In Weicheng, it is the time when the ice and snow melt and spring flowers bloom.
The master and apprentice found an inn to stay. Tong Yan contacted He Zhan and the others in advance and learned that he would take a medicinal bath in the afternoon, so he arranged to meet in the evening.
Taking advantage of his free time during the day, Tong Yan went to the elixir shop and sold all the unused spiritual plant elixirs. Then he went to the auction house and put the Luoyang Sword up for auction.
The sudden sale of the sword was because Qin Shu wanted to kill her before. Although the specific reason is not clear yet, among the people he killed, Luo Xuan's Nine Swords was the only connection point.
After careful consideration, she decided not to do anything else and sold it herself.
She wanted to see what Qin Shu would do without the sword, whether he would follow the sword to find its current owner, or whether all the sword owners before and after him would be targets.
After doing this, Tong Yan did not go back to the inn, but went out of the city to the small courtyard outside the city in Ji Xing.
Unfortunately, she was not at home, so she had to retrace her steps and returned to the inn.
Not long after I came back, He Zhan and Xiaolou arrived.
The two of them were very surprised to see Shang Xun also in the inn. He suddenly disappeared a few years ago, and there was no news during that period. He even made the sect master angry at Tong Yan. Now he suddenly appeared again, and they were not mentally prepared at all.
How can we not be surprised.
"Young Sect Master!" Two voices shouted in unison, saluting properly.
Shang Xun glanced lightly and nodded lightly, "Sit down."
Tong Yan ordered dinner in advance, the two of them sat down, and the dishes just happened to arrive one after another.
During the dinner, He Zhan whispered to Tong Yan: "I didn't expect that Sister Yan, you really found the young sect leader. You were punished for three months for this. Now that you have found him, I don't know if it counts as meritorious service and whether there is any reward."
Tong Yan paused while picking up the vegetables and glanced at He Zhan. Is this the time to say this? And it was in front of Shang Xun. Is it because he was afraid that he wouldn't hear?
I quickly took a look at my chef and saw that he was slowly (?) eating his food. He didn't seem to be paying attention. He probably didn't hear me. I was relieved.
After receiving Tong Yan's angry glare, He Zhan immediately realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing. Then he showed an expression of knowing his mistake and obediently turned back to eat. However, when he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth quietly raised.
The dining table is not big, and they are so close to each other. Even if you deliberately whisper, others can definitely hear the sound. Moreover, the monk's ear is extraordinary, and he can distinguish the specific location even if a pin drops in the room...
I believe that the young sect leader has listened to his words completely.
He couldn't let Sister Yan's punishment go in vain.
Perhaps because of the presence of Shang Xun, He Zhan and Xiao Lou were somewhat reluctant to let go. They each ate the dishes in front of them without anyone speaking.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Tong Yan thought about the topic and took the lead in breaking the silence, "Azhan, how is your body recovering recently? How long will it take for the treatment to end?"
He Zhan smiled slightly, his blue eyes shining brightly under the light, "It's no longer a serious problem. I can now use my spiritual power normally. I told Master Kong that taking a medicinal bath for ten days will completely remove the spell.
"
"That's good." Tong Yan nodded. It just so happened that the auction was only held in four days. On the sixth day, we went to get the spiritual stones for auction. The time would basically overlap. "We will go back together after your treatment is completed."
He Zhan glanced at Shang Xun's position and told Tong Yan, "I'm afraid we won't be able to leave in ten days."
Tong Yan: "Why, what else do you have to do here?"
"No, I heard them talking about the birthday of the head of the Yi family when I was in the temple. The young sect master is in Weicheng, so he will definitely go there for a visit."
The Yi family is engaged in business and has good cooperative relations with various sects. It is the birthday of the leader of the Yi family, and Shang Xun does have a reason to go there.
"Master, will you go to the Yi family's birthday?" Tong Yan turned to Shang Xun and asked.
Shang Xun took a sip of tea slowly and replied to her, "Go, the invitation was delivered recently, just keep it."
