Chapter 90.
I don't know if it was fate or god who heard Wang Pingzhi's prayer. After entering the secret realm, he was teleported to the same place as Pei Qingjun. Of course, there were other people from the Spirit Sword Sect, but these people could not attract Wang Pingzhi's attention. His gaze following Pei Qingjun.
When a person is moved, no matter how beautiful and fragrant the flowers are, you will only love that one.
This is what Wang Pingzhi is thinking now. He has abandoned the Yingying Yanyan around him, and just wants to work hard to get Pei Qingjun's approval.
This time, Wang Pingzhi was not qualified for the secret realm. He was not outstanding enough for the Spirit Sword Sect to allocate a spot for him, so Wang Pingzhi had been going to the Spirit Sword Sect these days, hoping to use his connections to claim the spot for secret realm for himself. For the quota, Zheng Peilan later helped him, so that Wang Pingzhi could successfully participate in the secret realm experience.
At this time, Pei Qingjun was sitting on the spiritual sword meditating, deliberately avoiding the actions of others who wanted to come over to reminisce about the past. Her back was slender, and her green clothes hung below the sword. She was elegant and agile. Her indifference and reticence made some people feel like she was arrogant. Ao's disciples were not very happy, thinking that Pei Qingjun was pretending to be noble.
But they obviously forgot about the battle not long ago, but Pei Qingjun stood in the front, one against a hundred. At that time, they felt that Pei Qingjun was strong and safe, so they thought of getting closer to Pei Qingjun, but they didn't expect that she refused from a housands of miles away, she put away their spiritual sword, held a sword flower in her arms, and went to sit quietly on the other side. Therefore, they were unhappy in their hearts and put their hot faces on someone's cold ass. It was strange that they could look good.
Pei Qingjun didn't care. She didn't come to the secret realm to make friends. She had important things to do, and Xiyin Grass was the top priority. Otherwise, why would she enter this secret realm?
"Pingzhi, has this fellow taoist Pei always been like this?" Zheng Peilan is pretty and charming, and she follows Wang Pingzhi stickyly. Her eyes are shy and she is secretly happy. Could it be that she and Pingzhi are destined to be married? She was so happy to be able to meet Pingzhi in such a vast secret realm.
Wang Pingzhi stared at Pei Qingjun. He acted coldly and indifferently to Zheng Peilan's questions. He was completely different from the gentle and easy going manner he used to treat the female cultivator. He didn't want Pei Qingjun to think that he was a passionate prodigal, so his tone was serious, just because Zheng Peilan is still useful to him, he reluctantly explained, "Senior sister is tired. The skin and bones of the monsters you took away are not rare. Why should the sent people bother senior sister?"
Zheng Peilan smiled coquettishly, "I haven't taken any of the skin and bones of that monster beast. Why are you getting angry at me?"
Wang Pingzhi pursed his lips, caught a glimpse of her sad expression from the corner of his eye, and said impatiently: "Fellow daoist Zheng, why don't you follow those fellow disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect?"
Zheng Peilan shook her sleeves and muttered in a low voice: "I am a direct disciple of the inner sect, and I am not from the same family as them."
Wang Pingzhi became increasingly unhappy and said coldly: "Is it because their qualifications are not as good as yours?"
"Not really, because I'm not familiar with them, but I'm a cultivator with dual spiritual roots. Dad said I'm very talented and I'm about to form an elixir." She was complacent, but she didn't know that her casual remark had offended Wang Pingzhi at the top of his heart.
He smiled disdainfully and said mockingly: "No matter how talented you are, are you as good as my senior sister? With her cultivation in the late stage of Jindan at such a young age, are you just trying to master the class?"
Zheng Peilan's eyes were really red this time. She couldn't help but push Wang Pingzhi and cursed angrily: "Your senior sister is good, then you go find her. I have to run all the time for you. I might as well give my quota to someone else that I gave to you!"
"You..." Wang Pingzhi staggered when she pushed him, and he was about to curse back.
He didn't beg Zheng Peilan. Didn't she give up the spot willingly? What does it have to do with him.
The two of them were chattering and arguing, which made Pei Qingjun confused.
