Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

The Snow Soul Essence was delivered to Jiang Li's hands.

The moment he handed it to Jun Wen Ning, Jiang Li was inexplicably hesitant. He always felt that there was a chill in Jun Wen Ning's eyes, but he couldn't explain the reason for this chill. Perhaps it was just his illusion.

"Here are five million purple marrow coins." Jun Wenning took out a Qiankun bag, "I will pay you the remaining purple marrow coins within a month."

Her voice was unusually cold and firm, and she did not give Jiang Li any chance to refuse, so Jiang Li had to nod and agree. In fact, he did not care about these purple marrow coins. After all, the maximum amount of purple marrow coins used for cultivation was only so much per day. It was nothing more than a luxury to draw a huge spirit gathering formation to speed up the cultivation process a little.

He himself did not need any resources for cultivation. The dragon crystal was enough for him to cultivate to the tenth level of the divine body. As for the realm of the soul after the divine body, it did not require too many resources for cultivation.

Jun Wenning stored the Snow Soul Essence in his storage ring. There were still a few items left in the auction, so the two did not leave yet. The remaining items were all extremely rare and precious. Bai Zigui looked at him and said, "If Mr. Jiang likes them, I can buy them for you."

Jiang Li shook his head. He didn't need anything in particular.

The auction was about to end, and Bai Zigui temporarily left their side.

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

"Master, we have done what you ordered."

"understood."

"Jun Wenning will lose his right to inherit. Will the Lord...should we still act according to our previous choice?"

"Do not."

Bai Zigui's face showed a bit of fear, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"Whichever side he's on, that's the side we'll choose."

Bai Zigui looked up at the shadow in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment. After a long silence, he nodded respectfully, "I understand."

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

After the auction, it was time to head to the Jun family. Before boarding the spirit boat, Jiang Li and Jun Wenning captured Feng Xisi and Feng Xi Nian, who were eating candied haws in a corner in the north of the city. The spirit boat continued to move forward, and they all returned to their respective rooms.

At noon the next day, they arrived at the territory of the demon clan, and Ji Boyuan got off the spirit boat first. In the evening, they arrived at the territory of the phoenix clan, and Feng Xisi and Feng Xi Nian also left. Only Jun Wenning and Jiang Li were left on the spirit boat. It was not until midnight that they arrived at Jun's house, so Jiang Li sat on the deck and looked at the stars and the moon for a while.

"What are you looking at?" Jun Wen Ning asked him, which was rare.

"Look at the stars."

Jun Wen Ning also raised his head and looked at the bright stars in the sky, but there was some confusion in his eyes, "What's so good about it?"

"Doesn't it look good?"

"I don't understand...what's so good about it."

"Then what do you think is beautiful?" Jiang Li looked up at her.

But Jun Wen Ning couldn't answer. Jiang Li looked at her slightly confused expression and asked, "Don't you have anything you like to do?"

Jun Wen Ning remained silent and shook his head.

"So what do you do on a daily basis?"

"Practicing sword skills and handling all matters of the clan." Jun Wen Ning replied.

"Don't you have any friends?"

Jun Wen Ning was silent again.

Jiang Li always felt that he seemed to have asked a sad question. As expected, fairies were not worldly.

The spirit boat shuttled through the sea of ​​clouds. Jun Wen Ning looked up at the starry sky without saying anything. It was unknown what he was thinking about seriously. An hour later, they arrived at the Jun family's territory. The lights were bright under the spirit boat. Jun Wen Ning and Jiang Li jumped off the spirit boat and came to the gate of a large mansion. The door opened automatically. Candles were lit all the way, but no one greeted them.

Jun Wenning used his jade token to call the servant and asked, "Where is Bai Sheng?"

"Bai Sheng is currently receiving inheritance at his ancestral land and will not come out until tomorrow at noon."

"You go to sleep in your room first. I'll take you to see her tomorrow." Jun Wen Ning said to Jiang Li.

"Okay." Jiang Li nodded and walked towards the room Jun Wenning pointed to, while Jun Wenning turned and walked out, not knowing where he was going.

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

When Jun Wenning arrived at the gate of Jun Xian's courtyard, the gate was open, obviously waiting for her. She walked into the room and closed the door gently.

There was a towering old tree in the middle of the yard with luxuriant branches and leaves. The moonlight sparsely fell on the ground through the leaves. Under the old tree sat a handsome middle-aged man in a black gown. The tea in front of him was slightly cold, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Daddy." Jun Wen Ning lowered his head slightly and called softly.

