Chapter 168
But until the end, Lin Qingshuang did not get a single explanation from that person. She did not know who that person was, what his identity was, what his name was, or even whether he was a human or a ghost, let alone whether he was an enemy or a friend.
She was very panicked, worried that the man would reveal the fact that she was reborn, but she soon discovered that the man didn't care about her at all.
He just told her that if she wanted to improve her cultivation and ascend to the upper realm in the shortest possible time, she had to listen to him obediently. Otherwise, if he could choose her to be the owner of the bracelet, he could naturally change it to a new owner.
It was only this bracelet that was recognized as the owner, not him.
However, due to the seal, his consciousness can only rely on the power of the bracelet to remain in the lower world for the time being.
Lin Qingshuang still felt unwilling when she heard these words. She didn't understand why this person was willing to spend so much effort to save her and teach her, but why he had such an indescribable hostility towards her?
Under normal circumstances, Lin Qingshuang might not have been so passive, but at this moment her mind was extremely confused and she couldn't analyze any important clues at all.
And now she was caught off guard by the news that person suddenly told her, and the other party's cold and bored attitude made her usual calm and rationality disappear into the distance.
At this moment, there was only one most important thought in her mind, which was who was this person?
She originally thought that she was blessed by God and had finally obtained the divine weapon, but she didn't expect that God was playing a joke on her and she has been under the control of this man from the beginning.
This person must have had a purpose in helping her to be reborn. She was not a fool, but she had no way of knowing that purpose. Now she only knew that the person was mysterious and powerful, and could even go back in time, which showed how powerful he was.
She may not have the ability to resist that person at all, so she can only rely on him, and also in front of this mysterious man who helped her return to the past.
The memories and advantages of her past life were all useless, which made her feel uneasy and panic-sticken.
…
On the other side, Feng Jixue searched for clues by constantly reading ancient books, and finally found a bamboo book engraved with the seal of the magic cultivation record in the library and found a way to understand the love pig.
The method to get rid of the insect is not difficult. It only requires that the man and woman be in communion with each other when they form a marriage contract, and fill each other's bodies with spiritual power. Then, a drop of blood from between the brows of the beloved can be used to lure the insect out of the heart.
The method is not difficult, but the difficult part is that they need to be able to communicate with each other's minds when they make the vow. He can do this. He is a love-sick person. No matter he knows whether the vow is true or not, he and Yanyan will be able to communicate with each other's minds.
But if he told Yanyan about this in advance, she would definitely make a fuss, especially since their relationship became close. He also knew that this little sister would be the most unreasonable when she made a fuss. By then, let alone helping him, maybe in the end, she would not even want to see him. This made Feng Jixue feel extremely conflicted. If he wanted to help her, he had to keep it a secret from her. But why did he have to do it when the two of them were forming a contract?
Making a covenant is no small matter... If on the day of the covenant, the junior sister found out that his kindness to her was all out of a lovesickness, would she be so sad that she would shed tears?
Thinking of this, Feng Jixue developed an unprecedented aversion to the matter of freeing the insect. He wondered if it was the insect that was influencing him?
But this matter obviously cannot wait much longer and cannot be delayed any longer. The main reason is that in recent times, Feng Jixue has discovered that the influence of the love pig on him has become more and more profound.
The longer it dragged on, the weaker his desire to free the love pig became. Sometimes he even thought that it was okay to be controlled by the love pig.
Whenever it was late at night and there was no one around, Feng Jixue would be awakened by this nod in his mind, and after that he would find it difficult to concentrate, with his mind completely focused on this matter.
His mind was struggling and confused, and he could hardly control himself. This situation was most serious when he was with Yanyan.
Every time she touched him without any scruples, he had the urge to get entangled with her regardless of the consequences. He wanted to be close to his junior sister more and more, and to touch her skin. All kinds of thoughts would emerge in his mind, those imaginative images, and those shameful things, and even his thoughts gradually became confused.
Even during his sword practice on weekdays, he couldn't concentrate. However, after not seeing her for just one day, his mind would be filled with the smile and figure of his junior sister, leaving him completely powerless to resist.
No... I really can't go on like this.
If the love-sucking snake is not untied, he is afraid that he will do more irrational things because of his junior sister. The original double-petal flower mark on his chest has now become six petals.
Lovesickness is moved by love, so the marks rarely appear normally. But if he is with Yanyan, when his emotions fluctuate a little, the marks will appear faintly on his chest skin, and the color will become more and more crimson.
