Chapter 109: The Background of Long Bingyan

  After entering the inner hall, both sides sat down as host and guest, and then maidservants presented fragrant tea.

  Qinglian Holy Girl is a strong person above the 7th layer of Qi refining, and her cultivation and vision are much higher than Lin Xi's. Such a good opportunity, Lin Xi naturally will not miss it.

  Taking advantage of the opportunity to drink tea, Lin Xi asked Qinglian Holy Girl about some problems she had encountered during her usual practice.

  Qinglian Holy Girl benefited from Lin Xi's kindness and also had the relationship with Shangguan Yaoyue, so she was frank and open-minded. Often just a few words could resolve Lin Xi's doubts.

  This is something that someone who has not cultivated themselves deeply cannot achieve.

  Shangguan Yaoyue wasn't particularly interested in cultivation. With Qinglian Holy Girl as her backing, it could be said that her practice was smooth sailing. Whatever problems arose, someone would help her resolve them the moment they appeared.

  Upper Official Yao Xue is relatively more interested in things outside of cultivation within the Shén Xiāo Sect, asking this and that, talking non-stop.

  After a few rounds of conversation, by the time they finished a pot of tea, both sides had become very familiar with each other and their relationship had become much closer.

  "Lin Xi, I heard you have a grudge against Long Bingyan, the Holy Maiden. What's going on?"

  Qinglian Holy Maiden suddenly said.

  She also understood Lin Xi during their conversation. At this time, she didn't beat around the bush and directly got to the point.

  Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment before reacting:

  "This is a long story. I have to start from when I was in the Thunderclap Sect."

  Lin Xi did not hide it either, and immediately told the story of the grudges between him and the Long family in brief.

  These things, even Shangguan Yuxue had never heard him mention before.

  "This woman is really hateful! How can she be like this!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue heard that Lin Xi's aunt was indirectly killed by Long Bingyan, and she gritted her teeth in anger.

  This is typical of her!

  On the side, Qinglian Holy Girl heard about it and frowned:

  "Unexpectedly, you and Long Bingyan have such a deep grudge."

  Lin Xi stared at Qinglian Shengnv, watching as her brow furrowed, and his heart skipped a beat.

  Actually, since Qinglian Holy Girl appeared, Lin Xi had been thinking of finding Qinglian Holy Girl to inquire about Qinglong Ice Color's background. Qinglian Holy Girl took the initiative to ask, which coincided with his intention.

  At this time, seeing Qinglian Holy Girl's eyebrows slightly furrowed, Lin Xi immediately thought that his own guess might really come true.

  "Sister, there's something I've been wanting to ask. What's the story behind Long Bingyan? Why was she able to interfere in the Immortal Dao assessment? And even in the Lu De Hall, she had influence. Moreover, I once met disciples of the Dou Lü and Tai Ah sects, and when they heard her name, they were all very cautious, as if her background is very impressive. What's going on?"

  Lin Xi asked directly.

  He clearly remembered that before the Cao brothers were killed, they inadvertently revealed a secret, saying that Long Bingyan had another origin. If he didn't figure out what was going on with this woman, Lin Xi felt like he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.

  "Yes. Eldest sister, this woman is really too arrogant. Is there no way to teach her a lesson?"

  Shangguan Yaoyue also called out from beside him.

  "Ah!"

  Qinglian Shengnu sighed:

  "Lin Xi, since you asked. I won't hide it either. I originally had a thought to see if I could help resolve this grudge for you. But now, it seems that's completely impossible."

  "Yes, Long Bingyan has harmed my aunt. She has tried to kill me multiple times and even tampered with my luck charm. Even if she spares me, I won't spare her."

  Lin Xi said firmly.

  Qinglian Holy Girl looked at him deeply:

  "Since you have made up your mind, I also hope you are mentally prepared for it."

  "No matter what her background is, I won't change. Eldest sister, just speak directly."

  Lin Xidao.

  His eyes were bright and his gaze was firm.

  Qinglian Holy Girl just took a glance at him and knew that the young man's mind was as firm as a rock, and it was absolutely impossible to change.

  Qinglian Shengnu shook her head slightly in her heart and finally revealed the secret of Long Bingyan:

  "The Shenshui Sect has a rich foundation, and the status of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter is noble. However, looking at the entire sect, there are countless Holy Sons and Daughters. If Long Bingyan were just an ordinary Holy Daughter, she would be on equal footing with me, which doesn't necessarily mean I'd fear her. As long as I make a move, it's basically impossible for her to lay a hand on you. However, her other identity is not something to be trifled with!"

  "What identity?"

  Shangguan Yaoyue asked on behalf of Lin Xi.

  "Empress!"

  Qinglian Shengnu solemnly spat out two words.

  "Goddess?"

  Lin Xi was astonished, he had no idea what this name meant. However, a cry of surprise came from beside him.

  "Ah!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue let out a cry of surprise, her face filled with shock. She seemed to deeply understand the weight and significance of the two words "Divine Concubine"!

  "What is known as the Divine Consort is the chosen partner of our sect's 'Divine Son'. The Divine Son is high above, with an extraordinary status, and is the most revered existence among all disciples. He is the future leader of the sect, and even the elders must show respect. With this relationship, Long Bingyan's status within the sect far surpasses that of other Holy Sons and Daughters. She can even speak freely in front of the elders. Lin Xi, if you make a mortal enemy out of her, it will be very bad for you!"

