Minglong

Chapter 109: Girl, have you heard my story?
Shashasha~
There was a rustling sound of rain outside the door, and in the old shop filled with musical instruments, the only sound could be heard as the old shopkeeper was repairing the piano.

Nangong Ye was checking with a bamboo flute in her hand. Her heart seemed not to be disturbed by the sudden visitor. After all, she had been famous all over the world since she was a teenager. No matter when she was the head of the sect or when she was traveling in the world under an assumed name, there were too many vulgar people who had the audacity to approach her, and she had never paid any attention to any of them.

According to common sense, if the other party is frustrated, they will usually leave tactfully. But if they feel humiliated and dare to cause trouble, she doesn't mind giving them a couple of sword strikes.

But the young man in white who came up to me today was indeed a little special. Not only was he thick-skinned, but he was also more capable than those idle people.

Xie Jinhuan was actually quite embarrassed after being ignored and wanted to leave tactfully, but Apia was also studying the black-clad woman and whispered in his ear:

"Judging from her breathing, this woman has too much Yang energy. She seems to have been poisoned by some kind of Yang poison."

Oh?
Xie Jinhuan blinked, thought about it, and walked to the other side of the shop, whispering:
"The girl seems unwell. Has she been poisoned?"

"?"

Nangong Ye's eyes narrowed slightly under his veil. He put down his bamboo flute, first scrutinizing the young man in white, then took a few steps closer.

"How did you tell?"

The voice was cold and ethereal, like solid ice that hadn't melted for thousands of years, and contained a certain degree of oppression.

Xie Jinhuan only heard one sentence and knew that this girl was a high-performance racing car. Not only was it fuel-consuming, but most people couldn't control it. He responded calmly:
"My master once taught me some techniques for observing qi. The girl has too much yang energy. She must have been poisoned by the extreme yang."

Nangong Ye seemed to be as still as a mountain, but in fact his eyes were quite surprised:

"Young Master, can you detoxify me?"

Xie Jinhuan laughed and said, "My master has taught me a little. But we just met by chance and I don't even know your name, so it's not appropriate to get too involved."

Nangong Ye has been traveling around the world for many years, and he can actually tell at a glance that this young man is trying to flirt with her.

A weakling in the early stage of the third rank trying to flirt with the pseudo-super-rank female leader is truly ignorant and fearless.

But this time it hit the mark.

As long as Nangong Ye could find a way to detoxify, he could immediately reach the super level and kill that witch cult witch. He naturally wanted to find out if there was a way. After thinking about it, he nodded:
"Qingming Sword Manor Mu Yunhong, nice to meet you."

Qingming Sword Manor...

This is a small sword breed in the south, three or five people in a generation...

However, its descendants are said to be very powerful, and some even serve as immortal officials in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. No wonder they carry magical instruments that can conceal the secrets of heaven...

Xie Jinhuan thought about it for a moment and said with a smile:

"What a beautiful name! Autumn is bleak, maple leaves are red, and the frosty forest is dyed red by the evening clouds. This is a short poem written by Su Baiyu, a great music theorist of the previous dynasty, while he was traveling around Maple Leaf Lake in Jiangzhou. The girl seems to be very fond of music."

?

Nangong Ye took a deep breath and felt that this young boy was a bit overbearing in flirting with girls.

If she didn't have an iron heart, she would have been talked to.

Even though she deliberately kept her distance, after two or three sentences, he still got to know her name, preferences, and even saw her current difficulties...

If this were an ordinary female warrior, she would be kidnapped and taken back home...

Could it be that I didn’t tell fortunes before going out today and encountered a disaster?
In order to prevent their Taoist faith from wavering, Taoists should have left immediately and severed this cause and effect.

But no matter whether it is fate or disaster, once it comes, you can't escape it.

Nangong Ye really needs a way to detoxify, so after thinking about it, he responded calmly:

"Young Master, you have a wide range of knowledge. I think your teacher is extraordinary. May I ask who your teacher is?"

"My master lives in seclusion in the mountains, so I cannot reveal his name. I hope you will forgive me. However, I know a little about the method of detoxification."

As he spoke, the energy in Xie Jinhuan's body circulated, causing the curtain beside him to shift.

Nangong Ye initially thought that this young man with low skills was deliberately being mysterious.

But he soon discovered that strands of icy air were emerging from the other person's white palm.

She was poisoned by the Immortal Burning Gu, and even though the poison hadn't taken effect, she felt extremely hot.

But when you come into contact with this energy, the sensation is like a cool breeze blowing by your side during the scorching summer, or like being covered with a small cotton-padded jacket during the cold winter...

Nangong Ye's eyes were filled with more and more surprise, and he asked curiously:

"How can a serious martial artist like you emit an icy aura? What kind of martial arts is this?"

