The heavy fog in the sky turned gray due to the rainy weather.
On the pier of Wuliu Island, Qin Xuanji was standing in the fog looking at the sea, looking forward to it.
The cold wind blows the black skirt, and the sleeves of the clothes float up, like a blooming black lotus. Coupled with that flawless face, it is charming, mysterious, and beautiful.
Both the Sky-Swallowing Whale and the Niugui were released to search for traces of Cao Jinxing.
Regulus XIV and Ying Huo, who were left behind, also stood on the rocks waiting.
They both had full confidence in Cao Jinxing and felt that their master was the most powerful, invincible and invincible, so they were not worried at all.
Yinghuo kept his plate and ate the pork belly with relish.
Fourteen was eating grilled fish, and from time to time he glanced sideways at the pork belly on the plate next to him, stretched out his claws to fish out a few slices, and was not polite at all.
"..."
Yinghuo was extremely aggrieved. He wanted to snatch Shi Shi's fish, but was afraid of being beaten, so he could only endure it, like an angry little daughter-in-law.
Qin Xuanque and the three island owners originally wanted to persuade Qin Xuanji to go into the inn and wait, but if the girl refused, they could only accompany her to enjoy the cold wind.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a cheerful whale call came from the heavy fog.
Qin Xuanji is overjoyed, he is back!
Qin Xuanque and others also breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward.
The fog parted, and the huge body of the Sky-Swallowing Whale loomed. Qin Xuanji jumped onto the whale's back, looking around, eagerly searching for Cao Jinxing's figure. When she saw it, she rushed over and hugged him tightly.
, with tears in his eyes, crying and laughing: "You are finally back...you worried me to death..."
"cough!"
Cao Jinxing quickly signaled, "I'm not the only one on this whale. Your father's face is as dark as the bottom of a pot!"
"Um?"
Qin Xuanji was stunned for a moment, thinking that Cao Jinxing was injured. She raised her head and was about to speak when she noticed a figure behind him. She took a closer look and screamed. She quickly let go of Cao Jinxing and looked at Qin Zhaonan with a red face.
, whispered: "Dad...you are out of isolation..."
"Hmph! If you don't get out of seclusion, you will be abducted by others!"
Qin Zhaonan had a cold face and felt sour in his heart. The little cotton-padded jacket he had raised since childhood had only been a few months since he had seen her, and her biological father was no longer in his eyes...
Suddenly I don’t want to agree anymore, this brat should be beaten out!
Qin Xuanji was so smart that she didn't know what her father was thinking. She quickly ran over and hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "Thank you, Dad, you must be the one who brought Jinxing back... Dad, have you broken through the Dharma? It's amazing!"
"Stop flattering me! I'll settle the score with you later!"
Qin Zhaonan tapped her forehead angrily.
Qin Xuanji chuckled, leaned on his shoulder, and said in a tired voice: "Dad is reluctant to let go..."
"..."
Qin Zhaonan took a deep breath, feeling pampered and helpless at the same time.
"Abba!"
Qin Xuanque stepped forward quickly and said happily: "You are out of seclusion!"
"Um."
The other three island owners also looked happy and stepped forward to salute and call them "big brother".
Qin Zhaonan nodded and said: "There are many people here and this is not the place to talk. Go back to the house first. There are still many things to do."
"yes."
Cao Jinxing looked at Shi Shi and Ying Huo with a smile. Cats and birds flew over, one stood on his shoulders and the other jumped into his arms.
Cao Jinxing followed the others and slowly walked into Wuliu Island with Fourteen in his arms.
The next thing is simple.
Cao Jinxing poured out all the treasures he had plundered from the Yuzhang Tower boat out of the Qiankun Bag - the artifact Rotten Bracelet [Blood and Tears], Moon Angel's Crescent Scimitar, Michael's Lake Sword, Iron
In Kuang Tu's hands, he used special materials to cast the poisonous ring-headed sword, various natural materials and earthly treasures, and martial arts secrets from the Western Han Dynasty.
It's been too long.
A lot of the medicinal properties of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures have been lost, and the handwriting of some secret books has also been blurred, making it impossible to practice blindly. Only a very few treasures have been preserved.
Even so, it is still a huge fortune.
With these things, Kiryu Island can recruit troops and expand outward, and its strength and influence will surely reach a higher level.
Qin Xuanque, Shi Yi and others were very happy, but they did not forget that Cao Jinxing owned a large part of these things, and according to Qin Zhaonan's opinion, if Cao Jinxing had not taken action in time, Qin Zhaonan might have been injured by the aliens from the tribunal.
This makes it even more impossible to take advantage of others, so even though they know the treasure is precious, they still refuse.
