On the way to the Inner Sea, Shi Wuming was in pain and happiness every day.
The pain is being beaten by the girl you like every day, and the joy is being able to be with the girl you like every day. Even if they just compete together, they are still together every day. Maybe after getting along for a long time, their feelings will come out
"Don't dream." Wen Tutu mercilessly interrupted his dream, "Will you have feelings for the defeated general who was hanged and beaten by you?"
Shi Wuming was immediately dissatisfied, "Brother Wen, can you stop pouring cold water every time? Can you save face for brother?"
Wen Tutu is easy to talk—after Shi Wuming stuffed him with another bottle of elixir and a few boxes of elixir fruits, he wiped his mouth with his little hand to show that he would not hit him again.
But soon Shi Wuming was dissatisfied again.
Because Qin Hongdao began to be interested in Wen Tutu, he asked Wen Tutu to compete, but the previous opponents were cruelly thrown aside.
Teacher Wuming: "..." What about cultivating feelings together
Wen Tutu has a good impression of Qin Hongdao, the senior sister, not only because Qin Hongdao is generous and generous, and she spoiled him a lot of greetings when they first met; but also because she is righteous and treats her own people very well, like an old hen Also protect the younger brothers and sisters below.
So when Qin Hongdao wanted to compete with Wen Tutu, who was a demon cultivator in the Yuan Emperor Realm, he agreed with great face.
Shi Wuming endured the pain in his heart and asked: "Fairy Qin, in fact, I can continue to compete with you."
Qin Hongdao smiled and said, "We'll compete again in the future when you reach Yuanhuang."
Although Shi Wuming has an indestructible physical body, his combat power is really not good. Qin Hongdao has already figured out his strength, and feels that there is no need to learn from him.
In fact, it was a sparring at the beginning, and then Qin Hongdao was purely playing tricks with him.
Qin Hongdao thought to himself, this is the friend of the junior brother and sister, and helping their friends improve their combat effectiveness will be more beneficial to their future experience.
It was also because of Qin Hongdao's quiet pointing, that moved Shi Wuming to death. How could she think this girl is so good? She was simply the best girl in his mind. If such a good girl didn't marry back as a wife, it would be a pity for his master's ardent expectation for so many years.
Otherwise, it is also possible for him to marry.
Probably because the teacher is so pitiful, Wen Tutu decided to help him.
After he and Qin Hongdao had finished exchanging ideas, Wen Tutu suddenly asked, "Master, have you considered what kind of Taoist partner you will choose in the future?"
Shi Wuming, who was squatting beside him, immediately pricked up his ears, and was so nervous that he almost broke the hilt of his sword.
"A Taoist companion?" Qin Hongdao looked at the boy who was a little taller than her waist in puzzlement, pinched his round bun face with a smile, and said, "I don't need a Taoist companion."
Teacher Wuming: "..."
I don't need a companion! I don't need a companion! I don't need a companion...
These six words were like sharp knives, piercing Shi Wuming's heart fiercely, making him look out of his body, very pitiful.
Wen Tutu gave him a sympathetic look, and asked again: "Why doesn't Senior Sister need a Taoist companion? Is it because she thinks a Taoist companion is troublesome, or she simply doesn't want it, or there are other reasons..."
"There is no other reason." Qin Hongdao said truthfully, "It's because I don't think it's necessary. A person is more free and unencumbered. He can explore many places and do what he wants."
"Even if you have a Taoist companion, you can do what you want." Shi Wuming said without losing the opportunity, "Look at Brother Ning and Sister Aqiao, they have always been like this, how enviable they are."
Especially when a single man is abused, it is really heartbreaking.
Qin Hongdao shook his head and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Ning is different from Junior Junior Sister. They have known each other since they were teenagers, and they have gone through the most difficult times together. They trust each other, which is difficult for many people to do."
