Ziwei Immortal Path

Chapter 64 The Su Brothers and Sisters
In fact, Xu Boyang didn't like this person very much in his heart, but he was useful at the moment, so he might as well give him a warning. No matter whether it would be useful or not, after all, they were all the same kind of people, and it would be a good thing if he could help him.

Now that we are still on the road, there is no point in saying more. It is better to keep him in suspense and make him confused about your intentions, so that he can move forward and backward more freely.

Xu Boyang had just turned the corner and returned to the corridor when he saw from afar a man in purple leaning on the aisle with his veil drooping. He had no idea what he meant.

"Is she waiting for me?"

A thought came to his mind, and he felt uneasy. It was because he still owed her 320 spirit stones, and he was afraid that she was here to collect the debt.

Now he only has 500 spirit stones left, so he can still spend it. However, if he spends another sum, he will become a penniless pauper.

Bourne and Boxiao's tuition fees are still hanging in the balance, and now they have another debt that must be repaid. It's really like adding insult to injury!

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh. What needs to be faced must be faced. Sooner or later, you will have to pay for what you have done.

Xu Boyang had nothing but endless gratitude towards Zi Yi. After all, the four years of cooperation and Dan Shu's blessing had been of great help to him, and he deserved this favor.

It just happened to be the most embarrassing time for me.

No matter how difficult it is, you have to pay it back.

As I approached, I heard that clear and familiar voice next to my ears.

"Ghost Face, follow me in!"

After saying that, a purple shadow flashed and entered a room.

Xu Boyang followed in without hesitation.

As soon as you enter the room, a golden barrier appears close at hand, rippling.

The fat, big-bellied, black pig-like man in the light array sat on a rattan chair with a set of tea sets placed in front of him. A small spiritual stove was boiling water, and the tea leaves were simmering.

On the other side, there was a little boy sitting on the couch, playing with the wooden horse in his hand.

A gap in the golden barrier opened silently, and Zi Yi and Xu Boyang entered one after another.

As soon as Zi Yi came in, he picked up a chair and sat next to the black pig man.

"sit."

The black pig man said softly, took a teacup and placed it opposite.

"Thank you!"

Xu Boyang did not hesitate and sat down as he was told.

"Tea please!"

The black pig man picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xu Boyang. He smiled lightly and said,

"My name is Su Yanlu. I just heard from my sister that you two are old acquaintances and have worked together before. It's rare to meet someone you know in this wilderness inn, so I specially invited you to come over for a cup of tea. Do you mind?"

"So your last name is Su... I wonder what Ziyi's name is?"

Xu Boyang picked up the teacup and glanced at Zi Yi through the mask. She was wearing a veil and lowering her head, holding a cup of hot tea in both hands, without saying a word.

"This is my younger sister, Su Zilu. The one on the couch over there is my youngest brother, Su Minglu."

Su Yanlu seemed to notice Xu Boyang's gaze and saw through his thoughts. She introduced them one by one and then continued to ask,

"Sorry, Su asked my sister, and she said your name is...something Guimian? Is your last name Gui?"

Xu Boyang laughed heartily: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Brother Su! It was just an unintentional remark back then."

Su Zilu burst out laughing and said softly, "Brother, it was just a joke from seven or eight years ago, why did you take it so seriously?"

Su Yanlu laughed heartily: "So you two have been childhood sweethearts. May I know your name?"

"Don't dare."

Xu Boyang put down his teacup. Seeing that the other party was open and honest with him, there was no point in hiding anything. He said seriously,
"My name is Xu Boyang."

After all, he had worked with Zi Yi for four years, and considering the alchemy book "Shao Yuan Dan Ding Notes" she gave him, Xu Boyang felt that there was no problem with her character and trust.

In his heart, he already regarded Zi Yi as his friend, and he was very excited to meet her here today. However, he felt a little painful when he thought about returning the spirit stone to her.

After thinking for a while, he took off the mask, revealing a face with sword-like eyebrows and a stern look.

The two did not expect Xu Boyang to be so frank. Su Yanlu smiled and said:
"Brother Xu is indeed a quick-witted person!"

After saying that, he reached out and took off the black pig mask on his face, revealing an ugly, fat face with upturned nostrils.

For a moment, Xu Boyang thought that this person might look better if he continued to wear the pig head mask.

Su Zilu paused, then lowered her head and lifted the green veil of her veil, whispering:

"Su Zilu has met Mr. Xu. I have neglected him for these years."

Xu Boyang glanced at her, took a breath of cold air, and thought to himself:

"So the purple-robed girl is so ugly. No wonder she refused to take off her veil and reveal her true appearance for so many years."

For a moment, he couldn't help feeling a little lost. After all, they had been in contact for four years, and Zi Yi's voice, like a nightingale, had long been deeply engraved in his mind. Although he had never seen her face, he naturally imagined what she looked like in his mind.

