A flower that seemed ordinary in appearance, yet possessed an extraordinary effect.
Ning Rongrong took the Butterfly-Attracting Flower from Chen Qingling, examining it closely. "This is the flower that can make a soul beast sacrifice itself?"
"It doesn't look like it at all..."
You wouldn't be wrong; it really didn't!
The Butterfly-Attracting Flower only had one use: to attract butterfly-type soul beasts. It had nothing to do with sacrifice.
The reason it sacrificed itself to Chen Qingling was because of the unique nature of her martial soul.
King of Butterflies! Butterfly God!
Chen Xin also couldn't make heads or tails of it; he could only say that Qingling's father had too many tricks up his sleeve, so many that they were beyond his comprehension.
"Here's Qingling back to you."
"I don't want her. I'm giving this flower to you. If you don't want it, then throw it away." Chen Qingling pouted. She didn't believe Rongrong would throw it away.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong forced a smile and reluctantly accepted it.
"Qingling, you did it on purpose!"
"Hehe, I just accidentally did it. What can you do to me!"
Watching the two of them play around, Chen Xin felt a sense of joy.
It's so good!
Since Qingling left, Chen Xin had rarely seen Rongrong laugh so happily in a whole day.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, stood off to the side, looking out of place.
At this moment, Chen Xin beckoned to Chen Qingling, "Disciple, come here, I want to speak with you alone."
"Ah? Oh, oh, oh."
Chen Qingling temporarily separated from Ning Rongrong and the others, following Chen Xin to a short distance away.
"Master, what did you want to talk to me about?"
Chen Xin's eyes revealed a hint of worry as he slowly began, "Disciple, do you know the background of the friend you're with?"
Chen Qingling's heart skipped a beat, she had been so excited that she almost forgot about this matter.
"Master, I know Xiao Wu's true identity. She is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
Chen Xin was silent for a moment. He knew Xiao Wu's true identity was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and yet she'd become friends with Chen Qingling.
This…
Was truly shocking.
You live and you learn!
Chen Xin had never seen anyone befriend a Soul Beast before. Chen Qingling was the only one!
"Since my disciple knows the truth, then I am relieved," Chen Xin said, having learned the whole story. He immediately stopped questioning Xiao Wu.
Since his disciple had no objections, naturally, he, as the master, had no objections either.
As for her Soul Beast identity?
"If you don't say anything, and I don't say anything, who'd know Xiao Wu is a Soul Beast?"
Chen Qingling looked up, meeting Chen Xin's gaze. "Master... don't you mind?" She knew the animosity between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.
Chen Xin smiled faintly. "Does it even matter if I mind now?"
"She's a friend of my disciple, so naturally, she's also a friend of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"It's just... if this ever gets out, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect won't be able to protect her... Sigh."
Chen Qingling gritted her teeth. "I know. If the day comes when it's exposed, Master, you don't have to force yourself."
The only way to keep her true identity a secret was to reach level sixty.
But level sixty was too far off, a completely unattainable goal.
Chen Qingling felt troubled. If only there was something that could hide the Soul Beast's aura.
[Ding! Detecting that target Chen Qingling is distressed about Xiao Wu's identity being exposed. Would you like to spend one thousand points to exchange for the immortal herb, Heartbroken Red?]
Chen Shengge frowned, "Identity exposed?"
He immediately understood. His daughter likely knew Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast and was worried about her safety.
"One thousand points for Heartbroken Red?"
Chen Shengge fell silent. If it was for his daughter, he would choose to exchange it without hesitation.
But this time, it was to be exchanged for an outsider.
Chen Shengge couldn't accept it. He wasn't a saint, and wouldn't generously give it away for free.
"I'm not giving anything away for free, not in this lifetime."
So, Chen Shengge didn't choose to exchange anything. Instead, he connected with his daughter mentally.
"Daughter, I can't help you with everything, but I can tell you something. In the Sunset Forest, there's a treasure land called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has countless celestial herbs, and there happens to be a Heartbroken Red, which can conceal the aura of a soul beast."
"As long as it doesn't fall off, Xiao Wu's identity as a soul beast won't be exposed."
Chen Qingling's eyes lit up, and she silently said, "Thank you, Father!"
Although he couldn't actually help her, he had pointed her in the right direction.
No matter what, Father was always the most reliable!
"Master, do you know where the Sunset Forest is?"
Chen Xin's face showed joy. "Disciple, are you about to break through?"
Chen Qingling shook her head. "No, I wanted to ask if Master knows about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Sunset Forest?"
"Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"
Chen Xin frowned, he didn't recall any such place in Sunset Forest!
Seeing Chen Xin's reaction, Chen Qingling understood that her master didn't know, and she immediately deflated.
"Sigh, even if we know the place, it won't be easy to find. But for Xiao Wu, I must find it!"
Chen Xin was confused, he didn't understand what was going on.
"Disciple, what are you..."
"Master, my father just told me that to prevent Xiao Wu's soul beast identity from being exposed, I need to find a Heartbroken Red in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Sunset Forest. It can conceal the soul beast's aura."
"Huh?!"
Chen Xin was dumbfounded.
Did Qingling's father just tell him something?
Why didn't he sense a thing?
Mind communication?
This ability was simply terrifying!
Chen Xin swallowed, becoming even more curious about Qingling's father.
What kind of reclusive powerhouse possessed such great power?
First, he could send items across a distance, and now, mind communication.
He just casually dropped a bomb!
"Qingling, you've come all this way to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Let's put things on hold for a day."
"Tomorrow, I will personally take you and Xiao Wu to the Sunset Forest."
Chen Qingling's eyes sparkled, her eyes curving into crescents.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Master is the best to me."
Watching her coquettish disciple, Chen Xin's heart nearly melted.
"Ahem, I'll explain this to the Sect Master and your other master. I'm leaving now."
"Farewell, Master."
Watching Chen Xin fly away on his sword, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu finally came over.
Just after being sent away for a while, the two girls unexpectedly became quite close.
"You two…"
Ning Rongrong playfully stuck out her tongue. "What? Surprised?"
"We're close in age, there's no reason we couldn't be friends."
Chen Qingling was secretly delighted, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.
She had been worried the two wouldn't get along, but it seemed she'd been overthinking things.
"Qingling, I'm going to take Xiao Wu around the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Want to come?"
"Sure, I haven't toured the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in ages."
"I have some things to tell you both, we can chat as we walk."
"Alright."
Chen Qingling, hand-in-hand with the other two, began to stroll through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Along the way, they chatted and laughed. Chen Qingling also recounted everything that had just happened.
She didn't want to hide anything from her two close friends.
When Ning Rongrong learned of Xiao Wu's true identity, her eyes widened in shock, and she exclaimed repeatedly.
Clutching her chest, which rose and fell rapidly, she said, "So, Xiao Wu, you really are a rabbit. I never thought I'd make such a unique friend."
