When Xie Jiuniang stepped out of the threshold, she suddenly remembered a scandal in her previous life.
It was the uncle who raised his wife and gave birth to an illegitimate child. The eldest aunt almost had a falling out with the uncle because of this matter.
Later, Xie Ying became Shan Linggen, and her uncle had no choice but to send the child to the Northern Sword Sect due to pressure.
Out of the hall.
I met three people approaching!
It's the lingering ghosts Xie Ying and Lin Wangchen, and my grandfather's sister Xie Wenshuang.
Xie Wenshuang has taken the Dingyan Pill, and she still looks like a twenty-year-old girl, but her eyes are no longer pure, with strong traces of time. With Jindan cultivation, he is the only sixth-grade alchemist in the clan and has a very high status.
However, Xie Jiuniang didn't like her.
In her previous life, she was asked to refine the elixir, but as a result, she gave the elixir to Xie Ying without permission.
This time I would rather let the spirit-washing grass grow moldy than go find her. However, only she knew about the grudges in her previous life, so she could not use this to turn against her.
Xie Jiuniang politely stepped forward and saluted, "Hello, Grandma Third Aunt."
"Yeah." Xie Wenshuang raised her head coldly and was about to say something when she suddenly approached Xie Jiuniang and sniffed around.
Xie Jiuniang was so frightened that she took two steps back, "Grandma Sangu, what are you..."
"Medicinal fragrance! High-level?" Xie Wenshuang was not questioning but affirming.
Xie Jiuniang was secretly shocked.
Dog nose? Can you smell this?
The smell of medicine yesterday should have dissipated long ago.
Xie Jiuniang denied it with a confused face, "What are you talking about? What kind of high-level spiritual plant."
Xie Wenshuang said displeasedly: "You have the smell of high-level spiritual plants on your body."
"Ah? Well, I don't know. I just ate a spiritual fruit from my grandfather." Xie Jiuniang couldn't admit it.
Xie Wenshuang had doubts, but it was difficult to ask in detail when outsiders were around. It just had a very light, rare scent. She couldn't remember what it was, so she couldn't wait to see her elder brother. She is the only sixth-grade alchemy master in the clan. Whatever good medicine the clan has, it will eventually reach her.
Xie Jiuniang separated from the three people and wanted to go back to her yard first.
"Fellow Taoist, please wait."
Lin Wangchen's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Xie Jiuniang was stunned, quickly regained her composure, turned around and asked doubtfully, "Are you..."
Lin Wangchen was not angry when he saw her pretending to be stupid, and smiled and said: "Ha, you forgot about me so quickly? We just met yesterday. I came out to practice this time, and I took the opportunity to deliver something to the Xie family's main room for Senior Brother Haoran. I didn’t expect that my little Taoist friend is the Xie family, what a fate.”
But no, it's fate.
Bad fate!
Xie Jiuniang was in a daze for a moment.
Lin Wangchen made no mention of the life-saving grace on his face, and also explained the reason why he was in the Xie family, and cleared up the suspicion of blackmailing him into repaying the favor. Xie Jiuniang, who had a simple mind in the past, would probably really think it was fate.
But now my thoughts...
Oh, wasn't he just reminding her that he had saved her life?
What's the purpose?
Xie Jiuniang didn't think that Lin Wangchen just wanted to exchange a few simple words.
really……
Lin Wangchen probed: "Little fellow Taoist, did you pick a high-level spiritual plant from the liger's territory?"
"Yes." Xie Jiuniang nodded.
"Can you sell it to me? You can set any conditions."
"No way." Xie Jiuniang spread her hands and opened her mouth to talk nonsense, "I just gave it to the elders. As you know, even a child can't keep good things."
Lin Wangchen felt regretful.
This is an opportunity missed!
There are Earth Spirit Flowers in the Liger Cave.
It is recorded in the ancestral records of the Lin family that 80% of the time there will be a spirit-cleansing grass near the earth-spirit flower. There is another saying that the earth-spirit flower is a companion of the spirit-cleansing grass.
Before Izumomu Mountain, I could still kill people and seize treasures. Now……
Lin Wangchen couldn't get it and didn't force it.
Wait for him to leave.
The relaxed look on Xie Jiuniang's face was gone. Lin Wangchen in his previous life didn't know about the Spirit Cleansing Grass.
How have things changed?
Could it be that she didn't let him escort her back home? Give him time to search the liger cave and find the medicine pit she dug?
I have to say that Xie Jiuniang guessed the truth right away.
Returning to the bedroom, Xie Jiuniang immediately opened the formation and took out the spirit-cleansing grass with a heavy heart, "This time...can I still keep it?"
A secret is no longer a secret if others know it.
Find a way to deal with it!
…
In the evening, Xie Jiuniang's worries came to light.
Patriarch Xie asked someone to invite her over.
