The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 506 The Sensitive Third Tail (Fourth Update)

"Could it be that I picked up someone else's daughter?" Zhou Qing shook his head, dismissing the absurd idea.

He has now broken through to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Severing Realm, and all the "future" that Yao Yao mentioned has happened.

If it were something to be picked up, it would have been found long ago.

If she is not his daughter, where did these memories come from?

Countless questions swirled in Zhou Qing's mind like a tangled mess, making his head buzz.

He even began to suspect that the twelve-year-old Lu Yaoyao he saw at Taiqing Gate back then might be the "misplaced" existence.

But the Yao Yao in front of me is so vivid and real. Her dependence and her adoration are exactly the same as the Lu Yao Yao in my memory.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Zhou Qing's face suddenly turn pale and his eyes become unfocused, Yu Yan couldn't help but take a step forward, her voice filled with worry.

Zhou Qing suddenly came to his senses, and Yao Yao in his arms was also startled by his expression. She gently rubbed her little head against his cheek and asked, "Daddy, are you feeling unwell?"

"N-nothing." Zhou Qing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his turbulent thoughts, and managed a smile.

He reached out and patted Yao Yao's head. "I was just thinking about some little things and got a little distracted."

Shen Juefeng noticed Zhou Qing's unusual behavior but didn't press him for details. He simply patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder and said, "You're probably just too tired these past few days. Get some rest."

“Once you’ve recovered, we can discuss the information we’ve gathered about the Yan family.”

Zhou Qing nodded, but his gaze remained somewhat unfocused.

He carried Yao Yao and walked heavily towards the room, his brows furrowed the entire time.

He needs time to sort out all the details of the past.

Especially Lu Yaoyao's words reminding him to "be careful of yourself," now seem more complicated than he imagined.

"We must find out the truth as soon as possible," Zhou Qing silently resolved.

If Lu Yaoyao is not Yaoyao, then what lies behind this is probably a huge secret that could overturn his understanding.

But if she is, then what does the disappearance of the entry represent?
Is there a problem with the "Mind's Vision"?
But the system has never made a single mistake.

……

Three days later, Shen Juefeng and Shen Lieyang arrived side by side, the former holding a translucent white jade slip, which he handed to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing raised his hand and placed the jade slip on his forehead, immersing his consciousness into it to carefully examine the information recorded inside.

"In order to suppress the arrogance of the Yan family, we released the news of the death of Yan Wuming, the ninth ancestor of the Yan family, a long time ago, and it has been quite effective." Shen Juefeng said slowly from the side.

"With the Xiao and Liu families being destroyed one after another, many people now believe that it is the old man who escaped back then who is taking revenge."

Shen Lieyang added, "That's right. Many families and sects that originally relied on the Yan family are now in a wait-and-see state, afraid of being caught in the crossfire."

"After all, when faced with the revenge of a terrifying old monster who has no ties and whose cultivation has reached the late stage of the Supreme Realm, no one can guarantee that their family will be safe and sound. No one wants to become the next Liu family."

Shen Juefeng let out a long sigh.

In fact, only they themselves know that the old man is currently imprisoned in the Heavenly Phoenix Palace and has no way to escape.

Zhou Qing single-handedly destroyed these families.

Zhou Qing put down the jade slip at the right moment and asked calmly, "So, the Yan family has now gathered all its core members back to the family headquarters, strengthened its defenses, and is no longer going out easily?" "That's right." Shen Juefeng nodded, "They instructed those who are affiliated with the family to help find out your whereabouts."

"However, these people didn't dare to really investigate desperately. After all, no one wanted to provoke a ruthless character who could kill a Supreme Realm expert. They just went through the motions to appease the Yan family."

He changed the subject, his tone becoming more serious: "However, they spread the news about you in the Third Tail, attracting forces and independent cultivators from other tails who were interested in you to come here."

"I want to use these people to find you—after all, two inscribed-level divine abilities are enough to drive anyone crazy."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing sneered, "Yes, they think it was the old man who killed several Supreme Realm experts. As for me, I'm just a Spirit Severing Realm expert with two Inscription-level Divine Abilities. I can't cause any trouble."

"Heh, people die for money, birds die for food, they certainly know how to play the game."

Shen Juefeng's expression darkened as he said, "However, I have received another piece of news. The Yan family seems to be quite certain that you killed Ninth Ancestor Yan Wuxin."

"They must have a secret technique that allows them to see the last person the deceased saw in life by using the soul lamp of the dead. This was also the case with Yan Sen and Yan Luo back then."

"But now you are in the dark while they are in the light, so they can't directly pinpoint your location. That's why they used such a blatant scheme to force others to come out, and then have the Yan family patriarch personally kill you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing frowned slightly.

He had previously thought that the Yan family deduced his identity through battle traces, but he didn't expect it to be through such a secret technique, which surprised him.

"In addition, they also notified Bai Fengyin of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace to come, and she is probably on her way now," Shen Juefeng added, his tone becoming increasingly solemn.

"What's even more troublesome is that there are still several Earthly Supreme Old Monsters, who may already be in the Third Tail at this moment."

"Based on my deduction, they know about your feud with the Yan family, and they will probably be waiting near the Yan family's main compound, waiting for you to walk into their trap."

Zhou Qing's expression turned completely serious.

The Earthly Sovereign is the true pinnacle of existence in the Heavenly Fortune Holy Dynasty.

He was only at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Severing Realm, and facing such an existence, his fate was almost certain to die.

It should be understood that the reason why the Heavenly Fortune Holy Dynasty is stuck at the fifth level of cultivation country is because it lacks a sufficient number of Heavenly Sovereigns.

If a few Heavenly Sovereigns are born, then we can apply to the Imperial Dynasty Alliance to be promoted to a Level 6 Cultivation Kingdom.

"So, father-in-law, you mean we can't touch the Yan family yet?" Zhou Qing asked Shen Juefeng.

Shen Juefeng nodded, his tone certain: "That's right. If your battle with Yan Wuxin caught him off guard, then right now, they are fully prepared."

He paused, then continued, "The entire Third Tail is currently in an extremely sensitive state. Whether it's sect feuds or personal grudges, it's a matter of concern for cultivators, not to mention those in the Spirit Severing Realm, even those in the Nascent Soul Realm."

"As soon as a fight breaks out, it can instantly attract countless people to watch, just to confirm whether it is the old man or you who are seeking revenge."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing raised an eyebrow, somewhat taken aback: "That's an exaggeration?"

"More than that!" Shen Lieyang gave a wry smile, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"Some people also bring along demonic beasts with special talents, leading them around the Third Tail every day to monitor the situation. As soon as a cultivator releases a burst of spiritual energy, the demonic beast will immediately react."

He shook his head: "So right now, the entire Third Tail is outwardly peaceful, and no one is willing to make a move easily—no one wants to be surrounded by a group of people over a small matter, and they are even more afraid of being taken advantage of by others."

“Some powerful and hot-tempered rogue cultivators originally came for your two inscription-level divine abilities.”

"But when they saw that they were completely unrelated people, and that I had made a wasted trip, I just killed them to vent my anger. More than a dozen people have died in the past few days."
