Jing Yingrong looked at Yu Xian silently.
The dark eyes are as calm as the abyss.
She was not too surprised, as if she had expected this day.
"There is no such order."
Jing Yingrong replied, as calmly as if she was answering a trivial matter.
"That's it..."
Yu Xian withdrew his gaze, his gaze drifting upward to an unknown place, his expression vague, as if he was lost in some kind of thought.
The others looked at each other and remained silent.
In the sea of consciousness, Ji Shajian asked: "Has she confirmed your identity now?"
Jing Yingrong: "Yeah."
Ji Yanzhu: "Why? I thought she would at most believe that the mirror is a descendant of Li Chengkong."
Jijiebi: "Perhaps she knew what happened back then. The reason why Li Chengkong left Taichu Guan will definitely be passed down from generation to generation by the core leaders of Taichu Guan. Since she is a candidate for the next head, it is not surprising that she was informed in advance. Knowing this premise, it is not difficult to deduce based on the mirror's past performance."
Ji Yanzhu: "Hmm...that's right. So what did she mean by that question just now?"
Ji Jie Bi: "I can't guess this. Maybe she wants to find out about Li Chengkong's funeral arrangements. Judging from her appearance, she should have gained the information she wanted, but what can she get from just this question?"
Ji Jie Bi felt a rare feeling of confusion.
Ji Sha Jian suddenly said: "Is it true that the current head of Taichu Temple doesn't have to pretend anymore?"
Ji Yanzhu: "Really? Hey, she just said that there will be someone who doesn't want the mirror to be disturbed. Could it be that she meant the head?"
Ji Jie Bi said: "Maybe the leader knew earlier."
Jing Yingrong listened to their discussion without saying a word.
Yu Xian finally came to his senses, as if nothing had happened, and greeted everyone: "Come on, let's refine the plan. There are a few points that need to be considered... By the way, Brother Wizard, you are busy. If so, just go and do your work first, and we will inform you after we discuss the specific results."
Wu Yaochen said "Okay" and then said, "I'll sit down for a while."
It was said that they were discussing together, but in reality it was mainly Yu Xian and Shu Pinghui who were negotiating, with Huo Xiumao occasionally making comments, while Yin Xueze only responded when others asked him.
Jing Yingrong listened quietly, as if the matter had nothing to do with her - mainly because there was really nothing she needed to do, and all she had to do was not show up during the whole process.
There was a small coffee table between the seats of Wu Yaochen and Yin Xueze. He waited until everyone else's attention was focused on the leisure area, then reached over the small coffee table and poked Yin Xueze.
Yin Xueze turned to glare at him.
Wu Yaochen leaned closer and lowered his voice: "I apologize to you for what happened in the past."
Yin Xueze: "?"
Wu Yaochen: "I was wrong to interfere with your personal affairs and force you to tell your secrets regardless of your wishes. I was wrong."
"..."
Yin Xueze's eyes shrank, showing a hint of shock.
Wu Yaochen: "But I won't change."
Yin Xueze: "..."
Wu Yaochen continued: "You always told me not to mind your own business. I thought about it during the time when the team was separated. I don't think it's your nosy business. Therefore, I will continue to make you angry in the future. I am here to protect you from the future. Apologize, and remind you that next time you want me to shut up, you can do it directly, and I will be happy to accompany you."
After saying this, he arched his eyebrows and showed an extremely rogue smile.
Yin Xueze's veins jumped in the middle of the words, and the surprise in his eyes turned into annoyance. By the time he finished listening to everything, his palms on the armrests of the chair had already been clenched into fists.
The sudden change in the tense atmosphere immediately attracted everyone's attention.
When everyone else looked at the two people, Jing Yingrong glanced at the door.
As soon as Wu Shao entered the door, he saw Wu Yaochen leaning on his seat.
She stepped forward and appeared behind him, and slapped her on the back:
"Sit down or not!"
Everyone heard the loud "bang" sound, mixed with the faint echo in the cavity, and saw Wu Yaochen's face turned pale for a moment, as well as his Adam's apple rolling from swallowing something.
Yin Xueze looked up at Wu Shao blankly; Huo Xiumao and Shu Pinghui, who were already sitting fairly upright, raised their chests, raised their heads, and tightened their abdomens, stretching their backs into a ruler; Yu Xian, who was originally paralyzed like a dead fish, turned over with a carp kick. Get up, sit upright, steady and dignified.
