Chapter 116: Smiling and Leisurely, Guests Arrive
Bai Wuchang stood with his hands behind his back, and Xinyi knelt on one knee behind him without saying a word. After a long time, the sound of a folding fan opening and closing was heard.
"Do you think you can act recklessly just because you've connected with the Yuanqing Sect? Don't forget, your mother is still in my hands!"
Upon hearing this, Xinyi clasped her fists and said that she didn't dare.
"Hmph!" Although Bai Wuchang hummed lightly, it made Xinyi feel cold in her heart.
"I don't think you dare!" He said, waving his folding fan lightly, and in a flash he came in front of Xinyi. He pinched his chin and lifted his head: "If you dare to have any second thoughts, I don't mind letting you see your mother's broken pieces." He let go of Xinyi with a flick of his hand.
Xinyi knelt hastily, "I dare not have any second thoughts and will obey the envoy's orders!"
"Hmph! I hope so!" Bai Wuchang said, waving his folding fan. "Last time you said that girl couldn't make the elixir. Now do you know why?"
This... Lingxiang never told him how to respond, and he didn't expect Bai Wuchang to call him for questioning so soon.
"I am incompetent, and this matter has not yet been fully investigated. Please allow me some time, Your Excellency. I will do my best."
Let's deal with it this way for now, and then make plans after I go back and discuss it with Lingxiang.
"Then I'll give you some time. If you still can't find it next time, don't blame me!" Bai Wuchang said, waving his sleeves, signaling Xinyi to retreat, but Xinyi knelt there and did not leave.
"Is there anything else you want to report?" Seeing him like this, Bai Wuchang turned his back and asked in a deep voice.
"I have one thing I'm not sure about. I don't know what the envoy's plan is, and why he wants to attack Yuanqing's outer disciples?"
"Hmm?" Bai Wuchang turned half his face to look at Xinyi, his eyes full of sternness. "Why, do I need you to interfere in my actions now?"
Xinyi hurriedly replied that she did not dare to overstep the line, said goodbye, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
At this moment, a man walked out from Bai Wuchang's side.
"Right Envoy Bai, I'm afraid this man has already developed ulterior motives. If we still use him, I'm afraid..."
Bai Wuchang seemed unconcerned, gently waving his folding fan and smiling, "General Wolf Head, don't worry. I've long seen this man's ulterior motives, but I'm keeping him for other purposes now. You'll know for sure one day."
"The Right Envoy has always been wise, so I'm not worried. But what about the outer disciples that person mentioned?"
Bai Wuchang then showed annoyance on his face: "That useless thing is really causing trouble!" But in an instant, his expression returned to normal, "It's okay, although it's not very useful, it can be used for entertainment."
…
"What?" Lingxiang was shocked. "You are my mother's disciple? Why have I never heard of you?"
Chi Yanzi laughed heartily: "I only practiced with my master for a few years, and then was sent away to practice on the roaming road. You naturally don't know."
Thinking of the words his master used when he sent him away, he was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
…
"You're grown up now, and as a son should be, you're no longer under the control of your mother. You're always following me around like this. When will you be able to stand on your own? You don't have any manliness at all! Even if I want to go out and have some fun, I have to bring a piece of shit like you along. It's really a hassle. Pack up tonight, and go to Sihai for training tomorrow!"
…
"That was before Fairy Tu Mi took over Qingwei Peak," said Taoist Qian Yuan with a smile. "Before that, she had brought Daoist Brother Chi Yanzi to Yuanqing Sect. But back then, we never imagined that such a woman would become the mistress of all of us fellow disciples in the future."
"Uh..." Lingxiang didn't know how to start for a moment. From what these two people said, it seemed that her mother was really not a quiet woman!
"So, you recognized me from the beginning?"
Chi Yanzi nodded and said, "Ever since your great master took out the life-extending elixir, I've been keeping an eye on you. Looking closely, I can see some of my master's charm in your features, and your temperament is even more similar. I wasn't entirely sure then, though, until you said you'd made it yourself. Only then did I feel certain."
"That Chi Yanzi... Senior Brother..." She still found it difficult to change her words for a moment, "How could he end up like this? Did something happen to him?"
Chi Yanzi then said seriously: "This is the purpose of my trip." Then he told him all the findings he had made in the Barbarian Continent.
Upon hearing this, Master Qianyuan was shocked: "Are you saying that the Demon Lord is no longer in the Demon Realm, but is hiding in the Barbarian Continent?"
"That's right. The war between the Barbarian Continent and the Upper Kingdom a few years ago was caused by him. And recently, the Demon Tribe seems to be making another move. It seems that they have found something." Chi Yanzi said, turning to look at Lingxiang, "Or maybe he knew about the incident with the Supreme Sect that day, so he acted like this."
"Back then, he had three demon-killing families wiped out in pursuit of his master's life-extending elixir. It's said he only managed to find two elixirs from two of them, and one was never found."
"I think it's because the last pill was never found that Junior Sister was targeted after she used the Life-Extending Pill. And these days, I think they learned that the pill was made by Junior Sister, so they have repeatedly attacked my Yuanqing?" Upon hearing this, Master Qianyuan suddenly realized, "Yes! That's it! The Demon Lord is probably after the Lingxiang!"
If it is really as Chi Yanzi said, then everything makes sense. This matter is extremely important and we should tell the head master as soon as possible.
Zhenren Qianyuan immediately summoned Shouqi and told him to take Chi Yanzi to wash up and change into Taoist robes. Then he apologized to Chi Yanzi and rushed to Wuji Palace.
Lingxiang, however, was neither hurried nor slow. After Qianyuan Zhenren left the temple, she simply told Shouqi to go and prepare first, saying that she had something to say to Chi Yanzi. Shouqi had no choice but to obey his orders and leave.
"If the Demon Lord is currently in Savage Continent, then based on the time he's been there, he must have been there for quite some time. His influence must be immense. It's not that I look down on you, Senior Brother, but how did you manage to escape unscathed from such a dangerous place all by yourself?"
Chi Yanzi stood up and turned around with a smile, then looked at Lingxiang.
"Junior sister, look carefully! How can I be considered to have escaped unscathed?" He then took out a handful of copper coins and a whisk with its long bristles broken off from his bag. "Look! My magical instruments and life-saving items have been reduced to this state. How can I be considered to have escaped unscathed?"
"But..." He sat back down, "Junior sister is indeed perceptive. I was in deep danger that day. If it weren't for that person's rescue, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to meet each other today."
That person? Who is that person?
Lingxiang was confused. After hearing what Chi Yanzi said, it seemed that she knew the person he was talking about.
Seeing her expression like this, Chi Yanzi smiled and said, "Do you still remember the robbery of the girl in Cangzhou?"
When Lingxiang heard Chi Yanzi say this, she was confused for a moment, but she understood it immediately.
"Brother, are you saying that you met that old fox there?"
Chi Yanzi burst into laughter when he heard this. If Wu Yuan heard this, he would probably complain.
"That's right. It's just that the Yuanqing Sect's mountain formation prevents us from entering the mountains. Now I think we've found your house in the city to temporarily stay."
