As soon as he finished speaking, someone came over, opened the wooden cage, and pulled Fu Changling and Qin Yan out.
Fu Changling was completely dazed. Qin Yan was helped up. Seeing that he hadn't recovered yet, he repeated his words calmly: "Sacrifice the small self for the greater good."
As he spoke, he hunched his jaw slightly and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Then he was supported by someone and was helped into the carriage with Fu Changling, one in front and one behind.
After getting on the carriage, Fu Changling still couldn't recover from his shock. His face was drooping and he was in a daze. Qin Yan sat cross-legged in front of him. After meditating for a while, he looked up at him and said calmly, "Don't think too much. Think about how to get out first."
Fu Changling raised his eyelids to look at him, then sighed and said, "It's just that I'm too handsome."
Qin Yan didn't want to listen to his nonsense and simply closed his eyes.
Fu Changling saw Qin Yan's impatience, so he coughed lightly and returned to the topic, "Do you know anyone who has been out of the Xuanji Secret Realm?"
“No.”
"Neither did your master?"
Fu Changling leaned against the side of the carriage, tapping his shoulder with his fan. He glanced at Qin Yan. Qin Yan mentioned his master, and his tone became more serious: "No."
"Alright." Fu Changling straightened up. "Since we have no experience, let's just guess. Generally, secret realms must have some rules, so we have to do two things now."
"What?"
Qin Yan opened his eyes and looked across at Fu Changling. Fu Changling turned his head to look outside the carriage and said, "Boundary."
As soon as he finished speaking, a barrier formed around the carriage. Fu Changling then turned around, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "We can talk properly now."
As he spoke, he raised his first finger: "What we need to do is, first of all, you and I must heal our injuries and take good care of ourselves."
Qin Yan said expressionlessly: "Speak to the point."
"Secondly," Fu Changling said in a long voice, "we need to please Miss Wu and ask her more about the situation."
Qin Yan was a little confused: "Why?"
"Did you notice the sword-patterned sachet on her waist?"
Qin Yan thought about it and nodded. Fu Changling approached him and whispered, "That sachet probably doesn't belong to Miss Wu. The style of that sachet clearly shows it's used by a man. The edges are frayed, and it looks like it's been used for a long time and has been rubbed frequently. What do you think it means that Miss Wu is wearing a man's sachet around her waist and rubbing it so often?"
"Just tell me."
"It means that this Miss Wu has someone in love."
Qin Yan understood a little after hearing this: "She has a lover, but she is still looking for a husband everywhere, and even promised us to go back. There is something strange about this."
"Yes," Fu Changling nodded, "and, most importantly, have you discovered it?"
"What?"
"She has eyes."
These words made Qin Yan stunned. He couldn't help but repeat: "Eyeball?"
It’s no wonder that Qin Yan was surprised. In the entire Xuanji Secret Realm, all the villagers had no eyeballs, but this Miss Wu actually had eyeballs?
"How did you find out?"
Qin Yan couldn't help but ask, and Fu Changling rolled his eyes: "I saw it, when she lowered her head to look at you, I noticed that there was a little black on her upper eyelid."
Fu Changling tapped his palm with his fan: "She should have eyeballs, but she has always hidden them."
As he spoke, Fu Changling raised his eyes and looked at Qin Yan: "Are you saying that she is the main god of Xuanji Secret Realm?"
Qin Yan didn't say anything.
Every secret realm has specific rules, and there is also a being responsible for enforcing the rules, and this being is the main god.
These main gods are often the respected gods worshipped in a secret realm. For example, the "Holy Lord" worshipped in the Xuanji Secret Realm is the main god of the Xuanji Secret Realm.
The main god is completely different from other existences in the entire space. Other existences are created by this formation, but only the main god is created by their master together with the formation.
Qin Yan took a while to digest Fu Changling's words, while Fu Changling lifted the curtain with his fan and looked out the window.
The two men entered the Wu Mansion with their own ideas. As soon as they entered the mansion, they were called over by the mayor.
The mayor was an old man in his fifties. When he saw Fu Changling, tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly stepped forward, shook Fu Changling's hand, and said excitedly, "Benefactor! Benefactor!"
Fu Changling laughed dryly. Mayor Wu took Fu Changling with him and held a big banquet that night, dragging Fu Changling to drink all the time.
Wu Sisi sat next to Fu Changling and kept pouring wine for him. Fu Changling had a good alcohol tolerance, but after drinking all night, he couldn't hold it any longer. By the end, everyone was drunk. Qin Yan glanced around and stood up to go back to his room.
Fu Changling's eyes were blurry, but he also knew that Qin Yan was about to leave. He quickly grabbed Qin Yan's sleeve and said with difficulty: "Don't... don't leave me."
Qin Yan paused and hesitated for a moment, then he stretched out one end of his sword.
Fu Changling was stunned when he saw the half-broken sword. Qin Yan said calmly, "Don't push your luck. Hold on."
