Chapter 98 The Eldest Disciple of the Joyous Union Sect VS Grandmaster Guangfeng Jiyue 15

In the middle of the night.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Jiang Zhiyi finally fell asleep.

Xu Wenye sent Po Nian to Lingzhong Palace to retrieve several talismans and deliver them to him.

Xu Wenye has always been very intelligent, and this intelligence is not only reflected in his cultivation.

He can quickly master anything he wants to learn or understand.

Previously, he was focused on enlightenment and cultivation, so he didn't care about anything else. He was unwilling to put his mind to it or know anything about it, and attributed it all to distractions.

Now, for Jiang Zhiyi's sake, he has indeed spent a lot of energy thinking about love.

He thought about many things, some he had seen on Mount Ling, and some he had seen while cultivating in the mortal world. These were all examples he could refer to...

He retrieved the relevant memories, and then carefully examined everything related to his feelings.

Previously, he was still immersed in immense joy, delighted that the two of them truly loved each other.

But now, he has keenly sensed that something is strange between them, at least it is different from the feelings he has for the people he has met in his memory.

Thoughts and intentions.

Xu Wenye has never been very patient.

He asked, but she was unwilling to answer; she hesitated and stammered. So he had to find a way to get her to talk.

"You're so disobedient." He kissed the corner of her lips and then reached out to touch her loose hair.

Jiang Zhiyi remained asleep, completely unaware of what was happening.

Breaking through the illusions quickly returned.

The black strip of paper with golden incantations on it looked somewhat eerie.

This talisman was something Xu Wenye obtained by chance when he went down the mountain to train; it was quite an interesting story.

At that time, he disguised himself as an ordinary disciple of the immortal sect and traveled through the mortal world. When he passed through a mountain town, he accidentally exposed his cultivation level and was then entangled by a local wealthy merchant who kept asking him for help.

The wealthy merchant confessed that his wife was possessed by an evil spirit and had lost her mind, falling in love with a demon.

Now he lives in constant fear. If he doesn't drive away the evil spirits, not only his wife, but he himself might not be able to survive.

Xu Wenye originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but the wealthy merchant said that the demon was extremely powerful and that he had already consulted many immortal masters, but none of them could do anything about it.

The wealthy merchant kept begging him to help exorcise the demon.

Xu Wenye then did not refuse, as he also wanted to see what kind of monster was causing trouble here.

The wealthy merchant said, "This talisman was given to me by a Taoist priest. He said that if I used this talisman, no matter what I asked my wife, she would tell me the truth."

"I intended to use this to test the lady's sincerity towards me, but I never expected her to say that she liked a monster outside the city. How strange!"

"I think she must be possessed by an evil spirit, which is why she said such bizarre things."

"My wife and I have always been deeply in love. How can we tolerate this evil spirit causing trouble? I beg the immortal to save my wife's life!"

Xu Wenye then stayed in the wealthy merchant's mansion for three days, and soon he discovered the truth.

Unexpectedly, the wealthy merchant's wife was actually a demon in disguise, who married him only to make money. She had also known the demon outside the city for a long time.

Xu Wenye originally intended to kill both of these demons.

Unexpectedly, the wealthy businessman, upon learning the truth, pleaded with him to spare his wife's life.

"Immortal, please wait. I intend to handle this matter myself. You have worked hard these past few days, and I have a generous gift for you."

Xu Wenye then refrained from making a move.

He didn't care how the wealthy businessman handled things afterward.

Xu Wenye was in a hurry to get on his way, so he only asked the wealthy merchant for a few talismans and then left.

...

Xu Wenye glanced at the talisman floating in the air, then looked at the person in his arms.

The talisman began to burn...

"Jiang Zhiyi, who is your favorite person?" he asked softly.

The wealthy merchant told him that the talisman had limited effects and was best used when the person was drunk or asleep, so this was the perfect time.

Jiang Zhiyi was in a daze in her dream, and all she could hear was someone asking her questions, which was very annoying.

She heard the voice again telling her that as long as she answered obediently, he would not bother her.

If she doesn't answer, then you have to keep tormenting her and making her suffer.

"No!" Jiang Zhiyi gave this answer.

Her favorite person is herself, of course.

However, she felt that in general, one should rule out their own identity first when faced with such questions, so she could only answer that she didn't.

Xu Wenye was stunned, not expecting to hear such an answer, so he changed his question.

He asked, "Then who is the person you care about?"

Jiang Zhiyi frowned in thought; this question was really difficult to answer.

She has so many people she cares about, and it would take a long time to talk about them all, which would be exhausting.

“My younger brother…” Jiang Zhiyi prepared to speak slowly, one by one.

Xu Wenye remembered that she did indeed have a younger brother, and the two siblings had a very good relationship.

I don't know how they get along, but it certainly isn't like the relationship between me and my senior sister.

An elder sister is like a mother, and her senior sister has always been the one who takes care of her. Jiang Zhiyi definitely doesn't know how to take care of people, so her younger brother will probably have to serve her.

"Is there anything else? Just your brother?"

"And Yin Huan, she's so cute." Jiang Zhiyi remembered that she hadn't seen Qi Yin Huan for a long time, and decided to go find Qi Yin Huan another day to catch up and chat.

“Go on.”

Jiang Zhiyi then mentioned many other people's names, most of whom were disciples of the Hehuan Sect and had a good relationship with her.

Xu Wenye was naturally dissatisfied, and he kept pressuring her to think it over and say more.

“I’ve got it, there’s also Xiao Xu, Xiao Wen, and Xiao Ye. But they’re not people, so can they be counted?” Jiang Zhiyi asked.

Xu Wenye was so angry that his face turned black.

These three names refer to the three spirit beasts raised in the fairy spring outside the Lingzhong Palace.

At that time, Jiang Zhiyi deliberately teased him, insisting on giving the three spirit beasts such names.

In the days that followed, he didn't really want to see her, so she stayed at the Spirit Spring and played with the spirit beasts.

"Xiao Xu, why are you eating grass here again? Leave some for your two younger brothers!"

"Xiao Ye, you look like you're about to die! Have you not eaten for three days?!"

Jiang Zhiyi shouts at the top of his lungs every day to talk to the spirit beast, making it impossible for him to do anything else.

Many times, he was forced to let her in, and then she would pester him to let her cultivate together with him.

"Is there anyone else? Did you forget to mention the most important person?" Xu Wenye asked her.

Jiang Zhiyi frowned and thought for a long time to make sure she hadn't made any mistakes.

"That's all! I've said everything."

She hid herself under the covers and fell into a deep sleep, never to answer another word.

Xu Wenye stared coldly at the talisman in front of him for a long time.

Suddenly, he directly summoned the raging fire with a spell.

He watched as the flickering flames burned the talisman to ashes, which then vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.

It's a crooked and heretical path; you can choose not to believe it.
