Volume 1 First Encounter with Emotions Chapter 36 Li Yanxiao's Tribulation
Aunt Qin felt helpless at being called junior. As the master of the Four Avenues, she could be considered to have lived for thousands of years.
But in the eyes of Li Mengyu, the first empress of Qingqiu, her thousand years were indeed not enough...
Jiang Qin shook his head with a wry smile, and saluted the innocent-looking woman who emerged from behind the light curtain: "Jiang Qin, I have met Emperor Ran!"
That's right! This pure-looking woman is none other than the current empress of Qingqiu—Xu Xiaotu! The emperor's title is Ran!
When Xu Xiaotu saw Jiang Qin, he smiled and waved as if to say hello: "Hey! It turns out to be Taoist Master Jiang Qin!"
Jiang Qin looked at such a lively and lovely Randi, and her originally tense body couldn't help but relax a little.
Speaking of which, Taoism had some connections with Emperor Ran at the beginning, but luckily it was a good relationship.
Xu Xiaotu said hello to Jiang Qin and asked: "By the way, I just heard you talking about the fox demon...what's going on?"
Jiang Qin did not hide anything, and respectfully repeated what she had just told Li Mengyu.
After listening to this, Li Mengyu and Xu Xiaotu finally understood the cause and effect.
When Xu Xiaotu learned that all this was reported by a Taoist junior named Mu Mengzi, his eyes became abnormal.
Li Mengyu recalled something for a moment, as if she had remembered something. She turned to look at Xu Xiaotu and asked, "Xiaotu, this Mu Mengzi is not the one you saved back then..."
Xu Xiaotu nodded, his tone a little worried: "I didn't expect that this disaster would come so quickly!"
Jiang Qin saw that they still remembered Mu Mengzi, and seemed to know a little secret.
She nodded and said, "I heard from Mengzi that she has already been in contact with Yan Xiao, and even went to Xuyuan Pavilion!"
It was Xu Xiaotu who brought Mu Mengzi to the Taoist family in the first place. If Jiang Qin hadn't taken Xu Xiaotu's face out of consideration, he would have sent Mu Mengzi back to the Mu family.
Moreover, Xu Xiaotu told Jiang Qin at that time that Mu Mengzi was not simple. As for why she was not simple, Xu Xiaotu did not reveal too much to her. Although she didn't know much, she still knew a little.
Over the years, Jiang Qin has put in a lot of effort to cover up Mu Mengzi's whereabouts from the Mu family. As a Taoist master, she must always pay attention to Mu Mengzi's situation to avoid any mishaps. After all, she is very 'special'
!
Xu Xiaotu lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then waved his hand a little melancholy: "Taoist Master Jiang Qin, regarding the matter of Mu Mengzi and Xiao Yanyan... don't interfere yet. After all, this is Xiao Yanyan's disaster!"
Jiang Qin stood up immediately, with a look of shock on his face: "What!? This is Master... Yan Xiao's calamity!!?"
Although Jiang Qin knew some inside stories, she never knew that Mu Mengzi was Li Yanxiao's culprit!
Yan Xiao is very important to both Taoism and Qingqiu, and there must be no mistakes!
Seeing Jiang Qin so excited, Xu Xiaotu was not surprised.
Suddenly Li Mengyu seemed to sense something, and urged Xu Xiaotu with a stern expression: "Xiao Xiaotu, they are here again!"
When Xu Xiaotu heard this, his expression turned grim.
She warned Jiang Qin anxiously: "Taoist Jiang Qin, please don't interfere with Xiao Yanyan and Mu Mengzi's affairs. That Bai Jian..."
Xu Xiaotu hesitated and continued: "It's time to leave it to her!"
After saying that, the light curtain dissipated and left.
Jiang Qin was left stunned. She originally wanted to ask how to deal with the fox demon, but she never expected to learn such a difficult secret.
Li Yanxiao is of great significance to Xuyuan Pavilion, Taoism, and even Qingqiu. There must be no mistakes!
Moreover, Yan Xiao was destined to have this calamity. He thought that this calamity would not come so early.
But I didn't expect it to come so soon, and it seems that this disaster is still related to Mengzi.
Jiang Qin sat down and silently digested everything he learned.
…………
At this time, Mu Mengzi left the main hall and went directly to the library.
Arriving at the door of the library, Mu Mengzi saw the person he didn't want to see - Dao Buwei!
When Dao Buwei saw Mu Mengzi, he took the initiative to greet her and said with a smile: "Mengzi, I knew you would come to the library, so I have been waiting for you here."
Mu Mengzi nodded out of politeness: "Mu Mengxi, I have seen the truth and am not a senior brother."
