I'm in the world of Xianjian

Lin Shen looked back and saw that it was Zhao Linger who came to see him as promised, carrying a package on her back.

Lin Shen came down from the slope, walked up to Zhao Linger and said, "Linger, you're here."

Zhao Linger took the package off and handed it to Lin Shen, saying, "Brother Anos, I've got the jade pendant. This package contains dry food and water. Grandma and Master saw that you hadn't returned, so they asked me to bring it to you.

(Looking at the boulder) Brother Anos, did you make that boulder?

Lin Shen said, "Yes, I observed the terrain. This road is the only way to the dock, so I put a stone to block the road."

"No wonder you and Master acted so calm when someone tried to escape. It turns out you knew they couldn't escape."

"Yes, now I have a task for you (pointing to the boulder): use the Five Elements spell to smash it into pieces."

Zhao Linger was stunned and said, "That's impossible."

Lin Shen had no choice but to demonstrate it again. He condensed a fireball in his hand and threw it at the boulder.

With an explosion, the huge rock was blown into pieces and Ling'er was stunned.

Lin Shen ignored her and snapped his fingers, and the huge rock returned to its original shape. Lin Shen said to Zhao Linger, "Come on."

Zhao Linger came to the boulder, condensed a fireball and threw it over, but it only created a hole.

Lin Shen said nothing, but just winked, signaling Ling'er to continue. Ling'er fired several fireballs in a row, but failed to break the boulder.

Lin Shen watched, wondering if training Ling'er this way would affect the subsequent plot. But the Black Miao tribe hadn't made any movement yet, which was truly strange. Could it be that they hadn't left any backup plans, and all their forces were here?

And now Li Xiaoyao should still be in a state of amnesia, forgetting everything about him and Ling'er.

After a while, Lin Shen noticed that Ling'er was not in a good state. She was sweating, breathing heavily, and felt a little unsteady. Lin Shen understood that this was due to excessive use of spiritual power.

Lin Shen said, "Ling'er, take a rest first."

Zhao Linger turned around and looked at Lin Shen, saying, "A...No...I...I..."

Before she could finish, Ling'er's vision went dark. Lin Shen immediately went over to support her, then took her pulse and confirmed that it was just due to excessive spiritual energy consumption. He then fed her a plant of ambergris. Then he knelt on the ground and let Ling'er rest her head on his thigh.

Lin Shen glanced at the boulder, which had more than a dozen pits of varying sizes. Lin Shen knew that Ling'er also wanted to become stronger, otherwise she wouldn't be working so hard.

Not far from the two of them, Grandma and Lingyue Palace Master were watching their every word and action. Grandma asked, "Is it okay to let Ling'er practice like this?" Lingyue Palace Master said, "I believe in my friend, he will know how to handle it."

Half an hour later, Ling'er woke up. Seeing Lin Shen standing by her side, she said, "Anos...Brother, what's wrong with me?"

Lin Shen looked at Zhao Linger, his eyes filled with heartache. He stroked Zhao Linger's hair and said, "You fainted due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy. Linger, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have given you such high-intensity training right away."

Zhao Linger shook her head and said, "Brother Anos is doing this for Linger's own good. It's Linger's fault. I haven't taken it seriously." At this moment, a "gulp!" sound was heard, and Linger blushed. Lin Shen said, "Eat something."

So Lin Shen helped Ling'er up and took out some dry food and water and gave them to her. Ling'er asked, "Brother Anos, don't you want to eat something?"

"I'm used to not eating. You eat."

Ling'er said, "If you don't eat, Ling'er can't eat."

Lin Shen had no choice but to take the dry food and eat it with Ling'er.

At this moment, a woman's voice came from the other side of the boulder: "Who is so wicked as to put such a large rock here? There's only this one road, how can I get through?"

Lin Shen listened, but couldn't recognize who it was, but he was sure it wasn't Lin Yueru's voice. After putting down his dry food, Lin Shen jumped onto the boulder using the Moon Step.

