The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 253 Suffering a Loss
Lin Bai sat cross-legged on the bluestone, while Miaomiao and Jiang Yu knelt beside him to serve him.

I opened Gu Yao's letter first, but it didn't say anything important.

Gu Yao first asked whether he had forgotten the knowledge of formations, and then asked in detail about the matter with Qu Chengjia. Finally, he only told him to practice meditation outside and wait for the ancestor to return.

Lin Bai opened Sister Huanhuan's letter again.

Last time I asked Miaomiao to send over a gourd and a lot of monkey wine. Sister Huanhuan said in her letter that the gourd was to her liking, but it was not fun to drink alone.

The letter didn't say anything else, just saying that they hadn't seen each other for a long time and missed each other very much. He also mentioned that he had learned a magic skill and wanted to discuss it in depth.

"Sister Huanhuan, you are so nice."

Lin Bai couldn't help but think of Sister Huanhuan's crazy look again, and was fascinated for a moment.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu looked at each other, and neither of them dared to say anything.

After a while, seeing that her master didn't say anything and was just staring at Yang Huan's letter, Miaomiao curled her lips again and glanced at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu opened his eyes wide, as if in disbelief.

Miaomiao nodded slightly at Jiang Yu, indicating that your guess was correct.

"Ahem, Master." Miaomiao took out a wooden box and presented it with both hands, "This is the flying knife that Sister Yang Huan made for you."

"This is from Senior Sister Gu Yao." Jiang Yu also took out a wooden box and presented it.

In the previous battle with Yue Fengshu, many flying knives were damaged. Last time, Miaomiao asked Gu Yao to make some, but I didn't expect that this girl ate two of them.

Lin Bai accepted it with great satisfaction and praised his two apprentices.

"Your master's wife is out. She left a letter for you two before she left." Lin Bai also took out two letters.

Miaomiao and Jiangyu took it obediently.

"See what's written." Lin Bai said with a smile.

The two girls obediently opened it and went to look.

Lin Bai moved forward and wanted to take a look, but Miaomiao moved away and Jiang Yu also retreated.

It seems that Sister Pei didn't say anything nice, so she must have asked her two disciples to be responsible for surveillance!

Lin Bai sighed quietly and said something shameless like "filial piety is the most important virtue" and "it is not advisable to mention the names of respected people".

Both women agreed obediently.

"How is your ancestor Yang?" Lin Bai started talking about business.

"I'm still in seclusion. I think it will be soon." Miaomiao answered honestly.

"That's good." Since Lin Bai came to Xinyifang, if it weren't for Zhu, he would have had a hard time gaining a foothold. Zhu Jianyang was also very caring and really didn't treat Lin Bai as an outsider. They had a friendship of life and death.

Lin Bai was also very kind to the Zhu family, saving their lives and providing assistance many times. It could be said that he had already repaid the Zhu family for their kindness.

But human relationships are a tangled mess. He has a close relationship with Zhu Yushu and his wife, and he still has a past relationship with Zhu Jianyang. In addition, there is the thread of Zhu Yumao and his daughter. I am afraid that the entanglement will become even deeper in the future.

Therefore, Lin Bai sincerely hoped that Zhu Jianyang could form the elixir safely.

"How is your master?" Lin Bai asked Zhu Yushu again.

"He is practicing meditation. Nowadays, women are in charge of Fengming Mountain." Miaomiao straightened her back and made a lot of sense. "The Zhu family is a vassal of the Gu family, so naturally they learn everything from the Gu family."

The Gu family is headed by Gu Qingshui, and the Zhu family is headed by Tian Wanjun, and it is indeed a situation where there are more yin than yang.

"Sister Wanjun is pregnant. Master, you sleep so much, how come you are not..." Miaomiao kept muttering.

"Tian Wanjun has failed to establish a foundation, but your master's wife has the potential to achieve great success. How can they be the same?" Lin Bai glared at her.

"Give me a baby to play with..." Miaomiao's voice became softer and softer as she spoke.

After scolding his apprentice for a while, Lin Bai talked about his experience in cultivation and asked about their progress in cultivation after they had established their foundation.

There are checkpoints in the Qi Training Realm, and every small realm in the Foundation Building Realm is a checkpoint.

That’s not all. The state of mind is closely related to the skills and even the proposed alchemy theory.

Even a talent like Tie Huasheng is limited by the theory of alchemy. Naturally, Lin Bai wants to share more of his experience, hoping that his two disciples can be more successful and take fewer detours.

