Chapter 529 Jin Xi: Hmph, cultivation is too boring, can't I wander around?
Xu Wan smiled and gently ruffled her hair, her voice very gentle:
"His name is Jin Xi, he's the child of my best friend Yan Wu, and my master and I raised him together since he was little~"
Upon hearing this, Ling Shuo's eyes were filled with disbelief!
He turned his head and looked at Jin Xi!
This ferocious beast had just fought him fiercely and almost burned his bamboo forest to ashes!
At this moment, however, he looked like a child who had made a mistake and been caught by his mother, and he was showing Xu Wan a fawning smile!
Ling Shuo felt that his worldview had been completely overturned at this moment!
This fire qilin was actually raised by Xu Wan and the Emperor together?!
Ling Shuo felt like her brain wasn't working properly!
He needs time to process this shocking news.
Lan Youyou was stunned and stood in Xu Wan's arms, her mouth slightly open.
Her blue eyes, which had become somewhat unfocused due to the fever, were now...
At this moment, it shines brilliantly, filled with curiosity and bewilderment about the world.
Her little head was full of question marks:
My sister's master is so powerful, how could she raise a Qilin like Brother Jinxi that can breathe fire and grow bigger?
And what does the master of the elder sister's master look like?
Her little hands gripped Xu Wan's clothes tightly, she looked up, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
Xu Wan walked a few steps to the white-robed youth, reached out her other hand, and gently tapped his forehead. Her tone was slightly reproachful, but without a trace of real anger:
"Jin Xi! You child, you've made such a fuss as soon as you arrived, you're being naughty!"
"Look at you! You've burned Senior Ling Shuo's bamboo forest to a crisp!"
Jin Xi wisely lowered her head and casually tossed the black magical beast in her hand aside.
The beast weighed a thousand pounds, but when it landed, it only made a soft thud. It didn't dare to make a move and obediently curled up to the side!
Its originally fierce eyes instantly turned timid, and it even tucked its tail tightly between its legs, not daring to breathe.
"I didn't mean it..."
Jin Xi pursed her lips, a hint of grievance flashing in her crimson eyes!
Then he raised his chin, his tone somewhat stubborn!
"Sigh, I was just too angry in a moment!"
"I just came here looking for a place to relax, and who knew I'd run into you here, Auntie!"
That's all!
Jin Xi's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Lan Youyou in Xu Wan's arms!
Its crimson eyes were filled with pure curiosity, as if it had discovered some new and precious treasure, and it couldn't help but lean forward:
"Whose child is this? They're so beautiful!"
Then, he changed the subject.
"Those big blue eyes are so beautiful, you'd want to dig them out and use them to make pills."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wan shook her head helplessly and could only gently introduce the topic.
"Her name is Lan Youyou."
"It's a spirit butterfly that has only recently transformed into human form, and it's very well-behaved."
After speaking, she turned to look at Ling Shuo, who was still standing there in a daze, and called out loudly:
"Ling Shuo, don't just stand there like an idiot! It's all a misunderstanding. Jin Xi isn't an enemy; she's just a mischievous child."
Ling Shuo then seemed to wake from a dream, the long sword he was gripping instantly disappeared, and the chilling spiritual energy around him also subsided.
He strode forward and scrutinized Jin Xi for a long time.
The young man was tall and straight, with a hint of arrogance between his brows, especially his crimson eyes, which faintly revealed the unique aura of the Qilin clan.
Then look at the black monster huddled to the side!
It's clearly the legendary, ferocious Inkscale Beast!
At this moment, however, it was as docile as a domestic dog!
Ling Shuo grew increasingly surprised, and recalling the boy's name from earlier, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
Such grandeur, and the ability to control the Inkscale Beast, it's just that its temperament is a bit too unruly!
Hmm! Just youthful arrogance!
He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and asked in confusion:
"May I ask... what brings you two to this plant garden?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Xi let out a soft snort, her tone tinged with impatience and rebellion:
"Hmph, cultivation is too boring. Can't I wander around a bit?"
"Jin Xi! You must not be disrespectful to Senior Ling Shuo!"
Xu Wan quickly rebuked him, looking at Ling Shuo with a hint of apology in her eyes!
"Senior Ling Shuo, please don't be offended. This child has been spoiled by us and is a bit unruly."
Jin Xi pouted, her face showing reluctance, but she still obediently replied:
"Alright, alright, actually it's that wicked woman Shuangyue who won't let me plant the Soul Nourishing Grass, and she even put up a barrier around the Alchemy Pavilion so I can't go in."
Upon hearing this, Ling Shuo's expression suddenly changed, his eyes filled with astonishment!
But... what about Shuangyue, the female sect leader of the Wuji Sect?
As everyone knows, the female sect leader, Shuangyue, is famous for her ruthless methods and profound cultivation!
Ordinary cultivators must be careful even when mentioning her name!
It's truly baffling that this young man dared to call him by his name and complain so openly.
Xu Wan noticed Ling Shuo's unusual behavior and had a sudden inspiration!
He quickly handed Lan Youyou to Ling Shuo, his voice tinged with nervousness:
"Ling Shuo, Youyou's body is burning up. It's probably because of the Burning Heart Fruit yesterday. Could you take her to the stream for a bath to relieve the fever?"
Ling Shuo quickly took Lan Youyou from her. As soon as his fingertips touched the back of her head, he felt a burning heat coming from her, much hotter than a normal person's fever, and even faintly carrying a trace of restless spiritual energy.
His heart skipped a beat, and without daring to delay, he quickly nodded in agreement:
"Don't worry, Miss Xu, I'll take Youyou there right away."
After saying that, he carefully held Lan Youyou in his arms, and with a light touch of his toes, he leaped into the air!
With a few leaps, it disappeared into the depths of the verdant bamboo forest, leaving only a faint trace of spiritual energy.
Xu Wan watched Ling Shuo walk away, and after confirming that no one else was around, she turned around and gently took Jin Xi's hand.
The boy's palm was warm, carrying the yang energy unique to the Qilin clan. Xu Wan tightened her grip slightly, her eyes filled with concern and urgency, and her voice lowered:
"Jinxi, tell your aunt, did Shuangyue bully you?"
"And my master, how is his health now? Is he really still in seclusion?"
Jin Xi sensed the anxiety in Xu Wan's tone, and a complex emotion flashed in her red eyes!
There was hesitation, reluctance, and a touch of unspeakable sadness.
Yun Che suffered divine punishment for her sake and had long since exhausted his divine soul and died!
This matter was kept strictly secret by Frostmosatsu, and only a few people knew about it!
Luo Ge repeatedly urged him not to tell Xu Wan under any circumstances, fearing that she might not be able to handle the shock.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and forced a carefree smile onto his face, his tone deliberately light:
"Frostmoon bullied me? How could that be!"
"Aunt, don't you know who I am? I am the Fire Qilin. How could she, a mere woman, be stronger than me?"
"It was clearly me who teased her at every turn, making her blush and glare at me. What could she do but say, 'Jin Xi! How dare you!'?"
Xu Wan was startled by his forced smile, her brows furrowing slightly, her tone tinged with a hint of probing:
"Jin Xi, is the bullying you're talking about... the kind of bullying I understand?"
She simply couldn't imagine it...
At such a young age, how could Jin Xi do anything inappropriate to Shuang Yue, considering Shuang Yue's cultivation level and status?
If she were truly violated by Jin Xi, she would definitely not show any mercy to Jin Xi!!!
