The Cannon Fodder in Quick Transmigration Refuses the Usual Path

Chapter 492: Mother of the Cannon Fodder Child of Destiny

After being stunned for a moment, she then spoke curiously:

"Is the Miss Xie you're talking about that Third Miss Fu who is somewhat similar to me?"

Seeing that Sister Shen seemed hesitant, Xie Lingyun across from her quickly stood up, quite agitated:

"Ah, what 'somewhat similar'? Sister Shen, you don't know, but you and that Third Miss Fu look so alike it's practically identical."

Forget about herself, even her Fourth Brother could mistake one for the other, so how could it be false?

It's just... well... the temperament is quite different. Third Miss Fu was dashing and generous, bright and lively. As for Sister Shen before her, perhaps because she grew up in the mountains, her temperament is more aloof and cool.

"But that Third Miss Fu isn't..."

But that one... wasn't she a daughter of the Fu Family?

Seeing the other's doubt, Miss Xie quickly spoke up: "Sigh, Sister Shen, you don't know. Although this Third Miss Fu was raised in the Fu Family since childhood, she is not the family head's biological daughter. She is an orphan girl the Fu Family Head adopted by chance during an accident."

But in the cultivation world, strength comes first. Third Miss Fu's cultivation was outstanding, her swordsmanship was especially stunning, and she was exceptionally included in the ranking of the family's young ladies by the family head. If nothing unexpected happened, she would undoubtedly become a family elder stationed within the clan in the future.This is also one of the methods used by smaller families with shallow foundations or lacking successors to improve their family's strength.

Who would keep harping on about so-called 'adopted daughters'?

Thus, most people directly call her Third Miss Fu.

Oh, no wonder Sister Shen would misunderstand!

Xie Lingyun had a sudden realization. Seeing An Ning seemed curious, she poured out everything she knew in one go.

Including, but not limited to, the day her Fourth Brother returned looking utterly despondent, saying he had found Miss Fu's belongings atop a certain cliff.

"That place is called Broken Dragon Terrace, an extremely dangerous location in the cultivation world. Sister Shen, having just left the mountain, you probably don't know. Below that cliff, the surrounding astral winds are said to be extremely dangerous and overbearing. Even a group of experts would find it hard to gain any advantage."

To put it bluntly, falling into that place means ten deaths and no life, absolutely no other possibility.

Actually, there was one more thing Xie Lingyun didn't mention: on that cliff, a lot of bloodstains were left behind.

Miss Fu was clearly pursued to that spot and, not wanting to fall into enemy hands, simply jumped off the cliff.

Although it was indeed cruel, Xie Lingyun still felt that, after all, they were sisters, so Sister Shen had the right to know about this.

It's just... sigh!

In the tearoom, An Ning's eyelashes couldn't help but tremble slightly for a moment.

Having interacted for so long, Xie Lingyun had never seen such an expression on the other's face. For a moment, she couldn't help but panic! She hurriedly darted over from the opposite seat:

"Sister Shen, Sister Shen! Ah, it's not that I deliberately didn't tell you, it's just that you were so focused on recovering your cultivation back then. I was afraid that if this matter... sigh!"

Re-establishing one's Foundation, especially with damaged spiritual meridians, is something I've genuinely never heard of before.

It was understandable for the young lady before her to worry... Seeing An Ning just silently gripping the jade cup in her hand without showing any sign of anger, Xie Lingyun beside her finally heaved a huge sigh of relief.

She hastily spoke up to console her:

"Sister Shen, don't worry. Our Xie Family is already looking for your little nephew. As long as..." there is the slightest clue.

Unfortunately, as soon as the words left her mouth, she saw the green-robed woman before her shake her head almost imperceptibly:

"There's no need!"

Ah? No... no need...

How could that be? Doesn't Sister Shen want to find her family?

But before Xie Lingyun could voice her curiosity, she suddenly saw an exquisitely carved green jade ring with various mysterious patterns appear in the other's hand out of nowhere.

Then, a palm-sized compass abruptly appeared, held in the person's hand.

Xie Lingyun: "!!!"

"This is called the Kinship-Seeking Compass. Including this jade ring, both were specially refined for me by my master when I left the mountain."

Looking at the intricate compass in her hand, as if remembering something, An Ning spoke with a sigh, her expression unable to hide its complexity: "Actually, that day, I was precisely following the guidance of this compass..."

Xie Lingyun: "!!!"

Ah, no wonder she was so unlucky. So Sister Shen's arrival wasn't a coincidence but purely walking right into the trap herself.

"That... I'm sorry, Sister Shen, if I..."

At this moment, watching An Ning attempting to activate the compass, Xie Lingyun couldn't help but regret it to death. If only she had known earlier that Sister Shen had such a good item.

Maybe they could have saved Miss Fu a bit sooner!

Frantically fiddling with the green jade pendant at her waist, Xie Lingyun felt increasingly guilty in her heart.

Seeing this, An Ning couldn't help but sigh softly:

"Sigh, perhaps it was fate. The spirit artifacts crafted by my master cannot be opened without a certain level of cultivation."

"Ah!"

So it was still the Xuanming Cult's fault after all. Really... damn them!

Watching the faint red light continuously flashing within the compass, Xie Lingyun couldn't help but mutter curses under her breath.

Meanwhile, upon learning that Miss Shen intended to go out to search for someone, and considering her cultivation had only recently recovered, Family Head Xie promptly dispatched several experts from the clan to accompany her.

However...

"A Kinship-Seeking Compass, a storage jade ring that can conceal itself as if nothing, which even several elders couldn't detect in the slightest... It seems this Miss Shen's master is definitely no ordinary figure!"

"Indeed!" At one side of the writing desk, the Eldest Young Master Xie similarly nodded in agreement. "Earlier, I specifically checked the clan's records overnight and confirmed that there has been no record of such a thing in the cultivation world for nearly a hundred years..."

Not just unusual, it might very well be some reclusive great expert. Thinking this, father and son exchanged a glance, a thought flashing through their minds simultaneously:

It seems this Miss Shen can only be befriended, and must never be lightly offended...

It's just that the person she's searching for is most likely the long-missing son of the Xuanming Sect's Sect Leader.

Understanding his father's thoughts, the Eldest Young Master Xie beside him soon smiled and said, "Father, don't worry. Miss Shen is exceptionally capable and always knows her limits. Who knows, this might be a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity for our Xie Family..."
