Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

Jiang Li was a little uneasy at the moment. He felt that Mu Xuezhi had seen through Youlan's identity, but had not pointed it out yet. He would take Youlan to the Eastern Region. This was what he had promised Youhuang, and he had to do it if he had promised.

Youlan sat alone at the edge of the deck, while Jiang Li and Mu Xuezhi sat at the table. Jiang Li poured tea for Mu Xuezhi. He hadn't seen Mu Xuezhi for a long time. When he saw her beautiful eyes again, his heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

"What kind of master do you want to find for her?"

"Someone gentler and stronger who can protect her."

"How about the Eastern Region Sword Sect?" Mu Xuezhi asked calmly.

"Do you have an acquaintance?" Jiang Li was delighted. It was a good thing that she had an acquaintance. Jiang Li could hand Youlan over to him with more confidence.

Mu Xuezhi shook her head, "No."

"..." Jiang Li was speechless.

"The Eastern Region Sword Sect has a road to heaven. It is the Sword Sect's holy spiritual weapon from ancient times to the present. It has a total of 999 levels. Each level has the sword power of the Sword Sect's predecessors. You can try to climb the steps. If you can climb more than 300 levels, you will be qualified to ask the Sword Sect to do something for you."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"Everything you do on the Heavenly Ascension Road will be sensed by the Heavenly Ascension Road. The Heavenly Ascension Road will retain your sword power for the Sword Sect's cultivators to comprehend. The Sword Sect worships the strong, but only worships sword cultivators. They are a group of true sword fanatics who will do anything for the sake of the sword. If you reach the 300th floor, you can choose the head of each peak of the Sword Sect. On the 400th floor, the elders will also agree to your request. If you can reach the 600th floor, it is not impossible for the Sword Sect's deputy leader to accept her as a personal disciple."

Jiang Li hesitated for a while and asked, "What is the personality of that Aotian Sword Emperor? Does he have any disciples?"

"Sword maniac." Mu Xuezhi briefly summarized the other person's character in two words.

"Sword fanatic? Is there no other adjective?" Jiang Li was puzzled.

"If you want Aotian Sword Emperor to accept her as a disciple, it is almost impossible. Over the years, Aotian Sword Emperor has never accepted a disciple because of insufficient talent. If you want Aotian Sword Emperor to accept her as a disciple, you must at least reach the 900th level on the road to heaven."

"If you can really get her to accept this girl as her disciple, it won't be a bad thing. Since she is a sword fanatic, then I won't control her. I will just abide by the agreement and teach her swordsmanship seriously. But the prerequisite is that you can make her willing to accept you."

“The road to heaven… have you ever walked on it?”

"I went there once ten years ago. It was on the 627th floor."

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment. Mu Xuezhi's sword power could be said to be the strongest he had ever seen. So far, he had not seen anyone with a stronger sword power than Mu Xuezhi. But even Mu Xuezhi could only climb to the 627th floor. Jiang Li could not help but ask again, "Then how many floors can Aotian Sword Emperor climb himself?"

"When I went there ten years ago, she was already able to reach the 967th floor. I wonder if she has improved in the past ten years."

"What is the level of Aotian Sword Emperor's cultivation?" Jiang Li asked curiously.

"The first level of Mahayana."

"Huh?" Jiang Li widened his eyes.

The Taoist name he chose is so wild, cool and awesome, why is his cultivation only at the first level of Mahayana?

Mu Xuezhi looked at Jiang Li deeply.

"Twenty years ago, Aotian Sword Emperor and Dongyu Dao Sect's Sect Master Feng Xiaoyun had a duel. After that battle, Yun Xi Nian's defeat that year caused all his meridians to be broken, his Qi Sea to be shattered, and he stopped holding a sword for twenty years. His Dao heart was shattered. Do you know what Yun Xi Nian's cultivation level is?"

"What kind of cultivation?" Jiang Li asked casually.

"The first level of the Supreme Saint."

Jiang Li’s brain suddenly crashed.

"Aotian Sword Emperor has been pursuing swords all her life and doesn't care much about her cultivation. However, her sword power has already penetrated heaven and earth and she has mastered it. It can be said that she is the person with the strongest sword power in the world. If she can accept that girl as her disciple, it would indeed be a good thing. However, are you sure you can reach above the 900th floor?" Mu Xuezhi raised the corners of her lips with a playful smile.

