Yan Mingxiu was also happy in his heart. His pain for these two juniors was not in vain. With them accompanying Ji Beichen, he could just take time off to do some errands.
"Why are you here? Are you here specifically to welcome Beichen back to Cangxu?" Yan Mingxiu couldn't help teasing the two of them, his tone was the same as before, without any change.
Yan Mingxiu's question made Lu Xinrui feel embarrassed. Her cheeks turned red and she waved her hands in denial: "No, we came here for the smell."
As Lu Xinrui spoke, she pointed to the roast chicken on the fire and subconsciously touched her stomach. She didn't know whether she was greedy or hungry, but her stomach actually grumbled.
Seeing how cooperative Lu Xinrui's belly was, Yan Mingxiu couldn't help laughing loudly: "Haha! Greedy cat!"
Lu Xinrui stomped her feet dissatisfied, and handed over a fragrant chicken leg. Ji Beichen saw that the greedy junior sister had not changed at all, and couldn't help but smile fondly: "Try it, see if it tastes like that? "
Lu Xinrui happily took the chicken legs. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still couldn't resist the greed in her belly. It had been a long time since she had eaten wild game from the back mountains. It tasted exactly the same as before. She couldn't help but smack her lips and praised, "Yeah, that's the taste. It's so delicious!"
Ji Beichen watched Lu Xinrui eating with gusto, and suddenly remembered the game he had roasted for Yan Yueli in the Trial Valley that day. She was also very happy eating at that time.
"Xinrui, eat slowly." Yan Nianxin saw that Lu Xinrui's mouth was dirty after eating, and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe away the oil from the corners of her mouth.
"Senior Brother Yan, please give it a try. Senior Brother Ji's craftsmanship is still so good!" Lu Xinrui said as she handed over the remaining half of the chicken drumstick.
Yan Nianxin didn't think too much and naturally took a bite of the chicken leg. He nodded in agreement with a curl of his lips: "Well, it's really delicious!"
The two of them shared a chicken drumstick without hesitation, which made Ji Beichen surprised. He immediately looked at Yan Mingxiu opposite, as if asking when did the two of them become so close?
Yan Mingxiu shrugged his shoulders. He didn't know what happened between the two of them in Lihun Valley. It had been like this since they came back. Even his sister Yan Mingxin was considering whether to arrange a marriage for the two of them.
"Uncle, don't you want to try it?" Lu Xinrui was completely unfazed, staring at the remaining roast chicken on the fire, her eyes shining.
"Really? Is it so delicious? Then I have to try it!" Yan Mingxiu took off the roasted chicken from the fire, cut off a piece with a knife, took a bite, and found that it tasted really good. This taste brought him back to the past, and he couldn't help but eat another piece.
He distributed the remaining roast chicken to the three of them one by one, gave Yan Nianxin a few instructions, and then walked back to Qingtan Peak.
The three of them ate roast chicken and then wandered around the back mountain to eat. Yan Nianxin was afraid that Ji Beichen would be tired after recovering from a serious injury, so he took them back to Qingtan Peak after wandering for half an hour.
Ji Beichen's residence had been cleaned by Yan Mingxin, and Yan Mingxin greeted the three of them as soon as they entered the house.
Seeing that Ji Beichen had lost a lot of weight, she couldn't help but burst into tears and felt distressed: "Xiao Chen has suffered, it will be good if he comes back, it will be good if he comes back."
Ji Beichen's eyes began to turn red when he saw this. He knew that his master's wife felt sorry for him. She had been caring about his daily life and food since he was a child. As an adult, he would talk to him every once in a while, talk about his cultivation experience and interesting things about the sect.
"The children are back, so don't wipe your tears. It will make him feel uncomfortable when he sees it." Lu Shenji came over with a new set of clothes and handed the clothes to Ji Beichen as he spoke.
Ji Beichen took it and took a closer look. It turned out to be the white robe that he liked to wear in the past. Even the pattern of hidden flowers on the clothes was exactly the same. Unexpectedly, Master Lu always remembered his preference.
"Thank you, Uncle Lu." Ji Beichen said his thanks, remembering that he met Yan Yueli at Lin Yuan Peak that day, and he was wearing this white suit.
