The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.
Chapter 229 Gods, gains and losses
"Xiao Fairy Mu..." Jiang Zhixia followed her and asked cautiously: "I may have slept too long and forgotten some things. When did I agree to compete with you?"
"You promised." Mu Shenglan stopped and asked her: "Do you think I'm not worthy of being your opponent? I can't survive a few moves at your hands, so fighting with me to a draw will ruin your reputation?"
"I didn't think so!"
"Then come with me!"
Mu Shenglan walked in front, looking sideways at her from time to time, as if she wanted to say something but swallowed it back in the end.
The two walked all the way out of the Pleiades Cang Gate and came to the arch bridge between the mountain peaks.
Mu Shenglan suddenly gathered her magic power, turned around and struck her face with a palm. At this time, the horizontal sword she was carrying flew out of the scabbard and fell into Jiang Zhixia's hand. Jiang Zhixia used it to block the blow.
"You're right." Mu Shenglan stopped her stance and put the scabbard up, "It's not mine, and it's useless even if it's in my hands. I'll give this knife back to you."
"I……"
"Jiang Zhixia, I lost, but you have to understand that I didn't lose to you because of spells or moves." She lowered her head, came to the bridge, looked at the sea of clouds below, and said after a while: "I misunderstood you. I want to You apologize."
"Ah!? You're right." Jiang Zhixia thought she was talking about the last time she had an argument with her in front of the immortals, "If I were publicly slandered for having a relationship with another male immortal, I would also be angry.
But I really couldn’t think of any good ideas that day...I will write an apology letter tomorrow to clarify your innocence to everyone in the fairy world..."
"No, you are right." She looked back at her with provocation in her eyes, "I like my senior brother. I want to steal it from you."
"what?"
Mu Shenglan took two steps forward and stopped in front of her, a little aggressively, "I want you to give me your senior brother. I can satisfy any of your needs. How about it? What will you do?"
"I would advise you not to do this."
"You can't bear to let him go?" After she finished speaking, she walked back to the railing of the bridge and stopped.
Jiang Zhixia followed her closely, "I must be reluctant to let go. But the focus of this kind of thing is not on me, but on him. Although he is always aloof, he is still a person and not an object. I can't make decisions for him."
She looked at Mu Shenglan's tense side face and asked tentatively: "Would you like to order something else? Would you like the fried pancakes at the foot of Dongyao Mountain? That old man only works at the stall for two hours a day, and each person can buy at most Five. But I know him very well, and he will sell me one more. I can also take you to his house to eat and drink..."
Mu Shenglan turned around and asked angrily: "Do you know what I'm talking about? I said I like my senior brother."
"I like it." There was no reluctance on her face, and she said in a relaxed tone: "This is personal freedom. I can't force you to do anything. What's more, Xie Zezhi is not bad at all. Being liked by others proves that he has done a good job.
But let’s talk about fried pancakes, don’t you know their..."
"Jiang Zhixia!" She glared at her, furious, and suddenly laughed.
Jiang Zhixia saw her smile for the first time, and she looked particularly beautiful reflected in the sea of clouds.
After a long time, Mu Shenglan took a long breath, and the stone in his heart was finally removed.
She is still her, nothing has changed.
Mu Shenglan and Jiang Zhixia talked a lot. The two chatted until the sun went down, and finally sat on the railing of the arch bridge with their legs hanging outside to watch the sunset side by side.
Mu Shenglan told Jiang Zhixia her ideals and how she wanted to change Pleiades Cang.
Jiang Zhixia just listened without saying anything. She knew in her heart that Mu Shenglan was different from Gong Zexue. She had clear goals and knew what she wanted and what she would do in the future.
"How did you feel when you took over as the head of Lingqing?" Mu Shenglan asked her curiously: "Are you afraid or hesitant?"
Jiang Zhixia pondered for a moment, "I didn't feel much at that moment, it was just quite unexpected."
"Accident?"
"correct."
"Is it because your master appointed you to be the leader? You didn't expect it, so you were surprised?"
"I wouldn't be surprised if it was really designated." She said a little embarrassedly: "I was selected by him using the pen-turning method."
"ah!!?"