She was looking forward to seeing Jiang Li confidently assure her that he could do it, and then getting slapped in the face.

"Try your best."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li sighed this time, and was obviously not very confident. Mu Xuezhi suddenly felt a little bored. She looked at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, "When you were away, a fox from the Fengling Yueying Sect came to look for you."

"Su Xixi?"

"Not sure, it seems she left a photo stone for you."

"Again?" Jiang Li widened his eyes.

Last time, he finally learned his lesson and destroyed the photo stone that Su Xixi left for him, so why did she send him another one?

"It seems that you have left a lot of peach blossom debts outside." Mu Xuezhi's eyes seemed to have some deep meaning.

Jiang Li looked into her eyes and suddenly felt a little guilty. He would have to see Zhu Junhuang again on the day of the Five Regions Competition. There would also be Zhu Taozhi and Zhu Qiutang at that time. Sooner or later, the truth would be revealed. Jiang Li was thinking about when to find Yue Ji, Bai Sheng, and Jiang Jin to confess and try to get leniency.

"Have you got Youhuang's blood soul bead?" Mu Xuezhi asked indifferently.

"He sacrificed his soul into the Soul Banner and gave it to me." Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, "The Blood Soul Orb was destroyed by me."

Mu Xuezhi didn't say anything, but just looked into his eyes calmly.

Jiang Li tried hard to not look so guilty, "Really, everyone in the Blood Spirit Sect is dead."

"Guess how I knew that the Blood Soul Sect was in Huo Luo City?"

"Do you have an insider?"

Mu Xuezhi looked at him with contempt, the answer was self-evident, and then her eyes fell on Youlan who was sitting beside her. Mu Xuezhi's voice gradually became colder, "You can be promiscuous, I don't care about you, but you have to distinguish right from wrong."

"I know." Jiang Li answered seriously, "If anything happens in the future, I will be responsible."

Mu Xuezhi's sword force had already condensed the moment she spoke, but Jiang Li's sword force also appeared at the same time. The two sword forces collided for a moment. Mu Xuezhi glanced at him coldly, and finally retracted all the sword forces.

She could see that Jiang Li had a lot of hidden injuries on his body at the moment.

Jiang Li's cultivation level at the moment is fixed at the first level of Lianxu, but the injuries on his meridians are almost riddled with holes, and even his internal organs are being broken and repaired time and time again. At the moment, he still looks like nothing is wrong, he is just holding on.

But when the swords collided just now, Mu Xuezhi made a new discovery.

"Your sword skills seem to have improved?"

"It can't be considered progress, but it can be considered that I have learned something new."

"Ok?"

"My previous sword style was called Ding Feng Bo." Jiang Li thought for a moment, "It probably means that a sword is just a sword, without any other meanings. I practice sword purely for the sake of practicing sword."

"What about the new sword moves?"

"I don't care whether it has a name or not. The new sword style probably means... to be more free-spirited."

Jiang Li was always troubled by his mood some time ago. He was the culprit who caused Youhuang to die. He knew that Youhuang was extremely evil, but he had no grudge against Youhuang. Many cultivators regarded themselves as righteous cultivators, but Jiang Li was always confused. He didn't know when he could represent justice?

He thought for a long time and sorted out his thoughts. He drew his sword only to save Jiang Chuyue. It had nothing to do with the so-called justice or the heinous blood debt committed by Youhuang.

Why use a sanctimonious excuse to appease your conscience?

It was at that time that a new sword force quietly emerged in his mind.

Mu Xuezhi was silent for a moment, "Don't you want to give it a name?"

"No one else can learn my sword moves, so why give it a name? Should I shout it out when I'm fighting with others?" Jiang Li shrugged. He always felt that it was a bit weird. How could he shout the name of his own moves while fighting with others? Would it make him more powerful?

"It's up to you." Mu Xuezhi said lightly. Jiang Li stood up, walked to the deck and sat down.

