Flowers bloom and fade, in the blink of an eye, Lin Jiang is already 148 years old.
One day, Lin Jiang came to the West City Market and saw a group of vendors gathered together to chat. Seeing that it was still early, Lin Jiang also went over.
"Fellow Daoists, what new things happened today? Tell me about it."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are always late for melons."
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Lin, I can't let you eat melons for free every time."
"Okay, I'll pay for the tea today."
Lin Jiang laughed. He did come late every time. Most of these vendors were full-time. They came early every day and left the latest. He was the latest to come and the earliest to leave.
"Hehe, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Lin. Today's new and interesting things are very interesting. Fellow Daoist Lin, do you know that something happened in Yunzhong City a few years ago. Nalan Yan, the great elder of the Zhongxing Sect's outer sect
, was kidnapped by a casual cultivator?" "I heard that the Nalan family also lost a very important treasure, the Five Elements Golden Fruit. For this reason, the Nalan family also offered a reward for the wanted casual cultivator. What, is there a follow-up?"
Lin Jiang said immediately. How could he not know what Wen Xing did? He saw it with his own eyes.
"Yes, yes, the casual cultivator came back recently. His name is Wen Xing."
"Really? Is that casual cultivator so powerful? Zhongxing Sect is not afraid of him anymore?"
"No, he is on the list of high branches. Fellow Daoist Lin, have you heard of Dan King Li Ruoxu?"
"Brother, I am not the kind of person who doesn't pay attention to what is happening outside. How could Dan King Li Ruoxu not know? He is the light of our casual cultivators?"
Lin Jiang said with some dissatisfaction. Do you really think he is a dead otaku and knows nothing?
The Pill King Li Ruoxu was well-known in Yunzhong City, and even in the entire Yunzhou. With his cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage, his alchemy skills crushed all the sects, and he even had the title of Pill King.
The most important point was that he was a casual cultivator, without a family or a sect, and he cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage by himself, which gave countless casual cultivators the motivation to cultivate, so he was called the Light of the Cultivators by the casual cultivators.
"Yes, it's him. The Pill King is really amazing. It's not easy for us independent cultivators to practice. Not many of us are in the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone..."
"Ahem, I've gone off topic. Let's talk about Wen Xing. What's his relationship with the Pill King?"
"Oh, I've gone off topic. This Wen Xing is really amazing. He escaped from Yunzhong City a few years ago, and somehow he became the close friend of the Pill King Li Ruoxu. Now he's the direct disciple of the Pill King Li Ruoxu. Even the Zhonghang Sect has to be polite to him, not to mention he's just an outer sect elder. In the Zhonghang Sect, the outer sect elder is only in the Golden Core stage, and is not considered a real elder..."
"I'd rather know where Nalan Yan is."
"I don't know about that. Anyway, Wen Xing wasn't brought here, and now we're all guessing what will happen to the Nalan family."
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Lin, do you want to place a bet? Someone has already opened the market, betting on whether the Nalan family will take action against Wen Xing."
"I bet they won't take action. The title of Pill King is not just for show."
"The King of Pills is better than Zhonghang Sect. I bet that the Nalan family will definitely take action."
"When will the Nalan family be able to represent Zhonghang Sect? I think it will definitely not happen."
Soon, the topic changed again, and they began to argue about whether the Nalan family would take action against Wen Xing, because someone made a bet on this matter, and many people placed bets.
"Friend Lin, Friend Lin, don't you want to bet?"
"Sorry, I, Lin, and gambling and drugs are irreconcilable,"
Lin Jiang said seriously. Who would bet? Isn't it better to just eat melons?
·······
Zhaixing Tower is one of the top inns in Yunzhong City. It has a total of seven floors and covers an extremely large area. Needless to say, this kind of industry is either from Zhonghang Sect or Yunjian Sect.
At this time, in a room in Zhaixing Tower, Wen Xing was looking out from the window. Standing in this position, he could see most of Yunzhong City, and the view was excellent.
"Xing'er, what are you looking at, so engrossed?"
A middle-aged man walked up to Wen Xing and said to him.
"Looking at the millions of people in Yunzhong City, don't you find it interesting, Master?"
"It's quite interesting. When I was young, I also made a living in Yunzhong City. Otherwise, I would have been struggling for a living like them, or I would have turned into a handful of soil long ago."
"Yes, Master, I was thinking that if I hadn't met you, I might have died. The Nalan family is really cruel."
"Haha, it seems that you still don't want to let the Nalan family go."
"Master, it's the Nalan family who doesn't want to let me go. I didn't steal the Five Elements Golden Fruit, and Yan'er didn't take it either. They framed me,"
Wen Xing said. Speaking of this, his face was still full of anger. He did take Nalan Yan away back then, or to be more precise, it was Nalan Yan who took him away.
When his two-timing affair was exposed, the Nalan family was furious and felt that Wen Xing had slapped the Nalan family in the face. They wanted to send someone to kill him. After Nalan Yan knew about this, she came to tell him secretly.
