Chapter 14
No, why did you send that person to a brothel?
Jiang Wan coughed twice and looked at Lin Xubai in shock, who was confused.
"No." Lin Xubai was bewildered. "I just sent the person to Xiangming Pavilion and spent spirit stones on it."
Jiang Wan: “!!!”
But Xiangming Pavilion is a brothel!
Wait a minute, looking at Xiaobai's expression, he shouldn't be unaware of this... Well, he grew up in Guiyuan Sect and hasn't seen much of the world.
Jiang Wan was still trying to digest Lin Xubai's bolt from the blue when a loud slap from the side took away all of Jiang Wan's attention.
I thought this was outrageous enough, but it turns out there’s something even more outrageous!
“Snap—”
There was another crisp slap, and the originally noisy street suddenly became quiet.
"You still say no!"
"Liar! You shameless bastard pretending to be ruthless! You have no shame! Don't let me see you again! Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you!"
"I really love you! Shuang'er——"
The man, whose body was covered in bruises, knelt down and held the woman's legs tightly.
"Shuang'er! Shuang'er!"
"Get out!" The woman's face was full of anger, as if she was facing some garbage. She kicked the man in the chest and kicked him away.
After kicking the man away, he was still not satisfied and pulled out the whip from his waist and whipped him a few more times before leaving.
At this moment, there were many people watching the excitement on the street. There was no surprise on their faces, but rather a look of familiarity.
"Pretending to be ruthless?" Jiang Wan looked at the man kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, and noticed that he was carrying a sword on his back, which showed that he was a sword cultivator.
Is there still pretending to be ruthless these days?
"That female cultivator was a disciple of the Heavenly Desire Palace, practicing the Way of Joy. Originally, she and the sword cultivator were only casually acquainted. However, the sword cultivator was playing both sides, pretending to be a sword cultivator practicing the Way of Mercyless. In reality, he was secretly using tricks to induce the female cultivator to fall in love with him, just to seize the cultivation resources in her hands."
"Pretending to be noble and righteous."
"Unfortunately, fake is fake. Hypocrisy will eventually be exposed. Don't be fooled by his heartfelt and heartbroken crying. He is actually crying because he lost the cultivation resources he had obtained."
"He's been obsessed with this female cultivator for a long time. He's been pestering her and causing a scene every few days. Everyone on the street is used to it."
Jiang Wan nodded: "So that's how it is."
I understand. This is because his graduation project was fake and his graduation was delayed. No wonder he hates it so much.
But why did the voice that explained it to her seem so familiar?
Jiang Wan turned her head, and then her whole body froze.
"Hey~ You two, what a coincidence~ We meet again~"
Sometimes, people just can't do anything that would do the wrong thing, otherwise if they walk too much, they will always encounter ghosts.
That's not right. She hasn't done anything wrong, so why should she feel guilty?
"Uh, it's you." Jiang Wan was embarrassed and immediately sat next to Lin Xubai, blocking him.
The person who came was Gong Mei that Jiang Wan and Lin Xubai mentioned.
The clothes that Gong Mei wore today were different from the plain white clothes she wore before. The apricot-colored robes were embroidered with shimmering ginkgo runes, which made it obvious that she was a disciple of a large sect and had a profound background.
He had to block it, after all, his eldest nephew's fighting power was so weak that it would be too late for him to win by drawing talismans.
When Lin Xubai saw the person, he did not look guilty at all. Instead, he calmly asked the person to sit down and poured a cup of fresh tea and pushed it over.
"Huma Pavilion is indeed known as the all-knowing place in the world of immortal cultivation. It really has chosen a good place for Miss Gong. As expected, the girl has found her true love."
"As Humaiting said, this Xiangming Pavilion is the most suitable place for Miss Gong to go."
"The flower sea in Yongshu Township is a place where monks pledge their love. I think we'll be able to drink at the young lady's wedding soon. Congratulations." Lin Xubai looked around and asked casually, "Speaking of which, why isn't Miss Gong's lover by her side? Why is she alone?"
Gong Mei stared at Lin Xubai for a long time, as if she was crying but not crying, as if her true love had been betrayed.
"Yes, I also want to thank Fellow Daoist Lin for giving me such a good marriage."
He suddenly smiled and turned to look at Jiang Wan.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I also want to thank you for saving my life. Although this jade pendant with twin butterflies and intertwined branches is not a top-grade spiritual weapon, it can withstand a full-strength attack from a Jindan cultivator. I give it to you for self-defense."
Before Jiang Wan could refuse, Gong Mei forced the jade pendant into her.
It felt warm to the touch. It was a blood-colored jade pendant. It was indeed as its name suggested. Two branches of spiritual wood intertwined and blossomed with twin flowers, attracting two butterflies to roost there.
It was very beautiful, Jiang Wan liked it very much. In return, Jiang Wan took out the blue medicine that could restore spiritual power.
Just as he was about to give it as a return gift, he was stopped by Lin Xubai.
"Oh, Junior Sister, you should not show off your skills in front of the disciples of Xuanyun Valley this time."
Jiang Wan: “?”
"Master Lin has good eyesight. Brother Yuan is indeed a disciple of Xuanyun Valley."
Lin Xubai waved his hand to interrupt Gong Mei, "No, no, Xuanyun Valley disciple Ningguangfu is famous throughout the world for his skill in helping others. My junior sister and I have been training outside for many years, so how could we not recognize him?"
