Killing God - Chapter 361

Chapter 361 Confess
Zhong Qingzhu walked into the room and sat down beside Ling Chunni. He first glanced at her and then said, “When did you come back?”

“I just arrived,” Ling Chunni said.

Zhong Qingzhu frowned slightly and said with a trace of puzzlement, “Didn’t you just go for a day? Tianhong City is so big, why did you come back in such a hurry?”

Ling Chunni wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, he smiled bitterly and said, “Something has happened. In addition, there is something going on with the Stone Master Sect. So, after the two of us discussed it, we should return first.”

Zhong Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and said, “Yes, the selection of the elite disciples of the Four Main Organizations of the Hundred Mountains Realm is indeed only a few days away. Calculating the date, it is indeed a bit tight.”

Ling Chunni looked at Zhong Qingzhu worriedly. Although her complexion was much better than before, she was still slightly pale. She couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Qingzhu, are you going too? Is there no problem with your body?”

Zhong Qingzhu’s expression was calm as he said, “It is customary for disciples like me and Shen Shi to go over in order to avoid slacking off. Furthermore, if everyone gathered together, it would be more or less beneficial. Otherwise, if they were to be outdone by other ordinary disciples, not only would they lose face, but even their master’s face would also be disgraceful. It would be very important.” After a pause, she said, “It’s about the next two days. It’s time for me to go back to the mountain.”

“That’s why.” Ling Chunni nodded. At this time, she had already removed the cork from the jar of bamboo green wine. She casually took out two cups and poured them full and handed them to Zhong Qingzhu.

A clear and mellow wine fragrance immediately spread out and floated in this room. Even Zhong Qingzhu, who had rarely drunk alcohol, felt that it was somewhat sweet when he smelled it. He couldn’t help but be stunned and ask, “This wine seems to be extremely good. Is it the Bamboo Leaf Green that you just mentioned?”

Ling Chunni smiled and said, “Yes. By the way, when I said this name just now, it seemed that you were a little surprised. Have you heard of it before?”

Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and said, “I’ve never heard of this before. It’s just that there are two words in the name of this wine that match my name. I’m just a little surprised for a moment.”

Ling Chunni suddenly laughed and waved his hand, “Aiya, this is not a good thing.”

Zhong Qingzhu felt a little strange and said, “What’s wrong?”

Ling Chunni recounted the experience of buying this Bamboo Leaf Green Wine with Shen Shi in Tianhong City yesterday. Finally, when he said the name of the wine, he said that the Bamboo Leaf Green actually originated from a poisonous Green Snake. Finally, he shook his head and smiled, “You see, this wine is said to be brewed from the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake. When you said it matched his name, didn’t you say that he was similar to the Green Snake?”

Zhong Qingzhu thought carefully and smiled. He shook his head and looked up to see Ling Chunni carefully taking a sip of the wine glass. A moment later, he saw her eyes narrowed. Then, his eyes lit up and he clicked his tongue twice. “Eh, this wine is really delicious.”

Zhong Qingzhu lowered his eyes and saw that in the cup in front of him, the color of the wine was as green as emerald bamboo. The color was clear, and the wine fragrance assaulted his nose, as if it could reflect her silent face. She stared for a moment, then suddenly raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Ling Chunni was shocked and said, “Ah … why are you drinking so quickly?”

Zhong Qingzhu put down the cup and closed his eyes. The wine entered his throat and went straight down his chest. It was like a scorching flame burning in his body, but it dissipated the originally cold taste. Only the fiery heat and fierceness remained.

So the same wine, different people drink it, even the taste is different?

Zhong Qingzhu closed his eyes and his face was slightly pale. At the corner of his mouth, a faint and bitter smile appeared on his face. Then, he heard her softly say,

“Good wine …”

Shen Shi left the Xu Clan’s mansion in Floating Cloud City and headed straight for the shore of the sea. It was almost noon when he took the Sea Crossing Immortal Ark back to Golden Rainbow Mountain.

