Chapter 87
The four peak masters, who happened to be carrying gifts, stepped into Mingyan's cav
"Is she your sister too?"
"What, fellow Daoist, are you referring to your sister as well?"
Qian Hengduo turned around in surprise and met Qiao Pingsheng's hesitant gaze.
He scrutinized Qiao Pingsheng closely, his discerning gaze sweeping over his clothing, appearance, and overall demeanor...
Three seconds later, Qian Hengduo smiled and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Qian Hengduo of the Holy Bright Sect, may I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"
Qiao Pingsheng found it amusing and clasped his hands in greeting: "Qiao Pingsheng of Tianji Pavilion."
What did this person see in him after looking at him for a few seconds?
Unexpectedly, Qian Hengduo immediately said, "Brother Qiao, Hengduo acknowledges your strength. Since we share a sister, then you are my elder brother!"
Qiao Pingsheng: "?"
Those around: "?"
Shen Shu'an covered her face speechlessly. Good, good, good. Qian Hengduo, oh Qian Hengduo, you are indeed worthy of the Qian family bloodline. You really have a good eye.
Whether one's cultivation level is stronger or weaker, whether one has wealth or not, can be known with a single glance.
"Chirp chirp!"
Fragrant lady, Little Sparrow calls for Sparrow, but Sparrow goes first!
Just then, a chirping sound came from not far away. Yuanyuan glanced at it and then looked at Shen Shuan with her sharp, beady eyes.
Shen Shu'an was also taken aback, then nodded solemnly: "Go, Yuanyuan."
These past few days, Yuanyuan has been appearing and disappearing mysteriously, leaving early and returning late, sometimes even busier than me.
I don't know what big thing they're doing, but for some reason it makes me feel a sense of awe and wonder.
Having received a reply, the round, dotted little head spread its wings and flew away.
Its tiny, beady eyes were full of determination.
Don't worry, Sparrow will definitely make something of himself!
Moreover, Sparrow has been getting stronger recently, enough to fight alongside humans!
As she thought about it, Yuanyuan's body suddenly stretched and elongated, becoming sharp and turning into a pale purple hue on the horizon.
Only then did Shen Shu'an silently withdraw her gaze.
Yuanyuan, you have such high aspirations! People should always strive to be more positive!
"sister."
"sister!"
Unexpectedly, two voices rang out at the same time.
Yuan Yuan's cries attracted their attention, and the two immediately left the crowd and came to Shen Shu'an's side.
Shen Shu'an, observing the surrounding gazes, nodded slightly: "Brother Qiao, Brother Qian!"
Qian Hengduo: "???"
Why does everyone call him "sister" when he's the older brother and I'm the younger brother? Sister, isn't the younger brother the closest brother to the older sister?
Qian Hengduo: "QAQ"
Qiao Pingsheng: "^_^"
Shen Shu'an avoided Qian Hengduo's gaze, then looked down guiltily at the teleportation stone at her waist: "Oh dear, never mind, my master is calling me."
"Brother Qiao, Brother Qian, see you later!"
As she spoke, she picked up her teleportation stone with an air of importance.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wanqiu's face showed a hint of doubt.
What? My sister's teleportation stone isn't making any noise at all?
But seeing Shen Shu'an's expression, she didn't ask any questions.
Xuan Yi silently stepped forward two steps, "I'll go too, Shen Shu'an, I'll take you."
As he spoke, a flash of cold light appeared, and a dragon-patterned magic sword was drawn. Xuan Yi lightly stepped onto the sword and looked down at Shen Shu'an.
Shen Shu'an: "?"
She looked at the teleportation stone at her waist with suspicion, but after a second of silence, she decisively stepped onto the Xuan Yi Magic Sword.
"Sister, Xuan Yi and I will go first!"
Although Shen Wanqiu was puzzled, she still smiled and nodded: "An'er, since Ancestor Mingyan has summoned you, then go quickly."
After the two sisters finished speaking, Xuan Yi flashed a cold light and left in an instant with Shen Shu'an.
On the sword, Shen Shu'an sat cross-legged solemnly.
"When did my grandmaster contact me?"
Xuan Yi: "Didn't you say that?"
Shen Shu'an looked up and met Xuan Yi's golden eyes, her expression one of exasperation: "I was just talking nonsense!"
"I'm so disappointed, Xuan Yi. Our unspoken understanding and bond all this time..."
Seeing that Shen Shu'an had begun, Xuan Yi chuckled softly, interrupting the chanting: "Shen Shu'an, what do you plan to do with those dragon scales?"
"Today I saw that the dragon was like a pair of sickles, with a malevolent aura surrounding it, likely made from the scales of its parents. If you don't have a powerful magical armor, how can you defend yourself against it?"
As he spoke, Xuan Yi glanced indifferently at the girl who was sitting cross-legged on the sword, practicing her internal energy.
Shen Shu'an could practice her skills and chat at the same time, and was already a master of multitasking. Hearing this, she nodded in appreciation.
"Not bad, not bad, Xuan Yi, you're very thoughtful. I approve of you!"
"I was also looking for my master about this matter, and I didn't expect that we had the same idea."
