Zongman: My five senses are connected with the proud daughter of the world

The atmosphere between the Section Chief and Mr. Jiang is so natural, like an old married couple...

"Qiu, I want to eat honeydew melon."

"Are you so sure that I have it on me... well, I do, but you have it free now?"

"You eat it, and I'll feel it."

"...You'll get dizzy if you get this close."

"Then help me."

In front of everyone in the room, Xing Jianya directly placed her legs on the thighs of Jiang Lianqiu who was sitting next to her.

Yixuan, who was helping Yue Chengliu check the aftereffects of the ether erosion, asked: "?"

Dumbfounded Ju Fufu: "???"

Yue Chengliu, who had just straightened his glasses, said: "???"

Hoshimaya's legs are straight and slender, but because the girl herself has a small frame, even though her legs are not as plump as those of a mature lady like Yuecheng Liu, they feel soft and elastic.

The injuries on the skin are just shallow scrapes, and only require simple cleaning of the dirt.

Jiang Lianqiu's movements were very delicate, and he tried to use as little force as possible.

The little feet, only the size of a palm, were wrapped in black stockings and locked in high-heeled short boots for a long time. Now that they were freed, they couldn't help but stretch and curl up their ten silkworms to relax comfortably.

Jiang Lianqiu sighed inwardly: It turns out that everyone's physique is different. Miss Ya is dressed like this, fighting at this intensity, and running for a long time without any strange smell...

Although he actually knew this a long time ago.

After the injury on one leg was healed, Xing Jianya, who was happily eating the honeydew melon he gave her, offered her the other leg without waiting for Jiang Lianqiu to remind her.

This level of tacit understanding is definitely that of an old married couple!

The gossip spirits of the three people who were watching this scene silently immediately burned fiercely.

Ju Fu Fu even screamed like a groundhog in his heart... no, it was the roar of a tiger.

Yi Xuan calmed down and stopped looking at the two people who were in such a tacit understanding. Instead, he marveled at Yue Chengliu.

"It's incredible. According to your experience, after staying in that place for such a long time, you don't have any sequelae of ether erosion at all."

It was because of this concern that Yixuan invited the three people to Yunkui Mountain, but now he found that he seemed to have done something unnecessary.

If Xing Jianya could do this, she could barely understand it, after all, she was a virtual hunter.

But Yue Chengliu and Jiang Lianqiu made Yixuan a little concerned.

According to calculations, even if she stayed in that place for a long time, she would need half a day to recuperate.

"Master Yixuan, I have something I want to tell you."

Yixuan glanced at Yuechengliu, nodded, and told Ju Fufu to leave first.

After Ju Fufu closed the door and the sound of his footsteps faded away, Yue Chengliu warned, "Master Yixuan, please keep the fact that there are connecting passages between different caves to a secret to yourself for the time being."

"I know." Yixuan nodded. "This is a serious matter, and it's really not appropriate to make it known to everyone."

"However, Brother Jiang was able to lead you all the way from Hole Zero to the Lemnian Hole without relying on carrot data. His talent for perceiving etheric energy is truly astonishing..."

"Master Yixuan actually wants to ask why Miss Liu and I have no sequelae of erosion, right?"

Even Yixuan felt awkward when it was pointed out directly.

Jiang Lianqiu put Xing Jianya's legs down and looked up at Yixuan.

The room suddenly fell silent. Just when Yue Chengliu and Xing Jianya were confused, Yixuan's face suddenly changed.

The ink pot hanging on the back of his waist vibrated, and the ether ink in it flew out by itself, spreading a trail of ink in the air, and finally formed a black bird the size of a sparrow at Yu Jiang Lianqiu's fingertips.

"Bluebird? How could it be!"

That was the Qingming magic that she had spent countless efforts to develop!

"Just now I saw Master Yixuan showing off his skills in the cave. I took note of how you controlled the etheric energy and tried to imitate you. Is Master Yixuan impressive?"

Yixuan: “…”

The corners of her mouth twitched, and she looked at Jiang Lianqiu as if she were looking at a monster.

