Chapter 715 - Good Fortune of The Sect
Chapter 715: Good Fortune of The Sect
Within the long flow of the river of time.
Scattered worlds were like tiny sparks that fell out from the burning fire in the middle, you blink and you would miss it.
Powerful organizations within the 900 million World Layers, as well as Lord-class Combatants, would rarely direct their attention to places like these.
——-which was why there was almost no notable resistance here against the [Demon King Order].
It frequently went through these tiny and weak worlds one after another, gathering slaves, Soul Points, World Origins, anything that is needed.
But now, the situation has changed.
An unimaginable occurrence had put a pause on the corrosion of the [Demon King Order] against the Scattered worlds.
The Ender of the Age of Desolation had awoken with the help of God Institute.
Against its unrivalled power, the Spire Keeper Association and the 900 million World Layers alliance were destroyed and crumbled one by one.
Layer by layer, it was destroying the entire 900 million World Layers.
The Ender swept through like an unstoppable storm.
It took the lives of everything on every world that it passed.
And then it reached the Fallen Zones.
There, the [Order] had just completed another evolution, reaching an unprecedentedly high level and obtaining a never-before-seen ability.
That was——— Demon King descent.
Within the 900 million World Layers, nothing was a match against the Ender, and the Fallen Zones were no exception.
It destroyed over half of the Fallen Zones.
Countless demons, demonized people, as well as True Demons had their souls sucked away, becoming its food.
At the very last moment, the Lord of True Demons accomplished a certain feat.
Under the guidance of the [Demon King Order], he used up all of the Fallen Zones’ powers to summon a corpse from within the river of time.
Besides the [Order] and the Lord of True Demons, no one knew where this corpse arrived from.
The Lord of True Demons gathered all remaining True Demons to heal and repair this corpse without rest.
When the Ender was about to destroy the entirety of the Fallen Zones, the [Order] had finally awoken that corpse.
Finally, the Ender of the Desolation Age met its match, falling in a long battle of attrition.
The battle continued on.
The 900 million World Layers were on the verge of destruction.
But thanks to that, the [Demon King Order] no longer had time to pay attention to the Scattered worlds.
The [Order] pulled back its forces from all the Scattered worlds.
And so these worlds welcomed a brief period of peace.
When Gu Qing Shan had just arrived at Drifting Sand world.
Shen Wu world.
Bai Hua sect.
Everything was silent in the night.
Qin Xiao Lou closed his door, pasted talismans all around the walls of his room, arranged several dozen layers of formations before briefly sighing in relief.
He turned around and looked at everyone else in the room.
The white goose, Xiuxiu, Qing Rou, Wan Er, and himself.
All disciples of Bai Hua sect, not including Gu Qing Shan, were here.
The white goose asked: “Xiao Lou, what’s the matter that you had to sneakily summon all of us here at this late time?”
Xiuxiu yawned: “Yeah, I was already half asleep when your communication talisman flew in, you frightened me for a bit”
Qing Rou had a worried expression: “Second brother, your talismans and formations should be enough to block out everything already, so say what you need to”
Xiao Lou looked at everyone with a stern expression: “About that little girl, are none of you worried about her?”
As everyone heard that, they all calmed down.
Wan Er rubbed her eyes, returning to a sluggish state: “So that’s what it was about, and here I thought it might’ve been something bigger”
A few days ago.
A little girl suddenly appeared on the Throne of Ten Thousand Flowers, claiming herself to be Bai Hua Fairy.
Then, she proceeded to teach Qin Xiao Lou, who ran his mouth, a lesson.
When everyone else came due to the commotion, the little girl hesitated a bit before changing her tone and calling herself Bai Hua Fairy’s guest.
Under everyone’s suspicious gaze, she showed several token items that belonged to Bai Hua Fairy.
At the same time, Bai Hua Fairy also sent her disciples a communication talisman.
In the talisman, Bai Hua Fairy said that she would be busy with something outside, telling her disciples to take good care of the little girl.
Because of the tokens as well as their Shifu’s communication talisman, the girl naturally became an esteemed guest of Bai Hua sect.
——-what problem could there be?
Qin Xiao Lou shook his head in disappointment as he saw everyone’s reactions: “Can’t none of you really see anything wrong with the little girl?”
“Xiao Lou, what exactly are you trying to say?” the white goose asked curiously.
Xiuxiu followed up: “Yeah, she had both Shifu’s tokens as well as a message from Shifu herself, we should just treat her like we do with any other guests”
Wan Er, on the other hand, was interested and asked: “What does second brother think is wrong with that little girl then?”
“If you carefully think about it, there’s a lot that is wrong with her” Qin Xiao Lou spoke mysteriously.
Was there something wrong?
Everyone fell into thought.
Wan Er shook her head: “She played happily whenever she was with me, I like her”
“What did you play?” Qin Xiao Lou asked.
“Climbing trees, jumping rope, I accompanied her to the riverside to collect some pretty rocks, feeding spirit beasts within the spirit beast garden… all in all, I didn’t notice anything wrong with her for the last few days” Wan Er replied.
