Chapter 177: Sister and brother reunited
The dinner ended in a noisy atmosphere. There was no wine or meat, but it couldn't resist the desire of the people.
The Huajian Sect outside Dongleng Valley was deserted, with patrolling disciples walking solemnly with weapons and beasts in their hands, while inside Dongleng Valley, it was a completely different scene, bustling with activity. If the Huajian Sect disciples behind the restrictions knew what was going on inside, they would probably be extremely depressed.
Late at night, when everyone was fast asleep, two figures quietly slipped out of the Donleng Valley and, under the strict surveillance of the Huajian Valley guards, they quietly left, galloping all the way towards the Yunxiao Sect.
These two people were Shi Yan and Dong Qi.
Shi Yan looked at Dong Qi with an apologetic look on his face, "Dong Qi, I'm sorry for dragging you out in the middle of the night."
Dong Qi smiled and said nothing. How could he be dissatisfied? Who was Shi Yan? He was the contractor of the absolute contract. He didn't dare to think about who could use the absolute contract. However, after getting along with him for a long time, Dong Qi gradually found that this master was not bad. He would not use his status as a master to force them to do things they didn't want to do. He didn't treat them as contracted spirit beasts, but as friends and partners. Sometimes, this master would even be bullied by them.
Thinking of Shi Yan's aggrieved look, Dongqi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Shi Yan was puzzled. He didn't know what was wrong with this guy beside him. He laughed inexplicably in the middle of the night. Shi Yan asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
Dong Qi's weird and ugly laughter suddenly stopped. He looked weird and glared at Shi Yan fiercely. He cursed in his heart, "You are the one who got smoked. Your whole family got smoked! Humph!!!"
The moon was very big, and the earth looked like it was covered with a layer of snow.
Two figures were flying under the snowy moonlight, just like fairies clad in white gauze, flying in the sky.
When they were approaching Yunxiao Sect, Shi Yan asked Dongqi to turn east. In order to accommodate the envoy from Tianmen Territory, who was Shi Yan's sister, Yunxiao Sect specially opened the highest standard of floating clouds to entertain her.
This place covers an area of 10,000 mu, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, towers, and waterfalls. It is called Caiyunju. Caiyunju is a place for entertaining distinguished guests. Of course, not all distinguished guests can enter. Only people like Shi Xin are qualified to live here. After hundreds of years of construction, Shi Xin is the first guest to live in Caiyunju.
That day, when Shi Yan left Yunxiao Sect, Shi Xin sent a message to him to find her at Caiyunju at night, but he had something to do that night and forgot her instructions for a moment.
"Coming today, hehe, it's not too late..." Shi Yan smiled in his heart.
When he arrived in front of Caiyunju, before he could stand firmly, Shi Yan felt several spiritual senses locking onto him. Dongqi sneered and was about to teach these ignorant boys a lesson, but was stopped by Shi Yan.
"Sister, do you want me to stand outside the door all night?" Shi Yan laughed.
Dong Qi smiled obscenely, looking down on him in his heart: "Shi's way of picking up girls is too old-fashioned. This trick of making connections to get to know beautiful girls was not enough hundreds of years ago. Oh, it seems that I still have to teach him how to pick up girls, otherwise it will really damage the reputation of Dong Qi!"
"Hmph, I told you to come but you didn't. What are you doing here today?" A pleasant female voice came from Caiyunju, and Dongqi was so surprised that his jaw dropped.
"Are you kidding me? The chick here actually took the bait!"
Shi Yan rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly, "I just keep seeing you, elder sister. Hehe, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I really miss you so much."
I only heard a cold snort from inside Caiyunju, "Humph, you are kidding me. I see you have been very carefree for the past ten years. I'd be surprised if you would remember me, your sister!"
He said so, but the door of Caiyunju creaked open and the spiritual consciousness that was locked on his body disappeared.
Dong Qi was so surprised, "Are you kidding me? This trick actually works? Are women nowadays easier to seduce than those hundreds of years ago?" His mouth was drooling, "Someday I will seduce one, hehe, I, Dong Qi, will be back in business, beauties, just wait!"
He walked along the winding corridor, through the frozen Biyu Pond, around the Yun Pond where white mist rose, and through the snow-white snow crystal pine forest, and stopped in front of a three-story pavilion. Outside the pavilion, four men in white were guarding both sides. When they saw Shi Yan coming, they bowed respectfully and let him in, while poor Dong Qi was ruthlessly blocked outside the door.
Seeing his unwilling look, Shi Yan guessed that if he hadn't warned him many times not to do it, would he get angry and force his way in? Thinking of this, Shi Yan shuddered all over, "It's very likely! This guy's thoughts, normal people can't guess!"
Shi Xin smiled and said, "My Master Shi is here, and I didn't go out to greet you. I hope you can forgive me!"
Shi Yan smiled bitterly, "Sister is still angry that I stood her up on the same day!"
Shi Xin brushed her hair and smiled gently. But when Shi Yan saw her movements and expressions, his heart trembled suddenly and he broke out in a cold sweat.
