The fog lifted in the early morning, and the sun shone into the house through the window lattice, spreading on the face.
Bai Mengjin woke up in the warmth and found that he had fallen asleep leaning on the couch.
After returning from Xuanbing Palace, she entered a state of leisure. She limited her practice to half a day every day, and spent the rest of the time either wandering around or in a daze.
Days like this are rare for her. She has never been idle since she entered Taoism in her previous life. At first, she was fighting for a place to go to Danxia Palace, and later, in order to stand out among her disciples, she even practiced diligently after she defected from the master.
, working hard every day.
Many things have changed in her past life. The current situation was something she had never imagined when she came to Wuji Sect.
Eating and drinking, hanging out and playing every day, and sleeping whenever she felt like it was a relaxation and lightness she had never experienced before.
On the promenade on the lake, the two sisters sat opposite each other. Bai Menglian handed over a cup of tea: "Come, try our newly roasted spiritual tea from Taohua Peak."
Bai Mengjin took a sip and nodded: "The tea has a floral fragrance. Did you use a new technique?"
"Yes! Do you remember Senior Sister Yu who runs a teahouse at the foot of the mountain? She invented it. There is also a way of eating it by mixing it with milk and sugar, which is very popular among the disciples."
Bai Mengjin smiled and replied: "I'll try it another day."
After talking about some sect gossip, Bai Menglian thought about it: "Why is it so quiet here? Where are the others?"
Bai Mengjin replied casually: "Young Sect Leader and Baili went to Zixiao Palace. Senior Sister Ji went home to visit relatives. She was injured in Jingguo. I guess Valley Master Ji will keep her here for a while, so I've been quiet recently."
"That's it." Bai Menglian grabbed a handful of dried fruits, put them on the tea stove to bake, and suddenly said, "Second sister, you are a little different."
Bai Mengjin raised his eyebrows and looked over.
Bai Menglian looked into her eyes: "You used to be very tense, as if you were being driven by something, but now you are much more relaxed."
Bai Mengjin smiled: "You have become a god! In the future, you will no longer be afraid of being controlled by others, so you will naturally relax."
"That's true." Bai Menglian sighed with emotion, "Looking back at my youth, I never expected that the future would be like this. I always thought that we would go to Danxia Palace."
"Who says it's not?" Bai Mengjin murmured, holding the tea cup.
While chatting, Ling Bufei came back.
"Sister is here!" he greeted.
Bai Menglian stood up to greet him, intending to say goodbye.
Ling Bufei raised his hand to stop him: "I have nothing to do, let's continue chatting."
Bai Menglian thought about it and found that there was nothing to avoid, so he sat back and said, "Young Master, it's fine if you don't think I'm in the way."
"How could it be?" Ling Bufei raised his hand to pour her tea, "Xiao Ji is not here, and my place is too quiet every day. You come to talk to Meng Jin, just to pass the time."
When Ji Xingge was around, he always thought she was noisy, but when she left, he thought about her benefits again. Miss Ji made some food, drinks and fun every day, and everyone enjoyed the benefits without bothering.
"By the way, has she written a letter? How is her injury?" Ling Bufei asked casually after mentioning it.
Bai Mengjin replied: "There is a letter, and most of it is complaining about Valley Master Ji not letting her go out. It doesn't matter if she is injured. Their Ji family's martial arts are special, and they will be fine after a while."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, without home every day, Valley Master Ji may regret sending her here."
Speaking of this, Bai Mengjin had something to say: "Do you know why Senior Sister Ji doesn't go back?"
Ling Bufei met her eyes and tentatively pointed in a certain direction.
Bai Mengjin put his hands on his hands and laughed: "Sure enough, you discovered it! Something terrible seemed to have happened when I was asleep."
While peeling the dried fruit, Ling Bufei said: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that we live and die every day, and it's inevitable to rely on each other. The main thing is that when they were in Jingguo, the two of them were in trouble together. That's the key."
"Oh..." Bai Mengjin said thoughtfully, "I'll go back to Senior Brother Ying to check on him."
Bai Menglian listened to the conversation and interjected: "Are you talking about Senior Brother Ying and Senior Sister Ji?"
"yes!"
Bai Menglian said matter-of-factly: "Didn't they two become friends a long time ago?"
As soon as these words were spoken, both Bai Mengjin and Ling Bufei stopped moving.
"When did it happen? Why didn't I know?" Ling Bufei asked.
"No?" Bai Menglian touched his chin, "Senior Sister Liu Zhi said that Senior Brother Ying's fan pendant is the Phoenix Jade of the Ji family. You shouldn't give this thing to others casually, right?"
Ling Bufei said "Ah" and suddenly realized: "I understand, they have always been interesting, but they just haven't exposed it. Senior Brother Ying's arrogant character will definitely think about it many times before confirming it."
Bai Mengjin agreed: "Senior Sister Ji, it's better to go home and let Senior Brother Ying think more."
"Oh, Master Ji Valley will finally have a son-in-law from the Wuji Sect." Ling Bu was very happy.
The three people gathered together to guess when their affairs would be brought to the table, where the wedding wine would be served, etc...
After finishing speaking, Bai Mengjin finally remembered to ask more serious questions: "By the way, how is the faceless man?"
"Nothing." Ling Bufei said lazily, "Xuanbing Palace is in bad luck this time. It will probably take hundreds of years to get back to normal. There is no news about those faceless men now, but after this battle, the nearby
All the monsters have disappeared, and I can live peacefully for a while."
Bai Mengjin nodded. With this result, the fight was not in vain.
"Have you studied that demonic body?" she asked.
Bai Menglian pricked up her ears. Demon body? Did you mean Uncle Ling? She was so curious.
Ling Bufei's voice was a little deep: "Uncle Master, it is basically confirmed that it is my father's body."
Bai Mengjin remained silent and drank tea slowly.
Bai Menglian couldn't hold back and asked: "So, is it really that Master Ling's body was taken by the Faceless Man?"
"According to the current clues, this is the case." Ling Bufei replied, "It is just a processed body. My father's soul is not inside. The aura on his body has also changed a long time ago, which does not prove that Zi Shu is him."
Bai Menglian nodded and asked: "Young Sect Leader, are you going to Minghe next?"
Ling Bufei raised his eyebrows: "How do you know?"
Bai Menglian said matter-of-factly: "Uncle Ling disappeared in Minghe, so naturally we should go to Minghe to find out what happened. Where was his body obtained by others? If we find the burial place, we might be able to figure out the cause of death."
Am i right?"
Bai Mengjin glanced at Ling Bufei and nodded: "Sister is right. The cause of Uncle Ling's death is a mystery, and we must investigate it, otherwise there will be no way to avenge the murder of his father."
Ling Bufei peeled the dried fruit in silence, and after a while he said: "The cause of my father's death has troubled me for a long time, and now it's good to face it head-on. After finding out the truth and avenging the rightful revenge, I won't have to bear this stigma in the future."
