The reason why she likes to protect her shortcomings is simply because Su Jian's words and deeds subtly instilled some traditional concepts into her, such as "the master should protect the apprentice", "the father should protect the children", "the senior sister should protect the junior brother" and so on.
However, the junior brother's cultivation strength exceeds that of the senior sister, what should we do?
If Su Jian were to evaluate her, she would say, "This senior sister is really not up to par."
After all, in Su Jian's view, I take care of you because I am older than you and stronger than you, so this is what I should do.
But if I am older than you but weaker than you, then who should take care of whom? Without the dignity of senior sister, this ethical relationship will be in chaos!
Because of this, An Zhisu has been feeling depressed these past few days, and has also drank a lot of wine.
Ling Yunpo saw it, guessed the clues, and was secretly worried.
The job of guarding the Demon Locking Tower is once every ten days, and it takes a whole day each time. Basically, there is nothing to do.
Although he can take advantage of his position to play inside the Demon Locking Tower, Ling Yunpo, as a Jindan master, does not have a high demand for external objects like the foundation-building realm, and he does not look down on ordinary cultivation resources.
, so I can only pass the time by practicing swordsmanship with my senior sister.
As a result, after practicing for a long time, I found that my senior sister seemed to have become weaker... Oh, no, it was me who had become too strong.
The true energy of the first-grade golden elixir is so powerful that it cannot be compared with that of the second-grade golden elixir. Coupled with the talent bonus of the natural sword bone, its performance in swordsmanship training is "infinite strength" and "nothing can be controlled".
No matter how exquisite Senior Sister An's swordsmanship is and how sharp her consciousness is, if she can't even block Ling Yunpo's sword, then there's no need to fight.
Ling Yunpo sensed something was wrong. He had originally restrained his strength, but found that Senior Sister An seemed to be unable to stop her, so he restrained his strength a little more.
After this, An Zhisu Tiansheng Jianxin sensed something was wrong. He guessed that his junior brother was deliberately letting him go, and he felt a little more painful in his heart.
Not long after, she asked the sect to go out for training.
Master Jindan's application to go out for training is like a migrant worker's application for annual leave. It belongs to his legitimate rights and interests. Naturally, the sect cannot refuse easily, so he happily approved it for three months.
When Ling Yunpo learned that Senior Sister An was going out, he quickly took three months' leave and followed Senior Sister An out of Shushan.
"Where are you going, Senior Sister?" He caught up from behind and asked, "Now that the Demon Cult has just attacked me, Shu Mountain, there may be an ambush outside. It's too dangerous. How about I accompany Senior Sister?"
"This, that..." An Zhisu hesitated.
"Could it be that Senior Sister has discovered some clues to the ruins and is planning to explore them on her own?" Ling Yunpo looked stern.
An Zhisu fell silent, and Ling Yunpo suddenly shouted in his heart, "Wow, how can this not be true?", but said sadly on his face:
"Since senior sister doesn't want to take me there, it makes sense to think about it. Forget it, junior brother, I'm going back to Qingluo Peak."
After saying that, he made a gesture to leave, but An Zhisu grabbed his arm and said quietly:
"That's all, I won't hide it from you, just come with me."
The two of them moved forward with their swords together, and An Zhisu said truthfully:
"The place I want to go this time is an island in the South China Sea."
"This island was mentioned in the classics left behind by the master, saying that there lived an ancient swordsman on it who was willing to entertain Jindan Daoist from the mainland of China, so I wanted to go there and look for an opportunity."
"That's it." Ling Yunpo nodded and said, without asking why Senior Sister An didn't plan to tell him about this in the first place - if he didn't eat alone, how would he have the chance to surpass his junior brother in cultivation and regain the dignity of being a senior sister?
Huh, I haven't caught you yet.
"Is it okay if I go with my senior sister?" he asked pretending to be embarrassed.
"Whether we can find that island is still a matter of speculation." An Zhisu sighed and said, "I heard that the location of the island is not fixed, but will keep changing. The master used to escape from the enemy and accidentally hit it.
I accidentally wandered there and had a strange encounter. Later I turned back again to look for it, but found that I couldn't find it..."
The two of them flew at high speed with their swords, bypassing the hundreds of thousands of mountains in southern Xinjiang, and finally arrived at the South China Sea.
An Zhisu followed the route left by Su Jian before, leading Ling Yun to the southeast, sometimes to the southwest, and finally stopped on a vast sea. He recalled and thought:
"According to what Master said, it's basically around here."
"Why is there no island?" Ling Yunpo scanned the surroundings and asked strangely.
"I think it depends on chance." An Zhisu sighed and said, "Why don't we search separately and see if we can stumble upon that island."
"Looking blindly like this is not like finding a needle in a haystack?" Ling Yunpo pondered slightly, then smiled and said, "Senior sister, do you know how to find an island as quickly as possible in this sea?"
"What method?" An Zhisu asked blankly.
"Of course it's with the help of flying birds." Lingyun Po Zhizhu was in hand, confident, and his eyes were bright, and he said calmly, "As flying birds travel on the sea, they need to often find islands to stop and rest, otherwise they will fall into the sea after exhaustion, so most seabirds only
It can move between islands and will not fly around casually."
"As long as we can follow the migration direction of birds, we can find nearby islands as quickly as possible. This is always more efficient than a blanket search."
"So that's it." An Zhisu suddenly realized it and praised him sincerely, "Junior brother, you are so smart! I never thought of this."
"Also." Ling Yunpo continued to add, stroking his hands and smiling, "Since almost no one has heard of this island before, then even if it appears, it will definitely appear in an inaccessible place."
"The further south you go in the South China Sea and the farther away from China, the less explored the area is. Therefore, we can go all the way south from here and follow the seabirds to find nearby islands and investigate them one by one."
"Junior brother, you have thought it through very carefully." An Zhisu nodded, gave up thinking and said, "Then I will listen to you."
The two of them headed south with their swords, spreading their spiritual consciousness along the way to scan the distance, looking for any traces of seabirds.
They found six or seven islands in a row, all of which were uninhabited islands with original ecology that humans had never set foot on. An Zhisu was relatively calm, but Ling Yunpo was a little irritable, so he asked Kunlun Jing in his mind:
"Miss Shi can figure out the location of the Donghua sect, but you can't figure it out, Ah Jing, right? You can't, right?"
"Nonsense." Kunlun Jing said lazily, "I'm just a mirror, how can I master arithmetic? If I know everything, do I need you to patch up the sky for me?"
"Wow, Ah Jing, you are such a waste!" Ling Yunpo said dissatisfied, "You can't help me with this little thing, so what do I need you for?"
Kunlun Jing suppressed his anger and asked Qing Ping:
"Do you know the island where the ancient sword immortal lived?"
"If it's a swordsman who lives in seclusion in the South China Sea, I know one." Qing Pingjian said with a smile, "As for whether he is the one your master met back then, I don't know."
