The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 233 Cooperation benefits both sides
The mountains and forests are dense, and balls of sunlight shine through the gaps, reflecting on the dancing butterflies.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning carefully peeked forward, just wanting to see who the "witch woman" that Yue Fengshu mentioned was.

"Did he have a falling out with Qu Chengjia?" Pei Ning asked.

There were eight people in total on this trip, five of them were Golden Elixir cultivators and three were foundation-building cultivators, and there were only two female cultivators, Pei Ning and Qu Chengjia.

"That shouldn't be the case." Lin Bai rejected it. "Even if there was a dispute, they would have sat down and talked it out. If they couldn't reach an agreement, they wouldn't necessarily call her a 'witch'." At this point, Lin Bai smiled and added, "At Qu Chengjia's age, how can she be called a 'witch'?"

"That's right. Only the shameless woman in the Jiang family can be called a witch!" Pei Ning glanced at Lin Bai.

"..." Lin Bai said nothing.

The two waited quietly for a while, but saw no movement in the dense forest ahead. A flock of birds circled above the treetops, which meant that no one had left yet.

"You haven't entered the dream?" Pei Ning asked in a low voice as he was bored of waiting.

"No." Lin Bai naturally denied it. He couldn't say that he had made you angry and had a fight with you in his dream, right?

He shook his head slightly and clenched the stone tablet in his hand to indicate that he was not dreaming.

"You still want to piss me off to death in the dream!" Pei Ning was still angry. She glared at Lin Bai and said, "That dream was so real, as if I had experienced it!" Pei Ning sighed and continued, "I have seen many changes in life. Miaomiao has become our adopted daughter. The details seem to have happened before. As long as I think about it, I will never forget them."

"Oh?" Lin Bai was surprised.

"I have become an octogenarian," Pei Ning said in a low voice, holding the sword, "all I think about are my children and grandchildren. My state of mind is just like that of an ordinary old woman!"

"So what do you think?" Lin Bai asked.

"The dead tree cicada can cut away the years, but it cannot cut away all the experiences from youth to old age." Pei Ning shook her head slightly. She looked at the sword in her hand and said, "From youth to old age, I have lost a lot of spirit."

Hearing this, Lin Bai stared at Pei Ning's eyes for a while and said, "I remember Xiuxiu told me," Lin Bai held her hand and continued, "At that time, Xiuxiu asked you what you would do if one day you were old and had no one to rely on, so old that you couldn't move and needed someone to help you walk. Do you remember how you answered?"

Pei Ning hesitated for a while before saying, "Of course I remember." She smiled and said with determination, "I say, if I need someone to help me walk when I'm old, what's the point of living? If that happens, I will never be alive."

"You and I should be like mountains, unmovable for ten thousand years. If you want to stay ahead of others for a long time, you must have the ambition to chase the stars and the moon, and be determined and unwavering!" Lin Bai held Pei Ning's hand tightly and said, "If you are not here with me, I will have no fun alone."

"I wonder how many people you've said this to?" Pei Ning smiled, his face slightly red, and whispered, "I'll remember it."

The two chatted for a while and then continued to wait.

After a while, two people walked out of the woods ahead.

One of them was an old acquaintance who had shared hardships with him in the past, so he asked for medicine.

But He Wenyao's clothes were tattered, his face was pale, and his eyes were dull.

The other person was not standing side by side with He Wenyao, but was riding on He Wenyao's neck.

The man was dressed in black, with a slender figure vaguely visible. His face was covered by white hair, and he would chuckle from time to time, like a madman.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other, and saw that man glanced over here, then grabbed He Wenyao's hair and shouted, "Gee!" as if he was driving a horse.

"Enemies often meet again." Pei Ning muttered.

This evil woman is none other than Lu Qingyin!
Lin Bai had a night talk with Li Xinghe earlier and learned that he had trapped Lu Qingyin somewhere, and Li Xinghe then hinted at this place.

It seems that Lu Qingyin was indeed in such a state, but somehow, she managed to escape from the predicament.

Judging from the looks of He Wenyao and Lu Qingyin, it was obvious that he had He Wenyao under control again.

Sure enough, Yue Fengshu followed out and stood on the branch of a giant tree with deep eyes.

Lin Bai saw clearly that Yue Fengshu and Lu Qingyin were enemies, not friends. He thought that since Lu Qingyin was good friends with Qin Fengyu, then Lu Qingyin should have had some dealings with Qin Rensong, and then got to know Yue Fengshu, but he didn't expect that he was also an enemy.