"Knowing that Fellow Daoist Gong is eager to repay your kindness, I'll consider the spirit stones I spent on buying information for Miss Gong as a gift to you two." Lin Xubai Wenyu's face lit up. "Hey, Fellow Daoist Gong, why don't you try this tea? Tea made from the forget-me-not flowers in Yongshu Township is not something you can drink whenever you come."
Lin Xubai's casually made up forget-me-not flower really fooled Gong Mei, who didn't understand it.
However, Gong Mei said that she just came over to say hello to an acquaintance, and was afraid that her fellow Taoist would worry if she was out for too long, so she said goodbye and left without even drinking tea.
As soon as the person left, Jiang Wan subconsciously poured out the tea.
Lin Xubai was speechless for a moment as he watched Jiang Wan's graceful movements.
"Hehe." Jiang Wan laughed dryly and looked away vaguely.
She didn't know why she acted as if she was destroying a corpse. Before she had time to think, her body moved.
"Heh," Lin Xubai lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly, the smile on his lips no longer pretending.
It was as if the temperament that originally had a distant smile suddenly became lazy, like a layer of misty tea breaking through at this moment, gentle and bright, penetrating into people's hearts.
Jiang Wan didn't know why Lin Xubai was laughing, but she felt that this laugh was different.
Jiang Wan couldn't tell what was different.
Forget it, just laugh if you want to.

"Qingqing? Tu Changxing? Why are you here too?"
"It's because you left too fast. Tu Changxing was worried about you. Anyway, I have nothing to do, and the mission I received is also nearby, so I came to find you with Tu Changxing."
Bai Qingqing is curious: "But why did you come here just now? Did you get lost?"
"Uh. Let's not talk about that for now. What mission did you receive?"
"It's the Kaleidoscope. Your mission is to spread the news about the Kaleidoscope and the Twelve Pavilions along the route marked on the map."
Jiang Wan: “…”
How could she not know about the Kaleidoscope? On the first day she entered the Law Enforcement Hall with the person who stole the Kaleidoscope.
There is such a sect mission, I am really impressed.
Tsk, didn't she miss a great opportunity to make a fortune?
"So many people came to steal the Kaleidoscope, but I didn't expect that it was Guiyuan Sect who released the news themselves." Jiang Wan's mouth twitched slightly.
but.
"What exactly is a kaleidoscope?" Why are so many people trying to steal it?
"It's said that it can manipulate time and is the key to unlocking the long river of time and the gate to immortality." Bai gently pointed his finger, "But this is just a rumor. It's obviously fake to say it can open the gate to immortality."
"The matter of the kaleidoscope is not important. What's important now is that there is a problem with the mission in Yongshu Township!" Tu Changxing said seriously.
It turned out that they thought this was just an ordinary yellow-level mission, so after Tu Changxing and Bai Qingqing completed their tasks, they went to Yongshu Township together.
Who knew that once you came in, you could never get out.
Bai Qingqing and Tu Changxing have been trapped in Yongshu Township for quite some time because they were too diligent in completing their tasks.
He knew much more than Jiang Wan and Lin Xubai.
At first, Tu Changxing was worried about Jiang Wan, but as time went on, he felt that Jiang Wan might not be able to find him if he went out.
Who would have thought that Jiang Wan would come in on such an ordinary day.
Tu Changxing and Bai Qingqing discovered that in Yongshu Township, everyone must have a story of their own.
"Otherwise, if your story is no longer remembered by others, or is gradually forgotten by them, then your existence will gradually become transparent, and you will become nothing more than nutrients for the sea of flowers outside the city, and eventually disappear."
Disappearance means death.
Besides, not just any story will do.
"Ah? The love story where the disciple of Tianyu Palace was deceived by a fake swordsman is fake?!!" Jiang Wan was surprised.
The fight was just like the real thing!
"That female cultivator is indeed a disciple of the Heavenly Desire Palace, but that male cultivator is just an ordinary independent cultivator. There's only a conflict of interest between them, not any affection," Bai Qingqing explained. "This incident happens every few days on this street."
"Could it be that the man was hired by the female cultivator specifically to perform this act?" Jiang Wan complained.
She was just casually complaining along these lines, but judging by the expressions on Bai Qingqing and Tu Changxing's faces, she was actually right?!
"I see." Lin Xubai tapped his fan lightly, "No wonder you two have the same sword tassel."
"Yongshu Township is a famous place where men and women cultivate their love. The stories it tells are naturally about love between men and women."
Indeed, Jiang Wan thought of the news she had heard from the waiter before.
But it has to be a story, and a love story that will be memorable to others.
To this end, the two pretended to be an unmarried couple and manually made the sword tassels overnight using the sea of flowers in Yongshu Township.
Tu Changxing's hands were worn out after working on handicrafts all night.
Ah, this...
It was easy to come in, but it’s hard to get out!
Jiang Wan frowned. She had been eating and drinking leisurely along the way and didn't think this mission could be difficult or important.
Guiyuan Sect could assign her, a person who had just joined the sect not long ago, to complete the task. Wouldn’t they consider her actual ability?
Who knew that she would be so lucky that no one would even consider her and she would win the jackpot.
Guiyuan Sect really hasn’t considered it.
What a pitfall!
Can I add money?
