After sending the letter about the rabbit and the radish, Jiang Tingbai has not responded, and seems to have accepted this reason.
But since then, every time Yan Luoyue received Jiang Ting's white paper crane, she would be mentally prepared.
In order to prevent Jiang Tingbai from suddenly knowing the truth one day, and using his unique gentle and caring tone to accuse her in a tactful and implicit way, "Junior sister, why did you lie to me?"
On the third day after receiving Jiang Tingbai's letter, Ji Qinghong reappeared.
Perhaps it was a difficult problem in the secret realm that was solved by the masters working together.
When Ji Qinghong reappeared, he had a smile on his lips and a friendly look in his eyes. He seemed to be in a very good mood.
This goodness was also reflected in his behavior: the first thing Ji Qinghong did after appearing was to stretch out his evil rabbit claws with ease, and his target was Yan Luoyue's braid.
Yan Luoyue: “…”
What did she do to her hair? She will put it in a braid tomorrow!
Yan Luoyue stepped back quickly, and before Ji Qinghong could grab her braid, Wu Manshuang had already inserted herself between them.
He calmly bowed to Ji Qinghong, then handed him a clean headband with both hands.
The headband was pink, with two fluffy white balls tied at the end. It was the same one that Ji Qinghong had casually sketched the formation on not long ago.
But now, there is no trace of the formation on the headband.
Wu Manshuang fought all night long, and finally managed to pull out the entire formation without damaging the carrier.
Ji Qinghong lowered his eyes, took a look, and nodded slightly.
But he did not open his mouth to praise Wu Manshuang. Instead, he touched his chin and smiled at Yan Luoyue in a joking manner.
Just by being glanced at by him, Yan Luoyue suddenly felt foreboding.
Ji Qinghong said, "If that headband was his, I believe he wouldn't lie. But this headband was originally yours... Well, how do I know you didn't find an identical headband to fool me?"
This question came out of nowhere, and Wu Man Shuang suddenly raised her head.
The boy pursed his lips, and it was hard to tell whether he was angry about being questioned or angry for Yan Luoyue who was suspected.
Sensing Wu Manshuang's reaction, Yan Luoyue first put his hands behind his back and waved at him.
The next second, she replied in a very hurt tone: "Is this who I am in your heart?"
Ji Qinghong was a little surprised: "Aren't you?"
"Although I am indeed true - but how can you say it in public?"
Wu Manshuang: “…”
The master and the disciple fought back and forth, and they were surprisingly evenly matched.
This pure fun conversation made it not worth getting angry about.
Wu Manshuang was at a loss for words for a moment. He blinked his eyes, feeling very confused.
Noticing Wu Manshuang's condition, Yan Luoyue smiled, held the little snake's arm and shook it.
This simple action seems to have some magical power.
Wu Manshuang, who had just tensed up and prepared to fight back, unconsciously relaxed his shoulders in tune with her rhythm.
"Not bad, that's much better." Ji Qinghong finally praised him. He said coldly, "If you are always so serious, you will never be able to enter my sect."
With a somewhat malicious smile, Ji Qinghong pretended to pull Yan Luoyue's shoulders:
"In that case... to prevent you from cheating again, I'll just draw this new formation right here."
Yan Luoyue noticed at the first moment that Ji Qinghong's fingertips were clearly aimed at her face.
“…”
At this moment, Yan Luoyue wanted to ask, are you still interested in braiding? Otherwise, let's just braid it.
But Ji Qinghong's move was actually just a feint.
Long before the spiritual energy condensed from his fingers fell, Wu Manshuang firmly and without hesitation put his arm in front of Yan Luoyue.
"Don't paint her." Wu Manshuang used her free hand to lift up her cloak and said sincerely, "It's me you want to test. Please paint my face."
"Alas." Yan Luoyue sighed softly behind Wu Manshuang, "You are serious again."
What a stupid little snake.
She just waved her hand at Wu Manshuang because she didn't want him to stand up and be teased too much.
