——Concubine? What concubine?
Yan Changlan's mind was racing, and he was stunned unconsciously.
Ye Shu was already smiling: "Of course it's her who will do it. Her craftsmanship is good and it suits my taste."
The father and son of the Zheng family laughed loudly when they heard this, and sat down opposite Ye Shu as usual. However, they saw Yan Changlan at this time and couldn't help asking: "This Taoist friend is familiar to me, I don't know who he is -"
Ye Shu's tone was filled with pride: "This little brother is a direct disciple of Qixiao Sect Baixiaofeng. His name is Yan Changlan, and he is a good friend of mine. He went out for training before, and now he just came back and came to talk to me. "As he spoke, he put his hand on Yan Changlan's shoulder, "It's his blessing that my magic weapon shop can run smoothly, haha!"
Yan Changlan came to his senses.
Although he was extremely surprised by Ye Shu's current posture and was still thinking about whether he loved his concubine or not, he also understood that these two people who seemed to be familiar with Ye Shu were actually the ones Ye Shu was guarding against. Man, he should cooperate with Ye Shu.
Therefore, Yan Changlan said calmly: "I'm Yan Changlan, what do you call the two of you?"
Although the Zheng family and his son valued Ye Shu, a skilled weapon refiner, they did not have enough respect when getting along with him because of his lack of background and impetuous temperament. Now that they heard Ye Shu mention Yan Changlan's identity, they felt a chill in their hearts. .
The direct disciples of Qixiao Sect are more feared than ordinary weapon refiners.
After all, no matter how good Ye Shu's skills are, he can only carve restrictions under the limitations of his cultivation, but cannot actually refine it. However, there is a sect force behind Yan Changlan. A mere casual cultivator like them, under the sect force, What does it matter?
The postures of the Zheng family's father and son suddenly became much more upright.
Seeing the two of them like this, Ye Shu's eyes moved slightly.
At this moment, a graceful girl came from behind to the front.
She opened her lips and said, "The rice is ready. Come and have a taste."
Zheng Han first smiled and said: "I have smelled the fragrance a long time ago. Madam Hu is so good at her craftsmanship."
This graceful girl was none other than Wen Baiping. She called herself Hu, and her attitude towards Ye Shu was mainly docile and timid, which did not arouse the suspicion of the Zheng family and his son for a while. The reason why she cooks all the time is because she is everyone's young lady after all. Now that her identity is disguised, it is better to spend more time in the kitchen than to be teased outside. But the person in the kitchen who actually cooks is not Wen Baiping. But Tian Xiuxin, who is unexpectedly good at cooking.
After seeing the beautiful Wen Baiping, Yan Changlan suddenly realized that this girl was Mrs. Hu, the concubine of his best friend Yeshu Xina mentioned by the Zheng family and his son. However, he had only been gone for this short period of time. Why did such a concubine appear?
At this moment, Yan Changlan's heart seemed to be held by someone's hand, and he felt depressed for some reason.
He was thinking in his heart that he and A-Zhuo were very close before, but now that A-Zhuo has a concubine, they are even closer. Can they still depend on each other as before? A concubine and a maid are not the same. A maid is just someone to serve, but a concubine is...
Yan Changlan's fingers clenched slightly, but the expression on his face was unmoving - no matter what, he should not ask A Zhuo rashly at this time. A Zhuo was now dealing with the Zheng family and his son, and he should try to help him instead of ruining his previous efforts.
In this way, he secretly convinced himself, and gradually he became more and more silent. However, in the eyes of the Zheng family and his son, his behavior was compared with the arrogance of the sect's descendants, and they treated him more politely.
Tables and stools had been prepared nearby, and everyone went to sit down together.
The table was filled with exquisite dishes by Wen Baiping. Yu Jinghua and Tian Xiuxin took the initiative to replace Wen Baiping and came to help everyone prepare dishes and pour wine. Wen Baiping pretended to be shy and retreated into the house, no longer showing her face as a concubine.
A few people came to eat and drink.
Yan Changlan picked up the wine glass.