In fact, up to now, he has long been unable to tell whether his feelings for his junior sister were influenced by a love-sick man or came from his true heart.
But if he doesn't break free of this puppet-like control, he will be unwilling for the rest of his life. How can he be truly together with his junior sister without any grudges?
So even though his heart was filled with complicated conflicts, Feng Jixue finally chose to understand Gu, which meant that he would deceive Yanyan. Thinking of this result, his heart trembled slightly.
He didn't know what his state would be like after understanding the love dragon, and he didn't know what Yanyan's reaction would be if she knew that he formed a bond with her just to get rid of the relationship controlled by the love dragon.
He didn't even dare to think about it...
But he can compensate her. Even after he unties the love pig, he will stay by her side as before and will not let anyone bully her.
Thinking of this, Feng Jixue finally made the decision in his heart. Perhaps because he felt guilty, he became more doting on his junior sister. As if to make up for what would happen in the future, he indulged her almost without any bottom line.
Nan Yan was confused by this level of unbridled indulgence. She felt that her eldest senior brother seemed to have come to his senses recently and could say nice things to coax her. He no longer liked to lecture people with a stern face like before.
Sometimes he would even take her to the market at the foot of the mountain to play, buy her all kinds of robes and hair accessories, and all kinds of colorful headbands, and then braid her hair into a different color every day, which made Nan Yan very happy, so she would be more enthusiastic when tormenting her senior brother.
But there were also strange times when her senior brother would stare at her and occasionally become absent-minded.
Sometimes he would look at her with an unnatural gaze, and then when she looked away, he would pretend to be calm and look away.
Nan Yan was teasing him at first. After pretending to turn her head away, she quickly turned her head when the other person was not paying attention and caught the man's sight.
Then she laughed and threw herself into the other's arms, mocking her eldest senior brother who was already so old but still looked at people secretly like those young people in the mortal world. If he wanted to look, he could just look openly. She didn't mind.
Her senior brother shook his head and laughed, but he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, so tightly that Nan Yan couldn't breathe for several times. Then he stretched out his hand to pinch her white jade earlobe and whispered shameless words in her ear.
This made her beautiful senior brother, who was as cold and lonely as the snow on the top of a mountain, blush suddenly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and a trace of annoyance appeared in his eyes, but he could do nothing about her.
In the end, he could only lower his head and actively kiss her cheek. His slightly cold lips bit her neck hard with a sense of punishment, moving slowly upwards, finely and densely.
It seemed as if he wanted to completely block her rosy little mouth that kept opening and closing, making her unable to utter a word. In the end, she could only make a few sporadic sounds.
But I have to say that as time goes by, her senior brother's kissing skills have improved a lot. Maybe people with high talents can learn things quickly.
In fact, Nan Yan also noticed this man's abnormality.
Nan Yan didn't care about this at all. She even wondered calmly in her heart whether this man had found a way to understand the love pig, otherwise why would he feel inexplicably guilty when facing her?
Nan Yan didn't think too much about it. Anyway, that day would come sooner or later, so she was not in a hurry.
Recently, there have been some major events in the sect. First, the outer disciple who was accidentally whipped by the eldest senior sister got half of the opportunity from the Qingxu Secret Realm, and after a thorough cleansing of his bones and marrow, he was finally reborn.
Finally, he was accepted as an inner disciple by Elder Qingfeng, and instantly became a core member of the inner sect from a mere disciple of the outer sect.
There is also the eldest senior sister whose cultivation level suddenly increased dramatically. This is truly astonishing. The eldest senior sister whose cultivation level had been stagnant finally broke through years of self-imprisonment some time ago. She advanced two levels in two months and is now in the middle stage of the Golden Core, only one small level away from the eldest senior brother.
When people heard the news, they were all amazed and sighed. How could ordinary people achieve such a talent?
To break through two levels within two months, this speed of cultivation was something they had only seen in storybooks.
To be honest, even the rarest geniuses in the world of cultivation would find it difficult to achieve a rapid breakthrough in such a short period of time while maintaining stability and not regressing. This is truly not an easy task.
So while everyone was amazed, they were also confused, wondering how the master sister did it.
When others wanted to ask about it, Senior Sister Pian just said that all they had to do was practice diligently, and that all improvements in their cultivation were the result of gradual accumulation. If one indulged in playfulness and refused to work hard, then even if the opportunity was good, one would not be able to make a breakthrough.
It is true to say so, but there are many people in the sect who practice diligently. Who can achieve such a speed of practice?
But when they wanted to ask more, the senior sister refused to answer. In the end, everyone came to only one conclusion: maybe talent is still the most important.
