I knew it.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but said in his heart. First update@
Xuansheng didn't like aristocratic families. He hoped that the Taoist sect would allow people of different origins to have an upward path, instead of being dominated by a few families.
But contrary to expectations, as it has developed to this day, the top level of the Dao Sect is indeed controlled by several aristocratic families.
The most obvious example is that the three deputy head masters had different surnames except for Xuansheng when he was alive. For example, Yan Feiqing served as the great master of Zhengyi Dao, Shangguan Wan served as the great master of Quanzhen Dao, and Qin Su served as the great master of Taiping Dao. After Xuan Sheng, the Heavenly Master was always named Zhang, the Earth Master was always named Yao, and the Imperial Master was always named Li, with basically no exceptions.
Long before Xuansheng revitalized the Taoist sect, the earth masters had been passed down for many generations. However, after the Taoist sect was resurrected, the count was recalculated and Shangguan Wan was the first generation of earth masters by default.
The second generation of earth masters are the ancestors of the Yao family, and the third generation of earth masters are still from the Yao family.
Since the Qingping Association was rebuilt by the third generation of earth masters, it is reasonable for Qiniang, as a member of the Yao family, to know many secrets and to be able to thrive in the Qingping Association.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh: "It's dark, it's too dark. If you do this, how can we ordinary people without illustrious ancestors get ahead?"
Qiniang smiled and said: "Of course I am an adopted son and adopted daughter. I have already thought about it. How about you change your name to Yao Xuansu? Qingnu's surname is not Li, and my surname is not Yao. We are adopted daughters."
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "I would rather be the Zhang family's son-in-law."
Qiniang hummed softly: "Go ahead, I will call you Zhang Qishi from now on."
Qi Xuansu pointed to the figures of the ancestors in the hall and couldn't help but ask: "What about these?"
Qiniang said matter-of-factly: "Of course I want to find some legitimacy for myself to prove that the existence of Qingping Society is reasonable and different from Lingshan Witch Cult, Zhiming Cult, and Ziguang Society. These are the evidence."
Qi Xuansu asked again: "The current leader?"
"It's not the Earth Master." Qiniang said, "Although it was the third generation of Earth Masters who reestablished the Qingping Association, the Yao family has not been in power for a long time, and the upper echelons of the Qingping Association today are all people with foreign surnames. Take the six members of the Privy Council. Said, except for me, the other five people are not named Yao."
Qi Xuansu hit the nail on the head and said: "It is not necessary to join the Qingping Association to be in power. If the Earth Master speaks in person, will Qingping dare to disobey?"
Qiniang did not answer, but instead said: "The reason why I tell you this is to let you understand one thing. It is impossible for the Qingping Society to be alone, and it will inevitably be involved in the struggle of the three great traditions. The one who can really stay out of the matter is the Lingshan Witch. Sect, Zhiming Sect, so most of them will not get involved, but will sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers."
Qi Xuansu asked: "Where is Ziguang Society? Are they enemies or friends?"
"I don't know." Qiniang's answer was only three words.
Qi Xuansu only felt that the current situation was becoming more and more confusing.
Taiping Dao and Quanzhen Dao have already decided their fate, as well as Ziguang Society, Qingping Society, Men in Black, Qingluan Guards, and Xuanhui Academy. Quanzhen Dao and Qingping Society alone want to counter the alliance between Taiping Dao and the imperial court. If you are unable to do so, then it will be a matter of time before Zhengyi enters the arena.
As a disciple of Quanzhen Taoism and a member of the Qingping Society, Qi Xuansu had to become an insider whether he wanted to or not.
What's more, everyone else has a way out, but Qi Xuansu has no way out.
Li Qingnu is from the Li family, "Tian Xian Zi" is from the clan, "Zui Chui Bian" is from a man in black, and "Xi Hong Yi" has some relationship with Ziguang Society. It's really getting to the point where things can't be done. The worst they can do is return to their original identities and escape separately. It doesn't matter which identity Qi Xuansu takes, he can only sink with the ship. Even if he barely manages to save his life, his future is definitely gone and he can only continue to follow Qiniang around the world and become a wanderer.
From this point of view, Qi Xuansu is the direct descendant of the direct lineage of the Earth Master. No wonder the Earth Master protected him and Zhang Yuelu during the aftermath of the second major Jiangnan case. He was trying to win over Zhang Yuelu, but he was protecting Qi Xuansu.
When Qi Xuansu thought of this, his heart suddenly moved.
There is a saying in Confucianism: The country has raised scholars for a hundred and fifty years, and sacrifices for integrity and righteousness are today!
Qi Xuansu is here now. Quanzhen Taoism has supported you for more than half a year, and you will die loyally, today.
Qi Xuansu looked at Qiniang subconsciously.
He hoped that the so-called "nurturing scholars" would only be limited to Quanzhen Taoism, not the Yao family.

Chapter 42 Mother and Son
He hoped that Qiniang had nothing to do with these.
He hoped that there would be no other conflicts of interest between him and Qiniang, just pure kindness.
He doesn't mind being a chess piece, it's not like he's never done it before, but he doesn't want to be Qiniang's chess piece. He hopes that he and Qiniang have another kind of relationship. He doesn't want to be rootless in the end. He doesn't want to be a chess piece. Everything in the past was a mirror image.
Qiniang felt Qi Xuansu's gaze and looked at Qi Xuansu: "Why are you staring at me blankly?"
"Nothing." Qi Xuansu trembled slightly.
His emotions told him that Qiniang was not such a person.
