Jiangshan was still rolling around in the big garden and throwing a tantrum. Xiao Wu put his hands on his hips. He really didn't want to indulge this old monster - he was older than the three people present combined, and now he was acting like a spoiled child!
Yun Xian was behind her and said, "Mother, I'm here."
"Are you here?" Xiao Wu turned around, and before he finished speaking, he noticed that Yun Xian's expression was quite complicated.
I'd say I felt relieved, but not much. Eighty percent relief, two percent disappointment, switching back and forth, a strange light emanating from his eyes. Huh? What's going on?
She looked suspiciously at Su Chi, who was standing beside Yun Xian. Su Chi still had his usual calm expression, showing no sign of anything unusual. "Master's Wife."
Even though Xiao Wu looked at him with a rather harsh gaze, he had to admit that, despite having watched him grow up, this eldest disciple truly was incredibly handsome. Excluding any pretense, a normal person would either be unkempt or pale if sick or injured, only to make themselves look uglier. Only he, dressed in white, stood there with a face even paler than his clothes, yet still looked as awe-inspiring as the cold snow on a mountaintop.
The main reason why he fell in love with Yun Lang back then was because Yun Lang was really good-looking when she was young, which made him a little attracted to her... The mother and daughter were cut from the same cloth, so it was not surprising that Yun Xian fell in love with Su Chi.
"Hurry up and deal with this monster." Xiao Wu turned his gaze back and said, "Now everyone is just watching the fun. What a mess."
The area was full of Miaoshou disciples who had come to watch the noise. It was a vast expanse of greenery, and they were quite well-mannered, not whispering or gossiping. Yun Xian responded, quickly climbing onto the platform and saying, "Jiangshan."
Jiangshan turned his back to her and said nothing. His black and white butt was hairy and looked like a giant mochi dumpling.
Yun Xian patiently called out again, "Jiangshan."
Misty air was rising from Jiangshan's body, and it looked like he was about to transform into a human form and have a serious argument with Yun Xian. Unexpectedly, Yun Xian immediately raised his hand to stop him: "Don't! Just keep it like this!"
In her animal form, she can still be full of love, but in her human form, she just feels like she deserves a beating!
Jiang Shan stopped obediently, full of complaints: "I've realized now that you tricked me into coming to the Southern Realm. You don't like me at all, you just think I'm useful! You said you'd let Xue Lingxiu build me a big garden. I waited for a long time, and it's finally completed, but now I have to go back to the Northern Realm in a few days? Then tell me, how am I going to get back? I'm not going back!!"
Everyone couldn't help but criticize, you only realized it now...
"Oh, that's not the way to put it." Yun Xian said calmly, "It's not that I didn't want to build it for you, but the situation was urgent before and everyone was short of manpower. Didn't they build it for you as soon as it was ready? Even I don't get this treatment. Do you know that your heroic beast that day has spread throughout Nancheng. Now everyone knows you when they go out!"
"..." Jiang Shan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, but it quickly fell back down. He said unreasonably, "You can go back to the Northern Territory, but you can make this into a vehicle. I want to ride it back."
This is simply asking too much. The Miaoshou Sect practices medicine, not formations. The larger the vehicle, the greater the power required for the formation. This garden is almost larger than two rooms. How are they going to do this?
Xiao Wu was no pushover; no matter what he said, he was adamant on this demand and wouldn't budge. He couldn't even suggest rebuilding in the Northern Territory; he simply wouldn't agree.
Unexpectedly, Yun Xian didn't hesitate at all. He changed the subject and said, "Actually, we don't do it now for a reason. You are such a rare and majestic beast form, of course you have to maintain a sense of mystery. How can you just show it to people on the street? It's too cheap! What's more, your fur is now healed, different from before. When we get to the Northern Territory, I will ask Miss Liu to build a large pavilion for you and charge admission. You have to pay to see you! Amaze everyone!"
Jiang Shandou's eyebrows slowly furrowed. "That's... not wrong. But why not build it in the southern border?"
"Jiangshan, you have to consider the occasion," Yun Xian said sincerely, "Nowadays, many people in South City haven't even built their houses yet, so how can they have the leisure to come and see you? The North Realm is different, right?"
Jiang Shan was silent: "..."
Yun Xian asked, "Jiangshan?"
Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Shan finally nodded his head with difficulty and said, "Okay. This time, you are not allowed to lie to me again!"
In just a few words, the matter was settled.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in regret.
Xiao Wu stood aside and sighed, "As expected of her, she really found the right medicine for the problem."
Su Chi pursed his lips, looked at Yun Xian's back, and said silently for a long while: "She has always been very good at coaxing people."
Xiao Wu: "..." There was clearly nothing unusual in what he said, but there was a sour smell that came from nowhere and was pungent.
