I heard that the emperor had a cub

Chapter 21

"Hi, little one." In the gazebo when he first met, Chang Qing gave such an evaluation to Xuan Zhao.

At that time, Xuan Zhao corrected him solemnly with a small face: "I am 520 three years old."

Changqing still finds it funny: "That's the age of a child, you and I are now 14 years old, enough to be your ancestors."

Xuan Zhao retorted: "I have no ancestors, nor parents."

Changqing spread his hands and said, "Okay, you jumped out of the rock, didn't you?"

Xuan Zhao shook his head again: "I came out of the altar out of thin air."

"You are so interesting. I just said something casually, and you told the whole story about yourself." Changqing raised his hand and rubbed Xuanzhao's head, then asked softly: "My name is Changqing, Xiao Fairy what's your name?"

"Xuan Zhao." After blurting out this answer, Xuan Zhao came to his senses and looked at Chang Qing nervously: "I said my name, will you put me in the jug?"

Changqing couldn't stop laughing: "Who told you such a thing?"

Xuan Zhao: "Master told me that the mountain spirit will catch people who know their names and put them into the pot."

Chang Qing: "Your master is really an interesting guy."

After a short pause, Chang Qing raised his eyebrows again and said, "Do you really think of me as a mountain spirit?"

As he spoke, he lightly flicked Xuan Zhao's forehead.

Xuan Zhao let out a soft cry from the pain, raised his head to look at Chang Qing, and while the other party wasn't paying attention, he ruthlessly attacked Chang Qing with seals in his hands.

Although Chang Qing seemed unprepared, he reacted quite quickly. Xuan Zhao's attack had just started, and he was stopped by him. By the way, he held Xuan Zhao's hand from behind, so that the latter continued to attack. thought.

Xuan Zhao was restrained by him, unable to move, and panicked instantly: "What are you doing!"

Chang Qing lifted him up easily, saw his short limbs struggling in the air, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I'm still a child, no matter how strong I am, I don't know how to use it correctly. Did your master tell you?" But you, against an opponent who doesn't know the depth, don't rush to shoot?"

Xuan Zhao glared at him angrily, although he was not convinced, he also knew that he was no longer his opponent.

Changqing didn't really make things difficult for Xuanzhao, and after wantonly kneading his face for a while, he put him down: "Let's go, I'm not interested in bullying children. No one told you about this back mountain Can't you just come to the forbidden area, don't disturb my rest next time."

Xuan Zhao really didn't know what forbidden place this was, but thanks to this person, after he was thrown out, he fell directly in front of Xuan Xiao who came to look for someone.

So Xuan Zhao, who failed to run away from home, was carried back to the fairy school by God Xuan Xiao.

However, although Changqing told Xuanzhao not to bother him anymore, Xuanzhao missed Changqing because of this defeat.

Xuanzhao's strength is innate, he has almost never lost a fight since he was a child, even his master Xuan Xiaoshangshen, in fact, can't beat him, what he lacks is only the method of using divine power.

Changqing was the first god to make him lose a battle. Not only did he lose, but he also lost in a very ugly way, with no power to fight back.

Xuanzhao couldn't accept such a result, so he ignored Changqing's statement, after practicing diligently, he sneaked up to the back mountain next month.

Undoubtedly, Xuan Zhao was once again defeated by Chang Qing's men, and this time he took two snaps of the fingers again, and his forehead turned red.

But Xuan Zhao still refused to give up.

In the next few months, he ran to Changqing every day. Although he lost every time, his strength has improved a lot in the long run, and the time for each fight has become longer.

Changqing didn't annoy him either, although he laughed at him every time and said he didn't want to play with him anymore, but every time Xuanzhao came, he still treated him as his training partner.

Xuan Zhao is not stupid, he is just younger and sees few things.

But after so many fights, no matter how dull he is, he should be able to see that Changqing has no malice towards him at all, and he doesn't look like a mountain spirit. His strength is stronger than everyone Xuanzhao has ever seen , and every time he competed, he would mention Xuanzhao intentionally or unintentionally.

Although the way of pointing out the points is annoying, and this guy always deliberately teases him, this person is by no means a bad person.

