"But I imagine there should be some. After all, our Flower-Moving Palace also uses quite a lot of herbs."

".... Whether there are any, we'll know when we go."

Jiang Chen looked at Hua Jin with a smile, then said to Yin Luoxia: "Luoxia, arrange for Shopkeeper Xie to start serving the dishes."

"Okay."

Yin Luoxia nodded with a smile.

And the others also looked at Hua Jin with smiles on their faces.

"Why... why are you all looking at me?"

Noticing everyone's gaze, Hua Jin's originally delicate and snow-white face turned red in a flash.

Seeing Sangsang said earnestly: "Older Sister Hua Jin, your face is red."

Hua Jin subconsciously reached out to touch her face.

"Puchi~"

"Hahaha!"

"..."

Hearing Seeing Sangsang's words, everyone could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

"Stop touching it."

Jiang Chen said helplessly: "If you were afraid of me, you've been complaining about me behind my back to Seeing Sangsang and Feifei these days. If you weren't afraid, then just say you want to go to the Great Ming Imperial Dynasty. Why do you have to find such a poor excuse? Next time you have something to say, just say it to me directly. I'm not a bad person, could I eat you?!"

Hearing this,

and looking at Seeing Sangsang and Qu Feiyan, whose eyes were smiling into crescent shapes,

her face, which had already turned bright red, spread directly to her earlobes.

Was her intention so obvious?

Even Seeing Sangsang and Qu Feiyan saw it at a glance?

Chapter 241: Only Stronger, Not Weaker!

The stars and moon are bright, the Milky Way is in the sky.

Beside the thatched cottage on Cangshan,

Li Hanyi looked at Jiang Chen with curiosity and surprise: "Disciple, what kind of method is this that you can even control these insects and beasts?"

Just a moment ago,

from ants and spiders to jackals, tigers, and leopards, in just half an hour, almost all the insects and beasts on Cangshan gathered on the mountain peak under her feet. The number was so large that it directly filled the entire mountaintop.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes,

and Jiang Chen was right beside her,

Li Hanyi would even suspect that she had fallen into some kind of illusion array.

"This is a beast-controlling method I accidentally learned from an ancient book a long time ago."

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "This was also because Hua Jin mentioned just now that there were still a few medicinal herbs missing, which is why I remembered it. Now is just the right time to try it out. Instead of letting Seeing Sangsang and the others search the mountain for herbs, it's better to let these insects and beasts help search."

After finishing dinner,

Seeing Sangsang took Hua Jin and Qu Feiyan to find Zhou Zhiruo.

As for the others,

they went to the gambling house together at Brother Sikong Qianluo's suggestion.

In Brother Sikong Qianluo's words,

that was, if I can't win the silver from Huang Rong and the others, can't I win money from other people?

However,

don't say that,

every time she played with others in the gambling house, Brother Sikong Qianluo basically won quite a bit of silver every time.

Just like the last time she came to the gambling house,

a personal disciple of Venerable Lanyue of the Xianxia Sect, which has a good relationship with Xueyue City, lost nearly a hundred taels of silver to Brother Sikong Qianluo in less than an hour.

And there was another time before that,

that was even more exaggerated,

the two masters Yuanyuan and Yuantong of the Shaolin Temple sent... lost nearly seven hundred taels to Brother Sikong Qianluo.

If Yin Luoxia hadn't been unable to watch anymore in the end, it is estimated that Brother Sikong Qianluo could have won even more.

Of course,

all this silver ended up in the pockets of Huang Rong, Lianxing, and the others within a few short days.

Watching Li Hanyi still looking curious, Jiang Chen smiled gently: "If Master is interested, I'll teach you!"

And hearing that Jiang Chen was going to teach her something again,

Li Hanyi's face turned red all of a sudden.

A few nights ago, her disciple said he wanted to teach her some things, and the key was that she actually believed it...

"No nonsense, we're talking about serious business."

Li Hanyi rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen and then asked somewhat puzzled: "Actually, I've always been unable to understand why you want Seeing Sangsang to join that Emei Sect? Doesn't our Xueyue City have many people who can teach Seeing Sangsang martial arts?"

Hearing this,

Jiang Chen did not explain immediately, but asked with a smile: "Master, I ask you, if you were to return to Lei Family Fort now, do you think those disciples of Lei Family Fort would respect you?"

Li Hanyi shook her head directly: "Impossible, I swore before that I would never return to Lei Family Fort in this life."

Jiang Chen twitched his mouth: "I'm saying if..."

Li Hanyi: "There is no if."

Jiang Chen: "..."

"Don't mess around, we're talking about Seeing Sangsang's matter. I'm not asking you to really return to Lei Family Fort. Besides, even if you were willing to go back, I wouldn't agree."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words,

a smile could not help but appear on Li Hanyi's face, but soon she asked again:

"What does this have to do with Seeing Sangsang?"

"Just answer me first, if you were to return to Lei Family Fort, do you think those disciples of Lei Family Fort would respect and revere you?"

"No... I suppose they would."

Jiang Chen could see that his master's opinion of Lei Family Fort was not just a little bit big. If he hadn't glared at her, it is estimated that she would still be insisting.

"Then why do you think they would revere you?"

"Because I am the Xueyue Sword Immortal?"

"Then what if you didn't have the strength of a Sword Immortal, and were just a weak woman without the power to truss a chicken?"

"I... I suppose they would too?"

Li Hanyi said somewhat uncertainly: "After all, my status is there. Even if they don't respect me behind my back, at least they wouldn't show it on the surface."

"Then that's it."

Jiang Chen said softly: "Actually, Seeing Sangsang is in such a situation now."

"The reason why all the disciples in our Xueyue City are polite to Seeing Sangsang when they see her is actually just because of me."

"But Master, have you thought about whether those disciples would secretly gossip about Seeing Sangsang behind her back?"

Li Hanyi was stunned: "Gossip about what?"

"Naturally, some negative things. Master, think about it. Before knowing Seeing Sangsang, she was already making a living by selling flowers in our Xueyue City. I think at that time, many disciples in our Xueyue City must have seen Seeing Sangsang."

"And human hearts have always been complex and jealous. Seeing Sangsang is not a disciple of our Xueyue City and has no cultivation, but now she can go anywhere in our Xueyue City, and even places like Cangshan, which ordinary disciples cannot go to, she can enter at will. Master, what do you think other disciples would think?"

Hearing this,

Li Hanyi understood a little.

"Since that's the case, then wouldn't it be fine to let Seeing Sangsang join our Xueyue City?"

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Then if you knew that if you returned to Lei Family Fort, you would be gossiped about all day by those Lei Family Fort disciples behind your back, saying that the reason Lei Family Fort agreed to let you return was just for the sake of your father, Lei Mengsha, would you still go back?"

Hearing this, Li Hanyi fell silent immediately.

Jiang Chen continued: "If it were when I first met Seeing Sangsang, these would naturally be no problem. But now, Seeing Sangsang might have already heard some rumors, so even if you wanted Seeing Sangsang to join Xueyue City, she might not agree. And the reason Seeing Sangsang is still staying in Xueyue City now is just because we are here."

After saying this,
