Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

Su Xixi was sitting in the corner, so Jiang Li followed her to the corner. She was drawing a Xuan-level talisman paper, and there was a pile of materials next to it.

Drawing talismans is actually a very expensive practice, because you need to be skilled in drawing good talisman paper, but if you fail once, all the materials will be wasted. It is estimated that only Jiang Li can increase his proficiency by simply drawing talismans on blank paper. Otherwise, the proficiency of talisman paper consumed from yellow level to absolute level is an extremely scary number, and not everyone has the ability to comprehend it.

Therefore, it is said that a perfect talisman master is rare among millions.

She drew an ice talisman. Jiang Li took a look at the several useless talismans next to it and immediately understood where her problems with the details lay. They were all simple. Su Xixi was looking at him expectantly. Jiang Li told her some details, then casually picked up a pen used for drawing talisman paper and drew one for her in a simpler way. Su Xixi tried to draw it once and succeeded easily.

She picked up the talisman paper and went to the open space to test it. The quality of the talisman paper was very good, and the ice talisman was already a mid-level Xuan-level talisman paper. Su Xixi smiled happily. She turned and looked at Jiang Li, "Thank you, Master Jiang Li."

"You have a good talent. You can become an earth-level talisman master in a few months." Jiang Li said simply, but his eyes were fixed on her slender calves under her skirt.

Su Xixi's eyes revealed a moment of contempt and disdain, but it was only a flash. Her smile was still sweet. She walked to Jiang Li's side and said, "Master Jiang Li... can you teach me a little more?"

She leaned a little closer, put her hands behind her back, and swung her fox tail gently.

Jiang Li looked at the smile on her face, but he replied, "I'll teach you next time I have a chance. I just came here after a day of riding on the spirit boat, and I'm a little tired."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without any reluctance. He found a corner to sit down, as if he was resting his eyes. He heard footsteps, but he didn't open his eyes. Someone came around behind him, and before he could say anything, a pair of slender hands had already rested on his shoulders.

Jiang Li opened his eyes and turned his head. Su Xixi was smiling at him from behind. The smile on her face was a little shy. Seeing Jiang Li turning his head, she whispered, "Thank you for your troubles for me earlier, Mr. Jiang Li. Please give me a chance to help you relax."

“That’s not necessary.”

"After all, there's nothing I can do to repay Master Jiang Li." The strength of Su Xixi's hand was just right. Jiang Li simply stopped talking and just sighed in his heart, wondering how much Ye Guixu had boasted about him in front of these beast girls?

Otherwise, Su Yaoyao wouldn't be so eager.

The little green tea girls all know how to wait for the price to rise. The valuable ones will naturally go for it, while the worthless ones will just be sold first and then all the resources that can be squeezed out will be used. Su Xixi kept pressing on like this for a while, and Jiang Li suddenly reached out and gently grasped her hand.

Su Xixi subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, looking frightened, but Jiang Li's smile was so gentle, "Okay, okay."

He loosened his hand, and Su Yaoyao quickly withdrew her hand. But just as she was about to say something else, Jiang Li spoke first, "Miss Su's hands are so beautiful."

Su Xixi was startled, then she suppressed her surprised expression and spread her hands in front of Jiang Li. Her fingers were slender and white like green onions, and her nails were neatly trimmed. She seemed a little shy, "Really?"

Jiang Li casually took out a jade bracelet and said, "This is our first meeting, so I'll give this to Miss Su as a gift."

Su Xixi's eyes revealed even more contempt at that moment, but she hid it so well. She hesitated for a moment, bit her lip lightly, and stretched out her delicate hand in front of Jiang Li, saying softly, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Jiang Li to put it on for me."

Jiang Li gently grasped her hand and put the jade bracelet on her. Su Xixi's smile widened. She gently raised her hand and said, "It's really beautiful."

"Then I also have a gift for Master Jiang Li."

Su Xixi looked embarrassed. After a moment, she took out a white sword tassel and handed it to Jiang Li. She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks slightly red. "Xixi made this herself. I don't know if it will please Master Jiang Li."

"It looks pretty good." Jiang Li nodded and then put it away.

Su Xixi gazed at his cheek tenderly, and she said softly, "My sister went to Xuantian Daoji Sect to learn swordsmanship a few days ago. I wonder if you know how she is doing now?"

"You mean Yaoyao?"

"OK."

