Late Day
"We were planning to come back to find our senior sister, but those three people stopped us on the road." Li Bai held Chang Xia's hand, her voice clear and loud, without any fear or terror in it.
"Senior Sister, you gave us a lot of life-saving things. I'm not afraid, but I want to see if I can defeat them."
To be precise, after seeing Chang Xia use the spiritual rice to blow up the Red River, he felt itchy and wanted to try it himself, so he relied on the many cards he had and used the casual cultivator as a test subject.
"There are too many mortals in the city, making it difficult to operate. We'll pretend to escape and lure them out. Once we get to the right place, Ayang will poison them with the medicinal powder he prepared. Because Ayang is in the Foundation Establishment stage and they are in the Golden Core stage, the medicinal powder won't keep them trapped for long. Brother Xiaosu and I will take this opportunity to quickly throw away the spiritual food we have."
Later, the magical rice, corn, and green vegetables exploded all over the ground, turning them into this horrible state.
He wasn't injured, but he looked a little ugly.
"Those independent cultivators just wanted to steal something. I asked my senior brother about it, and he said they had no blood on their hands. I taught them a lesson and let them go."
"They left this before they left."
Li Bai spread out her hands and a piece of jade-white object fell into her palm.
Changxia was amused by what he saw. Who was giving him this opportunity again?
A stone from another mountain can polish jade. This thing can gradually increase in power as the cultivator polishes it, and it becomes more and more integrated with the cultivator's essence. It is considered a top-level treasure for forging a natal magic weapon.
The robbers who could carry his rock with them would also rob a few Foundation Establishment Stage
But she didn't say much. She heard that during the year she was in a coma, Xie Fengxue would take Li Bai out for a walk whenever he had nothing to do, and Li Bai would always "accidentally" get some good things.
I guess she's used to it.
"Take it well." Chang Xia said calmly, "When you reach the stage of forming a core, you should consider forging your own magical instrument. You will need it then."
Li Bai said "Oh" and put the stone into her storage bag without paying much attention. Just as Chang Xia thought, she was no longer surprised.
Although she didn't know why she had always been so lucky, since her senior brothers and sisters didn't say anything, she didn't care much.
Jiang Bailu came over just after dinner.
Jiang Bailu was as conspicuous as Tunan Pavilion. He was the most flamboyant and unbridled of the disciples.
I love fine clothes, wild horses, and fine wine, but I don’t love beautiful women.
In his early years, before he went into seclusion in Cangfeng Mountain, he had a lot of drinking buddies. He loved to watch the world, but he never had a sincere heart.
When others asked him, he said that there was already a beautiful woman in his heart and he couldn't let go of anyone else.
Some people thought he was joking, while others knew that it was a rare truth.
Jiang Bailu has liked Huo Tinglan since childhood, and this is well known to everyone in Zangfeng Mountain.
Li Bai and the other two went out to visit the lantern festival, while Chang Xia and Jiang Bailu lay on the roof of the inn to watch the moon.
At the same time, he also paid some attention to Li Bai and the other three.
After a long time, Jiang Bailu spoke: "Little Libai has grown so tall." He had not seen Libai since the day he entered the sect.
Chang Xia's lips curled up into a smile: "Children grow up fast." She stretched out her hand to gesture, "You and Tinglan were the same back then. You were only this small back then."
"You two cried so hard back then. My senior brother asked if I should put a silencing spell on you or something, but I refused. How could I do that to two little kids?"
"Then you two kept arguing so much that I couldn't sleep well for half a year."
Even though Jiang Bailu has become tough and muscular over the years, he still feels a little embarrassed when he hears about the past.
"Senior Sister, that was such a long time ago!"
Changxia smiled gently, and Jiang Bailu was stunned for a moment. He opened his eyes for the first time in his life, and saw Changxia's smile. Perhaps because his name contained the word "Egret," he had a stronger sense of "baby bird" than others.
Compared to his master whom he has not seen for many years, Changxia, who is nominally his peer, is actually more like his elder, teaching him how to practice, how to grow up, and how to behave in the world.
He heard Chang Xia say softly, "Bai Lu, what I want to say is that no matter how much time passes, in my eyes, you and Ting Lan are just children that I watched grow up."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Bailu said, "Senior Sister, I seem to have fallen in love with someone I shouldn't."
Chang Xia was slightly surprised: "What's the right or wrong in liking something?"
The senior sister's gaze was obviously calm and gentle, but it inexplicably burned Jiang Bailu's heart, so he hurriedly changed the subject.
"Senior Sister, do you know why Yong Zhouhai changed his name to Chi Zhouhai?"
Changxia didn't expect him to say this.
I have been killing monsters in Chi Zhouhai for so many years, so I naturally know.
The human race has its own heroes, and the demon race naturally has its own heroes. The human heroes lead the way, while the demon heroes transform themselves into the sea, providing a place for the demons to live.
At first the sea had no name.
It was the descendant of that hero who later led the demon tribe to live and recuperate by the sea, and grew stronger. That descendant was then honored as the Demon King.
Unlike the human race, whose Ji clan sometimes watches from the sidelines, the demon race's worship of the Demon King is almost blind.
He is the "sun" of the demon clan. With him, there will be no darkness in the demon clan, and the sky will always be clear, so it is called Eternal Day.
However, eight hundred years ago, the sun was cut down by Bie Jingchun's sword.
"When one sun sets, another will rise. They are waiting for the next sun to rise, hence the name late day."
