All good things will eventually disappear.

Three days later, Shenhe built a thunder pool. From then on, the word “comfort” disappeared from Ye Hong’s life.

The Thunder Pool is a place for training composed of hundreds of thunder talismans and heavy water. Its purpose is to help him temper his body through thunder and strengthen his flesh.

After experiencing it once, Ye Hong felt as if a layer of skin had been peeled off. He coughed violently a few times and collapsed to the ground gasping for breath.

After a while, he managed to say to Shen He: “Grandmaster, this method is feasible.”

Shen He stood there silently, without making any comment, his eyes and brows revealing a dignified and majestic beauty.

Then, Ye Hong pleaded, “There is one more thing that I need to report to the master in advance. After I reach my limit, I am afraid I will turn into a dragon…”

The implication was to remind her to make preparations early.

Shen He glanced at him with her cold eyes, and understood what he was referring to. She replied expressionlessly, “Yes.”

After that, Ye Hong began his inhumane journey of body training.

……

Shen He only guarded in front of the thunder pool on the first day. After everything was on track, she no longer showed up and handed the responsibility over to Qing Yi.

So, she sat quietly in front of the minefield, watching the little thief tormenting her back and forth, making her look half dead, and her mentality gradually changed.

I couldn’t say I hated him that much in the first place, and now I don’t hate him that much either. I’d let him suffer a little so he can learn a lesson, but how could I bear to see him almost putting himself in a desperate situation?

This feeling was very subtle. After all, he was her disciple. Even if he was disobedient, he was still the first disciple she accepted.

Qingyi stared at him for a long time, often feeling sorry for him. Then she suddenly realized that she didn’t know since when the situation between her and him had come to this point. Maybe she had already given in to him a long time ago. She was confused for a moment.

I watched him faint and wake up for who knows how many times. Sometimes the dragon spirit would protect its master or even possess him directly and attack with all its might to break the restriction.

Listening to those earth-shaking roars, Qingyi’s blood and energy could hardly calm down. Sometimes she even felt hot all over, but mostly she felt sad. She couldn’t bear to hurt him, but she had to hurt him. She waved her scabbard and pushed him back into the forbidden area again and again when he lost control. In the end, he couldn’t cross the line.

Isn’t this cruel to her?

Qingyi’s face changed. She wasn’t sure whether her mother had the same mentality at the beginning, but it didn’t matter anymore.

……

Every time the training was over, she would pick him up from the pool, soaking wet.

Ye Hong also changed his usual playful look, and his expression became increasingly tired and silent. The two of them just remained silent, wanting to comfort each other but not knowing how to start.

After a while, he said weakly, “Ha, Master, you look good today.” There was an unconscious hint of teasing in his tone.

“Shut that mouth of yours!”

He felt a little aggrieved, “Oh…”

Qingyi actually wanted to ask him why he pushed her like this, but she could almost guess how he would answer.

He would say, “Because I want to drive my opponent to death.”

On the other hand, Ye Wanqing saw the changes in her son’s expression these days and felt pain in her heart, but she didn’t say anything.

Seeing this, Xiao Zi became more and more upset. She couldn’t tell why she was angry, but there was just a surge of anger in her heart.

The main reason is Ye Hong’s current condition, which makes them feel a little sad.

Yu’er was very sympathetic to him and would often nourish him, letting him hold her body and suck it hard, feasting on her to his heart’s content, causing her to hum and call him a bad boy.

Only the two ancestors, Chenyu and Shenhe, were sitting on the Diaoyutai, and they rarely acted on impulse or emotion. Because they knew that reality did not allow them to act on emotion, and many times, in their position, if they were soft-hearted, it would most likely cause harm to the sect.

In their opinion, Ye Hong’s current situation is actually stable and improving. At least he is not doing useless work. What he needs now is persistence – to succeed in hard practice, he must stick to it to the end and never give up until he dies. There is no other way.

……

On this day, Qingyi finally found her mother Shenhe.

No one expected that she would be the first one to give up and want to stop this farce.

She seemed a little nervous in front of her mother, but she still held on, maintaining an expressionless and cold face. She bent down and knelt to salute, and then seemed to ask: “Mother, do you think he can succeed? Why are you helping him with all your strength…” It was as if she was saying, do you know that you are going to kill him!

Qingyi felt that her mother was always like this, and seemed to have never changed. She always appeared in a high position among adults, ordering the children what to do and what not to do. In the name of cultivation, she did things that hurt the children.

At this moment, she was not only trying to get an explanation for Ye Hong, but also for her past self.

Shen He didn’t even raise his eyelids and said coldly: “Because he is better than you!”

Qingyi bit her lip, suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart, and took a deep breath, “He will die!”

Shen He turned his head to look at his daughter, narrowed his eyes, and a hint of mockery flashed across his gaze, “Is this important to you?”

“…What?” Qingyi was stunned for a moment.

“Forget it.” Shen He looked at her daughter calmly, “There is no point in saying more.”

“You have also read “The Secret of Thunder Movement in the World”. You may want to try some things yourself!”

While she was speaking, she suddenly flipped her hand and took out a thunder talisman. With a flick of her finger, wind and thunder arrived. The lightning turned into a thunder dragon and rushed towards Qingyi. The latter gritted her teeth, her face calm, and she did not dodge or evade, and took the blow head-on.

Just like before, even though she remembered the general principles of the Thunder Method and the route of the technique, she did not successfully temper her body as described in the technique because she did not have a thunder spiritual root.

After a moment, Shen He’s brows relaxed slightly, and he said in a gentle voice, “If you can’t do it, then neither can I.”

“In fact, he couldn’t do it at first, but that evil beast could.”