Dao Buwei saw that Mu Mengzi was so alienated from him, so he pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Mengzi, you are too foreign! After all, we grew up together, and now we are so alienated after not seeing each other for two years?"
As he spoke, Buwei stretched out his hand to hold Mu Mengzi's arm.
Mu Mengzi frowned and dodged away.
This made Dao Buwei withdraw his hand in the air in embarrassment.
Not far away, Jiang Xiaowu, who had been looking for Dao Buwei, happened to see this scene, and her face darkened.
…………
Dao Buwei touched his head in embarrassment and continued: "Mengzi, watching you fight Ling Yun today, I, as a senior brother, are under a lot of pressure!"
Mu Mengzi kept her distance and bowed: "Senior brother, I have something to do and I have to go first."
As he spoke, Mu Mengzi walked around Dao Buwei and walked towards the library.
But suddenly a cold light rushed towards Mu Mengzi.
Fortunately, Mu Mengzi reacted quickly and quickly retreated to avoid the sword.
But the mahogany sword came after him with a slash.
Mu Mengzi only had the broken peach wood sword in her hand at this time, but she still used it for emergencies.
He caught the incoming sword with his broken sword.
"Crack!"
Compared with Ling Yun, this strength is still far behind.
But it still knocked Mu Mengzi back several steps.
Mu Mengzi suffered a huge loss in the battle with Ling Yun not long ago, and now she was caught off guard. It was good to be able to block it.
Seeing that the attacker was Jiang Xiaowu, Mu Mengzi was not surprised.
She held the broken peach wood sword and stared at Jiang Xiaowu with a wary expression.
Jiang Xiaowu was about to give chase, but luckily she didn't react before she quickly stepped forward to stop Jiang Xiaowu: "Xiao Wu, what are you doing!?"
Jiang Xiaowu looked at Mu Mengzi with a cold expression, and shook off Dao Buwei's hand: "Didn't I see that Senior Sister Mu Mengzi's cultivation has increased a lot? So I hereby ask for advice!"
Dao Buweilian stretched out his hand to stop Jiang Xiaowu again: "Xiao Wu, don't make trouble. Mengzi has just experienced a battle. Not only is he tired at this time, even the peach wood sword is damaged..."
Jiang Xiaowu looked at Dao Buwei who was interceding for Mu Mengzi with a cold eyebrow, and her eyes became even more hostile.
"Isn't it just a broken sword!?"
After speaking, Jiang Xiaowu raised her hand and chopped off the peach wood sword in her heart with one palm. She stared at her prey like a poisonous snake and said coldly: "I only use the fifth level of strength!"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaowu bypassed Dao and attacked Mu Mengzi with the broken sword.
At this time, Mu Mengzi was ready and saw the peach wood sword running towards her. Her center of gravity sank, and the peach wood sword that was broken in her hand was rotated and reversed, and she slashed upwards.
Jiang Xiaowu's broken sword was seen brushing against Mu Mengzi's ear. It was obvious that she was not used to the broken peach wood sword.
If it were a normal sword, Mu Mengzi would have already received a sword blow at this time.
Jiang Xiaowu saw that her attack missed, and before she could react, she was thrown away by Mu Mengzi's slash.
Dao Buwei quickly took action to catch Jiang Xiaowu who flew out.
Before Dao Buwei could persuade them, Jiang Xiaowu broke away from Dao Buwei's embrace, her cheeks so gloomy that they were about to drip.
Without saying a word, she attacked Mu Mengzi again.
Mu Mengzi was not at the mercy of Jiang Xiaowu. She calmly held the broken sword and looked at the attacking Jiang Xiaowu. She took a deep breath and prepared to fight in her best condition.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"boom!"
Not only did the two collide with each other with mahogany swords, but sometimes they also exchanged fists and kicks.
Dao Buwei watched from the side and did not stop him. He just verbally advised: "Mengzi, Xiaowu, please stop fighting!"
Jiang Xiaowu and Mu Mengzi didn't stop fighting at all. Jiang Xiaowu became even more fierce after hearing Dao Buwei's dissuasion. The two of them fought more and more fiercely.
This attracted many Taoist disciples to watch.
"Isn't this Senior Sister Mu Mengzi? I just finished fighting with Senior Sister Lingyun, who are you fighting with now?"
"Who is this senior sister who is fighting against senior sister Mu Mengzi? She is no weaker than senior sister Lingyun!"
"This seems... to be... the daughter of Taoist Master Jiang Qin! Senior Sister Jiang Xiaowu!!"
"Senior Sister Jiang Xiaowu? Didn't it say that Senior Sister Jiang Xiaowu went on a secret mission with Senior Brother Dao Buwei two years ago?"
"It is indeed Senior Sister Jiang Xiaowu. Look, isn't that Senior Brother Dao Buwei next to you?"
