Chapter 76 Aren’t the stockings white? Are you jealous?
"Junior Sister Chu Chan, it's great that you've returned safely."
Although Zhao Dieyi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she still maintained her usual decent demeanor and smiled slightly.
"Thanks to Senior Sister, I am doing very well now." Chu Chan also smiled and responded.
As for Chen Ning who was hiding behind Zhao Dieyi, she seemed not to see him and ignored him.
Her goal has been achieved. From today onwards, no one in the Yao Chi Sect will dare to look down on or bully her.
As for the grudge between her and Chen Ning, she would have time and opportunity to take revenge slowly in the future.
She didn't want to give Jiang Lan the impression that she was spoiled.
Zhao Dieyi didn't know why, but she always felt that Chu Chan at this moment seemed to have undergone a complete transformation compared to before.
Before, although Chu Chan was still very polite when facing her, she would appear very reserved and act carefully, for fear of saying the wrong thing.
But now, she dared to look him in the face, with a calm expression on her face.
Did such a big change happen in just one night? "Junior Sister Chu Chan came to see me, is there something wrong?" Zhao Dieyi asked, without mentioning what happened in Zuixian Residence yesterday.
Chu Chan smiled and said, "Actually, Junior Sister came here because she wanted to say hello to Senior Sister. I think all the senior sisters and junior sisters here must be worried about my situation and safety, so I rushed back to let them feel at ease."
Zhao Dieyi didn't know whether her words were sincere or sarcasm.
She felt a little uncomfortable, but didn't say much.
"The second reason is that I want to find Senior Sister Chen Ning to say thank you. If it wasn't for Senior Sister Chen Ning introducing me to Young Master Jiang yesterday, I wouldn't be qualified to meet Young Master Jiang."
"Mr. Jiang has been very good to me, and I am very grateful to him, but I also cannot forget Senior Sister Chen Ning's kindness, so I came to Senior Sister Chen Ning to express my gratitude."
"What a pity! Senior Sister Chen Ning is not at the cave..."
When she said this, she smiled with a hint of regret.
Then he looked at Chen Ning behind Zhao Dieyi and showed a flawless smile of gratitude.
Chen Ning felt uncomfortable. She didn't know why, but she felt that Chu Chan's smile was filled with coldness, which made her shiver quietly.
"Junior Sister Chu Chan, you are joking. Seeing that you are safe and sound and loved by Master Jiang, we all breathed a sigh of relief and are happy for you."
"It's just a small favor, you don't have to take it too seriously." Chen Ning forced a smile, but it looked very ugly.
Zhao Dieyi also understood at this moment that Chu Chan was making a subtle sarcasm. She was probably still feeling resentful and dissatisfied about what happened yesterday.
She felt a little guilty, but it was not right to say anything at the moment.
Things have already happened, and no matter how much you say, it's useless.
"Since the two senior sisters still have things to discuss, I will not disturb you."
Chu Chan looked at Zhao Dieyi who had fallen silent. She felt that her goal had been achieved. She smiled slightly and did not stay any longer. She turned around and left.
"Senior Sister Zhao, look at Chu Chan. Isn't it because that second-generation rich guy has taken a fancy to her? Look at her, her tail is almost up to the sky..."
"You are so arrogant that you don't even take me seriously. You even say these things in a condescending manner, secretly mocking me."
After Chu Chan left, Chen Ning finally felt relaxed. He no longer concealed his full malice and hostility, and hurriedly spoke to Zhao Dieyi who was silent beside him.
But Zhao Dieyi ignored her and looked at Chu Chan's departing back, as if thinking about something.
She didn't believe that Jiang Lan came to Anyang City for no reason. She was afraid that Jiang Lan would target her yesterday, so she left Zuixianju early and tried not to meet Jiang Lan.
Chu Chan came here so blatantly today and said such a thing. Could it be that Jiang Lan was behind it? That's why she is so fearless? "Grandpa told me to try not to meet Jiang Lan, saying that he is not as simple as he seems..."