Jun Xian, the second in command of the Jun family, is also Jun Wenning's biological father and has reached the fourth level of Divine Lord cultivation.

"What have you gained from this trip to Guiyuan Territory?"

"I met someone."

"Who?"

"His name is Jiang Li, and he is now Su Yeli's direct disciple."

"Jiang Li...?" Jun Xian's voice seemed a little hesitant.

"Bai Sheng is his Taoist partner in the lower world. He was also a person in the lower world. I met him once in the God's Tomb World... Now he has come here, and the Burning Snow Sword is in his hand right now."

Hearing the name of Burning Snow Sword, Jun Xian's eyes lit up a little. He raised his head, but his cheek was still shrouded in the shadow of the tree, "Burning Snow Sword... is in his hand?"

"Well, his sword power is very powerful. He can catalyze the Burning Snow Sword to the Burning Snow state... He seems to have some connection with the sword cultivator Jiang Li of the same name from a thousand years ago."

Jun Xian tapped his knuckles on the armrest of the chair and was silent for a moment. "During the time you were away, Jun Yuan had already obtained the votes of all the elders. He took away your inheritance qualification and gave it to the little girl he found. He doted on that little girl and gave her 30% of the divine seal."

Jun Wen Ning lowered his head and remained silent.

Jun Xian sighed deeply, "If he hadn't insisted on using the Snow Burning Mirror to go to the lower world and find this little girl, I wouldn't have wanted to do this."

Jun Wen Ning had been looking down at the moonlight scattered on the ground. He looked up at some point, and hesitated as he said, "Daddy..."

Jun Xian did not intend to respond to her words, but stared at her cheek tenderly, waiting for her to continue speaking. However, Jun Wen Ning's words seemed to be choked suddenly, and the courtyard fell into a strange silence.

"If Jun Yuan had not returned from the lower world twenty years ago, he would not be the one sitting in this position now." Jun Xian's voice was very light. "This is not just my long-cherished wish, but the obsession of our lineage for hundreds of years. Even Jun Yuan himself understands it. He once said that he did not covet power, but after finding his daughter, he was unwilling to let go easily."

"He has his daughter, but I also have my daughter. Those things that belong to you, I will not allow them to be taken away so easily by a foreign bastard."

Jun Wenning lowered her head, and after a long moment, she said softly, "I understand."

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

Jiang Li couldn't sleep the whole night.

He really couldn't sleep. Thinking that he would see Junior Sister Bai Sheng tomorrow, he tossed and turned in bed until the sky outside the window was bright. He pushed open the door and came to the yard, but the sun had just risen.

Jun Wen Ning did not come back all night and no one knew where he had gone, but at this moment Jiang Li saw a stranger in the courtyard.

The man was sitting on the stone platform in the courtyard. He was dressed in white and had a handsome face. There was a cup of tea in front of him. Jiang Li looked at him in confusion, "Who are you...?"

"Who are you?" The man in white chuckled at him.

"My name is Jiang Li, a disciple of Yeyue Sect. I followed Jun Wenning to the Jun family to look for someone."

"Who?"

"Bai Sheng."

"What are you doing with her?"

"She is my Taoist partner in the lower world." Jiang Li did not hide anything, "I came to find her."

"You come from the underworld?"

"Yes."

"Bai Sheng is in the ancestral land receiving inheritance and will not come out until noon."

"Then I'll just wait for her."

“For a long time to come, she will stay in the Jun family to inherit the divine seal.” said the man in white.

"Did she do it willingly?"

"Yes."

"Who are you?" Jiang Li looked into his eyes and had an inexplicable intuition in his heart.

"Let's fight with swords. If you win, I will tell you who I am."

"What if I lose?"

"If you lose...then leave the Jun family."

"I don't." Jiang Li shrugged, "I'm here to look for someone, not to fight with swords."

"If you want to see her... you have to get past me first."

"Are you Jun Yuan?"

"How did you guess that?"

"Who else could it be except what you can't imagine? How did you know I was coming?"

"I always heard Bai Sheng talk about you before."

"How is she doing lately?"

"Of course, in the Jun family, her status is the most noble little princess."

"That's good."

Jiang Li had finished asking questions, and now it was Jun Yuan's turn to ask, "What is your relationship with the swordsman named Jiang Li from a thousand years ago?"