  "Lin Xi, do you still remember me telling you about 'Xian Lü'?"

  Shangguan Yaoyue's expression turned serious as she explained from the side:

  "Upon reaching the tenth level of Qi refinement, one is considered a true immortal. At this level, one gains the qualification to choose an immortal partner and engage in dual cultivation with them. The number of partners depends on one's strength and status. I had heard of the reputation of the God Shadow Sect's divine son before joining the sect. It was said that he possessed unparalleled strength, a talent that only appears once every ten thousand years, and is destined to inherit the position of leader of the God Shadow Sect."

  His power was earth-shattering, astonishing ancient and modern times, so the number of his divine consorts was also exceptionally large, with a total of nine. Far surpassing other immortals. Since he called himself the Divine Son, his consorts were all referred to as Divine Consorts. Long Bingyan was one of them.

  Shangguan Yaoyue paused for a moment, then turned to Qinglian Holy Maiden and asked in confusion:

  "Sister, Shenzi is a powerful being at the peak of the Xian Dao's tenth level. Logically, his chosen partners should all be beyond the Lianqi stage. Why did he take a liking to Long Bingyan, a Saintess who has only reached the Lianqi boundary? Moreover, Shenzi has nine consorts, each with extraordinary strength and beauty, so it shouldn't be that he treats Long Bingyan specially, right?"

  Qinglian Holy Girl shook her head:

  "This matter, I'm not very clear about it either. However, I've heard that Long Bingyan was personally chosen by the God Son and he thinks highly of her qualifications. With the God Son's support, advancing to the Immortal Path is only a matter of time. As for whether Long Bingyan has received special favor from the God Son, I'm not clear about that either. This kind of thing can only be understood between the God Son and the Goddesses. However, I've heard that it was precisely Long Bingyan's cold and icy personality that piqued the God Son's interest. He strictly forbids other goddesses from taking advantage of her when she's weak. But this has also caused dissatisfaction among the other goddesses. I've even heard that recently, Long Bingyan introduced her own sister, Long Dani, to the God Son. She became a concubine and Long Dani became a mistress, in order to solidify her position and compete for the God Son's favor!"

  "Ah!"

  When he heard Long Dani's name, Lin Xi was shocked.

  "This woman is really shameless!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue couldn't help but scold. She knew the inside story of the Xian Dao world and knew that a concubine was far inferior to a queen. Long Bingyan could be considered a divine queen, with an extraordinary status, while Long Danni was just a concubine, a plaything without any status.

  Introduce your own sister as a plaything!

  This made Shangguan Yaoyue, also a woman, feel deeply humiliated.

  Compared with the excitement of the two young men and women, Qinglian Shengnv seemed much more stable and calm.

  The Xian Dao world is the same as the secular world, where strength speaks for itself. Long Bingyan's behavior, in Qinglian Holy Maiden's eyes, was also not unreasonable. After all, women would eventually marry, either to this man or that man.

  Marrying whom is still marrying!

  The status of the gods is extraordinary, like the sun in the sky, high above. Long Dani marrying Shenzi as a concubine may not necessarily be humiliating to her!

  However, these words would never be spoken by Qinglian Holy Maiden to Lin Xi and Shangguan Yuxue. These things in the Immortal World are useless. When they reach this realm in the future, they will understand themselves!

  "Lin Xi, although Long Bingyan may not be the most favored one by God's Son. But with her temperament and means, it is only a matter of time. Moreover, as the Goddess, she represents God's Son's face after all. Since you have decided to make an enemy out of Long Bingyan, you should be mentally prepared."

  The Way of the Holy Lotus

  "I understand. Thank you, Sister. This is my personal matter and won't involve anyone else."

  Lin Xi's face was calm, but his heart was turbulent and difficult to calm down.

  "Unexpectedly, Long Bingyan actually had such a background!"

  Although he knew that Long Bingyan had a deep background, he didn't expect it to be this kind of background. This was equivalent to opposing the most powerful person within the Shenyue Sect.

  But then I thought about it again and felt relieved.

  "Haha, what am I thinking? I'm already a person who has died once. Now it's like I've lived an extra life. If I live in fear and timidly, then I might as well be dead. Even if Shenzi is strong, he's still human. Am I supposed to be afraid of him? The reason I can't beat him now is because of time, because my training time was too short. Am I never going to surpass him?"

  Thinking so, Lin Xi's heart also relaxed.

  No big deal, wherever I came from is wherever I'll go! This life will be considered a waste then!

  Shangguan Yaoyue was originally worried about Lin Xi, but after hearing Long Bingyan's background, she was afraid that he would be too shocked and become depressed. However, seeing him quickly regain his composure and return to his usual calm and carefree self, she couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and relief.

  "No wonder Long Bingyan is so exhausted, using every trick in the book, yet still can't get the better of him. With just this temperament and willpower, he's already worthy of a second glance. Compared to Long Bingyan, he may not be anything special now, but if he can make it through this trial, his future accomplishments are boundless. I'll take the opportunity to build some good karma with him, send him some benefits... In the future, it might bring me my own share of benefits too..."

  A strange light flashed in Qinglian Shengnu's eyes, and her ears turned slightly red:

  "Even if he can surpass the tenth level of Qi refining and reach the realm of Xian Dao in the future, it's not impossible for me to become his Xian companion!"
