Why do they always want me to change my filial piety?

"I don't want you to leave Zixia Sect and Sect Master Ning, but to help you arrange another identity."

"In this way, you can be a disciple of Sect Master Ning, or a concubine."

Qu Qirong expressed her thoughts.

"Sorry!" Lu Ran still refused.

As Qu Qirong said, becoming her confidant may obtain countless cultivation resources.

But if once she had some conflict with her master Ning Hou, causing the relationship between the two parties to break down, who should he help at that time?

Undoubtedly, no matter what angle he stood at, Lu Ran would refuse.

"The concubine is right, Mr. Lu is indeed a good disciple."

"What I said just now, I just want to test it on behalf of Sect Master Ning. I hope Mr. Lu doesn't care."

After being rejected, Qu Qirong was not embarrassed, but said with a smile.

With such an understatement, he revealed what happened just now.

Lu Ran took a deep look at her and didn't say anything more.

"Mr. Lu, can I accompany my concubine to put up a lantern?"

Suddenly, Qu Qirong's eyes fell on the small river.

I don't know when, the sky is getting dark.

The river has been covered with all kinds of lanterns, and they drove down from the source according to the current.

Under the light, the entire river bank is brightly lit, and the river surface is sparkling, which is as picturesque as a poem.

"Ma'am, what color lantern do you like?"

"Hmm... it's black!"

Lu Ran nodded, came to the hawker selling lanterns, picked out a black and a lavender lantern, and quickly turned back to the river bank.

"I heard that as long as you make a wish on the lantern, if the lantern can flow from the source to the mouth of the river without going out, your wish will come true!"

Qu Qirong took the ink-colored lantern, bent her graceful waist, and gently sent it into the river.

Chapter 34 Acknowledging relatives on the spot?

Beside the brightly lit bridgehead, bamboo poles were hung up at some point.

A handbag is hung above each lantern on the bamboo pole, extending to the opposite side of the bridge.

At this moment, many people have surrounded the bridge.

They took out the note in the kit, lowered their heads and pondered.

Every time I think of the answer, I will show joy, and then move forward.

This is obviously a crossword puzzle.

Seeing this scene, Qu Qirong looked at Lu Ran with some interest: "Mr. Lu, shall we go and have a look?"

Although she doesn't practice Confucianism or Taoism, she still reads some books when she is bored.

She has read a lot of interesting books like crossword puzzles.

"Then let's see!"

Lu Ran smiled and walked to the bridge side by side with her.

The two picked a kit at random and opened it at the same time.

[Two knives leaning together, but they look different, type one word! 】

Qu Qirong pondered for a while, then murmured: "A sword is the same as a knife, and a sword is also a spear. When the two are put together, it is the word 'stroke'!"

Immediately, she looked at the note in Lu Ran's hand: "Mr. Lu, what is your anagram?"

As far as the eye can see, it says "two villains holding hands, walking in unison on the wooden stick".

Qu Qirong took a quick look and knew the answer to the mystery, but she didn't speak out.

Obviously, she wanted to see if Lu Ran could guess it too.

Lu Ran thought about it for a while, and finally understood.

"It's a Cong character!"

Two little people hold hands, which means that they are close together, which is the word "cong", and a wooden stick is added underneath, which means: from + one = clump!

For Lu Ran, who has studied in university, this point can still be guessed.

"These two are easier, but finding two is difficult!"

Qu Qirong smiled lightly, moved her lotus steps slightly, and started searching on the bridge.

Although now she is disguised as an ordinary woman, but with every frown and smile, it is still difficult to conceal the temperament of a dignified lady.

Many people on the bridge cast their gazes over, but when they saw her ordinary appearance, they shook their heads and looked away.

Some women were attracted by Lu Ran's extremely good-looking appearance, and when they found that there was a mature woman beside him, they all sighed secretly

It is obvious that Lu Ran is classified as a foster face.

After all, the dress and temperament of that mature/woman are not like ordinary people at all.

It is very common to look after some lonely and empty ladies.

It's just that Baoyang's face is as good-looking as the man in front of him, which still makes them a little jealous.

Naturally, Lu Ran and Qu Qirong didn't know what they were thinking, even if they knew, they wouldn't care, after all, they can't control other people's thoughts.

[Don't wait for the sunset to approach dusk, type a word! 】

[Wild geese fly in the desert paddy field, type a word! 】

These two anagrams are obviously more difficult than before, but they are not too difficult.

Lu Ran and Qu Qirong quickly guessed that one was the word "Mu" and the other was the word "Zi".

"How about this, Mr. Lu!"

"Every time you and I guess an anagram, we take a step forward. I want to see who will get to the other side of the bridge first."