The five people present were all from the clan leader's lineage, and even the eldest aunt was not qualified to participate.
Patriarch Xie sat in the first seat.
Sitting on both sides below are uncles Xie An, Xie Ying and Xie Wenshuang.
To Xie Jiuniang's surprise, she also saw her second uncle, Xie Ping. Usually, this second uncle was obsessed with Fu Dao and having children, and rarely showed up.
When Xie Ying saw Xie Jiuniang, no matter how calm she pretended to be, her eyes still revealed a bit of excitement.
Seeing this situation, Xie Jiuniang remembered her past life and guessed what was going to happen.
When Xie Jiuniang came in, she first saluted and said hello to the elders. She was the youngest person in the hall, so not taking the initiative to salute would look rude.
Patriarch Xie was the first to ask: "Jiu Yatou, someone said you picked the spirit-cleansing grass?"
"No, which bastard is spreading rumors? It's simply too much to deal with." Xie Jiuniang denied it confidently.
Before Patriarch Xie could say anything, Xie Wenshuang, who was standing next to him, shouted sharply: "Lie! You clearly have the scent of spirit-cleansing grass on your body."
Uncle Xie answered in a deep voice, "I learned to lie and deceive my elders at a young age. I don't even know how my third brother taught me. Why don't you take out the Spirit Cleansing Grass? This thing is of great use to the clan."
Xie Jiuniang was not angry.
She had already seen clearly the character of certain people in her previous life, including the character of Xie Wenshuang, the most powerful alchemist in the family.
In Xie Wenshuang's eyes, the eldest son is a direct descendant, and is born nobler than a concubine. If a concubine's children want to live dependent on the eldest son, they must make selfless sacrifices for the eldest son.
Uncle Xie is not a good person. He can't bully the second uncle behind his back, so he keeps picking on the third brother's wool. But he's not bad enough to dare to kill his brother. He's just disgusting.
Xie Jiuniang said calmly: "My parents only taught me what propriety, justice and shame are, and what is loyalty, good and evil. They taught me not to forget my original intention when I grew up, and to keep my bottom line as a human being. They also specifically warned me about bullying the weak, taking things by force, etc. All evil things are the behavior of animals, and you must not do them to avoid affecting your practice..."
Xie Wenshuang's face froze.
The three people in the first room looked at Patriarch Xie in unison.
Patriarch Xie sat calmly drinking tea, which made people wonder what he was thinking.
On the other hand, Erbo Xie almost laughed out loud.
So well said!
It's almost like throwing someone's face to the ground and trampling on it. As an elder, your life is not as transparent as that of a junior.
Uncle Xie smiled and praised: "You have good consciousness. The third brother and his wife have taught you well. It is not the right way to rob others of opportunities, let alone rob one's own family. Father, this must not be done. A family is not worth mentioning." It’s scary, I’m afraid it’s rotten from the roots.”
Patriarch Xie nodded indifferently and said nothing.
Uncle Xie looked ashamed, "Father, I was only thinking about the future of the clan. I didn't think carefully for a while. It was because I was anxious."
Then Uncle Xie said to Xie Jiuniang, "Jiu Yatou, the Spirit Cleansing Grass is too important to the family. I won't ask you for it in vain. I will definitely give you full compensation."
Xie Jiuniang sneered in her heart, but pretended not to know on her face and asked: "Who is uncle going to use?"
"It's for your eldest sister. Shan Linggen has extraordinary potential and is of great significance to the future development of the family." Uncle Xie used this reason to persuade his father, but his father's attitude was unclear and he neither agreed nor stopped him.
Xie Ying stood up and said guiltily: "Jiu Mei, it's my sister who can't forgive you this time. If you need any help when you go to the sect in the future, just ask. We are sisters and a family. There is no need to distinguish each other."
Uncle Xie said happily: "Yinger, don't feel too guilty. Jiu Yatou has always been sensible. I just didn't understand it for a while today. I don't really blame you."
"My daughter knows that Jiu Mei is very good." Xie Ying responded.
There are so many scenes between father and daughter!
Xie Jiuniang rolled her eyes in her heart.
Patriarch Xie sat at the top of the table, like an outsider.
Uncle Xie looked at his father with such an attitude and sighed in his heart.
Before Xie Jiuniang came over, they had already had an argument.
The major sects are about to recruit new disciples, and having two spiritual roots is far less beneficial to the family than having one heavenly spiritual root. Jiu Yatou definitely can't resist now, just like her arm can't twist her thigh.
Uncle Xie knew that his daughter had always liked Xie Jiuniang, and he didn't want her to get anything out of the quarrel in the end.
So he secretly sent a message to Xie Jiuniang, "Jiu Yatou, our ancestor's lifespan is less than a hundred years. Xie Ying promised to get the God Transformation Pill within a hundred years..."
Xie Jiuniang was stunned.
That’s it… no wonder!
