In the early morning of the next day, the gastrodia was bright, the north wind was whistling and cold, the quilt was warm, and it was the sweet time for Shu to sleep soundly.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Balian sat in front of the wall and meditated. He opened his eyes and took a look at the sky outside the window.
It was still so early in the morning and there were not many people on the road. Who would come to visit me early in the morning?
Either I don't mean to disturb someone's dream, or I have something urgent to do.
The knocking on the door was not noisy and seemed very polite, but it was continuous and uninterrupted.
Shu Ci, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, was woken up as expected.
Animals' hearing is inherently sensitive. Shu Ci wore a disheveled hairstyle and cold eyes: "Who wakes up so early in the morning and makes people have sweet dreams? Is he too impatient to live?"
Balian stood up and opened the door, only to see a familiar face.
She was dressed in untainted white clothes, and her body was filled with the unique coldness of the morning, like the trickling of an ancient spring, with the slightest hint of coolness.
A pair of eyes as dark as ink were also cold to the bone, as if they could see through people's hearts.
Balian looked at the woman outside the door in astonishment and said nothing.
Su Jing looked as usual and said calmly: "You are Wen Hanwei's new disciple, Ji Xinien?"
Seeing that she didn't recognize him, Balian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've met Senior Sister Su Jing."
Su Jing pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and said, "The sect master's wife will arrive at Shifang City in the afternoon, and she has ordered all the disciples to go together. You must be prepared."
For some reason, her voice was three times louder than usual.
Shu Ci, who was tossing and turning in the room, became even more irritable.
Balian nodded in agreement.
Su Jing didn't say much. After she finished conveying the message and left cleanly and decisively, Shu Ci was left tossing and turning on the bed in an irritable and sleepless state.
Bailian was confused as to Su Jing's purpose of coming, if it was just to inform the sect master about his wife's upcoming arrival.
Why did it take her turn to have her dignified young master Taixuan personally come to inform her.
At noon, Li Banfen arrived at the inn, and Taixuan's disciples all had to solemnly greet him with the courtesy of disciples.
After all, Afutu and Shuci belonged to the demon group, so Bailian placed them in the inn.
Since he wanted to use Ji Xi's identity to act in Shifang City, even if Li Bansheng didn't want to have more interactions, he still had to face each other and deal with it.
Li Bansheng entered the city with his sword and arrived at the inn where he had met. He had not yet entered the inn.
Then he saw the figure in white waiting calmly and independently at the door of the inn.
Seeing this scene, Li Bansheng couldn't help but smile knowingly, and his eyes immediately became warm and soft.
In the past two hundred years, she and her daughter have never been close to each other. Su Jing has been alienated from her relatives due to physical reasons since she was a child.
Ever since the accident two hundred years ago, Li Bansheng knew that he was deeply indebted to her, and there was rarely any heart-to-heart talk between mother and daughter.
Su Jing was used to being a loner. Although he seemed to have a cold temperament, he was extremely crazy and stubborn in his actions.
The knot in her heart was difficult to resolve, and she avoided both her and Su Guanhai. They were clearly close relatives, but they seemed like strangers.
It seemed that the fact that Balian came back alive and reunited with Yin Baishuang was enough for her to let go of the past.
If it weren't for his sudden change of mind, Li Bansheng would not have believed that one day he would be able to be welcomed by her in person.
With a smile on his face, Li Bansheng walked forward lightly, "Ajing, are you waiting for me to be your mother?"
Su Jing turned to look, nodded slightly to Li Bansheng, and said: "The Taixuan disciples who arrived at Shifang City have all arrived. If you have any instructions, please move to the second floor."
Although the words were spoken, there was still a strong trace of politeness and alienation.
But Li Bansheng didn't care, and the news on his face became more and more gentle.
Entering the inn, Li Bansheng, led by Su Jing, asked her about her recent physical condition in a warm voice while walking up the stairs to the second floor.
Suddenly, Li Bansheng's gentle words suddenly stopped.
In just an instant, the Tianling Cap was filled with endless ice and snow.
Her face turned pale, and one of her legs as she stepped up the steps suddenly became stiff and motionless, as if an invisible ghost hand had suddenly tightened her ankle.
This incident happened so suddenly that even Su Jing couldn't help but stare at it and asked: "Aniang?"
Li Bansheng seemed to be extremely uncomfortable, as if he was so angry that he had a secret wound.
She slowly turned her head to look at Su Jing with an extremely ugly face, her eyes were no longer gentle, and her voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth:
"Is that brat Balian here too?!"
Su Jing was startled, as if she couldn't understand when her mother's spiritual sense became so sharp.
Before she could speak, the footsteps of a group of disciples came from the second floor.
Taixuan disciples came out of the guest rooms one after another. They looked at the stairs and greeted each other respectfully: "Disciple, please see Madam."
Li Bansheng recognized Balian standing in the corner among the crowd at a glance, and followed the crowd in calling her "Madam."
