Chapter 68

The disciple of the weapon refining master is called Xitie, and his cultivation level is Jindan. The master only asked him to go out with Yuanying to find materials instead of asking people with higher cultivation levels to escort them. The master also intended to give him some experience.

Of course, these direct descendants all have means to protect their lives.

Upon hearing that Chu Jinglan was going out for training, Yue Ming followed without saying a word, with a very simple reason: she couldn't let Chu Jinglan train secretly and take the opportunity to surpass her.

That is to say, is it possible that Chu Jinglan has already surpassed you?

Yue Ming also received a mission card. When he and Xi Tie saw that Chu Jinglan brought Xiao Mo with him, they were stunned.

Xitie is a bit nervous. When he doesn't speak, he looks very cold and aloof. He is also strong and looks like a tough guy. But when he opens his mouth, you will find that underneath his tough exterior is a socially phobic heart.

Xi Tie stuttered, "I-we are going out to gain experience, and we still have servants to serve us. Isn't that bad?"

Chu Jinglan was shocked: "He is with us, but he is not here to serve us."

Xitie was stunned for a moment: "Uh, oh."

Yue Ming put her elbow on his shoulder and said, "You sit by the stove every day, and you haven't heard how good Chu Jinglan is to his servants. Let me tell you, this guy treats his servants like precious apples. Even Yingyue Sect is not as important as him."

During the battle against Fen Xiu that day, although the conversation on the spot was not widely circulated in the sect, many direct disciples still knew about it. Besides their cultivation, it also added a lot of explosive fodder to their casual conversations.

After all, he regarded the demons around him as more important than the sect. The last person who did this has become a legend and regret in the memory of Yingyue Sect.

When Xitie heard this, he naturally thought of the Moon Lord, and couldn't help but secretly glance at Xiao Mo a few more times.

He is very good-looking, somewhat like Chu Jinglan, but his temperament is completely different. Maybe they, as music cultivators, are gentler than sword cultivators. His eyes are very comfortable.

Look at what he is wearing... a ground-level blue scaled shark silk robe, woven by a mermaid, as thin as a cicada's wing, yet layered under the glow, with scales floating on it from time to time, extremely gorgeous, not wet in water, and extremely defensive;

The silver hairpin on his head contained spiritual power and was also a top-grade magical instrument. In comparison, the only thing on Hun's body that seemed shabby was the Xuanjie jade flute on his waist. But Xitie remembered that Chu Jinglan came to his master to refine the Tianjie flute and even wanted to carve a Youyetan flower on the flute...

Isn't that the flower on the attendant's flute? It's obvious who Chu Jinglan's flute is for.

A heavenly instrument, given to a servant who is building a foundation.

Xi Tie swallowed and felt that he already understood how good Chu Jinglan was to his servant.

The expenses of the inner sect chief steward were not as much as Xiao Mo's. Not only was his body filled with life-saving magic tools, but he was also brought along for training, obviously to help him improve his cultivation and increase his experience. The other servants were all crying.

Xi Tie then greeted Xiao Mo in a friendly manner: "Hello, fellow Taoist..."

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Hello, you can just call me Mo Lan."

Xitie nodded again and again. He felt a little embarrassed by the laughter and his face turned red.

The time to set off has arrived, Xitie took out the prepared flying boat. The flying boat of the weapon refiner is naturally not bad, it was made by his master himself. The cabin is three stories high and can accommodate about twenty people.

It is not very big, but its aesthetics are very distinctive. While retaining the toughness of the materials, there are many hollow carvings on the boat, including several lamps on the eaves. Not only are they very exquisite, they also form a new magic circle inside the boat. Together with the protective screen outside the hull, the layer upon layer of protection gives a full sense of security.

Several people boarded the flying boat. Xitie summoned another puppet and let it sail the boat. Xitie took out a map and showed the route to the others.

When it came to business, he became less reserved.

"We will definitely pass through Bohai when we go to Diezhou. I want to pick up some Bohai pearls on the way to Bohai, and then see if I can find anything good in the Bohai market."

After he finished speaking, he asked cautiously, "Can I?"

Yue Ming had no objection: "Okay, it's easy to find good stuff in the sea market. Since we're here, let's go and take a look."

Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan also agreed. Xiao Mo had never seen the sea market before, so he was interested in seeing new things.

Going out to relax can help change your mood and prevent yourself from having too many random thoughts.

It would take three days to reach Bohai. After discussing the itinerary, Chu Jinglan was about to leave with Xiao Mo, but Yue Ming stopped him: "Hey, it's still early, why are you going back to your room now?"

Chu Jinglan easily pulled his sleeve back from his hand and said calmly, "Meditate and practice."

What else can you do?

Yueming: “…”

Yue Ming doesn’t understand the word “curly”, but if he did, he would definitely shout it out: Do you have to be so curly!

He thought he had worked hard enough, but he never expected that there were people who were more talented and worked harder than him.