Qing Rou nodded: “Last time when I brought her to go around the marketplace, she played happily for a whole day, even when it got dark she still didn’t want to return——— but that’s just how children are, there’s nothing wrong with that”
Xiuxiu also commented: “During meals, she would also snatch the pork belly from me, but that’s nothing worth noting at all”
Seeing how carefree everyone was, Qin Xiao Lou quickly reminded them: “The plush doll! Didn’t any of you pay attention to it? She always carries a plush doll with her!”
Wan Er replied: “I do notice, the one that looks like Shifu right? What about it?”
Qin Xiao Lou swung his finger forward and spoke: “That’s exactly the key!”
“Think about it carefully, who would carry a plush doll that looks exactly like the master of the sect that they came to as a guest?”
Hearing that, everyone froze.
That’s true… that certainly is strange.
Qin Xiao Lou then continued in a low voice: “I don’t know if you’ve noticed it or not, but wherever she goes, she always carry that doll with her”
“Then what do you think is the problem?” the white goose asked.
“I feel like something must be strange about that plush doll, perhaps it contains some sort of power” Qin Xiao Lou answered.
“How would a doll carry power?” the white goose continued to ask.
“I used a total of 1794 types of measurement and calculation spells, but no matter what I did, I couldn’t gauge the little girl’s power, and even her location was hidden away. I believe that the power interfering with my calculations must have come from that doll” Qin Xiao Lou declared.
The white goose silently nodded.
How unexpected for Qin Xiao Lou to be so sensitive.
The doll was something that Yun Ji gave her before they went their separate ways back in the 900 million World Layers alliance world.
The doll did indeed have the ability to conceal her presence and prevent clairvoyance from those holding ill-will.
The white goose felt a bit emotional.
It seems that not just Gu Qing Shan alone, but Qin Xiao Lou was also maturing, he may be able to handle matters by himself soon.
This is the good fortune of the sect.
While she was thinking that, Qin Xiao Lou continued.
“You might not have noticed another very crucial point, that little girl’s appearance”
Everyone froze again.
“Her appearance? She’s very pretty” Xiuxiu spoke with admiration.
“She certainly is a charming and pure little girl, I really wonder what she would look like as she grew up” Qing Rou praised.
Wan Er also nodded in agreement.
“Wrong! Your observational skills are too lacking” Qin Xiao Lou shook his head.
“What did you notice from her appearance?” the white goose asked.
Qin Xiao Lou pursed his lips before telling them the shocking truth he had noticed.
“I feel like she looks a bit like Shifu”
Everyone was shocked.
They quickly compared the two in their minds.
“Now that you say it… they really are similar” Xiuxiu commented.
Qing Rou fell into thought: “No wonder I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before”
Wan Er was still comparing between them, muttering as she did: “She is innocent and carefree, but her facial features really are similar to Shifu”
The white goose was even more glad.
To be able to reach the truth from those clues, Xiao Lou’s observational skills really are extraordinary.
It’s likely that not even Gu Qing Shan would have been able to do better if he was here.
The white goose cleared its throat and spoke: “Indeed, I also feel that she’s very similar to Shifu——– so, Xiao Lou, have you reached a conclusion?”
Qin Xiao Lou solemnly nodded and spoke with a stern voice: “I’ve found the truth”
The white goose urged him: “Alright, then tell us”
Qin Xiao Lou hesitated: “I’m not sure if I should say it or not”
The white goose smiled: “It’s fine, we’re all family here, just tell us what you think, no one will tell anyone else”
Qin Xiao Lou looked at the white goose, then at Xiuxiu, Qing Rou, and Wan Er respectively.
The girls all nodded.
“Alright, then I’ll say it”
Qin Xiao Lou took a deep breath as his expression turned serious.
“This little girl looks so much like Shifu, and she carries around a plush doll in Shifu’s image, as well as being protected by a powerful force that conceals her presence, so she must actually be——–”
“Be what?” Xiuxiu couldn’t help but ask with bated breath.
Qin Xiao Lou clenched his hands tightly and spoke in a low voice: “She must actually be Shifu’s illegitimate daughter”
The entire room was plunged into a deathly silence.
Xiuxiu covered her mouth.
Qing Rou and Wan Er exchanged glances.
Qing Rou seriously thought about it and shook her head: “That can’t be it, Shifu’s body is still that of a maiden”
“That’s right, what you said before makes a lot of sense, but the little girl is definitely not her daughter” Wan Er agreed.
Qin Xiao Lou was stunned and asked: “How do you know Shifu doesn’t have a Dao companion?”
Wan Er waves her hand dismissively: “This is a matter of us women, don’t ask about it, just know that we can guarantee this”
Qin Xiao Lou opened his eyes wide.
“First brother, you were very supportive just now, so do you think what I said or what they said is true?” he quickly looked at the white goose to ask for help.
The white goose was lowering its head as its entire body shook nonstop.
Endure it,
Endure it,
Endure it,
There’s no way I can possibly endure this!
“Xiao Lou, you moron!!!”
