Si Lei Zhenjun

Chapter 209 It Still Has to Be You

The next day.

Piaomiao Peak, in a small courtyard.

The early morning sunlight shines through the window onto a square table covered with densely packed white jade mahjong tiles.

Qi Shunan stood up and looked at Zheng Han, You Chong, and Ge Ling in front of her. She said happily and proudly:

"Please take the time to practice more. You are so vulnerable right now. I will come again when I have time."

After saying that, she turned around gracefully, put her hands behind her back and walked towards the door leisurely.

The three of them watched her leave with pale faces, then slumped in their chairs as if relieved.

God knows what they went through that night.

Last night, the beautiful woman who claimed to be the master of Piaomiao Peak came to them and said that she wanted to test them for a period of time before deciding whether to accept them as disciples.

Then the other party took out a deck of mahjong tiles and started teaching them how to play mahjong

At first, the three of them were a little panicked, but after playing two rounds and seeing her card skills, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it turned out that they were too happy too early.

The opponent not only has poor card skills, but also worse card character.

"It's too torturous. I should have chosen Xuanjian Cliff earlier." Zheng Han sighed.

"It's all You Chong's fault. He made the decision without even consulting us." Ge Ling complained.

"No, there were outsiders present at the time. How could I discuss it with you?" You Chong retorted.

"Well, now that we're here, complaining is useless. Let's think about what to do now." Zheng Han continued, "We don't have any cultivation skills at the moment. Let alone investigating the situation within the Yunxiao Sect, even getting down from the hundreds of feet high Piaomiao Peak is a problem.

The bag that the Ghost Guardian prepared for us before we came here contained many spirit stones, elixirs to aid in cultivation, and natural treasures, but no righteous cultivation techniques.

Ge Ling rolled his eyes and said:

"Come to think of it, it's all his fault. That senior sister said we'd be left alone after we arrived, and now they won't even teach us the techniques. You're dumbfounded, aren't you?"

You Chong snorted coldly:

"People say big breasts mean no brains, but I think you have neither!"

"Since we arrived at Misty Peak, except for our cheap master coming to visit us last night, no one has bothered us, right?"

"And this cheap master doesn't seem to have any scheming intentions at first glance. She's always happy, and it's not an exaggeration to say she's a bit foolish. We don't have to worry about our identities being exposed in front of her."

"As for the cultivation method issue, that's even easier to resolve. It's impossible for a Yunxiao Sect as large as this one to not even have a place for disciples to learn cultivation methods and spells, right? I really don't know what you have to complain about."

"Stop being so stubborn. We can't even get down from Piaomiao Peak. So what if we have it?" Ge Ling frowned and glared.

"Idiot, if we can't go, can't you find someone to take us there?" You Chong raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm.

"Humph, they're too lazy to even teach us, so how could anyone be willing to take us there?"

"Haha, with your IQ, you can't find anyone."

Bang, bang... Zheng Han slammed the table a few times to stop the quarrel between the two.

He rubbed his forehead and said:

"Alright, everyone has been tortured by that woman all night. Let's go back and catch up on some sleep. We can discuss this matter after we wake up."

"Hmph!" Ge Ling glared at You Chong, then stomped out of the house.

You Chong was about to leave, but Zheng Han stopped him:

"Wait a minute, You Chong, you just said you could find someone to help lead us down the mountain. You should have someone in mind, right?"

You Chong nodded, pondered for a moment, and said:

"These past few days I've often seen two little girls being carried by a strange beast flying over Misty Peak. These little girls are easy to trick. We can try to ask them for help."

"Good attention!" Zheng Han's eyes lit up and he praised, "When it comes to brains, you're the best!"

……

At the same time, inside the inn.

As soon as Chu Xing walked out of the room, he saw his good brother leaning on the railing in the corridor at a 45-degree angle, looking up at the roof with a deep and melancholy look in his eyes.

He walked forward and patted the other person's shoulder, "What are you looking at?"

Without even turning his head, Wang Sanyuan said calmly, "Look at the beauty, on the lower left, wearing a pink and white skirt."

I was wondering why you were posing so early in the morning. Turns out you were trying to attract girls' attention... Chu Xing was too tired to complain.

But good brothers are really good at getting along, and if there are beautiful girls looking at him, he will really share them with you.

Chu Xing lowered his head and glanced at the tables of guests dining on the left side of the first-floor hall. He soon found the beauty his good brother had mentioned in the corner.

She was about twenty years old, with a pretty face, picturesque features, and skin as white as cream. There was a faint flame mark between her eyebrows.

Next to him sat a young man in brocade clothes with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and handsome features.

Aren’t these Ji Yunhao and Ji Yunyao, brother and sister?

The two of them were not wearing the standard robes of Xuanhuo Sect, so Chu Xing did not recognize them at first glance.

"Don't look at it anymore," he said, pulling Wang Sanyuan to the side of the corridor. "If you look any further, something bad will happen."

"Ah?" Wang Sanyuan was confused.

"I know those two people, they are from Xuanhuo Sect." Chu Xing explained.

"Um... do you have a grudge against them?"

"There are some, but it's mainly because their Xuanhuo Sect and our Yunxiao Sect don't get along. They're the type that'll fight whenever they meet. So to avoid unnecessary trouble, it's better for us to stay away from them."

"There's such a thing?" Wang Sanyuan said with regret, "I was planning to have a wonderful encounter with her."

You are married and still having a chance encounter, you scumbag... Chu Xing showed contempt.

Wang Sanyuan sighed for a moment, then smiled again. "Yesterday, when my colleagues and I were resting in a teahouse, we kept hearing people say that someone had found some treasure in that huge tomb outside the city. Why don't we go take a look today?"

"How can we have time to go when we have to be on duty during the day?"

"Hey, yesterday I gave a few small gifts to two of my colleagues who were patrolling the streets with me. We're on good terms now, so it's no problem for me to skip a day or two. They won't tell on me. It's up to you."

Chu Xing was silent for a moment, then asked in confusion:

"...But you have everything you need, so what's the point of exploring tombs?"

Although Tang Meng and Shen Pianran wouldn't say anything if he skipped work for a few days, he really didn't want to go.

"Look at what you're saying," Wang Sanyuan glanced at him, "Of course I don't lack ordinary things, but some incredible opportunities can't be bought with spirit stones."

"Also, my family seems to have been in a financial crisis recently. The amount of spirit stones sent to me in the past two months has been much less than before."

"I think it's time to be self-reliant and work hard."

There is no financial crisis, it’s just that your father lost several million spirit stones playing mahjong a while ago... Chu Xing complained.

He curled his lips and said:

"The great tomb is extremely dangerous. With our weak cultivation, I'm afraid we won't even be able to protect ourselves. Have you considered this?"

"Danger and opportunity go hand in hand. If we don't take risks, how can we know that you and I are not the legendary children of destiny?"

As he spoke, Wang Sanyuan took out two talismans and said with a smile:

"Besides, I'm not unprepared. Look, these are two Thousand Miles Teleportation Talismans. If we encounter danger, we can immediately withdraw."

I think you've read too many storybooks, and you're still calling me Destiny's Child?!

Chu Xing was too weak to complain. Looking at the talisman in the other person's hand, he couldn't help but recall a painful experience:

"No matter what you say, I won't go with you. Just forget it. It's getting late, and I have something to do at the Immortal Patrol. If I'm any later, I'll be late for duty, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he walked towards the stairs.

"Oh, no!" Wang Sanyuan hurriedly caught up and started to pester him.
