CHAPTER XVI
Most people think that Ye Fangping is a freak. His mother was the most noble princess of the Dongyang Imperial Family, and his father was a well-known law enforcement elder on Tianji Mountain. Even if he does nothing all his life, he will be the most favored son of Dongyang. But he was crazy, and he insisted on worshipping Grace Xiaozhu.
Although Wan Ting Xiaozhu is one of the three major forces in the world, most of them are women, and many people are worried about whether the prince of Dongyang will be affected and his cultivation stagnates.
However, Ye Fangping unexpectedly occupied the fiftieth place on the Heavenly Rank List, and it has been eighty years now.
"Your strength is obviously more than fifty on the Heavenly Rank List, why do you want to hide it?" The owner of Grace Xiaozhu is one of the few people who know, and occasionally can't help his curiosity.
Young Master Ye was holding a file in one hand and a wood in the other, thinking about how to make a knife, but he didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "I want to live." β
The master of the building was deflated, slapped him on the head twice, and said softly: "The destiny is hard to disobey. If you really reach the end of your life, you can't escape it no matter what. β
"Auntie is not right." Young Master Ye finally found a good angle and carefully slashed the first knife, "If it is really destiny that cannot be disobeyed, sooner or later it will be death, then what are we still working hard to cultivate immortals?" Since God has given us this opportunity, of course, we must take advantage of it and work hard to live longer, how can we get by? β
The master laughed, she bent down, pinched the young master's soft cheek, and said softly, "Because my aunt has lived for more than three hundred years, which is long enough." β
Not all people are suitable for cultivating immortals, they are naturally obedient, with the attitude of "it should be me and it will always be mine", and they do not fight or grabβthe Zhuzhu is this kind of person.
Ye Fangping also wondered more than once, what is the purpose of her aunt to be the owner of this graceful little building? Speaking of which, it would be more suitable for her to be an ordinary princess in the royal family!
"By the way, what are you carving? A gift for someone? Apparently unwilling to continue the conversation, the Tsukuji asked instead about the piece of wood in his hand.
It was a piece of Wushan wood.
Wushan wood is blue all over, with beautiful textures and hard textures, and it is as cool as jade. The one in Ye Fangping's hand is even larger, which is rare in the world.
She remembered that this piece of wood was a gift from Ye Fangping's mother on his birthday, Ye Fangping has always been very precious, never reluctant to move, and she was so distressed that she wanted to cry when she bumped it on weekdays, why did she take it out today?
Young Master Ye pursed the corners of his mouth and didn't speak, but his cheeks were slightly red.
The master became more and more curious, and couldn't help but guess: "Could it be ...... Is it your sweetheart? After thinking about it, he felt very reliable, "Yes, you are also old, it's time to move your spring heart." What kind of person is the other person? Does she like you too? β
"Auntie, where do you want to go?" Ye Fangping was made to laugh and cry by this series of questions, "It's just a friend, I'm going to participate in the Heavenly Rank Selection in a few days, and I can't find any suitable gifts, so I just want to carve a talisman for him." β
"The talisman needs such a large piece of Wushan wood?" The Tsukuji looked incredulous.
Ye Fangping sighed: "Who said that such a large piece should be given to him?" As he spoke, he raised the thing in his hand, it turned out that the knife just now only cut off a small corner, which was more than enough to make a talisman, but it could only be made into a talisman.
Only then did the master know that his nephew was really just giving gifts to friends, not a sweetheart, and couldn't help but feel a little sad: "You said that your child is more than 100 years old, and he doesn't even have a ...... of anyone he likes."
Ye Fangping was speechless: "Isn't this normal?" Auntie, you are not either, you are more than 300 years old, and you are not married yet? β
"Phew, how do you compare to your aunt?"
"My mother also met my father in her 200s, so I'm in such a hurry to find a sweetheart?" Ye Fangping pursed her lips, lowered her head and continued to study the formation on the talisman, unwilling to continue.
The master is just joking, although her nephew can't find her sweetheart, but after thinking about it, if Ye Fangping gets married so early, she will have less time to accompany them, and she can't bear it!
When you think like this, you don't get attached. She gave two more words, helped choose two talisman formations, and went to deal with her own affairs.
The Heavenly Rank Selection is a competition exclusive to cultivators that lasts for four months. During this time, they can fight each other, life and death. Of course, it is not necessary to participate, but those who give up their qualifications are equivalent to giving up the opportunity to become an immortal cultivator.
Gu Xiangcheng squatted in the backyard, carefully dug out a red grass and stuffed it into the cloth bag behind him. He has only participated in such a competition as Tianjie Xuan, and it is not guaranteed that it is foolproof, so it is better not to underestimate the enemy.
"Landlord." An attendant stopped behind him and called softly.
"Huh?" Gu Xiangcheng replied casually, and picked a few small Zhu Guo before getting up, "What's the matter?" β
"Young Master Ye of Grace Xiaozhu has just come here and sent something to you." The attendant was still holding a small wooden box in his hand.
