Chapter 268 The Untamed 20
Chapter 268 The Untamed 20
The children who just returned home are the treasures of the whole family, but if they stay at home for a long time, the situation will be different. Yu Ziyuan only cherished the children for three short days. During this period, she also received a message from the Jin family to discuss the marriage of Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan. However, on the fourth day, she still couldn't help but use the whip on the unfortunate children again.
"You bastards, get down here!"
Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying quickly jumped on the roof to dodge, and took the time to reply: "Mother, do you think I'm stupid or crazy? Who would not dodge and go just to get hit?!"
Wei Ying also shouted, “Master’s Wife, you really don’t look old at all. Look at your vigorous figure. If Madam Jin says you are old again, I will have a good argument with her!”
Yu Ziyuan was furious. She had just been pretending to be close to and play with the two children, but the two little brats couldn't talk and every word they said hurt her heart. She had to teach these two little brats a lesson and let them know what an elder is!
"How brave!"
Jiang Fengmian wanted to block the way, but saw Yu Ziyuan directly summon the purple lightning on Jiang Yanli’s wrist.
Although Zi Dian is usually in the shape of a bracelet, it is actually a whip specially used to attack the soul. In terms of grade, it is a top-grade immortal weapon. When stimulated by spiritual power, it can extend as long as desired.
As the master of Purple Lightning, Yu Ziyuan had the ability to control Purple Lightning as if it were an arm, and she was very proficient in talismans and arrays. When she leaped up and wielded Purple Lightning, she also cast two immobilization spells, which frightened Wei Ying so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and begged for mercy repeatedly.
After all, Jiang Xinxin is a real Jindan cultivator. Even if her combat awareness is not as good as Yu Ziyuan's, the several times gap in cultivation cannot be made up by experience. So Jiang Xinxin leisurely dodged the purple lightning and the talisman. She even had enough energy to block the place where the purple lightning's attack missed, and the talisman was also easily dispersed by her.
But she had to give Yu Ziyuan some face and could not defeat her just like that, so she and Wei Ying, one pretending to be in a mess while the other was really in a mess and kept dodging Yu Ziyuan's attacks, making the disciples below laugh at them.
After Yu Ziyuan had been chasing for almost half an hour, Jiang Fengmian finally pulled Yu Ziyuan over and advised, "Okay, Madam, you see these two guys have been out for half a year, and their cultivation has indeed improved a lot. They will go out again in two days, Madam, please be magnanimous and spare them this time."
Yu Ziyuan was very happy to give face to Jiang Fengmian, and she also knew that the matter should end here, so she smiled and watched Jiang Fengmian scold Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying, and then punished them to kneel in the ancestral hall for two hours. Then the matter was completely over.
It's just that the timing of kneeling in the ancestral hall was unfortunate, as they just missed the lunch time. Jiang Yanli and Jiang Erya skillfully took the food specially left for Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying from the kitchen and went to the ancestral hall chatting and laughing. They met Yu Ziyuan on the way, but no one mentioned the food boxes in their hands. Instead, Yu Ziyuan felt that Jiang Yanli's cooking skills were getting better and better, and she rarely disliked Jin Zixuan in her heart.
After staying at home for only seven or eight days, Jiang Xinxin decided to go out to look for the Yin Iron. However, when he was about to leave, he was interrupted by Jin who came to discuss the wedding date. He could only stay at home for another seven or eight days. He watched as the elders finally agreed on the wedding date in April of the following year. Only then did he meet Lan Zhan who came to find him, and he could finally go out.
As a bride with a scheduled wedding date, Jiang Yanli has many things to decide personally, so it is not easy for her to go out and do such dangerous things. As a girl, Jiang Erya feels that it is more important to accompany Jiang Yanli and help her, so she also stays at home. Therefore, when she goes out, only Wei Ying accompanies Jiang Xinxin.
Of course, Jiang Xinxin didn’t think there was anything wrong with having Wei Ying accompany her.
Lan Zhan had been wandering in Yunmeng for a few days. He had eaten the freshly picked lotus pods that Wei Ying had told him about, as well as the rabbits and pheasants on the mountains around Yunmeng. However, he had never appeared around the Lotus Pier. He just looked at the Lotus Pier from afar.
Jiang Xinxin couldn't understand Lan Zhan, and even kept her distance from him because he was Wei Ying's girlfriend. So no matter what Lan Zhan did, as long as it didn't threaten the Lotus Pier and was not harmful to Wei Ying, she would pretend not to see it.
In the area around Yunmeng, the Jiang family's sphere of influence is such that, except for the Qishan Wen family causing trouble, the common people will hardly encounter any monsters or demons. In the past few years, there were zombies or evil spirits causing trouble, but after the Supervisory Office was in place, the Jiang family's children were always able to solve the people's problems in the first time. Therefore, as long as Jiang Xinxin is still within the sphere of influence of the Yunmeng Jiang family, she will not encounter any danger.
But as they stepped out of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan's sphere of influence, the number of zombies, evil spirits, and little monsters visible to the naked eye increased. Not only Jiang Xinxin, but also Wei Ying and Lan Zhan felt increasingly heavy-hearted.
Wei Ying is a person with empathy. Whenever he sees ordinary people being disturbed by non-human power, he is always very worried.
"When will this world be clear and ordinary people can have peace?"
Tian Dao was about to die. Jiang Xinxin sighed secretly and comforted Wei Ying, "As long as we gather the Yin Iron and return it to the underworld, the pure air will rise and the turbid air will fall. The world will naturally become clear, and both ordinary people and cultivators will have peace."
Lan Zhan also spoke up to comfort Wei Ying, saying, "Wei Ying, you said it before, helping the weak and punishing the strong, and you have nothing to be ashamed of."
But Jiang Xinxin saw a more serious problem in Wei Ying. He could easily empathize with other people, which was not a completely good thing. He was still young and his mind was not firm enough, so he was more easily disturbed by external things. Therefore, after practicing the ghost way, Wei Ying was more likely to go astray.
Jiang Xinxin said worriedly, "Ah Xian, don't you think you are too easily shaken by the outside world?"
Wei Ying was touched when he saw Jiang Xinxin frowning and worrying about him. But he thought she was making a big deal out of nothing. He smiled and said to Jiang Xinxin, "Acheng, you think too much. I am indeed troubled by the hardships of people's lives, but if you say that I am easily shaken by external things, then you are making a big deal out of nothing."
Lan Zhan saw that Wei Ying's mood had improved again, and he also supported Wei Ying's point of view. He rarely said to Jiang Xinxin: "Master Jiang is indeed too worried about Wei Ying. Master Jiang should understand his temper. It always comes in fits and starts."
Jiang Xinxin rolled her eyes secretly and didn't want to talk to these two people anymore.
However, when passing by Liyang City, Wei Ying heard from a restaurant that the Chang family of Liyang had been wiped out.
"...Not a single one of the eighty-one members of the Chang family survived, and their bodies were not intact. It really looked like they were being pursued by someone with malicious intent."
Even though Wei Ying had wandered for a while in his early years because of the death of his parents, his biggest problem at that time was just not having enough to eat. Later in the Lotus Pier, he lived the same life as Jiang Xinxin, Master Jiang. Even when he went out hunting at night, he only killed monsters. It was the first time he saw so many people from the Chang family die, and not even a single one of their spirits or souls remained. He felt disgusted outside before he had the nerve to reunite with Jiang Xinxin and Lan Zhan.