He bared his teeth, refusing to admit that he was provoked: "Do you understand the combination of Lao and Yi? Let's go together and at least keep in touch. Sit down and talk for a while."

Chu Jinglan was unmoved: "I..."

Yue Ming: "Besides, your little servant must want to stay outside and play for a while."

Xiao Mo was staring at the scenery outside the flying boat. Hearing this, he turned around and said to Chu Jinglan, "I don't care. You choose."

He has been easily absent-minded lately, and it might be the same no matter where he is. Chu Jinglan looked at him and knew that Xiao Mo often liked to be lively, so he swallowed his words, lifted his robe, and sat down again.

Xitie opened the box under the table and took out a deck of wooden cards: "Let's play Xuan cards."

The number of players in Xuan Pai can be determined by the player. Xiao Mo had seen people playing the game before when he was camped outside the Lin'an Academy in the Central Realm.

He sat at the table: "You guys play, I'll just watch."

Chu Jinglan: "I don't understand the rules."

Yue Ming's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she felt that she finally had a chance to defeat Chu Jinglan - even if it was just a game of cards.

He was very positive: "Come here, let me introduce the rules to you. It's very simple!"

The rules were not complicated. Yue Ming finished speaking and said impatiently, "We are all family, so there is no need to use money for the bet. Let's keep it simple and just hit the palm of the hand."

He said simply, but he took out a ruler-shaped magic weapon and adjusted the power of the magic weapon with his spiritual power: "If you hit me with this, it won't hurt your hand, but it will hurt like a fire after just one hit. Do you dare?"

Chu Jinglan didn't say anything. Seeing that both of them agreed, Xitie also agreed. Before the card game started, Chu Jinglan took out a food box from the storage container and placed it next to Xiao Mo.

There are fresh-keeping runes engraved on the outside of the food box. There are three layers, and different foods are lying in each layer. Once the lid of the box is opened, the sweet aroma of the cakes inside immediately escapes and fills the entire compartment.

People after the Yuanying period can practice fasting. Yueming hadn't eaten for a long time. Attracted by the fragrance, he couldn't help but sniff and look over. Xitie was used to taking fasting pills for a long time, and was also attracted by the smell and glanced over there.

Xiao Mo picked up a piece of cake skillfully, and when he looked up, he found that the other two were looking at him. He and Chu Jinglan were used to working together, but it was not appropriate to eat alone at this moment. Xiao Mo: "Do you want to try it?"

Yue Ming was reserved: "I don't really want to..."

"Oh," Xiao Mo passed by him and asked Xi Tie, "What about you?"

Yueming: “…”

I still have a "but" to say, why don't you ask another question!

Xitie was embarrassed, but he really wanted to eat it after smelling it, so he whispered, "Just one, thank you."

Xiao Mo asked him to pick one, and then he picked one himself and handed it to Chu Jinglan who was standing next to him.

But Chu Jinglan had already picked up the Xuan card, so it was inconvenient for him to eat with his hands. Xitie also took a few bites when he was not playing cards. Chu Jinglan was about to say no, but Xiao Mo said, "Then you can eat from my hand."

This pastry is very big. The last time Chu Jinglan’s lips touched his hand, it was because the pastry was too small. This time, the size will definitely be no problem and it is very safe.

Chu Jinglan paused, glanced at him lightly, then slowly leaned over, opened his lips, and took a bite of Xiao Mo's hand.

Soft and sticky...very sweet.

Xiao Mo fed Chu Jinglan with one hand and took a piece of snack with the other hand. Xitie stuffed the remaining cake into his mouth and chewed it slowly. Yue Ming, the only one who didn't eat at the table, couldn't sit still. He couldn't help but sneered at Chu Jinglan: "Didn't you say you didn't want him to serve you?"

Before Chu Jinglan could say anything, Xiao Mo blinked and said, "We are close friends, how can I just feed you food? That's not what serving means?"

Xiao Mo scanned the cards on the table and curled his lips slyly: "You are not jealous, are you?"

Yue Ming sighed: "How is it possible, I——"

Chu Jinglan put down his cards and said, "Attract the thunder from the sky. I win."

Yue Ming's eyes widened in disbelief: "No, what kind of luck do you have!?"

Chu Jinglan took the ruler calmly and said, "Stretch out your hand."

Yue Ming was betting so much because he hoped that he could beat Chu Jinglan until he cried out in pain. The ruler was harmless and the pain was really exciting. He endured it and said in his heart, wait, I don’t believe your luck can always be so good!

He also said to Xiao Mo: "I suspect that you are disturbing the enemy and refusing to be on the sidelines."

Xiao Mo laughed so hard that he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I won't talk to you. I'll just watch the cards and keep silent."

He said he would not talk, and actually ate quietly. Then, from time to time, a sound as calm as a well could be heard:

"Break the formation and win."

"Immortality wins."

"All in all, it all comes down to winning."

The one who was beaten and howled was Yue Ming.

Yue Ming was angry and hurt, and refused to accept it: "Come again!"

The game lasted for a long time. Xiao Mo watched for about an hour, then stood up and said, "You guys play, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."

