Qiongqi protected his master and raised his leg to bite his neck, but Luo Jinxiao reached out and held him down, winking at her.
"Hurry!" the man roared again and took her out. Luo Jinxiao found it funny, so she did not resist and followed him out.
"Tang, Young Sect Master Tang, I advise you not to be ungrateful and hand over the business card that you stole from us!"
Luo Jinxiao was surprised when he heard his words. The one leading the Baiyue Sect was none other than Tang Lan'er. After five years, she didn't change much. Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and her waist was covered with layers of gold and jade pieces, which made her slender waist look even more graceful. One could tell at a glance that she was noble.
Tang Lan'er held the sword and pointed at me angrily: "You, the Life and Death Sect, have no shame at all. You can't beat me so you threaten the people. Don't you know that your reputation in the martial arts world has been ruined in the past few years!"
"So what? I won't kill her. But if you insist on not handing over the business card, I will cut off all of this girl's hair. Can you bear to see this black hair ruined?" As the man spoke, he put the knife against Luo Jinxiao's neck.
Luo Jinxiao never expected that this was what he meant, and immediately rolled his eyes.
"The treasure hunt has begun, hurry up!" the man said again.
"It's the Immortal Alliance's decision to take your business cards but not allow you to enter. I absolutely cannot give them to you! Since you have done something wrong, you must be punished!" Tang Lan'er said angrily.
Seeing her attitude, the man immediately became anxious and swung his knife, wanting to show her a warning. However, the motionless woman in black suddenly raised her hand and snapped her fingers at the knife in his hand.
In the instant he was stunned, the knife immediately turned into iron powder and fell to the ground.
Tang Lan'er saw the opportunity, stepped forward and pulled Luo Jinxiao behind her, then swung her knife and chopped. The other disciples of the Life and Death Sect rushed forward, and the two sides fell into a melee again, fighting fiercely.
Luo Jinxiao patted his sleeves, stepped back steadily, and watched from the sidelines. He grabbed a slower runner and asked, "My fellow immortal, may I ask if you must have a name card to enter the treasure hunt?"
The disciple of the White Moon Sect stopped fighting and stood chatting with Luo Jinxiao: "That's not true. In previous years, anyone could enter freely, but there were always people who couldn't get the treasure and caused trouble. This year, they learned their lesson and only released a certain number of name cards. Sects that have caused trouble or don't have immortal veins are not allowed to enter."
Luo Jinxiao nodded and thought to herself, she doesn’t have a business card and can’t get in. How can she find her junior master uncle then
She looked at Tang Lan'er who was fighting, and then she asked the man, "Does your Young Sect Master have any extra business cards? As the Young Sect Master, she should be able to bring people in, right?"
"Of course you can, but the young master is very willful and difficult to talk to." The disciple shook his head.
Luo Jinxiao pondered for a while, and suddenly moved, and appeared behind a man in black who was fighting with Tang Lan'er. She crossed her arms and just glanced at the man. The man's body was immediately covered with fine frost, and then he froze and the spirit sword fell from his hand.
Tang Lan'er was halfway through the fight when she saw her opponent frozen to the ground with a look of astonishment on her face. She raised her eyes and met the gaze of the woman in black, which was deep and clear.
"I'll help you deal with them, and you take me in, how about that?" Luo Jinxiao spoke, his voice pleasant and somewhat familiar.
Before Tang Lan'er could react, she saw the figure of the woman in black in front of her moving at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. When she stood in front of her again, the disciples of the Life and Death Sect had already fallen to the ground.
She opened her eyes wide, her face full of disbelief.
"You are also a cultivator. Who are you?" she asked in surprise.
"Anyway, he's not a bad guy. I've taken care of all the people for you. Do you want to take me in?" Luo Jinxiao bent over with his hands behind his back and raised his chin towards her.
Tang Lan'er took a step back and bit her lip, saying, "I can take you in, but you have to let me see your face first. Otherwise, who would know if you are a human or a ghost?"
Luo Jinxiao laughed, pointed at his own shadow, and said helplessly: "In broad daylight, how can I come up from the underworld?"
Tang Lan'er always felt that she was very familiar, yet very different, so she didn't dare to recognize her. She rolled her eyes and while Luo Jinxiao was not paying attention, she reached out to grab her veil, but Luo Jinxiao dodged it easily.
Tang Lan'er's grazing was in vain, her face flushed with anger, and she tried to grab it again. Luo Jinxiao didn't want to waste time with her, so he raised his hand to hold her wrist, took off the veil himself, and sighed, "Just take a look, but you must fulfill your promise after you have seen it."
When the black veil was removed, the first thing that was revealed was the high nose bridge and the pink thin lips. In the past five years in the mountains, Luo Jinxiao had covered her face to make it even whiter. Not only was her skin as smooth as a baby's, it even glowed in the sun.
Her almond-shaped eyes looked innocent and pretty, but with the look in her eyes, they seemed inexplicably cold and cold, and her dark pupils were like deep pools that seemed to be able to capture one's soul.
Tang Lan'er was stunned and didn't even realize that Luo Jinxiao had let go of her hand a long time ago.
"Luo Jinxiao?" she asked loudly.
"Shh, don't show off." Luo Jinxiao raised his index finger.
Tang Lan'er lowered her voice, reached out to touch Luo Jinxiao's arm, and confirmed that it was still warm, then said: "You, weren't you dead? In the battle five years ago, everyone said that you died at the hands of the demons, and I even burned paper for you, how come you are alive again?"
"Ah? People are saying that I'm dead?" This was the first time Luo Jinxiao heard about it and he was very surprised.
It was hard to tell whether Tang Lan'er's eyes were filled with surprise or happiness. She turned around on the spot, pulled Luo Jinxiao's sleeve and walked towards the crowd, asking Luo Jinxiao where he had been for the past five years.
Luo Jinxiao kept silent and responded perfunctorily, looking around, trying to find any trace of Qu Weiyin.
"Hey, why aren't you speaking?" Tang Lan'er pulled her angrily.
"Shh, give me two business cards." Luo Jinxiao spread his hands towards her.
Tang Lan'er pouted, said "oh", took out the business card and handed it to Luo Jinxiao, who handed it to Qiongqi beside him. Qiongqi held the business card, grinned foolishly and wanted to lean towards Luo Jinxiao.
Tang Lan'er pulled Qiongqi away with one hand, raised her eyes and asked Luo Jinxiao: "Who is she?"
"My daughter." Luo Jinxiao said perfunctorily and pulled Qiongqi into the house.
"Daughter? When did you give birth to her?" Tang Lan'er was quite frightened today and chased after him.
The treasure hunting venue was packed with people. Luo Jinxiao and his friends arrived late, so they could only find seats on the periphery. This place was very large. The huge circular platform in the center alone was more than ten feet wide.
Luo Jinxiao didn't want to be recognized by others, so she put on her veil again, but her eyes kept looking at the crowd. She saw many familiar faces, and even saw Chi Yi who was not far away. Chi Yi still looked decent and sat upright in his seat.
Luo Jinxiao smiled and suddenly felt that these five years should be just a blink of an eye to the outside world.
