After a long conversation, Li Yan saw that the question he wanted to ask had been answered. He looked at the sky and stood up to say goodbye to everyone.
But he did not leave immediately. He walked up to Bai Rou, who had not left yet, with a smile.
"I wonder if Senior Sister Bai is free. I have something else to ask you in private. Haha, if Senior Sister Bai has something else to do, I will visit you another day!"
Bai Rou was listening to Du Sanjiang and Tan Tai Dong Yue talking. When she saw Li Yan coming, she had already stood up.
"I have nothing to do right now. I am preparing to return to my cave to meditate and practice Qi. Junior brother, there is no need to be so polite. It is not a question of asking for advice. I will tell you everything I know."
Bai Rou's face flushed even before she opened her mouth. Ever since Tan Tai Dongyue teased her unintentionally, she didn't dare to look at Li Yan most of the time.
Now that Li Yan came over to talk to her, Bai Rou couldn't help but feel nervous. She stood there in a white dress.
"Well, let's talk while we walk. Everyone, I'll take my leave first. I've been hiding here and there for the past few days. It's not easy to get back here. I still need to have a good rest!"
Li Yan said with a smile.
"We also..."
The girl named Zhou from Lingchong Peak was obviously lively and lively. After hearing what Li Yan said, her eyes turned and she wanted to ask to go together.
Unexpectedly, Tan Tai Dong Yue interrupted her directly.
"Brother, please go ahead. Well, we still have some things to discuss!"
With a smile in her beautiful eyes, she stood in front of the three young girls. The three girls pursed their lips, glanced at Tan Tai Dong Yue's back, and said nothing more.
The girl from Lingchong Peak pursed her beautiful red lips, with disappointment flashing in her eyes.
Bai Rou didn't even look at them. She had already flown into the air. Anyone could see that there was a pink patch on her snow-white neck.
Li Yan's expression was normal. He really had other matters to discuss with Bai Rou. He felt at ease and didn't think there was anything wrong, so he also took off.
"Senior Sister Tantai, you are very biased towards Senior Sister Bai, and Senior Brother Li hasn't even spoken yet..."
The girl named Zhou from Lingchong Peak paused and said dissatisfiedly.
"Girl, I told you that I wanted to ask Junior Sister Bai some questions in private, but you insisted on going up to her and asking for trouble. Even if you want to have sex, you should choose a time."
"But... but there are no core disciples with Taoist partners in the sect, except for a few people from Xiaozhu Peak, and even fewer in other peaks..."
The girl from Lingchong Peak obviously had the same aggressive personality as Li Changting, and she still pouted in dissatisfaction.
“Haha, I think you’ve all seen it wrong. Junior Sister Bai has always been weak in character, so her blushing doesn’t necessarily mean she has any real thoughts.
When I looked at Junior Brother Li, his eyes were clear, without any trace of romance. The two of them should be talking about serious matters, after all, they used to be in the same team.
Especially since their two masters have a very good relationship, it is only natural for them to talk about topics that they don’t want us to know about.”
Du Sanjiang tapped his knees lightly with his fingers and spoke slowly.
"It's strange that he can be emotional with that kind of personality. He's actually very boring!"
Bro looked towards the sky in the direction where Li Yan disappeared, his eyes rolling around, thinking this in his heart.
Gong Yuantai stood up and walked out of the yard. He had never been interested in such things, and he didn't like talking about such topics behind people's backs.
After hearing what Du Sanjiang said, Tan Tai Dong Yue looked half-believing and half-doubting.
The three girls behind her looked at each other and remained silent, but they would not say anything if they had any thoughts in their hearts.
… …
After flying away from the "Green Bat Camp" mountains, Li Yan broke the silence between the two.
"How is Sun Guoshu? Why didn't I see him coming with you?"
Bai Rou seemed to be thinking about something when she was suddenly awakened by Li Yan's words. Her pretty face had just recovered a little, and a trace of panic flashed across her eyes before she calmed down.
"Fellow Daoist Sun is fine, but recently on the battlefield, he got some cultivation techniques from the South China Sea monks and is studying them one by one."
"Oh? It seems that he is no longer satisfied with the technique he is practicing. Didn't he say that after completing the sect mission, he could enter the outer sect of the Wuliang Sect? I wonder what the result is now?"
Li Yan felt a little relieved when he heard that Sun Guoshu was fine. After all, Sun Guoshu had been doing his best for him and was someone he cared about quite a lot.
However, Sun Guoshu's advantages are limited to these. Apart from being cautious and having good handling abilities, his own cultivation is really not that good and he is unable to do many things.
Before, he had only heard Bai Rou talk about Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun. He thought that something had happened to Sun Guoshu, but he was worrying in vain.
“He hasn’t officially accepted the position, but I heard from Master that he has already been granted an outer disciple token, which should give him some peace of mind.
After evacuating Fengliang Mountain this time, he can officially hold the initiation ceremony in the sect."
"Haha, that's good!"
After hearing this, Li Yan laughed and recalled his initiation ceremony, which was really very simple. Li Wuyi took him to meet other senior brothers and sisters, and offered tea to his master and mistress, and that was considered initiation.
But Li Yan knew that the entrance ceremony for outer disciples was more grand, and a small group of new disciples would be gathered together to hold the initiation ceremony.
This is to enhance their sense of belonging and sacredness to the Wuliang Sect, but the scope is limited to a few deacons and disciples of the outer sect, and of course it will not be made known to everyone.
