[Fellow of the Patriarch of Demonic Dao]

Flowers are flying everywhere in Spring City.

The spring sun makes people drowsy, wearing a pink and purple gauze dress specially made by her own sister, Jiang Yanxue who came to Yunshen to practice alchemy, but her face is full of energy, with a cloth bag in her hand, hurrying He rushed into the cold room to look for Lan Huan.

"Lan Xichen, Lan Xichen, look what I brought?" Jiang Yanxue went straight to the study, put the cloth bag in her hand on the coffee table in the study, and began to untie the cloth bag with excitement. knot.

After hearing his voice, Lan Huan lightly put down the pen in his hand, got up and left the desk, walked to Jiang Yanxue and sat down. "Don't worry, what did you bring?"

"It's Yuzhenzhai's sweet shortbread. It's rare that we can still get it today. It's a blessing." Jiang Yanxue said with a smile.He arranged the food boxes, and added a cup of tea for himself and Lan Huan. After finishing these actions, he began to enjoy his snacks.

"Do you like the dim sum here?" Lan Huan asked.

"It's delicious, but it's a pity that it's limited daily, and you may not be able to eat it anytime you want. When I came to Yunshen, I just bought it at the foot of the mountain when I came to Yunshen." Jiang Yanxue finished eating one. After that, he said with satisfaction.

"If you want to eat next time when you come, please mention it when you hand over the greeting card, and you won't have to queue up at the bottom of the mountain when you go to Yunshen in the future." Lan Huan said warmly.

Jiang Yanxue stuffed another shortbread into her mouth, waved her hand, and said indifferently: "No, it's not a troublesome thing, I don't need your help, I just want to eat it occasionally, I can buy it by myself." good."

"Okay, if there is a need, just say it." Lan Huan didn't force it.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Jiang Yanxue asked him back

Lan Huan shook his head, "I need something light recently."

"Is your family's food not light enough?" Jiang Yanxue rolled her eyes after hearing this, and continued to eat shortbread.

Lan Huan just chuckled and didn't answer.

Jiang Yanxue rolled her almond eyes and asked, "Why are you acting weird? Did something happen these few days?"

"nothing."

Jiang Yanxue raised her eyebrows, the expression on her face showed disbelief: "You want to lie to me? Do you think that if I don't come to Yunshen I don't know, I won't get any information? You look down on me so much."

"I don't dare to underestimate you, but it's really nothing serious." Lan Huan said as he lifted the teapot and filled another cup of tea for him.

Jiang Yanxue said: "It's nothing, why don't you even eat some sweets?"

Seeing that he was unwilling to give up, Lan Huan said directly: "A few days ago when I went hunting at night, I was injured a little bit, and I still need to rest for a while."

"Alas?" Jiang Yanxue paused for a while, and after a surprised sound, she opened her mouth and continued eating. "Someone can hurt you, what kind of skill does it take to do that?"

Lan Huan thought for a while, "The skill should be pretty deep."

"Who, who is it?" Jiang Yanxue was aroused by his words.

Lan Huan said seemingly unintentionally: "When you are in Lianhuawu, do you and Sect Master Jiang not often communicate?"

Jiang Yanxue shook her head: "It's quite common to communicate, but Brother Cheng is a typical person who announces good news but not bad ones. He never mentions things that would worry people close to him, especially for Sister Li."

Lan Huan nodded, seeming to agree with Jiang Yanxue's remarks: "It sounds like Sect Master Jiang really loves his family very much."

"What? When did you and Brother Cheng become friends?" Jiang Yanxue couldn't help but doubt when she saw his expression of deep approval.

"It's not considered friendship. It's just that I met Sect Master Jiang during the night hunting a few days ago, and I feel that Sect Master Jiang is indeed as affectionate as you said." Lan Huan said sincerely from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Yanxue: "..."

He hesitated for a while before answering: "What happened to you that made you have such a profound understanding?"

"It's nothing." Lan Huan briefly explained what happened after meeting Jiang Cheng a few days ago, but did not mention what happened in the cave.

"So you were injured?" Jiang Yanxue was surprised.

Lan Huan said: "It's just a little internal injury, it will be fine after a few days of cultivation."

"Oh, that's good, let's talk about it earlier. Next time, remember to tell such an important conclusion earlier. Who are you trying to scare to death?" Jiang Yanxue complained.

"Sorry, next time I will talk about it earlier." Lan Huan said with a smile.

After a pause, Lan Huan asked again: "Is Sect Master Jiang in Lianhuawu now? I think I should visit him and thank him for taking care of me recently."

Jiang Yanxue just gave him a blank look: "Don't think about it, he ran out of the house again, even if you hand in the post, you can only see the manager of the Jiang family, save yourself the trouble."

