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

Chapter 823 The Doubles Match Begins
Now is a crucial time for his plan, and he must not let these things ruin the scheme that has been planned for so many cycles.

Setting aside the now-broken immortal artifact, Qu Shu sensed something and turned to look at the man in the corner: "Why did you come out by yourself?"

Qingxu stood in the shadows, leaning against the wall, looking at her seemingly outstanding and powerful son with almost pity.

But pity only existed at the deepest level; more than anything, Qingxu was afraid of his son.

"Xiao Shu, do you know about your mother?"

Qu Shu ignored him.

On the surface, he was a dutiful son who went to great lengths to bring his biological father back and bring his biological mother's remains to the Tianhuang Cemetery. But in reality, both of these steps were just the prelude to completing his plan.

He felt more sorrow than affection for his biological father, who only had Huang Zhao in his mind.

Knowing full well that Huang Zhao only saw him as a tool to rebel against the elders and rules of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, he was still willing to bear the infamy of betrayal and elope with Huang Zhao.

In the elopement between Huang Zhao and the celestial beast, everyone said that this lowly celestial beast seduced the most promising and talented generation of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, and even made this Heavenly Phoenix give birth to a Heavenly Phoenix, thus wasting Huang Zhao's good bloodline.

But no one has ever noticed that this celestial beast was once an outstanding member of the Crane Clan's younger generation, and even a potential heir apparent. Because of Huang Zhao, it bore all the blame, and the Crane Clan was abandoned by the Heavenly Phoenix Clan because of it.

The once-illustrious Crane Clan is now so obscure that even their names are rarely seen in the Upper Realm.

To this day, Qu Shu has not seen a trace of regret in her father.

He felt it was both pathetic and laughable, but also that he believed his judgment was correct.

He absolutely does not want to become like his father, someone whose mind is filled only with love and who puts everything else aside.

"Father just needs to stay in his room and not ask any other questions." Qu Shu patted the table, and several puppets slowly appeared beside him. Under Qu Shu's control, they went to Qing Xu and seemed to be taking Qing Xu back to his room.

The blood that Qu Shu took from Qing Xu's body during this period was enough for him to do research for a while.

In fact, if Qingxu hadn't had too much blood drawn and was no longer suitable for research on the soul, Qu Shu would have even wanted to test Qingxu's soul's reaction to these immortal plants.

Pity.

"It seems I'll have to improve my father's physique," Qu Shu thought casually, glancing at her father.

"Xiao Shu, I know you hate me and your mother for abandoning you when you were little, but can you hate only me? Your mother also had her own reasons."

Qu Shu was preparing medicine and thinking about how to create the next immortal weapon when he heard Qing Xu's words. He couldn't tell whether he felt absurd or something else. He looked at his father, who had been sold out and was still living there counting money, with a half-smile.

"Do you know that Huang Zhao has never cared about you?"

Qingxu paused for a moment, then nodded.

Qu Shu raised an eyebrow. This was quite unexpected. He hadn't expected his father to be so deeply in love with him, even knowing he was just a tool.

This feeling disgusted him.

Qingxu met the undisguised mockery and disgust in her son's eyes and stammered, "Xiaoshu, you wouldn't understand. My life was saved by your mother. Without her, I wouldn't be who I am today."

Qu Shu suppressed the violence in her heart: "Don't interfere in my affairs. Just take care of yourself. Don't worry, I won't let you see her death with your own eyes."

Qingxu's pupils contracted: "She's your mother." Qu Shu chuckled: "You're also my father, but what have you gained now?"

What did you get?
Imprisoned by her son, used as a blood-soaked person, as an experimental subject, as a puppet whose future days are uncertain?
Qu Shu stopped looking at him: "You have never fulfilled your duty of raising me, and coincidentally, I do not want to take on the responsibility of caring for you in your old age."

Before Qingxu could say anything more, Qu Shu had already ordered the puppet to take him away.

Qu Shu composed herself and began refining immortal artifacts once more.

When his immortal artifact finally began to take shape, Lin Zhao and the other members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had already gone to the Northern Region Grand Competition to participate in the doubles competition.

Qu Shu knew that Su Bai had arrived, and even if Lin Zhao still had injuries, Su Bai would heal her.

Whether through dual cultivation or something else.

After all, Su Bai was the first person he had chosen who could help Lin Zhao.

Perhaps the next one... will be You Shen.

With a bloodline no less impressive than Youli's, the owner of the Purple Emperor Dragon Bow possessed an extremely pure and kind nature, and even after Youli was truly killed, she continued to help her maintain her status within the Ancient Dragon Clan.

Whether Su Bai agrees or not, Qu Shu is determined to send this person to Lin Zhao's side.

Perhaps it's time for Ning Wengui to ascend to the upper realm; his Purple Eye Glass Body physique shouldn't be wasted.

While pondering these plans, Qu Shu completed the creation of his immortal artifact.

Just as the celestial artifact was about to be completed, a hand appeared out of thin air and crushed it.

A hint of violence flashed in his eyes as he looked at the owner of the hand.

It was none other than Jin Ya, who had just completed her promotion.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Want to hit me?" Jin Ya met Qu Shu's terrifying gaze, took a few steps back, and then said with a grin, "Don't even think about threatening me with your puppet today, I've brought people! Su Bai!"

The boy in red appeared at his door at some point, and he had no idea when the restrictions on his room were broken.

"What does Your Majesty the Demon Ancestor mean by this?"

Jin Ya examined the fragment of immortal energy in her hand and said, "What does it mean? It means you should see the error of your ways. Do you know what will happen after you successfully refine this thing?"

Qu Shu said calmly, "There's no need for Lord Jinwu to worry about this."

Jin Ya scoffed: "If Lin Zhao hadn't told me to keep an eye on you, do you think I would have helped you?"

Before Qu Shu could speak, Su Bai said, "Soul Refining can indeed improve the quality of the soul, but it requires the soul of a blood relative as a catalyst. Moreover, the soul that has been improved through Soul Refining will suffer the pain of being burned day and night. You have already done enough to get closer to the Heavenly Phoenix, but there is no need to go this far. Throughout history, all the great masters who used Soul Refining techniques could not withstand the pain of being burned in the end and committed suicide."

Qu Shu looked at the shattered Soul Refining Furnace: "Do you think my soul is still a normal soul? I've done more than just this one experiment on myself, and besides... I only need this much combat power."

Jin Ya couldn't hold back: "That won't work either. Lin Zhao said that you've been keeping quiet all this time because you're thinking of going down a dangerous path, but she also said that she might be able to help you do what you want to do."

Su Bai then spoke up: "If you don't trust us, you should at least trust Lin Zhao, right?"
