Five Elements Sacred Secret

Chapter 271 Feng Laoshi's Request

Feng Qianqian's hands trembled as she slowly dropped the blood-stained blade in her hand. She stared blankly at the bloody and chaotic scene in front of her with wide eyes, as if she was frozen in place, unable to move at all.

Mu Xiaofeng turned around silently. He knew that he needed to give Feng Qianqian some time to digest what had happened. If she couldn't even withstand such a test, then he definitely couldn't easily teach her the precious Breaking and Building Body Refining Technique. Because that would only bring her more danger and pain.

After a long time, Feng Qianqian finally came back to her senses from her shock. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Then, she walked to Mu Xiaofeng with firm steps and said softly, "Brother Mu, let's go."

Mu Xiaofeng nodded slightly to show his agreement. He understood that Feng Qianqian had already made her choice and that she would have to face the rest of the road by herself. This was also a test and tempering for her.

So Mu Xiaofeng found two horses and climbed on them. Then, he stretched out his hand to Feng Qianqian behind him, signaling her to follow.

The two rode side by side, going farther and farther in the direction they came from. The setting sun was like blood, shining on their backs, lengthening their figures. In this afterglow, they seemed so small but so strong.

"Qianqian, how do you feel?" Mu Xiaofeng looked at the lonely girl in front of him and asked with some concern in his heart.

Feng Qianqian raised her head slightly, looked into the distance with confused eyes, and murmured to herself: "I don't know why, Brother Mu, although I finally got my revenge, I don't feel the slightest joy in my heart... Instead, I feel empty, as if I lost something important."

Mu Xiaofeng nodded silently. He understood Feng Qianqian's complex and contradictory feelings at the moment. After all, she was just a child who had not experienced much of the world. After experiencing such a cruel and bloody thing, she would inevitably feel confused and uneasy. However, it was precisely because of this kindness and innocence, coupled with her decisiveness in killing, that she was able to practice the Breaking and Building Body Refining Technique.

After a moment's silence, Feng Qianqian suddenly turned around, looked at Mu Xiaofeng with a firm gaze and said, "Brother Mu, please promise me one thing? Don't tell my father about this." After saying that, she bit her lips tightly, as if trying to restrain her inner fear and anxiety.

Mu Xiaofeng frowned and thought for a moment before answering, "Qianqian, if you really intend to embark on the path of martial arts and pursue a higher realm, then being honest with your father and discussing future plans together is a crucial step. Hiding the truth may temporarily avoid trouble, but it is definitely not a long-term solution!"

Mu Xiaofeng is well aware that the interests involved, if not handled properly, may lead to a greater crisis or even cause a rift between father and daughter. Moreover, after this separation, the date of return is uncertain and they may never meet again. How can he let Feng Qianqian face the unknown risks alone?

Hearing this, Feng Qianqian lowered her head in thought, then slowly raised her head and said, "Thank you, Brother Mu, for reminding me. I will seriously consider this matter and make the most appropriate choice." There was a maturity and stability in her words, which was very gratifying.

When Mu Xiaofeng returned to Feng Laoshi's residence, Feng Laoshi had already prepared the meal. Apparently, the others who had returned had already informed Feng Laoshi that they were safe.

Feng Laoshi looked at Mu Xiaofeng meaningfully.

After the meal, Feng Laoshi took the initiative to say, "Brother Mu, can we talk for a moment?"

Mu Xiaofeng looked at Feng Laoshi with some surprise, but still nodded and said, "Okay."

Feng Laoshi brought Mu Xiaofeng to the small courtyard outside the house.

"Brother Mu, I can see that you are not an ordinary person." After the two men sat down, Feng Laoshi took the initiative to speak.

"Uncle Feng, you're too polite." Mu Xiaofeng replied, thinking that Feng Laoshi said this only because he saw that he was able to save the people from the bandits.

Feng Laoshi waved his hand and said, "The leader of the bandits is no ordinary man. Brother Mu, there is no need to be modest."

Seeing that Mu Xiaofeng wanted to explain, Feng Laoshi quickly continued, "If, I mean if Qianqian wants to go that route, please ask Brother Mu to take care of her on my behalf."

Mu Xiaofeng now suddenly understood Feng Laoshi's true intention.

"Uncle Feng has no objection?" Mu Xiaofeng asked.

"She has her own way. Let her go whichever way she wants." At this time, Feng Laoshi looked around the room again, and when he didn't see Feng Qianqian, he spoke again.

"Qianqian's mother is actually not an ordinary person, so Qianqian's own bloodline is also extraordinary. It was within my expectation that she wanted to take this path, but I thought she would never have the chance to get out again in this lifetime." Feng Laoshi explained.

Mu Xiaofeng did not ask about Feng Qianqian's mother, but just asked: "I don't know, why does Uncle Feng feel that he can go out now? Or do you think I can definitely take her out?"

"It's my intuition. I feel that you are not a simple person." Feng Laoshi looked at Mu Xiaofeng meaningfully and said.

Mu Xiaofeng looked at Feng Laoshi's appearance, which was nothing like his previous honest and simple appearance.

"Okay, Qianqian saved my life, so I agree to this." Mu Xiaofeng said. Mu Xiaofeng even thought that Feng Qianqian's performance might also be related to Feng Laoshi's usual training.

Hearing this, Feng Laoshi stood up and said, "Thank you, Brother Mu."

"It's okay." Mu Xiaofeng said.

The two chatted for a while. Mu Xiaofeng originally wanted to ask about the Xingyu Realm, but when he thought that it was also Feng Laoshi's sad place, he thought about it and decided not to speak.

There is nothing you can't understand after you get out.

Mu Xiaofeng lay down at night and began to meditate on the Five Elements Sacred Secret.

This was the first time that Mu Xiaofeng had started to meditate on the Five Elements Sacred Art since he was injured. At first, it was because he didn't have time, and he couldn't accept that his cultivation had been wasted. But after living here for such a long time, Mu Xiaofeng felt that his state of mind had calmed down a lot, and he no longer had those concerns about cultivation.

Who would have thought that as soon as Mu Xiaofeng started to meditate, his meridians began to ache violently, as if the spiritual energy was running wildly in his meridians. Mu Xiaofeng immediately stopped meditating.

Mu Xiaofeng was shocked. Could it be that one could still practice here? This didn’t make sense. If one could practice, those exiled here would definitely practice as well. Then the structure of this small world would definitely not be like this now.

There was another thing that made Mu Xiaofeng very strange. Logically speaking, there should be no spiritual energy in his meridians. His Nascent Soul was destroyed. Without the Nascent Soul to absorb spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in his meridians would be lost quickly like rootless water. However, the pain he felt just now was very obvious, and he could not have been wrong.

It’s a pity that I can’t use my spiritual sense, otherwise I would know the reason with just a scan.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaofeng immediately scolded himself for being so stupid. It had been so long since he remembered the Five Elements Chaos Pearl. Because he had no spiritual consciousness when he came here, he had forgotten about the Five Elements Chaos Pearl. When he entered the passage, he thought he was going to die, and he had never thought about entering the Five Elements Chaos Pearl. Later, he was completely disappointed. He only remembered it now. How stupid.

As his mind turned, Mu Xiaofeng directly came into the Five Elements Chaos Pearl.
