Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"You look happy?"

At night, Mu Xuezhi sat on the deck, looking at Jiang Li who was happily playing the flute.

This guy usually looks either dazed or gloomy, and he has a gentle face when talking to women. But it is very rare to see him smiling.

But Jiang Li seems to be smiling very happily now.

"It's like this, the Zhongzhou competition is at the end of the month, right?" Jiang Li asked Mu Xuezhi.

"Yes."

"Okay, Sect Master Mu, when the time comes, you go back to Xuantian Daoji Sect first, and I'll go to Fengling Yueying Sect."

"What to do?"

"Go find Ye Chen and get the holy talisman, so that it will be convenient for you to take action later."

Mu Xuezhi responded indifferently.

The spirit boat sailed for another whole day and stopped at Fengling Yueying Sect. Jiang Li flew down on his sword and came directly to the gate of Ye Guixu's courtyard. In the courtyard, Ye Guixu was studying talisman paper. There was also the aroma of food in the courtyard, as if Ye Linglong was cooking.

"I want a free meal." Jiang Li walked in front of Ye Guixu. Ye Guixu looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother Jiang, why are you here?"

"I came to your clan leader to order something, but there's no rush, just a meal first."

Ye Linglong happened to come out of the kitchen with vegetables in her arms. She glanced at Jiang Li and said, "I only cooked for two people."

Jiang Li watched eagerly.

“So Guixu, you shouldn’t eat anymore, right?” Ye Linglong said.

"...Who is your biological brother?" Ye Guixu replied resentfully, and came to the table. He shared the steamed spiritual rice among the three of them. They had a sumptuous lunch. While eating, Ye Guixu talked about interesting things.

"Brother Jiang, I thought of something."

"what?"

"After you left, Su Xixi seemed to have changed her personality. She spent all day drawing talismans and practicing. She didn't even play with the monsters from the Western Regions. It is said that she stayed in her room with red eyes all day. It is also said that she drew a lot of paintings, and all of them were of a man."

"Brother Jiang, guess who it is?" Ye Guixu seemed to be enjoying the fun.

"Did you hear this from other demon tribes?"

"Yes."

"It's just pretend." Jiang Li shrugged. "Building momentum first, a common tactic. I got tired of this trick a few years ago."

Ye Guixu didn't know where to start complaining for a moment. After lunch, Jiang Li lazily leaned on the recliner and rested for a while. Then he asked Ye Guixu to lead the way to see Ye Chen. Ye Chen was still in seclusion in that small world. When Jiang Li saw him, he was still looking up and comprehending the three holy talismans.

Ye Guixu was very tactful and went out on his own. Ye Chen lowered his head and looked at Jiang Li, with a little more surprise in his eyes, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Your cultivation level..."

"Just a slight improvement." Jiang Li was a little modest.

Small opening does not count as opening.

Besides, if it's open, does it mean it's open?

"But your cultivation is still not enough." There seemed to be some hesitation in Ye Chen's eyes.

"I know what Sect Master Ye is afraid of. In order to reassure Sect Master Ye, Sect Master Ye, I will strike with my sword."

Jiang Li took out the spiritual sword that Bai Sheng gave him, and the Xuehua sword. He held the two swords tightly in his hands. One sword used his own sword energy, and the other sword was Wen Liqing's Zhantian. He held the two swords tightly in his hands. He drew his sword at Ye Chen, and the sword energy enveloped this small world in an instant. Ye Chen raised his hand, and countless spiritual talismans surrounded him. Jiang Li's sword tip also arrived soon. The two spiritual swords chopped nearly a thousand spiritual talismans around Ye Chen, and the sword tip finally stopped in front of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's expression did not change, so Jiang Li spoke naturally, "How much strength did Sect Master Ye consume?"

"Twenty percent." Ye Chen's voice seemed a little regretful.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I still have at least five more swords, each of which is twenty times more powerful than this one. I will save them for those two people when the time comes. If they are forced into a corner, I can still grit my teeth and use five more swords."

"Your left-hand sword moves... look so familiar."

"Aotian Sword Emperor has taught me all her sword skills, and I have learned them." Jiang Li said calmly.

"Why did she... teach you?"

"She is my Taoist partner." Jiang Li said naturally. Ye Chen was stunned. Before he could ask any more questions, he suddenly found that the black phoenix flame was still burning on the blade of Jiang Li's right hand.

Before Ye Chen could ask, Jiang Li said, "The Queen of the Northern Territory is also my Taoist partner."

"So, Sect Master Ye, give me the holy talisman. Even if I die, they won't be able to survive. You don't have to worry about any possibility of retaliation. Besides, Mu Xuezhi will also join me in drawing the sword. This is a killing game prepared for the two of them. They are powerless to break it and have nowhere to escape."

Ye Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your game is really too simple."

"Alas, young people are not as shrewd as you." Jiang Li shrugged helplessly, "Borrow three and return six, I'm lying to you like a puppy."

