Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"When I went to the Blood Demon Sect to invite Jiang Huanyang a few days ago, I found out that I had a way to treat Chu Yue's injuries, so I took her over temporarily." Jiang Li explained softly. Ye Guixu in front of him trembled slightly, then stretched out his hand and looked at Jiang Li, "Then how did you get out of the same room?"

"It's a long story..." Jiang Li replied with a smile.

"I want to duel with you!" Ye Guixu shouted at the top of his voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linglong put one hand on his head and pushed it down. She looked helpless and impatient, "Stop embarrassing yourself in front of other people's sects, okay?"

ps: I was urgently caught by Taojun and Shuishuishui to drink. Today's update

Chapter 117: Chapter Maybe he thought of something funny

"Let me go, I want to fight him!!"

Ye Guixu struggled for a few times, then straightened up again. He looked at Jiang Li in front of him, his face still full of disbelief, but Jiang Li was smiling, and it didn't seem like he wanted to explain any more.

Ye Guixu had actually only met Jiang Chuyue once. He proposed to her because Jiang Chuyue herself was unmarried, but somehow this angered Jiang Huanyang, and then Jiang Huanyang came to their sect and beat up many people in their sect. He had been living under the shadow of Jiang Huanyang in the past few years, so when he heard that there was a chance to fight Jiang Huanyang again this time, he came to Xuantian Dao Ji Sect to participate in this sect competition.

"It's not what you think." Jiang Li continued, "But if we want to duel, we can do it in the evening."

Ye Guixu's expression quickly returned to normal. He rubbed his face, and after a while he smiled again, "No, I was just joking."

Jiang Li tilted his head.

"I did like Chu Yue at first." Ye Guixu smiled, "But Chu Yue clearly said that she didn't like me, so I didn't like her anymore."

Ye Linglong looked at Ye Guixu deeply and complained, "Isn't this just an excuse for saving face?"

"No way!" Ye Guixu answered dissatisfiedly. Ye Linglong sneered and crossed his arms.

Jiang Li shrugged helplessly, lowered his head and asked Jiang Chuyue what she wanted to eat today. Jiang Chuyue wanted to eat glutinous rice balls, so Jiang Li went to the kitchen, and Jiang Chuyue sat down under the bamboo building, holding the little Rubik's Cube and started to spin it.

At this moment, she no longer needed to hide the facts that she could see. Ye Linglong came and sat down next to Jiang Chuyue, while Ye Guixu went to the kitchen and came to Jiang Li. Before Jiang Li could speak, Ye Guixu had already stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder.

"Brother Jiang, you must be careful of Jiang Huanyang."

"Ok?"

"You hooked up with his sister. Jiang Huanyang will definitely go crazy and look for you to fight to the death." Ye Guixu said seriously.

Jiang Li nodded, threw the glutinous rice balls into the boiling water, and nodded thoughtfully, "Then what do you think Jiang Huanyang would do if Jiang Chuyue told him to stop messing around?"

Ye Guixu was stunned for a moment. After a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched and his expression became extremely wonderful. He laughed as if no one was around. He laughed for a long time before he stopped, "Why didn't I think of this?"

He seemed to have that scene in his mind. After Jiang Huanyang saw Jiang Li and Jiang Chuyue together like this, he wanted to fight Jiang Li to the death. Jiang Chuyue's little face was full of tears, and she stood in front of Jiang Li and shouted, "Brother, no." By then, Jiang Huanyang would probably be driven crazy?

Jiang Li asked slowly, "I happened to prepare a lot, do you want to eat?"

"Eat some, I like sweet things."

So Jiang Li cooked some more, and then he said, "But Jiang Chuyue and I are not in that kind of relationship, you seem to have some misunderstanding."

"I understand, I understand." Ye Guixu patted his chest, his eyebrows were beaming with joy. Jiang Li glanced at him sideways. How could his expression look like he understood at all?

But Jiang Li was too lazy to explain anything to him, and sent Ye Guixu to ask Ye Linglong if she wanted to eat glutinous rice balls. Soon she replied that she did, so Jiang Li cooked some more. Soon he came out with four bowls of glutinous rice balls. The glutinous rice balls were filled with black sesame, which he had made and frozen earlier.

These were the few joys in his life. The four of them sat around a round table. Ye Linglong took a bite of the glutinous rice dumpling first, watching the black sesame filling flowing out. A look of joy flashed through her eyes, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's delicious."

"Then eat more."

It had been a long time since there were so many people in Jiang Li's bamboo building. Jiang Li asked casually, "How did you find me here?"

"My sister asked." Ye Guixu bit off a hot dumpling and muttered to himself, "Then the disciple guarding the mountain confirmed two or three times that he was not here to find you for a debt of love, so he showed us the way."

"..."

Jiang Li decided to have a good talk with the disciples guarding the mountain about life next time. Why did they want to tarnish my innocence like this?

