Opposite Cui Jingzhong, who was shocked and confused, was Qiao Ting's expressionless face from beginning to end.
"The people in the mountains are really vulgar, and they waste a good cup of tea in vain.
But if you think about it, even if you drink it, it's just like a cow chewing a peony, and you can't taste the taste. So, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing?"
Qiao Tiao frowned slightly and said:
"Bypass Xiaomei Mountain, where I usually study piano, and walk towards Baiyang Waterfall. What if you want to go to the warehouse to get the elixir? In this case, and you have finished drinking tea, let's go quickly. There is no need to stay here to be an eyesore.
."
Cui Jingzhong was used to hearing these harsh words, and his expression was unfazed and he was not angry at all.
He was just a little confused...
But it is also a blessing for Cui Jingzhong that he does not have to sit opposite Qiao Ting here.
So he just nodded repeatedly, picked up Chen Heng, and walked out of the pavilion.
"I said you can leave, not him."
Qiao Tiao's thick eyelashes slightly raised, like a black butterfly flapping its wings:
"I haven't finished talking to him yet, but that will make Cui Jingzhong irrelevant."
"Wait a minute, are you here to block Junior Brother Chen on purpose?"
Cui Jingzhong was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.
There are restrictions placed in the alchemy hall by Zhenjun himself. Apart from him, no one can enter easily, not even Qiao Ting.
Qiao Ting has always only studied piano music at Xiaomei Mountain.
But today, we had to go around Xiaomei Mountain and meet Qiao Ting...
The thought that goes into this is self-evident.
"cocoa……"
Cui Jingzhong couldn't help but hesitate a little, and said: "But Junior Brother Chen, he..."
"Am I capable of eating people or drinking blood? After all, he is a person that Zhenjun values and I won't do anything to him."
Qiao Ting finally said impatiently: "If there is any offense, I will pardon him and it will be fine. But do you feel at ease? If you feel at ease, just stay away!"
When Cui Jingzhong heard this, his expression relaxed slightly.
He gave Chen Heng a cautious look before moving out of the bamboo forest step by step...
"I don't know what Zhenjun values in him. Even his cultivation is obtained by taking the outer elixir. His potential has been exhausted. I'm afraid he won't even be able to cultivate the soul of the side sect."
After Cui Jingzhong disappeared, a trace of undisguised disgust flashed in Qiao Ting's eyes, and then she looked at Chen Heng and said coldly:
"In the past few days, you have been refining elixirs with Cui Jingzhong in the alchemy room, but you have found nothing? Asking him for advice is really a dead end."
"Senior Brother Cui is a scholar of heaven and man, and his attainments in alchemy are even more subtle and subtle. Heng only regrets that he has a dull talent and cannot fully understand the wonderful words. It is really a pity."
Chen Heng smiled slightly and said.
Qiao Ting was stunned by these words, and her face became a little unhappy.
She saw that although the person opposite had a ferocious appearance and color, his facial features were as delicate as those drawn by a national soldier, and his outlines were outstanding.
While raising his eyes fixedly.
His demeanor is cold and indifferent, just like the dew in the autumn wind and the frost on the tips, which gives people an inexplicable feeling of being far away from the world.
Qiao Ting frowned slightly.
This strange feeling made her a little confused, but she was so proud of her family background that she didn't bother to ask more questions, which would make her lose her identity.
"Just drink tea."
She turned her eyes and spoke calmly.
"I wonder how to resolve the engagement that your lady mentioned earlier?"
Chen Heng did not pick up the tea cup: "Is it related to the beast head token?"
"Since you know that Yin Eclipse Red Water is my father's inheritance, you must have said it to you specifically by Cui Jingzhong?"
Qiao Ting suddenly sneered:
"My father has always acted wildly and disregarded the clan's etiquette. Back then, he had left a message with the true king. Whoever could break his arrangement and take his Yin Erosion Red Water would be able to join the Qiao family in Zanmi Mountain and marry him.
I am my wife, and the animal head token is a token!
He speaks like a man, so arrogant, but he treats me as a piece of property that can be traded at will and doesn't care about my personal thoughts. How shameful and absurd!"
"Then your lady came here specifically to ask me to reject the marriage?"
Chen Heng spoke clearly.
"You are ugly, have no family background, and rely on the sect. I am a noble girl, how can I be willing to marry you?"
A hint of sarcasm flashed across her delicate jade face, then disappeared quickly, and she said calmly:
"The true king will summon you soon, and he will definitely bring up this marriage. I want you to refuse it yourself, and you will never agree!
certainly.
If you reciprocate your kindness, I will also give you some compensation."
Qiao Ting patted her bare hands lightly.
The maids serving outside the pavilion immediately understood, walked inside, and opened the jade boxes in their hands one after another. The jade boxes were shining brightly and the flowers were very beautiful.
"Fifty thousand spirit shells, ten high-grade talismans, three precious sand dragon buds that can sustain vitality, and my Mishan Qiao's "Tan Hua Jiu Yao Heart Seal Miao Sutra", this classic is enough for you to practice to the realm of the soul.