"Why are you here, Chief Wu?"
Yu Xian asked seriously.
Wu Shao turned a blind eye to everyone's reaction and said directly to Yu Xian: "There are several people in our clan who want to participate in your investigation of the Kunhuang Sect's ruins, so we came here to discuss with you."
Yu Xian smiled happily: "So it's this kind of thing. You can just send someone to call me over. How can I bother you to go there in person?"
Wu Shao: "It doesn't matter."
When she said these two words, her eyes turned to Jing Yingrong, and her eyes circled around Jing Yingrong brightly.
Everyone immediately understood that Wu Shao came in person because of Jing Yingrong's presence instead of sending someone else.
Yu Xian left behind a sentence of "You guys continue chatting" and left with Wu Shao. As soon as the two left, everyone in the room except Jing Yingrong breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Xiumao looked at Wu Yaochen: "Are you okay?"
Wu Yaochen wiped the corner of his mouth and wrote lightly: "It's not bad."
Shu Pinghui said with a hint of schadenfreude: "Retribution."
Yin Xueze said nothing and slowly loosened his fist.
Shu Pinghui then asked: "There are only a few powerful formation masters in your clan, and you are busy instructing the layout of formations in the reconstruction project. How can you allocate manpower to the Kunhuang Sect?"
Wu Yaochen: "It may not be an array master, it may be a tool master or someone else. There may be fire from the Purifying Green Lotus left in the ruins. Although it cannot be taken away, on-site research is still within the permission of the three major sects."
"First Evolution"
Shu Pinghui suddenly realized: "I forgot that you have many weapon masters. Ah, I heard that you forged your Emperor's Edge Sword yourself?"
When she asked, a subtle expression suddenly appeared on Wu Yaochen's face.
"…Yes and no."
"What's the meaning?"
"Have you ever heard of that kind of art shop?"
Wu Yaochen glanced around.
Shu Pinghui thought for a while, "I've heard of it, but I've never been there."
The same is true for Yin Xueze and Huo Xiumao.
At this time Jing Yingrong suddenly said: "I have been there."
Wu Yaochen looked at her, "Senior sister, what kind of art shop are you going to?"
The mirror reflects: "Forge a sword."
Wu Yaochen smiled: "That's just an example. Senior sister, although you don't know how to forge swords, and you mainly rely on the swordsmiths to do it for you during the forging process, but the sword that is finally forged is nominally made by you yourself. Yes, right?"
Jing Yingrong: "..."
Wu Yaochen: "Senior sister?"
Jing Yingrong: "...I broke the materials and tools and couldn't cast it."
Everyone: "..."
The unspeakable atmosphere continued for several breaths. Huo Xiumao coughed lightly and broke the silence, saying: "I understand what the wizard brother means. You mean that your magic weapon was actually forged by others with the help of others. You only participated in a small amount of the process, but to the public It can still be said that it was cast by your own hands."
Wu Yaochen nodded: "Exactly. The clan leader originally wanted me to learn to cast weapons, but I was not very interested in it at the time, so she asked several master casters in the clan to help me, and later claimed that I made it myself. She This is called gilding and building momentum.”
He paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect that after joining this sect, I would encounter a time when I needed to use this skill. I had no choice but to learn and sell it now. If I had known this, I would have learned it earlier."
After that, several people continued to discuss the plan for a while. Near the end, Jing Yingrong mentioned that he might go out during the period of not showing up.
No one asked any more questions, they just told her to come back at the appointed time.
…
After returning to Ke Yuan's residence, Jing Yingrong asked in the sea of consciousness: "Is there any place you want to go?"
Ji Yanzhu: "I can't think of it for the moment. Jie, do you have it?"
Ji Jie Bi: "I don't have one either. You can go anywhere."
Ji Sha Jian: "Just go -"
Jing Yingrong: "Ah, I thought of it."
Ji Sha Sword: "?? You did it on purpose, right?!"
Jing Yingrong ignored it and continued: "Do you want to go to the ruins of the Holy Mountain?"
Ji Yanzhu: "The Holy Mountain of the Monster Clan? Is this the place where you and Li Chengkong defeated the Beast God?"
"Um."
"Go!"
…
