The neighboring tables were separated by a formation and could not communicate with each other. Naturally, Shu Jiuwei would not run to Yun Xian's table for no reason, and Yun Xian would not run to her table for no reason.
Yun Xian and Jimo Shu looked at each other and were both very sure.
This must be Shu Jiuwei!
"Why did she release the beast's ears and tail alone?" Ji Rongxue was puzzled. "Apart from the fact that the ears and tail can be used as weapons, I can't find any other explanation."
Qiao Lingshan said, "Maybe it's to declare his identity as a demon."
Other little demons may not be welcomed, but the Tianlong demon is different. Shu Jiuwei is the princess of the fox clan after all, so who would dare to give her a hard time?
"Wasn't she taken away by Zhong Changyao?" Xue Lingxiu frowned and asked, "Why is she here alone?"
Yun Xian: "...That's hard to say."
It's easy to explain, actually; it's written in the storybook. Shu Jiuwei grew up in demon territory, with little opportunity to interact with humans. After falling in love with Zhong Changyao, she worried that her lack of understanding of human customs might upset him. She also wanted to be closer to Zhong Changyao, so she took the trouble to travel around human cities to experience their customs.
But Princess, you really misunderstood. This is not how humans eat. Who would eat while lying down, except for people with hemiplegia?
Yun Xian took another look and saw Shu Jiuwei slowly tearing off the meat from the pigeon and putting it into his mouth.
I have to say, fox fur is truly beautiful. Smooth and shiny, but I wonder if it sheds. Judging by the one Miss Liu keeps, it should shed. But the good thing about foxes is that they can pick up their own hair after it sheds...
"Yun Xian." Su Chi moved her head back with his big hand and said lightly, "Don't stare at her tail."
"Ah?" Yun Xian asked in confusion, "Why?"
Seeing her mouth full of oil, Su Chi paused for a moment, but finally couldn't help but wipe it off with a piece of paper. "Staring at the tail is a provocation to the demon race."
Yun Xian's face smacked with rubs, and he muttered, "Is there such a thing? Shouldn't staring be considered provocative?"
Forget it. Senior Brother is knowledgeable and would definitely not lie to her. But the fox Miss Liu keeps not only has a tail to look at, but also a tail to warm her feet... The more I think about it, the more I think raising a fox is a great choice. Aside from being too expensive, there are no drawbacks.
Although Shu Jiuwei didn't look over here again, his expression was already a little unnatural, and he curled up his fluffy tail and retracted it.
She hadn't been particularly interested in the dish to begin with, having only come to try it to please Zhong Changyao. Now that she was no longer in the mood, she stood up and slowly left, her gait very characteristic of the demon fox tribe. Yun Xian was uneducated, and if one had to use an idiom to describe her back, it would be "twists and turns."
Everyone watched her leave, feeling that they would see her again next time.
After all, the princess who escaped from her marriage, her childhood sweetheart who fell in love with her, the Shura field, and the person involved in the love-hate entanglement are now considered to be influential figures.
Jimo Shu put the pigeon down and was about to follow quietly without even wiping her hands. Yun Xian quickly stopped her and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Follow him." Jimo Shu said coldly, "Kill Zhong Changyao."
"..." Yun Xian said earnestly, "Don't be in a hurry! What's more, we don't know what level of cultivation he has reached yet. We can't go there rashly. Don't be impulsive!"
Qiao Lingshan couldn't help herself: "How dare you say that about others..."
But judging by the facts, not the people, Yun Xian's point this time was valid. Zhong Changyao, with his utterly flawed character and lack of proficiency in any of the eighteen martial arts, dared to brazenly build momentum in Qiankun City. Either his own strength had improved dramatically, or he had found a powerful backer. Either way, it was a very difficult situation. Of course, it looked more like the latter. Yun Xian wondered: could a swordsman like him actually help the Sword Sect in a martial arts competition?
What's more, Jimo Shu chased him in the Four Directions Secret Realm for so long, but the final result was just leaving him with a root of illness. This cockroach-like vitality is really terrifying.
Jimo Shu hesitated for a moment, looked at the little pigeon on the table, and finally sat down reluctantly.
Despite this incident, Yun Xian's appetite seemed quite...unaffected. Only Xue Lingxiu slowly stopped eating and wiped the corner of her lips. Everyone present was still busy eating, but at this moment, Ji Rongxue's ears moved again, and she immediately looked up and looked out the window.