Although Yan Luoyue didn't know why Ji Qinghong had to take a detour.
But the person he originally wanted to paint should be Wu Manshuang.
Sure enough, seeing Wu Manshuang took the initiative to ask for resignation, Ji Qinghong accepted the replacement without any difficulty.
There was a sudden lightness at the back of my head, and the vision in front of me suddenly became bright.
Wu Manshuang's breath was choked, and she suddenly realized that the white veil covering her eyes had been torn off.
In the center of the field of vision is a pair of smiling yet ruthless red eyes.
This was the first time in Wu Manshuang's memory that someone had been able to look him in the eye without freezing.
“…”
Yan Luoyue, who was watching from the sidelines, asked: "How did you do this? Can I do it too?"
Isn't it a pity that such a pair of beautiful and bright eyes like obsidian are always covered up?
"You can do it when you have a higher level of cultivation. This should be the talent of the race. His eyes carry a spiritual attack."
Ji Qinghong laughed and said gently, "However, perhaps before your cultivation level is high enough to bear it, he has already mastered the trick of control. Who knows which of you will be faster? After all, you are both equally inexperienced now."
Yan Luoyue: “…”
Wu Manshuang: “…”
I don't know what kind of mood Wu Man Shuang was in, but while closing her eyes, she switched the toxins that were overflowing from her skin into something that could be used to remove all the hair.
...Well, this is certainly not because even a clay man can get angry, and it is even less likely that it is because Wu Manshuang is seeking revenge.
This is simply because this is the only non-lethal toxin he has at his disposal!
The next moment, she could feel the light coming on through her eyelids, and the formation patterns fell on Wu Manshuang's face.
Ji Qinghong had watched the scene in Yue Lao Temple and knew the strangeness of his poison. When he wrote, his fingertips were covered with a layer of spiritual energy so thick that it condensed into a solid state.
After finishing the last stroke, Ji Qinghong finished his work with satisfaction and nodded slightly at his work.
Ji Qinghong patted Yan Luoyue's head and said slowly:
"Within three days, learn the 100 basic formations by heart. Each basic formation has two or three variations, and so on."
Yan Luoyue pointed at herself: "Me?"
Ji Qinghong raised his eyebrows: "Is there another little girl here who needs to learn the formation from scratch?"
After estimating the amount of homework for the next three days, Yan Luoyue took a deep breath.
This workload is roughly equivalent to asking a person who only knows 26 letters to memorize a thousand words in one day, which is almost an impossible task.
Rubbing his fingers together, Yan Luoyue asked tentatively, "If I can't recite it... corporal punishment is not allowed in our sect, right?"
Ji Qinghong shook his head and laughed out loud as if he had heard some funny joke.
He asked kindly and tenderly, "Do you think that your teacher is such a cruel, cold, unreasonable and old-fashioned person?"
“…”
Yan Luoyue shook her head.
But she gradually developed a bad feeling in her heart.
Twisting Yan Luoyue's pigtail between her fingers, Ji Qinghong did not pull it this time.
He said amiably: "If you can't do it in three days, then six days... within six days, I believe you will be able to recite it by heart."
Seeing his tolerant attitude, Yan Luoyue felt a growing sense of foreboding.
Ji Qinghong turned around and walked away gracefully, leaving behind his last words, which instantly detonated all the explosive packs he had previously buried.
He smiled leisurely and said, "I've always wanted to know...Have you ever looked in the mirror at Xiao Wu?"
The white-haired man left, leaving behind a string of happy laughter before leaving.
Behind him, Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang were stunned.
“…”
Yes, when Wu Manshuang looks into the mirror, will he be petrified? !
The seriousness of this question is comparable to the philosophical question of "Can a walnut that has been hit by a door still nourish the brain?"
If Wu Manshuang would be petrified by himself in the mirror, then he would not be able to draw the formation image on his face at all, and could only let Yan Luoyue help him draw it by rote!
Wait——does this mean——!!!
Wu Manshuang suddenly closed her eyes.