Although there are immortal couples in the cultivation world, more people choose to go alone, yearning for that powerful and vast place of practice. There are too many reasons for not choosing Taoist couples. But if there is a good opportunity in front of you, it is also a blessing to get a friend, or a Taoist partner who you trust wholeheartedly and move forward hand in hand.
Qin Hongdao picked up the Qilin knife and put it on his shoulder, with distant eyes and a bright smile.
"The matter of a Taoist companion depends on fate. In addition to fate, it also depends on whether it is suitable. For me, I don't need a Taoist companion for the time being."

Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou had just pointed out the problems Ning Jichen encountered in his practice, when Shi Wuming and Wen Tutu pushed the door in.
Shi Wuming changed from his usual noise, walked to the corner silently, then crouched in the shadow with his arms around his knees, exuding a decadent atmosphere.
The three of them looked puzzled, turned their heads to look at Wen Tutu at the same time, asked him what happened with their eyes, Shi Wuming, what's the matter, didn't they happily nest in the practice room to learn with the senior sister
Wen Tutu told the three of them about the previous incident without concealing it.
"... The elder sister has made it clear that she doesn't need a Taoist companion now, and then he will become like this."
The three suddenly realized.
Ning Jichen said: "It turns out that Mr. Qin has taken a fancy to Miss Qin... Miss Qin has a great reputation, and she is indeed a very good girl."
Shi Wuming said dejectedly: "Fairy Qin didn't even think about it, I have no chance."
Even if she wants to consider it, you have no chance.
Ning Yuzhou, Wen Qiao, and Wen Tutu all thought to themselves, thinking that he seemed a little pitiful too.
They didn't comfort him, but took out various ingredients and prepared to make a delicious meal.
As a result, it turned into a dinner party in the flying boat. Even Yi Xuan, who was refining snowy pearls, was called over by Qin Hongdao, and a group of people had a lively meal.
It was the first time for Ning Jichen to taste so many delicacies made of natural materials and earth treasures, and at the same time, he felt a little suspicious of his son's cooking skills, "Yu Zhou, are you going to practice spiritual cooking instead?"
"No, I just learned it by the way."
Ning Jichen: "..." Well, his son is really good, he can do everything.
Everyone ate very happily. There are many treasures in Ning Yuzhou's space. Those high-level spiritual plants alone can be made into seasonings and ingredients. They even used a clean water lotus seed as a luxury. Not only did I knead half of it to marinate the meat, but the other half was used to boil a pot of spiritual fruit soup.
Whether it's barbecue or lingonberry soup, it's so delicious that people can't stop eating.
Shi Wuming also ate very happily.
After they had a full meal, Shi Wuming couldn't help whispering to Ning Yuzhou and the others, "Actually, you want to comfort me with delicious food, right?"
"Isn't it delicious?" Wen Qiao asked him.
"Delicious!" Shi Wuming nodded affirmatively. The Jingling water lotus is one of the five holy lotuses. No one uses it as a dish as extravagantly as they do. It's not delicious.
"That's fine." Wen Qiao said, telling him to stop nagging, just accept it.
Shi Wuming was touched, his oily fingers grabbed her, his eyes were red, "Sister Aqiao, you are my brothers and sisters, I am so touched."
Ning Yuzhou reached out and pulled Wen Qiao's hand away from his claws, and said displeasedly: "Speak as you speak, don't touch your hands, be careful that I will cut off your claws."
Shi Wuming is not afraid, it is not easy to cut off his claws.
Shi Wuming was healed by a delicious meal, and expressed his ambition: "I understand, I shouldn't give up too early, maybe if I persist, Fairy Qin will change her mind in the future."
Everyone: "..."
Wen Tutu flattened his mouth, and said unhappily: "Brother Ning, next time if there is something delicious, don't give it to him, it would be a waste to eat it."
Shi Wuming let out a hey, "Brother Wen, how could you do this? Didn't I finally cheer up under Brother Ning's comfort? Don't you want me to be decadent all the time?"
"It's good that you're decadent." Wen Tutu said, "Wen Gun Gun, don't you think so?"