Walking on a majestic mountain peak, Whether it’s the mountain path or the flat open Guanhai platform, There were quite a few disciples coming and going from Lingxiao Sect. However, Shen Shi could clearly feel that the atmosphere among the crowd had begun to become somewhat solemn and tense. Obviously, the upcoming trip to the Hundred Mountains Realm was a major event that could change the fate and future of most disciples. Everyone attached great importance to it.

When he went up the mountain, Shen Shi did not meet any acquaintances. After pondering for a moment, he decided to go to the Five Elements Hall first. No matter what, respecting teachers and respecting the Dao was still the first place.

The hall had always been deserted. There were also many people inside and outside the Five Elements Hall. The scene today did not seem to be any different from usual. Shen Shi walked all the way to the Five Elements Hall and looked around. He discovered that there weren’t many people. It seemed that even Senior Sister Xu Yanzhi wasn’t here today.

After thinking for a while, he walked into the back hall of the Five Elements Temple. After a few corners of the corridor, he found Old Man Pu lying lazily on a reclining chair under a tree in the garden of the back hall.

“Master.” Shen Shi revealed a smile and shouted. He quickly walked over.

Old Man Pu opened one of his eyes and looked at him. “Oh, it’s you” he said lazily. Suddenly, he was quick-witted, but his body trembled. He suddenly sat up, his eyes shining brightly, and he said in a deep voice, “What is this smell?”

Shen Shi was shocked. He took a closer look at the jar of bamboo green wine that he had just taken out of Ruyi Bag and said in astonishment, “No, this is a good one. I didn’t see any air leakage cracks or anything.”

Old Man Pu glanced at the wine jar in his hand. His spirits trembled and he smiled. He waved his hand and said, “Good disciple, good disciple, hurry up and come over. I actually remembered that I could bring some wine back for my master when I went down the mountain. I didn’t accept you as my disciple in vain.”

Shen Shi walked over. At the same time, he sniffed hard. However, without opening the wine jar, he still didn’t smell any wine. He thought to himself, “Why is Master’s nose so powerful? Even when Little Hei was following him, he didn’t see it react to the wine fragrance.” Thinking of this, he turned around and saw the little pig lying lazily on the grass beside him. Its belly facing the sky was enjoying the sun. Perhaps the pig wasn’t interested in wine?

As he approached, Old Man Pu took the jar of wine and directly opened it. He did not pour the cup into his mouth like that. He only heard the sound of gulping and swallowing for a while before stopping. Then, Old Man Pu let out a long satisfied sigh and said, “Good wine, good wine, this Bamboo Leaf Green Wine is indeed the best wine in the wine.”

Shen Shi was stunned and said in surprise, “Eh, Master, you are so powerful. You actually knew that this is Bamboo Leaf Green Wine with a single drink?”

Old Man Pu waved his hand and said with a smile, “Nonsense, your master and I have never drunk any good wine. That brat Du Tiejian is also good at what he drinks. Sometimes, when he asks me for something, he would often bring some wine over. Among them, this Bamboo Leaf Green Wine was one of the two times.”

Shen Shi finally came to his senses. He smiled and said, “I see. I was originally afraid that this wine might not suit Master’s taste, so I didn’t dare to buy more. I wanted to give you a taste first. Since you like this wine, the next time I pass by Tianhong City, I will bring some back for you to drink comfortably.”

Old Man Pu laughed heartily. He felt relieved and patted Shen Shi’s shoulder forcefully. He smiled and said, “Oh, oh, not bad, not bad, not bad. The young man has eyes, much better than your Senior Sister, who doesn’t have an aperture in her head.”

Shen Shi was speechless for a moment. He smiled and said, “Master, it’s not good for you to say that to Senior Sister.”

