Mortal Bones

"All right."

After thinking silently for a long time, Ye Chensha nodded slightly and finally agreed to the deal.

Although, with the forces behind him, it is only a matter of time before the Rusty Lion's true identity is investigated.

However, my own behind-the-scenes investigation and Yue Zhu's personal information revealed that the meanings of the two are completely different. The former is likely to arouse Yue Zhu's resentment and alertness, while the latter is equivalent to showing goodwill to Yue Zhu.

"Let's not talk about the forces behind Senior Yuezhu. Just talking about what the Rusty Lion did in the Xuanhuang Tower is enough for me to take the initiative to show my identity and make friends. Even if the elders and masters find out about this in the future, Can’t fault anything.”

Ye Chensha thought in his heart.

"Then Mr. Ye, should you speak first or should I speak first?"

Fairy Lingyue looked at Ye Chensha with her hands wrapped around her face and a smile.

In her opinion, it was only a matter of time before Taiping's identity and background were revealed. Instead of letting Ye Chensha investigate behind his back, it was better to be a favor and show favor to the forces behind Ye Chensha.

"There are many friends and many paths. When Taiping breaks through to the realm of transformation, he will inevitably come into contact with these hidden sects and families in the Shangqing Realm."

While saying this, she thought in her heart.

"Senior Yuezhu, this junior's surname is Xiahou and his given name is Qingyuan. From now on, senior, you can call me junior Qingyuan in private."

Ye Chensha cupped his hand at Xu Taiping.

"Xiahou Qingyuan?"

Hearing the surname Xiahou and thinking of Xiahou Qingyuan's previous methods, Fairy Lingyue's eyelids suddenly twitched, and then she looked at Xiahou Qingyuan in surprise and said:

"Could it be that the Xiahou family you are talking about is the Xiahou family of Yuheng Mountain?"

The Xiahou clan of Yuheng Mountain was built by the descendants of Xiahou Bo, the general who commanded the White Tiger Army for Emperor Xuanhuang. It was famous in the Shangqing world more than 100,000 years ago, but now it has almost disappeared in the Shangqing cultivation world, and there are very few A hidden sect known to monks.

"yes."

Xiahou Qingyuan nodded, and then explained to Fairy Lingyue:

"Because our clan did not want to get involved in the disputes between the various clans in Xuanhuang Heaven, and did not want to see the people of the former Emperor Xuanhuang killing each other, we hid in the Land of Chaos under the guidance of our ancestors sixty or seventy thousand years ago."

"It wasn't until Jiuyuan attacked Xuanhuangtian that he started walking under the Shangqing Realm Sect again."

"But Jiuyuan has become a powerful force in Xuanhuangtian. Even if our clan joins us, we will be unable to reverse it."

"Especially after my clan's rare genius in hundreds of years, Xia Houyi, my half-brother, died in Xuanhuang Tower, our clan completely withdrew from Xuanhuang Tower."

"This time it is precisely because the gate of Yuheng Mountain is about to be closed again, and it will not be opened for at least ten thousand years, so we specifically asked Brother Rusty Lion to rescue my sister Xia Houyou."

After listening to Xiahou Qingyuan's explanation, Fairy Lingyue understood.

"The last time Yuheng Mountain was closed, it was the time when the human race was defeated in the battle between heaven and demons, right? Could it be that your ancestors..."

"Senior Yuezhu, this junior can only say that the matter is very close to what you are guessing at this moment, senior, and I can't say anything else."

Before Fairy Lingyue could finish her words, Xiahou Qingyuan interrupted her.

"I see."

Fairy Lingyue nodded, and then asked:

"What about the sect behind you?"

Xiahou Qingyuan thought for a while, then spoke again:

"My elder brother Xia Houyi, my younger sister Xia Houyou, and I are all disciples of the Three Emperors Dao Palace."

Hearing the words "Three Emperors Dao Palace", Fairy Lingyue suddenly had a look of surprise in her originally calm eyes.

Because this Three Emperors Dao Palace is one of the three palaces of the Shangqing Dynasty that is as famous as her Huangting Dao Palace.

It is also the orthodox inheritance of the ancient heaven.

"Brother Cangzhu is really quite capable. He can even trick the disciples of the Three Emperors Dao Palace into him."

Fairy Lingyue suddenly grinned.

She was surprised, but Chu Lingyue was not too concerned about a mere disciple of the Three Emperors Dao Palace.

"Senior Yuezhu, can you tell me now the true identity of Brother Rusty Lion?"

Xiahou Qingyuan asked Fairy Lingyue somewhat eagerly.

Hearing this, Fairy Lingyue cleared her throat and said with a smile:

"My disciple's status, whether it's his origin or the sect he belongs to, is no better than yours, Qingyuan. Don't make fun of me after hearing this."

"Senior Yuezhu, I, Xiahou Qingyuan, am not one of those people who value family background."

Xiahou Qingyuan's eyes were a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Fairy Lingyue stopped showing off, immediately put down her hands, turned to look out the window and said:

"I, this disciple, was born in a small village called Qingniu Village in the world of Zhenwutian. My parents died young. I have been living with my elderly grandfather since I was one or two years old. After my grandfather left, I was almost used by my second uncle for thirty taels. Sold."

"Fortunately, I was guided by Zhenwu Tianyun Lushan Qingxuan Sect, and then I embarked on the path of cultivation."

"Qingniu Village?" Xiahou Qingyuan frowned when he heard the first half of the sentence. He thought Fairy Lingyue was teasing him. It was not until he heard the words "Yunlu Mountain Qingxuan Sect" in the second half that he suddenly Turning to look at Fairy Lingyue, she asked with excitement in her eyes: "Senior Yuezhu, your disciple is the leader of Jinlin this time, Xu Taiping of Qingxuan Sect of Yunlu Mountain?!"

"Exactly." Fairy Lingyue smiled and nodded.

"It turns out to be the leader of the Golden Scales. That makes sense. It makes sense!"

Xiahou Qingyuan was pacing the streets with some excitement.

Although he had never participated in the Golden Scale Meeting due to the rules of the Xiahou family and the Three Emperors Dao Palace, and was unable to attend the match this time, the Golden Scale Meeting was such a grand event that even the disciples of the hidden aristocratic families and sects like him were extremely concerned.

And the champion of each Golden Scale Meeting was the object of competition among these hidden sects.
