Thinking of this favorability, Jian Zhi couldn't help but frown.
"--" He had seen this level of favorability on almost everyone. After all, Qin Wanwan was pretty. As for her looks, no matter how pure and simple she was, she would have a favorability of about 5. It was completely abnormal that there was no favorability at all, especially when he was obviously pursuing Qin Wanwan.
"666," Jian Zhi thought, "Will the favorability be displayed?"
"That's not necessarily the case," 666 thought, "There are many situations where favorability won't even be displayed."
"For example?"
"Take yourself, for example," 666 gave him an example, "you can't see your own favorability. Sometimes, under special circumstances, some people can bypass the system through special means and block the favorability. Sometimes the system is broken, there is a bug, etc..."
"I understand," Jian Zhi nodded, "this thing is really useful."
"That's not what I meant..."
666 tried to explain, but Jian Zhi was too lazy to listen and just said, "Shut up."
After a night's rest, Liu Zhong brought them to say goodbye early the next day. He spoke beautifully, but he did not mention a word about inviting them to Liu's house.
After Liu Zhong left, Cui Lu looked at Xie Gutang uncomfortably and said, "Tsk tsk," "Last night, they said they would invite us to stay at Liu's house. Their master would definitely treat us well. But today, they didn't even mention this matter. What evil did your Tianjian Sect do to make them so scared?"
"I'm afraid it's not our fault," Xie Gutang smiled good-temperedly, "It should be that they don't want us to know something."
"Have you contacted your junior brother?" Qin Wanwan turned to look at Xie Gutang.
Xie Gutang nodded: "I asked my junior brother last night, and he said that he had already arrived in Huacheng in advance. I don't know about this, but Liu Shi doesn't know about it. When we get to Huacheng, he will come to the city gate to pick us up."
"Then let's do it."
Jian Zhi stretched lazily. He looked around and was quite happy to see that Mei Sui Han was not there. He said, "Let's go!"
As he said this, he got into the car first. When he lifted the curtain, he saw Mei Suihan already sitting inside. He was holding a teacup and sipping tea leisurely. When he saw Jian Zhizhi coming in, he looked up and smiled warmly: "Are you ready?"
Jian Zhi's smile immediately disappeared. He threw the curtain aside and sat outside.
Everyone looked at each other, Qin Wanwan coughed lightly, and called everyone: "Get in the car."
Everyone said nothing and hurriedly got on the carriage. Qin Wanwan was the last one to get on. Just as she was about to get in, she heard Jian Zhizhi say, "Why, I'm driving the carriage alone?"
Usually, everyone took turns driving the carriage. Jian Zhizhi had never said anything when he was driving before. When Qin Wanwan heard him mention this, she knew he was unhappy. She sat next to him obediently and said softly, "Then I'll accompany you."
Jian Zhi glanced at her and immediately smiled, but he didn't want her to notice, so he controlled his expression, patted the spirit horse, and called softly, "Let's go."
Spirit horses are different from ordinary horses. They are fast and steady. Usually, flying a sword consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Unless there are special circumstances, they are usually killed by spirit beasts.
Jian Zhi set up the barrier, turned his head to look at Qin Wanwan who was sitting steadily, took out a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts from his sleeve and threw it to her: "Eat it."
Qin Wanwan was stunned, she opened the paper package and found peeled chestnuts inside, steaming hot, which must have been kept warm by spiritual power.
"You asked me to sit outside so you could secretly give me some chestnuts?"
Qin Wanwan smiled, somewhat happy. Jian Zhi glanced at her lazily: "You think too much."
Qin Wanwan was eating chestnuts. At noon, they arrived at the lakeside. They changed from land to water and took a small boat to Huacheng.
"Huacheng is really a water city," Mei Suihan set up a wine table on the boat, poured wine for everyone, fanned himself and talked about the local customs, "It has beautiful mountains and rivers, and people love poetry and fine wine. Since ancient times, there have been many talented men and beautiful women. Huacheng is a prosperous place for magic cultivation. The Liu family is famous for its sealing skills. It is said that no evil person in the world can be sealed."
Hearing this, Qin Wanwan glanced at Jian Zhizhi.
It seemed to make sense that when Lin Yanzhi was temporarily sealed by Qin Wanwan's parents and then taken away to Huacheng, it made sense.
Mei Sui Han took a sip of wine and turned to look at the surrounding mountains and rivers: "I have heard rumors about it for a long time, but I have never seen it. Today, I see the scenery of the Flower City, and it is indeed beautiful."
"Mr. Mei," Cui Lu couldn't help but frown as she listened to Mei Sui Han's words, "You don't look like you have lost your memory."
"Maybe it's intermittent amnesia," Mei Sui Han smiled, "I remember some things, but not others."