"I am him."

"You're a thousand years old! And you're hooking up with my twenty-year-old daughter! Don't you have any shame?" Jun Yuan looked elegant and calm just now, but now he seemed a little angry and frustrated.

Jiang Li answered innocently, "I didn't have any memories when I was reincarnated in the lower realm... Even now I can only remember part of it. Also, Bai Sheng and I are in love with each other."

Jun Yuan's expression was full of helplessness at this moment, "It's really... retribution."

"what?"

“If you hadn’t come to the Jun family a thousand years ago and let the Burning Snow Sword Spirit find you, the sword spirit wouldn’t have committed suicide. If the sword spirit hadn’t committed suicide, the Burning Snow Sword wouldn’t have been so difficult to be recognized as a successor, and my lineage wouldn’t have risen. I wouldn’t have brought the Burning Snow Sword into the God’s Tomb that year… I wouldn’t have been lost in the lower realm for those years, and there wouldn’t have been Bai Sheng…”

The expression on Jun Yuan's face was particularly helpless at the moment, and Jiang Li was a little confused. However, Jun Yuan did not explain to him, but asked him, "Is the Burning Snow Sword in your possession now?"

"Yes."

"Look, don't worry...that's a gift from her, I won't take it back." Jun Yuan smiled at him.

Jiang Li took out the Burning Snow Sword. Jun Yuan just raised his hand slightly, and the Burning Snow Sword came into his hand. The color of the blade also turned into moonlight white, and the pattern on it flowed. The only difference from when it was in Jiang Li's hand was that the pattern on the blade turned golden.

"I haven't seen it for a long time." Jun Yuan's voice seemed a little nostalgic, and he quickly returned the sword to Jiang Li.

"You can use it as a sword from now on. There is no need to hide it. I will announce it to the world and give it to you. Don't worry about it being robbed. No one dares to steal the Jun family's things."

Jun Yuan sat down at the stone table again. He pointed to another seat next to him and said, "Before Bai Sheng comes out, let's have a good chat."

It seems that his father-in-law is not as difficult to talk to as he imagined.

Chapter 435: Chapter Meeting

What made Jiang Li speechless and embarrassed was that if one really counted age, he was much older than Jun Yuan. When he first came to the Jun family, Jun Yuan had not even been born yet.

He also learned some things about the past from Jun Yuan.

More than a thousand years ago, he had been to the Jun family once, and was invited by the Jun family to attend a grand event. But that day... the Burning Snow Sword, which had not yet been fully mastered by the head of the Jun family that generation, suddenly appeared in front of him and wanted to recognize him as its master, but was rejected by Jiang Li. Then the sword spirit of the Burning Snow Sword suddenly became silent.

In the past, in the Jun family, whoever the Burning Snow Sword chose as his master would become the head of the Jun family. Later, the Burning Snow Sword no longer chose a master, and many rules of the Jun family changed quietly. After several internal struggles, Jun Yuan's lineage finally won, and Jun Yuan also inherited and came into contact with the Burning Snow Sword, and was able to carry the Burning Snow Sword with him. Then happened twenty years ago. He entered the world of the God's Tomb with the Burning Snow Sword, but was ambushed by the Jun family in the dark, so he got lost in the world of the God's Tomb and fell into the lower world.

In the lower world, he met Bai Sheng's mother who was traveling in the sect. At that time, he was seriously injured and dying, and even his memory was incomplete. He was picked up by Bai Sheng's mother and took good care of him. As his memory gradually came back, his cultivation gradually recovered, and he could no longer stay, so he left the Burning Snow Sword to Bai Sheng's mother as a token of their future meeting.

But twenty years later, he finally became the patriarch of the Jun family and took control of everything in the Fenxue Region. He mobilized the entire Jun family to open the Fenxue Mirror and find the underworld where he fell. However, his old friend had already turned into dry bones under a tree, leaving him a daughter.

"I only have this one daughter." Jun Yuan whispered softly, "I really don't want to marry her to you."

Jiang Li sat opposite him, looking into his eyes innocently, but did not speak for a while.

Jun Yuan sighed, "At least... let Bai Sheng stay in the Jun family and accept the inheritance of the Divine Seal."

His sigh was not because he was afraid of Jiang Li, but because Bai Sheng had mentioned Jiang Li's name to him too many times during this period. Whenever she mentioned this name, her eyes would always light up.