Yan Luoyue understood what he meant and quickly looked at his face.
On Wu Man Shuang's face, formation patterns were seen flowing freely.
On average, the formation combination would change shape every ten seconds or so.
If Yan Luoyue was not mistaken, the first pattern was exactly three different basic arrays nested together.
The image that changes later is also a nesting of four different basic arrays.
As for the ultimate effect of this formation...
With Yan Luoyue's current level of knowledge, she couldn't see it.
In other words, if they wanted to break the formation, they had to first let Wu Manshuang know what was painted on her face.
But the image changes every ten seconds, which is too short to be able to copy the image.
Unless she could name each basic formation when she saw the nested formation for the first time, and then let Wu Manshuang break the formation quickly.
Otherwise, this formation will remain here forever.
“…”
At this moment, Yan Luoyue finally understood everything.
No wonder Ji Qinghong wanted to draw the formation on Wu Manshuang instead of her face.
If he put the formation on Yan Luoyue's face, it would just be Wu Manshuang's homework.
It won't be like it is now, tying Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang together, and the assignment will become a group assignment for them.
——Just in the joke just now, Ji Qinghong not only fully satisfied his own interests and adjusted Wu Manshuang's character, but also used the snake to control the turtle and tied Yan Luoyue to the wheel of hard study!
Killing three birds with one stone, you are worthy of it, Ji Qinghong.
Wu Manshuang asked, "What did he draw on my face?"
"It made me realize how much I love studying. I'll start studying hard tonight." Yan Luoyue said while choking up.
She just picked up the white gauze and was about to tie it on Wu Manshuang, but suddenly she realized something and stared at the little snake's face for a while.
Although Wu Manshuang kept her eyes closed, she could still feel her gaze.
Her palms began to sweat slightly, and Wu Manshuang asked in a low voice: "Why, why are you still looking at me?"
Yan Luoyue closed her eyes in sorrow.
"I have a piece of news to tell you. You must stay calm after listening to it."
“…”
Hearing that Yan Luoyue's tone was not right, the awkward expression on Wu Manshuang's face disappeared in an instant.
Through his gloves, he held Yan Luoyue's hand and patted it lightly, his voice filled with calmness and composure.
"It's okay, just tell me."
Yan Luoyue said with difficulty: "Ji Qinghong... drew a little turtle on your face."
That’s right! She looked at it again and again. No matter how the nesting formation changed, it looked like a round little turtle!
“…”
Wu Man Shuang, who had experienced too many big scenes, choked instantly.
After a while, he suddenly lowered his head a little shyly and whispered, "If you really can't do it, you don't have to crack it."
Yan Luoyue: “???”
Yan Luoyue felt very confused.
Friend, what are you thinking about?
…
Three days later, Yan Luoyue held two or three charcoal pencils between his fingers, rubbed his brows and looked at Wu Manshuang's face.
As soon as she moved slightly, Wu Manshuang closed her eyes alertly.
"How is it?"
"Small starting formation, short gathering spirit formation, earth-sinking formation - this time it's OK, I know them all."
The formation form on Wu Manshuang's face was reported within five seconds, and Yan Luoyue covered his eyes with his hands in pain.
She was like a student who had spent a whole night cramming before the final exam in order not to fail. She said rather plaintively, "Manshuang, my brain is so tight."
On weekdays, Yan Luoyue has always been smart and sharp.
She would first notice the various changes in her friends, and then either suddenly have an idea or confidently come up with solutions.
It can be said that Yan Luoyue seldom reveals such emotions, this kind of... almost coquettish complaint.
Wu Manshuang wanted to comfort her, but she also thought Yan Luoyue was very cute.
He didn't know what to say at this moment, so he could only pat the back of her hand silently.
He has been here for the past three days.
On the table in front of them was a thick layer of white paper.
Each sheet of paper was covered with chaotic sketches of formations, and some sheets were even covered on both sides.
In the past few days, not only Yan Luoyue had been working hard, memorizing the images of various basic formations, but Wu Manshuang also never slacked off for a moment.
