Jiang Yun, Jiao Liguo, and Li Liu were sitting in the courtyard chatting.
"Sister Qingfang seldom sees me now. She is very close to those guys from the White Lantern Club. She is obviously planning to deal with the Qingwu Sword Sect. She doesn't want me to get involved." Jiao Liguo glanced at Mo Mo behind him. The silent monk was still very interested in Jiang Yun controlling him.
"Because you have such a deep connection with Youquan Ice Palace, once you take action, you will almost bring Youquan Ice Palace down." Jiang Yun said, "Sister Qingfang naturally doesn't want to owe you such a big favor. She is stronger than anyone else. .”
"Indeed." Jiao Liguo agreed with this statement, "But I heard that they are planning to join a certain sect now."
"Join the sect? Why?" Jiang Yun was curious. Bai Dengyou had Qingfang and Tong Meixue. Although there were only thirteen or four people, they were certainly not weak in strength. Why did they suddenly want to join the sect?
"I don't know the details. I'll take you there in a few days to ask."
"Okay." Jiang Yun said suddenly. "Li Guo, I have a request. I hope you can help convey it to the palace master or the venerable one."
"You tell me, which one of us is with whom?" Jiao Liguo raised his eyebrows, "Even if we have no friendship, your cultivation in the Infant Spirit Stage alone is enough for my father and the Palace Master to take notice of you."
"That's right." Jiang Yun said, "I want to go to the underground river again. Could you please ask the two seniors if it can be convenient?"
"That's it?" Jiao Liguo was surprised, "I can make the decision for you. This year's ice spring disaster will happen in just three days. We are selecting the next wave of disciples to enter. You can follow me then. Let’s go in together.”
"You'd better ask the two seniors." Jiang Yun still felt that it would be more appropriate to let the two seniors nod. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Jiao Liguo.
Jiao Liguo knew what he meant, so he took out the transmission talisman and communicated with his father for a while.
Then he looked serious.
"What's wrong, can't it? Forget it if it doesn't work, don't force it too hard." Jiang Yun was a little nervous. He still hoped to go down and experience the water monster again, and if possible, go into the source to have a look.
"Father..." Jiao Liguo hesitated and sighed, "Father happily agreed! Hahahaha, I didn't expect that."
"You are really..." Jiang Yun was amused by his heavy breathing and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
"As I said, with the relationship between you and us, this little thing doesn't matter at all." Jiao Liguo patted his chest, "Then I'll come back to you in three days, and we'll go in together then."
"That's okay. I'm not in a hurry to go anywhere else in these three days."
Xun Ge, the leader of the Bai Zeyuan clan? Let him dry it out first. He has been drying it out for ten years. Why do he care about these three days?
. . .
Three days later.
Youquan Ice Palace Square.
Yu Pei'er, Yan Wenchang, and Cai Hai who were in the Nascent Soul stage stood in the team, observing the disciples in the Golden Elixir stage who were eager to try.
"Brother Hai, why haven't we started yet?" Yu Pei'er, who was originally the senior sister in the golden elixir stage, actually called Brother Hai next to Cai Hai.
Yan Wenchang on the side held her hand, pursued her for several years, and finally got the beauty in his arms.
Cai Hai glanced at Yu Pei'er without leaving a trace, and then glanced at the tightly held hands of Yu Pei'er and Yan Wenchang. His eyes were still looking firmly ahead, "Master said there are guests coming."
Since entering the Nascent Soul stage, his potential suddenly exploded and he became the strongest person of their generation in one fell swoop.
On the other hand, Yu Pei'er, who was the senior sister in the Jindan period, had already married as a woman because she agreed to Yan Wenchang's pursuit. Among their iron triangle, she and her husband Yan Wenchang are currently preparing to have children, but Cai Hai has always adhered to his true intentions and devoted himself to cultivation.
In fact, it was only after her wedding that she gradually discovered that he also liked her, unlike Yan Wenchang, who pursued her with such persistence. Cai Hai is a very high-spirited person but also has low self-esteem emotionally. He has always been silently paying attention to and liking himself, but he has never noticed it in so many years.
When Cai Hai confided to Yue one day, she quietly heard him.
It turns out that Cai Hai has always loved her no less than Yan Wenchang. The reason why he didn't dare to reveal anything was because Cai Hai always felt that a man must be stronger than his woman. Only if he can protect the other party can he be qualified to pursue her.
To like others is not to pursue them crazily and then get them, but to protect them silently and wait until the day you have enough strength to pursue them openly.
This is what Cai Hai is thinking.
Unfortunately, Yu Pei'er was eventually defeated by Yan Wenchang's stalking and sweet talk, and she got married as a wife. After learning Cai Hai's thoughts, she had many thoughts.
Do you regret it? No regrets either. Because Yan Wenchang likes her, and she is also attracted by love after all. As arrogant as she is, it is naturally impossible for her to ask Cai Hai's thoughts, and others look down on her, so in the end she might as well follow Yan Wenchang.
Do you regret it? I will regret it too. Since getting married, Yan Wenchang has become somewhat addicted to the method of dual cultivation. Their love affair was sweet at first, but soon she felt bored and even regretted it. Playing all day delayed their practice, making them stagnant and unable to make further progress after entering the Nascent Soul.