After the four of them finished their breakfast, Jiang Li went to bring them chairs and a tea table and also prepared some snacks. Ye Guixu was called by Ye Linglong to make tea. Although he quarreled with his sister every day, he did act like a lackey in front of his sister.

Jiang Chuyue sat aside quietly without saying a word, with a faint smile on her lips. She looked gentle and quiet, like a well-behaved little girl, while Jiang Li chatted with Ye Guixu about some trivial matters.

As they chatted, they turned to the situation in Zhongzhou, and then from the situation in Zhongzhou to the life of the independent cultivators in Zhongzhou.

The circle of independent cultivators in Zhongzhou is very large, and Jiang Li has heard a little about it. The one who is said to be the best among the younger generation of independent cultivators is a mysterious man who wears a green demon mask all year round. It is rumored that he has extraordinary means and is proficient in formations, talismans, alchemy, medical theory, and has outstanding swordsmanship. His cultivation level is unknown. The mysterious man calls himself Jun Moxiao, and has made a name for himself in the major secret realms in Zhongzhou over the years.

Although he was wearing a Green Demon mask and looked ferocious, he was actually very generous. Even many independent cultivators in Zhongzhou had received his kindness in the secret realm. Many people wanted to get to know him, but unfortunately he would always refuse politely. So many people were curious about what kind of secrets were hidden behind the Green Demon mask.

The second of the younger generation of independent cultivators is named Zhu Taozhi.

Zhu Taozhi is a sword cultivator who has long entered the realm of overcoming minor tribulations. She created a sword technique called Burying Flowers. She is famous among the cultivators in Zhongzhou, partly because of her unparalleled swordsmanship. Except for a failure in a secret realm trial where she had a sword fight with Jun Moxiao due to the rules of the secret realm, she has never lost since then. The other part is because of her appearance. She wears a veil all day long, but has revealed her true face once or twice. Because of her fairy-like appearance, countless people wanted to become her Taoist partner, but unfortunately they were all driven away by her sword.

"Brother Jiang seems to know a lot about Bamboo Peach Branches?"

Ye Guixu looked at Jiang Li in confusion. After all, Jiang Li had explained the Zhutaozhi sword technique in detail before. Jiang Li hesitated for a moment and said, "We had some contact in a secret realm. We can barely be considered friends."

Ye Guixu became interested, "It is said that she is very beautiful?"

"That's it."

The more beautiful a woman is, the harder it is to serve her. Jiang Li is well aware of this truth. By the way, when the secret realm of Dark Moon Immortal Venerable in Zhongzhou is opened, should he find Zhu Taozhi to team up with him?

Ye Guixu seemed to be full of curiosity about Zhu Taozhi. It was absolutely reasonable for a man to be curious about a beautiful woman. Unfortunately, before he could ask any more questions, Ye Linglong patted his head and glanced at him, "You only think about women all day long and neglect your cultivation."

Ye Guixu was of course not convinced, "Aren't you also thinking about women?!"

Ye Linglong sneered and folded up her sleeves a bit, "Do you have any objection?"

Ye Guixu retracted his head again.

These two siblings are quite funny.

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

In the evening there will be Mu Bingning’s martial arts competition to find a husband.

Since it is a martial arts competition to marry a bride, the rules are naturally very simple. Anyone who wants to marry Mu Bingning only needs to step onto the stage and wait for the challengers below. Those who are not well-trained will naturally not seek trouble themselves, so it is estimated that there will not be many fights.

Ye Guixu and Ye Linglong simply sat in Jiang Li's yard. Ye Linglong also went to Jiang Li's garden and picked a few bouquets of flowers after getting Jiang Li's consent. Ye Guixu went into Jiang Li's room and saw the play script he had placed there. He opened it out of boredom and couldn't put it down. He stared at the script obsessively until Jiang Li came to call him for lunch.

"Wait, let me finish this."

Jiang Li's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

There are a lot of high-level talisman papers in the box on my buddy's desk, as well as many of the mental journeys recorded when studying the talisman papers. If you master these things, you will be able to advance to a heavenly-level talisman master. What's the point of you holding a play script now?

This lunch was for four people, so Jiang Li cooked a few more dishes. He always felt like he was a nanny. He just picked up the chopsticks, but saw Ye Guixu, who was talking to Ye Linglong just now, suddenly stopped talking and stared in one direction.

Jiang Li also looked in the direction he was looking.

Jiang Huanyang, dressed in white, flew down on his sword.

Jiang Huanyang's gaze naturally fell on Jiang Chuyue first, and then he quickly came to her side.

"Brother." Jiang Chuyue whispered.

"How's your injury? Did he bully you? Are you doing well lately?"

"My injury is half healed. I can see my brother now." Jiang Chuyue said softly, and then continued, "He didn't bully me. I've been living well recently."