Chapter 274: Chapter Pain

In the end, Ye Chen took off the three holy talismans one by one and handed them all to Jiang Li.

In fact, Jiang Li has mastered dozens of ways to draw holy talismans in his head, but he currently does not have that many souls and materials to draw them, so completing the ready-made holy talismans is the best way to increase combat power in a short period of time.

The three talismans were Divine Thunder Prison, Vermillion Bird Burning Sky, and Soul Binding. Two were talismans used directly on the physical body, and the last one was a means of attacking the soul. Jiang Li completed these talismans one by one in front of Ye Chen, and then carefully put them into his system backpack.

He had no intention of relying solely on these three talismans to defeat Jiang Xing and Jiang Mian. After all, the two were half-step saints who had practiced for thousands of years and who knew what other extraordinary skills they had. That was why Jiang Li wanted to make more preparations.

After getting the holy talisman, Jiang Li had to prepare to return home. He said goodbye to Ye Chen and walked out of this small world. Ye Guixu was waiting for him outside, but he never expected that there was a woman in a crimson tasseled long dress standing next to Ye Guixu.

Oh no, it’s not a human, it’s a fox girl.

Su Xixi's appearance is really similar to Su Yaoyao's, but unlike Su Yaoyao's timid eyes, although Su Xixi's eyes look weak, they always give people a sense of charm. When she saw Jiang Li coming out, Su Xixi took a step forward, her fingers gently grasping the belt of her skirt, but she seemed a little hesitant. Jiang Li walked to her side, and then... walked around her and walked to the edge of Yeguixu.

"Okay, now that we've settled the matter, let's find a place to chat for a while. I have to leave."

"You're in such a hurry to leave?"

"Yeah, there are still some things to take care of."

Jiang Li and Ye Guixu walked side by side. Su Xixi, who was behind them, had a gloomy look in her eyes. She didn't even have the chance to call out Jiang Li's name. Even if she called out to him at this moment, he might ignore her, which would only bring humiliation upon herself. So she didn't chase after him, but just stood there silently, watching his back disappear from her sight.

..............................

"The Zhongzhou competition will be held at the end of the month." Ye Guixu sighed, then remained silent for a moment, "Brother Jiang, do you know that Jiang Huanyang is missing?"

Jiang Li nodded, "I just met him a few days ago."

"where?"

"Inside the Blood Spirit Sect."

"Blood Soul Sect... According to the news, wasn't the entire Blood Soul Sect wiped out overnight? Why is Jiang Huanyang there?" Ye Guixu asked in a daze. Jiang Li smiled helplessly, "You will know later."

"after?"

"The Zhongzhou competition at the end of the month will be held in the Dark Moon Blood Demon Sect. You and Ye Linglong must be extra careful then. By then... there may be many variables."

"variable?"

"You'll understand then."

"Brother Jiang, why do you only speak half of your words?"

"There is no benefit in telling you some things now." Jiang Li patted his shoulder, "Anyway, you can't go wrong just by listening to me."

"Do you have any news about Jiang Chuyue?" Jiang Li asked.

"Sister Chu Yue contracted that strange disease again after returning to the sect. Brother Jiang... there may be something fishy going on here."

"I know, but it won't be long."

Jiang Li took out his sword and said, "Okay, I have to go back to the sect. See you at the end of the month. It's only a few days away."

Ye Guixu nodded and watched him disappear into the sky on his sword.

....................................

In the evening, Jiang Li returned to Xuantian Dao Ji Zong.

Dabai went back first with Mu Xuezhi. When they arrived at the bamboo building, Jiang Li saw Su Yaoyao, who was wearing a maid skirt, standing by the stream. It was already winter in Zhongzhou, but Su Yaoyao was not afraid of the cold. The hem of her skirt did not reach her knees, and half of her fair calves were submerged in the stream. She was catching fish for Dabai to eat, and Dabai looked at her encouragingly.

Hearing footsteps, Su Yaoyao raised her head and saw Jiang Li appear in front of her. Her snow-white fox ears trembled slightly. She wanted to say something, but stuttered for a long time. In the end, she only said, "You're back."

"Oh, yes." Jiang Li nodded slightly, not knowing what to say. He sat by the stream for a while, thought about it, took out a cute little earring and gave it to Su Yaoyao.

Of course, these were what he bought during his shopping trip to the Northern Territory. He bought quite a few and prepared them for the girls around him. In fact, he hadn't been away from home for a long time. This trip took almost a month. Su Yaoyao took the little earring, and her already bright eyes became even more dazzling and moving.

She seemed to have a lot to say to Jiang Li, but before she could say it, Jiang Li had already touched her head and said, "I'm going to meet Yue Ji and will be back later."

Su Yaoyao nodded obediently, so Jiang Li left the bamboo building and came to the Qiyue Pavilion.

....................................

