Lu Zhu's expression immediately relaxed when he heard what Ji Liao said, "Junior Sister Long, you should learn from Junior Brother Ji, and look at others."
"Humph!" Long Ji snorted coldly in response.
After a while, Lu Zhu looked at Ji Liao with a rare sense of solemnity and said, "I believe you can also see that the mission I took is indeed risky. I came here just to find Junior Brother Ji to complete this task with me. Task."
"Yeah." Ji Liao nodded.
"A few days ago, the sect suddenly issued a secret mission. After I learned about it, I thought about it for a long time before accepting the mission. You all know that our Shendong borders the Wild West, and the two regions have a hostile relationship, so we usually communicate with each other. They will always place spies in the opponent's territory, and this is the mission I took." Lu Zhu slowly said what the mission he had taken was.
Ji Liao frowned even more when he heard this. He had heard about Shendong and Wild West. It was rumored that Wild West was barren. Although there was trade between the two places, how could they meet the cultivation needs of a region? So Wild West The monks in Shendong often robbed the resources of Shendong. Many sect disciples or casual monks were robbed by monks from Wild West, and even lost their lives. Therefore, the relationship between Shendong and Wild West gradually became hostile. , each other secretly moved constantly, and planted many spies to pay attention to each other's every move.
"I have many friends in the world of immortality, but not many friends I can trust with my life. After much deliberation, I still feel that Brother Ji is the most suitable." Lu Zhu said.
Ji Liao and Long Ji looked at each other again, and Ji Liao thought for a while before replying, "I wonder if there is anyone else on this mission?"
Lu Zhu shook his head, "There are many spies from our Shendong to the Wild West, but the selected sects are very secretive and very few people know about it, so even if we meet the same spies as us in the Wild West, we won't be able to recognize them. .”
"Hmm..." Ji Liao nodded, frowning and thinking.
When Long Ji heard that Lu Zhu had accepted this task, her face became as cold as ice and she looked at Lu Zhu with an unkind expression.
"Our Ji Liao is not going to do this task. You have to do it yourself."
Lu Zhu smiled bitterly, but did not move, still looking at Ji Liao unwillingly.
The venue suddenly fell silent, and Long Ji and Lu Zhu both focused their eyes on Ji Liao.
Ji Liao thought for a long time, then looked up at Lu Zhu again and asked, "So how long will this mission take? Will there be someone to take care of us when we get there?"
"Hahaha, I said Junior Brother Ji will definitely agree." Upon hearing this, Lu Zhu laughed immediately.
But Long Ji had a different expression, staring at Ji Liao with an ugly face without saying a word.
"You'd better talk to me first." Ji Liao asked cautiously.
"As far as I know, we should have gone to a place called Badie City. There is a sect called Fire Bird Sect nearby. We in Badie City are secretly monitoring the Fire Bird Sect's spies heading to Shendong. , and then sent back the news to Shendong. It should be a small shop.
The second identity was used as a cover, so the time was only two years, and the time spent on the road was a little more than three years. Lu Zhu said, then paused and added, "This mission looks dangerous, but as long as we act carefully and are not discovered, there is no danger." "
Ji Liao nodded and started thinking again.
"Jiliao..." Long Ji, who had been silent at this time, called Ji Liao.
Ji Liao withdrew his gaze and looked at Long Ji. He seemed to have made a decision and grinned, "Don't worry, it will only last three years. I will be back soon."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Zhu again, "Brother Lu, since this is the case, I agree to this. I wonder where I can take this task?"
"Hahaha, okay, as long as Junior Brother Ji agrees, I will take care of the rest of the matters for you. I will send you the Foundation Establishment Pill in a few days. The place where the task will be carried out is far away from Shendong, so we will do it in ten days Let’s go.” Lu Zhu said with a smile.
"Okay." Ji Liao nodded in agreement.
Lu Zhu stood up and cupped his hands towards Ji Liao and the two, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore. I will go and carry out this mission for you."
Ji Liao raised his hands to Lu Zhu and said, "Please."
Long Ji's face was extremely ugly and she ignored them both. She tilted her head to one side as if she hadn't seen them.
Ji Liao sent Lu Zhu out of Long Ji's cave, and then came back. When he entered the pavilion, he saw Long Ji's back to him, with a wry smile on his face. He sat on the edge of the bed and patted Long Ji gently.
