Hua Xiangwan slept soundly, and when she woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.

She yawned, and then felt that something was wrong. The place around her was not the guest room where she slept last night, but the spirit beast jade carriage she usually rode. Lingnan was peeling pears opposite her.

Seeing her wake up, Lingnan quickly put down the half-peeled pear, half-knelt in front of Hua Xiangwan, and said with bright eyes: "Young Master, how was last night? How did Xie Daojun feel?"

Hua Xiangwan froze in her yawning motion, then raised her hand and gave Lingnan a slap: "What are you thinking about! Nothing happened between Xie Wushuang and me."

"ah?"

Lingnan was a little disappointed when he heard this reply. He brought tea to Hua Xiangwan and muttered in confusion: "We all saw him in your room, and he covered you up so well. How could he know everything..."

"How dare you say that?!"

Hua Xiangwan took the tea and widened her eyes: "He is here to call me to task. I entered the wrong dream last night and went to Xie Daojun's dream. Daojun has a firm heart and chased me out! If he hadn't planned to kill me, I would have died there last night!"

"How is that possible?" Ling Nan affirmed, "It's obvious that he doesn't look like he wants to kill you."

"What do you know? Did you know that his sword was across my neck?" Hua Xiangwan pointed at her slender neck, "I was almost chopped off by him!"

"He has a firm heart and has never suffered any loss. Why would he rush out of his dream to kill you?"

Lingnan was puzzled, and Hua Xiangwan blurted out: "He felt that I insulted his innocence..."

"You insulted his innocence?!"

Lingnan was excited. Hua Xiangwan choked up and quickly explained: "It's not what you think. I entered his dream to insult him. I swear to God, I didn't do anything."

It was just a kiss.

But Hua Xiangwan would never tell Lingnan about this, in case she made up something on her mind.

Ling Nan was quite disappointed and sat back down: "Well... with the atmosphere you guys had last night, I thought it was a success."

Seeing Lingnan depressed, Hua Xiangwan thought about how they escaped from the battlefield last night, and couldn't help but feel gloating: "What's the point? Xie Daojun hates me to the core now, and Shen Daojun thinks of me as a vicious woman who has tried to harm him many times but failed. I'm afraid I won't have any chance in the future."

"This..." Lingnan was a little anxious, "What should I do?"

"Just take things as they come." Hua Xiangwan said calmly, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, lifted the car curtain and took a look outside.

Although monks can wield swords, it consumes spiritual energy after all. When traveling long distances, most people still use spirit beasts or magic tools to travel. At this moment, except for her sitting in the carriage, everyone else is riding their own mounts or spirit horses, speeding along the official road, as if they are in a hurry.

She looked outside and found that she couldn't recognize where she was, so she turned to look at Lingnan: "Where are we going?"

"The Tianjian Sect took us out early in the morning without saying where we were going. I guess we were going back to the Tianjian Sect." Lingnan was still immersed in Hua Xiangwan's words, his face full of worry.

"Then how do I get on the carriage?" Hua Xiangwan was a little confused, frowning as if she didn't understand.

"You were sleeping so soundly that I couldn't wake you up no matter how hard I called you," Ling Nan said helplessly, "I can only carry you up here."

Then she was indeed very sleepy.

"Okay."

Hua Xiangwan didn't care. She looked around and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

"Just some snacks..."

Before she could finish her words, someone knocked on the carriage. Hua Xiangwan turned around and saw Jiang Yiran riding a horse-drawn carriage beside the carriage.

Seeing Hua Xiangwan looking over, Jiang Yiran smiled brightly: "Young Master Hua, you're awake, are you hungry?"

Hua Xiangwan was stunned. She didn't expect that a disciple from the Tianjian Sect would take the initiative to ask this.

Her golden elixir cannot function and she has no spiritual power supply. Unless she takes the fasting pill, she is no different from an ordinary person. Other people can go without food, but she cannot.

However, everyone present was a cultivator, and they were all busy on their way. She thought that only the Hehuan Sect would care about this matter, but she didn't expect Jiang Yiran to take the initiative to ask about it.

