"What did you say?"
Xiang Sheng's pupils shrank instantly. "It's really Wangyue. Did you hear it clearly?"
"……yes."
Fourteen's face was bewildered, and he asked nervously, "Miss Sheng, what happened to Wangyue? Don't scare me. Is there something fishy going on here?"
Xiang Sheng didn't answer but asked, "Tell me first, how did you see it? Have they discovered it?"
"They definitely didn't notice!"
Fourteen immediately shook his head. "A cultivator's five senses are sharp, but there are many people in the Tianqing Pavilion with many eyes. I just happened to see them through the mirror and didn't look at them directly."
"That's good."
Xiang Sheng's expression softened slightly. "Tell Qin Ji to stay out of the courtyard less."
"Okay, I'll just say I'm sick."
Fourteen was panicking. He glanced around and saw no one was around. He whispered again, "Miss Sheng, have you noticed something again? Is that Tianyan Sect... real?"
"Whether it's true or not, you can't get involved. Knowing too much will only do harm, not good."
Xiang Sheng warned coldly, "It's already difficult for us to survive in the sect, don't bring trouble upon yourself."
Fourteen's face turned pale when he heard this and he nodded repeatedly.
After the strange incident in the village, he always trusted Xiang Sheng's intuition in this regard, so he stopped asking questions. Frightened, he also gave up the idea of testing Xiang Sheng's swordsmanship. After staying for a while, he stood up and said goodbye.
After he left, Xiang Sheng returned to the house and sat down with a slightly frown.
mask……
What is Tianyan Sect going to do?
Lu Yushan is a true disciple with a noble status, but he is willing to join the Tianyan Sect, which shows how deep the water is.
She didn't want to have too much contact with the Tianyan Sect, but its frequent unusual movements made her feel uneasy.
At this time, Xiao Tao walked in with small steps and said, "Miss Sheng, Master Qinji has sent over the gift list."
Xiang Sheng came back to his senses, raised his hand to take the booklet, casually flipped it open, glanced at it twice, and then closed it. He said, "I want to go to bed early tonight. You don't have to arrange dinner, so go to bed early too."
"yes."
Xiao Tao smiled and agreed, "Miss Sheng has been practicing swordsmanship day and night. It's time for her to take a good rest."
...Night fell in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Tao came to the inner room with a lamp and said, "Miss Sheng, I'm turning off the lights."
She waited for a moment, but received no response from inside the house. She assumed Xiang Sheng was fast asleep, blew out the lamp in the main room, and turned to leave.
Little did he know that the inner room was already empty.
Xiang Sheng walked on a deserted mountain path and took out a moon-white robe from his storage ring and put it on. At the same time, his face and body shape quickly adjusted, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a Taoist boy from the Dan Palace whom he had met by chance.
This step was not enough. Xiang Sheng grabbed a handful of pot ash and smeared it on his clothes. Finally, he took out a Dan Palace token and hung it around his waist.
She had discovered this token when she was sorting out Yuan Zhong's storage ring, but she had never paid attention to it. She didn't expect it to come in handy.
After changing clothes, Xiang Sheng quickened his pace and flew through the mountains as fast as a rabbit. He reached the foot of the mountain in less than a cup of tea.
It was just getting dark, and there were still many people walking around in the market. Xiang Sheng straightened his clothes a little more and walked into the crowd.
Soon, she arrived at the door of Tianqing Pavilion. A layer of sweat broke out on her forehead and she hurriedly stepped over the threshold.
The servant from the Tianqing Pavilion was very sharp-eyed. He immediately came forward to greet the visitor upon seeing him. "So it's Senior Brother Wu from the Dan Palace. Is there something important that you're visiting me this evening?"
"Take it to me to buy Danquan!"
Xiang Sheng's words were filled with urgency, "Hurry!"
The servant's face changed slightly, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He quickly led Xiang Sheng to the place where the Danquan was stored and shouted loudly: "Manager Yang, someone from the Dan Palace seems to have an urgent matter. Come out and greet them quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Sheng saw a short, thin old man coming out of the house.
The thin old man frowned slightly when he saw Xiang Sheng in his disheveled attire, but then he saw the badge hanging on his waist and suddenly smiled happily: "Wu..."
"Manager Yang, I don't have time to be polite with you today."
Xiang Sheng's voice was cold and sharp, tinged with anxiety. "The elder is looking for Danquan for emergency treatment. If we are too late and the Mingjing Pill fails, no one can bear the responsibility!"
"Something happened to Mingjingdan?"
Manager Yang's expression changed slightly. He didn't even bother to say anything rude to Sheng. He immediately turned around and took out a storage ring, saying, "Here are all the remaining top-grade elixir springs. There are ten of them in total."
Xiang Sheng took the storage ring and took out another storage ring and handed it over: "My cultivation is insufficient, so the steward will go and count the spirit stones."
Manager Yang did not suspect anything and immediately removed some of the spirit stones and returned the ring.
Xiang Sheng took the ring back and turned away without even saying goodbye.
Steward Yang watched her leave and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "This Taoist Wu usually seems calm and composed, but I didn't expect him to be so anxious this time that he even ignored etiquette."
The servant beside him laughed when he heard this and said, "Perhaps the problem with the refining of the Mingjing Pill is related to him, otherwise he wouldn't have changed his tone of voice."
Manager Yang nodded slightly. After all, the spirit stones were genuine and of good value, so he didn't think much about it and turned around to go back and rest.
…
Xiang Sheng returned to the house and changed back into his original clothes.
She looked up at the deep night outside the window, sat quietly for a moment, and her tense expression became relaxed again.
This trip to purchase Danquan seems easy, but it is actually full of dangers.
She had only met the Taoist boy from the Dan Palace once by chance on the way to Huidangchen Peak. She didn't know his name or origin, nor could she imitate his voice, let alone the value of the Danquan transaction between the Dan Palace and Tianqing Pavilion.
In this case, they could only pretend to be in an emergency and get away with it. If there was any mistake, they would be exposed on the spot.
