Hua Shi had been in Xuanling Pavilion for more than 1 month. Naturally, there were people from the Hua family who came to visit him during this period. His father and his brothers were very concerned about him and would come in person almost every month. Even if they did not come in person, they would send people to deliver various things and would never let Hua Shi suffer in the sect.
But they always give advance notice when they come, and their coming days are relatively fixed. Now is definitely not the day for them to come.
But who else would come to see him besides them?
Hua Shi's thoughts changed, and then he heard Zhou Xun say: "Who else could it be? Of course it's Yu Xing and Zhou Li. They are waiting for you outside now. It seems that they are looking for you because of what happened in Frost Forest Valley before."
It has been more than three months since this incident happened, and Hua Shi has not seen them since returning from Frost Forest Valley. Although Hua Shi still keeps in touch with them through letters, he is still surprised to hear that they have arrived.
He hurried to the front hall and saw Yu Xing, Zhou Li and others talking in low voices there.
Seeing Hua Shi coming, the two men stopped talking and waved to Hua Shi with a smile. Hua Shi hurried over. The three of them had formed a life-and-death friendship in the Frost Forest Valley, and now they actually felt like they were meeting again after a calamity.
Hua Shi came up to the two and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"We are here to bring you news. We parted ways in a hurry in Frost Forest Valley before. Later, my master and his friends went to the valley several times and found some clues. We were planning to discuss it with you." Yu Xing said this, blinked, and said, "We seem to have discovered an incredible secret."
Hua Shi understood what she meant and asked in surprise, "Your master and the others are here too?"
Zhou Li also nodded: "Not only that, my master, several other seniors, and even Ji Yuan Lingzhu are here too. They should all be in the Ling Pavilion now."
Hua Shicai just realized that there were so many guests in Xuanling Pavilion today, but they were all matters concerning the elders. There was no point in him getting anxious here now. He could only wait for them to discuss and then inquire about the specific situation.
I don’t know what the ruins in the Frost Forest Valley represent, and what kind of existence Liu Qishuang plays in it.
Seeing that he seemed to be worried, Zhou Li asked, "You were not injured when you came back from Frost Forest Valley last time, right? What about that senior? How is he?"
Hua Shi quickly came back to his senses and shook his head, "Of course I'm fine."
He then added: "Senior Jiang is inside now. He should still be admiring the flowers at this time."
Zhou Li hesitated and asked, "Appreciating the flowers?"
It was really hard for them to imagine that the crazy senior whom they had met in Frost Forest Valley before could actually do such a refined thing.
In fact, it was not until they came to the backyard and saw Jiang Tingwan that they understood what the so-called flower viewing was all about.
Jiang Tingwan's flower-viewing actually means climbing up the peach tree wearing pink clothes and disguising herself as a peach blossom.
Arriving at the courtyard and looking at Jiang Tingwan, who was sitting upright on the tree pretending to be a peach blossom, Hua Shi coughed and corrected him, "I was wrong. It should be that I was here to enjoy the flowers."
In fact, it's not just the peach blossoms. Jiang Tingwan sometimes feels like she is a tree, a lantern hanging on the eaves, or even a bird flying in the sky, and she always tries very hard to act like one.
Zhou Liyuxing: "..."
The two were still a little afraid of Jiang Tingwan. This was because they had such a deep impression of Jiang Tingwan's crazy and violent appearance in the Frost Forest Valley. So even though they had heard Hua Shi say that he was no longer a threat to others, they still acted a little reserved and worried.
"Senior Jiang." The two of them called Jiang Tingwan's name cautiously.
The motionless person in the tree blinked when he heard the noise, then quickly jumped down and came in front of them in a few steps.
Yu Xing and Zhou Li were frightened by him and quickly took a few steps back. Only then did they realize that Jiang Tingwan was not coming for them, but for Hua Shi.
When he came in front of Hua Shi, Jiang Tingwan circled around him several times, sniffed at him for a long time, and seemed a little lost. Then he buried his head and rubbed against the corner of Hua Shi's clothes, behaving very intimately, without any of the aggressive attitude he had shown before when he attacked Hua Shi in Frost Forest Valley.
Hua Shi looked at Jiang Tingwan helplessly: "Senior, please stop making trouble."
Yu Xing opened his eyes wide with curiosity, stared at the scene and said: "Hua Shi, it seems that this senior likes you very much."
Hua Shi shook his head without explaining. How could he not know if others didn't know? Jiang Tingwan didn't come to look for him at all, but to look for the cat.
Jiang Tingwan might show aggression towards anyone, but he would not show any ferocity towards the cat transformed by the system. He didn't know what method the system used to make Senior Jiang so docile.
And every time Hua Shi took Jiang Tingwan to Yunxiu Pen's space, over time, for Jiang Tingwan, it seemed that as long as he saw Hua Shi, he would be able to see the system cat.
So Hua Shi knew that Senior Jiang was not trying to get close to him at all, he just wanted to pet his cat.
Hua Shi had no way of explaining to the two of them, so he could only smile randomly. The three of them met Jiang Tingwan here, and talked about what happened after they returned to the sect from Frost Forest Valley. Only then did they finally hear that several seniors had finished their discussion and were preparing to leave Lingge.
Several disciples immediately rushed towards Lingge.
As soon as they arrived downstairs of Lingge, they saw several people walking out of Lingge. Among them, Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan were walking in the front. No one knew what kind of argument had taken place between the two. Xuan Shuzhi's face was cold and he refused to pay any attention to Yi Zhan. Yi Zhan seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, but also did not say anything.
