Sanlisan
Changxia happily coaxed Bie Jingchun away. He didn't tell him anything else. It seemed that he stayed in Ziyou City for a few more days just to see his senior brothers and sisters and talk to them.
Changxia sometimes felt that his master was becoming more and more affectionate.
A Kui still lived in the inn. The city lord did not cancel the hunt for her and Pei Xilai. Chen Siyan kindly gave her a mask that could avoid detection, and also left some spirit stones, enough for her expenses in Ziyou City.
Pei Xilai also plundered numerous spirit stones and natural treasures from his fellow disciples at the Three-Foot Dao for her. While the sword cultivators at the Three-Foot Dao weren't very good at formations and spells, they were truly exceptional at exploring secret realms. If they encountered an evil demon, they could slay it with a single strike. The accumulated wealth of Pei Xilai's fellow disciples was a considerable income, and Ah Kui, suddenly overwhelmed by her sudden wealth, was somewhat bewildered.
Changxia had no choice but to teach her how to identify, sort and pick up the items one by one, and asked Libai to learn as well.
As a result, we were delayed in Ziyou City for another half a month.
By the time we actually set out, the sycamore trees in the city had already curled up their golden edges.
Li Bai asked, "Are we going to take the shuttle like we did when we came here?"
Chang Xia smiled and said, "We are here to have fun. Riding a shuttle is so boring."
As she spoke, she looked at Xie Fengxue, who bent his little finger, placed it on his lips, and whistled with a clear sound, and it seemed as if a gust of wind was blowing in the distance.
When the wind approached them, Li Bai could see clearly that it was not wind, but a huge blue bird flapping its wings.
Changxia went over first and held out her hand. The black bird obediently lowered its head, allowing her to pet it. She tilted her head and explained to Libai, "Its name is Sanli San. Your senior brother and I raised it together."
This name seems to be chosen randomly, and it is actually very random.
When she was young, she saw that the bird was injured and wanted to take it back to heal its wounds. However, the bird thought that she was in cahoots with the disciple who injured it, so it dragged its half-broken body and flew three miles before it was exhausted and was caught by her.
Later, the bird refused to leave her house, so Xie Fengxue suggested giving it a name. Changxia pondered for half a minute before finally deciding on this perfunctory name.
But this silly bird seems quite satisfied.
When Changxia raised it, she didn't know it would grow so big. Later, the silly bird ate more and more, and she couldn't let it go.
The broad back of the black bird could carry four people without feeling crowded. A sea of clouds swirled around them, creating a dreamlike scene. From a certain height, the entirety of Ziyou City became visible. Akui excitedly pointed to the street and inn where she had stayed. It was the first time for both Li Bai and her to see such a view. Lying on the black bird's back, they gazed around without blinking.
There were clouds flying past them. Li Bai poked them carefully with her hand, but they did not feel like the marshmallows she had imagined.
Instead, it was icy and cool, like the smoothie bowl Zhou Xiaosu had made for her.
Chang Xia spoke in time before she could make the next move: "Li Bai, you can't eat Yun."
Li Bai withdrew her hand angrily.
Xie Fengxue also said with a narrow smile: "Listen carefully, this is all your senior sister's experience."
Changxia almost kicked him down.
Ah Kui watched the interaction between the three of them, took out a kite, and sent a message to Chang Xia: "Senior Sister, do you read the storybook?"
She followed Pei Xi and called Senior Sister Chang Xia.
Changxia fiddled with the kite and thought to herself, not only was she watching, but there was also a junior sister writing a storybook.
So she replied, “Look, what’s wrong?”
"Teacher Yao Lingzhu recently wrote a new story about a pair of childhood sweethearts, a senior brother and a senior sister, who became enemies because of a new junior sister. In the end, the senior sister committed a series of misdeeds, which resulted in her cultivation being abolished, her appearance being destroyed, and she died alone. The senior brother and the junior sister lived happily ever after."
Chang Xia's mouth twitched. "Demon Spirit Pearl?" Wasn't that the pen name of her Sixth Junior Sister? Her Sixth Junior Sister rarely left Cangfeng Mountain, so it was she who handled all the contact matters regarding the publishing house.
She calmly asked, "When will this book come out?"
Akui replied, "It was only released two months ago."
Oh, calculating the time, she started writing not long after Li Bai arrived.
Changxia's smile suddenly turned cold. She found that her sixth junior sister seemed to be a little itchy recently.
but. . .
"Why didn't I see this book in Sheng Sheng Man Jian?"
Ah Kui's hands kept tapping. "I find this strange too. Usually, Teacher Yao Lingzhu's books are sold at Shengshengman, but this time it suddenly became Taipinglou. If it weren't for the power of Yao Lingzhu, I would have thought it was an imposter."
Changxia's smile grew colder.
Good, very good, Shen Siyan’s skin is itchy too.
Sheng Sheng Man was the bookstore she contacted for her sixth junior sister Zhu Lingyao, and she happened to know that Shen Siyan had a stake in Taiping Tower.
It goes without saying who helped her publish it.