As they were talking, there were noises in the distance. Qin Wanwan looked up and saw a pier in the distance. Behind the pier, the words "Flower City" were written on it. There was a city gate standing tall and willow trees on both sides. This scene was exactly the same as the scene that Young Master Wuyou made her see in the illusion.
The boat slowly approached the shore. After Qin Wanwan paid the boatman the fare, she got off the boat. As soon as she got off the boat, she heard an excited call: "Senior Brother!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a young man in a flashy robe pushing through the crowd and running towards them. The patterns on his clothes were extremely complex, with a golden base, and the edges and belts were all matched with various colors. He had a golden crown inlaid with beads on his head, and a small gold-sprinkled fan in his hand. If it weren't for the sword on his waist, you wouldn't know he was a sword cultivator at all.
He trotted all the way to Xie Gutang, quite happy: "Brother, I came to the dock as soon as I heard your message this morning."
Xie Gutang stood there smiling without answering. Qin Wanwan and the others walked behind Xie Gutang, and the young man turned around and said, "This is Senior Brother..."
After he finished speaking, the young man fixed his gaze on Qin Wanwan's face, and was absent-minded for a moment.
Jian Zhizhi watched helplessly as the young man's favorability soared from 0 to 40 in an instant. A moment before the young man opened his mouth, Jian Zhizhi took a step forward for Xie Gutang, with Qin Wanwan blocking behind him.
"If you have something to say, talk about it," Xie Gutang stopped the young man and reminded him, "You're getting married soon, don't act rashly."
Hearing the reminder, the young man laughed: "Brother, you are joking. I just saw the girl like a fairy descending from the earth and admired her beauty. I lost my composure for a moment."
As he said this, he turned to Qin Wanwan and nodded generously: "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me."
If someone else said these words, it would be offensive, but he had a cheerful and generous temperament and admitted it frankly. Qin Wanwan just thought he was complimenting her and nodded, "No problem."
"I am Luo Zhou from the Tianjian Sect," the young man looked behind Xie Gutang and asked politely, "Are you all my senior brothers and friends?"
"Just keep it simple."
"Qin Wanwan."
"Emerald Green"
"south wind"
"Mei Sui Han."
As soon as they gave their names, Luo Xiaozhou nodded and smiled: "Then we are now acquainted. I have prepared some wine to welcome you all. Please come in, fellow Taoists."
Having said that, Luo Xizhou called everyone to leave together.
He spoke humorously and did things flawlessly. He led Dadi into the city, went to a restaurant, and invited Dadi to sit down.
The waiter came with the dishes, and first brought two pots of wine, one was a pink slender bottle, and the other was a brown large jar. Luo Yuzhou stood up and poured wine for Qin Wanwan and Cuilv with the pink bottle, and said with a smile: "I asked my senior brother when I came here, and I heard that there are two girls who specially found the famous flower wine in the city. The wine is sweet and fragrant, and you won't get drunk even if you drink a lot. I hope the two girls like it."
Qin Wanwan was surprised that Cui Lu had never received such special care before. Cui Lu immediately smiled, took a sip, and nodded, saying, "It's really delicious."
"What do you think, Miss Wanwan?"
Luo Xinzhou looked at Qin Wanwan. Qin Wanwan took a sip and it tasted really good. She nodded: "It tastes good."
Luo Yuzhou raised the brown jar and poured wine for his man, explaining: "This is a strong liquor, very fragrant and pure, fellow Taoists, please try it."
Jian Zhizhi nodded in thanks, and Luo Xizhou then led everyone out for drinks and dinner.
With him around, the table was lively and bustling. Qin Wanwan had to lower her head and said in a simple voice, "Lord Luo and Brother Xie have very different personalities."
"I don't know their personalities," Jian Zhizhi glanced at the two men and whispered, "Their mental methods are not good either."
Generally speaking, a sect may practice different techniques, but generally a sect has a set of mental methods.
The mental method determines the way to absorb spiritual power, while the skills determine how to use the spiritual power. For example, some people can be used as medical practitioners, some as sword practitioners, and some as magic practitioners. This is the difference in skills.
Qin Wanwan was a little surprised, and had to take a closer look. Luo Yuzhou seemed to have heard their discussion and said directly: "You two don't know that the Tianjian Sect has two sets of mental methods for sword cultivation. These two sets of mental methods are from the same lineage, but there are two different methods in specific cultivation. My senior brother cultivates the Heart-Searching Sword, which is pure in heart and desires, and loves the universe; while I cultivate the Love Sword, which is to understand emotions and the truth, and to see what I see. In short, it is-"
As Luo Xinzhou spoke, he glanced at Qin Wanwan and said meaningfully: "My senior brother is a man of no desires or demands. But I am destined to be a sentimental person."