Pei Qingjun opened her eyes, stood up and walked over with her sword. Her face was as beautiful as a hibiscus, but with the spirit sword in hand, Pei Qingjun had a strong aura. The first thing people noticed was not her stunning appearance, but her unique temperament is upright and not easily broken, and she has a sense of security.
She said: "Junior brother Wang, apologize to fellow daoist Zheng."
"What?" Wang Pingzhi asked in shock. Even Zheng Peilan looked at Pei Qingjun. Her words were so unexpected.
Pei Qingjun held the sword and said casually: "Apologise."
"Senior sister, I can apologize, but you have to tell me why, right?"
Pei Qingjun smiled and said sarcastically: "I just imitated your attitude just now. Didn't you just laugh at daoist Zheng in such a condescending way? Since you can do it, then I should be able to do the same. But I didn't laugh at you is just to scold you from above."
Wang Pingzhi stared at Pei Qingjun with disappointment, his enthusiasm seemed to be poured out by cold water, because instead of receiving praise from Pei Qingjun, he actually learned from Pei Qingjun, which made him so unhappy.
"But...but I am praising senior sister, why do you have to turn your elbows outward?"
Pei Qingjun chuckled, shook her head and said with a smile: "Junior brother Wang, I don't need your praise."
Her laughter stung Wang Pingzhi's heart. It was clear that Pei Qingjun's words were not excessive, but Wang Pingzhi felt that he had been severely humiliated. He even felt that he had misjudged the person. Pei Qingjun and Zheng Peilan were the same. They both looked down on his useless qualifications.
Wang Pingzhi had a sullen face, panted hard, stared deeply at Pei Qingjun, turned around and left.
Pei Qingjun raised her eyebrows. Junior brother Wang seemed to be getting more and more outrageous.
Although she did not ask why the conflict between Tang Li and Wang Pingzhi occurred, Pei Qingjun had a very complicated impression of Wang Pingzhi. This fellow disciple was not interested in practicing taoism. Instead, he focused on making friends and enjoying the high end games in groups talking and laughing. Pei Qingjun later discovered that Wang Pingzhi had impure intentions when making friends, but she didn't stop Wang Pingzhi by talking too much. After all, it had nothing to do with her.
Now it seems that he is no longer the young man who cried excitedly when he joined the Tianxuan Sect.
"Aren't you angry?" Zheng Peilan carefully tested Pei Qingjun. Perhaps because Pei Qingjun helped her, Zheng Peilan suddenly felt that this woman was quite pleasing to the eye.
Pei Qingjun said lightly: "Angry? There's no need."
She acted very calmly, allowing Zheng Peilan to read from her expression that Wang Pingzhi was an unimportant person, so she was so calm.
Zheng Peilan raised her eyebrows and said in confusion: "I thought you had a good relationship, so Pingzhi was worried about your safety and chased you to the secret realm."
After hearing these words, Pei Qingjun's eyes showed surprise, and she immediately smiled, "Zheng Daoyou, I am already in the late stage of Jindan. If junior brother Wang is worried about me, then he should stay in Tianxuan Sect instead of coming to the secret realm and become a drag on me."
So do I need a junior brother who has just completed his foundation establishment period to worry about me?
Zheng Peilan blinked and said in a daze: "It seems... you are right."
In the past, Wang Pingzhi always mentioned in Zheng Peilan's ears that he had a close relationship with Pei Qingjun and others, portraying himself as gentle and considerate, and also made Zheng Peilan mistakenly think that he was the favorite of the Tianxuan Sect. He could not enter the secret realm, fearing that Pei Qingjun would be in danger, he had no choice but to seek help from Zheng Peilan.
At that time, Zheng Peilan believed his words and felt that she would be too heartless if she rejected Wang Pingzhi. Besides, Pei Qingjun's cultivation was so unpredictable that she would be able to protect him even if he entered the secret realm. She hesitated for a few days before helping Wang Pingzhi.
But after listening to Pei Qingjun's words, she found that it was completely different from what Wang Pingzhi said.
Pei Qingjun's attitude towards him didn't seem to be close to him at all!
