The Wheel-Turning Master.

Wumuqian is naturally humble and polite. No matter whether he is pretending or not, he is really kind.

He first met Yang Huan's siblings, and then, accompanied by Lin Bai, went to meet Gu Jiuchong.

Anyway, everyone was very polite and treated us with good wine and tea, as if Qiaoshan and Shoutian Pavilion had a very good relationship.

Lin Bai guessed that Wumuqian must have received orders from his master to go south by borrowing Meng Shanhe's name from Yinshan Mountain, and he probably knew that it would be difficult to negotiate, so he came to see the direction of the wind from the south and feel out the thoughts of the Yuanyings.

After a day, no one knew what Meng Shanhe and Jiang Xingchi talked about, but there was no clue anyway. After saying goodbye, he took the people from Shoutian Pavilion and continued to head south.

After accompanying the guests for a day, Lin Bai finally had some free time, so he hurried back to Chunhui Hall.

The two disciples were already waiting.

The matter of the believers is imminent!
Lin Bai sat down, Miaomiao served him tea, Jiang Yu fanned him, and just as he was about to give a lecture, someone came to visit.

Cheng Yuanli came with Jing Situi and Min Hengbo.

After the greeting, the four of them sat down, and Miaomiao and Jiang Yu diligently served tea and water.

"Junior brother, are you teaching the Christians?" Jing Sixui asked with a smile when he saw Miaomiao and Jiang Yu looked honest.

"Oh." Lin Bai sighed and brushed away the teacup. Miaomiao quickly took out the wine glass and poured it with good wine. She was really attentive.

"I feel bad that my disciple is useless and made a fool of himself in public," said Lin Bai.

"Don't worry, junior brother. It's just a temporary victory or defeat. I think my two junior nephews are doing well." Jing Shitui said with a smile.

"It's hard for them to achieve anything great. They have been with me since they were young, but I didn't discipline them enough and indulged them too much. If it weren't for their recommendation, I would have kicked them out long ago." Lin Bai sighed and drank.

"We don't distinguish between superior and inferior people by fighting. My junior brother is good at alchemy, formations, and fighting. How can the two nephews learn all of them?" Cheng Yuanli was a kind man. He smiled and excused Miaomiao and Jiang Yu.

Jing Situi looked at Miaomiao and Jiang Yu again and asked, "Did you gain anything from this exchange with fellow practitioners from outside the region?"

Miaomiao immediately straightened her back and said, "Replying to Senior, I have made considerable progress."

"That's enough. Victory and defeat are common in the military." Jing Situi praised him and asked, "Do you know your own shortcomings?"

"I know." Miaomiao and Jiang Yu replied respectfully.

"Good." Jing Situi calmly guided him, "So what have you learned?"

"I learned that the strongest fist is the most powerful truth." Miaomiao replied.

"That's right!" Min Hengbo praised.

Cheng Yuanli shook his head upon hearing this, not knowing what to say.

"The competition on the field is not a fight between casual cultivators. It is true that one can defeat ten with strength, but everyone is at a similar level, so we must compete with both strength and intelligence." Jing Situi pointed out and asked, "Have you made any preparations before the competition?"

"Of course we have discussed it."

Miaomiao was very well behaved, and looked like an honest person. She said, "My junior sister, Gu Wushang and I had already seen beforehand that the other party was determined to win, and his strength was stronger than the three of us."

"Then how did you do it?" Jing Situi asked again.

"Master once said that Qu Ruyi of the Bagua Mountain of the Yunxia Sect raised many moles. He was the best at gambling on moles, and no one could beat him. People in the world suffered a lot from him. Qu Ruyi repeatedly invited Master's Wife to fight with moles, and he always won and returned with great victory. He was arrogant and insolent. Later, Master's Wife asked Master for advice. Master saw that the moles on both sides were not much different, and were divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. So he asked Master's Wife to use the lower moles against the upper moles, the upper moles against the middle moles, and the middle moles against the lower moles. Master's Wife won two and lost one, and Qu Ruyi left in shame and never dared to talk about gambling with moles again!"