"Don't touch me." Long Ji reached back and opened Ji Liao's hand and said coldly.
"Eh..." Ji Liao sighed, and then said, "Lu Zhu is our best friend. He comes to beg me now. How can I refuse?"
Long Ji turned around immediately after hearing this and stared at Ji Liao coldly, "Didn't you say you would return to Xianbei in a few days?"
"Let's put aside the matter of returning to Xianbei for now. Anyway, it's only three years, so we're not in a hurry. Besides, Lu Zhu gave you the opportunity to go to the Nirvana Realm, so he took the risk to take on this mission. I Doing this is also a favor to him." Ji Liao said.
"But..." Long Ji wanted to say something but paused, and her hand unconsciously touched her belly again.
Long Ji is not an unreasonable woman. She knows that Ji Liao is doing this to help her return a favor. There is an opportunity to build a foundation in the Nirvana Realm. Lu Zhu is willing to give up this opportunity to herself. This favor is really too great. Now Lu Zhu asked them for something, and it would be unreasonable for them to refuse.
"But... our marriage." Long Ji said still somewhat unwillingly.
"I will definitely marry you as soon as I return to the sect in three years." Ji Liao replied with a chuckle.
Long Ji looked at Ji Liao with her eyes fixed, her hands clenched on her lower abdomen unconsciously, and she gritted her teeth as if she had made a decision after a long time, "Okay, in this case I promise you to go, but you have to Promise me that you will come back safely."
"Um."
Ji Liao nodded solemnly.
Long Ji sighed softly, feeling a little bitter in her heart, and said to herself, "He and I will wait for you here."
The two talked for a long time before Ji Liao got up and walked towards the entrance of Yanshui Peak.
Long Ji followed closely behind, and the two of them stopped at the entrance of the cave. Ji Liao looked at Long Ji with a smile, "Okay, I'll see you again in a few days, so there's no need to send him off."
Long Ji said nothing.
Ji Liao smiled and walked out of the cave.
Long Ji looked at Ji Liao's retreating figure, suddenly remembered something, and quickly shouted, "Wait!"
Ji Liao stopped and turned to look at Long Ji, "Is there anything else?"
Long Ji took a few steps forward and patted the storage bag on her waist. A stream of snow-white light flew out, hovered in the air and landed on her palm.
When Ji Liao took a look, he saw a diamond-shaped stone appearing in his palm. The surface of the stone was pure white, and wisps of mist surrounded it. The moment it appeared, there was an extremely cold breath. It immediately filled the air, and the cold air continued to gush out from it like a real substance, falling on the ground, and soon a thin layer of frost was covered between the two of them.
"This is..." Ji Liao glanced at the stone and asked suspiciously.
"This is a piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice. The spiritual power of Huangxi Fire is too strong. Holding it may be helpful to you." Long Ji said.
Ji Liao thought for a while and reached out to take it without delay. As soon as he took the ten thousand-year ice, an extremely cold breath immediately covered his entire palm. In an instant, he felt numbness in his palm, followed by a layer of white frost. It spread in his palm and quickly spread to his arm.
Ji Liao was startled and quickly used his skills to resist the cold air.
The spiritual power instantly dissolved the hoarfrost. Ji Liao looked at the ten thousand year ice in surprise, "I didn't expect that this ten thousand year ice has such power. It can even freeze the bodies of our monks. Where did you get it?" "
When Long Ji heard this, she looked at Ji Liao with a strange look, "I wonder if you still remember the cold pool near your small wooden building."
Ji Liao was stunned for a moment and then thought about it before he remembered the weird Hantan near his residence when he was still an outer disciple, "You mean..."
"That's right, this ten thousand-year ice came from the bottom of that cold pool." Long Ji said.
"I see, I didn't even realize there was a treasure nearby." Ji Liao nodded and said.
"Put it away. You must be 100% more careful when I'm not with you when you go to Huangxi." Long Ji stared at Ji Liao and asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I will marry you when I return in triumph." Ji Liao laughed, walked out of Long Ji's cave, called Snot Wolf, flew and sat on Snot Wolf's back, Ji Liao turned around and glanced at Long Ji again, He waved his hand to Long Ji and then flew into the air.
Seeing Ji Liao walking further and further away, Long Ji ran a few steps and shouted into the air, "You must come back, we are waiting for you."
