that Song Xin had guessed it, Luo Yao simply nodded generously, "I am here to find out the whereabouts of that spirit beast. The great elder told me to report to the family immediately once I find out about the spirit beast. In that case... ” Speaking of which, she hesitated.
"That way, you can gain a stronger bargaining chip in the competition for the future head of the family?" Seeing her hesitation, Song Xin said what she was thinking.
Luo Yao raised her head and looked directly into his eyes, "That's exactly it."
"If you tell the Luo family, will they take away the spiritual beast that Song Xin just conquered!?" Zhang Xiuyang asked loudly.
Luo Yao nodded hurriedly, "Absolutely not. The head of the family and the first elder are on good terms with Song Xin. He is also the adopted son of the first elder, and they will never force Song Xin. But the same cannot be said for other families. Maybe they will He stole it secretly..."
Song Xin nodded. She was right. Once the news gets out today, it will probably attract a lot of people to covet her. And not only practitioners, maybe some hidden monsters will also come. The injured female mantis in Guangfutang may come to visit her in the future.
Finally, Luo Yao suggested: "Song Xin, can you go to the Luo family with me and meet the great elder. Tell the whole story clearly. I think he will definitely protect you if he knows."
"Of course I want to see him, but not now. Well, if I don't go, he will come find me."
Zhang Xiuyang took a step forward, "I'll go with you. If they are not good for you, even though Luo Shi is powerful, they don't dare to embarrass my disciples!"
"Zhang Xiuyang, what do you mean? Do you think I want to deceive him and then seize the spiritual beast?" Luo Yao said with a blush on her face.
Zhang Xiuyang was already a little unhappy because Luo Yao concealed his true purpose from him, so he was not polite at this time, "Yes, that's what I'm worried about. Unless you make an oath of heaven,
I will never do harm to Song Xin, so I will believe you! "
"You!" Luo Yao's face turned red and white with anger, "If you swear, you will swear, but you must also swear!"
Zhang Xiuyang glared, "What oath did I make?"
"Now the three of us are the ones who know the whereabouts of the spirit beast. What if you go out and talk nonsense?"
When Song Xin saw the two arguing, he shook his head slightly and said, "Xiu Yang, don't worry too much, I'll be fine. But I ask you both to keep the matter of subduing the spirit beast a secret for me today."
Zhang Xiuyang didn't say anything, but actually raised two fingers, "If I, Zhang Xiuyang, reveal the story of Brother Song's subjugation of the spiritual beast, I will be punished by thunder from the sky, and my bones will be crushed to ashes!"
In an instant, a quiet pressure fell, and neither Song Xin nor Luo Yao expected that Zhang Xiuyang would swear an oath in person. The oaths taken by cultivators are all supervised by heavenly punishment. The pressure just now was the result of the oath.
Song Xin was greatly moved, and Luo Yao did not expect that Zhang Xiuyang would actually make an oath, but she would not make such an oath. Zhang Xiuyang looked at Luo Yao, "It's your turn!"
Luo Yao's heart trembled. She didn't expect that Zhang Xiuyang would make a heavenly oath to keep Song Xin's secret, and it was a "thunder oath" that would lead to death if he broke the oath. She gritted her teeth and said, "I can't swear not to leak anything like Xiu Yang, because I have to tell the great elder and the head of the family, but I can swear to ensure your safety in the Luo family."
At this time, Song Xin spoke, "Luo Yao, can you conceal this matter for me for the time being?"
"hide?"
Song Xin nodded, "Yeah, but don't worry, I will tell my adoptive father personally about this in the future. I will also tell him that I asked you to hide it temporarily. He will not pursue you."
"Why?" Luo Yao asked with some confusion.
"Perhaps there are female agents deployed by other families within the Luo family. Once this matter is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous. By then, not only me, but you, the Luo family, may also become the target of public criticism."
"But..." Luo Yao hesitated. What Song Xin said does have some truth to it.
Zhang Xiuyang said: "In any case, Li Hansu saved your life. If it weren't for her, you would have been raped by the lizard and catfish..."