Miaomiao quoted from the classics, and then said: "This time the competition is the same. I am the top rat against the middle rat, my junior sister is the middle rat against the bottom rat, and Gu Wushang is the bottom rat against the top rat."

After he finished talking, the four Jindan were a little stunned. So Gu Wushang, the lower rat, won, but the two of you, one the upper rat and the other the middle rat, lost?
"My nephew... is really good at strategy." Jing Situi thought for a while and finally found words to praise him.

"My junior brother combines teaching with entertainment, and my two junior nephews are able to draw inferences from one example. That's very good." Cheng Yuanli also praised them.

Min Hengbo was a little confused and said, "I see that although Junior Sister is cold, she is very nice to Qu Ruyi. How could they quarrel? Don't make it up..."

Seeing his disciple being praised, Lin Bai felt a little relieved, and then said seriously: "The method you practice is naturally good, but your vision is a little lacking!"

As he spoke, Lin Bai tapped Miaomiao and Xiaoyuer on the forehead one by one, "You two are the middle rats, the lower rats. Gu Wushang is not good at fighting but still wins, he is the upper rat!"

After scolding the man, Lin Bai remembered something and said, "Let's go find Gu Lianzhu to play with! He's the most durable, you two can practice with him!"

"Yes!" Seeing that the matter was over, the two apprentices bowed quickly and ran away quickly.

Lin Bai poured some wine, looked at Jing Situi, and asked, "Senior Meng went to Jiuzha Mountain, what do you think, Brother Jing?"

"I can't make the decision, so I'm too lazy to look at it." Jing Situi said with a smile.

"Do you really want to fight?" Min Hengbo looked at Jing Situi.

"Senior Yan has already taken action, is there any way back?" Jing Situi smiled bitterly, "It all depends on what Senior Meng says this time. My master... my master has had a hard time managing Jiuzha Mountain, and now..." He shook his head and said no more.

Upon hearing this, Min Hengbo shook his head in disdain and said, "Senior Meng from Yinshan is an old friend of Zhou Huishan who was driven out of Shoutian Pavilion, but he still works for Shoutian Pavilion. It's really..."

After all, she took Yuanying's face into consideration and did not say any dirty words.

"There must be a reason." Jing Situi stretched out his hand to pour wine for the three people, and then said: "Shoutian Pavilion is Qu Ruyi, no one can stop him. I just don't know who is the upper rat and who is the lower rat."

"When you are in a torrent, even rats above and below will drift with the tide. We are not even rats. I just hope that those who are betting on rats on the dry shore can end it quickly." Lin Bai said with a smile.

After this was said, no one was speaking.

They drank for a long time and no longer talked about Shoutian Pavilion, nor did they ask about Lin Bai's theft of the treasure. They just talked about geography, customs, and anecdotes.

When night fell, everyone was tired and Jing Si stood up to say goodbye.

"Senior Jiang still needs me to contact you about something. I'll send you some good wine for now. We can drink it tomorrow." Jing Si Tui smiled and took out a letter, saying, "Junior Sister Bi is in the mountains practicing meditation and cannot go out for the time being. She asked me to pass this letter on."

"Brother, that's thoughtful of you." Lin Bai took it.

Min Hengbo watched from the side, sneered twice, and said: "Junior Sister asked you to go to Daoyin Sect when you have time."

Lin Bai quickly thanked Min Hengbo for passing on the message.

After Jing Situi and Min Hengbo left, Cheng Yuanli grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve again.

He knew that he was able to return earlier because of Lin Bai's kindness, but he was an honest gentleman and was not as honest as Jiang Yu.

After everyone left, Lin Bai opened Bi Huanqiu's letter and read it.

He didn't say anything big, just said that he was locked up in Jiuzha Mountain and not allowed to go out. He also asked about Lin Bai's well-being, but didn't mention anything romantic.

After thinking for a while, Lin Bai went to the Water Curtain Cave to find Aunt Gu again.

"The ancestor has gone out." Gu Yao was guarding outside the Water Curtain Cave.

