"no respond?"
Xiang Shen frowned slightly and scanned the blood ring space with his consciousness, but he did not find Xiang Jian Jue's communication talisman inside.
She recalled briefly, remembering the whereabouts of the communication talisman, her expression suddenly became a little subtle.
She used to wear an ordinary storage ring on her hand as a cover for the blood ring. During the decisive battle underground, the storage ring used as a cover had long ago exploded with the center of the earth and was completely destroyed.
By coincidence, Xiang Jianjue's communication talisman happened to be in the storage ring, but she didn't remember such a thing until her apprentice found it.
"This matter is indeed due to negligence on the part of my teacher."
Xiang Shen sighed apologetically, took out a new communication talisman and handed it to Xiang Jianjue, "Your communication talisman was accidentally lost."
"Lost?"
Xiang Jianjue was surprised, carefully took the communication talisman, and became happy again, "It turns out it was just an accident. Master, don't worry about it, as long as you don't avoid your disciple on purpose."
Xiang Shen pursed his lips and smiled, and was about to speak when he suddenly frowned and coughed low in his throat.
Xiang Jian Juefang was still immersed in the joy of meeting his master again. When he heard this cough, his face suddenly changed slightly, and then he noticed that the master's face was faintly pale.
"Master, you..."
"It doesn't matter."
Xiang Shen waved his hand, "You go and watch the two people in the backyard. If there is anything strange, go to the door of the inner room and call me."
"Disciple, I obey."
Xiang Jianjue subconsciously agreed, then his expression changed slightly, and he mustered up the courage to ask: "Master, I want to stay here with you, is that okay?"
When these words were spoken, Xiang Shu had already entered the back room, and only a gentle voice came out.
"It's up to you to decide."
Master agreed!
Xiang Jianjue looked happy and immediately turned around and entered the backyard.
At the same time, Qianwuzifang.
Li Changting stayed on the spot, looking at Wang Tuo lying in the cat's nest, one person and one tiger, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, returning to the state when they just met.
Li Changting felt uncomfortable being stared at, and his eyes drifted to the backyard from time to time.
Why doesn't Xiang Jianjue come out? Is he planning to stay put?
"Are you Li Changting?"
Wang Tuo suddenly uttered human words, and Li Changting's eyelids twitched, "How do you know?"
"That boy Jian Jue shouted as soon as he entered the door."
Wang Tuo clicked his tongue, "I've heard of you, Xizhou monk."
Li Changting nodded slightly: "What advice does this fellow demon clan member have?"
"Don't take advice seriously."
Wang Tuo grinned, "Your sword was so powerful that day. Are you a sword cultivator? What a coincidence, that guy Jian Jue is also a sword cultivator."
Li Changting heard the implication of Wang Tuo's words and couldn't help but smile: "The inheritance of Dongzhou Kendo is withering. I just can't bear the pearl to be covered in dust. I am persuading with good intentions, not by force."
Wang Tuo couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "I'll knock you down. You'll poach yourself in front of the real master. Are you still shameless?"
A layer of paper was suddenly pierced. Li Changting's face turned red and his toes scratched the ground.
I really can’t stay in this shitty place!
He wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but when he thought of Xiang Jianjue, he couldn't bear to give up. After thinking about it, he continued to stay where he was, watching Wang Tuo with his eyes, nose and heart, and simply regarded Wang Tuo as air.
Wang Tuo:?
Are all Xizhou monks so thick-skinned?
The suffocating embarrassment continued to spread in the silence. Fortunately, it didn't last long before a head cautiously poked its way in from the door.
"This...Senior Li?"
Luo Hai invited enthusiastically: "Senior, why don't you go next door for a drink first while you're just waiting here?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Changting and Wang Tuo suddenly opened their eyes and spoke almost at the same time.
"OK!"
"no!"
Luo Hai was stunned for a moment.
Damn it, if these two don't deal with it, Senior Tiger will get angry!
He reacted, but still
Before he could change his words, he was forcibly taken away by Li Changting without any explanation.
"I'm panicking, but you're here just in time, let's go!"
"Luo Hai, if you dare to let him drink my spiritual wine, I will smash your wine shop tomorrow!"
"..."
A moment later, inside the wine shop.
Luo Hai sat at the table with a dejected face, watching Li Changting eat and drink, feeling that the future was dark.
"Don't worry, that tiger has a bad temper, but he has a good nature. He only talks about it and won't really do anything to you."
Li Changting chuckled, "You can give him wine later, and he will still drink it."
Luo Hai sighed leisurely: "I hope so."
The two had been drinking for three times and had become quite familiar with each other. Li Changting had a change of thought and asked casually, "Boss Luo, how much do you know about the guy next door?"
Luo Hai was stunned, "Senior Tiger?"
Li Changting shook his head and uttered two words, "Xiang Shu."
"Empress Shi Ji?"
Luo Hai scratched his head, "What can Empress Shen Ji say? Hasn't she already been reincarnated as a mortal? When you and that Jianjue guy came over, I thought you were both her apprentices in the previous life."
"mortal?"
Li Changting squinted his eyes slightly. The method of mobilizing incense to heal the disciples of Guimugu was not something ordinary people could use.
"Just a mortal."
Luo Hai was afraid that Li Changting wouldn't believe it, so he added: "She caught wind and cold half a month ago and coughed frequently. I went to get some medicine."