"Master Yue, your disciple seems to love me so much that he wants to carry me on his back!" Lu Qingyin rode on He Wenyao's neck, her white hair fluttering, revealing her young face. Her voice was charming, like a girl next door. "Oh, I'm just a loser, I don't know if I'm worthy of being taught by Master Yue."

As she spoke, she gently stroked the top of He Wenyao's head, then reached down and grabbed He Wenyao's chin, and pulled it up violently. He Wenyao raised his head blankly. Lu Qingyin then bent down and asked, the two looked into each other's eyes, "Senior Brother He, am I worthy of you?"

The forest was deep and dark, with gusts of wild wind. It was really strange to see a white-haired woman riding on a young man's neck and asking such questions.

"I...I am worthy of you." He Wenyao was trembling and could hardly stand. He said tremblingly, "I am not worthy of you, the fairy."

"That's good to know!" Lu Qingyin was extremely satisfied. She sat up straight, loosened her grip on He Wenyao's chin, looked up at Yue Fengshu on the tree branch, and said with a smile, "Master Yue, I feel very lonely here. If it weren't for your disciple's rescue, I wouldn't be able to smell the fragrance of this forest."

"What do you think?" Yue Fengshu asked with a frown.

"I just want to borrow your disciple to relieve my loneliness." Lu Qingyin said with a smile.

After saying this, He Wenyao shivered even more violently.

"If you let him go, I will spare your life." Yue Fengshu put forward the condition.

"Hahaha!" Lu Qingyin seemed to have heard a joke. She shook with laughter on He Wenyao's neck and asked crazily, "Do you think you are worthy?"

"What a witch!" Yue Fengshu couldn't help it and shouted angrily: "Witch, I will make sure you die without a burial place!" As he said this, he took out a magic weapon, which was a piece of green bamboo.

"Are you willing to give him up?" Lu Qingyin raised her head, her white hair parted, and she smiled very happily. She grabbed He Wenyao's hair and pulled it up again, saying with a smile, "His life is back to the immortal grass. If he is good, he can save people with his life. If he is bad, he can be used as a furnace to nourish people. I can't bear to give him up."

This statement clearly meant to keep it alive and swallow it up when needed! As for the matter of the furnace and cauldron, the people of Jiuyin Mountain could indeed do it.

Yue Fengshu had a gloomy face and remained silent.

Lin Bai saw clearly from the side that Yue Fengshu's beloved disciple was in the hands of others, but he was afraid to act rashly and was caught.

Logically speaking, as the head of a sect, regulating the yin and yang of Qiaoshan, even if he is not a tyrant, he should have the heart to make decisions. At such a critical moment, he should either ignore He Wenyao's life or death and directly capture Lu Qingyin, or just leave and find another way.

Thinking about the past, when he was sleeping in Longshan Mountain, Yue Fengshu did seem to be unable to handle the situation. He was not broad-minded enough and was a bit protective of his children.

Of the three disciples in the past, only one is left, so he must be cared for and loved more.

Lin Bai, as a bystander, felt that Lu Qingyin had no intention of harming anyone and had other intentions.

Sure enough, Yue Fengshu refrained from making a move and just said, "What do you want? Let's draw up a rule!"

"Gee!" Lu Qingyin did not answer, as if urging the horse to move forward.

"Stop!" After walking a few steps, Lu Qingyin called for a stop again, looked ahead, and said, "Brother Zhuanlun, since you are here, why don't you show up and have a chat?"

Lin Bai had no intention of hiding, so he came out when he heard the words, but Pei Ning was still hiding in the dark.

"Fairy Lu, you are still as charming as ever after not seeing you for so long! I am so happy to see you again." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"The quilt is cold and lonely, and it makes people old. How can it compare to Brother Zhuanlun lying on the fragrant bed, hugged by me on both sides?" The wild wind blew, the white hair scattered, and the girl's face of Lu Qingyin was revealed.

She was very pale, with a smile on her lips, bright eyes, and a bit of madness.

"Deer Fairy is clearly sitting high up, looking very proud and happy, but why does she speak like a resentful woman in the boudoir?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"If I could sit on your head, I wouldn't be a complaining woman anymore." Lu Qingyin said.

"I couldn't ask for more." Lin Bai smiled, then looked at Yue Fengshu in the distance and said loudly, "Master Yue, are you all right?"

Yue Fengshu ignored it.

Lin Bai was not angry either. He just looked at He Wenyao under Lu Qingyin's crotch and said, "Brother Yao, how are you?"

"..." He Wenyao didn't say anything, but just glared at Lin Bai with extreme resentment.

