Chapter 19 I Don't Want to Bother My Sister-in-law
The Xuanlu that Xiao Jingsheng was assigned to had obviously been cleaned in advance. As soon as he stepped into the main hall, a faint fragrance hit him in the face.
As a qualified alchemist, Xiao Jingsheng immediately determined that the owner of the fragrance was a stick of red sandalwood incense from their alchemy hall, which had the effect of nourishing qi and refreshing the mind.
Xiao Jingsheng frowned slightly and took out a brand new incense stick from his ring: "Put out this incense stick and use this one."
Sister Su Miaotong was still thinking that the two incense sticks seemed to look the same, just a little thicker. Why didn't the immortal master wait until the first one burned out before lighting the second one.
Sister Su Miaoyan took it without hesitation, extinguished the original sandalwood incense, and lit the thicker one.
On the other hand, Xiao Jingsheng's slightly frown slowly relaxed.
You must always be on guard against others!
"Please take a seat, both of you." Xiao Jingsheng looked at Ning Yuan and his wife again and gestured with his hand.
"Caiwei, go with mother to clean the room." Seeing that the three seemed to have something to talk about, Xia Zhixuan consciously took her daughter's hand and prepared to leave.
Xiao Jingsheng grabbed the other person's hand and gently squeezed his fair palm: "There are no outsiders here, stay."
Xia Zhixuan felt warm at heart when she heard this, and she said "hmm" softly. However, she felt a little embarrassed because of the Ning Yuan couple, and her cheeks turned slightly red.
Now both of them are stewards of Dan Palace, so they naturally know her identity. It has only been a few days since her husband passed away, and she was already being intimate with other men. They must have thought she was a shameless woman.
Only the constant warmth from Xiao Lang's hands made her feel better.
[Hint: Xia Zhixuan's favorability +1, current accumulated favorability 79! ]
Xiao Jingsheng said he felt very comfortable.
"Mom, aren't you leaving?" Little Caiwei raised her chubby chin, looking a little puzzled.
Su Miaoyan took the initiative to take over the conversation and said, "Madam, let the servants take the young master to the courtyard to play."
Xia Zhixuan was grateful: "Then I'll have to trouble you two sisters."
After taking the muscle-growing and hemostatic pill, Ning Yuan's injuries recovered quickly. Although his limbs did not regenerate, the wound at the base of his thigh had completely stopped bleeding, and the blood stains on the gauze were gradually drying up.
With the help of several strong men and servants, he half leaned on a chair beside him.
Xiao Jingsheng didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "I wonder what the Bohai Rebellion that Senior Brother Ning mentioned earlier is all about. Why did he even recruit a Dan Palace deacon like you to the front line?"
It would have been better if Xiao Jingsheng hadn't mentioned it. This made Ning Yuan slam his hand on the armchair in anger: "Ah, it's nothing more than that the King of Dan is gone, and everyone is disappointed when he leaves."
"The heads of other peaks have long been dissatisfied with our Dan Palace, but they have not taken action in the past due to the intimidation of the Dan King. Now that the Dan King has left, they have begun to eliminate dissidents and want to arrange their own people to come to Dan Palace to share a piece of the pie. It just so happens that the Bohai monsters are stirring up trouble. Isn't this the opportunity? We have walked right into their trap!"
Xiao Jingsheng was puzzled: "Even if that's the case, with Senior Brother's foundation-building cultivation, can't he protect himself? Or are the monsters in Bohai so strong that a powerful monster cultivator has to intervene forcibly."
In Xiao Jingsheng's impression, these demon cultivators were regarded as alien barbarians by humans and driven to the North Sea. In terms of combat power, they should be far inferior to the combined strength of the ten major Xuanmen sects.
Ning Yuan sneered, "Those powerful demon cultivators are restrained by our human warriors, but the ten sects of Xuanmen are not necessarily united. They are either fighting each other or fighting secretly. And for some reason, those demons seem to have known our stronghold in advance. They launched a night attack before the ten sects of Xuanmen could gather on the battlefield. I ended up like this before I even arrived at the battlefield."
"Is there a spy from the demon clan in the alliance?" It was not surprising that the ten sects of Xuanmen had their own ulterior motives, but the coincidence mentioned by the other party had to cause Xiao Jingsheng to think deeply.
For some reason, he felt a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
Ning Yuan gently stroked the two empty sections of his limbs with a sad look on his face.
Obviously, he had no way of knowing.
But he was sure that he would become a laughing stock in the future.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his Taoist partner beside him, that slender waist, plump lips, and plump...
Alas! From now on he can only look but not touch.
The two of them are not like those childhood sweethearts who are obsessed with each other. The reason they came together is that they are just rootless duckweed, and they want to live together and take care of each other.
So when he lost his legs, the first thing he thought about was not that his foundation was destroyed, but that he was worried that his Taoist partner could not control his mouth.
After all, I am no longer humane.
If I had known this would happen, I should have left behind offspring so that someone could inherit my family line.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but look at Xia Zhixuan beside Xiao Jingsheng.
