Fairies Are Fierce
Chapter 138 The Long Night
Chapter 138 The Long Night
At night, dark clouds blocked the bright moon in the sky, leaving only the sea of lights in Linyuan City between heaven and earth.
In the concubine's palace, Shangguan Lingye was leaning on the soft couch behind the bead curtain, with a blue-eyed white cat lying in his arms, his brows and eyes looking slightly lost.
Shangguan Lingye has already entered Youhuang, and it doesn't matter if she stays awake for several years. She doesn't need to sleep at night; but the Taifei Palace is not a place for cultivation. The thin spiritual energy cannot improve her cultivation by half a step. Sitting cross-legged and practicing is meaningless. Late at night when I have nothing to do, I can only rely on this place to wander thousands of miles.
After chatting with Zuo Lingquan about the queen of heaven two days ago, although Shangguan Lingye still didn't understand the ancestor's intention, he felt more at peace in his heart. He was no longer irritated and suspicious, and just thought seriously about where he went wrong.
After pondering alone for a long time, before I could sort out the context, a curtain of water slowly emerged outside the bead curtain.
"Meow~"
The white cat rolled up and stepped on Shangguan Lingye's chest with the pads of its paws.
Shangguan Lingye recovered from his wandering mind and looked at the water curtain in a blink of an eye.
In the water curtain, there is still the scene of the Fairy Market. The perspective is on the roof of the Royal Beast House. A faint sound comes from below:
"...We have already checked. The boy's name is Zuo Lingquan. He is a monk from the Great Dan Kingdom in the Southern Wilderness. His identity is the Imperial Guard. This time he came to Linyuan City to follow the Great Dan Royal Family to the capital to meet Emperor Dayan..."
"How is your cultivation? Who do you study under?"
"I bribed the officials of the Ministry of Rites and gave me the news that I was twenty-seven years old, halfway through Linggu, my master was named Cheng Jiujiang, the mountain master of a small hill, and he had a fourth-level cultivation in Linggu... That boy came to the market in the afternoon. Ask about the news about entering Luohun Abyss. If you have a background, you will not go to Luohun Abyss to earn hard-earned money. The information should be correct..."
"Twenty-seven years old, half a step into the spiritual valley, with decent talent..."
"The guide that boy is looking for is an old man from the Independent Cultivator at the market. If you give him some fairy money, he should be able to buy it; how about I arrange the manpower and look for opportunities in the Soul-falling Abyss..."
"Go ahead."
…
After the whispers ended, the perspective of the water curtain flashed to the top of another house, and Situ shocked and revealed his big head full of beard:
"Uncle Master, did you hear that?"
Shangguan Lingye gently stroked the white cat's hair, looked away, and said in a slightly impatient tone:
"In the future, there is no need to report such insignificant matters to me; what can I do if I know about it? Remind Yushou Zhai that he misjudged his opponent's strength?"
Situ Zhenzhen was a little innocent: "Uncle Master, it was you who asked me to pay attention to the young palace master. If there is anything unusual, I will tell you."
"What I want you to pay attention to is how he is different from me, why he is favored by the ancestors, and whether he is better than me in any way. I am not asking you to be a protector. Do you understand?"
What's different?
Situ shocked and blinked his bell-like eyes, and thought about it seriously:
"I don't see anything that makes him better than his uncle, but there are quite a few things that are different from his uncle."
Shangguan Lingye's eyes moved slightly and he sat up:
"explain."
"The young master of the palace is a man, and the master uncle is a woman. I noticed it the first time I saw him."
"..."
Shangguan Lingye breathed slightly, and wanted to give a few words of lecture, but in the end he suppressed the waves in his heart and said seriously:
"The world is divided into yin and yang, and people are divided into men and women; there is no superiority between yin and yang in the world, and the same is true for men and women in the world. This is not the reason why the ancestor favored him."
Situ Zhenshao quickly shook his head: "This is not necessarily true. In my opinion, there should be no women other than the ancestors in the Tielong Mansion. Women or sissies are not suitable for following the path of pure men like us."
Shangguan Lingye raised his slender hand and rubbed his brow:
"The roads in Tiedong Mansion are indeed not suitable for women, but if the ancestor can take it, I can take it. The reason why my ancestor favors him is not because of the difference between men and women. Can you see anything else?"
Situ Zhenzhen was afraid of being discovered by his ancestor and did not dare to approach Zuo Lingquan. What could he tell? But when his uncle asked him, he could only guess blindly:
"Others... By the way, the young master of the palace seems to attach great importance to friendship. Whether he treats the women around him or the friends he met on the way to practice, he is very sincere. I want to be with him..."
Shangguan Lingye frowned slightly: "Have I ever treated others badly?"
Situ Zhenshao shook his head quickly: "That's not what I meant, it's just...I think, Uncle Master is a bit too fairy-like, he treats people very kindly, but he always feels that he is doing business business and treats everyone equally, and there are no Taoist companions. I don’t have any friends to drink with, well… I feel like living like this is meaningless, of course, this is just my own opinion.”
