Nangong Ling'er shook her head. "I did have something to do, but even if you take my Qilin Pill, your injuries won't be fully healed. Now that I think about it, it might not be appropriate to send you again."
"Then tell me what it is! Anyway, I've been planning to take Yao'er out for some training during this time. This little girl is too soft-hearted; this won't do!"
"Oh? Since you have this idea, I'll just say it!" Nangong Ling'er chuckled softly, as if this was exactly what she wanted.
Xiao Yuhan saw through her thoughts and said, "Tell me quickly! What do you want me to do?"
Nangong Ling'er pondered for a moment, seemingly somewhat hesitant, but finally said, "Senior Brother, have you ever heard of Qin Huai Immortal Musician Jiang Ruoning?"
"Never heard of her, but judging from the name Qin Huai Xian Yin, she must be a great beauty with both talent and beauty, right?" Xiao Yuhan asked after thinking for a moment.
“That’s right! Junior sister, you’ve been quite direct. I want one of her treasures, called the Azure Water Pearl. It can be used in medicine, which is the medicine you just saw in the bottle. Perhaps I can further refine it to the point where it can be consumed. So I hope you can make a trip and bring the Azure Water Pearl back to me!” Nangong Ling’er said very sincerely.
"Oh? Why do I have to go? And... is there only one of these Azure Water Pearls?"
Nangong Ling'er smiled slightly and said, "This Azure Water Pearl is produced outside the South China Sea. It is rare and hard to come by. It can calm the mind and stabilize one's soul. This is a first-class treasure. The reason why I asked you, Senior Brother, to go is because Jiang Ruoning once made a wish. If she could meet a kindred spirit, she would give this pearl as her dowry, along with the pearl herself!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan panicked a little. "Junior sister, are you trying to trick me?! I'm not like Senior Brother Liu, who's not pure of heart! I didn't plan to get married so early!"
南宫铃儿微微一笑，“这话要是让柳师兄听见，你免不了挨揍，再说我又没让你真的娶她，你看看掌门师兄，跟谁都是兄弟相称，这在那姜若宁那儿可行不通，至于柳师兄，虽然生得英雄气，但却根本不懂女儿心，就只有萧师兄你既懂音律又心思细腻，而且也生得好看，这俊俏模样师妹看了都心动呢！”
"Don't give me that! Don't think I'll fall for your sweet talk. This whole thing looks suspicious. Can't you find someone else to help you get the Azure Water Pearl? Why do I have to go?" With that, Xiao Yuhan prepared to get up and move away.
Nangong Ling'er grabbed Xiao Yuhan's sleeves with both hands and shook them, acting coquettishly, "Oh dear senior brother, go ahead, it's not like I'm telling you to really marry that Jiang Ruoning, it's just a little bit of using your looks to trick him into giving you the Jade Pearl!"
"No! Get rid of that idea right now. I'm planning to take Yao'er out for training, not to go out and find some girl myself. Give up on that idea as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ling'er's expression changed, and she snorted, saying, "Then give me back the Qilin Pill! Accepting gifts without doing anything is unreasonable!"
"Hey! I've already eaten it... Besides, you yourself said it was hush money!"
"I don't care! Didn't you say, senior brother, that using a treasure like the Qilin Pill as hush money is too expensive? Since you know its value, give it back to me!"
"Alright! Then I'll spit it out for you!" Xiao Yuhan said in a serious tone.
Seeing Xiao Yuhan's seriousness, Nangong Ling'er immediately softened her tone and said, "Good senior brother, don't be like this. Besides, Jiang Ruoning is currently in Yingyue City at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. This place is a mixed bag, and there are countless disciples of the Ancient Demon Sect who are based here. If Yao'er wants to train, this place is a good choice!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan suddenly remembered that the system had mentioned the Demonic Sect before. According to the information the system mentioned last time, "it" first appeared in the human world by possessing the first sect leader of the Demonic Sect. Thinking about it this way, the Ancient Demonic Sect seemed to be worth investigating.
"Isn't that Kunlun Immortal Sect's territory? And the Kunlun Immortal Sect's Sect Master, Qin Yuejiao, has a bad temper. I don't want to provoke her!"
Nangong Ling'er continued, "It's alright, just don't provoke them. Yingyue City isn't close to Kunlun Immortal Sect, you just need to find a way to get the Azure Water Pearl back for me, please, my dear senior brother~"
Xiao Yuhan sighed, somewhat helplessly, then thought for a moment and agreed, "Alright, alright! But I can't guarantee I can get it for you!"
"It's alright! Senior brother will definitely be able to handle it!" Nangong Ling'er said happily.
Xiao Yuhan then realized that this girl had set a trap for him. As soon as he took the Qilin Pill, his injuries began to improve. He estimated that he would be almost fully recovered in less than half a day. He could have slowly recuperated, but this girl was willing to use such a good thing to help him recover. Wasn't she just trying to make it easier for him to do things for her?
Watching Nangong Ling'er leave happily, Xiao Yuhan realized he had been tricked, but since he had already agreed, there was nothing he could do.
He smiled helplessly, ran to the kitchen and drank the chicken soup that Yao'er had prepared, and then went to the thatched hut in the back mountain to find Bai Yao.
Anyway, the plan was to take her on a training trip, so it didn't matter where they went. After meeting Bai Yao, Xiao Yuhan explained the plan to go down the mountain.
Bai Yao was quite happy. Since the Lantern Festival, her appearance had changed a lot. She had put her hair up in the bun her master had suggested and was wearing the clothes her master had bought. Now that she heard that she was going down the mountain with her master again, she quickly asked happily, "Master, where are we going to play this time?"
Xiao Yuhan gently tapped her head, "All you ever do is play! This time we're going down the mountain for training!"
The little girl stuck out her tongue, then said with a grin, "Then Yao'er will go pack her things first. Master, wait for me!"
Xiao Yuhan smiled helplessly and waited for her to pack her things before the two of them went to see the sect leader, Ye Qingyun.
After all, this trip to Yingyue City would probably take more than a day or two to return, so Xiao Yuhan had to inform his senior brother. However, his senior brother was always easy to talk to and did not refuse, but he did remind him: "Junior Brother Xiao, since you are going to Yingyue City, you should pay your respects to the Sect Master of Kunlun Immortal Sect. It would be impolite not to say hello when you go."
"I'm not going. Qin Yuejiao is too fierce. She already dislikes me the most. Why should I go and make a fool of myself?"
Ye Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that because you said she was old before? Actually, she's about the same age as us. What woman would be happy to hear that?"
"I just misspoke. I've often heard people say 'White-clad warriors guard the lonely city in Tianshan,' so I thought it must be the heroic deeds of some senior. That's why I respectfully called her 'senior,' but she got upset and has been targeting me ever since. I can't afford to offend her, so I can at least avoid her, right?"
Ye Qingyun said helplessly, "So you should apologize to them properly!"
"I'd like to, but every time she talks to me, we almost start a fight after just a couple of words, so I can only avoid her."
