Chapter 153: Bai Bai Can’t Even Be Bothered To Complain
She then picked out a few hairbands according to Ming Zhaoxue’s preferences, and left after paying.
As soon as she arrived at Cheng Manor, she saw Si Yuyan and Cheng Zhaoyang standing side by side, talking happily along the long sunset.
Last time she asked Cheng Zhaoyang to inform Si Yuyan when the Spirit Gathering Formation was ready, the latter did not choose to leave immediately, but said they would talk after Ming Zhaoshuang left the Third Heaven.
Si Yuyan did not visit Cheng Manor frequently, but every time he came, he was looking for Cheng Zhaoyang.
This time was no different.
It turned out that after that thunder, the major sects in the Upper Cultivation World suddenly discovered that the thunder was not ordinary Tribulation Crossing Lightning, but Annihilation Lightning.
After much investigation, it was discovered that a Divine Tool had appeared.
This greatly alarmed the major sects of the Upper Cultivation World. Ever since the Artificing Saint Ou Ziye passed away, no Divine Tool had appeared in the Cultivation World for nearly ten thousand years, and no one wanted to miss out.
Therefore, they were now pressuring Great Sui to quickly find the Divine Tool and its creator.
After Cheng Zhaoyang returned to the capital, she took charge of the security of Changjing, so this matter fell to her.
She naturally could not reveal Ming Zhaoshuang’s identity and only said that she was still searching.
However, someone unexpectedly directly accused Cheng Zhaoyang of bringing Ming Zhaoshuang and others, claiming suspicious behavior, and demanded to use Soul Technique to investigate them to see if they were behind it.
Cheng Zhaoyang refused several times and even threw a tantrum when Empress Dowager Cheng summoned her today.
Seeing his poor expression, Si Yuyan specifically came to offer her advice, suggesting she shift the blame to Feng Budu.
After all, Feng Budu had appeared at Demon Quelling Pass more than two months ago. Although she was not an Artifact Cultivator, she had ventured into the Dragon Domain, and would undoubtedly possess the remains of a Divine Beast, from which the Divine Tool could naturally be found.
It could only be said that since the Devil Realm usually did not do good deeds, if not her, then who else could take the blame.
Ming Zhaoshuang heard a few sentences and found it inexplicably amusing, thinking that Feng Budu was truly unlucky to have something from two months ago attributed to her.
After Cheng Zhaoyang finished explaining the situation, she then turned her gaze to Ming Zhaoshuang.
She said, “Don’t worry, I will resolve this matter myself.”
Ming Zhaoshuang smiled and said, “Then I can only thank you, Sister Zhaoyang.”
Under the pressure from the Upper Cultivation World, Cheng Zhaoyang’s ability to not reveal her showed the depth of their friendship.
Ming Zhaoshuang continued, “However, Sister Zhaoyang can agree to it. My senior brothers and I are not afraid of being subjected to Soul Technique, so we can give the Upper Cultivation World an explanation.”
After all, deflecting the blame was one thing, but the Upper Cultivation World would still harbor suspicions towards them.
Ming Zhaoshuang held Mengji and Bai Bai in her hand. Bai Bai had already reached the realm of half-step Divine Soul. The Soul Power realm was so high that there might not be many people with such a level in the entire Thirty-Six Heavens, so she was not afraid of being subjected to soul searching.
It could only be said that thanks to Hong Hong’s generous contribution, she had given her a great beast.
Since she said so, Cheng Zhaoyang had no reason to refuse, and could only lead them to the Great Expert from the Upper Cultivation World to undergo soul searching.
That Great Expert’s cultivation was at the Late Mahayana Stage, and he was said to be from the Beast Sect. His Soul Power would not be low, which showed how much importance the Upper Cultivation World placed on this matter.
It was a pity, however, that he still found nothing and merely waved for Ming Zhaoshuang and the others to retreat.
As they were leaving, he suddenly asked Ming Zhaoshuang, “Have you ever been to Shuangyu Mountain?”
Ming Zhaoshuang retorted, “Shuangyu Mountain? What kind of place is that?”
Seeing her innocent eyes, which did not seem fake, the man sighed and asked no further.
By evening, Bai Bai’s demeanor was also not quite right.
Ming Zhaoshuang asked, “Did he see through it?”
Bai Bai shook his head and said, “He didn’t see through it. He’s only at the Mid-stage of the Empty Soul Realm. I wouldn’t be unable to deal with him.”
Ming Zhaoshuang wondered, “Then why do you look so upset?”