Another person swiftly climbed in from the second floor, wearing a conical hat and covered in dust and sand, covering Xue Lingxiu completely.
Xue Lingxiu suppressed his anger and said, "Pavilion Master, can you go through the door next time?"
"What Pavilion Master?" The man took off his bamboo hat, looked at Yun Xian, and said with a smile, "I'm here to see my daughter."
It turned out to be Xiao Wu, who had not been seen since the Four-way War!!
At this time, Jimo Shu knew how to make room, but she was polite, not too much, and almost pushed Feng Ye to the ground.
Yun Xian said happily: "Mom!!"
Although I had heard from my senior brother that Xiao Wu would be back soon, I was still very happy to see him in person after not seeing him for such a long time.
"Hmm. What do you want to eat?" Xiao Wu looked at the golden Yun Xian lovingly and said, "You've been really busy lately. And, Su Chi, you too."
Hmm? But is it really necessary to sit so close? She understands there are so many people, but aren't they almost touching each other?
Su Chi nodded indifferently.
Yun Xian said: "It's not hard, it's not hard."
"That's good." Xiao Wu said calmly, "There will be more difficult things later."
Yun Xian: "..." She was just being polite. Actually, it was really hard!
Xiao Wu hadn't come to the Northern Realm alone to wager with her childhood rival whether their children would dare to eat shit. She had uncovered a number of details about the Sword Sect, including their collusion with demons and their prior knowledge of the Four Directions Secret Realm.
After everyone heard what she said, they all had their own thoughts.
When they first met in the Four Directions Secret Realm, everyone thought Jimo Shu was already aware of the situation. But now it seemed that the Demon Cult leader was also well versed in the art of speaking, half-hiding and half-covering. Jimo Shu knew the truth, but only half of it.
She said she wanted to release the Gu, but she didn't know how Dao Zong would do it specifically. She knew the Gu was in her body, but she didn't know that it was actually not under her control. Regardless of whether she changed her mind or not, as long as the Gu was not released at the agreed time, she would only be seriously injured or even die.
If the Great Wilderness Spring had not accidentally killed a poisonous insect in her stomach, Jimo Shu would not be able to stand here now.
No, Yun Xian recalled. Dahuangquan killed one, Taiping ate one, but Jimoshu said there were only three in total, and she could only release the last two in the final battle...
In other words, there is clearly another poisonous insect that has been hidden by the leader!
Combined with Jimo Shu's strange behavior when she saw Zhong Changyao, the uncontrollable fluctuations were most likely driven by the insect and were completely out of her control.
The leader cast a spell on her to make her close to Zhong Changyao. Even if this leader is not Chi You, he definitely has a close connection with Chi You.
"..." Jimo Shu said: "The leader's name is not Chi You."
That was all she could say. After all, she was raised by the Demon Cult. While it might be reasonable to use the law of the jungle to deal with some demons, expecting her to devote herself wholeheartedly to fighting the Demon Cult was simply asking too much.
This was all beforehand. When Mingguang had gone to the Sword Sect during the Great War, he had already detected demonic energy among its disciples. He had mistakenly believed a demon had disguised itself enough to infiltrate such a large sect, so he informed Yun Lang of this. However, after Xiao Wu's recent investigations, she was certain that there were no pure demons within the Sword Sect.
They were all genuine humans. It made sense, no matter how much a demon disguised itself, it would always differ from humans in some minor details. How could it be possible for it to pretend to be an ordinary disciple for so many years without being discovered?
Where did that demonic energy come from? Could it be related to the Sword Sect's sudden rise in strength over the past few decades? The Sword Sect's current prosperity couldn't be brought about by just one or two exceptional geniuses. The strength of the cultivation techniques practiced by ordinary disciples was also quite high, and the overall strength of the entire sect was formidable.
After Xiao Wu finished speaking, it was Yun Xian's turn. She told Xiao Wu everything about the Smiling Buddha, including the story of the Son of Destiny and Chi You. Finally, she pulled the note from her pocket.
"It's said this is where the Sword Sect stores its spiritual treasures." While it was only temporarily storing the treasures snatched from the auction, it was at least certain that these were the magical instruments the Sword Sect would use at the martial arts competition. Among them was the high-level longsword that Yun Xian particularly cared about; perhaps it was a weapon the Sword Sect had prepared to win over Zhong Changyao.
