Chapter 169 The Bet with Ji Xueruo
Ji Xueruo looked closely and found that there was a very slight crack in the heart of the lotus root on the left.
Although the lotus root heart is a holy treasure of healing, if it cannot be taken away, it will lose all value to Ji Xueruo.
According to rumors, the reason why the Jinpeng clan is in urgent need of Lotus Root Heart is because the holy son of the Jinpeng clan had a dispute with the first genius of the Shenshan Lingbao Sect when he was hunting for treasure in a secret place. The two fought hard and both suffered extremely serious injuries.
So with the Lingbao Sect here, it is impossible for the Jinpeng clan to set foot on the land of Zhongyuan Continent at will. Therefore, the Jinpeng clan will not hesitate to issue tasks in the form of a sacred mountain trial, but even so, there is no demon. success.
"If you can't take it away, then you can only let in those who need it?"
You Su frowned and asked the master's wife to leave the lotus pond at Lianhua Peak and come so far away. , I’m afraid the losses are greater than the benefits.
"Theoretically speaking, this is true." Venerable Chengtao took two steps and stood in front of the invisible and colorless water curtain. "I want Mr. You and Miss Ji to seek the lotus root heart. It's all to save people. I won't ask you who you are, and I can even assure you that the identity of the person who comes to Yuhuan Pool for treatment will be kept secret. So I can only work hard to decide who gets this intact lotus root. "
Ji Xueruo glanced at You Su and found that You Su was looking at her apologetically. She knew the answer in her heart. It seemed that they all had reasons why they couldn't let the seriously injured person come to Yuhuan Pond in person. .
She pursed her thin red lips, suddenly lightened her body, and said calmly:
"I don't need to save anyone, I just want to give myself a chance to survive a desperate situation. In this case, I will give this intact lotus root heart to You Gongzi. One day I will be seriously injured and unable to recover, and I will climb to the Yuhuan. When I was at the entrance of the pool, I hoped that Venerable Chengtao could save my life."
After saying this, the girl pretended to smile casually.
It’s not like Lord Chengtao couldn’t hear the girl’s thoughts. His gentle eyes flickered back and forth on the faces of Ji Xueruo and You Su, and he understood the girl’s determination.
For this boy, since she can do this to this extent...why should she break off the relationship with him?
He grinned and glanced at Venerable Cuihe on the side. Even if she lives for hundreds of years, she still can’t figure out a woman’s thoughts...
“Wait!”
You Su suddenly interrupted sternly, he didn’t believe that Ji Xueruo had something else. If the purpose is just to find a trump card for yourself, how could you even risk your life? Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?
"Your Majesty only said that the theory is like this. It seems that there are other ways. Your Majesty might as well talk about it."
"I think Shen Xi should have told you, Lotus Sword Master He has a very high affinity with Yuhuan Pond, and the Xuanqi water in her spiritual platform is fully capable of preserving the Lotus Root Heart, so the only way is to let the Lord Lianjian preserve it for him. The Venerable deceived you into Yuhuan Pond and became Zangtu's dependent, but he did not lie to you."
Yousu was silent when he heard this. His previous promise to be cautious was just a delaying tactic, because he could not. He watched Yudie die in front of him for the sake of Lotus Root, but at this moment he could no longer agree.
"Master is still in retreat, but the person who needs Lotus Root Heart is in danger. I'm afraid Master can't help."
You Su lamented, the more Ji Xueruo gave it to him, the more he blamed himself, If it was a stranger, that would be fine. You Su might really accept it for the sake of his master's wife, but the other person happened to be Ji Xueruo, who was in an awkward period with him.
Caught between the two, he was indeed in trouble.
Ji Xueruo saw his tangled look and was about to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Venerable Chengtao.
"Young Master You has a unique lotus fairy species, and it stands to reason that he has a very high affinity with Yuhuan Pond. Maybe you... also have a chance to take away the lotus root heart."
Cheng Tao The Venerable stared at the center of You Su's eyebrows. Invisible under You Su's skin and bones, a fairy seed like a lotus shone brightly.
"Me? But I am only in the middle realm of Lingtai. My Xuan Qi is not enough, right?" You Su did not lose his thoughts because of the turn of events.
“It seems that Mr. You really has no awareness of his own strength.”
Venerable Chengtao made no secret of the admiration in his eyes. His only son, who was corrupted by the evil god, was also gifted. Excellent, but really pales in comparison with Yousu Tongjing.
“Although you are in the middle level of Lingtai, you have more Xuan Qi in your body than the average Lingtai level, not to mention that you also have an immortal seed equivalent to the second Lingtai. These Xuan Qi plus Standing up, he is comparable to a monk who has touched the threshold of the Condensing Water Realm.”
