Early the next morning, after finishing practicing, Yang Zhen was chatting with Zhao Yue'er and Caiyun in the yard. Suddenly, a servant came to announce that a guest was visiting.
"Looking for me?" Yang Zhen asked in surprise: "Who is the visitor?"
"It's a girl and her servant. She said her surname is Lan."
"Lan? Senior Sister Lan!" Yang Zhen suddenly understood and smiled at Zhao Yue'er and others: "Let's go and meet together."
…
In the living room, Lan Caifang and an old man with three long beards under his chin and a pale face were sipping tea.
As soon as Yang Zhen entered the door, she was about to greet Lan Caifang. When she raised her eyes and saw the old man, she was immediately shocked:
"Uncle Lan, are you here too? I'm so rude."
Then he turned to Caiyun and said, "Hurry and report to our ancestors that Master Lan from the Hall of Hundred Beasts is here."
It turned out that this old man was the elder of the Beast Hall who had questioned whether the stream was too shallow yesterday. He is Master Zifu, and Yang Zhen is a junior Qi practitioner. Of course, he cannot receive him in such a grand manner. He must inform his own Zifu.
Master Lan twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Young friend Yang, you don't have to be polite. I am accompanying my young lady here to express my gratitude. I don't dare to disturb your family."
Even though he said that, he didn't stop Caiyun from calling for someone.
Lan Caifang stood up and gave a big salute to Yang Zhen: "Cai Fang thanks Senior Brother Yang for saving her life."
Yang Zhen immediately jumped up and waved her hands repeatedly: "I don't dare to take it, I don't take it. I am the junior brother, and Senior Sister Lan is the senior sister."
Lan Caifang's eyes were filled with eyes, and she smiled and said, "Why am I a senior sister?"
"In terms of cultivation and age, the senior sister is older than me?" Yang Zhen asked confused.
Lan Caifang immediately burst into tears: "Am I very old?"
"Ah? No, senior sister is in the prime of life, ah, that's wrong, she is in her prime..." Yang Zhen said incoherently, and suddenly there was a pain in her waist, but it was pinched by a certain childhood sweetheart.
Lan Caifang glanced at Zhao Yue'er calmly and burst into laughter.
"Okay," Elder Lan over there said cheerfully: "Young little friend Yang has made great achievements this time. I think he will be promoted to an inner disciple soon after returning to the sect. By then, these outer sects will not call you senior brother when they meet you? "
Immediately, he said sternly: "The female disciple named Zhang from Yunqing Palace was captured last night. The matter in Langshan is over. Today, everyone will evacuate. I accompanied the young lady here, and I first came to ask Yang Xiaoyou Saying farewell is also a way of saying thank you.”
With that said, he took out a black wooden sign from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen declined and took it. This wooden sign is heavy in the hand. On the front, there is a word "beast" carved with golden powder, and on the back, a tiger and a phoenix are painted, as if they are fighting.
There is also a line of small characters at the bottom, which reads "Yi Zi Yi Shi Jiu".
"What is this?" he asked curiously.
"This is the beast card of my Hundred Beasts Palace," Elder Lan introduced: "With this card, you can go to my beast garden to choose a monster as a monster pet."
"Can I choose any monster?" Yang Zhen was very excited.
"Well," Elder Lan was a little embarrassed: "Adult monsters can only choose to be within the second level, while young monsters can go to the third level. In addition, if the contribution points required by the monster exceed one thousand, the excess must be paid by yourself."
"However, our Hall of Hundred Beasts will also come with a spirit beast bag, feeding instructions, and the ingredients needed for the monster within three months." Elder Lan added. …
"Thank you very much!" Yang Zhen was overjoyed.
He has no shortage of contribution points now, and it doesn't matter if he spends more or less. On the other hand, if this demon pet and spirit beast bag have nothing to do with the Palace of Beasts, it would be really hard to deal with.
Especially in his bluestone space, creatures can gradually enter. With the spirit beast bag, he will also have a cover in the future.
As he was talking, hearty laughter came from the door:
"Senior Brother Yu Qing came to visit us. It is a sin for Zhao to fail to welcome us from afar."
It was Zhao Beiqing who pushed open the door and entered.
Several people exchanged greetings, but after sitting down again, they changed the topic and talked about yesterday's events.
"I heard that Brother Yu Qing was also invited by Palace Master Hechuan yesterday. I don't know what the situation is. Can we catch the female disciple named Zhang?" Zhao Beiqing asked.
"Haha," Lan Yuqing said with a smile: "Palace Master Hechuan was also worried that something would happen again, so he called me from the Hall of Hundred Beasts. Things went smoothly, and the female disciple never expected that we were coming for her. , was caught red-handed. In the meantime, he wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by Oikawa..."
"So, she is really this girl! Where is the orb? Is it still on her body?"
"Hey, he was sent away a long time ago, or he was sent away through our teleportation array. Don't you think he's angry?" Lan Yuqing shook his head and sighed.
Zhao Beiqing was silent, and Yang Zhen interjected:
"Excuse me, Uncle Lan, did you explain everything to Ruqiu after you captured it?"
"Excuse me. She is a genuine member of Xu State. She said she was oppressed by a big family in her early years and felt unfair, so she was bribed by the Qin State. Later, she also received secret support from the Qin State in her cultivation. Hey, this kind of bullshit is ruining the situation again. matter."
Yang Zhen was speechless. He suddenly thought of the Zhu family. If a Qin spy came to their door, the Zhu family would probably sell themselves out!
"She has always had a single line of contact. Her upline was arrested last night, but it is estimated that the possibility of catching her is low."
"In this case of Langshan, she was under the command of her line and did not know Qin Zhu. Similarly, Qin Zhu did not know her. However, both parties knew that the other existed. When the teleportation array came out that day, she asked After asking, she guessed that the woman pretending to be my young lady was exactly the person she was looking for. So she used code words to contact Qin Zhu."
“There’s no need to talk about what happened next.”
"What will happen to Senior Sister Zhang?" Yang Zhen finally asked.
"Executed to death, or sent to mines, and enslaved for life."
Lan Yuqing's tone was cold.
…
After the Lan family left, Yunqing Palace sent someone over not long after, asking Yang Zhen, Zhang Hejing, and Zhao Yuer to come over, saying they wanted to restore the route they took to find Qin Zhu yesterday.
Yang Zhen took them for a walk. The two stone chambers in the cave and the places where the fight took place were pointed out one by one, corroborating his story one by one.
As for Qin Zhu's storage bag, according to the sect's practice, it will be handled by Zhao Beiqing. It is said that Master Nalu Xiang raised an objection yesterday, believing that it should be handed over to the Zhenguo Palace and used in exchange with Qin in the future, but Shuihong immediately rejected it.
As for how Yunxiao Sect negotiated with Qin and protested after this, it was none of Yang Zhen's business.
However, Qin Zhu is dead, and Zhang Ruqiu is a native of the Xu State, so the Qin State can refuse to admit it. It is estimated that the Yunxiao Sect has no choice but to suffer the loss of being dumb.
Other merit rewards, etc. need to be returned to the sect before they can be implemented. However, with the endorsement of three real people, it is basically certain that the 100,000 contribution points will fall on the Zhao family.
In the afternoon, Yang Zhen was finally done with her work, and the Zhao family had also finished packing. The group boarded the ancestor of Zhexi's flying boat, preparing to return to Xuyang first.
Standing on the side deck of the ship, facing the cool evening breeze, Yang Zhen saw a person being tied up with both hands and being escorted onto the flying boat.
It was Zhao Lian. .