Ever since the eldest senior sister broke through two realms in succession, everyone could clearly feel that their eldest senior sister's temperament seemed to have changed a little, becoming more and more indifferent.
No matter how cold-tempered the eldest senior sister was in the past, she would never ignore her fellow disciples. Sometimes when she felt like it, she would go out on missions with the sect's fellow disciples. But now, the eldest senior sister always has a sense of superiority and alienation when facing them.
Especially after the sect mission was completed two days ago, the eldest senior sister actually brought back a male cultivator from outside, a black-robed man with gorgeous appearance, cold temperament, and mysterious identity.
According to the eldest senior sister, she was besieged by evil cultivators when she was dealing with a monster at the foot of the mountain. It was this fellow Taoist who appeared in front of her and saved her. In the end, he generously pointed out some flaws in her cultivation method. That’s why the eldest senior sister brought this person back to the sect, hoping that he could stay in the sect for a while.
Naturally, everyone has no doubts about this explanation.
After all, although the male cultivator's identity was mysterious, there was not a trace of demonic aura on him, and there was no reaction when he entered the sect's formation, so that person was definitely not a demon cultivator.
And the male cultivator did not do anything else after entering the sect. He stayed inseparable from the senior sister all day long. He did not wander around in the sect, but was quiet like an ice sculpture.
Different from the cold and aloof attitude of the eldest senior brother, the indifference of the male cultivator carried a kind of condescending disdain. Perhaps all cultivators with high cultivation levels all had this aura.
He hardly ever spoke to anyone in the sect, and was too lazy to even look anyone in the eye. He had an expressionless face all day long, and exuded a cold and indifferent aura that made people feel that he was not easy to mess with.
Now, that man regarded himself as the companion of the eldest senior sister and temporarily lived in the yard next to her. However, the sect also spread the news quietly, saying that the man might be the Taoist partner chosen by the eldest senior sister after she came down the mountain.
Others didn't know who that person was, so how could Nan Yan not know? However, she really didn't know what it meant for Jing Wuyan to suddenly show up and appear in the sect as a senior sister Taoist friend?
After all, she had been busy cultivating her relationship with her beautiful senior brother recently, and didn't care about the rumors in the sect.
But the world is so unpredictable. She tried her best not to cause trouble, but some troubles still happened to her out of her control.
The cause of the incident was a mature Red Sun Ice Silk Grass. The younger junior sister and Senior Sister Lin both took a fancy to the Red Sun Grass. The younger junior sister took a fancy to it first, but the senior sister paid the spirit stones first. In the end, neither of them was willing to give in, so they started arguing. Later, the younger junior sister was quick and wanted to grab the Red Sun Ice Silk Grass, but accidentally broke the root stem. The ice silk melted, and the Red Sun Grass lost its effectiveness.
This really stirred up a hornet's nest. The two of them had completely fallen out over this matter. Not only that, the younger sister somehow offended the fellow Taoist next to the older sister, and now she has been detained by the other party, who refuses to let her go easily.
When Feng Jixue heard the news, he had almost no time to deal with the things at hand. He turned around and immediately rushed to the market at the foot of the mountain.
As soon as he arrived, he saw the little sister who was usually so lively in front of him being bullied, tears streaming down her face. Her face was slightly red, and she looked extremely aggrieved, but she was stubborn and refused to let the tears fall, her eyes fixed on the black-robed monk in front of her.
The atmosphere between the two people seemed a little strange.
Feng Jixue could clearly feel that the male cultivator had no ill will towards his junior sister. At this moment, he even felt that his junior sister was more hostile towards the male cultivator.
Although the male cultivator held Yanyan's wrist tightly, his strength was not extremely strong, and the aura around him was calm and gentle. There was no murderous intent between his eyebrows. He just looked coldly at the person in front of him, as if he was saying something.
The male cultivator was a fellow cultivator that Junior Sister Lin met when she was on a mission at the foot of the mountain. Logically, Junior Sister should have nothing to do with him, and no one knew what had caused the dispute between the two.
When Feng Jixue saw this scene, he vaguely felt something was wrong and frowned slightly. He subconsciously walked towards the two of them and directly interrupted the confrontation between them.
"Yan Yan..."
He shouted directly at Nan Yan.
When they heard the sound, they both turned their heads.
Seeing the person coming, Nan Yan's expression became more aggrieved. If her wrist hadn't been held by the person, she would have immediately dived into the other person's arms.