Xuan Zhao and Chang Qing began to develop a strange tacit understanding, and the number of times the two met gradually increased, mainly because Xuan Zhao ran to the back of the mountain every day.

Later, Changqing simply said to Xuanzhao: "Since you like to pester me so much, why don't you just recognize me as your father?"

Changqing was quite satisfied with his proposal: "It happens that I don't have a son, and you don't have parents, so it's not good for you to follow your master all the time. Why don't you be my son, and I can tease you every day... well, I will take care of you every day, and give you advice every day." You don't have to cause trouble for Xuan Xiao all day long about your cultivation, what do you think?"

For such a proposal, Xuan Zhao shook his head and refused without thinking: "No."

Changqing asked curiously, "Why?"

He continued to try to persuade: "You know, according to our age, I think I'm too old to be your great-grandfather. You've already taken advantage of me by accepting you as your son. In the future, all the immortals in the sky will be your juniors."

Xuan Zhao insisted and refused to agree: "No, I don't want to be a son."

Changqing then followed his words and asked: "Well, what do you want, tell me, and I'll think about it or not."

Xuan Zhao looked up at him, and asked suspiciously: "Aren't we friends? Master told me that two people get along happily together, and those who share the same interests are friends, aren't they?"

He asked such a question as a matter of course, but Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed loudly: "Okay, so you have always thought this way."

Xuan Zhao didn't understand what he was laughing at: "Is it strange for me to think so?"

Changqing waved his hand and said, "No, it's quite interesting."

He smiled more and more, then nodded and agreed: "In this case, we will be friends from now on, but you look more and more like an old friend like me."

As he said this, Xuan Zhao couldn't help asking: "What old friend?"

Changqing blinked and confused the past: "It's nothing, just talking casually."

Since then, Xuan Zhao and Chang Qing have officially become friends across ages.

Of course, it was also hundreds of years later that Xuan Zhao finally learned of Changqing's true identity, and knew that the other party had not deceived himself in terms of age, and that he was really the immortal who lived the longest in the entire God Realm.

And it was only at this time that he realized that everyone in the entire God Realm respected Changqing when they saw Changqing, even more respectful than the emperor in charge of the God Realm.Changqing is also the only ancient true god in the God Realm, and his status is indeed a head higher than all the gods.

Xuanzhao is the only one who dares to call each other friends with Changqing.

So whenever Xuan Zhao called Changqing's name directly, without even using the word "true god", the people around would be frightened to a certain extent.

Of course, these things have been in the past for a long time.

Xuan Zhao slowly came back to his senses from the memories of many years ago, even he couldn't figure out why he would suddenly think of what happened when the two just met so long ago.

At that time, he was still immature, and he said many things that were not in his head. Thinking about it now, Xuan Zhao only felt ashamed.

After so many years, he is no longer the reckless person he was at the beginning.

Compared with his own changes, Changqing seems to have not changed at all in the past tens of thousands of years, and it is still the same as when we first met.

Time seemed to have stopped on him, making him never change.

But also because of this memory, Xuan Zhao suddenly noticed some details that he had never noticed before.

He just remembered that at that time Changqing never seemed to ask him about his background, nor would he inquire about other things about him, but he seemed to have known everything about himself.

Or, in fact, he should put it another way. Changqing was originally aimed at him in the first place?

is it possible?

Xuan Zhao temporarily suppressed this thought, and looked up at Chang Qing by the window.

Chang Qing seemed to be dozing off at first, but when he noticed Xuan Zhao's gaze, he touched his cheek and asked, "What? Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me so suddenly?"

Xuan Zhao said calmly, "I suddenly remembered what happened when we first met."

Changqing became a little interested and asked, "What did you think of that time?"

Xuan Zhao: "Remember when you insisted on accepting me as your son."

Changqing never thought that he would bring up such old things, he coughed and almost didn't hold the teacup in his hand, he turned his head to look at Xuan Zhao's serious expression, and said quickly: "When did that happen, Don't mention it any more."

Xuan Zhao asked blankly, "Do you still think so?"

"No, no matter what I say, I can't recognize you as my son." Changqing rarely had such a time, and even to show his determination, he paused and said, "Absolutely not."

Xuan Zhao couldn't help laughing.