He had clearly just come back, and he should be hungry, but looking at these dishes, he somehow had no appetite.
After sitting for a while, Yan Changlan did not move his chopsticks. After only drinking a glass of wine with the Zheng family and his son, he got up and left the table on the pretext that he had to take a shower when he returned from Chuchu.
The father and son of the Zheng family indeed saw that Yan Changlan was covered in dust, so they smiled and watched him go.
After Yan Changlan walked a few steps, a hint of sadness suddenly appeared in his expression... even he himself was unaware of it.
·
Because Yan Changlan's behavior was no different, he was taciturn and could be said to be unaware of the current situation, and he did less and made fewer mistakes. Therefore, even Ye Shu never noticed that Yan Changlan had gone through several waves in his heart, let alone that he was in a depressed mood now.
The father and son of the Zheng family did not stay long because of Yan Changlan. After having a meal with Ye Shu and inquiring about the close relationship between Ye Shu and Yan Changlan, they left.
Afterwards, Ye Shu returned to the room, but unexpectedly found that Yan Changlan had not returned even after such a long time.
He paused for a moment, then stood up and walked to the bathroom.
Sure enough, there was an oil lamp burning in the bathroom. Ye Shu pushed the door open and saw Yan Changlan soaking in the tub, looking straight ahead, but his eyes were dull and he seemed a little stunned.
Ye Shu walked over and waved his hand in front of him: "Chang Lan, the water is cold."
Yan Changlan suddenly woke up and faced Ye Shu.
He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't seem to know how to say it.
Ye Shu was also patient. Seeing him like this, he said: "The father and son came to ask for a tailor-made magic weapon before. Because Zheng Han's realm is advanced and you go out to practice, I made this disguise. It's okay." Less hassle.”
Yan Changlan didn't want to ask this, but Ye Shu took the initiative, so he nodded.
Seeing that Yan Changlan was still a little weak, Ye Shu couldn't help but be a little puzzled - he was clearly in high spirits when he sent the congratulatory gift, but what happened now?
Yan Changlan hesitated for a while, then asked: "Azhuo, did you take a concubine?"
Ye Shu was stunned, and then said: "You mean Miss Wen? She is not a concubine, she is just hiding her identity in front of the Zheng family and his son."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Changlan's expression slowly relaxed imperceptibly.
Ye Shu continued to tell the story to Yan Changlan: "This incident also started because of the Zheng family and his son. I went there in disguise that day, and at the invitation of Zheng Han, I temporarily went to Xiaohonglou..."
In his opinion, there was nothing ulterior to the matter, so he slowly told all the details bit by bit.
Following Ye Shu's narration, Yan Changlan gradually relaxed the tight strings in his heart, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I see." Then he frowned and said, "The Zheng family and his son have been bullying others too much. They have come here many times, so there must be something evil in their hearts. .”
Ye Shu nodded: "Although it seems that he wants to build a relationship with me, his attitude is strong. If this continues for a long time, he may have other plans."
But things are different now. Ye Shu, the weapon refiner, has personal connections from the Qixiao Sect, and the friendship is obviously very deep. This channel is very difficult to come by. He is not just a person with superb skills and no obvious background. He wants to plot against him. It involves a lot.
The Zheng family father and son will probably not be so aggressive anymore.
Yan Changlan felt relieved when he heard what Ye Shu said: "Since the two of them are afraid of the Qixiao Sect, if there is nothing important during this period, I will not return to the sect."
Ye Shu said: "You have a pass to practice at the practice site every month, don't forget to get it."
Yan Changlan nodded and said: "I know, I will save it for the time being, and when I can get it together for ten or twenty days, I will go into retreat."
Ye Shu responded: "That's fine."
The two talked about something else.
After a long journey, Yan Changlan was a little tired, so he fell down on the bed to rest.
Ye Shu took out the magic herbs given by Yan Changlan and planted them in the medicine garden. Then, he poured a bucket of mixed chaos water and soaked it in the three kinds of spiritual minerals that Yan Changlan gave him.