Akui continued to chatter away, "Senior Sister, I heard there are two main factions in the storybooks: one is the childhood sweetheart faction, and the other is the sudden encounter from heaven faction. According to the statistics of the Luhu Hundred Schools of Thought, the sudden encounter from heaven is often better than the childhood sweetheart..."
She now wanted to beat Pei Xilai as well.
How did Aoi become so naive? It's so naive that it makes my teeth hurt.
Chang Xia couldn't help but say, "Akui, first of all, I know you mean well, but our Li Bai is only twelve years old this year."
Akui's hand paused.
After a while, Chang Xia saw the three words she sent on the kite: "That's right."
When Changxia thought the matter was over, the kite flashed again.
"Senior Sister, I heard that in the Eastern Territory, mortal girls can be engaged as young as twelve?"
…
…
…
Changxia stroked the kite a few times with an expressionless face. The kite flashed a few rays of light and then fell silent.
She continued to hold it in her arms with an expressionless face, then bared her teeth at Aki and made a gesture of wiping her neck, which scared Aki so much that she shrank her shoulders and put the kite back.
The world is finally quiet.
Over there, Xie Fengxue was still explaining to Li Bai the various places they had passed through, their landscapes, their people, and their customs. Li Bai was also drawn in by his brother's vivid descriptions, his eyes wide open, and he would occasionally let out an exclamation or two.
Changxia thought, this is not the eldest brother and the younger sister in the storybook, it is clearly an old father taking care of his little daughter.
She was determined to find something for herself to do, so she pulled Akui over and started with the story of how the Ji family opened up the way 90,000 years ago. She was determined to use the magnificent history to drive the vulgar plots in those storybooks out of Akui's mind.
The four borders are vast. From Ziyou City to the southern border, if the black bird flies at full speed without sleep, it will take three days.
But they were not in a hurry, they stopped along the way, ate local specialties, and took in the scenery. Xie Fengxue had his own portable cave, where he could rest when he was tired or sleepy.
This went on for more than a month.
A Kui said goodbye to them at the boundary marker.
Chang Xia originally wanted to settle her down before leaving, but A Kui said that she had been relying on Pei Xilai for so many years and wanted to go out for a walk on her own.
Changxia felt that her education had worked.
She picked and chose in her storage bag, and finally found a token with the end of the world printed on it and handed it to Akui.
"If you encounter any problems, take it and go find someone from Luhu."
Xie Fengxue looked at her in surprise.
The Luhu Tianya Order allows the twenty-three masters of Luhu to do something free of charge, as long as it does not violate morality.
It is a very valuable gift.
A Kui didn't know the importance of this token, so she took it without hesitation and smiled sweetly at Chang Xia.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
They took Libai and boarded the Sanli San again. Akui waved to them from below, and Libai also waved back to Akui from above.
Xie Fengxue suddenly asked Changxia: "Do you like that girl very much?"
The girl was obviously referring to Aoi.
Chang Xia gave a playful smile: "I can't say I like her, but she's not a bad person, which is better than most people in the world."
"and..."
Her smile deepened. "I have no use for that token, but I feel that if Akui uses it, she can cause some trouble for Xun Ansheng."
The Confucian scholars of Luxelakes are proficient in debate, and the masters of Luxelakes are the best among them. Even if they hold the Tianya Order, if you ask them something that makes them feel embarrassed, they will be able to fool you perfectly, making you feel aggrieved but unable to find any fault.
Among these guys who are full of ink, the most difficult to deal with are honest people like Akui who have no bad intentions.
"If Ah Kui took a token and asked them for water, those sour scholars would probably be furious." Chang Xia put his hands behind his back and said pretentiously, "A gentleman must know the great and the far, and a villain must know the near and the far.
"If such a precious thing of ours were treated with such disrespect, there might even be a few people who couldn't understand why and would shed blood on the spot to defend their dignity."
Xie Fengxue said, "Mr. Xun made these things casually when he was a child learning carving, but he didn't care about them himself."
"But I can't stand other people's attention. Master Ya's cultivation is as high as the eighteenth floor of a building, while others are still at the bottom of the mountain, slowly climbing up."
When Changxia first met Xun Ansheng, he hadn't yet entered the sect. Back then, he wasn't the world-renowned Master Ya, but an ordinary teacher in Luhu. He had taught for hundreds of years, but hadn't achieved anything remarkable. The only thing he was worthy of praise for was his two friends, Bie Jingchun and Zuo Qin.
In fact, it was her master, Zuo Qin, and Xun Ansheng who saved her back then. Changxia remembered that her master was busy killing monsters, Zuo Qin was performing magic tricks to amuse her, and Xun Ansheng was carefully cleaning her wounds.
Use the best medicine and the most meticulous bandage.
Master said that Xun Ansheng was an irredeemably good person. His compassion extended to both good and bad people.
As the leader of a certain faction, this is not a good habit. It even directly led to the current situation of numerous factions within Luxelakes.
"You keep causing trouble for Mr. Xun, reminding him that the people around him are not good people, but it doesn't seem to be having much effect." Xie Fengxue looked towards the south, where a giant tree that connected the sky and the earth could be vaguely seen in the distance. "If he could be so cruel, he wouldn't be Mr. Xun anymore."
Chang Xia said nonchalantly, "If I don't do what I want, I won't be myself anymore."
