Regarding the boring cultivation life day after day, Yan Nanzhi's heart has long been filled with boredom.
Little Yanzi has been staying in this miserable place for more than half a year since grandpa sent her to grandpa Yan Jiangxing. For such a long time, grandpa has not been here once, and grandpa does not allow her to leave. She can only practice various mysterious skills and mental techniques taught by grandpa in this cave in the mountain surrounded by white cranes, which is extremely boring.
"Hey, I haven't seen brother Xiaoyun for a long time. I wonder if he has gained weight."
While practicing, Yan Nanzhi stopped again due to distraction and started her own "work-rest exercise".
As for her so-called "combination of work and rest", it is nothing more than eating some candied fruits and taking a lazy nap.
Throwing a hawthorn fruit with rich spiritual energy into her mouth, the cute little girl once again thought of the handsome young man in her heart, and couldn't help but feel the pear blossoms blooming, filling the room with fragrance.
At this time, Yan Nanzhi's clothes were much more gorgeous than before, and even the feathers and mink fur could only be regarded as vulgar goods. However, she still liked a long dress with mainly green tones, coupled with her long hair with double ponytails, she looked innocent. Playful.
Her long, glossy black hair resembles the surface of a sparkling lake, and her waist is also covered with various decorations from her daughter's home, making her look as lovely as ever.
She was sitting on the futon and meditating. She felt it was too boring, so she lay down suddenly with her hands as a pillow, and then began to think wildly.
"We haven't seen each other for so long. I wonder if brother Xiaoyun has gained weight? Is he not as tall as me? Is he getting close to other girls? None of the girls in the village are as tall as me. It’s beautiful! Brother Xiaoyun, don’t be blind!”
"Is that idiot Tiezhu getting fatter? I don't know how his craftsmanship is. I will definitely ask him to give me a sword when I can go back tomorrow, hehe."
"And grandpa, I don't know what kind of trouble grandpa got into and he ran away. He's really worthless. Why don't you stay away from the limelight with grandpa? Who dares to come to Qingxu Tian to make trouble!"
Yan Nanzhi was chewing hawthorn fruits and talking nonsense to himself.
But I can't blame her. She was born with a cheerful and lively personality, but it was really difficult for her to be forced to practice in a cave where Yan Jiangxing couldn't even see a ghost.
How bored is she? In Xiao Yanzi’s own words:
"Xiaohong, it's you who will take care of the child today! Come on, come on, I'll treat you to a date!"
Yan Nanzhi flicked his sleeves, and a ray of glow flew out, shooting the hawthorn fruit into the long beak of the white crane outside the cave entrance.
However, laziness is laziness, and Yan Nanzhi did not delay his cultivation at all.
Through Yan Jiangxing's mouth, she learned that her grandfather had to stay with her senior brother Yan Jiangxing to protect her and teach her how to practice because he was avoiding his enemies.
Although Yan Nanzhi is naughty, it does not mean that she does not understand the truth. On the contrary, sometimes she is extremely rational.
For example, this time her grandfather threw her in Qingxu Tian, she didn't cry or make a fuss after knowing the reason, and silently followed Yan Jiangxing to practice well.
She understood that if she forcibly followed her grandfather to escape, she would only become a burden to him. It was better to practice well in Qingxu Tian and go out to find her grandfather and fight off his enemies in the future.
Moreover, Yan Jiangxing also promised her that as long as she could condense her soul, he would consider letting her go down the mountain, so Yan Nanzhi has been practicing tirelessly. Of course, she is more inclined to practice the "combination of work and rest".
This was Yan Nanzhi practicing alone in the cave. At this time, Yan Jiangxing himself was talking to a young woman on the top of another giant peak in Qingxu Tian.
Yan Jiangxing was seen sitting upright, while the woman had her eyes slightly closed, dragging her cheeks with one hand, and tapping the seat handle with the other hand, as if she had no interest in what Yan Jiangxing just said.
The woman looks to be less than thirty years old. Her clothes are very simple, but the simplicity is yet laced with exquisite elegance. The bun on her head has no split ends, and the position is very centered. It can be seen that she is extremely sophisticated. people.
Yan Jiangxing seemed a little tired after talking for a long time. After he took a sip of tea, the woman opened her eyes and said coldly:
"Elder Yan, I already know your purpose of coming, but you are from Jianqing Peak after all. If I accept this disciple rashly, I am afraid I will make your peak master dissatisfied? Besides, according to you, such a natural person Why don’t you just keep this charming girl to teach yourself, or just recommend her to your peak master directly? Why do you need to switch to my sect?”
Yan Jiangxing put down his tea cup, sighed and said:
"Fairy Qiu Shui, oh no, Master Qiu Shui, please forgive me. You have a special status. Even if our peak master and the sect master are fighting fiercely, how can you live a peaceful life here? They all want to fight against Ningqing. Feng’s idea, but no one dares to make the first move, and you are trying to win over the fairy in every possible way. The reason why is no longer a secret among those of us who are relatively knowledgeable."
After a slight pause, Yan Jiangxing's face seemed a little ugly, but he still said:
"It's not that I don't think highly of Master Chengtian, but I really don't want this poor granddaughter to become a victim of the big shot's game."