"Xiuyang, stop talking." Song Xin interrupted Zhang Xiuyang. He didn't want to mention Luo Yao's almost being insulted by the lizard catfish again.
Luo Yao glanced at him gratefully and nodded, "Okay, I am willing to swear not to tell this matter. But when I compete for the heir to the family head in the future, I hope you can help me."
Song Xin agreed without thinking, and then he and Luo Yao made an oath respectively. By then, with Song Xin's fighting power, plus Guizu and Xiaoyu, the disciples of Luo Shi and Luo Yao's generation should be no match.
Several people discussed it and said that the spirit beast had escaped and was missing. Probably no one would believe that someone with Song Xin’s level of cultivation could conquer a spiritual beast. Luo Yao's matter was over and he returned to Xuzhou Fairy City first. Zhang Xiuyang led his junior brothers to collect countless lizard catfish materials, and also caught a few very rare pure white lizard catfish beasts, and then prepared to take them back to the sect and hand them over to the master and the others for disposal.
After a brief farewell, the three of them went their separate ways.
It was already the afternoon when Song Xin returned to Xudu alone. When I arrived at the door of my house, I heard someone talking inside.
"Huh? Why is she here?"
Song Xin recognized Tian Qing'er's voice.
"Sister Song, please forgive Qing'er for your previous offense. Qing'er apologizes to you!" In the courtyard of the Song family, Tian Qing'er was kneeling in front of A Jiang and Liu Ling, begging with tears on her face.
"Mrs. Chen, my brother is really not at home..."
"Sister Song, please let your younger brother go and treat the old lady's illness. As long as the illness is cured, I will work hard to repay you!"
Song Xin was slightly surprised when she heard that Tian Qing'er was so humble today. He wanted to go in and drive her away. But he took back his mind and continued to stand across the street and listen.
"Mrs. Chen, you don't have to be like this, get up quickly." After all, Ajiang was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see others crying, so he helped her up.
"Sister Song, did you agree? Did you agree to let your brother get treatment?"
Ajaan still looked embarrassed, "If I see him, I will tell him...
.”
Liu Ling said coldly from the side: "Sister Ajiang, don't be deceived by her. This person has a vicious mind. If you help her this time, she won't be grateful to you and will deal with you next time."
Tian Qing'er was startled when she heard this, and then she cried loudly, "Master Wei has issued an order. If I don't invite my brother back, they will definitely sell me to a prostitute."
Liu Ling snorted and said, "That's a good place for you."
Tian Qing'er's expression suddenly changed, "Why are you so cruel, girl? The Song family sister is a good person, how could she be at your mercy?"
Then she cried and told the whole story. Ever since that time Wei Qi was injured by Rui Jinyin and ran away in embarrassment. Mrs. Wei's health was getting worse day by day. Wei Xi drove Song Xin away after listening to Tian Qing'er's words, and even recruited a Wei Qi, thus angering Tian Qing'er. Her husband Chen Kang was also unwilling to help her, after all Tian Qing'er was just a concubine.
Wei Xi asked her to invite Song Xin back to treat Mrs. Wei's illness. If she didn't get the invitation, she would be sold to a prostitute. They also want to drive away Tian Qing'er's father, Tian Zheng, and his brother.
Tian Qing'er had no choice but to come to the Song family to plead guilty.
After Song Xin understood what happened, he stepped forward and opened the door.
"Brother!? You're back. Where's Li Hansu?" Ajiang asked hurriedly when he saw that Song Xin was back.
"Sister, Li Hansu is fine. What is this woman doing here?"
Tian Qing'er didn't wait for Ajiang to speak, and crawled to Song Xin on her knees, crying: "Mr. Song, Mr. Song, all the mistakes in the past were caused by me. I beg you to forgive Qing'er for your ignorance. Seeing that Mr. Song has just arrived. Du, for the sake of my Tian family’s hospitality to the young master, please help me save my great-uncle.”
After saying that, she kept kowtowing until her forehead was broken.
Song Xin said, "I can save people, but I have a condition."
