The Seven Star River, green ripples.
A small boat parted through the reeds and slowly approached the ferry.
A female nun wearing a conical hat and green clothes stood at the bow of the boat, holding a long pole, her sleeves fluttering in the wind and her white hair like snow.
The little girl in a red skirt, with a green bird on her head and a white veil covering her eyes, folded her arms and sat at the stern of the boat angrily, brushing away the reeds that had brushed her face.
"Why do you want me to follow you on your mission?!"
Jiang Yuebai raised a ripple and looked back at Bai Jiuyou, sighing, "Haven't I said it many times? I was also forced to be sent out. The Supreme Elder said that if I don't take a break, the elders of the Zhuge family will make a fuss. The same goes for you. Many of the disciples below are already exhausted."
Jiang Yuebai was also very helpless about this. They had only joined the Zhuge family for more than half a year, and they followed their own pace and did their own things. Why did this group of people have to compete with her? If they couldn't win, they would find trouble with them.
It's simply unreasonable and incomprehensible.
"I don't care. I want to go back and study. Do you know how many credits I will lose if I delay these days? What if I am surpassed by the second place? You can just put the formation there and earn contribution points even if you are not there, but I can't do that!"
Bai Jiuyou angrily pulled a reed and threw it around.
Jiang Yuebai leaned on the bamboo pole, "With your credits, even if the second place is given a whole year, he has no hope of surpassing you. The Supreme Elder specifically instructed me to take you out to see the world and relax so that you can build your foundation after returning..."
Before Jiang Yuebai could finish his words, the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly surged and rushed into Bai Jiuyou's dantian.
"It's built, flawless, send me back to study!"
Jiang Yuebai: (; one_one)
"Alright, alright, stop messing around. Actually, I didn't want to take this mission at first, but the Supreme Elder told me that it was about the female devil, Chen Zhou San Ren, so I reluctantly agreed."
Bai Jiuyou turned around angrily and said, "Is there really someone pretending to be you and doing evil in the Seven Star River Basin?"
"What do you mean by impersonating me? I'm impersonating Chen Zhou San Ren. I, Master Wangshu, am a righteous person and a prestigious guest elder of the Zhuge family!" Jiang Yuebai straightened his hat.
Bai Jiuyou deliberately pulled off the white veil covering her eyes and rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuebai.
"So what are you going to do this time? Catch the fake sunken boat?"
Jiang Yuebai thought about it and said, "Actually, it's possible. If I can really fish in troubled waters, I can use this fake Shen Zhou to exchange for the huge reward offered by Master Iron Palm. If not, I can't let this person ruin the reputation of Shen Zhou."
Bai Jiuyou covered his eyes again, "What did the fake Chen Zhou do?"
Jiang Yuebai recalled the information that the Zhuge family's supreme elder had told her with a tired look on his face.
"I heard that they have committed many massacres of families and recruited a group of evil cultivators to kill, burn and rob people everywhere, causing great chaos in the Seven Star River Basin."
"The Tianxing Sect, the number one sect in the Qixing River Basin, has been chasing after Chenzhou Sanren and his subordinates, but they are always a step late and can only clean up the mess. Although the Grand Elder did not say it explicitly, I feel that there is something fishy about the Tianxing Sect."
"By the way, the Grand Elder also said that the Xiong clan in the Baxian River Basin also sent people to the Tianxing Sect to help hunt down Chen Zhou Sanren. The Grand Elder asked us to be careful and it would be best if we could capture Chen Zhou Sanren. If not, we should help transfer the people from the Qianji Tower, which is a small sect supported by the Zhuge family."
Jiang Yuebai smiled, "Of course, the White Dragon Spear has been soaked in the Ten Thousand Years Cold Stalactite for some time, and the time for the final quenching has come. I am also ready to absorb the essence of the Candle Dragon, so I have to find a hidden place to complete these two things."
