Chapter 96: Collect the Bone Bell on your behalf. There is something wrong with this child of destiny! ...
But I seem to have heard this somewhere.
Didn’t Ximen Huairen also say this?
Xie Tingyu frowned slightly, hearing that after Ximen Huairen finished the Disciple Examination for the Sea, he did not even claim the reward that belonged to him, and went straight into the cave to practice in seclusion.
I don't know when I will be able to let it go.
Seeing Xie Tingyu lost in thought and not paying attention to his words, Li Jue's eyelids twitched, "Xie Tingyu! Do you dare to accept it?"
Before Xie Tingyu could say anything, Liu Wenkang sneered, "Xuan Yuntian's challenge rules seem to mean that disciples must accept the challenge and cannot escape it."
When he said this, he was openly mocking Xie Tingyu.
This caused dissatisfaction among many disciples.
However, when many eyes turned to look at Xie Tingyu, they found that Xie Tingyu was raising his hand to pull off the pendant around his neck, and placed it on Wen Zhiyu's open palm with a casual look on his face.
Wen Zhiyu had an extremely gentle smile on his face, without any aloofness or pretense.
He was confused at first, and tried to suppress his nervousness, but she just said, "Help me get it."
Wen Zhiyu didn't know what she wanted to do, but the bone bell that belonged to him was pressed against her collarbone. When she put the bone bell in his hand, the almost imperceptible warmth made his heart tremble suddenly.
His heart felt numb and tingling, as if he was being bitten by thousands of ants. It wasn't fatal, but the pain made him reluctant to get rid of it.
His cheeks were suddenly flushed with blush. He turned his head to the side, and the strands of hair in front of his forehead fell slightly, covering his bright blush.
"good."
Xie Tingyu seemed to have finally noticed Li Jue's collapse. She turned around and asked, "What do you want to compete with?"
After not seeing each other for a long time, Li Jue's cultivation level has already approached that of Su Yuan Xing. This speed of cultivation is even faster than when she had the assistance of ghost power.
The system has not appeared for a long time, and the novel "Xiantu" seems to not exist at all. Almost everyone in this world does not follow the original plan.
She once wondered, could it be that the time travel was just her imagination?
The Ghost Lord used the treasure of the Ghost Mansion to plot against her this time, and Xie Tingyu was even more confused.
Li Jue has a secret, which gives him the powerful support that a child of destiny should have. This seems very normal to Xie Tingyu.
Just in time, Li Jue came to visit her again, so she decided to use him to test what was so unique about this world.
How could there be so many doubts?
Xie Tingyu glanced at the bone bell placed in Wen Zhiyu's palm. Wen Zhiyu's fingers were slightly curled up, and his slender fingers covered the bone bell, so that only a faint hint of bone white could be seen.
The whiteness of the bones contrasted with his fingers, making them look even whiter and less bloody.
Unexpectedly, Liu Wenkang did not take the initiative to find Wen Zhiyu for help. Of course, even if he approached Wen Zhiyu at this time, this person would not even look at him, Liu Wenkang.
Wen Zhi and full of concentration stood not too far away from Xie Tingyu.
He seemed to be staring at Xie Tingyu's clothes for a while. Her clothes were also red and white, with auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs.
Wen Zhiyu took a moment to look at the scene in his busy schedule, then he unzipped his sleeves, which showed a bamboo leaf pattern. After a short while, he let go of his hand, his eyes moving slightly.
He carefully picked up the bone bell in his palm. After giving the bone bell away, he never used his red silk headband again. Now he tied his hair with a jade crown, which was in line with the evaluation of outsiders on him, "gentle and smooth like jade".
What bone bells are made of, no one knows except warmth and happiness.
As for why it was able to withstand the attack of the monk Wang Haichao and why a thread of soul was injected into it, if nothing unexpected happened, Xie Tingyu would never know it in his lifetime.
Wen Zhiyu raised the corners of his lips and stared at Xie Tingyu closely, without moving away at all. His gaze was sticky and there was a bit of terrifying obsession in his eyes.
Zuo Zicheng was stuffing a plate of melon seeds into Cheng Yan's hands. "Help me carry it. I'll be back soon."
