In the practice room, Qin Xinyao's spiritual power fluctuated higher and higher, like waves in the sea, gaining momentum.
Outside the door, Jing Yingrong stood under the eaves, looking down at a few thin grasses coming out of the gaps in the steps, as if they were frozen and motionless.
Suddenly, a cat poked its head out from around the corner and ran out of an unknown yard. The cat stared at Jing Yingrong for a while, then swaggered over with its round body, stretched its neck and rubbed against Jing Yingrong's legs.
"Meow."
Jing Yingrong turned her gaze and looked at the tickling cat.
"Meow." The cat meowed to her, purring with contentment in its throat.
Mirror Yingrong: "Meow."
Cat: "Meow——"
Jing Yingrong: "Meow..."
As soon as Qin Xinyao opened the door, she saw a person and a cat meowing.
The cat looked back at Qin Xinyao, bowed her waist and kicked her feet, and quickly slipped away.
Qin Xinyao asked blankly: "Sister Jing, do you like cats?"
Jing Yingrong: "It likes me, so I like it."
"Oh..." Qin Xinyao seemed to understand but not understand.
She immediately remembered the business and said happily: "I have broken through to the middle stage of foundation building!"
She spun around in a circle, the corners of her skirt flying like a blooming flower.
Jing Yingrong: "Yeah."
"Thanks to Sister Jing for your guidance, otherwise I don't know how long it would have taken me to break through."
"It works best the first time. It will get slower in the future."
"That is much better than my original cultivation method. It is completely different from cloud and mud. I never knew that I could practice like this."
"Um."
After the excitement passed, Qin Xinyao looked at Jing Yingrong with apologetic eyes and said, "I've been neglecting my own practice. Sister Jing, you have helped me a lot, but I haven't helped you yet."
"Not urgent."
Jing Yingrong's emotionless answer made Qin Xinyao smile.
"Let's go out for a walk. If you want to live more like a human being, you have to have more contact with people."
"good."
…
After leaving the Qin family mansion, Jing Yingrong appeared and walked with Qin Xinyao.
Jing Yingrong: "Someone is following you."
Qin Xinyao felt it and said: "I can't feel it. It seems that this time the opponent's cultivation level is much higher than mine, and he is not the rotten fish and shrimps in the past."
Jing Yingrong: "Do you want to deal with it?"
Qin Xinyao thought for a moment and said, "No need. We won't leave the city, so he won't dare to do anything. I just want to see how long he can follow."
"Um."
Qin Xinyao took the mirror to a restaurant.
"This is the best restaurant in the city. The ingredients in the drinks and dishes are all spiritual."
Qin Xinyao ordered a few dishes, "Sister Jing, are you drinking?"
Jing Yingrong: "I know how to drink."
"Then let's have a pot of 'Fire Cloud'." Qin Xinyao said to the waiter standing next to her.
After the drinks and dishes were served, Qin Xinyao lifted the jug and filled the two glasses.
Jing Yingrong raised her glass and took a sip, Qin Xinyao asked expectantly: "How is it?"
Jing Yingrong: "I don't feel it."
Qin Xinyao: "..."
The two of them chatted while eating and drinking. Qin Xinyao was talking most of the time.
"My mother fell in love with that scumbag Di Bin and refused to listen to my grandfather's dissuasion. She was determined to be with him. My grandfather had no choice but to agree to let him marry into the Qin family.
I heard that when my grandfather did not leave the Qin family, the scumbag was very considerate and considerate to my mother. My mother was frail and had injured her Taoist foundation due to a mistake in her cultivation. Her vitality was even more severely damaged when she gave birth to me. Grandpa couldn't bear to see her cultivation stop and her lifespan run out, so he went out to find a remedy.
My grandfather left when I was three years old. He reached the golden elixir stage a long time ago, and he himself did not have a few years left to live, but for my mother, he gave up the opportunity to try to achieve a breakthrough in seclusion.
It has been many years since my grandfather left. In the first few years, there was news from him, but after a few years, there was no news again.
They all said grandpa was dead. I don’t believe it, and neither does my mother. "
Speaking of this, Qin Xinyao drank half a bottle of wine.
“From that moment on, the scumbag showed his true colors.
Only then did I realize that from beginning to end, he was not interested in my mother, but the Qin family behind my mother.
Without the resources provided by the Qin family and the guidance given by my grandfather, how could he possibly have broken through to the late stage of foundation building with his talent over the years?
If he doesn't love my mother, he certainly won't love me either. Without his grandfather's intimidation, he began to live and have fun outside, leaving my mother at home crying every day. Later, he even brought a woman back.
The Qin family has a big business, and the elders have their own plans. While grandpa was away, other people began to bully my mother and me. Di Bin didn't care and just hung out with that woman all day long.
Relying on Di Bin's support, that bitch often deliberately made my mother angry and secretly made things difficult for me. I was young and low-cultivated at the time, unable to protect my mother. Later, she forced us to move out of our original residence.
But even so, she still refused to let us go. "
Qin Xinyao's hand holding the wine glass suddenly tightened her grip. The glass made an overwhelming creaking sound and its surface was covered with cracks.
A plain white hand appeared in her field of vision, gently covering the back of her hand.
The wine glass returned to its original state in an instant.
Qin Xinyao raised her head and looked into a pair of ancient and calm eyes.
Those eyes were like mirrors, in which she saw what she looked like at the moment - anger, sadness, pain, hatred...
All these emotions sank into those eyes as dark and silent as the long night.
Her expression suddenly became much calmer.
Qin Xinyao sniffed and continued with a hint of drunkenness:
"My mother was forced to death by them. In addition to that bitch, there were also Qin Jianming and his son.
The previous generation of family head passed away early, and the position of the family head is still unresolved. The ancestor once said that he would select the head of the family from the younger generation. After that, Qin Jianming regarded me as an obstacle to his son and started to target me everywhere.
The father and son teamed up with that bitch to cause trouble for us all day long. I didn't dare to leave the mansion for fear that my mother would be bullied by them, but seeing me suffer, my mother became even more sad.
She was weak and tortured by this, and finally died of depression. "
After saying that, Qin Xinyao drank all the remaining wine on the table.
Jing Yingrong: "You are drunk."
"It's not so sad when you're drunk." Qin Xinyao said, shaking her head.
She was half lying on the table, tilting her head, raising her eyes, grinning, showing a not-so-good-looking smile, and said to the mirror Yingrong: "Sister, when you come to a Taoist monk in the future, you must keep your eyes open to see clearly. Don't Like my mother, she fell into the hands of the scum."
"Um."
"Sister, you are so kind... After my mother passed away, no one has been so kind to me."
"It's about taking advantage of each other."
"Use...hehe, okay, it's use...then I'm happy too..."
"Um."
"If...your Taoist companion bullies you in the future, I will...just help you and beat him up for you."
"good."
"Sister Jing, why are you shaking..."
Qin Xinyao muttered the last sentence and hit her face on the table.
