Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1618 Linjiangxian 39

The two did not have a deep conversation, but each gained something, especially Bai Jiusi. He suddenly stopped insisting on testing Li Qingyue or Hua Ruyue. After all, based on the existing clues, there must be some unsolvable misunderstanding between him and Hua Ruyue, and the culprit was probably the person behind Xiao Jingshan.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingyue was assassinated that night and accidentally entered the cold pond, almost releasing the white snake sealed in the cold pond.

If it were any other time, Bai Jiusi would have continued to test the waters, but this time, Bai Jiusi believed without hesitation that Li Qingyue had indeed entered the cold pond by mistake. This moved Li Qingyue very much, but made Fan Ling'er, the daughter of Fan Jiaojiao, who had released a shadow to assassinate Li Qingyue, even more indignant.

Back at Yuewu Courtyard, Li Qingyue held her chin with both hands and acted like a crazy fangirl towards Jiang Xinxin and Ningyan. Like Xianglin Sao, she kept repeating that Bai Jiusi believed in her and stood on her side without hesitation.

Ning Yan was very happy for Li Qingyue and was very supportive. "Madam, your sincerity can be said to have moved mountains and broken stones. In the future, the relationship between you and Xuanzun will be even stronger. Who knows, our Cang Lei Palace will soon welcome a little prince!"

Jiang Xinxin was speechless. She originally wanted to pour cold water on Bai Jiusi and say that this was what a husband should do, but she couldn't say it anymore. She could only smile and nod in agreement with Ningyan's words.

However, Jiang Xinxin discovered that many of the seals in Li Qingyue's body had been unlocked, which meant that she had recovered many of her past memories. Perhaps her current behavior was intended to paralyze Bai Jiusi. Jiang Xinxin felt that she could still use Bai Jiusi, so she pinched her nose and spoke for him:

"I've heard a lot of news recently, and I'm going to tell you all about it today so that you can be prepared—"

Li Qingyue and Ningyan both looked at Jiang Xinxin seriously, only to hear Jiang Xinxin say with a serious face, "You all know that Xiao Jingshan tried to destroy the Infinite Monument and was punished by the Xuantian Messenger to be confined to the Heavenly Punishment Platform, right?"

Ning Yan and Li Qingyue nodded in unison. Jiang Xinxin said, "I've tried to test Xiao Jingshan. While it's true that he's a mortal cultivator, the fact that he achieved enlightenment and founded a sect seems far-fetched. He must have been aided by a powerful force."

"He originally intended to seek revenge on a certain immortal monarch when he ascended to the immortal realm. Unfortunately, after his ascension, that immortal monarch had already returned to the world with his incorruptible reputation, leaving only his name on the Infinite Monument. So, he wanted to cross out the immortal monarch's name on the Infinite Monument, not to intentionally destroy it."

"But he must have changed his mind later. If his soul wasn't about to disintegrate, he might have already attacked the Infinite Monument again."

"And what I want to emphasize is that since Xiao Jingshan harbors hatred towards the gods in the heavens, then perhaps he has done more than just attack the Infinite Stele. It's just that no one has discovered his other actions yet."

Ning Yan couldn't help but be shocked: "This Xiao Xianjun is such a god today!"

Li Qingyue's face was also a little frightened, but she still spoke up for Xiao Jingshan: "It sounds like what this Xiao Xianjun did was excusable..."

Jiang Xinxin didn't comment on this, but continued, "Later, I asked Xuanzun about the great catastrophe of heaven and earth. Xuanzun said that the Four Spirits Immortals had predicted that heaven and earth would be in trouble, and it might affect the entire heaven."

Ning Yan was so frightened that she transformed back into Jianmu's original form and began to practice. Jiang Xinxin secretly set up a barrier and said to Li Qingyue, "Qingyue, I once told you that there is a seal within you. I also believe that as time passes, perhaps the seal within you is gradually being unsealed, and your memories and cultivation are gradually returning."

"I see that Xuanzun has been testing you constantly lately. Perhaps it's because something bad happened between you. Now that the bad calamity has arrived, I hope that after you recover your memory, you won't rush into settling the score. Let's get through the bad calamity first."

Li Qingyue finally stopped pretending to be "Li Qingyue" and asked directly, "Yuan Xin, why do you ask me to let it go temporarily? Can't Xuanzun let it go first?"

Jiang Xinxin hurriedly explained, "It's because you've suffered more harm, making it easier for you to settle accounts. It's true that I've bullied you. I'm a bit desperate now. After all, I have no power in the heavens, but I want to resolve a major issue."

Li Qingyue remained silent and did not feel aggrieved about being forced to consider the overall situation. However, the two of them did not expect that even with the barrier in place, Yin Tongzi still heard what Jiang Xinxin said.

The hidden boy ran out and stood on Li Qingyue's side, fighting for her: "Yuan Xin, you can't do this. You can't bully Qingyue."

Jiang Xinxin sighed. The words had already been said. Could she take them back?

Besides, although what she said did not stop Hua Ruyue from taking revenge and complaining, it did make her compromise for the sake of the overall situation in a high-sounding way. She had nothing to say.

There was no other way, Jiang Xinxin could only go to find Bai Jiusi again and ask him directly what had happened between him and Hua Ruyue.

Bai Jiusi crushed the teacup in his hand, his aura rising as he asked sternly, "Fairy Yuan Xin, you seem to know a lot about me and Ah Yue, but I, the person involved, have no recollection of it. Could you explain the situation?"

The most important thing now is to figure out how and where the source of the Heavenly Dao was lost. Jiang Xinxin no longer cared about much else and directly stated the deal between herself and the Heavenly Dao: "This is the third time I have met Ah Yue and you."

"The first time was when you first arrived in Songhe County. You lived next door to me at Qichiju. Since we were neighbors and both women were women, Ah Yue and I quickly became familiar with each other and became good friends. During our time together, I also learned that you were immortals who had come down to earth to experience tribulations."

"The second time I met Ah Yue was when she had lost her child to the plague and was being blamed for the rebellion. They tied her to a fire and wanted to burn her to death."

Jiang Xinxin shook her head in disapproval. "You're too headstrong. Although I never doubted the relationship between you and Ah Yue, you always deprive Ah Yue of the power to make decisions. Under the guise of doing things for her own good, you're practically keeping her in captivity, doing nothing."

Bai Jiusi's aura grew stronger and stronger, and the rockery in the courtyard was crushed to pieces by the surging magic power.

Jiang Xinxin found Bai Jiusi's behavior difficult to judge. "Given the deep bond between you and me the first time we met, after our second encounter, I saw you leaving Ah Yue to endure so much hardship in the mortal world. I also heard that Ah Yue had previously slain the drought dragon that was rumored to have caused years of drought in the three northwestern states. I felt that your disappearance was most likely a punishment for Ah Yue."

"So I persuaded Ah Yue to calm her resentment. She stayed in Wuju Mountain and opened a school to educate the ignorant mortals and enlighten them."
