Chapter 159

????????? 求鲜花??????????

Lan Fengxiao smiled and said, "What nonsense does the Holy Maiden speak? Even if I hadn't come out with you, could I have snatched the Two Divine Arts of Wuliang Mountain?"

"Holy Maiden, do not forget, the Flower-Shifting Palace is also in Yunzhou, only a few days' journey from Wuliang Mountain. I cannot compete with those two Palace Mistresses."

"Besides, we are waiting here for the rabbit to come to the stump. When we meet Young Master Jiang, I will ask him. If he is in a good mood, perhaps he will pass the Divine Art to me."

"In this way, I can still remain forever young."

Ren Yingying looked at her and said, "It seems you are determined to follow him?"

Lan Fengxiao chuckled, "I am just an ordinary woman. To attach myself to such a high expert is exactly what I desire. What about you, Holy Maiden?"

Ren Yingying shook her head and said, "You still have room to choose, but I do not."

Lan Fengxiao was stunned, then understood.

Ren Yingying wanted to know Ren Woxing's whereabouts, so she had to appear before Jiang Sishui.

Then Jin Lingzhi might be her warning example.

But to save her father who had suffered for many years, Ren Yingying was obviously willing to make certain sacrifices.

Of course, there must also be a reason why Ren Yingying did not dislike Jiang Sishui; otherwise, her determination would not have been made so quickly.

Ren Yingying suddenly said, "Since you have decided to follow him, before that, you must still do one thing."

Lan Fengxiao was stunned: "What is it?"

"Abandon the Poison Art of your Wu Du Sect!" Ren Yingying teased, "Unless you still want to talk of love and romance with him while carrying a body full of poisonous creatures?"

Lan Fengxiao: "..."

Jinzhou, Mount Hengshan.

Yilin tapped the wooden fish and recited scriptures devoutly.

Suddenly, she felt something in her heart and knew the diary content had been updated again.

A trace of struggle appeared in her eyes; the little nun hesitated for a long while, looking left and right.

Seeing no one around, she finally could not resist her curiosity, took a lazy shortcut, took out the diary copy, and began to read.

"Me? Falling in love for the first time? Loving but unable to obtain?"

Seeing that today's diary actually mentioned herself, Yilin could not help but be stunned.

"Linghu Chong? Who is Linghu Chong?"

"Mount Huashan's group favorite Yue Lingshan... childhood sweethearts... Is he a disciple of Mount Huashan?"

The little nun pondered thoughtfully.

176 Expectant Yue Lingshan, hospitable Xiao Longnu

Shanzhou, Mount Huashan.

Yue Lingshan jumped up and cheered, "Mother, Young Master Jiang mentioned me! It turns out that just like Senior Brother Linghu, I also come from 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'."

"Then Mother and Father should also be in this book."

"However, is the relationship between me and Senior Brother Linghu in the book so close?"

Yue Lingshan's bright big eyes fluttered with curiosity.

Ning Zhongze smiled slightly, but the smile looked slightly stiff.

Because of that one sentence from Jiang Sishui --

Smiling Proud, No Knight!

Just as Yue Lingshan said, since she was a character in 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer', then her parents should be too.

And Yue Buqun has the beautiful reputation of 'Gentleman Sword'; could he not deserve the word 'Knight'?"

As if by ghost or god, Ning Zhongze suddenly remembered the hypocrites exposed in the diary, such as the Happy King, Wuhua, and Yuan Suiyun...

Ning Zhongze's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

Gentleman Sword... Hypocrite...

Putting these two titles together suddenly gave her an extremely ironic feeling.

Suddenly, she heard Yue Lingshan call out, "Mother, there is you too!"

"Me?"

Ning Zhongze came to her senses, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the diary copy.

