Jiang Ning quite enjoyed teaching his senior sister everything about the mortal world, and then gradually letting this aloof fairy fall into the mortal realm.
The most wonderful thing is to do what you want to do when the time comes.
Moreover, for some reason, Jiang Ning had a premonition that if he didn't keep his second brother in check, he would be the one to suffer.
There's no reason why, it's just intuition.
After resting for a while, the almond tofu that Philgold had ordered arrived.
Jiang Ning followed Shen He to the top floor of Wangshu Inn without stopping.
The top-floor platform was deserted and eerily silent.
Shen He held up the tender, white almond tofu and said:
"Immortal Xiao, are you there?"
But there was no response.
Jiang Ning asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is she not here? Senior Sister, are you...?"
Before anyone could speak, a young boy's voice rang out, as cold and aloof as Shen He's.
"Liu Yun sent you here again? And this gentleman... is he your junior brother?"
Shen He nodded: "Mm..."
Then Shen He looked at Xiao, and Xiao looked at Shen He, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
Jiang Ning also felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
This is clearly a case of two people who aren't good at chatting getting together...
However, the appearance of this Xiao Shangxian was beyond his expectations.
12. Xiao
I originally thought that Xiao Shangxian would be a burly yaksha, the kind with a blue face and fangs.
Only by using evil to control evil can the evil spirits of the landlord be suppressed.
But he was actually a boy who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old?
Dark blue hair, eyeshadow around the eyes, paired with a white sleeveless top and a mask hanging from the waist...
Honestly, Jiang Ning really didn't think it looked like a Yaksha.
But what Jiang Ning envied most was... this guy was taller than him.
Seeing that Jiang Ning did not reply, Xiao frowned.
Jiang Ning then realized: "Yes, Immortal Xiao, I am a disciple that my master took in two years ago. My name is Jiang Ning."
"I see... What brings you here? I am affected by the remnants of a demon god, so it's best for others not to get too close to me."
Ah, it's the same story as my senior sister, but... remnants of a demon god...
Jiang Ning was very curious, but now was clearly not the time to ask.
"It's nothing, I just rested at the inn for the night, but I still wanted to come and pay a visit."
Shen He said honestly.
Xiao said, "There's no need for that. I told you, others shouldn't get too close to me, especially since you still have... um?"
As he spoke, Xiao froze, unable to sense the dark and gloomy aura emanating from Shen He's body any longer.
The next moment, Jiang Ning felt a blur before his eyes, and the demon that had been standing on the rooftop instantly appeared in front of them.
How did you manage to sit there?
Xiao's voice carried a hint of urgency. If he could solve this problem himself, he would have more time to guard this place.
"It's all thanks to my junior brother," Shen He said.
"Him?" Xiao looked at Jiang Ning.
As expected, he possessed ice elements within his body, seemingly similar to Shen He's, and also retained Shen He's original aura of solitude and malevolence...
What surprised Xiao even more was that the aura of loneliness and evil was very obedient and docile within Jiang Ning's body.
Xiao continued to use his magic to investigate, but he couldn't detect anything.
[Hmph, thinking you can continue probing? That's incredibly naive...]
The blocking skill is no joke, the system thought smugly.
"How did you do that?" Xiao asked, staring intently at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning said, "My physique is special, and I can absorb these things for my own use."
"Absorb...?" Xiao lost interest and seemed somewhat disappointed.
One's own demonic remnants and resentment are no good things; they are even more dangerous than the aura of a solitary demon.
Forget it, these are responsibilities I should bear anyway.
Xiao regained his original indifference.
"Um, Immortal Xiao..."
Jiang Ning wanted to say something, but another loud noise came from afar, followed by billowing smoke and dust, and some black smoke in the smoke.
Xiao's gaze sharpened, and he vanished from his spot in an instant.
"...What's going on?" Jiang Ning asked, puzzled.
Shen He said, "The demons affected by the remnants of the demon god... Xiao Shangxian should have gone to deal with them."
"Should we go and help them too?"
“No need. Immortal Xiao’s speed is much faster than ours. If we go now, the problem will be solved long ago,” Shen He said.
Jiang Ning asked, "What is the 'remnant of the demon god' that I was just about to ask?"
"In ancient times, it is said that the Emperor pacified and suppressed one demon god after another in the territory of Liyue, and the remnants of the demon gods were the resentment left behind after their death."
"If left unattended, it will not only endanger the people, but also enrage the monsters, making them even more difficult to deal with."
"So, Xiao Shangxian is the immortal who is specifically responsible for handling these things?" Jiang Ning asked.
Shen He nodded, then his gaze seemed to hold a hint of regret.
"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"
"Almond tofu..."
Jiang Ning: "...Just leave it here. Perhaps Xiao Shangxian will eat it when he gets back after dealing with the remnants of the demon god."
"it is good."
…………
"Boss, I'm here to check the recent toll registration information."
A capable yet spirited voice rang out.
Philgoldette looked up and gave a warm smile:
"Lady Keqing, you've come in person again?"
"Of course, with the Immortal Invocation Ceremony just around the corner, how could I not personally take charge?" Ke Qing nodded and said.
"It would be better to have one of your subordinates do this kind of thing."
Phil Gaudette said with a smile as she took out the register of passersby.
"I believe in doing things personally. Moreover, this year I am in charge of the ritual to invite the immortals, so I must ensure that everything goes perfectly. The registration book for those entering the area must be carefully reviewed and recorded."
Keqing said.
“Understood, I will register properly,” Philgoldette said.
"Alright, let me take a look at the register first, and we'll talk about it later."
Keqing waved her hand and said.
After saying that, he began to work diligently on the inspection.
In about ten minutes, all the registrations for the week had been reviewed.
"There are quite a few outsourcing merchants coming to Liyue... more than in the past period."
Ke Qing muttered to herself.
Philgold said, "Isn't the Summoning Ceremony about to begin? So all the merchant groups are thinking of coming to pay homage to the Emperor's glory. Moreover, we don't know what kind of laws will be promulgated this year, which will have a great impact on Liyue's business. Liyue is the largest commercial center, so the merchants of these merchant groups will definitely try every means to come."
Upon hearing this, Ke Qing seemed somewhat displeased and put down the register in her hand.
"Alright, the register has been checked. Now, let me ask you something."
Keqing continued.
"Have two immortal disciples arrived here?"
Phil Gaudette said, "Your information is truly excellent. Two immortal disciples have come to pay their respects to the one on the rooftop."
"I see... Could you tell me their room number? I'd like to talk to them a bit."
Although the squad leader of the Thousand Rock Army said earlier that the other party did not seem to be someone who pursued fame and fortune.
However, it's still necessary to thank them in person.
Moreover, this was a dereliction of duty on their part, as they had allowed such a Rock Hill King to enter the trade route.
Both out of courtesy and reason, Ke Qing should personally thank them in person.
Moreover, even if they are disciples of the immortals, they are still considered "people" of Liyue...
Perhaps, they will accept their own ideas?
Although they haven't met yet, for some reason, Keqing has this expectation.
