Hua Zhian was naturally eager to recount his family's great achievements and began to vividly describe the exciting scene at the Chengxi Reservoir.
Jiang Yi glanced at Hua Xiangyun several times, secretly wondering if she was involved in this matter.
Hua Xiangyun looked completely innocent; this matter really had nothing to do with her.
Jiang Yi was also very supportive, praising him from time to time, which greatly changed Hua Zhian's opinion of him. It seems that this Comrade Jiang is just a bit slow to warm up, unlike what others said about him being aloof.
Suddenly, a shout came from ahead. It turned out that someone had caught a fish, and judging from the commotion, the catch was quite large.
Hua Zhian immediately pulled Hua Xiangyun, ready to rush over to see what was going on, but Hua Xiangyun refused, saying, "I'm not going. It's the same here; I can see everything clearly."
A large crowd had already gathered around, but she really had no interest in joining in the fun.
Besides, there's another big problem waiting for her to solve.
Jiang Yi also said that he would not join in the fun and would just wait here.
Hua Zhian didn't think much of it, and instead asked Jiang Yi, "Then I'll trouble Comrade Jiang to take care of my little sister."
Since they're all neighbors, it's normal for them to look after each other.
Jiang Yi smiled and agreed. After Jiang Zhian left, he raised an eyebrow and looked at Hua Xiangyun.
"Now you should give me an explanation, right?"
The reason he was brought here by the lightning must be related to the light he discovered, and the place that shone was exactly where this little girl was at that time.
Hua Xiangyun looked bewildered. "What do I need to explain to you?"
The Nine Lotus Cauldron, which had been hiding in the Spirit Platform, was now huddled in a corner. Oh dear, it finally knew what had been taken away in the end.
Besides, he didn't forget on purpose; no one expected this unexpected obstacle to appear out of nowhere.
"I came here because of you, didn't I?" Jiang Yi asked with a serious expression. "That day, I went to the back mountain to find you, but I saw a beam of bright light there, along with lightning and thunder, so I went to check it out."
Before I could even react, I lost consciousness, and when I woke up I was in the hospital.
He had suspected it before, but he wasn't entirely sure. A few days ago, when he saw the familiar walking posture, he thought he was seeing things. But today, he should be able to guess the truth.
However, he was also somewhat relieved. Fortunately, he had gone to the back mountain that day; otherwise, even if he had searched frantically, he would never have imagined that this girl would actually come here.
Hua Xiangyun, “…” This is really because of her own actions.
"I'm not entirely sure either. I was cultivating in the back mountain when suddenly a thunderbolt struck and brought me here," Hua Xiangyun said, half-truthfully.
"As for you, I really don't know. After all, I was immersed in cultivation at the time and didn't know you appeared in the back mountain."
Jiang Yi said, "It seems we've encountered a spacetime turbulence and anomalies. I've been thinking about how to get back these past few days, but it seems there's no rush now."
Hua Xiangyun didn't understand the meaning behind those words and thought it was a slip of the tongue, so she still told them what she knew.
Jiang Yi mentally went through the process, and then it became clear. "So you're saying this is a world in a book? And you're just cannon fodder? What about me?"
Hua Xiangyun shook her head. "There is no relevant information. However, your house was mentioned in the article. It was said that the owner has been away for many years and the house has been vacant, which is the envy of the local residents."
"Turns out I wasn't even cannon fodder," Jiang Yi said with a smile, shaking his head and not taking it to heart.
"So what are you thinking now? If you can't go back, how will you live in the future?"
Hua Xiangyun lowered her head and said mysteriously, "A few days ago, I discovered that a house had been set up with a Seven Fiends Formation. Was that your doing?"
However, that was just a simplified version; it would only cause minor injuries, not death.
In general, when faced with this situation, practitioners know that they have offended the sorcerer and will not meddle in other people's business.
Hua Xiangyun, upon seeing Jiang Yi, couldn't resist asking a question: Although this nominal senior brother wasn't particularly interested in cultivation, he was still Master's own son and had learned some basic techniques, though he was still quite capable of performing the Seven Fiends Formation.
"I didn't have everything I needed, so I just did a quick setup to teach them a lesson." Jiang Yi saw the crowd of onlookers slowly dispersing and knew this conversation wouldn't last long. "I'll explain in more detail later."
Hua Xiangyun's days here were boring. Apart from cultivating, she had no electronic devices and could only rely on gossip to pass the time.
"Then you must tell me the details later. If it's interesting, I don't mind getting involved."
Jiang Yi turned his head to look at her, "Your personality has become a bit more cheerful since you came here. It seems you're doing quite well."
Hua Xiangyun's eyes were warm. "Of course, I have a family now."
Jiang Yi concealed the affection in his eyes, "Then congratulations, it seems the Hua family treats you well."
Hua Xiangyun nodded emphatically, "It's really quite good." Even if there were some shortcomings, in reality, she had made a profit.
On the contrary, this nominal senior brother has been abroad since his master passed away and has not returned. Now he has moved to another place, but he is still all alone.
"So what are your plans next?" Hua Xiangyun was now afraid to hear from the other person that she still wanted to go back, even though this was just a world in a book, she didn't want to turn back.
“I don’t care, I’ll have nothing to lose anyway,” Jiang Yi said, looking at Hua Xiangyun. “But at least I still have you here.”
Hua Xiangyun immediately patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, for Master's sake, I will protect you."
If you want to learn the law, I will pass on everything my master taught you.
Seeing her smug look, Jiang Yi couldn't help but reach out and flick her forehead. "Although I don't really like studying, do you think my dad would hide anything from me?"
You should think about it. If there's anything you don't understand, you can come to me for help. After all, you've called me your senior for several years.
If it weren't for an argument later that led him to leave for abroad in a huff, it would have been because he didn't want to cultivate, and coupled with his lack of talent, he wasn't very dedicated.
"Don't call me senior brother anymore, just call me Brother Jiang!" Jiang Yi reminded him, considering their current status.
It's important to understand that a single term can lead to countless problems.
Since coming into this world, he has been extremely cautious with every step he takes. Now, seeing Hua Xiangyun, he felt a little secretly pleased, finally finding out why he came here.
“Okay then,” Hua Xiangyun readily agreed, since she hadn’t addressed him as “senior brother” in a long time anyway.
There was still a question in my mind: Jiang Yi had been abroad for many years and had not appeared except to attend his master's funeral. What was he doing when he came back before?
These questions have no chance of being answered now, because she has already seen Hua Zhian running towards them with his hands outstretched.
"What a disappointment! I thought I'd caught a big fish, but it turns out I just got stuck on Earth."