Based on Yan Luoyue's description, he guessed what Ji Qinghong's initial formation would look like.
After all, Yan Luoyue's recognition of the formation change was only the first step in solving the formation. Wu Manshuang's subsequent response was also the most important part of solving the problem.
Pushing away the draft in front of her, Wu Manshuang cleared her throat.
"Based on the performance of the formation and the hint given to us by Ji Yaozun, I guess this formation has two uses in total."
"First, you can switch between three or four hundred basic arrays and variants, and nested effects."
"Secondly, on the third and sixth days, this formation will undergo a change."
Pinching his brows, Yan Luoyue perked up: "What kind of changes?"
Wu Manshuang closed her eyes and glanced at Yan Luoyue.
His tone was cautious: "A change of direction... would cause me to die instantly."
Yan Luoyue: "...Can we tell you some good news?"
Under Yan Luoyue's gaze, Wu Manshuang smiled slightly, as if her reaction made him very happy.
Wu Manshuang said lightly, "There are two more possible directions. One will change the color of my skin, and the other will make my hair grow into a sky-high braid."
Compared to the first one, these two changes are more likely and more in line with Ji Qinghong's bad taste.
Yan Luoyue flipped through the pile of drafts in front of him.
Based on the array skills she had forcibly acquired over the past few days, she made a few guesses:
"I feel that the third variation is the most likely."
The Chongtianben version of the little witch...tsk tsk tsk tsk.
No wonder Ji Qinghong likes to play pranks on people so much. She also wants to watch it in her heart.
“…”
Wu Manshuang was silent for a moment, and then expressed her attitude very firmly: "Then I will shave my head for the time being."
Only after the formation was broken did he grow his hair back.
All in all, it's absolutely not okay to have a braid that goes up to the sky.
Although he is not picky and is very easy to raise, he still has his own aesthetic standards!
Yan Luoyue blinked and pictured in her mind what Wu Manyhuang would look like with a round, smooth head.
Well, the little snake's facial features are so delicate, even if it is dressed as a monk, it should be quite beautiful.
However, it is best not to shave your head.
Almost at the same time when the two of them fell silent and imagined strange scenes related to hair in their minds, the change in formation came on time.
The next second, Yan Luoyue jumped up in shock.
Wu Manshuang felt something was wrong, and her first reaction was to touch her head: "...What's wrong?"
His hair still grew smoothly on his head, not sticking up into the air nor forming a bunch of small braids covering his head.
Yan Luoyue murmured: "Manshuang, your face..."
It really was just a blink of an eye, and Wu Manshuang's entire face turned blue!
——Yes, Wu Manshuang herself said that the second possible change is to change the color of his skin.
But why did only the facial skin change? This effect is really weird!
And with the white light emitted by the formation, the visual effect of this blue background and white picture...
Yan Luoyue really didn't want to admit it. At this moment, Xiaoshe's face looked like a capital police notice.
“…”
Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang looked at each other.
The next second, Yan Luoyue held her mouth as she was about to burst out laughing and said vaguely, "I'll go get the book!"
She passed by Wu Manshuang like a gust of wind.
Behind her head, Wu Manshuang clearly heard Yan Luoyue humming a tune over and over again, which seemed to be "Blue-faced Dou Erdun steals horses~~".
Wu Manshuang: “…”
Wu Manshuang touched her face, opened her eyes, and sighed in frustration.
——Ji Yaozun, you really do a lot of harm to others.
However...
Shaking her head, Wu Manshuang picked up the draft she had put aside, and the corners of her lips slightly raised again.
——Forget it, as long as I can make her laugh.
…
With the concerted efforts of Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang, this group assignment was finally cracked on time on the morning of the fifth day.
After each of them took a long breath, they slumped down on the chairs in exactly the same posture, then slid down the backs of the chairs like two fried eggs drying freely in the sun.
"Great, it's finally solved."
Yan Luoyue held her head and sighed: "I can't forget it. I will never forget these one hundred basic formations and their variations in my life."
