Killing God - Chapter 332

Chapter 332 Change One
This morning, after Zhong Qingzhu woke up, she was still sitting alone in the small building with a calm expression. She leaned against the window and looked into the distance. All the flowers, plants, sky, and white clouds in the garden were reflected in her bright eyes, transforming into quiet scenery that faintly swayed and flowed.

After sitting for a long time, she suddenly stood up and walked down the stairs. She found her mother, Mrs. Liu, in the room and said that she was ready to leave for Jinhong Mountain.

Mrs. Liu was a little shocked, because Zhong Qingzhu had not mentioned returning to the mountain in the past few days. Settling down just like this was a rare reunion day for the mother and daughter in these past few years. Mrs. Liu felt a little reluctant, but compared to when Zhong Qingzhu came back to visit her in the past, she only stayed for an hour and a half before hurrying back to the mountain. After spending so many days with her this time, Mrs. Liu was actually very satisfied.

Moreover, in her heart, she had always believed that her daughter’s cultivation in Jinhong Mountain was the most important thing. Therefore, although she was reluctant to part with her daughter, she still hurriedly packed her bags for her daughter.

Zhong Qingzhu was already at the Origin Condensation Realm, but now that he was a disciple of the Formation Hall’s Elder Le Jingshan, there was no need for the Liu Clan to be busy. It was just a token of gratitude from her mother. Even though most of the things she had brought over were common things that she didn’t need at all, such as food and clothing, Zhong Qingzhu still revealed a faint smile and accepted them one by one.

However, when everything was tidied up and she was about to leave, Zhong Qingzhu suddenly grabbed Mrs. Liu and softened her voice, but her expression was very serious. She said, “Mother, why don’t we move out and live?”

Mrs. Liu was shocked and said, “What?”

Zhong Qingzhu said, “I don’t like living with the Zhong Clan very much, and don’t you forget how the people from the Zhong Clan used to order you around. Let’s move out, and I’ll buy you another house in the city. You can stay there, or add a few more servants. I’ll come back to see you from time to time. Isn’t this a lot more than I used to be?”

Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, “Silly girl, do you know how expensive that house in the city is now? I heard that no ordinary cultivator can afford any small house.”

Zhong Qingzhu smiled and said with a faint expression, “Mother, you don’t need to worry about the Spirit Crystal. I naturally have a way.”

Mrs. Liu remained silent for a moment, but she still had a determined expression on her face as she said, “I’m not leaving.”

Zhong Qingzhu’s eyes were filled with confusion as he whispered, “Mother, why are you doing this?”

Mrs. Liu sighed and said, “Qingzhu, I roughly know why you want to move away in your heart. However, we can’t forget our roots as humans. Back then, we both went to the Zhong Clan alone. In the end, it was the Zhong Clan’s Old Master who showed great kindness and took us in …”

At this point, Mrs. Liu saw that Zhong Qingzhu had a tired expression on her face. He sighed in his heart, but he still insisted, “Yes, I know that you have always felt that the Zhong Clan has treated us badly. In fact, the first few years of our life in the Zhong Clan were not easy. We were ordered to drink from head to toe, doing horses and cattle dirty work. All these women know that.” But … in the end, if the Zhong Clan hadn’t taken us in back then, it’s hard to say whether the mother and daughter would have survived until now. ”

“Give a mouthful of food to eat, although or leftovers; Living in a room, even if it was dilapidated and leaky, it would still be able to eat and live peacefully. It would no longer be displaced and there would be no need to panic all day long. “Mother doesn’t have much knowledge or ability, but I think we owe this to the Zhong family’s master. Furthermore, the Zhong family has treated us much better since you made your fortune. In the end, she even gave us this small garden. Mother is really satisfied.”

“That’s why I’m not leaving.”

Mrs. Liu said to her daughter in the end.

Zhong Qingzhu stood silently in front of her mother for a long time, then gently hugged her mother and left without saying a word.

After walking out of the Zhong Clan’s mansion, Zhong Qingzhu felt somewhat confused. It was as if the mood after many days was still difficult to calm down, and his thoughts were constantly fluctuating in the midst of that torment and loss.

Originally, she wanted to go back to the mountain, but she didn’t know if she was upset by what her mother said when she left. She couldn’t lift her spirits and just strolled around the bustling Floating Cloud City like this.

Walking along one street after another, she seemed to be aimlessly and unknowingly. However, when she saw the shops on both sides of the street, she would occasionally recall the past Shen Shi had mentioned to her. After traveling and hunting in the wilderness, he would often wander around these shops. Was it because he had grown up in such a place?

What was he thinking in his heart?

A street quietly passed under her feet. From noisy to calm, she gradually left the crowd and walked through the unfamiliar streets. In the next moment, she suddenly stopped. She seemed to be in a trance. After pondering for a moment, she turned around and looked at the street that she had just passed.

It was a secluded and quiet long street.

It seemed familiar.

Golden Rainbow Mountain, Sea Observation Terrace, Armament Hall’s back garden.

The stiff and cold atmosphere lasted for a long time, and no one spoke. The surrounding air seemed to be about to solidify, causing people to involuntarily feel nervous.

