The General's Genius Daughter The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 285

Chapter 285 Princess Mingzhu?

Tianpi still gave Hua Qiyue the cold shoulder. Holding a stick in his hand, he stirred the water in the spiritual pool.

Hua Qiyue sat down beside Tianpi and pushed him on the shoulder. “Master, don't be narrow-minded. Just tell me!”

With a cold face, Tianpi finally cast her a glance. “Narrow-minded? I don't have time to get angry with you. I was just remembering.”

Well, face-oriented…

The corner of Hua Qiyue's mouth twitched, and she said helplessly, “All right, Master, who did you think of?”

Cold-faced, Tianpi still didn't want to talk to Hua Qiyue. This girl had so many handsome men around her out there, and she came to see him less and less now!

In front of them was a field of Ginsengs with Nine Souls. As the wind blew, the holy light covering these Ginsengs with Nine Souls glittered, appearing gorgeous.

And the fragrance of the herbs was faint and unique. Looking ahead, Hua Qiyue was surprised to find that there were herbs of various colors—green, purple, and red. When did Master plant so many divine herbs?

“Master, you have planted so many herbs that I can't name. I guess I'll have to take some time to read the books you gave me.” Hua Qiyue laughed in a low tone and touched her head embarrassedly.

Tianpi gave her many, many things, though she did not know why he took her in as his disciple.

She was, of course, dubious about Tianpi's earlier explanation. If there had been such an easy way in the world, Tianpi would have found a suitable disciple sooner rather than ten thousand years later.

Tianpi was still whipping the water in the pool idly. When the stick fell, a lot of transparent water splashed.

“Master…” Hua Qiyue tugged at Tianpi's sleeve and began to act like a spoiled child.

Tianpi would lose his mind when Hua Qiyue acted in this way. Her behavior softened his whole heart, and even his limbs felt a slight tremor.

“All right, all right, I'll tell you… How could I know so much when I've been in this world just for a short time? Hey, but I've heard of four old men when I was by Xuanji's side. One is Bai Qianxue's grandfather, and the other is Xuanji's grandfather. There's also a person named Xuanyuan Wutian in Xuanyuan Family. I heard he has been practicing in seclusion for fifty years and has not emerged from the chamber of secrets. And the last one… It is said that he became a mind demon and killed all his families in order to practice forbidden arts. He is the famous killing maniac Chu Qianzhao!”

Tianpi introduced the four old men who were at present living or practicing in seclusion in the Tianyuan Continent.

“Are they all figures in the Great Deity Realm?” Hua Qiyue frowned. In this case, it was not easy for her to finish off Xuanyuan Family.

“Of course. These old men are quite gifted. Once you run into them, I'm afraid you can't escape alive. But don't worry, they'll never hurt you with me here.”

Tianpi smiled, seeming to have a well-thought-out plan.

Hua Qiyue blinked and asked, “Master, do you mean you can go out any time?”

Tianpi looked at Hua Qiyue in silence and said nothing.

Hua Qiyue was somehow worried. “Are there some sacrifices to be made? Otherwise, how could Tianpi look at me like that?”

“Qiyue, I want to stay quiet. You go out first,” Tianpi said indifferently and was suddenly in a bad mood.

Hua Qiyue looked at him strangely, wanting to play for time to learn about more information. Unexpectedly, Tianpi just silently looked at the surface of the pool and no longer talked to Hua Qiyue.

Tianpi was not very stable now, so Hua Qiyue was going to let him think about it for a while.

He must have some secrets that he didn't want to reveal.

“Clap—”

In the main hall of the headquarters of the Dark Sect, a loud sound rang out. Cang Ye smashed another top-grade jade table!

“What did you say? The Second Palace Leader and the others were all… were all killed by Hua Qiyue, Yun Shimo, and their companions?”

Cang Ye looked at the First Palace Leader on his knees in disbelief, thinking he was playing a joke on herself.

“Are you kidding me? How could the nine Palace Leaders I've worked so hard to train… How could they die like this?”

“Hua Qiyue? Yun Shimo? Those two rookies are obviously not famous! At least they're not killing maniacs like Chu Qianzhao!”

In Cang Ye's heart, the people she trained could have few rivals even if they ran amok in the martial arts world. How could something like this happen to them overnight?

Hadn't the First Palace Leader promised to kill Hua Qiyue and all her companions? How…

Cang Ye was shocked and furious. She stood up, her cold eyes glistening with cold light, and her fierce, powerful coercion emitting, which caused the First Palace Leader below to tremble uncontrollably.

“Yes… Sect Leader… I didn't lie to you! Hua Qiyue is powerful, though… though she's at the first level of Holy God, her strength has reached the Great Deity Realm… I don't understand why her strength is so much higher than her level, either! Sect Leader, if you want to kill Hua Qiyue in the future, you must ask the former Sect Leader out!”

“The former Sect Leader?”

Cang Ye's face had never looked worse. After all, it was the first time the Dark Sect had encountered such a strong opponent since its founding.

