In the inn where Ying Baiye and the others stayed temporarily, Ying Baiye and Lingxi sat on one side. Sitting opposite them was a girl dressed in red.
The upper body is wearing a red dress, the lower body is a red dress that exposes half of her fair legs, and on her feet are a pair of red short boots.
It's obvious that this girl really has a special liking for red.
She sat on her seat, looking at the two people in front of her with undisguised curiosity in her eyes, with a faint smile on her lips.
"Xia Youran, the eldest lady of Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce, once studied at Beicang Spiritual Academy for a year."
Lingxi introduced Ying Baiye, then turned to look at Xia Youran. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he was stopped by Xia Youran's stretched out jade hand.
"Sister Lingxi, I know Ying Baiye. Who in Beicang Continent doesn't know about this person now? Besides, I was also present among the people in Zhenjiao City that day."
Hearing her mention Zhenjiao City, Ying Baiye raised his eyes and took another look at her.
Speaking of which, I was able to enter the city safely thanks to the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce's convoy. One of the two girls in the carriage at that time was Xia Youran.
However, Ying Baiye did not expect that she would meet Lingxi, and it seemed that the relationship was... not bad?
Sensing Ying Baiye's somewhat doubtful gaze, Lingxi immediately understood what he was thinking, and directly opened his mouth to explain: "I exchanged some things with her using the guidance of the spiritual formation."
"Speaking of this, I'm really lucky." Xia Youran's tone rose, and her tone was full of joy. "Sister Lingxi, you are too difficult to hire. No matter how much spiritual value I use, I can't get a single guidance from you. If I didn't have the materials you need, I might not be able to get to know you."
"Material?"
Ying Baiye became somewhat interested in this topic.
As far as he knew, Lingxi lived in seclusion in Beicang Lingyuan. She could basically achieve self-sufficiency in whatever she needed and used. What materials could she need in such a situation?
In other words, what materials can move her to guide a student?
"Yes, Han Xin Mu, nine-year-old Lotus Heart Grass and Shuang Liu Shui, the price is not low." Xia Youran said with a little emotion, this is what her family can afford if she is replaced by other students of Beicang Spiritual Academy , but there are very few people who can take out these things. "However, if I can exchange it for the guidance of a spiritual formation master, I won't lose money on this deal."
Cold heart wood, nine-year-old lotus heart grass, frost retains water.
Hearing the names of these three natural and earthly treasures, Ying Baiye's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he suddenly thought of something. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he glanced teasingly at Lingxi beside him.
Lingxi didn't know when she had picked up the tea and tried to ignore his eyes, but her pretty face covered by the teacup unknowingly turned a bright red, making her look very pretty.
Only Ying Baiye, who was sitting next to her, could see this scenery.
"That's really not a loss."
Ying Baiye responded to Xia Youran in a relaxed tone.
He was very familiar with these three treasures. These were the main ingredients in the cat-face mask that Lingxi gave him. Thinking of the arrogant look Lingxi had when he gave him the mask, Ying Baiye The smile in his eyes couldn't be stopped.
Just as the smile on his lips grew stronger, someone stepped on the sole of his foot hard under the table.
Ying Baiye smiled even more happily. He looked at Lingxi beside him and found that she had put down the tea cup, with an indifferent look on her face, as if she didn't care about anything.
If it weren't for the pain coming from the table's own feet, Ying Baiye might have been deceived by her.
At this time, Xia Youran, who was sitting opposite the two of them, had a suspicion in her eyes. After scanning the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze, she couldn't help but say, "I always feel like you two are I ignored it."
Ying Baiye smiled and said nothing, and did not answer her words.
But at this moment, Lingxi raised his eyes and looked at Xia Youran across from him again. His tone became cold and he said to her: "You didn't come to me just to reminisce about old times, right? Just tell me, you What do you want to do?”
"Oh, have you been seen through? But that's right, if it's Sister Lingxi, it would be wrong not to be seen through." The strong smile on Xia Youran's face did not weaken at all, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and she turned to look at Ying Baiye : "Since Junior Brother Ying is interested in the material, are you interested in asking me what kind of content I asked Sister Lingxi to guide?"
"Sorry, not interested."
Ying Baiye also smiled back at her, but the tone of his words and the gentle smile didn't stick to her.
