Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Yin You was touched, but he was not the kind of person who would be bashful or pretentious. He just buried this feeling deep in his heart, waiting to repay the kindness of his elders after he had achieved great success in his cultivation.

Yin Ci took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the rice grains from the corners of Yin You's mouth: "Don't worry, I will accompany you to the Chilian Academy."

"stare……"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the master and disciple.

Xue Qingyou, who was originally practicing with her eyes closed in the corner, opened her eyes at some point. With an inexplicable look in her snow-white pupils, she silently looked at the master and disciple.

Zhu Yingqiu, who was practicing swordsmanship in the open space, also slowed down his movements. His eyes were no longer on the long sword in his hand, but on the master and disciple.

Liu Ling'er and Hong'er, who were playing not far away, also stopped playing and looked at the master and disciple.

As if noticing the strange gazes from everyone, Yin Ci's gorgeous and mysterious eyes narrowed slightly:

"what happened?"

The cold and slightly chilly voice brought everyone back to their senses. They quickly looked away and continued doing their own things as if nothing had happened.

Why is it that this elder of Xuelingxu speaks so softly and gently when talking to Yin You, but has no expression and a cold tone when talking to us?

When Liu Ling'er saw Yin Ci for the first time, she secretly complained in her heart.

……

At noon, Liu Ningshuang sent someone to invite them to have lunch in her yard.

"Elder Yin, I have to thank you Xuelingxu for this matter."

Liu Ningshuang stood up with a glass of wine in hand and toasted Yin Ci and the others.

Yin Ci nodded slightly and raised his glass to take a sip.

The two of them were old acquaintances. Liu Ningshuang was the younger sister of Elder Liu Ningxiang of Xuelingxu, and Yin Ci had a good relationship with Liu Ningxiang, so both of them behaved quite casually.

In addition, Yin You had previously acknowledged Liu Ningshuang as his aunt, so Yin Ci was naturally aware of this matter. She did not object at the time, and the relationship between the two sides naturally became closer.

Interestingly, a hundred years ago, Yin Ci and his master passed by Huacheng and put down the evil rebellion in Huacheng at that time. A hundred years later, Yin You stopped the conspiracy of Yin Xingsheng, the mastermind behind the conspiracy, in Huacheng and delayed him for a long time, allowing the Taoist alliance reinforcements to arrive in Huacheng in time. Finally, it was Yin Ci who successfully arrested the mastermind of all the conspiracies.

Yin Ci didn't eat much, and most of the time her eyes were on Yin You, who was sitting next to her. From time to time, she would use her chopsticks to put food into his bowl and gently ask him to eat slowly.

"stare……"

As time went by, the attention of the other people at the table turned to the master and disciple again.

"Are these two really master and disciple?" Even someone as carefree as Liu Ling'er felt a little awkward when she saw the scene in front of her.

The way these two get along doesn't look like master and disciple at all, but more like... an old couple who have been together for many years!

Yes! It’s this strange feeling!

When she thought of this, a strange look flashed in Liu Ling'er's eyes.

Liu Ningshuang, who was standing beside her, looked calm on the surface, but secretly she was curious: "It's just as my sister said..."

Should we say that she is worthy of being Liu Ningxiang's biological sister?

Liu Ningshuang's personality is actually very similar to her sister Liu Ningxiang, but now that she has become the head of the family, she has restrained her temperament a little.

But looking at the scene of the master and disciple getting along with each other, Liu Ningshuang suddenly felt like teasing them.

She picked up a piece of crystal clear meat with aura and placed it in Yin You's bowl. She smiled and said, "This is the green-scaled fish that is unique to Huacheng. The meat is firm and delicious. Please try it."

Yin You suddenly shivered slightly and felt a cold wind blowing, but when he carefully sensed it, he could no longer sense the cold wind, as if it was just an illusion just now.

"Thank you, auntie."

He nodded to Liu Ningshuang, picked up the piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. It was indeed delicious and chewy.

Liu Ningshuang secretly noticed Yin Ci's seemingly indifferent expression and laughed secretly in her heart.

But she also knows the importance of things and knows when to stop.

After everyone finished their meal, Yin You also planned to bid farewell to Liu Ningshuang and Liu Ling'er, mother and daughter, and leave Huacheng for Chilian Academy.

Chapter 39: The Great Red City

Before leaving Huacheng, Yin You and Yin Ci went to Zuiyue Teahouse to visit Qu Yueting.

