Zhongli shook his head slightly and then said, "One thing at a time. It's just that I saw you were Liuyun's disciple, so you are also my junior... hence these greeting gifts."
"Liyue believes in contracts, and contracts are also a kind of equivalent exchange. How about this, you answer my questions, and I will pay you some reward. Although it is not much, it will be enough."
Zhongli said.
After saying that, he didn't give Jiang Ning a chance to refute him and turned to leave.
Jiang Ning stood there for a while, then scratched his head and walked home.
Anyway, if it's given by an elder, why not take it?
…………
"Senior sister, I'm back... um!"
Jiang Ning had just returned when Shen He hugged her tightly, pressing her head down and shoving it into his arms.
Jiang Ning felt as if she were enveloped in softness, and also smelled Shen He's unique fragrance.
Gan Yu, who was holding a plate to the side, lost the sparkle in her eyes once again.
We've been on guard for so long, we forgot that Shen He is back today...
Is this a blatant disregard for my warning right in front of me?
Gan Yu smiled but didn't smile, patted Shen He on the shoulder and said:
"Junior sister, shouldn't you let go of junior brother? He can hardly breathe."
Shen He glanced at Gan Yu, her height giving her an advantage as she looked down at Gan Yu:
"No."
Gan Yu felt that her master's education was a complete failure, as he had actually raised Shen He to be someone who liked to break the law.
"Let go first, Junior Brother really can't breathe!"
Gan Yu tugged at Shen He's arm, but it was no use.
If Jiang Ning hadn't patted Shen He's arm to make her let go, Senior Sister Gan Yu would probably have really lost her temper.
[Start fighting! Start fighting already!] The system was eager to see more drama unfold.
After a brief incident, the three of them sat down to eat.
None of the people were good at cooking, so they ordered takeout from Wanmintang for dinner.
We briefly exchanged our experiences of the day.
Gan Yu continued to work diligently and conscientiously, and now that the ritual for inviting the immortals was complete, she had a rare moment of leisure.
In the past, Gan Yu would definitely have finished some of the work that could be done in advance after the invocation ceremony, or helped others with any extra work that hadn't been completed.
However, there is a "potential criminal" and a "potential victim" in the family.
Therefore, Gan Yu had no choice but to take a painful leave of absence.
Shen He, nothing much to say, he beat up the Hilichurls and Slimes, and also destroyed a few Ruin Guards along the way.
Jiang Ning then recounted with great enthusiasm what he had learned about Liyue Harbor during his day of shopping.
Shen He listened attentively, while Gan Yu looked at her junior brother with "loving" eyes.
However, Gan Yu frowned when she heard about Zhong Li.
"According to what you said, Junior Brother, this Mr. Zhongli should be an old friend of the True Lord... Is he some kind of hermit living in Liyue Harbor?"
Jiang Ning asked, "Senior Sister, don't you know who Mr. Zhongli is?"
Gan Yu shook her head: "I only know that there is such a learned and gentle guest in Liyue Harbor... Many of the True Lord's old friends are living in seclusion, and many of them are not familiar to me, so I can understand..."
I guess it's one of the immortals who follows the Emperor, someone I don't have much interaction with.
In other words, Jiang Ning didn't mention the person sitting at the stone table at the entrance of the cave drinking tea; otherwise, Gan Yu would have immediately figured it out.
After all, everyone who is a friend of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun knows that you can't just sit at that stone table.
“However, it is a stroke of luck that you were able to receive his instruction,” Gan Yu said.
The true teachings of the immortal's spear technique are something that can only be encountered by chance, since one's own master is not skilled in spear techniques.
"Hehe, I'll work hard," Jiang Ning said.
While eating, Gan Yu asked, "Junior Brother, I heard that you can absorb other people's elemental power and make it your own?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes, this is what I absorbed from my senior sister..."
As he spoke, one hand held ice elemental energy, and the other held the solitary and malevolent aura emanating from Shen He.
"That's truly amazing..." Gan Yu was somewhat surprised, then she seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked, "Then, can I try absorbing some more? What about my ice element?"
"We can give it a try." Jiang Ning was also somewhat hopeful.
The Qilin's ice element must be very powerful.
"Let's talk about it after we finish eating," Gan Yu said.
"Senior sister, speaking of food, why do you only eat vegetables? You have a great figure."
"...I am a member of the Qilin clan, and I drink only sweet dew and eat only auspicious grains."
Jiang Ning had no doubts and nodded.
Gan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, her tense heart calming down slightly. It seemed that the True Lord hadn't spoken carelessly...
After a satisfying meal, the three of them went to the courtyard.
Gan Yu raised her hands, and a lotus flower made of ice elements appeared in her palms.
"Junior brother, give it a try."
I'm not the one who can save you.
Gan Yu said.
Jiang Ning nodded and silently placed his hand on the ice lotus.
Under Gan Yu's astonished gaze, the ice element was completely absorbed.
Then, Jiang Ning summoned another identical ice lotus.
"It does indeed contain my aura... Moreover, within your ice element, there seems to be a solitary and malevolent aura, as well as a feeling belonging to our Qilin clan..."
Gan Yu marveled.
"My ice element feels stronger too."
Jiang Ning was also very happy. His senior sister seemed to be very strong, as she was able to give him a visible increase in his control over ice elements and power.
It seems I need to absorb more knowledge in the future.
Jiang Ning made a silent decision.
[Host, aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea from eating random things...?]
"you shut up."
【okay. 】
Shen He, standing to the side, seemed somewhat displeased.
For some reason, the ice element within the junior brother's body originally only contained his own aura, but now, after being tainted with the aura belonging to his senior sister, he feels...
My neck feels heavy, and I'm also very unhappy.
Gan Yu and Jiang Ning looked at each other and smiled.
Shen He silently made a decision.
I don't know how to do it, but I know it's a long time
30. Life is a constant struggle!
Although he had only lived here for a short time, Shen He was quite familiar with some of Gan Yu's little habits.
For example, eat a calming flower before bed.
Shen He felt it was time to use one of the ultimate weapons among the thirty-six techniques that Miss Ying'er had mentioned.
They directly poured the medicine onto Gan Yu.
However, Shen He hesitated.
Because she was unsure whether human medications would work for Gan Yu.
But Shen He did it anyway.
However, when Gan Yu saw that the Qingxin Flower she had prepared that night was covered with white powder, she fell silent.
This immediately reveals that it's a drug from a pharmacy.
Although this kind of thing is useless to Qilin, Gan Yu was still amused by its amusement.
It's obvious who did this.
This is a case of trying to do things secretly when the open methods don't work, right?
However, it's not exactly dark; it's more like dark, but not completely dark.
So Gan Yu silently threw her Qingxin Flower into the trash can, then stood up, ready to find Shen He and teach this arrogant junior sister a lesson.
As soon as I stepped outside, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, my vision went black, and I collapsed to the ground.
Shen He, injured and holding an iron rod covered in talismans, silently watched Gan Yu lying on the ground.
Even the floor tiles were cracked.
The magnitude of the effort is evident.
Jiang Ning, who was about to go to sleep, felt the bed shake.
