As Xie Jiuniang stepped out of the door, she suddenly remembered a scandal involving the eldest wife in her previous life.
It was my uncle who had a mistress and gave birth to an illegitimate child. My aunt almost had a huge falling out with my uncle because of this.
Later, Xie Ying became a single spiritual root, and due to pressure, his uncle had no choice but to send the child to the Northern Territory Sword Sect.
Out of the hall.
I met three people coming towards me!
They are the lingering ghosts of Xie Ying and Lin Wangchen, and my grandfather’s sister Xie Wenshuang.
Xie Wenshuang took Dingyan Dan, and she still looked like a young girl, but her eyes were no longer pure, with strong traces of time. With the cultivation of Jindan, she was the only sixth-grade alchemist in the clan and had a very high status.
However, Xie Jiuniang didn't like her.
In the previous life, she was asked to refine the elixir, but she gave the elixir to Xie Ying without permission.
This time, he would rather let the spirit-washing grass rot than go looking for her. However, the grudges in the previous life were only known to her, and she could not use this as an excuse to turn against her.
Xie Jiuniang stepped forward politely and saluted, "Hello, Third Aunt."
"Yeah." Xie Wenshuang nodded coldly. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly moved closer to Xie Jiuniang and sniffed her.
Xie Jiuniang took two steps back in fear, "Third Aunt, what are you doing..."
"The fragrance of medicine! High-level?" Xie Wenshuang's question was not a doubt but an affirmation.
Xie Jiuniang was secretly shocked.
Dog's nose? Can you smell this
The smell of medicine from yesterday should have dissipated long ago.
Xie Jiuniang denied it and asked with a confused face: "What are you talking about? What kind of medicinal fragrance?"
Xie Wenshuang said unhappily: "You have the scent of a high-level spiritual plant on you."
"Ah? Well, then I don't know. I just ate a magical fruit from my grandfather's place." There was no way Xie Jiuniang would admit it.
Xie Wenshuang was confused, but it was not easy to ask in detail with outsiders around. It was just that the smell of medicine was very faint, a very rare smell, and she couldn't remember what it was, so she couldn't wait to see her eldest brother. She was the only sixth-grade alchemist in the clan, and any good medicine in the clan would eventually end up in her hands.
Xie Jiuniang separated from the three people and wanted to return to her own yard first.
"Little Taoist friend, please wait."
Lin Wangchen's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Xie Jiuniang was stunned, but quickly calmed down and turned back to ask doubtfully: "You are..."
Seeing that she was playing dumb, Lin Wangchen was not angry and smiled, "Ha, you forgot about me so quickly? We just met yesterday. I came out to gain experience this time and took the opportunity to deliver some things to the Xie family's main house on behalf of Senior Brother Haoran. I didn't expect that you are a member of the Xie family. What a fate."
Yes, it is fate.
Bad fate!
Xie Jiuniang was in a daze for a moment.
Lin Wangchen did not mention a word about the life-saving grace, and explained the reason why he was in the Xie family, clearing himself of the suspicion of blackmailing for repayment. If it were the simple-minded Xie Jiuniang before, she would probably really think it was fate.
But now the idea...
Oh, isn't it just reminding her that he saved her life
What is the purpose
Xie Jiuniang didn't think that Lin Wangchen just wanted to exchange a few pleasantries.
really…
Lin Wangchen asked tentatively: "Little Daoist friend, did you pick a spiritual plant from the lion and tiger's territory?"
"Yes." Xie Jiuniang nodded.
"Can you sell it to me? You can set any conditions."
"No way." Xie Jiuniang spread her hands and started talking nonsense. "I just gave it to my elders. It's too late for you to ask."
Lin Wangchen felt sorry.
This is a missed opportunity!
There are earth spirit flowers in the lion and tiger caves.
It is recorded in the Lin family's ancestral home that there is an 80% chance that there will be cleansing spirit grass near the ground spirit flower. There is another saying that the ground spirit flower is a companion plant of the cleansing spirit grass.
Before Izumo Mushan, I could still kill people and steal treasures. Now...
Lin Wangchen couldn't get it, so he didn't force it.
Wait for him to leave.
The relaxed look on Xie Jiuniang's face was gone. In her previous life, Lin Wangchen did not know how to wash spiritual herbs.
How did things change
Could it be that she didn't let him escort her back home, giving him time to search the lion and tiger caves and discover the medicine pit she dug
It has to be said that Xie Jiuniang guessed the truth at once.
After returning to the bedroom, Xie Jiuniang immediately opened the formation and took out the spirit-cleansing grass with a heavy heart.
"Can you save it this time?"
We need to think of a way to deal with it! Unfortunately, the spirit-cleansing grass needs to be combined with other spirit plants to make a pill to be effective, and it cannot be eaten directly...
…
In the evening, what Xie Jiuniang was worried about happened.
