“All right, girl, I’m really your ancestor. You’d better put away those little thoughts and let me finish my words before you think of destroying everything.”

Jing Ming waved his hand and removed the restriction on Xu Wan’er.

“All right, let’s…”

Jing Ming thought that he had taken the initiative to remove Xu Wan’er’s restriction as a gesture of goodwill.

No matter how suspicious Xu Wan’er was, she should have listened to him carefully.

However, he was shocked to see that as soon as he removed the restriction, Xu Wan’er flew backwards towards the exit with a whoosh.

From the looks of it, she obviously didn’t want to hear a word more from him.

Although Xu Wan’er’s actions were definitely not wrong and could even be said to be very good.

When unsure of the other party’s intentions, and at an absolute disadvantage, the best way was undoubtedly to return to the safe zone first.

Moreover, if the other party really did not have any hostility towards her, what could they not say in the safe zone?

Only when the other party had bad intentions that he needed to talk to her in some remote places.

If the person who appeared here was not him at the Apotheosis Stage, but a Core Formation Stage or Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, Xu Wan’er’s actions might really succeed.

Unfortunately, Jing Ming was an Apotheosis Stage cultivator.

Hence, the moment Xu Wan’er rushed out, she realized that her body was once again controlled.

“You little girl, I already said that I’m your ancestor. Why can’t you let me finish my words?”

“Forget it, forget it. 1’11 prove my relationship with you first.”

Jing Ming teleported in front of Xu Wan’er and tapped at her forehead.

The next second, Xu Wan’er saw a familiar scene.

This was a scene from her childhood.

In the scene, she followed him and her father to escape the Great Xia Kingdom.

Not only that, Xu Wan’er followed these memories all the way up until she saw fragments of his grandfather and grandmother’s memories.

Especially after seeing part of her grandmother’s memories, Xu Wan’er saw Jing Ming’s in her grandmother’s memories.

“So, do you believe me now?”

After using the Soul Returning Technique to trace all the bloodlines of Xu Wan’er’s ancestors, Jing Ming was now certain that Xu Wan’er was the bloodline he had left behind in the lower realm.

There wasn’t much of a difference in seniority between them, only four generations.

This was because Xu Wan’er’s grandfather’s generation had also become cultivators, causing the birth of descendants relatively late.

However, her grandfather did not manage to pass down his inheritance in time in the end. Also, due to some special reasons, Xu Wan’er’s generation became ordinary people.

Jing Ming thought that Xu Wan’er would have believed him after what he had done.

What Xu Wan’er said next made Jing Ming feel like his heart was about to collapse.

“What could memories prove? You said that you are an Apotheosis Stage powerhouse, so it should be very easy for you to tamper with my memories.”

“How can 1 judge whether you are my ancestor or not? Perhaps you deliberately let me see those scenes to make me lower my guard?”

Jing Ming was speechless.

“Damn it, I take back what I just said.” he thought. “This girl… is not cute at all!”

Jing Ming had never expected that the touching scene of a meeting between generations did not happen at all.

Instead, he was repeatedly questioned by the other party.

If the other party was not his direct descendant, Jing Ming might have wanted to slash her with his sword.

“This child’s words… are too infuriating!”

However, just as Jing Ming was starting to doubt his life and thought that he could not convince Xu Wan’er, she spoke.

“But 1 still believe what you said.”

“Ah?”

Jing Ming was stunned at first, then he asked in surprise, “Why? Didn’t you say that 1 tampered with your memory?”

Xu Wan’er looked at Jing Ming, who was in her grasp and had a puzzled expression.

She smiled and said, “The reason is very simple. If you were really hostile to me, you would have had countless opportunities just now, but you didn’t do anything to me.”

“Young Master once said that if you want to judge whether a person is good or bad to you, you must not care about what the other party says, but what the other party does.”

“Words can deceive, but actions are the most genuine feedback.”

“If a person needs to use his actions to deceive you and conceal their hostility, there are only two situations.”

“In one situation, you have an absolute advantage over your opponent.”

“In order to gain your trust, he could only use all kinds of methods.”

“The second situation is where you are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of status.”

“However, because of your background, your value, or some other special reasons, the other party can only get what he wants after obtaining your trust.”

“So the other party had no choice but to use his actions to deceive you and gain your trust.”

“But Young Master specifically emphasized that this second situation is extremely rare among the deception.”

“Because he once said that cultivators nowadays are all inflexible. As long as they have the advantage in cultivation level, they generally won’t do such strategic things.”

“In Young Master’s words, cultivators nowadays have cultivated until their brains have gone silly. They think that the only way to solve problems in this world is to cultivate.”

“You’re an Apotheosis Stage cultivator, and you have the means to check my memories. If there’s something you want in my memories or on my body, you would have already attacked just now.”

“And if you want me as a person, you didn’t do anything just now. Moreover, as an Apotheosis Stage cultivator, 1 don’t think you’re the kind of person who lacks women.”

“If that’s the case, the biggest possibility left is that you’re really my ancestor.”

Jing Ming was keenly aware of the most likely qualifier in Xu Wan’er’s words.

“So you mean that you don’t trust me fully?”

Jing Ming removed Xu Wan’er’s restriction again.

This time, Xu Wan’er did not run away again.

She looked at Jing Ming, who looked a little similar to her, and said with a smile,” Naturally, 1 didn’t completely believe you.”

“Because Young Master also said that we must always be suspicious of this world. We must never think that what we believe in is correct.”

“No matter how absurd or unbelievable the reason for the objection is, never give up on this doubt.”

“Because between life and death, there are only things that happen and things that did not happen. Some mistakes can be made, but some mistakes… there is no chance to remedy once committed.”

“So, although the reason for suspecting you is very unreliable, I still maintain this last suspicion.”

“You don’t want me or my treasures. The only possibility left is that you need me to help you with something, such as… use me to rope someone in or force someone out.”

Hearing these words, Jing Ming couldn’t say anything else.

At this moment, he only had one thought in his heart… he has learned it.

He had never expected that he, an old monster who had lived for more than a thousand years, would not be as knowledgeable as this junior who was not even a hundred years old.

This made him even more curious about the young master Xu Wan’er mentioned.

Although he could search her soul directly just now, soul searching was an extremely dangerous thing.

Even if he was confident that he would not hurt Xu Wan’er, he would not treat his descendants in such a way.

As a result, he did not know who was the young master Xu Wan’er was talking about.

“Wan’er, the only thing 1 can say is that the young master you mentioned… said it well.”

“Hearing you say that, I’m even more curious about the young master you speak of.”

“Just what kind of place is it that can nurture such an amazing person…”

Niu Family Village.

“All Chu!”

Lu Yuan, who had just returned to Niu Family Village, sneezed.

He rubbed his nose and was confused.

“My physique has already reached the True Martial Realm. How can 1 catch a cold???” he thought.

“What kind of overbearing cold is this!”

“Could it be… Someone is thinking about me?!”

As soon as this thought appeared, Lu Yuan began to sink into deep thought….
