Chapter 36 Purpose
On the bustling long street of Silver Moon City, the owner of the Peach Blossom Wine stall showed a look of sudden enlightenment and said, "So you are a couple, right?"
Jian An Ning was stunned, and Lu Fei was also stunned. They quickly denied it three times, saying, "It's not impossible, how could it be possible?"
"This is my apprentice." Jian An Ning finally chose to tell the truth.
However, the stall owner showed a very meaningful look and said, "Master and apprentice? I understand."
Jian Anning & Lu Fei: I don’t really want to know what he understood.
Even someone as shameless as Jian An Ning couldn't stand the stall owner's fiery gaze. She pulled Lu Fei and ran away, almost forgetting her gourd.
They ran several blocks away and stopped in a relatively secluded corner. The long street was crowded with people and no one noticed their appearance.
Jian An Ning originally wanted to go back to the inn directly, but things in this world are so unpredictable.
She had only taken two steps when she heard a voice coming from within the high wall of the courtyard in front of her. The voice was quite familiar.
Jian An Ning cast a spell and was able to get a glimpse of what was happening in the courtyard.
There stood a man and a woman, looking intimate. The woman was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had pearls and jade on her hair. Jane An Ning did not recognize her, but she had seen the man not long ago.
He is Jiang Tan's biological father, and he is also Chu Qinghe who secretly sent them to Yingzhou Island.
It’s strange, since Jiang Qing controlled the pass so strictly, how did Chu Qinghe get people in?
What exactly was the cross-sea tunnel they passed through used for?
Jian An Ning came up with many doubts in an instant.
So, she and Lu Fei stood outside the courtyard wall and listened to the conversation of the people inside the wall. Because her cultivation was higher, the people inside the wall did not notice.
"You have to help Qing'er." The woman's expression was full of worry.
"Don't worry," Chu Qinghe said with an ambiguous look, "I've already been to where Jiang Tan is staying."
Jane Anning's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
Originally, this would not be a big deal, and she was planning to continue listening.
But at some point, a black cat climbed up the wall and saw her and Lu Fei directly. Its fur stood on end and it screamed fiercely.
At the same time, the people inside the wall also became alert and said, "The spirit cat would bark like that if it discovered someone eavesdropping!"
"Oh no!" Jian An Ning pulled Lu Fei up and left quickly without leaving any trace.
When Chu Qinghe and the woman came out, they found nothing.
"Maybe the civet cat made a misjudgment?" the woman tried to explain the situation.
But Chu Qinghe slowly shook his head, looked around and said, "There's no way the spirit cat would misjudge."
Then he said to the woman, "I have to leave now. You and Qing'er, please be careful."
After saying that, Chu Qinghe climbed over the wall and left, but he did not head towards the outside of Yingzhou City.
On the other side, in the inn.
Jiang Tan held a triangular talisman and looked at Fan Qingyue in surprise.
Just now, Chu Qinghe came inexplicably, said a few empty words of comfort, threw down the talisman and left.
"What does he mean?" Jiang Tan asked curiously.
Fan Qingyue shook his head. He wasn't familiar with the people on Yingzhou Island, so he could only speculate based on their superficial behavior: "Maybe he wants to help you?"
Jiang Tan sneered and said with certainty, "That's impossible. He doesn't care about my mother, let alone me."
"We are all just tools for his own ends."
Jiang Tan fixed his eyes on the small talisman and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Grandpa expelled him from the Jiang family because he secretly plotted to seize the Jiang family inheritance and put it into practice."
"Because of this incident, my mother and I were implicated, so Jiang Qing was able to drive me out of Yingzhou so easily."
Jiang Tan can now remain calm when talking about these things.
But Fan Qingyue could imagine that when his junior sister first came to Qingyun Sect, she was holding a grudge in her heart, so she worked extra hard, which was completely different from him.
He didn't know what to say to comfort Jiang Tan, so he could only pat her shoulders gently to comfort her.
It was at this time that Jian An Ning and Lu Fei also returned to the inn.
Jiang Tan subconsciously kept the talisman close to his body, and then listened to Jian An Ning talking about Chu Qinghe again.
"Does your father have someone very familiar with Yingzhou Island besides you and your mother?" Jian An Ning thought for a while and decided to tell the truth.
Jiang Tan was slightly stunned. In fact, she had never thought about it in this way.
However, when she thought about it carefully, she had no idea about the origins of her biological father.
When Jian An Ning saw Jiang Tan's reaction, she had an idea in her mind, but to be honest, she didn't sense anything unusual in Chu Qinghe and the woman.
Lu Fei gently asked, "Master, what's going on with that cat? When it looks at me, I always feel like a person is looking at me."
"Is that a monster?"
Jane Anning shook her head.
That was the only suspicious thing she found. The cat seemed to have gained intelligence.