After finishing his nonsense, Lin Bai said no more and just thought carefully about the current situation.

This time, there are only Pei Ning and I on our side, so we can easily defeat Lu Qingyin. However, if we face Yue Fengshu, I am afraid there will be twists and turns.

If we talk about the trump card, it is only that the old lady's dog leash can save the seriously injured, but people cannot go there in person.

There is also a broken boat left by Lu Haike, which can block the attack of Jindan. It can be used many times, but it consumes a lot of energy, so it can only be used two or three times at most. There are also several escape talismans and chains made of fox hair for escape.

Lin Bai thought carefully and decided that the best strategy was to leave immediately and let Lu Qingyin and Yue Fengshu fight each other. With Lu Qingyin's ability, after two or three years of hard training, she might be able to fight Yue Fengshu to a draw, and then she might be able to take advantage of the situation.

The stone tablet in his hand was getting warmer and warmer, and the place it pointed to was not far ahead. If the city gate caught fire, it might affect other places.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of wind coming from afar.

A dark light flashed through the forest, and then a person landed on a branch not far from the Yue Feng tree.

This man was wearing a black robe with a red dot between his eyebrows. It was Qu Chengjia.

To make matters worse, Yue Fengshu alone is enough to give you a headache, and now Qu Chengjia comes along!

Lin Bai immediately took two steps back, grabbed Pei Ning's hand, and was ready to run away at any time.

"Senior Brother Yue." Qu Chengjia held the whisk in his arms and nodded slightly in greeting.

"Junior sister, you've come just in time!" Yue Fengshu laughed loudly, clearly very happy.

Qu Chengjia glanced at Lin Pei in the distance, then turned his gaze to Lu Qingyin.

"People say that there is a person of extraordinary talent in Jiuyin Mountain. He was harmed by the dead tree cicada and was repeatedly forced to use forbidden techniques. Although he has the face of a girl, his hair is as white as snow. I think it must be you." Qu Chengjia said lightly.

"I don't deserve it." Lu Qingyin responded, and said with a smile: "Are you praising me like this to make me laugh so hard that I can't get up?"

A turtle cannot get up even when it is lying on all fours. Lu Qingyin is using the nickname given by the fox to mock Qu Chengjia.

Sure enough, Qu Chengjia's expression became much uglier.

"She can only show off her eloquence." Yue Fengshu smiled and said, then looked at Lin Bai and said, "Come to think of it, the person who caused her white hair is also here. Junior Sister Qu should recognize him."

"How dare I not recognize the descendant of the Wood Demon?" Qu Chengjia said.

"I am horrified that a man from the mountains and countryside could cause these two masters to worry about me!" Since they had fallen out, Lin Bai had no intention of mending the relationship, so he spoke freely.

After saying this, Lin Bai looked at Lu Qingyin again and said with a smile: "Fairy Lu, the two masters from Qiaoshan Sect and Yunxia Sect don't seem to like you very much."

"Haha," Lu Qingyin grabbed He Wenyao's hair and said with a disdainful smile, "What can a turtle shell and a crooked tree do to me?"

She spoke lightly, as if she didn't take Yue Fengshu and Qu Chengjia seriously at all.

Qu Chengjia's face became even uglier when she heard this. She had always enjoyed a good reputation among the three sects, but was later forced to be nicknamed "Little Turtle" by the fox. Although she felt resentful, she could not do anything to Yuanying.

Now seeing that Lu Qingyin was so bold, he was furious, but it was difficult for him to take action because she was holding Yue Fengshu's beloved disciple hostage.

Yue Fengshu also had an unhappy look on his face, and he looked at Lu Qingyin with narrowed eyes.

"Fairy Lu is so heroic and graceful. I am convinced." As he spoke, Lin Bai bowed, "I am honored to see the fairy's magical skills."

Since he had nothing to do, Lin Bai decided to start a fire.

"Lu Qingyin," Yue Fengshu said, "I'll give you one last chance. I'll put the medicine in and let you go."

Lu Qingyin grabbed He Wenyao's hair and pulled it up hard, and He Wenyao immediately fell face up to the sky.

"Your master only has you as his disciple, and he really cherishes you very much." Lu Qingyin said something sarcastic, then looked up at Yue Fengshu, with a bit of madness in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Master Yue, I have always been kind and have never harmed others."

She patted He Wenyao's forehead and said, "I was trapped in a dangerous place and was saved by your disciple. I only wanted to repay you, so how could I harm you?"

Yue Fengshu ignored it.

Lu Qingyin continued, "There is a treasure ahead, and it is difficult for me to open it alone, so I came out to find help."

