The villain has been playing badly for ten years

Ning Xiusu hurried out and saw a winding stream outside the dilapidated earthen house with a palm-roof. Flower trees grew in an interlaced pattern on both sides, and the flowers with white petals swayed gently in the night breeze.

When he raised his head, his clothes rustled. Song Xing was like a bird flying in the sky, landing on a branch, pinching the jade ruler and flying away.

Miao Wuqiong fled in the flower forest, and the jade ruler behind him shone like blue lightning.

It jumped on the branches of a flowering tree, startling a piece of white. Suddenly it landed and found Ning Xiusu not far away. It jumped towards him as if it had found a savior.

Ning Xiusu saw it hiding behind him, but the next moment, Song Xing's jade ruler flashed a dazzling light and passed before his eyes.

"and many more."

The jade ruler stopped at the throat.

Ning Xiusu was nervous when he stepped forward to stop her. If this girl didn't stop, she would be bloodied on the spot!

"Big villain, what are you doing up there!"

Hua Jianbai quickly stepped forward and smiled at Song Xing: "Little Sword Immortal, I'm sorry, my friend was frightened and a little confused."

Having said that, he was about to pull Ning Xiusu away.

But unexpectedly, he withdrew his hand and said to Song Xing:

"Miss Song, this thing saved me, can you let it go?"

Her delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her tone was very surprised:

"An evil creature in the flesh will not save anyone, unless it is yours."

Ning Xiusu nodded.

"This thing is currently mine."

"Oh no, why are you admitting this? Those people in the sect are very stubborn!"

Hua Jianbai was extremely anxious and suspected that Ning Xiusu had been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Song Xing indeed said:

"Master said that within the sect and in the Eastern Wilds, no one is allowed to raise flesh-bodied evil creatures. If you raise evil creatures, aren't you the same as birds of a feather?"

"I just said that this thing is mine, but I didn't admit that I raised it."

Song Xing obviously didn't listen to the nitpicking, he just felt that he looked familiar.

"Have we met somewhere?"

Ning Xiusu had been staying in Lingnan, and it was estimated that she had only just joined the sect ten years ago.

He replied: "Probably... not."

Song Xing didn't pay much attention when they were fighting just now. It was only during the conversation that he felt a hint of the mermaid's aura on the other party.

"No wonder, you are a mermaid. Evil creatures and demons are inseparable."

As she spoke, a faint blue light flashed from her fingertips, suddenly pointing towards the center of his eyebrows.

Ning Xiusu was suddenly startled, and his whole body felt as if struck by lightning, and the air around him seemed to solidify.

All of a sudden his legs went weak, he lost his balance and fell backwards.

"Big villain!"

Hua Jianbai screamed and raised his arms to catch the body.

Seeing Ning Xiusu's face turn pale, he angrily said, "Hey, little sword immortal, what are you doing? The sect can't hurt people randomly, right?"

But Song Xing was not trying to hurt anyone, he was just testing them.

After all, whether practicing martial arts or spiritual cultivation, the brow chakra is the foundation, but this person does not have the slightest fluctuation of spiritual consciousness, making it even more difficult to detect anything else.

"How could that be? Mermaids are born with the ability to cultivate, but your spiritual veins are completely destroyed. You are not even as good as an ordinary martial artist."

She asked doubtfully, but restrained her murderous intent.

Hanamibai quickly said:

"That's right, none of us can raise evil creatures. Little Sword Immortal, you should remove the barrier and return to the sect to report. Don't dwell on this anymore."

Song Xing looked at Hua Jianbai again, frowning like an autumn mountain:

"But Banjiao is a demon, not to mention Beijiao. I just want to remind you..."

"Alas, the people of Dayan and the mermaids coexist. You've been staying in Kunqiu Mountain for too long and have forgotten that there are good monsters among the monsters nowadays."

Ning Xiusu felt his vision blurry, clutching his forehead, unable to utter a word due to the pain.

After a while, he slowly let go of his hand and sighed:

"It's been so many years, how can the Shangqing Sect still be like this?"

Song Xing seemed displeased: "What did you say?"

"Old-fashioned and inflexible, he guards his own little piece of land all day long, arrogant and prejudiced."

After hearing what Ning Xiusu said, it seemed that he could not find any rebuttal. The sect might be prejudiced against monsters, but Song Xing was indeed not that old-fashioned.

She snorted again and said angrily, "No matter what, if I see that evil creature eating people again, it will be your fault."

After saying that, a faint blue light flashed from his fingertips, removing the dust barrier, and then he stepped on the jade ruler and left.

……

When the faint light faded and the dust barrier dispersed, it was clear through the branches and leaves that the sky was already getting light, as if a night had passed.