Li Bansheng's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, his teeth were clenched, and the veins on his forehead even bulged slightly.
She shouted angrily, her eyes like cannibalism: "You!"
Seeing that her eyes were so pointed, Balian was puzzled for a moment.
He hurriedly stood up, walked closer, bent down and saluted, and said, "Ji, a disciple of Taixuan Nine Classics who entered the house, met the sect leader's wife in the past year."
Li Bansheng looked at Balian with a hateful expression, feeling miserable.
At this moment, Balian's face was skillfully disguised, obviously deliberately concealing his identity.
Li Bansheng did not care about his life or death, but also cared about the feelings of her family A Jing.
No matter how angry he was, he couldn't reveal Bailian's identity in public.
She could only pretend not to know the truth, and said with a trembling voice: "Ji Xiannian, you have a good name...good...good...Hanwei has a unique vision, and accepted you as a good disciple for me, Taixuan.
"
Balian saw that her eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he didn't know what he had done to offend her, so he was about to speak.
At this time, a soft female voice came from outside the inn: "I dare to ask Tai Xuanzong, Ji Gongzi lived in this inn in the past."
When everyone heard the news, they saw a luxurious and noble gold and jade carriage standing outside the door of the inn. Beside the carriage were two women dressed as disciples of the Shifang City clan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The person who just spoke was one of them.
Li Bansheng frowned and looked at Balian: "What's going on?"
How could the clan disciples from Shifang City seek out Bailian?
Balian was also very surprised. Before he could speak, one of the disciples outside the door spread out an album of pictures and compared them one by one in the inn.
Finally, his eyes were fixed on Balian's body, and he couldn't help but smile.
She entered the inn politely, saluted Bailian and said:
"Since Mr. Ji passed the Lord's son-in-law selection test a few days ago, he is the guest of our third lady.
Today is the day when the third lady entertains the nine young men.
Now that the hour has passed, the other eight young masters have all arrived. Why have we not seen Mr. Ji for so long? Therefore, we have been specially sent to welcome him into the city."
Bai Lian looked stunned.
Last night, Jiujiu didn't tell him that today was the day when Fang Geyu entertained everyone.
A test for choosing a son-in-law?
Li Bansheng's eyes widened and he looked at Balian in disbelief, his expression a little excited and angry:
"You actually sent a petition to Shifang City to select your name?! Are you interested in marrying the third young lady of the Fang family?!"
He would rather marry a unruly and indulgent yellow-haired girl than give her infatuated Ah Jing a chance!
Bailian didn't know why Li Bansheng was so excited.
He didn't understand the rules of the Taixuan Sect. Could it be said that the disciples of the Taixuan Sect were not allowed to marry foreigners easily?
In front of the two Shifang City clan disciples, Balian couldn't deny it and just nodded.
Su Jing's expression gradually dimmed and he said nothing.
Li Bansheng glanced at his daughter sadly, as the head of a sect.
She didn't want to have an attack in public, so she just said with a dark face, "This is your own choice, and I can only follow your own wishes."
Bai Lian didn't know that Fang Geyu was hosting a banquet today. He only knew that he was already late and didn't dare to delay any more.
Then he followed the two women into the carriage and drove towards Tiange City.
Li Bansheng looked at the pale Su Jing with hatred.
"It's strange to be a mother. How can I be so honored to have you in such a good mood to welcome me as a mother today?
After all, your good mood has nothing to do with that person! You are tying yourself in a cocoon! You are tying yourself in a cocoon!"
Everyone could not understand why the sect leader's wife was so angry with the young sect leader. She was so angry that she could throw away her sleeves and walk away, as if she had lost her mind and her steps were a little unsteady.
The carriage under me was driving on the streets of Shifang City, with light rain and blue flowers falling along the street. The breeze was gentle, and the branches and vines were swaying in the wind under the dew.
The carriage passed the Zhuque Bridge, and the streets were bustling. Under the red walls and green tiles, the light yellow wisteria flowers were in full bloom. The spring breeze on both sides of the bank was gentle with the catkins, and the delicate fragrance of the flowers came in waves.
The majestic earth city of Shifang Realm, which is famous for its richness, is also quite elegant in the world of mortals.
Driven by the two clan girls, the luxurious and noble carriage finally arrived outside the third Miss Fang's residence in Shifang City.
As soon as Bailian got off the carriage, he saw that there were many heavy iron guards outside the mansion. The mansion was very large and spacious, which was very suitable for Fang Geyu's status.
With the gate as the center, the two palace walls are so far-reaching that the ends cannot be seen from the left and right.
It is more like a high and broad city wall than a mansion wall.
The high walls of this mansion alone reach into the clouds, and every wall tile reflects the luster of textures like scales and feathers.
Astonishingly, it is a high wall built with the scales of the mythical beast Qilin and the feathered spirit weapon of Qingluan.
If any intruder climbs over the wall without authorization, he will be attacked by the aura formation of this high wall.
