Calm Hall.
This place is located deep within Divine Mist Valley, a significant area for the Mao Family.
Because, behind Calm Hall is the legendary Heart Slaughter Cave.
Speaking of Heart Slaughter Cave and the Mao Family, there is quite a legendary story there.
It is said that the Mao Family ancestors hailed from Qi Kingdom and were once a prominent family.
But no matter how prosperous a family is, there cos a day of decline.
Due to various reasons, the family was broken and its mbers perished.
The Mao Family ancestor was chased to Moon Rhinoceros Lake, accidentally fell off a cliff, and eventually stumbled upon a fog-shrouded valley called Divine Mist Valley.
He found that Divine Mist Valley had been covered with so kind of concealing Qi maze array.
Thus, hundreds of years passed with no one discovering this place.
Until that day, the grand array of Divine Mist Valley gradually deteriorated, providing him an opportunity.
Inside Divine Mist Valley, there is a cave filled with chilling Sword Qi, transford into a Secret Realm.
The Mao Family ancestor obtained the Seven Luminaries Soul Nourishing Technique and a Second Tier Top Grade Flying Sword from the Heart Slaughter Cave.
From then on, the Mao Family ancestor used this place to recuperate, gradually repairing the grand array. Because of the ancestral lessons, the ancestor specifically ordered descendants not to stir trouble and to cultivate in seclusion within Divine Mist Valley.
At this mont, inside Calm Hall.
Qing Jun sat cross-legged, feeling extrely bored, on a ditation cushion.
In front of her was a scroll of Mao Family ancestral teachings, but she couldn’t focus on a single word.
"Hmph, what calm... so boring!"
The little girl muttered, secretly lifted her eyelids, and glanced at the ditating middle-aged nun not far away.
These days, she was commanded to ditate, recite scriptures, wash hands, and burn incense here.
To her active nature, it was worse than death.
Moreover,
Just go to Heart Slaughter Cave already!
Why do we have to read Mao Family ancestral teachings?
"Stupid master... bad master... it’s all your fault..."
She cursed Chen Ye in her heart a thousand tis.
If it weren’t for her master’s insistence, she wouldn’t be enduring this suffering.
Taking advantage of the middle-aged nun’s ditative state, the little girl quietly activated the Supre Emotion Crossing Technique.
"Eeek!!!"
Qing Jun was shocked!
How had the body she carefully nurtured for her master suddenly reverted to its previous state?
"Xu Qingjun!"
The nun’s eyes opened, seeing her not only failing to cultivate but also showing varied expressions of shock and anger, lastly revealing a hint of killing intent, imdiately stopped her sternly.
"Your mind is unsettled, thoughts chaotic! Is this the result of your calm cultivation? Copy the Mao Family ancestral teachings ten tis as punishnt!"
The nun’s na is Mao Yanyu, with cultivation in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishnt, and is an instructor of the Mao Family.
It can be said that all Mao Family disciples have been taught by her.
Mao Yanyu administers punishnts within the family, with a stern and strict personality, rarely smiling.
The younger generation of disciples, upon seeing her, all avoid her fearfully, making a detour.
And now, in Lingyin Sect, the only Mao Family disciple roaming outside, Mao Songli, is her biological daughter.
As for why her surna is Mao... it is because Mao Songli’s father married into the Mao family.
Qing Jun returned to her senses, t the sharp and cold eyes of Mao Yanyu, and beca even angrier!
She had painstakingly "crafted" her master, only to be tampered with, and now this old nun ca to scold her?
"Calm cultivation?"
The little girl put her hands on her hips, confidently retorted,
"Old nun! I ca here to enter Heart Slaughter Cave for opportunities, not to beco a disciple of your Mao Family. What do the Mao Family ancestral teachings have to do with ? Could it be that the Sword Qi in Heart Slaughter Cave recognizes Mao Family characters?"
Mao Yanyu was taken aback by her bold words, her face instantly darkened:
"Insolent! Heart Slaughter Cave is my Mao Family’s ancestral land, and anyone entering the cave must first honor the ancestors with calm cultivation as a mark of respect for the ancestors and the opportunities!"
"Senior’s words are quite strange. I’ve heard that Heart Slaughter Cave was ford naturally or left by so great power, existing long before the Mao Family ancestors found it. The Mao Family ancestor gained opportunities due to his ability; setting rules for his descendants is understandable. But I am not a descendant of the Mao Family, why should I follow your family’s rules? Besides, Heart Slaughter Cave tests resilience, divine soul strength, relying on one’s own abilities; how can reading a few scrolls of ancestral teachings guarantee lenience from Sword Qi?"
Qing Jun’s argunt was coherent, her long eyes slightly squinted, her tone aggressive.
Actually.
The little girl knew that joining the Mao Family and abiding by its rules was reasonable.
But why should she follow it just because it’s reasonable?
This type of Xu Qingjun wouldn’t be the daring Xu Qingjun capable of crafting her master.
She was already unhappy, so of course she wanted to vent!
"You... you are being unreasonable!"
Mao Yanyu was left speechless by her words, trembling with anger.
This cheeky little girl had sharp words, each hitting the mark.
Indeed, Heart Slaughter Cave wasn’t solely a Mao Family creation, and entering the cave relied on skill and character, not familiarity with Mao Family ancestral teachings.
The family head had her co to teach, believing she was an obedient or spoiled child who could be controlled with a little intimidation, but she turned out to be such a troubleso little demon!
"I’m rely speaking the truth. Besides, I’m here to cultivate, so why do you always make learn Mao Family ancestral teachings?"
Qing Jun spread her small hands, her cute face full of innocence,
"If you think what I say is wrong, feel free to point it out. If you think my mind isn’t strong enough for the cave, I’ll leave now and spare your precious land from being tarnished."
With that, she pretended to walk out.
Only, although the little girl acted arrogantly, she was very keen on gauging people.
Hmph...
She is Mao Qingzhu’s "daughter," Mao Cheng’s only descendant.
Entering Heart Slaughter Cave was permitted by Mao Cheng himself, also supported by the elders of the Mao Family, including Mao Yanyu.