Hanami's hand was still on his arm, pulling at his sleeve intentionally or unintentionally.

The sultry wind carries with it a scent of flowers, so light and refreshing that one can't help but be intoxicated by it.

For some reason, Ning Xiusu felt that this aura was quite similar to Hua Jianbai's.

Hua Jianbai looked at the sky, his gaze following the petals falling from the treetops, and he found something falling with a "click".

Only then did Ning Xiusu see Miao Wuxian. The thing seemed to be a little bigger than before. It jumped from outside the house to his front as if it had grown legs, and jumped in front of him very cleverly.

"Hey, you little thing, you know people?"

Hanamibai asked, wondering if he would die.

Miao Wuqiong trembled all over as if he understood what was said.

"I rely on."

Hanamibai looked at the fleshy mass:

"You're so weird, yet so cute, what's with that?"

As he spoke, Miao Wuqiong jumped into Ning Xiusu's hand, contracted vigorously, and then expanded.

The two of them saw that this fleshy ball had a small hole in the bulge, just like the eye of a pufferfish.

This is strange...

The next moment, something that looked like jade but was not jade came out from the tiny hole, like a bone talisman.

Ning Xiusu was stunned, and Hua Jianbai was also dumbfounded.

"What is this?"

Hua Jianbai picked it up and looked at it. He saw talismans engraved on it, but he really couldn't understand it.

Ning Xiusu couldn't help but say, "Strange, how could something stolen by a thief appear here at Miao Wuxian?"

Miao Wuqiong jumped down and jumped again outside the door of the dilapidated house, as if he wanted to say something.

Ning Xiu frowned, his heart moving: "Oh, could this be that corpse?"

He must have guessed right, as Miao Wuqiong jumped back into his hand with great effort.

"Oh my god, this weird thing can actually communicate. It's totally off the mark."

“It’s quite outrageous…”

Ning Xiu responded with a humour, thinking of the little beggar who stole that day. Could it be that this little ghost was the one he saw that day?

Hua Jianbai played with the talisman for a long time, but just thought it looked pretty.

Ning Xiusu saw this and said casually, "This thing is quite dangerous. If you like it, why not..."

"Tsk," Hanamibai immediately stuffed it into his hand, "You're quite calculating. You want me to help you get it? No way!"

He didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and spread out his palm.

"What are you doing?"

"I have nowhere to put it. Could you please lend me your sac?"

Hua Jianbai then took off the bag from her waist. It was embroidered with night-blooming jasmine and the velvety gold thread looked very beautiful.

The two of them then walked out of the flower forest. Ning Xiusu had been feeling a little tired, and when he saw a ray of dawn breaking through the clouds and mist, he suddenly felt dizzy for no reason.

He wanted to walk faster, but his legs suddenly went weak, which scared Hua Jianbai.

"Wow, you're not injured somewhere, are you?"

He steadied himself by holding onto a branch, and said lazily, "Ah, I'm just too hungry and overworked."

"If you fainted from hunger, just say so. Why are you still dragging me down with this..."

Hua Jianbai rolled his eyes when he heard this, but he was not worried at all.

But if we don’t go back to the posthouse, we will miss the caravan.

"My Lord Villain, it's already dawn, we need to hurry!"

Hua Jianbai was annoyed by his slowness, so he said something and grabbed him and ran towards the inn.

He didn't even touch the ground for an hour, and he didn't know how long he had been flying. Ning Xiusu arrived at the posthouse in a daze.

As the morning light began to shine, a thin mist lingered on the ancient road like a veil, and he ran into Meng Qilian head-on.

"Nian Zheng?"

Meng Qilian was wearing clothes of a dark color, which made her very eye-catching in the mist.

Ning Xiu was too excited to calm down, so he held onto the door frame of the inn and waved his hand.

When he saw Hua Jianbai, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Where have you been so early in the morning?"

"Nothing much, I just accidentally entered the Shangqing Sect's barrier."

Hanami was defeated by the sun and he stretched his body lazily and said:

"Those spiritual practitioners who exorcise demons don't even put up a plaque. Whoever goes in will be unlucky."

Unexpectedly, Meng Qilian was shocked and turned around: "Nian Zheng, how can you enter this dust barrier without permission? Don't you know that you..."

Ning Xiusu's spiritual vein was destroyed, and it was inevitable that he would be affected after entering this barrier against monsters.

But he never liked to cause people to worry, and said:

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

But Hua Jianbai wasn't quite sure, and asked in confusion: "Huh? Why can't I go in..."

Ning Xiusu changed the subject.

"If we go further south, we should reach Nanzhao soon. Lord Meng will investigate the case then. I need to get some good sleep for a few days."