Jiang Huanyang looked into Jiang Chuyue's eyes. Her eyes were no longer as empty as before. Jiang Huanyang's body became a little stiff, and his eyes even turned red with excitement.

Jiang Li couldn't bear to see such a touching scene, so he silently picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Jiang Huanyang quickly turned his head to Jiang Li again, "I owe you a favor."

"Ah, no need." Jiang Li shook his head, "Just treat today's competition well."

Then Jiang Huanyang looked towards Ye Guixu, "Why are you here too?"

But to his surprise, Ye Guixu was trying to hold back his laughter when he looked at him.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Huanyang looked straight at him.

Ye Guixu shook his head, "No, I'm not laughing."

Although he was saying this, he was obviously about to burst out laughing. Jiang Huanyang asked in a deep voice, "What are you laughing at?"

“It’s nothing.” Ye Guixu twisted his thigh and glared at him viciously, “In the sword fight tonight, prepare to be humiliated by me.”

Jiang Huanyang sneered, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Jiang Huanyang stood in front of Jiang Chuyue and said, "Don't even think about targeting Chuyue again."

Ye Guixu finally couldn't help it. He held his stomach and started laughing. After laughing for a long time, he looked up at Jiang Huanyang and said, "Don't worry, I won't go after your sister again."

"What are you laughing at?!" Jiang Huanyang was a little annoyed.

Ye Linglong picked up an eggplant with chopsticks, put it to her mouth, and said lightly, "Maybe he thought of something funny."

Chapter 118: Chapter Let Sister Take Care of Him

Because of Jiang Huanyang's arrival, there was one more pair of chopsticks on the table.

Jiang Huanyang's arrival made the atmosphere much more subtle. Ye Guixu and Jiang Huanyang should have some grudge against each other, but Ye Guixu's expression did not show any gnashing of teeth at the moment. He was just eating seriously.

Ye Linglong was also eating seriously.

After tasting a bite, Jiang Huanyang also started to eat seriously.

Jiang Li really liked this atmosphere of serious dining. After lunch, he cleaned up the dishes. Ye Guixu continued to read the play script, Ye Linglong sniffed and looked around in his garden, and Jiang Huanyang started chatting with Jiang Chuyue.

The martial arts competition to recruit a bride was held at Zhan Nian Mountain. After all, Zhan Nian Sect was considered the largest of the five inner sects. Jiang Huanyang came to Jiang Li in confusion and said indifferently, "I should have told you that I have no intention of marrying Mu Bingning."

Jiang Li nodded.

"Then who from your Xuantian Dao Ji Sect will fight me?"

Jiang Li pointed at his own face.

"I."

"you?"

"It's me." Jiang Li replied with a smile.

Jiang Huanyang looked at him deeply, "Do you like Mu Bingning?"

"Not really." Jiang Li shook his head, "I want that Blazing Fire Spirit Ginseng."

Jiang Huanyang's expression still had an unconscious arrogance, "In the debate tonight, when I met you, I only put in 30% of my effort."

This was his way of repaying Jiang Li for the favor. In fact, this debate was related to the reputation of each sect. After all, the sects were about to recruit new members, and the reputation of each sect was very important at this moment. But because of this favor, Jiang Huanyang was willing to lose to Jiang Li and bear the pressure of the sect himself.

Jiang Li shook his head, "I told you to just do your best."

Although there was still some confusion in Jiang Huanyang's eyes, he finally did not ask any more questions. His personality was a bit opposite to Ye Guixu's. Ye Guixu seemed to be happy about everything, but in fact he was very pessimistic about everything.

Jiang Huanyang, on the other hand, was simply arrogant by nature. His arrogance was not justified. After all, he was truly the number one among the younger generation of cultivators from the sects in Zhongzhou.

The only person he cares about is his biological sister Jiang Chuyue, and he doesn't care about anything else.

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

"Are you selling those two flowers?"

Ye Linglong came in front of Jiang Li, holding a bunch of flowers in her hand, but at this moment she was pointing at the two flowers in the center of Jiang Li's garden. Those two flowers were both heavenly-grade elixirs that could be used to refine heavenly-grade pills.

"Not for sale."

“The price is negotiable.”

"I keep it for beauty, not for sale." Jiang Li decisively rejected Ye Linglong. Ye Linglong curled her lips and sat down in front of Jiang Li. She crossed her legs out of habit, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and folded her arms across her chest. "Can I see Mu Bingning tonight?"

"Yes."

"I want to know, is your painting prettier or is she prettier in person?" Ye Linglong seemed to be looking forward to what was going to happen next. She looked at Jiang Li curiously, "Are you really planning to let Jiang Huanyang marry Mu Bingning?"

"No." Jiang Li shook his head.

"Then is there anyone who can defeat Jiang Huanyang?"

Jiang Li pointed at his own face again.

Ye Linglong gave him a strange look, but did not ask any more questions, just thinking that Jiang Li's brain was broken.