It was hard to refuse Master Li's hospitality, so the group stayed in Nancheng for another ten days before packing up and preparing to set off.
Xiao Wu and Ming Guang had come in a hurry, so naturally they didn't have anything to bring. Only Fang Fei brought a lot of clothes and accessories. He wanted to clean up, but ended up getting into a fight. Now, the dark circles under his eyes were even more resentful: "..."
In the last battle, from the Sect Leader to Li Yuan, there was really no one who was not injured. Now, those with less serious injuries were just taking care of the more seriously injured. Anyone who could get up was busy. The entire sect was filled with a pungent smell of medicine.
Yun Xian’s injuries were actually not light, but he was considered to be relatively well-treated among the group. Except when he was talking, the wound would be pulled and he would feel pain.
It was time to leave. Li Jianye selected another psychic vehicle from the Miaoshou Sect's treasury. It looked like a Southern-style pleasure boat, but it was actually amphibious, transforming into a mobile home capable of accommodating several people. Yun Xian strapped his small bag to his back, and Taiping took it in his pocket. Upon leaving the sect, he saw this magical vehicle. His hands, unwilling to even touch it, trembled. "This, this..."
A cultivation-world version of a motorhome! It's two stories high! There's even a steering hole at the top, offering a panoramic view of the mountains. It's just what Yun Xian wanted.
"Don't worry." Li Pei seemed to guess what she was about to say, that she was going to ask about the price, and said with a smile: "There are still several in the Miaoshoumen treasury."
Yun Xian skipped the price inquiry step and said, "How can this be so embarrassing!"
As long as she doesn't know the price, she'll feel more at ease putting it away. This is the wisdom of survival.
Qiao Lingshan: “…” I’ve never seen you feel embarrassed.
Feng Ye: "That's right."
Qiao Lingshan: “?!”
She didn’t even say it out loud!! Feng Ye could also be “just”?!
Despite his busy schedule, Li Jianye still managed to take some time off and personally come to the sect to say farewell. Li Yuan also came, carrying a cart full of various glittering magical weapons and elixirs. Li Jianye said, "I haven't treated you all well since you came to Nancheng. Instead, I've caused you so much trouble. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."
Xiao Wu watched the younger generation's storage rings overflowing with stuff, thinking, "No wonder these kids never ask me for money." Look, how lovable they are.
"I'll have to trouble you to entertain Lingxiu later." Li Jianye coughed twice, clutching his chest, and said slowly, "You're all seriously injured and need to be well cared for. Logically, you shouldn't be traveling anymore. ...But, I also know that I can't stop you. You're at your weakest right now, so don't let your appearance of being able to run and jump fool you. April is a late spring cold, and many of our disciples have caught colds recently. Although steering the ship is fun, it's best not to be exposed to the wind. Do you understand?"
It seems that this is another thing Xue Lingxiu learned from his elder sister. His usual speech was very plain, but when he treated patients, he was unusually gentle. Yun Xian felt a spring breeze on his face and nodded, "I know, I know."
South City wasn't unsealed so quickly. Although the situation seemed to be over, caution was not an option. Li Jianye hired two teams of expert guards outside the city to escort everyone all the way to the northern boundary. Even for the short distance from the sect to the city boundary, Li Pei accompanied them, demonstrating his meticulous care.
While she was giving these instructions, Xue Lingxiu was holding her folding fan, looking a little absent-minded.
Yun Xian saw it at a glance and said, "Brother Xue, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xue Lingxiu came back to her senses and said noncommittally, "Have you brought everything?"
Yun Xian now realized that this man was so awkward that he had to ask him three times to get the truth from him even if he was beating around the bush. "I brought everything. So, what happened?"
Xue Lingxiu looked outward, then lowered her eyes slightly. "South City has so many specialties, but you came here and only ate at a wonton stand. ... Well, now even the wonton stand can't be set up."
The group looked at each other in confusion.
So that's what you're worried about! I feel it's a shame that everyone has come all this way here, but I haven't treated them well.
"Nothing." Yun Xian said casually, "What's the big deal?"
Xue Lingxiu said sinisterly, "You think it's nothing now?"
"It's not like we can only come here once in this lifetime." Yun Xian patted him and said, "It won't be too late to come to the Southern Realm next time!"
Xue Lingxiu: “…”
These words seemed to soothe him a little, and his expression looked less gloomy.
A moment later, Master Mingguang and Qi Zhiye hurried over. They'd both been exhausted these past few days. Qi Zhiye's face had grown even sharper. Seeing Xue Lingxiu's displeasure and her continued presence, he felt like speaking—but he knew it wouldn't be anything good.
Xue Lingxiu looked towards him following the sound.
Qi Zhiye opened his mouth and looked at his face. It seemed as if he suddenly thought of something. His expression changed for a moment, and then he forced himself to swallow his words back.
