In Yunshuang City, the majority of cultivators are at the Fangshi trading office. The crowd is bustling and extremely noisy.
Trading, selling elixirs, etc.
"Sister Qin, senior brother, why don't we go back to the inner gate?" Lei Qiyuan was very excited when he saw the dazzling array of stalls. But he had no money, so he could only rub his stomach in frustration.
The assets he brought down from the mountain were not many, and they were almost used up in just a few months, and all the elixirs were gone. If he continued to stay in this market, let alone food and drink, he might not even have money to buy snacks. Just think about it. Feel aggrieved.
After receiving Jiang Yunyi's advice and seeing the delicacies in the body refining secret book, Lei Qiyuan was even more eager to give it a try. He wanted to return to the inner sect and exchange his contribution points for the flesh and blood of monsters.
In the inner sect, as long as there is contribution value, there is nothing that cannot be done.
"Run back to the inner door? Didn't you see the warning that Grandpa and Grandma gave us in the notes?" As soon as Lei Qiyuan finished speaking, Qin Xiaoyu laughed and cursed.
"Junior sister Qin is right. We should not act rashly and just stay by our uncle's side."
Lord Jianjiu said from the front: "Besides, with the guidance of our uncle, we are making rapid progress. There is no need to rush, otherwise we will fall short."
"Oh well."
Lei Qiyuan sighed, then cheered up: "Brother Jian, I want to eat meat."
"Ah? We came here to buy elixirs, not meat!" Qin Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and said angrily.
Logically speaking, as the great-grandson and great-granddaughter of the Supreme Elder of the Inner Sect, they should enjoy unique advantages and have more cultivation resources.
But in fact, there wasn't much. After all, half of my grandfather's and grandmother's heritage fell into Lu Ningshuang's hands a few months ago.
Therefore, the three people who ran out of elixirs could only buy them in the market, and did not dare to ask Lu Ningshuang for them.
One is that there is no obligation, and the other is that they dare not speak.
Fortunately, Uncle Patriarch was very kind to them and would give them some spirit stones every time to maintain the status quo. Otherwise, they would have to go back to the inner sect to bring more resources or fight for opportunities themselves.
But after leaving the outer door, their instinctive sense of danger still made them choose to stay with Jiang Yunyi and feel more at ease.
Turn danger into safety.
Of course, they were not as close to him as Lu Ningshuang, but they would go to the ancestor uncle on time every three days at noon to ask for advice on problems in practice.
In this way, Uncle Patriarch will definitely get used to them coming to ask and give guidance on time every three days. If there is anything going wrong in the future, Jiang Yunyi will be able to detect something wrong immediately.
It’s actually double insurance, so proceed with caution.
.......
After the three of them purchased the elixirs they needed, they wandered around for a while and heard many casual cultivators discussing the Sword Palace.
"Shocked! The night before the Sword Palace, a strong man split the palace in half with a sword. Even the protective sect barrier couldn't block the power of the sword!"
"Fellow Taoist, please elaborate."
Hearing that something happened in the Sword Palace, as a sword cultivator, I was very concerned because it was a famous sword immortal sect.
All the sword immortals of the past dynasties came from the Sword Palace!
This casual cultivator was eager to know more, and the soul of Bagua was burning brightly. The scattered disciples of Tianling's outer sect around him also stopped curiously when they heard this.
"I can't capture her figure, and I don't even know her name. The only thing I know is that the opponent is very powerful. With one sword, she split the palace in half, shattered it, and turned it into ruins!"
That night, that sword.
Everything happened in an instant, and half of the palace was destroyed unexpectedly, causing the Sword Palace to shake up and down, and even alarming many nearby sects and monks.
By the time he reacted and wanted to block the news, it was already too late.
Now the news has already spread.
"How dare you show swordsmanship in front of Jian Palace? Isn't this a slap in Sword Palace's face?" A casual cultivator on the side frowned and was quite puzzled by this: "Isn't it possible that even the master of Jian Palace can't do anything about it?"
