Chapter 369: Spreading Rumors
Caro Xianle said a few flattering words before joining his younger brother, Caro Xianyang, to summon everyone to board the aircraft and prepare to set off for the Caro Clan.
During the boarding process, Kong Qing remained silent.
When they arrived at the aircraft, there was also good wine and delicacies for everyone to enjoy.
Lin Jiansheng was sitting at a wine table and chatting with a few old friends.
“Saint Ling Xiao, I heard that you were the first to discover Prime Master Fu Tian’s burial ground. How did you discover it?” They had finally caught Lin Jiansheng, so they naturally couldn’t bear to let him off.
Lin Jiansheng said, “Isn’t that disciple of mine a Dual Cultivator? I brought her to the Broken Cliff to train some time ago and accidentally discovered that the grievous energy in the north of Broken Cliff is thinner than in other places. I felt that there was something amiss, so I used my psychic power to investigate and found that there was a dead soul with deep grievous energy hidden underground.”
“I couldn’t deal with that power alone at all, so I invited the Grand State Master to help investigate the situation. Only then did we uncover the truth of Prime Master Fu Tian’s death.”
“Whoa!” Everyone exclaimed after knowing the cause. “In Saint Ling Xiao’s opinion, how did Prime Master Fu Tian die?”
Before Lin Jiansheng could speak, someone else said, “I heard that after Prime Master Fu Tian died, his corpse was dismembered into eight pieces. Every corpse was covered in Soul Suppressing Talismans. Someone is trying to nurture Prime Master Fu Tian into a Prime Master level malicious ghost! Isn’t that right, Saint Ling Xiao?”
Lin Jiansheng was speechless.
The rumors were ridiculous.
“It’s just a rumor. There’s no such thing. Prime Master Fu Tian was made into amber and locked deep underground.”
Upon hearing Lin Jiansheng’s clarification, everyone realized that the rumors were fake. “I see. Sigh, there are so many strange things these days.”
“Speaking of strange things…” Lin Jiansheng twirled the wine glass in his hand. He seemed to have thought of something terrifying and put on a hesitant expression.
Seeing this, someone urged him, “What else is it? Saint Ling Xiao, hurry up and say it.”
Everyone loved gossip, and the Beast Tamers were no exception.
Lin Jiansheng rubbed his arms in fear and said, “Didn’t a mystic realm appear near Kui Mountain more than a hundred years ago? After investigation, we discovered that the mystic realm was actually the lair of Purifying Spirit Grand Master Su Tingxue.”
Hearing this, the older Beast Tamer carefully recalled and remembered that there was indeed such a thing. “There is such a thing. What happened?”
Lin Jiansheng continued, “That time, I went to the mystic realm with the Prime Master and accidentally obtained the cultivation technique inheritance of a Purifying Spirit Grand Master.”
Upon hearing this, someone said, “I heard that the Purifying Spirit Grand Master Su Tingxue created a destructive cultivation technique that can destroy the body and soul. It’s an extremely powerful cultivation technique. Could it be that you obtained that kind of inheritance?”
“That’s right. But that’s not what I want to say.” Lin Jiansheng took a sip of the strong wine and said with a frown, “I don’t know what’s going on. Recently, I’ve been hearing a woman crying. She said that she died unjustly and that she was framed. There’s a mysterious power guiding me to Kui Mountain.”
Lin Jiansheng smacked his lips. His gaze swept across the faces of the Beast Tamers at the table before he said, “Do you think that the Purifying Spirit Grand Master died unjustly and is summoning me to Kui Mountain to help her investigate the truth?”
No one dared to gossip about a Purifying Spirit Grand Master. For a moment, no one replied.
At this moment, Lin Jiansheng’s robe was suddenly pulled by someone.
Lin Jiansheng lowered his head and realized that it was Kong Qing. He hugged Kong Qing and said to the Beast Tamers, like he was showing off, “This is my child, Lin Kongqing.”
Hearing Lin Jiansheng personally admit that Kong Qing was his son, “Search new n0vel. org on google” everyone laughed and congratulated him.
“Congratulations to Saint Ling Xiao!”
“This child looks like his father.”
“You look so smart. When you grow up, you’ll definitely be an outstanding young man.”
Although everyone said that, they felt gossipy inside—
“So the rumors are true. Lin Jiansheng really had a one-night stand with a commoner woman and had a child!”
“Lin Jiansheng has really become a father overnight!”
Kong Qing laid in Lin Jiansheng’s arms and said gloomily, “Daddy, I’m not in a good mood.”
This child was in a bad mood every few days.
He was in a bad mood when he couldn’t eat his fill. He was in a bad mood when he couldn’t sleep well. He was also in a bad mood when he had nothing to do.
However, Lin Jiansheng was a man who doted on his child. When he heard Kong Qing say that he was in a bad mood, Lin Jiansheng carried him and stood up. He said to his friends, “Continue drinking. I’ll bring the child out to play.”
“Okay.”
Lin Jiansheng carried Kong Qing to the window of the aircraft. He let Kong Qing sit on his arm so that he could see the blue sea below and the blue sky above.
It was clearly a beautiful scenery, but Kong Qing wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it.
“Why are you so gloomy? Isn’t this place fun?” Kong Qing had been under the Broken Cliff for hundreds of years. When he first came out with Lin Jiansheng, everything he saw was fresh.
The first time he followed Lin Jiansheng to the supermarket, he actually shopped in the supermarket for the entire day in high spirits. Why was such a playful child so listless today?
Only then did Lin Jiansheng realize that Kong Qing was really unhappy. “Why are you unhappy? Tell Daddy.”
Kong Qing turned around and hugged Lin Jiansheng’s head. His little head was pressed against Lin Jiansheng’s big head. Kong Qing said, “Father, Caro Zhengyang seems to be that person.”
Lin Jiansheng was stunned and took a while to understand what he meant.
“You’re saying that he’s the person who threw your mother into the Broken Cliff?” That person wasn’t even worthy of being Kong Qing’s father. Lin Jiansheng was unwilling to call him Kong Qing’s father.
Kong Qing nodded.
He recalled the painful memories that were in the depths of his mind, and his little face scrunched up in anguish.
Kong Qing told Lin Jiansheng, “I clearly remember that when the Nightmare Spider ate my mother, she didn’t call for help or struggle. She only shouted a person’s name repeatedly. I remember very clearly that person’s name was Caro Zhengyang.”
Kong Qing recalled the tragic state his mother had been in before she died. His weak body was actually trembling.
Lin Jiansheng felt that this was too coincidental and couldn’t believe that it was true. Lin Jiansheng comforted Kong Qing. “Perhaps, this Caro Zhengyang isn’t the Caro Zhengyang you think.”
However, Kong Qing was only small in size, and he was intelligent. He asked Lin Jiansheng, “The surname Caro is already rare. And how many people who lived more than 700 years ago and happened to be called Caro Zhengyang are there?”
Lin Jiansheng was speechless.
“If Caro Zhengyang is really that person, then I will definitely be able to sense it.” Kong Qing stroked the small ring on his neck. It was a small interspatial ring that Lin Jiansheng had given him. His mother’s remains were hidden inside.
Kong Qing held the small ring in his hand. “When my mother died, she had an unforgettable hatred for that person. If Caro Zhengyang is really that person, then when I approach him, my mother’s skeleton would react.”
