The fairy is fierce

As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more she likes him, but this saying is not always true.

Xie Wen sat on the armchair, his manners were gentle and easy-going, his eyes wandered between the men and women on both sides of the tea table, the more he looked... the more worried he felt!

Xie Wen was a mother. When Qiu Tou left her, she was less than six years old, with pigtails, big eyes and a round face, very much like her mother. She felt that when she grew up, she should be like her, a well-educated and prudent young lady.

But Qiu Tao in front of him was wearing a small skirt. Except for the pigtails that had been replaced with a girl's hair ornament, nothing else had changed. That would have been fine. She sat on the chair with her head down and kept silent. Her hands were still twirling the fabric of her skirt like a little girl. She didn't look very smart at first glance...

But Zuo Lingquan next to him was different. He had a well-proportioned figure and slender limbs, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He sat upright on the chair and didn't smile. He had an aloof temperament. I'm afraid no one would doubt that he was a fairy king who kept a young appearance.

It was nothing to see the two of them alone, but once they sat together, it felt like the girl next to them would be suppressed by the man after marrying into the family. She had to be afraid that her husband would despise her even if she smiled.

If that was all, Xie Wen could understand it. Women were like this. Although the women of the Xie family never married outside the family and only took in sons-in-law, that was an old rule for thousands of years. Now the Xie family had already fallen apart, and there was no confidence to keep this dead rule.

But the cold and stern swordsman in front of him didn't seem as cold and aloof as Xie Wen imagined. She was held down by the fierce woman just now, and saw with her own eyes that the boy hugged the woman's chest.

And the woman seemed to have gotten used to it, and didn't say anything at first, just a little fierce.

The reaction was so calm in public, how close they must be in private, Xie Wen didn't dare to think...

Xie Wen didn't know who the woman was, but he could guess that she must be of extraordinary status, which could be seen from Zuo Lingquan's somewhat henpecked behavior.

It's okay for a girl to be controlled by a man when she gets married, but if she marries a married man, she will be controlled by the first wife...

Xie Wen is the head of the family, and the men all come to the house. It's really hard to imagine how she lives under someone else's roof.

But she didn't dare to show her thoughts. She hadn't taken care of her daughter for so many years. If she said she was not satisfied with her son-in-law, she would be hated by her daughter... Zuo Lingquan sat upright and looked straight ahead, trying to be calm, but Qiutou didn't say anything, and Aunt Xie didn't say anything either. He couldn't help feeling embarrassed. After waiting for a while, he took the initiative to say: "Don't worry, Aunt Xie. Qiutou has lived a good life these years. She is smart and has not suffered much." Xie Wen nodded slightly, looking at Zuo Lingquan, and couldn't tell his age, so he asked: "Lingquan, how old are you this year?" Zuo Lingquan smiled and said, "Twenty-two in lunar age." "Twenty-two?" Xie Wen didn't see Zuo Lingquan's realm, but he could guess that he would definitely not be below the Jade Steps. This age was incredible. She said in amazement:

"I didn't expect that at only 22, Qiutou is older than you..."

"Mom!"

Qiutou, who was playing with her skirt, raised her head suddenly when she heard the voice, with a little shyness on her face:

"Mr. Zuo and I are three or four years apart, don't think too much."

Three or four years old?

Xie Wen was stunned for a moment, thinking: This girl actually knows how to pretend to be a little girl of 25 or 26 in front of her lover, doesn't she look stupid...

Seeing his daughter say this, Xie Wen naturally couldn't do anything wrong, just smiled:

"No matter the age of a cultivator, as long as they are in love, not to mention three or four years, three or four thousand years is not a problem. Um... Lingquan, do you already have a Taoist partner?"

"I..."

"No!"

Xie Qiutou looked at her mother with a smile, and said seriously:

"Mr. Zuo is obsessed with swordsmanship, and is devoted to cultivation and killing demons. How can he have time to think about these things, mother, don't ask."

