General Mu: “…”
Wow, has my silly son learned to take advantage of loopholes?
Is this still his son?
Could it be that someone has taken over his body...
Mu Fenqing smiled ingratiatingly, "Dad, for the sake of that bear, please let me down."
"Well, I've raised you for over a decade, and now I'm eating the little bit of meat you brought back, and you still think you've done a great deed, right?" General Mu's anger flared up again. "I'm going to teach you a lesson today. Let's see if you dare to swear carelessly again!"
"ah!!"
Mu Fenqing screamed, "I won't dare to do that again!"
…
After the astrologers left the Mu family, someone sighed, "It's been so many days, and we still haven't found the ferocious beast. How shameful..."
"I think the beast must have been taken away by a passing expert. This kind of expert who can block the perception of the heavens should not be from the Da Rui Kingdom. He may have taken the beast away..."
"Since I can't find it, I can only give up."
"No! I once read a book that said a thousand years ago, in a small country, a ferocious beast was born. It happened to be captured by a demon cultivator. The demon cultivator quietly nurtured the beast for five hundred years, and then brought it out into the world, slaughtering the entire country!"
"The example you cited is ultimately a minority..."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst!"
At this moment, someone suddenly asked, "Do you think that Mr. Mu San is telling the truth?"
"Heh," the gray-robed stargazer sneered, "regardless of whether it's true or not, he's already sworn an oath in front of us. Even if we suspect him, we can't investigate further... At least not openly. As for secretly, we can still take action..."
Hearing this, the eyelids of several people nearby twitched, and they quietly distanced themselves from the gray-robed stargazer.
——Everyone is not a fool, and they know that Mu Fenqing must be hiding something. Otherwise, why did Mu Fenqing's face change when he heard the word "Lantern Village" at the beginning?
But no one intended to delve into it. Maybe Mu Fenqing went to date his sweetheart, or to hide gold?
No matter what secrets Mu Fenqing has, it doesn't matter, because Mu Fenqing said in his oath that he "has never seen a ferocious beast" and "has never seen any suspicious person". After being witnessed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he did not lie, and that is enough. The astronomers are looking for ferocious beasts. Since the other party has nothing to do with the ferocious beasts, there is no need to continue investigating. However, this gray-clothed astronomer threatened to continue investigating Mu Fenqing, which is a bit too much.
However, the gray-robed stargazer was doomed to be disappointed, because for a long time to come, General Mu would not allow his third son to go out. Even if the gray-robed stargazer was very brave, he would not dare to sneak into the general's mansion. He could only continue to wait in the dark, cursing, "I don't believe you can stay here forever!"
…
Lan Zhi goes fishing in the morning and cultivates flying fish Gu in the afternoon. Her life is quite fulfilling.
While she was fishing, Shangguan Jianxing sat beside her and stared at her.
At first Lan Zhi felt awkward, but after a while she got used to it, but she still felt speechless.
"There are flowers on my face? What's so good about that?"
"You don't understand. I'm doing this for cultivation."
"..." These words left Lan Zhi speechless. Looking at her a few more times wouldn't hurt her, and Shangguan Jianxing had paid the spirit stones. Lan Zhi just pretended he didn't exist and let him look at her however he wanted.
However, a few days later, when Lan Zhi was fishing, a beautiful woman came with a bucket and a fishing rod, sat not far from Lan Zhi, and also started fishing.
The woman was wearing a black brocade long skirt embroidered with gold clouds. She had a slim figure and her every move was filled with an indescribable charm. This charm not only attracted men, but even women would marvel at her beauty. She was not concentrating on fishing. She casually made a gesture and let the fishing rod float automatically beside her. She lazily supported her cheek with one hand and looked at Lan Zhi nonchalantly.
Lan Zhi caught a fish and put it in a bucket beside her. Noticing her gaze, she tilted her head slightly, and their eyes met.
The woman in the black dress raised the corners of her lips in a faint smile.
In a trance, Lan Zhi seemed to see the night-blooming cereus blooming under the moon. The fleeting beauty and stunning glimpse were deeply imprinted in her mind and could never be forgotten.
In the eyes of the woman in the black dress, Lan Zhi was wearing green clothes and had black hair. Her eyes and eyebrows had a cold expression, and her temperament was calm and lonely. She was like an orchid growing on a cliff in a high mountain, quiet, elegant, and out of reach.
Lan Zhi withdrew her gaze and continued fishing.
But in my heart, I was guessing the identity of the woman in the black dress.
Just then, Lan Zhi felt some movement on the right. She turned around and saw that the woman in the black dress was sitting next to her.
"Hello, I'm Ye Jingtan."
Night Shock Tan...
Lan Zhi couldn't remember any powerful family in the capital with the surname "Ye". She nodded politely and said, "My name is Lan Zhi."
"The girl's name is really nice." Ye Jingtan praised.
Lan Zhi thought, your name is also very nice, but she is always quiet in front of strangers. She sensed that Ye Jingtan's strength was unfathomable, so she politely asked, "I wonder what can I do for you, Senior?"
"Senior? Do I look old?" Ye Jingtan touched his face.
"No, Senior is a beautiful lady, not old at all."
Ye Jingtan asked, "Then why do you call me senior?"
"Because of his profound cultivation."
"Huh?" There was a hint of surprise in Ye Jingtan's eyes. She had clearly restrained her breath. How did Lan Zhi know that she had a high level of cultivation?
Ye Jingtan coughed and said, "Young lady, you have a good eye. I happened to pass by here and found that you are very talented. I wanted to take you as my disciple. I wonder if you would be willing to be my disciple?"
Lan Zhi: “…”
She has inherited the Lanshen Flower and does not want to become a disciple.
However, this was the first time Lan Zhi met Ye Jingtan today and she didn't know Ye Jingtan's character, so she didn't dare to refuse easily.
——Some strong people are proud and domineering. If they are rejected, they will raise their hands and slap the person to death if they are in a bad mood.
Lan Zhi carefully considered her words, trying to refuse as tactfully as possible, "Senior, I'm already at the Qing Yuan realm, and I can't change my technique..."
Ye Jingtan said, "It's okay. I won't interfere with your cultivation. I just want to teach you some magical skills... Have you learned any magical skills?"
Lan Zhi shook her head: "No."
Ye Jingtan said, "That's great, I can teach you."
Shangguan Jianxing was displeased when he heard this. He looked at Ye Jingtan and said, "Senior, I also have magical powers and spells. I can teach her, and she doesn't need to become my disciple, so I won't bother you."
The Shangguan family has a profound heritage. Although the family's core skills and magical powers cannot be passed on to outsiders, many of the magical powers have been snatched from other sects and families, and they don't feel bad about passing them on to outsiders.
As a direct descendant of the family, Shangguan Jianxing was able to enter and exit the family library freely. He had read countless books and witnessed many magical powers.