He didn't expect Changqing to have such a time, he stared at Changqing's appearance with a smile, and Changqing knew that he was just talking nonsense when he saw this.

Changqing sighed and rubbed his forehead: "You can even say such jokes?"

Xuan Zhao shook his head and said: "I'm not joking, I'm just thinking about something. When we first met, you said that I look like an old friend of yours. Who is that person? Is it a senior from the ancient fairy world?"

Changqing lowered his eyes slightly, his expression could not be seen by Xuan Zhao, he chuckled before saying, "Yes, a friend from long ago."

Xuan Zhao asked again: "That one is the one in Tianguang Pavilion..."

"Old people are very forgetful. I have almost forgotten all the questions you asked. If I ask any more questions, I will have a headache." Chang Qing said jokingly, "You have to be considerate of an older person like me."

Xuan Zhao: "..."

Changqing really avoided these questions and concealed some truths.

Xuan Zhao stopped making useless temptations, and continued to deal with the affairs in front of him.

When he was almost done with it, the sky was completely dark. When a bottle of Xianlu was placed in front of him, he raised his head and found that Chang Qing was pointing at the Xianlu, beckoning him to drink it.

Immortals don't need food, but since they found out that they have immortal fetuses, Xuanzhao will be stared at by various people and drink fairy dew every day, in order to provide more divine power for the growth of immortal fetuses.

Seeing that it was impossible to escape, Xuan Zhao could only bite the bullet and drank the sweet fairy dew.

Changqing smiled and said: "It's not for the fairy fetus, it's for yourself. You must know that the fairy fetus should be supported by both parents with divine power. Now you can't find the other relative of the fairy fetus, so you can only provide the divine power by yourself. , if you don’t add more divine power, it will be very hard in the later stage.”

When he said this, he inevitably brought up the question that troubled everyone.

Going around seems to go back again.

Who is the biological father or mother of the fairy fetus?

Xuan Zhao frowned and lowered his head in deep thought, while Chang Qing asked again: "About this, do you have any thoughts?"

Changqing has asked this question many times. He seems to be quite keen on watching this excitement, asking about the progress of Xuanzhao's investigation every day, but this time his purpose of asking is different.

Xuan Zhao shook his head and said, "No results have been found yet, so I want to go to Wen Yu and the others to investigate again."

As soon as he said this, Changqing had already said: "In fact, even if you can't find it, it doesn't matter."

Xuan Zhao was surprised by Chang Qing's change of words. You must know that Chang Qing a few days ago would never have said such a thing. Ask for results.

But now he took the initiative to persuade Xuan Zhao to give up?

Xuan Zhao asked puzzled, "Why?"

Changqing sat down in front of Xuanzhao, and said in a serious manner: "Since you can take care of the fairy fetus yourself, it is not so important to find another father or mother of the fairy fetus, isn't it? What's more, the current candidates , doesn’t seem like such a reliable guy, does he?”

This is still very rare, Xuanzhao actually heard Chang Qing say quite impulsive words.

It seems that Changqing doesn't want Xuanzhao to find the person who combined with him to produce a fairy fetus.

After only a few days, his mind seemed to have changed.

Xuan Zhao didn't know the reason for his change, but he shook his head and didn't agree with Chang Qing's opinion, he just said: "I still want to find that person, the fairy fetus doesn't need him to take any responsibility, as a Dijun, I don't need anyone to take care of me, but I care a little..."

He stared at Changqing, and said with a serious expression: "I know that only two people who combine with each other can truly form a fairy fetus. Since I will have this fairy fetus now, it means that I am in the illusion. Somebody fell in love with each other."

Following Xuan Zhao's words, Chang Qing slightly raised the corners of his lips.

Changqing's smile was very gentle, and he looked the same as usual, but there seemed to be no smile in his eyes.

Instead, he felt a little cold for no reason.

Xuan Zhao noticed his expression and asked, "Is there any problem with what I just said?"

Changqing smiled and shook his head: "Of course not, you are right."

Xuan Zhao lowered his eyes and continued: "So I really want to know who that person is and what happened to him in the illusion. The memory of God cannot be easily manipulated, but why do I forget this? something that happened over a period of time."

To figure out all the unknowns and never let things pass in a daze, this is Xuan Zhao's idea, and he has always done this.

