Start with the people around him
After Bei Shaozhi returned, he was exhausted and was about to go into the house to rest, but he found that Bai Linchuan had just returned from the mountain.
"Big Brother," he said casually, "Why are you still practicing in the mountains so late?"
Bai Linchuan walked to his door and said, "Yeah."
Bei Shaozhi propped up the door with his hand, "Um... the abyss has been repaired, Mo Xue is fine."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." He said and turned to leave.
Bei Shaozhi thought of the divine sword hanging on Mo Xue's waist, "Hasn't the divine sword been taken back yet?"
Bai Linchuan's body stiffened, "Failed."
"What are you going to do next?" Bei Shaozhi asked curiously.
"I don't know." Bai Linchuan shook his head.
"Not taking it anymore?"
"...Yeah." He hesitated for a while, nodded slowly, and turned back to his room.
For some reason, Bei Shaozhi always felt that Bai Linchuan's mouth corners were drooping, and his back was not as straight as before.
The next day, in the study hall.
Wei Si and Mo Xue arrived a little late, and there were only one or two seats left at the front. Bai Linchuan was sitting at the very front, with a vacuum area around him.
Mo Xue lifted his foot and walked forward to sit on his right. Wei Si hesitated for a while and sat on his left.
There was a constant noise in the hall, with people chatting about their last moments before the chief repairman arrived.
Mo Xue suddenly turned around and said, "Big Brother, have you seen the book I sent you?"
He spoke in a voice neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone in the hall to hear, and countless pairs of vague glances drifted over.
Mo Xue then smiled and said, "By the way, I accidentally picked this up when I went to deliver a book to you. I was worried that someone who had entered your house had left it there."
He pushed a green hair bow onto Bai Linchuan's desk.
Someone at the back of the study hall quickly stood up and took a look. Seeing that it was a woman's accessory, everyone was shocked. How could such a thing be in the room of the eldest brother who was so dull and almost without any emotions?
Bai Linchuan looked at Mo Xue's smile. His smile was as beautiful as the spring sunshine, bright and warm. But only when you looked carefully and closely could you discover the darkness in his eyes. His bad temper was revealed through these bright eyes.
Bai Linchuan reached out and picked up the green hair knot, feeling extremely unhappy. He thought that Mo Baibai's emotions were fermenting secretly in it, the anger and anger of being thrown away, a little bit of pity, and the last trace of attachment left in his mouth.
He couldn't swallow the anger, and yet the other party kept on provoking him endlessly. If it was just a joke, he should fight to the end and let him know the consequences of his misconduct.
He lowered his head and smiled faintly, as if declaring war, then looked up at Mo Xue and said, "It belongs to my junior sister, not an outsider."
Now it was Mo Xue's turn to be shocked. He raised his brows and said, "Junior Sister?"
Bai Linchuan said, "When I was young, my mother and I had a very close personal relationship with the sister next door, and we often visited each other."
Mo Xue let out a long "Oh" and turned away. After a moment, he moved back and asked nonchalantly, "Junior Sister, are you also a disciple of Lingzhong Mountain?"
"Not really. He was practicing at home before, and the elders deliberately asked him to come to the mountains to practice for a period of time." Bai Linchuan replied calmly.
It is easy to be discovered if you tell all lies, and you will have to make up one lie after another to cover up the panic in the future. It is better to tell a mixture of truth and lies. When he became an adult, his parents sent him to the mountains to meditate for a period of time, and later he was accepted as a disciple by Master Ding Haocang.
"Her parents are so confident in sending her to the mountain?" Wei Si asked curiously, tilting his head. Generally, cultivators all have their own family's way of cultivation and will not be sent out to gain experience too early.
Bai Linchuan glanced at him, seemingly surprised that he actually knew all this, and explained, "My family wants him to go out and gain some experience. Besides, we were close friends when we were young."
"Oh, childhood sweethearts." Mo Xie said with a long tail tone.
Bai Linchuan lowered his head, stroking the long end of the black hair bow with his thumb, and his eyes showed some tenderness of melting winter snow.
The bell rang crisply, and the master walked in with slow steps. During this class, Mo Xu felt as if bugs were crawling on his body, and he felt uncomfortable all over. But he had to sit under the master's nose. He endured the itching and waited until the class was over. Wei Si suggested going to Xuanzhu Hall to check out the new tasks, and Mo Xu went with him.