Qiyue Pavilion, sixth floor.

Yue Ji has been waiting here for a long time.

She was wearing a wine red dress, a color that surprisingly looked good on her, making her look warm and charming. The right side of her dress was slit, and she sat on a chair, her long legs crossed, the heels of her high heels sharp, her toes swaying slightly, her eyes staring straight at Jiang Li who had pushed the door open. It was clear that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but she didn't give him a good look when they met, but just sneered, "You're back?"

Jiang Li raised his hands high, "I confess! I plead guilty!"

This shameless look made Yue Ji speechless for a moment. She raised her eyebrows and said lazily, "Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"

"I……"

Jiang Li felt that he had to pick one that wouldn't make Yue Ji mad, but it seemed like no matter what he said, it would be wrong, so he walked to Yue Ji first, and naturally lifted her slit skirt to the side, touching her snowy thighs with his fingertips, gently pinching them while saying softly, "This trip to the Northern Territory is to resolve my relationship with women..."

"Did you solve it?"

It takes a lot of courage to tell the truth.

Jiang Li looked into Yue Ji's eyes, pondered for a while, and nodded, "It's...solved."

"What's the solution?"

"Just...just...you understand."

"I don't know."

"Just...confirming the relationship or something." Jiang Li replied guiltily.

Yue Ji said "oh".

Jiang Li waited silently for a while, but the expected storm did not come. He looked up at Yue Ji in surprise, but Yue Ji's eyes were looking out the window, as if she was in a daze.

After a while, Jiang Li asked tentatively, "Just...oh?"

Only then did Yue Ji finally turn her head to look at him, but her eyes became a little complicated.

After a long moment, she sighed softly.

"When you were little, you only had me and Jinbie around you. Sometimes Jinbie would get jealous of me, but as a sister, I couldn't be jealous of Jinbie. But when I think about it, it doesn't matter. A sister should give in to her sister. Anyway, I think the three of us will be together in the future, so no matter how close you and Jinbie are, I don't care."

"Later, you took the initiative to pursue Mu Bingning, but you never told me or asked for my opinion. But I couldn't stop you from liking her. Who you like is your business. I was so happy when you were rejected. I laughed secretly in my heart when I hugged you that night. I thought that this is good. You won't hook up with other women casually in the future."

"But who could have thought that after being rejected by Mu Bingning, you would become even worse. You hooked up with so many women in Xuantian Dao Jizong for a few years. At that time, I couldn't say anything to you, but I wasn't that worried. I thought that your cultivation level would not be that high in the future, and you would no longer practice so hard, so there would always be times when you needed me. I have my Qiyue Pavilion, and I can always support you. No matter what, I am very important to you."

"You have always been important in my heart." Jiang Li couldn't help but interrupt her.

"I know." Yue Ji said softly, "But for me, I have to be able to do something for you to bring myself a sense of security, otherwise I always feel like a dispensable woman."

Jiang Li sighed softly. Before he could say anything, Yue Ji stretched out her fingertips and blocked his lips, "Let me finish."

"Ah."

"But since I met Bai Sheng, you seem to be different again. In the first four years, I was always worried that you would be bullied because of your low cultivation level, and I hoped that you would shine brightly. But now your light is too dazzling, and I can hardly see your figure. You have already reached the fifth level of the Void Refining Realm, and I have just passed the minor tribulation. It is clear that we are the same age. At this time, I began to selfishly think that it would be better if you were still the same as you were four years ago when you wasted your cultivation."

"Your cultivation is getting higher and higher, and you are beginning to meet women of increasingly noble status. You are going to the Northern Territory this time for the two princesses of the Northern Territory, right?"

Jiang Li nodded.

"The princess of the Northern Territory, the princess of the Fox Clan, the saint of the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect, what will happen in the future? I've been having nightmares lately. I dreamed that you hugged their waists and then threw me away. When I woke up, I started shouting your name and cursing you for being a bastard. Then I started thinking over and over again why I liked you, but I couldn't think of the answer. It seems that sometimes you really don't need a reason to like someone."

"I like to be jealous, sometimes unreasonable, have a bad temper, and like to bite you. I come from a humble background and can't help you at all, so I am always flustered and uneasy. I want to ask you a question, Jiang Li."

"You said."

"How much do you like me?" she asked softly.

Yue Ji's question was simple, but she asked it very seriously, so Jiang Li also thought about it seriously.

"Every time I come back, I always want to see you first. I didn't go to see Junior Sister Bai Sheng, nor did I go to see Jin Bie. Instead, I came to see you first. Although I always feel that I shouldn't prioritize love, when I think of the way you will look at me with resentment, I think I should still come to see you first."

"I'm also ready to be honest with you this time. I've been hiding things from you for a long time, but sooner or later I'll have to tell you. I told you when we were little that I will protect you in the future and won't let anyone bully you. This is the same for everyone. I'll beat up anyone who bullies you."