He wants to know the whole thing, every past should have the value of his existence.

After Xuan Zhao finished speaking, he noticed that Chang Qing was staring at him with eyes he had never seen before.

Before Xuanzhao could ask any more questions, Changqing had already smiled and said, "I understand, since that's the case, let me also help you find that person."

Xuan Zhao was a little surprised: "Are you here to help?"

Chang Qing then analyzed: "You see that you are so busy every day, and you still have to rest and recuperate, and the time for investigation is squeezed out. Since this is inconvenient, why don't you let me help you investigate, or do you not trust me? "

Xuan Zhao has only one answer at any time: "I believe in you."

He was just a little surprised: "Why do you suddenly want to check this matter for me?"

Changqing smiled as if he had no intentions: "Because I am becoming more and more curious about who has the ability to do such a thing, so that our emperor is also sincerely moved."

Although he said so, but for some reason, Xuan Zhao felt faintly that this was not a friendly tone.

But since he said he believed in Changqing, he would never doubt anything again. What Changqing said was very reasonable, and he didn't ask any more questions: "Then I will trouble you. After I finish my work, I will investigate with you."

·

Xuan Zhao originally thought that after Changqing took over this matter, he would slowly start an investigation.

After all, Xuanzhao already knew Changqing's character. After so many years of knowing each other, no matter what happened in the God Realm, Changqing would always be in the position of watching the excitement. Meaning to help in the slightest.

He will avoid all troubles that can be avoided in advance. His biggest hobby every day is to sit and drink or find a comfortable place to rest with his eyes closed.

In short, it is not a diligent temperament.

But this time, it was very surprising that after Changqing offered to investigate the truth for Xuanzhao, Changqing did not come to Xingji Temple again the next day.

It seems that he really went to investigate.

Although Xuan Zhao felt that Changqing's initiative was a bit suspicious, but there were indeed many things to deal with before him, so he couldn't spare more energy to think about Changqing's affairs.

But as time went by, Xuan Zhao's doubts became deeper and deeper.

The next day, Changqing still did not come to Xingji Hall.

Neither did the third day.

For the next few days, Changqing seemed to disappear and never came to see Xuanzhao again.

On the seventh day, Xuan Zhao finally dealt with a lot of things that had suddenly increased due to the intrusion of monsters from the top of the Ten Thousand Ridges, and then he left his servant Xiaoxian who followed him, and came to the fairy island of Changqing on his own initiative. above.

Xuan Zhao rarely came to Changqing's residence.

Although Changqing often came to him, and the relationship between the two was indeed very good, most of the time it was Changqing who came to Xingji Hall on his own initiative.

The reason is very simple. Changqing said that he rarely stays in his residence, and there is nothing to entertain others there. It is better to let Xuanzhao wait for him in Xingji Hall, and he will come by himself whenever he wants to.

Xuan Zhao guessed that he probably had a reason for not wanting people to approach his residence, so he rarely came over the years.

When he came here this time, Xuan Zhaocai unexpectedly found that this place looked much more depressed than the original impression.

Changqing seldom returns to his residence, and of course he seldom spends energy on taking care of it. It can be seen that he doesn't care about himself, and naturally he doesn't care about the environment.

Xuan Zhao came to the shabby hut, knocked on the door and found no one responded.

He pushed the door open and went in, only to see an empty room.

The inside of the room was surprisingly shabby, and it didn't look like a true god's residence at all. Many books were also placed on the table in a mess, and it seemed that no one had tidied them up at all.

Xuan Zhao couldn't see it, so during the waiting period, he simply took the initiative to clean up for the other party.

It was still a long time, and after Xuanzhao cleaned up the room, he sat down at the table again, preparing to wait slowly for the other party.

As night fell, Xuanzhao used magic to light up the lamp in the corner. Under the dim light, he randomly took out a book from Changqing's bookshelf and read it.

Changqing’s books were handed down from unknown ages, and there were some characters in the books that Xuan Zhao had never seen before. This was a book related to formation techniques. Xuan Zhao was so engrossed in reading it that he forgot where he was .

It wasn't until a voice came from behind that he suddenly came back to his senses.

