Chapter 49: Does the Disciple Know His Mistake?

"Uh…" Qi Zixing didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Luo Mingyue asked: "Can I pick this egg?"

Qi Zixing nodded: "Yes, of course... I don't know what kind of egg it is. I wanted to incubate it, but after a hundred years, there is no movement at all."

Luo Mingyue said: "That's perfect, I'll just roast it and feed it to my little...little pet. This egg is full of spiritual energy, eating it will definitely strengthen your body."

Qi Zixing was speechless, "..."

He was a little reluctant to do so. After all, the egg looked like it was made of pure gold and was gleaming with light. It was luxurious and beautiful. Perhaps it could hatch a powerful spiritual beast. Even if it couldn't hatch, it would be nice to display it as a decoration. He didn't expect that Sect Master Luo had such different ideas and actually wanted to eat it.

Qi Zixing was silent for a moment, then said, "Anyway, this egg has been given to Sect Master Luo, you can do whatever you want with it."

His heart was bleeding as he said these words.

After all, Xuanxingmen is a wealthy and powerful family, so they need to spend frugally.

Luo Mingyue put the golden egg into the storage space and said, "Thank you for the hospitality of Master Qi today."

Qi Zixing said, "Master Luo, why don't you take a rest for a night and leave with your disciples tomorrow morning?"

Without waiting for Luo Mingyue to refuse, he added: "It's getting late. There are often huge sea beasts in the sea. It's safer to leave during the day."

Luo Mingyue nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Master Qi."

Qi Zixing arranged a new room for her and placed his three apprentices next to her.

Luo Mingyue had just absorbed all the spiritual energy of the entire island in the afternoon. He didn't want to cause any trouble at night, so he just quietly prepared to go to bed.

As soon as she lay down, she heard a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I found it was Mu Lingyan.

"Master…"

He was dressed in white, with a tall and slender figure and picturesque features.

Mu Lingyan lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully, "Is Master feeling better?"

Luo Mingyue replied: "Very good."

Mu Lingyan raised his eyes to look at her, then lowered his head again, "Master, regarding the whip...it's all my fault."

"Huh?" Luo Mingyue raised her eyebrows in confusion, not understanding why he said that.

Mu Lingyan's voice was dry and his face was ashamed. "Master once said that being whipped was for my own good, but I was young and ignorant at the time. I just thought that Master was punishing me, and I had a deep grudge against Master... I have misunderstood Master for many years. I hope Master will forgive me."

As he said this, he bent his knees and knelt down towards Luo Mingyue.

Eh?

Luo Mingyue racked her brains and began to search her memory. Because the vicious female supporting role had a large brain capacity, it covered many skills and knowledge such as alchemy and refining. As for the memories of her disciples, they were all selectively faded by the vicious female supporting role herself. She didn't even remember the names and appearances of some disciples. Except for the eldest disciple, she didn't seem to care much about other disciples.

Not long after, Luo Mingyue saw from her memory that a five-year-old child was brought up the mountain. This child was naturally Mu Lingyan.

The vicious female partner tested Mu Lingyan's spiritual roots and said softly, "You have a single spiritual root, but the foundation of your spiritual root is very poor. It may take more than ten years or even decades to improve, and the process is very painful. You need to stay in the Qi Refining Stage for many years. Only in this way can you lay a solid foundation and allow you to go further on the road of cultivation in the future."

These heartfelt words were completely like talking to a cow. A five-year-old mortal child, who had just been brought to the mountain, was completely clueless and didn't even know how to read. He had never been exposed to cultivation and had no idea what "spiritual roots" were, let alone what the "Qi Refining Stage" was.

Most importantly, who can remember what they heard when they were five years old?

As we grow older, our memories of the past have long since become blurred.

What's more, the five-year-old Mu Lingyan was a little beggar. He asked timidly: "Sister, I... I can help you work, will you give me food?"

The vicious female partner patted his head with pity, "Yes, I will make sure you are well fed."

The vicious female supporting character is taking care of a child for the first time and is extra dedicated.

When Mu Lingyan was ten years old, the vicious female supporting character felt that it was time to teach the child how to practice, so she used the Soul Freezing Whip.

Mu Lingyan burst into tears and fainted after being whipped only once.

His practice was very difficult, he stumbled a lot, and even absorbing spiritual energy was a struggle for him. The vicious female supporting character would beat him every once in a while.

Gradually, Mu Lingyan finally cultivated to the first level of Qi Refining Stage and became a true immortal cultivator.

During this time, when Mu Lingyan was being beaten, the vicious female supporting role did say, "Lingyan, don't blame me, I did this for your own good."

But the child had long forgotten what he heard when he first came up the mountain. He begged, "Master, I will work hard to cultivate. Please don't hit me. I will be very obedient."

The vicious female supporting role comforted her: "Only if you are patient can you become stronger. Master will not harm you."

Mu Lingyan cried pitifully.

Although he was very grateful for the kindness of the evil master in raising him, but...

After being beaten too many times, even a biological child would have negative emotions, not to mention that Mu Lingyan is not a biological child. The seeds of hatred took root in the heart and grew into a towering tree as he grew older.

When Mu Lingyan was twenty years old, the vicious female supporting character brought back another child, Murong Shi.

Within a few years, he brought back several apprentices with miserable life stories.

These children were left to Mu Lingyan to raise.

The vicious female supporting role was very busy, busy researching various things, but she would remember to beat her apprentices every month. At the beginning, she beat the few children behind her. Later, Mu Lingyan protected them and was reluctant to let them get beaten. The vicious female supporting role thought that Mu Lingyan had the worst aptitude and should indeed be beaten more often, so she followed his wishes.

Later, the disciples had almost grown up, and the vicious female supporting character discovered that they all hated her. She didn't understand where this hatred came from. After all, she had done a good thing by rescuing these children. Even if she had neglected to discipline them, they were at most not close to her. Why did they hate her?

The vicious female supporting character didn't understand, but also felt angry and heartbroken. In addition, she seemed to be studying a magical artifact, which was a book. The book seemed to be stained with an ominous curse, causing the vicious female supporting character to become more and more crazy, and her behavior began to become outrageous. She often beat and scolded her apprentices.

My memory of what happened afterwards is a little vague, and the whereabouts of the artifact is unknown.

Next, Luo Mingyue traveled through time and took over the identity of the vicious female supporting role.

Luo Mingyue: "…"

She thought Mu Lingyan was born with excellent spiritual roots, after all, he was the male protagonist, but who would have thought that he was beaten...

Luo Mingyue was in mixed emotions and felt her mind was a little confused.

Mu Lingyan knelt there, waiting for Luo Mingyue's response for a long time, and his heart gradually sank.

He shouted: "Master..."
