Junior sister took first place again

In the northern valley of Tianyuan Sect, the airflow in the air was disturbed by the secret realm, sometimes stagnant and sometimes in an extreme state.

Finally, at dusk, just as Wen Xingzhou had said, there was a huge wave in the air.

Then, behind the two elders, a circular entrance appeared, shimmering with mysterious power.

The temptation of the secret realm was quite great, causing a commotion among the crowd.

One of the Tianyuan Sect elders unleashed his mighty power and said in a voice that everyone could hear:

"Please enter in an orderly manner. Tianyuan Sect will not prevent anyone from entering, but we will not be polite to those who do not follow the rules."

He focused his gaze on the place where the loudest noise had just occurred. The people whose eyes were swept over were startled and lowered their heads to avoid him.

Just a warning, the entrance to this random secret realm is open for a limited time.

Another elder began to slowly arrange for the disciples of Tianyuan Sect to enter, and did not stop the other cultivators standing in front from following in.

Ning Jiasheng, Yun Shu and Yan Wanqiu watched for a while, and all three of them were eager to try.

She glanced at her senior brother, Wen Xingzhou lowered his head slightly, smiled gently and said: "Go, I wish you all a safe journey."

Everyone bowed in thanks.

Ning Jiasheng interrupted her senior brother's whispering in her ear.

"Then I'll leave first. Brother, wait for my good news."

Wen Xingzhou paused for a moment, his throat moved slightly, and then he spoke softly:

"it is good!"

"Everything goes well, Junior Sister, remember, your safety is the most important."

Ning Jiasheng nodded, smiled, and bowed to him like a few others, then turned and walked towards the entrance of the secret realm with his companions.

Any team with disciples from the Tianyuan Sect can openly cut in line and advance. Ning Jiasheng's team was relatively early to enter.

However, the first group were still the people from the Sword Casting Villa and that independent cultivator, and no one else dared to compete with them for the road.

Ning Jiasheng and his companions approached the entrance and were illuminated by the light, then sucked into the secret realm.

The scene in front of him suddenly became pitch black, and there was a tearing sensation in the air. Ning Jiasheng calmly steadied himself.

However, the process was extremely fast. After a few breaths, she regained her sight and found herself standing in the center of a dilapidated ruin.

She looked around cautiously and found that only Yun Shu was in the same place as her.

Yun Shu hurried over to join her, and the two of them took out jade slips to call others.

"Senior Sister, where are you? Is there anyone else with you?"

Before Zhang Jiayu replied, Ning Jiasheng's jade slip lit up. She saw it was from Wanqiu.

"Ah Sheng, Senior Sister Zhang, my junior brother, and I were teleported to a forest in the west. Are you with Junior Sister Yun?"

At this moment, Yun Shu also received the same reply from her senior sister.

The two replied to each other, "We are in the east. Ah Sheng/Yun Shu and I are in a dilapidated small town."

After the news was communicated, both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s great that they are not spread too thinly, otherwise the danger level would be greatly increased.

The two parties said to each other to be careful, agreed to walk towards the center, and slowly gather in the middle.

As he spoke, Ning Jiasheng sensed the appearance of many more auras around him, and more cultivators were teleported to the vicinity one after another.

Ning Jiasheng and Yun Shu put away the jade slips and prepared to take action when an accident suddenly occurred -

The city changed suddenly, and the buildings in the city looked brand new. There was a constant stream of pedestrians and vendors on the bluestone-paved streets, and the shops on both sides were crowded with customers. It was very lively and presented a prosperous scene.

Ning Jiasheng and Yun Shu looked at each other and each took up their weapons.

Yunshu's weapon is a pipa.

They stood by the roadside, and Yun Shu once again took out the jade slip to explain the situation here, but as the two had guessed, the jade slip could not send out the message.

"It seems that this place has been completely sealed by the owner of this place. I'm afraid that the only way out is to fulfill his wish."

Ning Jiasheng nodded. Such a large and realistic illusion could not be broken by a group of cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.

There was a festive sound of gongs, drums and suonas in the distance. The two turned their heads and looked.

I saw a groom riding a tall horse coming around the corner, followed by a group of musicians in red and green.

Next came the ladies scattering flower petals and copper coins all over the sky, the bright red sedan chair guarded by several people, and finally the endless line of horse-drawn carriages.

Ning Jiasheng and Yun Shu also learned some basic information from the cheers and praises from the people around them.

This city is called Yangcheng, and today is the wedding day of the city lord's youngest son.

This is a happy wedding that everyone is looking forward to and blessing.

The groom is the bride's distant cousin. The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts. They are both talented and beautiful, and they are in love with each other. They are simply a match made in heaven.

