Looking at Mu Hanyan's figure gradually disappearing into the distance, Jiang Qiling gritted her teeth and followed her.
In order to find the place where the power of heaven and earth converges, there must be more than one seal that needs to be broken, and each one is stronger than the last. Even if she wants to avoid Mu Hanyan, she can't. And whether she likes it or not, she has to admit that with her ability, she can't break those seals. If she wants to get to the end, she can only rely on Mu Hanyan.
"Okay, I owe you this. When I realize my ancestors' ambition and become the strongest in the Holy Court Continent, I will repay you double. By then, you will know how lucky you are to meet me, Jiang Qiling." Jiang Qiling said secretly to comfort herself.
In fact, if it was someone else instead of Mu Hanyan who met her today, it would really be a lucky thing, and it would not be purely self-consolation.
But Jiang Qiling wouldn't understand this now. Mu Hanyan? She had no idea what Jiang Qiling was thinking.
The two walked one after the other towards the depths of the Fantasy Dragon Palace, encountering no one else along the way. Under Jiang Qiling's astonished gaze, Mu Hanyan used her seemingly simple and elegant techniques to break several seals. In the end, even Jiang Qiling began to feel numb.
This guy is a monster. You can't compare to her unless you become a monster too! Only this kind of comfort can allow Jiang Qiling's deeply shocked heart to persist until now, without breaking quietly like glass.
"Jiang Qiling, come here." Just when Jiang Qiling was lost in thought, Mu Hanyan suddenly said.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Qiling felt very unhappy being ordered around by Mu Hanyan, but she still walked forward obediently.
"Look at these seals, can you understand them?" Mu Hanyan pointed at the seals in front of her and said to Jiang Qiling.
"This one seems to contain the rules of alchemy, this one seems to be the art of alchemy, this one should be a formation, and this one should be a method of taming beasts..." Jiang Qiling looked at it for a long time before pointing at the seals one by one and speaking.
There were more than a dozen seals this time. She could barely understand them, but the seals were interconnected and intertwined with each other. She had no confidence at all in breaking them.
"It's good that you can understand it. I will teach you a set of hand gestures, and you will follow my instructions later." Mu Hanyan said.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Qiling looked at Mu Hanyan in confusion.
"Nonsense, of course I want you to cooperate with me to break the seal." Mu Hanyan looked at Jiang Qiling unhappily. Perhaps it was because of the many setbacks she had suffered along the way that Jiang Qiling's mind had become less sharp.
"Hahahaha, it turns out you can't break these seals either. You need my help." Jiang Qiling came back to her senses, and her vanity, which had been crushed to only a spark left, burned again, and she smiled triumphantly.
"Nonsense, if you weren't useful, why would I ask you to follow me? A dog should wag its tail a few times, but did you wag it?" Mu Hanyan said without any concern.
Indeed, the reason she allowed Jiang Qiling to follow her was because she had long since realized that the further back she went, the more complex the seal would become, and it would be difficult for her to open it alone. Jiang Qiling had some attainments in various strange arts, so keeping her would also be helpful. Of course, she couldn't find anyone else besides Jiang Qiling.
Don't think that Miss Mu is being kind by allowing Jiang Qiling to follow behind and take advantage of her. She is not that kind, and if she did have any, she would not give it to her enemies.
Everything is just a helpless act.
"Mu Hanyan...you!" Jiang Qiling was so angry again that her face turned pale and she clenched her fists because Mu Hanyan compared her to a dog.
"You can refuse. With my strength, even if I can't break the seal for a while, there will always be a chance. But if you don't cooperate with me, you won't have any chance at all. If you want to cut your meridians and cleanse your marrow, you'd better think it over before making a decision." Mu Hanyan ignored the anger in Jiang Qiling's eyes and said calmly.
Jiang Qiling clenched and unclenched her fists, feeling conflicted.
She certainly understood the principle that unity is mutually beneficial, while separation is mutually detrimental. However, the thought that if she took action, she would indirectly help Mu Hanyan made her feel uncomfortable, even though she would benefit from it.
"I would think so, but Mu Hanyan wouldn't think so? To be precise, I actually have the greater advantage." Jiang Qiling suddenly had this thought in her mind, and she looked at Mu Hanyan strangely.
If it were her, how could she give the other party a chance to catch up when she clearly had an absolute advantage? Even if she gave up the chance to cut her meridians and cleanse her marrow, she would not let her opponent get away with it.
"I know what you are thinking. Do you know what a truly strong person is? It is not by stepping on others to show his strength, but by constantly improving himself and always stepping on others' heads! I am stronger than you now. Even if I let you take advantage of me this time and let you follow me to cleanse my meridians and marrow, I am still stronger than you. You, never think of surpassing me." Mu Hanyan looked at Jiang Qiling and said with great pride.
It is a kind of self-confidence, a kind of self-confidence that is immersed in the bone marrow and blood, and is innate. It is also the self-confidence of the strong.
Mu Hanyan's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Jiang Qiling's ears.
Facing the confident Mu Hanyan, Jiang Qiling suddenly found herself so insignificant, and even felt a little ashamed of herself.
"He's just pretending. He sounds so heroic, but it's all fake. He just has no choice but to ask me for help, but he doesn't want to lose face." Jiang Qiling finally found a reason that allowed her to barely maintain her confidence, but no matter how she convinced herself, the inexplicable sense of failure in her heart became stronger.
"Okay, I'll help you." Jiang Qiling took a deep breath and said.
Regardless of whether Mu Hanyan is real or not, breaking the seal, clearing her meridians and cleansing her marrow will benefit her in every way and she will get the upper hand anyway.
"Okay, I'll teach you the hand gestures first." Mu Hanyan said and began to demonstrate.
The ordinary, even simple and crude hand gestures, after being blended by Mu Hanyan, unexpectedly gave people a sense of mystery and etherealness, and a mysterious power, as if they possessed a unique rhythm, secretly in harmony with the laws of heaven and earth. Following Mu Hanyan's repeated hand gestures, Jiang Qiling was deeply shocked.
After practicing for more than ten times, Jiang Qiling finally mastered the hand gestures and had a deeper understanding of the rhythm.
Just what kind of person was this so-called "Number One Dandy in the Capital," "Number One Dandy in Longyan"? Jiang Qiling looked at Mu Hanyan with a strange look, full of curiosity and perhaps even a hint of other feelings.