Zuo Lingquan opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Although Xie Wen hadn't seen his daughter for many years and wanted to hold her and talk to her for three days and three nights, at this moment, he still thought of the feather duster in Linglong Pavilion.

This stinky girl, are you blind as a mother?

Xie Wen saw his daughter's attitude of protecting her husband, and there was no need to ask anything else. He looked at Zuo Lingquan and said:

"I am here, although I can't help myself, but I haven't suffered much. I raise turtles and teach disciples. It's quite fulfilling. You don't have to worry about it. Qiutou has grown up, and I can't take care of her as a mother. I can only ask you in the future."

Zuo Lingquan said seriously: "Don't worry, Aunt Xie, Qiutou and I have lived and died together for many years, and her affairs are my affairs. Although I can't let you get away now, as long as I know that you are here, I will never let Qiutou down."

Xie Qiutou nodded quickly: "Yes. Mr. Zuo and I are close friends who have been through thick and thin together..."

Xie Wen sighed secretly, and was speechless because of this silly girl. She thought about it and said directly:

"Qiutou is a little naughty, but as a lady of my Xie family, she is not inferior to any other woman in the world in terms of virtue. This jade pendant is the gift I prepared for her...dowry, I will give it to you today..."

As Xie Wen spoke, he took out a small jade turtle from his sleeve and wanted to hand it to Zuo Lingquan.

Zuo Lingquan naturally raised his hand to take it, but Qiutou, who was next to him, was a little at a loss. She directly pressed his hand down and snatched the jade turtle away:

"Mom, what are you doing..."

"Qiutou!"

After holding it in for so long, Xie Wen finally couldn't bear it any longer. His face darkened, and he took out the feather duster with a flick of his wrist.

Xie Qiutao shrank her neck when she saw this, and memories of her childhood came to mind. She quickly put the jade pendant into Zuo Lingquan's hand and said it properly:

"Hee~"

"..."

The familiar smiles and movements made Xie Wen's slight annoyance disappear in an instant. His brain was in a trance, and a sour taste appeared on the tip of his nose. He couldn't help but recall the scenes of mother and daughter together.

Zuo Lingquan held the jade pendant and saw that Xie Wen's mood fluctuated greatly and Qiu Tao also hesitated to speak. Knowing that it was difficult for the two of them to talk to each other since he was here, he opened his mouth and said:

"Auntie Xie, I remember what you just said. You and Qiutao haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's talk more."

Xie Wen slowly put down the feather duster, nodded slightly to Zuo Lingquan, and continued to look at his daughter who was biting her lower lip.

Zuo Lingquan smiled, stood up, bowed, turned and walked out of the house.

Xie Qiutao waited for the sound of closing the door, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time burst out. She stood up suddenly and threw herself into Xie Wen's arms. She pursed her lips at first, but she couldn't hold it in for a moment before she burst out crying. She didn't know she was crying with joy. Still sad.

"mother……"

Xie Wen had thousands of words to say, but he couldn't say them at this time. He held his daughter in silence for a moment, and tears appeared in his eyes...——

The moonlight is long.

Xie Wen is the person in charge of Xuanwu Lake. The spiritual beast breeding circle located inside the Cangsha Ancient River does not need special supervision. It is surrounded by disciples that Xie Wen has taken in the name of helpers. However, there is no one else in Xie Wen's house. .

Shangguan Yutang walked out of the hanging flower door and stood in the veranda of the outer courtyard, looking at the huge Xuanwu Lake outside. While analyzing various formations, he was thinking about the conversation just now, very focused.

Even if Miss Qiu was on the Jade Level, she was still too far away from the real ceiling of Jiuzhou to disturb the ancestors, so she stood in the verandah and looked at the giant tortoise in the yard.

The land turtle was Xie Wen's spiritual pet. At this time, he was lying on the ground obediently, looking down at the bird in front of him.

Tuanzi squatted in front of the mainland turtle's head and chatted "chichichichi..." and ate the spiritual fruit that the land turtle used as a midnight snack. He didn't think of himself as a foreign bird at all.