Every brick and tile here is valuable and carefully designed.
Led by the two female clan disciples, Bai Lian walked through the jade path in the courtyard and saw an extremely large building tower at the end.
Even at ten o'clock at noon, there were still three thousand lanterns hung outside the corridor, and those lanterns were no ordinary lanterns.
The lampshade, which has textures like silk floating clouds, is polished to be extremely thin and light, unlike ordinary paper lanterns.
Those lampshades had the texture of pearls, and no lights were burning in them.
Placed there are all luminous pearls the size of a human head, emitting blue light like the light of the seabed.
Bai Lian has seen the Palace of the King of the Underworld, the Tiansheng Temple, the main peak of the Tianxi Sword Sect, the Empress Palace of the Zhongyou Dynasty, and the Zhaonan Palace of the Taixuan Sect.
They are far less luxurious and majestic than this mansion and tower.
Shifang City truly lives up to its reputation as the most prestigious and wealthy place in the Six Realms.
When the two clan girls came under the tower, they did not dare to walk any further.
He just told Bailian to just hold the red fish jade pendant token, and the journey would naturally be smooth.
As Bai Lian approached the building, he saw eight figures scattered in rows in all directions.
The girl Qiong Yao chose in the first seat was none other than Fang Geyu, whom she had not seen for three years.
A ferret fur cloak wrapped around her little body, and underneath the fur cloak was a magnificent brocade dress woven with gold threads.
The soft and fluffy jet black hair is crowned with a golden hairpin and pearls, and around the slender white neck is an agate emerald. How extraordinarily noble and bright it is.
She looked relaxed at the table, and her naturally aloof eyes were squinting gently to look at people, just like a snow-white and noble Persian cat.
Bai Lian cast his gaze and walked into the upstairs banquet.
Fang Geyu seemed to sense it, and glanced gently at his eyes. His snow-white face, arrogant expression, and eyes were calm and unfamiliar.
Their eyes met each other, as if nothing had happened when they first met in Kongcang Mountain.
Only a little cinnabar mole on the tip of the girl's ear was red and burning, just like when she parted.
Bai Lian's eyes dimmed slightly. Although he was staring at Ji Xinian's identity and skin at the moment, it was difficult for Fang Geyu to recognize him.
But that strange and indifferent look seemed to cruelly remind Balian again.
Her emotions are all sealed, the spider web is a cage, and the dark box is a seal.
And all of this happened because of him.
Even if he stood here with his true appearance, she would still be completely unfazed.
"Are you Ji Xinian?" Fang Geyu's clear and black eyes were like lake water, and the underlying emotion could not be seen to be sarcastic or kind.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He asked a question lightly, and there was a slight sneer in the room.
"A disciple of the Nine Classics of Taixuan, he has such a great background. He is just a mere mortal.
Relying on your own chance, you were lucky enough to get a red fish jade pendant from Lord Fang. Being the guest of Miss Fang San is already a great blessing and a great blessing for you.
I really don’t know where you got such courage. You dared to miss an appointment and be late, and you had to trouble Miss Fang San to personally send the disciples of the clan to pick you up."
The speaker is a young man in blue clothes and brocade robes. His whole body exudes a fairy energy that does not belong to human spiritual power. He is not a mortal.
On his forehead was a brocade inlaid bead of the same color. The small bead had a great origin. It was the curious eye of an ancient ferocious beast.
Bai Lian looked through the historical records of the Immortal Code and remembered that the ferocious beast Qiongqi was destroyed in the hands of the Nanyin Immortal Sea Sea Lord in ancient times.
Judging from the age of this child, it is impossible for him to be the Golden Immortal Sea Lord, but since he can use that Qiongqi Eye as a trophy and wear it as a forehead ornament to show off.
Presumably, it can only be the direct descendant of the Golden Immortal Sea Lord.
But listening to what he said, what made Balian even more concerned was that he said that it was the disciples of Taixuan Nine Classics who won the ninth red fish jade pendant...
This means that before Bai Lian entered the city, Jiujiu had already begun to make arrangements to find someone to take his identity, obtain the jade pendant for him, and win the qualification to enter the curtain.
She actually started planning everything from such an early stage.
A chill ran down Bailian's spine. This woman's mind and city were truly terrifying.
"Why is Pavilion Master Situ so angry? As the host of this banquet, Miss Fang San was not upset and even sent someone to greet him.
This means that as the host, the third lady has no intention of caring about anything, so why should Pavilion Master Situ be aggressive as soon as he comes up?"
The person who spoke for the second time had a clearer voice, but his tone was somewhat familiar.
Bailian heard the sound and went over, and what he saw was a strange young man in a maroon arrow coat, smiling leisurely at him with white teeth.
Balian had never seen him like that before, but those pair of playful and narrow almond-shaped eyes were all too familiar to Balian.
Balian's eyes widened, and under her playful gaze, he suddenly felt that his back was getting even colder. If you like Long Night Walk, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Long Night Walk search novel website
