Standing at the entrance of Yunwu Town.
Fenjue asked in a very serious tone, "Is it beautiful?"
Gingerbread was a little dumbfounded. He touched his chin and looked closely, and indeed, it lived up to its name.
The ethereal mist in the mountains is refreshing and invigorating, a stark contrast to the bustling city—
—It feels like the whole city is shrouded in smog.
Look at the way Fen Jue is begging for praise.
She pursed her lips and, against her conscience, exclaimed, "Wow, so beautiful!"
Fenjue sensed the perfunctoriness in her words, said nothing, and secretly remembered that she disliked this kind of scenery.
I will try to avoid taking her to places like that in the future.
There's a saying: "Since we're already here..."
The two of them still decided to go inside and take a look around. Whether the scenery was beautiful or not was not important; what mattered was that there was good food.
Gingerbread is a foodie.
The people seemed used to the town being shrouded in mist, and each of them wore a yellow bead around their waist.
The thick spiritual mist actively avoided the bead upon contact.
They are not so blind as to not see what is within their immediate surroundings.
Those without spiritual roots cannot cultivate, but spiritual energy is beneficial to them. Living in such an environment year-round reduces the probability of illness among the people of Yunwu Town.
I bought a string of candied hawthorns from a street vendor.
We walked through the bustling streets and headed straight for the restaurants and eateries behind the main market.
I bought a lot of things along the way.
There were hairpins, cloth, and calligraphy and paintings.
She planned to give the calligraphy and painting to her senior sister Su, the hairpin to her eldest senior sister, and the fabric to make ordinary clothes herself.
They also bought scented ink for Wen Yuzhao.
I bought a toy for the peacock.
He shoved everything at Fenjue, who, clutching the dazzling array of gifts, pursed his lips and asked, "Nothing for me?"
"No, do you want some too?" Gingerbread turned her head, covering her mouth with a mischievous grin.
Fen Jue's expression stiffened slightly, and he lowered his eyes, saying, "I don't want to."
After saying that, he strode away.
Gingerbread chased after him with a laugh, "Just kidding, of course Xiao Jue is here!"
He looked down at the sleeve she was clutching tightly.
Anticipation rose in my heart.
The girl smiled sweetly, "Ta-da! I just secretly bought it when you weren't looking!"
A sword lay on a fair and soft palm.
A miniature sword?
Quite interesting.
"Isn't it interesting? Even though I bought it from a toy stall, I think it's very special."
It's very special.
Fen Jue nodded in agreement and reached out to take it.
When his fingers brushed across her palm, a tingling sensation ran through them. The two of them froze, turning their faces away at the same time.
Her ears turned red.
It was Gingerbread's rumbling stomach that broke the ambiguity: "Well, I'm hungry."
Fenjue wanted to ask, "Didn't you just have breakfast not long ago?"
Thinking of the other person's appetite, he chuckled and said, "The food at Qihelou Restaurant up ahead is quite good."
"Let's go, let's go!"
When I arrived at Qihelou, I ran into an old acquaintance.
Xiao Canglan and Senior Sister Su are on a date!
"Small cakes?" Su Qinghe wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief; she had accidentally gotten them while drinking tea.
"Senior Sister Su!"
She naturally grasped Fen Jue's sleeve and led him to sit down opposite Su Qinghe and Xiao Canglan.
"Are you here to see Senior Brother Xiao?" Jiang Bingbing shrewdly sized up the two of them.
Xiao Canglan looked at Su Qinghe with gentle eyes.
"Yes, I was a little worried about him, so I came to check on him." She said, lowering her head shyly.
Hey, looks like they're getting married soon!
Xiao Canglan and Su Qinghe had just arrived, and the four of them decided to sit down and eat together.
Su Qinghe suggested, "Junior sister, there's a lantern festival tonight, let's go see it together!"
Gingerbread turned to look at Fenjue, "Want to go?"
Fen Jue's gaze fell on her eager almond-shaped eyes, and he nodded slightly: "Then go."
Su Qinghe's eyes darted around, noticing that the atmosphere between Jiang Bingbing and Fen Ye was different from before.
The meal is ready.
The four of them didn't speak while eating.
While enjoying tea after dinner, Su Qinghe's eyes lit up. "Junior sister, I have some juicy gossip to tell you."
Is there any melon?
"Senior sister, please speak!"
Xiao Canglan and Fen Jue shook their heads helplessly when they saw the two people getting excited over gossip.
Su Qinghe: "You know Qu Rao, right?"
More than just knowing!
She even asked Xie Yingnan to go find Qu Rao.
"I know. What's wrong?"
"Someone in the gossip token said last night that Qu Rao seems to be with Ye Wuming, the sect leader of the Soul Sect."
What? ! !
This woman is just too much...
Gingerbread: "Hasn't Ye Wuming been in seclusion all this time?"
She had heard Fen Jue mention that the current sect leader of the Soul Sect was an old immortal who was nearly a thousand years old and had not yet ascended to immortality.
He is in seclusion year-round.
How did Qu Rao meet him?
"Not long ago, Xie Yingnan attacked the Demon Realm, and Qu Rao ran away, didn't she? She escaped and went straight to the Soul Sect."
"I don't know why, but there are rumors that the two of them have set a date and will soon become Daoist partners."
Gingerbread: "Such a big thing, and we didn't even know? How did the fellow Daoist with the Bagua Token find out?"
“I asked, and they said that their sect captured the monster from the Corpse Tower. That's what the monster said.” Su Qinghe was a little thirsty as she spoke, took a sip of tea, and continued, “I reported this to the sect leader this morning, thinking that you probably wouldn’t know, so I’ll tell you.”
"This is terrible..."
The gingerbread cake had a slightly darker color.
"Qu Rao stole Mo Cang's blood bead. Once she refines it, advancing to the Void Refinement Realm shouldn't be a problem. Since Soul Sect's Ye Wuming is determined to become a Daoist partner with the succubus, he clearly has ill intentions."
The Soul Sect already has two cultivators at the Refinement Realm.
In addition, their soul-controlling techniques prevent her from creating a protective shield to evade attacks on the soul.
There aren't enough materials to forge tens or hundreds of thousands of protective shields to protect everyone in the Immortal Sect.