“You mean… I'm unable to kill Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue myself?” Cang Ye said coldly.

“Sect Leader… I know they're powerful, and we can lure the enemy away from his base. But even if I face Hua Qiyue alone, I don't have the confidence to win her. Because Hua Qiyue masters Spirit Summoning Art, and her strength is unfathomable. Please think twice, Sect Leader!”

The voice of the First Palace Leader trembled. He was not severely hurt this time, but he was afraid of the strength of Hua Qiyue and her companions.

Had he not had a Rune Conferring Invisibility & Escape, he must have been killed by Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo.

“Asshole!” Cang Ye could not bear to be told that she was not mighty. She swung her sleeve, and a strong wind swept the First Palace Leader up and slammed him into the wall of the main hall.

Then he fell hard, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood and struggling feebly on the ground.

“I would have killed you if not for my grandfather's sake!” Cang Ye snapped.

At last, the veil of the First Palace Leader on the ground fell off and revealed an ordinary face. He looked deep into Cang Ye's eyes, not afraid, but full of anticipation.

“Ye-er… In fact, dying at your hands… is my only hope!”

“F*ck off!”

Cang Ye didn't bother to look at him and gave a cold snort. Immediately, two disciples came in and pulled the First Palace Leader away.

Cang Ye sat down slowly and feebly. Except for Lan Luo, the First Palace Leader, and Hua Mengshi, all the other Palace Leaders she had so carefully trained had now perished.

But she knew the First Palace Leader. His judgment was always accurate. After the establishment of the Dark Sect, he made substantial contributions to the sect.

That was why Cang Ye didn't kill him directly.

“Hua Qiyue! I will definitely tear you to pieces and send you to hell myself. I will make you feel that to live is no better than to die!”

Cang Ye's voice, full of terror and murderous intent, reverberated slowly——

On the third day, they had breakfast in the lobby on the first floor.

Hua Qiyue suddenly felt a woman picking up food in the garbage outside the inn particularly familiar.

When the woman turned her head, she looked sadly into the hall and saw the sumptuous dishes on the round table. There was a sad look in her eyes.

The woman's face was somewhat dirty and yellowish. She looked severely malnourished.

“Aye? Isn't that just Princess Mingzhu?” Ji Jing followed Hua Qiyue's gaze and could not help exclaiming.

“Yes… It turns out to be Princess Mingzhu. When Lin Qi sucked her into the pond, I thought she was dead,” Huangfu Xuan said coldly.

The memory came back to Hua Qiyue. She thought the Princess Mingzhu in front of her was very strange and always felt that something was wrong with her.

“Hua… Qiyue? Your Highness…” Of course, that “Princess Mingzhu” saw Hua Qiyue, Yun Shimo, and the others. And immediately, she murmured in surprise and delight.

Without a doubt, this “Princess Mingzhu” was Hua Mengshi. She chose not to attend the assembly of Palace Leaders so that she could truly understand the strength of Hua Qiyue and the others.

At last, the Dark Sect lost. Hua Mengshi was more certain that she had made the right choice.

So she began to approach Hua Qiyue and the others according to her plan.

Hua Qiyue and Ji Jing ran out first and came in front of Hua Mengshi, asking, “Princess Mingzhu? Is it really you?”

Hua Qiyue looked Hua Mengshi up and down. The latter, however, leaned forward with a whimper and eyes full of tears. Ji Jing did not mind her being dirty and directly hugged her.

“Let me do that!” As Ji Feng and the others came to Hua Mengshi, he was the first to take the woman in Ji Jing's arms and walk upstairs.

“I didn't expect Princess Mingzhu to be here,” Ji Jing sighed with emotion. Hua Qiyue, however, asked Caining to hire a girl to wait on “Princess Mingzhu”.

Ji Feng put Princess Mingzhu, who was in a faint, on the bed. Hua Qiyue was not going to eat anymore. She followed the others to the guest room they had just ordered and gazed deeply into Hua Mengshi's face.

“Strange. Princess Mingzhu hated me so much before, and even if something terrible happened, her hatred toward me should be as strong as ever. Why… Why do I always think that she has changed?” Hua Qiyue had many questions in her mind, but she just watched Hua Mengshi quietly.

Ji Feng felt the pulse for Hua Mengshi and said, “Her Highness is weak. She probably passed out because she hadn't eaten for days. And there is almost no spiritual energy in her body. Something terrible could have happened to her,” Ji Feng frowned and said to the others after feeling the pulse for her.

Although Ji Feng did not like Princess Mingzhu very much, he was a nice guy, and as long as one hadn't hurt him, he didn't care too much.

Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo exchanged glances.

“Looks like she needs to rest quietly to recuperate. Let's go out,” Yun Shimo said indifferently. Again, the crowd took a deep look at Hua Mengshi in tattered clothes. The appearance of such a woman always made people daydream unceasingly.

Hua Qiyue ordered the little maid they hired to wash Hua Mengshi and put on new clothes for her. Since they had nothing to do, they stayed in the lobby downstairs waiting for “Princess Mingzhu” to wake up.