"If you like it, you can take it back and read it. Anyway, I have already seen it, and it will also accumulate dust here."

Xuan Zhao raised his head and closed the book, meeting Chang Qing's eyes.

Changqing's body was covered with dust, and it could be seen that he had been traveling outside all day and had just returned from a distant place.

Xuan Zhao asked, "Going to investigate?"

While talking, he got up to pour tea for Changqing. Seeing that Changqing was reaching out to get the wine on the table, Xuanzhao stared at him calmly and said, "I can only drink tea. If you are so tired, don't touch the wine." gone."

Although no one is qualified to discipline Chang Qing, the oldest elder in the entire God Realm, at this time, the old ancestor really obediently withdrew his hand and took the hot tea from Xuan Zhao.

He took a sip of his tea and couldn't help laughing: "I was surprised when I came back and saw that the island had been cleaned up."

"But think about it carefully, you are probably the only one who will come here."

The relationship between the two was extremely natural, although Xuan Zhao rarely came here, but he blended into the environment quite naturally, and the two chatted as usual in Xingji Temple.

Xuan Zhao asked, "Have you gone to investigate?"

Chang Qing nodded: "Of course."

Xuan Zhao: "Have you found any useful information?"

Changqing frowned and thought about it seriously, as if he had something to say, but finally shook his head: "Forget it, until I find out information that I think is completely reliable, I'd better not tell you, so as not to distract you."

He was probably really tired. After drinking the tea in the cup, he stretched out his hand again, and Xuan Zhao naturally refilled it for him.

Changqing stared at his action of pouring tea, seemed to be in a daze, and didn't make any sound or other actions for a long time.

Xuan Zhao wondered, "What's wrong?"

Changqing chuckled: "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something else, it's not very important."

Xuan Zhao thought it was some kind of information, so he continued to ask: "What is it, it doesn't matter if you tell me in advance."

"Do you really want to say it?" Although Changqing asked, he seemed to have no hesitation. He looked at Xuanzhao with a serious look, nodded and said, "You took care of the fairy island for me, and then It's cleaning and serving tea, I'm thinking that the four characters of gentleness and virtuousness are just right for you."

Xuan Zhao: "..."

He didn't expect that he was concentrating on thinking about the problem, but Chang Qing's thoughts had drifted far away.

Fortunately, Changqing's teasing stopped here, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, since I promised to investigate, I will definitely find out the results, but after that, I hope..."

At this point in his words, he seemed to have thought of something again, and suddenly stopped continuing.

"What do you want?" Xuan Zhao asked.

"It's nothing, I hope this process will go smoothly." Changqing covered the unfinished words with such words.

Changqing seems to be hiding more and more things recently, Xuan Zhao thought.

"Although we need to investigate, don't make too much noise." Xuan Zhao said worriedly.

Changqing naturally agreed immediately.

·

Unfortunately, Changqing's guarantee does not seem to be very effective.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xuan Zhao saw You Hao rushing in with scars on his face at the gate of Xingji Hall.

You Hao looked quite panicked, as if he had just experienced some terrible torture, which made him completely insecure about the surrounding environment.Until Xuanzhao brought him to the inner hall of Xingji Temple, he was still holding on to Xuanzhao's sleeve tightly, panicking like a small animal.

Xuan Zhao comforted the other party patiently, and when he regained his senses a little, he calmly asked, "What happened?"

Xuan Zhao took it for granted that You Hao had encountered a serious event. After all, as Emperor You Hao, not many people should be able to hurt him, and even caused him such a great mental trauma.

Maybe it has something to do with the group of monsters on the top of Wanling.

Just when Xuanzhao was thinking this way, You Hao tremblingly said the chief culprit of this incident: "It is...it is the True God of Changqing..."

Xuan Zhao thought that he had heard wrong in an instant: "What?"

You Hao whimpered, and said rather miserablely: "Changqing True God, he...he did something terrible to me..."

While You Hao was choking and saying these words, a voice with a gentle smile came from behind the two of them: "I trained him quite reliably."

Xuan Zhao felt that You Hao's body beside him froze for a moment, then he turned his head and saw that Chang Qing had arrived in Xingji Hall at some time, and was sitting in a familiar position by the window.

