Xu Yinglian finished soaking in the hot springs, put on his Taoist robes, and came out, just in time to receive a message from his senior brother.
After meeting Qiu Changtian and listening to him finish the mission, he frowned and asked:
"You're just a soil bug, but you still need to form a team with other disciples? It's not necessary."
"We are all from the same sect. It's rare to meet each other, so it's not an exaggeration to help each other." Qiu Changtian explained with a smile.
If I don’t team up with anyone, how can I show off and increase the synchronization value? Should I just use you to increase the synchronization value?
Isn’t it because senior brother feels sorry for you? You should have pity on junior sister!
Xu Yinglian looked at him suspiciously, obviously not understanding the kindness of his senior brother. After a while, he nodded and said:
"It doesn't matter, I'm here with you anyway."
The two rushed to the downstairs of the restaurant and saw the five outer disciples waiting at the door.
Liu Daoran's face was full of impatience, but when he caught a glimpse of Xu Yinglian, his eyes immediately straightened.
It should be noted that there is no such thing as "black, long and straight" in this world, but the mainstream aesthetic is still heavily biased towards black, long and straight.
The hair should be "dark without pearls and jade", and the skin should be "white without makeup". In short, we advocate natural beauty.
Xu Yinglian's appearance and temperament are undoubtedly at the top of this field.
Wearing white clothes and plain robes, no necklaces. Her complexion is pure and unstained. Her black hair is like a waterfall, and she does not add any hairpins. She only ties it casually with a belt. Everywhere she touches the key points of mainstream aesthetics.
As a result, the three Kunlun male disciples were slightly distracted for a moment, and then they quickly reacted, pretending to straighten their backs and assume a humble and elegant posture.
On the contrary, the other two Kunlun female disciples were originally very happy to see Qiu Changtian back, but when they saw Xu Yinglian's appearance, they immediately became instinctively repelled and a little jealous.
Everyone announced their names again, and when it was her turn, she just said "Xu Yinglian" and stood beside Qiu Changtian without speaking.
"Is it really Xu Yinglian? I don't know if it's true or not." Wen Qin curled her lips and said, and Liu Yiyi beside her quickly pulled her arm, "Keep your voice down."
Looking at Liu Daoran, who had just questioned Qiu Changtian's identity, he was now diligently explaining the mission content to Xu Yinglian together with Lu Zheng.
Hu Haozhi believed that he was one year above everyone else and could not condescend to explain, so he just kept nodding and said, "What they said is right, I agree with it."
"I just listen to Senior Brother Qiu." After these male disciples finished talking, Xu Yinglian said indifferently.
Seeing that the three of them were embarrassed, the two female disciples couldn't help but cover their mouths and started laughing.
Everyone raised their swords with their own thoughts and flew towards Laolongling.
Along the way, there are high-altitude grasslands, cattle and sheep herds, and herders’ tents dotted there. In the distance are the blue fields and the snow-capped peaks, giving people a refreshing feeling of “the world is so vast.”
Considering that there were exactly seven people in the team, Qiu Changtian wanted to say "Seven swords descending from the Tianshan Mountains", but considering that no one would understand this idea, he had no choice but to give up.
It was outrageous to say that during the trip, in order to test the synchronization mechanism of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon, he chatted with several female disciples in the team and introduced the allusion of Laolongling.
Wen Qin and Liu Yiyi flattered him by praising him for being "knowledgeable", but the synchronization value remained unchanged.
Xu Yinglian snorted coldly and said, "Brother, do you think I don't know this?" As a result, the synchronization value increased to 79%.
Obviously, even though they were pretending to be cool in front of others, the two outer sect female disciples didn't really think he was powerful, they just pretended to admire him to please him.
However, Junior Sister Xu did not know the allusion of Laolongling, and was very concerned about losing to her senior brother in terms of knowledge and knowledge, so she contributed a little synchronization value.
That’s why my junior sister is really cute. Who are you outer disciples?
Rubbish!
Fortunately, I brought my junior sister with me on this trip!
Closer to home, to the north of the main peak of Laolong Ridge, there is a long and narrow valley called "Dazhi Valley".
There is a river in Dazhi Valley, which the locals call "Luotuo River".
The Lingshi Mine is located at the source of the Luotuo River. Several deacons and a large number of miners are standing outside the mine, with worried faces on their faces.
After Qiu Changtian's seven people landed, the deacons hurriedly stepped forward, as if they had found a life-saving straw, and said happily:
"The immortals are finally here!"
"Don't be in a hurry." Qiu Changtian said warmly, "We have limited time, so let's talk about the monsters one by one first."
Lu Zheng was a little unhappy when he heard this, because he originally wanted to ask about this, but Qiu Changtian beat him to it, making it seem like he was leading the team.
However, if he argued with this person, he would definitely be ripped apart by other female teammates. Liu Daoran's fate was still ahead of him, so he remained silent and listened to the stewards' details.
It turns out that almost a few days ago, a miner suddenly disappeared in the mine, and there was a faint flash of blood deep in the mine.
The deacons thought it was some kind of wild beast, such as a cave bear, so they organized a team of miners to go in and investigate.
As a result, man-eating soil crickets were found inside.
Monsters are different from wild beasts. The latter can be shot with bows and arrows, but the former must use flying swords.
Therefore, the deacons hurriedly reported it to the sect, and the deacon hall issued a task to the Qi Refining level disciples.
After listening to the report, everyone went to a place alone to discuss.
"What do you think?" Lu Zheng learned the lesson just now and raised the topic before Qiu Changtian could speak, trying to preside over the discussion.
"What else can we do? It's just a soil bug, just go in." Hu Haozhi had a look of impatience on his face.
"What do you think, Senior Brother Qiu?" Wen Qin asked with a smile.
"It would be fine if it was just a soil bug." Qiu Changtian said seriously, "But do you still remember? The deacon said that on the day of the incident, there was a faint flash of blood in the cave."
He called the deacons over again and asked them again. The deacons confirmed that there was blood in the cave at that time.
"Then here's the question." Qiu Changtian pushed away the deacons and said calmly, "The earth crickets don't know the five spirit arts, so where did the blood light come from?"
"Bloodlight is just an adjective," Lu Zheng objected. "It may be the light reflected from the blood splashed on the wall after the mole attacks its prey."
The long autumn days are simply speechless.
How big a hole does one have to have in the brain to think that blood light is the light reflected by blood?
I repeatedly confirmed with the deacons about the "bloody light". Were you not there and didn't hear it just now, or did you have bad ears?
"Oh, this 'Senior Brother Qiu' must be scared, right?" Liu Daoran next to him began to mock again.
Xu Yinglian raised her eyebrows, looked at the man in surprise, turned to Qiu Changtian and asked in a low voice:
"What's wrong with this guy?"
"He thinks I'm fake." Qiu Changtian also replied in a low voice.
"Indeed." Xu Yinglian thought for a moment and said calmly, "Which inner disciple would come out to practice at the Qi Refining Stage?"
"Yes, aren't you and me?" Qiu Changtian said.
Seeing them whispering intimately like a couple, the faces of the five outer disciples beside them couldn't help but turn dark.
This...we all belong to the same sect, how can we be so unkind?