She felt warm inside and smiled: "It's okay, I'll just have a snack."

"No need to eat snacks," Jiang Yiran said, holding up a food box from the side, "Senior Brother Shen bought you some food, which Yu Jian caught up with, and it's still hot. Stop the car and I'll bring it up to you."

Hua Xiangwan was a little surprised when she heard it was Shen Xiuwen.

Who would have thought that after the Dream Seal incident, Shen Xiuwen would still be so kind to her and considerate?

Ling Nan, who was standing nearby, didn't notice anything unusual. When he heard that there was food to eat, he quickly stopped the spirit beast that was pulling the cart.

Jiang Yiran passed the food box in from the window and said with a smile, "Senior brother said that he didn't know the young master's taste, so he bought some sweet, salty and spicy. If the young master has any preferences, you can tell me later and he will buy them."

"How can this be so embarrassing?" Lingnan happily took the food box and added, "Our young master likes to eat meat and spicy food, and he especially likes coriander!"

“Lingnan——” Hua Xiangwan glared at Lingnan, who quickly shrank back, lowered his head and began to serve the dishes obediently.

Hua Xiangwan turned to look at Jiang Yiran, nodded and thanked him: "Thank you, Jiang Daojun. Please tell Shen Daojun to thank him for his kindness and tell him not to overwork himself. I will be fine even if I take the fasting pills."

"It's okay, Brother Shen..."

"And that's all," Hua Xiangwan thought for a moment, and finally spoke, "Please tell him again, Jiang Daojun, I'm sorry for what happened before, but I won't do it again in the future."

Jiang Yiran was a little confused. Anyone could tell there was a lot hidden in these words. He couldn't say much and could only nod: "Okay, then Young Master, have a good rest. I... I'll go talk to Senior Brother Shen."

After Jiang Yiran finished speaking, he rode away.

Hua Xiangwan lowered the curtains and turned to look at the sumptuous meal on the table and Lingnan, who was staring at her with eyes almost popping out. She glared at her and said, "Don't look at it. There's no place for you."

"So much..." Lingnan heard this and said reluctantly, "I can eat the leftovers, and you don't like spicy food and cilantro, so I'll help you eat it."

"You keep talking nonsense every day," Hua Xiangwan pushed her head, "If I see coriander tomorrow, you won't be able to eat anything this year."

"Ah..." Lingnan reached out to hold Hua Xiangwan's hand and looked at her intently, "Young Master..."

"Alright," Hua Xiangwan pushed her away in disgust, "Let's eat."

The two of them ate the food that Shen Xiuwen brought. Jiang Yiran went back and told Shen Xiuwen everything about the conversation.

Shen Xiuwen listened and confirmed again: "Do you like meat, spicy food, and coriander?"

"yes."

Jiang Yiran nodded: "In the future, if you give her more coriander, she will definitely be happy!"

Shen Xiuwen nodded thoughtfully, and Jiang Yiran spoke: "Oh, and Young Master Hua asked me to tell you that I'm sorry for what happened before, and I won't do it again in the future."

Hearing this, Shen Xiuwen was stunned. Jiang Yiran asked curiously: "Brother, what happened before?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Shen Xiuwen came back to his senses and smiled gently, "It was just a misunderstanding. I have something else to say to Senior Brother Xie. You go take care of the other disciples."

"Okay."

Jiang Yiran nodded, turned and left.

Shen Xiuwen stayed there for a moment, smiled, then turned around and walked forward to look for Xie Changji who was leading the group.

After lunch, Lingnan packed up the lunch boxes, and Hua Xiangwan ate all the sweets. As soon as they got out of the carriage, they saw Jiang Yiran guarding the door.

"Spiritual Right Envoy," Jiang Yiran said happily, "I'll help you clean up."

As he spoke, he snatched the lunch box and left with it without waiting for Lingnan to react.

Not long after, the food box appeared in Xie Changji's hands.

He took a quick glance and found that they were all eaten.

