Although I really don't want to see that ugly thing again.
In order to learn how to use the Qianyuan pen, Li Shiqian agreed.
Xu Qiuqian is full of confidence.
She succeeded in drawing the talisman, but would she fail in drawing Zhizhi?
With her last experience, she was obviously more comfortable painting Zhizhi this time than last time.
What comes out is still an earthy yellow "squeak".
Li Shiqian resisted the irritating appearance, took it in his hand and studied it carefully, exploring the spiritual power in "Zhizhi", and finally came to a conclusion.
"There is no spiritual power fluctuation, just an ordinary little beast."
"No, it's not even an ordinary little beast, and it has no signs of vitality." It has no vitality, no spiritual power fluctuations, and it can be regarded as a decoration at best.
It's still the kind of ornament that disappears after a while.
Xu Qiuqian looked at Qianyuanbi's description thoughtfully.
"Painting pictures with pen".
Without knowing what she thought of, she sat down cross-legged and began to recover her spiritual power. After recovering, she picked up the Qianyuan pen and started working again.
Li Shiqian and Yun Yi were both curious about what she would draw next.
I saw Xu Qiuqian painting while looking at the broom in the corner of the yard.
The broom is simple and requires only a few strokes.
So it was painted quickly.
The broom is naturally also khaki in color. Although it is a bit different from the broom in the corner, it can indeed be used as a broom.
Take it in your hand.
"Okay, let's see when the broom disappears. Shiqian Xiaoyi, you can practice and I won't disturb you."
After that, he returned to the second floor.
After returning, Xu Qiuqian did not sleep, but began to exercise.
During the Qi refining period, most of the fighting involves physical combat, so physical training is very important.
Xu Qiuqian did not sign up to participate in the group competition the next day.
The arena competition was already on track, and there was no need for her to participate every day.
It just so happened that she didn't like today's restricted magic weapon very much.
When the monks who were waiting for her saw that she didn't come, they went about their own business.
Xu Qiuqian found Ying Liangzhi and asked him to take her to Ying's house again. She wanted to meet Ying Zhen's mother.
"By the way, it's best not to let anyone find out."
"Then please ask Manager Xu to change his appearance and put on the clothes of a disciple of my Ying family."
Xu Qiuqian responded.
Entering Ying's house, Ying Liangzhi led the way to Ying Zhen's mother's residence.
On the way, Ying Liangzhi said: "Yesterday, I inquired about Ying Zhen's mother after she left."
"how?"
Ying Liangzhi shook his head: "There is nothing wrong. After Ying Zhen went to practice, the clan still distributed resources on time every month, and the Xu family collected them for Ying Zhen. The only thing wrong was that other inner clan disciples had made plans, but After I got the storage bag, it was empty, so I guess it was used by Xu."
"Then Xu's cultivation..."
"There has been no change. This is the only thing I think is wrong. If Mrs. Xu really used the resources given to Ying Zhen, why has her cultivation level not improved at all in the past two years?"
Xu Qiuqian paused.
There was a vague guess in my heart, but I felt that this guess was too unreasonable, so I suppressed it for the time being.
Soon, the two came to the small courtyard where Xu lived.
"Since Ying Zhen's experience, Mrs. Xu also moved to this remote and dilapidated small courtyard."
It can be seen that there are indeed no people living around.
I didn’t expect that the Ying family would have such a remote and dilapidated place.
Xu Qiuqian stepped forward and patted the door.
There was no movement for a long while.
With her consciousness spread, she saw a plainly dressed woman walking toward the door. The woman's hair was a little messy, and her expression was full of panic.
It's like... the feeling of being overwhelmed after being frightened for a long time.
Soon, the door opened.
When Mrs. Xu saw Ying Liangzhi, she saluted and whispered, "I wonder what the clan leader is here for?"
"I came here to inquire about Ying Zhen."
"If we inquire about Zhen'er's whereabouts, I'm afraid the clan leader will be disappointed. Zhen'er went out for training two years ago, and I don't know where he went."
"If we don't ask about his whereabouts, can we go in first?" Xu Qiuqian said.
Mrs. Xu looked over.
"Who is this……"
"Oh, I am a foreign disciple of the Ying family. I was helped by senior brother Ying Zhen when I was young."
Xu Qiuqian noticed that when she said this, the expression on Xu's face was a little strange, and it passed quickly, but Xu's expression had been extremely strange since just now.
"It's not that I don't want to entertain you, it's just that my humble home is simple and there is really no place to entertain you."
"It doesn't matter."
"Why do you two have to enter my little broken courtyard?" Mrs. Xu looked confused.
Ying Liangzhi was speechless.
Xu Qiuqian, on the other hand, asked: "Then why don't you let us in?"
Mrs. Xu fell silent.
After a moment, he said helplessly: "Since you two don't mind, then come in."
The two entered the courtyard. Xu glanced around and then closed the courtyard door.
Seeing this, Xu Qiuqian asked curiously: "Why is Auntie so cautious?"
Xu sneered.
"The main reason is that after Zhen'er left, a lot of people came to see me."
"Oh? Which ones are they?"
The smile on Xu's face became even more embarrassing: "They are the family members of those foreign disciples two years ago."
As she said that, she smiled bitterly, "I didn't know about that either. It wasn't until Zhen'er went out for training that he briefly told me, asking me to move here and have less contact with people in the future. I didn't even know, Zhen'er How could he suggest that his junior brothers and sisters go hunting deep in the Gale Forest, but they actually went."
"If I had known at that time, I would have stopped it! Oh, by the way, I'll get you some tea."
After Mrs. Xu said this, she turned around and hurried into the hall.
Xu Qiuqian nodded and looked around.
The small courtyard is very shabby and has a clear view. There is a small kitchen next to it, where you can open a fire for cooking.
There are three rooms in total except the hall.
Two rooms are closed and one is open. The open room should be Xu's room.
As for the two closed rooms, Xu Qiuqian tried to use her spiritual sense to detect them, but found that her spiritual sense could not detect them.
"What are you looking at?" Ying Liangzhi asked her.
"Those two closed doors cannot be inspected by spiritual consciousness."
It's strange, why is there a ban in a dilapidated courtyard?
Ying Liangzhi understood, and when Mrs. Xu came up with tea, he said, "You don't know why you live in this remote place. A big event happened in Youling City recently."
"What's the big deal?" Xu asked subconsciously.
"There are monsters in Youling City."
Xu was surprised: "Why did the monster appear in Youling City?"
"I was also curious. Later I heard someone say that this monster ran away from the Ying family, saying that the Ying family was raising monsters."
"This...I don't know either."
Mrs. Xu looked even more embarrassed, and even complained about Ying Liangzhi in her heart.
Why was he telling her this? It had nothing to do with her, and since it was her family's business, Mrs. Xu would definitely not tell it even if she knew it.
It's the sentence at the end.
"Some people wonder how the monster escaped from the Ying family. A disciple of the Xiao family said that Ying Zhen caught this monster from Liefeng Forest for his fourth brother. Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
"How is that possible! How can Zhen'er have such great abilities! That monster beast is at the third level, and Zhen'er has only been practicing Qi for ten..."