She looked at Yue Fengshu and Qu Chengjia happily, "Since you two are here, you should work together to help me get the treasure!"

Yue Fengshu looked at He and asked about medicine.

"It's true." He Wenyao replied tremblingly.

"Where is the treasure?" Yue Fengshu asked.

"Ten miles to the south." Lu Qingyin grabbed He Wenyao's hair and knocked to the south. "Master Yue, why don't you go and take a look yourself? If you are deceiving me, I will cut off my path and leave me without a burial place!"

She did not hide it and even intended to let Yue Fengshu verify it. It was obvious that she was sure that Yue Fengshu could not get it alone, even with the help of Qu Chengjia.

Yue Fengshu pondered in silence. After a moment, he nodded slightly to Qu Chengjia, as if conveying a message, and then disappeared into the woods.

Qu Chengjia held a whisk in his arms, sat cross-legged on a tree branch, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Lu Qingyin looked at Lin Bai again and said with a smile, "Brother Zhuanlun, do you want to come with us?"

Lin Bai said nothing and closed his eyes to rest.

When I came to the stone plate, everything was the same as before. Good and bad were mixed in my heart.

The ominous omen was vague and no one knew where it came from. However, the auspicious omen was in the south, just as the direction indicated by the stone tablet.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Pei Ning's concerned look.

Looking at Lu Qingyin again, she looked like she had a lot of ideas, and was pulling He Wenyao's hair, as if she was looking for fleas, just like Miaomiao looking for fleas on the fox. But at that time the fox looked disgusted, but now He Wenyao was trembling with fear.

Everyone waited here quietly. After two hours, they heard a long and hearty howl, coming from far away and approaching, and in the blink of an eye it appeared in front of them.

It was Yue Fengshu.

"I have obtained all the treasures!" Yue Fengshu said complacently.

"Your master is worthy of being the head of the sect. He is really thick-skinned."

Lu Qingyin patted He Wenyao's face, then looked at Yue Fengshu and said with a smile: "Master Yue, although I am only at the foundation building stage, your vision may not be higher than mine. If I say you can't get it, then you can't get it."

Yue Fengshu put his hands behind his back and actually smiled, "Lu Qingyin, what is your relationship with Yin Wuqing?"

Lu Qingyin did not answer, but asked: "I have been here for nearly three years, and I have found a way to get the treasure. Do you want to go with me?"

Yue Fengshu looked at Qu Chengjia, and the two seemed to be communicating with each other. After a few breaths, Yue Fengshu nodded.

"Do we need to legislate in three chapters?" Yue Fengshu imitated Jiang Xingchi's story.

"Three chapters of legislation?" Lu Qingyin shook her head. "You are not a gentleman. It is useless to legislate a hundred chapters."

She turned sideways, looked at Lin Bai, and said, "Lin Zhuanlun, the other party has two golden elixirs, and I only have one person and one horse. If I join forces with the two of them, it would undoubtedly be courting death. Are you willing to make peace with me?"

"Fairy Lu, we should work together!" Pei Ning suddenly corrected.

"I am willing to make peace!" Lu Qingyin said loudly, and then said: "Lin Zhuanlun, you entered the game as a foundation-building person, so you must have something you care about very much. The other party is strong, and I am weak. If you and I work together, we will both benefit, but if we separate, we will both suffer."

"I am willing to follow the fairy." Lin Bai replied loudly.

"..." Lu Qingyin didn't expect Lin Bai to agree so readily. She frowned and said, "If you had joined forces with me last time, how could this day have come? At that time, you said that a real man should act based on right and wrong, without worrying about the future. Why did you change your face so quickly today?" She clearly meant to mock him.

"The way to deal with things is also the art of adapting to changes. A real man should judge the situation and not be biased." Lin Bai did not blush at all.

"You've got all the good and bad things to say about me." Lu Qingyin smiled and said, "I feel a lot more at ease being with a shameless person like you."

She spoke softly, stroking He Wenyao's head, and continued, "The other party has two golden elixirs, but you are not afraid at all. I know what you are capable of, but I guess you got the confidence because you stole some fox hair and disturbed Gu Qingshui's pond, right?"

"Fairy Lu, be careful with your words." Lin Bai said sternly, "Ancestor Chenyu loves me, and Ancestor Gu pities me. I work for the two ancestors, so naturally I have their protection. If you speak rudely again, don't blame me for turning hostile!"

"There's no outsider here, so stop pretending!" Lu Qingyin sneered, "Go!" She patted He Wen's medicine head and gestured to go forward.
