Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

"Weekly braised short ribs."

"……That's it?"

Shen Qiao blinked and gave a wicked smile, "What do you think?"

Wu Jin averted his gaze awkwardly. "Deal."

Seeing that the person agreed, Shen Qiao also restrained his spiritual network, "So what is it that brings you here to see me?"

Wu Jin straightened up from his restraints and stretched his shoulders. "Remember that puppeteer from three years ago?"

Shen Qiao's playful expression faded slightly, and his eyes became more inquiring. "Didn't they say that man was captured and executed in Floating Cloud City two years ago?"

"That's how it was originally." Wu Jin also turned serious. "But three days ago, something happened in the territory of the Divine Sky Sect. An outsider went crazy in the inn where he was staying. At night, while everyone was asleep, he killed everyone in the inn. The people of the Divine Sky Sect investigated and finally found out..."

"This person is from Xiyuan."

Shen Qiao's eyes trembled, and he asked in disbelief, "That Xiyuan that was burned clean by the skyfire a long time ago?"

"Correct."

Xiyuan...Xiyuan...

Why is this place still haunted?

Shen Qiao thought for a moment, "So what should I say this time?"

"Because Tianxingmen has handled related matters before, Shenxiao Sect wants to cooperate with Tianxingmen and follow the route this person took, all the way to Xiyuan to have a look."

"Immortal Queyue sent a message this morning, wanting you to go with several other brothers and sisters. The master asked me to ask for your opinion."

Why ask? Of course we have to do it! Isn't this the root of the Zhang Wan case?

"I have no objection. I can leave anytime." Shen Qiao said bluntly.

"You just said that the leader has appointed several other people besides me?"

Wu Jin nodded. "There will be seven of us going, as this is also an opportunity for training. The five of you who became my disciples together, plus Mu Jiu, who went on the mission with you last time, and Zhu Yu."

Zhu Yu? By the way, he's Yan Zun's apprentice. Yan Zun must have told him about Xi Yuan. As for Mu Jiu, he seemed quite knowledgeable about these tricks the last time I saw him. It makes sense for these two to lead the team. However, since they were the five who became her apprentices...

"Master wants Luo Dai to go with you?"

"Yes." Wu Jin and Shen Qiao looked at each other, as if they had a tacit understanding of something.

"Master means that if you are sure you want to go, you should go find him before you leave."

"Row."

Shen Qiao put away the sparrow kite and brushed off the dust that had accumulated on his body from meditation. "Where is he now?"

"He's in Fuying Building. He guessed you would agree, so he asked me to come find you. He said he had some instructions for you."

"Okay, I'm leaving now! Remember you still owe me braised short ribs for a week!"

Seeing this person walking and looking back, Wu Jin was a little amused and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Greedy girl."

After three years of getting along, Shen Qiao almost figured out Wang You's habits.

According to Wu Jin, before she came, this person loved to provoke other elders who were still in the sect, such as Ze Lan and Yun Zhi. However, after she came, Wang You rarely went out. On weekdays, apart from checking her homework progress at a fixed time every day and teaching her the mantras and mental methods of controlling weapons, he would stay on the second floor to review or record something.

She had glanced at those messy memorials before, but perhaps because her realm was not high enough, she could not see the words clearly. Since Wang You did not tell her, she did not ask again.

Shen Qiao walked all the way to the front of Fuying Building and found the door was open. She stood at the door, knocked, and peeked out, "Master, are you looking for me?"

As soon as the voice fell, Wang You's voice came from upstairs, "Yes, come up."

Shen Qiao went up the stairs to the second floor. The lighting was very good and the view was wide, allowing him to take in the entire Budu Cliff.

When I went up, Wang You was sitting at the table, simply tidying up papers. In his own territory, this man never tidied himself up. His long hair was just scattered casually, and he wore a dark purple robe over his black clothes. Looking at the messy table and the burnt candle, I knew that he had stayed up all night again.

but!

Although they all stayed up late, Shen Qiao never saw Wang You with dark circles under his eyes.

"Come, come closer." Wang You waved at her.

Shen Qiao leaned over without knowing what was going on, and as soon as he poked his head out, Wang You reached out and hit him on the head.

"! Why are you hitting me?" Shen Qiao took a few steps back in surprise, covering his forehead and grimacing in pain.

This old guy didn't hold back at all, and she was almost stunned.

Wang You looked at her resentful expression and chuckled, "I hit you for two reasons. The first is to wake you up. You've been in Budu Cliff for three years now, and you can count the number of times you've come down the mountain on one hand. If I don't remind you a few times, I'm afraid you'll be so confused and confused after you go down that your mind won't work."

"Secondly, I've placed three strands of my divine consciousness between your eyebrows. If you encounter something you can't solve yourself, you have three chances to ask me for help. Of course, there are only three chances. I think with your current abilities and realm, three chances are more than enough."

Shen Qiao rubbed his forehead, tears streaming down his face. "What if I've used up all my opportunities and run into something difficult to resolve?"

Wang You gave a slightly threatening smile, "Then don't tell anyone else that you are my disciple."

Even if I tell you, you won’t understand.

Shen Qiao secretly complained and turned around, "I know, I'll go back and clean up first."

"Hey, it's not over yet."

Shen Qiao paused, wary of going over directly, "What are you doing?"

Wang You looked at her shrinking back in guard, feeling a bit amused and helpless. "I'm not hitting you this time. Am I such an untrustworthy person in your place?"

"Isn't it?" Shen Qiao said while still doing as he was told and stretched his head forward.

This time, Wang You only touched the jade buckle on her ear bone with his knuckles, as if to confirm something, "You should wear this thing carefully. As long as you are not overdrawn, it can help protect your heart meridian from damage."

"Oh..." Shen Qiao checked his ears, "Is everything okay now?"

Wang You looked her up and down for a moment, then finally looked away and waved his hand casually, "Go ahead, go ahead. Come back the same way you left, or you can come back for more practice."

Shen Qiao suppressed a smile and said, "Yes, disciple understands."

"Well, let's go."

Shen Qiao bowed slightly to Wang You, then turned and went downstairs.

After Shen Qiao left, Wang You, who had been acting indifferent, sighed. He raised his head as if he was worried, looked at the place where Shen Qiao had left, and muttered to himself,

"Tsk, three years have passed, and I've grown this tall without realizing it."