"Where did you go?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Gu Yao spread her hands and tilted her head. "Also, people outside say that you are the old ancestor's lover, you..."

As she spoke, Gu Yao looked at Lin Bai very seriously, from top to bottom. "..." Lin Bai had a headache, "I regard the ancestor as my closest elder! As a member of the Gu family, why do you become a gossip instead of seeking cultivation?"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. It's because you don't have a good reputation..." Gu Yao quickly comforted him, "By the way, you've been back for so long, why didn't you go find Feixue?"

Just when you doubted your ancestor's innocence, you asked me to go find Gu Feixue again?
How can Gu Feixue be as good as your ancestor? Lin Bai felt a headache and asked, "Where is the fairy? Where is Xiuxiu?"

"The fairy has returned home." Gu Yao came forward, stared into Lin Bai's eyes, and said, "The fairy said she wants to recover from her injuries, and no one can disturb her!"

At this point, she added, "Xiu Xiu and Huang Ruhua also went back with you. I saw that there was no one around you. Fei Xue..."

"Going back to Mianlong Mountain to recuperate?" Lin Bai didn't expect the fox to be so heartless. They had been through life and death together, but he just left without saying a word.

"That's right." Gu Yao whispered, "Rumor has it that the fairy stole the secret treasure of the Tribulation Rescue in the Shoutian Pavilion. Now there are so many people watching her, she doesn't dare to stay for long."

"It must be someone from Shoutian Pavilion who spread the news. This will make the fairy never have a peaceful life!" Lin Bai was very angry and couldn't help but think of the fairy's beautiful face as his legal wife who brought peace and prosperity to the country.

"Is it true or false?" Gu Yao asked curiously.

"It must not be true." Lin Bai said.

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Bai was about to leave, but was stopped by Gu Yao again.

"Your apprentice got beaten, and you let the two of them bully Lianzhu? You don't teach your apprentice like that, right? Lianzhu was bullied by them when he was a child, and he is still bullied by them when he grew up. Isn't it a waste of his life?" Gu Yao was very angry.

So only you can beat Gu Lianzhu, but not my apprentice?

"..." Lin Bai was wrong, but he still pretended to be ignorant of the matter and said angrily: "Is this true? I'll go teach them a lesson!"

After leaving this place, Lin Bai turned a corner and went to Sister Huanhuan's cave.

"Sister Huanhuan, you are so nice."

Sister Huanhuan felt even better after she formed the elixir. She felt comforted and all the fatigue from fleeing thousands of miles was gone.

When Wumuqian and others came before, Lin Bai had already met Sister Huanhuan, but there was no way for them to reunite. Now that they had some free time, they came over to celebrate.

Perhaps knowing that Lin Bai had taken a great risk outside, Yang Huan became even more affectionate. He got drunk before drinking and kept pestering Lin Bai.

The two of them talked a lot in private before getting down to business.

“The family has checked the treasure house, and it seems they are preparing for war.” After all, Yang Huan was in the Nascent Soul stage, so he had already noticed something.

After a day of making a fuss, Lin Bai returned to Chunhui Hall, where Miaomiao and Jiang Yu were already waiting.

Just as he was about to take his two disciples to Fengming Mountain, Cheng Shuang came to his door.

"The ancestor gave me your Journey to the North to print, but there are many problems with what you wrote." Cheng Shuang shook his head repeatedly.

"What's the problem?" Lin Bai asked.

"Your Journey to the North is too complicated. It would be fine if you wrote about the geographical specialties and cultural landscapes of each place, and it would be fine if you commented on the pros and cons of each sect, but why did you also write about the customs of the female cultivators of each sect?"

Cheng Shuang looked like he had a headache. "I see that you can't stand the behavior of the old people in Zhou Huishan, and you can't stand the arrogance of Shoutian Pavilion."

"..." Lin Bai also had a headache. After thinking for a while, he pulled Miaomiao and Jiang Yu over and said, "You two go and help. Make corrections before printing. Delete the romantic affairs, write about the arrogant behavior of Shoutian Pavilion, and emphasize the richness of the old land of Zhouhui Mountain."

