Just now, Shi Ningjun had revealed Yi Tian's background, causing the atmosphere in the cabin to become somewhat heavy for a while. Immediately after, the two did not speak and only picked up the wine cup in front of them and drank.
Every time, it was Yi Tian who poured wine for the other and then made a gesture of invitation. Shi Ningjun also did not hold back and reached out to raise the wine cup and slowly drank it into his stomach. He was not afraid of anything strange about the wine.
After drinking more than ten times, the two did not show any signs of drunkenness. After refining the spiritual power in the wine, Shi Ningjun burped and said, "I've had enough. Little Yi, help yourself." After a while, as if talking to himself, he said, "My biggest wish in life is to see Qianwei be able to find a dao companion and continue the Shi family's bloodline."
Yi Tian put down the wine pot in his hand and said faintly, "I heard that the Thousand Spirit Sect had a young talent from the Gu family who once had an engagement with Shi Qianwei. I just don't know what happened afterwards."
Speaking up to here, Shi Ningjun's originally squinted eyes suddenly opened and stared straight at Yi Tian before saying with deep meaning, "About two hundred years ago, Gu Canglang of the Gu family and my granddaughter Qianwei joined hands and went to the Western Wasteland. However, they died halfway and after that, only Qianwei returned alone."
Yi Tian said faintly, "This is also because Gu Canglang's fortune is shallow and caused Shi Qianwei to become a widow. It really is the will of the heavens."
Shi Ningjun also sighed and said, "Yes, this is something that I did not expect. Fortunately, not long after Qianwei returned to the sect, she gave birth to a son. I was afraid that the Gu family would not be able to take care of him so I directly let him take Qianwei's surname and named him Lingfeng. After that, he stayed in my Shi family's ancestral land. Now, he can be considered an outstanding person and his cultivation has already reached the early Jin Dan stage."
At this moment, Yi Tian's head shook and suddenly felt a little panicked. The Shi Lingfeng that Shi Ningjun mentioned was very suspicious and could almost be said to be related to him.
However, Yi Tian's expression remained calm as he replied, "Then I must congratulate Fellow Daoist Shi on having a great-great-grandson."
Shi Ningjun glanced at Yi Tian, then opened his mouth to reveal a shocking piece of news, "Fellow Daoist, did you know that ever since then, the Jin Dan cultivator of the Gu Clan, Master Gu, would often come to check on Qianwei's troubles? It was only until a few decades later that he went to the Western Wasteland and never returned. Only then did this troublesome matter come to an end."
"Master Gu, as a Jin Dan cultivator, going to pick a fight with a Foundation Establishment cultivator doesn't seem appropriate," said Yi Tian disdainfully.
"Oh, Little Yi, how did you know that Qian Wei was still a Foundation Establishment Cultivator at that time?" With a smile on his face, Shi Ningjun asked, "Could it be that you had some understanding of the Thousand Spirits Sect many years ago?"
Knowing that he had misspoken, Yi Tian stubbornly continued to talk nonsense, "I once had a good relationship with Xiao Linhang of the Tian Yun Sect in the Central Region. From him, I learned about the situation of the various large sects in the Central Region and their most promising disciples."
"Little Yi, did you know that Master Gu took advantage of my seclusion to force Qianwei to hand over the child many times? Guess what happened afterwards?" Shi Ningjun mysteriously asked with a smile.
Seeing this, Yi Tian did not dare to reveal too much and only lightly said, "This one is actually a little interested in the following development of this story. Fellow Daoist Shi need not keep me in suspense, if you have something to say, just say it."
Shi Ningjun did not avoid the topic and directly explained the aftermath of this matter one by one. Originally, when Shi Qianwei carried Lingfeng to the Gu Clan and dripped a blood test, the result was shocking.
Shi Lingfeng and the Gu Clan's bloodline were not compatible at all. Afterwards, in a rage, Master Gu detained Shi Qianwei and the child together. If it was not for Shi Ningjun breaking out of seclusion and breaking into the Gu Clan to take away his granddaughter and great-great-grandson, the Thousand Spirits Sect would have one less Yuanying Cultivator.