Although he didn't say anything, everyone seemed to be able to understand what he said.
This person cried so miserably before, and it seems that he is in a bad mood, so he stopped talking so badly.
It was really too considerate. Xue Lingxiu's expression, which had just improved, suddenly became even worse: "......"
"Let's go! Let's all go up!" Yun Xian called out, "Take your things with you, don't forget anything!"
This pleasure boat is large enough to seat more than a dozen people, and there are six or seven small rooms. People come in one after another and can just look through the windows at the Miaoshou Gate below.
Su Chi activated his spiritual power and the pleasure boat slowly opened. In his sight, the towering sect gradually moved away, and he could vaguely see Qinghe's shadow standing in front of the door. In addition to the longevity lock hanging around her neck, she also had a jade pendant with a Pisces pattern on it. Her small head was slowly waving towards him.
She finally accepted the jade pendant.
Outside the walls of the Miaoshou Sect, flowers were piled one after another. Gypsophila and February orchids were densely packed together, spontaneously piled together by the people of South City. Although small and fragmented, they looked particularly spectacular.
Xue Lingxiu suddenly remembered what his great-grandmother had said to him when he was very young.
"A doctor cannot heal himself, Xiu. Some things require you to pay a price before you can understand them."
He looked into the distance, his gaze gradually becoming firm.
“…”
Although the Miaoshou Sect was still blocking South City, it was impossible for such a major event to remain airtight. As soon as the group emerged from the blockade, they saw several tabloid reporters who had been held back outside. They were staring with eager eyes, reading and writing on paper.
"Seeing them now, it feels like a lifetime ago." Yun Xian sighed, "The last time they were fabricated was the last time—wait, let me see what they're writing about?"
Face is something that can't be used to earn spirit stones. Yun Xian was about to go and see, but they were still racing against time, with no intention of restraining themselves at all:
Dog Sword reappears in the Southern Realm! Wherever she goes, trouble follows. Can she turn the tide and save the world?
Su Chi is weak and frail, I suspect he has a short lifespan. Heaven is jealous of his beauty. Miserable! Miserable! Miserable!
Master Xue performed his duties as a gracious host, but he looked extremely unhappy as he left the city. Could it be that he was displeased with the group, who were like locusts swarming through his territory?
Qi Zhiye has close contact with the Third Sect Leader, Li Pei! He is suspected of marrying into the Miaoshou Sect!!
"Tear it up and rewrite it!" Qi Zhiye said with a sullen face, "What do you mean by close contact?! It was just a touching of fingers when receiving something!"
Master Mingguang said weakly, "It's really... too outrageous!"
If you care about what they write, you've lost. Su Chi showed no resentment at being cursed to an early death. Instead, he calmly steered the ship in the predetermined direction.
Yun Xian couldn't sit still for long after they started their journey. He couldn't just go down to get some fresh air, so he crawled all the way to the helm and said, "Big Brother, let me do it."
"No need." Su Chi said, "The headmaster said it's not a good time to catch a cold."
Yun Xian: "Oh! We are all cultivators, what could happen? You have been driving for so long, you must be tired, go down and let me take over."
Su Chi tilted his head slightly: "Can't I stay here with you?"
Yun Xian: “…”
You again! You didn't mean it that way. It's really annoying to keep saying this kind of thing!
Su Chi was pushed down by Yun Xian with a puzzled look on his face.
Yun Xian steered the boat for a while before finally understanding why Sect Leader Li had said it was fun. It really was fun. Standing high up, you could see far, the scenery of the southern border changing in the distance, your heart moving as you pleased, and you could even wind your way out in a serpentine shape. The only downside was the strong wind, nearly blowing her cheeks off.
Yun Xian played for a while, and Xiao Wu called her from below: "Xiao Xian, eat."
"I'll play for a while longer!"
"..." Xiao Wu came up, "What's so fun?"
Soon, there were two people playing on top.
The person who went to call for dinner had disappeared. Xue Lingxiu came over, put her hands on her hips and shouted from below: "Eat!"
The mother and daughter finally came down and took over as the other person to play.
In just one day, several people were replaced at the helm. Everyone thought they were still full of energy despite their injuries. Little did they know that Li Jianye's specific warning was because he knew something was bound to happen. If it was just a minor cold, would she have said that?
Sure enough, when they woke up the next morning, Su Chi was the only one who could stand.
Everyone, including Master Mingguang, caught a cold. Yun, Xue, Qi, Qiao Feng and the other five were lying in a twisted state in the large room in the center, their faces pale.
Su Chi rarely saw such a helpless expression: "I told you long ago, you can't..."
Yun Xian smiled at him foolishly, looking so well behaved, a rare sight.
"Forget it." Su Chi couldn't bear to continue and sighed, "Alas."