The deacons of the Alchemy Palace knew best how noble the status of the Palace Master's wife was in the past. Even when they paid their respects to her on normal days, they did not dare to look closely at her face. Now that she had lost the protection of the Alchemy King, she had become an ordinary concubine.
In comparison, Junior Brother Xiao in front of him was much luckier. He was able to succeed while surrounded by a group of wolves. He was truly the envy of others.
Xiao Jingsheng seemed to see Ning Yuan's sadness, and changed the subject: "Brother Ning, it's been a long time since we last met. I regret that this is not the right time, otherwise I would definitely get drunk with you."
Who knew that Xiao Jingsheng's words just touched Ning Yuan, and he laughed and said, "A real man doesn't have so many things to say. Today, I will drink to my heart's content."
"Ninglang..." Madam Wang pushed him as if she was worried about his injuries.
However, what Ning Yuan wanted to do most at this moment was to numb himself with alcohol, and there was no way Mrs. Wang could persuade him.
"It's okay. It's just a flesh wound. What can it do to me?" Ning Yuan waved his hand and was determined to have a hangover.
"I'll go get some wine right away." Xia Zhixuan bowed and went to help get the wine with a virtuous look on her face.
Ning Yuan felt even more uncomfortable when seeing this scene.
Normally, I have to please my Taoist partner in every way. I dare not go west when the other party points to the east. My whole body and furniture are in the hands of the other party. Therefore, after becoming a Taoist partner with the other party, I have never flirted with other women again.
It formed a sharp contrast with the gentle and virtuous wife of the former palace master in front of him.
Junior Brother Xiao is really good at managing his subordinates!
Thinking about the fact that the other party had also broken through the foundation building and was able to stand on equal footing with himself, but he ended up in an inhumane end, Ning Yuan felt that God was so cold to him.
"No need, I have wine here." Xiao Jingsheng stopped Xia Zhixuan from going there, and with a flip of his hand, he took out a jug of wine that exuded an intoxicating aroma from his ring.
Ning Yuan couldn't help but frown when he saw it: "How can this small pot be enough for you and me to share?"
Xiao Jingsheng smiled and explained, "It's not that I'm stingy. This wine is called Immortal Drunk, and I brewed it specifically for the Pill King. Even a Yuanying cultivator would have difficulty completely digesting the strength of this wine. Even when the Pill King was alive, he only dared to drink a few glasses."
[Hehehe, I can't help it after all. After drinking this pot of wine, even a Yuanying master will be drunk and unconscious. Even if there is a big noise, he won't know. Then this lady Wang... I'm counting on you, time traveler! ]
Neuropathy!
I just couldn't bear to see Senior Brother Ning sad alone, I didn't have any other thoughts.
"Oh, it's the special supply from the King of Pills. Now it's a bargain for me. Come, let me taste this fairy wine." Ning Yuan became interested immediately after hearing it.
"Let me pour the wine." Xia Zhixuan gave Xiao Jingsheng enough face and was ready to do it herself.
Xiao Jingsheng nodded with a smile, and then turned his hand over and two more wine cups appeared.
Xia Zhixuan quickly and obediently filled Xiao Jingsheng's glass with wine. However, when approaching Ning Yuan, the latter was obviously not used to the high-ranking Palace Master's wife pouring wine for him personally. He wanted to stand up stiffly, but realized that he had lost his legs.
A wave of grief surged in my heart again!
"Here, I'll drink this glass to you. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Today everyone laughed at me, but you, Junior Brother Xiao, came to my rescue." Ning Yuanhu's eyes were filled with tears, and he poured the glass of wine directly into his mouth when he became emotional.
Xiao Jingsheng shook his head helplessly and had to accompany him, drinking the whole cup in one breath.
"Okay!" Ning Yuan felt a little more pleased when he saw his sincerity and gave Madam Wang a look.
Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes, but she had to give Ning Yuan face outside. She walked forward, took the wine jug from Xia Zhixuan, and walked towards Xiao Jingsheng.
"I don't want to trouble you, sister-in-law. I can do it myself."
Xiao Jingsheng was flattered and stood up to take the wine jug.
Unexpectedly, Madam Wang rolled her eyes at him and said in a struggle, "Junior Brother Xiao, please don't make it difficult for me."
One of them wanted to take it, while the other refused, and during the pushing and shoving, there was a slight collision with the warm place.
Xiao Jingsheng suddenly felt like he was electrocuted and immediately let go of his hand.
Mrs. Wang was also startled. She used the wine jug to protect herself, pressing it against her plump breasts, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.
"Sister-in-law, I..." Xiao Jingsheng's old face turned slightly red, and he hesitated to speak.
Madam Wang was afraid that the other two would know about this misunderstanding, so she pretended that nothing had happened and said angrily, "Brother, why are you so distant with me and won't let me fill this cup?"
Xiao Jingsheng had no choice but to give up: "It was me who was confused."
