Chapter 116: A guest arrives with a smile
Bai Wuchang stood with his hands behind his back, Xinyi knelt on one knee behind him without saying a word, and after a long time, the sound of a folding fan opening and closing was heard.
"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have connected with the Yuanqing Sect? Don't forget, your mother is still in my hands!"
Upon hearing this, Xinyi clasped her fists and said she didn't dare.
"Hmph!" Although Bai Wuchang snorted lightly, it made Xinyi feel cold in her heart.
"I don't think you dare!" He waved his folding fan and came in front of Xinyi. He pinched his chin and lifted his head: "If you dare to have any second thoughts, I don't mind letting you see your mother's broken pieces." He let go of Xinyi with a flick of his hand.
Xinyi knelt down hastily: "I dare not have any second thoughts, I will obey the envoy's orders!"
"Humph! I hope so!" Bai Wuchang said, waving his folding fan. "Last time you said that girl couldn't make the elixir. Now do you know why?"
This... Lingxiang never told him how to respond, and he didn't expect Bai Wuchang to call him for questioning so soon.
"I am incompetent, and the matter has not yet been fully investigated. Please give me some time, and I will do my best."
Let's deal with it this way for now, and make plans after I go back and discuss it with Lingxiang.
"Then I'll give you some time. If you still can't find it next time, don't blame me!" Bai Wuchang said, waving his sleeves, signaling Xinyi to retreat, but Xinyi knelt there and did not leave.
"Is there anything else you want to report?" Seeing him like this, Bai Wuchang turned his back and asked in a deep voice.
"There is one thing I don't understand. I don't know what the envoy's current plan is. Why did he attack Yuanqing's outer disciples?"
"Hmm?" Bai Wuchang turned half of his face to look at Xinyi, his eyes full of sternness, "Why, do I need you to ask about my actions now?"
Xinyi hurriedly replied that she did not dare to overstep the line, said goodbye, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
At this moment, a man walked out from Bai Wuchang's side.
"Right Envoy Bai, I'm afraid this man has already changed his mind. If we still use him, I'm afraid..."
Bai Wuchang seemed to be unconcerned, gently waving his folding fan and said with a smile: "General Wolf Head, don't worry. I have already seen that he has ulterior motives, but I have other uses for him now. You will know it one day."
"The Right Envoy has always been wise, so I will not worry. But what about the outer disciples that person mentioned?"
Bai Wuchang then showed annoyance on his face: "That useless thing is really causing trouble!" But in an instant, his face returned to normal, "It's okay, although it's useless, it can be used for entertainment."
……
"What?" Lingxiang was shocked. "You are my mother's disciple? Why have I never heard of you?"
Chi Yanzi laughed loudly: "I only practiced with my master for a few years, and then I was sent away to practice. You don't know."
Thinking back to the words his master used when he sent him away, he really did not know whether to laugh or cry.
……
"You are grown up now, and you should be independent of your mother. You always follow me around like this. When will you be able to stand on your own? You don't have any manliness at all! Even if I want to go out and have some fun, I have to take you with me. It's really troublesome. You should pack up tonight and go to Sihai to practice tomorrow!"...
"That was before Fairy Tu Mi took over Qingwei Peak," said Taoist Qian Yuan with a smile, "Before that, she had brought Brother Chi Yanzi to Yuanqing Sect. But at that time, we never thought that such a woman would become the mistress of all of us brothers and sisters in the future."
"Uh..." Lingxiang didn't know how to start for a moment. From what these two people said, her mother was really not a quiet woman!
"So, you recognized me from the beginning?"
Chi Yanzi nodded and said, "I have been paying attention to you since the day when your great master took out the life-extending pill. Looking closely, you do have some of my master's charm in your eyes and eyebrows, and your temperament is even more similar. But I was not sure at the time until you said that you made it yourself, then I was sure."
"That Chi Yanzi... Senior Brother..." She still found it difficult to change her words for a moment, "How could he end up like this? Did something happen to him?"
Chi Yanzi then said seriously: "This is the purpose of my trip." Then he told him all that he had gained from his investigation in Barbarian Continent.
Upon hearing this, Master Qian Yuan was shocked: "Are you saying that the Demon Lord is no longer in the Demon Realm, but is hiding in the Barbarian Continent?"
"That's right. The war between the Barbarian Continent and the Upper Kingdom a few years ago was caused by him. Recently, the demons seem to be making some moves again. It seems that they have found something." Chi Yanzi said, turning to look at Lingxiang, "Or maybe he knew about the incident of the Supreme Sect that day, so he acted like this."
"Back then, he had caused the extermination of three demon-killing families in the mortal world for his master's life-extending pill. But it is said that he only found two pills from two of them, and one pill could never be found."
"I think it is because the last pill was not found that Junior Sister was targeted after she used the Life-Extending Pill. And these days, I think he knew that the pill was made by Junior Sister, so he repeatedly attacked my Yuanqing?" Master Qianyuan suddenly realized, "Yes! That's it! What the Demon Lord wants now is probably the Lingxiang!"
If it is really as Chi Yanzi said, then everything makes sense. This matter is extremely important and I should tell the head brother as soon as possible.
Zhenren Qianyuan summoned Shouqi at once and ordered him to take Chi Yanzi to wash up and change into Taoist robes. Then he apologized to Chi Yanzi and rushed to Wuji Palace in a hurry.
Lingxiang was neither anxious nor slow. After Qianyuan Zhenren left the palace, she told Shouqi to get ready first, saying that she had something to say to Chi Yanzi. Shouqi had no choice but to obey the order and leave.
"If the Demon Lord is in the Barbarian Continent now, then according to the time calculation, he must have been there for a long time, and his power must be extremely large. It's not that I look down on you, senior brother, but how did you go to such a tiger's den and wolf's lair alone and escape unscathed?"
Chi Yanzi stood up and turned around with a smile, then looked at Lingxiang.
"Junior sister, look carefully. Can I say that I have escaped unscathed?" He then took out a handful of copper coins and a whisk with a broken beard from his bag. "Look, my magic weapon and life-saving items have ended up like this. How can I say that I have escaped unscathed?"
“But…” He sat back down, “Junior sister is indeed perceptive. I was in deep danger that day. If it weren’t for that person’s rescue, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have met each other today.”
That person? Who is that person?
Lingxiang was confused. After hearing what Chi Yanzi said, it seemed that she knew the person he was talking about.
Seeing her expression like this, Chi Yanzi smiled and said, "Do you still remember the robbery of the girl in Cangzhou?"
When Lingxiang heard Chi Yanzi say this, she was confused for a moment, but she understood it immediately.
"Brother, are you saying that you met that old fox there?"
Chi Yanzi burst into laughter when he heard this. If Wu Yuan heard this, he would probably complain.
"That's right. It's just that we are not allowed to enter the mountain due to the Yuanqing Sect's mountain formation. Now I think we have found your house in the city to stay temporarily."