"It seems that he is eager to improve his strength. However, although the last mission in 'Zhouyang Town' was successful, he did not benefit as much as Senior Brother Hu and Senior Brother Yan. He is still not qualified to choose the intermediate skills in the sect. However, after Senior Sister said this, I think the opportunities brought to him in this war are not small."
A smile appeared on Li Yan's face. Before, Sun Guoshu was not a disciple of the Wuliang Sect, so he naturally could not give him some of the sect's skills and magic arts.
Originally, he wanted to give some of the good-quality skills he had obtained but had no use to Sun Guoshu, but since he had already given him a lot of spirit stones last time, he could not give them to him immediately.
Giving too many things at once will only foster the other party's greed. It seems that he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
"Daoyou Sun has obtained two or three kinds of skills, and he selected them. I also gave him some of the skills I obtained.
I have also seen those three techniques, and they are comparable to the techniques practiced by the inner disciples of the sect."
Bai Rou practiced the Muliu Sect's top-level martial arts "Muliuxing". She had long abandoned other martial arts. Only "Muliuxing" could improve her puppetry to an incredible level.
Therefore, the unnecessary skills and magic were given to Sun Guoshu. After all, Sun Guoshu was half of Li Yan's confidant and was very respectful to her.
"Well, he has a lot of experience and can be considered a useful person. In the future, Senior Sister Bai can entrust him with things that require going to the market, so she doesn't have to waste more time in the market."
Li Yan chuckled. When he said this, he suddenly remembered the first time he met Bai Rou. At that time, Bai Rou went straight to the market to do business.
Li Yan's chuckle when he mentioned "the market" reminded Bai Rou of what happened at the beginning. She blushed slightly and lowered her head in silence.
Li Yan knew that she was shy, so he coughed lightly and changed the subject. His eyes turned to Bai Rou.
"Oh, it's been a few months since we last met, but I see that Senior Sister's magical powers have improved a lot. It seems that Senior Sister said last time that she had just reached the middle stage of foundation building.
The current fluctuation of spiritual power has taken a big step towards the late stage of foundation building, and my junior brother has not yet had time to congratulate me. "
Bai Rou's aura is now becoming more and more long-lasting and solid, which is a great improvement compared to a few months ago. It must be said that the battlefield is the best environment for training a cultivator.
Bai Rou felt Li Yan was looking at her, and her heart suddenly tightened, but after hearing what Li Yan said, she finally relaxed.
But for some reason, a sense of emptiness arose in her heart. She didn't know why she suddenly felt inexplicably powerless when her cultivation had reached such a level.
But she was only in a trance for a moment, and then she smiled, like a holy lily quietly blooming.
"Junior Brother Li, you only care about talking about others. Why don't you talk about yourself? Wasn't you also in the 'Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment' at the beginning? Now you are all in the Fake Pill Stage!"
When she mentioned the "middle stage of foundation building", she bit her teeth lightly and emphasized her tone.
Ever since the battle in the valley that night, she knew of course that Junior Brother Li's talent in cultivation was superior to ninety-nine percent of the disciples of the same level in the sect.
A cultivator who had just established his foundation two years ago has now reached the false elixir realm. This was something she could not even imagine. No wonder she had to hide her cultivation to avoid being noticed.
But she was a quiet person and didn't like to pry into other people's privacy, so she never asked Li Yan.
When the girl heard what Li Yan said to congratulate her today, her childishness suddenly came back and she started to make a joke about it.
Li Yan did not abandon the five of them that day, but showed his strength in front of her, and did not give her any instructions afterwards, which meant that he already treated her as a friend.
But Bai Rou had no idea that this "friend" actually had harboured murderous intentions towards her.
After hearing this, Li Yan chuckled.
"I just got some opportunities during the two years of training. Otherwise, how could I have met the two seniors and received magic weapons from them?"
What he said was actually a clever way of saying it.
Bai Rou knew that Li Yan didn't like to talk much about his cultivation, even if Li Yan hadn't said it explicitly before, but from what Junior Sister Zhou Mei said at Lingchong Peak just now, it was clear that Li Yan was extremely displeased.
Therefore, she stopped there and did not continue talking about this topic.
“With my limited cultivation and the help of puppets, I was still able to survive in the team at first, but after the war a month ago, the brothers in the Fake Dan Realm have long been in charge.
However, I also received some protection from my senior brothers and sisters..."
After changing the topic, Bai Rou briefly talked about the current situation of other members of the ninth team of the "Heavy Front Battalion".
Except for Li Yan who was assigned by Wei Chongran alone, the rest of the original team were reorganized into a larger team.
There are only six people alive now, including those who are seriously injured like Yan Feijun.
But when talking about some of Chu Weixiong's dead team members, Bai Rou's eyes were already filled with tears. She had a kind personality and could get along very well with everyone.
Thinking back to the days when we had carried out missions together, and watching familiar members of my team disappear one after another from this world, I couldn't help feeling sad.
The two flew slowly all the way, and time passed quickly. They had already arrived near Li Yan's cave.
Li Yan originally wanted to ask about Sun Guoshu, but when he learned that the other party was using this short break to study martial arts, he didn't want to disturb him.
The two of them parted ways in the air, and Li Yan told Bai Rou that he would have a good rest in the cave for the next few days, and if she got any important news, he hoped she could inform him in time.
Of course, the things he was referring to were information that only the core disciples of the inner sect could know. Otherwise, if there was anything happening within the "Green Sixteenth Team", Gong Yuantai and the others would have informed him.
Looking at Bai Rou's figure gradually disappearing in the distance, Li Yan stared for a while, sighed lightly, turned around and flew towards his own cave.
