Jiang Wubai looked at Jiang Lin and said, "Lin'er, I'll leave Sect Leader Ruan in your care while he's staying at the Burning Weapon Sect."
"Leave it to me with confidence," Jiang Lin assured him, patting his chest. "I'll prepare the most comfortable courtyard for the sect leader."
Ruan Xiyan clasped her hands in a fist salute to Jiang Wubai, "Sect Master Jiang, then I'll take the trouble to disturb you."
The condition of the Heaven and Earth Furnace was worse than she had thought. There was no immediate clue, so she could only stay there for a few more days to see if she could find a solution.
Jiang Lin led Ruan Xiyan and Luo Wanyin to a quiet courtyard.
"Sect Master, Elder Luo, please stay here for now. If you need anything, just let me know, and I will take care of it for you perfectly."
"Thank you for your hard work," Ruan Xiyan said.
Jiang Lin scratched the back of his head. "Sect Master, it's all what I should do."
After Jiang Lin left Ruan Xiyan and the others' residence, he saw Jiang Chuan standing not far away, as if he had been waiting for him there.
Jiang Lin paused for a moment, clenched his fists as they hung down, and walked over awkwardly.
"Big brother." Jiang Lin's voice was soft, but Jiang Chuan still heard it.
He glanced at his younger brother, whom he hadn't seen for over a year, with some surprise.
He used to never call him "big brother," always addressing him by his name, acting like a flustered little animal in front of him.
Things seemed to have changed after he went out. To be honest, he was good at handling matters related to the Burning Weapon Sect, but he couldn't understand his rebellious younger brother's thoughts at all.
"You weren't bullied while you were away, were you?" Jiang Chuan started a conversation, breaking the slightly awkward silence.
Jiang Lin shook his head and whispered, "Who would dare to bully me?"
"That's good. I heard from Father that you've become a disciple of the Illusionary Concealment Sect. It's good to go out and gain some experience. But since you're back this time, stay home for a few more days."
Jiang Lin nodded.
Jiang Chuan looked at Jiang Lin, not really knowing what to say. He wasn't good at dealing with these things, nor was he good at building relationships with others.
"It's getting late, you should get some rest." Jiang Chuan said, then turned and left.
Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment, then called out to him, "Big brother, wait a minute."
Jiang Chuan turned around, looking at Jiang Lin's hesitant expression, and asked with a puzzled look, "Is there something else, Second Brother?"
Jiang Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother, I'm sorry."
After saying the apology, Jiang Lin suddenly felt a sense of relief, and it didn't seem so difficult to say anymore.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan froze. "Why the sudden apology?"
Jiang Lin didn't expect Jiang Chuan to ask that. He touched the tip of his nose and said, "There's no reason why. I just remembered the awful things I did in the past. Just consider it a sudden realization."
Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you'd gotten into trouble again."
Jiang Lin's face darkened. It was as if he liked causing trouble. But he did always cause trouble in the past, and his older brother would always have to clean up his messes. No wonder he was almost traumatized.
"If it's an apology, just saying it verbally lacks sincerity." Jiang Chuan's serious tone carried a hint of a smile.
But Jiang Lin, who was too nervous to hear this, leaned his head in front of Jiang Chuan, closed his eyes, and snorted, "You can beat me up to vent your anger, that's sincere enough, isn't it?"
After waiting for a long time without feeling any pain, Jiang Lin was about to open his eyes when a large hand landed on his head and rubbed it hard.
Jiang Lin opened his eyes abruptly, took a step back, his ears slightly red, and stammered, "What...what are you doing!"
Jiang Chuan looked at Jiang Lin and chuckled, "Be good, you're my own brother. Brothers don't hold grudges overnight, so there's no need to apologize."
"I don't remember what you did. In my heart, you're just a rebellious kid who never grew up and always wanted to get attention."
"Who's rebellious! Who's a child! I'm all grown up now, don't underestimate me." Jiang Lin stretched his neck and retorted, "Whether you accept it or not, I've apologized to you anyway."
He tidied his hair, muttering, "You've messed up my hairstyle, honestly!"
He muttered to himself as he hurried away.
"Second brother, we've made up, and things are back to normal." Jiang Chuan's voice came from behind.
Jiang Lin didn't say anything, which was obviously a tacit agreement. Feeling embarrassed and awkward, he almost tripped over himself while walking.
Watching Jiang Lin's departing figure, Jiang Chuan smiled helplessly. That brat...
Ruan Xiyan, who was cultivating in her room, was unaware of the commotion outside.
The jade hairpin she wore flashed with light, and a small lion with soft fur appeared beside Ruan Xiyan.
The miniature Azure Sky leaped out of the space, first stretching its limbs.
Looking at Biqiong lying on the bed, Ruan Xiyan gently scratched its belly with her fingers. "Biqiong, how did you get out of the space?"
Bi Qiong, whose belly was being rubbed by Ruan Xiyan, let out a few comfortable purrs.
Upon hearing Ruan Xiyan's question, Bi Qiong jumped up, sniffed around, and then said with absolute certainty.
"Master, I can sense the aura of the Fire Scale Stone. The power of this aura is even stronger than the Fire Scale Stone you acquired before." The excitement in Biqiong's voice was undisguised.
"Fire Scale Stone?" Ruan Xiyan murmured, "Could it be that there is a Fire Scale Stone under that magma, which is causing the current anomaly?"
Ruan Xiyan looked at Biqiong, whose eyes were sparkling with excitement, and promised, "Don't worry, if there really is a Fire Scale Stone here, I will definitely find it for you."
Fire Scale Stone can enhance the power of Azure Sky, so you can imagine how attractive Fire Scale Stone is to Azure Sky.
Biqiong happily rubbed against Ruan Xiyan's hand, "I knew Master was the best."
The next day, Ruan Xiyan went to see Jiang Wubai and expressed that she still wanted to go and take a look at the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Jiang Wubai granted her permission and allowed Jiang Chuan to take her there.
Jiang Wubai continued to peruse ancient texts, trying to find a way to deal with the lava.
The pressure from the furnace of heaven and earth is weakening, while the power of the magma is growing stronger, making it impossible to achieve a balance between the two.
Once the magma erupts on a large scale, the entire Burning Weapon Sect will be engulfed by the magma. Before that happens, he must find a way.
Jiang Chuan led Ruan Xiyan back to the magma that was radiating intense heat.
"Sect Leader Ruan, we can't go any further, it's dangerous." Jiang Chuan stopped some distance away from the lava.
Ruan Xiyan stopped walking as instructed.
Bi Qiong's voice entered Ruan Xiyan's mind, "Master, the aura of the Fire Scale Stone is getting closer."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiyan was basically certain that the Fire Scale Stone existed in this magma.
