After Xu Sheng came to his senses, he smiled bitterly and said, "Qingruo, did you misunderstand something?"
Why does it seem like Zhou Qingruo is always wary of the Duanmu clan? Maybe it was because of what happened back then...
The beautiful eyes of Duanmu Lian next to him couldn't help but tighten, and reminded him, "Qingruo, don't make blind guesses. The head of the family has not ordered anything extraordinary to be done to Xu Sheng!"
She was afraid that Zhou Qingruo might misunderstand something and deepen her hatred for the Duanmu clan!
At that time, it would be even more impossible to bring it back!
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qingruo just gave her a cold look and scolded her, "Aren't the things they did secretly enough?"
She knows the Duanmu clan very well, and she hides her malicious intentions very well on the surface, but she is unscrupulous in doing things secretly!
This sentence directly reminded Duanmu Lian of something in his mind. He wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't say anything...
Immediately, Zhou Qingruo's eyes looked at Xu Sheng again, filled with deep worry...
He asked extremely seriously, "Xu Sheng, if you are really threatened by the Duanmu clan, you must tell me!"
Seeing how serious she was, Xu Sheng pursed her thin lips slightly and prepared to say something...
But before he could say anything, he was ruthlessly interrupted by a sudden hoarse sound...
"Qingruo, are our Duanmu clan so despicable in your eyes?"
I saw that the person speaking was none other than the old head of the Duanmu clan, Duanmu Xun!
He stooped and walked in slowly, his cloudy eyes staring at Zhou Qingruo's amber eyes...
As if waiting for the latter's answer...
When Zhou Qingruo heard this, her beautiful eyes were also looking at the old man in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a little nostalgia in her heart...
Duanmu Lian, who was standing next to him, saw that something was wrong, so he nodded and said, "Master!"
Duanmuxun's tone became a little softer, and he said calmly, "Well! Lian'er, please go out first. I have something to say to the two of them!"
Hearing this, Duanmu Lian felt a bit of hesitation on his delicate cheeks, "This, but..."
Duanmuxun seemed to have seen through her inner thoughts and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to them!"
Hearing these words full of assurance, Duanmu Lian nodded and said softly, "Then Lian'er will step back first!"
After saying that, he took a deep look at Xu Sheng and Zhou Qingruo, then turned around and left the library...
After she left, the situation became very embarrassing again, and even the temperature seemed to drop to zero!
Finally, Zhou Qingruo raised his eyes and looked directly at Duanmu Xun, and said in a tone without any emotion, "Old master! You should call me Zhou Qingruo. Now I have nothing to do with the Duanmu clan!"
There are only two people with whom I can be so close. One is Duanmu Lian, who has been practicing together since childhood, and the other is Xu Sheng next to me!
Duanmuxun's use of this name made her feel sick for no reason...
Duanmuxun didn't pay attention to this sentence, and asked seriously again, "Answer the question I just asked, is your impression of our Duanmu clan really so bad?"
When she saw that this man named Xu Sheng was practicing the immortal-level martial arts of the Duanmu clan, the first thought that came to her mind was that he had been bewitched or threatened by the Duanmu clan!
It can only be said to be sad and deplorable!
Zhou Qingruo withdrew his gaze and replied coldly, "It should be worse than you imagined, my master!"
She not only hates the Duanmu clan, but also hates them!
If the Duanmu clan hadn't been the family that had trained her, and my own strength wouldn't have been able to destroy it!
Otherwise, we would have already taken action!
Duanmuxun's cheeks seemed to have aged hundreds of years, and his eyes dimly said, "Is that so..."
Xu Sheng on the other side chuckled and said, "Qingruo, you may have misunderstood. The reason why I can practice these immortal martial arts is because I just made a bet with this old family leader. I was lucky enough to win!"
Zhou Qingruo was stunned and asked suspiciously, "A bet? What bet?"
This old patriarch can be said to be one of the most stubborn people in the Duanmu clan. I'm afraid it's impossible for him to make a bet, right?
What's more, the bet was to give him all the immortal-level martial arts skills of the Duanmu clan for him to practice!
Xu Sheng was about to deal with it casually, but Duanmuxun on the other side once again said in a hoarse tone, "Good luck? If this is all good luck, the geniuses in the entire cultivation world will be inferior!"
Zhou Qingruo was even more puzzled by this, but he could vaguely tell that the former's words were very serious. He narrowed his beautiful eyes and said, "Old Master, what do you mean?"
Could it be that Xu Sheng has something unique that he hasn't discovered yet?
Duanmuxun didn't say another word, but turned around silently, turned his back to the two of them and said, "There is still half a day for you to practice in the library! If the time comes, just leave on your own!"
After saying that, he walked towards the darker place in the library and disappeared from the sight of the two of them...
Seeing Duanmuxun leaving, Zhou Qingruo naturally couldn't take the initiative to question him. Instead, he stared at Xu Sheng and said word by word, "Xu Sheng, what did Duanmuxun mean just now? And what's more?"
, what kind of bet did you make?"
She found that she could not see through this man more and more. First, his cultivation reached the Golden Fairyland without any warning, and then he broke through to the Daluo Golden Fairyland, the Immortal Lord Realm...
She really doubted whether Xu Sheng's cultivation would suddenly rise to a higher level soon!
But I have to say that she did guess it right!
If he meets a stronger opponent, Xu Sheng's cultivation may really cross the Immortal Lord Realm and reach a higher realm!
Of course, these are Xu Sheng's secrets and it is impossible to make them public!
He naturally understood these truths. After taking a deep breath, he smiled and said, "What the old patriarch said just now is..."
Zhou Qingruo interrupted him again, stretched out his hand to hold his wrist, and said softly, "Xu Sheng, don't deceive me with lies!"
She is afraid, especially when the person closest to her deceives her!
Xu Sheng looked at her face full of trust and couldn't bear to deceive the latter...
In desperation, he still told her the specific situation...
A few minutes later, Zhou Qingruo's beautiful amber eyes were filled with shock, and she looked at Xu Sheng in disbelief and said, "Xu Sheng, do you mean to say that you can really master heaven-level martial arts in one minute?"
?”
Xu Sheng touched his nose and said without changing his expression, "Yeah!"
Zhou Qingruo felt much relieved after having his doubts resolved...
He couldn't help but smacked his lips and said, "No wonder you can get such high praise from Duanmuxun. Such an amazing talent has never been seen before, even if you look at the entire world of cultivation!"
Xu Sheng's dark eyes flickered, "Qingruo, can you tell me what happened to you in the Duanmu clan?"
Zhou Qingruo's face turned rosy when he heard these gentle words, "Then...well, don't you still want to practice martial arts? I won't disturb you..."
A small book stand used by book lovers.
Just as she was about to leave, her arm was suddenly held...
Faint words rang out in the library, "This... does not affect my practice!"
