After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Shui Lian'er actually has good qualifications and talent, but she just doesn't like to focus on cultivation. Jiang Liqian wanted to persuade her, but when she saw Qin Beiyao carefully rubbing her wrist, she swallowed the words back.

Many people in the world have the same fate but different fortunes, or the same fortune but different fates. Some are rich, some are poor, some live in thorns, and some have a smooth life. Everyone has his or her own path, and she shouldn't force it.

She herself can't see the way forward, and is hanging on by a thread in a daze. She has no right to preach.

But every time Shui Lian'er came, she still taught her very seriously.

Sometimes she would be in a trance, as if she had returned to her previous life when she was teaching her fellow disciples.

She was the same at that time, meticulous and serious, correcting their movements over and over again and ignoring their wailing.

But when the cold wind blows in her face, she will wake up again.

It’s different in the past.

She is no longer the eldest senior sister of Qiankun Sect.

The past is like a dream, she should learn to let it go.

"Li Qian, Li Qian, look, did my sword move just now?" Shui Lian'er's excited voice interrupted Jiang Li Qian's trance. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the spirit sword lying flat on the ground was trembling, as if it could fly up at any time.

She nodded: "Not bad, there is progress."

Shui Lian'er patted her chest proudly and raised her eyebrows at Qin Beiyao beside her: "How about it, I'm not bad either, right?"

Qin Beiyao blushed and turned his head immediately, his eyes darting everywhere, and he uttered an almost inaudible "hmm".

Shui Lian'er heard it all so clearly and was so happy that she ran over and hugged Jiang Liqian's arm: "Liqian, if you teach me again, I will be able to fly on a sword by today."

Jiang Liqian looked at the setting sun and said, "It's getting late. You can continue practicing according to my instructions. I have to go back to the outer sect. Otherwise, if Elder Cao comes looking for me, it will be quite a headache."

Shui Lian'er looked disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her mood and volunteered to take her down Qiming Mountain.

Jiang Liqian sneaked out today without telling Cao Xian, and she couldn't tell anyone when she returned. She rejected Shui Lian'er's kindness and went down the mountain.

When she reached the outer gate, she put an invisibility talisman on her body, took out the half-shadow bead given by her senior brother and put it around her neck, then she found a less crowded path and walked towards Cao Xian's courtyard.

As she walked, she was thinking about how to teach Shui Lian'er so that she could learn to fly with a sword within tomorrow and avoid the punishment after the deadline the next day.

Unconsciously passing by a fragrant and charming flower garden, she stopped subconsciously, took a look at the gorgeous flowers, and was about to move forward.

Suddenly, a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling struck her heart, and she felt a sudden pain in her dantian.

Jiang Liqian clenched her teeth tightly to prevent herself from crying out in pain.

She barely suppressed the tearing force in her body, and relying on her intuition and perception, she walked carefully in one direction.

The closer she got, the more uncomfortable she felt, and a chill ran through her body.

Carefully brushing away the flowers that blocked her view, she bent down and, through the uneven fences, finally saw the source of the chill and discomfort that made her feel.

A square courtyard with white walls and green tiles.

It looked ordinary, no different from the courtyards of ordinary people in the city at the foot of the mountain, but Jiang Liqian opened her eyes wide.

The reason is simple, because in Qiankun Sect, there will be no houses with white walls and green tiles.

A huge doubt and ominous premonition enveloped her whole body. Jiang Liqian grasped the half-shadow bead hanging around her neck, and attached two high-level invisibility talismans to her body, then tiptoed closer to the courtyard.

A flash of purple lightning passed through her eyes. Jiang Liqian looked towards the courtyard again and actually saw a faint wisp of black mist.

A gloomy, bloody and chilling smell hits you in the face.

Jiang Liqian was horrified.

If she hadn't figured out what this vaguely familiar feeling was just now, she remembered it now.

It's demonic energy.

It was exactly the same evil aura as that shattered stone on the arena.

After reaching this conclusion, she knew that she could not handle this matter with her current level of cultivation, so she quickly took out the jade token and sent a message to her master and third senior sister.

At this moment, she regretted very much why she didn't add a few more peak masters' spiritual breath, so that there would not be no one to find her now.

She didn't dare use her spiritual power to summon the spirit pigeon, for fear of alarming the people in the courtyard.

After thinking it over, she suppressed the idea of ​​passing the message to Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao, and quietly moved forward until she reached the bottom of the courtyard wall.

Jiang Liqian was really sweating profusely now.

There seemed to be two forces pulling at her dantian, and the closer she got to the courtyard, the harder the pulling became, and a strange and cold air kept drilling into her pores.

She used a lot of strength to stabilize her body, endured the waves of pain, and put a small beetle into the crack of the door.

This beetle is the creation of the eldest brother. It looks exactly like a real beetle, but the inside is hollowed out and filled with a small formation.

It is not aggressive, but it can sneak into other people's territory silently through the camouflage of the beetle, and rely on the beetle's two eyes to explore the situation inside.

Jiang Liqian took out another small spiritual crystal, which was projecting the scenes of wherever the beetle passed.

It's curiosity and also doubt.

During the quiz, she was nearly killed by the magic stone. Although she knew that Cao Xian was involved, she had checked Cao Xian's yard from top to bottom during the days she lived there, and found nothing strange.

For a moment, she thought she might have guessed wrong. After all, Cao Xian didn't look like someone who could possess a magic stone.

She didn't expect that she would encounter a courtyard related to magic stones today.

She wanted to see what was hidden in this courtyard that could be hidden in the outer gate of Qiankun Sect without being discovered.

If someone could really hide such a large courtyard in the Qiankun Sect without making any noise, wouldn't the Qiankun Sect be wide open and vulnerable to being bullied?

The more I think about it, the more worried I become.

Jiang Liqian stared at the picture in the spiritual crystal, not daring to miss a second.

So far, everything is normal. The furnishings inside and the beautiful scenery of the bridge are no different from those of a normal courtyard.

The beetle continued to crawl inside, passing through the path, through the corridor, and reached the back of the courtyard.

There were many side rooms and courtyards inside, but no one was living there. Withered yellow leaves were blown all over the yard, and the withered lotus leaves in the pond piled up and smelled bad, obviously no one had cleaned it.

The further back you go, the more desolate and empty the feeling becomes. There's not even a dust removal formation to clear the dust that's blowing towards you.

This courtyard looks weird no matter how you look at it. It doesn't look like a place for people to live in.