"Really? You learned it just by looking at it?"

"You don't understand the logic, you're just copying Fu Fu." Jiang Lianqiu put away the Qingming bird in his hand.

"That's a monster too... huh? Fufu?"

Yi Xuan opened his mouth slightly and looked at Jiang Lianqiu with amusement. Finally, he sighed and said, "No wonder. If this is all true, then with this kind of insight and control over etheric energy, he can force out the invading etheric energy through the simplest resonance."

"Qiu, very impressive."

Xing Jianya raised her head slightly, feeling an inexplicable sense of pride.

Yue Chengliu unconsciously touched the pair of big rabbits on his chest and felt warm in his heart.

Yixuan's eyes sparkled as if he had seen a treasure. He asked, "Since you have such a strong talent for control, do you want to learn the magic of my Yunkui Sect?"

"I didn't say I wanted to be your disciple."

"No need to become my disciple." Yi Xuan waved his hand. "These are just some techniques I've developed over the years to control etheric energy. Others might think they're some mysterious Taoist technique, but they're actually very scientific."

"The more people who master this method, the more confident the world will be in dealing with the void."

Anyone who could gain Xing Jianya's complete trust and walk with her in the cave must not be a treacherous person. Yixuan had no worries about teaching him all the tricks - what's more, she didn't have any so-called prejudice, and even hoped that more people would learn it. It was a pity that there were almost no people with this talent.

If more people had mastered these methods back then, Master and Sister would not have been forced to use the Qingming Sword.

Jiang Lianqiu thought about it and agreed.

If I can develop more powerful methods in the future, I can give them back to Yixuan as a reward.

"Okay, let's discuss it together."

"you……"

Yixuan burst out laughing. The words sounded as if he could surpass his master just by taking a few glances.

But secretly, Yixuan was also genuinely hopeful—perhaps someone with such incredible talent could actually create something significant based on her research?

Chapter 156: Yixuan: Why don’t you take the bait?

After a simple rest in Yunkui Mountain, Xing Jianya and Yue Chengliu thought about returning to HAND headquarters.

HAND's headquarters is located in the Thorne District, which forms a triangular structure with the Janus District and Weifei where Jiang Lianqiu is currently located.

The Janus District is an economically active area in New Eridu, but it is not the political center. Administrative agencies including the HAND headquarters and the Public Security Bureau headquarters are located in the Thorn District. There is no doubt that the Thorn District is the center of political power in New Eridu.

By the way, in terms of administrative divisions, Weifeidi also belongs to the Thorne District.

For various reasons, Jiang Lianqiu did not follow Xing Jianya and Yue Chengliu to leave Yunkui Mountain directly, but stayed there temporarily.

When it was evening and the sun was setting in the west, Jiang Lianqiu, who was sitting on the edge of a roof looking through Yixuan's manuscript, was suddenly patted on the back.

"Brother Jiang, it's time to eat! Junior Brother Pan has already prepared the meal!"

A cute orange cat... no, it's Hu Xiren's little head poked forward from the side of Jiang Lianqiu's shoulder.

Ju Fufu is a lively girl who loves to laugh, but at this moment she is puffing out her cheeks to express her dissatisfaction towards Jiang Lianqiu.

"I've called you several times already. Is Master's manuscript really that good?"

“I really learned a lot.”

He is just talented. Although he is not stupid, he is not smart enough to be able to draw inferences from similar cases and deduce various applications without any guidance when he comes into contact with new things.

As for Yixuan, she has been studying this matter for many years. With so much time, the knowledge she has mastered is enough for Jiang Lianqiu to learn for a while.

Jiang Lianqiu put the manuscript into the tactical space. This was not the first time Ju Fufu had seen something disappear out of thin air. He couldn't help but excitedly asked, "What kind of magic is this? Can you teach me?"

"The world is hidden in my sleeve. I can even hold you, Fu Fu, inside. Do you want to learn it?"

"Eh? Can I really?" The naive Ju Fu Fu believed it. "Then, then, then, do I have to call you, Brother Jiang, Master too?"

