girl let me check

Chapter 456 Trading
The next day, at Qingshui Bridge, Nan, Linchuan County.

The so-called Qingshui Bridge is just a small wooden bridge, no more than three meters long and about five feet wide, which can only accommodate two people passing side by side.

Going south from Linchuan, you will reach the land of Baiyue, which is full of miasma and has always been sparsely populated. Qingshui Bridge is not the only way to enter Jiaozhou from Yangzhou, so on weekdays, this bridge is also sparsely populated, with only fishermen occasionally passing by with fish baskets.

A thick layer of moss formed on the wooden piers beside the bridge, and the water surface was half covered by the moss, with the indigo-colored water waves clear and transparent.

The people from the Fansheng Temple arrived a little late. Xiao Jin squatted by the river, poking at the fat fish at the bottom of the river out of boredom.

When the fat fish saw her fingers stretched into the water, it did not run away. Instead, it came over and rubbed against her affectionately, showing great affection. It was quite magical.

"I heard that you also built a stone bridge like this in your mansion in Dongshan?"

"Ah."

Xie Lingwan answered somewhat perfunctorily.

This trip to Linjiang was an unexpected one. As the prime minister of the Great Zhou, all matters in Huainan had to be decided by her. Especially the military intelligence on the Jianghuai defense line, which flew into her hands like snowflakes in winter every day, so that she couldn't sleep for more than ten days in a row. If Xie Lingwan herself was not a five-element cultivator who specialized in spiritual cultivation, her body would have been unable to bear it long ago.

The girl stood straight, looking at the document in her hand meticulously, the charcoal pencil in her hand dancing.

"Remember to leave a room for me. I may come over to inspect it often in the future."

"Ah."

"Wow, Xie Lingwan, you are so perfunctory. I was wondering why Brother Fang seemed to be fed up with me last time. It turns out he learned that from you."

"Why are you silent again? Could it be that what I said made you feel empty-headed? No way, no way?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so stingy. At worst, I'll give in to you in bed next time..."

The girl sighed deeply.

She is really noisy.

"Clap."

Xie Lingwan put away the files in her hand and put them all into the space spirit ring.

She condensed into a water mirror, carefully reflecting her flawless face, and spoke in a cold voice:
"Sir Xiao, I am the prime minister, but I am more of a businessman."

"So?" Xiao Jin poked the fish's head and tilted his head.

"Businessmen can't do anything without profit. The time I spend chatting with you is time I could have spent doing anything else that would be profitable."

Simply translated: Get lost.

Everyone in the Great Zhou court knew that when Prime Minister Xie was not smiling, she was usually in a very bad mood. If it were an ordinary person, they might have been frightened into silence by her cold words. But Xiao Jin was obviously not one of them.

What's so scary about Xie Lingwan getting angry? A rabbit will bite when it gets angry, but Xie Lingwan can't even bite when she gets angry. Is that scary?
"But even Miss Xie, who only sees profit, took time out of her busy schedule to accompany me to Linjiang, didn't she?" Xiao Jin said with a smile.

"Xuan Zhongwei is the top leader of the Great Zhou. Your death will do me no good."

"Eh? Really? You really think so?"

Xiao Jin deliberately dragged out the sound.

Brother Fang was not far away, and she knew he could hear the two of them talking. If Xie Lingwan made me break down, he should be very happy too, right?

"Who was the person who rushed from Shouchun to Hefei overnight when he saw me injured? And who was the person who sent seven tokens to Zhang Rucheng and dragged the old man back?"

"Please don't use too many subjective adjectives when describing a story," Xie Lingwan said expressionlessly.

"Oh..." Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes, "Then who was the one who said 'I don't have many friends' when I fainted?"

"boom."

Xie Lingwan crushed the water mirror in front of her with one hand.

"Hehe." Xiao Jin laughed quite happily.

Although it felt sour when I was jealous of her in front of Brother Fang, I was quite happy now that I made her break down.

This is our Wanwan. Do you have a Wanwan like this?
Xiao Jin decided to quit while he was ahead and stop provoking her, so as to avoid retaliation from this petty-minded woman.

"Crash."

She picked up the bighead carp from the water and handed it to Xie Lingwan.

"I'm giving it to you." Xiao Jin said while holding the fish and looking up.

The bighead carp flapped its wings vigorously in her hands, and the splashing water fell on Xie Lingwan's green skirt.

She took a step back with a hint of disgust.

Miss Xie has a slight obsession with cleanliness. Not to mention the fish, even the object holding the fish is now classified as a dirty thing by her.

"Take your fish and stay away from me." Xie Lingwan took out another stack of documents and prepared to continue working. "And keep quiet, thank you."

Under a big tree not far away, Fang Tang and Fang Weihan heard every detail of the conversation between the two young ladies.

