The fairy is fierce

Noon the next day.

The Hanging Pavilion was parked on the plain, and Zuo Lingquan and Xie Qiutao walked out of the gate together and headed to Wangchuan City to return to their lives.

The scenery on the plain is sparse, and apart from the occasional monk passing by, there is no other scenery visible.

Tuanzi, who was walking between the two of them with figure-eight steps, was a little bored. After walking a little distance, he stopped and spread his little wings:

"Ji~"

Unfortunately, the two people next to him were preoccupied and failed to notice Tuanzi's "wanting to hug" action, so they walked past it directly.

Tuanzi looked at the two people drifting away, his eyes full of shock:

"Chi chi chi?"

Zuo Lingquan was thinking about the process of kneading sister Yingying last night, secretly reminiscing about it and couldn't help himself. He took two steps to realize what he had done, turned around, picked up the dumplings, and put them on his shoulders.

Xie Qiutao and Zuo Lingquan were alone, and they inevitably recalled the embarrassing incident of having sex and having their butts slapped two days ago. They felt embarrassed and worried about how to communicate. Seeing this, they found the topic and raised their hands to take the dumplings:

"Sister Jingxun asked you to go out for a walk so as not to gain weight. You just took a few steps and got into someone's arms. If Sister Jingxun sees this, your dinner will be gone..."

When Tuanzi heard about dinner, he felt hungry again and opened his beak:

"Ji~"

"..."

Qiutao was speechless.

Zuo Lingquan watched Qiutao and Tuanzi playing around, shook his head and smiled, put away the distracting thoughts in his heart, and quickly came to Wangwangchuan City.

There are many monks staying in Wangchuan City. Although practitioners are not afraid of cold and heat, no one likes to wander around the streets under the May sun. The monks who have nothing to do are staying in various crowd gathering places. From time to time, voices of conversation can be heard:

"...The Immortal Lord who overcame the tribulation in Snow Wolf Mountain is said to be from Dongzhou. Judging from his handling style, he is most likely the 'Sword Demon' who appeared in Huajunzhou a few days ago..."

"It feels inappropriate for such a domineering immortal to have the word 'demon' in his title..."

"Indeed, to ordinary people, 'monster' is a compliment to talent, but to put it on such a person, it is slander. Well... there are gods and gods who only assist in cultivation. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has the appearance of an immortal emperor. Otherwise, he will be called Forget about 'Sword Emperor'..."

"Hey! This is a bit too much. The word 'Sword Emperor' is too high-minded. No one dares to call the word 'Emperor' after the end of the path of immortality. The Taoist conduct of the Jade Steps is held above the head. It is really flattering. In my opinion, it is still Call him Sword King..."

"Sword King... right? Fellow Taoist, you have to be more careful what you say. Don't bring 'king' behind you..."

…

Xie Qiutao listened secretly, wondering why he couldn't be the Sword Emperor. He was stunned for a moment when he heard these words. When he realized it, he couldn't hold back and almost laughed out loud.

Zuo Lingquan naturally didn't take these private jokes to heart, and pulled Qiu Tao quickly out of the street and arrived at the gathering place of the Dongzhou monks.

Zuo Lingquan is a monk from Yuyaozhou. When the news came back that the Snow Wolf King was killed with a sword in the Snow Wolf Mountains, the fellow monks were naturally honored. There was a buzz of people in each building, all talking about the battle at the Snow Wolf Mountains. detail.

Zuo Lingquan didn't want to stir up trouble, so he quietly came to the building he entered when he first came here and looked for Nangong Zhaixing, who had assigned him a task.

Nangong Zhaixing is the deacon of Tiecu Mansion. He has confirmed the identity of 'Zuo Lengchan' through Shangguan Baxue's words and rumors. He also issued the recall order.

There were no outsiders in the building at this time, and Nangong Zhaixing was pacing back and forth in front of the bookshelf filled with files...

"Nangong Immortal Chief.

"Ouch!"

Nangong Zhaixing saw the white-robed swordsman and the round-faced girl coming in side by side. He still had the elders' demeanor from last time. He hurriedly came over to greet him and bowed his hands from afar:

"Don't be sorry, Zuo Jianxian is too approachable, just call me Xiaonan..."

"Xonan?"

"Well, my common surname is Nan. After I entered Tiecu Mansion, my master gave me the name 'Gong Zhaixing'. Many disciples of Tiecu Mansion are like this..."

Nangong Zhaixing was very polite and invited the two of them to sit down at the tea table that had been prepared. Even Tuanzi thoughtfully prepared a small futon and fruits. He looked out the door as he spoke:

"Tang Xianzi today..."