On the way, he met Ji Chong and went together.
Ji Chong looked at Wei Si, his face expressionless and dull, and he turned to look at Mo Xue and said, "Why do you seem to be in low spirits?"
Mo Xue glanced at him, thinking hard about what to do next.
Ji Chong muttered to himself, not feeling awkward about no one talking to him, and said, "I heard that Senior Brother has made a great contribution this time."
"What do you mean?" Mo Xie asked.
Ji Chong smiled at him.
Mo Xue gave him two spirit stones and said, "Speak in one breath."
Ji Chong then continued, "There's a very difficult task on the task list: capturing a creepy flower demon. This task has been on the list for half a year. Not long ago, Senior Brother took down the creepy flower demon with just one move."
"Creepy flower demon?" Mo Xue was puzzled.
Ji Chong wanted to get some more spirit stones, but Wei Si said, "This monster specializes in sucking the essence of women, and its whereabouts are difficult to predict."
Ji Chong turned around and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much."
Wei Si nodded at him politely.
After the three of them entered the Xuanzhu Hall, a woman in a white gauze and green skirt stood in front of the jade wall. She wore a veil on her head and a circle of white gauze under her hat. The gauze reached her waist and back. Her long black hair reached below her waist, and two small braids and the end of the black hair could be vaguely seen on both sides.
The light gauze and black hair float in the wind, as light as a butterfly.
Just his back, cold and elegant, countless people looked at him, but no one dared to step forward.
Mo Xue's eyes lit up, and he went straight to meet her, "Is it Junior Sister?"
He turned his head, but his face could not be seen clearly. Only the outline of his facial features and eyebrows could be vaguely seen under the white veil. It looked mysterious and hazy. He said "hmm" lightly.
Mo Xie said, "My name is Mo Xie, and Bai Linchuan and I are..." He paused, then continued, "good friends."
The junior sister paused slightly and did not respond.
Wei Si and Ji Chong glanced at him, and also stepped forward to introduce him as friends. If Mo Xue could be Bai Linchuan's friend, how could they not be counted as well.
The little junior sister's voice, as cold as jade, came from under the veil: "My name is Luo Bing."
Mo Xue took a step forward and asked, "Junior sister, what task are you looking at?"
"Brother, let me take a look first." Bai Linchuan said.
Ji Chong had to look up at him slightly and couldn't help but say, "Junior sister, you are really tall."
Even when Lian Moxie stood next to him, he was half a head shorter than him.
The junior sister didn't think anything was wrong. "I just took after my father and mother." He turned to look at Ji Chong, "Why can't women be taller than men?"
Ji Chong quickly denied: "No, no."
Unexpectedly, this junior sister looked cold and had a bad temper, so he found an excuse to slip away.
Mo Xue noticed the slightly emerging black hair knot and said casually: "I didn't expect this thing to belong to my junior sister."
The younger sister said, "I lost it a few days ago, and my senior brother helped me find it, but..."
"I only found one. Unfortunately, I picked up the other one, but I didn't wear it on my body. I will return it to my junior sister at this time tomorrow in Xuanzhu Hall." Mo Xie said with a smile.
When he smiles, it's hard not to like him.
The junior sister said slowly, "Thank you for your help."
"By the way, where is the eldest brother?" Mo Xue asked, looking at the Green Hair Knot. This thing was given to him by Mo Xue when they were in class. Logically speaking, he should be here after they leave the class together.
The junior sister said, "He went back first."
Mo Xue noticed that he was not in a good mood, so he stopped disturbing him and said, "See you at this time tomorrow."
"good."
In the evening, Wei Si came back from fetching water and saw Mo Xue reading a book. After coming out of the abyss, Mo Xue told him everything that happened. He could no longer dissuade Mo Xue from his revenge.
He asked, "Do you want to do it for nothing?"
Mo Xue threw the book away: "Why think about it? We're all dead anyway."
Wei Si paused, then said firmly, "You have a new plan."
Mo Xue kept it a secret: "I'm not sure yet." He changed the subject: "But, he will definitely not escape from my grasp this time."
He clenched his fists, filled with determination and determination, "This time, I'm going to start with everyone around him one by one."
