The Secret of the Goddess

Chapter 22 Direct Rejection

"I'm calling you over now, could it be because of the Eastern Wilderness Mother Pond of All Spirits?" Xue Yi was a little worried.

Xiao Qingruo said: "Go and have a look. If this is really the case, I will go into seclusion. Anyway, I can't go to Donghuang anywhere."

She knew the dangers of the Eastern Wasteland very well. There were very few humans there, they were all barbarians and wild beasts, and they would not be able to reason with her at all.

All her bluffing is based on the premise that she is surrounded by humans, and everyone has a clear concept of strength. After seeing her illusion of being so powerful, they dare not offend her.

If she was surrounded by a bunch of brainless wild beasts, and they saw how powerful she was and didn't know how to run away, but excitedly pounced on her, then she would definitely be doomed.

The barbarians are even more terrifying. They are the mortal enemies of humans. When they see humans, they will fight even if they know they can't defeat them. They are truly life-threatening enemies.

Xue Yi's strength was not enough. When the two of them went to the Eastern Wasteland, they were like a little hen entering a fox's den and being eaten in minutes.

"Let's go."

The two of them walked out of the door and walked to the meeting room of the main palace.

The meeting room of the main mansion is the place where major issues inside and outside the Shengwei mansion are discussed. Small matters are not qualified to be discussed here.

When Xue Yi and Xiao Qingruo arrived, there were already many people inside.

There were more than a dozen people in the spacious meeting hall.

Xue Yi followed Xiao Qingruo in and saw Xu Conglong, the master of the palace, sitting on the big chair in the middle. There were also two people sitting on the elders' seats on both sides. The Seventh Elder and the head of the Law Department, Shi Long, whom he had seen in the morning, were all there.

Qi Pengyuan was also there, standing behind the seventh elder. We haven't seen him for a while, but his aura has become much stronger. It seems that he just took the best elixir and not only recovered from his injuries, but also stepped further into the cave world.

"Master of the Palace, Seventh Elder, Uncle Shi, what important matter have you brought me here for?" Xiao Qingruo walked to the middle of the hall and asked.

There are several people around, namely: Xu Lingtian, Huo Feixuan, Qin Xu, and Zhong Zhenyue. They are all masters of the Cave Heaven Realm, and they are all quite young.

Palace Master Xu Conglong said nothing.

Shi Long, the head of the Law Enforcement Department, said: "I just received the news from Donghuang Fortress this morning, the Mother Pond of All Spirits..."

After his introduction, the situation was indeed the same as what Lei Pang told Xue Yi.

After the introduction, they all said to Xiao Qingruo: "Qingruo, your qualifications are unparalleled among the younger generation, so this time the government plans to let you lead a team to Donghuang to try to see if you can win Wanling. Mother Pool Opportunity.”

Zhong Zhenyue, the youngest first-class guard from the guard department, said with a smile: "We still need to rely on the eldest lady to take care of us, otherwise we won't be able to make it through the Eastern Wasteland with just a few of us."

Young Master Huo Feixuan also said: "The eldest lady is very powerful and unrivaled among her peers. She can come and go at will in Donghuang."

But Xiao Qingruo ignored these compliments.

She frowned slightly and replied: "Although the Mother Pond of All Spirits is a great opportunity, I don't need this kind of external thing. Palace Master, you said that a truly strong man never relies on external forces. His own strength is the real strength." You are so powerful, are you going to violate your beliefs and let me take shortcuts and destroy my future?”

"this……"

Everyone was immediately speechless.

Palace Master Xu Conglong said: "Ruo'er, this Mother Pond of All Spirits is somewhat different after all. It..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Qingruo said calmly: "Foreign objects are foreign objects after all. No matter how good the treasure is, it is not as valuable as my own talent. Master, Elder, Uncle Shi, please forgive Qingruo for being bold. This time in Donghuang I won’t go on this trip.”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"well?"

"this……"

The three elders were stunned. They didn't expect Xiao Qingruo to be so arrogant and not even pay attention to the Mother Pool of All Spirits.

That is the Mother Pool of All Spirits! One of the greatest opportunities in the world!

As long as you can be nourished by a drop of gold liquid at the bottom of the pool, it is easy to break through the realm of immortality, and it is not difficult to step into the realm of Dharma!

Although she could have reached this point, there were many benefits.

Seeing Xiao Qingruo leaving, several people in the hall felt a little uncomfortable.

"Father, is it possible that Qingruo is worried that this trip is too dangerous, so she doesn't want to go?" Xu Lingtian asked.

Xu Conglong shook his head: "Even if her strength can't compete with the older barbarian warriors, she can definitely protect herself. Besides, we have Dharma Realm warriors accompanying us, which is enough to ensure your safety... That's all. If she doesn't go, she won't go." Come on. The heart of a strong person cannot be bent, so don’t force her to do something she doesn’t want to do. If you go together, whoever gets the opportunity will immediately practice the highest mental method in the house!"

"Yes, father (mansion master)!"

Everyone took orders.

"Peng Yuan, you also go with them." The seventh elder said.

"Okay, great ancestor." Qi Pengyuan also accepted the order.

Then he asked: "Great Ancestor, Master of the Palace, Uncle Shi, can you bring Xue Yi with you? He has good qualifications and is the personal bodyguard of the eldest lady. He will definitely join the core of Shengwei Palace in the future. This time..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Lingtian interrupted: "No, he hasn't even passed the final assessment of the Guards Department, how can he be the core? Moreover, he is already twenty-three years old and only has the strength of the ninth level of Gangqi. He has no qualifications. , the highest peak of the cave heaven realm in this life, even immortality is difficult. "

"But……"

Qi Pengyuan wanted to say something else.

"Okay, no need to argue."

Palace Master Xu Conglong said: "You all go prepare yourself and set off early tomorrow morning. There is no need to say more about Xue Yi, he has other things to do."

"Something else? What?" Xu Lingtian asked immediately.

"It's none of your business, go down."

Xu Conglong did not answer. Even towards his own son, his attitude was not much better than that of others.

"This... is, father."

Xu Lingtian had no choice but to retreat.

Everyone left quickly and prepared for their trip to the East Wilderness.

On the other side.

Xue Yi and Xiao Qingruo returned to their residence in Lanyuan.

As soon as they entered the house, Xue Yi gave a thumbs up and praised: "As expected of the eldest lady, you are really eloquent!"

If you don't dare to go, then don't go. Such a formal refusal made the master speechless. You are really good at it!

Xiao Qingruo said calmly: "Basic operation."

"Now you can sit back and relax and practice with peace of mind. Miss, you read the book slowly, and I will improve myself."

Xue Yi was in a good mood. He walked into the side room and sat down, and began to practice the Emperor's Five Spirits.

Xiao Qingruo saw the phantoms of the five sacred beasts appear, and her face showed some curiosity. She was very interested in Xue Yi's unique skills.

But she didn't ask, and after looking for a while, she continued to flip through the book.

About an hour later, the maid outside the door came to report.

"Miss, Brother Xue Yi, someone is coming from the mansion owner."

Xue Yi stopped practicing, opened the door and asked in confusion: "Didn't you just go there once? Why are you here again? What's the matter this time?"

"The messenger said that it's just some small things. Just ask Brother Xue Yi to go to the study. Miss, don't worry about it." The maid Qiu Tang said.

"Small things?" Xue Yi frowned, a little unhappy.

But the mansion owner's order is an imperial decree in this acre and three-thirds of land, and he has to go.

He looked at Xiao Qingruo.

Xiao Qingruo said: "Go, it should be a test for you."
