The fairy is fierce

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, with 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 money man from the casual cultivator in the market. If you give him some fairy money, you can 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 him a few words of instruction, but in the end he suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said seriously:

"The world is divided into yin and yang, people are divided into male and female, and there is no superiority between yang and yang. The same is true for men and women. 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 delicate hands and rubbed his eyebrows:

"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, so he didn't 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:

"To practice a Taoism, one has always walked alone on the Taoist path. 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 allow others to blaspheme or slander him in the slightest. He quickly said:

"Uncle, don't get angry. I'm 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 The look in his eyes is like that of a young wife in the market, how can any protector be so protective?"

Shangguan Lingye said seriously: "The ancestor must have used some unknown magical power to establish a connection with Tang Jingxun's soul, and can control Tang Jingxun's body from thousands of miles away. The one who usually is not the ancestor."

Situ Zhendang was half-believing and half-doubting, and whispered like a gossipy woman in the market:

"The ancestor never protected his disciples before, but made an exception for Zuo Lingquan; Zuo Lingquan is not better than his uncle in other aspects except that he is handsome and a man; if the ancestor wanted to control his body to fight, he could directly control Zuo Lingquan, but he chose to use his Taoist partner's body..."

Pa

Shangguan Lingye gently patted the armrest of the soft couch.

Situ Zhenhan stopped talking immediately and said awkwardly:

"I am just helping my uncle to analyze the ancestor's motives, just talking casually."

Shangguan Lingye was silent for a while, raised his hand and waved:

"Do your own thing, don't stare at me anymore, you can't see anything."

"Thank you, uncle."

Situ Zhenhan felt as if he had been pardoned, fearing that Shangguan Lingye would regret it, he took away the bronze mirror, and the water curtain disappeared completely.

Shangguan Lingye sat alone on the couch, and was really suspicious of Situ Zhenhan's nonsense.

She didn't think the ancestor would be tempted, but Situ Zhenhan was right, she was not the ancestor, how could she know the ancestor's inner thoughts?

She had never seen the ancestor take such good care of other disciples before, she thought she was stronger than Zuo Lingquan, and the ancestor never personally came forward to help her out.

I have never figured out why the ancestor favors Zuo Lingquan so much, but if the ancestor does not train Zuo Lingquan as a successor, but simply eats the cow...! !

Shangguan Lingye sat up straighter, glanced at the portrait of the ancestor outside the curtain, and really didn't dare to think further.

However, it is undeniable that this statement has a slight possibility.

If you want to verify it, you can only keep an eye on Zuo Lingquan and wait for the ancestor to show up next time to see if the two people's words and deeds have crossed the line...

The ancestor has not seen her for so many years, and she can also take the opportunity to meet the ancestor and ask about the confusion in her heart...

Shangguan Lingye considered it and felt that there was no harm in verifying it, and it would not hurt to guess wrong, so there was nothing to hesitate about...

...——

Under the same night sky, in the house next to the Concubine 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, and there were only five people including Leng Zhu.

Jiang Yi is the head of the family and lives in the main house. She couldn't stay up all night before reaching the Spirit Valley, so she had already fallen asleep. Wu Qingwan and Tang Jingxun lived in the east and west wings.

As the son-in-law of the emperor, Zuo Lingquan couldn't sleep with Jiang Yi before getting married, nor could he sleep with Wu Qingwan and Tang Jingxun openly. Therefore, he and Leng Zhu lived in the side rooms on the left and right of the main house.

I went out this afternoon to find out about the news. I need a guide to go to the Soul-Falling Abyss. The person has been found, and we can go directly there tomorrow. It's a bit risky for Zuo Lingquan to go treasure hunting alone, so he plans to take the most capable Tang Jingxun with him. As for Cheng Jiujiang and the two worshippers, they are just going out to dig medicinal herbs. They have to share the accounts afterwards, so they will definitely not take them if they can.

It was late, and Zuo Lingquan sat cross-legged on the bed in the room, conserving his energy to prepare for going to the Soul-Falling Abyss tomorrow. Not long after closing his eyes, the Tiandun card placed next to the pillow suddenly lit up.

Zuo Lingquan opened his eyes, picked up the Tiandun card and injected his true energy into it, and a sound came from inside:

"Lingquan... um..."

Wu Qingwan's voice was gentle and hesitant, and it seemed that she was still buried in the quilt.

Zuo Lingquan smiled, but did not respond. He put away the Tiandun card, got up lightly, opened the door and came to the courtyard.

There was no light in the main room, and the steady breathing of Leng Zhu and Jiang Yi could be vaguely heard.

Tang Jingyan lived in the west wing. Half-step Linggu could stay awake for many days. At this time, the window was still open and the lights were on inside; Tang Jingyan was practicing on the tea couch. After taking a bath at night, she was wearing a loose goose yellow nightgown. Although she didn't show much flesh, she was naturally full of juice. Just her face and white bare feet could make people feel the delicateness of white tofu.

After Zuo Lingquan glanced at it, he came to the east wing with light footsteps and jumped into it silently from the window.

The house had just been cleaned up and it was the first time people moved in. There was smoke from the burning incense and no lights in the house. Inside the embroidered bed, the aqua-green quilt bulged, and the voluptuous Wu Qingwan was buried in the quilt, not even her hair was exposed, and she was still muttering:

"Hello? Lingquan?... Why are you silent..."

Zuo Lingquan smiled, but did not speak. He quietly walked over and put his hand into the quilt from the edge, and felt a warm feeling...

"Woo..."

Wu Qingwan was startled, turned around under the quilt, held Zuo Lingquan's hand, lifted the quilt, frowned and said seriously:

"Lingquan, I'm talking to you with the Tiandun card, you don't have to say anything, why did you come over?"

"I thought Senior Wu asked me to come over."

Wu Qingwan really didn't mean to ask Zuo Lingquan to come over, she pointed to the main house not far away:

"Jiang Yi lives diagonally opposite, just two walls apart, I can even hear her breathing, you...ah~ come in and talk." She lifted the quilt.

Zuo Lingquan took off his shoes, crawled under the quilt, and hugged Wu Qingwan, his hands were a little dishonest.

Wu Qingwan was wearing a skirt, and she was afraid that Jiang Yi would hear her, so she used the quilt to block out the sound. She covered the two of them tightly, leaned close to their ears and scolded:

"Don't move. I'm talking to you about something serious."

Unable to see his fingers, Zuo Lingquan could only feel the softness in front of him. He leaned close to Wu Qingwan's ear and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"I have 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 to 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 gathered, 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 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 can she improve her level? Now that she has settled down, you should quickly find an opportunity to deal with Jiang Yi, so that in the future... it will be convenient for me to accompany you in cultivation. 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 Let’s settle things with her when we get back.”

"Um……"

…

Wu Qingwan chattered for a while, and after finishing her restless words, she pulled away slightly and said softly:

"Okay, go back and sleep. You don't dare to practice in this place. You are full of energy 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 Wanwan too embarrassed, so he nodded and said:

"Senior Wu has the final say in cultivation, 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 and opened her teeth slightly, allowing Zuo Lingquan to kiss her more deeply...