This expression reminded him of his elder sister's horror. Shi Yan quickly put on a smile, ran over and pinched Shi Xin's shoulders, saying flatteringly: "Elder sister, look, I'm here to see you."
Shi Xin glanced at him and said, "Not bad. You've been out there for more than ten years and you can see that your salary has increased. Do you know how to please your sister?"
"What do you mean by pleasing me? Isn't it natural for a brother to serve his sister?" He gently pounded her shoulders, "Sister, are you comfortable?"
Shi Xin closed her eyes and enjoyed it, "We made an appointment to meet in the evening that day, and I was looking forward to your visit, but... I didn't expect that you would forget about it!" Those clear eyes stared at Shi Yan with a smile, innocent and charming.
Shi Yan immediately cried out that he was wronged, and recounted his "tragic" experiences during these days. When he talked about being besieged by the Takitsubo Sect, Shi Xin flew into a rage, and slapped the coffee table with one hand. The coffee table creaked, and collapsed with a loud bang because it could not bear the weight.
"Rebellion, it's really rebellion! The small Huajian Sect actually bullied my brother, Shi Xin. Is he really that bold?" Shi Xin's face was as cold as frost, and she was furious. Shi Yan was her most beloved and only brother. How could she not be angry when she heard someone bullying her most beloved brother? "I will tear them apart!"
"Don't!" Shi Yan hurriedly stopped him, "Don't get involved in my affairs. If I can't even protect myself, am I still a man? Over the years, I have encountered so many things, and I have overcome them all. This is my training, and I must go through it. Just like you said, sister, I must conquer the world. If I can't even solve this little thing, how can I go on in the future?"
"Huh?" Shi Xin was suddenly startled. She grabbed Shi Yan and brought him close to her to take a closer look. The more she looked, the deeper her frown deepened. "Hey, that's strange. Why can't I see your cultivation level clearly?"
Shi Yan smiled and took off a blue necklace from his neck. This was the necklace that Canglan gave to Shi Yan. It could shield his own cultivation and prevent others from detecting him. This necklace had helped him a lot.
After Shi Yan took off the necklace, Shi Xin was stunned at first, then ecstatic. She looked at Shi Yan in surprise, trembling all over, "You...you..."
As she said this, she actually covered her face and started crying.
"Sister! What's wrong with you?"
"No... It's okay, sister is so happy." Shi Xin said with sobs. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and carefully observed Shi Yan again. After confirming that everything was correct, he happily hugged Shi Yan and held him in his arms. "Shi Yan, I didn't expect that you actually broke through the blockade of the extreme cold air and embarked on the path of cultivation again! Sister... Sister is so happy for you. If our parents were still alive, they would be happy for you too. Come on! Tell me what happened?"
Shi Yan felt warm in his heart and recounted the whole story from beginning to end. When talking about danger, Shi Xin's expression became nervous. Shi Yan told her what happened after he found out that he could practice again. He really didn't tell her about the things before. There was no need to confide in his sister about the hardships he had suffered before. He was not a child anymore. He knew what to say and what not to say. He was not a child anymore. He didn't have to tell everyone about his suffering.
When he heard that it only took Shi Yan one year to reach the stage of Qi Condensation, and the time difference was only two years, he was even more surprised. This level of cultivation was faster than the Tianmen Saint Body when he was a child.
Like Shi Xin now, she has been in the Jindan stage for many years. But if Shi Yan had been in the childhood without any accidents, he would definitely be able to break through the Jindan stage and reach the transformation stage. However, with Shi Yan's current cultivation speed, he may reach the transformation stage much faster than that.
"Destroy and then build, it's really destroy and then build!" Shi Xin was delighted and kissed Shi Yan's face madly. She was so happy that she couldn't express it in words.
"Yes." Shi Yan sighed, "At first I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect to survive. Maybe this is what it means to survive a disaster and then have good fortune in the future!" Shi Yan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Sister, have you found out the reason for what happened back then?"
Shi Xin shook her head and sighed, "No, but there is a clue."
"Oh? What clues?" Shi Yan was extremely concerned about the inexplicable extreme cold air that appeared in his body. All the pain that Shi Yan was enduring now originated from this!
"Haha, this clue can't really be considered a clue..." Shi Xin smiled bitterly, "Every time I think I'm about to find out something, there's always interference from recognition, and I lose the clue. So, I'm sure this was man-made, maybe someone from my Shi family."
"I have worked hard to improve my status in the family over the years, firstly to find the culprit of the crime, and secondly, to protect you one day in the future. I have always believed that you are not dead!" Shi Xin's eyes turned red as she spoke, "There are only two of us left in our lineage. If you die, what should I do!"
Shi Yan sighed, hugged her gently, and said softly: "Silly sister, why are you crying? I am blessed with a long life, how can I die so easily? Have you forgotten that I am the Holy Body of Tianmen? Have you forgotten that I am the man who will conquer the world?"
Shi Xin wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, my little man will conquer the world in the future. Haha, look at me, I'm crying on such a good day." After that, she took Shi Yan's hand and sat down on a chair beside her.
"By the way, Shi Yan, do you still remember Xiang Zijin?"
"Xiang Zijin?!" Shi Yan trembled all over.