Compared to Yan Luoyue's extroversion, Wu Manshuang touched her face in a very reserved manner.
He recalled his last burst of inspiration, which allowed him to dismantle the three traps set by Ji Qinghong. He felt a headache vaguely at the memory, but also a sense of pride that he could not hide.
It can be said that the early identification work was the result of Yan Luoyue's perseverance, and the later decryption was entirely the work of Wu Manshuang leading the team.
For the first time in her life, Wu Manshuang felt the feeling of taking on a leading role, and she thought it was not bad.
“It’s hard for me to describe Ji Yaozun’s personality.” Wu Manshuang said with her eyes half closed, “But he is really teaching me.”
"There are still seven or eight hours until the sixth day."
Yan Luoyue gave a small shout of joy and rushed out with brisk steps: "Before handing in the homework tomorrow, I need to change my mood first!"
"That one, Luoyue."
Wu Manshuang called out to Yan Luoyue.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Manshuang's tone was a little hesitant: "Based on my understanding of Ji Yaozun... after you come back tonight, you might as well preview the "Three Hundred Chapters of Advanced Basic Formations"."
The smile suddenly disappeared from Yan Luoyue's face.
Yan Luoyue closed her eyes in sorrow and murmured, "As long as Master chooses well, every night battle will be like the college entrance examination..."
She kept muttering to herself as she floated out of the room like a ghost.
Wu Manshuang: “…”
The next day, the two who had disappeared for a few days finally returned to the sealed wall to report.
The sealing wall that stretches for hundreds of miles still looks as thick as before, only a little thinner visually.
Five days' absence was not enough to make it seem strange.
Yan Luoyue estimated in his mind: According to their current progress, it would take about a year to completely dissolve this sealing wall.
In other words, as long as Ji Qinghong is interested, he can provide one-on-one guidance to himself and Wu Manshuang for a year.
Anyway, he has nothing to do every day.
When she thought of this, Yan Luoyue felt her scalp tingling slightly.
She has no resistance to learning.
But spending a whole year studying the same subject, a subject in which I am weak... isn't that a bit too much?
So, when Ji Qinghong finished assigning new homework to Wu Manshuang and stayed alone with Yan Luoyue, Yan Luoyue tactfully raised her doubts.
She asked Ji Qinghong why he didn't leave some weapon refining work for her and Wu Manshuang to complete together?
To be honest, Yan Luoyue also wants to be a boss and lead Sheshefei in group work!
Ji Qinghong saw through Yan Luoyue's thoughts at a glance.
He smiled, shook his head nonchalantly, and issued a fatal judgment: "Little Wu can not learn to refine weapons, but you must learn the formation."
Yan Luoyue raised her head suddenly: "...Why?"
Those ruby-like eyes looked calmly into the depths of Yan Luoyue's eyes.
"If he doesn't learn weapon refining, nothing will happen. But if you don't understand formations, you will lack an ability to make up for your shortcomings."
This answer...
Suddenly, Yan Luoyue remembered that Jiang Tingbai had told her before that the turtle tribe was good at defense, but not good at attack. If she was interested, she could learn more about formations to make up for this weakness.
Yan Luoyue: "Senior Brother Jiang also suggested this to me."
Ji Qinghong smiled lightly and pulled out a teacup from somewhere. The tea in the cup exuded a refreshing aroma.
He took a sip to moisten his throat. "That's easy to see."
“It may take only a blink of an eye to come up with a good suggestion. But it may take a year or even ten years to implement it.”
"——Oh, considering your previous performance and the characteristics of your race, it may take you at least a hundred years to master the formation."
Ji Qinghong raised his eyebrows teasingly at Yan Luoyue and said with a leisurely smile: "We little rabbits can't stand such things."
Yan Luoyue: “…”
Wait, wait a minute, this sentence is imitating what she said in her previous reply to Jiang Tingbai, "What radishes? Our little turtle doesn't know such things"!