"The loser tells the other party a secret, how about it?"

Qu Qirong withdrew her gaze from the note, her red lips parted slightly.

From the words, it can be seen that she is indeed very interested in the crossword puzzle.

Lu Ran asked, "What if it's a tie?"

"Let's each tell each other a secret, what does Mr. Lu Ran think?"

"can!"

Lu Ran nodded and agreed.

Anyway, today's mission is to accompany his partner, and he needs to deepen his understanding of the world if he wants to step into the king realm.

The world of mortals happens to be an important part of the perception of heaven and earth.

"Mr. Lu should be faster, don't be slower than my concubine."

Qu Qirong just dropped this sentence, then swayed her graceful and moving figure, and continued to pick the kit.

On the other side, the same is true for Lu Ran!

Under the hazy moonlight, the figures of the two sometimes pause, and sometimes walk forward at a fast pace, the shadows are intertwined, and they are very close to each other.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Ran and Qu Qirong arrived at the other side of the bridge at the same time.

"What a coincidence, it turned out to be a draw!"

Qu Qirong stroked her slightly messy hair, and looked at Lu Ran: "I wonder what secret Mr. Lu wants to know?"

"How did Madam and Master know each other?"

Lu Ran asked out the doubts that had been buried in his heart.

Because from the very beginning, he was puzzled why Master would trust Qu Qirong so much.

"We have known each other before, and Sect Master Ning has cooperated with this concubine many times."

"It's just that at that time, the concubine was not the wife of the suzerain, and the suzerain Ning was not the suzerain of the Zixia sect either!"

At this point, she stopped talking.

"I see!"

Although Qu Qirong's words were very vague, but with the previous guesses, Lu Ran has already extracted the key information from these two sentences.

First: Master Ning Yu's origin is indeed not simple, and it may be in line with his previous guess. Master Ning Yu is a disciple of Yin Yang Fa Tian, ​​the top force in the Demonic Dao.

Second: Qu Qirong has cooperated with Master before, so she should know this level of identity!

"It's my concubine's turn!"

"May I ask Mr. Lu, is there a half jade pendant on your body that is exactly the same as the half jade pendant on my body?"

At this moment, Qu Qirong took out half a crystal jade pendant from her bosom.

This half crystal pendant is engraved with obscure and ancient lines, and it is emitting a faint light at this moment.

Lu Ran's eyes froze, and then he took out half a crystal jade pendant from the ring.

I saw that the jade pendant in his hand also exuded a faint light, as if in mutual induction.

"Is this a couple?" Lu Ran was stunned on the spot.

The half crystal pendant in his arms was given to him by his concubine mother.

And Qu Qirong actually has half of it in her hand, could it be that she is a relative of the concubine who is still alive?

How come there is an illusion of recognizing relatives on the spot?

"The crystal pendant was originally a pair, but the concubine split it into two pieces!"

"Each block is engraved with a small teleportation circle, as long as you inject real energy, it can be activated instantly!"

Qu Qirong walked up to Lu Ran, holding the other half of the crystal jade pendant in her slender hand, overlapping with the one in his hand.

"Why is this?" Lu Ran's expression was extremely complicated.

Qu Qirong showed a relieved smile, sat down gracefully on the stone chair by the bridge, and said softly, "Would you like to listen to my concubine tell a story?"

"En!" Lu Ran nodded.

"When I was still in my cardamom years, I was very playful."

"But when I went out secretly, I entered a secret place and encountered danger there."

"When life and death were at stake, I was rescued by a woman. Since then, I have formed a deep friendship with her."

"Afterwards, the concubine married Jinlan and presented a jade pendant to Sister Xue."

"The two halves of the crystal jade pendant are engraved with the word 'Rong' on the concubine's body, and the word 'Snow' on the other half."

Qu Qirong showed nostalgia, slowly told everything about that year, and at the same time turned the two halves of the jade pendant upside down.

Sure enough, as she said, these two characters were engraved on the back of the two halves of the jade pendant.

Chapter 35 Rational yet emotional elders

Lu Ran took a deep breath and looked at Qu Qirong: "Who is Sister Xue that Madam is talking about?"

"Well, Sister Xue's name is Concubine Yuan Xue, and she is also your concubine mother!"

"Is the concubine right?"

Meeting his gaze, Qu Qirong spoke slowly.

She has searched for so many years, but there has been no news. She originally thought that Sister Xue's child had died in the attack that year.

Perhaps it was God's will, or perhaps it was fate, that she actually met her.

"Back then, the concubine mother used the small teleportation circle inside this jade pendant, was she planning to find his wife?"
