Chapter 124 I'm the Host
The two disciples of Taiyi Ziwei Sect sang the same tune and were almost about to swear an oath, which made Baili Shuang almost laugh out loud - it is true that like senior sisters you have like junior brothers and sisters, and the three of them all know how to adapt to the times.
The reason why Baili Shuang didn't take action to deal with Jiao Xueling was not only because she really wanted to leave an explanation to the other sects and forces who heard that Taiyi Ziwei Sect was also coming, but also because she really knew Jiao Xueling - she met her in the first week.
This Jiao Xueling could be considered her uncle in the first round. She had led a team when they went to the secret realm. Just like she protected the two disciples of Taiyi Ziwei Sect today, she had protected many disciples of various sects of Taiyi Sect, including Fang Xianyu. She was a rare good person.
Among the three sects of Taiyi Sect, Tianji Sect has never had much presence. Even its disciples are selected by the cultivators within the sect themselves, and it never recruits people on a large scale. This also makes Tianji Sect the smallest in size, with the number of members never exceeding a thousand.
The Qiankun faction is the most powerful and is respected as the best in Central China, but it is still righteous on the surface and is very particular about how things should be done. Occasionally there are evil deeds but they are just isolated cases. The elders, on the other hand, sit back and do not take action to "clean up the house" but also do not leave it alone. They have really practiced the doctrine of the mean to perfection.
The Ziwei Sect is different. It has a very bad reputation and is well-known for bullying men and women. It has done everything it should and shouldn't do. It was even involved in a scandal of deliberately creating natural disasters and then acting as a "savior" to collect merits and offerings - the reason for the scandal was that the plan failed and nothing was gained.
Although Jiao Xueling is in the Ziwei Sect, she is not a gentleman of high moral standards in the strict sense - after all, doing something like deserting the battlefield in the middle of the night and allowing her fellow disciples to be killed is certainly not a very upright character. But she does care about her fellow disciples and some of the younger disciples, otherwise she would not have protected two Taiyi Ziwei Sect disciples at the risk of damaging her golden elixir when the thunder struck just now.
In Fang Xianyu's long memory, Jiao Xueling's unintentional good deeds may account for less than one ten-thousandth of the total, but they still leave a deep impression on her.
Compared with the other people from the three sects of Taiyi Sect, she is like a general among dwarfs. At least Fang Xianyu feels that Jiao Xueling can still be saved.
After Jiao Xueling recovered a little, Baili Shuang invited her, "It's been a long night. It's rare for Daoist Jiao to come to my Taiyin Sect. How about I treat Daoist Jiao to a midnight snack?"
"In fact, my sleep and rest schedule is very regular, and this time is exactly when I go to bed..."
Jiao Xueling said this, and after seeing the shadow of a golden rope shake out from Baili Shuang's sleeve, she changed her tone without changing her expression: "But I think the moonlight is really beautiful tonight, and it would be nice to have a midnight snack!"
A breeze blew by, dispersing the clouds that were covering the moon and making the moonlight between the sky and the earth dimmer.
The junior sister of Taiyi Ziwei Sect trembled and called out in a low voice: "Master, Senior Sister..."
"This should be the busiest time for barbecue restaurants,"
Baili Shuang deliberately took the lead and flew up on the cloud. Her voice came from afar: "Let's invite the three Taoist friends to taste the barbecue in Chang'an City!"
"Don't be afraid, she can't eat the three of us!"
Jiao Xueling said this, patted her junior sister's hand soothingly, and took the two of them on the cloud to catch up.
The night in Chang'an city is particularly lively.
After a busy day, the common people and monks have become accustomed to relaxing at this time. Although the planned industrialization process of the development of the alien world has been temporarily stagnant due to the lack of mineral resources and the lack of in-depth understanding of various new mines in the alien world, and the complete power system has not yet been developed by the bigwigs of science and engineering, the night in Chang'an City is still brightly lit. After all, there are so many monks, and what can't be solved by technology can be solved by magic.
The square of Chang'an City was filled with stones carved into various shapes, which were emitting bright light, making the entire square as bright as day.
This kind of stone is called 砶石, which is mostly a companion ore of spiritual stone mines. It has low hardness and high yield. It is almost everywhere and worthless. The only special thing about it is that it can slowly absorb spiritual energy and release it. During the release process, it continues to glow, with a slow rhythm, like breathing. Therefore, 砶石 is often used by monks for lighting. Even in ordinary mortal towns, it is not rare. Rich families often buy it to inlay beads and jade, or use it to make jewelry and decorations.
These stones were bought from outside by Chang'an Sheyi through Guangchengzong. They were specially carved into various small gadgets and placed in the city as natural "street lamps". The most of them were near the square at the entrance to the city, and the effect was quite pleasing.
At this time, the area around Chang'an Square was crowded with people. Many people gathered in twos and threes, listening to a storyteller. There were also many monks gathered at tables and chairs in front of various shops to chat, and a few of them were arguing so much that their faces turned red and their necks became thick, and they almost came to blows - but a mountain civet cat wearing a black hat and a red scarf jumped onto the table to stop them.
Seeing all this, several people from the Ziwei Sect were amazed.
Lu Renya’s milk tea shop is still doing a booming business, but in order to take care of the business of ordinary people, Lu Renya also opened a branch next to the Ya Ya milk tea shop, called "Snow Duck Milk Tea Shop". The icon is a duck holding an ice cream with a crown on its head. The overall color scheme is red with white text.
There is a huge wooden board next to the Snow Duck Milk Tea Shop, on which several "popular drinks" are written in charcoal, namely lemonade at 4 cents a cup, milk tea at 6 cents a cup, and peach nectar at 10 cents a cup. At the bottom it also says "Bamboo tube cups need to be recycled, and an additional 5 cents will be charged for taking them away."
"We buy from here. They use ordinary ingredients over there. This store uses spiritual materials, so the price is much higher. Of course, for us cultivators, it's still a normal price."
Baili Shuang said this and took the lead to line up at the end of the team.
"Wow! It's the senior sister!"
"Hello, Senior Sister! You've worked hard, Senior Sister! Can you give me some favorability?"
"I can tell from the looks of it that you've never experienced a beating from Senior Sister. The more you say that, the lower your favorability will be. Our Senior Sister is famous for her tsundere attitude. If you don't believe me, just look—F*ck! How come I got a deduction too!?"
"Hehehe, Senior Sister, what do you want to drink? I'll treat you! Can you please increase my favorability a little bit?"
"Get out of the way! Senior sister! I'm a good person! I don't want anything! I'll make money and treat you to milk tea!"
Amidst all the strange and bizarre behaviors of the players, Baili Shuang smiled slightly, deducted the favorability of those who should be deducted, and gently rejected those who should be gently rejected. Amid the wailing, the players finally learned to shut up.
Jiao Xueling, who had watched the whole scene, was deeply confused: What does it mean to deduct favorability?!