When Fu Changling heard this, he finally reacted and hurriedly pulled Qin Yan's sword, saying happily, "Okay, hold it."
He stood up with the help of Qin Yan. Qin Yan walked in front and Fu Changling followed behind. Fu Changling squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Yan's back vaguely. In a trance, he felt as if he saw Yan Ming.
In the wind and snow that year, it was Yan Ming who walked in front of him and led him forward.
He felt a little drunk and couldn't explain what he was feeling, so he laughed and said, "You sword cultivators, do you all like to pull people along like this?"
"have no idea."
Qin Yan's tone was flat.
Fu Changling burped. "Before, there was someone who led me on the road... this way... this way. He was also a sword cultivator."
When Qin Yan heard this, he suddenly stopped for some reason.
Fu Changling looked up at him: "What's wrong?"
Qin Yan stood for a moment, then turned to look at him: "Who has ever led you like this?"
Fu Changling laughed and waved his hand: "Hey, you don't know him either."
Qin Yan wanted to speak after hearing what he said, but just as he was about to speak, he heard a woman's cry: "Oh, my darling, you are here!"
The two looked up and saw Wu Sisi standing at the end of the corridor looking at them with a look of surprise on her face. Fu Changling took a breath and subconsciously wanted to hide behind Qin Yan, but he forced himself to think before moving and gave Wu Sisi a handsome but forced smile: "Miss Wu."
"Brother Fu~"
Wu Sisi raised her arm and held Fu Changling, blinking at him with her white eyes without eyeballs, and said with a wink: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, I have a lot to talk to you~"
Fu Changling was frightened when he saw Wu Sisi's seductive eyes.
But he thought, he couldn't lose. In such a situation, how could he, Fu Changling, lose!
So he took a deep breath and decided to go for it.
"That's perfect," Fu Changling smiled, and walked over to where Wu Sisi was, arm in arm. He blinked and said, "I also have a lot to talk to Sister Sisi about."
Fu Changling spoke cheesy words without thinking, and Wu Sisi became a little stiff when she heard him.
Fu Changling felt quite proud.
Qin Yan walked behind them, holding a sword and looking at the two people's backs expressionlessly, like a walking screen, with no sense of existence at all.
Fu Changling and Wu Sisi seemed to be flirting, but in fact they were swearing at each other in the room. As soon as they entered the room, Wu Sisi let go of Fu Changling in disgust and closed the door with a wave of her sleeves.
A formation lit up beneath Fu Changling and Qin Yan's feet. Fu Changling looked at it thoughtfully. Wu Sisi clapped her hands, walked to the table, turned over the tea bowl, poured herself some tea and said, "You came to me, I'm afraid you've figured it out."
"Hmm," Fu Changling raised his head and nodded, "I can see a little bit. Are you the main god of this world?"
"I'm not."
Wu Sisi spoke, and Fu Changling was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he heard Wu Sisi take a sip of tea and lower her head and say, "The Lord God is my master. I am just his sword spirit, and of course, his Taoist companion."
Hearing this, Fu Changling reacted: "What about him?"
"Fourteen years ago, someone forcibly took control of the Xuanji Secret Realm and made this Saint Venerable the main deity of this secret realm. Now this Saint Venerable has sealed him away."
"You need our help."
Qin Yan spoke directly. Wu Sisi looked up at Qin Yan and nodded, "Yes. I have been hiding among the townspeople all these years. He couldn't find me. I need your help."
"So you acted crazy and foolishly to get close to the cultivators from outside. Only cultivators from outside would help you." Fu Changling suddenly realized, and then said nonsensically: "Then why did you choose to marry me and not him?"
Qin Yan looked at Fu Changling helplessly. Wu Sisi sneered, "Isn't it possible that I can't see through your little scheme?"
"Tsk," Fu Changling opened his fan and showed a look of disdain, "Woman."
Qin Yan couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he changed the subject and asked Wu Sisi, "What do you want?"
"I want an object," Wu Sisi put down her teacup and described it. "The day after tomorrow, this object will be auctioned at the Lotus Pavilion in the city. It's the finale treasure of the Lotus Pavilion tomorrow. It's called the Linglong Tower. Find it and bring it to me. If you help me release the owner, I will send you out of the Xuanji Secret Realm."
"You know where the Linglong Tower is, why don't you go get it yourself?" Fu Changling raised his eyebrows.
Wu Sisi shook her head. "I don't want to attract that person's attention. The Exquisite Pagoda belongs to my master. Whoever gets it will be noticed by that 'Saint'. I'm afraid he'll notice something's wrong with me. So I have to borrow someone else's help. You're outsiders, so it's normal for you to take the Exquisite Pagoda. He won't be suspicious."
"Okay." Fu Changling nodded, then spread his hands towards Wu Sisi. Wu Sisi was stunned for a moment, "What for?"
"Money."
Fu Changling said decisively: "Isn't it free to go to the auction?"
The author has something to say:
Fu Changling: I never lose when it comes to showing off.