"Okay." Tong Yan agreed. Remembering that he hadn't asked when his birthday was yet, he added, "How many more days are there?"
He Zhan promptly told him, "There's still half a month left."
Early the next morning, Tong Yan saw the servants of the Yi family. He thought they were just here to send invitations, but unexpectedly they invited their master and apprentice to be guests at his house.
The leader of the Yi family said eagerly: "Our lady learned that the girl is in Weicheng, and when she went out, she told us to invite you back."
Yi Wei? The last time we met was several years ago. Is the friendship between them that deep?
Tong Yan raised his eyebrows and did not agree immediately. He only said that he would listen to his master in everything.
The Yi family expressed their willingness to wait, and showed an attitude of not giving up until their goal was achieved. Tong Yan asked them to sit down and drink tea while he ran upstairs to find the master.
Shang Xun raised his eyelids, "Do you want to go?"
"I don't particularly want to..." Tong Yan chuckled, winked playfully, and said jokingly, "The Yi family is considered to be a wealthy family in the world of cultivation. I'm just curious whether all the wealthy families use spiritual stones to pave the floors in their homes."
Shang Xun cursed angrily: "You're worthless!"
Either he, the Mosha Sect, was poor or had treated her badly, so why did he raise such a traitor with an eye for money?
"Then master, take me to see the world?" Tong Yan asked shamelessly.
After glaring at her, Shang Xun stood up and said as he walked: "I, the young master, cannot bear to see my apprentice acting uninformed."
The Yi family downstairs were still waiting, occasionally looking up to the second floor, but there was no trace of impatience on their faces.
Seeing the two people coming downstairs, they immediately stood up and greeted them.
"Master Shang Shao."
Shang Xun nodded slightly and said nothing. The leader of the cold and noble group looked at Tong Yan uncertainly. After receiving her nod, he quickly led the way.
The luxurious carriage drove for a while and finally stopped at the gate of Yi Mansion.
The master and apprentice got off the carriage, entered the gate, and were invited into the living room. The luxurious and grand decoration style along the way really feasted Tong Yan's eyes.
As expected, he is worthy of being the boss who has opened auction houses and shops all over the world. Not only are the trenches, but the trenches are also tasteful and stylish, including the spiritual stone paving and flooring.
As soon as you enter the door, you are filled with the rich and pure spiritual energy. After passing by the courtyard, it is like taking a breath of fairy air, and you are instantly energized.
Because the head of the Yi family left for work early in the morning and would not come back until late evening, the people who met them were Mrs. Yi and her daughter, Miss Yi Wei.
As soon as they met, Yi Wei greeted her quietly. She originally wanted to come directly, but after looking at her mother, she took back her right foot that took half a step.
Tong Yan smiled back, then followed Shang Xun honestly and took his seat.
While Shang Xun was chatting with Mrs. Yi, Tong Yan glanced at Mrs. Yi without any trace.
She looks like she is in her early thirties, has a quiet and elegant temperament, is generous in manners, and is dressed solemnly but not luxuriously. Simply put, she has the aura of a matron of a family.
Yi Wei's eyebrows are very similar to hers, as if they were carved from the same mold. At first glance, she thought the two were sisters, but the difference between them was still very obvious. There were a few wrinkles in the corners of Mrs. Yi's eyes, and her skin was unexpectedly
Pale, like someone who has been bedridden for a long time.
The most different thing is the pair of eyes. Her eyes are mature and indifferent after years of experience, while Yi Wei's eyes are lively and energetic.
Realizing that the little girl sitting below was looking at her, Mrs. Yi gave her a gentle smile.
Tong Yan, who was caught, smiled calmly, then quickly lowered his head to drink tea to keep calm. When he looked up again, he found that his master was looking at him.
Well, she shouldn't be too curious and want to see what kind of person Ji Xing's stepmother is.
Before meeting the person, she imagined many types in her mind, such as aloof, scheming, gorgeous, a strong woman who dominates the room, etc., but she did not expect this kind of extremely gentle person.
