Chapter 76 Chapter 76 "I am far inferior to the man next to the girl...
Deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The trees are full of green and shade, and wisteria cascades down from the branches.
A gentle breeze blew, picking up the purple petals that had fallen all over the ground, and passed through the river running through the mountain stream, covering the entire mountain with a layer of purple gauze.
A stone flower throne pierced through the purple mist, passed through the purple vines all over the mountain, and carried Biqing and Xuanyi to the top of the mountain.
"Here?"
Biqing jumped off the stone flower, craned her neck, and exclaimed, "What a huge wisteria tree! It's as big as the marriage tree in the Yue Lao Temple!"
The moment Xuan Yi left the stone flower, it turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.
He looked at the lush wisteria tree in front of him, which almost covered the top of the mountain. He was surprised for a moment and said lightly, "It is indeed very big."
"The Wisteria Flower God should be here."
"That should be it."
Xuan Yi looked at the gleaming vines on the wrists of the two men, confirming that the Wisteria Flower God was there.
Biqing remembered what Fenghan and Ge Qing said, and didn't rush forward to look for anyone.
A pair of dark pupils flowed from the wisteria flowers to Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi understood what he meant: "I'll go further away and wait for you." He looked around for a moment, found a tree in the distance, and hid behind it.
Although the heavenly realm and the demonic realm didn't interfere with each other and had no conflicts, there were many things that everyone knew clearly in their hearts, even though they didn't say them.
For example, the gods in heaven have always looked down on and hated monsters.
After all, there is a world of difference between gods and monsters.
There is no real equality in the world. In many things, there is no conflict of interest, so it is not to the point of breaking up.
Xuan Yi sneered: As long as there is a peace agreement between the demon world and the heavenly world, they can’t tear each other apart even if they want to.
He didn't care about the heavens or the demon world. All he cared about was the water source, his people, and...
Xuan Yi turned his head slightly and caught a glimpse of the woman in green looking at him.
Xuan Yi's shoulders sank slightly as he disappeared under the wisteria tree.
After confirming that Xuan Yi was completely hidden, Bi Qing mustered up the courage to speak: "I am Bi Qing from the Xiaoxiang clan. I have come to visit Fairy Ziteng today. I beg you to do me the honor of meeting me."
There was a gentle breeze, and there was no other sound under the wisteria tree except the rustling sound of the petals rubbing against each other.
Biqing paused for a moment and looked at the glowing vine on her wrist.
She was sure that Zi Teng was inside.
Then why don’t you come out and see me?
Biqing mustered up her courage and spoke again: "Xiaoxiang clan Biqing, today..."
"The Xiaoxiang clan prides itself on being noble and aloof, and only has a slight relationship with the Plum, Orchid, and Chrysanthemum clans. They ignore all other divine clans."
A wisp of purple smoke fell in front of Biqing, transforming into the appearance of a woman. "It's strange that you would come to the Shiwan Mountains to look for me today."
Biqing was certain that the person before her was the Wisteria Fairy she was looking for. She ignored Wisteria's teasing sarcasm and said straight to the point, "Wisteria Flower Goddess, I have come here today to seek the divine artifact used to purify the foul air."
"Do you have a decree from the Emperor of Heaven?" Zi Teng asked coldly.
Biqing remained silent.
"No."
Zi Teng refused decisively, not giving Bi Qing a chance to speak. "You're such a daring little girl! How dare you bother me without a written order?"
"It concerns the lives of ordinary people!"
Biqing said anxiously, "I hope the Flower God will lend it to me for a few days! I promise to return it!"
"Not to mention you, even if the Queen Mother came to borrow it, she would have to give me a written order."
Zi Teng interrupted Bi Qing and glared at her: "Don't threaten me with the common people."
He caught a glimpse of the vines on Biqing's wrist, and his face turned livid. "That stinky boy Ge Qing! I told him to go to the forest to reflect on his mistakes, but he fooled around with you!"
A ray of purple light flew past the vines, but was subconsciously deflected by Biqing using her spiritual power.
This thing must not be destroyed by Zi Teng. She will need it again when she leaves the Shiwan Mountains!
Biqing's actions immediately angered Zi Teng. She angrily shouted, "How dare you, a nameless brat, come to my territory and act wildly! Why don't you go back to your clan?"
Biqing wanted to retort, but then she remembered Fenghan's instructions and the water source in the demon world. She pursed her lips into a slit and refused to make a sound.
Biqing blinked and stood still.
"Aren't you leaving yet?!"
Zi Teng was furious when she saw Biqing standing in front of her like a piece of wood.
Because they are more or less of the same clan, Zi Teng is not prepared to take action, but he doesn't want to let Biqing go.
She opened her lips slightly, about to say something unpleasant, but someone interrupted her: "Madam, why are you arguing with a little girl?"
"Husband."
A wisp of white smoke fell beside Zi Teng. The man smiled slightly and said comfortingly, "The Zi Teng flower porridge in the house is ready. Madam, go back to the house and taste it first. I'll take care of this."
"Send her away quickly. I'll wait for you to have dinner together."
"Don't worry, Madam. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
Zi Teng straightened Xu Lin's collar, without even looking at Biqing, turned on her toes, and turned into a wisp of purple smoke and disappeared in front of the two of them.
When Zi Teng was completely gone, the man bowed to Bi Qing and said, "My name is Xiao Xian Xu Lin. Madam, I was offended just now. I hope you will not take it to heart."
Biqing looked at the handsome man in front of her, and found that he really lived up to his name.
The other party was so polite that Bi Qing didn't take the previous unpleasantness to heart: "Master Xu Lin, I am..."
"Miss Biqing from the Xiaoxiang clan."