Wen Gungun nodded, holding a piece of Golden Beard Emperor Cloud Bamboo and ran cautiously, making a happy barking sound.
Shi Wuming felt that he was hurting Wen Gungun for nothing, "Little Gungun, Brother Shi won't give you delicious bamboo in the future."
Wen Gungun ignored him, no matter how good his bamboo was, there were not many of them, only sister Wen could give it birth to inexhaustible spiritual bamboos, and sister Wen was the best.

After Yi Xuan refined the snowy pearl, the flying boat also arrived in the inner sea area smoothly.
Along the way, because Tutu released the aura of cultivators in the Yuanhuang Realm, no one without eyes came over to stop them, which saved them a lot of effort and allowed them to reach their destination smoothly.
There are many sea areas in the inner sea, which are divided into three parts: Shangzhou Island, Zhongzhou Island and Xiazhou Island.
Among them, Shangzhou Island is the most powerful, with many islands, and Shangzhou Island is monopolized by three forces, namely Min's, Zhanhailou, and Baifeng Island. Zhongzhou Island is next, and Xiazhou Island is the closest to the Central Continent, and has the most diverse forces.
"If you want to go to Shangzhou Island, you must first go to Xiazhou Island and take a boat across Zhongzhou Island before arriving at Shangzhou Island." Qin Hongdao said that she had been to the inner sea area before, even though she was a Yuanhuang in Hezong at that time. The elders come here to do business, and they also have some understanding of the inner sea area.
Ten years ago, they went to the Qiandao Sea Area to participate in the Qiandao Secret Realm experience, and they went directly in the spirit boat of the sect. Because the Qiandao Secret Realm was opened at that time, and the elders of the sect opened the way, they were able to reach the Qiandao Sea Area smoothly all the way.
But at other times, if a cultivator from inland came to the inner sea area and dared to take a flying boat across in such an arrogant manner, he would have to be regarded as a provocation by the people in the inner sea area and do it directly.
I have to say that there are also some conflicts between the Central Continent and the Inner Sea. On the surface, hello, me, hello, everyone, but in fact the competition is very fierce. .
Therefore, whether it is a cultivator from the Inner Sea who comes to the Central Continent, or a practitioner from the Central Continent who comes to the Inner Sea, they must sit down obediently and don't make trouble in other people's territory, so as not to be attacked by groups.
But they came to the inner sea this time to make trouble.
Wen Tutu said ferociously: "Don't be afraid, the big deal is to blow them all up with explosive beads, and then we will flee into the endless sea."
Anyway, they just came back from the Endless Sea, so they have some understanding of the Endless Sea, they can live well in the Endless Sea, and there are sea charts, so I don’t believe those people dare to follow into the Endless Sea.
Ning Jichen stared at the child inexplicably. Such a temper tantrum is indeed not from their Ning family.
Qin Hongdao said: "The matter has not come to this point, it is too early. We should go to Shangzhou Island first, and find out the situation of the Min family before it is too late."
Wen Qiao pursed her lips and said nothing.
In fact, they didn't get much evidence. Although they could confirm that her mother was of the Min family's blood in Shangzhou Island, they didn't know anything about the other circumstances. In a remote place, he even wanted to kill her with hatred.
So when we get to Shangzhou Island, we have to investigate and determine who the enemy is before we can do it.
Although Wen Qiao wanted to avenge her parents, she didn't want to hurt innocent people either.
Ning Yuzhou held her hand, smiled at her, and said, "Elder Sister is right, we'd better find out before we do anything. By the way, Auntie, I remember you have a friend in Zhongzhou Island."
Wen Qiao looked at him with some doubts at first, then quickly understood what he meant, nodded and said, "His name is Zong Zhao, and he is from Zhongzhou Thirteen Lines in Zhongzhou Island. Let me go to Zhongzhou Island to find him when I have time."