"Sect Master Jiang went out again?" Lan Huan was surprised.

"What's so surprising, in Yunmeng, who doesn't know that Sect Master Jiang is a typical impatient personality, isn't it normal to often run away without seeing people?" Jiang Yanxue shrugged very calmly and said.

"Sect Master Jiang...does it all by himself?" Lan Huan was really surprised.

"I thought you all knew, it seems that he has failed too much in being a human being among the immortals. There is no way, who let Brother Cheng have such a cocky personality, even if he understands that he will be exhausted sooner or later, he still can't let go of letting his disciples go out alone at night hunting." Jiang Yanxue unceremoniously insulted other families, and also laughed at herself.

"That's not what I mean, I just think that Sect Master Jiang must have spent a lot of effort in managing the Jiang Clan, and even hunted around at night to maintain the safety of the territory. I am surprised by his intention." Lan Huan quickly explained, and then continued. : "Are you also following in the footsteps of Sect Master Jiang? When you are not practicing alchemy in Yunshen, are you busy hunting outside?"

"Me?" Jiang Yanxue looked at Lan Huan with a blank face, wondering why the topic jumped to him, and after thinking about it, she replied: "Most of the time is still dealing with Yunmeng's business, only more difficult to solve. I will deal with the things that are not in a hurry, and I usually let Brother Cheng come back to deal with them."

"That's good. It's better for girls to stay away alone, which can avoid a lot of trouble. If you have any difficult things to deal with, you can ask someone to write to me, and I can help you... Uh, I definitely don't doubt your ability." Blue Seeing Jiang Yanxue staring at him, Huan hurriedly made amends.

"Don't like to preach like Brother Cheng." Jiang Yanxue frowned.

"He loves you." Lan Huan couldn't help replying after holding back for a long time.

"Of course I know." Jiang Yanxue didn't react too much, just nodded and said calmly. "What's more, my strength is not weak, it's just that Brother Cheng is overprotective."

"Speaking of this, I am a little puzzled, may I ask for advice?" Lan Huan asked.

Jiang Yanxue: "What puzzles you?"

Lan Huan said: "Why don't you follow the Jiang family's way of training?"

Jiang Yanxue didn't seem to be surprised that Lan Huan would ask such a question, but she still thought about it before saying, "I was already 12 years old when I met Brother Cheng, and in terms of my cultivation foundation, I have already missed the best training Even if I spend more time, I may not be able to cultivate the golden elixir. Brother Cheng thinks that girls should not practice too hard, and he does not want me to feel frustrated that no matter how long I practice, I will not be able to reach the golden elixir stage. , so he found a set of techniques for me to learn."

Lan Huan asked again: "Where did Sect Master Jiang get the set of techniques you have learned?"

Jiang Yanxue thought for a little longer this time, but she finally let go: "He said that on the way of the Wen family's journey, he saved a person, and this person had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he brought important secrets of their sect with him. Escape, you have also experienced that period, you should be very clear about the Central Plains, so I won’t go into details. When Brother Cheng met this person, he was seriously injured and unable to recover. Before he died, he gave the secret book to Brother Cheng, I hope Brother Cheng can help if there is a chance, I hope the sect can be passed on. He looked through it and thought he could try it, so he let me try it."

"If it's suitable for practice, why doesn't Sect Master Jiang practice it himself?" Lan Huan was puzzled.

"The mentality of this sect is different from that of ordinary aristocratic families. As long as one's own natural spiritual power is abundant, it can exert its effect through the blessing of spells or magic tools. This mentality does not rely on its own powerful spiritual power. To drive, but to operate through the aura of all things in the world. Aura does not have to be nature, but it can also be the spiritual power of a powerful magic weapon, so this sect is also very good at alchemy. People like me who don’t have golden core People who are born with spiritual power are more suitable to practice this kind of mind method, and the effect of practice is also stronger, this principle is probably the same as the ghost way practiced by Wei Ying." Jiang Yanxue explained.

After beating around the bush for a long time, and finally knowing that he is not taking the wrong side of the sword, but walking on Wei Ying's old path, Lan Huan is relieved. "So that's the case, Sect Master Jiang really took great care of you."

"That's natural, brother Cheng is kind by nature." Jiang Yanxue received Lan Huan's compliment with peace of mind, and she didn't forget to praise herself by the way.

Lan Huan did not refute, but continued to follow his words: "It is true, the powerful and kind-hearted Sect Master Jiang, who has never been in close contact with him, will definitely not be able to discover his goodness."

Lan Huan's words were obviously normal, but Jiang Yanxue blushed for some reason, "...it's not as good as you said." And there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

That feeling seems to be called—heartbeat.