Li Changting nodded thoughtfully, then changed the topic and asked, "How much do you know about that tiger?"
"You mean Tiger-senpai?"
There was a serious look on Luo Hai's face, "Senior Hu treats people very well. Although he doesn't have anything nice to say, as you said, his temperament is much kinder than some monks."
Why are you still boasting?
Li Changting felt helpless, "I'm asking you about his specific identity."
Luo Hai's mind flashed with the scene of Wang Tuo playing with the Secret Bead, but on the surface he looked confused: "I don't know, Senior Tiger is so powerful, I am only responsible for making wine, how dare I ask questions."
Li Changting: "..."
No wonder the tiger just cursed twice and didn't stop him. It turned out that Luo Hai didn't know anything.
"Senior Li, let me toast you again."
Luo Hai smiled and continued to toast. Li Changting hummed, drank the wine in one gulp, and asked no more questions.
When Luo Hai saw this, he was secretly relieved.
He has been wandering alone in the world of cultivation for many years, so how could he not see that Li Changting came here to inquire about information? Even without Senior Hu's reminder, he would not talk nonsense.
His first two answers were indeed his sincere words, but if you look closely, you will find that these two points have no practical significance. What he has seen and guessed in the past three years has been kept deep in his heart without saying a word.
The two of them had their own thoughts and drank from day to night.
Xiang Jian never came out, and Li Changting didn't plan to leave either, so he stayed at the wine shop. He couldn't sleep at night and simply thought about Luo Hai's two sentences over and over again.
Luo Hai misunderstood that Xiang Shen was a mortal, which meant that this woman lived in seclusion here and never used cultivation methods.
Li Changting murmured to himself, and he suddenly felt enlightened when he thought of Xiang Shu's slightly pale face during the day.
Seriously injured?
Xiang Shu has been living in seclusion and hiding from his apprentice. It turns out that he is doing it to heal his wounds and is afraid that his apprentice will worry?
The silly boy came after me. If he knew about this, wouldn't he be even more reluctant to leave?
"well……"
Li Changting put his hands on the back of his head and let out a long sigh. Could it be that Dongzhou was in conflict with him? Why doesn't anything go as planned?
Early the next morning, Zifang.
Xiang Jianjue had just moved the door panel, and when he saw Li Changting standing at the door smiling at him, his face suddenly darkened, "Why are you still here?"
"Silly boy, what are you talking about?"
Li Changting poses
He looked distressed and said, "I helped you find the master, but you want to drive me away before you can help me find someone? How can a human being break his word?"
"You mean Qingxin-senpai?"
A trace of uneasiness flashed across Xiang Jianjue's face. He was only looking for his master and almost forgot about this.
"Master has been feeling unwell recently. Let's talk about it in two days."
When Li Changting heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Silly boy, where did you get your confidence? Do you really think that your master is Senior Qingxin?"
Xiang Jianjue snorted: "Even if not, my master will definitely recognize it. However, master has no obligation to help you. I am only responsible for passing on the matter. The rest depends on your luck."
After saying that, Xiang Jianjue was too lazy to continue talking to Li Changting, and turned around and went into the backyard to continue looking at Gui Mugu and the two.
Li Changting took a step forward and was about to sneak in, when a black light flashed before his eyes, and there was another obstacle blocking his way.
Wang Tuo bared his teeth, revealing two cracked tiger fangs, "Fellow Daoist Li, the backyard is an important area and no one is allowed to enter."
Li Changting frowned: "I still have two things I haven't explained clearly to the silly boy."
Wang Tuo chuckled: "Jian Jue is busy taking care of the two Guimu Valley disciples. You have nothing to do in Dongzhou, wouldn't it be the same if you wait for two more days?"
Li Changting's eyes twitched and he couldn't bear it anymore: "Isn't it just that sword attack last time that scared you, why do you hold a grudge so much?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Tuo immediately became furious: "What flying sword? I have forgotten it a long time ago!"
Li Changting squinted at the corner of his mouth: "That's all, I'll wait for two more days."
He turned around and was about to go to the wine shop next door, but he heard Luo Hai crying and sending a message: "Senior, Senior Tiger is serious this time. You sir have a lot, just go around the villain!"
Li Changting hesitated, and when he turned around, he saw Wang Tuo arrogantly showing his white teeth at him.
"If you dare to poach my sister Shu, I will let you sleep on the street today!"
Wang Tuo smiled coldly, and was about to continue speaking, when his tone suddenly stopped, and then his expression instantly disappeared, he retreated into the cat's nest and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
Li Changting was not sure what was going on when he suddenly heard a cry from behind: "Boss Xiang?"
Tiejiang Chen held a large bag in one hand and held Fengfeng in the other. He stood at the door and looked at Li Changting carefully: "This little brother, isn't Boss Xiang here today?"
He carries a sword on his back. Is this man a swordsman?
Tiejiang Chen was sizing up Li Changting, and Li Changting was also sizing up the father and daughter who suddenly arrived.
mortal?
He was secretly surprised that this tiger monster was so arrogant towards him, yet it disguised itself as a black cat in front of mortals. Was it because of Xiang Shen's order not to expose them in front of mortals?
Li Changting clarified this point, and his eyes immediately became eager when looking at Chen Tiejiang.
He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Tiejiang's hand, and said with enthusiasm: "Blacksmith, it's me, don't you remember me?"