Already."
At this time.
Qiao Ting's tone softened slightly, as if she didn't want to push too hard, which would backfire in the end:
"Although I don't know what kind of enemy you encountered before, the sword that the True Lord struck for you has slightly damaged his concentration. In the final analysis, I think it is just because you have obtained the beast head.
The token can be entered for the sake of Mr. Qiao from Zanmi Mountain!
Don't be stubborn and greedy.
If you really insist on this marriage, in the end I'm afraid you will lose both your life and money, and you won't be able to gain anything.
after all.
It’s impossible for the True Lord to watch over you all the time!”
After saying this implicit threat, Qiao Tiao said again:
"These are just deposits. If you agree, I will give you generous rewards later."
Seeing the other person, he was silent for a moment.
Qiao Ting waited patiently for a long time, and when she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Chen Heng's slow voice.
"There is no need for wealth."
Qiao Ting frowned, anger rising in her heart, she clenched her fingers tightly and shouted: "How dare you——"
"As for the so-called marriage, if the True Lord asks about it, I will refuse it with all my strength."
Chen Heng didn't seem to see Qiao Tiao's look about to have an attack, and said calmly
These words made her beautiful face change several times, her red lips opened again and again, and she was stunned for a moment.
"I heard from Ding Wei that you are just from a small sect outside the abyss of the earth. Don't act on your ambition for a moment, or you will regret it later... If nothing else, this volume of "Tan Hua Jiu Yao Heart Seal Miao Jing" alone,
It is a source of blessing that most cultivators will never be able to touch in their lifetime."
After a while.
Qiao Ting suppressed the trace of surprise on her face, took a deep look at Chen Heng, and said calmly:
"It's too late for you to take over these treasures. I just pretend that I didn't hear those wild words just now. If you regret it later and come to ask me for help again, you will be truly ridiculous and generous!"
"Thanks for the tip, but it's not necessary. The marriage that your lady talked about is a ridiculous move, and there are countless things to do. And since it is useless, it will naturally not be rewarded."
Chen Heng pulled back his long sleeves, bowed his head, and immediately stood up to leave without any regrets.
Qiao Ting didn't have time to say anything more.
He had already walked out of the pavilion and disappeared.
There was silence for a moment.
Until the tea on the table has completely cooled down and there is no trace of warmth anymore.
A waitress carefully lowered her head and spoke softly to Qiao Tiao, who looked gloomy:
"Girl, that man has actually promised you that he will break off the marriage in front of the true king. Isn't this a good thing? Why are you still so depressed?"
"Since you want to say goodbye to the marriage, why don't you accept the thank you? From my point of view, it's just playing hard to get!"
"Play hard to get?" The waitress was confused.
"Chen Heng thinks that this kind of pretentious and noble behavior can make me take a high look and remember him in my heart? He is really stupid. The country folk are really short-witted and have no knowledge. He deserves to lose his money.
!”
Qiao Ting looked coldly at the gloomy bamboo trees in front of her, unable to see the sky, and there was a hint of evil in her voice:
"It's good that he resigned from the marriage obediently. If he dares to behave in private, even if Cui Jingzhong wants to protect him, I will vow to kill him!"
Having said that.
But I thought of Chen Heng's dark eyes, so indifferent that there was no emotion at all.
Qiao Ting felt restless again for no reason.
Wow!
She suddenly waved her hand and swept all the jade and porcelain tea sets on the table to the ground, smashing them to pieces!
Then without saying a word, he turned around and left.
All the maids were already accustomed to the strange situation. They just looked at each other and quickly followed.
And another place.
Chen Heng walked slowly along the stone steps. The green grass and trees on both sides were rustling and rustling in the wind, and he couldn't help but think in his heart.
"The reason why Qiao Zhenjun rescued me from Yue You was because of my life experience, Senior Ding Xian's talisman, or because of Qiao Zhijie's animal-headed token? And my life experience..."
At this moment, a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
When you raise your eyes.
I saw Cui Jingzhong holding several wooden boxes and waving to him.
"It's useless to think about it. In a few days, when Qiao Zhenjun sees me, everything will naturally come to light..."
He collected his thoughts and walked forward, shaking his head and smiling to himself:
"Now it is only right to practice the Red Lead Great Return Alchemy well. With Senior Brother Cui, a master of alchemy, here to guide you, this is a rare opportunity that you cannot miss!"
…
…
And at the same time.
Beyond the abyss.
Xiaoganshan, Xuanzhen Sect.
Blood and smoke surged into the sky.
Most of the eleven peaks, nine cliffs, and twenty waterfalls and pools have been destroyed.
Looking around, I saw countless corpses lying on the ground, the palace collapsed, the walls collapsed and the house collapsed.
In the atmosphere, the raging fire and the stench of blood mixed together, making it nauseating.
