Chapter 492 Everything is known
"Master, I have suffered a tremendous injustice!"
Jiang He swayed, glanced sideways, and suddenly fell towards the grass next to Bei Mingzi.
Bei Mingzi had been teaching Jiang He for more than half a year. He only knew that his disciple had good talent, worked hard to learn medicine, and was willing to farm and refine pills. He was a rare talent, but he had never really looked into her in depth.
Bei Mingzi's sleepy eyes swept over Jiang He, and he suddenly changed his position, completely blocking the area behind him.
Bei Mingzi was probably surprised that Jiang He was still alive. He was also wondering how Jiang He had escaped from a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage. But before Bei Mingzi could speak, Jiang He slid down to her knees and fell in front of him.
Startled, Bei Mingzi glanced back a few times.
“Disciple, the Fifth Army, right? I have stopped supplying you with pills from now on. I will definitely seek justice for you.”
Even though they hadn't seen each other for only a year, it was as if they had just met.
Jiang He looked at Bei Mingzi suspiciously. The spot where she fell was soft and did not generate much impact.
Jiang He had deliberately chosen this spot to kneel down, hoping that as long as she was shameless enough to cry foul first, Bei Mingzi would not bring up the matter of her faking her death again.
Jiang He really hadn't figured out a reason to explain, and thought that Bei Mingzi wouldn't come back for at least five or ten years after going out to gain experience.
When Bei Mingzi returns, her business will be finished, so there will be no need to make up any excuses.
But now...
She had barely "died" when Kita Akiko returned.
Ying Fengyi could not recognize her doppelganger, but he recognized her soul.
Bei Mingzi is at the Mahayana stage, and this Rejuvenating Pill was given to her by Bei Mingzi, so it would be strange if she didn't recognize him.
Therefore, Jiang He immediately slid to her knees, feeling wronged.
Jiang He sniffed out non-existent snot.
Kita Akiko's reaction was not as intense as she had imagined.
This isn't right. I was just crying my eyes out for her a moment ago.
Jiang He looked around.
Bei Mingzi stiffly shifted his position, afraid that Jiang He would see what was behind him.
Jiang He's eyes darted around quickly. She looked at a small mound of earth that had suddenly appeared behind Bei Mingzi with a question that seemed to have a profound meaning:
"Master, what is this?"
"Nothing, nothing."
When Bei Mingzi saw that Jiang He had discovered the mound of earth he had dug, he quickly leveled it. Then, a wooden plank that had just passed by Jiang He was suddenly punched away by Bei Mingzi and flew to an unknown place.
Bei Mingzi looked up at the sky and down at the ground, refusing to meet Jiang He's gaze.
"You dug this hole out of boredom. Weren't you going to study the soil? Let me show you how the soil from our Spirit Herb Valley is."
The statement is incoherent and strange.
Jiang He clearly saw a small mound of earth, how did it turn into a pit?
Seeing Jiang He's probing gaze, Bei Mingzi spoke again:
"My disciple, tell your master..."
When Bei Mingzi asked about Jiang He's faked death, Jiang He didn't intend to hide anything and just wanted to explain to Bei Mingzi.
She then told him about the clone.
Both Bei Mingzi and Dugu Junli could see that whether they told anyone or not, it was only a matter of time before they found out.
After Jiang He finished speaking, Bei Mingzi suddenly lowered his head again, turned his back, and raised his sleeve.
Jiang He didn't think there was anything to brag about in her escape, but seeing Bei Mingzi's distress for her, a part of her heart softened.
"Live well now."
In order to distract Bei Mingzi, Jiang He thought of something:
"Will our Xiaoyao Sect participate in the sect competition?"
Bei Mingzi was heartbroken. Among his disciples, some had survived near-death experiences and others had frequently encountered danger. However, hearing Jiang He's calm expression still saddened him.
His apprentice is sensible.
She's so sensible it breaks my heart; she shoulders everything on her own.
If he hadn't returned after hearing the news, he probably would have had to endure it all alone again.
Thinking of this, Bei Mingzi's eyes dimmed.
Despite living for so long, he still couldn't protect the people around him at all.
When Bei Mingzi heard the topic Jiang He mentioned, his expression suddenly became more serious.
The reason their Xiaoyao Sect has fallen into such a state is ultimately because their master is useless.
The Xiaoyao Sect has no sect leader. Heng Yixing and Yu Cui have passed away one after another, leaving only him and his three disciples in the sect.
The entire sect now only has four people, including Jiang He.
Now that his apprentice has grown up, he should have some assets to rely on.
Kita Akiko turned and went back to the library, where she pulled out a stack of papers from the corner of a table:
“Disciple, our sect is poor and doesn’t have much money. But I remember your Uncle Yu bought some land for us. Now that your cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, I found quite a few spiritual plants during my recent medicinal search, which can be sold for some money. We can also pawn this land…”
Bei Mingzi explained.
The Free and Unfettered Sect doesn't have anything of value.
Thinking of the resources Jiang He needed for cultivation, Bei Mingzi simply gave Jiang He all the remaining money of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Jiang He was certainly aware that her sect was poor, but she didn't become Bei Mingzi's disciple for money.
Jiang He initially became Bei Mingzi's disciple because Bei Mingzi was an alchemist.
Jiang He carefully examined the stack of crumpled papers that Bei Mingzi had taken.
The people she has met have always been very, very good.
Jiang He didn't expect it to be any valuable land.
Bei Mingzi has returned and has no intention of leaving again, saying that she wants to be Jiang He's support.
Jiang He smiled and agreed.
She still intends to change her identity to Hongmu.
Since Bei Mingzi knows this, she can come to Lingcao Valley to cultivate from time to time. It is a good place for both alchemy and sword practice.
Jiang He turned back to the library, but halfway there, a wooden plank caught her eye.
The Tomb of My Beloved Student, Jiang He
Jiang He blinked, looking at it again and again.
Now we finally know what Bei Mingzi was hiding.
It turns out that the mound of earth we saw earlier was actually a small hill, not a pit.
Jiang He's eyes curved into a smile, and for some reason, she felt no anger at all, only a sense of relief.
Sometimes it has to be revealed.
Having a great master in the Mahayana stage as her teacher is something she should show off a bit.
Jiang He closed her eyes, pondering whether she should tell Dugu Junli about this.
When he opened his eyes again, this time not only Bei Mingzi, but also Dugu Junli was standing in the Spirit Herb Valley.
"Traitor! So you're still alive! You tricked me so badly..."
When Dugu Junli saw Jiang He, he walked up and looked her over before confirming that she was indeed still alive.
He seemed to have thought of something, and held up the secret manual in his hand:
"Well, you secretly practiced this secret technique without telling me."
What Dugu Junli held in his hand was the clone technique that Jiang He had learned.
She had indeed learned this secret technique herself, and Jiang He touched the tip of her nose guiltily.
There are usually few cultivators in Lingcao Valley, let alone Dugu Junli who comes to visit.
Of course, it has to be today.
I encountered two at once.
Dugu Junli originally came to discuss matters with Bei Mingzi.
Since they had signed a master-disciple contract, Jiang He should have been able to sense his death.
Aside from feeling flustered that day, Dugu Junli didn't sense anything amiss at all.
Just then, he noticed signs that the manual had been turned over, so Dugu Junli decided to work with Bei Mingzi to calculate Jiang He's chances of survival.
He just didn't expect that Jiang He had even learned this secret technique of separating the nascent soul from the body.
And I also learned it.
For a moment, Dugu Junli didn't know whether to praise or scold.