"Then I need you to help me protect the law and open the Nine Nether Gate. Once these things are done, we can stay at the Zhuge family and prepare for the Nine Rivers World Dragon Gathering four years later. The Supreme Elder told me that this year's Dragon Gathering will be different from the past, and the Lord of the Nine Rivers World will also appear."
"The Grand Elder said that the Realm Master will not appear every time, but when he does, as long as you can complete the Realm Master's test, you can ask the Realm Master to help you do something within your ability."
Jiang Yuebai seemed to be thinking about something as he looked towards the distant misty green mountains. There was a mountain called Qingyun Ridge that looked particularly like the Tianyan Sect's Qingyun Ridge.
"There are nine rivers in the Nine Rivers Realm. The upper three rivers are ruled by the realm master. The lower three rivers are occupied by independent cultivators, aristocratic families, and sects. I heard that the middle three rivers have many mountains, rivers, jungles, and secret realms of monsters. Although the environment is not as good as the lower three rivers, there has never been a powerful force occupying them. Only monsters are rampant."
"What do you want to do?" Bai Jiuyou asked.
Jiang Yuebai said bluntly, "Not long ago, Master Fuyi wrote me back, saying that the war in Taiwei Star Alliance was tense, and Ziwei Star Alliance was also showing signs of losing its position, so it was no longer suitable to establish a sect there, so I wanted to try to fight for the Zhongsan River Basin in Jiuhe Realm."
"I have told Senior Sister Fuyi about my idea. She will tell the others. When the Dragons Gather, they should all come to the Jiuhe Realm. Since the Zhuge family has a connection with the Tianyan Sect, perhaps they can help the Tianyan Sect. Let's try it first."
"If it succeeds, Master and the others won't have to wait until they can enter the upper realms until they become gods. They only need to leave some people in the earthly realm to guard the sect, and the rest can settle in the upper realms. Then we can all be reunited in the upper realms. I really miss you all."
Bai Jiuyou sighed when he heard this, "Tianyan Sect really made a fortune by accepting a disciple like you."
Jiang Yuebai said without any modesty, "Yeah, I think so too!"
Bai Jiuyou slept at the stern with his arms resting on his head, looking at the sky. "These are all long-term plans. Let's talk about the present first. Who are you going to send to help you locate the Jiuyou Gate? Xiaolu, the long-haired water ghost, or that crybaby Yan Hongyu?"
The boat was about to dock, and other ferries could be vaguely seen in the surrounding rivers.
Jiang Yuebai lowered his hat to conceal his aura, disguised himself as a Jindan Zhenren, and transmitted his voice to Bai Jiuyou, "Yan Hongyu is definitely not suitable. She has low cultivation and is lazy. If I say a word to her, she will cry for half an hour."
"The long-haired water ghost has no independent consciousness, and Xiaolu is one of my five spiritual tools. I currently have two plans. One is for my soul to leave my body and possess the long-haired water ghost to locate it, and the other is for Xiaolu to control the long-haired water ghost to locate it. Both methods have risks, and I am still undecided."
Bai Jiuyou sat up, thought for a moment and said, "It's too dangerous for you to leave your body directly. How about this, I will leave my soul to control the long-haired water ghost. There is a 'string' between my soul and yours. If anything happens, you can pull me back. If it's Xiaolu who gets swallowed into the underworld, you won't have a place to cry."
Jiang Yuebai smiled brightly and looked back, "We have arrived at the ferry, let's find a place to stay first and then plan carefully."
When the boat reached the shore, Jiang Yuebai handed the Zhuge family's token to the ferry guard for inspection and successfully entered the Green Ripple Market.
The market is not big, but there are a lot of people. Passers-by are all in a hurry and look alert, which makes people feel a tense atmosphere.
Jiang Yuebai released Yan Hongyu. The ghost slave mark on her forehead had disappeared. Jiang Yuebai originally wanted to let her go, but she insisted on staying and working like a slave. Unfortunately, she was clumsy and couldn't do anything.
Now Jiang Yuebai gave her another chance to find out about the fake Chen Zhou and the Tianxing Sect. If she couldn't do it well, Jiang Yuebai really couldn't keep her.