It turns out that the person sitting in the hall is none other than Qiushui Fairy, the peak master of Ningqing Peak, one of the five peaks of Qingxu Tian!
When Fairy Qiu Shui heard what Yan Jiangxing said, she turned her face and looked carefully at the unknown Jian Qingfeng elder, but she still said calmly:
"General Yan, as far as I know you have no descendants, right? Also, if it is true what you said, wouldn't I become your shield?"
Fairy Qiu Shui smiled coldly and continued to question:
"If you really have a granddaughter who can go from being a mortal to the realm of Hundred Meridians within half a year, I'm afraid you shouldn't give her to me at the risk of offending both parties, right? I'm afraid What can I give you?”
Fairy Qiu Shui stared at Yan Jiangxing with sharp eyes, and the implication was obvious. Although Yan Jiangxing's words made some sense, she still wanted to see what kind of medicine this person was selling in his gourd.
Although no pressure was used, Yan Jiangxing felt that the gap between the first level of Gui Ling and the fifth level of Gui Ling was far farther than the distance from Ling Yin Realm to Gui Ling Realm.
He thought for a long time, seeming to be making some kind of trade-off. After a while, Yan Jiangxing sighed again, cupped his fists and said to Fairy Qiu Shui:
"Master Qiu Shui Peak, I can't refute what you have to say as a shield, but you have to ask yourself, with my mere cultivation of the first level of Gui Ling, I am not even worthy of carrying the shoes of those high-ranking people in the sect, and sometimes I even want to be in this huge It’s hard to survive in this whirlpool, so how can I dare to deceive you who has returned to the fifth level of the spirit world?”
Fairy Qiu Shui's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this, but she nodded somewhat desolately, and then heard General Yan continue:
"I am old and it is not a pity to die, but my granddaughter, oh no, Autumn Water Fairy, she is not my granddaughter, but the granddaughter of my junior brother. But my junior brother is probably dead now, so what can I do? Can you protect his only flesh and blood?"
Yan Jiangxing seemed to feel something, and his eyes began to turn red. This also caused a strange color to flash in Fairy Autumn Water's beautiful eyes. Yan Jiangxing said again:
"Master Qiu Shui Peak, please forgive me. General Yan can trust you as a person. I hope that even if you really don't want to accept her as your disciple, please keep the next thing a secret for my poor little granddaughter."
After receiving Fairy Qiu Shui's nod, Yan Jiangxing stopped talking and began to communicate directly with the other party through his spiritual thoughts.
But less than a breath later, Fairy Autumn Water's eyes suddenly widened with a strong look of shock!
There was just a crisp "thump" sound, and the Autumn Water Fairy, who was sitting on the white jade chair, unexpectedly unscrewed the handle of the chair and exclaimed with a trembling voice:
"This is impossible! This...this..."
But she seemed to have thought of something again, and immediately held her red lips. Instead of continuing what she just said, she opened her eyes angrily and yelled at Yan Jiangxing:
"General Yan, please don't deceive me! Otherwise, I will kill you without any body parts!"
Hearing that Fairy Qiu Shui didn't believe him, Yan Jiangxing became anxious and quickly explained with his spiritual thoughts:
"Fairy Autumn Water, how dare I deceive you! It's true, she is not my junior brother's biological granddaughter, but she was picked up in the mountains and fields, which is consistent with the theory of being born and raised! And she came to me with only She has reached the Hundred Meridians Realm in half a year, and her talent is not far from yours before! Isn’t it true that she has peerless talent! Also, she can talk to animals at every turn. I originally thought it was a psychic on the mountain. She is a fairy beast, but the one she communicates with is actually an ordinary animal that has not yet opened the Hongmeng. Doesn't this also confirm the theory of knowing all spirits!"
Seeing that Fairy Qiu Shui was still silent, Yan Liangshan's anxious forehead broke out in sweat. He knew that paper could not cover the fire. No matter who came to the door first, his peak master or the sect master, he would not have good results. eat.
Yan Nanzhi may be regarded as a treasure, but he is likely to become a victim. The struggle between Jianqing Peak and Shenqing Peak has never stopped over the years, and no matter how precious the jade is, it will be shattered one day. As long as someone with a heart cares about it. A light drop.
Moreover, Qin Chengtian, the leader of Jianqing Peak, seems to have become a different person after so many years of struggle with the sect leader Yun Youya. He is no longer the loyal and courageous "Qingtian Sword" of the past.
Sometimes he even thought that if Fairy Qiu Shui really refused to accept Yan Nanzhi as her disciple, he might as well go all out and join Shenqing Peak. Even if Qin Chengtian retaliated afterwards, he would not openly break up with Yun Youya.
"I understand, I will keep this matter a secret for you, but from now on, although her surname is Yan, she is no longer your granddaughter, but an orphan girl I picked up at the foot of the mountain. Do you understand?"
The silent Fairy Qiu Shui finally spoke, which made Yan Jiangxing, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, calm down in an instant as if he had taken a reassurance pill as big as a weight, and quickly nodded his thanks.