Hearing this, Cheng Yan frowned, his hands did not firmly grasp the chassis, and he just spoke a little angrily: "What's your problem? What problem can you have?"
Zuo Zicheng knew Cheng Yan's temper, which was like a firecracker that would explode at the slightest touch. At this moment, her eyes were filled with speechlessness and a little anger, which was due to her dissatisfaction with him for disturbing her from watching the show.
Zuo Zicheng's desire to survive made him quickly slide down to his knees and apologize, "People have three urgent needs. Although I am fasting, I still have other important things to do. Senior Sister Cheng, can you help me with this? I will be very grateful and will follow your lead from now on."
Zuo Zicheng's words shocked the heavens and the earth, attracted the attention of passers-by, and made Cheng Yan shudder when he raised his hand.
Cheng Yan snorted coldly, pulled the melon seed plate over, and without even looking at Zuo Zicheng who was holding his head and preparing to continue being beaten, "You can get out now."
Huh?
The next pain was felt slowly, but after hearing Cheng Yan's words, Zuo Zicheng opened one eye and carefully observed Cheng Yan's movements.
"I'll explain it to you when I get back. Right now, this matter can't be known to too many people." Zuo Zicheng put down his hands and smiled stupidly.
There were quite a few Xuan Yuntian disciples standing around, most of them were his classmates at the Xingyun Academy. They had long heard that Zuo Zicheng and Cheng Yan had a good relationship. Those who had never seen them in the academy before all sighed in admiration, saying that they were indeed close friends and would always inform each other wherever they went.
But what important things could Zuo Zicheng have to do?
All the disciples were unconvinced and looked at each other with smiles.
Cheng Yan stood there with a sullen face, staring at Xie Tingyu's back.
Li Jue seemed to be talking to Xie Tingyu, and the two of them did not move.
Cheng Yan felt it was boring, she lowered her eyes, and what came into view was a plate of extremely fragrant fried melon seeds. She was silent for a moment, then tentatively grabbed two.
She remained silent afterwards, holding a plate of melon seeds in the crowd and cracking them, making a "crunch, crunch" sound.
The disciples who were originally staring at the center of the martial arts arena turned around and paid some attention to her. Some of the more shameless ones even came up to her and asked, "Can I ask Senior Sister Cheng for some melon seeds?", regardless of Cheng Yan's famous temper.
Cheng Yan glanced at him, and just as the disciple was about to retreat, Cheng Yan handed the tray over to him, "One."
Before the disciple could react, a hand suddenly reached out from beside him, and with a very polite "thank you", grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the tray in front of him and left safely.
Seeing this, Cheng Yan also withdrew his hand. The shameless disciple who spoke turned around and saw the young man holding a pot of purple bamboo, clacking melon seeds in his pocket. He noticed his gaze and grabbed a handful of spirit stones from his sleeves, "Sorry."
There were probably dozens of spirit stones in that handful, and there was no way the melon seeds could be sold at such a high price. The disciple took the spirit stones without hesitation and said thank you.
Cheng Yan knew that the Purple Bamboo boy was grabbing melon seeds from her tray, but she ignored it. However, she didn't know if it was an illusion at first, but the Purple Bamboo boy seemed to be approaching her quietly.
The fragrance of green bamboo wafted from the side. Unconsciously, the young man with purple bamboo had moved to her side. Cheng Yan frowned, and she glared at him, "What?"
"You are Senior Sister Cheng Yan, right?"
The purple bamboo boy had a blank expression on his face, and the fresh fragrance of green bamboo from his body filled Cheng Yan's nostrils. He looked like an extremely serious disciple, self-disciplined and respectful.
But when Cheng Yan took a close look at the withering purple bamboo in his arms, his mouth suddenly twitched, "Are you the chief disciple of Master Qiu Zhu, the master of Yaoling Peak?"
The other person's eyes lit up, but his expression remained as calm as a lake, without any ripples.
Cheng Yan confirmed his guess, "Did you do something to your face?"
"You can see this? That's amazing." The purple bamboo boy exclaimed with a paralyzed face, looking particularly weird and awkward.