After Shangguan Yutang thought for a moment, maybe he had no clue, so he put it aside for the time being and turned around:

"After dawn, you go directly to Tianying Castle; Cave Heaven Paradise is an important source of income for the sect, and the monks here must be close friends of the ancestors. They may know some information. While you are looking for the prisoners, see if there is any chance to find out the inside story of this place."

Miss Qiu nodded and accepted the order, then looked back at the back house. Zuo Lingquan hadn't come out yet, and she didn't know how to chat with the Valkyrie. When she was hesitating, she suddenly remembered something about catching Qiu Tao Niang kissing her just now. , she seemed to see Valkyrie pressing down on Qiu Tao Niang, Zuo Lingquan holding Valkyrie with his hand still on...

"..."

Miss Qiu's initial nervousness suddenly turned into weirdness, and she subconsciously glanced at Shangguan Yutang's chest.

Shangguan Yutang has so much experience, but with just this small movement, she guessed what Miss Qiu was thinking, and explained calmly:

"I used the soup to calm my body. Zuo Lingquan's behavior just now in a hurry was to pursue the tranquility. It has nothing to do with me, so don't think too much about it."

Yeah?

Miss Qiu is not stupid. As a jade-level expert, her research on souls is quite impressive.

The essence of human beings is the soul, and the body is just the body, or even a tool; no matter where, the pursuit of responsibility is always to find the soul that controls the body, not the innocent victim whose body was controlled.

The Valkyrie used Miss Tang's body, and her breasts were grabbed by Zuo Lingquan just now. If Miss Tang was blamed, then who should be blamed if she scolds the woman in front of her now?

Miss Qiu felt very strange, but there were some things that she really didn't dare to think deeply about, as they were too subversive.

Shangguan Yutang knew that this matter was difficult to explain. After all, even she couldn't figure it out clearly. After careful consideration, something big was definitely going on, so she could only say:

"If your heart is clear, you will still be a saint even if your body is full of mud; if your heart is not clean, it will be meaningless if your clothes are neat and tidy. When looking at something, you must look at the original intention and heart. You cannot blind one eye and make a conclusion based on external behavior alone. You understand ”

These words are very philosophical. To put it simply, as long as your heart is clear, even if you have sex with Zuo Lingquan, you will still be clean; if you have a ghost in your heart, you will still keep a distance from Zuo Lingquan.

Miss Qiu definitely couldn't see through Valkyrie's heart, but the accumulated impressions over time convinced her that it was impossible for Valkyrie to do such a weird thing as marrying her son-in-law, so she looked very ashamed in her eyes and said with cupped hands:

"I'm rude, I hope Senior Shangguan won't blame me."

Shangguan Yutang nodded slightly, meaning that the boy can be taught.

While the two were chatting, the backyard opened and Zuo Lingquan walked out.

Miss Qiu guessed why Xie Wen left Zuo Lingquan behind. Although she had some thoughts about Zuo Lingquan's several Taoist companions, she still hoped that Qiu Tao would survive.

Seeing Zuo Lingquan coming over, Miss Qiu asked curiously:

"How is it? Are Aunt Xie satisfied with you?"

Zuo Lingquan didn't expect Miss Qiu to be so smart and said with a smile:

"I just talked about some common things. If you ask Qiutao about the specifics, it's not easy for me to talk nonsense."

Miss Qiu had already seen that Zuo Lingquan was afraid of his wife, so she was not surprised by this.

Shangguan Yutang glanced at Zuo Lingquan and walked towards the corner of the verandah:

"Zuo Lingquan, come here."?

When Zuo Lingquan heard this, his smile froze, knowing that the ancestor was going to deal with him.

But why?

Zuo Lingquan felt that he had performed very well today and had made no mistakes. He was suddenly called aside so seriously by his ancestor, and felt a little innocent.

Zuo Lingquan followed quickly, and after turning the corner of the verandah, he asked:

"Senior, do you have anything to do with me?"