I didn’t expect that reality and fantasy were so contrary to each other. Fantasy is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Su Zilu had sallow skin, small eyes, a flat nose, and buck teeth. She was indeed quite different from the purple-clothed girl Xu Boyang had imagined.

Su Zilu looked at Xu Boyang's appearance and thought to herself:
"I didn't expect him to look like this. I thought he was a little rascal with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks. He's not handsome, but he's more formidable than my brother. He looks like an upright, chivalrous and upright man! My brother said he was a bad guy, but that's completely nonsense!"

The two of them looked at each other silently, each with their own thoughts. Su Zilu saw that he was looking at her without any disgust in his eyes, and she felt secretly happy in her heart:

"It seems I was right. He's not a playboy who judges people by their appearance."

Little did they know that Xu Boyang had been escorting people since he was a child and had seen all sorts of people. He had seen ugly people like Su Yanlu and Su Zilu, brother and sister, many times, and even people uglier than them. After seeing so many ugly people, naturally, they no longer considered them ugly.

But looking at Su Minglu sitting on the couch, she looked fair and clean, and much prettier than her brothers and sisters. I really doubted whether they were biological siblings.

Su Yanlu saw Xu Boyang glance at Su Minglu and hurriedly explained:
"Su Minglu is my cousin, Brother Xu, don't worry too much."

"That's it."

Xu Boyang nodded and said, "Your brother is innocent and adorable, but it is a pity that he will have to leave his hometown in the future."

Since they were all frank and open with each other, Xu Boyang felt that there was no need to hide anything. He deliberately changed the topic to Lingxizi to see if the other party knew anything. After all, it was better to meet two old acquaintances on this trip than that Zhang Qoros.

Su Yanlu could hear the hidden meaning in his words and sighed:
"Brother Xu, I'm ashamed to say this! My family is a small clan in Cangwu, without any background. We finally had a Lingxi child, but it was taken away by the Huang family in Cangwu. My brother and I asked people for help and searched for a long time before we found out that there is a way to save the child. We had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. This is the first time we have come out of this."

"We have just met today. I hope Brother Xu will take good care of me when we get to Zhufen Wilderness!"

"So it's a small clan under Cangwu County. I'm afraid it's not even an aristocratic family."

Xu Boyang understood and felt a sense of sympathy. He was the only cultivator in his Xu family, so he was nothing. He had a brother who was more advanced than him, but he was drugged and became a descendant of another family.

But after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong and couldn't help wondering why such a small tribe would have so many medicinal pills. He was afraid that they were making excuses. Just as he was getting suspicious, he heard Su Yanlu say:

"Brother Xu, you don't know that my family has been refining medicine for the Pei family for generations. Although we don't have much skill, sometimes the Pei family will hand over some of their waste pills and defective products to my family for disposal. Therefore, we get to handle a lot of pills, but it's just a way to make a living."

This sentence immediately dispelled Xu Boyang's doubts. No wonder Zi Yi had so many different kinds of pills in his hands. It turned out that he was picking up the spoils from other people and earning some money to support his family.

Pei family?

It seems that Chen Baochong's master's surname is Pei, and he is probably from a big family in Cangwu County, probably comparable to Yuchuan's Ling family.

"So this is their first time here too? It seems like we won't be able to find out much, but we have similar aspirations. So why not go together and help each other out when the time comes?"

Xu Boyang thought for a moment and said with a smile, "To be honest, this is my first time here too. However, after getting on the boat, I found a friend who has been here many times. I've already made an appointment with him to go with me when we reach Thousand Stars and Ten Thousand Islands Lake. If Brother Su and Miss Ziyi don't mind, why not come along with us?"

Xu Boyang was still used to calling her Ziyi, and it would be difficult to change the name he had used in recent years.

Su Yanlu slapped her thigh and said with a smile:

"That's great! I heard that the wilds of Zhufen are not peaceful. It would be great to have someone I know to lead the way!"

Afterwards, Su Yanlu asked about Xu Boyang's family affairs. Xu Boyang looked at Su Zilu and thought about it and told the truth. After all, the other party had taken the initiative to reveal their family background. It would be a bit unreasonable for him to hide anything. However, the immortal was still cultivated from the golden-clothed immortal on the big rock. He also briefly talked about his family situation in Fengqing Town.

Su Yanlu listened silently. When she heard about the Golden Immortal on the stone, she was secretly surprised, but she did not show it on her face. She nodded lightly and sighed softly:
"Brother Xu, our two families share a common fate. We are both living under someone else's roof and are controlled by others. Why don't we visit each other in the future? One more friend means one more way out."

"Brother Su is too modest."

Xu Boyang said realistically,

"From what Brother Su said, your family is a small clan backed by a large family. There should be quite a few cultivators in your family, which is much stronger than my family. It is also thanks to Miss Zi Yi's trust and support over the years that Bo Yangming is grateful. Thank you, Miss Su!"