"Oh, you are so ignorant!" The monk glanced at him with disdain, shook his head and said, "Do you know who the strong man was that day?"
"Oh? Could it be that it's some old monster?"
"Hmph, it can't be that easy!" The monk sneered, and then said: "It is said that the one who uses the magical power of frost is very good. Who else can be a strong man of this level?"
"hiss!"
The casual cultivators all around took a breath of cold air.
The outer disciples of Tianling looked at each other in confusion, apparently guessing something.
"..."
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoyu and the others were stunned.
The sword palace was split in half?
Frost magical power!
Lu Ningshuang rarely made moves, but every move she made had special characteristics, that is, the arrival of extremely cold frost and terrifying killing power.
There was silence for a long time, until Qin Xiaoyu walked out of Fangshi, he hesitated and asked: "Is it the Holy Lord's sister?"
Jian Jiujun shook his head, while Lei Qiyuan scratched his head.
One is not sure, and the other seems to have no idea of deeper investigation.
"If she really is the Holy Lord, why would she use her own magical power? This is undoubtedly announcing to the world that she is her." Jian Jiujun couldn't figure this out.
Qin Xiaoyu was also scratching his head.
Lei Qiyuan didn't have as many entanglements as them. Regardless of whether it was true or not, his mind was only focused on the steaming food not far away, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
"I want to eat every day." Seeing his greedy look, Qin Xiaoyu couldn't help but pat him on the head, as if she wanted to relieve the boredom in her heart.
"Huh?"
Just when Qin Xiaoyu took back his hand, he saw many civilians gathered at the gate of the city. Their clothes were in tatters, and everyone had a sad look on their brows.
"So many people are wandering?" Qin Xiaoyu was surprised.
Jian Jiujun shook his head and said: "Junior sister Qin, how can this be wandering? They are obviously fleeing from famine, and it seems that they are fleeing here and want to get shelter."
Lu Ningshuang's prestige was still very high, especially for ordinary civilians like this, so she rushed to Yunshuang City for help.
"Escape?"
Qin Xiaoyu murmured and looked up towards the city gate. They looked sad and depressed, with tears in their eyes. It looked like their family had been destroyed.
There are also women holding their children alone, and there are even old, weak, sick and disabled people, who look very miserable.
When Qin Xiaoyu saw the victims in tattered clothes, he did not feel any sympathy at this sight. After all, pity is taboo among cultivators, so he frowned instead.
Suddenly, she thought of some possibility, and her face changed slightly: "Could it be that the sword of the Holy Lord sister caused the trouble!?"
One thing follows another, and it is impossible to be linked to each other.
Lord Jian Jiu glanced at her and sighed in his heart: You have already concluded that that person is the Holy Master.
Complaints are complaints, Jian Jiujun still answered seriously: "The Holy Master would not do such a stupid thing, there must be another reason."
The prosperity of Shengzhou was created by Lu Ningshuang. If she was willing, she could change the entire situation with just one word. If she hadn't been cold and aloof, she would have been able to unify the Immortal Sect.
In this case, how could he act wantonly?
If the world was really going to be in chaos, it would have been chaos long ago.
.......
The wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, and the courtyard is leisurely.
The two of them sat quietly, and Jiang Yunyi was obviously in a good mood, with a gentle smile on his face all the time. He was obviously proud of what happened before, and he didn't know about the Sword Palace.
At this moment, his mind is as clear as the bright moon. Even the courtyard scenery that he has long been tired of looks pleasing to the eye, especially the beautiful figure sitting opposite him, which is unparalleled in beauty.
Lu Ningshuang saw Jiang Yunyi's change in her eyes, but she didn't say much. She was cold and indifferent, as if she didn't like words, but it made her heart tremble.
The feeling of suffocation came over her, as if it wanted to swallow her soul. If she couldn't hold his hand, maybe the throbbing in her body would come out!