Chu Lan was shocked to hear this and followed suit: "Then I——"

Xiao Mo pressed his shoulder and said, "You play your own games. I'm going to take a nap to replenish my mental strength."

After he pressed like this, Chu Jinglan couldn't get up.

Yue Ming said as he drew the cards: "Don't try to run away just because you win. I don't believe I can't beat you even once."

Chu Jinglan's eyes followed Xiao Mo to the door.

Xitie looked at this and that, covering half of his face with his card: "You two have such a good relationship."

Yue Ming: "Yes, Chu Jinglan, if you don't look at your cultivation, you and he really can't tell who is whose servant."

When Xiao Mo disappeared, Chu Jinglan looked away: "No matter who is taking care of whom, we are not in a master-servant relationship."

Yue Ming chuckled and said, "If you say these things to the old men every day, I wonder how many of them will feel heartbroken."

Xiao Mo walked out and left the compartment where the three of them were. He was thinking that it was time for Chu Jinglan to make some friends of his own.

As long as Chu Jinglan can gain a firm foothold in Yingyue Sect and not develop any bloody relationship with Su Baimo, then with his talent, it will only be a matter of time for him to stand at the top of the cultivation world. What he needs is a normal relationship, not an inner demon.

The inner demon is a calamity that he must kill.

Xiao Mo couldn't help but wonder, after I left the message and reappeared in front of Chu Jinglan in the future, would Chu Jinglan treat me as a monster?

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo chuckled in the room where only one person was.

He knew that Chu Jinglan would not do that.

He would probably be frightened, but after the shock, he would treat him as an ordinary person. After all, Xiao Mo knew Chu Jinglan very well.

Xiao Mo climbed onto the bed, lay down and closed his eyes. He was in a good mood today and his mind was calm. He wouldn't have nightmares again, right?

This time it wasn’t a nightmare, but it was still a dream.

In his dream, he was actually watching Su Baimo's group of followers quarreling with each other.

Xiao Mo was stunned.

In front of him, Mu Jian and Dai Zisheng stood three steps behind Su Baimo, and in front of Su Baimo, two people were arguing in a weird way. One was Wang Yichen, the son of the Wang family, and the other was someone he didn't know.

But Xiao Mo heard the system's voice: "That is the last cornerstone figure, Jun Bushu of Lingxiao Sect."

Jun Bu Shu was good at divination. In the past, he made too many divinations and his predictions were too accurate, which caused him to lose his energy and blood. As a result, his skin became pale and weak, and his handsome face often looked sickly, with faint silver hairs on his temples.

Wang Yichen and Jun Bushu were arguing, Su Baimo was at a loss in the back trying to persuade them, feeling very aggrieved. Xiao Mo heard himself in his dream say, "Your circle is really chaotic, you better stay away from your ex-fiancé and don't get involved."

Chu Jinglan beside him whispered: "...I should say this to you."

Xiao Mo was about to ask him what he meant when Wang Yichen came over angrily, fanning himself: "Forget it, I think I'll go with Yingyue Sect. Are you willing?"

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "If he agrees, I agree."

Chu Jinglan: "If he agrees, I agree."

Wang Yichen looked between the two of them and sighed, "You two have such a good relationship, and are inseparable. If only my spouse and I could be like you..."

Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan said almost in unison: "We are not a Taoist couple."

Of course not, but why are the tones of the two voices different? Whose sentence sounds a bit forced?

Before he could savor it, he felt a little warmth between his eyebrows.

Xiao Mo slowly opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, Chu Jinglan was right in front of him.

Chu Jinglan took back his hand: "Did I wake you up?"

Xiao Mo shook his head slightly on the pillow, his voice lazily sounding like he had just woken up: "I just woke up, is the card game over?"

Chu Jinglan: “Yeah.”

“How many times did you lose?”

“Not lost.”

Xiao Mo laughed: "Yue Ming must be pissed to death."

Chu Jinglan looked at him gently and said, "You were frowning just now. Were you having a nightmare?"

Do inner demons also dream?

Chu Jinglan just reached out his hand to smooth Xiao Mo's brow.

"No." Xiao Mo said.

"You've been sleeping a lot lately. You said earlier that your cultivation had hit a bottleneck. Could it be that it has affected your consciousness?"

All the data are normal, but it is not true to say that there is no impact. Xiao Mo is helpless: "I don't know why myself, but I have had a lot of strange dreams recently."

What is related to dreams is that the mind is clear. Chu Jinglan felt worried. He thought for a moment and thought of something: "The Dongqing Pearl in Bohai has a miraculous effect on calming the mind. I will go and get it for you."

Xiao Mo looked very nice when he was sleeping peacefully, which also softened Chu Jinglan's heart, but when he frowned and looked uneasy, Chu Jinglan's heart would tighten.

Since we have to pass through Bohai Sea, we should find Dongqingzhu.

Rather than looking listless, he still hoped that Xiao Mo would smile cheerfully.