"I said, Tangtang."

Fang Weihan said somewhat helplessly.

"You've been watching me for over an hour today, do you want to take a break?"

"Of course I want to rest." Fang Tang stood gracefully beside the tree and said with a smile, "But I'm afraid that if I don't keep an eye on the teacher, she will be snatched away by another woman."

Fang Weihan felt like something was pressing on his head, and it seemed very heavy.

He selectively ignored this sentence, staring straight ahead and pretending to be dead.

"Teacher, have you and Xie Lingwan ever had sex?" Fang Tang asked suddenly.

Fang Weihan: "?"

She was hit on the head instantly.

"What are you asking at such a young age? Is this a question a student should ask a teacher?" he said angrily.

"Can't you ask?"

The little queen covered the place where he had hit her with one hand, with a resentful look on her face.

"I'm just worried about the teacher. I want to know how far the relationship between the teacher and Xie Lingwan has developed. I have absolutely no other intentions. If the teacher doesn't want to tell me, she can just refuse. There's no need to get so angry."

She slowly lowered her head, as if she wanted to hide her entire body in the soil.

"If I can't ask, then I won't ask."

Fang Weihan always felt that Fang Tang's words were moving in a strange direction recently. The kind of words that made him feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't find any fault with them.

Originally she was just throwing a tantrum and being unreasonable, but now she acts as if I was the one who bullied her.

It’s strange, how did Fang Tang do it?
"It's not something that can't be discussed." Fang Weihan said after a moment of silence, "If you insist on asking..."

"I insist on asking." The girl immediately raised her head and said.

Looking at her sparkling phoenix eyes, Fang Weihan always felt like he had fallen into some kind of language trap.

"Have."

"Oh, yes."

Although Fang Tang was still smiling, the light in his eyes had faded away without anyone noticing. The smile that could barely be considered brilliant slowly faded until it finally became quiet and dull.

The teacher is no longer clean, and it’s the kind that no matter how much you wash it, it’s useless.

"That is to say, the teacher has only ever been married to Xie Lingwan, right?"

If Xie Lingwan was the only one there, she could still use it. Although she didn't like eating leftovers, she was her teacher after all.
Fang Weihan's expression was extremely natural: "Of course not."

The facial expression management that Fang Tang had always been proud of was a little out of control at this moment.

No? No, why do you say it so naturally?
"Who else?" She asked through gritted teeth, "Is it that big-breasted Xiao Jin? Or that harmless-looking Tao Yunjiang? Or that pretentiously cool Wen Zhexue!"

"A bunch of unfaithful fellows. I've known about them for a long time..."

In order to prevent her from saying more offensive words, Fang Weihan quickly covered her mouth.

You know, the people present were all cultivators above the sixth level, and they might be able to hear their conversation. Isn't it purely to destroy the relationship by Fang Tang saying this? "Wuwuwu..." The little queen struggled violently.

She broke free from Fang Weihan's grasp and asked through gritted teeth, "Teacher, just tell me if there is a woman named Xiao Jin!"

"Why are you asking Xiao Jin alone?" Fang Weihan was surprised.

"Because I don't like her!"

Well, that's a pretty straightforward reason.

When Fang Weihan brought Fang Tang to Linjiang, he had already anticipated the current situation. Xie Lingwan was cunning, Wen Zhexue had a good temper, and only Xiao Jin could argue with Fang Tang.

Both of them have extremely strong possessiveness, and their styles of doing things are quite similar, which also leads to their natural dislike for each other.

"If it's Xiao Jin, then no."

Fang Weihan pondered for a moment and told the truth.

"She is different from Xie Lingwan. She still has elders at home who take her marriage very seriously. Naturally, they think that this kind of thing should be postponed until after marriage."

Fang Tang laughed out loud upon hearing this: "She was screaming so loudly yesterday, it turns out she is also someone who has never tasted meat."

"Oh, it's a good thing that she has such a pair of seductive things. She looks like a coquettish and slutty bitch, but in the end, she can only be looked at but not eaten. How pitiful."

"boom!"

Immediately she was hit on the head again.

"How can you talk like that!" Fang Weihan was angry.

After knocking once, he still felt unsatisfied and decided to knock a few more times.

"You are obviously my student, why do you speak even more dirty than me? Change it!"

Fang Tang held his head in his hands, refusing to admit his mistake: "Teacher, you don't even know what Xiao Jin said about me yesterday! She almost pointed at my nose and called me a bitch and a vixen! I don't want to be nice to her!"

"Change it!"

"No! No! This is the only thing you can't change! When you reach my age, you will understand!"

Fang Tang retorted confidently.

Fang Weihan was almost laughing because of her.