Even if a monster can absorb and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth by instinct, it is impossible for it to possess intelligence, unless it is no longer a monster.
In an instant, countless thoughts emerged in Jane An Ning's mind, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.
"What's wrong?" Lu Fei asked when he saw her unhappy expression.
Jian An Ning shook her head and whispered, "Come to think of it, last time in Fuyu, weren't those demonic beasts mixed with the demonic cultivators?"
Jiang Tan's face suddenly turned ugly.
But this person came to the Jiang family almost solely for the Jiang family inheritance, so it can be said that he had the same greed in his heart as the demon cultivators, and Jiang Tan could not agree more.
"Don't think too much," Jian An Ning quickly comforted her with a calm expression, "You just need to deal with the duel with Jiang Qing well."
After saying that, she rubbed her forehead, turned around and went back to her room.
When no one was around, she took out the ancient bronze mirror, made a hand gesture, and lifted a small corner of the seal.
"You've been to Yingzhou."
Jian Anning frowned and said with certainty.
The person in the mirror had a face exactly like Jian Anning's, but he smiled calmly and said, "What does it have to do with you?"
Jian An Ning snorted and said, "You must have planned to get the origin of earth first."
"But the Jiang family is very clever. They write the names of their family members on hibiscus leaves. This way, the souls of the Jiang family will always be reincarnated as Jiang family members, and they won't give outsiders any chance."
The person in the mirror sneered and said, "It was just luck that they picked up a hibiscus leaf. The leaf is only that big, and they won't be able to write down the names of all the Jiang family members."
What the person in the mirror said actually made a lot of sense, which was why Jiang Tan said that she and Jiang Qing were the only two members of the Jiang family who were recognized in this generation, because only their names were written on the hibiscus leaves.
"What's more, although the Jiang family has benefited from the geographical advantages of Yingzhou, they have been able to preserve more things."
"So much so that the bloodbath of the other aristocratic families in Yingzhou was done much earlier than those other fools. However, as time passed, some things were gradually forgotten, so some other souls and other people had already mixed in."
"You're one of them, right?" Jian Anning said confidently, and whispered, "I sensed traces of your presence."
The person in the mirror paused for a moment, then suddenly became emotional and shouted at Jian Anning, "I don't need you talking to me like that!"
"If you really have any kindness, you should let me go!"
The person in the mirror seemed to be forced into a state of panic and was hitting the mirror surface hard.
But the world outside the mirror is not disturbed at all, and the person in the mirror seems to be doing useless work.
Jian Anning looked helpless and said, "How can I dare to let you go out like this? Who knows what you will do?"
She took the gourd from her waist and carefully poured a little onto the mirror. Then she said, "You should drink some water to calm down."
"Get out of here!"
The person in the mirror hates this kind of thing very much, but there are only a few drops of liquid outside the mirror, but after entering the mirror, it becomes a rushing river, rushing and flowing in the mirror, and even flying out of the mirror surface, forming a puddle of water on the ground.
After a while, the person in the mirror disappeared. Jane Anning knew that she must have hidden in a corner where she couldn't see her.
She re-sealed the seal, then put the bronze mirror directly into her arms, took out the thread-bound book, flipped through it, and started drinking by herself.
"Dong Dong Dong"
Just then, there was a knock on the door and Lu Fei's voice.
Jian An Ning was a little confused as to why Lu Fei came, but she still let him in.
As soon as Lu Fei came in, he saw Jian An Ning holding a gourd, her cheeks slightly flushed, and some undried wine at the corners of her lips.
He had always wondered how this peach blossom wine could be so delicious, but that didn't stop him from taking out the wine jug and walking towards Jian An Ning, saying, "Since Master really likes peach blossom wine, I took the initiative to buy a jug and give it to you."
Jian An Ning blinked her eyes. She didn't expect Lu Fei to go back again.
However, she didn't expect that Lu Fei was so nervous when he said this that he didn't notice the water stains on the ground and then stepped on them.
Lu Fei's feet slipped and he flew forward.
In a flash, he remembered to protect the wine jug, but forgot to protect himself.
Jian An Ning reacted quickly and wanted to pick him up.
However, perhaps because it was so sudden, their positions shifted slightly.
The corner of Lu Fei's lips rubbed against the lingering wine on the corner of Jian An Ning's lips, and then fell on the table.
"Are you okay?"
Jian An Ning pulled up the pitiful little apprentice and asked with concern.
Lu Fei shook his head, put the wine jug on the table, left it to Jian An Ning, and then ran away.
Jane Anning only saw that his cheeks were as red as a tomato.
She tilted her head, not quite understanding Lu Fei's actions, but subconsciously touched the corner of her lips.
Jane Anning's heart suddenly skipped a beat when she felt the lingering wine.
On the other side, Lu Fei ran back to his room and realized what had happened.
He only felt as if he tasted an extremely faint scent of peach blossoms.
