"You have one too?" Ye Jingtan smiled slightly and said, "That's fine. You teach yours, I teach mine, and we won't affect each other."
"Why doesn't it have an impact? She just needs to learn from me." Shangguan Jianxing said. He felt that Ye Jingtan looked seductive and didn't look like a good person. He was afraid that Ye Jingtan would trick Lan Zhi away and sell her, so he had great hostility towards Ye Jingtan.
"Please stop talking, both of you." Lan Zhi's face was filled with gloom. On her left was Shangguan Jianxing, and on her right was Ye Jingtan. The two of them were talking across from her. Lan Zhi didn't want to start an argument, so she said, "I've temporarily hit a bottleneck in my cultivation and don't want to learn any supernatural powers..."
"Have you hit a bottleneck?" Shangguan Jianxing stroked his chin and said, "That's perfect. I'll teach you a dozen magical powers. As you learn... maybe you'll break through the bottleneck."
"More than a dozen?" Ye Jingtan seemed to be lost in thought. He asked, "Aren't you from the Great Rui Kingdom?"
"Um."
"What's your relationship with Lan Zhi?"
"I'm her cousin...brother." He originally wanted to say cousin, but considering that Lan Zhi would definitely not call him brother, Shangguan Jianxing could only say: "I was born a month later than her... Jiang Qingcheng is two months younger than her, so I am her younger brother and Jiang Qingcheng's older brother."
Ye Jingtan was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know any Jiang Qingcheng, but I think you've explained so much, there must be something fishy going on. You just said you weren't from Dari, and now you're saying you're her cousin..."
Shangguan Jianxing: “…”
He lied so seriously, but it was easily discovered!
Shangguan Jianxing was so tired that he simply kept silent.
Lan Zhi explained, "He is indeed my brother, but he was spotted by a powerful person from a foreign country and taken away since he was a child. He only came back when he grew up."
Shangguan Jianxing: "Yes, that's right."
Ye Jingtan was too lazy to figure out whether this matter was true or not. She came to see Lan Zhi because of her son. Her son had not taken any action recently, which made her secretly anxious. Then she thought again that falling in love was a matter between two young people, and it would be bad for her to interfere... However, Ye Jingtan was about to return to the demon world, so before going back, she wanted to get to know Lan Zhi.
Ye Jingtan was not going to reveal her identity. After all, her son and Lan Zhi were not together yet. She wanted to send something to Lan Zhi in her own name. Who would have thought that there was a strange young man beside Lan Zhi, and this young man kept making trouble... This made Ye Jingtan feel not very happy. She sighed and said, "I finally wanted to take in a disciple, but in the end, the disciple still refused... Forget it, I won't force it. Since we can't be master and disciple, then I will give you two magical powers..."
Ye Jingtan took out two crescent-shaped jade pendants from her sleeve. She placed them next to Lan Zhi's fish bucket and said, "After you have read them, the jade pendants will automatically shatter and be destroyed. The magical powers within them can only be learned by you and cannot be passed on to others."
After saying that, her body disappeared from the spot, along with the fishing rod and other things she had brought with her.
"Who is this person?" Shangguan Jianxing stood up, bent down, picked up the two jade pendants, and examined them over and over again. With a strange look on his face, he said, "This is Moon Shadow Jade. This type of jade pendant is a universal carrier used to record supernatural powers. As long as you make sure there are no evil powers such as curses left on the outside of the jade pendant, you can use it normally. There will definitely be no hidden tricks inside the jade pendant... It seems that Ye Jingtan really wants to take you as her apprentice. I thought she was a bad person."
Lan Zhi put away her fishing rod and said, "Keep these two jade pendants. I won't learn."
Shangguan Jianxing asked: "Why?"
"I won't accept other people's kindness for no reason." Lan Zhi carried the bucket and walked slowly on the way back.
"I don't understand. There's no trap in these two pieces of Moon Shadow Jade. Perhaps Senior Ye Jingtan really just wants to establish a good relationship with you..."
“Free is the most expensive.”
Shangguan Jianxing asked, "Why do you say that? Are you afraid she'll ask you for money later?"
Lan Zhi was silent for a long time, then said, "...You've traveled a lot, haven't you? Why are you asking me this kind of question?"
"I'm an astrologer with an extraordinary status. No matter where I go, there are many forces willing to support me..." Shangguan Jianxing said.
Lan Zhi sighed and said, "I don't know Ye Jingtan's background, nor do I know which faction she belongs to. What if the two magical powers she gave me are the core magical powers of a certain faction? Once I learn them, I will have no choice but to join that faction, or I will be hunted down..."
Shangguan Jianxing suddenly realized: "Yes, if an outsider learns my family's skills, they will be hunted down by the family's Law Enforcement Hall, and they will fight to the ends of the earth... Lanzhi, you are so thoughtful and cautious. This is something I should learn from."
Lan Zhi stopped and looked at him, took the jade pendant from his hand, and said, "Aren't you going to be my brother? Why are you calling me by my name?"
Shangguan Jianxing lowered his voice and said, "That's to deceive outsiders. You are younger than me, how can I call you sister?"
"Um."
"What do you mean by 'hmm'? I have a feeling that you are a person with a story, but you are younger than me, what story can you have?" Shangguan Jianxing turned his head to look at her, always feeling that she had a kind of calmness that was not suitable for her age.
Lan Zhi said: "I am naturally suspicious and don't trust others easily."
"This is actually quite good. If you trust others too much, you'll be easily deceived."
The two figures gradually walked away.
Ye Jingtan had already left, but halfway there he wanted to look back to see Lan Zhi's reaction, so he returned. Unexpectedly, he heard such words and was speechless. Is the little girl so wary?
Although being a little more cautious isn't a bad thing, Ye Jingtan really only meant well. Lan Zhi refused to accept it, and Ye Jingtan had no choice but to shake her head and mutter to herself, "I'll come see Lan Zhi again in a few months..."
She then grumbled softly, "My son's movements are too slow, not at all positive. At this rate, when will the two of them achieve success?"
…
Jun Weihe doesn't know that his biological mother has gone to see Lan Zhi. He has been pestered by Yuan Zhan recently.
Yuan Zhan ordered his men to carry more than a dozen jars of wine to Prince Jing's mansion, bowed and said, "Prince Jing, I have decided to be a gentleman. I am ready to let go and no longer pursue Miss Lan Zhi."
"You want to be a gentleman?"
"Yes," Yuan Zhan said with a serious expression. "I believe that to become a gentle gentleman, one must first seek out good teachers and good friends. Good teachers are not easy to find, and since my reputation is not good, I can only seek good friends first... I think you are that good friend."
Jun Weihe: ???
Does he look like a kind and decent person? He has demonic blood flowing in his veins...
Some time ago, he even attacked Prince Rui...
This kind of behavior has nothing to do with the word "good friend"...