"..Fellow daoist Pei, can I ask if you saved Pingzhi in the secret realm?"
Pei Qingjun shook her head, "No, I only saved my junior sister."
"Then do you often give him spiritual stones or elixirs in private?"
Pei Qingjun laughed, "The inner disciples of Tianxuan Sect are never short of elixirs and spiritual stones, so I don't need to give them to him."
Zheng Peilan looked very ugly. She still doesn't understand what happened now. Everything Wang Pingzhi said is false! He is simply a mean spirited, hypocritical villain who tells lies.
She woke up and said to Pei Qingjun with a sneer: "Then I have to remind you, be careful about Wang Pingzhi, he is a bad person. By the way, there is also Tangli from your Tianxuan Sect. This is her name, right? She is a mortal, so you should also tell her to pay attention to Wang Pingzhi, he often speaks ill of Tangli in front of me."
Zheng Peilan lowered her voice and said, "Wang Pingzhi has evil intentions towards you."
There was a coldness in Pei Qingjun's brows, and she also restrained the curve of her lips, because Zheng Peilan's words were all provoking her bottom line.
Pei Qingjun raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when suddenly her eyes turned to the sky. Zheng Peilan was so frightened that she immediately drew her sword, thinking that there was another monster.
Tang Li landed lightly, put the spirit sword she had just stepped on behind her back, put her hands in her sleeves and said with a smile: "Fellow daoist Pei, senior sister Zheng."
"Who are you?" Zheng Peilan looked at the clothes up and down. It was true that she was from the same school, but she didn't know this person.
Tangli nodded, "Senior sister Zheng, this is me, Yan Minghui, the fourth disciple of the third elder."
Zheng Peilan suddenly realized and said: "It's you. I haven't seen you for a long time. You came back specifically for the secret realm this time? I remember that you seemed to have accepted the mission of the sect and went to the mortal world to hunt monsters. It feels like we haven't seen each other for four or five years."
"Yes, I saw some movement here. I didn't expect to meet you, senior sister Zheng."
"It's really a coincidence." Zheng Peilan and Tang Li were not familiar with each other. They exchanged a few words and then went to another place to adjust their breath. She didn't have much leisure time to reminisce about the old relationship at this time. Wang Pingzhi's deception made Zheng Peilan feel tired, shuffling and leaning against the tree, closing her eyes and resting.
Pei Qingjun nodded towards Tang Li and passed by her, but Pei Qingjun smelled a faint fragrance. This smell was familiar to her. In an instant, Pei Qingjun's eyes became deep and he glanced at Tang Li's face. She didn't find any clues about her neck, so she pursed her lips.
Just when she was thinking about this scent, Pei Qingjun had a flash of inspiration and thought of something. It was precisely because of this that Pei Qingjun confirmed her suspicion.
Pei Qingjun's eyes flashed unkindly, and she stared at Tangli's neck, as if she wanted to draw her sword and chop off her head at the next moment.
Such gaze made Tangli's smile freeze, and she didn't even dare to look back.
"She... why is she so fierce!"
[Maybe she found you? ]
"Impossible! My face changing pill is super powerful, how could she see through my disguise? And there is nothing wrong with what Zheng Peilan and I said. Yan Minghui did take over the sect's mission. I overheard it, It's been a long time since she has been in the Spirit Sword Sect, so I'll knock her out."
[Then why don't you go over and ask? ]
Tang Li was speechless and choked. It was not like she was impatient to live anymore. If she went to find Pei Qingjun now, wouldn't that mean she was going to die.
"Could it be that Yan Minghui once offended Pei Qingjun?"
[It's not impossible. ]
Tangli lowered her head and walked aside in small steps. She sat directly on the ground, still facing Pei Qingjun.
[Tangtang, to be honest, you are really a little timid right now. ]
Tang Li firmly refused to admit this. She said harshly: "I'm not a coward. I just effectively avoided the dispute with Pei Qingjun. Sooner or later, I will have a showdown, but that will only happen after leaving the secret realm. Now I must disguise myself well."
[I mean your behavior is cowardly! Fool. ]
Tangli shrank her shoulders and stared at her embroidered shoes.