"She happened to follow me to Fengling Yueying Sect, and she has been learning swordsmanship from me recently."

"As...you?" Su Xixi was stunned.

"Yes." Jiang Li nodded, "Do you want to meet her?"

"Then I'll come visit you later. Are you staying in Master Ye's cave?"

"Yes."

Su Xixi nodded slightly, then said goodbye to Jiang Li and continued to study the talisman paper. Jiang Li looked at her leaving back, thoughtful.

...The probability of winning in three days is not very high.

The easiest to conquer are girls who lack love. Because of their desire for love, they can easily fall into love-brain. The hardest to deal with are those who have never lacked love and treat love as a toy.

If you want to deal with a girl like this, you have to use some tricks. First, directly destroy the personality she has created and make her die in the social sense. Second, give her the illusion that she can easily play with you, and then make a sudden change to make her feel that the duck she had already got flew away. The sense of gap will make her subconsciously want to pay more to satisfy her desire for control again.

The bracelet that Jiang Li gave her just now was a small earth-level magic weapon, which he carved casually. But it was actually quite valuable. He could give her such a gift on their first meeting, so in Su Xixi's eyes, he should be a big fat sheep.

Jiang Li went to grab Ye Guixu who was flirting with his dog girl and said, "Let's go, Brother Ye, you said you would take me somewhere else to hang out."

Ye Guixu followed him obediently and left the yard. Then Jiang Li looked straight ahead and said calmly, "The fox named Su Xixi will come to our yard later."

"Got it! How do you need me to cooperate, Brother Jiang?"

"You don't have to cooperate. You just need to let her guess that I already know about her previous deception of you and Ye Linglong."

Jiang Li looked relaxed, while Ye Guixu looked eager, "Brother Jiang, have you made up your mind?"

"Not at all." Jiang Li shrugged.

He turned his head to look at Ye Guixu and sighed helplessly, "Without desire, one is strong. One should always have the mentality of moving on to the next one if one fails. The more one works hard and the more one cares about the result, the more likely one is to fail. It is also easier for one to fall into delusion after failure. One can gain more by taking it easy."

"I'm not teaching you to be a jerk. I'm just targeting those who are very coquettish and flirty but won't touch you. When you meet someone you really like, it's better to be sincere to them. Sincerity is the ultimate skill."

"Brother Jiang, I understand. This is the gap between our realms. I will definitely work hard to comprehend it!"

"..." Jiang Li thought he should just shut up.

Children cannot be taught!

----------

ps: It is possible that you will be admitted to two campuses recently, so be mentally prepared.

But it's just a possibility. I haven't decided whether it will be open or not. Writing about the campus is a bit of a thankless task... I'll just keep worrying about it.

Chapter 189: Chapter : Holding an Umbrella

There are no stars or moon tonight, but the fluorite light makes the courtyard as bright as day.

At this moment, Jiang Li, Su Yaoyao, Ye Guixu and Ye Linglong were sitting at a square table. Jiang Li spent three incense sticks teaching them the rules of mahjong. These people were smart and learned quickly, and now the four-person mahjong table was quite lively.

It was Ye Guixu who first proposed to increase the stakes, so the base bet became 500 spirit stones per game. This stake was not that high. As the saint sons and saint daughters of the sect, Ye Guixu and Ye Linglong were naturally rich men. However, Su Yaoyao bit her lip lightly, looking embarrassed.

Jiang Li's eyes were slightly surprised. Logically speaking, Su Yaoyao was the daughter of the Fox Emperor, so she shouldn't be so short of money. Su Yaoyao lowered her head and muttered softly, "I can only play with 20,000 spirit stones at most. If I have more... I can't afford it."

Jiang Li could see that Su Yaoyao still wanted to play with everyone.

He didn't care. The four of them played mahjong for an hour. Su Yaoyao actually won tens of thousands of spirit stones. The one who lost the most was Ye Guixu, but it was not a big deal. When they were tired of playing, Ye Guixu took out two plump and juicy pears from his storage ring like a magic trick.

"Brother Jiang, these are the pears that will be distributed at the banquet tomorrow."

Ye Guixu was quite generous in his donation, and he didn't seem to feel any pain at all. However, Jiang Li still asked, "What's so mysterious about this pear?"

"It bears fruit once every ten years. It contains the spiritual energy of heaven. After taking it, it can make it easier to overcome minor tribulations. It also has the effect of warming the body. If some acupoints are not severely blocked, there is a chance that they can open the acupoints and widen the meridians, which can improve the foundation of cultivation." Ye Guixu's tone was very low-key.

