Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

Sixth floor.

This is the place in Qiyue Pavilion specially used to entertain distinguished guests. At the moment, Mu Bingning and Yue Ji were sitting here. Yue Ji did not call the maid, but closed the door and personally made tea for Mu Bingning in front of her.

"So why did you suddenly come to me today?" Yue Ji leaned lazily on the chair, crossing her legs under her cheongsam, and looked at Mu Bingning with playful eyes.

Mu Bingning's eyes were very clear, so clear that one couldn't tell what she was thinking.

"I've been asked to ask you something."

"Who asked you to do this?"

"You don't have to know."

"Then I have nothing to answer." Yue Ji sneered, and Mu Bingning looked at her indifferently, "You know who entrusted me, why bother asking?"

"What if I say I don't know?"

"Four years ago, you were extremely concerned about Jiang Li. I don't believe you didn't know who he was flirting with recently." Mu Bingning replied calmly, "In two days, he will have a sword fight with someone at the Hidden Sword Sect. He is injured, but he still wants to take part in the sword fight. Why?"

"This is your first day meeting him?" Yue Ji asked, "Of course he knows what he is going to do."

"But he can be very childish sometimes." Mu Bingning said lightly.

"A naive child will also grow up. Do you think he is still the same Jiang Li he was four years ago?" Yue Ji sneered.

Mu Bingning looked at Yue Ji's expression and understood. She stood up and said, "Okay, I understand."

Since Yue Ji didn't seem to be worried at all, Jiang Li would be fine. She could go back and report to Bai Sheng. However, Yue Ji said slowly, "Since you have completely rejected him four years ago, don't appear in front of him again."

Mu Bingning's steps paused slightly, her expression did not change at all, "I'm just asking for a friend."

"It's good that you know. A woman like you should hang out with the geniuses from other sects and stop bothering my Jiang Xiaoli."

Mu Bingning turned her head and looked at him calmly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

"When did Jiang Li become yours?"

"He and I grew up together, so we are closer than an outsider like you."

"Then why did he choose to come to me to become a Taoist partner instead of coming to you?" Mu Bingning asked indifferently.

There wasn't a trace of anger in her words, but they touched Yueji's sore spot, causing her to grit her teeth slightly, but she soon calmed down her expression.

"Then I'm definitely not as good as you. You usually pretend to be cold and simple, and ignorant of the world, but in fact you enjoy playing with other people's feelings. Jiang Li didn't feel guilty about you at all. Your way of rejection is really special. You are worthy of being the aloof and untainted... Fairy Mu."

Mu Bingning had no room for rebuttal. She lowered her head and said, "It was my fault for what happened back then. I owe him an apology."

"Do you think he needs your apology? Do you really think he cares about you? Ha, he forgot about you the second after you rejected him. He fell asleep on my sister's chest that night. How could he still remember you?"

Yue Ji sneered at Mu Bingning in front of her. Mu Bingning raised her head and said, "I thought he would choose you later."

Yue Ji's eyes were already filled with anger. She sneered at Mu Bingning in front of her and said, "You don't need to worry about what happens between him and me, but I have something interesting to tell you. Fairy Mu, my Tianji Sect secret technique tells me that within three months, you will have a love relationship. Are you happy?"

Yue Ji was looking forward to Mu Bingning's reaction. With her usually indifferent personality, she would have a particularly interesting reaction after hearing such news. However, she never expected that Mu Bingning's eyes would only tremble slightly, and she replied, "You don't have to make fun of me over such a thing. It's impossible."

"Impossible? The Tianji Sect has existed for thousands of years, and there has never been any flaw in its secret techniques!" Yue Ji laughed even more cheerfully, "I'm curious, where will your marriage be? Will the sect send you away to marry? After all, the saints of the other two sects have been coveting you for a long time."

But Mu Bingning's expression remained unchanged, she just looked at Yue Ji calmly.

"You don't understand. This kind of thing will never happen to me."

She said this lightly, then turned around and walked towards the door of the room. Yue Ji was behind her with her arms folded across her chest, looking at her with sinister eyes, and once again activated the secret technique of the Tianji Sect.

She was definitely not mistaken. At this moment, there was a thread of fate entangled with Mu Bingning.

But generally, a marriage line has two ends, but Yue Ji only saw the marriage line on Mu Bingning, but failed to calculate the cause and effect on the other side of the marriage line.

This is a bizarre and incredible thing.

But she said so confidently that it was impossible... why?

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

On Hidden Sword Mountain.

The Hidden Sword Sect was particularly lively at the moment, with many disciples looking forward to the debate in two days. After all, many disciples were in the audience watching the debate between Jiang Li, Mo Tiansheng, and Lin Yu. They had never seen such a terrifying sword. It was obvious that the cultivation level was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but the brilliance of that sword was unforgettable no matter what.