"Everything is fine, I just didn't come over today."

Zuo Lingquan took out the "Investigation of Shajiang" file from his sleeve and handed it to Deacon Nangong. According to the procedure, it needs to be reviewed and stamped by the deacon and recorded in the book. In the future, the nine sects will judge the merits and reward them.

But how could Nangong Zhaixing take this little errand seriously? He took it with both hands and said with a smile:

"I am clumsy and underestimated Zuo Jianxian's ability. I have arranged such a chore for you. I hope Zuo Jianxian doesn't mind..."

"Destroy demons and protect the Tao. No matter how big or small the matter is, there is no need for Deacon Nan to be so polite. You have called us back this time, but you have something important for me to deal with?"

"this……"

Nangong Zhaixing's expression was slightly embarrassed. He didn't know how to explain that after he knew Zuo Lingquan's supernatural power and Taoism, he naturally didn't dare to let a real jade-level sword cultivator come to see him like he did with ordinary casual cultivators.

But yesterday Miss Qiu's follower Yunzhi ran over and said that she had something important to do with Zuo Lingquan and asked Jiuzong to help contact him.

Miss Qiu's ancestor was the Lord of Barren Mountain and one of the eight talkers at the top of the Nine Sects. Deacon Nangong couldn't turn a blind eye, so he issued a recall order to bring back Zuo Lingquan and others who were outside.

At this time, Zuo Lingquan arrived, but Nangong Zhaixing didn't know what Miss Qiu was going to do. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Just when he was about to be a little more diplomatic and explain the whole story clearly, there were footsteps outside the door.

Zuo Lingquan turned around and saw a more mature woman holding a sword, slowly coming to the door. She behaved elegantly and respectfully, and bowed:

"Zuo Jianxian, I'm Yunzhi. Miss, please go to the house with Miss Xie to talk. I wonder if it's inconvenient for you right now?"

Zuo Lingquan knew that Yunzhi was Miss Qiu's follower, and understood that Miss Qiu had asked him to go back to Wangchuan City. Without saying much, he said goodbye to the deacon and went out with Qiu Tao.

Dongzhou Southern League came to help Huajunzhou, and the elders of the sects leading the teams were all together. This was not the case in Huajunzhou, where all the powerful immortal families had independent places to stay.

Yingyang Immortal Palace is one of the giants of Huajunzhou. The monks gather in the center of the city. Next door is Zixiao City where the ancestor of the Martial God is seated.

Zuo Lingquan followed Yunzhi and came directly from the trail to the back of the Yingyang Immortal Palace. After passing through the corridor, he arrived at a garden with an elegant environment.

The garden has a pleasant scenery. There is a tall building in the middle with the door wide open. Miss Qiu, wearing a white dress, stands under the eaves and waits quietly.

Not just because she was entertaining guests at home, but because she had other thoughts, Miss Qiu's dress was not as heroic as those in the Snow Wolf Mountains.

Miss Qiu does not have a sword. What she wears on her waist is a jade pendant made of hibiscus jade. Her hair is also pulled up in the style of a young lady who has not left the palace. A silver hairpin is inserted diagonally between her long black hair, and she wears a soft white hairpin. The skirt looks like the twenty-eighth beauty from a scholarly family, and the temperament is like an ink painting drawn with a plain brush. She is polite and approachable, and there is no trace of the airs of an immortal.

Tuanzi, who was squatting in Xie Qiutao's arms, saw the 'Touchi Ji' whom he had just met. His eyes naturally lit up, and he raised his little wings and waved to say hello:

"Ji~"

Miss Qiu raised her hand and waved in response, walked down the steps and came closer, and bowed:

"Zuo Jianxian, Miss Xie, did you have a good rest yesterday?"

Zuo Lingquan was so rested yesterday that he could not talk about these boudoir matters in front of outsiders. He just nodded and responded:

"It's pretty good. Is Miss Qiu's injury okay?"

"It's just a minor injury, not worth mentioning..."

…

Xie Qiutao knew that Miss Qiu had a secret meeting with Sister Lingye's man, and there must be something fishy about it. Although she wanted to listen in, she also knew that she was standing here and it was difficult for Miss Qiu to speak, so she smiled and said:

"Senior Sister Qiu, the scenery here is really nice. I'll take Tuanzi for a walk. You guys can chat first."

After saying that, he took Tuanzi and ran to the small garden on the side of the high-rise building.

Miss Qiu naturally did not stop this, but just asked Yunzhi to greet her. After the two of them walked away, she raised her hand to signal:

"Zuo Jianxian, go in and talk."