She is an old tasker. Has she never acted in any character? It is just a "Yan Minghui". Even if she has a grudge with Pei Qingjun, she is not afraid. Anyway, she will not provoke Pei Qingjun. She will just protect Pei Qingjun and when she comes out of the secret realm, she will still be a cute little junior sister.
But Tang Li forgot one thing, that is, she would not provoke Pei Qingjun. This does not mean that the same is true for Pei Qingjun.
However, the two of them are currently getting along well, and Tang Li also gets along well with the Lingjian sect members, so it is impossible to tell that she is fake Yan Minghui.
After Tangli declined the monster skin and bones offered by the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, she was treated more warmly by others. Wang Pingzhi jumped down from the tree with a sullen face, looking like he would not let strangers in. The disciples of Lingjian Sect curled their lips in disdain.
"Sister Yan, do you know who that person is?"
Tangli shook her head.
A female disciple sneered, "He is the direct disciple of the five spiritual roots of Tianxuan Sect. Why do you think the true monarch of Nanhua is willing to accept him? The other disciples are all talented and intelligent, so Wang Pingzhi cannot ascend to the top disciple."
"Okay, please keep your voice down. Why are you so angry? You are not one of us."
The female disciple looked at Wang Pingzhi with disgust, and continued in a low voice: "He has been coming to our Lingjian Sect a lot recently, and I don't know how charming he is, causing several outer disciples to have a big fight. After I found out about this, I look down on Wang Pingzhi more and more, blaming him for attracting bees and butterflies. He doesn't look very handsome, he's not as good as Pei Qingjun."
Tang Li couldn't help but echoed, "That's true."
"Yes, yes, not only she is beautiful, but she is also strong in cultivation. It's a pity that she is not a man. Otherwise, I would definitely be attracted to her."
Tangli raised her eyes and glanced at the person. She stopped talking, smacked her lips and closed her mouth again.
Forget it, it's better to talk less. Just understand how good Pei Qingjun is in your own heart, so why bother talking to outsiders.
Because it was the first day to enter the secret realm, everyone was in high spirits, especially since Pei Qingjun had killed many monsters. They needed to divide the skin and bones of the monsters. These are excellent things. They can be sold as spiritual stones or transformed into forged materials.
While they were busy dividing the monster beasts, another wave of monster beasts arrived. This time, Zheng Peilan and others did not let Pei Qingjun take action, and teamed up with their sect to deal with this group of monster beasts.
After entering the secret realm, don't think about peace. There will always be many dangers waiting for them.
This night, someone lit a bonfire to keep vigil.
Tangli looked for a clean place and planned to spend the night.
As soon as she left, Wang Pingzhi moved and followed Tangli as if he had some intention.
There was suddenly a little tail behind her. It was impossible for Tangli not to notice it. She tilted her head and said, "Are you idle?"
Wang Pingzhi clasped his fists with a smile. The previous haze had dissipated. After a period of time, Wang Pingzhi had returned to his usual expression. He said elegantly: "Fellow taoist Yan, I heard that you often go to the mortal world, which reminds me of my parents, I have been in Tianxuan Sect for many years and have not been able to go home to visit them. I wonder if taoist friend Yan can do me a favor and bring something with you the next time you go to the mortal world. This is also a bit of filial piety on my part as a human being."
Tang Li tilted her head, with strange eyes, looking at Wang Pingzhi's appearance. He thought he was suave, but in Tang Li's eyes, he was just a man with vulgar behavior.
When he has something to entrust to others, he doesn't say it when there are many people, but he say it when it's just the two of them. It's not a shameful thing. Is it necessary to do this?
So it's vulgar.
"You have been a member of the Tianxuan Sect for so long and you haven't even gone down the mountain to visit your parents? What's the use of you being a son?"
Tang Li taunted Wang Pingzhi and pushed Wang Pingzhi's face under her feet. She has long been dissatisfied with this stallion hero. You are not the only panting man left in the world of immortality. Why do you go around flirting with women? Do you really think everyone can fall in love with you?