"Reversing the Dragon and Splitting the Sea, a miscellaneous technique I researched myself."

"Nilong..."

Nangong Ye felt that the name and the martial arts technique really matched well.

Because the icy air machine was really comfortable to use, it would be a waste if she didn't use it, so she raised her slender right arm, and placed an inch between her and Xie Jinhuan, absorbing the essence transmitted by Xie Jinhuan.

But she obviously overestimated the young man's tolerance!
Nangong Ye has already reached the threshold of being a super-grade cultivator. Although his inner elixir is not yet complete and he is not a Taoist super-grade cultivator in the strict sense, he has been able to master magical powers such as levitation and control of objects. The breadth of his Qi channels can be described as a surging river.

As he actively asked for it, even without exerting any force, Xie Jinhuan still felt the terrifying suction force in his palm. It felt like "being violently seated in a huge car, causing a super-high-speed vacuum suction", as if it wanted to squeeze his soul out.

“Aiyaya~…”

Xie Jinhuan was just showing off his flirting skills when he felt a pain in his arm. His cold and innocent expression was immediately broken and he quickly lifted it up:

"Slow down, slow down, why are you in such a hurry?!"

Nangong Ye was already very careful, but with her level of skill, facing Xie Jinhuan's tiny aura, it was like being run over by a big cart.

Finding that Xie Jinhuan couldn't bear it at all, Nangong Ye could only change the initiative to passive, letting Xie Jinhuan play slowly by himself, and asked:

"This method can only provide a temporary relief, it can't eliminate the problem completely. Is this the solution you're talking about?"

Xie Jinhuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was no longer sucking hard, and asked:

"What kind of poison did the girl get?"

Nangong Ye thought for a moment and said, "In the middle of the year, I was traveling in Huzhou and encountered the demon bandits from Queyue Villa. I was accidentally infected with the Burning Immortal Gu. Does your Excellency know anything about this Gu?"

"Burning Immortal Gu..."

Xie Jinhuan frowned secretly, feeling that something was not right, and explained:

"The Burning Immortal Gu is said to be the unique killer move of Queyue Villa. It uses the Yang Qi as a trigger. If the person who is infected has pure Yang Qi, trying to suppress it is like adding fuel to the fire. There is basically no cure. The only solution is the evil Yin Qi unique to Queyue Villa." Nangong Ye saw that this child knew everything and could not hide his surprise. He nodded slightly.

"Young Master is truly knowledgeable."

Xie Jinhuan had learned everything since childhood, so he naturally knew a little about Queyue Villa's signature skills. He also knew that using the Burning Immortal Gu would definitely lead to a fight to the death. He asked in confusion:

"What's the grudge between the young lady and Crescent Moon Villa?"

Nangong Ye responded quite straightforwardly:
"Irreconcilable hatred."

"..."

Xie Jinhuan felt that this flirtation was like connecting the live wire to the neutral wire.

After all, Wanyi is from Queyue Villa. If this female hero is his mortal enemy, he will be attacked from both sides if he really gets in touch with her!
However, the vengeance of Queyue Villa should have little to do with Wanyi, a small secret agent.

Qingming Sword Manor is also a well-known and righteous family. Now that they have established a close relationship, he might be able to help Wanyi get out of trouble in the future. After thinking about it, he responded:
"Well...there are normally three ways to solve the Burning Immortal Gu."

"Oh?"

When Nangong Ye heard this, his icy eyes moved and he looked at the man's profile:

"Which three?"

Xie Jinhuan didn't know why, but he could feel the pressure of the gaze even through the curtain, just like a girl stepping on her chest with high heels and asking questions:

"The first method is, of course, 'the person who tied the bell must untie it,' and the person who put the poison in the body can use cold and yin energy to untie it.

"The second method is to 'disperse the power and start over, replace the blood and cleanse the marrow'. As long as the poison has nothing to attach to, the poison will dissipate on its own, but this method is too costly.

"As for the third type, it's Yin and Yang... Yang... uh..."

Nangong Ye was listening attentively, and when he noticed that Xie Jin was stuck, he frowned secretly:
"Yin Yang what?"

What could be the yin and yang of Apia's crazy idea?
Xie Jinhuan felt that if he said this out loud, he would be chased and hacked to pieces by this female warrior, but that was how Apia answered, so he could only say tactfully:

"They are just some methods that are not worthy of being put on the stage."

Nangong Ye was not stupid, and asked:

"Is it the method of combining yin and yang? How does this method detoxify?"