Cao Jinxing has no intention of asking for it. Firstly, he has no shortage of magical skills, weapons, and elixirs. Secondly, these heavenly materials and earthly treasures have lost too much of their medicinal properties and have lost their rank. Fifth-grade elixirs can still be refined, and fourth-grade elixirs are
Don't even think about it.
But now Cao Jinxing is no longer interested in the fifth-grade elixir. If he still takes up space, he might as well give it to the Qin family.
The two parties declined each other, and Qin Zhaonan made the final decision: "Xuanque, take it, this kid should be ruined!"
"..."
Qin Xuanque is a little confused. Is dad angry? Cao Jinxing spares no effort to help, what else is there to be angry about...
Shi Yi seemed to have some eyebrows, shook his head and smiled.
Qin Xuanji subconsciously looked at Cao Jinxing. Of course Cao Jinxing knew what his father-in-law was referring to. If the matter could be revealed so easily, of course he would have no problem with it. He smiled and nodded at Qin Xuanji.
Qin Xuanji's eyes gradually widened, and she was overjoyed. Dad also agreed? That's great!
Qin Zhaonan said in his heart, "Is it useful if I don't agree?"
He rolled his eyes and didn't bother to look at the useless girl anymore. He turned around and ordered his servants to prepare food and drinks. He hadn't eaten since he left seclusion. When he returned to Kiryu Island, he encountered this problem again. He had been busy most of the night and needed to eat something.
Stuff - I guess Cao Jinxing is also hungry.
Only then did Qin Xuanque react and quickly asked his subordinates to prepare. At this moment, an invisible falcon flew over from the sky.
Mao Jiahe was at the window, stretched out his arm to take it, took off the letter from his leg, opened it, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Qin Zhaonan said: "What's wrong, Fourth Brother?"
Mao Jiahe handed the letter to Cao Jinxing and said: "It was sent to Mr. Cao by Liu Zhenfu, through our channels in the Central Plains..."
Qin Zhaonan nodded and said no more.
Cao Jinxing stood up and took the letter, opened it and looked at it. Everyone else also paid attention to him, especially Qin Xuanji, with worry flashing in his eyes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is already the second letter, and it is probably the same thing as before...
"It's not a big deal."
After reading it, Cao Jinxing said to everyone: "Brother asked me how I am recovering from my injuries... Several strange things have happened in Zhongyuan recently. The Zhenfu Department is short of manpower. Let's see if I can go back to suppress the situation..."
"very urgent?"
Qin Xuanji worriedly said that if it was an ordinary matter, there seemed to be no need to send two letters in just a few days.
"A little bit."
Cao Jinxing frowned and said: "The two supreme elders of the Tang Sect who were guarding the Tang Tomb have disappeared inexplicably... as well as the Beggar Clan's leader of the stick and dragon head, the leader of the Dali branch, and the 'sword maniac' of the Shushan Sword Sect. These masters are all
No one can be seen alive, no body can be seen dead...
】
In addition, the entire "Golden Finger" Li family in Kaifeng Prefecture was wiped out, and there were signs of smashing in the house, as if they were looking for something... It's not surprising that there are two of them, but it's a bit strange to have so many of them put together.
Brother is worried that the matter is not over yet, so I want to see if I can help check..."
"Kaifeng Li Family, Golden Touch..."
Qin Zhaonan thought for a while and said: "It seems that they are a family that is good at acupuncture. The famous skill seems to be called "Midas Turning Stone into Gold"... The head of the family, Li Wenshuo, is considered a Confucian scholar. I remember that he seemed to be a royal doctor and was very accurate in identifying acupuncture points.
, he behaves in a low-key manner and lives in seclusion. I met him once on the Precious Beast Island three years ago because..."
Qin Zhaonan paused for a moment, forgetting why, but he just had an impression.
Shi Yi added from the side: "Because of [Ho Luo Fish]. He heard that [Ho Luo Fish] is extremely delicious, so he came here to ask for it to wish his mother a birthday."
"right."
Qin Zhaonan suddenly said: "The flesh of the Ho Luo fish is worth thousands of gold, and selling it whole is even more valuable. I thought he was not good-looking and his level was not high, so I said that as long as I had ten thousand taels of gold, I would sell him one. I didn't expect him.
I actually took out ten thousand taels of gold in silver notes, and my second brother even said that this person’s true identity is unknown... it should be him."
Shi Yi nodded: "That's him."
"He used ten thousand taels of gold to buy fish...to celebrate his birthday?"
Cao Jinxing was stunned for a moment, this person is so generous, but it doesn't look like the Li family in Kaifeng has so much money.