"You are an emperor, you should at least behave like an emperor! It is not proper to scold like a shrew!"

Hearing this, Fang Tang felt even more aggrieved: "If it weren't for the teacher's sake, I would have chopped that busty guy off with a sword long ago! Why would I have to go through so much trouble!"

Fang Weihan could only sigh. It seemed that it would take some time to resolve the dispute between the two of them.

"teacher!"

Fang Tang suddenly summoned the Xuan Yao Sword.

She took his hand and whispered, "Someone is coming!"

……

"People from the Fan Temple are approaching."

Wen Zhexue's figure appeared beside the two of them along with the starlight.

"There are seven people, two with seven turns, and five with six turns."

Xie Lingwan's heart was filled with ripples.

There are a total of eight guardians in the Fansheng Temple. Excluding Fan Hong who is imprisoned in the prison, there are seven left. Now it seems that all of them have come?

"Looking at it this way, I should be more important to them."

Xiao Jin smiled slightly, drew Zhuye from its sheath, and made an arc-shaped sword flower.

"How are you, Xie Lingwan? Are you scared? If you are scared, you can run away in advance. It's not too late now."

Xie Lingwan was too lazy to pay attention to her and threw a stone at her.

"What is this?" Xiao Jin raised his hand to take it and asked curiously.

"Shenyue Dinghai Formation Stone, an eighth-level remaining formation." Xie Lingwan said casually.

Xiao Jin waited for a long time but she didn't say the second half of her sentence.

"No, that's it?" Xiao Jin looked confused. "What is this for? Why don't you tell me about it?"

"Just take it with you, and don't ask too many questions." Xie Lingwan was busy sending messages to Fang Tang and Fang Weihan and had no time to pay attention to her.

"cut."

Xiao Jin turned to look at Wen Zhexue and asked softly:
"Sister Wen, what is this formation for?"

"I'm not sure." Wen Zhexue shook her head. "I only have a little understanding of the formation. But since it's Ling Wan's work, it must be useful. Xiao Jin, you must be obedient."

"Okay." Xiao Jin put the formation stone on his waist and muttered, "For Sister Wen's sake..."

Beside the broken wooden bridge, the three girls spread out in a V-shape, all of them were on high alert.

Accompanied by a gust of wind, the monks of the Fan Holy Temple came out from the dense forest one after another, stood in a row on the opposite side of the river, and faced Xie Lingwan and others across the river.

The leader had deer antlers on his head, hair covering his neck, and green clothes with his chest exposed, which was quite strange.

"Fan Sheng Temple, I am imprisoned and I have come to keep my appointment."

Qiuwu performed Southern Xinjiang etiquette to Xie Lingwan and others, speaking in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Is the person coming here Prime Minister Xie of the Great Zhou?"

"I'm Xie Lingwan."

The girl put her hands behind her back, her tasseled skirt swaying in the breeze.

"I heard that people in the Holy Temple don't like to greet each other. Is that true?" Xie Lingwan asked loudly.

"That's true," Qiu Wu replied, "because we can sense the emotions coming from all the spirits in the world."

"Oh?" Xie Lingwan smiled slightly, "Then why don't you tell me, Great Protector Qiuwu, what are my emotions?"

"Prime Minister Xie wants to make a deal with us." Qiuwu replied.

"Exactly."

Xie Lingwan suddenly sighed.

She raised her hand, and pure, violent water flowed around her white wrist, transforming into a mad dragon ready to fly.

"It seems that you don't agree to this deal?"

All the spirits on the opposite side stepped forward and prepared to fight.

"Hello, hey, hey, Xie Lingwan, what's going on? Why do you start fighting as soon as you meet? Don't you want to talk?" Xiao Jin asked in a low voice.

"Obviously, the talks broke down." Xie Lingwan replied lightly.

"We haven't discussed this yet, have we?" Xiao Jin was stunned. He almost doubted whether he was too stupid to follow her train of thought.

"We agree with the deal, but I'm afraid it's not what Prime Minister Xie wants." Qiu Wu raised his hand to stop everyone and said slowly.

"Say your terms."

"Hand over your spiritual power, and we will help Master Xiao to eliminate the evil thoughts in his heart."

"No, you guys are too dark, aren't you?" Xiao Jin played the role of adding fuel to the fire, the Zhu Ye sword flashed slightly, and it was obvious that he was eager to try.

Xie Lingwan let the water dragon spin around her fingertips and asked casually, "What if I don't agree?"

"Lingqi is of great significance to our sect and must not be lost." Qiuwu raised his hand and summoned a long spear, pointing it forward.

He said grimly, "Everyone knows that Prime Minister Xie is a man of extraordinary strategy. There must be an ambush here, but in order to bring back the spirit, we have no choice but to fight to the death."
