Ji Xiuzhu listened to the old man's ridicule, but did not agree with him. Instead, he waved his hand at the old man and said, "You old man, you are talking lightly. If I throw you to a foreign country for seven years, will you miss home?"

The old man probably didn't expect Ji Xiuzhu to say such a thing, and was speechless for a moment.

After thinking it over carefully, the old man spoke earnestly, "It is also my fault. I wonder if you have ever heard of Knowing the Destiny?"

Know destiny?

What does it mean to know one’s destiny?

Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

She knows fortune-telling, but what is "knowing one's destiny"? Is it the same as fortune-telling?

When she thought of fortune-telling, she thought of her fifth apprentice, Xu Anlan.

After all, Xu Anlan is a man who holds destiny in his hands, controls all the world's affairs, and deciding life and death is not a problem for him at all.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuzhu slowly opened his mouth and said, "When you say knowing destiny, are you talking about the Great God of Destiny?"

Hearing this, the old man stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

"Yes, what you call Siming in Tianyuan Continent is what we call Zhitianming in Shenzhou Continent."

After listening to this, Ji Xiuzhu immediately had a new question: "Is this a position? Or is it a type of person?"

Hearing this, the old man poured himself a cup of new tea, and after taking a sip, he slowly said, "Zhi Tianming is the only true god in our Shenzhou Continent. Seven years ago, Zhi Tianming predicted that a catastrophe would come to Shenzhou. Tianyuan has a son named Ji, Xiu and Zhu. This child has a disability in his eyes, but he can save Shenzhou from the catastrophe."

Hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu frowned instantly.

Ji Xiuzhu: What a mess. What does the catastrophe of China have to do with me?

Perhaps seeing Ji Xiuzhu's confusion, the old man waved his hand, and a bamboo slip with inscriptions appeared on the table in front of Ji Xiuzhu.

Ji Xiuzhu heard the sound and reached out to touch the bamboo slips.

After he found it, Ji Xiuzhu slowly opened it. After opening the bamboo slip, Ji Xiuzhu stretched out his hand and kept feeling for the words on it, and then he saw a few lines of small words engraved on it.

——Ji Xiuzhu was born on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Tianyuan year at the third quarter of the yin hour. His eyebrows and eyes were full of charm, and his whole body was filled with the fragrance of the purple bamboo forest. In the 2289th year of the Tianyuan year, he entered Shenzhou to search for traces and passed by the Purple Mansion. If he stayed, he could save the catastrophe.

After touching the words on the bamboo slips, Ji Xiuzhu was confused.

What the hell is going on here? She understood each of the words on the bamboo slips individually, but when they were put together, she was confused.

Moreover, the Tianyuan Continent and the Shenzhou Continent are separated by more than one dimension, so how are they connected?

The more Ji Xiuzhu thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed.

Then, Ji Xiuzhu pointed at the bamboo slips on the table, looked at the old man and said, "So, this is why you brought me from Tianyuan to Shenzhou?"

The old man nodded, but when he heard Ji Xiuzhu's words clearly, he quickly shook his head: "No, you came here in response to the gods, not intentionally by me. And wasn't the teleportation formation drawn by you yourself? How could it be my fault?"

"Heh..." Hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu slapped the bamboo slips on the table, a little angry, but finally chuckled, "It's not impossible for me to help. But when I was in Tianyuan, I was at least the leader of a sect. Since you want me to help, you have to give me something that will tempt me, right? This is a fair deal. As for your plot against me, I won't bother with you because you are old."

The old man smiled slightly, as if he had been prepared. He waved his sleeves lightly, and a box that was carved with double dragon patterns and looked extremely ancient appeared in the old man's hand.

In the middle of the box, there is a Thousand Machine Lock, which is made of the remains of a mastiff dragon and is difficult to break even with thousands of external forces.

The old man put the box on the table and slowly pushed it in front of Ji Xiuzhu.

