I picked up the scattered attributes

Ling Jieyu's words caught in her throat, and she shivered unexpectedly.

The girl asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Senior Brother...who are these two...?"

Bai Canghai slapped his forehead and came to his senses: "Oh right, I forgot to introduce you. This is the senior we met on the way. He is a reclusive king, and this is his Daoist partner, Zhu Youniang."

Feng Xia raised an eyebrow: "A Daoist partner?"

Zhu Youniang subconsciously licked her lips: "Eat it?"

Feng Xia: "..."

"oh oh……"

Ling Jieyu's complexion improved considerably. She gently patted her bulging chest, obediently nodded slightly, and bowed to Feng Xia and the other person, saying, "Junior Ling Jieyu greets Senior Feng."

"The young lady is quite good."

Feng Xia nodded calmly, trying his best to show a kind smile: "You don't need to be so afraid. Most of the time, I am a very kind person. If you don't believe me, ask your Senior Brother Bai."

Bai Canghai, whose chest still ached slightly, twitched at the corner of his mouth before nodding to Ling Jieyu with a wry smile: "That's right, Senior Feng is indeed a very kind person. When I'm not in the sect, he will come to Qianqiu Valley as a guest..."

"Senior brother... what do you mean by that?"

The junior sister's expression finally changed.

The unease in my heart finally materialized into reality at this moment.

"I..." Bai Canghai took a deep breath and said, word by word, "I have decided to leave Qianqiu Valley and from now on, I will travel the world as a rogue cultivator."

"This...this is impossible! Senior brother, you must be...lying to me..."

Ling Jieyu's eyes widened suddenly.

Immediately, her body swayed slightly, as she was so shocked that she temporarily lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Junior sister!"

"Junior Sister Ling!"

"Junior Sister has fainted! Someone come quickly and lend a hand!"

The people of Qianqiu Valley were instantly thrown into chaos.

At this moment, only two figures remained completely still, calmly observing everything as if they were colleagues who had nothing to do with it.

Feng Xia had one hand behind his back. As he looked around, he suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his temples, saying with a hint of uncertainty, "This junior sister seems to have a problem."

Zhu Youniang nodded with a similarly solemn expression: "Then can Daoist partners eat it?"

"……cannot."

"Tsk, what's so good about it? These human rations are awful."

"...Can we talk about something else at a time like this? I have a feeling there's something wrong with this junior sister..."

"Okay, can this junior sister eat it?"

"..."

Zhu Youniang's speaking style remained as straightforward as ever, causing Feng Xia, the listener, to grimace: "Could we change the subject and not talk about food anymore?"

Zhu Youniang didn't refute, but turned her head and looked at Feng Xia with a serious expression:

"Then am I your Daoist partner?"

"...Not at the moment."

Feng Xia finally realized—

It was a complete mistake to have a serious conversation with Zhu Youniang!

This girl is not only exceptionally eloquent, but also often has remarkably unique ways of thinking...

"Should I say that it's definitely not human? Its way of thinking is so different from that of humans."

Feng Xia shook his head, both amused and exasperated. At that moment, after some emergency treatment, his junior sister Ling Jieyu had woken up, though her face was still pale and her big eyes were filled with tears.

It implies that he'll cry if I don't explain myself clearly.

Seeing this, Bai Canghai could only sigh: "In short, let's return to the mountain gate first, and we can talk about everything after we get back to the sect."

Half a day later, having gained nothing from the Forsaken Ancient Land, the group finally embarked on their journey back to their sect.

The sun and moon change, the stars shift and the constellations move—

At the foot of Canglan Mountain, ancient trees stretch to the sky.

"What...what did you say, brat?!"

A furious roar, filled with shock and rage, boomed like thunder from the heavens, suddenly echoing from a deep valley, shaking down a carpet of withered leaves and startling the birds in the forest.

"Bai! Cang! Hai! Do you even know what you're saying?!" The voice rose another eight octaves, sounding like rolling lava, turning into a wave of heat rushing towards you!

"You are... betraying the sect!"

"I see."