"Master, you don't need to call me that. As long as you agree to let me put you in my sleeve and take you home to pat you and feed you, that will be enough."

“W-what?!”

Finally realizing that he was being teased, Ju Fufu grinned, revealing a pair of cute pointed fangs.

"I'm a human! A human! Xiren is also a human! Not a pet!"

Jiang Lianqiu put his hand on Ju Fufu's head and rubbed it like a cat.

As expected, Ju Fu Fu switched to enjoyment mode in a second. His little mouth became three-lobed, his tail swept back and forth, and the fur on the tips of his ears stood up.

"And you still say it's not a cat?"

"Scratch you! That cat scratching post... Ugh! I scratched that weird piece of metal for ages but it didn't leave any marks. Brother Jiang, your face can't be that hard, can it?"

That's a piece of battleship armor, there's no way you can scratch it.

He pressed hard on Ju Fu Fu's head again, and Jiang Lianqiu then jumped off the roof and played with her and came into a room.

"Brother Jiang! Come and try the unique cooking skills of the Yunkuishan chef!"

As soon as he entered the door, Pan Yinhu, the panda Xiren, waved his chubby hand to greet Jiang Lianqiu.

Yixuan was already sitting in the main seat. Seeing Jiang Lianqiu and Ju Fufu walk in, he smiled and said, "Lianqiu, how is it going? Is there anything you don't understand?"

"I haven't finished watching it yet, but I basically understand what I've seen."

"You're speaking so arrogantly." Yi Xuan raised her right hand slightly and pointed her index finger at Jiang Lianqiu. This action caused the pair of big rabbits on her chest, which were no less big than Yue Chengliu's, to vibrate in a real physics engine.

"Then I'll test you after dinner. If you don't do it—just call me Master."

"What if it does?"

"Just make any request you want, and I'll agree to it if I can do it." Yixuan didn't care and made a promise directly.

"Including letting me see the Qingming Sword?"

blah-

The chopsticks Yixuan had just picked up fell onto the table.

She stared at Jiang Lianqiu seriously, and the oppressive pressure she exuded unintentionally made Pan Yinhu and Ju Fufu look at each other and wink at each other.

"How much... do you know?"

"For some reason, I do know the properties of the Qingming Sword, including its ability to grant powerful strength to a person, and the price the user must pay for it."

"Now that you know this, do you think I'll show you the Qingming Sword? It's very dangerous."

Yixuan's eyebrows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character.

But in the blink of an eye, she stretched out her head again and teased:

"However, as long as you, Lianqiu, promise not to use the Qingming Sword, call me Master, and become a disciple of Yunkui Mountain, then as a disciple of Yunkui Mountain, I can train you as the next Sect Master and let you observe the Qingming Sword in advance."

"Forget it then." Jiang Lianqiu refused decisively.

"Tsk! Why don't you take the bait..."

Yixuan was greatly disappointed.

It's so hard to meet such a talented person who can be called a monster. I really want him to join and strengthen the Yunkui Mountain!

"What a shame! I thought I'd have a chance to have Brother Jiang call me Senior Sister."

Seeing that the atmosphere had relaxed, Ju Fufu came over again and sat at the round table.

"Senior Sister, aren't you satisfied with having us, your junior brothers, calling you?"

Pan Yinhu scratched his head with a muffled voice.

Ju Fufu stuffed a meat bun into his mouth, swallowed it in two or three bites, patted his chest and drank a bowl of tea, then exhaled: "How can it be the same?"

"There are only a few of us who have entered the sect. The rest are registered disciples. They will practice at the mountain gate for a period of time and then leave."

"Among the new disciples, Junior Brother Pan, you are the only one of your age, and Junior Brother Ye is too old. I also want a younger Junior Brother who is pleasing to the eye!

This Yunkui Mountain is somewhat similar to the major Taoist sects in Jiang Lianqiu's memory of the 21st century - such as Wudang.

There are not many Taoist priests who are officially employed. Most of the people in the mountain gate sign up and pay money to learn skills to strengthen their bodies for a period of time, and then go down the mountain and return to the secular society to continue working as social animals.