Cai Hai, on the other hand, turned his grief into strength and devoted himself to practice. He has now reached the late stage of Nascent Soul and is about to realize the Great Dao! And they are still in the early stage of Nascent Soul!
She would occasionally wonder if she had endured it a little longer, endured it until Cai Hai's strength surpassed hers, and then got together with Cai Hai, whether the two of them would have more things in common. Yan Wenchang understands emotions and lives in the moment; Cai Haidao is determined and considers the long term. After talking to Yan Wenchang for a long time, I realized that people like Cai Hai might be able to get along better with each other. Ordinariness is the essence of life.
Nowadays, the strength gap between them in the Iron Triangle is obvious, and they are no longer what they used to be.
"I don't know which senior is coming? I haven't heard anything about it." She pursed her lips, took a half step back and stood next to Yan Wenchang, just like life, just like cultivation. He always stopped behind Cai Hai, and could only watch Cai Hai's back getting further and further away.
Cai Hai's face was slightly tense, but quickly calmed down as he breathed.
As his beloved married and became a woman, he had already strengthened his Taoist heart. He might have been influenced by Yu Pei'er before, but now nothing is more important than his own cultivation.
Before reaching the bottleneck, he will not be tempted again, let alone find a Taoist partner.
The emotional turmoil stopped the two of them from moving forward, and he had to learn a lesson.
"coming."
From a distance, Jiao Liguo appeared with a figure wearing a bloody robe and a mask on his face. The man couldn't see his face clearly, but he stepped forward to greet the palace master and the venerable man very familiarly.
"I have met the Palace Master." Jiang Yun saluted Nie Shen and then saluted Jiao Ning, "Senior."
"I haven't seen you for ten years, and you really broke through to the Infant Spirit." Jiao Ning said first, "You reached the top Nascent Soul at that time. I guessed that you would break through soon, and you talked about it with the Palace Master after you came back."
"You are so talented!" With Jiao Ning's words, Nie He took advantage of the situation and said, "Among the disciples of the same level as you in Youquan Ice Palace, the fastest one at present is Cai Hai, whose cultivation has reached the late Nascent Soul stage. They are still studying the Great Dao. If they knew that you had opened such a big gap, they would probably be shocked."
"It's a fluke. It was luck in the beginning. Being trapped on Star Island can be regarded as a small chance."
Jiang Yun still respects these two people.
"Are you here today for rhinestones?" Nie Shen's soul said through a message.
"I also want to go into the source again." Jiang Yun looked at the other party's eyes and knew that the other party had a guess, but he had to go to the underground river, so he could only prevaricate, "The main reason is that I had some insights at the source last time. This time I just go in a little bit and find the original feeling.”
"Let's do this. If you need rhinestones, that's it. You can kill those monsters in the Nascent Soul stage as you like." Nie Shen said, "But if you want to enter the source, you must agree to me and don't show off. I will kill you in the source. I haven’t gone in, but a monk from the realm of space and underworld must have died inside. If anything happens to you, I won’t feel sorry for you.”
"Yes, don't worry, Palace Master, I don't dare to joke with my own life."
Jiang Yun was also a little nervous. He didn't dare to go deep last time. He didn't know what was inside. If there was really danger, he would never be able to escape.
He also made up his mind to go in and gain some insights this time. If he didn't gain any insights, he would leave quickly and never go ashore, nor would he stay for a long time.
Nie Shen looked at him deeply and said, "In that case, let's get started."
The only Yingling guest this time is Jiang Yun. Granny Xueli's granddaughter is already in the Nascent Soul stage, so she definitely doesn't need to come here to practice again.
The Ice Spring Disaster has officially begun.
Everyone arrived under the ice palace, and the elders at the Nascent Soul stage watched a group of golden elixir kids fighting with the water monster. Each recalled that when he was a disciple, he was just like them.
Only Cai Hai stared at Jiang Yun in the distance.
"Brother Hai, what are you looking at?" Yu Pei'er asked curiously. Ever since he heard Cai Hai confiding his feelings to Yue under the moonlight, he has often paid attention to Cai Hai. He didn't want Hongxing to cheat on her, but wanted to take a look. How far can such a person go without the restraints of emotions?
Just like her previous self, she is not bound by emotions and is always the senior sister of the disciples at the same stage.
In Cai Hai, she seemed to see another part of her life.
That life of being free and devoted to cultivating the Tao.
"I always feel that that person looks familiar." Cai Hai pointed at Jiang Yun and asked, "You see, Li Guo has been chatting with him next to him. The familiar look of the two of them is closer than Li Guo chatting with the Crab King Zhang Shiyu. They With such a good relationship, I have never heard before that Li Guo has a senior friend who is in the infant spirit stage?"
"Yeah, that's what you said." Yan Wenchang said carelessly from the side, "Li Guo grew up in the Ice Palace, and almost all of his friends are in the Ice Palace. Maybe they are the new friends he met during the trip ten years ago, then A senior in the infant spirit stage talks to Li Guo without any airs, and the relationship between the two is really very good."
Hearing his analysis, Cai Hai nodded and said nothing more.