In recent years, Jiang Li has generally had a bad reputation in the Hidden Sword Sect, because these sword practitioners have always respected the strong. In their eyes, the original Jiang Li was very strong. After all, at that time Jiang Li could still represent the sect in the sect competition and then obtain the qualification to enter the Zhongzhou Secret Realm.

But later, Jiang Li gave up his cultivation because of a woman. This was difficult to understand for these sword practitioners. After all, how could a woman be as important as a sword?

The moment I hold the sword is indescribable.

Perhaps there is some jealousy involved. After all, the Hidden Sword Sect has the most singles. It is good if there is one female disciple among ten male disciples. There are too many monks and too little porridge. Some disciples of the Hidden Sword Sect try to pursue girls from other sects, but because they practice sword all day long and are dull-witted, they can hardly say a few words to the girls. They then hear their junior and senior sisters say, "I'm going to practice sword," "I'm going to eat," "I'm going to take a bath," "I have something to do," and then... nothing happens.

What a sad story.

But the strength displayed by Jiang Li at this moment once again earned him the respect of many people in Yinjian Peak. Gradually, people began to speak up for Jiang Li. The opponents who had challenged him to a duel had basically no complaints against him, not to mention Lin Pingzhi who had come to challenge Jiang Li to a duel. Jiang Li spent half an hour telling him the key points of pursuing a girl. At this moment, he had already succeeded in wooing that senior sister. In fact, many people were envious of him. Many disciples were surrounding him and listening to him talk about the various methods that senior brother Jiang Li had taught him.

Although they always say that the sword is the most important, who doesn’t want the hand that holds the sword to hold the sweet and soft hand of a girl?

Occasionally, everyone's eyes would turn to Mugo who was practicing sword beside the sword monument.

Mu Ge, the second in Hidden Sword Sect, has reached perfection in the early Nascent Soul stage and his cultivation is second only to Qian Tingsheng.

Qian Tingsheng is the biological son and only son of the leader of the Hidden Sword Sect. He has enjoyed all the resources of the Hidden Sword Mountain since birth, and everything he has obtained is the best, but Mu Ge is different.

Mugo was also a child brought back from the mountain.

His talent was not that great, and he did not spend much time in the sect on weekdays. Most of the time he was training at the foot of the mountain. He was not very famous in the Hidden Sword Sect until the Hidden Sword Sect competition three months ago. He defeated almost all opponents with his sword until he lost to Qian Tingsheng's sword. However, he also won the title of second in Hidden Sword Peak.

He always practices sword alone and doesn't have many friends in Hidden Sword Peak. This time, it was he who issued the challenge to Jiang Li. In fact, it had nothing to do with Qian Tingsheng. He was not familiar with Qian Tingsheng.

This was also the reason why the challenge letter Jiang Li received was particularly polite. He just sincerely wanted to challenge Jiang Li to a duel.

That's it.

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

Jiang Li was still admiring the flowers in the garden at this moment.

But appreciating flowers under the moonlight is probably not an elegant thing. The moon tonight is not clear and bright, but a little dim. He sat alone beside the flowers, picked a rose, tore the petals of the rose, and muttered to himself.

"Go find her."

"Not looking for her."

"Go find her."

"Not looking for her."

Every time he tore off a petal, he muttered such a meaningless sentence, and Bai Sheng's paper crane was still floating there. Jiang Li looked up at the paper crane, with a little unwillingness in his eyes.

In fact, Bai Sheng's way of saying goodbye was the best, and it could be considered a ceremonial ending. From now on, the two of them would no longer be entangled, which was good for each other, but Jiang Li was still a little unwilling.

Dabai was lying beside him, wagging his tail. Jiang Li continued to tear the petals. The petals fell one by one, and Jiang Li sighed.

He knew that after he went to find her, he would feel that it was not worth giving up a large forest, and would not be able to bear the loneliness and would cheat again, but he still had some delusions in his heart. In fact, it was not impossible to trick Bai Sheng into accepting that he continued to be the bastard Jiang Li and stay with him, but doing so was always a bit despicable.

This kind of meanness would make him feel disgusted.

People are so complicated and contradictory. Dabai was swinging his tail beside him, watching him counting the petals one by one with boredom. He tore off the last petal, and he just said, "I won't go find her."

That seemed to be the end.

But at this moment Jiang Li heard footsteps. He looked up blankly and saw the girl in front of him wearing a plain white Taoist robe. She was standing in the moonlight with her hands behind her back. She happened to meet his eyes as he was sitting in the flower field.

Jiang Li slowly put the petal he had just torn off into his mouth and chewed it.

Just pretend you didn’t count.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Li asked her.

