Asking the Heart (2)

What kind of strong mood should be able to destroy even the heart stone?

Ning Xiao suddenly wanted to meet that girl.

The three peak masters were also curious about the person who destroyed the two treasures of Gushan one after another, and soared from one cloud towards.

“Master, shall we go?” Yu Meng asked.

Ding Fenghua said with a sullen face, “What are you going to do? Are you insulting yourself?”

Yu Meng rolled his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ding Fenghua put the sword in his hand across his neck, his face was murderous.

Yu Meng was so scared that his face was bloodless, and his words were uncomfortable, “Mas-Master, what is this, what are you going to do?”

Ding Fenghua said coldly: “Don’t think that I don’t know your idea. You can’t publicize the matter of the Heavenly Stairs and the heart-questioning stone!”

Yu Meng originally wanted to tell outsiders secretly about it. He knew that this matter was too shocking, and when he said about it, Pei Yu would definitely attract everyone’s attention, especially the Zhuangzi Saints. They were afraid that Gushan would have another genius, and who knows what measures might be taken.

He thought he was foolproof for this trick to kill with a knife, and never thought that he would be blocked by his master.

Yu Meng cried and said, “Master, isn’t this good for us at Baidai Peak?”

Ding Fenghua’s face was cold, and complexities flashed in his narrow eyes, “Baidai Peak is also the Baidai Peak of Gushan.”

On the questioning platform, Pei Yu put her hand up several times, but the heart-questioning stone did not react any more, and in the end, even the white light did not flash.

“Huh,” Huai Bai also touched the cold heart stone, “broken?”

She looked at Pei Yu more inquisitively, and wondered to herself whether or not to send the child to the Zhuangzi Saints for a few days.

“Master, I…” Pei Yu’s brows frowned slightly, and a fresh light appeared in her eyes. She doesn’t know why this is the case. Fortunately, she is the last disciple who asks the heart, so there is no need to worry about someone being unable to conduct the second round of trials.

When Huai Bai saw it, her heart softened again, and she said hurriedly, “It’s okay, it’s okay, we still have a dust pool to dismantle.”

“Ahem.” As soon as Ning Xiao stepped onto the questioning platform, he could not help covering his lips and coughing lightly when he heard these words.

Lingsu Peak Master said: “Okay Little Bai, you actually publicly abet the apprentice to destroy the public property of Gushan!”

Having been with Huai Bai for so many years, she has also learned a lot of trendy vocabulary.

Huangzhong Peak Master glanced at the curious disciples under the stage and waved her sleeves to lower the barrier, so that they could not observe what was happening on the stage. Only then did she approach and carefully observe the broken heart stone.

“I can’t fix it.” She sighed and concluded.

Zhuoyu Peak Master leaned in and said sadly: “I think I can rescue it again.”

Lingsu Peak Master said: “Little Bai, your apprentice is really amazing. She broke the Heavenly Stairs and the heart-questioning stone in the blink of an eye, without taking a breath.”

Huai Bai laughed a few times and guarded the child behind her, “The Gushan Trial hasn’t been changed for so many years, and it’s time for a new one.”

Ning Xiao fixedly looked at Pei Yu, and suddenly turned sideways and whispered a few words beside Huai Bai’s ear. After Huai Bai heard this, the smile on her face gradually faded.

Lingsu Peak Master asked curiously: “Head Senior Brother, what are you talking about?”

Ning Xiao shook his head, “Nothing.”

He looked at the dim questioning stone and sighed: “The next trial will be postponed to three years later.”

Pei Yu lowered her eyebrows and sighed in her heart.

She really didn’t know that just touching a rock could make it useless.

Huai Bai smiled and said, “Well, let’s go to the dust pool, there is still the last round of trials.”

Lingsu Peak Master looked sad: “At any rate, the dust pool has been set in the Gushan Mountain for thousands of years, so please let it go.”

Zhuoyu Peak Master also said, “Let it go, it’s still a child!”

Huai Bai touched the child’s head and smiled softly, “My apprentice is also a child.”

Gushan’s last round of trials was named Washing Dust.