Ji Xueruo's beautiful eyes shone, You Su was indeed stronger than she expected. Perhaps there was such a group of people in this world who would always stand out among their peers. But Ji Xueruo will not feel inferior, because she must be one of them.
"How long can I preserve this false Ningshui Realm...?" You Su asked with concern. Even if he borrowed his green boat from the third elder, it would still take him four days to get back to Xuanxiao Sect. .
“It will take two days at most, Young Master You, to return to the Holy Mountain?”
You Su nodded.
"Then what Mr. You should be worried about is not this, but whether your spiritual platform can hold the lotus root heart. I need to report the situation to the Evil Repelling Department of the Holy Mountain, so I will personally send you back to the Holy Mountain in two days. , is enough."
"What will happen if you can't let it go?"
"The effect will be greatly reduced, or it will be completely destroyed. The spirit is very picky about the living environment. Whether Mr. You can be accepted by it is uncertain, so you still need to make your own decision. If it fails, I guarantee you that the next batch of Lotus Root Hearts in a hundred years will be There will also be a share of You Gongzi. "
Venerable Chengtao actually doesn't want to take this risk, but there is no other way. He really can't bear to let these two make outstanding contributions to Yuhuan Pool. The young people who contributed were disappointed.
You Su hung his head and hesitated. He didn't dare to bet. If he bet wrongly, the master's wife's realm would be gone forever, but he couldn't bear Ji Xueruo to give up her goal and give it to him. She can persist until now, and there must be a reason why she has to get Lotus Root Heart.
And just when he was about to give up, suddenly, the little white fish that had disappeared suddenly appeared in the dark sight!
It hovered next to the cracked lotus root heart, but the strange thing was that the two surrounding sages didn't even notice its existence!
You know, the little white fish is an evil spirit belonging to the dream master! It is impossible for these two Venerable Dongxu from the Evil Dispelling Department to allow an evil spirit to survive in the Yuhuan Pond!
You Su then remembered a key point. The little white fish is not hidden deep in the lake bottom like the soil. Its activity range is in the water, but even so, it was not discovered by the venerables...
Doesn’t this mean that its level is so high that it can’t even be seen in the Cave Void Realm without actively showing up?
You Su looked at the little white fish in shock, and the little white fish spit out a bubble and wrapped the lotus root heart in it, and then nodded towards You Su like a chicken pecking at rice, as if saying to him: Don’t worry, I’ve taken care of everything for you.
Then the little white fish happily drew circles and swam away.
"Don't think about it. I'll give it to you as promised. If you keep grinding, the people you want to save will die."
Ji Xueruo curled her lips, she least wanted to see it Yes, it’s You Su’s struggling look.
“No.” You Su took a step forward firmly, “I’m willing to give it a try.”
……
The autumn breeze is refreshing and the forest is surging, but the water of Yuhuan Lake next to the port is still.
You Su and Ji Xueruo stood on Lao Yu's fishing boat. They came on this boat and now they are going on this boat.
It’s just that Lao Yu seems to be in poor health and is still recuperating under the care of Xiao Yu. However, they don’t need to paddle on their own on the way out of the lake.
The dock was filled with people from the Jade tribe who came to see them off. The two venerables were the leaders, followed naturally by the maids such as Yu Meng and Yu Hao. At this time, they all had tears in their eyes and looked towards them reluctantly. As You Su waved the colorful scarf in his hand, it was like a colorful cloud in the sky.
"Young Master You! Remember to go back to Yuhuan Pond more often!"
Yu Long put his hand on his lips like a trumpet and shouted hard, as if this was You Su's hometown. .
You Su smiled and waved goodbye to the sisters.
Ji Xueruo glanced at him, then turned to Venerable Cuihe and said coldly: "Aunt Yuhe, it's getting late, so Xueruo will leave first." Venerable Yuhe covered his face and smiled: "Yes, it's time to go. I won't send you to Yongning Port. Remember to write a letter to report that you are safe. As long as it is for official reasons, Shenhanzhou will send you. Mr. You, the ship is about to start, be careful "Yo!"
She seemed to be reminding You Su that the boat was about to start, but in fact she was reminding You Su to be careful about women's jealousy.
She also wanted to send Ji Xueruo to the port to take a boat, but a holy land cannot be left without the presence of Lord Dongxu.
"Thank you, Auntie, for reminding me." You Su turned around and sat down on the boat wisely.
Ji Xueruo raised her head lightly and sat down while stroking her skirt.
This ancient fishing boat slowly disappeared from everyone’s sight under the operation of the underwater magic circle.