These three kinds of spiritual minerals are indeed precious. To be honest, when refining low-grade magic weapons nowadays, they are basically a waste of natural resources. If the spiritual minerals are pure enough, they can be used to forge magic weapons, not to mention magic weapons.
Ye Shu was naturally satisfied with these three kinds of spiritual minerals, so he soaked them to remove impurities first. The removal of impurities has not yet been completed. If you are lucky and soak for a while longer, these three spiritual minerals may be catalyzed by the chaotic water into more valuable spiritual minerals. However, this also takes a long time to do, but it is not used for the time being.
After making up his mind, he put the bucket into the Hunyuan Pearl with a flick of his fingers.
What happens to these spiritual mines depends entirely on the future.
Next, Ye Shu looked through other rare monster materials, put them all away and organized them, and then lay down beside Yan Changlan.
The Zheng family's father and son were constantly harassing him during this period, which was also a trouble for him, which cost him quite a bit of energy...
·
Since Yan Changlan has been staying at Ye Shu's place since then, the Zheng family father and son came again every few days and saw Yan Changlan again.
That time they just said hello to Ye Shu, sat for a while and then left without staying any longer. After a while, they gradually stopped coming.
After Yan Changlan came to stay, Wen Baiping rarely left the room.
Although Yan Changlan has a calm and relaxed temperament, he is still a little stiff whenever he faces Wen Baiping.
Although Yan Changlan was not aware of this, occasionally in the dead of night, he could feel the long breathing of his best friend beside him, but for some reason he couldn't fall asleep. Even if he got up and meditated, he couldn't immerse himself in it.
However, when he asked himself, he couldn't find the root cause. But from time to time, a thought would come to his mind - his and A-Zhuo's lives were intertwined, they advanced and retreated together, and they were rarely separated since they met. This originally made him satisfied. But the road is long, and they are still together now. Things will change in the future. If one day A Zhuo becomes a Taoist couple with a woman and starts practicing with her hand in hand, where will he go?
As expected, close friends and life-and-death acquaintances are extremely important, but those who can truly walk together on the Tao are still Tao companions.
Yan Changlan is inevitably depressed sometimes.
Now, he was hoping that A Zhuo would meet the woman he loved so that he and A Zhuo could continue like this. But at the same time, he felt that he was too narrow-minded. How could he have such dark thoughts just for his own selfishness?
The hundreds of sorrows in my heart could only turn into a long sigh in the end.
Little did Ye know that Yan Changlan had been tossing and turning for many days just because of a trivial matter. He was still practicing and honing his miscellaneous studies in an orderly manner as before.
In the early morning of this day, Yan Changlan opened his eyes and saw Ye Shu who had just finished his work. He saw a small scorpion crawling down his head and wandering from the side of his face to Ye Shu's neck.
The dark shell of the vicious-faced spider scorpion reflected the skin on Ye Shu's neck, making that area particularly white and almost transparent.
Yan Changlan looked away uncomfortably and stretched out his hand: "Fierce face, come to me."
The vicious-faced spider scorpion can already understand human speech, but it only listens to Ye Shu's words, and occasionally listens to Yan Changlan's words.
At this time, when it saw Yan Changlan extending his hand, it slowly climbed up and gently swung its tail hook on his finger, as if to say hello to him.
Seeing the vicious-faced spider scorpion like this, Yan Changlan couldn't help but put a smile on his face. Then he suddenly remembered something, and a small gourd appeared in his hand: "I was going to practice some time ago, and I met a person with evil intentions on the way. , he is good at using poisonous snake-shaped darts. I got such a gourd poison juice from his storage bag, just thinking of bringing it back for Fierce Face. I almost forgot about it before, but now I just gave it to Fierce Face."
The moment the little gourd appeared, the vicious-faced spider scorpion twisted its head and aimed its entire body in the direction of the little gourd.
Yan Changlan couldn't help but laugh, and directly opened the stopper of the small gourd and placed it on the ground.