Zuo Lingquan had no dissatisfaction with Miss Qiu, but with Lingye behind his back, he had to care about Lingye's opinion no matter what. He didn't want to get too close to Miss Qiu, so he just responded warmly:

"We are all practitioners, so we don't have to worry about these red tapes. Miss Qiu asked me to come over, but is there something important?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I asked Zuo Jianxian to come over. The main reason is to thank him in person for the matter on Xuefeng Mountain..."

Miss Qiu stood in front of the door. After saying a few polite words, she added:

"The battle of Snow Wolf Mountain is successful. The alien race will definitely mobilize troops and re-build the defense line in the short term. This is a good opportunity to explore the enemy's situation. I originally wanted to go directly over Snow Wolf Mountain after a little repair to see what the alien race is doing to avoid the battle. Trick. But in the battle at Snow Wolf Mountain, fellow Taoist Zifeng from Zixiao City was injured and was unable to go into battle for a short period of time. I am short of someone here..."

Zuo Lingquan listened quietly and slowly understood the meaning:

"Miss Qiu wants me to join the gang and go over Snow Wolf Mountain together to explore the enemy's situation?"

"The northwest of Snow Wolf Mountain is the territory of the foreign race. It is difficult to fathom. This move is quite risky. However, Zuo Jianxian is qualified for this job. With me here, I can ensure the safety of Zuo Jianxian..."

When Miss Qiu said this, she suddenly remembered the scene of being hugged by Ling Kong two days ago, and changed her words:

"Oh, guarantee is too much to say. I might have to ask Zuo Jianxian to ensure my safety. This is how slaying demons is. No one can guarantee that nothing will go wrong. But if Zuo Jianxian goes with me, the safety will definitely be high. If you want to go it alone, I hope Zuo Jianxian will think about it."

Zuo Lingquan came here to support Zhengdao. This was a purely official matter, so there was no need to refuse. He responded:

"Everyone is working hard for the right path. There is no saying that anyone is helping anyone. Since Miss Qiu is short of manpower, I happen to be here, so it is appropriate to follow her."

Miss Qiu showed joy on her cheeks, but she hesitated and asked:

"Won't Zuo Jianxian discuss this with Madam?"

"...?"

Zuo Lingquan's expression didn't change much, and he was stunned.

Looking at Miss Qiu's eyes, he understood that Miss Qiu was afraid that he would be scolded by his wife if he ran out privately at home, so he asked him to say hello to his wife first and not to make his own decisions.

To put it simply, I think he is afraid of his wife.

Is Zuo Lingquan afraid of his wife?

Naturally, I'm still a little scared.

But this "fear" means "care and pampering", not strict hepatic control.

Furthermore, even if he is really afraid of his wife, which man would show it in front of outsiders?

"I came to Posuzhou to slay demons. Lingye knows right and wrong and has a sense of proportion in his heart. Since I promised Miss Qiu, Lingye will not stop me."

Miss Qiu looked dubious, hesitated, and said with a smile:

"Lingye and I are old acquaintances, and I know her temperament quite well. Well...she is relatively strong, both in practice and in private. She is very strong and likes to control others. Judging from Zuo Jianxian's tone, I think Lingye is so obedient and capable, he is so capable..."

Zuo Lingquan was often bullied by Ling Ye. He was a little embarrassed by the flattering words and shook his head:

"In spiritual practice, husbands and wives are treated equally. There is no secular saying that men are superior to women and who is in charge of whom."

Miss Qiu's main purpose today was to make some excuses and find out about Zuo Lingquan's situation after he entered the Tiecu Mansion. She continued:

"Well, the spiritual path talks about the equality of yin and yang, but there is always a difference between strong and weak people. How can a husband and wife truly respect each other as guests? The spiritual path is more utilitarian than the secular world, with background, Taoism, talent, etc. etc., can determine the dignity between husband and wife..."

Zuo Lingquan didn't know why, so he just nodded in agreement:

"That's true."

"I come from a good family. In the wealthy families on the mountain top, I have seen many Taoist monks who treat each other as guests, but in private they are like masters and servants. It is better for men to be strong and women to be weak. There are secular conventions in place, and female cultivators are honest. There is nothing wrong with taking care of the family business; but it is different for men. "

After Miss Qiu brought the topic to the key point, she looked a little more serious and looked at Zuo Lingquan:

"There are many old-school wealthy families in Huajunzhou, and there are naturally many fairies with strong backgrounds in them. For example, my junior sister Dongfang Yunzhi is famous for her appearance and talent, and her ancestor is the Yang God of the Immortal Lord. Such a woman from the fairy family , I have been raised in the palm of my hand since childhood, and it is impossible to marry outside. If you have a sweetheart, it is usually a marriage."