Xu Lin was a little embarrassed: "I heard everything you said to your wife."
Bi Qing was surprised by his uneasiness. She didn't ask about the artifact first, but said calmly, "Don't be alarmed, sir. I don't mind."
"Fairy Haihan."
Xu Lin looked towards the tree where Xuan Yi was hiding and said, "Miss, let's go talk there."
Bi Qing's heart tightened as she listened to Xu Lin continue, "Don't worry, young lady. I have already hidden the demonic aura from that young man. Madam won't notice it."
"you……"
"Want to ask why I help you?"
Xu Lin walked slowly with Bi Qing towards Xuan Yi's hiding place. "You and that young master were able to leave from Lord Fenghan, which means you have Lord Fenghan's approval. I will naturally help you."
"Is it because of this?" Bi Qing asked, "Aren't you worried that Xuan Yi and I might have taken a detour to come here and do something untoward to you?"
Xu Lin smiled and shook his head. "Supreme God Fenghan knows every little movement in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. My wife and I are supposed to be guarding this place, but we're just taking advantage of Supreme God Fenghan's leisure time to live out our days in peace."
Looking up, he saw Xuan Yi appearing from behind the tree. He nodded slightly and greeted Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi frowned slightly, nodded in return, and went forward to greet Biqing.
Xuan Yi had expected that he would not be able to borrow the artifact. He did not hastily ask Bi Qing, but listened quietly to Xu Lin's story.
Xu Lin said, "My wife and I are both from the heavenly realm, but we are different."
Biqing asked tentatively, "So... Young Master is an immortal?"
Xu Lin nodded and praised: "Miss Biqing is really smart."
As he spoke, he made a "please" gesture and said, "I am just an ordinary mortal, with a mortal body, cultivating to become an immortal. Even if I can achieve something in the future, it will be far inferior to the immortal bones of you and your wife."
Biqing and Xuanyi immediately understood why Fenghan said Xu Lin would help them.
For mortals to cultivate immortality, it is not only about their aptitude and talent, but they also need to abandon all emotions and desires and sever their human ties.
Cultivating an immortal body and ascending to become an immortal, going to heaven, is the dream of many immortals and Taoists.
But it is really difficult to truly abandon the seven emotions and six desires.
Those who practice Taoism will use elixirs, mental methods and other external forces to suppress it, and some even cut off their emotional ties in order to ascend to become immortals.
Xu Lin is obviously not the latter.
The heaven is so lonely, and during lonely days, repressed emotions will naturally be magnified infinitely.
Biqing sighed: Senior Fenghan is worthy of being my aunt's master.
This is all conceivable and clear to see.
Bi Qing said, "So what if you were born with immortal bones? In my eyes, the gods in heaven are far inferior to you, Master Xu."
"Miss, you are so kind."
Xu Lin waved his hand, and a stone table and three stone benches appeared under the flying wisteria petals.
"I am far inferior to the young man next to the girl."
He extended his hand: "Two, please."
Biqing and Xuanyi sat down, and a cup of wisteria flower tea appeared on the stone table in front of them.
Neither of them moved.
Compared to tea, Biqing still prefers fruit tea with a sweet aroma, or the sweet water found in the human world.
When Xuan Yi saw the rich scented tea, he imagined his tribesmen trekking through mountains and rivers, going through hardships to find a barely clean water source.
While his clansmen were suffering in the demon world, he was here drinking tea with others.
Xuan Yi really wasn't in the mood for that.
Xu Lin took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I may not be able to help you two with the artifact. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible and find another way."
Xuan Yi tilted his head slightly, a hint of hostility emanating from him. "I won't be grateful to you just because you concealed my presence."
"It's just a casual thing."
Xu Lin said, "Ziteng strictly abides by the rules. Without the Emperor's order, you cannot take the artifact. You two are young and full of vigor, with lofty ambitions, but many things cannot be accomplished simply by passion and determination."
"Especially the matter of foul energy flooding into the demon world. High God Fenghan and I have long heard about it. If we really need to take care of the foul energy, it should be us. No matter what, it has no right to be the younger generation's turn."
"Even if I do have the intention, I don't want to upset Zi Teng."
Xu Lin sighed, "I don't have any way to help you right now, and you absolutely cannot ask Zi Teng for help. If you anger her, this girl might be able to escape, but you, sir, might not be able to."
“We have to think of ways!”
Bi Qing begged, "Master, can you bear to watch Xuan Yi and I go back to see the others in such disgrace?"
She blinked, trying to squeeze out a few tears.
But she was not of that temperament. After blinking a few times without any response, she simply raised her hand to pretend to wipe away tears and said softly, "Sir, please help us..."
Even though he knew Biqing did it on purpose, Xu Lin still felt pity for her.
Xuan Yi could tell that Biqing was acting, but his heart still tightened when he saw her thin shoulders and pitiful appearance.
"Don't cry, girl." Xu Lin gave in. "I can't think of any solution by myself. If we think together, we will eventually come up with one."
"So... Sir, are you willing to lend a hand?" Biqing rubbed the corner of her eyes and kept her hand where it was.
"...I can't figure it out right now, maybe it will take a few days."
Xu Lin said, "For the next few days, the two of you will rest here temporarily."
He pointed at the vines on their wrists and said, "With Ge Qing's vines here, Zi Teng won't give you any trouble for now. But as time goes by, it's hard to say."
"How many days will it take you to come up with a solution?" Xuan Yi asked.
Xu Lin could hear the hint of displeasure in Xuan Yi's tone, so he assured him, "Give me four days. If I'm not here after four days, it means I haven't figured out a solution. By then, you two can leave on your own."