"Chu Chan came again just now. Could it be that she wanted to deliberately provoke me so that Jiang Lan would make the decision for her and have a legitimate opportunity to deal with me?"
Zhao Dieyi felt a little depressed.
Even though Jiang Lan has no cultivation, she is surrounded by many experts who are beyond her ability to contend with now.
"When Ling Zhuyun arrives, I will return to the sect to go into seclusion."
Zhao Dieyi ignored Chen Ning and turned back to the cave.
She didn't care at all about Chen Ning's provocation. She had already done her best by speaking for her in Zuixianju. It was impossible for her to take the initiative to provoke Jiang Lan because of Chen Ning.
"No, Chu Chan has become a phoenix now. She will definitely find a way to retaliate against me."
"I have to send a message and ask the family to send someone over."
"Or, if she strikes first, she will gain the upper hand. Chu Chan has a foolish brother in Zixia Temple. Does she think she has no weaknesses?"
Chen Ning looked at Zhao Dieyi who had ignored her, her face turned pale, but soon turned gloomy again, and her hands clenched tightly.
She has never been a soft-hearted person. Now that she and Chu Chan have formed a hatred, there is no way the other party will let her go.
Chu Chan had just clung to Jiang Lan's thigh, yet she dared to be so unscrupulous.
If time goes on any longer, wouldn't I and my family really be trampled underfoot?
The hatred and conflict between the two could not be resolved at all. During the years in Yao Chi Sect, she had bullied Chu Chan a lot.
He even deliberately slandered and framed Chu Chan, pinning all kinds of unfounded charges on her like throwing dirty water on her.
…
On the way out of Chi Yao Zong's residence, Chu Chan had mixed feelings, some emotion, but more of it was happiness.
Of course, she was also very clear-headed and knew that all of this was brought to her by Jiang Lan, and he could also take it all away at any time.
Compared with Su Qinghan, she currently does not have much advantage.
If there was only one reason, it might be the novelty? And that she was more obedient? Thinking of this, her sense of urgency suddenly increased.
With something on her mind, Chu Chan stopped at the entrance of a relatively remote alley.
She hesitated for a moment before walking in.
This place is called Wuyi Lane, and there is a gauze clothing shop run by a mermaid. The materials used are basically mermaid gauze, which is as thin as smoke, fog and hazy.
If worn on the body, it can fully show the gracefulness and curves of a woman's figure, giving people endless reverie.
She had never set foot in such a place before. She had always lived frugally and it was impossible for her to spend an extra spirit stone on food, clothing and other daily necessities.
But now... everything is different.
After calming down a little, Chu Chan lifted the black gauze curtain outside and walked in. There, a beautiful mermaid girl came to greet her.
"Miss, do you want to see something?"
The merman girl looked at the accessories and dress on Chu Chan, and the expression in her eyes became obviously more submissive and passionate.
This person is either rich or noble.
But who would come here to find a place for an ordinary woman, unless she really likes this kind of bold dress.
But she didn't dare to speculate about Chu Chan's identity.
Chu Chan maintained her calmness and composure, and simply said, "Show me around and introduce me to the world. This is my first time here."
When the merman girl heard this, she immediately understood and said, "Miss, please come this way."
As he said that, he led Chu Chan to the second floor.
Not long after, Chu Chan, with a slightly rosy red complexion on her flawless white face, tried her best to remain calm and composed as she walked down.
The mermaid girl's introduction was still echoing in her mind, "Miss, you have such a good figure, especially your long legs. If you put on this outfit, your sweetheart will definitely like it..."
Although Chu Chan didn't quite understand these compliments, she could vaguely understand what they meant.
But aren’t those stockings, which are as thin as smoke and reveal the black color in the hazy view, a little too long?
Aren't stockings generally white? She didn't think too much about it.
Soon, after paying the bill, Chu Chan, feeling a little pained, left Wuyi Lane. She decided to believe the words of the mermaid girl.