Washing Dust is also called Cleanse Evil with Dust, which means to wash away the karma with dust.

After rolling in the water in the dust-washing pool, the person is like a new life, and all the connections in the world will be cut off.

If there are criminals who commit crimes, they will suffer in it and they will not be able to pass this level.

There are several flying rocks hanging in the sky above Gushan, and the green ponds and pine trees are on the rocks, and the colorful clouds are lingering. It is impossible to see the scenery inside.

The disciples of Feiyu Peak sent the trainees to the flying stones and let them enter the dust washing pool for the third trial, while they waited aside. If someone couldn’t hold on and ask for help, they would send them down the inner peak.

Pei Yu looked at the flying rocks like an island, her breathing couldn’t help but stagnate.

Such a world of wonderland, in her opinion, is a bit scary. In her previous life, she endured great pain when she was in Cleansing Evil with Dust. At that time, she just killed one person… But in this life, the number of people who died in her hands is hard to count.

Pei Yu lifted her lips ironically.

She has always been considered a guilty person by heaven. Perhaps in the eyes of heaven, the destiny of man is destined to be born, and he cannot resist and has to yield.

But she didn’t believe her fate.

How will it hurt this time?

After so many years, she still remembers the pain of being corroded by the pool water inch by inch.

Pei Yu clenched her hands, calmed her mind, with the child’s curiosity and longing on her face, softly asked: “Master, what do you want to do to wash the dust?”

Huai Bai said softly: “Just soak in a hot spring bath.”

Well, boiling oil for a bath.

Pei Yu thought, just hold back the pain, she did it in her previous life, and she did it in this life, so she said, “Master, shall we start?”

Huai Bai couldn’t help but smile, “Do you want to enter Gushan so much?”

Pei Yu nodded gently.

Huai Bai blew the whistle to call Da Bai, and jumped on the peacock’s back with the child in her arms.

In Gushan, Da Bai’s body size is much smaller, otherwise if it is its original size, a random collision will destroy a mountain.

Pei Yu was a little surprised to see that Da Bai was flying in a direction other than the heart washing pool, but with her current status, it was difficult to ask questions.

Da Bai flew to a valley and fell.

There is a quiet and secluded green pool in the valley, with green waves like jade in the lake, and misty smoke on it. A small spring draws water out of the lake and makes a sound.

It is surrounded by ancient trees like forests and blue rocks.

Is there a dust pool here too? Pei Yu was surprised to herself that she had been in Gushan for so long, but she didn’t know it.

“Just come and soak.” Huai Bai led her closer, and said: “The water here is not deep, it is warm all year round, and it is very comfortable.”

Pei Yu smiled helplessly.

How can a Cleansing Evil With Dust pool feel comfortable for a person like her?

Huai Bai bent down, trying to untie the child.

“Master, you…” Pei Yu covered her chest, her face was flying with the clouds, and the sound was like a mosquito: “I’ll do it myself.”

Huai Bai said, “It’s okay.” Thinking that she should be shy, she walked to the blue stone and sat down, and casually pulled a leaf to cover her eyes, “I’m not looking.”

Pei Yu slowly took off her clothes, and suddenly thought of something, and asked, “Master, have you helped the senior brother and sisters to take a bath?”

The lips under the leaves turn up slightly, “They were quite big when I picked up people, so naturally I wouldn’t be like this to them.” Huai Bai paused, and smiled: “Pei Yu, you are different from your brother and sisters.”

Pei Yu took off the last piece of clothing, and the cool breeze blew her. Her body shrank, but her face was a little burnt, and she asked in a low voice, “Why am I different from them?”

Huai Bai thought for a moment, and said seriously: “You look better than them.”

Pei Yu’s face became more blushing. She lowered her head and walked slowly towards the pool.

The turquoise water did not pass the snow-white ankles, she opened her eyes wide and yelled in a small exclamation.

Huai Bai turned around hurriedly, “What?”

The girl’s white jade-like body immediately appeared in front of her, she was shy, and the white jade was gradually stained with pink clouds.

Pei Yu recovered and plunged into the water all at once, revealing only a small head.

