Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 560

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Qing Jue smiled kindly and stared intently at the scene before her until Ding You's figure completely disappeared before she came back to her senses.

However, her eyes were already brimming with tears.

"Sorry, I embarrassed myself again..."

The elderly Qingjue spoke slowly, his tone calm, as if he had already taken life and death in stride.

At this moment, she is merely a projection within this dragon pearl; the real Qingjue may have already vanished into the long river of history.

The reason she showed this side of herself in front of Xiao Fan was because the scene before her had stirred up painful memories of the past.

"......"

Xiao Fan did not speak, because he could also see that the Qingjue in front of him was just a projection, or rather, a projection of the real Qingjue left inside the dragon pearl.

Everything was merely an image left behind when the other party created the existence of this dragon pearl.

When Qingjue wiped away the tears on her face, she regained her calm demeanor and then her gaze fell on Xiao Fan's location.

It was clearly just a projection, yet Xiao Fan felt a sense of pressure from it.

"Young man, as you can see, I am Qingjue!"

The elderly Qingjue's gaze fell on Xiao Fan's location, and he slowly spoke:

"After the Holy Maiden died, the clan's rescue team arrived in time."

"What a perfectly timed rescue..."

A cold smile appeared on Qingjue's face, but his aged face still revealed anger.

"It wasn't until the old woman returned that she learned of the changes that had occurred in the clan, but despite searching the entire battlefield, she was unable to find the saintess's remains..."

Qingjue looked up and continued speaking.

"Later, my mother-in-law took me in, but the matter was not resolved and I was punished by the clan."

"My mother-in-law was furious. Everyone involved in this matter, from top to bottom, was severely punished!"

"Two of the branches were expelled from the main city of the Mother Tree of All Things and banished outside the city. Two Dou Sheng powerhouses who advocated this matter were also punished by their clans and suppressed the rift for three hundred years!"

"After this incident, my mother-in-law created an enforcement team, and I became its first captain, all to maintain fairness within the clan."

"The Spirit Race can fail, the Spirit Race can perish. But the Spirit Race will not tolerate the existence of such traitors again."

Qingjue spoke slowly, her tone earnest.

Suddenly turning around, her gaze fell on Xiao Fan again, and she said, "And now, my duties as the first captain of the enforcement team have come to an end."

A slight smile played on Qingjue's lips, her tone revealing a hint of pleasure.

"The Flood Dragon Pearl is merely a container. This Flood Dragon Pearl records the battle in which Ding You, the fifteenth Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan, perished. I, Qing Jue, have no regrets."

"Holy Maiden, Aunt Qing... I've come to join you..."

As Qingjue finished speaking, the world before Xiao Fan's eyes began to crack like a shattered mirror.

The scene at the very front remains the same: the girl Qingjue kneeling on the ground.

As all the scenes were completely torn apart and disappeared.

Xiao Fan's gaze returned to the cave.

Coming to his senses, Xiao Fan looked at the dragon pearl in his hand, which had dimmed considerably, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"The fifteenth generation Holy Maiden, Ding You..."

Xiao Fan recalled the information Qing Jue had revealed inside the Flood Dragon Pearl. What about Yue Yao?

Which generation of saintess is she now?

The most crucial thing is to use it.

What is the connection between this dragon pearl and the Moon Goddess's Trial?

Xiao Fan had initially thought that obtaining the Flood Dragon Pearl would give him a clearer understanding of the Moon Goddess Trial, but he hadn't expected that the pearl contained merely a historical image that allowed him to participate in it.

Now, his doubts have not only not been resolved, but have actually intensified.

"Headache......"

Xiao Fan rubbed his temples, looking at the dragon pearl in his hand that had dimmed considerably. He was about to sink into it again to search for more information, but he felt a sense of rejection coming from the dragon pearl in his hand.

"Can't get in?"

Xiao Fan enveloped the entire Flood Dragon Pearl with his soul power, and when he discovered that his soul power could no longer penetrate it, Xiao Fan frowned even more deeply.

"It seems that once I see the final Azure Jade, I will no longer be able to use this Flood Dragon Pearl to gain enlightenment..."

Having understood this, Xiao Fan put away the dragon pearl in his hand, sensed the aura outside the mountain peak, and the spatial power around his body flickered before he disappeared into the cave.

Outside the Sound Valley, on a mountain peak not far from where Xiao Fan was located.

Dressed in a plain dress, Baili sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, cultivating with her eyes closed. The dense battle qi around her surged into Baili's body.

The sudden aura he sensed made Baili open his eyes.

"Is the retreat over?"

Seeing Xiao Fan suddenly appear on the mountaintop, Baili showed a hint of surprise and curiously looked Xiao Fan over.

Since it concerned the Moon Goddess Trial, she had never delved into the things recorded in the Flood Dragon Pearl, so she was naturally very curious.

Now that Xiao Fan has been in seclusion for half a month, he should have gained something.

"Ah."

Xiao Fan nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the flames that had enveloped the mountain where he cultivated spread again and returned to his hand.

Xiao Fan turned his gaze to Baili again and asked, "How long have I been in seclusion?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's question, Baili replied softly, "Not long, only about half a month."

"Half a month?"

Xiao Fan looked surprised upon hearing Baili's words.

He didn't expect that such a short time had actually passed by in half a month.

Fortunately, there is still plenty of time before the Moon Goddess Trial begins.

"Could you please contact Senior Ru Shuang for me? I have something important to discuss with her."

Xiao Fan spoke to Baili, who nodded slightly. Just then, they saw Nalan Yanran flying towards them from a distance.

This is the time she teaches Nalan Yanran the art of playing the zither every day.

"Xiao Fan!?"

From afar, Nalan Yanran saw Xiao Fan, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

However, after she sensed the aura that Xiao Fan was unintentionally emanating from him, she lost the will to continue the exchange.

After all, she had been studying with Master Baili's power every day for the past two weeks, and her progress was rapid.

Chapter 343 I Can't Take It Anymore

Nalan Yanran was initially excited by her sudden increase in strength, but now, sensing the terrifying aura of cultivation emanating from Xiao Fan again, she couldn't help but lower her proud head.

Compared to a monstrous genius like Xiao Fan, his progress was utterly insignificant.

The initial excitement vanished the moment she saw Xiao Fan.

"Yanran, you've arrived."

When Baili saw Nalan Yanran appear, a smile bloomed on his face.

"Master."

Nalan Yanran bowed to Baili, then stood quietly to the side without saying a word.

After all, she could tell that at this moment, her master clearly had something to discuss with Xiao Fan.

Baili listened to Xiao Fan's words but didn't say much. He just nodded to Nalan Yanran and then waved his hand lightly, and a special mark appeared in mid-air.

Immediately, the mark transformed into a stream of light and fell directly into the interior of the Sound Valley.

Since Baili had not yet returned, Rushuang would check on things immediately should anything happen in Yin Valley.

In the past, Ru Shuang would probably have already appeared by the time Xiao Fan finished his seclusion.

Now that Baili is here, Rushuang doesn't pay much attention to him.

After all, she knew that if Xiao Fan ended things, he would naturally look for her.

Moreover, with Baili here, and Baili's current strength already catching up with her, his master, she felt at ease.

"Just wait a moment."

Watching the mark disappear into mid-air, Baili nodded slightly to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan wasn't in a hurry when he heard this, after all, even if he was anxious, a little more time wouldn't make a difference.

Xiao Fan turned his gaze to Nalan Yanran, who was standing to the side, and suddenly asked:

"By the way, after you separated from Little Fairy Doctor and the others, did you know where they planned to go next?"