"Jingle Bell……"

The two of them pushed the door open and walked in. As the bell rang, a clear and sweet voice was heard:

"welcome."

The short-haired girl bent down slightly, and when she raised her head and saw Yin You, a smile appeared on her face: "Master Yin."

"Sister Di."

Yin You also greeted her.

During the ten days in Huacheng, Yin You came to Zuiyue Teahouse many times, and became familiar with the short-haired girl Qu Tingdi in front of him.

Qu Tingdi smiled and said, "Is it still the same place?"

The old place she was referring to was the seat where Yin You sat when he first came to Zuiyue Teahouse.

Because Yin You almost always sat in that seat every time he came to Zuiyue Teahouse, unless there were other guests there, he would change seats.

So Qu Tingdi also knew his preferences.

"Well, another pot of Drunken Moon Flower Tea."

Yin You nodded, and went to sit with Yin Ci.

Qu Tingdi walked to the front desk and prepared scented tea for them.

Yin You looked around and found that apart from him and his master, there were only one or two guests in the entire teahouse. The empty teahouse seemed quite deserted.

He had seen this scene many times in the past few days, and learned the reason from Qu Tingdi. Although there were many mortal cultivators in Huacheng, there were also a large number of teahouses and teahouses. More people chose those famous teahouses and teahouses, such as the "three major teahouses and seven small teahouses", which were all crowded with customers.

As for small teahouses like Zuiyue Teahouse, although their tea art may not be much worse than those of the "three big teahouses and seven small teahouses", they are not well-known due to their remote location and being located in deep alleys. Their business is poor and most of their customers are acquaintances nearby.

Yin Ci looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery around him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

A hundred years ago, she and her master had been to Zuiyue Teahouse and sat in this seat.

The Zuiyue Teahouse was extremely lively at that time, not as deserted as it is now.

"Sister Yin."

A sudden call sounded beside his ear, interrupting Yin Ci's thoughts.

She tilted her head slightly and saw a white-haired old man slowly walking towards her.

The old man had bright and lively eyes, and was dressed very neatly and cleanly. Even his silver hair was meticulously groomed without a trace of disorder.

She looked at the wide black robe draped over Yin Ci. Even though she couldn't see Yin Ci's face clearly because of the hood, she still smiled.

Yin Ci took off his hood and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Long time no see, Yueting."

Looking at Yin Ci's face which had not changed at all a hundred years ago, Qu Yueting showed a trace of nostalgia in her eyes: "I haven't seen you for a hundred years, Sister Yin is still so beautiful."

"It's just..." Qu Yueting paused slightly and looked at Yin Ci's silver-gray left eye, "What's wrong with Sister Yin's eye?"

Even though a hundred years have passed, Qu Yueting still remembers that both of Yin Ci's eyes were a crystal-like lavender color. How come one of his eyes has turned silver-gray now?

"It may be caused by some secret method I practiced."

Yin Ci's eyes showed a trace of doubt: "I don't know the reason. One day, when I woke up, this eye changed color. Fortunately, it didn't affect my vision, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

Qu Yueting nodded when she heard this. She also understood that some magical powers had strange effects and could subtly change a person's appearance.

She and Yin Ci talked about some things that happened over the years. Most of the time, Qu Yueting was talking and Yin Ci was listening.

Yin You sat opposite them, looking at the street view outside the window from time to time, taking a sip of Drunken Moon Flower Tea, and hearing the conversation between Yin Ci and Qu Yueting.

About half an hour later, Yin Ci planned to say goodbye.

Qu Yueting did not speak to persuade them to stay. She stood at the door of Zuiyue Teahouse, watched the master and apprentice go away, waved and shouted:

"Sister Yin, see you next time."

Yin Ci waved at her.

She did not tell Qu Yueting about Yin Xingsheng. After all, it was too cruel for her to think that her long-dead lover was the mastermind behind the evil incident.

Yin Ci had seen Qu Yueting once by placing his soul in Yin You's mind. At that time, Qu Yueting still had a hidden illness left over from many years, and her face looked a little haggard.

But when I saw her again today, Qu Yueting looked ruddy and energetic, and she didn't even need anyone to help her walk. This must be the effect of the spiritual energy rain.

……

In the vast land in the south of the Northern Territory, there is a huge city covering hundreds of thousands of miles. It is like an insurmountable natural moat, located next to the former boundary wall.