Because the matter was urgent and he had offended too many people, he could not leave the city easily. In the end, it was Nalan Yan who took him away. At that time, Nalan Yan brought a lot of spirit stones and other resources from the Nalan family, but definitely no Five Elements Gold Fruit.
After that, the Nalan family pursued him relentlessly, and he was separated from Nalan Yan. In the end, he met Li Ruoxu and got rid of the pursuers. Finally, he became Li Ruoxu's disciple.
All these things made Wen Xing hate the Nalan family very much. This time he came back with the intention of slapping them in the face.
"The little things that happened in the Nalan family are probably the dirty ways of the big house, and the pattern is just like this,"
said Li Ruoxu. Although he didn't know what happened, he could guess that someone in the Nalan family stole the money and framed Wen Xing, and killed him to cover it up.
"Master, that's right. I think so too."
"Okay, then how do you plan to take revenge on the Nalan family?" "
The Nalan family is backed by the Zhongxing Sect. I don't want Master to make things too difficult. I just want to know whether Yan'er is alive or dead and want my Yan'er back."
"Nalan Yan, I will help you get it. As long as she is still alive, I will definitely give it to you, but you can't let my daughter down
." "Master, it's true that I, Wen Xing, am sentimental, but I am definitely not promiscuous. I had no choice before, but now I have embarked on a smooth road, so I will naturally not do the same things before. My sincerity towards Yan'er is obvious to all."
Wen Xing said hurriedly. In addition to his good talent in alchemy, the most important thing for him to worship Li Ruoxu as his master is that Li Ruoxu's only daughter fell in love with him. Without this relationship, he wanted to become a disciple? No way. Li Ruoxu has seen many talented people over the years.
Li Ruoxu didn't agree at first. After all, Wen Xing's past was so wonderful, so Li Ruoxu made things difficult for Wen Xing at first, but Wen Xing resisted all of Li Ruoxu's difficulties and was accepted by Li Ruoxu.
"It's good to know. Practice well in the future. When your cultivation level is improved, the Nalan family will not be a big deal."
Li Ruoxu nodded. He didn't expect Wen Xing to have only his daughter as a woman. This is the rule of this world. A strong man can have many women, and a strong woman can have many men. They are all equal. It depends on your strength.
He just needs to ensure that his daughter lives a happy life. Who made his daughter so obsessed with Wen Xing? He can't do anything about it.
······
"Tell me, what's going on? Who took the Five Elements Golden Fruit?"
Zhongxing Sect, Nalande said to the two Nalan family elders.
When Wen Xing appeared in Yunzhong City, they knew it at the first time, and also knew Wen Xing's current identity, so they didn't dare to force it. They just sent people to question him as usual. Wen Xing's reply was that he didn't take the Five Elements Golden Fruit, and Nalan Yan didn't take it back then.
Nalande couldn't be sure whether what Wen Xing said was true or false, so he could only come back to investigate to see if there was a thief in the family.
"Ancestor, it is absolutely true that the Five Elements Golden Fruit was lost. As for whether it was taken by Wen Xing or Nalan Yan, I don't know."
"Ancestor, Wen Xing's words are not credible. The Five Elements Golden Fruit is such a precious thing. Just because he said he didn't take it, does that mean he didn't take it?"
"You have a point. Then go and tie Wen Xing back."
"This..."
The man was speechless for a moment. It was easy to tie up Wen Xing. Even though he was already in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was no match for the Nalan family. But he couldn't afford to offend Wen Xing's master. A master of alchemy could make friends with countless strong men.
"I must get to the bottom of this matter. It is not only related to the face of our Nalan family, but also the problem of thieves in the family. It is difficult to prevent thieves in the family. If the Nalan family has a thief in the family and does not know it, then it is the way for our Nalan family to destroy itself.
Don't do other things recently, just figure out the things in front of you. First, who stole the Five Elements Golden Fruit? Second, where is Nalan Yan? Is she alive or dead? If you don't find out this matter, no one will have a good life in the future."
Nalande glanced at the two people coldly. This time, the Nalan family was really embarrassed. I don't know how many people in the Zhonghang Sect laughed at them.
So the best remedy now is to find out the truth of the matter, who stole the Five Elements Golden Fruit, where is Nalan Yan, and whether she is dead.
"Yes, ancestor"
The two elders agreed in unison, and after Nalande left, the two looked at each other.
"Nalan Xiong, tell me, who stole the Five Elements Golden Fruit?"
"Nalan Xi, what do you mean, do you want to say that I stole it?"
"The Five Elements Golden Fruit was guarded by someone from your room at that time."
"Then you, Nalan Xi, should explain it clearly. Nalan Yan ran away, but why did the soul lamp in the ancestral hall disappear? Who helped Nalan Yan escape? Who was the last person to see Nalan Yan? Someone is not trying to silence her,
is he?" "Haha, we'll just wait and see."
Nalan Xi couldn't explain it clearly at once. There were many doubts about this matter. Nalan Yan ran away, but her soul lamp disappeared, too. The meaning behind this was very unusual.
"We'll just wait and see,"
Nalan Xiong said coldly. He looked at Nalan Xi's back and fell into deep thought. Who did this?
