After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 479 Kong Family
The old man lifted his eyelids slightly. "Let's just say it is. I understand everything my brothers who came out of the same boat with me back then did."

Lin Zhao said, "Why do you think I would agree to your request? Over the years, you've been the one to condone their actions that have harmed so many people."

There was a clear sense of guilt in the old man's eyes, but he had too many things and people to feel guilty about, and he had lived too long. Even if there were feelings left, they would fade with time.

Only those life-or-death friendships and memories continued to erode his reason and sense of responsibility as a monk.

"I am ashamed of failing the legacy of that predecessor, but fortunately I finally met you." The old man tapped the table.

Lin Zhao's hand rose uncontrollably and met the old man's palm, from which a continuous stream of pure and powerful spiritual energy flowed.

This feeling and scene were not unfamiliar to Lin Zhao. She had received spiritual energy from her brother before, but the amount of spiritual energy she received this time was vastly different from that time.

Lin Zhao instinctively tried to stop the teleportation, but the old man pressed down on his shoulder.

"My days are numbered. Consider this my payment to you. Please, young lady, help those children who can still be saved."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao sighed and said, "In that case, I will certainly do my best to try."

She withdrew her resisting spiritual energy and began to receive spiritual infusion.

……

Upon learning that the two elders wanted to see her, Cui Qingwan pursed her lips at the heavily made-up girl in the mirror, stood up, and said, "I'm coming."

She lingered for a while before entering the room. Seeing the man standing by the bed, she said sweetly, "Father, you wanted to see me?"

The two elders turned around and looked her over: "Why does Qingwan seem much more plain-looking than before? Is it because you don't have any new jewelry, or do you no longer like those cosmetics?"

Cui Qingwan took out a handkerchief, rubbed her face, and covered her mouth, saying, "These things were all bought by those stinky men. What kind of taste do they have? Father is the same. He doesn't allow Panlong Tower to recruit any female assassins. All the women who come in follow you, so I don't even have a single person to buy things for me."

The two elders smiled and said indulgently, "When the time comes, Father will go out and buy it for you. Are you satisfied with what Father buys for you?"

Cui Qingwan clenched her fingers, knowing that the next time the two elders went out, it would be her death day. She lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them, then raised her head, still with an innocent and naive look: "Really? Then I want the most expensive one!"

The two elders nodded with smiles: "Alright, alright, buy the most expensive one."

Cui Qingwan casually sat down in the chair in the second elder's room: "Father, what else did you want to see me about?"

The two elders said, "Over the years, I've often thought of your mother; you're looking more and more like her."

Cui Qingwan pointed to herself: "Me? But everyone says I look more like my father."

The two elders walked to their daughter's side, placed their large hands on her head, and gently stroked her: "Whether you look like your father or your mother, you are your father's most precious daughter. Qingwan knows how your father has treated you all these years, right?"

Cui Qingwan smiled and said, "Of course, Father loves Qingwan the most. He gives all those expensive pills to Qingwan. None of my other younger brothers and sisters survived to adulthood."

The Second Elder looked at Cui Qingwan, who still didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, and nodded in satisfaction: "So, whatever your father does in the future, it's all for your sake. Don't blame your father."

Cui Qingwan sneered inwardly: "Of course, Qingwan loves Father the most."

The Second Elder patted his daughter's shoulder: "Good girl, go back now. After the Tower Master election is over, Daddy will buy you what you want."

Cui Qingwan left the Second Elder's room, pondered for a moment, and then headed towards the Third Elder's attic. In the basement of the Third Elder's attic, Cui Qingwan pushed open the door and rushed to an elderly woman with silver hair: "Grandma Yao, Cui Mingyuan said that after the Tower Master election, he'll go out to buy me things. Is he about to lose control of his cannibalistic desires?"

An elderly woman with a full head of silver hair was fiddling with the dark medicinal herbs in front of her when she heard this and looked at Cui Qingwan.

Her eyes were pitch black, as if someone had gouged them out.

Back then, she was one of the women forcibly abducted by the Second Elder. However, she had some cultivation and was also an alchemist. Cui Qingwan deliberately acted coquettishly and rescued her when the others were about to kill her. She was then kept in the basement of the Third Elder's pavilion.

Over the years, Cui Qingwan has been able to avoid being affected by demonic energy and completely eroded by those elixirs entirely thanks to this old woman who makes medicine.

When Granny Yao heard Cui Qingwan's words, she nodded: "He's going to hurt you, you beast."

Cui Qingwan didn't think it was too much when she heard her cursing her own father like that. "I hope Lin Zhao can take action to deal with them soon."

Granny Yao asked, "Does Miss trust that girl so much?"

Cui Qingwan smiled bitterly, "Mother-in-law, please stop calling me Miss. What kind of Miss am I? As for trust... we can't trust anyone else but her."

Although Granny Yao possessed cultivation, she was blind and relied entirely on her spiritual power to perceive things. She didn't have a single spiritual artifact to communicate with the outside world.

Cui Qingwan's cultivation level was low, and all the things she possessed were obtained only after being strictly controlled by the two elders.

After thinking for a long time, the old woman asked, "If that girl succeeds, where do you plan to go?"

Cui Qingwan said, "She said she would recommend me to her former sect."

Granny Yao pondered for a moment and said, "If that girl really succeeds, and you get tired of staying in the sects outside, you can go to the Kong family of the Great Qin Dynasty and say that you are Kong Qingyi's adopted daughter."

Upon hearing this, Cui Qingwan looked at Granny Yao in surprise: "Are you from the Kong family, Granny?"

Granny Yao nodded: "It's a pity that when I came in, all my tokens were taken away, and there's no one here I can trust to leave and deliver the message to the Kong family."

Otherwise, the Kong family wouldn't be afraid of a second-rate power as long as they knew the exact location of the Panlong Pagoda.

"If that girl succeeds, I, Kong Qingyi, will owe her a huge favor."

……

As Lin Zhao emerged from the three old pavilions, he sensed the level of spiritual energy within his body and pursed his lips.

He has reached the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation stage, just one step away from entering the Integration stage.

This level of cultivation is enough to shake those two venerable elders.

Having confirmed that the Tower Master election would be held the day after tomorrow, Lin Zhao returned to Lin Yi's room and entered the cave within the secret realm to frantically draw spirit talismans, taking advantage of the time difference between the secret realm and the outside world.

What she needs to do tomorrow is not only to kill those two elders, but also to take control of the entire Panlong Tower and successfully hand it over to Lin Yi after the reshuffling, so that it can be used by Lin Yi.

The last task might be difficult to accomplish by relying solely on the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, with the addition of formations, it becomes possible.