When Jiang Yunyi stood up, Lu Ningshuang concentrated her mind and stood up, but he raised her hand to stop her: "Lu Ningshuang, I am going back to the house to practice, not out of the hospital."
"If you want to practice, I will protect you."
"No, no, no, there are layers upon layers of your magic circles outside the courtyard. How can someone break in?" Jiang Yunyi smiled and waved her hand in rejection, gentle and bright.
While drinking tea, the subtle color in Lu Ningshuang's eyes was like a cold spring in the snowy mountains of Tibet. She was quietly considering something, which made Jiang Yunyi feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Even with her cold appearance, how could Jiang Yunyi not know the subtle changes in her, and her original good mood also turned a bit gloomy.
"Lu Ningshuang, I just went into the house to practice, and I didn't go out to travel around the world. Can I still lose it?" Jiang Yunyi feigned anger.
"Well, I'm afraid you'll lose it."
Lu Ningshuang put down the tea cup and stood up. Jiang Yunyi immediately changed from looking down to nodding. In the end, the beautiful woman in front of her showed an indisputable strength.
"You'll get it back when the time comes." Jiang Yunyi's words were undoubtedly a rejection of her, but Lu Ningshuang looked calm, as if she didn't understand Jiang Yunyi's hint at all.
"Yun Yi." Lu Ningshuang said softly: "If you can't lose it, why bother looking for it?"
"Forehead......"
This seems to be the truth, Jiang Yunyi is speechless.
.......
After being protected by Lu Ningshuang for a few days.
When Jiang Yunyi came out of the hospital, he also easily heard about the sword palace. He was shocked and asked with eyes wide open: "Lu Ningshuang, you did it?"
"Yeah." She nodded and admitted.
"You! Are you so afraid of losing me?!"
He was worried at the moment: "You, you are not afraid of causing a conflict between the two!"
Jiang Yunyi knew what Lu Ningshuang's personality was like, and had gradually become accustomed to her current change in possessiveness, but he never expected that she would reach this level.
If it causes two conflicts.
Will Jiang Yunyi be a sinner then? Or Lu Ningshuang?
If it was Jiang Yunyi, that sword was not from his hand.
If it were Lu Ningshuang, it would be like his "beauties bring disaster".
However, Lu Ningshuang just watched calmly, held his hand calmly, and said word by word: "Yun Yi, don't be angry."
"It's weird if you're not angry. How do you become the Holy Master?!"
"Yun Yi, they don't dare."
Every time Jiang Yunyi said such confident words, she felt like she was almost numb, and looked at her speechlessly: "Are you so sure?"
"Yeah." Lu Ningshuang nodded, unable to fully understand what she meant.
.......
At the same time, the Sword Palace.
That sword originally turned the Sword Palace into chaos, but the palace owner who was supposed to be in charge didn't show up, leaving the group without a leader.
Everyone in the Sword Palace was frightened, and they all speculated that the palace owner might have been seriously injured. Fortunately, there were several guardian elders in the Sword Palace, each performing their duties, to avoid chaos.
In addition, the Sword Palace has a profound foundation and the disciples of each peak have good combat prowess, so no sect dares to take advantage of others' danger. Therefore, after a short period of chaos, it did not cause a major disaster.
It's simply unpredictable.
"How could that woman go crazy!?"
Xia Qingyao on the other side had no choice but to put on a black robe that covered her body and went down to the secret room. She walked through the long tunnel and came to an open area similar to an altar.
There are many formations around, hanging ancient curtains and laces, which can allow the soul to enter and achieve instant spiritual communication and sound transmission. Obviously this place is a place of communication.
In this space, the ancient curtain reflected five lights and shadows, gathered here, and had been waiting for a long time.
"Hehehe, Palace Master, tell me how you got into trouble with her? We know the reason so we can avoid suspicion."
It was a curtain printed with ancient white cloud patterns. From the light and shadow, it could be seen that she was short in stature, carrying a large gourd on her back, and she was snickering, obviously taking pleasure in her misfortune.
