Shen Zihan chose carefully and finally bought a spiritual guide needle for determining direction.
She explained, "The Tianheng Mountains are too vast. We are not familiar with the area. If we set foot there rashly, we will probably get lost. With the Spirit Guiding Needle, we won't be afraid of getting lost.
Besides pointing the way, this spirit needle can also sense the aura of monsters within a certain range and can be used to detect the movements of monsters."
Meng Wan nodded in agreement, "Zi Han is right. The Tianheng Mountains are fraught with dangers, so we really need to be cautious."
After buying the Soul-Guiding Needle, Shen Zihan dragged Meng Wan to the teahouse, saying that she wanted to inquire about the situation.
She whispered to Meng Wan, "Teahouses are a mixed bag, but they're a good place to get information. However, some of this information is true, and some is false, so you need to carefully distinguish it."
Meng Wan nodded, as if she had taken her words to heart, and pricked up her ears to gather useful information.
"Have you heard? Another foundation-building monster has appeared on the outskirts of the Tianheng Mountains. Many people who entered the mountains in the past few days have suffered."
"The reason this foundation-building monster appeared is because someone discovered a thousand-year-old spiritual herb, which attracted the monsters to fight for it."
"That's not right. I heard that this incident was caused by a mysterious cave. This cave is very likely the cave of an ancient cultivator."
"Oh, this is obviously fake news. The area surrounding the Tianheng Mountains has been thoroughly searched by all the big and small forces in the city.
If there really was a cave dwelling of an ancient cultivator, it would have been discovered long ago, and would not have survived until today."
The tea went cold and was refilled. Meng Wan heard a piece of news whose truth was unclear, but it was confirmed that there were foundation-building monsters roaming around the outskirts of Tianheng Mountains.
After walking out of the teahouse with Shen Zihan, Meng Wan said worriedly.
"Something's been a bit unsettled lately. How about we go into the mountains a few days later?"
Shen Zihan thought so in her heart, but she looked relaxed.
"Those people are talking nonsense. The Tianheng Mountains are so huge, how could it be such a coincidence that we encountered a Foundation Establishment Realm monster when it was our turn to go up the mountain.
Don't worry, my brother is here to make sure you're safe!"
Meng Wan hesitated to speak, and finally said, "In any case, it's never too much to be careful."
Shen Zihan nodded, and after returning, she told Shen Zixuan the news she heard in the teahouse.
Shen Zixuan frowned slightly. "Those independent cultivators couldn't possibly know about the cave abode. Could it be that someone deliberately spread the news to take advantage of the situation?"
"It's possible."
Shen Zihan nodded seriously, "But it's not ruled out that someone accidentally guessed this. However, the appearance of the foundation-building monster beast is probably a coincidence."
Shen Zixuan thought for a moment, "According to the information we received from our clan, the cave will not be fully open until more than a month later.
Since there are Foundation Establishment monsters around, let's stay out of the spotlight for now and go up the mountain to investigate the situation later."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but frown.
I originally planned to get rid of Zhang Wan'er, this burden, in two days, but now it seems that it will take some time to get rid of her.
Seeing this, Shen Zihan immediately guessed what her brother was thinking and smiled maliciously.
"Brother, are you really not considering making her your sister-in-law? The other fairy sisters are too shrewd. They always ask me about the clan's news, but none of them are as easy to fool as Sister Wan'er!"
“Nonsense!”
Shen Zixuan glared at his sister and said, "Don't forget the purpose of our trip."
Shen Zihan, however, was not afraid at all, and directly said, "Mother has instructed that the ancient cave residence and the like are secondary. The main thing is to find you a sister-in-law!"
Shen Zixuan had a headache. "Didn't I say I haven't thought about it yet?"
"It's just a small matter. Is it necessary to think about it for so long? You've been thinking about it for a whole year!"
Shen Zihan snorted coldly, "Practice is like competing with others and competing with heaven. One step slow, every step slow! You have already wasted a year, do you want to continue wasting time?"
Having said that, he walked out angrily.
"etc!"
Seeing that Shen Zihan was really angry, Shen Zixuan sighed, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
"real?"
Shen Zihan looked at him doubtfully, "Didn't you say that Zhang Wan'er is not your type? Do you want to change to someone else?"
"No need, let's just have her."
Shen Zixuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no emotion in them.
Now that the decision has been made, it makes no difference to him whether it is Zhang Wan'er or someone else.
Moreover, Zhang Wan'er is indeed a suitable candidate. She has neither the arrogance of a fairy from an aristocratic family nor the shrewdness and materialism of a casual cultivator.
More importantly, she is weak and easy to control, and will not pose a threat to him.
Shen Zihan was very satisfied with the changes made by her brother, and her tone softened a little.
"Brother, I am your biological sister. I am doing this for your own good. Do you understand?"
"I know."
Hearing this, Shen Zixuan felt more and more guilty, and at the same time he had a plan in mind.
Since I can't go up the mountain these days, I can continue to gather information in the city, and by the way, cultivate feelings with Zhang Wan'er and completely win her over.
So the next day, Meng Wan keenly discovered that Shen Zixuan's attitude towards her had changed a little, and he even took the initiative to invite her out.
"Fairy Wan'er, I heard from Sister Han that the Tianheng Mountains are a little uneasy and it's not suitable to go up the mountain these days. Why don't we go out for a walk?
I know there are some small exchange meetings in the city, I wonder if you are interested in them."
Although she didn't understand why Shen Zixuan suddenly became so enthusiastic, Meng Wan didn't care and nodded with surprise.
"That's great! I was just worried about not having any connections in this area. It would be great if Fellow Daoist Shen could take me to the exchange meeting."
Having said that, she smiled embarrassedly.
"Maybe at the exchange meeting, I can encounter a spiritual object that can be useful to my father."
Shen Zixuan nodded slightly, "I thought so too. Let's go. Calculating the time, the exchange meeting is about to begin."
Meng Wan took a few steps and stopped with some confusion, "Zi Han isn't going?"
"She's not going, so it's just the two of us today."
As Shen Zixuan spoke, he observed Meng Wan's expression out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that her face was filled with more surprise, but she was trying hard to suppress it, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, and the look he gave her became more gentle.
After overcoming the hurdle in his heart, Shen Zixuan found that this kind of thing was not difficult at all.
He had been very popular among the nuns since he was young, and he knew what kind of appearance would most easily attract their favor.
Although Zhang Wan'er, a weak and docile female cultivator, was not his type, women, to put it bluntly, were just like that, some were plump and some were thin.
He is a decisive person. Now that he has made a decision, he will not hesitate but go straight to the point.
Thinking of this, Shen Zixuan looked at Meng Wan, his tone becoming more gentle.
"Isn't it just as well that Sister Han isn't going? What do you think, Fairy Wan'er?"
