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

After all, in Jiang Lian's eyes, Xuan Ying was a single monk who was not enlightened a few months ago, and he didn't even show any sign when he sent her back to Xuanjiang Gate, so why did he want to form a bond?

In the case of unequal information, the only person Jiang Lian could think of was Chen Qingquan, whom Xuan Qingzi had appointed as a verbal marriage contract, but she knew that Xuan Ying and Chen Qingquan had never met twice, so where did the relationship come from?

Worried eyes wandered between Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian. Shen Shimian had expressed his determination to her before and asked her to help. In the blink of an eye, Ah Ying wanted to form a bond with others quickly. Will Shen Shimian...

Before she could express her worry, Xuan Ying already understood that she had misunderstood, and the eagerness of being misunderstood suddenly dispelled his awkwardness, and he blurted out the words of defense, "It is a contract with Junior Brother Shen."

Jiang Lian was even more surprised. She subconsciously glanced at Shen Shimian, who was calm and composed, and got a shallow smile from Shen Shimian, "You will also be my mother from now on."

Xuan Ying can't wait to cover his mouth, can you be so direct?

Ban Ban nestled in Jiang Lian's arms, her eyes wide open curiously, looking at this and that, ignorant of her fate of having multiple fathers.

Jiang Lian felt dizzy, as if falling into a dream, "Really?"

Xuan Ying hung his head uncomfortably to see if there were ants crawling over the table, and said in a very low voice, "It's true."

Jiang Lian finally let go of the big stone in her heart. Compared with Chen Qingquan who is married, she naturally hopes that someone who really likes Xuan Ying can accompany him. She can't practice by herself. After a hundred years of her life, someone will always be by Xuan Ying's side.

She could feel Shen Shimian's feelings for Xuan Ying. The two grew up as childhood sweethearts, and Xuan Ying praised him a lot in the letter. In Jiang Lian's opinion, this was really the best result.

So until Xuan Ying left the next day, Jiang Lian was in a good mood. Unlike the sadness of sending Xuan Ying back to Xiushanyuan before, this time he was full of anticipation. can come back.

He Changsheng's nuclear boat stopped outside the mountain gate, and Liang Fu and Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian went back to Xiushan Courtyard together. What made Xuan Ying uneasy was that Xuan Zhen didn't show up, and only said that he would go back alone in a few days, which made Xuan Ying feel uneasy. Some of them muttered, feeling faintly uneasy.

Fortunately, without Xuan Zhen's eyeliner, Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian don't need to worry about each other all the time, and feel a lot more at ease, so Liang Fu is indirectly forced to swallow a lot of spiritual food that he didn't really want.

Qin Shan's revenge was avenged, and his whereabouts in the future have been settled, but he has become much more peaceful. After the ups and downs, he felt relieved to want to escape into Buddhism. Xuanying is not used to it.

On the way back to Longshou Mountain, He Changsheng didn't "get" any news about other incidents. They went back to Xiushan Temple without any problems. Qi and He Changsheng exchanged nuclear boats.

Xuan Ying wondered, "The nuclear boat is just more comfortable, but with your and my cultivation, you don't really need it, right?"

Shen Shimian didn't hide it from him, "The material used for this nuclear boat is peach pits, and the peach pits that should be the top-level spiritual wood peach trees are very rare nowadays."

Peach wood has been used to ward off evil spirits since ancient times. Xuan Ying thought of the evil spirit in Shen Yun's body, and he could probably guess Shen Shimian's purpose, including the formation that was engraved on the nuclear boat before, probably also for Shen Yun.

Xuan Ying opened his mouth, wanting to ask about Shen Yun, but felt that there was nothing he could do for a while, so he held back not to poke Shen Shimian's sore spot.

When parting from He Changsheng and Qin Shanyue in front of He Changsheng's dilapidated store in the small town at the foot of Longshou Mountain, Xuan Ying continued to observe He Changsheng's words and deeds, but He Changsheng never mentioned the date of birth again, as if asking for it at that time was indeed Simply to solve the crisis.

Xuan Ying is now in a head-to-head lawsuit, and he doesn't want to startle the snake, so he didn't mention it.

Less than two months later, they returned to Xiushanyuan again, but this time the feeling was completely different from before.

When they left, Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian were still cooperating partners who were forced to bind by a mandarin duck thread, but when they came back, they became serious love partners.

A little embarrassed, mixed with expectations, too complicated.

After entering the Xiushan Courtyard, everyone first handed in the task of finding the Star Grass on the bright side. The person who issued the task was anonymous, so they had to go back and wait after handing in the task. The rewards will be distributed by the Experience Pavilion.

After handing in the task, Liang Fu had already notified the teachers and sisters who were familiar with him, and hurriedly slipped away, while Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian walked slowly in the Xiushan courtyard.

It is also strange to say that they grew up in Xiushan College, but they have never wandered around in such a calm manner. Shen Shimian remembered the way Xuan Ying introduced Chen Qingquan to others before, and insisted on walking.

The atmosphere in Xiushan Courtyard seemed a little tense, Xuan Ying tilted his head and thought about it, and muttered, "It seems that we are coming to Xiushan Courtyard competition soon."

No wonder there were no people along the way, and Xuan Ying also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he was seen by acquaintances, he really didn't know how to explain it. The harmonious appearance of him and Shen Shimian walking together would probably scare a lot of people to death.

The world is impermanent. Before going out, I still thought about participating in it, but after going out, I will graduate. Naturally, this competition has nothing to do with them.