A girl, about 14 years old, dressed in Bai Miao clothing and wearing a pair of jade anklets, was yelling and cursing below. Lin Shen felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.

Lin Shen shouted, "Hey, are you calling me!?"

The girl said, "Did you place this huge rock there!?"

"I did."

"Move away now! You're going to miss something important. Can you afford it?"

"What can happen to you?"

"Anu wants to talk to Zhao Linger about something."

When Lin Shen heard this, he remembered that Anu was the daughter of the Nanman King, the leader of the Bai Miao tribe. In the adapted plot of the new Xianyi, he learned through Li Xiaoyao that Zhao Linger was on the Xianling Island, but was beaten to it by the Black Miao tribe. Later, they came to her aid in Guiyin Mountain.

She was still somewhat interested in Li Xiaoyao, but because of the deaths of Yueru and Ling'er, he was disheartened and had no intention of remarrying, so the two became "the most familiar strangers."

The TV series has always been about the CP of Anu and Tang Yu, so Lin Shen didn't think of it for a while.

Zhao Linger heard the voice and said, "Brother Anos, who is outside?"

"They are from the Bai Miao tribe."

"You're not here to arrest me."

"Probably not."

Anu shouted, "Princess, is that you?"

Lin Shen jumped in front of Anu, turned around and smashed the boulder with one punch. Anu was stunned by the scene before him and muttered softly, "I don't know which side he is from, but what is certain is that you should not provoke him easily."

Anu walked out of the dirt path and saw Zhao Linger eating. Anu went up to her and hugged her, saying, "Sister Linger, Anu finally found you. I'm so glad you're okay."

Zhao Linger looked confused and asked, "Who are you?"

Anu said, "I am the daughter of the Nanman King, the leader of the White Miao tribe. My name is Anu. It means camellia in Miao land. Sister Ling'er, I heard that Xianling Island was attacked by the Black Miao people. What's the situation? Are you okay?"

Ling'er couldn't speak because she had something in her mouth, so she just winked and signaled Anu to ask Lin Shen. Lin Shen told Anu everything that happened that night. Anu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "A...what's your name?"

"Anos."

"Brother Anos, thank you for saving Ling'er and the people of Shuiyue Palace."

Lin Shen waved his hand: "It's a small matter, but what are your plans? Do you want to stay here for a while, or take Ling'er to Miaojiang?"

"Of course, the Miao region is dry and rainless right now, so Ling'er needs to go back and take charge of the situation."

"I don't object to taking Ling'er to Miaojiang, but now is not the time."

"What do you mean?"

"With her current strength, asking her to deal with those malicious Moon Worshippers is like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth."

"I'll protect her, it's okay."

"Can you defeat the Moon Worshiper or Elder Shi?"

Anu and Zhao Linger were confused by Lin Shen's question. Anu said, "I don't want to argue with you. How about a competition with me? If you lose, Sister Linger will come back to Miaojiang with me..."

"What if you lost?"

"This...Anu is at your disposal."

At this time, the system prompt sounded: "Ding! Main quest released: Stop Anu from taking Zhao Linger away!"

Lin Shen said, "Okay."

So Lin Shen snapped his fingers, and a huge magic circle formed under the feet of Lin Shen, Zhao Linger and Anu. After a while, the three of them disappeared.

Grandma wanted to go up, but was stopped by the Palace Master of Lingyue, who said, "Qiluo, don't worry. My friend should be taking Ling'er and the others to the place where we are practicing in seclusion."

Sure enough, Lin Shen sent Ling'er and Anu to the Time House through the Transmigration Technique. Zhao Ling'er and Anu looked at the blank environment and asked, "Brother Anos, where is this place?"

"This is where Palace Master Lingyue and I practice in seclusion. Don't worry, it's just the three of us here."

After saying that, Lin Shen produced his staff and said, "Come on. If you're worried, you can let Ling'er go with you."

Anu looked back at Ling'er. Ling'er put down the dry food, wiped her mouth, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Anu.

Anu and Ling'er said, "Come on."