Bai Bai exhaled and said, “I know this person.”
Ming Zhaoshuang suddenly remembered that the Great Expert sent to find the Divine Tool was from the Beast Sect.
And the first pirated Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Formation she had encountered was created by the Beast Sect to cultivate docile Heaven Rank Spiritual Beasts.
Ming Zhaoshuang frowned and guessed, “Did he trap you and Hong Hong on Shuangyu Mountain?”
Bai Bai nodded and said, “This person’s name is Bu Chengle, and he is the youngest disciple of Talisman Saint Wei Shuo.”
Ming Zhaoshuang asked, “Then how can he be in the Beast Sect? Wasn’t Wei Shuo from Setting Sun Mountain Range?”
She knew this much: although the Five Sages were friends, they were not in the same sect. Alchemy Saint Yixu was from Penglai Immortal Island, Artificing Saint Ou Ziye was from the Artifact Sect, Beast Taming Saint Feng He was from Ao Tian Sect, Talisman Saint Wei Shuo was from Setting Sun Mountain Range, and Music Saint Yiqi Huang was from Lapis Lazuli Azure Sea.
How could Wei Shuo’s disciple exist in the Beast Sect?
Bai Bai frowned and said, “That I do not know.”
Ming Zhaoshuang continued to ask, “Then how did you two meet?”
Bai Bai said, “Hong Hong and I were both contracted Spirit Beasts of Beast Taming Saint Feng He. When we were following Feng He, we met him a few times.”
Ming Zhaoshuang was startled and thought, “Why Feng He again?”
The System quipped, “Feng He is a Beast Taming Saint, so what if she has a few more spirit beasts? Besides, Sister is beautiful, cool, and powerful, so she deserves to be liked by others.”
Ming Zhaoshuang thought, “Do you like Feng He?”
The System proudly said, “No one in this world would dislike Feng He, so it’s normal for there to be more things about Feng He around you. After all, Feng He is a legend in the Cultivation World.”
Ming Zhaoshuang remembered Ming Zhaoxue and couldn’t help but ask, “Have you met Ming Zhaoxue?”
As soon as Bai Bai remembered that dog man who used his slightly stronger Divine Soul to bully him, he spat and said:
“By seniority, he should be calling me Uncle.”
That thing that doesn’t respect the old and love the young, all day long it just uses their Mengji dream weaving ability to secretly meet with Ming Zhaoshuang.
Bai Bai truly looked down on Ming Zhaoxue, just as he looked down on Ao Tian back then.
Ming Zhaoshuang didn’t know why he was so indignant, and continued to ask, “Feng He Du Xian, really didn’t have time to give him a name?”
As parents, even if Ming Zhaoxue hadn’t hatched yet, they should have at least started preparing.
Bai Bai gave Ming Zhaoshuang a sideways glance and said, “Do you think Feng He could come up with any good names? She studied sword techniques for three hundred years and called it ‘Number One Sword Under Heaven’; she originally wanted to open a sect called ‘Number One Sect Under Heaven’; not to mention she changed all the Five Sages’ books to ‘Number One XX Under Heaven’.”
Bai Bai truly disliked Feng He’s naming ability.
Fortunately, the sect was eventually not formed because the Five Sages drifted across the Nine Provinces and each had their own sect, otherwise the Five Sages might have died with their eyes open.
After all, it was one thing for their hard work to be given a trash name, and another to be told afterwards that they came from a trash sect.
Ming Zhaoshuang hesitated, “Then Ming Zhaoxue, won’t he be called ‘Number One Dragon Under Heaven’…”
Bai Bai said, “That’s not likely. After all, he hasn’t hatched yet, and at most he’s been called ‘Number One Egg Under Heaven’ a few times.”
Ming Zhaoshuang: “…”
That’s even worse than being called ‘Number One Dragon Under Heaven’.
It’s no wonder Ming Zhaoxue said he had no name. If it were Ming Zhaoshuang, she also wouldn’t admit to having such a trash name.
Bai Bai said, “Feng He’s ability to name people is even worse. For example, my Bai Bai, Sister’s Hong Hong, and Feng Budu’s Jiaojiao. As for Ming Zhaoxue, he has even more names, almost changing one a day, but they are all reduplicated words.”
For example, because he was an egg, he was called Dan Dan.
For example, because he was a round egg, he was called Yuan Yuan.
For example, because he was a round, snow-white egg, he was called Xue Xue.
Anyway, Feng He bestowed names three thousand times, and there weren’t many decent ones. Bai Bai couldn’t even be bothered to complain.