Eating meat, spicy food and coriander, just the opposite, and then eating all these things.

Is it true, or... a deliberate lie?

******

After dinner, Hua Xiangwan read a storybook while lying on the bed, then felt bored. Seeing that the Heavenly Sword Sect showed no sign of stopping, she simply stopped and meditated.

The time in meditation passed quickly. When Hua Xiangwan opened her eyes again, it was already night. Lingnan was taking a nap beside her with his head propped up. Hua Xiangwan rolled up the curtain and looked outside. Seeing that it was already late at night, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Why is the Tianjian Sect more anxious than them and in such a hurry? What happened in the Tianjian Sect?

"Lingbei," Hua Xiangwan was surprised and called for help. Lingbei rode forward and came to Hua Xiangwan's window. Hua Xiangwan frowned and said, "Why don't you rest yet? What's the reason why the Heavenly Sword Sect is in such a hurry?"

"Master, someone is following us."

Ling Bei spoke, took a look around, and was quite alert: "It might be someone from the Western Territory."

"Mingluan Palace?"

Hua Xiangwan mentioned the only person from the Western Territory that he had seen so far. Lingbei shook his head and said, "Maybe there are more than that. I saw the undead bird used by the Yin Yang Sect for tracking on the road."

This surprised Hua Xiangwan a little. She could understand why Mingluan Palace came to stop her. After all, the number one target in Mingluan Palace's eyes was now Hehuan Palace. Although sending Qin Yunshang over was a bit of a big deal, it was not impossible.

But what is the purpose of the Yin Yang Sect, one of the Nine Sects, joining in the fun?

As the two were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Ling Bei and Hua Xiangwan looked at each other, and then they heard Jiang Yiran's voice: "Young Master, there is a valley ahead. Senior Brother Xie is afraid of an ambush, so he will go over to check it out first. Young Master, please wait for a while."

As Jiang Yiran was speaking, disciples from the Tianjian Sect gathered around. A group of disciples formed a sword formation with Hua Xiangwan as the center, protecting everyone from the Hehuan Palace in the middle.

Ling Bei glanced at Hua Xiangwan and whispered, "Xie Wushuang, go directly into the valley. There should be someone ahead. Do you want help?"

Hua Xiangwan didn't say anything, but the sound of something climbing could be faintly heard from the dense forest around her.

Hearing this voice, Lingnan slowly closed his eyes, and Lingbei's expression also looked unhappy.

"Instead of helping him," Hua Xiangwan smiled, "it's better to help yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the surrounding Tianjian Sect disciples shouting in surprise: "Insects! So many insects! Be alert! Be alert!"

"The Five Poison Sect is here too."

There was a panic outside. Ling Bei glanced at Hua Xiangwan and said in a deep voice, "I'll go and help."

After all, these young disciples of the Tianjian Sect are still young. If they really encounter these cultivators from the Western Territory, they will probably be eaten to the bone without leaving any trace.

Lingbei led his men out, leaving Lingnan and Hua Xiangwan alone in the carriage.

Hua Xiangwan glanced at Lingnan, who immediately stood up, walked forward, knelt in front of Hua Xiangwan, and opened his arms to her.

Hua Xiangwan cut the fingers of one hand and placed the other hand on Lingnan's open palm.

The two palms overlapped, and spiritual power was transferred from Lingnan to Hua Xiangwan. Blood from Hua Xiangwan's fingertips dripped onto the table, and she murmured an obscure spell.

Following the chanting of the spell, the blood turned into a circle on the table, and then began to connect into a complex magic circle.

After a moment, the last pattern was connected, and the magic circle suddenly burst into light, and finally expanded rapidly, rushing towards the surroundings.

The magic circle burst out with a flaming light, and wherever it passed, the poisonous insects were instantly burned to ashes!

All the disciples of Tianjian Sect were stunned, but after a moment, a sharp scream suddenly rang out from the side!

At the same time, countless black shadows rushed out from the forest, howling and rushing towards Hua Xiangwan's carriage.