…
At the same time, it was thousands of miles away from Anyang City.
A towering and steep mountain stands here, which is unknown how many thousand feet high. In the middle, there are lush ancient trees, green peaks and valleys, gurgling clear springs, and lingering clouds and mist.
Between the cliffs, there is a waterfall like the Milky Way, hanging high and falling straight down, stirring up steaming water mist.
A fair-faced, handsome-looking young man took off his Taoist robe and stood firm in the falling waterfall, gritting his teeth and letting the water hit him and continuously splash down on him.
The seemingly thin body faintly revealed the outline of strength.
On the shore, a blue cow with shiny hair and eyes like copper bells was leaning lazily on a huge blue stone in a human-like posture, with its hind legs crossed and a piece of green grass hanging from its mouth.
"Yes, that's right. If you hold on for another half an incense stick, you will have mastered the basics of the Rock Skill." Qingniu spoke in human language, as clear as a child's.
“Master…”
The young man under the waterfall opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Qingniu, who said dissatisfiedly, "Don't call me Master. Your Master is my master, and you are my little master. Just call me Dahuang."
The boy still didn't quite understand why a green cow was called Dahuang.
But he still nodded and said, "Da Huang, when can I return to Zixia Temple to seek revenge on Luo Fei and the others?"
The young man was Chu Yun, who had survived the disaster at the foot of the cliff and was rescued by Qingniu that day.
Although he was still young, he was still resentful about the fact that his treasure was robbed by several of his fellow disciples and his body was thrown off a cliff.
I wish I could find them now and kill them with my own hands to avenge myself.
Qingniu sneered, "With your current strength, you still want to take revenge. First, practice hard and improve your strength."
"Although you are a latecomer, you are endowed with a rare fighting saint body. As long as you practice step by step, you will shine in the near future."
"Revenge is a simple matter."
Chu Yun nodded, his face showing determination and calmness. Da Huang was right. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
He has just started to learn the Rock Skill, so if he wants to take revenge in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities. Those brothers are very advanced, and he is not their match yet.
"My master, Taoist Zixia, was not a good person either. He clearly promised my sister that he would take good care of me and Uncle Fu, but he remained indifferent when he saw Uncle Fu being bullied by those evil disciples. In the end, Uncle Fu died of illness, and we could only wrap his body in a straw mat and throw it into the wilderness..."
Chu Yun clenched his fists, his eyes revealing coldness and hatred.
Even though his brain wasn't working well before, it doesn't mean he doesn't have those memories, he just didn't understand them at the time.
Now that his mind is sharp and intelligent, he can remember all those things.
Taoist Zixia, the abbot of Zixia Temple, deceived his sister into trusting him by claiming that he had a close relationship with his ancestors of the Chu family. The sister entrusted him to Taoist Zixia with confidence and went there alone to become his disciple and seek the Tao.
Unfortunately, her sister was completely unaware of Taoist Zixia's ambitions.
He has been staying here for many years just for the inheritance of the cave of True Lord Zixia mentioned by Dahuang.
The ancestor of the Chu family did have some connection with True Lord Zixia, otherwise True Lord Zixia's token would not be in his hands.
Chu Yun remembered this jade pendant. It had always been kept close to his sister's body. But last time, she unexpectedly sent it to him along with a bunch of elixirs and spiritual stones.
If it weren't for this coincidence, he would probably have been killed by those vicious senior brothers and buried under the cliff.
"I don't know what my sister's current situation is. She has been saying in her letters that she is living well in Yao Chi Sect, and the sisters treat her like a real sister, and they are all very kind and friendly."
"If she lacks cultivation resources, the senior sisters will help her."
"She saved so many spirit stones and medicinal pills and sent them to my useless brother who is unable to practice. I don't know if this will delay her practice..."
Chu Yun sighed softly in his heart, feeling full of gratitude and guilt towards his sister who was like a mother to him.
His useless brother has been a burden to her for so many years.
