I couldn't refuse my arch-nemesis' courtship today.

"No," Xuan Ying blinked, "That's not what it means."

Shen Shimian didn't panic at all, his voice was extremely calm, "I really couldn't refuse."

Xuan Ying Xindao is asking you to try to reject me, why don't you just accept me?Do you remember what we were trying to prove?

He recalled it, and the small broken flying sword in his hand pressed against Shen Shimian's chest angrily, "Did you deliberately take advantage of me?"

Shen Shimian stared at his reddened ears who didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed, remembering the soft and warm touch, he could not help but twist his fingers, "No, brother, don't get me wrong, I tried to refuse, but my nature The heart doesn't want to refuse, it just follows the heart."

He frowned as he spoke, "But I can't tell whether it's because I don't want to refuse, or because the mandarin duck line is not allowed. Otherwise, senior brother will say it again, and this time I must remember to distinguish carefully."

Xuan Ying started to itch again. Since Shen Shimian lost his memory, he almost forgot how irritating this guy is, and said it again, do you really think he is stupid, he can be fooled twice in a row.

There was a glimmer of light in Shen Shimian's eyes, looking at Xuan Ying's face, he thought with some regret, it seems that he can't listen to it again, the stolen happiness won't last long after all.

Sure enough, Xuan Ying snorted, "I changed my mind, wait for me to catch two people to tie the mandarin duck line."

Shen Shimian didn't expect Xuan Ying to be able to get enlightened by this, and he accepted it when he tasted the sweetness. Hearing this, he just nodded his head, and he seemed to be very talkative, "Follow the brother's wishes."

He was so sensible and self-conscious that Xuan Ying stared at him suspiciously for a while, but he couldn't figure out any traps, so he could only temporarily relax.

Now that the atmosphere of silence has been broken, Xuan Ying can talk to him about the sword soul. When it comes to business, Xuan Ying looks a little more serious, "Remind you first, Sima Qingcang is a holy powerhouse, follow me There will be great danger, I will definitely get the sword soul fragments, but you don't have to take risks."

Shen Shimian said, "Brother knows my answer."

Xuan Ying was not surprised, but his face was a bit tangled, "I know you have amnesia now, and you think you like me, so follow me to take risks without hesitation. With your personality, even if you are not allowed to go, you will follow."

Shen Shimian watched him quietly, Xuan Ying saw his own reflection in his eyes, there was nothing else, it was all about him, his heart twitched slightly, but he still kept his mind and continued, "One day, If you restore your memory, you may regret your current choice."

"Is this the reason why senior brother made up a mandarin duck line to lie to me?" Shen Shimian interrupted him, "but since senior brother and I were once in conflict, why should you consider it for me?"

Xuan Ying was stunned for a moment, and Shen Shimian brushed off a fallen leaf quietly falling from his shoulder for him, with a bewitching meaning in his words, "This is a rare opportunity to instruct me with confidence, brother really want to give up?"

What he said was very reasonable, Xuan Ying forgot to refute that the mandarin duck thread was not made by him for a moment, and couldn't help but think about it for a while, also, he was anxious at the beginning, didn't he also think that using the mandarin duck thread can make Shen Shimian like this? , Do what you say, why do you always have your hands tied when it comes to your head.

This temptation is not so great. Xuan Ying was almost tempted, but only a little bit. He tried hard to erase this thought from his mind, turned his head and walked away, "I don't care about it, anyway, I reminded you."

Shen Shimian narrowed his eyes, and did not chase too closely. He is a very patient hunter. As long as Xuan Ying is not tempted by others, he can hold back and capture Xuan Ying little by little. .

------

The palace on the outskirts of Hotan Kingdom's capital belongs to the territory of the Hotan Kingdom's royal family, but now many monks gather here. After falling down in twos and threes, these monks entered the gate of the palace one by one with invitation letters.

Xuan Ying also got an invitation letter from He Changsheng. He Changsheng's friends seem to have some influence in Hotan Country. Qin Shanyue's family originally also had some status in Hotan Country. Sima Qingcang set his sights on it before exterminating the clan.

They changed their appearance a little, before entering, Xuan Ying asked Shen Shimian, "Did you bring any powerful life-saving things this time?"

Shen Shimian didn't say anything, just handed the mustard seed bag to Xuan Ying, "Brother, you can use it as you like."

The posture is like a husband obediently handing over his property, Xuan Ying shook his head to get rid of this unreliable association, and did not answer, "Since you can still use magic power, you can handle it yourself."

Shen Shimian thought of his empty mustard seed bag, frowned and said, "How about you, brother?"

Xuan Ying gripped the Xiaopo Feijian tightly, and smiled confidently, "I just need a sword." Even if it's just a bad street sword, he can exert great power.

Shen Shimian's eyes were dark, he loved Xuan Ying's current appearance so much, so if he didn't reach a desperate situation, he would never immobilize him with chains and artifacts like Demon Lord Li Xiao, and break his wings.

The two walked to the gate of the palace, and the mortal soldiers guarding them stopped them, "Please show the invitation card to the two immortal elders."

Xuan Ying seemed to pass the invitation casually, but in fact he was very nervous, ready to deal with possible changes at any time.

Fortunately, the guards checked the invitations and let them go, and a special maid led them to the seats arranged on the invitations.