"Didn't Venerable Chengtao send you there? Why didn't you come together?" Ji Xueruo asked curiously. Of course, she would not feel that Yuhuanchi's treatment of the two of her was unfair because of this.
"He said that he still needs to tell the tribe a few words. After we get out of the lake, he will come out to look for me."
You Su knew very well that in fact Venerable Chengtao was They wanted to get on the boat together, but were held back by Venerable Cui He. Presumably, that gentle and beautiful woman wanted to give the two people who were about to separate one last moment alone together.
Ji Xueruo put her hands between her legs to suppress the black skirt that was raised by the lake breeze. The smooth and delicate legs under the skirt were like jade pillars, shining brightly.
"Hey, how are you?"
Ji Xueruo asked coldly, as if she didn't care about it and just asked casually.
"It's okay."
You Su could feel that a spiritual bead in his spiritual platform was slowly spinning, sucking in the Xuan Qi he had stored in the spiritual platform.
Ji Xueruo rolled her eyes prettyly, "You are from Xiaobaiyu's gang, right?"
"How did Miss Ji know?"
Watch on Yousu Come on, Ji Xueruo shouldn't have seen the little white fish. The rank of the little white fish should be higher than Zang Tu, so even the venerables who have seen Zang Tu can't see it. And he must have seen the dream eater, so he could see the little white fish.
"You can guess it. You have to thank it for giving you the opportunity to show your holiness personally. You didn't see the expression on Venerable Chengtao's face when he found out that you really put the lotus root heart into the spiritual platform. How shocked, I think he wants to make you the new eldest son of Yuhuanchi."
But You Su habitually reflected, "I don't know what the purpose of Xiaobaiyu is."< br>
“She came to see me last night.”
Ji Xueruo moved her gaze to Yuhuan Lake, seeming to be looking for the figure of the little white fish:
“The water has been hidden After death, she became the new water god of Yuhuan Pond as she wished. It was a creature born by Yuhuan Pond and was born to guard this place. Putting aside the old and heavy memories of Zang Shui, she was just a naughty person who loved to talk nonsense. It's just a little girl. If you are really worried about her having evil thoughts, come back and check on her from time to time. She can't even play with you anyway, let alone a little girl..."
"Besides what?"
"Besides, aren't there a pair of sisters waiting for you here?"
Hearing this, You Su didn't feel embarrassed at all, and didn't even have the slightest idea of explaining. None, he just sat quietly and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Ji Xueruo felt weird when she saw this, and felt that You Su's smile was nauseating:
"Why are you laughing?! I, I'm not jealous!"
You Su As if she was holding a grudge, she replied: "But I didn't say you were jealous."
Ji Xueruo remembered that she had teased him like this in the morning, and secretly felt that this man was really a coward. She originally wanted to scold the blind man. After a few words, I suddenly saw the lake shore not far away.
This trip to Yuhuan Pond is really coming to an end...
She had already decided that she would leave without hesitation after landing. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would Change your mind.
In this last moment, she should not tell any more jokes against her will.
The lake breeze blew away her black hair, revealing her facial features that were extremely beautiful, but also had a fierce heroic aura, which was a temperament unique to this snake girl.
“You Su.”
You Su was stunned for a moment and then sat upright.
In his impression, this was the first time Ji Xueruo called out his full name in reality, and it was no longer Hey or the estranged Mr. You.
"I admit, I probably have a crush on you, of course, just a little bit. Once upon a time, I hated all human male cultivators, but now I have fallen in love with the man my sister likes. Looking back on the experience of the past half month, I really feel that it is not true that all the karma and fate are pushing us together, as if we are destined to fall in love, but I don't believe in fate, compared to this sudden love. , I still have too many things to accomplish, and there are too many concerns to consider. In my opinion, they are more important than the love between children, so I want to make a bet with you."
“What bet?”
“After I have finished everything, if I still like you, then I will accept this fate and let you enjoy the blessings of this group of people. ?”
You Su was silent.
“So unsure of yourself?”
Ji Xueruo glanced at You Su disdainfully.
"I'll bet you."
You Su stood up, as firm as a rock.
Ji Xueruo also stood up, with crooked eyes and a bright smile.
Like a dragonfly touching water, the lips parted at the touch.
She jumped to the shore, her black skirt swaying in the green reeds, like a black snake leaving gracefully.
"Gone."
You Su opened his dark eyes and took in the girl's back, filled with endless thoughts about the future.
Ji Xueruo only said that he would wait for her to finish everything, but did not say that he could not help her.
Maybe there are some things that you don’t have to hold in your hands immediately. You Su believes that after time, this feeling will not cool down, but will become more mellow.