Feeling that his toes had begun to dig into the Pentagon, Yan Luoyue tried desperately to think of something else to divert his attention.
She recalled that before, in order to plead for her brother in front of Ji Qinghong, Niu Qidao had mentioned that Ji Yaozun liked to instruct young people.
At that time, Yan Luoyue thought that this was a really bad excuse.
But now it seems that it was no coincidence that Ji Qinghong was able to catch her and Wu Manshuang so skillfully.
Yan Luoyue was already good enough in weapon refining, so Ji Qinghong let her study on her own.
As for formation, Yan Luoyue was still an ignorant child, so Ji Qinghong put pressure on her to accumulate early knowledge; Wu Manshuang was extremely talented, so Ji Qinghong threw one difficult problem after another at him.
Two different students, two different subjects, but Ji Qinghong was able to grasp the balance between "guidance" and "teaching" so accurately.
From this, it seems that he may have always had the habit of guiding young people.
The only problem is...
Not far away, a "bang" sound exploded behind Yan Luoyue, startling two or three birds that were nesting there.
Yan Luoyue turned around and saw that Wu Manshuang was still tightly holding the "homework" that Ji Qinghong had just given him.
The explosion just now was caused by the operation that was mishandled.
At this moment, Wu Man Shuang's face was dark, her expression was gloomy, and even her hairstyle was blown up into that of an angry lion.
It can be said that the physical damage is not great, but the mental impact is extremely strong.
Ji Qinghong looked at this scene, not hiding his happy expression at all.
He also shared his happiness with Yan Luoyue, and lifted a bowl of sour plum soup with icy icing from mid-air, handing it to her with great care:
"Want to bet? He'll get it wrong at least three more times."
Yan Luoyue: “…”
——The only problem is that due to Ji Qinghong’s persistent bad taste, probably not many people can withstand his guidance.
Thinking of this, Yan Luoyue suddenly had an epiphany.
She asked cautiously, "Wait, Senior Brother Jiang is obviously a swordsman, but he can become my senior brother, is it because..."
Is it because before Jiang Tingbai, no one had ever been able to withstand Ji Qinghong's challenges?
Ji Qinghong recalled: "Maybe this is the reason? I have taught many people in the past. But Jiang Tingbai is the first one who didn't run away overnight after completing his training."
Yan Luoyue took a deep breath and lowered her head to drink the iced sour plum soup to calm herself down.
As soon as the sweet and sour drink entered her mouth, Yan Luoyue's whole body shook violently and a whole mouthful of sour plum soup spat out.
In the mouthful of sour plum soup that Yan Luoyue spurted out, in addition to the light brown drink, there was actually a small plum-colored flame hidden inside.
“…”
Water wraps fire, this is an advanced technique in refining weapons, Yan Luoyue also knows it.
But before today, she would never have imagined that someone would use this technique to hide fire in sour plum soup!
Ji Qinghong had already anticipated Yan Luoyue's accusing gaze, and he even told Yan Luoyue:
"This time it was just an ordinary fire, and it just burned you. But next time, I might give you a special fire."
Luoyue's first reaction was: "Since the copper coins in the dumplings will go to the person who eats them, then the strange fire that I drank should also belong to me, right?"
Ji Qinghong: “…”
This answer was obviously beyond Ji Qinghong's expectations and he found it very interesting.
Ji Qinghong lowered his head and smiled for a while, then said generously, "If you want it, I'll give it to you."
Back to the topic, Ji Qinghong pointed at the teacup and explained the reason for doing so.
"When I teach Xiao Wu, I start with formations, because formations are where his talent lies. But when I teach you..."
Yan Luoyue said cleverly: "Let's start with refining the weapon first?"
"No." Ji Qinghong smiled maliciously, "Let's start with survival first."
——He chose to teach her the formation in order to improve her survival ability.
Yan Luoyue: “…”
Ji Qinghong admired Yan Luoyue's suddenly frozen expression of deep hatred and resentment for a while, then reached out and patted her head soothingly.