"I heard that Senior Brother Jiang Li was going to have a sword fight with Mu Ge. I had prepared a parting gift for him. I was planning to have Senior Sister Yue Ji bring it to you in two days. But then I thought Senior Brother Jiang Li might need it, so I came to give it to you first." Bai Sheng's voice was very soft, but his eyes became a little evasive.

Jiang Li stood up slowly.

"Aren't you worried... that you won't be able to escape once you come?"

Jiang Li stood up and walked slowly towards Bai Sheng. Bai Sheng took a step back, stretched out his hand to block Jiang Li, and shook his head, "Brother Jiang Li... stop messing around."

Jiang Li looked at her frightened eyes and lowered his head slightly.

"So I've been messing around all this time, haven't I?"

Chapter 63: Chapter Smile

The moonlit night is quiet.

Bai Sheng bit her lip lightly, looking at Jiang Li in front of her, she also lowered her head slightly, "No."

"Why does Junior Sister Bai Sheng treat me like a wolf when she sees me?"

"I always feel that Senior Brother Jiang Li is going to come over and hug me. If I don't reach out soon, it will be too late." Bai Sheng slowly put down his raised hand.

"Is Junior Sister Bai Sheng really so heartless?"

Bai Sheng lowered his head, "No."

So Jiang Li still walked up to her, but he did not extend his hand. At this moment, hugging Bai Sheng no longer had any reward value in the system task.

And she may not want to be hugged by herself.

So Jiang Li stopped his hand, and Bai Sheng looked up at him, "Brother Jiang Li... why haven't you slept yet?"

"Didn't you come here because you knew I couldn't sleep?"

"No." Bai Sheng muttered softly, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Jiang Li would also be unable to sleep."

She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she came to the bamboo house late at night.

After a brief greeting, Bai Sheng took out the small sword and handed it to Jiang Li in front of him, "This sword is very powerful. Brother Jiang Li should be able to use it when he and Mu Ge are fighting."

Jiang Li took the small sword with some curiosity. He held the sword for a moment and injected a trace of spiritual energy into it. Then, the sword began to grow bigger in his hand. The pattern on the blade began to flicker with light, and at that moment it seemed to illuminate the entire garden.

"Hiss, I'm blind."

Fortunately, the light only lasted for a moment. Jiang Li lowered his head and looked at the sword in his hand. This sword was now of the top grade of heavenly rank, but he just grasped it casually, that was all.

A top-grade spiritual sword of heavenly rank is already a priceless treasure, and many elders in the sect may not necessarily use a top-grade spiritual sword of heavenly rank.

"Where did Junior Sister Bai Sheng get this sword?"

Bai Sheng wanted to tell a lie, but looking at Jiang Li's eyes, he felt that he couldn't lie to him, so he had to answer, "This is a relic left to me by my mother. I don't have anything to give back to Brother Jiang Li. This sword is not very powerful in my hand, so I give it to Brother Jiang Li. I hope Brother Jiang Li... will use it well."

Jiang Li grabbed Bai Sheng's arm the next second and put the sword back into her hand. Before Bai Sheng could react, Jiang Li took a step back and said, "I don't want it."

Bai Sheng bit her lips lightly, holding her hands in the air, her eyes full of stubbornness.

"If Senior Brother Jiang Li doesn't accept it, I won't leave."

"Then I won't accept it either." Jiang Li looked at the stubbornness in Bai Sheng's eyes and felt a headache at this moment.

"I don't need this sword. The debate in two days will not be challenging for me. You know, I'm just an early Nascent Soul." Jiang Li scratched his head and tried to reason with Bai Sheng.

"But Senior Brother Jiang Li is injured."

"It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious."

Bai Sheng's hand was still suspended in the air, unwilling to withdraw, but Jiang Li looked at her stubbornly. He tried to soften his tone, "Your mother left you a relic, so of course you should keep it well. You will need it in the future."

"Brother Jiang Li's favor must be repaid."

"The key is that I really don't need such a good sword. With my current level of cultivation, it would be easy for someone to covet me if I carry this sword with me when I go down the mountain." Jiang Li walked in front of Bai Sheng again, "I know you always feel like you owe me a favor. If you don't repay this favor, you will feel uncomfortable, right?"

Jiang Li stretched out his hand towards her, "Then come with me, I'll give you a chance to return the favor."

Bai Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed Jiang Li's hand.

Then Jiang Li took Bai Sheng's hand and walked to the bamboo building. Bai Sheng was brought into the house. Jiang Li closed the door. Bai Sheng stood in the house, staring at him without blinking.

Then Jiang Li smiled at her.

"Take off your clothes."

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

Bai Sheng stood there, dazed for a moment. She looked at Jiang Li who was now sitting on the chair, and felt a little at a loss for a moment.
