Chapter 455 shouldn't just be a roundabout way of doing things, right?
After doing all this, she prepared to take her leave and return to her guest house.
Ye An'an wanted to take Jiang Liqian back, but Ying Shuang stopped her, saying that she had something to do, so Jiang Liqian left alone.
However, being a newcomer, even though she tried to remember the way, she still got slightly lost in the winding courtyard.
I was just going to ask someone for directions, but instead someone grabbed my sleeve.
"Beautiful and kind sister, I'm lost. Can you take me back to my senior brothers and sisters?" A very cute little girl looked up at her pitifully, her red eyes clearly showing that she had been crying.
Jiang Liqian's heart softened, and she squatted down to pat her head: "Which courtyard do your senior brothers and sisters live in?"
The little girl, her eyes brimming with tears, turned pale with fear and sadness: "I...I don't know..."
"Sister, am I never going back?"
The little girl was trying hard to hold back her sobs; her eyes were red and swollen, and tears were about to spill from them.
Jiang Liqian could sense the little girl's fear, so she gently patted her back: "Don't be afraid, tell your sister, what sect do you follow?"
The little girl forced back her tears: "I...I am Mo'er from the Xuan Gang Sect."
Xuan Gang Sect? Isn't that the number one body cultivation sect in the cultivation world? The disciples there are even more fierce than the Vajra Sect of Buddhism. Not only are they extremely unrestrained in their actions, but they are also all invulnerable to swords and spears. To break through their protective techniques, ordinary moves are completely ineffective, and ordinary magic weapons are also useless.
I never expected that this cute little girl would practice such a domineering technique. With her current protective abilities, anyone who wants to hurt her would have to think twice about their strength.
However, the Xuan Gang Sect is located in the Eastern Continent, so why did they travel all the way to Ye City in the Central Continent to participate in the Heavenly Spirit Gathering?
Jiang Liqian only knew that the Heavenly Spirit Gathering was a rare and grand event, but she did not expect it to be so grand that even sects from other states would come to participate.
"Mo'er, be good. Your sister will take you to find your senior brothers and sisters." After learning which sect she belonged to, Jiang Liqian asked a servant who was serving tea, and she quickly led them to the courtyard where the Xuan Gang Sect was staying.
The little girl was overjoyed to see her family again and burst into tears, throwing herself into the arms of her senior sister who rushed over to hug her.
A tall, muscular, and powerful man took two steps toward Jiang Liqian and bowed gratefully, saying, "We were going crazy looking for Mo'er and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, you brought her back. Please leave your name, and we will definitely pay you a visit soon to present you with generous gifts."
Jiang Li smiled and bent down to pat the little girl's head again, politely declining, "It was just a small favor, no need for such a generous gift. Besides, the little girl is so cute, no one could bear to ignore her."
"Fellow Daoist, we..."
"No, that's not true." Upon hearing Jiang Liqian's words, the little girl suddenly revealed her tear-reddened face from her senior sister's arms. "Mo'er first met a very gentle older sister on the path, but she said she had an emergency and couldn't help Mo'er. She gave Mo'er this thing and told her to give it to her sister as a gift, and asked her to take me to find my senior brothers and sisters."
The little girl pulled out a delicate and beautiful light gold bracelet from her bosom and handed it to Jiang Liqian.
Jiang Liqian took the bracelet, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She asked the little girl softly, "What else did that lady say to you? How did she know you would meet me? Do I know her?"
The little girl shook her head: "I...I don't know..."
"That girl told Mo'er that the girl in the pink dress would definitely help Mo'er. Mo'er searched for a long time and only found you, the girl in the pink dress."
A pink dress—so, that person watched her move into the Ye family's house?
Since you know each other, why not just come and say hello instead of avoiding each other and having a lost little girl deliver this?
Jiang Liqian remained calm and smiled as she accepted the bracelet from the little girl's hand, then bid farewell to her senior brothers and sisters.
"Wait a minute," Zhao Guiqing took two steps to catch up, "Fellow Daoist, please leave your name. Even if we don't come to thank you in person, we should still remember this favor."
Jiang Liqian couldn't refuse, and further resistance would only make her seem pretentious, so she said, "Tianqian Sect, Jiang Liqian."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After returning to her temporary lodging, she greeted Shui Lian'er and went into her room.
She took out the bracelet and examined it carefully. She found that apart from being a beautiful-looking but actually useless treasure, there was nothing unusual about it.
Just in case, she snapped her fingers, summoning a small burst of electricity that reduced the bracelet to ashes.
-
That night.
A single lamp flickers dimly, while the window is filled with countless stars.
The thin gauze curtains floated and swayed with the breeze outside the window, occasionally brushing against the cheek of the girl who was engrossed in reading at her desk by the window, leaving behind a wisp of smooth coolness.
The girl turned the pages of the book one by one, completely oblivious to the gentle caress of the wind.
The Ye family is a great clan specializing in beast taming. They have comprehensive records of various immortal, demonic, and spiritual beasts, as well as many points to note. They also detail the weaknesses of many demonic beasts, making it well worth reading carefully.
Jiang Liqian had shamelessly begged Ye An'an to take a lot of books from their family's library for Xiao Jintao's sake. Since the process of "taking books" was not exactly aboveboard, she and Ye An'an agreed to return the borrowed books the next day, so she had to read them quickly.
After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators don't usually need to eat or sleep, but for some reason, she felt somewhat tired tonight, and even her five senses seemed dulled.
Just as I was thinking about whether to take a calming pill to boost my spirits, a blurry black shadow suddenly flashed past the window.
Jiang Liqian's eyes sharpened, and she immediately put down the book in her hand, leaped out the window, and chased after him.
The dark figure was incredibly fast, with unpredictable movements, and was hidden in the darkness of the night. For a moment, she was unable to catch up.
After chasing all the way out of the Ye family, Jiang Li narrowed her eyes, finally losing patience. She formed a hand seal, and her figure disappeared like stars behind her. In the blink of an eye, she reappeared in front of the dark figure, blocking his way.
"You lured me out here, surely not just to beat around the bush?"
The dark figure paused, seemingly in disbelief that Jiang Liqian could overtake him so quickly and stop him. But he immediately realized what was happening and turned to dart off in another direction. However, Jiang Liqian had already seen through his plan. As soon as he took a step, a pale purple array plate appeared beneath his feet.
