In the reception room.
Yuan Jing and Xiang Shu tasted a few spiritual fruits together, and after chatting for a while, they finally got to the point.
She took out the ancient jade slip she had just obtained and said, "Sister Li, Mo Xiao, I don't recognize any of the words on this jade slip. Sister is really well-informed."
Xiang Shenqing smiled lightly and said, "It's just out of interest. Compared with the path of cultivation, it seems a bit unprofessional, so I shouldn't praise it."
Yuan Jing shook her head and retorted: "Sister Li's words are far from good. Compared with the ancient world of cultivation, what we have learned now is only a small sum. If sister can learn one or two magical powers from ancient Chinese classics, she will definitely have great fortune!"
These words obviously meant something else.
Xiang Shen felt puzzled, but on the surface he shook his head and sighed, "That being said, I have traveled to various regions and the ancient characters I have learned are very fragmentary.
And how rare are ancient cultivation classics? They are all regarded as treasures by major sects. How can I, a casual cultivator, access them? "
Yuan Jing's eyes lit up slightly after hearing these words, but she didn't say much. She just followed the words to comfort Xiang Shu, and then continued to taste the spiritual fruit, while pretending to ask casually:
"Sister Li, do you have something important to come to Xitian City?"
"Nothing."
Xiang Shu shook his head slightly, "I just heard about the tomb of Emperor Tianlong and came here to join in the fun."
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Jing's eyes brightened, "Does sister have a place to stay?"
"Just find any inn."
"How about that?"
Yuan Jing's face turned serious, and she immediately smiled and said, "Sister and I hit it off right away, why don't you let me stay at my house during this time?"
Xiang Shu suddenly showed a flattered expression and quickly refused, "How can I make it happen?"
"Why can't you do it?" Yuan Jing stared with apricot eyes.
"I'm just a casual cultivator..."
"Sister, why should you belittle yourself? My father likes to make friends with knowledgeable casual cultivators like you, sister. If I can invite you to my home, he will be very happy."
"Forget it."
Seeing that she still didn't agree, Yuan Jing gritted her teeth and simply resorted to her coquettish technique, pulling Xiang Shu's arm and shaking her hard.
"Sister Li, I feel like old friends with you as soon as I see you, just promise me!"
Her intimate actions were beyond Xiang Shen's expectation.
It is still unknown whether this girl is not familiar with the world, or whether she is affected by the aura of the Abyss Snake.
However, Xiang Shu could also see that Yuan Jing was not thoughtful, and she was not disgusted.
With this in mind, Xiang Shu finally stopped pretending to refuse and agreed with a smile:
"...That's all. Since Miss Yuan is so kind, I will be disrespectful."
"Very good!"
Yuan Jing cheered and let go of Xiang Shu's arm. Only then did she realize that she seemed to be too close to this sister whom she met by chance.
what happened? Apart from her parents, she had never done this to anyone else.
She touched her face, which felt a little hot, and then her face suddenly turned redder.
"Sister...sister, you eat first, I'll go find Uncle Ling, why hasn't he sent the spirit fruit yet..."
With a murmur, Yuan Jing turned around and ran away.
Xiang Shu looked at his fleeing back with a faint smile in his eyes.
After leaving the living room, the cold wind blew outside, and the warmth on Yuan Jing's face immediately disappeared.
What a shame!
She was secretly annoyed, exhaled, patted her face, and was about to go find Lingshan when she saw Lingshan walking towards him holding a washed fruit plate.
"Miss, why are you outside?"
Lingshan looked confused, then took a closer look, his face became even weirder, "Miss, why is your face so red?"
"It's just a little hot. Come out and get some air."
Yuan Jing waved her hand to fool her, then took the fruit plate in Lingshan's hand and turned around to go in.
Lingshan was still hesitating at first, but when he saw his young lady being so impatient, he immediately stopped thinking too much and reminded him loudly: "Miss, the origin of that female cultivator is unknown.
It is essential to be on guard against others. "
Yuan Jing knew that what Ling Shan said was correct, but she felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it.
She frowned and said, "Uncle Ling, I have my own reasons for doing this. When I get home, I will tell my father about this, so you don't have to worry."
As soon as these words came out, Lingshan's expression suddenly changed, "Miss, do you still want to bring people home?"
"Uncle Ling!"
Yuan Jing's expression also turned cold, and her tone was sharp, "This person is related to the future of the family. Do you need me to explain it to you word by word and in person right now?"
Lingshan's eyes trembled when he heard this, and he quickly lowered his head, "This subordinate has overstepped his bounds."
"I was exaggerating."
Yuan Jing took a breath and softened her tone, "Uncle Ling, you have watched me grow up. I am no longer a child, so you should have more trust in me."
"Yes, Miss."
Lingshan endured the grievance in his heart and nodded in agreement.
Yuan Jing came into the living room with a fruit plate, sat down again, and chatted with Xiang Shu while eating, but her interest was not as high as before. The unhappiness of arguing with Lingshan was all visible on his face.
Xiang Shu could tell at a glance, so he simply got up and said goodbye and went back to the house. He casually took out a jade slip made of skulls and leaned on the soft bed to read.
Lingshan sat in front of the window opposite, staring at Xiang Shu's door from a distance.
The eldest lady was young and energetic, and what she said during the day really made him feel uncomfortable.
But it was uncomfortable, but it didn't stop him from continuing to protect his master. It would be bad if the female cultivator was disguising during the day and taking action at night.