Shangguan Lingye was silent for a moment before shaking his head:
"Practice of a Taoism has always been a solitary one, and the ancestor has no Taoist companions or close friends who can live together as equals."
When Situ Zhenzhen heard this, his expression was a little strange. He hesitated for a moment and then whispered:
"Uncle Master is not the ancestor, how do you know what the ancestor is thinking? Maybe there is someone in his heart, but he just didn't tell you..."
Is there someone in your heart? !
Shangguan Lingye's expression was slightly shaken, and anger emerged in his eyes.
Situ Zhenzhen knew that his uncle regarded his ancestor as the supreme Saint and would not tolerate any blasphemy or slander by others. He quickly said:
"Uncle, please don't get angry. I am telling the truth. The little girl next to the young palace master is the incarnation of the ancestor. I have been following you secretly for so long, and I found that the ancestor is not as simple as a protector. If nothing else, just That look in her eyes is like that of a market girl looking at her as an adult, how can any protector protect the Tao like this?"
Shangguan Lingye said solemnly: "The ancestor must have used some unknown Divine Ability to establish a connection with Tang Jingxun's soul, and can control Tang Jingxun's body thousands of miles away. The one who usually is not the ancestor."
Situ Zhenzhen was dubious, and like a gossip in the market, he whispered:
"Ancestor has never protected his disciples before, with the exception of Zuo Lingquan; apart from being handsome and male, Zuo Lingquan is no better than his uncle in other aspects; if Ancestor wants to control his body to fight, he can directly control Zuo Lingquan. , but I chose to use the body of a Taoist monk..."
Snapped--
Shangguan Lingye gently patted the armrest of the soft couch.
Situ Zhenshao quickly stopped talking and said:
"I'm just helping my uncle to analyze the ancestor's motives, so I can just talk about it."
Shangguan Lingye was silent for a long time, then raised his hand and waved:
"Go and do your own thing. You don't have to stare anymore. You won't be able to tell anything."
"Thank you, uncle."
Situ was shocked as if he had received an amnesty. He was afraid that Shangguan Lingye would regret it, so he put the bronze mirror away and everything disappeared in the water curtain.
Shangguan Lingye was sitting alone on the soft couch. He was really shocked by Situ's nonsense and became suspicious.
She didn't think the ancestor would be moved by Fan Fan, but Situ Zhenzhen was right. She was not the ancestor, so how could she know his inner thoughts?
She had never seen her ancestor take such care of other disciples before. She considered herself to be just as strong as Zuo Lingquan, and the ancestor had never stepped forward to help her out in person.
I had never guessed why the ancestor was so fond of Zuo Lingquan, but what if the ancestor did not train Zuo Lingquan as his successor, but simply ate the old cow...
! !
Shangguan Lingye sat up straighter and glanced at the portrait of his ancestor outside his eyes. He really didn't dare to think any further.
However, it is undeniable that this statement has a slight possibility.
If you want to ask for a certificate, you can only keep an eye on Zuo Lingquan, and wait until the ancestor shows up next time to see if there is anything over the line in the words and deeds of the two people...
Ancestor has not seen her for so many years, so I can take the opportunity to pay homage to him and ask about his confusion...
Shangguan Lingye thought about it and felt that there was no harm in asking for confirmation. There was no harm in guessing wrong. There was nothing to hesitate about...
…
——
Under the same night sky, in the courtyard next to the Dowager Palace.
The envoy team and Lanzhi and his wife all lived in the nearby Siyi Pavilion. There were not many people living in the house under the palace wall, including Leng Zhu, there were only five people.
Jiang Yi is the head of the family and lives in the main house. She can't stay awake before arriving at Linggu, so she has already fallen asleep. Wu Qingwan and Tang Jingxun lived in the east and west chambers.
As the consort, it was impossible for Zuo Lingquan to sleep with Jiang Yi before they got married, and he couldn't sleep with Wu Qingwan and Tang Jingxuan openly, so he and Leng Zhu lived alone in the side rooms to the left and right of the main room. inside.
I went out this afternoon to get some information. I need a guide to go to Luohun Abyss. I have already found someone. I can just go directly there tomorrow. It was a bit risky for Zuo Lingquan to go treasure hunting alone, so he planned to bring Tang Jingxun, who was the best at hunting. As for Cheng Jiujiang and the two priests, they just went out to dig for medicinal materials, and they had to split the accounts afterwards.
It was getting late, and Zuo Lingquan was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the room, recharging his energy to prepare for the trip to Luohunyuan tomorrow. Not long after I closed my eyes, the Tiandun card placed next to the pillow suddenly lit up with a faint light.
Zuo Lingquan opened his eyes, picked up the Tiandun Pai and injected True Qi into it, and a voice came from inside:
"Ling Quan...um..."
Wu Qingwan's voice was soft and hesitant, and she seemed to be still buried in the bed.
A smile appeared on Zuo Lingquan's lips, but without responding, he put away the Tiandun card, stood up gently, opened the door and entered the courtyard.