Behind them were Ji Yuan, Ji Yan, Sect Master Hanxi and several seniors that Hua Shi did not recognize.
Hua Shi met several seniors. Before he could say anything, Yu Xing had already called him "Master" and happily came to Ji Yan's side: "Master, how was your talk?"
"I have said everything that needs to be said. What to do next depends on what the Spirit Master has to say." As Ji Yan said this, he looked at Ji Yuan on the other side as if he had some other meaning.
Ji Yuan ignored him, his eyes passed over everyone and finally fell on Hua Shi.
Hua Shi didn't notice the man's gaze at first. When he found that everyone was strangely silent, Hua Shi realized that they were all following Ji Yuan's gaze and looking at him.
Hua Shi felt a little uncomfortable, lowered his head and coughed lightly, "Well, is there anything else you want to say?"
"I have said everything that needs to be said." Ji Yuan's answer was the same as Ji Yan's just now. He walked forward with his hands behind his back. After taking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Hua Shi, saying in a calm voice: "You, follow me."
Hua Shi's face suddenly turned bitter. He really didn't understand why this spiritual master always looked at him with a strange look in his eyes. He was not very willing to get along with Ji Yuan, but the current situation seemed to leave no room for him to refuse.
Helplessly, he looked up at Xuan Shuzhi for help, but Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyebrows but shook his head slightly at him, without any intention of helping.
Hua had no one to turn to for help, so he could only say "yes" in a low voice and followed Ji Yuan's footsteps reluctantly.
Looking at Ji Yuan's back, Hua Shi felt unsure, so he started to talk to the system again: "Why do I feel like this person always looks at me in a weird way?"
Fang Wei certainly knew why, but he couldn't reveal it. He just said, "Don't worry, maybe he just wants to chat with you."
Hua Shi didn't believe it at all, and asked suspiciously: "Why don't you talk about it in front of everyone? Why come out to talk alone? Could it be that you gave me the substitute spell before, and now you regret it and want to go back?"
Fang Wei: “…”
Although he wanted to explain on Ji Yuan's behalf that it wouldn't happen, Ji Yuan's current sneaky look really made people think too much.
Hua Shi muttered these things to the system in his mind, but still couldn't figure out what Ji Yuan wanted to do. Finally, he remembered something else and couldn't help asking, "By the way, I woke up in bed today, but I remember I fell asleep in the practice room before. Did someone send me back to bed?"
Fang Wei paused for a moment and asked, "Do you remember?"
Hua Shi shook his head blankly: "I'm asking you because I don't have any recollection. I can't remember anything."
Fang Wei was sure that Hua Shi really didn't know, so he said, "No, your Yunxiu Pen space was closed, so you naturally returned to the room."
However, he did not say that it was indeed him who sent Hua Shi to the room before that.
Hua Shi said "Oh" in disappointment, and was about to say something else, but Ji Yuan, who was walking in front of him, had already stopped. Hua Shi was not prepared at all, and was even thinking about what happened in the Yunxiu Pen space. At this time, Ji Yuan stopped, and he didn't pay attention, and actually bumped into Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan turned around silently, with no expression on his face.
Hua Shi was suddenly startled and quickly took two steps back: "I don't know..."
However, before Hua Shi finished speaking, this famous master of the spiritual path shook his head and stopped Hua Shi from continuing: "Did it hurt you?"
Hua Shi: “…”
He really didn't expect that he would receive such earnest concern from the iron-blooded and cold-faced Ji Yuanling Lord. However, from a certain perspective, this kind of concern was really a bit scary.
Hua Shi faced Ji Yuan's strange gaze, which was hard to resist, and broke down in his mind: "Is there something wrong with this guy?"
Fang Wei was silent.
Hua Shi said with a trembling heart: "His cold face is really not suitable for such a warm character. My back is sweating now."
Fang Wei also looked at Ji Yuan in this state and had to agree with Hua Shi: "You are right."
However, the matter was not over yet. After staring at Hua Shi for a while, Ji Yuan finally spoke again: "Are you doing well in Xuanling Pavilion? Has Xuan Shuzhi bullied you?"
If he had not been sure that he was the young master of the Hua family and looked very similar to his father and brothers, when he heard Ji Yuan's words, he almost thought that he was actually Ji Yuan's illegitimate son.
He looked at Ji Yuan's face hesitantly. Seeing that he was still staring at him waiting for an answer, he finally managed to speak out after a while: "Very good, Master is very good to me."
"Don't worry. If he bullies you, just tell me." Ji Yuan tried his best to put on a friendly expression and said in a gentle voice, "I can help you kill him."
Hua Shi Fang Wei: "..."
That's not necessary.
Hua Shi quickly waved his hand to reject Ji Yuan's kindness and quickly talked about something else to change the subject. Ji Yuan followed his words and after learning about Hua Shi's recent situation, he finally nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I understand."
Hua Shi was puzzled by his question. After waiting for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Spirit Master, why did you ask me out alone...?"
Ji Yuan said without changing his expression: "I have asked all the questions I wanted to know."
Hua Shi: “Ah?”
Ji Yuan said, "Let's go."
Hua Shi was confused: "Where to go?"
Ji Yuan said, "Go and tell them about the Frost Forest Valley."
Hua Shi: “…”
So the Lord of the Spiritual Path called him out just now just to inquire about his recent situation?