The vicious-faced spider scorpion looked at the little gourd and shook its tail hook proudly. Then it shrank again and waddled into the gourd's mouth, completely immersing itself in it.
Yan Changlan paused.
Ye Shu flicked the gourd with his fingers: "Gludgy."
Yan Changlan couldn't help but soften his eyes when he saw Ye Shu's action.
The vicious-faced spider scorpion swallowed the poisonous juice very quickly, and it didn't take long for it to come out again.
At this moment, Yan Changlan looked at the small gourd again, and found that not a drop of the poisonous juice was left in it, and it had actually drank it up.
He couldn't help but say at this moment: "Sure enough, he is greedy."
The venom was probably quite poisonous, and the vicious-faced spider scorpion seemed quite satisfied, lying on its back, feeling very comfortable.
Yan Changlan and Ye Shu looked at it for a while, and they were very harmonious.
Not long after, there was a sudden noise outside.
Yu Jinghua walked to the door very quickly, clicked it three times and reported: "Master, Master Yan, a guest is here."
Ye Shu said: "Who is it?"
Yu Jinghua said: "I heard it came from the Wen family."
Ye Shu understood: "If the Wen family cares about Miss Wen, it is indeed time."
After speaking, Ye Shu did not go out immediately, but first quickly released his consciousness.
This perception is extremely fast, and it returns as soon as it is touched, but even so, Ye Shu has also noticed that there is a Master Ji Zhu among the visitors, which shows that he attaches great importance to Wen Baiping. In addition, there was someone they knew.
At that moment, Ye Shu's face quickly changed from the handsome young man he had always pretended to be to his true appearance.
Then, he went out with Yan Changlan and asked Yu Jinghua to invite the Wen family in. On the other side, he ordered Tian Xiuxin to go to the room and call Wen Baiping out to meet the Wen family.
The two women quickly followed the instructions, and Aijiu and others also quickly tidied up the yard.
Ye Shu and Yan Changlan stood side by side and nodded slightly when they saw Yu Jinghua and the three people following her.
Yan Changlan looked at the three people and recognized an acquaintance among them.
That acquaintance was the oldest one when they met by chance, Wen Baihao.
There were two other people, among them Zhenji Zhenren was a beautiful woman who looked no more than twenty years old, but there was some vicissitudes in her eyes, which showed that she was actually older. The other one looked at a man in his thirties with a bit of eagerness in his eyes.
After Wen Baihao came in, he recognized Yan Changlan and Ye Shu at a glance and was slightly startled.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Baiping was also brought out by Tian Xiuxin, and then she quickly saw the three Wen family members clearly. She couldn't help but take a few steps over, threw herself into the arms of the thirty-year-old man, and shouted: "Brother!"
The man squeezed Wen Baiping tightly, and then pulled her away to take a closer look.
At this glance, unconcealable anger suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked sadly: "Little sister, you, you have suffered. Who dares to humiliate my daughter of the Wen family like this, tell the elder brother, and the elder brother will kill him with a thousand swords" Wan Sha, I will avenge you!"
Wen Baihao and the foundation-building female cultivator also looked at Wen Baiping, and naturally found the same thing.
The aura on Wen Baiping's body... looks like Yuan Yin has been broken? Thinking about what she said in her letter, I think she didn't dare to elaborate on it at that time because she was afraid that they would blame her for it?
Wen Baiping didn't react at first, but Wen Baihao had already asked Yan Changlan: "Fellow Daoist Yan, I don't know who he is, but he actually treated my little sister..."
Yan Changlan was stunned for a moment, confused.
Ye Shu understood what these people had misunderstood and said, "Friend Daoist Wen, what you see is not true."
This time it was Wen Baihao's turn to be stunned.
Over there, Wen Baiping was crying and complaining about her grievances. After hearing these words, she suddenly understood, and a bright red appeared on her face.
Then she hurriedly said: "Brother, cousin, aunt, you have misunderstood. I did not, did not..." She held back her shame and said, "Just to cover up, Daoyou Ye prepared a concoction for me to take. , lest, lest..."