Xia Youran choked on his "not interested" and smiled slightly.
"Are you really not interested? This is the spiritual formation diagram that the spiritual formation master has seen."
Ying Baiye looked at her and said nothing, her meaning was very clear.
"Tsk, he's a guy who can stay with Sister Lingxi." The smile on Xia Youran's face gradually faded, and her expression became serious. "Then let me tell you straight. The spiritual formation diagram I once showed Sister Lingxi was the guardian formation of a ruins. That ruins are very mysterious. I suspect that they came from..."
She paused for a moment before speaking, and her voice subconsciously weakened a lot.
"The former Supreme Being of the Dragon Demon Palace."
The remains of the Dragon Demon Palace?
Ying Baiye raised his eyebrows slightly.
This woman is quite courageous, isn't she afraid of getting into trouble for her Chamber of Commerce?
But why tell them this?
Being able to say such words so clearly eliminates the possibility that this woman was careless after breaking through the ruins, so there is no doubt that there will only be one answer.
"You haven't succeeded in conquering it until now?"
"You guessed it right." Xia Youran nodded, looking at Ying Baiye with her beautiful eyes. "After all, it is a supreme relic. I won't go wrong if I be careful."
"Are you telling me this now to get me to join your gang?"
Ying Baiye narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke.
"I've already made it so obvious, do you still need me to give you an answer?" Xia Youran said with a smile. "I have been studying that ruins for two years, and the answer I got is very obvious. With my current strength, if I want to explore the ruins alone, it will be very risky, so I need an ally."
"Why now? Why me?"
Since you have been waiting for more than two years, why not wait until you become the supreme mistress to find out? Why would you come to find yourself as a stranger now?
Xia Youran's performance seemed a little too eager.
"Because I can't wait any longer." Xia Youran exhaled, a hint of gloom flashing in her eyes. "Not long ago, a traitor appeared around me, and the news about this ruins was leaked. Although I don't know who got the news, I am sure that it is a few familiar guys from the younger generation. What was also leaked out was my research on this ruins over the years. If I continue to wait until I am strong enough before going, I am afraid that my efforts in the past few years will be in vain."
As for why it was Ying Baiye?
Then the answer is even simpler.
"Because you are strong enough. If it weren't for your strength, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to meet my requirements."
"Do you trust me so much?" Ying Baiye tapped his fingers on the table. Lingxi glanced at the position of his fingers, then looked away, with a faint smile on his lips and remained silent.
"I'm stronger than you, aren't you afraid that I'll attack you in the ruins?"
"I believe in the character of the students at Beicang Spiritual Academy, and more importantly, I believe in Sister Lingxi's vision." Xia Youran said without hesitation. "What's more, I don't have any backup plans. You want to kill me? You must be prepared to enmity with the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce."
"Is that so?" Ying Baiye nodded, with an expression that said I already understood. "But I don't have time recently. You have to wait until I finish what I'm doing."
"Now that you have time to visit Fanhua Town, what other important things can you do?"
Xia Youran asked doubtfully.
Ying Baiye looked directly into her eyes, the golden eyes filled with icy coldness.
"Mo Xing Tian."
"What?"
Xia Youran didn't understand. What happened to Mo Xingtian?
"I came here to accept the reward."
Hearing these words, Xia Youran's childish thoughts shrank. She had studied at Beicang Spiritual Academy for a year, so she still knew a little about what "reward" meant.
Thinking of this, her throat became dry and hoarse: "Don't tell me that the purpose of your trip is..."
"You guessed it right." Ying Baiye smiled. "It's just to hunt that idiot, that's why I came out."
hiss--
Seeing the smiling expression on Ying Baiye's face now, Xia Youran had a toothache. The reason why Mo Xingtian was Mo Xingtian was because before Ying Baiye was born, this name was given to the geniuses of their generation. There is only the despair of being unable to catch up, which is the fear accumulated from bloody battles.
She had never thought that one day she would hear the words "Hunting Demon Xingtian" from the mouth of a younger person of the same age or even younger than her.
This kind of impact really made everything around her feel dreamy.
But if it were him...
Xia Youran looked at the young man who said this, and couldn't help but recall the battle he witnessed in Zhenjiao City, as well as Mo Xingtian's violent roar and Ying Baiye's figure walking away in the end.
