I really am not a freeloader!

She had actually been aware of her feelings for a long time, but she just didn't want to confirm it.

It's just that she has been avoiding it all the time, because she is still by Zhao Qian's side, and because there is still meaning for her to stay.

As long as I stay by his side long enough, nothing I give him later will be too much.

This is why she stays with him now.

It was a way of deceiving herself because she didn't want to admit that she had fallen in love with an ordinary person.

If possible, this lie could have lasted for a long time if An Xinran had not intervened.

After all, the reward he could offer was very generous, and ordinary independent cultivators or small families simply could not afford it.

But it is possible to settle down.

If I didn't have this reason, how could I convince myself to stay with Zhao Qian?

Since the road to repaying gratitude has been taken, I have to...

"So, you want to stay here with him forever?

Now she is called the Blue Cloud Witch Ji Huanglian. "

"what?!"

Ji Huanglian was stunned. She had only spent such a short time outside, but she was already labeled a witch?

This, this is why...

"Your senior brother said that in order to snatch the treasure of your junior brother, you actually hired people from the outer sect to kill him.

And those people who came out for the trial with you at that time all said that they were attacked by you.

Do you have anything to say about this? "

"I, I didn't. I just wanted Junior Brother to share the secret realm with me at the suggestion of Senior Brother. But I didn't expect that so many people would suddenly show up to kill us. We fought hard, and then..."

"then……"

Ji Huanglian explained, and finally she and the targeted junior brother ran together.

However, the traditional misunderstanding was not resolved, and instead the two of them started fighting.

In the end, the opponent played all his cards, even using the remaining Mahayana soul in his body, before he defeated him.

Otherwise, how can a cultivator in the foundation-building stage compete with a cultivator who has already opened up a whole realm behind him?

Then came…

Ji Huanglian's heart gradually became depressed, and she spoke slowly.

The eldest senior brother rushed over, because he had offended the Mahayana realm, so he did not ask questions and did not pursue the truth.

Just because he offended the big shot, he voluntarily sealed his cultivation and left himself in the monster forest in the wilderness.

However, after the eldest senior brother left, the younger junior brother turned back and sealed his own consciousness.

"I want to see if Senior Sister can break free on her own in the end."

Just by saying these few words, his consciousness was sealed by the Mahayana magic power and he couldn't even move his body.

Moreover, the seal on the Mahayana consciousness is not so easy to unlock.

If Zhao Qian hadn't picked it up, he would have died, or been picked up by someone else and used as a toy? !

After reviewing today's situation, Ji Huanglian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. She somehow realized how much karma Zhao Qian owed her.

"..."

An Xinran narrowed her eyes slightly. She couldn't listen to everything Ji Huanglian said, but she couldn't ignore it completely either.

But judging from the various news coming out of the current cultivation world, if what Ji Huanglian said was true, then I'm afraid that even she was being plotted against.

So why did the senior brother of Qingyun Sect who plotted against her do such a thing?

"I...I really didn't, I just wanted to be with him."

Ji Huanglian's words made An Xinran's face suddenly serious.

"Aren't you making your family members very worried? You..."

An Xinran was stunned. Based on the similarities between herself and Ji Huanglian, she thought of a question.

For their own reasons, their parents and grandfather are searching all over the continent for the treasure that can save them.

So if I compare myself to Ji Huanglian, if I have not returned for a long time, and then the factors of the outside sect are involved, then it is very simple that the trend of driving the tiger to devour the wolf has been formed.

After all, hiring a traitor is not uncommon, and it is often seen when the spoils are not evenly divided.

"Where's your Qiankun bag? Is there any way to contact your uncle or your father?"

An Xinran said.

"It was broken during the fight."

As expected, he wants to rely on the power of the three heroes of the Ji family.

The three heroes of the Ji family are quite famous in the Central Continent. If this is the case, it is normal.

As for what to do, there is no need to know.

Because no one could know the news about Ji Huanglian, if it were normal, she would have died in the monster forest.

"You are also a miserable person."

Because I used to be very envious of those who could practice cultivation, but now it seems that they are nothing more than these kind of petty intrigues.

As for the person who could make such a plan, it was probably only that person, the senior brother of Qingyun Sect, Situ Changkong, who had banned her cultivation in the name of apology and then cleared himself of all charges.