Fortunately, he has recovered now, and unexpectedly became the successor of True Lord Zixia, with such a mysterious green bull guiding him.
As long as he is given time, he will definitely grow up and repay his sister's kindness.
When his thoughts came back, Chu Yun felt his body was filled with surging power, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth swarmed in and gathered towards his limbs and bones.
Today's practice is finally over. After he mastered the Rock Skill, he can no longer rely on this waterfall for practice.
The next moment, he took a step, jumped to the shore easily, and put on his clean Taoist robe.
"Dahuang, go back to the Taoist temple." Chu Yun said.
Qingniu lazily stood up and asked, "Have you thought about it? If your brothers have evil intentions again, you won't have good luck next time. I don't have the ability to save you again."
Chu Yun said, "Since Taoist Zixia wants to take over Master's inheritance, he will definitely not let me die."
"If I were dead, he might not ask any more questions or care about anything, but now that I'm alive, he definitely won't let me be bullied by those brothers..."
Qingniu looked approving. This kid has indeed become much smarter after he became enlightened.
"After I got back, I said that I accidentally fell off a cliff for some reason. I couldn't remember many things before that, and my head was bleeding a lot."
"If you ask again, just say that I survived by relying on a rare flower. After eating that rare flower, I became much stronger and smarter."
As they were talking, the figures of the cow and the man quickly disappeared.
…
When Su Qinghan finished refining the medicine and left the box.
Jiang Lan was still in the old place, listening to music and drinking, leisurely. A group of beautiful women with unfamiliar faces were serving him by the side, rubbing his shoulders or massaging his legs.
Seeing her coming, the women tactfully excused themselves and left.
"Qinghan's strength has improved a lot. It seems that this medicinal food is quite useful." Jiang Lan glanced at her and praised.
"Thanks to you, Master, I am having this first time eating such a luxurious medicinal meal..."
A faint fragrance wafted in. Su Qinghan sat down beside him, tucked the few strands of black hair that fell on his fair and crystal ears behind his ears, thought for a moment, picked up the spiritual fruit and helped him peel it.
"If Qinghan likes it, I will ask people to cook for you every day in the future." Jiang Lan smiled casually.
It was the first time that Su Qinghan called herself a concubine in front of him.
He immersed himself in a glance and saw that the luck and fortune fruit in the Niwan Palace had become much darker in color. It was all the luck and fortune that he had gathered from Su Qinghan during this period of time.
Jiang Lan laughed in his heart. Su Qinghan was really a "hypocritical" woman who said she was reluctant but was actually very honest in her heart.
"Medicinal food is good, but it is just external food after all. You can't eat it often, otherwise your foundation will not be stable."
Su Qinghan shook her head slightly, picked up the peeled spiritual fruit with her slender white jade hand, and handed it to Jiang Lan's mouth.
Jiang Lan looked at her with interest, then lowered his head and bit off that crystal jade hand.
"...Young Master"
Su Qinghan's jade hand trembled slightly, but she did not retract it.
She just glanced at Jiang Lan with a slight displeasure and snorted in her heart. She didn't know why she felt inexplicably happy at this moment.
I can’t explain the reason, and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because Chu Chan, that annoying guy, is not in front of me?
Jiang Lan smiled and stopped teasing her. He took the spiritual fruit and started eating it.
"Don't you have mysophobia?"
"It's not too dirty."
Su Qinghan looked at his slightly moist slender jade fingers, thought for a moment, and asked with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Lan replied casually, "Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The habit of cleanliness depends on the person."
Su Qinghan rolled his eyes at him, not expecting him to answer like that, and asked, "Sir, has Chu Chan left?"
She didn't know why she asked this question.
She originally wanted to ask how long she would stay in Anyang City.
Jiang Lan glanced at her, a smile suddenly formed on his lips, and he asked, "Qinghan, are you jealous of Chan'er?"
Su Qinghan refused to admit it, and just said, "Young Master's body is a little weak to begin with, I am mainly worried that you will be sucked dry by that guy."