"But it wasn't me who did it. My master asked me to learn the temperament of purple bamboo. He often used bamboo to teach me that a gentleman should have good conduct and taught me to become a gentleman like Uncle Wen. But he thought my smile was too ugly, so he cast a stasis spell on my face in anger."
"Oh, it is still tied to this purple bamboo. It is said that when the purple bamboo grows up, my spell will be broken."
grow up?
Cheng Yan looked at the purple bamboo that was about to wither in the arms of the purple bamboo boy and fell into a brief silence.
She suddenly didn't know what to say, and couldn't utter a single word that she had used to criticize Zuo Zicheng in the past.
Are you sure this spell can be broken naturally? Zizhu seems to be dying.
Cheng Yan knew Xu Yuan's name. This person was raised by Qiu Zhu since he was a child, just like Qiu Zhu's biological child. However, he heard that he loved to laugh, but his laugh was very strange. Qiu Zhu usually didn't let him laugh outside.
Cheng Yan had only heard Zuo Zicheng mention it, but Zuo Zicheng's thoughts jumped around and he would not dwell on the same topic for too long, so she did not hear the rest.
Unexpectedly, I got to know the person today by chance over a plate of melon seeds.
"My master also said that Shi Yun's disciple Cheng Yan has a straightforward personality and is a man of character, so he asked me to get in touch with you more." Xu Yuan stopped eating melon seeds and sighed, "But I really don't know how to make friends."
Cheng Yan raised his eyes, handed the tray over again, motioning him to grab it, and glanced at Xu Yuan's face. It must be said that the faint sense of death revealed in this expressionless face is really unique.
I couldn't imagine what he would look like when he laughed, and Qiu Zhu had to personally stop him from laughing.
"Thank you, you are indeed a person of temperament."
Cheng Yan: "...Master Qiuzhu, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about me? I'm..."
Can it be classified as a person of temperament?
She just disliked all stupid people equally, especially people like Zuo Zicheng who talked too much and liked to act stupidly.
But he kept pestering her all day long.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yan suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know about Xuan Yuntian's recent abnormality?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan froze when he heard this. Even the lower half of his face, which was restrained by the stasis spell, could not hide his surprise. "You noticed it too?"
The two of them looked around and set up a barrier outside to block out the sound so that others would not hear what they were discussing.
"Let's not talk about the fact that the Sect Master is always out. Just take the Sect Master of the Zhuxie Hall, Ge Teng, for example. He hasn't taken action personally for many years, but he actually captured a lecturer in the sect recently. He even went out with the Sect Master yesterday. I wonder what he is planning."
When Cheng Yan met Xu Yuan for the first time, he didn't dare to open up to him.
She was mostly listening to Xu Yuan talking about what he had seen and heard in the past few days. At this moment, Xu Yuan's lower face could not move, so he could not describe it vividly.
But Cheng Yan could hear his excitement.
Xuan Yuntian really seemed to have something big happen.
The deputy palace master of Beimingyun Palace led several disciples to suddenly challenge, as if testing something.
I don't know what conspiracy is behind this.
Cheng Yan was sorting out his thoughts when he suddenly heard a loud noise.
She was so startled that the tray in her hands almost slipped.
After she was squeezed by other disciples around her, she turned her head and followed the crowd.
Xu Yuan stopped talking, and countless eyes focused on one place. A huge hole appeared on the sword mountain in the distance.
Around the hole, nasty cracks spread out like a spider web, trapping the prey in the net.
When the sword wind blew violently, the ashes were scattered.
The hole on the sword mountain became clearer and clearer, revealing a bloody and dilapidated figure in the hole, who seemed about to be blown away by the wind.
Cheng Yan was stunned, and Xu Yuan was also stunned.
"That should be the challenger from before?"
"Is it?"
"How did you get it up there?"
"Maybe... he was just sleepy and was looking for a place to sleep." Unlike the voices of discussion, Xie Tingyu frowned. There was no trace of victory on his face, but more doubt.
How come the Destiny Child failed before he even had a chance to shout out his classic slogan?
She won't be cursed by God, right?