Xie Jinhuan saw that the girl had guessed it, and did not try to hide it anymore:

"The Burning Immortal Gu is extremely strong and yang, and needs extremely yin and cold energy to neutralize it. Miss, all you need to do is find a disciple of Queyue Villa and absorb the yin and cold energy from their body to counteract it. This will then suppress the Burning Immortal Gu. Although it's difficult for a disciple with low cultivation to eradicate it, it can be suppressed continuously, and theoretically, it will never relapse."

Nangong Ye felt that this theory made some sense. After a little consideration, he shook his head:

"The skills at Queyue Mountain Villa are special. Men who practice it are yang in nature, and their yin and cold energy is not pure. It is difficult for them to enter the sect and become masters. Most of them do odd jobs within the sect.

"Women are yin, so practicing this skill will yield twice the result with half the effort. However, the cold yin energy is trapped within the Yin Gate. To remove it, I can only use the 'gathering yin to replenish yang' skill. If I were a man, this method would work, but I am a woman, so this method is not advisable."

"No."

Xie Jinhuan raised his hand and patiently explained according to Apia's thoughts:

"The girl only needs to find a 'middleman' who will first absorb the woman's Yin and cold energy and store it in his own body, then send it into the girl's body, and he will be able to suppress the Yang poison."

"..."

Nangong Ye blinked and quickly understood what he meant - asking her to find a two-headed dragon to connect her and the witch cult!
This is simply outrageous...

How could she do such a shameless and unorthodox thing?
Xie Jinhuan also felt that the ghost wife's "double flying to pass the air" was even more outrageous than Wanyi's a hundred times. Noticing that the heroine was speechless for a long time, in order to avoid having her legs broken on the spot, he added:
"I'm just proposing a method. You can ask the seniors if it's feasible. It's okay to treat it as a joke. Hmm... where do you live? If I find out about other solutions, I can tell you."

Nangong Ye knew that this method might be useful, but she really couldn't bear it any longer. At worst, she would compromise and give the Phoenix Feather Grass to that witch. How could she possibly take such an outrageous method?

Considering that the other party was indeed giving advice, Nangong Ye did not get angry:
"Fengyi River, Suyunzhai. After all this talk, the young master still hasn't introduced himself."

"Fengling Valley, thank you for your happiness."

"?"

Xie Jinhuan was about to continue speaking when he suddenly noticed that the collar of the veiled woman in front of him had expanded significantly, probably because she had taken a deep breath. He blinked and said in surprise:
"Girl, have you heard my story?"

Nangong Ye really wanted Xie Jinhuan’s face to be full of stories!
She heard about Xie Jinhuan's deeds in Danyang and had high expectations. She heard that Qing Mo and Xie Jinhuan were close, and she even wanted to bring Qing Mo together and become his mother-in-law.

But she never expected that the young man in front of her would be the righteous knight who would sacrifice his life for the people, and the perfect man that the King of Alchemy said would not appear in a thousand years!
After some contact, she could feel that Xie Jinhuan lived up to his reputation. He was knowledgeable, experienced, and capable, but he was not as decent as the rumors said. On the contrary, he seemed to be quite a playboy.

Without knowing anything about the women they meet, he dares to flirt with them, and he is extremely skilled at it. Every move he makes goes straight to the woman's heart, and he absolutely cannot do without a confidante.

How could such a young man be chosen as the husband of one's beloved disciple?
However, Xie Jinhuan's chivalrous act came first, so we can't deny Xie Jinhuan as a whole based on just one side of the story...

Is it normal for a man to flirt with a woman? She went out incognito, and Xie Jinhuan didn't know who she was. If he knew she was his mother-in-law and still wanted to flirt with her, that would be a real rebellion...

So we need to observe more...

Now that he has revealed his identity, Xie Jinhuan is definitely pretending and won't reveal his true colors like he does now...

Furthermore, the news that he was infected with the Burning Immortal Gu could not be easily revealed...

Thinking of this, Nangong Ye responded:
"Master Xie is a renowned hero in Danyang. How could I not have heard of him? I have something else to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. We'll meet again someday."

After saying that, he left the shop and walked into the misty rain.

Xie Jinhuan watched the cold woman leave with her sword on her back, and felt that this female warrior was indeed a little indescribably special. He pondered secretly:
Mu Yunhong...

Could it be Mu Yunling's daughter...

No, according to the ranking, they should be sisters. This woman sounds like she's in her early twenties at most, so it's unlikely...

……

The shopkeeper, who had been tuning the strings, only looked up after the heroine left and exclaimed:
"Young Master, you must have practiced this skill of flirting with women for many years, right?"

"Haha, I've only been practicing for sixteen years."

Xie Jinhuan made a casual joke and didn't stay any longer. He walked to the Yang's Pharmacy in the East Market with an umbrella, waiting for Yang Sichen and the old ancestor who was about to be cheated out of Jiazi Lotus by him...

I feel a little nervous when I think about it...