If it was really Ying Baiye, maybe... there would really be a chance?
"He just destroyed Dong Yuan not long ago. At that time, he had already broken through to the late stage of Tongtian Realm. Now, he may have been preparing for the first physical difficulty of the Supreme Minor Trilemma."
Xia Youran raised her head and spoke seriously. "Compared to when he suppressed Jiao City, his strength is more than a star and a half stronger. If you are not sure, I suggest you put this matter aside until we gain something from the ruins..."
"Where is the duel with Dong Yuan?"
Ying Baiye directly interrupted what she was going to say next and asked this question instead.
"Lianxing City."
Xia Youran replied.
"Okay, I understand." Ying Baiye nodded. "No matter what you do, you have to wait until I'm done with my work first. Sister Xia, I always have to do it step by step, don't I?"
Xia Youran was a little speechless. In fact, she really wanted to say, wouldn't it be more reliable to go to the ruins first and then hunt down Demon Xingtian?
But even though she thought so, she still didn't say it.
Well, actually she understood that she was just afraid that Ying Baiye would fall into Mo Xingtian's hands. In this case, it might not be so easy for her to find a suitable candidate.
If Ying Baiye's option is eliminated, then who among the younger generation is worthy of her initiative to form an alliance?
Mo Xing Tian? Don't be kidding, even if she cooperates with that fly Liu Ying, she doesn't want to team up with Mo Xingtian. The biggest possibility is that she will fight with him in the ruins, and the chance of winning is extremely low.
Compared to Ying Baiye, Mo Xingtian's credibility is really not high.
Well, the credibility of the entire Dragon Demon Palace is not high, let alone his next palace master.
The other younger generations are all on the same level as her and can only be considered inferior choices.
"I still advise you to think about it more."
Xia Youran said in a warning tone.
"I will, senpai."
Ying Baiye looked serious, as if he would really consider it.
Seeing him like this, Xia Youran breathed out, then smiled again, and nodded to Lingxi: "Sister Lingxi, I won't disturb you anymore. If you have anything to do, just go to the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce in the town. If the branch is looking for me, if it’s not in Jiuxia, you can probably find me at Tianyuan.”
Why on earth can I find you, the eldest lady of a hostile force, in the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce branch?
Xia Youran left quickly. After a short farewell, she left the inn where the two of them lived.
Watching her leave, the smile on Ying Baiye's face disappeared and he leaned aside lazily.
"You didn't want to go to that ruins with her."
Not long after Xia Youran left, Lingxi spoke calmly.
Ying Baiye raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Is sister so sure?"
Lingxi turned her head, looked at his raised finger, and smiled: "I have told you so many times that you should pay attention to those little things when you lie."
Forehead……
Ying Baiye raised his right index finger.
Okay, it seems I forgot again.
When I lie, my right index finger will always make some small movements subconsciously.
but……
"So what, anyway, the only one who would pay attention to this kind of thing is you, sister."
Ying Baiye smiled slightly.
She is the only one who knows her best.
Lingxi said nothing, but stretched out her hand and lightly touched Ying Baiye's right index finger. The fingertips touched each other, as if there was a warm current lingering in her heart.
"Lingxi is the one who doesn't need to be on guard at Ying Baiye."
This is what he and she want to express.
In the same way, if you can say something like this so straightforwardly, why not say "The same is true for Ying Baiye"?
"If you don't want to, just refuse it directly. There's no need to lie to her."
Lingxi's jade fingers were still gently touching Ying Baiye's fingers, as if they had discovered something interesting.
"It's quite necessary." Ying Baiye's index finger jumped up and down, avoiding Lingxi's touch, and the two of them had a great time playing. "Isn't this just the news of the prey that I got from her? When I go out, I have to bring something back to make things easier."
"Lianxing City, the next destination?"
"Yes."
"Then do you want to go now?" Lingxi said. "If you go too late, you might not be able to catch anyone."
Rather than watching a hundred flowers bloom, Lingxi wanted to accompany Ying Baiye to do what he wanted to do.
Ying Baiye shook his head: "No, it won't take more than a few days."
Moreover, he has been looking forward to a hundred flowers blooming for a long time from the beginning...
