Chapter 74
The woman's voice was soft, like the gurgling of water, clear and pleasant but without any aggression.
Sui Sui listened and couldn't help but tilt his head. He moved his gaze away from the young man in gorgeous clothes on the far left and looked at the woman who was speaking with his big, bright black eyes.
Taoist Xilong's attention was originally mostly on the young swordsman on the island, but inadvertently, his eyes moved slightly and met a pair of bright, innocent and clear eyes.
She was slightly stunned.
The little fellow in a small grey robe had soft hair on his forehead, round eyes, and a bright spiritual pattern on his forehead. He hugged the strong and powerful arm of the young swordsman beside him like a koala.
It can be seen that the little guy is extremely dependent on the young swordsman beside him. His soft little body is very close to the young swordsman, and his subconscious trust is completely pure and indestructible.
As for that young swordsman, Daoist Master Xilong had known about him before. He was looking at them with cold eyes and a calm expression.
However, although the young swordsman's attention did not seem to be on the little fellow hanging on his arm, Taoist Xilong had grown step by step from an abandoned baby in the mortal world to where he is today, so naturally he would not be easily fooled by appearances.
She was sure that if they made any unusual movement, the young swordsman would be able to immediately stand in front of the little guy and protect him tightly.
Taoist Xilong couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his lips.
The thought that flashed through my mind before became clearer at this moment.
She looked at the young swordsman and the little child on the island, and seemed to see two little eagles depending on each other for survival.
The larger one had sharp grey feathers and piercing eyes, and was agile, solitary, and murderous. The smaller one was round and fluffy, with soft down, and even its cry was childish.
It's still a small ball of fur.
No matter how violent and fierce Gray Eagle is when facing his enemies, he is always gentle and harmless in front of the little ball of fur.
The little ball of fur would crawl under the wings of the gray eagle, then quietly poke its little head out, feeling the clear wind and gentle rain without any worries.
The gray eagle's wings are strong enough and its claws are sharp enough.
So, wherever the little ball of fur looked, there were lively waves and soft clouds.
Under the wings of the gray eagle, the little ball of fur can grow up slowly and remain innocent forever.
...It was them who suddenly broke into Little Eagle's world.
Taoist Xilong was touched, and felt a regret that could not be described in words.
She looked away, her gaze distant for a moment, but her voice became gentler: "We have no ill intentions."
Suisui stuck closer to her brother, moved her little hand down, held her brother's hand, and blinked her black round eyes.
Know it every year~
Although the four cultivators who suddenly appeared in front of him had different expressions and auras, none of them had any malicious intent.
Moreover, apart from Mingruo Daojun, the one with the softest attitude is the female cultivator who is speaking now.
I listened to her talk carefully~
They came here because of the gathering thunderclouds...
In fact, as soon as Taoist Xilong mentioned it, Suisui remembered it.
During these five years, there have indeed been more thunderclouds over Linghai.
Sui Sui had a serious expression on his face and was quietly lost in memories.
At first, the spirit of the weapon suddenly discovered the existence of the little spirit race, and in a moment of excitement, it poured too much spiritual energy into it, causing its brother to advance to the Golden Core stage and have to experience a thunder tribulation.
Later, the blood-clotting grass and Dahei's cultivation level increased successively, breaking through from the Qi training stage to the foundation-building stage. Then, the thunderclouds gathered again.
In the end, the cultivation of Hypericum jasminoides and Glossy Blood Vine also reached the limit, and like their brother, they advanced to the Golden Core stage.
Except for Sui Sui, every living creature in this family has experienced the tribulation of thunder.
As the little fellow thought about it, his cheeks couldn't help but puff out, and his soft flesh chuckled: Only Sui Sui is lagging behind!
After a while, Suisui will also have to endure the thunder tribulation!
But no matter how heroic and confident the little guy was, it did not prevent him from drawing a clear dividing line in his heart - these were all family affairs.
It has nothing to do with others.
Now, my brother is keeping silent vigilantly so that Suisui won’t fall behind!
Suisui and his brother are on the same front~
So, Suisui put away all his ambitions, raised his little face, and showed a bright smile to Taoist Xilong. He was very well-behaved, but he was determined not to say a word.
Taoist Xilong looked at the child with a pair of bright and shining eyes, and immediately understood what he meant, and couldn't help laughing.
She didn't want to embarrass the cute child, and since she already had some guesses in her mind, she decided to skip the topic.
However, the young man in gorgeous clothes beside Taoist Xilong lowered his eyes and looked over at this moment.
"Elves." The young man's voice was gorgeous, and there was an innate dignity and arrogance lingering around, but strangely enough, it was not annoying.
"Over the past five years, the thunder tribulations above the Falling Sea seem to have been caused by you." He said calmly and indifferently, "Today, the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation occurred, and we came here to investigate. The commotion was quite significant, and the news that the Spirit Race still exists can no longer be concealed."
"The Eldar have been silent for tens of thousands of years, but that doesn't mean you are safe."
"Are you willing to return to Shangzun City with me? The Ji clan once had friendly relations with the spirit race and will definitely protect you."
When Sui Sui heard the young man's voice, she subconsciously moved closer to her brother and almost squeezed into his arms.
The little fellow was looking up at the young man in fancy clothes while pinching his brother's fingers. He was definitely a lively little eagle leaning against the mighty and ferocious gray eagle and looking curiously at the stray intruders.
After listening to the young man's words, Sui Sui's bright black round eyes blinked a few times.
In fact, this was not my brother’s original plan!
When they were still at the bottom of the Spirit Sea, the brother once held Sui Sui in his arms and sat on the white jade steps in front of the palace, looking at the dark sea water that was blocked outside by the barrier of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon, and patiently analyzed the situation to Sui Sui in a gentle voice.