Gu Cheng turned into a box and asked casually, "What about Young Master Ye?" β
The attendant said: "Young Master Ye seems to have something to do, so he has already left." β
Gu Xiangcheng nodded: "I see." Go down. β
"Yes."
After the entourage left, Gu Xiangcheng opened the box and took out the contents inside. It was a small wooden plaque, no more than three fingers in size, and it was cool and smooth to the touch, like grasping a stone.
Gu Xiangcheng raised it up and came to the front of him, observed it carefully, and was taken aback: "Wushan Mu?!" "That's a rare good thing in the world, and the whole world is only in Ye Fangping's hands. But he didn't expect Young Master Ye to be so generous, and he actually cut a small corner to make a talisman for him?
The wood-carved amulet exudes a quiet fragrance, which smells a little bitter, but it can calm people down, so that they will not go mad during cultivation.
Gu Xiangcheng smiled in a low voice and put the talisman into his arms, but his fingers subconsciously rubbed the jade pipe on his waist.
He was not afraid of the Heavenly Rank Selection, and he had only heard that Wan Ting's Xiaozhu Formation was outstanding, so he casually mentioned that he wanted a defensive formation so that he would not be seriously injured in the Heavenly Rank Selection. Unexpectedly, Young Master Ye was so honest?
It seems that I really owe a lot of favors. Gu Xiangcheng thought about it, and felt that he had nothing to give back now, so he simply kept the favor in his heart, thinking that when the other party was in trouble in the future, he would just help him.
Just as he was thinking about it, the attendant came over again: "The landlord." β
"What's wrong again?" Gu Xiangcheng was a little helpless. He was busy with everything now, and he finally found time to prepare the things he needed for the Heavenly Rank Selection, why was it so difficult?
"The lord of the building, the lord of the Shen Pavilion of the Cloud Makeup Pavilion has arrived."
"Huh?" Gu Xiangcheng blinked, thinking that he hadn't woken up yet, "Who are you talking about?" β
Shen Yan drank half a pot of tea in the main hall before waiting for the late host's house. Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head, and saw that the new owner of Jiuyan Building was in a hurry, trotting all the way in from outside, and before he stepped into the door, he opened his mouth first: "The Lord of Shen Pavilion is here, and there is a disappointment in the future, forgive me!" β
He suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. This person, before he became the landlord, would never talk to him so politely; After becoming the landlord, he became more and more neglected.
But the discomfort was only temporary, and Shen Yan did not forget the reason why he came here. He stood up, saluted Gu Xiangcheng, sat down again, and watched his subordinates change into hot tea.
"Pavilion Lord Shen came to me, but what's the matter?" Gu Xiangcheng waved his hand, and a room of attendants rushed out, and the last one closed the door intimately.
Shen Yan stared at him quietly for a while, raised his hand, and a cloud of green light fell on the other party's table. The light dissipated, and there were three jade slips on the table.
Gu Xiangcheng was stunned: "This is?" β
"You're going to participate in the Heavenly Rank General Election soon." Shen Yan paused for a moment, as if thinking about the wording, "Be careful in everything." β
The Heavenly Rank Selection was just a four-month battle for Shen Yan. He has experienced the darkest moments of his life, so he never relents, even in the face of his former best friend, as long as the other party threatens him, he will strike first.
But Gu makeup is different. When he returned to the town, he already felt that Gu Xiangcheng was a different person from him. He is kind and affectionate, compassionate and soft, and always wants to take care of the big picture. However, what Tianjie needs is not people who can "take care of the overall situation", but people who can "survive".
He gave away three jade slips, which kept a little of his "vitality" inside. It's not that he looks down on Gu Xiangcheng, it's just that everything has a contingency, and one more life-saving talisman is better than nothing.
Shen Yan naturally ignored the reason why he gave "vitality" to Gu Xiangcheng. He thought that since there had been a transaction, there would definitely be more contact in the future. Gu Makeup is stupid and weak, but he can still see it, and it would be a pity if he died like this.
Shen Yan was thinking about something, Gu Xiangcheng didn't know at all. He touched the three jade slips, and could feel the vitality inside, and his heart was suddenly surging. He raised his eyes and saw that Shen Yanzheng was slightly lowering his eyes, his expression was peaceful, and he couldn't help but want to hold someone in his arms and make love.
But when he thought that the two of them were not so familiar now, Gu Xiangcheng was like a punctured ball, and he instantly languished.
Shen Yan glanced at the person who suddenly gloomy with some strange eyes, and said, "But what's wrong with the things sent by this seat?" β
"Nope!" Gu Xiangcheng knew that he was going to get angry when he mentioned "this seat", so he hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile, "I am tired that the Lord of the Shen Pavilion personally sent me a gift, and I am grateful and flattered!" β
Shen Yan pursed the corners of his mouth, and stopped talking. In the end, he just bowed his head reservedly: "Well, then I won't disturb the rest of the Gu landlord." Leave. I wish you a safe return in this election. β
Gu Xiangcheng blinked, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "Okay." β