While talking, Wen Baiping looked in the direction of Ye Shu and Yan Changlan.
She recognized Yan Changlan, but she was stunned when she saw an indifferent young man where the handsome young man should have been.
The situation was a bit confusing at this time, and it took a while for everyone to figure out what was going on.
Let’s talk about Wen Baiping first.
She was a female cultivator on the second level of qi refining. When she first knew that her cousin was taking Wen Bailu and Wen Baijing out for training, she was unwilling to go with them because she was not at a sufficient level of cultivation. No matter how obedient she is now after being rescued, she is actually very favored by the Wen family, so she is somewhat willful in her character. Later, she found an opportunity to sneak out on her own, hoping to catch up with her cousin and his group. But where does she have any experience? Wen Baihao and others had already gone far away, and she was walking on her own. Although she had a strong spirit and a jade pendant hanging around her waist to prove the identity of the Wen family, she left the state where her family lived without any danger, but when she arrived After Jiutaizhou, people here didn't know the Wen family jade pendant. After she left for a while, she was caught and sold.
Because of her outstanding beauty and being a female cultivator on the second level of Qi Refining, she was bought by Xiaohonglou at a high price. Fortunately, she didn't suffer too much humiliation when she happened to meet Zheng Han and Ye Shu coming to find her. Huan was rescued by Ye Shu.
After Wen Baiping was rescued, she lived temporarily as the concubine of "Master Fang". If it weren't for the constant visits of the Zheng family and his son later, she wouldn't have to go through all kinds of cover-ups - Ye Shu used concubinage as an excuse at the beginning, but who in the world After a man takes a concubine, will the concubine still be perfect? So Ye Shu made a concoction and asked Wen Baiping to take it. From then on, her breath changed a little, making her appear as if she had lost her virginity, which deceived the Zheng family and his son.
At this moment, Ye Shu quickly made another concoction for Wen Baiping to take, and then Wen Baiping's breath changed again. This time it was clearly shown that she had never suffered such humiliation.
When the Wen family saw this, they were relieved.
Wen Baiping's elder brother was named Wen Baiying, and he always doted on his younger sister the most. Now, even though he was already at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he saluted Ye Shu with great respect and thanked him for his temporary help in saving Wen Baiping from the sea of suffering.
Wen Baihao was also very grateful and said: "This... I really appreciate the help of my two fellow Taoists."
Ye Shu shook his head slightly.
Yan Changlan smiled and said: "Since we met by chance at the beginning, and then we encountered this matter again, we can't just sit back and watch."
The Wen family heard this and thanked him repeatedly.
Even the foundation-building female cultivator Wen Changfei expressed her thanks.
On the other hand, Wen Baiping, after knowing that this appearance was the real Ye Shu, the love she once had in her heart disappeared.
——It’s not that Ye Shu’s appearance is not good. On the contrary, compared to the appearance of “Master Fang”, Ye Shu’s real appearance is more beautiful. However, no matter how good-looking he is, Wen Baiping can have a charming heart towards the young man. But it is difficult to have any affection for the half-grown boy.
Next, the Wen family left a lot of thank you gifts, mainly spiritual coins, but also some pills, furs, etc., which were extremely generous.
Ye Shu accepted them all and never refused.
In this way, the Wen family can feel at ease.
When the Wen family saw this, they were really relieved.
Wen Changfei then took out a token and handed it to Ye Shu: "This is the certificate of distinguished guests of my Wen family. If you two are destined to come to Zhongning Prefecture in the future, please don't be strangers and come to the Wen family as guests."
Ye Shu took it and said, "It's an honor."
Wen Baihao also took out a token and handed it to Yan Changlan: "Fellow Taoist Yan, this is the certificate of my sect. If you two go to Fucheng sometime, you can meet each other with this thing. When the time comes, I also ask you two to meet each other. .”
Yan Changlan also said: "Thank you, I will go there."
After that, the Wen family members did not stay long and said goodbye to Ye Shu and Yan Changlan.
The author has something to say: Thank you all for your support, thank you so much!