Shen Shimian was noncommittal, but stubbornly grabbed Xuan Ying's hand and walked side by side with him. Perhaps it was an arrangement of fate. When they reached a familiar place, a man in a pink skirt came across the corner. The female cultivator turned out to be Chen Qingquan.

Xuan Ying secretly groaned in his heart, the first time he took Chen Qingquan to visit Xiushanyuan, it was here that he met Shen Shimian, and when he came back here with Shen Shimian, he met Chen Qingquan again.

What kind of evil fate is this, Shen Shimian's hand holding him has become much stronger, and Xuan Ying knows that the other party cares about this matter without turning around.

At that time, Chen Qingquan's marriage contract with him was tacit, but now he has decided to form a contract with Shen Shimian.

Xuan Ying didn't show how upset his heart was. Chen Qingquan was quite surprised to see the two of them, "Are you back?"

Looking at Chen Qingquan's face, it was obvious that the time was not going very well, presumably he failed to find an effective solution, but Xuan Ying found it instead, so he was not so awkward facing Chen Qingquan, and responded with a smile, "Hello, Miss Chen. "

Chen Qingquan snorted through his delicate nose, and pretended not to care, he glanced at Shen Shimian and Xuan Ying's hand, his eyes lit up, it was rare to see Xuan Ying pleasing to the eye, and tentatively asked, "Are you together?"

Facing this woman who almost entered into a marriage contract with Xuan Ying, Shen Shimian looked indifferent, still with the deserted appearance that others were familiar with, and replied calmly, "Miss Lao Chen is worried."

This is the default meaning.

Xuan Ying secretly thought that he was childish, but he felt sweet in his heart about Shen Shimian's childish act of swearing sovereignty. He knew that he really fell on Shen Shimian.

Chen Qingquan was relieved, for the first time a smile appeared on Xuan Ying's haggard face, "Then congratulations to the two senior brothers."

After speaking, the pink skirt fluttered, and in the blink of an eye, she stepped on the flying sword and flew away. The anxious look didn't know who to look for.

Xuan Ying was stunned, he had already been pulled away by Shen Shimian, and turned into a secluded place in the dense forest by the roadside.

Shen Shimian was breathing heavily, "Ah Ying blames me?"

Xuan Ying was inexplicable, "What?" He didn't like Chen Qingquan in the first place, and Chen Qingquan didn't like him either, so what the other party thought didn't matter at all, it was enough for them to agree, how could it be possible to blame Shen Shimian for Chen Qingquan.

Shen Shimian's cold eyes softened instantly, he pressed Xuan Ying on the trunk of the towering giant tree and hugged his waist, rubbed his chin against his shoulder and whispered, "Does A Ying like me the most?"

After Xuan Ying realized what Shen Shimian cared about, he pursed his lips and smiled, and whispered in Shen Shimian's ear, "You jealous."

Although he and Shen Shimian are in love now, there are some bad habits in his bones that cannot be changed for a while, and Shen Shimian must be teased to be happy.

Shen Shimian squinted at an angle that Xuan Ying could not see, and was about to show Xuan Ying the power of the vinegar jar, when he heard the sound of leaves being crushed, and hurriedly approached.

Xuan Ying saw that Shen Shimian reacted quickly and cast a barrier, heaved a sigh of relief and turned his head to see who it was.

It turned out to be two unknown children, about thirteen or fourteen years old, very unfamiliar, at least Xuan Ying, the little tyrant of Xiushan Academy, had never seen it before, and they must have been new disciples with Chen Qingquan two months ago.

I don't know if the two kids came here to be lazy, but this place is indeed secluded, it is a treasured place of geomantic omen, and Shen Shimian is quite good at picking places.

Xuan Ying put his arms around Shen Shimian without any hesitation, put his weight on the body of his future Taoist companion, and went to see the two children for fun.

The two kids have superficial cultivation, how could they know that there are two senior brothers here, sitting together on the ground opposite Xuan Ying and the others, took an ordinary spirit sword and started digging, chatting while digging, "Is it okay for us to run here?"

The other child said without raising his head, "It's okay, Elder Tantai didn't come to watch us sort out the medicinal materials today. The elders must be busy with the big competition at Xiushan Academy so they won't find out."

The child who spoke first heard the words with some yearning, "We don't know when we will be eligible to participate in the legendary competition."

"In two years, I heard that after two years of entry, you will be eligible for registration. Do you know that there are two senior brothers named Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian in Xiushan Academy?"

Why is it still their business? Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian met eyes and moved away tacitly, listening to what the two children had to say.

The first child was obviously not well-informed, and asked blankly, "Who is that?"

The second child was quite proud, "They are the two top senior brothers in Xiushan Academy. I heard that they were already famous in Xiushan Academy when they were about the same age as us. They came from a famous family and practiced very fast. Next month In the big competition, these two senior brothers are appointed to compete for the top spot."

The first child was stunned when he heard that, "Then aren't they opponents?"

The kid who looked like a know-it-all grinned, "Not only are they opponents, the relationship between the two of them is terrible, and they belong to Lingxiaoge and Xuanjiangmen respectively. We can also go to watch the competition during the competition. It must be a good show."

The stunned child nodded blankly, "The battle between the two brothers must be very exciting, we must observe and study carefully."

Wan Shitong rolled his eyes, "Wu Mu, I didn't ask you to watch the battle. I heard that these two senior brothers would always make big troubles in the big competitions in the past. This time I can finally catch up and watch it myself."

Xuan Ying suddenly felt a little stressed.