"This is the first time I've heard someone describe promiscuity in such a refreshing and refined way."
Mei Sui Han suddenly spoke, and Luo Xizhou looked over and saw that Mei Sui Han had a smile on his face, but his words were not polite at all.
Luo Xinzhou smiled and shook his head: "No, I only love one person at a time, and I am very serious every time."
"Don't listen to his bragging," Xie Gutang said calmly, "From childhood to adulthood, he has pursued every girl."
Luo Yuzhou's expression froze. Xie Gutang glanced at him calmly and said, "If there is such a child marriage, he will never get married in his life."
"Brother," Luo Xizhou said with a forced smile, "eat well."
As he spoke, Luo Yuzhou looked out the window and said happily: "Hey, hey, hey, look, that bird is flying so fast!"
He forcefully changed the subject, and Qin Wanwan held back her laughter and lowered her head.
After the meal, Luo Xinzhou arranged for everyone to go back to their rooms.
After making all the arrangements, he returned to his room yawning. When he opened the door, he saw that everyone except Mei Sui Han was in his room.
Luo Xizhou was stunned. Xie Gutang set up a barrier and glanced outside the door: "That person just now is here, so it's inconvenient to talk. We just came to ask you, what's the matter with your marriage to Liu Feishuang? We met Liu Feishuang on the road, and she left. She said that Liu Xi wanted to kill her."
"About this matter," Luo Xizhou heard the question, smiled and opened and closed his fan as he sat down, thought for a while and said, "I am also curious."
"How to say?"
"My marriage to Liu Feishuang was arranged when I was young. Now the time has come for us to get married. Liu Feishuang suddenly asked for a water spirit bead as a betrothal gift."
"Water Spirit Pearl?" Xie Gutang looked up at Luo Xizhou, who nodded. "Yes, they wanted it, so I went to the East China Sea, got the Water Spirit Pearl, and came to propose marriage. On the wedding day, I will bring the Water Spirit Pearl to them. Just after we set the date, I received a letter from Fei Shuang, saying that she would not marry me and that this marriage would kill her."
Luo Xinzhou looked calm and spoke without saying anything. Xie Gutang only asked, "And then you came here?"
"Yes, at first I hoped that Liu Yu would let me talk to her once, but Liu Yu used the reason that we couldn't meet before marriage and tried every means to stop me. So I came here in person, and the wedding was in ten days. Before that, I wanted to ask her what she meant. But when I came here in person, Liu Yu insisted on letting me meet her and stopped me twice. I asked around for information. At first I thought Fei Shuang was afraid of ghost marriage, but after I asked around carefully, I found that ghost marriage in Huacheng is more of a custom. For more than a hundred years, there have been many deaths due to it. Fei Shuang should have reason to be afraid of this matter."
"So you don't know why she thinks such a marriage will kill her."
Qin Wanwan concluded, and Luo Yuzhou nodded: "Not bad."
"Then do you have any ideas for us to ask?"
Qin Wanwan asked, and Luo Yuzhou smiled bitterly: "If I had a way, I would go and ask myself."
Everyone fell silent. Jian Zhi glanced at everyone and said, "How about this? Let's try the same old trick again."
"Um?"
Qin Wanwan looked over, and Jian Zhi was full of confidence: "Let's dig over there!"
Qin Wanwan: “…”
"Don't think about it," Luo Yuzhou shook his head after hearing this. "Did you hear that the Wenxin Sect was dug down a few months ago?"
Hearing this, Qin Wanwan fell silent.
Luo Xinzhou continued: "I have heard that similar incidents have happened not only in the Wenxin Sect, but also in the Ghost City. Someone dug down their female bathing pool. Some people say that this matter is related to the demon species. Before the demon species in the Desolate City exploded, it seems that someone also dug up the master bedroom of the Ning family's ancestor."
"This is a rumor!" Qin Wanwan was sure that they had dug it up on purpose from the last sentence.
Luo Xinzhou waved his hand: "It doesn't matter whether it's a rumor or not. Anyway, all the major sects now pay great attention to underground defense. They have spent a lot of money to install barriers underground so that no one can dig in."
Everyone was silent again.
"There is only one last resort now."
Luo Xizhou had a serious expression on his face and looked up at everyone.
Everyone looked over and saw Luo Xiaozhou speaking seriously: "Tomorrow is Liu Xiao's wedding day. Liu Xiao is holding a big banquet and rehearsing for the performance on the wedding day. Suddenly, a member of the circus was sick and couldn't go, so Liu Xiao is looking for you to take his place. It's just right that you're here, everyone is grateful."
Luo Yuzhou said, closing his fan: "Everyone, get in together!"