His reason told him that it was difficult to find any other explanation.
Qiniang suddenly said: "Qingnu, please go first, I have something to say to Tianyuan."
Li Qingnu looked at the two of them and smelled something strange. He responded and left the "Dream Meeting" directly.
Only Qiniang and Qi Xuansu were left here.
No one spoke.
Qi Xuansu was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind and asked slowly: "Qiniang, why did you save me in the first place?"
"You just saved me, why did you give me the extremely precious 'Heart of the Immortal Stone'?"
"I don't have the blood of Yao Pei's ancestors, nor am I a descendant of the Ancient Immortal. My bloodline is not noble at all. I'm just an orphan who doesn't know who my parents are. I'm not a peerless genius. I'm far behind Xuansheng Donghuang. Not to mention banishing immortals, I can't even be a Qi Refiner, I can only be a layman. Let alone the entire Taoist sect, even in the lower palace of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, I can't be ranked. I'm not super smart either. Once when I faced an assassin in an inn, I was like a lost dog. I was confused and could only run away in a hurry. But before I could escape, I was stabbed in the chest by someone. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago, let alone anything else. Revenge and get ahead. _o_m ”
"Even if I'm lucky enough to survive, I still can't get ahead. Without you, I couldn't go to Tiangang Hall, and I wouldn't know Zhang Yuelu. Without you, Pei Xiaolou, Lei Xiaohuan, Donghua Zhenren, Yao Pei, and the three great ghosts, They won't look up to me, and I won't even have the slightest interaction with them. To me, they are people in the sky. Without you, even if I get the Xuanyu, I won't be able to use it. So now I am still just a nobody in the Kunlun stage, and Gao Shide's entourage can defeat me without the intervention of Master Gao. Ke Qingqing, who is now being called around by me, is also a fairy that I cannot reach."
"Such a me, a little person who dies as soon as he dies, is like a weed that can be seen everywhere. One crop is burned, and another one is cropped in the next spring. I am truly as humble as grass. Why did I get into your life?" Where are your eyes? What is the reason why you put so much effort into cultivating them? "
"Over the years, you have taught me, promoted me, promoted me, and treated me as your own son. Your own son is no more than that. Li Qingnu, a 'celestial fairy,' a drunken whip, etc., are all inferior to me. What kind of meritorious service and peace money are simply insignificant things to you and me."
"I know, I shouldn't ask these questions. It is said that a soldier dies for his confidant. It is a gift of saving his life and a gift of rebuilding. Even if you ask me to die immediately, I shouldn't frown. I want to force more. , what kind of affection, what kind of mother and son, what kind of relatives, it seems greedy. But I just can’t figure it out, why? "
Even during the "dream meeting", Qiniang was still wearing a pair of large sunglasses, covering half of her face.
After listening to Qi Xuansu's words, Qiniang was silent for a moment, then reached out and took off the sunglasses on her face.
Qi Xuansu had seen Qiniang's true appearance before, but not much, so when he saw her, she was a little strange.
Qiniang didn't have her usual playful smile and looked very serious.
This made Qi Xuansu feel even more strange.
He regretted a little. He shouldn't have said these things. They all said they were confused. Why bother to get to the bottom of it? Is it so heartless? Qiniang has given so much, so why should she ask for any extravagant family affection? Even if Qiniang wanted him to die, so what? You are willing to die for Zhang Yuelu, but aren't you willing to die for Qiniang?
But Qi Xuansu just couldn't convince himself.
If he's never experienced this emotion, so be it. But after he experienced it, he was unwilling to go back. Even if it's just for show. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 42 Mother and Son
, he was also immersed in it, truly into the drama.
It's like a pair of male and female spies pretending to be a couple in order to infiltrate the enemy. After pretending for a long time, it becomes real.
Qiniang kept saying "for mother" at first, but he didn't take it seriously, and he abided by his duty, but as time went by, he couldn't help but take it seriously.
The more people lack something, the more they care about it.
Qi Xuansu was short of money, so he cared about peace money all day long. He also lacked status, so he was not someone who was indifferent to fame and wealth.
But what he lacks most is family and affection.
Be it peaceful money or status, you can get it the day after tomorrow.
It’s just that you can’t ask for something like family. Update without error@
Even if Qi Xuansu becomes the head master, it is impossible to create a father and mother out of thin air.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu's feelings towards his master and Qiniang are extremely complicated.
Once he catches it, he is unwilling to let it go.
Qi Xuansu took a deep breath and looked at Qiniang again.
"Yes, I have a son." Qiniang said solemnly.
Qi Xuansu was stunned and couldn't react for a while.
Qiniang continued: "I am also a very old man. Isn't it strange to have a son?"
Qi Xuansu nodded.
He didn't think that he was Qiniang's son. If that was the case, then Qiniang would just recognize him directly and there would be no need to hide him.
Qiniang said: "He is dead and I miss him very much."
Qi Xuansu blinked: "Qiniang... you think I am like your son? I can't be so bloody, right?"
"Nothing like him at all. My son is talented, handsome, magnanimous, and elegant. He is a first-class person in the world. Li Changge is not worthy of carrying his shoes. How can he be like you?" Qiniang said mercilessly. .
Qi Xuansu said nothing, but felt a little disappointed and sad.
Qiniang paused for a moment and then added: "However, when you were about to die, the way you looked at me was very similar to his. It was wet, just like when he was about to die."
Qi Xuansu didn't know for a moment whether what Qiniang said was true or false, and felt mixed emotions in his heart. .
