Chapter: 5455

As she spoke, she couldn't help but question Hong Changqing: "Master, if that elixir cauldron is a symbol passed down for thousands of years by the Taizhen Dao, you can't just take it for yourself, can you?"

"I don't have it..." Hong Changqing saw through his attempt to deceive and could only say with a helpless expression: "Siji, I guarantee that the elixir cauldron is not in my possession. If it were, I would definitely give it to you without hesitation."

Dragon Siji's brow furrowed even tighter: "Master, if the elixir cauldron isn't in your hands, then whose are they? This thing was passed down by your grandfather himself! You won't just lose it, will you?"

Hong Changqing mumbled: "Siji, I'm afraid that the elixir cauldron is no longer in my possession, and I also can't find it. So, you should just consider that the Taizhen Dao doesn't have such a thing."

Hong Changqing said these words, his heart was also very anxious. He originally thought that Dragon Siji didn't know about the existence of the elixir cauldron, and he planned to cover it up, but he didn't expect that Dragon Siji was fully aware of this. If he didn't take out the elixir cauldron for her, he would naturally become a criminal in the eyes of the Taizhen Dao.

But now that thing has been given away to Ye Chen, and at this time it's definitely impossible to get it back from him.

So, he can only sacrifice his reputation, even if the disciples of the Taizhen Dao find out later that he lost the family heirloom passed down by his ancestors. He can only admit defeat.

When Dragon Siji heard Hong Changqing's words, she was also furious and didn't expect that Hong Changqing would deliberately keep quiet about the elixir cauldron at first, and then suddenly pretend to be innocent when asked directly.

Dragon Siji couldn't help but ask him: "Master, what do you mean by saying that the Taizhen Dao doesn't have such a thing?"

Hong Changqing spoke with a thick face: "It means that from now on, you should forget that the Taizhen Dao has an elixir cauldron."

Dragon Siji exclaimed: "Master, is this like your father who would tell everyone at home that 'we never had this child' after losing a child? Do you think it's acceptable?"

Hong Changqing's face was somewhat awkward, and he could only collapse pitifully: "That elixir cauldron has indeed disappeared, and I can't find it either. What can I do about it?"

Dragon Siji questioned him: "I need to know how the elixir cauldron went missing and who took it away."

Hong Changqing dodged her gaze and spoke hesitantly: "Siji... since the elixir cauldron is gone, what's the point of asking about it? You should just hurry up and take back the mantle token and return to the Taizhen Dao, ready to play your role as a master."

Dragon Siji firmly stated: "Since you've passed on the mantle token to me, I have the duty to retrieve the ancient treasure for Taizhen Dao, no matter what. Therefore, I must find and bring back the elixir cauldron!"

She looked at Hong Changqing intently and asked: "Master, think about the thirty-eight previous masters of Taizhen Dao before you. If we don't get the elixir cauldron back for Taizhen Dao, can you sleep peacefully?"

Hong Changqing was completely unsure how to respond to Dragon Siji's question and was helpless, only able to say: "Siji, I'll be honest with you - the elixir cauldron was bet away by me."

Dragon Siji was shocked and immediately asked: "Master, what qualifications do you have to use Taizhen Dao's inheritance as a bet?"

Hong Changqing sighed: "I don't have any qualifications, but this has already been done. The elixir cauldron has been lost, and I can't do anything about it. If you're not satisfied, go back and tell everyone in Taizhen Dao, making me the eternal sinner of Taizhen Dao. I don't have a say in this."

Dragon Siji spoke seriously: "Master, I don't want you to become the eternal sinner of Taizhen Dao - I just want to retrieve Taizhen Dao's treasure!"

She then gritted her teeth and said: "Master, tell me who won the elixir cauldron from you. I'll go find him and ask if he's willing to sell it to me for any amount of money. If not, I'll find my father and ask for help!"

Hong Changqing looked very uncomfortable due to his guilty conscience, but couldn't think of what to say.

Leaf Chen, who had been silent until then, smiled slightly: "Miss Siji, don't trouble yourself about Master Hong - he's already lost the elixir cauldron to me. It now belongs to me."

Dragon Siji was shocked and looked at Leaf Chen in surprise, asking: "Mr. Leaf, I want to know how my master managed to lose the elixir cauldron to you?"

Hong Changqing looked very uncomfortable due to his guilty conscience, but couldn't think of what to say. JrNovels.com