Youlan was still staring at the clouds without saying anything. She seemed to have really lost her soul. Jiang Li was silent for a while, then said softly, "I will send you to the East Region to practice swordsmanship as agreed. I will be in Xuantian Daoji Sect from now on. If one day you succeed in practicing swordsmanship and want to come to Xuantian Daoji Sect to kill me, I will wait for you."

Youlan turned her head, her eyes revealing no trace of hatred for him.

"I will definitely... kill you."

"I told you, I'll wait for you." Jiang Li replied softly, "Go take a nap. When you wake up, we'll be in the East Region."

Chapter 255: Chapter What can you do to me?

It takes two days to travel from Huo Luo Kingdom to the Eastern Sword Sect.

The distance was not very far. Youlan had already returned to her room and had not gone out for the whole day. Jiang Li was tactful enough not to call her out for some fresh air. The hatred in Youlan's eyes was real. Jiang Li knew that she hated him, but he could do nothing about it.

At this moment, Mu Xuezhi was sitting on a chair, gazing at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, while Jiang Li was regulating his breathing. Every time he abandoned his cultivation, his meridians would suffer great damage. Fortunately, his acupoint was the Tianyan Divine Acupoint, otherwise, if he abandoned his cultivation like this, his body would be completely ruined after one or two times.

"I want to participate in this year's Zhongzhou competition." Jiang Li suddenly said.

Mu Xuezhi glanced at him calmly, not seeming surprised at all. She didn't even bother to ask him the reason, but just nodded slightly. However, Jiang Li winked at her at this moment, "So what Sect Master Mu said before, that as long as I participate, he will practice dual cultivation with me, does it still count?"

There was no anger in Mu Xuezhi's eyes, but instead the corners of her lips curled up.

When she smiled, her cold face was so beautiful that Jiang Li was distracted for a moment, and the next moment all the tea on the table was splashed on his face.

"If you want to die, I can send you off sooner."

Jiang Li silently wiped the water stains off his face with a handkerchief. Mu Xuezhi splashed him with the same tea she had just drunk. Jiang Li glanced at the edge of the cup. The smile on his face was still a little bit slutty. Mu Xuezhi glanced at him and quickly knew what he was thinking. She couldn't help but ask, "After going to the Northern Territory, you have become even more lewd and slutty?"

"That's good. Master Mu, please scold me more. I love to hear it."

Mu Xuezhi didn't seem to react, but she suddenly raised her calf under the table and stepped hard on Jiang Li's foot. Jiang Li hugged her leg and almost cried, "Stepping on toes is a trick only used by children!"

"As long as it works." Mu Xuezhi replied calmly.

Jiang Li took a long time to recover. He looked at the sea of ​​clouds like Mu Xuezhi did, and no longer looked at Mu Xuezhi. The sea of ​​clouds was very beautiful, and one could look at it for a long time. In fact, after returning from the Northern Territory, when he saw Mu Xuezhi again, he suddenly felt that Mu Xuezhi was not so attractive to him anymore.

He couldn't explain the reason, maybe he simply felt that Mu Xuezhi was just like that, she was no longer so cold and proud in front of him, maybe it was because Zhu Junhuang loved him unconditionally, or maybe it was because he saw that Mu Xuezhi was finally a little moved. From that moment on, the almighty goddess became boring and it was difficult to touch his heart like before.

But Mu Xuezhi's eyes were indeed particularly beautiful. If there was a chance, Jiang Li still wanted to see her cry.

Mu Xuezhi glanced at Jiang Li's profile. She felt vaguely that Jiang Li seemed to have changed this time, but she couldn't tell. He was no longer as respectful to her as before. This gap made Mu Xuezhi feel a little uncomfortable.

She knew the reason, but after thinking about it, she thought that maybe this little bastard did it on purpose. She had never been able to clear the fog and truly see the true face of this little bastard. She had seen his so-called affectionate side and his so-called promiscuous side, so it was difficult to tell what kind of person he was.

The two of them were silent for a long time, until Mu Xuezhi slowly spoke, "That girl said she wanted to kill you."

"That requires the power first."

"Aren't you afraid of the consequences?"

Jiang Li thought for a moment, "Some things always have to be paid for. I have a scale in my heart. If she said she wanted to kill me, I would kill her at this moment. I would feel guilty."