As they were talking, Jiang Xiaobai came out of the cave.

She had changed into a black robe, but it was not as loose as before, but fit her figure quite well.

But she is indeed a little petite, which makes her appearance even bigger.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu looked at each other, and neither of them said anything.

The four of them sat down and talked about their experience in alchemy. After talking for a long time, Miaomiao pestered Lin Bai to tell her stories about the secret realm. Lin Bai briefly told her about the wordless secret realm and the Wuxiang Tomb, hoping that she would be more careful and protect her junior sister.

After chatting until late at night, Lin Jiang and the others returned to the cave.

Half a month later, Lin Bai wrote a letter and asked Jiang Xiaobai to pass it to Gu Yao. As for Miaomiao and Jiang Yu, they stayed.

The two agreed that after half a year, Jiang Xiaobai would come back to pick up the two girls.

After seeing Jiang girl off, Lin Bai took his two disciples and headed deep into Mianlong Mountain.

After passing through the valley, we came to the peach forest and entered a deep pool.

The light flashed, and after the two women steadied their feet, they realized they were in a pavilion surrounded by trees.

The mountains and rivers are picturesque, with butterflies dancing, birds flying, and springs gurgling in the distance, which is quite natural.

A huge tiger was lying under the pavilion, seemingly taking a nap.

Next to the crouching tiger stood a woman wearing a plain white robe and her hair tied up with a wooden hairpin.

She was of medium height, standing gracefully under the tree. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a gentle face and a smile.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu reported this and knew that this must be the person destined for Fairy Chenyu. He was from the same place as his master and mistress, and was truly a person favored by heaven.

"Master's wife." Miaomiao and Jiang Yu immediately saluted.

Xiuxiu happily stepped forward and helped the two girls up. The giant tiger opened one eye and looked at them, then closed it again.

Fairy Chen Yu's order was not to let Lin Bai get close to Xiu Xiu, and the tiger was also understanding, so naturally he didn't make any noise.

"You are Miaomiao, you are Xiaoyuer, right?" Xiuxiu held Miaomiao in one hand and Jiangyu in the other, and she really had the demeanor of a master's wife.

The two girls responded obediently.

"What took you so long?" Xiuxiu asked again with concern. "Xiao Yu'er has just established his foundation and his realm is not stable. He was delayed for a few days on the way." Miaomiao answered obediently.

"Did you encounter any danger?" Xiuxiu asked again.

"Not really." Miaomiao answered immediately, "Master gave me a map, and the journey is very safe."

"You two sisters are so young, are your family members worried? Don't you have anyone to escort you?" Xiuxiu asked again.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu looked at each other and thought, you are not much older than us.

"My master taught us to be self-reliant and not to rely on our elders for everything, and certainly not on our family or sect." Miaomiao looked serious and did not say whether there was anyone escorting her.

"Senior sister is right." Jiang Yu said.

Xiuxiu was very satisfied, "Good boy."

Seeing that Miaomiao had coaxed Xiuxiu, Lin Bai did not interfere.

Xiuxiu took out the gifts, gave them to the two girls, and started chatting with them again.

He first talked about Qu Ruyi and Cheng Shuang for a long time, and then talked about the business of Xinyifang.

Xiuxiu had only been to Xinyifang once, and had long ago pestered Lin Bai to tell her about it, but he still kept asking Xiuxiu and Jiang Yu about it.

Women will inevitably quarrel endlessly when they are over thirty. Although Miaomiao and Jiang Yuzun Xiuxiu are the junior master's wives, there is not much age difference between them. They are both from sects and families, so they can get along well and the chat is endless.

Perhaps because there were too few people here, Xiuxiu was in a very good mood. She took the two girls to Taolin Paradise again, and climbed onto Yuantan Island, where they started whispering about something.

In just two days, Xiuxiu knew everything about Qiaoshan.

Two days later, he brought Lin Bai along, and the four of them started a Taoist meeting.

Just as they were pulling the peach blossoms with great enthusiasm, the wind suddenly blew up from the sky, blowing up the peach blossoms.

The mottled giant tiger crouched on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

The four men looked up at the sky and saw a green fox falling down, landing right in the middle of them.

"Fairy." Before everyone could stand up, they bowed and saluted.

The fox wagged its tail and glanced at the four people. It wanted to jump into Xiuxiu's arms, but when it saw that Xiuxiu was holding a mole, it jumped on Miaomiao's head in disgust.

