Shen Shi unconsciously became a little uneasy in his heart, and even his steps were lighter, and he approached quietly, but saw Haixing squatting on the ground, his hands on his cheeks, his face gloomy, and his eyes stared directly at the ground in front of him, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Shen Shi stretched his neck and glanced at the ground in front of her, only to see that there was nothing unusual except for a piece of sand, at most a clump of green weeds growing next to it, and other than that, not even a small ant was seen.

"Ahem", Shen Shi coughed twice behind her back.

The starfish girl didn't move.

Shen Shi laughed dryly, squatted down beside her, and said, "What are you looking at?"

Starfish snorted and said, "I made an appointment with a turtle to meet today, but I haven't come yet, I don't know if it's because I'm sleeping lazy or because my legs and feet are slow, it's really annoying!"

Shen Shi smiled, turned his head to look around, and said, "Turtles, are there turtles on this island?" ”

Haixing turned his head and glared at him, Shen Shi was a little weak-hearted, his laughter was small, and Haixing said angrily: "Yesterday, I don't know who said that he would come at the end of the day, and he said without shame that others would sleep lazy!"

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, shook his head categorically, and said, "I definitely didn't say that you would sleep lazy, just ask what time it is better, and ......" He thought for a moment, glanced at the starfish, and whispered, "Did you just say 'unashamed'?"

Starfish was stunned for a moment, seemed to think about it for a moment, and then nodded: "Hmm, that's the word, my grandfather taught me." Anyway, why are you late, do you know how long I've been standing here and waiting?"

Shen Shi's heart jumped, looking at the starfish's pretty face with a little anger, obviously waiting here for a long time, and his heart was depressed. He was a little ashamed at this time, after all, he looked full of confidence when he agreed yesterday, but today he really overslept by himself.

But of course you can't say that in front of the starfish, looking at the angry mood of this red clam girl, I'm afraid I can't turn around and leave when I hear this. Shen Shi's thoughts turned sharply a few times in his heart, and he didn't have time to think of other excuses in a hurry, so he had to sigh and make a sad and disappointed expression.

Starfish glanced at him and frowned, "What are you doing?"

Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, when I came in the morning, I heard about something...... Bad things, I feel a little sad in my heart, it's too late. ”

Starfish "Huh?", looking a little curious, said, "What's wrong?"

Shen Shi sighed and said, "Do you remember a few friends who came with me yesterday, one of them has a good relationship with me, named ...... Sun You. Speaking of this, Shen Shi muttered to himself with a little apology in his heart, "I'm sorry, help me top the tank first", and then coughed dryly, covering up the unnaturalness on his face, and said,

"The two of us didn't find any good tasks at the White Crane Hall of Qingyuji yesterday, and good things like raising beasts, collecting shellfish, and alchemy have all been filled by others, so we came to Hongbang Village to have a look. He also told me at the beginning that he didn't like the shrimp peeling here, and went back to the White Crane Hall to take a look, but this morning I learned that he had a relative here, who secretly took the door of a senior brother of the Spirit Beast Hall and got a place for raising beasts. ”

After that, Shen Shi patted his forehead, shook his head and said: "When I heard about this just now, I was really uncomfortable in my heart, I thought about it for a while and delayed some time, but even you were late here, I'm really sorry, starfish." I will definitely come on time in the future. ”

Haixing's face was still a little angry, but after listening to it, her expression gradually eased a lot, and when Shen Shi finally finished speaking, she thought about it, and suddenly sneered, and said, "That friend of yours, is he from a vassal family under the Lingxiao Sect?"

Shen Shi was stunned and said, "Yes, how did you guess?"

Haixing stood up from the ground, stretched out his arms and stretched his waist, his clothes were close-fitting, faintly revealing a bit of exquisite curves, and then he suddenly smiled, his expression was already cheerful, and he pulled Shen Shi up as well, and said with a smile: "Okay, you listen to me, the spirit crystals earned by peeling shrimp in our Red Mussel Village are not necessarily slower than them, at most, they will be worse than them in the Lingxiao Sect in the future, and this is nothing." ”

Shen Shi became more and more strange, and walked behind the starfish towards the white beach on the edge of the village, and asked at the same time: "Starfish, I didn't understand what you said just now, what do you mean?"

Haixing was holding the big shrimp cage in her hand at this time, looking bigger than half of her body, but there was no look of difficulty in her expression, and she looked at her with ease, she glanced at Shen Shi when she heard this, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally pouted, and said: "You should know that over there in the White Crane Hall, some good tasks are promulgated by important halls in the Lingxiao Sect, such as the Dan Hall, the Array Hall, and the Spirit Beast Hall?"

Shen Shi nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong with this?"

Starfish led him to the beach, and six or seven feet in front of them was the clear water, and the gentle sound of the crashing waves came. The sea breeze blew her black sideburns and danced in the wind.