Patriarch Xie asked someone to invite her over.
The five people present were all from the clan leader's lineage; even the eldest aunt was not qualified to participate.
Patriarch Xie sat in the upper seat.
Sitting on both sides below were my uncle Xie An, Xie Ying and Xie Wenshuang.
To Xie Jiuniang's surprise, she also saw her second uncle Xie Ping. Usually, this second uncle was obsessed with talismans and having children, and seldom showed up unless necessary.
When Xie Ying saw Xie Jiuniang, no matter how calm she pretended to be, there was still some excitement in her eyes.
Seeing this situation, Xie Jiuniang remembered her past life and guessed what was going to happen.
When Xie Jiuniang came in, she bowed and greeted the elders first. She was the youngest person in the hall, and it would seem uncultured if she didn't take the initiative to bow.
Patriarch Xie was the first to ask, "Girl Jiu, someone said you picked the Spirit Cleansing Grass?"
"No, which bastard is spreading rumors? He deserves to be punished." Xie Jiuniang denied it with confidence.
Before Chief Xie could say anything, Xie Wenshuang beside him shouted, "You're lying! You clearly have the scent of the Spirit Cleansing Grass on you."
Uncle Xie said in a deep voice, "At such a young age, you have already learned to lie to your elders. I don't know how Third Brother taught you. Hurry up and take out the Spirit Cleansing Grass. It is of great use to the clan."
Xie Jiuniang was not angry.
She had already seen clearly the character of some people in her previous life, including the character of Xie Wenshuang, the most powerful alchemist in the family.
In Xie Wenshuang's eyes, the eldest wife is the legitimate daughter and is born nobler than illegitimate children. Illegitimate children have to depend on the eldest wife for survival and must make selfless contributions to her.
Uncle Xie is even less of a good guy. Since he can't bully Second Uncle behind his back, he keeps taking advantage of Third Uncle. But he's not so bad as to take his brother's life. He's just disgusting.
Xie Jiuniang said indifferently: "My parents only taught me what is propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and what is loyalty and good and evil. They told me to keep my original aspirations in mind when I grow up and to stick to the bottom line of being a human being. They also warned me that bullying the weak, robbing and other evil things are the behavior of beasts, and I must not do them, so as not to affect my practice..."
Xie Wenshuang’s face froze.
The three people from the first house looked at Patriarch Xie at the same time.
Patriarch Xie sat calmly drinking tea, and it was hard to guess what he was thinking.
But Uncle Xie almost laughed out loud.
Well said!
I almost threw some people's faces to the ground and stepped on them. As an elder, I am not as clear-headed as a younger person.
Uncle Xie smiled and praised, "You have a good understanding. The third brother and his wife have taught you well. It is not right to rob others of their opportunities, let alone rob your own family. Father, this precedent must not be set. It is not terrible for a family to decline, but it is terrible for it to rot from the root."
Patriarch Xie nodded indifferently without saying anything.
Uncle Xie said with a face full of shame: "Father, I was only thinking about the future of the clan. I didn't think it through for a while. I was anxious."
Uncle Xie then said to Xie Jiuniang, "Jiu Niang, the spirit-washing grass is too important to the family, and we won't take it from you for nothing. We will definitely compensate you fully."
Xie Jiuniang sneered in her heart, but pretended not to know and asked, "Who is Uncle going to use it for?"
"It's for your eldest sister. The potential of a single spiritual root is extraordinary and it is of great significance to the future development of the family." Uncle Xie used this reason to convince his father, but his father's attitude was unclear. He neither agreed nor stopped it.
Xie Ying stood up and said guiltily, "Ninth sister, I am sorry for you this time. If you need any help in the future, just ask. We are sisters and a family. There is no need to separate ourselves."
Uncle Xie said with relief: "Ying'er, don't feel too guilty. Ninth girl has always been sensible. She just didn't think clearly today. She won't really blame you."
"My daughter knows that Ninth Sister is doing well." Xie Ying responded.
There are so many scenes between father and daughter!
Xie Jiuniang rolled her eyes in her heart.
Patriarch Xie sat in the first seat, like an outsider.
Uncle Xie looked at his father's attitude and sighed in his heart.
They had already had an argument before Xie Jiuniang came over.
The major sects are about to recruit new disciples. The benefits of having two spiritual roots to the family are far less than having one spiritual root. At the moment, the ninth girl is definitely unable to resist, just like an arm cannot twist a thigh.
Uncle Xie knew that his daughter had always liked Xie Jiuniang, and he didn't want her to end up with nothing in return.
So he secretly sent a message to Xie Jiuniang: "Jiu Niang, the old ancestor's life span is less than a hundred years. Xie Ying promised to get the Shenhua Pill within a hundred years..."
Xie Jiuniang was stunned.
So that's it... No wonder!