Wang Pingzhi felt that today was really unlucky. Everything was not going as he wanted. He had suffered losses from women several times. He lost his smile and looked at Tangli with eyes that were too white. This look had nothing to do with being charming. Tangli covered her lips and snickered, "No wonder you always love to smile. You're so ugly when you're not smiling."
"Asshole!"
Tangli raised a bright smile and said, "You actually scolded me."
While she was speaking, Tang Li had already begun to draw the sword gracefully and wiped the blade with her sleeve. In the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Wang Pingzhi and penetrated Wang Pingzhi's abdomen with the sword. The speed was so fast that Wang Pingzhi had no chance to react.
Tangli blinked her eyes and said innocently, "Oh, my hand slipped."
She gathered spiritual power from her fingertips to seal Wang Pingzhi's mouth so that he could not scream. At the same time, Tangli threw a dark rejuvenation pill into his mouth, "The mouth is dirty, this sword is a lesson for you, no one else dares to seduce me, I look down on someone like you."
When Tang Li pulled out the sword, she pushed hard and Wang Pingzhi fell to the ground.
Her clear eyes passed over Wang Pingzhi's face mercilessly, and her embroidered shoes stepped on his body with a calm expression, as if she was stabbing not the hero, but a touch of air.
[Hiss. ]
"Speak english."
[Tangtang, it's hard for me not to suspect that you are seeking revenge in public. ]
"I have indeed wanted to stab him for a long time."
[Then why don't you just kill him? Anyway, your character is ruined, so you might as well kill the hero. ]
Tang Li cleaned up the blood beads on the sword and said calmly: "Killing him will only cause trouble for Pei Qingjun, so let's keep his life for the time being."
[Wow, you are too biased. Let's have a moment of silence for the hero. ]
Tangli withdrew her spiritual sword, looked around, and sighed.
[What's the matter? ]
"I have entered someone else's realm."
This night was too lively, and there were always people coming to see her. It was Wang Pingzhi just now, who could it be now.
Just when Tangli was paying attention to who had set up this barrier, a person appeared silently behind her. The person's spiritual sword was placed across Tangli's neck and she said coldly: "Yan Minghui."
Tangli moved her neck, and blood marks appeared. She had a spiritual sword similar to Pei Qingjun, but she never thought that one day she would be held hostage by Pei Qingjun.
[Ah! It's Pei Qingjun! Let me just say, the person you knocked unconscious this time must have a deep grudge against her. ]
"Who are you?"
There was a deep coldness in Pei Qingjun's dark eyes, and she whispered: "It's a bit late to pretend not to know me now. When we first met, you looked at me first and then called Zheng Peilan's name. As a fellow disciple, you actually noticed me first. This is one of the doubts. The second reason that made me doubt you was the smell of Nian Nian. What was your intention? You let Nian Nian deceive me in the first place and said that the person with a blood contract was blind person, now that your eyes are clear, I don't mind helping you become a real blind person."
I originally thought that the person in the blood contract that Nian Nian was thinking about was kind-hearted, and I could often hear Nian Nian's spiritual voice praising her, otherwise I wouldn't have listened to Nian Nian's words and let her follow that person.
It seems that Nian Nian was bewitched by this person and concealed some information from her.
Pei Qingjun's words were filled with chills. She saw the blood marks on Tangli's neck, her eyebrows furrowed, and for some reason she thought about putting away the spirit sword. She mistakenly thought that the blood contract was causing trouble, and she couldn't help but vent her anger on Tangli.
Now that the sword has been put away, it is better to lock Tangli's throat with her hands and continue to threaten Tangli.
Tangli frowned and looked sad. It wasn't that her neck hurt, but Pei Qingjun's amazing sensitivity gave her a headache that made her want to go crazy.
[Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! ]
"You laugh so loudly..."
[Sorry, sorry. ]
Tangli calmed down her mood. She kept her smile unchanged and said, "Fellow daoist Pei, have you admitted the wrong person? I really am not the person you said."
It doesn't make sense. Why didn't you see me and smell me when I was a junior sister?
Why did you suspect me as soon as I became Yan Minghui?
Senior sister, let's not fall in love and kill each other, okay?
I'm really afraid that I will die if you exert any force!