Zong Zhao is the body repairer that Wen Qiao met in the secret place of Qiandao. At that time, they led thunder to temper their bodies together in the mushroom forest. Although they didn't get along much, they cherished each other because they were body repairers. At that time, if Wen Qiao hadn't been in a hurry to find the lost Ning Yuzhou, she probably wouldn't have been willing to leave, so she continued to exchange body training experience with Zong Zhao, and continued to lead lightning in the mushroom forest to temper her body with him.
"Then go to Zhongzhou Island first." Qin Hongdao said, "Zhongzhou Island is not far from Shangzhou Island. If someone from Zhongzhou Island leads the way, it will save a lot of trouble."
As Qin Hongdao spoke, he took out a map.
Everyone leaned over to look at it, and found that it was a map of the inner sea area, but only Xiazhou Island, Zhongzhou Island, and a part of Shangzhou Island were not complete.
Qin Hongdao said: "These three forces on Shangzhou Island are equivalent to the three top sects in the Central Continent. Ordinary people cannot easily enter, let alone cultivators in the Central Continent. Therefore, there is no map of Shangzhou Island." Yes, if no one leads the way, we can only be blind, and we can't even touch the Min family."
That's why Ning Yuzhou suddenly mentioned Zongzhao, because he wanted to use Zongzhao to help lead the way.
After reading the map, Qin Hongdao said: "Let's go to Luohai City first, and take a boat to Zhongzhou Island."
Everyone had no objection, Ning Yuzhou let the flying boat go towards Luohai City.
Luohai City is the sea city closest to Shengwu Continent on Xiazhou Island. This sea city connects Xiazhou Island and the Central Continent. Many practitioners from the Central Continent want to go to Inner Sea City. First, they choose Luohai City. Haicheng departure.
Luohai City is very prosperous. It is built near the sea, and the buildings have the style of the sea. Most of the spiritual plants here are mainly water systems, which are easy to identify.
As soon as they entered the city, everyone was almost scattered by the bustling crowd.
Shi Wuming hurriedly pulled Wen Tutu, and casually grabbed it with the other hand. Turning his head, he found that he had caught Yi Xuan, and Qin Hongdao was on the other side of Yi Xuan.
He was very disappointed, but it was hard to show it, so he could only smile cheekily and say, "Brother Yi, be careful, there will be too many people and you will disperse."
Yi Xuan nodded sternly, and thoughtfully did not shake him off, lest the senior be embarrassed.
Qin Hongdao led the way, pushed the crowd away, and led them to a sea lane.
They first went to the boat shop to buy tickets to Zhongzhou Island.
There are many boats going to Zhongzhou Island, but they are expensive, and I really can't afford them if I don't have a little money. But there are still countless cultivators pouring into Luohai City, after all, this is the only safe route to Zhongzhou Island.
This is also the reason why Luohai City is so prosperous. It can be said that Luohai City has monopolized all the safe routes leading to Zhongzhou Island.
Qin Hongdao bought the ferry ticket with great wealth and wealth, and booked five luxury cabins at the same time, one for each of her, Yi Xuan, Shi Wuming, and Ning Jichen, one for Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou, Wen Tutu is a child , share a room with adults.
Ning Jichen said with some embarrassment: "I can just share with Yuzhou and the others, there is no need to spend so much money."
Qin Hongdao looked at him in surprise, and wanted to say something, seeing that Ning Yuzhou and the others had no objection, he asked for a four-room luxury cabin.
After buying the tickets to Zhongzhou Island, they boarded a three-story ship under the guidance of the boat operator.
After boarding the ship, Yi Xuan asked with some doubts: "Master, did you want to say something just now?"
Qin Hongdao glanced at him, then suddenly stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said, "You silly boy, Junior Brother Ning and Junior Junior Sister are husband and wife after all, so it's okay to live together, but Uncle Ning is an elder..."
Yi Xuan finally came to a realization, and then said: "Senior Sister, you are overthinking, there is nothing between them, and they haven't reached that point. Junior Brother Ning said that the grand ceremony will be held after they have cultivated to the Yuanhuang Realm in the future."