"Put on these clothes and follow me somewhere." Lu Shen said and left the house, and Lu Xinrui followed him out jumping up and down. Yan Nianxin originally wanted to stay and help, but Yan Mingxin waved his hand and invited him out together with the other disciples.
Everyone dispersed and the room became much cleaner. Ji Beichen looked at the clothes in his hands and stood there blankly. He didn't know where Lu Shenji was taking him. Could it be that the acting head Xiao Shangqing wanted to see him?
It wasn't that he didn't dare to face them, it was just that he felt very uncomfortable when he thought of the leaders of the peaks embarrassing Uncle Lu because of his visit.
Yan Mingxin watched Ji Beichen grow up, so she was naturally familiar with Ji Beichen's temperament. She probably guessed Ji Beichen's concerns, so she asked everyone in the room to leave and wanted to talk to Ji Beichen alone.
"Xiao Chen, don't think too much about other things. Put on this white clothes first. The gray robe on you looks lifeless and doesn't suit you." Yan Mingxin said, pointing to the screen in the corner.
Ji Beichen nodded in agreement, walked behind the screen and changed his clothes. He took off his gray robe and put on white clothes. When he walked out, he immediately felt more energetic.
Yan Mingxin asked Ji Beichen to sit in front of the bronze mirror, tied his hair again, put on a jade crown, and turned back into the handsome young man he once was, but there was a trace of sadness that he could not let go of in his determined eyes.
"Go ahead, don't keep your uncle waiting." Yan Mingxin finally straightened Ji Beichen's hair crown and patted his shoulder after finishing it.
Ji Beichen no longer hesitated, stood up and pushed the door open. He and Lu Shenji walked with their swords until they came to a towering peak that could be seen from a distance.
"Lin Yuanfeng! Divine Sword Pavilion?" Ji Beichen didn't expect Lu Shenji to bring him here, but he never forgot what Yan Yueli told him on behalf of senior Xi Yue, but he just didn't have the chance to get here.
"Go, brothers and sisters are still waiting to help you pick up the wind and cleanse the dust." Lu Shenji waved his hand to Ji Beichen, put him down, and urged him to go back quickly, and then Yujian stood on the cloud again and stopped going any closer. went.
Ji Beichen nodded in response and strode forward. He walked not slowly but carefully. Yan Yueli told him that a powerful barrier was set up around the Shenjian Pavilion. He was now a mortal, and he would be in danger if he ran into it. Trouble.
Ji Beichen had just walked a few steps when a powerful voice of spiritual consciousness came into his ears. It was a gentle and soft voice, as ethereal as a wind chime: "Achen, you go forward boldly, this barrier Your master arranged it himself, but it is of no use to you."
"Are you the seventh junior uncle?" This voice sounded strange and familiar to Ji Beichen. It should be Xi Yue, the seventh junior sister of Lin Yuan Peak, the master of the Divine Sword Pavilion, and the leader of Xuhai. Xi Yue is Yan Yueli's mother. It is common sense that her voice is somewhat similar to Yan Yueli's.
The woman's voice sounded again, mixed with a breeze-like laughter, which made people intoxicated: "Ah Chen is really smart, come here quickly, I have something to tell you."
"Yes." Ji Beichen strode forward with great expectation. He was suddenly very curious about this seventh uncle he had never met before. Yan Yueli's bright and beautiful appearance was obvious to all. Her mother's appearance was definitely not bad, and she was gentle and gentle. With her temperament, it's no wonder that even a hero like Yan Wugui is willing to retire for her.
Just as Xi Yue said, Ji Beichen walked into the main hall of Shenjian Pavilion smoothly without feeling any barrier at all. As he walked, he was thinking about why the head master excluded him. Could it be...
"My dear disciple, you guessed it right." The voice of Master Xuhai resounded through the hall, and an ancient old man with white beard and white hair walked up to the hall with a coiled dragon cane.
"Master?" Ji Beichen opened his mouth in surprise. He couldn't believe this was true. His master was dismissed from the army ten years ago. It was said that he went to the fairy island to reshape his body. How could he appear in Jiujie Mountain today? Divine Sword Pavilion?
Seeing that Ji Beichen was still looking stupid, Master Xuhai cursed: "Kneel down and be polite when you see your master! There are no rules! How did Lu Shenji teach you?"