Miaomiao didn't dare to move. She raised her eyes and saw the fox's tail swinging back and forth in front of her, making her dizzy.

"After not seeing you for a few days, I thought you two had a baby." The fox said lazily.

"Fairy..." Xiuxiu blushed.

"Welcome back, fairy." Lin Bai was very attentive. He moved forward and wanted to touch the fairy's tail.

Fox Tail opened Lin Bai's hand and threw out two letters, "For both of you."

One letter fell into Xiuxiu's arms, and the other fell in front of Lin Bai.

It’s a letter from Huang Ruhua.

Without opening it, Lin Bai asked with concern, "Fairy, is Xiao Huang okay now?"

"Your lover is very good." said the fox.

"..."Lin Bai has no temper.

The fox Tulu fell into Miaomiao's arms, turned over on his belly, and stared at Miaomiao for a while. "You and your disciple have both received the favor of the wood demon. It's fate."

Lin Bai once cultivated the dead tree cicada, and the skills that Miaomiao cultivated were given by the fox, and the fox got it from the wood demon. Therefore, the master and disciple do have a close connection with the wood demon.

"Did the fairy meet Senior Wood Demon? I wonder what they talked about?" Lin Bai understood what she meant by the sound of the strings.

"What is there to talk about with Old Wood?" The fox wagged its tail and swept Miaomiao's face. Miaomiao immediately understood the opportunity and scratched the fox's belly.

That's what I saw, but unfortunately foxes always fart halfway. It would be fine if they only farted halfway, but it also smells extremely bad.

"The fairy really has a wide circle of friends!" Lin Bai praised casually, but he couldn't help but think of Sister Zhen.

"Your master must be scolding me in his heart for not speaking directly." The fox looked at Miaomiao, then shook his head, pointed his tail at Jiangyu, and said, "Good child, you are a modest gentleman, as gentle as jade. Don't learn from your master, don't learn from your senior sister, don't learn from your sister, and don't learn from your master."

Jiang Yu was ignorant. She knew that her master had many women, her senior sister loved to stir up trouble, and her own sister had cheated on her master, but what did the head of the family do?
After thinking about it, Jiang Yu unexpectedly found that if what Fairy Chen Yu said was true, there were no good people around him.

Lin Bai and Miaomiao looked at Jiang Yu at the same time, thinking to themselves, "Don't learn from the fox."

"Fairy," Xiuxiu held her forehead and said, "Xiaoyuer is a simple and honest gentleman, so he won't go the wrong way." She seemed quite helpless, and then asked, "I was upset before, did the fairy encounter something unpleasant outside?"

The two of them are very close in heart, and it turns out that Xiuxiu is the one who understands foxes best.

"Let's talk about it later." The fox wagged its tail, seeming a little aggrieved.

Lin Bai saw it clearly and guessed that the fox must have suffered a setback, either because he met the wrong person or was cheated by someone. But he didn't know who the fox had suffered the setback from!

"Gu Qingshui is back, why don't you go back?" The fox turned to Lin Bai and started to drive him away.

"Is Ancestor Gu back?" Lin Bai thought of the thin shoulders and asked hurriedly, "Where is Ancestor Xiang?"

"Nature has returned." said the fox.

"I think it's better to practice here," Lin Bai had no intention of going against Xiang Wuhui since he had seen his ability. "Speaking of which, although I work for the Gu family, I am still closer to the fairy in terms of closeness!"

"That's right." Xiuxiu nodded.

Miaomiao and Jiangyu also nodded.

The fox was silent for a while, then said, "Regardless of whether Yue Fengshu was Xiang Wuhui's fat meat, the fact that you killed Xiang Wuhui's personal messenger is probably not going to end well."

I said it wasn't a big problem before! Lin Bai had played with the fox many times and knew that the fox would definitely put forward conditions.

"This..." Lin Bai hesitated, wanting to hear the fox's conditions first.

"If this place doesn't work," Xiuxiu was very opinionated, "I'll go with him to the valley, where Sister Huang lives."

The fox glared at Xiu Xiu and said unhappily, "You rushed to send her away, but you didn't even know you were sold out!"

Xiuxiu smiled embarrassedly, reached out to hug the fox, and said, "Please don't bully him too much, fairy." As she said this, she tickled the fox.

The fox had no temper. He just snorted twice and said nothing more.

Lin Bai and his two disciples bowed to the fox, and began to meditate here from then on.