Old Man Pu snorted and rolled his eyes. “Who said that? You have to know how much effort I’ve put into teaching my disciples. The so-called’one day as a master for the rest of my life, one child as a disciple but with a conscience, filial piety is only natural. But look, that senior sister of yours is like a flower addict all day long …”

“Cough cough cough …” Shen Shi hurriedly coughed a few times and interrupted Old Man Pu’s increasingly disrespectful words. He smiled and said, “Master, forget about this.”

Old Man Pu snorted twice. It seemed that he was still unhappy about Xu Yanzhi’s usual unwillingness to buy him wine and drinks. Shen Shi stood there hesitating for a moment, then looked at Old Man Pu’s expression. After a moment of hesitation, he said seriously, “Master, I have something I want to tell you.”

Old Man Pu glanced at him and said, “What is it?”

Shen Shi’s expression was still somewhat hesitant, but after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, “Well, this disciple went to Tianhong City and wanted to see the scenery on the Great Wall after buying wine, but there was a conflict on the way.”

“Huh?” Old Man Pu nodded and continued to drink with a nonchalant expression. At the same time, he said vaguely, “Oh, did you fight?”

“Uh … sort of.” Shen Shi thought for a moment and said honestly. Although he always felt that the word’fight ‘sounded like a child messing around.

Old Man Pu wiped his lips, and his expression was still indifferent. He said, “How many opponents did you lose?”

This time, Shen Shi thought about it carefully and said, “Four, but I won.”

Old Man Pu clapped Shen Shi on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Well done, I didn’t lose face for Master.”

However, after a pause, Old Man Pu suddenly said with a serious expression, “Brat, don’t tell me those fellows are ordinary mortals or trash characters who aren’t at the Qi Refining Realm. It’s really useless even if you win.”

Shen Shi smiled bitterly. After hesitating for a moment, he told Old Man Pu about the conflict with Song Pi and the others on the Great Wall that night. At the same time, he paid attention to Master’s expression. At first, Old Man Pu didn’t listen to anything, especially when he heard that Song Pi, Song Wen, Song Wu, and the others’ cultivation realms were at the Origin Condensation Realm.

Only in the end, when Shen Shi mentioned that these four people were probably from the Origin Sect, and that Song Pi might even be a direct descendant of one of the former Six Saints, Song Wende’s Song Clan, Old Man Pu’s expression changed for the first time, and he looked slightly dignified.

“People from the Song Clan?”

Old Man Pu scratched his white-haired head and glanced at Shen Shi. Suddenly, he said, “What is the cause of this? It seems to me that you don’t seem to be someone who will take the initiative to cause trouble.”

Shen Shi struggled for a moment in his heart. In the end, he decided to confess to his Master and told him all the reasons and consequences. He didn’t hide anything, including Ling Chunni.

After hearing this, Old Man Pu said, He was stunned for a moment. Staring at Shen Shi, His expression was somewhat serious. Shen Shi felt a little uneasy in his heart. If possible, he really didn’t want to tell Master about Ling Chunni. However, the matter with the Origin Sect wasn’t particularly clean. Although he didn’t regret taking action, the other party’s family background was extraordinary. Furthermore, the Four Great Conferences were about to begin, so he decided to confess this matter to Master after thinking about it.

After a long moment of silence, Shen Shi felt even more nervous when he saw that Master was still staring at him. He lowered his head and whispered, “Master, did I really make a mistake? Did I cause you any trouble?”

Old Man Pu suddenly spat, Instead, he slapped the back of Shen Shi’s head. A smile appeared on his face again. “Brat, I can’t tell that you’re younger than your Senior Sister. You’re even more powerful than your Senior Sister.” Old Man Pu didn’t seem to know what to say about Shen Shi. He just shook his head, but he didn’t seem to be angry at all.

Shen Shi felt a little relieved. He glanced at his master and probed, “Master, what happened to those people from the Origin Sect …”

Old Man Pu snorted, rolled his eyes, and sneered,

“So what if the Song Clan of the Origin Sect is amazing?”
