Hearing this, Liu Xiaolu immediately raised his eyebrows, and was about to have a seizure, but Xiao Qing continued lazily, "It's true that I can open the tunnel, but the two formations outside Yuchuan don't have the ability now."

Drill through.”

Liu Xiaolu was stunned when she heard this. How could she forget this?

There are two large formations outside Yuchuan, one for attack and one for defense. I heard that it was set up by the ancestor of Jindan. Every year just to maintain the operation of these two formations, the family spends a lot of spiritual stones.

The power of the formations set up by the Jindan monks can be seen. This is also an important reason why the Hu family was able to safely stay in the Yuchuan ancestral land in the early years, even if the other two spiritual veins in their hands were lost, no matter how difficult the situation was.

.

From this point of view, it is impossible to escape from this place by relying on Xiaoqing's ability to escape from the earth.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Just as she lowered her eyes and thought about other countermeasures, she heard Xiao Qing next to her say again, "Little loser, it's been a long time since Gu's little brother came to say hello to Gu.

I promised to invite it to eat roasted bamboo rat earlier, but it’s been several days, why hasn’t it come yet?”

After speaking, the tip of the green snake's slender tail twitched uneasily a few times, and there was a hint of uneasiness in its tone.

"Perhaps its owner took it out recently? Or it was tripped up by something else." Liu Xiaolu frowned when he heard this.

Xiaoqing was obviously not satisfied with the explanation given by Liu Xiaolu. He spat out the message and tilted his head and said, "Hey, the yard where I live is not far from ours. No matter how busy it is, it shouldn't be there."

It’s time.”

What Xiaoqing said was not unreasonable. Liu Xiaolu pondered for a moment and then said, "In any case, as long as Jixiang is in Yuchuan, nothing unexpected will happen.

If you are really worried, I will pay a visit to Sixth Sister tomorrow and ask about Jixiang's situation."

Hearing this, Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, and she muttered, "Actually, it's not so troublesome. It's just a stupid cat. I'm not worried about it."

Liu Xiaolu shook his head and smiled, then reached out and stroked Xiaoqing's head, but rarely said anything in reply.

…

City Lord's Mansion.

A young man in white clothes bowed to the yellow-browed old man in the magic circle and said, "Grandpa, I have been staying at home for more than half a month, and a letter has been sent from the sect urging me to return to the sect as soon as possible."

The young man's tone was respectful, but the yellow-browed old man sitting cross-legged on the futon showed no reaction as if he hadn't heard anything, and didn't even move his eyelids.

Jin Ziqi waited for a long time, but seeing that Old City Lord Jin still had no intention of speaking, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak out again, "Grandpa, Ziqi received a summons from Master today, ordering me to return to the sect immediately."

"Master?" After hearing this, Old City Lord Jin finally said with a sneer, "I have told you long ago that I will teach you to take Elder Lian Jing as your teacher. Why did you take it upon yourself to choose someone who has just broken through the golden elixir stage?

Female elder?”

The old man was obviously really angry this time. When Jin Ziqi, who was waiting aside, saw this, he immediately bent his legs and knelt down.

"Don't you think that because you have become a direct disciple of the Hedao Sect, you can stop listening to the control of this old man like me?

Don’t forget, I am the reason why you are where you are today! If I hadn’t been planning for you all these years, how would you have achieved such success?”

Old City Lord Jin was furious and scolded his grandson several times with a livid face before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of this moment, Jin Ziqi hurriedly knelt down and prostrated, shouting, "My grandson knows his mistake and is voluntarily punished, but grandpa knows it well and his grandson has never had any second thoughts about grandpa!"

"snort."

Old City Lord Jin glanced at the young man in white lying on the ground with the corner of his eye, snorted coldly, but did not answer.

"Actually, Zi Qi originally planned to become the disciple of Elder Lian Jing according to his grandfather's instructions."

Seeing Old City Master Jin's eyes drifting towards him, the young man's throat trembled, and then he continued, "Elder Lian Jing has quite a status in the Hedao Sect, and besides, he is waiting with me...

If we become his disciple, borrowing his power will certainly help us in our future actions, but the other Jindan elders in the sect are very concerned about Elder Lian Jing's every move.

Once I seriously join Elder Lian Jing's camp, there will be many forces keeping an eye on me, and there may even be Elder Jin Dan who will also pay attention to the affairs of Shangzong Yuancheng.

Something is about to happen, and my grandson dare not take any risks.

Therefore, we selected a newly promoted Jindan elder as our teacher. This person has no foundation in Hedao Sect, so he is not paid much attention by other elders, which helps us hide our identity."

Perhaps he was emotionally oppressed by Old City Lord Jin, so Jin Ziqi's words were hurried and fast, but clear and coherent.

After hearing these words, although Old City Master Jin's expression softened a bit, he still said coldly, "Even if what you said makes sense, this master is not a good choice now.

I heard that this woman was extremely beautiful, and the female cultivator with the Fire Spirit Root who was originally practicing dual cultivation with her died unexpectedly a few years ago.

Now that she has been promoted to the Golden Core stage, many people in the Hedao Sect must be interested in this girl."

Hearing this, Jin Ziqi paused again and said, "My grandson will naturally be able to avoid this matter, but grandpa once said that if two powers benefit each other, choose the heavier one, and if two powers harm each other, choose the lighter one.

In my grandson's opinion, compared to Elder Lian Jing, the benefits of choosing Elder Mei are much greater."

Old City Lord Jin's eyes flashed, and after weighing it in his mind, he finally sighed, shook his head and said, "That's it, the matter is over, let's do as you say."

"Then when my grandson returns to the sect..." Jin Ziqi was overjoyed and hurriedly raised his head and asked.

Old City Lord Jin waved his hand and said, "In that case, you can set off to return to Daozong tomorrow."

"yes!"

Seeing that Old City Master Jin was relieved, Jin Ziqi hurriedly stood up and saluted.

The old man with yellow eyebrows closed his eyes and nodded slightly, but then he thought of something again and said again, "Have you traveled with Zi Hua in the past few days?"

The young man in white was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said, "No, since I returned to the city, I have only gone out a few times at Tianhao's invitation. However, these days, I have seen that Zi Hua is very close to Zi Shu."

Jin Ziqi actually had some doubts in his heart. His little sister was gentle and sweet, and she had been attached to him the most since she was a child. However, her relationship with the mortal brother in the family who had no spiritual roots was only average.

But for some reason, when he returned home this time, Jin Zihua seemed to be a different person. He was much colder to himself, and he often went out with the useless man.

For a while, Jin Ziqi still felt a little bit dissatisfied.

I thought that after hearing the news, Grandpa would teach Jin Zihua a few words, but after hearing this, Old City Lord Jin nodded happily and waved him away without saying anything else.

Jin Ziqi obeyed the words and left the door, but he was even more puzzled. Grandpa had been strict with them since he was a child, and he never had a good look towards Jin Zishu who had no spiritual roots.