Feng Jixue didn't sense any murderous intent from the male cultivator at first, but when he walked over, the aura emanating from the male cultivator suddenly became much colder.
This made Feng Jixue frown silently.
Her eyes met the cold gaze of the male cultivator and she asked in a calm voice, "I don't know how my little sister has offended you. I will take responsibility for anything that happens. Please let her go first. You have been holding her for a long time."
Jing Wuyan snorted lightly, looking coldly at the pretentious little girl in front of him, his voice becoming colder and colder, "Bear it? Can you bear it? This Red Sun Grass that I finally found was almost broken by this ignorant little girl from your sect. This made it impossible for me to cure my old illness. Shouldn't I seek justice from her?"
When he said this, he loosened his grip on her wrist and shook it off directly.
Nan Yan was so angry at him that her breathing became unstable and her chest rose and fell slightly. In her heart, she was thinking that this man spoke so righteously, but in fact he just disliked her and wanted to find a legitimate excuse to give her a beating.
Previously, when they were at the foot of the mountain, she couldn't resist, but now that she had a backer, Nan Yan's expression immediately became more aggrieved. She turned around and plunged her head into the broad chest of her eldest senior brother, looking pitiful as if she had been badly bullied.
He quietly fanned the flames, "Brother, they teamed up to bully me. I was the first one to see the Red Sun Grass, but I was a step late, so they snatched it away. Later, they had to teach me a lesson..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Jing Wuyan on the opposite side glance at her expressionlessly.
Those eyes were calm, yet very cold.
Nan Yan inexplicably felt a chill on the back of her neck. In fact, this man had never bullied her. In fact, when she had an argument with Senior Sister Lin, Senior Sister Lin was annoyed by her sharp tongue and subconsciously raised her sword to teach her a lesson, but that man suddenly came out to stop her.
But so what?
Who made this person draw a clear line between himself and her now?
Jing Wuyan sneered, as if with disdain, "If I really wanted to bully you, do you think you would still be alive now?"
He didn't know what was wrong with him today. Why did he have to keep pestering this person?
Maybe he simply didn't like that girl. When the little girl saw him in the market just now, she pretended not to know him. Not only did she steal his Red Sun Grass, she also broke the roots and refused to admit her mistake.
He lifted his eyelids slightly, and his eyes indifferently swept across the back of the dark head of the little girl. She looked stern and cold when facing him, but she was particularly obedient in the arms of her senior brother. She even pretended to complain about his evil deeds with resentment, as if he had done something terrible to her.
If he really did something bad to her, would she still dare to be so arrogant and willful in front of him? You ignorant little girl.
Thinking of this, Jing Wuyan's mood, which had originally been calm, became a little turbulent.
On the other side, Feng Jixue did not listen to the one-sided words of his junior sister. He knew that his junior sister rarely suffered any loss. This girl was sometimes too willful. Although he tolerated her, he would not protect her indiscriminately. If she was wrong, he would naturally compensate her and apologize.
So Feng Jixue asked other disciples present in detail about what happened, and only then did he find out that it was indeed the junior sister who saw the Red Sun Grass first, but she was hesitant and had not made up her mind. It was at this time that the Taoist friend entrusted Junior Sister Lin to pay the spirit stone first. Afterwards, the junior sister was so angry that she rushed forward to snatch it, but accidentally destroyed the Red Sun Grass.
When hearing this, Feng Jixue frowned unconsciously. The Red Sun Grass is actually not precious, but that is not an ordinary Red Sun Grass, but a mutated Red Sun Ice Silk Grass.
It was mixed with a pile of red sun grass by an ignorant stall owner and sold as ordinary spiritual plants, which led to this dispute.
Now the Red Sun Grass has been destroyed by Junior Sister. After the rhizome was broken, the ice silk melted and the mutated Ice Silk Grass lost its effectiveness. It is useless to worry about who came first.
Feng Jixue was silent for a moment, then held the man in his arms, and then said calmly, "I'm sorry, my sister is young and ignorant, and she offended you, I apologize to you on her behalf today. But since the Red Sun Grass has been destroyed, there is no way to make up for it. Although the Red Sun Grass is hard to find, it is not as precious as the Fire Essence Stone. Since you have an old illness, I will use this Fire Essence Stone as compensation. What do you think?"
The Fire Essence Stone has the same properties as the Red Sun Grass, and is even more precious and rare. This kind of compensation is definitely not a loss.
This should have been the best solution, but Jing Wuyan glanced coldly at the two intimate people, and saw that the girl was lying quietly in her senior brother's arms, raising her head to glare at him from time to time.