Xuan Zhao rubbed his forehead and asked, "What happened?"

Chang Qing explained very proactively: "Actually, it's nothing serious. I just think that he is not strong enough as the emperor now, so I kindly helped him train."

You Hao: "Woo..."

He was eager to refute, but Changqing had already looked at him with a smile in advance, and asked aloud: "You Hao, do you think so?"

You Hao let out a "woo" again, and nodded in submission: "That's right."

Xuan Zhao: "..."

People who don't usually cause trouble, once they really cause trouble, it is quite difficult to control.

For the first time, Xuan Zhao had a deep understanding of this sentence.

If he really can't see that Changqing bullied You Hao, he might be really blind, but he really can't think of a reason why Changqing would do such a thing. Children who have just entered the fairy school are playing around.

Xuan Zhao could only take You Hao aside first, and only after Chang Qing was no longer around, he asked him again: "What did Chang Qing do?"

You Hao looked around, and after making sure that Changqing was not around, he finally whispered: "The True God of Changqing suddenly came to the palace to look for me today, saying that he wanted to test me..."

Xuan Zhao paused when he heard him, so he frowned and continued to ask, "Test you?"

You Hao seemed a little embarrassed, but in the end he blushed and hesitated and said: "It is said to test whether my feelings for you are true or not."

Xuan Zhao never imagined that the final truth would be like this.

He was a little speechless, but still asked: "Then?"

You Hao said with a bitter face: "The True God of Changqing said that he is trying to find a way to investigate who is the real father or mother of the fairy fetus, and the reason why the fairy fetus will be formed is because the two are in love with each other. Although you Bian has already lost his memory in the illusion, and he doesn't know who he fell in love with, but as long as he finds out who is really in love with you, the result can be determined."

Xuan Zhao: "So he..."

You Hao nodded: "He said that only those who are determined enough to not back down even in the face of severe beatings can be said to be sincere to you."

Xuan Zhao: "..."

Although this sounded like this, based on Xuan Zhao's understanding of Changqing, he always felt that this person was just looking for a reason to beat him up.

With Changqing's fighting power, it doesn't take much effort to beat You Hao.

Xuan Zhao heard what happened to You Hao, but he couldn't tell him the truth, and he didn't know what Chang Qing was planning.

In the end, he could only comfort You Hao for a while before sending You Hao back.

Xuan Zhao originally planned to ask Changqing about his plans after returning to the room, but after he returned, he found that Changqing, who was coming and going like the wind, had disappeared.

But things didn't end there.

In the next few days, Changqing caused new problems one after another.

Not two days after You Hao went back, Zhaoli came to Xuanzhao with injuries all over his body, saying that he was beaten by the God of Changqing, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter that he has rough skin and thick flesh, he came here The purpose of this is just to tell Xuan Zhao that he has already felt the painstaking efforts of the True God Changqing, and he thinks that the True God Changqing is seriously testing him to see if he is qualified to be trusted by Xuan Zhao.

"Don't worry, no matter what situation I face, I will not back down easily."

After swearing so earnestly, Zhao Li limped out of Xingji Hall with scars all over his body.

Only Xuan Zhao was left, who was full of words and didn't know where to start.

Not long after Zhao left, Yun Ping also came over cursing.

He first sat in Xingji Hall without making a sound, and after staring at Xuan Zhao angrily for a long time, he pointed at him and shouted: "Let me tell you, I didn't make a sound when I was tortured by the Changqing True God, not because I really How much I like you! I just don’t want to admit defeat! You’d better not have any more thoughts!”

After such an unexplained scolding, Yun Ping also hurriedly left Xingji Hall.

Xuan Zhao couldn't say the first half of a sentence from the beginning to the end, and he didn't understand what the other party was talking about at all.

But these are not the end.

Within two days, Xuan Zhao ran into Wen Yu, who was covered in wounds, rushing into Xingji Hall.

Because he has seen too many such scenes, Xuan Zhao has not been so surprised recently. He helped Wen Yu unhurriedly, and after making him sit on the chair, he took the initiative to ask: "What about Changqing?" Things, I will ask him, you..."

Wen Yu was taken aback when he heard his words, and asked in puzzlement, "Changqing True God? What's wrong with his old man?"
