Chapter 107 The Cannon Fodder Sister of the Xianxia Master-Disciple Story 16
"The tribulation of life and death is the greatest tribulation for those who ascend. When a person reaches a bottleneck in their cultivation, their corresponding tribulation will also be born. The two sides will fight to the death until one side is completely destroyed. Ten years ago, my master predicted that my path to immortality would be cut off because of this tribulation, so he ordered me to eliminate the other party."
Ouyang Qing said this, looking gently at Nangong Yan, and cruelly recounted the incident of the village's annihilation. "A few years ago, the head brother saw that my cultivation was not improving, and he urged me to solve this matter. So I..."
Tears welled up in Nangong Yan's eyes. Now that things had come to this, it was clear that her beloved master was the murderer who had destroyed the village. However, her love-sick mind was wondering who would be the master's calamity, herself or her sister.
"Master, do you know now which of us two sisters is your calamity?"
Ouyang Qing smiled and he knew that Yan'er had him in her heart and had no intention of blaming her or killing her.
He took out the box containing the Linglong Stone from his Qiankun bag, placed it in front of Nangong Yan, and motioned her to open it.
Nangong Yan obediently opened the box. The exquisite stone inside was emitting a faint light, so she immediately covered it.
She wanted to have a bond with her master, but she was also afraid that she would hinder her master's path to immortality. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, it was a different feeling. After she destroyed Li Village, her master let her go. In her heart...
Nangong Yan finally shed tears and hugged Ouyang Qing with emotion, "Master, if you knew my true identity long ago, why didn't you kill me?"
"I can't bear to let you go. I liked you so much the first time I saw you, so if I have to kill someone, I don't want it to be you." Ouyang Qing gently touched her head and waited until she calmed down before continuing, "There's still one day before the secret realm opens. I plan to send the exquisite stone over in your name tomorrow to see if she will also... If Su Lan dies at my hands, will you, Yan'er..."
"No, Master, it is her honor to have the opportunity to help you ascend."
Ouyang Qing was very satisfied with this girl whose heart and eyes were filled with him.
After Su Lan finished gathering with her senior brothers and sisters, she said hello to her senior sister and went to sleep. Actually, she returned to the system space. Jin Ling said he wanted to show her something fun, and those disgusting words almost made Su Lan vomit what she had just eaten.
Su Lan had previously preconceived the idea of the life-or-death calamity as a painful part of the love story between the male and female protagonists. However, in the previous life's plot, after the original owner was killed by Ouyang Qing, their cultivation levels improved rapidly, and within a hundred years, they both ascended to heaven, becoming a legend in this world.
Could it be that the original owner was the calamity? Su Lan didn't believe that a cannon fodder in the heroine's growth could have a connection with the hero.
Everything will have to wait for Ouyang Qing's test tomorrow. Now Su Lan can protect herself even without using her own strength, so she is not afraid.
The next day, when the four brothers were having breakfast, they saw Ouyang Qing wearing a mask. He was holding a box in his hand and said it was a gift from Nangong Yan to Su Lan.
Su Lan calmly accepted the exquisite wooden box and gently opened the lid. However, surprisingly, the exquisite stone inside the box didn't react as it had before. She simply praised it casually and put it into her Qiankun bag.
Then, she took out a medium-grade spirit stone and handed it to Ouyang Qing, expressing her gratitude for delivering it personally, and said jokingly with a smile: "You've made this trip hard, this little thing can be considered a thank you gift!" These words made everyone around them feel a sense of obvious sarcasm.
Ouyang Qing wore a mask, but his slightly trembling body revealed that he was filled with anger and resentment. He resisted the urge to strike, exchanged a few words with the others, and then hurried away.
Meanwhile, in Su Lan's personal space, the original owner looked at the exquisite stone that Su Lan had sent her through the Qiankun bag, and tears could not help but flow. She was filled with resentment towards the stone, believing that it was because of it that her entire village died.
Meanwhile, Su Lan returned to the system space under the pretext of exploring the internal situation of Luoxia Mountain. As soon as she entered the space, she immediately began to carefully study the plot.
After some in-depth analysis, she finally discovered the key. It turned out that in their previous lives, when they ascended to heaven, they had said something shameless: "Love can resolve all calamities." Thinking about it now, this statement was truly speechless.
The solution to the life-and-death calamity is actually the love between the two parties, and their love has to be paved with the sacrifice of more than 300 people in Li Village. This kind of plot setting for the sake of abuse, forced the love story that could have developed well to become the background of the protagonist's opposition, just to create more contradictions and conflicts.
After figuring it out, Su Lan hated the two people's expressions even more. In her previous life, she had killed the original owner under such circumstances.
When Nangong Yan learned that Su Lan was not Ouyang Qing's calamity, she looked worried, but in her heart she was glad that she was her master's only one.
This led Ouyang Qing to make sweet promises to her and comfort her, which made Nangong Yan happy.
The secret realm opened the next afternoon. After Su Lan and his brothers and sisters entered together, they suggested that they search separately. Now that Su Lan's strength was above everyone else, they didn't have to worry about Su Lan being targeted, so they agreed.
After seeing them off, Su Lan put on a mask and turned back into the boy he was two years ago. He put an invisibility talisman on himself and headed towards the two male protagonists.
After determining the direction they were heading, Su Lan went ahead to search. He took all the spiritual plants and weapons, and left any dangerous spiritual beasts for the two of them to fight. He followed them all the way to a pond.
The master and disciple were both in a rather miserable state, but they didn't gain any benefit at all.
Nangong Yan angrily picked up a stone on the ground and threw it into the pool, while accusing the owner of the secret realm of being so poor.
"Humph! The owner of this secret realm must be very poor. We have been walking for so long and have gained nothing."
However, she did not notice that a golden light rose from the pool behind her, and a column of water emerged from the pool, and a white jade bottle could be vaguely seen inside.
Ouyang Qing was extremely surprised and told Nangong Yan to look back quickly. "Yan'er, look quickly. I have a feeling this is the Qianling Pill we're looking for."
Nangong Yan's mood also turned from cloudy to sunny. She wanted to go over and get it, but suddenly a big wave appeared behind the water column, and a dragon covered in black energy appeared. It was the guardian beast of Qianling Pill.
"Roar--"
The dragon roared, shaking the surrounding trees.
Nangong Yan and Ouyang Qing's faces changed drastically. They knew they had encountered a powerful opponent.
"Master, what should I do?"
"Don't be afraid, we will deal with it together."
The master and disciple joined forces to attack the dragon, but the dragon was too strong and easily avoided their attacks.
The enraged black dragon opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a stream of scorching flames. It locked onto the weaker Nangong Yan and spit two huge fireballs at her.
Nangong Yan looked at the huge fireball in front of her in horror. Her legs were weak and she could hardly move. She could only instinctively shout in the direction of Ouyang Qing: "Help me!"
Ouyang Qing reacted immediately upon hearing the cry for help. He swung his immortal sword, and a sharp sword energy whistled out, accurately striking the two fireballs and slicing them in half. Then, he flashed and instantly appeared beside Nangong Yan, hugged her, and quickly left the battlefield with her.
After Ouyang Qing brought Nangong Yan to a safe area, he gently put her down and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Then, he turned around and rushed towards the black dragon with his sword, ready to start a fierce battle with it.
At this time, Su Lan was hiding in a tree a hundred meters away, eating spiritual fruits. She was waiting for the time when the man and the beast were both injured before she could take advantage of the situation. Otherwise, even if she went over to get the elixir in stealth, she would be discovered and beaten away by the dragon.
