"Let's go find a place to chat!" Ye Chenge pulled Yan Ying and was about to walk out of the house.
"Senior Sister, I..."
"Call me sister!"
Cen Ji ignored Yan Ying's look that seemed to be asking for help, turned around and didn't look at her.
Yan Ying was dragged out of the wooden house.
......
"Have you tested your spiritual roots?"
Yan Ying was carried by Ye Chenge and flew to the roof of Xuanqing Palace. At this time, the two of them were sitting on the roof leaning against the tiles.
Yan Ying nodded. "It's the Thunder Spiritual Root."
Ye Chenge turned his head in disbelief. "Thunder Spiritual Root, single-attribute Thunder Spiritual Root?"
"Yeah." Yan Ying nodded again.
"That's really strange. Fortunately, I picked you up, otherwise you would have been taken away by the Xuanting Immortal Sect." Ye Chenge took out two jars of aged wine from his Qiankun bag.
"Sister, is the Xuan Ting Immortal Sect really that powerful? I've heard Master mention it as well." Yan Ying asked casually. Why did everyone seem to be so afraid of the Xuan Ting Immortal Sect?
"Xuan Ting Xianmen advocates attacking first, and the sect leader has a thunder spirit root, so Xuan Ting Xianmen only recruits disciples with thunder spirit roots. However, thunder spirit roots are rare, so Xuan Ting Xianmen should have no more than ten disciples in total."
"Also, I heard that Xuan Ting Immortal Sect hasn't been able to recruit a single spiritual root cultivator in recent years. If they find you, they might come and rob you." Ye Chenge explained slowly.
"And Xuanting Immortal Sect ranks second among the five major sects. Relying solely on offensive magic, they are able to secure this second place. Even though they don't have many disciples, all of them are masters."
"I also heard that Xuan Ting Xianmen has a life and death arena. They don't care about the life and death of the disciples. They only want capable strong people, and the weak can only be stepping stones."
Yan Ying blinked her eyes and frowned. It sounded like the Xuan Ting Immortal Sect did not follow the moral code of martial arts.
A life-and-death contest, so if you lose, you die.
Hiss, so scary.
"Here, have a drink with me!"
Yan Ying took the wine jar. She was still a child, so she shouldn't be able to drink alcohol...
"Try it." Ye Chenge smiled as he looked at the wine jar in Yan Ying's hand. "You loved drinking this when you were a kid."
Yan Ying opened the jar of wine, and a fragrant aroma of wine entered her nose.
Yan Ying closed her eyes and took a sip, but it didn't taste as spicy as she had imagined. Instead, it tasted sour and sweet, with just a hint of alcohol.
"Is this wine? It tastes so good!" Yan Ying looked at Ye Chenge with shining eyes.
"This is apricot wine. I used to bring a few jars with me when I traveled down the mountain. I brewed a lot of it. I thought I would find you and let you drink enough at once." Ye Chenge smiled brightly, opened the jar in his hand, raised his head and took a sip of the wine in the jar.
"Little dirty boy, how have you been these past few years? How has the Sect Master treated you?"
"I'm doing well, and my master and brothers are also very good to me."
Ye Chenge nodded. As long as he lived well, that was enough. She was still afraid that her little dirty boy would be wronged.
"Then...what's going on with Cen Ji? I heard that you hated him before, why are you suddenly helping him?" Ye Chenge stared at Yan Ying with a pair of upturned eyes.
"He..." Yan Ying didn't know how to explain. The original owner did cause trouble for Cen Ji every day, but after she came, she suddenly started to protect Cen Ji everywhere.
"I just felt so sorry for him that I didn't want to bully him anymore."
"Oh? Really?" Ye Chenge moved closer to Yan Ying and looked at her with disbelief.
Yan Ying looked at Ye Chenge who was so close to her and nodded with a vague look in her eyes.
"Just believe it yourself," Ye Chenge said with a smile. "But, little bastard, your reputation in the sect isn't very good. I heard you're obsessed with fun, not striving for progress, and ruining the sect's reputation..."
Yan Ying was really troubled. The original owner was indeed this kind of person.
"It's true that I was fond of fun, but I don't admit that I brought disgrace upon our family." The original owner was indeed uneducated, but apart from liking to torture Cen Ji, he had never done anything out of the ordinary.
"You're just greedy for fun, but that doesn't seem plausible. Your cultivation has already reached the Golden Core stage, while I wasn't even at the Foundation Establishment stage at your age."
"You'd better not let me hear those gossips again, otherwise I will pull out their tongues." Ye Chenge said lightly.
How could her little dirty girl be as the rumors said? It must have been made up by those disciples.
Yan Ying looked at Ye Chenge beside her. She should be an aloof person, but she didn't expect that she was obsessed with looks. Her eyes were tearful when she looked at Yan Ying.
"Sister, how did you pick me up in the first place?" Yan Ying asked.
"You really don't remember?"
"It was a pitch-black night. My fellow apprentices and I had just captured the monsters and were looking for an inn..." Ye Chenge raised his arm and began to describe the story vividly.
Yan Ying held her chin and listened carefully. She finally understood that Ye Chenge had kidnapped the original owner on the street. She thought the original owner was a beggar because he was dirty, and she didn't even ask whether the original owner had any family.
The original owner was eight years old at that time and should have been able to remember things.
If there are family members, they will know that you are crying.
But...was the original owner really a homeless child?
【System: Not necessarily.】
“…”
The sky gradually darkened. Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Chenge jumped to the ground with Yan Ying in his arms.
"Okay, go back and rest early."
Ye Chenge touched Yan Ying's head and was about to leave.
"Junior Sister!"
Wu Lin ran over from the front, panting.
"Where did you go? It's hard for me to find you."