Inside the palace is a luxurious garden. After walking for a while along the path in the garden, you will come to an open area. In the center is a pool with blue waves and slight ripples. , many tables and chairs were placed, some of which were already occupied, and some were still empty.

Xuan Ying looked at the people present calmly, seeing that they were all unfamiliar faces, so those people were naturally also observing him and Shen Shimian.

The maid who led the way for them brought them to a table marked with Jiaqi, and said respectfully, "Please take your seat."

After Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian sat down, they looked around. Since they were all monks, they could not release their spiritual senses to investigate. If others felt offended, it might cause unnecessary trouble, so they could only sit quietly and wait for the master to show up .

Soon the people holding the invitation cards arrived one after another, and Xuan Ying suddenly saw two flashing figures entering the place of Yi Liu, and couldn't help frowning.

Shen Shimian saw it the same way he did, but in view of his "amnesia" state, he could only pretend not to know and asked Xuan Ying, "What's wrong, brother?"

Xuan Ying stroked the hilt of the sword in his hand, "It's Hua Rongyue and Monkey. I once hired them to check the news of a demon cultivator."

Then briefly told Shen Shimian about the two casual cultivators, "Could it be that the female demon cultivator is here?" Otherwise, how could Hua Rongyue, who was following the female demon cultivator, appear in Hotan Kingdom.

Moxiu is also interested in sword soul fragments?

The stern look in Shen Shimian's eyes flashed away, the female demon cultivator was most likely to be Shen Qing's subordinate, Shen Qing was lingering and powerful, the old department left by Shen Shimian's father was not enough to compete.

Although Shen Shimian has also secretly strengthened his own strength in the past few years, it is still not as deep as the Shenqing tree, and it is backed by the chaotic land of Luochahai, surrounded by powerful people, so it can only temporarily stay in Xiushanyuan and Lingxiao Pavilion , unable to find the right time to take revenge for a long time.

Xuan Ying only pretended that he lost his memory and didn't know anything, thinking in his mind that since Hua Rongyue was in Hetian Kingdom, he could contact them to find out about the situation after they escaped from the palace.

After everyone arrived, a monk descended from the sky, landed in the small pavilion in the pool, and saluted the people present, "Thank you for coming here, everyone who needs to bid today should know it well, it is inconvenient to talk nonsense, bid Here it goes."

Xuan Ying raised his eyebrows. This cultivator probably has the level of entry into the country, and even a person presiding over the bidding has such a level of cultivation. No wonder there is a bit of arrogance in his words.

Someone uttered dissatisfiedly, "I can't even see a shadow of the thing you bid on, so how do you know it's not bluffing us?"

Others also chimed in.

The monk had an arrogant face, "The owner here is Sima Guoshi of Hetian Kingdom. As a national teacher, why do you need to lie to me?"

Hearing Sima Qingcang's name, the crowd became a little quieter, which shows that Sima Qingcang's reputation is great.

The presiding monk softened his tone again, "Whoever wins the bidding can meet with my master and personally verify the authenticity of the treasure."

"It's quite majestic," Xuan Ying muttered, "Sima Qingcang's plans are not small."

The base price of the bidding was [-] spiritual crystals, and those who were eligible to receive the invitation were quite wealthy. Xuan Ying weighed the weight of his mustard seed bag, and realized belatedly that he seemed...not so many spiritual crystals.

One spirit crystal is equivalent to ten spirit stones, starting with [-] spirit crystals, and I don't know how Hua Rongyue and the monkey got in here.

The spiritual coffin made of top-quality spirit crystals obtained in the small world is priceless, but the problem is that Xuan Ying chose to take the white beads, so that thing now belongs to Shen Shimian.

Xuan Ying: "..."

Suddenly realized that he was not much richer than Hua Rongyue and the others, or asked to borrow it from Shen Shimian and pay it back later?

When Xuan Ying was struggling, the bidding had already reached [-] spirit crystals, Shen Shimian glanced at his troubled face, and saw him holding the mustard bag again, thinking of the pitiful and empty situation inside when he checked the contents of the bag yesterday, he suddenly became confused However, his Ah Ying seemed to be in a bit of a tight spot unexpectedly.

It stands to reason that Xuan Ying's resources are no worse than Shen Shimian's, but Shen Shimian is a little puzzled, could it be that Xuan Ying is particularly prodigal?

Thinking of this, Shen Shimian silently estimated all his net worth, um, one top-quality spiritual coffin, several treasures and spirit stones, countless self-made spells, and the resources left by his father, maybe... maybe it can support him The cost of winning?

Shen Shimian frowned, wondering if this would make Ah Ying think about him more.

Xuan Ying only struggled for a while, then made up his mind, turned to Shen Shimian, and whispered, "Junior Brother Shen, lend me some spirit crystals."

Seemingly unaccustomed to this kind of borrowing behavior, Xuan Ying lowered his eyelashes in embarrassment while talking, Shen Shimian stared at his long eyelashes, his fingers were itchy, and he said "um" calmly, " Can."

Xuan Ying was shocked by his pleasure, and couldn't help asking, "What if I borrow a lot?"

Shen Shimian still nodded, "It's all right."

Xuan Ying opened his eyes slightly, Shen Shimian was the one who was taken advantage of, isn't he afraid that he won't pay back his debts?

At this time, someone suddenly shouted, "I will offer 20 spirit crystals."

Xuan Ying came back to his senses, and followed the bid, "25."

Shen Shimian silently began to count the spirit crystals.