Huai Bai also felt a little hot on her face, and coughed a few times, “I, I didn’t mean to,” she said, her eyebrows frowned. What kind of line is this as an apprentice, “Apprentice, I have what you have, and I also don’t have what you don’t have, why are you so shy?”

Pei Yu’s ears were bloody red, and her round eyes drooped aggrievedly.

The warm breath surrounds her, and the spiritual energy slowly penetrates into her body. After a while, she feels comfortable throughout her body.

This is not a dust pool at all.

Huai Bai blinked at her, “I didn’t lie to you, it feels comfortable.”

Pei Yu’s eye sockets were a little moist.

The pool water in the previous life was like boiling oil. She gritted her teeth, her eyes turned black, but she did not dare to exhale the pain, but in this life, the pool was warm and the Master was still by her side.

What more would she seek?

… …

Zhuoyu Peak Master breathed a sigh of relief, “The dust washing pool has finally been saved.”

Lingsu Peak Master was also very excited, “It’s okay to lose the heart-questioning stone and the Heavenly Stairs, but the dust-washing pool is not good. Fortunately, Little Bai took her apprentice away. It’s gratifying.”

Huangzhong Peak Master asked: “No dust, it it fine?”

Ning Xiao nodded, “That child is different from ordinary people. It’s too difficult for her to wash the dust on her.”

Zhuoyu Peak Master asked curiously: “Why do you say that?”

Ning Xiao replied: “She is bleeding with demon blood.”

“What?!”

“Demon blood?”

Ning Xiao’s fingers curled slightly and said, “She’s mixed with human and demon blood, but the blood of demons is not strong, maybe it’s a few generations away.”

Although the Cleansing Evil with Dust pool can wash away the demon blood, it is too painful for a child.

Ning Xiao was a little grateful that he had come to walk around in person, and only the half-step cultivation base of this Gushan could see the slight difference in bleeding.

“Speaking of mixed blood between humans and demons,” Zhuoyu Peak Master’s eyes lit up, “Isn’t there one of us at the immortal gate…”

“Wenjun, speak carefully.” Huangzhong Peak Master interrupted her.

Zhuoyu Peak Master stuck out her tongue and didn’t continue.

Lingsu Peak Master nodded, and said suddenly: “The dust washing pool water and the demon blood are completely against each other. If we rashly let her go to the Cleansing Evil with Dust pool, it’s like throwing people into a pot of boiling water. Even for us, we may not be able to stand it. No wonder Little Bai didn’t let that kid go through the third trial.”

Zhuoyu Peak Master folded her hands together, “Thank the heavens, the water in the dust washing pool is finally saved!”

Huangzhong Peak Master thought of the blood mist and reminded Ning Xiao: “The matter of the disk that seeks demons can be explained.”

No one believes that a child can cause blood mist. People are more inclined to find the magic disk not working at that time, but Zhao Hengyu insists that his improved magic disk cannot be wrong. For this reason, Gushan and the Mo Sect also have a little grudge.

Ning Xiao smiled and said: “Yes. I believe the Venerable, you should also go back first.”

When the three juniors went away, he turned around, wandered through the clouds, and headed to Feiyu Peak.

Rong Changzhu still sat under the green pines, filling the glass in front of him.

Ning Xiao no longer tactfully said, “Hide the things about the Heavenly Stairs for me.”

Pei Yu’s talent is too amazing, attracting the attention of all parties is not conducive to her growth.

Rong Changzhu sighed: “Gushan has outstanding people, and geniuses are pouring out one after another. It really teaches me to be jealous.”

“Don’t Mo Sect come out in large numbers? Zhao Hengyu is unique in ghost skills, and given time, it might be a great power.”

Rong Changzhu smiled, “Don’t worry, since I am here as a friend, I will naturally use the name of my friend to keep it secret. Today, the people sitting here are not the Gushan Dao Senior and the Mo Sect Venerable, but Ning Xiao and Rong Changzhu.”

Ning Xiao drank the wine, his laughter gradually cooled down, “Changzhu, in a short while, I will retreat and shock my spirit.”

Rong Changzhu paused with his hand holding the cup, “Huh?”