Jing Wuyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the aura around him instantly became much colder. Then he said lightly,
"Nothing."
The cold and indifferent voice instantly made the surroundings quieter.
Jing Wuyan raised his eyelids and said, "Since she ruined it, let her come here and kowtow and admit her fault. Who are you to her? Why should she apologize on her behalf?"
Nan Yan couldn't help but grit her teeth when she heard this. It would be fine if he just admitted his mistake, but he even wanted her to kowtow and admit her mistake. This bastard was clearly taking revenge on her and making things difficult for her.
Nan Yan gritted her teeth in hatred, but her face showed an expression of anger and aggrievedness. She just lay in her senior brother's arms, pretending to be pitiful, trying to gain sympathy and fan the flames.
"Brother... I'm right, it's their fault..."
When Feng Jixue heard this, his eyes instantly turned colder. He didn't know whether this man was targeting him on purpose or was really angry. Otherwise, how could he not even take the Fire Essence Stone, but instead wanted Yanyan to kowtow to him and admit her mistake?
"Why do you have to be so aggressive, fellow Taoist?"
The other person was wearing a dark robe, with cold eyes. Hearing his words, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of sneer, "You do pamper her, pampering her to be so lawless and reckless, she has no guilt when she makes mistakes, and she doesn't even have the courage to kowtow and admit her mistakes. You can protect her for a while, but in the future, if you are not by her side, who can protect her like this for the rest of her life?"
The last few sentences were ambiguous, and the voice was low and unclear whether he was mocking or angry.
The eldest senior brother didn't think too much about it and simply ignored the strangeness in his tone. A faint frown appeared between his brows and he looked at the man with a slightly cold gaze, "So, you mean, Daoist friend, you must not get involved today?"
Jing Wuyan's eyes were dim, "So what?"
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere around them instantly became depressing and solidified. It was obvious that the two men were confronting each other.
In the past, Jing Wuyan's cultivation had not recovered and he could only show up in front of Nan Yan. Now, with the improvement of Lin Qingshuang's cultivation, the Qiankun bracelet was nourished by her spiritual energy and its power was slowly recovering. Up to now, his cultivation had also recovered by two or three levels.
Although it is not as good as when he was in the upper realm, it is much better than when he just woke up from the Qiankun bracelet.
He could have clearly hidden himself in the Qiankun bracelet with a secret identity, but he didn't know why he asked Lin Qingshuang to get him a legitimate identity as a cultivator. In the end, he pretended to be a fellow Taoist and lived in their sect openly.
He originally thought that the girl would be surprised and curious when she heard the news, and might come to him to ask for clarification, asking him whether he had other purposes in joining their sect. However, such a long time had passed, and the stinky girl had never come to see her once.
Even if I meet him on weekdays, I have to pretend not to see him.
He didn't know why he was so abnormal today, especially when he saw the girl joking around with others for a few spirit stones in the market just now. He couldn't help but think of the time when she cheated him. He asked Lin Qingshuang to buy the Red Sun Grass, but he didn't know that the little girl also took a fancy to it, and was so bold that she started an argument with others without knowing her own limitations.
A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dared to confront a senior sister who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and finally even reached out to grab it. If he hadn't appeared in time to protect her, the girl's arm might have been cut in half. But what was the result?
Before he could even say a word of thanks, he was slapped away by the other party. Then he watched as the little girl turned around without hesitation and threw herself into the arms of her eldest senior brother, still telling all his dirty deeds and accusing him of teaming up with others to bully her.
Haha... this little girl is so heartless.
He has no conscience at all.
Especially when she threw herself into her senior brother's arms without hesitation, Jing Wuyan clearly felt a strange emotion surging in his chest, as if he was stabbed by something, making him unable to control the aura around him and wanting to rush up and grab her back.
It was also at this moment that Feng Jixue clearly felt the murderous intent of the man opposite him. It was not directed at anyone else, nor at Yanyan, but obviously at him.
But when had he ever offended him?
Feng Jixue frowned, then turned around, let go of Nan Yan from his arms, and turned to look at her.
The eldest senior brother raised his hand and drew the long sword from his waist. His temperament became even colder. He was dressed in snow-white clothes and black hair, and he looked like an immortal. He was not at all weak against Jing Wuyan's momentum. "I can naturally protect my people for the rest of my life. Don't bother you worrying about this matter."
As soon as the words fell, I saw the man opposite me calm down, and the smile on his face became colder, "Really? Then why not give it a try and see if you can protect her from me today?":,,.