【In addition, there is the senior generation's Mount Huashan Jade Maiden, Ning Zhongze, Yue Lingshan's mother】

【And the little loli Qu Feiyan】

【Unfortunately, among these six people, only Ren Yingying had a complete ending; there was also Lan Fengxiao not mentioned, neither good nor bad】

【The other four died directly, three of them】

【Especially Qu Feiyan; looking at her entrance, I thought she was one of the important characters in the book; unexpectedly, she died right after appearing, which truly caught me off guard】

"I died? Even Mother also..." Yue Lingshan's joyful expression immediately stiffened on her face.

Six beauties, only two had good endings.

And among the remaining four, Yilin was already clearly destined to accompany the green lamp and ancient Buddha forever; does that not mean that she and Ning Zhongze also died?

Yue Lingshan lightly bit her lower lip; the previous joy instantly vanished completely.

Ning Zhongze smiled and comforted, "Shan'er, that is just a story; there is no need to take it so seriously."

"Take the present for example; with the protection of the 'Kunji Seal', how many people in the world can harm us?"

Hearing this, Yue Lingshan felt much better in her heart immediately.

However, for a short while, she obviously could not completely let go and just wanted to know more information.

【Hmm, this trip started from Suzhou, passed through Wanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jinzhou, and finally arrived at Shanzhou】

【I'll stop by Yuzhou's Luoyang Green Bamboo Lane, Jinzhou's Mount Hengshan, and Shanzhou's Mount Huashan on the way.】

【Right, Mount Zhongnan is also in Shanzhou. I'll go check the Ancient Tomb to see if Xiao Longnu is there, and whether she looks like Yuyan.】

Seeing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Yue Lingshan's little face.

Knowing his usual diary style, she figured Jiang Sishui wouldn't elaborate on the story of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," and the topic would shift elsewhere next.

But upon remembering he was coming to Mount Huashan, Yue Lingshan perked up again.

Looking forward to the day they'd meet.

As long as the two of them met face-to-face, she had a very high chance of getting a reward.

Over the past month or so, watching other women win prizes one after another had made Yue Lingshan green with envy.

……

Shanzhou, the Ancient Tomb of Mount Zhongnan.

In a密室 fragrant with the smell of food, Xiao Longnu sat with her knees drawn up.

In her lap she had both a copy of the diary and the "Overlord's Cookbook," reading the diary while ordering "buffet."

She licked a smear of grease from the corner of her lips, and a look of surprise surfaced on her exquisitely jade-like, heavenly-beautiful face: "Coming to find me?"

She pondered silently for a moment, then shifted her gaze to the "Overlord's Cookbook."

Since the last time she was called ignorant of the world, Xiao Longnu had asked Sun Nu to teach her some basic common sense.

Now that Jiang Sishui was coming, she felt she ought to treat him to something good.

Eat to your heart's content, drink to your heart's content—she was the most generous, plenty for all!

【I went up Mount Huangshan, and following the guidance of the "Seeking-Object Luo Pan," found the entrance to where the "Heavenly Sword" was buried】

【Before I could go in, I was ambushed】

【It was a spiritual attack】

【Only later did I learn that fellow was from the Heaven Desire Palace, a disciple of the Heart Demon】

【Connecting cause and effect, it was probably this: a few years ago the Heart Demon stirred up trouble everywhere, and was jointly hunted down by the Zhengdaoge Sect, which should have included the Huangshan Sect】

【Now that the Heart Demon's disciple has mastered his arts, he's been impersonating the Heart Demon's identity, using the Heart Demon's signature technique of those days, the "Spirit-Snatching Great Law," to begin his revenge】

【Of course, it might not be revenge, but rather an order to kill, paving the way for the Heaven Desire Palace Master's return】

【So Qiu Duandao of the Huangshan Sect got killed】

【But he probably never imagined that Qiu Duandao was only the Huangshan Sect's publicly known top expert, and that they were secretly hiding a Heavenly Man, Qing Songzi】

【The Heart Demon's disciple narrowly escaped, but was scared out of his wits by Qing Songzi】

【He hid away to secretly heal his wounds, but happened to bump right into me. With no choice, he chose to "strike first"】

【And then I beat him into a dead dog and dragged him out】
