Chapter 32: The Femme Fatale
An eventful night has finally passed. www.biquge.info I'm afraid that except for a few parties, no one would have thought that it would be such a seemingly ordinary night, but so many things had happened, and it might even change the pattern of the Medicine Spirit Valley in the future.
"Xiaobai, in a few days, my sister will retreat for a while." At breakfast, Nie Ningshuang suddenly spoke, looking at Zhan Bai opposite with a complicated expression.
Nie Ningshuang is really not a good actor, although she tries her best to hide it, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is preoccupied.
As for the reason, Zhanbai naturally knows it and does not say it.
"Retreat?" Zhanbai pretended to be surprised.
"Ahem, my sister is a cultivator after all, whether it is metaphysical cultivation or alchemy, there will always be bottlenecks, and at this time, the best way is to retreat." Nie Ningshuang tirelessly explained.
"Is it because I won't see you during the retreat?" Zhan Bai said with a look of grievance.
"Hmm." Nie Ningshuang was a little reluctant, but she still nodded ruthlessly, "But, Xiaobai, don't worry, this retreat will not be very long, and Uncle Chen will be instructed to take good care of you before the retreat." ”
"Okay." Zhan Bai pretended to be sensible and nodded.
Because of last night's incident, Nie Ningshuang's feelings for Zhanbai were different. If it was pure family affection before, then now, there is already a little bit of gratitude.
It is this kind of relationship that makes the relationship between the two a little rusty.
In this regard, Zhanbai could only sigh secretly in his heart.
In fact, there is a reason why he directed such a play yesterday.
Since there is no possibility between himself and Nie Ningshuang, it is better to keep a certain distance. After all, Medicine Spirit Valley was just a temporary place for him, and he could leave at any time. In this way, even if he doesn't say goodbye one day, he won't let Nie Ningshuang worry too much.
If Zhan Bai still had any coveting heart for Medicine Spirit Valley at the beginning, today, he gave up.
Yao Ling Gu's attainments in alchemy are what Zhan Bai values more, and it is also the shortcoming of the power he currently masters.
Although the Shenji Battalion is also secretly developing the alchemy industry, after all, the time is relatively short, and the accumulation is far from enough.
The reason why Zhanbai gave up was to repay Nie Ningshuang's kindness.
For the sake of himself, Nie Ningshuang would rather serve the wolf with his body, not to mention whether Zhanbai needs it or not, but this kindness, he can't ignore it.
It is not difficult to see from the forbearance and layout of Zhenyan that he is a very ambitious person, and his plans are not small.
Since Nie Ningshuang and Zheyan walked together, it was already a reality that was difficult to change, then Zhan Bai did not hesitate to give them the Medicine Spirit Valley as a big gift.
In the next few days, Yaoling Valley was undoubtedly lively.
First, Qiao Fengchen, who is the heir of the sect master, announced a retreat, and then, within two days, Zhenyan, as a competitor, also announced a retreat. For this kind of thing, it is not strange that the sect master and ordinary disciples in the sect are not surprised, the relationship between the two is no secret, and the competition between each other can be said to be going on all the time. On the contrary, Nie Ningshuang's retreat did not attract much attention.
Secondly, more important news came, Wen Ren Zili, the heir of the head of the Wen Ren family, suddenly visited Yao Ling Valley, and then left quietly after only one day.
Coming quietly and going quietly, it was the many male disciples of the Medicine Spirit Valley who left endless reveries.
"Hey, it's really the same life. Look at the environment where you live and then look at ...... Do not say. Zhan Bai sat comfortably on the bamboo chair, squinted his eyes, opened his mouth from time to time, and slurped the grapes in his mouth, and sometimes deliberately bit the delicate fingers of the servant girl beside him, which caused the servant girl to scream again and again.
Not far away, Wen Renli is obviously not so comfortable, even at night, he still holds the book seriously, buries his head in reading, and every time he doesn't understand, he will open his mouth to ask Zhan Bai for advice.
Outside the luxurious study, the old man known as Uncle Eagle walked by from time to time, and every time he saw the rogue general Zhanbai, he always frowned coldly, but when he saw the son in a blink of an eye, he was indescribably satisfied.
"Hehe, big brother, don't complain. This mansion was originally used by the Medicine Spirit Valley to entertain VIPs, but these handmaidens were all brought out of my family. Wen Renli put down the book in his hand, chuckled and replied, looking at the eldest brother's enjoyment, his eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of envy, but he quickly returned to calm.
No one doesn't like to enjoy, and Wen Renli is no exception, but he knows his mission better. Now he is far from enjoying life.
Zhan Bai is so unscrupulous and indulgent in pleasure around him, not without the intention of honing his will.
"Oh, yes, big brother. Yesterday, my sister sent a letter. The letter said that she had entered Jian Feiyan. Wen Ren seemed to think of something, and immediately said.
"Hmm." Zhan Bai nodded without opening his eyes.
In my heart, I don't know how smart you are, and in the end I didn't get on Lao Tzu's thief ship.
The Unintentional Sword Code is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, it is also a bottomless trap.
Since Wen Ren Zili had cultivated the Unintentional Sword Codex, he was branded with the mark of Zhanbai on his body, and he became his woman through and through.
Fortunately, Zhanbai's despicability is not without a bottom line, since he has taken such a big advantage from the Wenren family, Wenren has become the target of compensation.
"Big brother, in fact, I still want to do a sword cultivation like my sister." Hearing that there were some words in the mouth, they came into Zhanbai's ears.
"Nope." Zhanbai refused without hesitation.
"Why?" Wen Renli was a little puzzled, "My sister is a sword cultivator, and my eldest brother is also a sword cultivator, and your strength makes me empathize." ”
"In this matter, not only will I not agree, but you will definitely not agree to it. Unless, you renounce your qualifications as family heirs. Zhan Bai slowly opened his eyes, rarely serious.
"I still don't understand. What does my practice of kendo have to do with the heirs of my family? Wen Ren said stubbornly.
"The reason is very simple, as the head of the family, your task is not only to light the lintel, but also to pass it on. In fact, from the moment your sister entered Shushan, it was already destined that she could only become an assistant in the future, not an heir. Zhanbai knows that if he can't explain it clearly today, he will be difficult to let go of his temperament.
"Although the stones of other mountains can attack jade. But this is only for reference, not to abandon the inheritance of ancestors. Since you are the only heir to the family, you must understand this truth. You can go to sword cultivation, but you can't major like your sister. ”
"But I think the sword cultivation is much more powerful than our family inheritance, especially the eldest brother, you ......" Wen Ren was still a little unwilling.
"Wrong, the sharpness of the sword is not in the sword, but in the person. In the same way, as long as one is the right person, it is possible to cultivate anything to reach a state that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. Zhan Bai shook his head, "Today, you don't want to read, you're almost stupid, think about what I said." ”
As he spoke, Zhan Bai slowly got up.
"Big brother, where are you going?"
"It's not early, so it's natural to go home. You are a place of tenderness, but not your home. Zhan Bai shook his head and walked out of the study without looking back, "No need to send it, I know the way." ”
……
Burst!
In the blood spray, a good human head rose to the sky and rolled to the ground.
Under the moonlight through the dark clouds, you can clearly see that the eyes on the man's head are wide open, and his face is full of fear and unwillingness.
"Counting this head, you should be able to advance." A slender figure slowly stepped over the headless corpse, and finally rested on the tumbling head.
The left hand probed into the void, sucked the human head into the palm of his hand, and the figure let out a faint sigh.
"Giggles, congratulations to my younger brother, promoted to Silver Fox Envoy."