After that, he clasped his hands together and bowed to Su Zilu earnestly. Then he took out three Yuqing and twenty spirit stones from the storage bag on his waist and placed them on the table.
"Miss Su, these are the spirit stones I paid for the elixirs I sold four years ago. I haven't been able to deliver them to you yet, so today we've settled the payment."

These words of thanks and the expression of returning the spirit stones had been in Xu Boyang's heart for many years, and today he finally had to express them!
Su Zilu smiled and then silently withdrew. Her smile revealed her big buck teeth, but it was a smile that shook the world. Xu Boyang felt his hands and feet go cold when he saw it, and he quickly lowered his head thinking it was impolite.

The three of them drank tea for a while, each with their own thoughts. Xu Boyang was worried about the child in the room, so he immediately stood up and said goodbye.

Su Yanlu had asked all the questions she needed to ask, and her mind was full of doubts. Without trying to persuade him to stay any longer, she stood up, clasped her fists, and sent Xu Boyang out.

Just after closing the door and returning to the formation, I heard Su Zilu snort coldly, her face full of displeasure, and she pouted and said:

"Great Detective Pei Yansu, look at this! Others are honest and upright, while you are playing tricks and being petty! You insist on telling me that others are bad people! I, Pei Zisu, may be a little stupid, but I'm not so stupid as to be unable to distinguish between good and evil!"

"I've known him for over seven years, and he's never had any ill intentions. He's always been sincere and respectful to me. Look, he's kept all the spirit stones for almost four years, and he still hasn't lost a cent. You've only met him twice, and you call him a bad person? What's wrong with him?"

"Is it because he doesn't want to give away his Lingxi child? You, Master Pei, come from a prominent family. How could you possibly know the hardships these small clans face? Who would be willing to give up their good life and take such a risk?"

"I think we should explain the truth to him. Even if you want to get to the bottom of this, you should investigate this Southern Witch Spiritual Artifact, that Lishan man, those three yellow rat monsters, and that 'Three Thousand Academy' instead of targeting a small clan."

"Master, Miss."

The little boy named Su Minglu jumped down from the bed, with an expression that was obviously not suitable for a child. He seemed to be reminiscing. His voice was childish, but his words were mature.

"This person looks very familiar. I seem to have seen him in Fang Cun Jian before. He seemed to have come here to buy elixirs. A cultivator who can enter Fang Cun Jian should not be a bad person."

These three people are naturally Pei Yansu, Pei Zisu and Pei Afu, who took the elixir and changed their appearance.

However, only Pei Yansu and Pei Afu took the "transformation pill", while Pei Zisu only took a "disguise pill" to change his appearance.

The names of these two kinds of elixirs look similar, but their actual effects are very different.

The "disguise pill" that Pei Zisu took was just a better Condensation Stage pill. It would be easy to recover. The changed appearance was only superficial, and could be easily seen through by a Foundation Establishment cultivator with pupil skills.

But the "Transformation Pill" is not that simple. It is the real Huangting Pill. After taking it, it can completely change the whole person. Not only can the whole person be changed, but even the cultivation level can be adjusted downward at will. As long as it is not revealed actively, no matter how powerful the pupil technique of the cultivator is, it will be difficult to detect if the cultivation level has not reached the Huangting Feathered Master.

Pei Yansu used this elixir to improve his cultivation to the ninth level of Ningyuan. Although Pei Afu had a telepathic connection with him, his cultivation was too poor and he could only reach the third level of Ningyuan. He had not even started to gather Qi, and his body turned into that of a ten-year-old boy. Naturally, all his cultivation was gone.

In addition, the effect of this "transformation pill" is more than that. Once this pill falls into the hands of the demon clan, it can greatly increase the success rate of the demon clan's transformation. It can be said to be a hot commodity that every demon clan wants.

Therefore, the immortal sect has always forbidden the possession of this transformation elixir, and the control is extremely strict. Except for the four immortal sects and a few Huangting immortal families, other families don't even have to think about it, and can't even see it.

"You two don't need to be so at loggerheads here. I'm not saying he's a bad guy. I just think there's something fishy going on here, something a little off. I haven't found the root cause yet."

Pei Yansu, who goes by the pseudonym Su Yanlu, came back and sat down with a big horse and golden sword, sipping a sip of tea.
"Sister, don't tell him about this for now. I'll reveal it to him after I figure out the whole story!"

"Humph!"

Pei Zisu, who goes by the pseudonym Su Zilu, snorted.
"Heaven and earth can bear witness to my sincerity, yet you are hiding your true intentions. I wonder what you are planning!"

"Let me be frank. No matter what you find out, you are not allowed to hurt him. Put yourself in his shoes. He treats me as a friend, so how can I treat him as an enemy?"

Pei Yansu glanced at Pei Zisu, seeing her pouting, her expression full of concern, and smiled secretly in his heart:
"I haven't seen you for seven years. My little sister has grown up and her temper has also changed a lot. My heart has gone out!"