Just before his palm was about to land on Yan Luoyue's head, Yan Luoyue suddenly had an idea.
The hairs on her back shuddered, and she suddenly raised her hands to stop Ji Qinghong's movements.
This reaction is much faster than the brain can work.
It was not until she grabbed Ji Qinghong's wrist that Yan Luoyue realized what was going on and looked up. She saw a light talisman between Ji Qinghong's fingers.
Given the difference in cultivation between Ji Qinghong and Yan Luoyue, he doesn't need any external assistance to do anything he wants.
The reason why he held the talisman was because he wanted Yan Luoyue to find it.
"Not bad, we managed to defend it once."
Ji Qinghong encouraged Yan Luoyue with a smile and patted her head again.
This time, Yan Luoyue tried to intercept it reflexively, but failed.
Ji Qinghong's palm smoothly penetrated Yan Luoyue's blockade, gently stroked Yan Luoyue's hair twice, and then he smacked Yan Luoyue's head and bounced her back three steps.
“——Ouch!”
Yan Luoyue immediately saw stars.
Ji Qinghong looked at her with a smile, and shook his head with a little regret: "It's a good thing to be on guard, but you can't make the wrong move."
“…”
When the three-person team gathered back to the inn that day, Ling Shuanghun was startled by the looks of Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang.
One of them had a dark face and his hair was frizzy from being blown, and the other had a miserable look on his face and his head was covered with lumps from being hit by bullets.
Ling Shuanghun: "... Did you two go to the West to obtain the scriptures without telling me?"
He had just taken two steps towards Yan Luoyue when she gave him a silent look.
That look was very different from Yan Luoyue's usual style, like a piece of weapon that had been sharpened to some edges.
"Xiaoyan, why... don't you seem right?"
Ling Shuanghun frowned, not knowing how to describe this feeling.
If turtles also have feathers, then the feathers all over Yan Luoyue's body would probably be blown up.
Yan Luoyue waved his hands wearily and said solemnly, "Don't mention it, Xiaoling. Now, no matter who I look at, I feel like there are always villains who want to harm me."
Ling Shuanghun: “…”
I saw my two friends, who were originally fine, go out happily in the morning and come back miserable in the evening.
The red-crowned crane was filled with indignation.
He flipped open the book and found the records about Ji Qinghong that he had found and listed in the past few days.
After re-reading the relevant materials about Ji Qinghong, Ling Shuanghun discovered that the other party's many deeds were simply too numerous to list.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Shuanghun wrote solemnly in the blank space of the letter:
Ji Yaozun is exactly the same as the legend said...
…
In the midst of pain and joy, time passed day by day, and the originally thick sealing wall became shorter and shorter.
Using this sealed wall as teaching material, Ji Qinghong unfolded a lot of vivid, lively, rich, interesting teaching content that Yan Luoyue and Wu Manyhuang still remembered vividly eight hundred years later.
Out of a sense of responsibility - of course, mainly because of the idea of being frugal and studying economics at the same time, Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang did not just slack off.
As long as time and energy permit, they will come to the sealing wall together, one person is responsible for breaking the formation, and the other is responsible for dismantling the refiner materials.
Yes, Wu Man Shuang now has the initial ability to break the seal.
The progress of this duo is so rapid that it is visible to the naked eye.
Even if he fished for three days and dried the nets for two days, his efficiency was almost the same as Yan Luoyue's previous working hours every day.
On the day when the progress of the sealing wall was more than halfway, Wu Manshuang drew out a formation pattern as usual.
But just as he quietly dissolved the formation, he felt a vague power flowing along the seal into his fingertips.
At first, Wu Manshuang didn't take this change to heart.
It was not until seven days later that the strange feeling accumulated and became more and more, and a strange bloating and pain surged in Wu Man Shuang's bones.
His body swayed slightly, and without warning, a gray haze appeared in front of his eyes.
Wu Man Shuang tried to take off the white veil covering her eyes, but her vision still became blurry from time to time.
