Destiny is ashes

Chapter 359 Reunion (23)

An Jing didn't know what to say. With his understanding of the Demon Cult, he could easily imagine that his mother was likely surrounded by the Demon Cult's spies.

The surveillance that Shen Mubai felt was most likely from the Demonic Cult.

But there’s no point in saying this now, because there’s a high probability that there’s something strange going on in Beirui City... Tsk, this Huaixu world is really about to get big, why does it feel like there’s no place where people can live in peace?

"Mom is fine. She's not sick or in any trouble."

Shen Mubai raised his hand and stroked An Jing's cheek. She thought she would never see her child again, and she sighed with emotion: "On the contrary, you have suffered all these years."

"It's nothing bitter."

An Jing shook his head slightly: "It is better to say that after this incident, I have seen myself clearly and realized that there are too many people in this world who should be killed and must be killed."

"Just because it's you." Shen Mubai knew very well that if an ordinary child fell into such a predicament, he would have lost control long ago, let alone understand himself.

"Mother is right here." She said, "But your Junior Sister Bai came here specially to follow Mother just to see you. Maybe there is something important... Although it is a demon sect, there is no need to be too particular when there is no one around."

An Jing could see that Shen Mubai had a good impression of Bai Qinghan, but he was still a little wary of the Demon Cult. However, given the current situation in the northern border, in the face of the frost disaster in the north, and the chaos that was imminent, the Demon Cult was really not a big problem.

The mother and son chatted for a few more sentences, and then An Jing got up and went to the back room.

Bai Qinghan sat quietly and elegantly at the small table, which made An Jing feel quite unfamiliar - she was not a person who understood etiquette. When they were taking a break during training, Bai Qinghan sat in a very casual manner, which made Gu Yeqi beside her change his expression. It took him a long time to correct himself a little.

——The posture teacher of Tianyi Demon Cult is quite powerful.

Such a meaningless thought flashed through his mind. An Jing thought about it and said directly: "Thank you."

"But Xiaobai, why did you come here in person?"

He did not ask how the Demon Cult found his mother, nor did he ask what the Demon Cult's purpose was - these were all irrelevant and could be guessed.

An Jing was only curious about the reason behind Bai Qinghan's choice.

"The people who originally assisted in monitoring my aunt were from the Western Tour Envoy's faction."

Bai Qinghan said softly, "After the Western Tour Envoy died, I used my status as the Goddess of Xuanyin and the excuse that we were from the same village to take over my aunt's surveillance team, and took over all the tasks related to you."

"Ah?" Hearing this, An Jing couldn't hold back any longer: "They gave you all the tasks related to me?"

"Ah."

"This isn't something that can be explained with just a "hmm". Xiaobai... no, Qinghan, what exactly does the Tianyi Demon Cult say?"

"As I just said, I have taken full responsibility for the task related to you."

Bai Qinghan said seriously. She took out a book made of strange materials from her bosom and placed it on the small table: "Among them, there are responsibilities for teaching you many secret books of the religion."

An Jing sat in the chair opposite Bai Qinghan. He fell into deep thought and then understood.

"The Devil Cult of Heaven's Will..."

He was shocked and said, "You don't treat me as an outsider at all?"

Bai Qinghan nodded silently, leaving An Jing almost speechless: "They thought I was on a business trip and studying freely in Dachen?"

Bai Qinghan continued to nod silently, and An Jing reminded him, "I indirectly killed the Western Tour Envoy, and I also worshipped the Master of the Mingjing Sect as my master. I betrayed my religion!"

Bai Qinghan nodded silently, and An Jing thought deeply: "This is not right... Could it be that the Demon Cult has the ability to know my progress? Well, after all, it is the Demon Cult's fundamental law, so it is normal to have this ability." "But why do they do this? What is the basis for them to do this? Isn't my attitude clear? I must kill them!"

"There's nothing strange about this."

Bai Qinghan finally spoke, her tone was filled with a hint of disapproval: "Don't we all know that there are many people with mental problems in the Divine Religion? The people above also have mental problems. People with mental problems are not afraid of death at all. Your threat to kill them is no different from saying I'm going out for a walk."

"You are finally normal." Hearing this, An Jing heaved a sigh of relief: "You spoke in such a literary style before that I thought you were mentally ill."

"I didn't read books before." Bai Qinghan gritted her teeth and clenched her fists under the table. This time she was really emotional: "Now that I have read books, I have to change a little bit!"

It was indeed a huge change, and An Jing almost didn't recognize Bai Qinghan.

After this topic, the atmosphere between the two returned to the time when they were in Xuanming Manor. An Jing asked curiously, "What's wrong with your hair?"

Bai Qinghan lowered his eyes and raised his finger. A wisp of Xuanyin Qi naturally seeped out from his fingertips, like a bright pearl in the white dew. "Practicing the 'Taiyin Pure and Quiet Wonderful Chapter' and the 'Shaoyin Cave True Wonderful Sutra' together, the Xuanyin Qi fills the whole body, and the supernatural powers are revealed. It is called 'Quiet Moon Bright'."

"This is a kind of physical supernatural power that allows me to master three kinds of Xuanyin-related spiritual energy at the same time. I need to maintain my state of mind on weekdays. The white hair is just the manifestation of Xuanyin Qi, but it can be changed back."

"That's not a problem." An Jing was mainly curious. He had seen many people with strange hair colors in Huaixu Tianyuan, but they were either caused by bloodline or hair dyeing. Bai Qinghan's natural transformation was really rare.

After calming down, he asked, "Apart from this booklet...what else is there from the Demon Cult?"

"Have."

Bai Qinghan said: "I came here in person this time, not only to ensure the safety of my aunt, but also to tell you the situation inside the Demon Cult, as well as some information about your father."

"Ah?" Now it was An Jing's turn to open his eyes wide: "My father?"

"Yes." Bai Qinghan also sighed when he said this: "Your father An Qianshan has been looking for you in the Northern Barbarians, but you all left the Northern Barbarians and he couldn't find you... When he heard about you, his Northern Barbarian tribe had already settled in a remote place in the northern border. He couldn't come to find you because of the frost disaster."

An Jing had to admit that the information Bai Qinghan brought was all what he wanted and what he longed to know.

My mother is fine, and my father sounds good too. Although he is quite far away, he must have been captured by the northern barbarian tribe and then got promoted to a higher position, but it's better to be farther away.

The countryside has its own advantages.

"Who else knows this news?" he asked, and Bai Qinghan whispered, "Just you, me, and Master. I didn't tell my aunt because I was afraid there would be any accidents."

"If you think you should say it, then say it."

It is definitely something that needs to be said, but not now. An Jing thought about it and felt that he had to help Bai Qinghan no matter what, otherwise he would feel bad.

After thinking it over, An Jing discovered that he actually had some information that Bai Qinghan was interested in.

"I roughly know the truth about the Vast Sea Demon Tribulation."

Hearing this, Bai Qinghan also raised her head, her long eyelashes trembling, proving her inner unrest.

An Jing didn't waste any words. He summarized the relevant information he got from You Ruhui, Ming Guangchen and Jin Yanhua, and told Bai Qinghan roughly.

"After the Vast Sea Demonic Tribulation, the Vast Sea Region's earth veins may be damaged, followed by the death of King Jing and the Northern Border Frost Tribulation..."

After listening, Bai Qinghan's eyes were deep, and she whispered to herself: "And Zhen Chi also said that it was because of the internal strife in Dachen that it didn't want to stay any longer..."

"I see, is that so?"