Jiang Bailu let out a soft "Ah," then said, "So that's how it is."
Chang Xia asked: "Why do you think of asking this?"
Jiang Bailu rested his head on his hands, with the moon reflected in his eyes.
"According to the time, I should go to Chi Zhouhai, so I asked."
Changxia didn't respond. She heard Jiang Bailu say again, "Sister, do you remember? Tinglan and I entered the sect at the same time. Back then, we fought to the death every day to get the third or fourth place."
In the end, Changxia intervened and drew lots to determine the order.
It was obvious that Jiang Bailu caught three and Huo Tinglan caught four, but when he saw Huo Tinglan trying to hold back her tears, he felt soft-hearted for no reason and put the "three" in Tinglan's hand.
From then on, Tinglan became the third senior sister and he became the fourth junior brother.
"I've never been able to bear seeing her cry in front of me since she was little, but it's a shame she's almost stopped crying. I often wish she'd be a little softer, ask me for help more often, and rely on me more. But Tinglan has always been strong, and I'm relieved that she's so strong-minded. At least no one can bully her."
Jiang Bailu laughed at himself, "How powerful is Huo Tinglan? How can I expect her to rely on me?"
After the spring rain, the air in Huanling City was washed away by some chill, and the leaves of grass and trees rustled in the wind.
The streets below the roofs were still bustling with people hawking goods and performing acrobatics. Chang Xia saw Li Bai and Zhou Xiaosu strolling around together, each wearing a fox mask.
Ayang found a pharmacy and was helping the owner, who was overwhelmed with the workload, grinding medicine.
Changxia also heard what Jiang Bailu said, but she felt that what he said was wrong.
"Why does she have to depend on you? Why can't you depend on her?"
Perhaps planning to use this banquet to announce it, core disciples like Changxia had already received hints about Tinglan's identity, either overtly or covertly. Her fourth junior brother was so smart, and had spent the most time with Tinglan, she didn't believe he didn't know.
"Tinglan has been burdened with a lot since she was a child, so it's inevitable that she has a lot on her mind. With her status..."
Chang Xia sighed, "It's hard for her to rely on others because she herself is the support of the Cang Xuan people. Bai Lu, Ting Lan, she has always been a person with no way out."
She couldn't just hand over her fate, which depended on Cang Xuan, to someone else.
Jiang Bailu didn't say anything.
When Changxia was about to say something to liven up the atmosphere, he suddenly laughed softly.
"It was better when we were kids. When Tinglan was little, she loved the white flowers on the cliffs, so I would climb the mountain and pick them for her every day. A hundred flowers would make her happy, ten flowers would make her happy, and even one flower would make her happy. I don't know when it started, but it's become increasingly difficult to see her smile."
The two of them stayed on the roof until dawn and night fell.
Before leaving, he took out three stacks of talismans, each stack had about a hundred pieces, and their power ranged from Foundation Establishment Stage to Spirit Severing Stage, but they were all capable of being activated and used by those in Foundation Establishment Stage.
He handed three stacks of talismans to Changxia.
"As a greeting gift to those three little kids, I won't stay in the Southern Territory any longer."
Changxia saw the talisman paper on the top that had the power to distract the spirit, and guessed that it must be Jiang Bailu's finest work.
She asked: "It's not easy for you to come here, why don't you meet Tinglan?"
Jiang Bailu lowered his eyes, and the loneliness of the wanton man was doubly pitiful.
"I can't just beg to be her Que Ying Palace."
Long Summer:
"Why not?"
Jiang Bailu:
"Don't I have any face?"
Changxia: ...
How much is face worth?
Jiang Bailu: ...
Changxia: ...
She looked her junior brother up and down, and couldn't help wondering if she usually behaved too dignified and upright in front of her junior brothers and sisters, and thus led them to be too upright.
She was brought up by Zuo Qin, who was a person who only cared about his relatives, was extremely protective of his own people, and was always vindictive. How could he bring out a good person?
Why does it feel so awkward when she is with her junior brothers and sisters?
Jiang Bailu looked at her for a long time and finally sighed.
"Senior Sister, Tinglan and I... it's not just a matter of face. Anyway... I will always recognize you as my senior sister."
Before Changxia could figure out what to say, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Fourth Brother, anyone who says something like that in a normal book is about to commit suicide."
Li Bai was wearing a fox mask on her head and holding the roasted chestnuts that Zhou Xiaosu had peeled for her.
She learned the word "seeking death" from Sixth Senior Sister's storybook.
Jiang Bailu silently put away one of the three stacks of talismans he had prepared.
I can’t keep this junior sister anymore.
He was about to run away, but Changxia suddenly took action and grabbed him by the back of the collar, just like when he was a child catching a naughty monkey and taking it home.
There is absolutely no chance of winning when the distracted mind fights against the tribulation.
"I don't care who you are or who she is, just watch this ceremony to the end first."
She glanced at Li Bai and the others, then casually cast an illusion on them. Within the barrier where only she and Jiang Bailu could communicate, she remained relaxed and at ease.
"No matter where you come from, where you're going, or whether you'll ever return to Cangfeng Mountain, you must first say goodbye to us, your senior sisters and junior brothers, before you leave."
Jiang Bailu opened his eyes wide in shock, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ear. It was Changxia who twisted it into a knot.
Jiang Bailu's pupils were trembling in pain.
"I'm talking to you nicely, but you won't listen. I've told you everything, but in my eyes, you're just a child I raised, and you can't hear me, right?"
