Chapter 119 I don’t understand
Others were also seriously injured. Qiao Muyun, Chi Xu and others stayed in the Shen family to recuperate.
After a few days, everyone had recovered a lot, and the Shen family held a banquet five days later.
The two Nascent Soul cultivators of Zixiao Sect were accompanied by the head of the Shen family, and the others were entertained by Shen Yunyao and several other disciples of the Shen family.
Shen Yunjian's injuries hadn't healed much, and he no longer looked seriously injured.
No one had been out and about these past few days, and he had only heard about Cheng Shuyan's injury from Shen Yunyao. He couldn't help but feel worried, and as soon as he saw her, he pulled her aside and said with concern:
"Ayan, how are you? Are you still feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine, Brother Shen. Thanks to the Shen family's elixirs and Yun Yao's careful care, I'm almost fully recovered!
I have to thank Brother Shen this time. If you hadn't rushed over to delay time for me, the talisman in my hand would not be able to activate."
She responded with a bright smile. Shen Yunjian couldn't help but be stunned, then he smiled foolishly: "I'm glad you're okay!"
As the two were talking, Qiao Muyun came over and asked teasingly, "What? You're only thanking Fellow Daoist Shen, but not me?"
Cheng Shuyan bowed to him and thanked him solemnly: "Of course, I also want to thank Senior Qiao. If you hadn't intervened in time, I would have been dead by now."
"Cheng Shuyan, I don't understand." Qiao Muyun's eyes tightened, and he said in a somewhat stiff tone: "You always seem to be distant from me. Why?"
"Senior, you are overthinking it. You have helped me a lot, so I naturally respect you." She really couldn't feel close to Qiao Muyun, and always felt that this person was too secretive.
After hearing this, Qiao Muyun was silent for a while, then laughed at himself.
"Forget it. Now that you and I are both in the Foundation Establishment Stage, don't call me Senior anymore. Call me Fellow Daoist instead."
Chi Xu also arrived at this time. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Shen Yunyao hurriedly invited everyone to have dinner.
No one was happy with the meal. Shen Yunjian kept staring at Qiao Muyun with a probing look, while Qiao Muyun absentmindedly glanced at Cheng Shuyan occasionally.
Cheng Shuyan really didn't know what to say, so he just focused on eating.
Shen Yunyao and Chi Xu didn't understand what was going on and didn't say anything.
As for the other disciples of the Shen family, they had no idea what was going on and ate the meal in a very dull manner.
Most monks usually fast and abstain from food. The Shen family held a banquet because they were guests and naturally had to be entertained.
Secondly, everyone is a foundation-building cultivator, and they can take the opportunity of the banquet to communicate with each other. However, after the meal, they only spoke less than ten sentences.
Several other disciples of the Shen family stood up and said goodbye first, and the others naturally took this opportunity to end the meeting.
Cheng Shuyan was about to go back to her room when Chi Xu stopped her.
"Fellow Daoist Cheng, if you are free tomorrow, please go to Guihe Garden for a chat. The master has something to invite you for." Guihe Garden is the courtyard where several people from Zixiao Sect are temporarily staying.
She was a little confused. She had only met the two Nascent Soul cultivators from Zixiao Sect once. Why did they come looking for her?
However, since the Nascent Soul cultivator took the initiative to invite her, she naturally had to go.
On the second day, Shen Yunjian and his sister came with her to Guihe Garden.
On the way, she found out that the head of the Shen family was also waiting for her in Guihe Garden, and it seemed to be related to the talisman she used.
Return to the lotus garden.
The head of the Shen family and two Nascent Soul cultivators were sitting opposite each other drinking tea, while Chi Xu stood silently by the side.
After Cheng Shuyan and the Shen brothers and sisters entered, they bowed to the three people together, then stood there quietly, waiting for the three people to speak.
"Mr. Cheng, there's no need to be so polite. Please sit down." The head of the Shen family broke the silence first and waved his hand to move several small bamboo stools beside him in front of the three people.
After thanking them, the three of them sat down, and Chi Xu, who was standing next to them, also got a stool.
The head of the Shen family had seen her at Shen Yunjian's coming-of-age ceremony and was more familiar with her than the two people from the Zixiao Sect, so he took the initiative to pave the way.
"I heard that you are the daughter of Daoist Huaixu and his wife from the Cheng family who lost her many years ago. Now that they have found their beloved daughter, it is truly a blessing from heaven! I will send a visiting card to your parents one day and go to congratulate you on your family reunion."
This news spread quite quickly.
She thought of Ye Chenghuan and the others she met in the Forest of No Return. She thought that they must have told Shen Yunjian, and the head of the Shen family must have learned about it from Shen Yunjian, right?
Although she never called Cheng Huaixu and his wife her parents when she was at the Cheng family, she still had to maintain the status quo when she was outside.
She thought for a moment, then stood up and replied, "Thank you very much, Senior. If my parents knew you were coming, they would definitely prepare a bed for you."
"Sit down, sit down. You don't have to be so polite, kid. You are good friends with Yun Jian and Yun Yao, and I have been close friends with your parents for many years. From now on, you can just call me uncle!"
Patriarch Shen spoke to her lovingly, and then introduced the two people from Zixiao Sect to her.
"These two are the True Lords Qing Hui and Huai Yin of the Zixiao Sect. You met them before when you were in Linjia Village. They have something to ask you."
"Yes, I have met the two True Lords. I wonder if the two True Lords have anything to ask me. I will certainly tell them everything I know."
On the way here, she had heard from Shen Yunjian that the two men were looking for her perhaps because of her talisman.
Jiang Hongyue's identity is mysterious. She is obviously in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but she is willing to hide her cultivation level and stay in a remote hidden sect. She takes Wuwei Zhenren, a Jindan cultivator, as her master. I'm afraid she also has her own unspeakable difficulties.
But Cheng Shuyan didn't expect that the talisman that Jiang Hongyue gave her would attract the attention of two people from Zixiao Sect.
Master Huaiyin had a serious look on his face and looked like a man who never smiled.
On the other hand, True Lord Qing Hui had a much kinder face, like a benevolent old man. He smiled and said to her, "Little friend Cheng, don't be nervous. We just want to borrow your talisman to take a look. I wonder if you could make it convenient for us?"
It sounds like she's being asked for her opinion, but in reality, she has no right to refuse.
Cheng Shuyan took out the talisman and presented it to Qinghui Zhenjun. After he took it, the two of them looked at it carefully.
Because it had been used twice, a faint crack had appeared on it.
The two looked at each other for a while, and then their expressions became visibly more serious.
True Lord Huai Yin even asked the head of the Shen family directly, "Fellow Daoist Shen, could you please lend me your land? We need to try out this talisman."
"This..." The head of the Shen family stroked his beard and looked at Cheng Shuyan.
Cheng Shuyan understood what he meant. To test the talisman meant to activate it. This talisman only had one last attack power left, and it would be gone if he tried it.
As the owner of the talisman, it stands to reason that she needs her consent.
"The two of us do need to verify some things. Please rest assured, young friend Cheng, we will double compensate you for your losses." Upon seeing this, True Lord Qinghui quickly added.
At this point, she couldn't refuse and had to nod in agreement.