The poisonous insects came back again, and together with these black shadows, they rushed towards Hua Xiangwan in large numbers.

All the disciples surrounded Hua Xiangwan's carriage, and Hua Xiangwan kept drawing talismans on the carriage.

One after another, brilliant rays of light shot out from Hua Xiangwan's carriage into the distance, directly killing the monks behind the dark shadows and poisonous insects.

As the number of poisonous insects and dark shadows decreased, people began to relax a little. At this moment, Shen Xiuwen felt the ground shaking slightly.

He immediately realized something was wrong, turned around and ran towards Hua Xiangwan's carriage, shouting in surprise: "Young Master Hua, be careful!"

At that moment, a giant beast with tiger claws and a monkey body suddenly broke out from under Hua Xiangwan's feet and threw Hua Xiangwan's carriage high into the air!

Hua Xiangwan and Lingnan were both practitioners of magic. They were thrown so violently that they couldn't keep their bodies steady and were thrown out of the carriage.

As soon as she appeared, the giant beast threw the carriage aside and slapped her.

Its raised claws were extremely sharp, shining coldly in the moonlight. Hua Xiangwan's eyes widened, and at that moment, Shen Xiuwen suddenly rushed over, blocked her and hugged her, rolling on the ground, barely escaping from the claws of the giant beast.

The sharp claws scratched Shen Xiuwen's back, and Shen Xiuwen cried out in pain. Hua Xiangwan took the initiative and hugged Shen Xiuwen. Without hesitation, he pulled the long sword from his hand. When the giant beast opened its mouth to bite for a moment, he held the sword in front of him and hit the giant beast's mouth with a "ding" sound!

"Shen Daojun," Hua Xiangwan's hand holding the sword trembled slightly. She turned her head to look at the blood-soaked Shen Xiuwen and laughed, "This time, I didn't plot against you."

Shen Xiuwen forced a smile. At that moment, a long sword fell from the sky, slashing down from head to tail. The beast froze in its tracks. Hua Xiangwan reacted suddenly, hugged Shen Xiuwen and jumped to the side, rolling all the way to the edge.

Then, a painful howl was heard, and the huge beast as big as a hill was split into two halves and fell to the sides.

Blood poured down like rain, splashing everywhere. Hua Xiangwan raised her sleeves to protect Shen Xiuwen and block the blood rain.

Looking through the sleeves into the distance, a young man in white was standing in the gap where the giant beast fell. The young man raised his hand, and the long sword that cut the giant beast in half fell into his hand. Then, in the blood rain, the white shadow caught up with the dozen or so monks in an instant.

The sword pierced through, cut open the chest and abdomen, and the sword passed through, and the head flew across.

Before the rain fell, the young man had already killed these people.

There was only one monk left, who was standing a little further away. He had been immobilized in advance and had his face splashed with blood, but he barely managed to keep his life.

Hua Xiangwan held Shen Xiuwen in her arms, staring blankly at "Xie Wushuang", half covered in blood, standing in the blood and turning around.

Half of his face was stained with blood, like plum blossoms falling on jade, but the other half was still the same as usual, carved from white jade without a single flaw.

He held the sword and remained calm the whole time, but Hua Xiangwan felt the murderous aura from this man, which she had never seen before in her life.

This murderous aura is not directed at anyone, it is simply caused by too much killing.

Even when he crawled out of the pile of corpses in the Western Territory, Hua Xiangwan felt a moment of fear.

Half body in white, half in blood, half face as a god and half as a devil.

His eyes fell on Hua Xiangwan's hand and he stared at her hand for a long time.

The blood spread all around and no one dared to say a word.

Hua Xiangwan protected Shen Xiuwen and stared at "Xie Wushuang" nervously. He seemed to want to say something, but opened his mouth, seemed to remember something, and finally did not speak.

He turned around, took a few steps forward, and stopped again.

Hua Xiangwan's heart rose and fell with his steps. After a moment, she heard him ask in a low voice: "Hua Xiangwan, can you use a sword?"
