The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 471 Zhou Qing, you should know that the old hen is my family! (Second Update)

After reminiscing, Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth anyway.

This seemingly carefree second uncle probably has more secrets than I do.

Besides, that old hen has lived with the old man for many years, so if anything unexpected happens, it can be remedied in time.

After thinking it through, he quietly transmitted his voice: "Second Uncle, there's something I need to tell you. Don't ask me how I know, and don't act too surprised."

The second uncle was about to ask about his granddaughter when he heard this telepathic message and immediately became nervous.

No, this private room already has the highest level of soundproofing, so why would we need to use a sound transmission device?
There are only the two of us in the room. Who are we trying to keep an eye on?
That old hen?

Despite his deep doubts, he pretended to be nonchalant and casually picked up the wine jar to pour himself a glass of wine.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Qing continued to transmit his voice, "Do you still remember the black heart on that ancient tree in the forbidden area? This old hen is that heart."

"They are all innate spirits who escaped from the battlefield of stars and are hiding there to recuperate."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Erda's hand, which was pouring wine, trembled violently, and his eyes widened as he almost turned to look at the chicken.

But he stubbornly resisted the urge to move, and pretended to be calm as he downed the drink in one gulp.

Zhou Qing added, "I discovered the clues gradually later, so it should be correct."

"This is why the old hen can ignore some restrictions; it was no accident that it appeared at the Five Trade Fairs back then."

"At that time, the black heart had already condensed into a physical form, but its appearance was still that of an egg-shaped chicken."

Zhou Qing then told him everything he knew.

The second uncle became increasingly alarmed as he listened.

For so long, he had been completely unaware that he had a sentient, innate spirit by his side.

"It's over! Although I don't know exactly what the innate spirit is, back in the cave of the White Jade Taixu Academy, I used my ultimate weapon to open the scroll of the Hundred Tribulations Blood Curtain for you, so it must have seen it too."

“In these six years, I have also exposed a lot of secrets. If it fully awakens, will it target us?” The second uncle’s voice tightened slightly.

Zhou Qing gently stroked the old hen and pondered, "Probably not. I have a feeling it might not be interested."

After a moment of silence, the second uncle said, "I hope so. It comes from the Starry Sky Battlefield and is as old as the Taiqing Sect. It seems that its origins and those of that ancient tree are extraordinary."

Zhou Qing nodded slightly: "The Taiqing Sect has been established for more than 14,000 years and has gone through 19 sect leaders. The fact that they have survived from the Star Battlefield to this day means that their strength and lifespan probably far exceed those of the Heavenly Sovereign."

"Why would such a being care about our meager possessions?"

Second Uncle nodded thoughtfully.

"You're right, it's better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade. Maybe we can even get a great opportunity from this!" the second uncle suddenly transmitted his voice.

Zhou Qing understood: "That's right, so I've been pretending to know nothing. Being too overtly friendly would only make me seem a bit ulterior motives."

Uncle Er poured himself a glass of wine, then suddenly burst into laughter, stood up, grabbed the old hen, and rubbed it vigorously a couple of times.

He said loudly, "Speaking of which, I've been so grateful to it for keeping me company during these past few years of healing. It has relieved a lot of my worries, and I've come to regard it as family without even realizing it."

Zhou Qing: "."

No, when we met just now, they couldn't wait to dump this trouble on me. But their attitude changed way too quickly after they found out who I am.

"I didn't expect you to have even taken care of the Xuanyuan royal family, using that thing?"

Seeing that Zhou Qing was speechless, the second uncle subtly gave him a look and changed the subject.

Zhou Qing naturally understood that his second uncle was referring to the ultimate weapon in his hand, but he simply shook his head slightly: "They are not worthy."

"Good lad!" The second uncle gave him a thumbs up in praise, then changed the subject: "What about my granddaughter? I only saw her briefly that night, did you name her yet?" "Her name is Yao Yao." Zhou Qing's expression softened a bit, "She's with Yu Yan now, at the Fifth Tail."

"Yaoyao?" The second uncle was taken aback at first, then seemed to suddenly remember something. "By the way, where's your little follower, Lu Yaoyao? Why haven't I seen her this time?"

Zhou Qing's expression instantly darkened.

Seeing this, the second uncle had a bad feeling and wisely didn't ask any more questions.

"I heard recently that the Liu family was wiped out?" He quickly poured Zhou Qing a full glass of wine and pushed it towards him, smiling as he changed the subject again.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath.

He decided not to mention Lu Yaoyao's matter to his second uncle for the time being—there were still some things he didn't understand.

"I did it," he said in a deep voice.

He then briefly recounted his journey from the Xiao family to the Liu family.

Not only did he retrieve the jade pendant left behind by the Moonlit Inspector, but he also revealed the matter of the apostles without reservation.

He had nothing to hide from his second uncle, who was both his benefactor and his elder.

After hearing all this, Uncle Er was filled with emotion.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qing's experiences in just a few years were even more dramatic than his.

"Don't worry, this time when we're dealing with the Yan family, your grandpa will be there to help," the second grandpa said, patting his chest.

"With our two ultimate weapons and three inscribed divine abilities, we've got them in for a rough time!"

Zhou Qing stared at the second uncle and nodded solemnly: "Thank you, sir."

"No need for thanks between us! Come on, take me to meet my precious granddaughter, this was arranged in advance!" Uncle Er laughed heartily as he stood up.

Zhou Qing smiled slightly: "Okay."

The next day, when Yu Yan pushed open the door and saw Zhou Qing standing outside, her eyes lit up with surprise: "Brother Zhou, you're back! And who is this?"

Before she could finish speaking, a middle-aged man suddenly poked his head out from behind Zhou Qing.

"Sister Yuyan, we meet again!" Uncle Er waved and greeted her with a smile.

The swift frowned in confusion: "Who are you?"

Before she could finish speaking, the scene before her eyes made her widen her eyes in shock.

The middle-aged man's face changed like flowing water, transforming in the blink of an eye into the appearance of a young man with red lips and white teeth.

"It's you!" Swift's pupils contracted.

When Zhou Qing joined the Shen family under the alias Master Qingzhou, he was accompanied by this young disciple who called himself "Si Yunya".

When she, her cousin, and Bai Xiang went to visit, it was this very boy guarding the main hall, and he was even being groping the twins sent by the second branch of the Shen family.
Before she could recover from her shock, the boy in front of her transformed into an old man with white hair, a youthful face, and a kind expression.

Before the swift could react, the old man had already chuckled and slipped into the room.

"Where's Yao Yao? Grandpa's here to see you!" The second uncle's voice was filled with undisguised joy.

As soon as he finished speaking, a small head peeked out from the crack in the inner room door.

Five-year-old Yao Yao blinked her big, bright eyes and curiously looked at the unfamiliar grandfather who had suddenly appeared.

The second uncle was stunned the moment he saw Yao Yao.