“…”
If it were half a year ago, with Wu Manshuang's personality, she would probably suppress all the changes silently and endure them until she could no longer bear it.
But now, he can stop calmly.
Wu Manshuang told Yan Luoyue the current situation truthfully, saying that she could not continue to tear down the wall with her for the time being.
"... So there is such a situation?" Yan Luoyue was indeed a little surprised, and a little anxious and distressed, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Wu Manshuang assured her: "I didn't take this matter to heart in the past few days. But as soon as there was a change today, I told you."
Just then, Ji Qinghong appeared out of nowhere and arrived.
Yan Luoyue quickly pulled Wu Manshuang's sleeve and described his situation.
Ji Qinghong looked at Wu Manshuang for a while, then tapped the sealing wall twice.
After determining the combination of materials and formations here, his brows slowly knitted into a knot.
"It's okay, don't worry about it."
Although Ji Qinghong said this, the gentle and kind image he had in the past had disappeared without a trace.
For the first time, his fiery red eyes revealed such a cold murderous intent.
Yan Luoyue took a breath: "...Is it serious?"
Ji Qinghong's eyes were no longer smiling. He waved his hand and said, "Do your thing. You don't need to worry about this."
Wu Manshuang calmed down and took a step forward, saying, "It doesn't matter what the situation is. Please let me know, Demon Lord."
Apparently, there is no such thing as a law protecting minors in this world.
Hearing Wu Manyhuang's insistent request, Ji Qinghong glanced at him indifferently, bent his knuckles and tapped the sealing wall.
"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge - although the first half of the entire sealed wall has been opened, the second half has an additional combination of materials and formations."
In other words, this is the secret realm's owner's revenge for breaking the seal?
Yan Luoyue secretly clenched her fists, her fingertips felt a little cold. She tried her best to remain calm and asked, "What kind of combination is it, and what is the effect?"
"The second half of the material is mixed with a certain type of bone. As for the burst effect, it nourishes the growth of this material."
Yan Luoyue said in confusion: "It sounds... harmless?"
This setting should be made just to strengthen the seal. What does it have to do with revenge?
Ji Qinghong sneered: "It should be so. But he happened to be in a special period - how long has it been since you turned into your original form to look at yourself?"
Hearing Ji Qinghong say this, Yan Luoyue's heart sank again.
It had indeed been a while since she had seen Wu Man Shuang transformed into a little green snake.
Wu Manshuang was also a little surprised: "So this is related to this?"
Ji Qinghong nodded slightly. He stared at the two of them for a long time, until Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang's expressions became more and more nervous...
Then, Ji Qinghong suddenly smiled happily:
"You have been trying to break the seal for the past seven days. You have been affected by it imperceptibly, which is equivalent to eating some spiritual herbs that promote growth."
"What a coincidence! You are currently going through a critical period of growth."
"If you had changed back to your original form earlier, you would have discovered it long ago - little Wu Manshuang, you are almost dying."
Wu Manshuang: “…”
Yan Luoyue: “…”
They were scared to death, but it turned out to be just a normal physiological change!
To be mysterious about this is really, really too... frivolous!
Fortunately, Wu Manshuang was kind-hearted by nature. After a brief silence, she was able to properly bow and thank Ji Qinghong:
"I have never had such experience before... Thank you for your guidance, Master Yao."
Ji Qinghong looked at him with interest, his red eyes twinkling with a smile like stars: "It's been so long... Are you still calling me 'Demon Lord'?"
Realizing the hidden meaning in these words, Wu Man Shuang raised her head abruptly.
He took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "...Master?"
Across the tent, Ji Qinghong patted Wu Manshuang's head with a smile, and said in a half-truthful tone:
"Yes. But calling me Master all the time is too formal. You should just continue to call me White Radish."
Yan Luoyue: “…”
Wu Manshuang: “…”
——No, that happened so long ago, how come you still remember it?
——Fuck! No wonder you teased us on purpose before.
It turns out that the saying "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge" is meant to be used in this context!