The junior sister went straight back to Bai Linchuan's residence and walked in without knocking. After closing the door, he took off the veil, revealing a pair of frosty eyes under the white gauze.
Bai Linchuan took off the butterfly hair knot, changed back into his original cool white clothes, and went to meet Ding Haocang.
"Master." Bai Linchuan said respectfully.
In the hall, Ding Haocang sat on a chair, "Come on, you did a good job catching the monster this time." He stood up and looked at Bai Linchuan. He nodded humbly without a trace of complacency or pride.
Ding Haocang nodded with satisfaction. "But it's often disadvantageous to eliminate demons without a sword. Have you ever thought about getting a sword?"
Bai Linchuan hesitated, "Master, I..."
Elder Ding Haocang had fine lines at the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were filled with the indifference and tolerance of fallen leaves stepping on autumn water. He said, "Since that's the case, then go..."
Bai Linchuan was startled, and looked up at Ding Haocang with a frown, full of doubts. People who practice cultivation should be indifferent to fame and fortune and follow the right path to eliminate demons, but he did not expect that his master would be willing to let him fight for profit.
Ding Haocang slowly advised, "You have a demon in your heart. No matter how hard you practice, it will be useless. On the contrary, you may even go astray. It is better to enter the world openly and refine this obsession."
Bai Linchuan bowed respectfully and replied, "Disciple will follow Master's instructions."
The next day, Bai Linchuan left after finishing his studies and disappeared for the entire day. Mo Xue and Wei Si waited for Luo Bing outside the Xuanzhu Hall.
"I was late on the way." Bai Linchuan walked over wearing a veil.
"It's okay, beauty is always worth waiting for." Mo Xue jumped down from the stairs, raised his hand and handed over the black hair bow, his eyebrows curved and his cheeks dimpled.
"What if I'm not a beauty?" Bai Linchuan suddenly said.
Mo Ke paused, and Bai Linchuan continued, "I injured my face when I was young, so I wear a veil when I show myself to others."
"That's even more worth it." Mo Xue's eyes lit up, his face full of sincerity, not seeming fake.
Bai Linchuan smiled gently, but under the invisible veil, his eyes were like a layer of ice, and underneath was an unfathomable glacier. The slight melting of spring was just an illusion, a trap created by an animal that had fallen into it while hunting.
"I'll put it on for you." Mo Xue said as he stretched out his hand.
Bai Linchuan immediately took a step back and said, "No need, I can do it myself." He took the hair knot and put it on himself with his back turned.
"Okay." Mo Xue withdrew his hand without feeling embarrassed. He turned around and walked towards the Xuanzhu Hall together.
Bai Linchuan walked in front, Wei Si squeezed Mo Ce and asked in a low voice, "What on earth are you going to do!" The peacock spread its feathers and flew into the sky.
Mo Xue patted his sleeves lightly, smiled mysteriously, and walked up to Bai Linchuan and said, "Junior Sister, have you chosen the mission you like?"
Bai Linchuan looked at the task jade slip indifferently. At the top next to it, there was a task ranking. Bai Linchuan's name was at the top, so famous that no one could shake it.
He retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Not yet."
Mo Xue suggested, "Why don't the three of us travel together? We won't be alone on the road. Junior Sister, you might not be familiar with these tasks yet."
"……Um."
Wei Si whispered, "You speak as if we already know these tasks."
Mo Xie smiled and pushed him to the task wall, saying, "Pick one quickly."
Wei Si glanced at Mo Xue helplessly, and after choosing for a long time, he finally chose a task that was not very difficult but not easy either.
He turned his head and saw Mo Xue approaching Luo Bing attentively, smiling and talking about something, while Luo Bing's back was indifferent and unmoved. It was not so easy to win the heart of this beauty.
"Okay," he said.
Mo Xue took a look and saw that it was a water monster from the Shuzhong area. "Shuzhong is great. I heard there are a lot of delicious foods there."
Wei Si glanced at him, took the jade slip, and went to register. Bai Linchuan stood beside him.
"Oh, I forgot that you are not a disciple from the mountain. Don't worry, I will definitely give you half of the reward when the time comes." Mo Xue said.
Before leaving, the three of them agreed to set off tomorrow.