Starfish casually put the shrimp pot on the beach, and said: "As long as you get these seemingly inconspicuous task quotas, you can enter the eyes of these important halls first, in order to do these basic tasks, the senior brothers and sisters above will naturally teach you some basic things first, and at the same time, they will naturally know the seniors in the door." And things like animal feeding and alchemy are not short-term tasks for a while, they are all done for a long time, so the relationship with the seniors of several halls is deeper. ”

Haixing's eyes glanced at the sea in the distance, reached out and stroked his hair that was somewhat disturbed by the sea breeze, and said lightly: "As time goes by, when these important halls of the Lingxiao Sect want to absorb new blood and renew their generations, will they first think about these rookie disciples who have been doing it for a few years? Not to mention, will the Spirit Beast Hall be looking for a disciple who feeds the spirit beast and is familiar with the nature of the spirit beast or someone who doesn't know anything about the spirit beast? Is the Dantang looking for a disciple who knows the alchemy fire and knows all kinds of medicinal materials, or someone who doesn't know anything about alchemy? No one can say anything about these things. ”

The smile on Shen Shi's face gradually fell silent, and after a long while, he forced a laugh and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much." ”

Starfish sneered and said disapprerovingly: "These things, that is, there are many twists and turns in your human race's heart, so I came up with them. Those vassal families have followed the Ling Xiao Sect for hundreds of thousands of years, how many of their disciples and protégés have worshiped under the sect? I heard my grandfather say, although several elders of the Ling Xiao Sect seem to want to change this situation now, but there are so many things in all aspects, big and small, where is it so easy to change?"

Shen Shi shook his head and said, "In this way, the tasks issued by these important halls in the sect will be given to these people from the children of the family?"

Haixing said: "It's not ten percent, but seven or eight percent should be there, you think, as long as you enter the threshold of these important halls first, you will naturally be able to get all kinds of help in the future, and the future is bright; if you are not talented enough to cultivate the Tao, even if you leave the Lingxiao Sect in the future, you can also have a close relationship with these seniors in the sect, even if you are outside the sect, you can also do things for these halls on behalf of your family, purchase medicinal materials and spirit mines, buy and find spirit beasts, and so on, all in all, there are many benefits." ”

Shen Shi smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't imagine that a small tabula rasa and a few inconspicuous tasks will have so many inside information." For a while, he was really in a bit depressed, and asked casually, "Are all the halls in the Lingxiao Sect like this?"

Haixing thought for a while and said, "That's not it, there are a few unpopular halls, I heard that even the newcomer disciples can't look down on them, and the door can be sparrows." ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, took the words she just said in her mind, and then said, "Are you talking about 'Menke Luoque'?"

Starfish paused for a moment, let out an "oh", and said, "Did I say it wrong, Monroe Sparrow." ”

Shen Shi rolled his eyes, and then said slowly, word by word:

"No, it's a door—but—a ro-finch. ”

The starfish followed his words, whispered a few words in his mouth, and then said slowly word by word, just like him: "Men, Ke, Luo, Finch...... Haha, that's right!"

Shen Shi looked at her smile, and his inexplicable mood suddenly improved a lot, he laughed and said, "This time I said it right." ”

Starfish clapped her hands, looking happy, and at this time it seemed that she showed a little girlish innocence, and said with a smile: "It was all taught to me by my grandfather, a lot of weird words, but it sounds good." After speaking, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly said, "Oh, there are too many idle things with you, you better hurry up and peel the shrimp, otherwise if you continue to talk like this, you won't be able to kill a few ghost shrimp today." ”

Shen Shi also came to his senses, smiled, leaned over to the shrimp pot, and reached out to pick up the sharp knife hanging on the edge of the shrimp pot.

Haixing stood aside, but he couldn't help it, and said, "However, I don't think your friend is okay, leaving you alone and going to the Spirit Beast Hall to do things, aren't you angry?"

Shen Shi shook his head and said, "He said it, and he also helped me fight for it, but the senior brother who was familiar with his relatives said that there could only be one place, and he couldn't do it." ”

Haixing pursed her lips, her good-looking lips seemed to be more and more beautiful because of this disdain, and she said to herself: "Who knows, anyway, those children of the family have a good family background, and there are more ways than ordinary people like you." ”

Shen Shi sighed and said, "This is the way of the world." ”

Starfish frowned and asked, "What is the way of the world?"

Shen Shi smiled slightly, didn't answer her, reached into the shrimp pot and grabbed a ghost-faced shrimp with teeth and claws, suddenly remembered what he said just now, turned his head with a smile and asked, "By the way, just now you said that there is still a despised Leng Qingtang in the Lingxiao Sect?"

Starfish nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Shen Shi said: "Which one?"

Starfish said: "Shutang." ”

Shen Shi thought for a while, with a somewhat uncertain tone, and hesitated: "You mean the ...... who drew the talisman?"

Haixing waved his hand and said, "It's the magic hall that is useless to draw talismans all day long!"

Shen Shi didn't know why, he was dumbfounded for a while.
