"The correct statement is that there was an unknown powerful practitioner who killed all the strange beasts."
"An unknown... powerful cultivator?" Mi Fu's eyes widened slightly.
Immediately, he was startled and seemed to have thought of something.
"Is it that one?"
"It's not Xiao He. He is tied to our Mi family's thousand-year-old sacred tree by my soul-binding chain. It is impossible for him to come out from the second level." Mi Qing shook his head again, then squatted down and pinched a small piece of wood with his right thumb and index finger.
A pinch of black ashes.
"If it's not Xiao He, who could it be?" Mi Fu looked at the black ashes in Mi Qing's hand and asked, "Master, can you determine the identity of this mysterious cultivator based on the remaining magic power?"
"No, but..."
After Mi Qing scattered the black ashes in his hand, a look of shock gradually appeared in his eyes.
"This mysterious cultivator's magic power is very likely to be greater than mine!"
"What?" Mi Fu was completely shocked, "Master, your magic power was condensed after awakening the thousand-year blood heritage of our Mi family. How could it be possible?"
"I can't believe it either, but it's true. I'm afraid there's an extremely powerful person coming to Bixuwu." Mi Qing's tone became more and more solemn.
A foundation-building practitioner with extraordinary magic power entered Bixuwu, and no one in the Mi family noticed it. This was an extremely serious matter.
Mi Fu also immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and he had a guess: "Could it be related to the thief last night?"
"We can't say for sure yet."
Mi Qing said, looking at the mirror leading to the second floor.
"This mysterious cultivator definitely didn't come to Shuiyue Cave for a few Shuiyue grasses. I suspect that this person came to find Xiao He."
"Then let's quickly go to the second floor and take a look!"
Mi Fu was anxious and was the first to enter the huge mirror in front.
Mi Qing followed closely, but he was not very worried that Xiao He would be rescued by the mysterious cultivator.
Because there is only one entrance to Shuiyue Cave, if a mysterious practitioner comes to save people, he will definitely come out through the entrance in the end.
However, Mi Qing did not sense that the mysterious cultivator was hiding somewhere on the first floor.
In other words, this person is probably still on the second level.
After entering the second floor through the mirror, Mi Qing held Mi Fu's shoulders and reminded in a deep voice: "Be careful, that person may be lurking on the second floor."
Mi Fu nodded, and he and Mi Qing walked toward the black dead wood while carefully looking at their surroundings.
After a while, the two came to the tall black dead tree.
Seeing that Xiao He was still tied to the dead tree, the two family heads secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But they still dare not let down their guard.
"Xiao He, did you ask someone to rescue you?" Mi Qing asked coldly.
Under the withered tree, the unkempt man raised his head and looked at Mi Qing and Mi Fu with indifferent eyes without saying a word.
"Why don't you answer when our master asks you something?" Seeing Xiao He's appearance, Mi Fu couldn't help but be on guard secretly.
Xiao He suddenly laughed: "I have been imprisoned by you for more than ten years, who else can come to save me? Mi Qing, aren't you just talking nonsense?"
Mi Qing was used to Xiao He's bad temper.
Suddenly, the five fingers of his right hand grasped the air, and the soul-binding lock on Xiao He's body continued to tighten.
During this process, Xiao He was obviously in great pain, but he did not make a sound. It was obvious that he had very strong endurance.
"Answer honestly, and you'll save yourself some trouble." Mi Qing said expressionlessly.
Xiao He snorted coldly: "You might as well kill me, I would rather die than stay in such a ghost place!"
Seeing Xiao He being so stubborn, Mi Qing controlled the soul-binding lock to open and stopped torturing Xiao He.
Then Mi Qing and Mi Fu looked at each other, and both of them thought that Xiao He probably didn't know about the existence of the mysterious cultivator.
"Check again."
To be conservative, Mi Qing went over to check if there was anything unusual about Xiao He.
Mi Fu walked around the second floor of Shuiyue Cave.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Mi Fu returned to the entrance of the second floor. When he saw Mi Qing, he shook his head and said there was nothing unusual.
"Perhaps a certain powerful person is interested in our Mi family's forbidden land, so he came in to take a look."
Mi Fu's guess was not approved by Mi Qing.
"I don't think so. The mysterious cultivator must have an agenda when he comes to Shuiyue Cave, or he has other ways to get out. We must search carefully in Bixuwu next, but don't alert the younger members of the family."
Mi Fu nodded and followed Mi Qing to leave the second floor.
…
That night, Chen Xuan returned to the room and directly used his unique medical skills to treat Tang Qiuling's injuries.
Tang Bei and Mi Ning looked on with concern.
With Chen Xuan's medical skills, the wound on Tang Qiuling's left arm was quickly cured.
"Chen Xuan, thank you so much today. I didn't expect your medical skills to be so good." Mi Ning said to Chen Xuan with gratitude.
Chen Xuan said calmly: "Aunt Mi, the exclusiveness of the Mi family is too strong. Seeing that Qiu Ling is so outstanding, those members of the family joined forces to besiege her in Shuiyue Cave. I think even if she enters our family, she will be subject to it in the future.
Excluded.”
Hearing what Chen Xuan said, Tang Bei and Mi Ning both looked worried.
But Mi Ning wanted to fulfill her father's last wish, so she still had luck: "The first and second heads of the Mi family are very fair and selfless. With Qiu Ling's talent so high, they should take Qiu Ling seriously and not let Qiu Ling be used by other members of the family.
The children bully me, and Chen Xuan, you can also enter the Mi family. When the time comes, you will take care of Qiu Ling, and there will be no problem at all."
Speaking of this, a look of anticipation appeared in Mi Ning's eyes.
She really hopes that Chen Xuan will become a member of the Mi family.
After all, the Mi family is a millennium-old family, and it is an honor to be a member of the Mi family.
Chen Xuan shook his head: "It is impossible for me to enter the Mi family. Auntie, you don't have to say it anymore. Let Qiuling have a good rest tonight. She will participate in the martial arts competition tomorrow."
"Okay, Qiu Ling, you can go to bed early after dinner." Mi Ning looked at her daughter's face lovingly and said.
Tang Qiuling hummed, and just then the Mi family's servant brought dinner.
After Chen Xuan and Tang Qiuling's family finished dinner, a very pure-looking girl walked in outside.
Both Chen Xuan and Tang Qiuling recognized this girl's face. She was one of the members of the family who participated in the trial today.
"Uncle Tang, Aunt Mi, Sister Qiuling, and Brother Chen Xuan, hello." The girl was very polite as soon as she entered the door and greeted the four of them first.
Seeing that this girl had no airs like the eldest lady of the family, Mi Ning immediately felt fond of her: "Hello, girl, why did you come to us?"