"..."

Zuo Lingquan blinked, not understanding what Miss Qiu meant.

"Getting married into the Immortal family is even more useless than the secular world. If you endure it slowly in the secular world, and wait until the old man dies, and you have children and grandchildren, you might be able to survive. But marrying into the wealthy Immortal family is not like that. When you are at a low level, you have to rely on others. Rich families appreciate food and drink, but you can't even think about feeling proud when you reach a high level; just like Yingyang Immortal Palace, as long as you enter the gate of Dongfang's house, even if you forget about it halfway, you will still be silent when you see the Yang God. There is a Yang God. Now, I don’t dare to treat the Dongfang family’s daughter badly…”

"Well...this situation is indeed a bit difficult..."

"This is still the case when women are well-educated. If a woman is spoiled and willful since she was a child, her life will be miserable after she gets married. I have heard before that a young man with good talent and good looks was married to a wealthy family. The eldest lady fell in love with him and wanted to take him as a son-in-law. It was okay at first, but after only two years of love, the eldest lady of the Xian family lost interest. Because the man said something unhappy, she made her kneel in the sect square for a whole day. God, he has been called a laughing stock by the world..."

Zuo Lingquan frowned. He was really interested in Miss Qiu's topic and asked:

"Then what?"

Miss Qiu looked sad, shook her head and sighed:

"What else can I do except hold it in? The ancestors of the wealthy family will not turn their elbows outward, and they must point towards their descendants. The male monk was so humiliated and humiliated that he did not dare to say a word. In the sect, he had to smile at everyone. , for fear that the ancestor would think he was dissatisfied and have evil intentions, so he would kill him, alas..."

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly and sighed:

"The path of spiritual practice is too deep. The gap cannot be made up by knowing one's shame and then being brave. Sometimes there is really no way to rely on others. No wonder this monk has no backbone."

Miss Qiu glanced at Zuo Lingquan:

"Lingye has a rather arrogant temperament, and her master is also a famous Valkyrie in the Nine Continents. I used to worry that if she had a husband, she would be like some unpopular women, and she would be too arrogant to give her husband a good look. If This is really the case. I am afraid that even Zuo Jianxian can't do anything about it; after all, Valkyrie is famous for her dominance in Jiuzhou. No matter how talented the young men in the world are, who dares to say 'no' in front of Valkyrie? Character."

"Um?"

Zuo Lingquan listened for a long time, and then he understood what Miss Qiu meant when she said these gossips. She was afraid that he would be bullied if he married Lingye, and because of the reputation of the Shangguan Patriarch, he dared not speak out in anger.

Zuo Lingquan felt a little dumbfounded.

Is he afraid of his ancestor?

It seemed like I was scared to death...

However, Zuo Lingquan also indirectly kissed and touched the ancestor. The ancestor was almost used to it and could calmly say, "Have you touched me enough?" ’ and so on, this relationship obviously has nothing to do with Miss Qiu’s worries.

Seeing Miss Qiu asking about this, Zuo Lingquan said:

"Lingye is not what he used to be. His temperament has changed a lot. If you get to know Miss Qiu more, you will naturally understand him."

"Yeah..."

Miss Qiu was fucked to pieces by Lingye in public, but she didn't think Shangguan Lingye had changed for the better. She thought about it and asked again:

"Is Zuo Jianxian much younger than Lingye? Did you become a Taoist couple because of the matchmaking between the Valkyries, or..."

Zuo Lingquan thought about it for a moment and said with a smile:

"It's a long story. Ancestor Shangguan has a noble character and will definitely not interfere in these matters. Lingye and I have been in love for a long time. Well... Lingye was the one who chased me first..."

"Yeah?!"

…

Men and women, also dressed in white, chatted side by side under the eaves.

When Tuanzi, who was playing in the small garden, heard this sentence, he said "jijiji?" twice in confusion, obviously saying when did the wet nurse chase you? It's obvious that the nanny was just being cute and abducted the nanny...

Zuo Lingquan heard Tuanzi's muttering, but he didn't feel guilty at all.

After all, the first time he and Ling Ye had different heartbeats was when they were drinking in the Dowager Palace and looked at each other.

And it was Lingye who called him over for that drinking session, saying that Lingye took the initiative to chase her first, so there should be nothing wrong with him, right?

No, Tuanzi wouldn’t tell Lingye about this, would he?

Looks like I’ll have to give you a few words of dried fish later…
