Xuanmen.
Lingxi sat cross-legged, tapping her knees lightly with her fingertips.
She looked at Chu Xiaoxuan in front of her with helplessness.
Chu Xiaoxuan held a lollipop in her mouth, her cheeks bulging, like a cute little hamster.
"Master, are you looking for me?" Chu Xiaoxuan asked vaguely.
Lingxi sighed and took the candy out of her apprentice's mouth:
"I've told you so many times, eat less when you're practicing."
Chu Xiaoxuan nodded, but her eyes were still fixed on the lollipop that was put away.
Seeing this, Lingxi shook her head helplessly and returned the candy to her.
"Since you think Jiang Muyao is a good person, just be her friend."
Lingxi's voice was cold and helpless.
"I don't expect you to learn anything from her, but just don't make any enemies."
When Jiang Muyao was mentioned, Chu Xiaoxuan's eyes lit up instantly.
She grabbed Lingxi's sleeve:
"Master! Sister Jiang is really amazing! If it weren't for her last time, I might have..."
"I know."
Lingxi interrupted her and gently touched her head with her fingers.
"After all, they saved your life."
"Master, let me tell you, Sister Jiang is so handsome when she draws talismans. With a flick of her finger, golden light follows her fingertips. It's even more beautiful than the sunrise on our mountain!"
Lingxi looked at her disciple and felt both amused and angry.
This child has been like this since he was young. If he likes someone, he would like to give his heart to them.
Forget it, forget it, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
She reached out and smoothed Chu Xiaoxuan's hair: "It seems that you really regard her as your idol."
She nodded quickly and responded vaguely:
"Of course, I really consider her my idol! I'm just looking forward to what happened last time."
"Don't let her have a bad impression of me."
As she spoke, she muttered to herself:
"But that shouldn't be the case. She even gave me an amulet."
When she heard Chu Xiaoxuan mention the talisman drawn by Jiang Muyao, she suddenly became interested.
Although Sheng Tingzhu had previously reported to her that Jiang Muyao was quite talented in talismans, she had never seen it with her own eyes and had no idea of her true strength.
Thinking of this, Lingxi said to Chu Xiaoxuan:
"Xiaoxuan, show me the talisman that your sister Jiang gave you."
When Chu Xiaoxuan heard this, she carefully took out the talisman drawn by Jiang Muyao from her bag.
Lingxi took the talisman, and the moment her fingertips touched it, she was shocked by a weak electric current.
"Master?" Chu Xiaoxuan tilted her head and looked at her.
Lingxi didn't answer and looked at the talisman paper in her hand.
The talisman shimmered with a faint golden light, and every stroke and every line seemed alive.
Her fingertips trembled slightly, she had never seen such a spell.
The lines seem chaotic, but they contain some kind of ultimate truth.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Xiaoxuan came over and stared at Lingxi's expression curiously.
"Sister Jiang said this is for safety and asked me to carry it with me."
Lingxi took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress the shock in her heart.
She asked Chu Xiaoxuan to prepare some cinnabar and talisman paper, as she wanted to give it a try.
The first one went very smoothly.
The second stroke started to become difficult.
When the third stroke began to turn, her fingers froze and she couldn't continue.
impossible!
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Lingxi's forehead.
Her attainments in Xuanmen talismans are among the best. Even the talismans drawn by the head master himself, she can imitate them about 70% of the time.
But the talisman in front of her...she couldn't even follow the trajectory of the talisman.
She tried again.
This time it was worse. Before she even reached the third stroke, she felt a dull pain in her chest during the second stroke.
A fishy-sweet taste surged up her throat, but she swallowed it back.
“Master!”
Chu Xiaoxuan finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly held Lingxi's arm.
"Master, are you okay?"
Lingxi waved her hand and handed the talisman back to Chu Xiaoxuan. Her expression had returned to calm.
"Keep this talisman safe and don't leave it."
"Master, do you also think Sister Jiang is amazing?"
Chu Xiaoxuan couldn't help but ask.
Lingxi did not answer immediately, but pondered for a long time before she said softly:
"Yes! It's amazing... beyond my imagination!"
The words were spoken softly, but Chu Xiaoxuan still heard them clearly.
*
Late at night, in the room of the headmaster Wenhe.
Wen He wore his usual gentle smile, looked at Ling Xi opposite him, and spoke softly:
"Third Junior Sister, what brings you here so late?"
Lingxi looked at the head brother who was brewing tea under the lamp. His round face and the smile lines at the corners of his eyes made him look easy to get along with.
But, is he really easy to get along with?
Lingxi bowed to Wenhe and sat down.
Wenhe pushed a cup of tea over and said, "Try it, it's freshly picked Yunwu tea."
Lingxi took it, but didn't rush to drink it.
She stared at her reflection in the teacup, choosing her words.
"Today, Junior Sister, I checked the talisman that Xiaoxuan brought back."
"Oh?" Wen He raised his eyebrows slightly, but his hands did not stop moving.
"Did this draw by Jiang Muyao that Tingzhu mentioned?"
Lingxi nodded, put down the teacup, took out a piece of paper and spread it on the table.
"Brother, please look."
Wenhe came closer with a smile, his eyes casually swept over, and suddenly his expression became serious.
He extended his index finger and drew along the lines, his movements becoming slower and slower.
Suddenly, his fingertips trembled and he quickly retracted them.