However, compared to the others, Old Man Pu obviously didn’t care about this. He even directly sat down on the black-striped tortoise shell the size of a small table and leisurely drank another two mouthfuls of wine. Beneath him, the black-striped turtle seemed to have been frightened by the invisible atmosphere. It didn’t dare to poke its head out for a long time and kept hiding in its hard shell.

After a while, Elder Sun Ming Yang’s face was as cold as frost. He coldly looked at Old Man Pu and said, “Old Pu, what do you mean?”

Old Man Pu drank a mouthful of fine wine and wiped his mouth casually. He sighed as if he was amazed by the delicious wine. Then, he smiled and said to Sun Ming Yang, “Old Sun, I don’t think you don’t understand, do you?” “Forget it, I’m an honest person anyway. Let’s be clear. You can take in any disciple you want, but I can’t watch this exam. It’s too easy.”

Sun Ming Yang raised his eyebrows and revealed a faint expression of anger. On the other hand, Sun Heng, who was standing at the side, was slightly pale. He looked at Old Man Pu in shock and doubt. He really didn’t expect that he had offended such a great Origin Core Realm Daoist and would actually come here to make things difficult for him.

The atmosphere became tense again. The two Origin Core Realm Daoists were confronting each other. The invisible might made one feel suffocated. However, at this moment, someone suddenly coughed twice, breaking the tense silence and easing the atmosphere a little.

The third Origin Core Realm Daoist, Elder Jin Zhan of the Spirit Beast Palace, was the one who could speak at this moment. He approached Old Man Pu. He waved his whisk and smiled bitterly. He whispered, “Old Pu, what are you doing? You’re fellow disciples. Everyone usually looks up and doesn’t look down.”

Old Man Pu rolled his eyes. He sat on the tortoise shell and was too lazy to get up. His tone carried a hint of mockery. He said, “Yeah, you also said that you didn’t look down to see me. When I was about to take in a disciple a few days ago, Old Jin, don’t tell me you didn’t know about that?”

Elder Jin Zhan was immediately speechless. He was also one of the five great elders. His status was usually aloof and he was also a person with profound morality and influence in Lingxiao Sect. Although the incident a few days ago was a small matter, it involved a few elders. Even if it carried a hint of anger and fighting spirit, he had heard of it afterwards.

At this time, he was also a little tired of it, I thought to myself, no matter what, these two of you are both Grand Daoists of the Origin Core Realm. Why did he … shake his head for such a trivial matter? He was too lazy to think any further. He turned around and looked at Elder Sun Ming Yang. However, Elder Sun’s expression was cold at this moment. He saw that Elder Pu did not have the slightest intention to back down. Jin Zhan and Sun Ming Yang were old friends for many years. He sighed in his heart and could only turn back to Old Man Pu and say,

‘”Alright, alright, alright. Can we forget about that? Just treat it as if it was for my sake? Old Pu, we are already so old. It would be shameful for us to embarrass these youngsters for such a trivial matter.”

Old Man Pu sneered, “According to what you said, he should have embarrassed my disciple. If I embarrassed his grandson, he would lose face.”

Elder Jin Zhan glared at him and said, “Old Man Pu, stop messing around.” As he spoke, his voice lowered a little. “This matter doesn’t matter to old men like us, but it’s a matter of life and death to young people. Old Sun has always valued this grandson. Why would he cause trouble? If the matter really gets big, even the head teacher brother would have to be unsightly.”

Old Man Pu frowned, as if he had some misgivings about the Sect Leader being pulled out for the first time.

When Elder Jin Zhan saw that there was a door, he hurriedly said, “How about this, ask your disciple to come and find me later. I’ll be a peacemaker and give him some benefits. If the two of them cancel each other out, then we can forget about being friendly. After all, we’re all from the same sect. Why are we making such an ugly scene? Are you right?”

Old Man Pu snorted and his eyes flickered, but he said, “You sound good. What if other people don’t care about you?”

Elder Jin Zhan turned around and saw that Sun Ming Yang had also snorted. However, his expression became a little gentler as he coldly said, “Brother Jin and I have been good friends for many years. What he said is what I meant.”

Elder Jin Zhan smiled and turned to look at Old Man Pu. He smiled and said, “Alright? Alright, Old Pu, stop messing around.”

Old Man Pu curled his lips and said, “Forget it, I think you should give Old Jin some face.”

As soon as he said that, the atmosphere relaxed. Sun Heng did not say anything, but even Sun Ming Yang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. From the beginning, he was most afraid that Old Man Pu, who had always been mad, would suddenly go crazy. He had to stare at his grandson. If some demonic moth came up with the idea of letting Sun Heng go to the bottom of the Coral Sea as well, that would be bad.

Let Sun Heng go. Sun Ming Yang really didn’t have confidence that his grandson would be able to pass this trial, but he didn’t let Sun Heng go. He also appeared that his grandson wasn’t as good as Old Man Pu’s disciple. He was even a little afraid of Old Man Pu’s intentions. This was the dilemma.

However, at this point in time, he was relieved. Just as he was about to call on Sun Heng to quickly kill the black-striped turtle, he suddenly heard Old Man Pu’s voice from behind him and said faintly,

“Hey, Old Jin, since this old man has already come here, I have to change the meaning a little. Besides, the Black-striped Turtle is the weakest among First Grade demonic beasts. It’s too unpleasant to hear. Let’s switch to another one.”
