When Bai Suzhen and the other two people all sat down, Yan Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“The wait is finally here!”
Half a month ago, Yan Ling came to the West Lake, but when he found Xu Xian, he found that Bai Suzhen had not arrived yet, so he bought a big boat and wandered around the West Lake every day.
Just to wait for the scene where Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian meet across the bridge.
Different from when he first set foot in this world, Yan Ling at that time did not know what his mission was in this world, so everything was focused on stability.
But things are different now. If you want to break through to the Golden Immortal realm, without enough blessings of luck and enough opportunities, you can only succeed through the accumulation of time.
The Golden Immortal Realm is an important threshold in the realm of cultivation, and it is an important realm for cultivators to enter the realm of true immortality. Its difficulty is even greater than that of a mortal becoming an immortal.
If there is no chance encounter, even if Yan Ling has outstanding talent, it will take thousands of years of accumulation and training before he can reach the threshold of the Golden Immortal Realm.
Therefore, in order to accelerate the pace of breaking through the Golden Immortal, Yan Ling had to take the initiative to step into the plans of powerful people such as the White Snake Legend, in order to seize the luck and blessings from them.
Even if he offended some powerful people because of this, Yan Ling couldn't care less about it at this time.
"Anyway, I'm not a loner. Even if the powerful ones are unhappy, they still have to take care of the ancestor behind me!"
Yan Ling had also thought about the powerful ancestor behind him in his daily life, and he no longer knew anything about his identity. It was precisely because of this that he became more and more courageous.
With such an ancient and powerful ancestor guarding him, if he doesn't take this opportunity to strengthen himself, how can he be worthy of the ancestor's respect for him?
Yan Ling thought like this, and looked at Bai Suzhen and the others with a hint of longing in their eyes.
Suddenly, Xiaoqing noticed Yan Ling's creepy eyes, and her hair stood on end as she said, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"Xiaoqing, don't be rude!"
Although Bai Suzhen also noticed Yan Ling's strange look, she did not feel any malice from it. In addition, Yan Ling's cultivation was advanced and far above them, so she quickly scolded her and then turned around and said:
"Please also ask Fellow Taoist Yan Ling not to get to know her in the same way."
Yan Ling also knew that the look in his eyes just now was a bit strange, so he smiled awkwardly and said: "It's okay, Miss Xiaoqing is lively and cute, how can anyone blame her?"
"Really?" When Xiaoqing heard Yan Ling's praise, she felt joyful in her heart, and the expression on her face turned into a smile.
Yan Ling said solemnly: "Of course, if you don't believe me, ask this young master?"
As he spoke, Yan Ling pointed at Xu Xian, who was sitting aside and looking rather reserved.
After noticing that the eyes were focused on him, Xu Xian was slightly startled, and then hesitantly said: "Yes, Miss Xiaoqing has an active personality and is indeed very lovable!"
After getting Xu Xian's answer, Xiao Qing immediately turned to Bai Suzhen and smiled happily: "Sister, it turns out that I am so popular in the world! I didn't expect that the world is not as boring as I thought. Now it seems that compared to the mountain
It’s so much more fun!”
But Xu Xian seemed to be more and more hesitant at this time. Previously, he heard Bai Suzhen call Yan Ling a Taoist friend, and now Xiaoqing said something about "the world" and "the mountain", which made him feel confused.
After hesitating for a while, Xu Xian still opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "Are some of you monks?"
Bai Suzhen and Yan Ling looked at each other, and when they were thinking about how to speak, Xiaoqing already chuckled and said: "Of course we are not monks, we are..."
"Xiaoqing!"
However, before Xiaoqing could finish her words, Bai Suzhen realized that something was wrong, and quickly stopped her, and then said to Xu Xian gently: "Xiaoqing and I grew up in the mountains, so we can be considered half-monks!"
"
Yan Ling was much more direct. He laughed loudly and said: "I am not a monk. At best, I am just a Taoist, and I am also a martial artist!"
"Warrior!"
When Xu Xian heard this, he didn't even care to look at Bai Suzhen, and asked Yan Ling in surprise: "Is he the same martial artist as those martial arts people?"
Xu Xian's brother-in-law, Li Gongfu, was a police officer in Qiantang County. Although he only held an official position as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, he often dealt with people in the world.
Xu Xian has always had a good relationship with her sister Xu Jiaorong and her brother-in-law Li Gongfu. Through their influence, they also learned a lot of anecdotes about the martial arts world.
As the saying goes, which man doesn’t have a martial arts dream?
Even though Xu Xian has no power to tie a chicken, it does not hinder his beautiful yearning for indulgence in the world.
Even Xu Xian thought about learning martial arts from Li Gongfu, but unfortunately, he was already quite old, and his sister and brother-in-law did not want him to get involved in the martial arts world, they just wanted him to spend his life in peace.
"Brother, do you also have some research on martial arts?" Yan Ling said with a smile in his eyes.
"certainly!"
Xu Xian nodded first, then shook his head and said: "It's a pity that my brother-in-law said that I am too young and missed the prime time to practice martial arts."
"Young Master, don't be disappointed." Bai Suzhen consoled her: "Although you are not successful in martial arts, you can still study Chinese literature! After you succeed in your studies, you can still become an upright man!"
"That's right, what's so good about practicing martial arts? Not only is it tiring, but there are so many restrictions, it's not good at all!" Xiao Qing also nodded repeatedly.
In Xiao Qing's view, the world of martial arts is just a group of mortals amusing themselves. Even the strongest martial arts masters are nothing more than weaklings who can be wiped out by just breathing in the face of existences like them.
However, after hearing the comfort from the Bai Suzhen sisters, the disappointment on Xu Xian's face became even more obvious. He smiled bitterly and said: "Young lady, you don't know something. I am born stupid. I have studied essays for many years. Now I am just a boy. I am not even a scholar."
I can pass the exam, but I don’t think I will be able to achieve anything in my studies in this life!”
"..."
Bai Suzhen suddenly didn't know what to say. When she saw Xu Xian looking like a weak scholar, she thought he was a successful scholar, but she didn't expect that Xu Xian turned out to be an ordinary person who was neither civilized nor military.
But just when Xu Xian looked melancholy, Yan Ling suddenly said: "Actually, it's not impossible to practice martial arts at your age. It's just that if you want to achieve something, you have to work harder than others!"
"Really?" Xu Xian was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.
He is now working as an apprentice in a medical clinic. Although he has gained some income and is about to reach the level of becoming a master, Xu Xian will undoubtedly be very happy if he can learn martial arts.
Yan Ling spread his hands and said, "Of course it's true! What's the point of me lying to you?"
"What are the conditions for Brother Yan? Do you need me to become your disciple?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Bai Suzhen frowned, but even Yan Ling hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There is no need to become a disciple. I am just passing on a few tricks to you. Whether you can learn from them depends on you!"
After hearing Yan Ling's refusal, Bai Suzhen's frown relaxed.
If Yan Ling was just an ordinary passerby, what she did would have nothing to do with her. But Xu Xian was not a passerby, but her benefactor in her previous life. As a result, she couldn't let it go!