Lingshan stared at him all night.
This night, nothing happened.
Seeing the eldest lady coming out of the house and knocking on Xiang Shu's door, Lingshan just rubbed his eyes and focused on the spirit boat formation.
"Sister, we will arrive at Xitian City in half a day."
As soon as Xiang Shu opened the door, he heard Yuan Jing murmuring, "There is a delicious spiritual food restaurant in Xitian City, and there is also a particularly delicious spiritual wine shop. Let's go together then..."
Xiang Shu was listening with a smile, but suddenly he felt something in his heart and looked outside.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Jing couldn't help but look back, only to see a yellow turbid stream floating rapidly from mid-air.
At the same time, Lingshan also felt something and looked up.
Seeing the yellow turbid current, he didn't know what he thought of, his face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly:
"Enemy attack! Reinforce the formation!"
The disciples of the Yuan family on the spirit boat reacted quickly. In less than a breath, they each stood at the formation node, refining the spiritual power in the spirit stone and pouring it into the formation.
The spirit boat shield immediately thickened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The yellow turbid current did not speed up because of this, but still floated in unhurriedly, followed by an indescribable smell of corpses.
Lingshan's face turned pale when he smelled the stench, and his heart couldn't stop sinking.
"Old Taoist Huangquan!"
"It's the old devil of Huangquan!"
"It's over, we're done..."
Someone else on the spirit boat quickly recognized the person’s identity and screamed.
For a time, people were panicked.
"Shut up, everyone!"
A scolding interrupted the screams. Everyone turned around and saw Yuan Jing with a calm face. They all became quiet as if they had found their backbone.
Xiang Shu followed Yuan Jing and raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene.
Yuan Jing looked at Jiaohan, but she didn't expect that among the children of the Yuan family, she was very dignified.
Yuan Jing walked to the front edge of the deck and saw that the yellow turbid current had floated in front of the spirit boat. Her heart was far less calm than her face showed.
However, as the person in charge of the spirit boat, she must keep her composure, otherwise everything will be in vain.
At this time, Lingshan walked closer, with a hint of determination between his brows.
He quickly transmitted the message secretly, "Miss, we can't stop this evil Nascent Soul cultivation!
When the spirit boat shield is broken, I will go up and delay.
You must seize the time to escape!
As long as you escape into Xitian City, you will be safe. "
Yuan Jing felt extremely uncomfortable listening to Lingshan's voice transmission. Before she could respond, she heard a sinister laughter coming from outside the spirit boat.
"You are whispering in front of the old Taoist? You are not taking the old Tao seriously."
Hua Hua——
The yellow turbid current surged and rolled into the void, and an old man in yellow robes with a body like a dead tree appeared from the turbid current.
A heavy coercion came over her, and even though she was blocked by the spirit boat shield, Yuan Jing still felt her blood boiling.
Her expression changed, and she barely suppressed her anger, "Senior..."
As soon as she said two words, the old man in yellow robe suddenly waved his sleeve, and the turbid current emerged from the void and hit the spirit boat shield hard.
Wow! ! !
But with an explosion, the several-inch-thick spirit boat shield was directly blasted into countless fragments.
"ah!"
"ah!"
"..."
The disciples of the Yuan family who controlled the formation were immediately struck back by the formation, vomiting blood and flying backwards.
Lingshan also groaned and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but when he saw the old man in yellow robe flashing and stepping on the deck of the spirit boat, he just held on for a breath and protected Yuan Jing.
Old Taoist Huang Quan looked up and down at Lingshan, with a stiff smile on his face, like a zombie.
"He is a loyal protector of his master. It would be good if he were made into a corpse puppet."
Yuan Jing was frightened in her heart. When she heard these words, she immediately felt a surge of anger in her heart.
She didn't know where the courage came from. She took a step forward and spoke loudly: "Senior Huang Quan, you are here just for the treasure. I will give you a sky boundary stone.
Don't hurt anyone from my Yuan family, otherwise not only will you not get the Sky Boundary Stone, but my father, Yuan Zhiping, will not let you go! "
"Oh? Your father is the head of the Yuan family?"
The old Taoist Huangquan looked surprised, but another hint of amusement flashed across his eyes, and he immediately pretended to be in trouble, "It's really difficult..."
Yuan Jing felt slightly relieved when she saw that Huang Quan, the old Taoist, was deep in thought.
It's good if there is room for negotiation. If this evil cult directly takes action after a disagreement, they will really have no power to fight back.
Lingshan was not as optimistic as Yuan Jing. Although he did not see the jest in Huang Quan's eyes, he sensed that something was wrong with this evil reaction.
What exactly was wrong, he couldn't figure out for a while.
"Well, since I am Yuan Zhiping's heir, today I will show my kindness and bypass you."
After the old Taoist Huangquan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, and the meaning was self-evident.
Yuan Jing felt relieved and quickly took out the jade box that she had kept close to her.
But at this moment, Old Taoist Huang Quan suddenly laughed and grabbed Yuan Jing directly.
"Jie Jie Jie, it turns out the thing is on you girl!"
Yuan Jing was shocked, she was so panicked for a moment that she froze on the spot and didn't react.
"Miss, let go!"
Lingshan heard a roar in his ears, and Yuan Jing subconsciously let go.
Snapped!
Lingshan slapped the side of the jade box with his palm. The jade box actually flew out and landed at the feet of Xiang Shen who was watching a show.