But according to what he said, this pear is actually a treasure. After all, there are many spiritual fruits that can improve cultivation, but spiritual fruits that can improve the foundation of cultivation are extremely rare. Jiang Li asked again, "How many fruits will be produced every ten years?"

"There are only about a hundred of them. My sister and I got two extra ones in advance."

Jiang Li smiled helplessly, "Why are you so generous?"

"My relationship with Brother Jiang is worth more than just these two pears. Besides, there are still four first prizes in tomorrow's competition. It's a pity that Jiang Huanyang went to the East Region and didn't come. I can't dampen his enthusiasm."

Jiang Li pushed one of the pears back, leaving one behind, and then put it to Su Yaoyao's lips, "Here you go."

Su Yaoyao raised her head and let out a sound.

"My foundation has long been unable to improve even a little bit, so I don't need this kind of thing."

Su Yaoyao still wanted to refuse, but Jiang Li put the pear directly on her pink lips. She finally opened her mouth and took a bite. The juice was very sweet. Su Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, blushing, and held the pear close to Jiang Li's mouth, "Try it too."

Jiang Li took a bite of the place she hadn't bitten before and stopped eating. He looked at Ye Guixu and asked, "Is there going to be a competition tomorrow?"

"It's to establish an image for the sect. If you win the first prize, you will get four pears. Brother Jiang, do you want to participate?"

Jiang Li thought about it and said, "It's too bullying. Forget it."

It was indeed bullying. Those who participated were probably the geniuses from small sects in Zhongzhou. Although he couldn't use sword power now, his cultivation had reached the late Nascent Soul stage. There was no need for him to compete with them for these things.

Jiang Li looked at Su Yaoyao again and asked, "Su Xixi is your sister?"

Su Yaoyao, who was chewing a pear, was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Yeah."

"Is she nice to you?"

Su Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, "I...haven't spoken to my sister much."

Jiang Li nodded. At this moment, rain was hitting the banana leaves outside the courtyard. Jiang Li looked at the door, which was only half-closed. After a moment, a slender hand gently pushed the door open. In the night, Su Xixi was wearing a black long dress with a high collar and a backless design. Her black hair was neatly combed, and her cheeks were adorned with some makeup. Her snow-white fox ears were erected high, and there was a smile on the corners of her mouth.

"Yaoyao." Su Xixi came to Su Yaoyao. Su Yaoyao raised her head. She was still holding the pear in her hand and hadn't finished eating it. Her eyes were confused and she whispered, "Sister..."

Su Xixi looked down at the pear in her hand. She was stunned for a moment, and a trace of jealousy that was difficult for ordinary people to detect flashed in her eyes.

She was very smart and she sorted out the relationship between the four people present in a short time. Previously, Ye Guixu had often boasted in front of those beast girls about how powerful his brother Jiang Li was. Su Xixi could see that Ye Guixu was definitely a very arrogant person, but he was willing to say that, so Jiang Li's identity must have something worthy of his flattery. So this pear should have come from one of the two siblings, but now it was in Su Yaoyao's hand, so it should have been given to Su Yaoyao by Jiang Li.

Jiang Li said before that Su Yaoyao was learning sword from him, but Su Xixi found it unbelievable. She knew the relationship between her mother and Mu Xuezhi, and Mu Xuezhi would naturally not be perfunctory to her mother, but why did she let Jiang Li teach? Could it be that Jiang Li's swordsmanship was not much different from Mu Xuezhi's?

Su Xixi's relationship with Ye Guixu and Ye Linglong was not at the freezing point. They were all talking and laughing before, but the two siblings were very smart. After they suffered a loss, they stopped contacting her, but it was definitely not to the point of breaking up. It could only be said that they suffered a loss in silence. Su Yaoyao had thought that Ye Guixu would not tell Jiang Li about such an embarrassing thing before, but now seeing that they have such a close relationship, it seems that there is nothing wrong with talking about this embarrassing thing.

Su Xixi looked towards Jiang Li, and sure enough, Jiang Li's eyes now looked at her with a hint of coldness and sarcasm.

To suffer.

But Su Xixi had already made such a bad plan early on. However, since Jiang Li could easily give this particularly precious pear to Su Yaoyao, he must have more good treasures. He was so generous, and if Su Xixi couldn't get some money from him, she would not be able to sleep at night.