Shangguan Yutang walked out for a while, and after making sure that Miss Qiu was not eavesdropping, he turned around with a slightly cold expression:

"Zuo Lingquan, you have become more and more unbridled recently. Just now, you acted in public, don't you think this will misunderstand others?"

Zuo Lingquan might be used to being touched. The ancestor didn't say much about him before, and he didn't take the little mistake just now to heart. Seeing the ancestor showing such a face, Zuo Lingquan knew that Miss Qiu must be suspicious, and he He quickly said:

"I was in a hurry just now, and senior used Jing Xun's body again. I instinctively... This move was not directed at senior, I just did it unintentionally."

Shangguan Yutang didn't believe this at all. In order to make Zuo Lingquan pay attention to the rules in the future, she continued:

"Instinct? Last time on the Snow Wolf, you took revenge on Niu Niu. Was it intentional or unintentional?"

Zuo Lingquan said naturally: "It must have been unintentional. I caught it easily. How could I intentionally be frivolous towards a woman?"

"Unintentionally, where did you hug me?"

Zuo Lingquan's expression stiffened: "Waist."

"You know how to behave with others without even realizing it; why are you so direct when you come to me? Don't you treat me as an outsider?"

"No, no..." Zuo Lingquan tried his best to explain: "Miss Qiu is herself. Senior, you used the Jingxun body, and I..."

"Are you sure that deep down in your heart, you don't know that this body is the deity?"

Zuo Lingquan must know!

But it wasn't his first time touching him, and the ancestor wouldn't hit him, so he relaxed his vigilance and touched it easily...

Naturally, Zuo Lingquan did not dare to express these inner thoughts. If he spoke out, he would be beaten to death. He could only say:

"I was in a hurry and I really didn't pay attention. It was my negligence. I think I won't be reckless next time."

Shangguan Yutang's eyes were serious: "Next time you behave rudely to me in public, I will not be lenient again and will give you the fate you deserve. I hope you will take care of yourself."

In public?

Zuo Lingquan thought for a moment and asked curiously:

"If in private, I accidentally...hiss!"

Bang

There was a muffled sound in the corridor.

Shangguan Yutang threw Zuo Lingquan over his shoulder with a backhand, pushing Zuo Lingquan to the ground, pressing his knees to his chest, condescendingly, with cold eyes:

"Who do you think I am?!"

Zuo Lingquan was almost knocked out of breath after being thrown, and Tangtang was really beaten. Naturally, his mind suddenly cleared up and he answered seriously:

"The Lord Linyuan, the Supreme Lord of the Nine Alliances, the founder of the Iron Ancestor Mansion, the guardian and talker of Jade Yao Continent, the ultimate role model for female cultivators in the world, the Valkyrie, one of the Ten Immortals..."

Shangguan Yutang was made to laugh by Zuo Lingquan's timid appearance and words, but his strong mind still allowed her to maintain her immortal posture and continued:

"And you?"

"Zuo Lingquan, Lingye's husband, a little unknown swordsman, is different from his predecessor Yunni."

Shangguan Yutang nodded with satisfaction: "It's good to know the difference between you and me. I treat you generously because I appreciate you; if you don't know the boundaries, take appreciation as a sign of weakness, feel that you can push yourself further, or even have evil intentions, it is disrespectful to me; and You should understand what happens to people who don’t respect me.”

Zuo Lingquan found it quite interesting after he got used to it being handled by Yutang. But he didn't dare to show that he was enjoying it, and said seriously:

"clear."

After Shangguan Yutang examined Zuo Lingquan for a moment, he felt that he was duplicity and wanted to give a few more warnings, but...

Zuo Lingquan was pressed under him, with a serious face as he accepted his ancestor's words of "conquering others with martial virtue". Suddenly he noticed that the cold ancestor's right eye showed a little light and his body became a little stiff, and then he said:

"Are you trying to be mean to my man again? Xiao Zuo said it wasn't intentional..."