This city, which is larger than the dynasty empire, is called "Chilian" and is also known as the "Chilian Giant City".

Legend has it that in ancient times, this place was still an unknown little village. A monk who called himself Chi Lianzi traveled here and saw the suffering of all living beings. He decided to stay here because of his superb medical skills. He could cure almost all diseases and he didn't charge his patients a penny.

Soon Chi Lianzi became famous, and many mortal cultivators came to him because of his reputation. He continued to treat people as always, and treated both mortals and cultivators equally, winning the love of everyone.

Gradually, that unknown little village became a city. Chi Lianzi later recruited many disciples and founded the Chi Lian Academy. He taught everyone, and as long as one was a human, no matter their status, everyone could join.

Even for mortals without any spiritual roots, Chi Lianzi can teach them the ways of farming and breeding, so that they can have a skill and survive.

One day later, Chi Lianzi ascended to heaven in broad daylight under the gaze of all the mortal cultivators in the city.

In order to commemorate Chi Lianzi, the city was renamed "Chi Lian".

The disciples of the Chilian Academy followed the teachings of Chilianzi and passed down the Chilian Academy from generation to generation, and Chilian City gradually became the giant Chilian City.

Originally, the Chilian Academy could only be regarded as a first-rate force in the Northern Territory, and was far from being able to compete with the other four behemoths with long-standing heritages. It was not until the war in the Five Territories after the boundary wall disappeared that the Chilian Academy began to shine.

The Chi Lian Academy is located on the border of the Northern Territory and borders the outside world. Their situation can be said to be extremely dangerous. Not only do they have to face the vicious and brutal foreign monks, but they also need to guard against their fellow Northern Territory compatriots behind them. It can be said that they are surrounded by a fierce tiger in front and a hungry wolf behind. They are attacked from both sides.

But they did not retreat or surrender. Instead, they stood like a solid wall, a natural moat, spanning the sky and earth, blocking countless charges by the foreign monks.

Of course, they also suffered heavy losses and paid a huge price. Countless disciples died on the battlefield, and even the elders and palace masters of the eighth and ninth realms fell on the battlefield. Their blood once dyed the land red and soaked deeply into the soil.

Countless monks from the Northern Territory were moved and spontaneously gathered in this city to fight against foreign enemies and defend their homes together with their compatriots.

The scale of the Chilian City has continued to expand, becoming a veritable "giant city" and even a crucial core battlefield in the Northern Territory.

Later, when the wars in the five regions subsided, the cultivators from the Northern Region who had come here to join the war had already regarded this place as their home and were unwilling to leave. Instead, they settled down here and joined the Chilian Academy.

As a result, the power of the Chi Lian Academy expanded greatly, and it successfully became one of the top sects in the Northern Territory, and it was also the top sect with the largest number of disciples among the five top sects.

The Chi Lian Academy still adheres to the teachings of the first palace master Chi Lianzi, recruiting disciples widely and teaching everyone.

this day.

Yin Ci, Yin You, Zhu Yingqiu and Xue Qingyou came to this ancient city.

Chapter 40 A Satisfactory Transaction

The Chilian City is vast in area. For ease of management, it is divided into thirty-six urban districts. The Chilian Academy is located in the central Chixin City and Lianxin City. It is the only force in the Chilian City that spans two major urban districts, which shows how large its area is.

Yin Ci and the others relied on the sect token of the Chi Lian Academy's supreme elder to be directly teleported to the Chi Lian Academy's sect transmission platform in the Chi Xin city area.

As Yin Ci and the other three stepped off the teleportation platform, a smiling and gentle female cultivator came towards them:

"Friend Yin, long time no see."

This person was none other than Chang Jingyao, the supreme elder of the Chilian Academy who had been waiting here for a long time, and was also the person with whom Yin Ci and the others were doing business.

Yin Ci replied, "Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Chang."

"Meet Elder Chang."

Yin You and the other two bowed slightly to the Chi Lian Academy's Grand Elder.

Chang Jingyao's gaze swept over Yin You, Zhu Yingqiu, and Xue Qingyou, especially lingering on Yin You for a moment, smiling and nodding in greeting.

She did not reminisce too much and directly led Yin Ci and the other three through the magnificent palace complex and came to her palace.

As the supreme elder of the Chilian Academy, Chang Jingyao owns a large palace complex for her and her disciples to live in.

"The Supreme Elder."