"Mother, what do you think? Is there any hope?" Yun Xian said solemnly, "With our wisdom, force, and united will, can we successfully sneak into Chencang, stealthily change the situation, and infiltrate the Sword Sect to investigate the demonic energy?"
Qiao Lingshan: “…”
What do you mean by "incidentally"?! Do you think the Sword Sect is a market? He even picked up a few green onions?! She knew Yun Xian had been planning this all along. She knew it! But it didn't matter. How could Xiao Wu possibly agree to such a hasty and reckless move?
As expected, Xiao Wu's face was filled with sternness as he said, "Wait a minute."
A smile appeared on Qiao Lingshan's face.
Everyone held their breath, awaiting the steady instructions from the only true elder in the room. After a long pause, Xiao Wu slowly raised his eyes, frowning and saying, "Tsk, it's already taken, so go ahead. I'd feel like I'd be missing out if I didn't take advantage of it."
Everyone: “…”
What are you looking forward to?
Qiao Lingshan's smile froze on her face.
But Xiao Wu seemed to have noticed that everyone was not in the right mood, so he tried to save his image and said calmly, "Of course, it's definitely not possible to just go like this. We should split up into several groups, each responsible for different tasks, and cover each other."
"Group one, Xiao Xue, you and Xiao Ji will openly visit the Sword Sect to create an opportunity for the others. Group two, Xiao Qiao and Xiao Jimo, you two will just observe the ordinary disciples of the Sword Sect practicing. Take this guy from the Qinfang with you, and make sure he doesn't get dizzy. Group three, Xian'er, you and your eldest brother will go in according to this address and see if you can find an opportunity. If that doesn't work, tamper with the sword—Okay, Su Chi! Stop wiping! Keep your hands three feet away from her face! Now! Immediately! Immediately!"
“…”
“…”
The next day.
noon.
The sun is high in the sky.
Yun Xian, wrapped in a bamboo hat and linen robe, stuck close to Yi Rong, raised his head for the third time and asked Su Chi, "Big Brother, is my face obvious?"
Su Chi looked down at her, hesitated for a moment, and said unconscionably, "Not obvious."
Actually, it wasn't obvious. But if someone looked closely, they would feel that Yun Xian's entire face was reflecting light everywhere... Especially since it was a sunny day; it would have been better if it was cloudy.
But, it's not a big problem.
Yun Xian touched his stiff face and sighed, "I used the Dragon Suction Water you gave me yesterday, and it seemed to be better. But when I woke up this morning, it's still like this, neither gold nor white. How can I go out and see people like this?"
"Don't be anxious." Su Chi said gently, "It will be fine in a few days."
What's more, you will get used to it after watching it for a long time.
The two were hiding outside the address on the note. Technically speaking, this wasn't even within the Sword Sect's territory; it was just a transit point. Even so, it was heavily guarded, with Sword Sect disciples in brown shorts patrolling back and forth.
Yun Xian waited for a long time for the opportunity, but Su Chi still didn't say they could act. He was so bored that hair almost grew on him. He idly tried to find a topic to talk about, "Big Brother, how many times a day do you usually take a bath?"
Su Chi: “…”
"Isn't that a question I can ask?" Yun Xian said cleverly, "Then change it. Do you comb your hair at home when you're not going out? Do you wash your left hand first or your right hand first? What do you think of what Elder Jiang said about the tribulation of love?"
Su Chi said coldly: "Boring."
"Which one? Which one is boring?" Yun Xian finally heard him say these two words. His mood was very good, but he was also embarrassed: "If you don't tell me which one is boring, how can I know which question you prefer, Senior Brother?"
Taiping took advantage of the opportunity to curse, "Damn Yunxian!"
Su Chi pushed her head back and said, "Stay."
However, things can go awry. As they were communicating, they heard two Dao Sect disciples urinating in the bushes nearby without any public moral integrity. Hearing Taiping's voice, he nearly peed himself and shouted, "Who?! Who's here?!"
Yun Xian's eyes lit up.
Uniforms! Two sets exactly!
"Who are you?!" The two men finally saw the bright Yun Xian and pointed their swords at her without any hesitation, shouting, "Are you a disciple of the Sword Sect?!"
They were about to speak when a sword energy flew over and instantly imprisoned the two of them in place, unable to move their mouths.
Yun Xian stood up and walked closer to the two men in their horrified eyes, laughing and saying, "I am now."