Bai Canghai's voice followed, low and hoarse, yet filled with unprecedented determination.

"Very good...very good! You've gotten too bold, haven't you? Letting you lead a team out once, you've grown bolder, haven't you?" After a long silence, the voice finally managed to squeeze out a suppressed sentence, "My disciple wants to leave the sect...was it you, you bastard, who instigated him?!"

A dignified middle-aged man suddenly turned around, his gaze sharp as a knife, his voice like a sword, and with a wave of his hand, he condensed into magnificent sword energy!

The Secret Technique of Thousand Autumn Valley - Spring and Autumn Qi Sword Art!

Boom——

The violent sword energy tore through the air, as if it could cleave through the ages, grazing a tree more than ten feet away from Feng Xia, shredding the tree and the rocks behind it into dust.

Zhu Youniang poked Feng Xia's waist: "Is this guy...blind?"

Just then, Bai Canghai's helpless voice came: "Master, you've forgotten to wear the Glass Mirror again..."

……

Chapter 0018

"He's not blind, he just has slightly poor eyesight."

Feng Xia replied to Zhu Youniang without saying a word.

In fact, before he traveled through time, this situation had a more common name:

Shortsighted!

Of course, since Feng Xia didn't know anything about Bai Canghai's master, he figured it was possible that the master had presbyopia...

He truly hadn't expected that in this other world where supernatural beings existed, he would actually encounter someone with nearsightedness; it was definitely a spectacle in the world of transmigrators.

"But if you think about it carefully, since there are all kinds of deaths and injuries in the world of supernatural beings, minor problems like nearsightedness are naturally possible as well."

Feng Xia pondered to himself.

At the same time, he carefully examined the dignified-looking middle-aged man.

Lei Shao, Bai Canghai's mentor, is also the Grand Elder of Qianqiu Valley. His strength... well, it varies.

It's worth noting that this isn't a grammatically incorrect sentence like "It got dark, and my dad gradually came home," but rather a genuine description of the current situation:

In Feng Xia's perception, Lei Shao, dressed in black, had an aura that fluctuated in strength. At its strongest, it even made Feng Xia feel a sense of unease, while at its lowest point, it felt as if Lei Shao was no match for a goose!

"Strange, really strange... Is this some kind of Ripple Technique? Or Brownian Motion Technique? The strength of the power changes randomly and is unpredictable?"

Feng Xia's mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts.

On the surface, Feng Xia maintained a faint smile, standing leisurely to the side, observing everything in Qianqiu Valley.

In particular, observe the movements of that junior sister, Ling Jieyu.

It wasn't that Feng Xia wanted to spy on this junior sister Ling; it was simply that she was the most beloved little girl in Qianqiu Valley, and he always felt an indescribable sense of unease about her.

"Could it be that the vixen Yan Wuyou got back to Xingsha City before us and then impersonated Ling Jieyu to join the team a second time?"

In less than a breath, Feng Xia eliminated a wrong option.

Even a fool would know that's impossible.

It's easy to impersonate someone for a short period of time, but it's very difficult to do so for a long time.

Whether it's words and actions, habits, or details of recollection, any slip-up could instantly expose their true identity.

Moreover, this is a world where supernatural beings exist.

"According to Bai Canghai, every disciple of Qianqiu Valley must undergo multiple checks upon returning from an outing to prevent spies from other forces from infiltrating."

"At the same time, each disciple's identity token is specially crafted and infused with a drop of the holder's blood essence. No one but the holder can activate the identity token."

Recalling her experience entering Qianqiu Valley, Feng Xia couldn't help but shake her head and sigh inwardly, "I guess I was just being a little paranoid..."

Just as he was pondering this, he heard Lei Shao's angry shout.

"A glass mirror? I have no need for that!"

Bai Canghai's master, his face contorted with rage, roared, "I have long since mastered the Sword Heart Clarity, and my mind's eye is my eye. Why would I need such a cumbersome thing?!"

Bai Canghai felt even more helpless: "But Master, you already missed the mark just now..."

"Mistake? Hmph! That was because I deliberately let you win. If you don't believe me, why not try again!"