She clearly remembered the infatuated look Jiang Li had given her before. No matter how rational and sober a man was, he would still act foolishly when his head was filled with blood. So Su Xixi smiled and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for taking care of Yaoyao during this period."

"Yaoyao is very cute, it's her duty." Jiang Li pinched Su Yaoyao's ears gently. Su Yaoyao's cheeks suddenly turned red with shame. She lowered her head slightly. Many people were watching her.

Ye Guixu yawned and said he was going to sleep. Ye Linglong understood immediately and got up to rest as well. Suddenly, only Su Yaoyao, Su Xixi and Jiang Li were left in the yard.

Jiang Li smiled amusedly, "Why are the two siblings sleepy when you come?"

Even though she was prepared, Su Xixi still felt a little nervous. The fox tail behind her swayed gently, and she whispered, "Mr. Jiang Li, you don't know that there are some misunderstandings between me and Brother Guixu."

"Ok?"

"When I first arrived at the sect, Brother Guixu was very kind to me and was willing to personally teach me the art of talisman paper. I had no one to rely on when I first came here, so I treated Brother Guixu as a good brother. But later I gradually realized that Brother Guixu seemed to want to be more than just my brother. But my marriage is decided by my mother, so I had to decline Brother Guixu's offer. Brother Guixu gave me a lot of resources for drawing talismans before. If I return to the Fox Clan in the future and have the opportunity to come to Zhongzhou again, I will definitely return all those gifts one by one."

Jiang Li looked as if he had suddenly realized something, "So that's how it is."

"Did Brother Guixu say something to Master Jiangli? It's all Xixi's fault. If Xixi had discovered it earlier, she wouldn't have misunderstood and there wouldn't have been such a big misunderstanding..." Su Xixi bit her lip lightly, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Gui Xu is not a stingy person. Some things can be said openly. He won't care." Jiang Li answered. Su Xixi also pretended to be relieved. She reached out and gently grasped Jiang Li's arm. "Then I'll have to trouble Master Jiang Li to convey it to me and Brother Gui Xu."

"Okay, I'll talk to him."

"How old is Master Jiang Li this year?"

"Me? I just turned twenty."

"I won't be twenty for another month, so can I call Master Jiang Li brother?"

"It's up to you." Jiang Li's tone was still a little cold, but it seemed like he pretended to be so.

"Then Brother Jiang Li, just call me Xixi." Su Xixi tightened her grip on Jiang Li's arm.

"You two sisters have interesting names."

"Brother Jiang Li is joking." Su Xixi's fox ears trembled slightly, "Has Brother Jiang Li been to Fengling Yueying Sect before?"

“I came here once, but I didn’t take a close look.”

"On the top of the sect's Moon-Watching Mountain, there are always fireflies flying around, and the scenery is particularly beautiful. I went there once before and sat there for two hours. I felt very happy. I wonder if Brother Jiang Li is interested?"

"Now?"

"Yeah, I want to go and have a look. Those fireflies are very beautiful."

Su Xixi gently shook Jiang Li's arm, moved closer to him, and softened her tone, "Brother Jiang Li, please sit with me for a while."

Jiang Li seemed to be unable to bear it and nodded with a helpless smile. He glanced at Su Yaoyao behind him. Su Yaoyao just lowered her head and listened to the two people talking with her fox ears perked up. When Jiang Li looked at her, her fox ears drooped down again.

"Yaoyao?" Jiang Li called her name softly.

Su Yaoyao raised her head, and her eyes flashed with anticipation. But seeing that Jiang Li seemed a little embarrassed, she stood up and said in a panic, "I, I'm going to bed too."

Jiang Li reached out and rubbed her head, "Then go to sleep first, I'll call you tomorrow morning."

Su Yaoyao nodded obediently, and then hurried to her room in the yard. Jiang Li looked at Su Xixi. Su Xixi picked up the umbrella that she had put aside. It was still drizzling outside the yard, so she held the umbrella over their heads.

"I'll hold an umbrella for Brother Jiang Li." She said softly, and unconsciously moved closer to Jiang Li. When Jiang Li looked at her, she lowered her head again, and her cheeks seemed to blush a little.

"The umbrella is a little small. I need to stay closer to brother Jiang Li."

"I'll hold the umbrella." Jiang Li reached out and grabbed the umbrella. Su Xixi hummed softly and moved a little closer to Jiang Li.