When Ji Beichen saw that his master was angry, his legs weakened and he knelt on the ground with a plop. He quickly kowtowed and apologized: "My disciple is very surprised to see you. I also ask master not to be angry, let alone punish Uncle Lu. "
Seeing Ji Beichen kneeling on the ground, Master Xuhai cursed in his heart that he had gone too far. He was about to step forward to help him up, but when he thought that he was just a "wandering soul", he finally threw him away angrily and helplessly. He took off his sleeves and stood far away from any changes.
Seeing that Master Xuhai didn't respond, Ji Beichen thought that he was really resentful, so he knelt down and asked for punishment again: "Master, please punish me!"
"Okay, okay, I haven't become a mortal yet, and what you see now is just a virtual image." Master Xuhai was so anxious that he banged his Panlong crutch on the ground with a "dang-dang-dang" sound.
"Ah?" Ji Beichen finally reacted. No wonder the head master finally showed up and was still far away from him. It turned out that his physical body was still intact!
Master Xuhai chuckled. His good disciple was really not as smart as Yan Yueli. It would be useless to talk about it any more. Business was more important: "Have you brought what Yan Yatou said that day?"
Ji Beichen got up from the ground, bowed his hands respectfully and replied: "Disciple, I understand. Master, don't worry, I have stopped judging good and evil based on my skills."
Master Xuhai was very pleased to hear this. If Ji Beichen had not been exposed to the world earlier ten years ago, he would not have been misunderstood by others, was plotted by his fellow disciples, and lived such a hard life in Wuyou Town.
"I heard that you were forced to join the world, are there any gains?" Master Xuhai's move today can be regarded as a way to remedy the situation, but it is better than being deceived and bullied by others again!
Ji Beichen stood up and handed over his hands. After just thinking for a moment, he immediately and solemnly replied: "I was stupid before. Being kind to others does not mean being forbearing and giving in. Only by making myself stronger can I protect the people around me. If I could have entered the world earlier, I would have been able to protect myself." I won’t fall into Lu Aotian’s trick and not know it at all.”
"That's very well said!" Master Xuhai touched his white beard. It seems that his little Chen'er has really grown up and can distinguish right from wrong and fight back!
The ancient divine sword in the Divine Sword Pavilion, the "Dragon-Slaying Sword", moved strangely due to Ji Beichen's approach. Fortunately, Xi Yue discovered it in time and immediately went to the Sword Pavilion to strengthen the barrier of the Divine Sword before rushing over.
As soon as she entered the hall, she heard Ji Beichen's words about joining the world, and she felt a little fond of him: "Xiao Chen's forthright words today really make me look at him with admiration."
Ji Beichen walked away looking for the sound, and saw a beautiful and gentle woman in her thirties, with a slender neck like a white jade carving, a delicate appearance, and an unworldly temperament. She was dressed in a light purple dress that was windless, and her elegant skirt seemed to Blooming flowers.
If Yan Yueli is a delicate rose with thorns, Xi Yue is a clump of orchids hidden in the mountain stream, unobtrusive yet fascinating.
"Junior Ji Beichen, I have met the Seventh Master Uncle." Ji Beichen quickly bowed and saluted Xi Yue. The words of the Seventh Master Uncle just now seemed so familiar, and upon closer inspection, he found that they were quite similar to Yan Wugui's tone. It was really magical.
Xi Yue waved her hand to signal Ji Beichen to stand up, and said sternly: "Don't talk nonsense, now that you understand the standard of good and evil and not good and evil, I will inform you of the whereabouts of the sacred objects of the Demon Sect."
Xi Yue's words were clear, but Ji Beichen heard them even more confused. He quickly raised his hands and said humbly: "Uncle Seventh, I have something I don't understand."
"Please tell me." Xi Yue stepped forward slightly and carefully looked at the young man in white in front of her. The perseverance between his brows was somewhat similar to Yan Wugui back then.
Ji Beichen stood up slowly, straightened his back, and humbly asked for advice: "Junior, I would like to know, is the sacred object of the Demon Sect that the Seventh Master Uncle said is the emerald-inlaid gold finger ring that the Huan Mie Sect has been looking for?"
