Chapter 224: Unsure of Myself
Xi Jili watched with his own eyes as his senior sister and Lan Fengling got along better and better. After arriving at Lingjian Peak, they actually got off the Luan carriage hand in hand. In just two cups of tea, they had become good friends who could talk about anything. Lan Fengling also completely lost her dissatisfaction and hostility towards his senior sister, and started talking and laughing with her, as if they were real sisters.
He followed behind the two of them, speechless and silent.
Lan Fengling suddenly turned around to glance at Xi Jili, and said to Jiang Lisheng: "Your little junior brother's personality is too dull and boring."
Jiang Lisheng immediately turned hostile, "Senior Sister Lan, what are you talking about? I don't allow you to say that about my junior brother. He is obviously cute and likable."
Lan Fengling was surprised, "Why didn't I see that?"
"That's because your eyesight is poor." Jiang Lisheng defended his junior brother, "My junior brother is younger than me, and younger than Senior Brother Chen, but he has already reached the foundation building stage."
Lan Fengling choked, "What do you mean by that? You're comparing me to Senior Brother Chen?"
"Can't I compare? I'm telling the truth." Although Jiang Lisheng felt that it was a bit unfair to compare like this, she knew the difference between close and distant. Although she and Chen Liuan were close friends, she had watched her little brother grow up since he was a child. "My little brother is just very talented. He just doesn't like to talk to you. It doesn't mean he has a dull personality."
"Alright!" Lan Fengling realized that she couldn't win the argument, so she gave up. "Senior Brother Chen's talent is actually very high, he's just been delayed a little."
Jiang Lisheng would like to hear the details.
Lan Fengling stopped talking, as if she had some taboo, and changed the subject, "That courtyard is my Juyun Courtyard."
Jiang Lisheng's attention was drawn to him. "Senior Sister Lan, your yard is so beautiful."
She exclaimed, "Spirit Sword Peak is also very beautiful. The spiritual energy here seems to be more intense than anywhere else, making people feel refreshed and clear."
Lan Fengling nodded, "Spiritual Sword Peak is right next to the Sword Tomb, and the Sword Tomb is the place with the most abundant spiritual veins in our sect. The spiritual veins nourish the Sword Tomb, and the Sword Tomb replenishes the spiritual veins. Over time, this Spiritual Sword Peak has been close to water and has also been adequately nourished."
Jiang Lisheng's heart trembled when she heard the word "spiritual vein". She hesitated a little, "Well, Senior Sister Lan, I remembered that I have something else to do, so I won't go in. I'll come to play with you another day?"
Lan Fengling was surprised. "We are already at the door. What do you want? Is it urgent?"
"Yes, it's very important. It was Uncle Yu who told me before I left Yingke Peak to meet Brother Chen, to go see her as soon as I got back." She scratched her head. "I just saw you on the way, you're so beautiful, and you were waiting to make friends with me. As soon as I saw you, I forgot about this matter. When you mentioned the Sword Tomb just now, I thought of Sister Shang who was punished to the Sword Tomb, and Brother Lu who stood up for me, and naturally thought of his master, Uncle Yu, and then I suddenly remembered this matter..."
Lan Fengling didn't understand what she said for a moment, so she asked, "Is it Master Yu Congrong from Kunlun?"
"Yes, it's Uncle Yu from Kunlun." Jiang Lisheng nodded repeatedly, "She is the master of Senior Brother Lu Shaoling."
Lan Fengling suddenly realized, "Well, if I'm free tomorrow, I'll pick you up to play."
After spending a short time together, she changed her earlier bad impression of Jiang Lisheng and felt that this junior sister was very likable. She was happy to be friends with her, especially since she realized that she didn't seem to have any romantic feelings for Chen Liuan and it didn't hinder her in any way, so naturally she no longer had any hostility towards her.
Jiang Lisheng nodded repeatedly, "Yeah."
She said goodbye to Lan Fengling, and got back on the Luancha with Xi Jili, leaving Lingjian Peak. Lan Fengling watched the two of them leave, and when they were far away, Jiang Lisheng turned back and waved at her, and she couldn't help but smiled and waved back.
After leaving Lingjian Peak and walking a long way, Jiang Lisheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call. She almost accidentally touched someone's spiritual vein again. At that time, she felt that Lingjian Peak had an inexplicable attraction to her. If Lan Fengling hadn't mentioned the spiritual vein sword tomb, she wouldn't have thought that once she stepped in, wouldn't it be the same as the Qixia Peak Bihantan sucking someone's spiritual vein? Once it happened, the old ancestor surnamed Wen would definitely notice it and rush over, and then she would be finished.
Although Jiang Lisheng had never experienced any evil people since she was a child, she had heard a lot of stories from her master, such as fellow disciples killing each other, sects harming each other, etc. Although the three sects had been mutually beneficial and helping each other for tens of thousands of years, who could guarantee that they would not turn against each other one day? She had better be cautious and must not be the fuse.
Although Xi Jili didn't understand why Jiang Lisheng suddenly changed her mind, he knew that she must be hiding something. He looked at Jiang Lisheng and asked, "Senior Sister, what's wrong?"
He remembered clearly that Uncle Yu did not tell her to go back and see her quickly.
Jiang Lisheng couldn't say it out loud. After all, this was Taiyi's territory. With the old ancestor watching her all the time, she didn't dare to act rashly or reveal anything. She could only shake her head, very helpless, "Junior brother, let's leave quickly. I always feel that Taiyi is not safe."
Xi Jili nodded, "Let's go back to find my master and Uncle Master Yu. Everyone's injuries are almost healed. As for the two uncles who are still in Zhuling Pond, we can leave someone in Taiyi to look after them."
Jiang Lisheng nodded.
Xi Jili sensed her urgency and instability, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, Senior Sister. I'm here."
Jiang Lisheng thought, it would be of no use no matter who was there, as this was a big deal as she could absorb someone else's spiritual vein. She had no words to express her pain, so she could only pat him on the shoulder and say no more.
They didn't meet anyone else on the way, and the two returned to Yingke Peak smoothly.
Chu Bitumen was relieved to see that they returned safely. He asked Jiang Lisheng, "Did you see them? Did you get into trouble?"
Jiang Lisheng shook his head, "No, I'm very good."
It’s no wonder that Uncle Chu is worried about her; she herself is worried about herself.
Chu Bitumen nodded and said to her, "In my opinion, you should stop running around and just go to sleep."
Jiang Lisheng's heart ached, but she couldn't say anything. Even sleeping would cause problems. She could only say tiredly, "Uncle Chu, talk to Uncle Yu. Let's go. What do you think?"
She still said the same thing, "I always feel that if I stay in Taiyi any longer, I will get into big trouble."
"Yeah, I have the same intuition." Chu Bitumen also felt uneasy. "Come on, you come with me, let's go find Junior Sister Yu and discuss it."
Jiang Lisheng nodded and followed him to find Yu Congrong.
Yu Congrong was also thinking about Jiang Lisheng's matter. Taiyi's uncle Master Wen had lived for so many years, he would not do anything without a purpose. And Jiang Lisheng's spiritual palace was different from that of ordinary people. Although she had lost all her cultivation now, she could not be trusted. She was really afraid that she would cause a big trouble in Taiyi, and she would not be able to explain to Wei Qinglan. After all, she promised Qinglan to take care of her.