In a circle of blue light, Ai Jian and Chen Ying stood side by side, looking at this tragic scene.
A look of panic.
The other one had a normal expression, but there was an occasional hint of helplessness in his eyes, which quickly disappeared.
"I'm really dead. I really killed Sima Lingzhen and the Taoist Patrolman of the Yuchen Sect..."
After a long moment of stunned silence.
Ai Jian staggered back a few steps, her face was pale, her eyes were bloodshot, and she trembled out a few words from her mouth like a whisper.
"Now, I have cut myself off from the world..."
He spoke complicatedly.
The most conspicuous thing in sight was a Taoist priest with a high crown and fine clothes lying dead at the foot of the hill, still holding a broken White Tiger Sword tightly in his hand.
And inside his body, there is a vicious blood shadow that is greedily devouring the Taoist's flesh and blood. Yuan Zhen will not stop until he is sucked into a dry skeleton and a mummy.
That high-gown and splendid man dressed as a Taoist.
It is Sima Lingzhen who is the patrol Taoist sent by Yuchen to be responsible for the Southern Territory Dao School Examination!
As for the blood shadow...
Ai Jian suddenly shuddered and looked at Chen Ying.
At this time, the fierce blood shadow in Chen Ying's left eye had left the sealing formation and disappeared.
The look in his eyes was dark and inexplicable.
Such is the look of joy shown by man-eating beasts after they are full.
It also seems to be a kind of helplessness that has made up a decision and cannot look back...
"Why, Brother Ai, do you regret it now?"
Sensing Ai Jian's gaze, Chen Ying turned around, patted his shoulder, and said calmly:
"Didn't this idiot Sima Lingzhen deliberately humiliate you and mention Wang Shu and your mentor, which made you so angry that you begged me to kill this idiot?
If you think about it carefully, this is not surprising. It is just that the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear.
He, Sima Lingzhen, is now Xie Chang's capable general. If Xie Chang wants to be promoted to a true disciple of the Yuchen Sect, he will naturally need the help of the elders of the sect. Gu Zhao, who has a deep hatred against your sect, must be
Xie Chang is the one to win over."
"...and I am now exiled to the Southern Territory and have no foundation in the sect. If Sima Ling really humiliates me, not only will there be no trouble, but on the contrary, if it spreads to the Yuchen Sect, it will also make that old dog Gu Zhao
I am so happy that I will surrender my family to Xie Chang's command."
Ai Jian's face turned pale and she said word by word:
"Sima Lingzhen and I are of the same generation and come from the same aristocratic family. Even if the Shangyu Ai clan knows about it, they won't stand up for me too much, right?"
"Everyone says that Brother Ai, you are an ignorant and reckless man. It seems that you still have some brains, but not much."
Chen Ying laughed, clapped his hands again and sighed:
"It's a pity that this time I killed Sima Lingzhen, but it hurt Hou Wen terribly. He hasn't said a word since he joined your sect.
Unfortunately, because of this idiot Sima Lingzhen, half of his blood essence was sucked out by the blood demon I released. It was really a fire at the city gate, which affected the pond fish...
I just hope that this injury will not damage his Taoist foundation, otherwise Chen will really be unable to sleep at night and feel so embarrassed."
"wrong!"
Ai Jian shouted suddenly and interrupted Chen Ying: "No matter how angry I am, I will never ask you to kill Sima Lingzhen! It's you! Chen Ying! It's you!"
He held the silver-eyed sword in his hand and stepped forward, his eyes about to burst:
"It was you who messed up my mind with your phantom magic! You are the culprit!"
Under such a murderous gaze, Chen Ying only chuckled and said nothing.
"..."
After struggling and hesitating for a long time.
Ai Jian still slowly gathered her sharp sword intent and abandoned the sword dejectedly.
Not to mention that he is now no match for the spiritual body of Chen Ying.
And even if he kills.
I'm afraid it won't help anything...
Sima Lingzhen died in his Xuanzhen sect. If word spread, the Sima family and Xie Chang would be furious.
Unless he hides in Shangyu Ai Family, his life will definitely not be saved.
And since the death of my biological father.
He has already broken with his own clan...
Instead of living like a lingering existence, Ai Jian would rather die quickly!
"It seems that you have thought it through? Apart from me, there is no place for you in the world of Jiuzhou. Don't worry, they are just two disciples of the Yuchen Sect. They are not true disciples. I can still cope with it.
."
Chen Ying smiled when he saw this:
"Back then, my father almost provoked all eight sects and six sects, but isn't he still alive and well now?"
Ai Jian looked ugly: "Everyone has been killed. What are you doing here? Why don't you leave? If the news reaches the Yuchen Sect, Xie Chang will be furious!"
"There's no rush, I want to leave too, but there are people who haven't finished killing yet and don't want to leave."
Chen Ying shook his head helplessly and pointed at the bloody shadow that was devouring Sima Lingzhen's body:
"This beast is out of control."
"What are you talking about?!" Ai Jian was shocked.