As soon as the bride reached the marriageable age, they couldn't wait to take her home.

When the team passed by, Ning Jiasheng and the others saw that they could not hear any more news from the crowd, so they looked aside and gestured to Yunshu.

Yun Shu nodded slightly, and the two of them walked a few steps to a woman with an easygoing personality and a friendly face.

The two of them bowed, and Yun Shu spoke in a gentle voice, "Excuse me, Madam. We two sisters have just arrived in this precious land. We just heard everyone discussing the city lord's son's wedding, and we would like to visit the mansion to offer our congratulations."

"We can't leave empty-handed, so we want to find out who the bride is from so we can give her a gift."

There were mostly ordinary people around. Ning Jiasheng and Yun Shu had just activated the breath-concealing technique, so no one around noticed them.

The woman suddenly saw the fairy in the sky, her eyes widened and she exclaimed,

"Oh my God! I've seen many fairies, but this is the first time I've seen such a pretty young lady. She really looks like a fairy from heaven."

The two smiled at her. The woman took a deep breath, managed to calm down, and said in a soft voice,

"You two fairies are so polite. How about you come to my shop and buy a box of rouge and powder produced in Meiling, Pingyang County?"

As if realizing that this was inappropriate, she hurriedly explained:

"Miss Jin, oh, that's the bride, she's the daughter of the Pingyang County Magistrate. You can't go wrong buying this for safekeeping."

"I can sell myself to you two fairies for 90%... no... 80% of the price, for good luck."

Ning Jiasheng transmitted a message: "The spiritual energy around me hasn't changed. For a moment, I didn't realize this was a floating world city."

Some places in the cultivation world do retain the county system.

But the title of county magistrate is impossible.

Because there is no emperor in the world of cultivation, after a sect or family takes control of a place, some will continue to use the original county system for easier management.

But apart from the title of city lord, outsiders generally call the managers of various places his surname + chief, or surname + immortal king.

There will be no specific official title other than the city lord.

The two remained calm, and Yun Shu continued to talk to the proprietress.

"Thank you, ma'am, there's no need for a discount. The gift for the newlyweds should be perfect."

The proprietress was even kinder, and she kept looking at the two of them and agreed, "The fairy is right, I was confused."

In this world, even though the two are relatives, there is still a big gap in their family backgrounds.

The two followed the proprietress towards her shop, and Yun Shu continued to ask this question.

The lady boss started talking as soon as she heard it.

"You two fairies, you may not know that although Miss Jin's family background is not as good as our city lord's, she is a remarkable woman with a kind heart like a bodhisattva. Within a radius of dozens of miles, there is no one who doesn't praise her."

Curiosity flashed in their eyes, "I'd like to hear more details."

Seeing the two of them giving her face, the proprietress wanted to talk to them more, so she spoke quickly like pouring beans:

"Fourteen years ago, when our City Lord took office, the Pingyang County Magistrate was also suddenly replaced. County Magistrate Jin hurried to pay his respects to his superiors, and only then did he discover and get to know our City Lord Lin."

"When his wife's aunt's niece got married, she married City Lord Lin. At that time, he was an insignificant official in the capital. Because the two families were related, he also attended the wedding."

"However, City Lord Lin is the young master of the Duke's Mansion, and County Magistrate Jin is a Jinshi from a humble family. They didn't know each other at this wedding."

"After the visit in Yangcheng, the two sides had some exchanges. City Lord Lin felt that he looked familiar and only then did he realize that his wife and County Magistrate Jin's wife were cousins."

"Mrs. Lin came to Yangcheng with the city lord. She was unfamiliar with the place. When she heard her husband say that her aunt's niece was also here, she often held flower and poetry gatherings and invited everyone to participate.

"After a few visits, the two ladies quickly became familiar with each other."

"At that time, Miss Jin was one year old and Master Lin was three. The two ladies always took their two children with them wherever they went. The two cousins have been playing together since they were young."

Having said this, they had already walked into the shop. The proprietress ordered the maid to bring over several of the most fashionable gift boxes.

Inviting them to sit down and drink their tea, she took her time to choose. She drank a full cup and continued:

"The two ladies were kind and generous, and often took their children to the Ci'an Hall to help orphans and young children. Influenced by them, the two children also had pure, gentle and kind personalities."

They all sound like nice people, Ning Jiasheng and the others thought to themselves without interrupting her.

"But when Miss Jin was twelve years old, she suddenly fell seriously ill. No medicine could cure her. The doctors in the city and the doctors summoned by the city lord all expressed their condolences to the County Magistrate and his wife—"

Hearing this turn of events, the two of them were cheered up.