"It's true that Dao is not a senior brother..."
"I wonder if Senior Sister Mu Mengzi can defeat Senior Sister Jiang Xiaowu?"
"I'm afraid it's difficult. Senior Sister Mu Mengzi just had a battle with Senior Sister Lingyun not long ago. I'm afraid her strength hasn't been restored yet!"
The Taoist disciples who gathered around quickly recognized Jiang Xiaowu and Dao Buwei.
Both Mu Mengzi and Jiang Xiaowu heard the discussion below.
Jiang Xiaowu was furious about those comments that he was taking advantage.
She forced Mu Mengzi back with a sword, then turned around and stared sternly at the Taoist disciples who said she had taken advantage.
He said murderously: "Would I take advantage of her? What a joke! I also used the Broken Sword, and my strength was only less than 50%! Do you think I took advantage!?"
The Taoist disciples watching the show outside were trembling and lowered their heads when Jiang Xiaowu scolded them like this. After all, the other party was the Taoist master's child, and ordinary disciples couldn't fight them.
Some people take advantage of the situation and directly switch sides.
The crowd became restless again.
"Yes, Senior Sister Jiang Xiaowu also used a broken sword! Look at the remains over there. Could it be that Senior Sister Jiang Xiaowu broke off her peach wood sword to compete with Senior Sister Mu Mengzi?"
"It seems that Senior Sister Jiang Xiaowu did not take advantage!"
"What!! Senior Sister Jiang Xiaowu actually only used less than half of her strength!? If it were me, I wouldn't be able to hold on even a single move!"
"Although Senior Sister Mu Mengzi is not in good condition, I still feel that Senior Sister Jiang Xiaowu is more powerful!"
"That's right! It seems that the most outstanding Taoist disciple of this generation is about to be replaced!"
…………
Jiang Xiaowu's mood improved a lot when he heard that the conversation below changed his favor.
Mu Mengzi didn't care at all about the rumors outside.
When she was the eldest daughter of the Mu family, many people pursued her, but when her father encountered difficulties, those who pursued him turned a blind eye to her.
Mu Mengzi understood from that time that what others say has nothing to do with her, as long as she is herself.
Jiang Xiaowu glanced at Mu Mengzi with an arrogant look, and felt very unhappy when she saw that her expression remained unchanged.
Originally, she wanted to see Mu Mengzi's disappointed expression after losing the support of the Taoist disciples, but unfortunately she couldn't see it.
Mu Mengzi looked at her calmly and asked coldly: "Have you finished venting your anger?"
Dao Buwei saw that their posture was obviously going to continue, so he quickly stepped forward as peacekeeper and said with a smile: "Junior sister Xiaowu, Mengzi, please don't fight, so as not to hurt the harmony!"
Mu Mengzi replied calmly: "She has no intention of ever getting along with me!"
Jiang Xiaowu's face was gloomy, why did Senior Brother Dao Buwei call her Junior Sister Xiaowu, and calling her Mu Mengzi meant Mengzi?
After this stimulation, Jiang Xiaowu said coldly: "Be harmonious? There is no way I can be harmonious with her!!"
As soon as the words fell, the two started fighting again.
At this time, Mu Mengzi's strength has not been completely restored, only less than 40% is left.
Jiang Xiaowu's strength was not much worse than hers, so for a while the two were on equal footing.
One minute passed, and the two women had gone through at least eighty moves.
None of them took advantage. Jiang Xiaowu originally just lowered his strength, but Mu Mengzi had experienced a hard battle, and even the Taomu sword was broken.
Not only was she weak in terms of strength, she was also physically exhausted.
When Jiang Xiaowu saw that Mu Mengzi could still fight with him calmly, she gritted her teeth and unleashed half of her strength to suppress Mu Mengzi.
Seeing her sudden outburst, Mu Mengzi consumed even more energy.
Originally, the two of them did not take advantage of each other, but now Mu Mengzi gradually fell to the wind.
Seeing that she had a slight advantage, Jiang Xiaowu suddenly became impatient and wanted to defeat Mu Mengzi quickly.
After all, the longer it takes, the lower the Taoist disciples' evaluation of her will be.
Maybe they will say that she is not as good as Mu Mengzi!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaowu's attack became even sharper, and even went straight to Mu Mengzi's vitals.
At this time, Mu Mengzi had consumed too much and was beginning to lose her ability to fight.
However, she still gritted her teeth and fought with Jiang Xiaowu.
Dao Buwei on the side saw that Mu Mengzi was starting to run out of energy, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, ready to take action to stop Jiang Xiaowu at any time.
Of course he was waiting for an opportunity, that is when Jiang Xiaowu was going to defeat Mu Mengzi.