"Oh, I won't tell you. It's up to you to see what you do when Tianxian Tower gets into trouble." Xia Qingyao snorted coldly in her heart.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how stingy."
"Okay, since Lu Ningshuang didn't hide her magical power, she obviously wanted us to know that it was her. We should think about how to avoid offending her." The old man stroked his beard, his tone full of worry.
On the old man's curtain, there is a pattern of alchemy furnace printed on it.
He added: "Girl Xia, you'd better tell me what happened recently."
"Yes, I, the Ziyang Sect, second the proposal."
"The Shenbing Pavilion seconded the proposal."
The light and shadow of the elixir pattern are silent: "..."
It is obvious that this old man possesses majesty.
From the words, we learned that the five lights and shadows present were all the leaders of one of the seven immortal sects!
They all felt indignant about what Lu Ningshuang had done, but who dared to say a word? They all turn a blind eye.
Because they are afraid of Lu Ningshuang's hidden power, which can be both evil and good, and can destroy the entire Holy State in a single thought!
Among them, there is a close relationship with the Demon Lord of the Demon Cult.
Fortunately, Lu Ningshuang is heartless, has no ambitions, and has no desires. Even if it is a benefit, she can also feel at ease.
In this world, from the moment she wielded her sword against the Sword Palace, she seemed to have changed again...
...
I don't know how long I had to wait at the outer gate. Jiang Yunyi was already prepared for the Sword Palace Society to come and ask questions. But he never expected that his worries were actually a false alarm?
These days, the Sword Palace has never sent anyone here, let alone raised an army to question the perpetrators. Tianling's outer gate has been calm and peaceful, without any turmoil.
Jiang Yunyi hesitated: "You really don't dare?"
After all, Jian Gong's silent attitude said everything.
"Don't dare."
Lu Ningshuang seemed to be answering for the master of the Sword Palace, which made Jiang Yunyi roll his eyes and said angrily: "In that case, how about the Holy Lord asking me to kill the monster?"
Jiang Yunyi stared at Lu Ningshuang meaningfully, and said without thinking: "Anyway, you are so advanced in cultivation, you are not still worried about me being in danger, right?"
Lu Ningshuang did not speak, but looked at him for a moment.
As time passed by, Lu Ningshuang just held his hand, gradually tightening it tighter and tighter.
Feeling the strength in his hand, Jiang Yunyi didn't have high hopes after all, and said quickly: "Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."
I'm afraid my hands will become useless if I wait any longer.
She has done such stupid things to Jian Gong, it is strange that she is allowed to do so.
As a result, just when Jiang Yunyi gave up, Lu Ningshuang finally said two words: "Okay."
The voice was cold and emotionless.
"I know it's not possible, you don't have to do it again..."
Before Yun Yi finished speaking, he paused, raised his head, looked at the beautiful person in front of him, and said in surprise: "Really or not?!"
He doubted his ears.
Lu Ningshuang nodded: "I said yes."
Hearing this, Jiang Yunyi was overjoyed: "Don't go back on your word!"
He didn't care why Lu Ningshuang suddenly changed his mind, and he didn't even realize that Lu Ningshuang had been leading her by the nose. She had never said that she wanted to restrict Jiang Yunyi's freedom.
It's just that Jiang Yunyi never mentioned it to her.
He only thought about the present moment and ignored the details.
Just like the original registration task.
Lu Ningshuang only used the magic circle, coupled with the ever-present sense of oppression and insistent hand-holding, to make Jiang Yunyi accustomed to her imprisoned treatment, making Jiang Yunyi subconsciously think that she was imprisoned and could not leave her, let alone this place. , can only rely on itself.
At the moment, Jiang Yunyi only knew that he did not have to waste his time in the courtyard doing nothing.
The smile that comes out naturally is as pure and clean as tasting sugar for the first time, shining brightly against the sun.
"No regrets."
Lu Ningshuang's face was filled with frost, and her heart had quietly changed with his smile, as if a warm current was flowing through her, melting her originally cold heart.
This is her smile.