After all, if a disciple has the remnant soul of a Mahayana stage, he would not be so unknown. The only possibility is that the news has been blocked, or is it just a simulation?

Eh?

Ji Huanglian didn’t know why An Xinran said that, but the regretful expression on An Xinran’s face at this moment couldn’t be faked.

Never mind. There was a gap between immortals and mortals anyway, and the final result was that she would forget about Zhao Qian after a few years.

Then let her enjoy it for a while, before everything explodes.

The Ji family is not in a hurry yet, which means that Ji Huanglian still has a period of stability.

The solution to this situation is also very simple, all Ji Huanglian needs to do is show up.

When the time comes, let your father go and send her to the Ji family.

As for the dispute between the Ji family and the Qingyun Sect, Anling City can also get involved to improve the favorability with the Ji family.

Figured this out,

An Xinran let out a breath.

"So why don't you rest well at my house during this time?"

"No, it won't work!" Ji Huanglian said directly: "My soul can only appear for a short while now. If it lasts too long, it will have to go back to sleep in the body."

"so what?"

"The body has become accustomed to living in one place, and..."

Ji Huanglian looked at her.

"I want to go back with him."

……

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Ji Huanglian briefly told An Xinran about her current situation.

Then he demonstrated it again.

As the spiritual consciousness was withdrawn into the body, only a lifeless shell remained.

Ji Huanglian looked at the lifeless body in front of her, looking around for Zhao Qian's figure.

An Xinran felt helpless.

Ji Huanglian has no one to rely on now, and even her family members don’t know she is here.

Ji Huanglian now has one and only one person to rely on.

I want to take away her last support? Isn't it a bit too cruel?

The current situation put An Xinran, who had never made such a decision before, into a difficult choice.

Chapter 22: Scenery in a Dream

After sorting out all of this, An Xinran took Ji Huanglian back to the banquet.

But what was waiting for her was not Zhao Qian’s doubts, but her father with a rosy face.

"My dear daughter, you are back."

Anping came over cheerfully, his cheeks slightly red, needless to say he had drunk some wine.

"You, oh."

An Xinran covered her head helplessly. Her father was good in every way except that he would drink a little when he was happy.

When Ji Huanglian saw that there was nothing to do about her, she stepped past the two of them and went to look for Zhao Qian.

As a result, she saw Zhao Qian, with a red face, lying on the table.

Eh?

Ji Huanglian poked Zhao Qian’s red face, feeling a little curious.

But from the smell of alcohol on his body, you can tell that he was forced to drink a lot.

"What's going on with you?"

An Xinran saw Zhao Qian's current appearance and looked at her father in confusion.

"He took only one sip, just one sip."

Inhale!

An Xinran didn't know what to say about her father.

"He doesn't even have any cultivation, how can he drink with you!"

"It's not a spiritual wine, it's just an ordinary wine with a little bit of spiritual energy." An Ping felt a little aggrieved that he was wrongly accused by his daughter.

After drinking, my slightly sensitive mind was slightly disturbed.

"It seems you still know the truth." An Xinran realized that she had wronged her father: "I'm sorry, father."

Um? ! !

My daughter praised me!

An Ping laughed: "No, no, your father is good at doing things steadily."

"When will mom be back?"

!!!

An Ping's face froze, and his subordinates around him were also shocked when they heard this topic.

An Xinran's mother was one of the top three geniuses hundreds of years ago, if it weren't for the persistence of Anling City Lord and a little bit of thought.

It is not certain whether An Xinran will be born.

However, even after having a child and starting a family, An Xinran's mother's temper did not calm down. Instead, she cared more about her husband.

It is better to say that a small part of An Ping’s current level of cultivation was due to the pressure from An Xinran’s mother.

"Well, your mother should be back soon. I told her everything about you."

Anping's excitement calmed down a little.

His wife and his father traveled all over the mainland for An Xinran, seeking pharmacists and doctors from all over, just to cure their daughter's illness.

But now that their daughter's illness has been cured, it's time for them to come back.

Thinking of his wife whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he felt a little moved.

But if my wife comes back, it means that I will soon be under her control again.