After that, Shi Qianwei's reputation was ruined. On the surface, those fellow disciples in the Thousand Spirits Sect kept their mouths shut, but behind their backs, there were many discussions about who the child's biological father was. It was not until Shi Qianwei formed the Jin Dan that the rumors within the sect stopped. After she broke through the Jin Dan and formed the Nascent Soul, no one dared to mention this matter anymore.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Shi Ningjun explained the cause and effect of this matter. Afterwards, he picked up the wine cup on the table and gently took a sip before saying, "A hundred years ago, I went to find the Sect Master of the Heavenly Fate Sect, Yi Tian, and asked him to divine the child's birth father." Speaking up to here, he stopped and looked at Yi Tian with a smile.
Being looked at by the other party made his heart tremble. Yi Tian hastily coughed and many thoughts flashed through his mind. Since he went to find All-seer, then he would definitely be able to find him here. Thinking about how Shi Qianwei suffered from the suspicion and jealousy of her fellow disciples, she endured the pressure and cultivated until she successfully formed her Gold Core. It was difficult to describe the joys and sorrows of it to outsiders.
No wonder when they met in the Southern Border, she seemed to have something to say but hesitated. Most likely, she wanted to talk to him about this matter.
Looking at Shi Ningjun's gaze, Yi Tian felt from the bottom of his heart that it was like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law. However, he firmly believed that even if All-seer knew about this matter, he would not point it out. After calming his mind, he replied, "Fellow Daoist Shi, please continue. I'm all ears."
The smile on Shi Ningjun's face disappeared, and he revealed a solemn expression as he said, "All-seer told me that the child's fate was inherited from his father. He is a person with great luck. I repeatedly asked him, but he did not reveal anything. In the end, I could only give up on this matter. "
After Yi Tian heard this, the trace of worry in his heart slowly disappeared. However, before he could recover, he heard Shi Ningjun suddenly ask, "I heard that Brother Yi also traveled to the Western Wasteland many years ago."
"En, is there such a matter? I forgot. This person is old, so there are some things that he can't remember," Yi Tian replied. But when he turned to look at Shi Ningjun, a trace of light flashed through his eyes. The expression on his face said, "I'd be a fool to believe you."
Since everyone knew in their hearts, Yi Tian did not want to offend anyone. After a while, he could only admit defeat and say, "I'm about the same age as Shi Qianwei, so it's reasonable for me to call you Great Grandfather."
Shi Ningjun was unperturbed, as if he had already expected this kid to be so tactful. Then, he smiled and said, "In that case, this old man is worthy of this title."
Faced with such an attitude, Yi Tian did not dare to refer to him as an equal anymore. In order to avoid being involved in this matter for too long, he directly changed the topic and revealed a little of the information provided by He Weiming to Shi Ningjun.
After hearing this, Shi Ningjun could not help but sigh. After a while, he replied, "What you said is only something that I know. Even Qianwei knows about it. However, this is also a helpless action. Who told the Thousand Spirit Tribe to suffer this curse for generations? That's why they had to resort to such a method. "
Yi Tian asked in confusion, "Is this only a problem with the Thousand Spirit Tribe? Could it be that as a side branch of the Thousand Spirit Tribe, your Shi Clan is not affected at all? "
Shi Ningjun raised his head and closed his eyes to think for a while before saying, "At this time, it's still related to you. The source of this problem lies with the Wisdom King Holy Lord, Luo Que." Then, he slowly revealed this secret, causing Yi Tian's brows to furrow.
As a human, Qian Lingzi's greatest advantage was that he was able to reproduce easily. On the other hand, Luo Que was proficient in curses. Back when the two of them fought in this realm, Qian Lingzi repeatedly gained the upper hand, but was unable to kill Luo Que. Luo Que also skillfully cursed the Thousand Spirit Tribe, making it difficult for them to break through to the Deity Transformation stage. As such, Qian Lingzi used the excuse of insufficient Spiritual Qi to cultivate Spirit Slaves to pave the way for his descendants.
