Chapter 297 Liuli 2
Jiang Xinxin originally thought that the man named Haochen would compete with her for seniority and would have a problem with her, a senior sister who was obviously younger than him. Unexpectedly, he only looked arrogant, but was actually a good person. Every time they met, he respectfully called her senior sister and was respectful to her in everything on weekdays, which made Jiang Xinxin feel a little "younger" in her heart.
However, Jiang Xinxin didn't have much time to spend with Haochen. Even though Haochen's talent was not worse than hers, he was seriously injured at the time, and Taoist Hengyang needed to spend a lot of effort to help Haochen reopen his meridians. So Haochen only came out to meet the disciples of Xuyang Peak, as well as the other leaders and disciples of Shaoyang Sect, and the elders and disciples of each peak, and then went into seclusion.
As for Haochen's seclusion, he only spends one month every year with everyone. The rest of the time he is either recuperating or practicing. However, he is sincere and behaves like an "elder". He even cares for all the disciples of Xuyang Peak equally, which makes everyone in Xuyang Peak praise him.
But in Jiang Xinxin's eyes, there is one bad thing about Haochen: he always urges her, overtly or covertly, to practice hard so that she can ascend to heaven and contribute to the peace of the three realms.
Jiang Xinxin must go to heaven, but the heaven has been restarted eight times and is now restarting for the ninth time. He has completely indulged himself in reducing consumption, and the system can hardly obtain any useful information. Even for his own safety, Jiang Xinxin feels that staying in the human world is the best choice before obtaining enough military power.
Moreover, Jiang Xinxin and the system agreed that it was impossible for her to be brought into Xuyang Peak of Shaoyang Sect for no reason. It happened that she recently received a piece of news from Elder Hengyang that a thousand years ago, King Shura's ambitions expanded, so he joined forces with the demon clan to form a demon coalition to attack the heaven, but was eventually defeated. The entire Shaoyang Sect is now sealing a glass cup sent from the heaven, and the soul of the Demon Star is sealed in that glass cup. The mission of the entire Xuyang Peak is to guard the secret realm.
Elder Hengyang said earnestly, "A thousand years have almost passed, and the secret realm is indeed getting weaker and weaker. Back then, the heavens had predicted that the barrier would be broken after a thousand years. My Shaoyang sect also spent a lot of effort on divination, and the results showed that a heartless person would open the secret realm and revive the evil star. By then, I'm afraid the world will be devastated."
Jiang Xinxin was confused and couldn't help asking, "Master, logically speaking, the defense of the heavens is definitely not comparable to that of our mere immortal cultivation sects in the human world. Why would the heavens send such an important demon star's soul to the human world?"
"In my opinion, let's not talk about whether the glass cup really contains the soul of the evil star. The remnants of the demon race have probably never stopped looking for the evil star. It is true that the Shaoyang Sect has been safe for a thousand years, but Master, you also said that the thousand-year period is approaching. If the ancestors have calculated correctly, then it is very likely that the 'predestined person' who can open the secret realm and release the evil star has been born."
Elder Hengyang was indeed more relieved after hearing Jiang Xinxin's words, "Okay, okay, I really didn't make a mistake about you. Haochen always said that you, a senior sister, are easily distracted, but I didn't expect that you know everything in your mind."
But when it comes to the soul of the Demon Star and the person who can release the Demon Star in the prophecy, Elder Hengyang couldn't help but sigh, "How can we mortals know what the heavens are thinking? Fortunately, I now have you and Haochen as my disciples to inherit my mantle, so I don't expect anything else."
There were some things that Elder Hengyang didn't plan to tell Jiang Xinxin right away, but Jiang Xinxin had already heard from Duanqing that the head of the Shaoyang Sect, Chu Lei, had a pair of twin daughters. The elder sister was named Chu Linglong and the younger sister was named Chu Xuanji. Both sisters were beauties with outstanding looks.
It's just that their younger sister Chu Xuan Ji was born without the sixth sense and her brain is not very flexible. She has a pretty face but nothing else, which makes Chu Lei and Chu Xuan Ji worry about her.
In fact, not only Elder Hengyang, but also others in Shaoyang Sect felt that Chu Xuanji, who had no six senses, was very likely the one who could release the evil star in the prophecy. However, now Chu Linglong and Chu Xuanji were both fifteen or sixteen years old, one had average cultivation, and the other couldn't even draw Qi into the body, so everyone thought it was too coincidental, and only thought about it in their hearts, but didn't say it out loud.
Jiang Xinxin is different. Others may be hesitant and cautious, but as a person who reads a lot of online novels, she is sure that Chu Xuan Ji must be the one who can release the Evil Star. And according to some bloody settings, Chu Xuan Ji might be an alternative heroine. She and the Evil Star must have had a connection in her previous life, so after she can release the Evil Star in this life, she might even fall in love with the Evil Star to the point of destroying the world, and there is a high probability that there will be a happy ending in the end.
As for Haochen, who obviously had an extraordinary origin, Jiang Xinxin could see that he was covered with a thick layer of golden light, which was a manifestation of profound merits. He must be a person from heaven who came down to earth to experience hardships. The script in his hand should be the script of the resentful male second. No matter whether in heaven or on earth, he was gentle and devoted to the heroine, and finally left for a distant place, which was the best ending. The most feared thing was that he would die.
Jiang Xinxin was thinking about some random things while practicing sword skills. When she finished practicing a set of sword skills, Duan Qing came over and said, "Junior Sister Yuan Xin, Master wants you to come over."
Jiang Xinxin let Duan Qing gently wipe her sweat while she asked with a smile, "Sister, do you know why Master wants to see me?"
Duan Qing took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Xinxin had regained her neatness. "It's about the Hairpin Flower Competition. This year, it happens to be our Shaoyang Sect's turn to host the Hairpin Flower Competition. Master probably wants you to go over and help."
This Hairpin Flower Competition is just like the Fairy Sword Competition in Changliu, except that it has more variety. Only disciples who are sixteen years old or older but under twenty are eligible to sign up and participate. Jiang Xinxin is fifteen this year, and the next Hairpin Flower Competition will be nineteen, which makes her suitable to sign up for the competition. So this year she can only go there to help with chores.
Taoist Priest Hengyang went to see Jiang Xinxin to talk about the Hairpin Competition.
Taoist Priest Hengyang said, "I have already asked your junior brother, he is not interested in participating in the Hairpin Flower Competition, saying that his Yangque Gong has reached the tenth level, and participating in the Hairpin Flower Competition would be really bullying, so I let him guard the secret realm."
Jiang Xinxin nodded, and had no objection to Taoist Hengyang's arrangement and Haochen's decision. "Junior brother is mature at a young age, and although he doesn't seem arrogant, what he said is true. Besides, there are many disciples from various sects participating in the Hairpin Flower Conference. When there are many people and eyes, it will be the best time for the demons to fish in troubled waters. Junior brother is also thinking about the safety of the secret realm."
The only two precious disciples under his tutelage are both very outstanding, and each has his own excellence. What makes Taoist Hengyang most happy is that these two disciples usually discuss things with each other and respect each other. Even if he decides to pass the position of the peak master to Jiang Xinxin for a little selfish reason, Haochen did not see any objection. On the contrary, since Haochen knew his decision, he has tried his best to assist Jiang Xinxin.