“Palace Master Qianhan is already a half-step transforming god, and there are also several elders in the Zhuangzi Saints and Mo Sect who are about to break through. For the sake of Gushan, I have to step into the transforming god one step earlier.” He put down the wine glass, adding a bit of seriousness in his eyes. “I want to beg you for a promise.”

Rong Changzhu said: “Leave aside this, what are your chances of success?”

Ning Xiao stretched out his hand, “The heart demon has not been solved, and the Daoist heart is rarely completed. It is said that there are too much weight.”

“Why bother?”

“Have to do it.”

Rong Changzhu sighed again, “Forget it, I promise you that Mo Sect will not attack the people of Gushan, but you also know that the situation in the Mo Sect is complicated, and I cannot guarantee that those elders will not act secretly.”

Ning Xiao said: “It’s enough.” He patted the boulder, “Gushan is different from Mo Sect and the Zhuangzi Saints. I alone am the only one who has perfected the nascent soul, let alone also occupying the sacred beast. Ordinary men are innocent but a person’s talents will arouse the envy of others, only I can do this.”

Rong Changzhu sighed, “If there is no Shiling, you don’t have to be so embarrassed at this moment. At least, there would be Huai Bai.”

Ning Xiao lowered his eyes, bowed his head and took a sip of cold wine.

He thought, it’s a pity for Little Bai.

… …

After the child had soaked in the pool for half an hour, Huai Bai called her out.

She had prepared a brand new cloud clothes for the child to put on.

Pei Yu was wearing new clothes with flush on her face, and whispered softly, “Thank you, Master.”

Huai Bai smiled and said, “You don’t need to be so polite in the future.”

“Master, where are we going?”

Huai Bai thought for a moment, “Today you should be tired, so I will take you back to Shouxian Peak first.”

Apparently, the disciples who passed the Cleansing Evil with Dust trial would be uniformly arranged to stay at Feiyu Peak Academy, but Huai Bai had done so many special things, so she was not afraid of doing more things, and she directly excluded this option.

On the Shouxian Peak, the vegetation is lush, the branches are swaying, and a few fierce demons are on the mountain road early.

White peacock: “Da!”

Nine-tailed cat: “Meow~”

Seven-headed carp: “Guru Guru.”

Huai Bai took Pei Yu’s hand and smiled and said, “Don’t be afraid, these are my little pets.” She pointed to each one, “Da Bai, Nine Tails, A Chou.”

The seven-headed carp “guru guru” dissatisfyingly, the bubbles spit out faster, and the large bubbles that contained it turned around, reflecting the colorful rays of light in the sun.

Huai Bai stretched out her hand and pushed it aside, “Go, you are too ugly, don’t scare my apprentice.”

Seven-headed carp: “Guru Guru!”

Huai Bai explained to Pei Yu: “Cub, don’t look at it as ugly, but it can transfer a better fortune. With so many heads, one is better than seven!”

“Transfer?”

“That is, your luck will improve in the future.”

Pei Yu thought to herself that her luck was indeed much better. She didn’t have to suffer from the Cleansing Evil with Dust pool, and she could still have such a good master.

“Master, Master!” Two figures, one red and one blue, ran up the mountain road.

Pei Yu squeezed Huaibo’s hand, and thought, it would be better if no one came to grab the master from herself.

Cang Hai is somewhat similar to Rong Jibai who has white eyebrows. Both of them are young girls with bright eyes and white teeth, and a bright complexion.

Rong Jibai smiled and took Huai Bai’s other hand, and said, “Master, Senior Brother has just returned.”

Cang Hai silently followed behind, holding the corner of Rong Jibai’s clothes in her hand, and said, “He also brought back a scalper. He said it belonged to the younger sister!”

Zhen’s thoughts:

My translation progress has been behind as heck, so sorry about that. I just got a hamster and I’ve been getting ready for it the past week so I haven’t been translating as much. Finished this chapter 5 minutes before it’s supposed to be posted. :’)

Besides that, I don’t think Pei Yu ever knew she was mixed blood. Real unfortunate how despite having gone so far and became so powerful in the previous life, she still didn’t know much about herself.