"Why didn't you mention conscience when you dumped those women you hooked up with?"

Jiang Li didn't care about Mu Xuezhi's ridicule. Instead, he smiled and said, "How can these two things be compared? Even if I was abandoned, so what? They are sad because they can't bear to part with me. What can they not bear to part with? I brought them beautiful illusions, but before I was born, they had never suffered. In the end, it was only their own greed that was at work. They couldn't bear to see those beautiful illusions disappear, so they shed tears and couldn't bear to part with them."

"This is the first time I've heard someone describe the concept of having an affair and then abandoning it in such a refreshing and refined way."

"As you said, love has never existed in this world. That's just a lie, isn't it?"

"Don't you believe it?"

"I never said I didn't believe it. I'm just good at deceiving myself. They are also good at deceiving themselves. They deceive themselves into believing that they are in love with me, instead of the greed for beautiful illusions in their hearts. Once they fall in love with me, it will be the beginning of their pain, because then everything about them will be held tightly in my hands. If I want her to cry, she will cry. If I want her to laugh, she will laugh. So it is a good thing for me to leave them as soon as possible. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one."

"Since you are going to leave them sooner or later, wasn't it your selfish desires that caused you to hook up with them in the beginning? You sound so righteous." Mu Xuezhi curled her lips, as if she was determined to win the debate against Jiang Li today.

"I have always been a scumbag. When did I ever say I was a gentleman?" Jiang Li's eyes widened. "Are you crazy? Do you still think I am a gentleman?"

Mu Xuezhi was once again choked by him and was speechless.

She really had no idea how to deal with Jiang Li's bad conversation style.

Jiang Li lazily leaned back in his chair, not hiding his pride, but after a while, he sighed inexplicably, "But, I still don't think I did anything wrong. At least I gave her a wonderful illusion. There are not so many gifts in this world that are given for no reason. If you want to gain, you have to pay. Since I have gained a beautiful illusion, what does it matter if I suffer for a while?"

"Do you think every woman is that stupid? That they will be fooled by you like a fool? And that they will let you show off proudly here?"

"I'm not showing off." Jiang Li shook his head helplessly. "Of course not every woman is so stupid, but once I meet a woman who has absolutely no chance, I will just give up. As long as I don't make a move, I won't fail, so as to avoid getting deeper and deeper into trouble."

Mu Xuezhi's body suddenly stiffened for a moment, and she seemed to suddenly understand where the changes she sensed in Jiang Li came from.

"I thought you were so proud that you thought all the women in the world would like you?" Mu Xuezhi sneered.

"Come on, I'm not that proud. I just want to be loved. There's nothing wrong with being loved."

"It's wrong to cheat on other people's feelings."

The smile on Jiang Li's face turned playful again, "Do you dare to make a bet with me? After returning to the sect, go and ask the ninety-nine sisters and junior sisters who have had ambiguous relationships with me, how many of them hate me, and how many of them miss me? So, I'll raise the stakes a little bit. If you can find more than ten people who hate me to the core, then I will be your dog from now on, and I will do whatever you ask me to do, forever and ever. But if you lose, then let me kiss you, how about that?"

According to common sense, this bet was absolutely fair. Mu Xuezhi was really tempted for a moment, but when she looked at the confident smile on Jiang Li's face and the deliberately smug expression on his face, she vaguely guessed that Jiang Li was clearly setting a trap for her.

She won't be fooled easily.

Mu Xuezhi sneered, "I'm too lazy to bet with you on such a boring thing. I want to know, haven't you given up in the face of difficulties?"

"Keeping down in the face of difficulties does not affect my desire to kiss Sect Master Mu's beautiful face."

Mu Xuezhi looked at him with contempt and said nothing more. Jiang Li asked tentatively, "You really don't want to gamble?"

"No gambling."

Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"why are you laughing?"

Jiang Li laughed happily, and after a while he spoke, "There are probably about 15 or 16 people who still hate me. When I separated from them, six of them were having affairs with them, and they were accidentally exposed one day. So they all hated me and wanted to kill me. There were also a few who were childish and stubborn, and I just lost my patience at the time, so I just shook them off."
