Chapter 3495: Martial Aunt (12)

Generally speaking, when two people with spirit roots had children, there was a higher probability that their offspring would also possess spirit roots.

“My father loved researching these strange and ancient things. He always said there was treasure inside,” Ye Heyu said.

When things were this abnormal, there was bound to be a demon afoot. Perhaps there really was a treasure.

The little girl woke up after taking the detoxification pill. Her face was deathly pale and she was painfully thin.

Her eyes were dull as Ye Heyu gave her some water to drink.

“Little sister, Master saved you. Call her Master,” Ye Heyu said quickly as he helped his sister up. “Master, could you please see if Meiyu can cultivate?”

Ning Shu looked at him askance.

“Let your sister rest and recover first.” Ning Shu took out some medicine. “Give this to her.”

The siblings’ names were well-matched—one was Heyu, meaning ‘peaceful jade,’ and the other was Meiyu, meaning ‘beautiful jade.’

“Master, could you please check if my sister has a spirit root?” If she did, that would be for the best. That way, he would never have to be separated from her.

Ning Shu took out the magic tool. “Let us try.”

“Place your hand on this.”

Ye Heyu placed his sister’s hand on the device. Ning Shu took a look. “She has spirit roots, but they are mixed. She has all five elements.”

“As long as she has spirit roots, it is fine. As long as she has them!” Ye Heyu rubbed his hands together in excitement.

“Please accept my sister as your disciple, Master. We are alone in this world, and we will surely treat you like our own mother and serve at your side.” Ye Heyu kowtowed to Ning Shu.

Ning Shu reached out and patted Ye Heyu on the shoulder. “Your tongue is certainly smooth. A scholar is indeed different from the rest.”

“Everything I say comes from the heart,” Ye Heyu said with total sincerity.

“Taking a disciple is not something to be done so casually, and the path of cultivation is not an easy one. We will discuss the matter of discipleship later.”

Ning Shu waved her hand and took out a communication device to send a message to her sect.

Since she did not have the ability to handle this situation alone, she would call upon the strength of the entire sect.

While waiting for the people from the sect to arrive, Ning Shu taught the siblings how to draw spiritual energy into their bodies.

During this time, she returned to Jianzhan Peak several times to see if she could find anything unusual.

She studied it for a long time but discovered nothing.

Ning Shu began to wonder if she had just been seeing things before and if it really was just an ordinary mountain.

But if it were truly ordinary, why couldn’t she break it?

Furthermore, the fact that it could swallow up her spiritual energy and spiritual consciousness were proved that it was no ordinary object.

Ning Shu kicked the stone wall, resulting in a distinct crack from her leg bone, but she kept a perfectly straight face in front of Ye Heyu.

Ye Heyu asked, “Master, do you also believe there is a treasure inside?”

Ning Shu maintained her serious expression and gave her leg a subtle shake. “Of course there is.”

She had used every method at her disposal and couldn’t leave a scratch on the mountain. She even focused her energy into her inner core, trying to lift the entire mountain, but she tried so hard she nearly let out a fart and still achieved nothing.

Cultivators were supposed to be able to split mountains and move seas. Here she was, unable to even budge a single peak. It was embarrassing.

Ye Heyu: …

“Master, how about we just go back?” Ye Heyu suggested. “Why bother competing with a mountain? If there is no way, there is simply no way.”

Ning Shu grabbed Ye Heyu by the collar, swung him behind her, and flew off on her sword.

Ye Meiyu was feeling much better. She was standing at the door watching for them, and she let out a cry of wonder when she saw them flying through the air.

Ning Shu landed steadily.

“Brother! Master!” Meiyu was quite obedient. If her brother told her to call her Master, she called her Master.

Ning Shu put her sword away and spoke to the two of them. “You both need to hurry and learn how to draw spiritual energy into your bodies. Zisha Island will be sending people soon. It would be good to have a bit of strength so you can follow along and pick up some good things.”

“Thank you, Master,” Ye Heyu said immediately with a bow.

Recruiting a talent for Zisha Island was not a bad thing. Even though Ye Heyu was a scholar, he wasn’t a dull one.

Ning Shu beckoned to Ye Meiyu. “Your aptitude cannot compare to your brother’s, so I will teach you a different secret manual.”

The Unsurpassable Martial Arts was not as picky about aptitude or spirit roots as standard cultivation was.

Ye Meiyu looked at her brother, and Ye Heyu nodded immediately.

“Thank you, Master,” Meiyu whispered.

Ning Shu guided the two children in their practice and then settled down to cultivate herself.

Lately, she hadn’t been taking any heart-calming pills, yet the resentment in her heart seemed to have vanished.

She didn’t think it was truly gone, as her Dao heart had not been mended, but she simply didn’t have the time to think about those things. Her mood was relatively peaceful.

After waiting for more than ten days, the reinforcements from Zisha Island finally arrived.

Ning Shu was waiting at the door when she saw Qi Cheng—and he had brought his disciple with him.

Ning Shu felt a headache coming on.

Were the other people at Zisha Island doing this on purpose? Why did they have to send Qi Cheng?

Qi Cheng slowly descended from his flying sword and cupped his hands toward Ning Shu. “Junior Sister, the sect leader sent me to investigate the situation here.”

Ning Shu returned the gesture. “Understood.”

“This is Elder Qi. Hurry, pay your respects,” Ning Shu said to the two children behind her.

“Elder Qi.” The two children were obedient and did exactly as they were told.

“Junior Sister, these two children?” Qi Cheng asked with a raised eyebrow.

Ning Shu smiled. “Both of these children have spirit roots.”

Qi Cheng nodded and took out two magic artifacts. “This is a peacock feather, which is suitable for a girl, and this is a red silk soft vine spear.”

“Accept them. These are meeting gifts from your martial uncle,” Ning Shu told the children with a smile.

From beginning to end, Ning Shu completely ignored Yi Youxuan, who was standing beside Qi Cheng.

I can’t afford to provoke you, so I’ll just ignore you.

Qi Cheng took the initiative to introduce his disciple. “This is Yi Youxuan. She is your senior sister. You should get along well from now on.”

“Senior Sister,” the children greeted. Yi Youxuan gave a cold hum in response, appearing quite haughty.

Ye Heyu was fine, but Ye Meiyu seemed rather constrained. The other girl was dazzling and radiant, while she was wearing tattered clothes. Such a contrast made the young girl feel sensitive and prone to comparison.

“Senior Brother, let me tell you about the specific situation.” Ning Shu led them into the hut. The interior was not elegant. Yi Youxuan frowned, but she didn’t say anything. She simply took a cushion out of her storage and placed it on the stool before sitting down.

Ning Shu rolled her eyes and explained the details to Qi Cheng. He thought for a moment. “So you believe there is something inside Jianzhan Peak?”

“It is just because a raw soul entered it. Ghosts sometimes look for places to reside. Perhaps that mountain is just a place where spirits gather,” Yi Youxuan said indifferently.

“I am speaking to your master. Why are you butting in?” Ning Shu snapped.

“You are nothing more than a sore loser who thinks she has found some treasure just to prove she is capable,” Yi Youxuan said, looking at Ning Shu as if she were a clown jumping up and down. “Jiang Xueci, I could defeat you once, and I can defeat you a second time.”