The words stopped suddenly again, and the woman on top of him began to freeze on the spot. It must be that the two women inside him started to quarrel.

Zuo Lingquan blinked. To be honest, he was a little embarrassed. He could only lie there and wait for the two of them to finish their argument.

But what I didn't expect was that the two people not only quarreled this time, but also started fighting!

The woman kneeling on his chest suddenly raised her right arm, grabbed his hand, and pressed it on her left chest.

Although Zuo Lingquan didn't know the process, he could guess that Jing Xun must be saying: "What's wrong with touching me? My man touches my body, what does it have to do with you? I just touch..."

The ancestor should control the left side of his body, and quickly push his hand away with his left hand, and then the left and right hands began to fight each other. The scene looked quite weird.

"..."

What could Zuo Lingquan say? He couldn't afford to offend his ancestor, and he couldn't persuade Xun Xun to stop, so he could only let his hand be held and touched here and there in an attitude of non-resistance, non-initiative and irresponsibility. Watching a show...——

other side.

Shangguan Lingye and his party followed the news collected along the way and came to the area of ​​Tianying Castle.

Tianying Fort is an property of the Superintendent Temple. The Tianying City outside the mountain is the Fairy Market. The fortress on the mountain overlooking the city is the private property of the Superintendent Temple. There are monks who sit here to guard the Huangliang Blessed Land inside.

The Huangliang Paradise is similar to the Iron Cluster Cave and the Divine Fire Cave. It is a place for monks to experience and further their studies. Therefore, many monks come here, but the high price of incense also discourages most people.

The Immortal Family monopolizes the paradise of the cave, and the appearance is too ugly. It is easy for the desperate cultivators to attack in groups and ruin the reputation. Therefore, they will probably make some excuses, such as rewards in competitions, winning prizes when buying elixirs, and even the first person to enter the market. Wait, let the casual cultivators who are not qualified to enter fight for it. This will not only increase the customer flow of the Xianjia Market, but also bring prestige to the sect.

The same is true for the Supervisor Temple. Because the sect is very martial, the way to obtain the qualifications to enter the blessed land is naturally to compete.

At nightfall, the martial arts stage in the center of the main street of Tianying City was crowded with people, all watching the monks competing on the stage.

In a nearby Xianjia restaurant with a great view, Shangguan Lingye held a big white cat in his arms and chatted with Jiang Yi about how to find out the news:

"The head of Tianying Castle is Xu Yuanfeng, a disciple of Demon Sword Gu Chen. While guarding the blessed land, he will also help the alien race select suitable casual cultivators. If you want to investigate the alien race's main attack direction, you must either capture Xu Yuanfeng or be selected to join the alien race. As a hidden stake..."

"The alien race must be very strict about the background of casual cultivators. If you and Sister Yingying go there, you can scare the alien race to death; my aunt and I are quite suitable..."

"You and Qingwan have little experience, and you rashly infiltrated into the alien army. You won't be able to survive for more than half a day before the old monsters will see your flaws. The only one who is qualified for this job is Qiu Tao."

Jiang Yi opened her mouth, but did not refute. After all, in terms of detective disguise and ability to adapt to unfamiliar environments, Lingye could not compare to Qiu Tao, especially the others. She thought for a while and said:

"What should we do? Go catch Xu Yuanfeng?"

Shangguan Lingye shook his head slightly: "Xu Yuanfeng is a martial arts cultivator, so it is not easy to catch him. If he is caught, it will be difficult to interrogate him for information, and he will also scare the snake. This target is too difficult to catch and is not suitable. Let's change it to another one."

In the room, Cui Yingying was watching Qingwan making the 'White Tiger Sword'. Seeing the two people's sad faces, she said:

"I'll ask Yutang to see what she has to say."

Cui Yingying used her life to contact the ancestral tree in Taohuatan and wanted to talk to Shangguan Yutang.

The connection between the Peach Blossom Ancestral Tree and Cui Yingying is not as direct as the connection between souls, and is still a bit delayed.

