Chapter 121 I said my name is Ye Xuanzhi
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned their attention to the woman, all showing expressions of surprise.
Cai Zu is actually going to take on disciples?
Although the girl is indeed exceptionally talented, able to dodge the Second Elder's attack at such a young age, the man beside her is clearly more powerful in comparison.
Moreover... that man was carrying some extraordinary high-grade magical artifacts all over his body, which could be the work of some reclusive master.
Cai Hua's smile was as beautiful as a peony in the spring breeze. Ignoring the expressions of the people behind her, she stepped into the air and landed above the giant pool in the Lingyu region where a fierce battle was taking place.
They are blind. Although the man is very much to her liking, how can he compare to this young girl?
In the midst of the chaotic battle, the surging waves of true energy blinded everyone. Just as Mu Jianjian and Wuhen held their breath, a slender hand touched the shoulder of the man in black robes.
"Second Elder, that's enough."
Mu Jianjian watched as the woman in the brightly colored dress walked towards her with her left hand on her hip and her right hand holding a gray object that looked like a pipe. With just one sentence, she made the man in the black robe not dare to move.
The woman wore heavy makeup, and her delicate, upturned eyes seemed out of place in her surroundings, as if she were there for a fashion show.
So beautiful...
She slightly widened her eyes, watching the woman walk up to her, exhaling smoke. "Come with me."
The unique fragrance of a woman mingled with the white smoke and permeated the air, creating a sticky atmosphere that matched her temperament.
——
This was a path that Mu Jianjian had never imagined.
After the chaotic battle at the giant pool in the Lingyu region, she originally intended to exchange many rotten fruits for the qualification of an inner disciple, but unexpectedly she was directly accepted as a disciple by Cai Hua, while Wuhen was favored by another elder.
The Second Elder and Chong Honglian seemed to have vanished without a trace. She stayed in Cai Hua's inner garden for several days, but neither of them came to cause her any trouble.
In public, Mu Jianjian had to pretend to be "so happy and lucky," but in private, she inquired about information about potions that could improve cultivation.
Fortunately, after Cai Hua took her as his disciple, he simply left her aside, and her freedom was not restricted.
Yes, plan works.
At least by infiltrating the inner garden of Jingxu Garden, one can do whatever one wants within a limited scope.
Three days later, late at night.
Mu Jianjian counted the spirit stones she had earned from selling rotten fruit in her room under the lamplight. Remembering Cai Hua's instruction this morning that she should go to her inner courtyard to cultivate tomorrow, she immediately decided to investigate the matter of potions after she finished counting the spirit stones.
"Do you think I should wear a night suit if I'm already wearing a human skin mask?" she asked the system.
[Night clothes?]
"It's the black clothes that assassins and thieves usually wear in TV dramas," Mu Jianjian began to convince herself. "I can just wear them like that and blend into the night!"
system:……
It didn't say anything.
Mu Jianjian changed into a human skin mask again, and with double insurance, she affixed a Qi-condensing talisman to herself before slowly making her way towards the Gu Poison Hall in Jingxu Garden.
In the past few days, she had already taken advantage of her status to thoroughly explore the entire Jingxu Garden. Under the moonlight, she quietly landed on the second-floor eaves of the Gu Poison Hall, gently climbed over the window, and landed silently.
Unlike the Xuan Shuang Sect's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall, which had a faint herbal fragrance, the Gu Poison Hall's shelves were filled with bottles of Gu worms. Different dark liquids enveloped and soaked the worms, and the bottles were sealed so well that no smell escaped.
Mu Jianjian suddenly had the illusion that she was in a haunted house, and almost dropped and broke a medicine bottle as she backed away.
She poked her head out of the window, glanced at the disciples guarding the door with lingering fear, then returned to the hall and looked up at the second floor.
If the first floor is full of Gu worms, they might be on the second floor.
Using the dark brown pillars, she climbed to the pitch-black second floor. Just in case, she began to use her pupil technique. A faint golden light flickered in her vision, and Mu Jianjian knew something was wrong.
Someone's there!
Let's knock him out first!
Without hesitation, she followed the lines and outlines drawn in her eyes and reached directly behind the tall man. Just as her hand was about to strike his neck, the man seemed to have anticipated this and turned around in a swift motion, catching her off guard.
Both seemed to be holding back, neither making a sound to call for help, and they began a "long-distance confrontation".
Mu Jianjian was annoyed by the other party's slippery, muddy movements, and when she saw that he remained silent, she knew what kind of person he was.
We're in the same industry!
"Fellow Daoist, we can split the cost of any treasures we find 50/50."
Before Mu Jianjian could even use her skillful words to persuade the other party to "cease hostilities," she unexpectedly heard a low-pitched voice say the same thing.
Mu Jianjian: ?
What the hell?
Why does her voice sound so similar to Wuhen's? Don't think she can't tell just because you're using a different tone of voice!
"Without a trace?" she exclaimed, noticing that the other person's body in the shadows had clearly stopped.
"Yuanyuan." As if resigned to her fate, the person emerged from the shadows into the room in the moonlight streaming through the wooden window, her expression helpless as she came into view.
"Life is full of unexpected encounters," she said, walking up to Wuhen with great sorrow, clutching her chest, her voice filled with emotion, "You actually hit your brother just now!"
"Yuanyuan, you were the one who attacked first." Wuhen was very hurt.
Mu Jianjian gasped, "Where's Bai Tuan?"
"Whitey? You still care about Whitey after I hit you a few times?" Wuhen said incredulously. "Every time there's danger, Whitey runs away faster than I do. Tonight was no exception; it didn't move an inch in the room."
The two met in the dark, acting like they were stealing chickens. Surprisingly, her first focus was on the white ball.
Mu Jianjian looked up at Wuhen again, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Wuhen waited quietly for the barrage of questions from the other party, but unexpectedly, the girl said...
"What are you planning to steal? Do you need your bro to cover for you?" The voice was extremely sincere.
No Trace: ...
"Why can't brothers be more honest with each other?" He shrugged.
She knew perfectly well that she wasn't there to steal anything.
Mu Jianjian didn't understand the other person's question, which sounded somewhat aggrieved, "Wuhen...you didn't even tell me your real name—"
You didn't even tell your brothers!
Neither of them revealed their real names to the other, and their relationship was merely a series of coincidences where they met and partnered up a few times.
"Ye Xuanzhi".
Before the girl could finish speaking, she heard a smile appear on the other end of the line, and three words were uttered.
"Huh?" She didn't react in time. Even though she had guessed the man's identity before, she was still extremely incredulous when he actually admitted it.
“I said my name is Ye Xuanzhi.”
Seemingly sensing that the girl hadn't heard him clearly, the man leaned down and spoke slowly, his warm breath wafting over her. The red silk bell hanging around his neck shimmered with a faint light, and the scene centered on the bell appeared somewhat illusory.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xuanzhi's original black hair gradually turned white. His dark eyes appeared even darker against the backdrop of white hair, and his handsome features exuded a cold aura, yet the upturned lips added a touch of sexiness.
The bright moonlight shone through the wooden window and fell on the man's head, shining into Mu Jianjian's eyes, making him look like a moon goddess descended to earth.
