Chapter 43
"Jiang Li?"
When Yu Tai mentioned this name to him, Shu Li's face showed no significant emotion. He simply said calmly, "When I was still in the Qingshan Sword Sect, he was already quite famous. Now he has reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core."
Yu Tai propped up her chin, and with her other hand lazily scratched Xia Mo's chin. Her eyes flashed with malice, and she said in a teasing tone, "People say that Jiang Li's talent far exceeds that of Shu Li back then."
When putting the two names together, Yu Tai discovered that both of their names coincidentally contained the character 'li'.
Shu Li reached out and moved the teacup in front of her to the side to prevent her from accidentally knocking it over. He nodded in agreement, "Indeed, your qualifications are better than mine."
Yu Tai glanced at him with dissatisfaction: "They are both geniuses, one is very popular in the world of cultivation, full of vigor and ambition, while the other can only hide in the house and serve tea to women."
Shu Li stroked his chin, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before nodding again and commenting, "Well, he's not happy."
Yu Tai: "......?"
Who understands the feeling of hearing the word "happiness" from the mouth of the handsome, strong and tragic male protagonist?
"I asked Senior Sister Li, and she said that in the past, the inner disciples of the major sects would not bother to come and observe the fighting competition in the middle realm, but Jiang Li actually came this time..."
"I'm here to investigate the Chengtian Gate massacre." Shu Li said in an affirmative tone.
Changing her hand to support her head, Yu Tai's eyes flickered. "Then I really hope they can successfully find the real culprit."
The stinky demon cultivator who stole my head!
"I hope so." Shu Li picked up the teacup, and the rising steam blurred the meaningful look in his gentle eyes.
...
"Jiang Li, what do you think?"
Since being sealed off, Chengtian Gate has been maintaining the appearance it had when it was exterminated. The number of bloodless bones on the ground is extremely horrifying.
But the most horrifying thing is their expressions, which are distorted to the extreme by fear and pain, making people curious about what they saw in their lifetime.
As the leader of the largest sect in the middle realm, Jiang Wenyi accompanied these people from the upper realm.
The young man in black, who was squatting not far away and seemed to be observing something, raised his head when he heard this, and his sharp eyes narrowed slightly. "I think she smells so good, she must have used some special spices."
Old man: “……?”
"You little brat! What did I ask you?!"
Jiang Li stood up, turned the high ponytail held up by the golden crown slightly, and walked towards Jiang Wenyi who was not far away.
Facing the young man's eyes that were as cold as a pond and without any emotion, Jiang Wenyi, the leader of a sect, actually felt a sense of oppression for no reason.
"I'll go back with you later."
Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment: "Fellow Daoist, are you talking about the Qingshan Sword Sect?"
Jiang Li nodded expressionlessly.
Jiang Wen, who was well aware of what happened between Jiang Li and his disciple Yu Tai a few days ago, had a flash of deep thought in his eyes.
Originally, he planned to leave Yu Tai to his son.
Now it seems...
"The master's summoning talisman?" Yu Tai, who was meditating, opened his eyes and frowned as he looked at the pale golden talisman in front of him.
Why did Jiang Wenyi look for her?
Walking into the Xuanqing Palace, Yu Tai's eyes swept across the darkness, and she instantly understood Jiang Wenyi's intention in looking for her.
"This is Fellow Daoist Jiang Li from the Zuiyin Sect. He will be staying in our sect temporarily until the end of the competition. Coincidentally, you two are of the same age, so you can help Fellow Daoist Jiang Li familiarize himself with the sect."
"Remember, don't neglect your guests."
Jiang Wenyi made the final decision without even asking for Yu Tai's opinion.
Jiang Yibai, who was standing beside the hall, had a gloomy expression on his face. He seemed to want to say something, but when he met his father's eyes, he swallowed the words reluctantly.
After leading his men out of Xuanqing Palace, the young man in black quietly walked up behind Yu Tai. He lowered his head and sniffed the back of Yu Tai's neck. His slightly deep voice sounded in her ear: "What spices did you use?"
If Yu Tai were a cat, the hair on the back of her neck would probably have stood up at this moment.
"Stay away from me." Yu Tai said bluntly.
Logically speaking, Jiang Li was an inner disciple of Zuiyin Sect, and Yu Tai, who wanted to go to the upper realm, should have been patient and made friends with him. But for some reason, she didn't want to get close to Jiang Li from the first time she saw him.
There was something about him that made Yu Tai feel uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Jiang Li's life didn't have the words "obey and follow orders". Instead of staying away from Yu Tai, he even moved closer and repeated his question: "What spices did you use?"
It seemed as if if Yu Tai didn't answer him, he would keep asking until the end of time.
“I don’t use spices.”
Hearing this, Jiang Li's eyes flashed with doubt.
Without using any spices, where does that nice smell come from?
Seeing that person stopped and stood behind him, Yu Tai took the opportunity to throw his sword and leap forward. He said to Jiang Li, who seemed to be in a daze, "Play by yourself. I don't have time."
Then flew away.
Yu Tai breathed a sigh of relief after turning around to confirm that Jiang Li hadn't caught up.
He's really troublesome. Let's find a chance to kill him.
System: [Calculations show... the host has a 10% chance of defeating him.]
Yu Tai sarcastically asked, "Did you use the remaining 90% to investigate Jiang Li, this character who appeared out of nowhere?"
The system is silent.
Landing outside the cave, Yu Tai checked the magic circle.
I haven't seen the little thief who destroyed the magic circle these days. It seems that he is not a brave person.
But after hiding for the past few days, it’s time for him to show up.
As she was thinking, she was about to undo the magic circle when she heard a voice from behind: "You live here?"
Yu Tai's heart skipped a beat and he looked back suddenly.
The young man in black had been standing behind her and watching her for an unknown period of time, and was now staring at Yu Tai without blinking.
She was a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but she didn't even sense the boy's aura at all.
Giving him a wary look, Yu Tai said, "Yes, I live here. Do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
"Then let's do it." Jiang Li nodded and raised his foot to walk inside.
Yu Tai:?
I doubt he was driving.
System: [Be more confident and put aside your doubts!]
Quickly darting into the cave, Yu Tai reopened the magic circle. Looking at Jiang Li, who was blocked outside the door, Yu Tai curled her lips into a smile, her bright eyes curved in a way that made people's hearts tremble: "I was just kidding, you fool."
Then he turned around in a very happy mood.
Who knew that as he turned around, he heard a loud roar and the sound of something shattering behind him.
Yu Tai turned around and clearly saw the whole process of the magic circle that had accompanied the original owner for many years shattering. The murderer retracted his fist and walked in and said to her with a cold and serious face: "I'm not a fool."
Grass. (a type of plant)
