Destiny is ashes

Chapter 235: Huh? Whose apprentice am I?
A small flaw is enough to create a huge mistake, a life-and-death crisis!
But, after all, it is just a small flaw. As long as it doesn't really get worse, it is not irreversible.

All you have to do is claim that you were born into a great family deep in the dust and have nothing to do with the hundreds of tribes in the border areas!
In an instant, An Jing thought of a set of excuses, and on the surface, he lowered his head slightly, as if he was respectfully waiting for the real person to ask questions.

As expected, Inspector Cao asked directly: "I heard from Kan Mingcheng that you acted bravely and killed seven demon soldiers of the True Demon Sect by yourself, and rescued many Dachen people who were kidnapped and sold, but you never asked for a penny of reward. You are truly a model of chivalry."

"But, you don't take it, which shows your noble character. And my Dachen law is supreme, so I must give it to you."

"It is a pity that you are in a hurry to return to your hometown and cannot accept the public commendation, but you can also stay in your clan residence. The governor of Huangzhou will send an envoy to visit you."

Inspector Cao paused, obviously waiting for Jingxuan to introduce himself.

In response, An Jing said fluently: "Master, my tribe lives in seclusion in the northeast of Jiankong Mountain, on the northern bank of Burong Lake under the jurisdiction of Ximing Peak. Due to the influence of frost, the tribe sent an envoy to visit the Supreme Master on the peak. I am playful and naughty, and I admire the King of Dachen. I have studied Chen studies and I am proud of my military strength, so I secretly left the team and came to Kanming, intending to experience the customs of Dachen firsthand."

"Who knew that I would be dragged into the evil of the Heavenly Demon? Fortunately, the real person took action and defeated the Heavenly Demon invisibly. The entire Kanming City must have suffered a great disaster. Thinking of this, I am grateful to tears!"

"As for the commendation, I am deeply honored. However, due to the frost disaster, my parents must be very worried. In order to prevent my parents from worrying too much, I still have to return to Chenli as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Facing An Jing's fluent self-introduction and flattery, Patrol Inspector Cao nodded thoughtfully: "Ximingfeng... Daze... Well, it does seem to be true..."

——Of course, what I said is true!

An Jing thought, Chen Li and the northern part of Da Chen have been trading for so many years, he certainly knows how Chen Li distinguishes the tribes and territories - first of all, there are five mountains, and there are peaks under the mountains, and there are lands under the peaks, and there are tribes on the land. With this system, even non-existent tribes sound like they are real.

What he just reported was the information of the young Chenli warrior who was used as the raw material when he created the fake identity of Jing Xuan. It was real and without a single lie!
"With your strength, if you hadn't happened to encounter the Frost Tribulation Demon Disaster, you could have traveled freely. No wonder your master was confident in letting you 'escape'."

Inspector Cao seemed to have figured something out. He nodded slightly and casually took out a precious mirror from his arms: "This is the precious mirror passed down from your family, right? The craftsmanship is indeed exquisite, and it uses a lot of equipment. It can be called a masterpiece of nature."

"To be able to create such a precious mirror, your master or ancestor must be a true descendant of the peak. Now the demons are rampant on the edge of the dust and the danger is extremely high. Tell me his name and I will notify him to come and pick you up."

——This is really bad!

Swallowing his saliva, An Jing said that he was sweating profusely. Although he had been prepared for Inspector Cao to dig into the matter, he did not expect that the other party would even get the magic mirror.

The craftsmanship of the Tianyuan Realm was so advanced that it was probably beyond some limit that he didn't know, causing Inspector Cao to misunderstand his identity.

Regardless of whether the other party wanted to test what the non-existent "True Teachings on the Peak" behind him meant, whether he wanted to stir up trouble in Dachen, or whether he really wanted to kindly inform Elder Jingxuan to send this talented young man back, lest such a genius from Chenli who was to be commended by Dachen encounter any accident on the way, it would be embarrassing for both sides, and An Jing was now being roasted under the fire.

——What should I do now? Just give a name and use the Taixu Sword to escape while Cao is checking the communication? It's not that extreme. It's not a life-and-death crisis.

——Or should I confess my true identity? Anyway, I am just a defector from the Demon Cult, so it probably won’t be a big deal if I tell the truth?
——Or... say that I am actually just a small clan, and the mirror was passed down from my ancestors? But this would conflict with the news I spread before... But I can try to see if I can get away with it.

Forget it, just deal with it as it comes!
"grown ups……"

As An Jing pondered, he showed an embarrassment on his face, causing Inspector Cao to frown slightly: "Why? What can't you say?"

An Jing was just about to "admit" that he had lied, saying that his family was not a wealthy family and had no connection with Fengshang Zhenchuan.

Suddenly, another ray of light from the sky turned into a warm sunlight mirror, hanging above the two people's heads.

"Hey, Brother Cao, why do you have to embarrass the youngster?"

The light of the mirror condensed, and Zhenren Shenzang, wearing a white robe, stepped out from the void.

Ming Guangchen, the Master of the Mysterious Mirror, with mottled gray-black hair, stood between An Jing and the frowning Inspector Cao and said calmly, "What decisions can a junior make? They must have been given by us elders."

"If you want to ask, just come and ask me directly. Why trouble me, your disciple?"

These words came like a bolt from the blue.

"you?"

Hearing Ming Guangchen's words, Inspector Cao looked at An Jing with a strange expression, then looked at Master Xuan Jing: "He is your disciple?"

"I?"

Although An Jing's expression remained unchanged, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Whose disciple am I?"

"what?"

You Ruhui, who was hiding in the trunk, also sent a blank thought to An Jing: "Are you his apprentice?"

"Correct."

Ming Guangchen was even more calm. He took a step back and patted An Jing on the shoulder: "He is my disciple."

For a moment, silence fell on the vast plains of the Western Hills.

The many team members who had already stood up in the surrounding area now simply prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Two god-like Shenzang Zhenren came at once, and there seemed to be some contradiction between them?
And the center of the conflict is their employer?

——Jingxuan, is he the disciple of Master Xuanjing?

Yes...yes!
After knowing this, those who had some doubts about An Jing's identity suddenly felt enlightened!
Only if he is a disciple of Zhenren Shenzang can Jingxuan’s strength be explained!

Only Jing Xuan, a disciple of Zhenren Shenzang, would come to Kanming City at such a delicate moment and become an enemy of the True Demon Sect!

Jingxuan came to Kanming City to investigate the situation on behalf of his master who could not enter Dachen at will!
Everything became clear, even Inspector Cao showed a look of realization: "He is really your apprentice? Jingxuan, Xuanjing... So that's it, I understand!"

——What do you know!