"I'm the best at this!" Miaomiao was very motivated when she heard that there was a job. "Let's go!" She was about to leave immediately.

"Master, my sister said she wanted to learn Taoism from you." Jiang Yu did not leave. She lowered her head with a slightly red face, obviously not believing what her sister said.

"Your sister is very determined to seek the truth, you should learn from her." Lin Bai taught her a lesson, and said, "I will go to Fengming Mountain first, and then go find your sister."

"It's actually not bad to have a younger sister at home!" Cheng Shuang muttered.

Lin Bai glared at her, drove the three women away, and went to Fengming Mountain again.

Zhu Yushu and his wife came out to greet them, chatted for a while, and then went to Zhu Jianyang's residence.

Zhu Jianyang drove Zhu Yushu out and sat down opposite Lin Bai.

"The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. The war is about to break out again." Zhu Jianyang poured tea for Lin Bai.

The two chatted for a whole day, talking about the chaos in the north and discussing spiritual practice. Then Lin Bai gave a lecture at Fengming Mountain and met with the children sent by Yao Qianyuan, giving him some advice.

Leaving Fengming Mountain, Lin Bai went to Jiang family's Yu Lake.

Ever since Jiang Xingchi gave birth to his baby, he no longer stayed at the Jiang family and moved to Qiaoshan.

Jiang Xiaobai was reluctant to leave his hometown, so he went to serve Jiang Xingchi for a few days just to pretend to be one, and then went back to the Black Tower.

After tasting the delicious fruit on the twigs, Lin Bai wanted to talk about some serious matters, but she kept asking him more.

After trying all kinds of moves, Jiang Xiaobai asked curiously: "You have always been a playboy. Which female cultivator did you offend when you went north this time?"

"I followed your ancestor to work for Qiaoshan. Do you think I was just going there for fun?" Lin Bai immediately frowned and sighed, "It was extremely dangerous. I almost couldn't come back!"

"Okay, okay, I know you've suffered outside." Jiang Xiaobai was surprisingly much gentler. He moved closer and began to serve her carefully.

For a moment, Lin Bai was a little uncomfortable.

Sure enough, Jiang Xiaobai served Lin Bai with a few groans, then he raised his penis and pressed it against Lin Bai, "I heard that you and Patriarch Gu... is that true?"

When I went north before, there were rumors that a mere casual cultivator was favored by the Nascent Soul Patriarch because he possessed rare treasures. Now this rumor has reached Qiaoshan!

"Don't talk nonsense. How can you and I discuss the Yuanying Ancestor? Besides, this is throwing dirty water on the Ancestor!" Lin Bai said righteously.

"Look how scared you are..." Jiang Xiaobai muttered, "I believe you are innocent, but I don't believe you don't have the courage."

She and Lin Bai have the best friendship and know each other well. Seeing that he became excited when Gu Qingshui was mentioned, she naturally guessed what Lin Bai was thinking.

"Senior Gu likes to wear aquamarine palace dresses. I'll try it next time." Jiang Xiaobai said.

After the commotion, the two finally took a break and talked about business.

"Over the past year, my family's businesses have not been selling much to outsiders. We have been accumulating elixirs and magical instruments day and night, and also purchasing them from outside. Now the warehouse is already full." Jiang Xiaobai also knew that a fight was about to break out.

The Northern Expedition to Shoutian Pavilion has become a hot topic. The leaders of various sects and families in Qiaoshan travel to Qiaoshan to gather information.

Some people gave away the good seeds at home overnight, trying to preserve their strength; some people bought all kinds of supplies, intending to make a fortune, but found that the goods were no longer available.

The goods were bought in advance by well-informed people like the Jiang family.

Having tasted the fruits of his labor, Lin Bai returned to Chunhui Hall, where Gu Wushang was already waiting for him.

"Senior, the ancestor asked you to go there." Gu Wushang saluted.

This is to arrange a war! Lin Bai didn't want to fight, but at this point, he had no choice. (End of this chapter)