After a while, Cui Yingying frowned, her gentle and mature cheeks showing a hint of suspicion.

Wu Qingwan noticed something was wrong, put down the carving knife in her hand, and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Shangguan Lingye and Jiang Yi also turned around and looked at Cui Yingying.

Cui Yingying actually had nothing to do with her, but when she was communicating with Yutang, she found that Yutang was a bit arrogant in her speech, and she didn't know what kind of shameful things she was doing.

But judging from the sky, it is estimated that Jing Xun and Zuo Lingquan were flirting with each other, so it would not be surprising that Shangguan Yutang would suffer disaster as well.

Cui Yingying did not go into details and said: "She asked us to do our own thing. Zuo Lingquan and Qiu Niuniu will handle the Tianying Fort."

When Shangguan Lingye heard this, although he did not dare to disobey his master, he was still a little unhappy and sat down at the table:

"I can't even handle it, how can Qiu Niuniu handle it?"

Jiang Yi was very interested in this topic and answered:

"That's right. Now that we have a new person, we forget about the old one. In the past, Lingye was always by my side when I went into danger, but now it's Qiu Niuniu. Alas, maybe this is the change of fortune~"

Shangguan Lingye rubbed the white cat and responded with a smile: "Jiang Yi, after two years of practice, your jealous little temper has changed."

Jiang Yi picked up the seal with the word '正' and played with it, her smile was like a spring breeze:

"You have to make some progress. If you want to live a good life, you have to relax. Even if we work hard here and a woman hooks up with your man outside, we can't care about it, right Lingye?"

Shangguan Lingye was in an incorrect position, so he was speechless.

Leng Zhu silently made tea beside him, feeling that the princess had changed. She used to be a small vinegar jar and was sour when seeing everyone, but now she has changed into a vinegar pot, watching Ling Ye pour the tea into the bowl alone. Although the method is a bit unique, to be honest, it looks pretty cool.

Cui Yingying saw that the two started to fight each other again, she blinked and interjected:

"Qiu Niuniu is following Zuo Lingquan, and there is indeed something about it... How about we meet them and ask Qiu Niuniu to come over, and I can continue to follow Zuo Lingquan?"

Shangguan Lingye did not object to Cui Yingying following. After all, Cui Yingying had already boarded the ship. As the eldest, she had to take care of her sister, but the current situation did not allow it. She shook her head and said:

"Zuo Lingquan has master's help. If senior Yingying comes over, we will have to fend for ourselves. Qiu Niuniu will not be able to help us except to fight against me."

Cui Yingying knew that this idea was unrealistic, and smiled and said: "Just say it, how about you accompany Zuo Lingquan and ask Qiu Niuniu to come over?"

Shangguan Lingye was in favor of this proposal, but Jiang Yi said seriously:

"No, Lingye is thoughtful and resourceful. She is our backbone. Once she leaves, won't the team break up? Those who want to achieve great things must endure what ordinary people can't bear. Even if we know that Qiu Niuniu is poaching, we can't act selfishly. It’s delaying business, don’t you think so, Lingye?”

It's a hammer!

Shangguan Lingye City Mansion is also really nice. He took a breath and nodded slightly:

"Jiang Yi is right."

Wu Qingwan watched the three people's words and couldn't help but shook her head secretly and said: The three monks have no water to eat. The ancients are sincere and I can't bully them. Alas...

Wu Qingwan was Zuo Lingquan's first woman anyway. No one could shake her status, and she was too lazy to compete with her sisters. She never let go of her second uncle's matter. Seeing that the three of them were chatting to death, she thought for a while and said:

"I've been looking around, but there's no suitable target. Over there at Wangtidal Beach, it's said to be the Kuibingzhou Tiandi City's workshop, which specializes in making war-ready supplies for foreign races. Why don't you go there and have a look?"

Shangguan Lingye was so annoyed by Jiang Yi's criticism that he took it seriously and took out the map to check:

"Let's study it first. If your second uncle is really there, it might be more difficult to deal with than Tianying Fort..."

...
