Chapter 211: Startled

Shan Gao ate four and a half fish, and then turned around to see Jiang Lisheng was full, sitting lazily, and didn't seem to plan to eat anymore, so he stared at the fish again. He didn't forget that it was the half fish he exchanged for the whole fish, but she obviously couldn't eat anymore.

Jiang Lisheng noticed its gaze and immediately took out a large box, put the whole fish in it, and said to it, "Don't worry about it. You've already eaten so much. I'll take this one back and share it with my uncles, sisters, and fellow apprentices."

Shan Gao could only give up with resentment.

Ye Xingci looked at the man and the beast with amusement, "Junior Sister Jiang, where else do you want to go? Or should I take you back?"

"I'm not going anywhere." Jiang Lisheng looked scared, "I'd better go back!"

"It's okay. If you want to turn, I'll accompany you." Ye Xingci said.

Jiang Lisheng still shook his head, "No, no, I won't turn around anymore. Let's go back. Senior Brother Ye, you must be very busy. I have disturbed you for so long, I won't bother you anymore. Shan Gao and I can go back by ourselves."

"I'll take you there." Ye Xingci did have something to deal with, and when he saw her shaking her head, he stopped inviting her and stood up to call her over.

The two men and one beast got on the Luan carriage and left Luoyun Peak.

Jiang Lisheng was afraid that the waterfall of Qixia Peak would splash onto her again and be noticed by Ye Xingci, so after getting on the Luan Car, she said to him, "Brother Ye, let's take a detour. I don't want to go to Qixia Peak again. I don't want to meet that old ancestor."

Ye Xingci nodded, "Okay."

He gave an order, and the Luan carriage bypassed Qixia Peak.

After returning to Yingke Peak, Jiang Lisheng jumped off the carriage and thanked Ye Xingci, "Brother Ye, thank you."

Ye Xingci shook his head, "Junior Sister Jiang, you are too polite. Go back! As long as you don't try to catch the carp that Uncle Master Wen raises, you don't have to be too careful in other places."

Jiang Lisheng still shook his head, "No, Senior Brother Ye, I'm going to stay in the room and practice calligraphy from now on, and I won't go out anymore."

Seeing that she was really frightened, Ye Xingci could only say, "Then when I'm free, I'll come find you and take you out."

With him by her side, she would never be afraid.

Jiang Lisheng refused decisively, "Brother Ye, I have troubled you enough today. No need. Just focus on your own business. It is a turbulent time outside right now. You have so many things to deal with, and you have to practice at a fixed time every day. Don't waste your time looking for me. I can play in the yard by myself."

Ye Xingci smiled and said, "Okay, if I have time, I will come over. If I don't have time, then Junior Sister Jiang will have to play by herself."

Jiang Lisheng nodded.

Ye Xingci left in a phoenix carriage.

Jiang Lisheng watched him leave, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally let go. However, he still didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief behind him.

Xi Jili appeared silently behind Jiang Lisheng, following Jiang Lisheng's line of sight and watching Ye Xingci leave. A gloomy look appeared in his eyes. When he disappeared, Jiang Lisheng was still watching him, without looking away, and the gloominess in his eyes became even deeper.

Jiang Lisheng turned around and was startled to see Xi Jili standing behind her, "Junior brother? When did you appear behind me? You did it without anyone noticing and gave me a fright."

The expression in Xi Jili's eyes suddenly faded, and his tone was as usual, "Senior Sister, is that Ye Xingci? He's gone, but you kept looking at him for so long."

Jiang Lisheng uttered a "hmm", took two steps back, and whispered: "I'm in trouble again, right? Thanks to Senior Brother Ye's face, I didn't get killed. I'm feeling sad in my heart. Thank him."

Upon hearing this, Xi Jili asked, "Senior Sister, what trouble have you gotten into again?" Jiang Lisheng naturally would not tell him about absorbing other people's spiritual veins, for fear of scaring Xi Jili and also afraid that there might be ears on the other side of the wall. He simply told him that he and Shan Gao went out for a stroll, walked to Qixia Peak, and saw that the fish in the pool under the waterfall were fat and good, and looked very delicious. He caught them and wanted to roast them, but he didn't expect that he would get into trouble all of a sudden.