In my impression, he is not a miracle doctor. He just relies on acupoints. Where does the money come from?
"Things are not simple..."
Cao Jinxing frowned.
The leader of the Beggar Clan and the helmsman of the Dali Branch are all masters of the late Tongyou period, and the Supreme Elder of the Tang Sect is a martial arts senior with superb martial arts. At this juncture, the entire Li family of the little-known "Golden Finger" was wiped out...
…Is it involved, and why is it involved?
Cao Jinxing's brain was running rapidly, thinking about possible reasons.
Qin Xuanji secretly held his hand.
Cao Jinxing suddenly woke up and saw that everyone was looking at him. He smiled apologetically and said: "It's not easy to delay the affairs of the Zhenfu Division. I have been in Donghai for such a long time. I will go back tomorrow... I just happened to discuss it with my elder brother.
, invite him to propose marriage."
Qin Xuanji's face turned red.
The others immediately relaxed and looked happy.
Qin Zhaonan nodded, that's what he wanted!
If he left in such an unclear manner, this kid would never see Xuanji again in his life!
With this promise, coupled with Cao Jinxing's own reputation, the matter was 80% settled. The Qin family was very happy and had a great time drinking that night.
Cao Jinxing asked Qin Zhaonan and the three island owners to get drunk, but he couldn't use his internal strength to force out the alcohol, so he could only endure the uncomfortable drinking. How did he finally return to Tunyun Tuwu Tower?
All forgotten.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already three o'clock in the sky, the clouds had dispersed, and the sun was shining into the room.
"My head hurts..."
Cao Jinxing held his head, feeling dizzy and uncomfortable.
Regulus slept in his arms, moved his ears, and continued to pierce his neck without moving.
"woke up?"
Qin Xuanji came early in the morning. At this time, she came over with a bowl of honey water, fed him to drink it slowly, then put his head on her lap, pressed his temples, and said angrily: "Two
Uncle, they really let you drink so much... you too, why don't you just force it out, you are so drunk..."
After Cao Jinxing got drunk, he neither acted crazy nor vomited, but just frowned and fell asleep. Qin Xuanji was heartbroken.
Cao Jin moved his body, trying to lie down as comfortably as possible, and said: "It's okay, I haven't been drunk for a long time, and it feels quite novel... It's a bit risky to go back this time. Just stay on Wuliu Island and wait for me to finish the matter.
When we’re done, I’ll pick you up.”
catch……
Qin Xuanji's face turned red, and she continued: "Risk? What risk?"
Cao Jinxing then told the story of meeting An Qisheng at the bottom of the sea.
"Weird things happen frequently in the Central Plains, and there may be traces of mythical beasts... The human race continued to disturb them, plotting the bloodline of the mythical beasts, and finally made them anxious. If the mythical beasts cause trouble, things will not be trivial. The East China Sea is safer now. You stay at home and I will
More assured.”
"Um."
Qin Xuanji knew that she was very powerful at Tongyou Eighth Floor, but she couldn't help Cao Jinxing, so she didn't insist. She nodded obediently and said, "I'll wait for you."
After saying that, she suddenly remembered something and took out the jade pendant and the wordless parchment she was wearing. They were the other two treasures that Zhang Sanfeng gave her along with "The Rootless Tree". Unfortunately, she never knew what was hidden in them.
What kind of secrets are there, especially the "Wordless Book", I don't know how to use it at all.
Qin Xuanji put the jade pendant and the parchment scroll into Cao Jinxing's hand and said softly: "Since the Jade Pendant of Chaofeng is related to Qin Ling, then this picture is probably the same. You can take it with you... I think Sanfeng
The real intention is for me to deliver it to you..."
Cao Jinxing thought for a while and nodded: "That's fine. If the information leaks and someone asks for it, just blame it on me."
"..."
Qin Xuanji didn't answer, looking down at his handsome face with great reluctance.
With such a big thing happening, it will probably take a few more months before we see each other again...
The room is silent.
"Xuanji?"
Cao Jinxing was puzzled and was about to open his eyes when he suddenly felt hair falling on his face, and then a warm touch came from his lips...
Cao Jinxing felt a hot flash in his heart. He quickly suppressed the impulse and whispered: "Don't make trouble. Let your father know that he can break my legs!"
"Puch!"
Qin Xuanji smiled brightly, raised her head, and looked at him lovingly: "You have to come quickly."
"Do not worry."
Cao Jinxing kissed her forehead gently: "Soon."
That afternoon, the family had a sumptuous lunch. Under the watch of everyone, Cao Jinxing climbed onto Yinghuo's back and soared into the sky...