Although the Mirror Flower Water Moon's barrier was powerful, it would not recklessly waste the spiritual energy contained within. After all, Mirror Flower Water Moon was now guarded by only one spirit, so spiritual energy had to be used sparingly.
When Jiang Mingyan is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, in order to prevent the barrier from being destroyed by thunder again, the spirit of the weapon will let Jiang Mingyan and Suisui out.
However, Jiang Mingyan did not plan to undergo the tribulation immediately upon reaching the Spiritual Sea.
Why did the Spirit Sea become desolate overnight, and why did the spirits flow in rivers of blood... The Yuanying Thunder Tribulation was too loud, and unknown enemies were hiding in the dark. Jiang Mingyan was not prepared to expose Sui Sui and himself to the world's sight without knowing anything.
For this purpose, he even specifically asked the spirit of the weapon, wanting to know if there was a spiritual weapon in the Mirror Flower Water Moon that could temporarily suppress spiritual power.
——Of course there is.
Thinking of the complex look in his brother's eyes when he saw the thin rope around his wrist gradually fading in color, mixed with a hint of expected helplessness, Sui Sui couldn't help but secretly curl up the corners of his mouth.
However, the spirit of the weapon was wrong.
The spirit of the weapon mistook the Yang Zhen Wang You Fu that condensed spiritual power for the Yin Ling Wang You Fu that suppressed spiritual power and gave it to his brother!
Therefore, Suisui and his brother had just arrived at the Spiritual Sea when the thunder tribulation condensed not long after.
Jiang Mingyan and Suisui thought of the same thing.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the little fellow's sneaky giggle, and a subtle gentle smile spread across Jiang Mingyan's calm and sharp brows. But when he raised his eyes again to look at the young man in gorgeous clothes in the air, he disappeared without a trace.
He was about to speak when Ming Ruo Daojun, who had been silent except for winking at Sui Sui at the beginning, suddenly came to his senses and interrupted, "Ji Yao, what you said is not right."
"Five years ago, I already met these two little guys. Everything should be based on first come first served, right? Besides, although your Ji clan's Shangzun City is nice, the affairs of the dynasty are complicated after all. How much better is our Qingmiao Sect? Not only is it surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is also built on a spiritual vein, so it is full of spiritual energy."
Seeking approval, he turned to look at the man in the sword robe beside him, urging him: "Shengwei, don't you think this is the truth?"
Daoist Master Shengwei glanced at him indifferently, looked away and ignored him.
Ming Ruo Daojun sighed regretfully: "Shengwei, why don't you learn from your senior brother? Why are you so serious every day?"
"If I'm not serious, do I have to be like you, always so carefree?" Ji Yao sneered, "I think you're too leisurely and used to doing nothing. You've long forgotten all the things you learned with great difficulty."
"Isn't Shangzun City also built on a spiritual vein? The spiritual energy of Shangzun City is no worse than that of your Qingmiao Sect."
Ji Yao scoffed, "Besides, you're talking about Shangdu City. Shangdu City is the capital of the dynasty. Shangzun City is a place for quiet cultivation. Where does all the complicated affairs come from?"
"You, the Ji family, insisted on building two cities, and the names are so similar. Isn't it normal that I got them confused for a moment?" Ming Ruo Daojun said with confidence and without any shame.
Ji Yao curled the corners of his lips coldly.
When a cultivator breathes in spiritual energy, his body will gradually become perfect. Besides, Shen Mingruo is already a Dongxu cultivator, so how could it be so easy for him to make a mistake?
He just wanted to snatch people from him and deliberately pull down the Ji family.
Ji Yao looked at the two elves standing on the island.
This time, he paid special attention and indeed detected some of Shen Mingruo's aura in the little guy with delicate eyebrows and round face.
It's a sword talisman.
They had indeed met before, Ji Yao thought, at least on this point, Shen Mingruo did not lie to him.
"If you go back to Shangzun City with me, the Ji family will treat you as legitimate descendants of the family, and will reward you with rare treasures, such as the Hebi Suizhu." Ji Yao's tone was calm but contained unquestionable strength.
No one doubted the truth of his words.
Ming Ruo Daojun raised his eyebrows.
He did not refute Ji Yao's words, but looked at Sui Sui and Jiang Mingyan and said: "What I said five years ago still counts today."
"Compared to five years ago, you have become more clear about your own path." He looked at Jiang Mingyan, his eyes filled with some regret, but more of it was unadulterated admiration: "You no longer need a 'master' to guide you to enlightenment and understanding."
"But Suisui is still young, he needs it, doesn't he?"
"Even if it weren't for me, Qingmiao Sect still has many cultivators—of course, Suisui will always be my disciple." At this point, Mingruo Daojun raised the corner of his lips: "Now he is my only disciple."
If Jiang Mingyan doesn't bow anymore, isn't Suisui the only one?
Although it was his own unilateral recognition, Ming Ruo Daojun was not at all embarrassed and said quite confidently: "All my treasures are Sui Sui."
"So, who are you going to choose?"
In an instant, the eyes of the four venerables above the Spirit Sea were all focused on Jiang Mingyan.
Jiang Mingyan stood still, his brows and eyes cold, and said calmly: "I only listen to Sui Sui."
The next moment, those eyes shifted to the little child snuggling next to his brother.
The little guy's small gray robe was almost identical to his brother's robe, except for the size.
At this time, the little guy was protected by his brother, and the intertwined corners of their clothes were the same color, as if they had merged into one.
Under the wings of the fierce gray eagle, the little fur ball faced four famous venerables with its head held high and chest puffed out, its soft fur revealing an adorable reserve.
"Think about it every year..."