Hearing that she had blown up one of Taiyi's ancestors, Xi Jili was also shocked. He ignored the gloomy mood in his heart and asked in surprise: "Did that ancestor embarrass Senior Sister?"

"He didn't make it difficult for me, but he almost strangled Shan Gao to death." Jiang Lisheng described the situation to him again, and said with a fearful face: "I ran away quickly and didn't dare to go back to confront him. I am a person without any spiritual power, but I could actually feel that he was looking at me. I was so scared that my heart almost jumped out of my chest."

Xi Jili breathed a sigh of relief, "Senior Sister, you did act a little ridiculous. We are guests of Taiyi, not in our own Qingxu. How could you just go into the water with Shan Gao and catch other people's fish?"

Jiang Lisheng could only say: "I'm greedy."

Xi Jili was speechless. If we talk about greed, she was indeed greedy, and she was capable of doing such a thing.

He asked, "What about now? Does the old ancestor not care?"

"I don't think so. It's been half a day, and you haven't come to settle the score with me." Jiang Lisheng took out a large box from his storage ring and handed it to him. "Here, this is for you. I specially saved it for you. Share it with Uncle Chu and Pei Rong. Teach Pei Rong the basic skills. Thank you for your hard work, little junior brother."

Xi Jili took it and felt much better. "Is it grilled fish? Thank you, Senior Sister."

"Yes, it's grilled fish." Jiang Lisheng took out a large box from the storage ring, "Here is another one, which I forcibly took out from Shan Gao's mouth. I'm going to give it to Uncle Yu and the sisters."

Xi Jili nodded, "Go ahead, Senior Sister!"

Jiang Lisheng took the big box and went to find Yu Congrong. After walking a few steps, he turned back and whispered to Xi Jili, "Junior brother, I won't go to find Uncle Chu. Please tell Uncle Chu that I didn't mean to cause trouble. I will definitely not go out and hang out again."

Xi Jili nodded, "Okay, I'll tell Master."

Jiang Lisheng turned around and left briskly.

Xi Jili looked at Jiang Lisheng, and after her figure disappeared, he lowered his head to look at the big box in his hand, opened it and took a look. It was indeed a big grilled fish, with a fragrant smell. He closed the box and took it to find Chu Bitumen.

Chu Bitumen was recovering from his injuries. He had been seriously injured at the Qixuan Sect. He had just recovered about 70% of his injuries after regulating his breathing, but he had not yet fully recovered. When Xi Jili came, he had just finished meditating for a whole week. When he heard the knock on the door, he knew it was Xi Jili and said, "Come in."

Xi Jili entered the room, put the big box on the table, and told Chu Bitumen about Jiang Lisheng's outing today. Finally, he added that the fish was brought back by her.

After hearing this, Chu Bitumen's face changed. "That great-grandmaster Wen from Taiyi?" He took two steps back and forth, feeling angry and helpless. "This girl is really... She almost caused a disaster again with a little carelessness."

Xi Jili said, "Master, don't worry. The old ancestor didn't care." Although he didn't want to mention Ye Xingci, he had to admit that he had to thank him today. "Senior Brother Ye has been grilling fish with Senior Sister for half a day. The old ancestor didn't look for her again. This matter should be over."

Chu Bitumen was annoyed, "Go and call her over later. I must give her a good lecture."

Xi Jili pleaded, "Senior sister has admitted her mistake. She has gone to find Master Yu from Kunlun. Master Yu will definitely give her a lecture. You just..."

"After all, your uncle Yu is from Kunlun. Even if I say something to her, I won't be too strict with her. I still have to teach her a lesson." Chu Bitumen made up his mind. "I thought she was sensible, but she still got into trouble if I wasn't careful. Can she just catch the fish raised in the cold pond? She has no spiritual power, so why would she go into the water to catch fish? It's just nonsense!"

Xi Jili wanted to plead again.

Chu Bitumen waved his hand to stop him, "I can't eat this fish, take it away and go get her to me."

Xi Jili stood still and did not take the fish away. He begged in a roundabout way, "Master, if Senior Sister had not been naughty since she was a child, she would not have been able to save us in Qixuanmen with those talismans and magic weapons she had made in the past. Senior Sister is afraid of you and knows that she has caused trouble again this time. She did not dare to come to you herself. Please don't be too strict."

Chu Bitumen inhaled, "One by one of you, just spoil her, just go."