When Jiang Zhixia recalled the process of becoming the leader, the word "accident" was most appropriate. After Ji Chen pushed down the Divine Pillar, her master was seriously injured and could not recover. He took his last breath to choose the next leader.
At that time, all her classmates gathered in a circle, and her master was responsible for turning the pen. The pen tip pointed to a blank space at the end. At first, everyone was thinking about going around again, but Jiang Zhixia, because she was worried about Master Kaiyang's condition, insisted on looking at him with her injured body, just in time to fill in the gap, and the tip of the pen was facing the direction she came from.
Before she could react, everyone in the room knelt down to congratulate her.
"No..." She was confused, "I was just passing by, Master, you..."
Master Kaiyang applauded wildly, "Congratulations to Xiao Liu for being promoted to the head of the sect. It's really a blessing for our sect. Master is right. Do your best and strive to be promoted next year..."
"..."
"Then what?" Mu Shenglan asked.
"Then he died after saying these words. That's how I became the leader."
Mu Shenglan: Although it is strange, when I think about what happened in Lingqing, it suddenly doesn’t feel strange anymore.
"Then you did a good job." Mu Shenglan was still trying to make up for her. But she wasn't just complimenting her either. She really admired Jiang Zhixia, especially after she took over Pleiades Cang's affairs, she knew that supporting a sect was not as easy as it seemed.
At that time, Lingqing was even more difficult than it is now in Pleiades. The Emperor of Heaven blamed him and his colleagues in the immortal world took advantage of it.
"You are very powerful." She said sincerely: "If it were me, I might not be able to stand the difficulty and would have started fighting against them a long time ago. I can't bow to them and admit my mistakes. I heard that you also fought with them in order to protect the sect. They knelt down and apologized..."
"Good people, them. Sometimes I think about how sorry I am for them." Jiang Zhixia suddenly sighed. Looking at Mu Shenglan's confused expression, she explained: "You think about such a big thing, what if it were... I might have vented my anger by bringing down their sects! But Qiao Lang and the leaders of those two sects came over and asked me to kneel down and apologize to them, and then give them something to compensate!
When I heard this, it was a good thing! Kneeling down can change the life of a sect member. Who wouldn't want to do such a hugely profitable thing? You know how happy I am to hear their request.
Later, I felt that I was taking advantage of others, so I thought that if I kowtowed to them a few times, I would feel at ease. As soon as we knocked the three of them, Xie Zezhi came over and drove them away, which made me feel sick for a long time. "
Mu Shenglan:......
"In short, I think being the leader is not an easy job." She continued: "There will be a lot of worries. But from my experience, if you find the right positioning point, you will at least feel lighter."
"location point?"
"It's your positioning or view of the gods. If you think the gods are aloof, then the road ahead will be a little difficult, and many inexplicable rules will restrict your hands." She raised the corner of her mouth, "If you think the gods should come down to earth and stay with mortals In one place, although the road is difficult to walk, you won't think too much and there will be more and more people around you. Then you will find that whether there is a spiritual spring or not is actually not that important."
Jiang Zhixia whispered a few more words into her ear. Mu Shenglan looked at her in surprise, "You are too bold to do this."
"The situation forced me to find a new path, but it allowed me to find a new path. According to what Pu Lizhi said, the spiritual energy was insufficient in ancient times, so the gods still survived. So I thought maybe the spiritual spring was not that important after all. Let's just start over. .”
The sun went down and the sky became dark. Jiang Zhixia felt that her body was numb from sitting. She stretched, turned around and wanted to get off the railing.
"Slow down, slow down! Hold on to me..." Xie Zezhi emerged from nowhere, supported her with one hand, and complained: "You are not afraid of falling from such a height."
"Why are you here? Are you eavesdropping?" She looked at him in surprise
"I didn't!" He immediately retorted: "Susu said I would come over and have a look before you came back. I didn't eavesdrop!"
Even though these words were a bit out of place, he really didn't eavesdrop this time - he just stood in the distance and peeked for two hours.
He originally wanted to leave when he saw her, but seeing how dishonest she was sitting there, he was afraid that she would fall out of excitement and did not dare to leave even a step.
The two of them said goodbye to Mu Shenglan. Mu Shenglan watched the two of them leaving and silently said goodbye to their feelings.
She thought: It's worth losing one person you like, but gaining two friends.