"When Zhitianming predicted it before, he knew that you would come to my Yunxian Purple Mansion. So he delivered this item seven years ago, saying that it would be given to you when you came. It contains the Fantong Grass, and you must be in urgent need of it. As for whether to help or not, you must have already made up your mind."

Ji Xiuzhu's heart moved. When she first went to the Far North, in addition to the Soul-Returning Fruit, the Fantong Grass was also something she needed. It was only because she met that banished immortal at that time that she came here by accident.

Having said that, however, Ji Xiuzhu did not agree immediately.

"Old man, you said this is the Ordinary Pupil Grass. Is this the Ordinary Pupil Grass? The authenticity of this thing has yet to be verified. How about this, I will bring my disciples to live with you for a few days. After the authenticity of this thing is verified, I will give you an answer, okay?"

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he put the box into his storage bag and blinked his invisible eyes at the old man.

Seeing Ji Xiuzhu like this, the old man smiled knowingly. Then he stroked his beard and nodded, agreeing to Ji Xiuzhu's proposal.

"Since you are a distinguished guest of my Yunxian Purple Mansion, how can I neglect you? Although my Yunxian Purple Mansion is a small place, it is also a pleasant place with abundant spiritual energy. You and your disciple can just stay here. However, the surrounding villages have been plagued by demons recently. If you encounter one or two, please don't hesitate to help."

After saying this, the old man performed the highest greeting between cultivators towards Ji Xiuzhu.

Although Ji Xiuzhu can't see, he can hear with his ears.

Even though I don’t know what the old man is doing at the moment, I think I will not go wrong if I face him with a smile.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuzhu responded to the old man with a faint smile.

When the old man saw Ji Xiuzhu smile, his eyes instantly regained some indifference.

In this way, the old and the young reached some kind of tacit agreement in this quiet atmosphere.

As the smoke around him gradually dissipated, Ji Xiuzhu's negotiations with the old man also came to an end.

At the same time, Mo Yunyu and Cui Yunshen, who were waiting for Ji Xiuzhu outside the mountain gate, were both staring at the top of the Yunxian Purple Mansion with a worried look in their eyes.

I don't know how long I waited, but suddenly two lights, one white and one blue, flashed on the top of the mountain.

As the light and shadow landed steadily on the ground, the people in Yunxian Zifu, Mo Yunyu and Cui Yunshen could see clearly that the people who appeared in front of them were Ji Xiuzhu and the white-haired old man.

When Cui Yunshen saw Ji Xiuzhu appear, he rushed forward and supported Ji Xiuzhu.

Seeing this, Mo Yunyu just followed behind silently. When he got closer and saw Ji Xiuzhu talking and laughing with the white-haired old man, he frowned instantly.

In his opinion, the person in front of him was an enemy, not a friend, so it was inappropriate to talk and laugh with him.

But because Ji Xiuzhu didn't say anything, Mo Yunyu didn't say anything.

He just thought that Ji Xiuzhu was deceived by the old man's sweet words, which was why he was talking and laughing to the old man.

So he thought to himself that when he got the chance, he would have a good talk with his master. People are treacherous and one should not trust anyone easily.

But the next second, Ji Xiuzhu announced a shocking thing to him.

"Second brother, sixth brother, calm down a bit. We may have to stay as guests in Yunxian Purple Mansion for a while in the future."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, before Mo Yunyu asked any questions, Cui Yunshen spoke first.

"Master, they are so rude, why should we stay here as their guests?"

Cui Yunshen was very puzzled. When he said this, he looked at the person who had led the trouble with an unhappy expression.

The old man probably saw the displeasure of Ji Xiuzhu and his two disciples, so he sternly rebuked his leading disciple, "Ruhua, why don't you apologize to your senior Ji and these two brothers?"

The woman named Ruhua looked a little angry when she heard that, but since her leader had spoken, she had to step forward reluctantly.