After the dragon experienced the catastrophe, although its body died and its soul disappeared, the rhythm of wind and thunder between heaven and earth was already on it.

“This is his chance.”

Only then did Qingyi realize that her mother’s attitude was different from before. In the past, her mother had never been so aggressive. When faced with a question, she would usually answer it with just a few words, as if she would be tired if she said one more word to her. But today, she rarely spoke and explained so much.

She exhaled softly, but did it matter? It didn’t matter anymore. She was no longer a child and no longer longed for her mother’s care and concern, but the relationship between the two was eternal.

Chapter 149 Destined by Heaven

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the day of the final of the Hua Sect’s inner sect competition.

It has become a normal practice for disciples of the immortal sect to compete with each other and the more capable ones to prevail. During the period when Ye Hong was practicing hard, the previous chief Liu Ruochen, with his clear and outstanding demeanor, defeated all opponents in his way and vowed to defend his position as the chief.

On the ring, both sides took their positions, saluted each other, and the battle was about to begin.

The opponent standing opposite Liu Ruochen had an outstanding appearance. She wore a red long skirt and had her hair tied up in a bun that formed two “rabbit ears”.

This fairy happened to be an acquaintance as well. She was the disciple of the two elders Xie Chunlin and Xie Fanghua, and the “Senior Sister Ni Ni” who had gone to Xuanhuo Gate with Ye Hong last time. Her real name was Li Yuning.

Her parents were both monks. Her father was a swordsman in Baohuang Pavilion and taught his daughter a few moves when she was young. So in terms of swordsmanship, it can be said that she has a family tradition of learning swordsmanship.

After joining the Hua Sect, Senior Sister Yuning has been practicing diligently and making continuous progress, becoming one of the strong contenders for the position of the Hua Sect’s leader.

In the first row of the spectator seats sat Sect Master Li Yunshang and the elders, but everyone was somewhat absent-minded and was no longer talking about the sect’s chief candidate.

Just yesterday, another founding elder who had been in seclusion successfully broke out, and he became Ding Qionghua, the ancestor of the Qifeng Mountain lineage.

In this way, with two top-level masters in charge, the status of Hua Zong also rises and becomes as solid as a rock.

Now this great guru is on Lotus Mountain.

……

Chenyu, Shenhe and Qionghua stood side by side, like three celestial maidens.

The appearance of Master Qionghua is top-notch, with a high nose, beautiful lips, and a clean and neat profile. Although his skin color is slightly dark, it cannot hide his beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament.

Snow-white beauties all look the same, but dark-skinned beauties are very rare. The short brown dress with narrow sleeves that is convenient for movement also makes her look heroic when she wears it.

Among the sisters in the past, Chenyu and Shenhe had the best relationship, which was unmatched; and Qionghua and Chenyu had similar personalities, both possessing a gentle and easy-going temper, so the relationship between the two was also very good.

The three of them met here because of the wish of Master Chenyu.

This is a long story. After Qionghua came out of seclusion yesterday, she had already met Wanqing.

At that time, Qionghua said nothing and just looked at her for a long time, without hiding or avoiding.

What made the latter even more curious was that the eyes of this uncle whom he had never met were gentle and sad.

When Ye Wanqing looked back at her, she found that this look was like a thin thread, penetrating into her heart and making her heart soften.

After watching for a long time, she even saw love and pity in it.

It’s not an exaggeration at all. It’s the kind of love and compassion a mother has for her suffering child, or a sister has for her wronged sister.

As a result, Wanqing’s eyes became confused and uneasy, so Qionghua withdrew her gaze and no longer looked at her.

Similar to the views of the two sisters, Qionghua also felt that Wanqing was very likely Lianhe. After all, her progress in practicing the Lotus Sutra was so rapid, who else could it be except her?

But Lian He cut off her own spiritual fruit from her previous life and returned from the fairyland with her son. It can be said that they are two completely different people, which makes it difficult for Chen Yu and others to completely equate them.

As the son of Lian He, Ye Hong was also given the greatest kindness and support by them. It could even be said that as long as the request was reasonable and not excessive, it would be met.

But he himself doesn’t know this yet.

Qionghua’s bright eyes stared at Ye Hong who was soaking in the thunder pool not far away, and began this “expert consultation”.

Speaking of which, in ancient times, the big lake was actually called “Longgan Lake” and also had another name called “Da Lei Shui”. A real dragon once left a legend of swallowing thunder here.

Naturally, all three of them knew about this, but as to whether the legend was true or not, they had no way of knowing.

It is difficult for several people to come to a definite conclusion on whether a mere false dragon or fake dragon can control lightning for its own use.

At this moment, the top cultivator who has almost cultivated to the extreme now feels helpless.

This feeling of powerlessness is extremely painful, because not only can the problem not be solved, but even the worldview is challenged and subverted.

Qionghua examined the patient very quickly. After just a glance, she slowly withdrew her gaze from Ye Hong and frowned slightly. She had seen it clearly just now and spoke directly at this moment.

“Yu’er, the child is ignorant, are you two ignorant too?”

“His internal organs are severely damaged. If we are not careful, I am afraid he will become a cripple!”

Shen He explained calmly, “We have prepared for the worst.”

Even if things develop to the worst possible situation, there is always a way to save it.

Qionghua disagreed with this argument, “That won’t work either!”

At the side, Chen Yu did not beat around the bush and said with a forced smile: “Hua Hua, he is not from this world, but from the complete fairy world. Master is willing to become a mortal and do everything to bring him back. There must be a deep meaning behind this!”

“Can you understand what Master did? Probably not. I can’t either. If we can’t understand, then it’s best not to interfere. It’s better to let nature take its course and let the fruits of its labor take their course.”

“Oh, never mind.” Qionghua sighed lightly and said nothing more.