Yeah, isn't this guy a little too meticulous? He's even more attentive than her.
She outwardly agreed, but inwardly she silently muttered to herself, subtly observing Xuan Yi's expression.
Xuan Yi: "..."
He could tell what she was thinking at a glance.
Xuan Yi closed his eyes and explained, "Shen Shu'an, you are not only a disciple of the Holy Bright Sect, but also the young master of my Dragon Clan."
"The battle against Jiao Rulian also represented the face of my dragon clan. If you lose..."
Xuan Yi frowned slightly, his thick eyebrows furrowing slightly, which, under the clear sunlight, gave him a unique charm.
Shen Shu'an admired him for two seconds before smiling and asking, "Xuan Yi, what level of Foundation Establishment do you think I am?"
Xuan Yi's train of thought was interrupted. He was taken aback and carefully examined Shen Shu'an's body.
He wouldn't scan her with his divine sense unless absolutely necessary; she didn't like it.
"Foundation Building...six levels?"
Xuan Yi was surprised when he said those words.
Shen Shu'an stood up, stepping onto her sword, her figure towering above the world, her gaze fixed on the sea of clouds ahead.
"Sigh, I told you before, I'm under a lot of pressure!"
As the girl finished speaking, she quietly released her aura, revealing herself to be a true Foundation Establishment Level 6 cultivator!
Shen Shu'an closed his eyes slightly, shook his head and sighed, "The major sects are truly full of hidden talents. If I don't work hard, how can I, Shen Shu'an, possibly reach the top among so many geniuses?"
Xuan Yi: "..."
Shouldn't it be just a foot's width of space?
How did you reach the top?
But this is who she truly is.
Xuan Yi lowered his brows and looked at Shen Shu'an's profile as she faced the wind. Since she was prepared, he shouldn't say anything more.
With his thoughts settled, Xuan Yi focused on controlling the magic sword beneath his feet, and his sword speed suddenly increased significantly.
With the wind whistling and her clothes fluttering, Shen Shu'an looked at the vast sky before her, where cranes spread their wings, and a sense of carefree spirit arose in her heart.
Sigh, I hate playing dumb to fool others more than anything in my life.
However, when necessary, extraordinary measures must be taken!
She stood with her hands behind her back, her long hair flowing in the wind, her crystal blue eyes filled with countless emotions.
Xuan Yi: This is starting again.
Xuan Yi remained silent, habitually turning his eyes away and looking only at the location of Ming Yan's cave below.
[Ding, 100 points of Xuan Yi's faint smile emotion value have been collected.]
Shen Shu'an: "?"
Shen Shuan turned to look at Xuan Yi's calm and expressionless face, and shook her head inwardly: Sigh, Xuan Yi is still too reserved in his emotions!
A few breaths later, Xuan Yi said, "We've arrived," and the flying sword suddenly tilted.
Shen Shuan quickly squatted down, focusing her energy in her dantian to stabilize her body.
"No, Xuan Yi, can't you be a little more steady?"
"Shen Shu'an, didn't you say that efficiency is important in everything?"
The strong wind made it hard for Shen Shu'an to open her eyes. She touched her face in confusion, asking, "Huh? Did I say that?"
Xuan Yi followed behind, his black hair flying in the wind, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
Why haven't you said that before?
Every day, Wu Bo's reports and documents had to pass through his eyes, so he memorized them even if he didn't want to.
……
Mingyan Cave Mansion.
"No, Grandmaster, how did you get so badly injured! Who did this? An'er wants to remember him!"
Shen Shu'an was shocked and furious when she saw Ming Yan limping and missing half of his beard and eyebrows!
She quickly stepped forward, helped Mingyan to the table, took out her notebook and pen, and waited seriously for Mingyan's answer.
Seeing Shen Shuan's solemn expression, Ming Yan felt a warmth in his heart, a lump in his throat, and his eyes became slightly misty.
It was worth it! With your concern, even if my master were to risk his old life, it would be worth it!
Mingyan was moved, his eyes welling up with tears.
Shen Shu'an: "?"
"What's wrong, Grandmaster? Tell me! An'er is dying of anxiety!"
Ming Yan pursed his lips, his old face flushing slightly: "Ahem, well, An'er, there are a lot of people."
Shen Shu'an: "?"
Shen Shu'an was even angrier and shouted, "What?! It's a gang fight?! How can there be such shameless people in the world?"
"Grandmaster, rest assured, just tell me everything. An'er will remember it all and will definitely avenge this in the future!"
"If I fail to avenge you in the future, the descendants of my sect will suffer endless misfortune!"
Shen Shu'an gritted her teeth as she spoke, her face flushing, and her eyes gleaming with a terrifyingly determined light.
Mingyan: "QAQ"
[Ding, Host, you have collected 500 points of Ming Yan's emotions of being moved, wronged, and joyful!]
Xuan Yi: "o_o?"
[...Xuan Yi's doubt level is 50 points.]
However, the four peak masters who happened to be carrying gifts as they stepped into Mingyan's cave were as follows: "??????"
"What, fellow Daoist, are you referring to your sister as well?"
Qian Hengduo turned around in surprise and met Qiao Pingsheng's hesitant gaze.