Then, he bowed to Ji Xiuzhu and Mo Yunyu and apologized perfunctorily: "I'm sorry, I'm Ruhua Wushi. I offended you and my two senior brothers. I hope you will forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu said nothing, but just patted Cui Yunshen's arm gently.

Cui Yunshen felt Ji Xiuzhu's slap, so he looked up at Mo Yunyu. Seeing that Mo Yunyu didn't say anything, he slowly said, "My master said that it was my fault, and it was not a mistake, so don't worry about it. My master is generous and forgives you. But I won't indulge you. If you continue to be so arrogant, don't blame me for being blind with the long sword in my hand!"

Cui Yunshen said this with a smug look on his face.

Ji Xiuzhu's heart trembled. When did she say so many words?

But I have to mention that Cui Yunshen is really useful as a mouthpiece, it feels so good to say that!

Although the old man knew that the fault was with his family, Cui Yunshen's words said in front of him made him feel a little jealous and uncomfortable.

Noticing the old man's strange expression and seeing that Cui Yunshen was about to speak sarcastically, Mo Yunyu took the initiative to interrupt Cui Yunshen.

He bowed to the old man and said, "Don't blame me, my junior brother is just so naughty and outspoken. Since my master has decided to stay here, please tell me where we can stay."

When the old man heard this, he instantly came back to his senses. He touched his beard and shouted to the crowd.

"Cang'er! Master and disciple Ji have just arrived at our sect, so you should take the three of them to get familiar with the sect."

After the old man finished speaking, he raised his chin with a look of pride, and from time to time he secretly glanced at Ji Xiuzhu and Mo Yunyu.

"Yes, the disciple obeys."

A clear voice like a silver bell suddenly came from the crowd.

At the same time, there was a tinkling sound of bracelets and pendants coming from all around.

Hearing the sound, the crowd made way for the other side.

Then, the woman named Cang'er, dressed in purple with a graceful figure and a purple veil on her face, walked through the crowd step by step and slowly came towards Ji Xiuzhu and his companions.

Cang'er walked up to Ji Xiuzhu, bowed, and said softly: "Junior Cang'er greets Senior Ji and two senior brothers. Senior Ji, since it is the headmaster who said so, then I will take you to your residence."

Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help but nodded when he heard the clear sound, and then the group followed Cang'er up the mountain.

Along the way, Cui Yunshen looked around curiously, and from time to time he told Ji Xiuzhu what he saw.

Ji Xiuzhu also enjoyed it, but Mo Yunyu remained silent.

Seeing that Cui Yunshen was so interested, Cang'er also explained the Yunxian Purple Mansion to Cui Yunshen in detail, and enjoyed it.

However, while introducing Cui Yunshen, his eyes would occasionally glance at the taciturn Mo Yunyu standing aside.

Mo Yunyu seemed to have noticed something, but when he looked at Cang'er, he found that Cang'er was not abnormal at all, and just kept introducing the surroundings to Cui Yunshen.

Seeing this scene, Mo Yunyu thought he was overthinking and stopped looking at Cang'er.

But after Mo Yunyu withdrew his gaze, Cang'er felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

Cang'er: This senior brother is so handsome! When he looked at me just now, I felt a little fluttery! I was about to die, but luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise he would have discovered that I was peeking at him.

So, along the way, Cang'er introduced the history of Yunxian Zifu to Cui Yunshen with trepidation.

Soon, they arrived in front of an elegant courtyard. Cang'er introduced, "This is where Senior Ji and the two brothers live. If you need anything, just let me know. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, Cang'er bowed to Ji Xiuzhu and the others.

Ji Xiuzhu nodded, thanked Cang'er, and led the two of them into the yard.

After seeing those people leave, Cang'er stared at Mo Yunyu's back in a daze.

"This senior brother is really heart-warming."

After Cang'er finished speaking, his face instantly turned red.

Fortunately, her face was covered with a veil, otherwise, her flushed face would have appeared quite different to others.