There were no lights in the main room, and the steady breathing of Leng Zhu and Jiang Yi could be vaguely heard.
Tang Jingxun lived in the west wing, and he could stay up for many days without sleeping in Half Step Linggu. At this time, the window was still open and the lights were on inside. Tang Jingxun sat on the tea couch and practiced. He had taken a bath at night and was wearing a goose-yellow shirt. Although the loose nightgown doesn't reveal much flesh, it is naturally full of juices. Just her face and white bare feet can make people feel the delicacy like white tofu.
After taking a quick glance, Zuo Lingquan came to the east wing with light steps and silently jumped in from the window.
The house had just been tidied up, and it was my first time to move in. Incense was burning, but there were no lights in the house. In the embroidered bed on the inside, the aqua thin quilt was puffed up. Wu Qingwan, who had a plump figure, was completely buried in the quilt. Even her hair was not exposed, and she was still muttering in a low voice:
"Hello? Ling Quan?...Why are you silent..."
Zuo Lingquan smiled at the corners of his eyes, but without making a sound, he quietly walked up to him, put his hand in from the edge of the quilt, and felt the warmth...
"Woo..."
Wu Qingwan was startled, turned around under the quilt, held Zuo Lingquan's hand, lifted up the quilt, frowned and said seriously:
"Ling Quan, I used the Tiandun Pavilion to talk to you. It doesn't matter that you didn't say anything. Why did you come here?"
"I thought Senior Wu asked me to come over."
Wu Qingwan really didn't mean to call Zuo Lingquan over. She motioned to the main room not far away:
"Jiang Yi lives diagonally across the street, separated by two walls. I can even hear her breathing. You...oh~ come in and talk." He lifted up the quilt.
Zuo Lingquan took off his shoes, got under the quilt, and hugged Wu Qingwan, his hands a little dishonest.
Wu Qingwan was wearing a skirt, but she was afraid of being heard by Jiang Yi, so she used the quilt to block the sound. She covered the two of them tightly and scolded them in her ears:
"Don't move. I'm going to talk to you about business."
Without being able to see his fingers, he leaned close to Wu Qingwan's ear and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"I've made inquiries in the past two days and found that there were too many people participating in the Nine Sects Alliance in the past years. Looking for a monk from the Southern Wilderness is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I only know a name. I don't even know which sect my second uncle went to. How do you find this?"
When Zuo Lingquan heard this, he acted a little more honestly, hugged Wu Qingwan tightly, and comforted softly:
"I'll come up with a solution, um... By the way, the last time I saw the Crown Princess, she said that monks who approach the imperial city will check their backgrounds. The Nine Sects Alliance is being held near the capital. With so many monks gathering, the Monster Hunting Department will inevitably There will also be strict inspections, maybe there will be records..."
Wu Qingwan pressed Zuo Lingquan's cheek and hesitated:
"It's hard for Jiang Yi to ask for an audience with someone as big as the Crown Princess. How can she ask someone to help with the investigation?"
Zuo Lingquan thought for a while: "It's still early, I'll try to think of a way to see if I can find a chance to ask; even if I can't see the Crown Princess, the Demon Detective Department is next door. If I walk around a few times, I can always be accommodating."
Wu Qingwan had no other choice but to nod lightly, thought for a while and then said:
"There is also the matter between you and Jiang Yi. If you don't practice dual cultivation with her, how will she improve her realm? Now that she has settled down, you should quickly find an opportunity to deal with Jiang Yi. This way... it will be convenient for me to practice with you in the future. some."
"This matter has to happen naturally, and it can't be too utilitarian. I'll go to Luohunyuan to explore the way first. If it's not dangerous, I will take Jiang Yi with me later, and then find an opportunity..."
"Jiang Yi is just stubborn. If you force her a little bit, she will give in on the spot. How can she still scold you? When I find out that my cultivation level will skyrocket, I will definitely stick to you all day long. I have a good chat with Jiang Yi these days. You I'll settle things with her when I get back."
"Um……"
…
Wu Qingwan chattered for a while, and after finishing her restless words, she pulled away slightly and said softly:
"Okay, you go back to sleep. You don't dare to practice in this place. You are full of True Qi and don't need it for the time being. When you come back from Luohunyuan, I will go out with you and get a room in the inn... Then I will reward you. That’s it once, I agree to everything and I won’t lecture you.”
Zuo Lingquan saw that Wu Qingwan was indeed a little scared. Although he wanted to find excitement, he did not want to make the gentle-tempered Wanwan too embarrassed, so he nodded and said:
"Senior Wu has the final say in cultivating, and I don't know how to use force. Well... can I kiss you?"
"..."
Wu Qingwan pursed her lips and still acted like a teacher:
"Ling Quan, I am your teacher, you... ugh..."
With her lips being held, Wu Qingwan was a little helpless, but she didn't struggle. She just closed her eyes, allowing Zuo Lingquan to kiss her more deeply...