"Mrs. Jin was overwhelmed, and Young Master Lin cried to save his sister. They both fainted several times. In the end, County Magistrate Jin managed to hold on and began to prepare for his funeral."

"The tomb was chosen on Meiling Mountain because it was Miss Jin's favorite place."

"It was the height of summer, so the funeral couldn't be delayed any longer. After choosing a suitable date, County Magistrate Jin and Young Master Lin, who couldn't be taken away, went to bury her together."

"But just as the coffin arrived at Meiling, a magical scene occurred."

The proprietress drank another cup of tea and couldn't help raising her voice a little:

"In the scorching summer heat, the hundreds of acres of red plum blossoms on Meiling Mountain suddenly bloomed."

"When everyone was shocked by this strange sight, Master Lin suddenly shouted—"

"My sister is not dead, open it! Open it for me! My sister is not dead!"

"He threw himself on the coffin and shouted, stopping everyone from moving forward."

"County Magistrate Jin was about to be furious. The time for the burial had already been calculated. Even if he was the city lord's son, he would not tolerate Young Master Lin making a scene at his daughter's funeral again and again."

"But just as he pulled Master Lin away, the coffin lid flew away with a bang. Miss Jin, dressed in shrouds, sat up from the coffin and looked at the two of them with a mixture of tears and laughter."

"Everyone was frightened and scattered. The coffin fell to the ground. Only Young Master Lin broke free from Magistrate Jin's hand and rushed over to hug her."

County Magistrate Jin was also shocked, but no matter what, he would not be afraid of his own daughter, so he asked——"

"Second Mother, is it really you?"

"Miss Jin patted Master Lin, looked up at her father and said—"

"Father, it's me. I've been walking in a void these past few days, and a voice told me that this is my doom."

"However, both mother and you are people of merit. You and Uncle Lin have done great service to the people of this area. Mother and aunt are kind and generous. Many children in Ci'an Hall are praying for me. Therefore, God tells me that I am not destined to die this time."

"This plum tree is a blessing from heaven. From now on, as long as our two families remain true to our original aspirations, these plum blossoms will continue to bloom all year round."

"When the attendants around Magistrate Jin heard this, they began to pray to God. Miss Jin's personal maid also cried with joy."

"After hearing this, County Magistrate Jin said 'good' three times, expressed his gratitude to God, made a promise, and then led everyone back home."

"A clever attendant had already gone back and announced the news. Madam Jin recovered without any medicine, and she rose from her bed, weeping loudly as she greeted her now-lost daughter."

After hearing this, Ning Jiasheng and Yun Shu were certain that Miss Jin was the key.

Because when the wedding sedan passed by just now, they all smelled an extremely strong fragrance of red plum blossoms.

It cannot be achieved by just the plum blossoms scattered by the ladies.

They still sat there with smiles on their faces, because the proprietress was still talking.

"After this incident, the two families became even closer, and the two lords and their wives remembered their promise to Heaven and governed Yangcheng very well."

"Miss Jin survived a great disaster and, blessed by heaven, became proficient in medicine. She often worked with Young Master Lin to provide medical care to the sick within Yangcheng. Even people from other places came all the way to seek her treatment, and she treated and sent them off one by one."

"The news gradually spread further and further, and the two officials performed their duties very well. When the emperor heard about it, he decided to promote them. However, every time they walked a mile, they would fall unconscious."

"The two gentlemen had no choice but to submit a memorial explaining the situation. Fortunately, His Majesty is a kind and benevolent person, so he allowed them to continue their duties and sent an imperial envoy to visit once a year."

The proprietress was still quite satisfied with what she was saying, but it was getting late, and it was almost time for the two fairies to come and watch the ceremony. She stood up and said:

"I have finished speaking. Have the two fairies chosen their own? If I go there now, I will be in time for the wedding ceremony."

Ning Jiasheng and the other person stood up, each picking up a gift box and saying, "Thank you, Madam, for clearing up my doubts. We'll choose these two."

The proprietress simply nodded and wrapped it in brocade herself and handed it to them.

"Two fairies, please take your time. If you have time, you can come to our shop and sit for a while. I would also like to feast my eyes."

The proprietress was stunned after she said this, and she wanted to bite her tongue.

As a businesswoman, it is really annoying that she has repeatedly made inappropriate remarks today.

Ning Jiasheng and Yun Shu smiled at each other and agreed calmly.

It was truly remarkable for an ordinary person to have a clear gaze, speak coherently, and not stutter in front of Yun Shu.

After all, the influence of the charm cultivators on people is the same for both genders.
