Chapter 278 Every word counts

The voice was full of sarcasm and came so suddenly that even Lady Xue and Zhuge Yu were slow to realize it.

When they looked in the direction of the voice, they saw a middle-aged Taoist priest standing outside the door. He was holding a whisk, with a long bun down to his chest and a gilded jade crown on his head, which looked like a crane.

Next to this person, the housekeeper looked helpless. He had just tried to stop this person, but it was obviously unsuccessful.

Zhuge Yu frowned and looked up and down at the middle-aged Taoist priest.

Finding that the other party was only at the same level as himself in the late stage of foundation building, he immediately shot out a cold look in his eyes: "Who are you? How dare you speak rudely here? Do you want to die?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest grinned and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhuge, don't be impulsive. I like to find faults, but I don't like to die."

Zhuge Yu's eyes were cold, but he was secretly confused. Looking at the other party, he seemed to know him, but this person looked very unfamiliar. Who is he?

The middle-aged Taoist priest ignored the surprised eyes of others and walked into the hall with big strides.

But at this time, Lady Xue suddenly looked startled. After looking up and down at the Taoist priest, her eyes showed a little strange color.

But after her eyes flickered for a while, she remained silent, as if thinking about something.

"You seem to recognize me, but don't know my long Dharma name? What are you doing here?"

Zhuge Yu half-squinted his eyes, and his eyes were still cold. No matter what the Taoist priest came from, the provocative words just now had already angered him.

The middle-aged Taoist priest looked at him, showing a bit of strangeness, and then looked at Lady Xue again, saying: "As far as I know, the shopkeeper of Tiandeng Building seems to be Fairy Xue. When did it become Fellow Taoist Zhuge who gave orders here?"

Although the words were euphemistic, it was not difficult to hear the ridicule and slap in the face.

"You..." Zhuge Yu's expression froze.

But before he could speak, the next scene made him even more angry.

The Taoist priest walked up to Lady Xue with a whisk in his hand, smiling, and then with a backhand move, a green pill appeared on his palm.

"I have admired Fairy Xue for a long time. I came here from thousands of miles away just to see the beauty of the fairy. Fortunately, God did not let me down and finally let me get my wish. I have no regrets in this life. Unfortunately, I have nothing and I came in a hurry this time. I have no time to prepare a gift for the fairy. Fortunately, I have always been proficient in the theory of gossip and the study of furnaces and tripods. I will present a Shouqing Pill to the fairy. It is a small gift and not a respect. I just hope to contribute a little bit of strength when the fairy is practicing."

As he spoke, he presented the pill to Lady Xue.

"Shouqing Pill... Taoist priest, are you going to give this pill to me?"

Lady Xue covered her pink lips, a little surprised, a little hesitant, a little stunned, and more shocked and unbelievable.

How could she not know what kind of elixir Shouqing Dan was? This elixir was of supreme quality and had the effect of consolidating qi and guarding the heart. When a cultivator reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, he would encounter all kinds of mental troubles, but if he took Shouqing Dan at this time, all the obstacles would be eliminated.

This elixir was particularly precious to any cultivator, and even her huge industry had never seen one.

This Taoist priest offered it easily, how could she not be tempted.

On the other side, Zhuge Yu was stunned for a moment, and then showed an angry look.

He naturally knew the wonderful use of Shouqing Dan, but the Taoist priest took out this elixir at this time, which was obviously intended to target him, not to mention that he had ridiculed him several times just now, and then repeatedly tried to please Lady Xue, which was clearly intended to interfere and embarrass him.

Veins on his forehead throbbed, but he wanted to maintain his demeanor in front of Lady Xue, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Lady, this man is unfamiliar. I'm afraid he's not from a good background. Maybe this pill has something else in it. Don't be fooled by him."

"Hey, Taoist Zhuge, where did you get this from? I've admired Fairy Xue for a long time, and my sincerity is known to all. You are so confident in slandering me. Is this how Qiankun Sword Sect educates its students?"

The middle-aged Taoist was surprised, but his words were sharp and sharp.

Zhuge Yu was furious, but before he could speak, the Taoist said, "On the contrary, this Qingxin Pearl of Taoist Zhuge is said to increase Fairy Xue's cultivation, but it's really embarrassing to have this little bit of spiritual energy. In my opinion, it's useless for Fairy Xue, so just throw it away."

The sharp words made Zhuge Yu speechless.

Lady Xue blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at the "Taoist" in front of her carefully. Some strange feelings arose in her heart. Then she chuckled and accepted the Shouqing Pill happily, saying: "The Taoist is right. Compared with the Taoist's Shouqing Pill, the Qingxin Pearl is indeed insignificant. I like this pill very much. Thank you for your kindness."

"No, no, Fairy Xue is unparalleled in the world. I am just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha." The Taoist said modestly.

Seeing him so eloquent, Lady Xue couldn't help but laugh secretly, thinking that this guy's appearance is really impressive.

Zhuge Yu on the other side saw this scene and was really angry. He was about to say something, but he saw Lady Xue speak.

Lady Xue smiled and said to the Taoist priest: "Although I am just a woman, I know how to repay kindness. I should repay you for giving me such a precious gift. If it is convenient for you, please come with me and have a chat."

"How dare I refuse the invitation of the fairy?" The Taoist priest smiled calmly.

Xue Meiren nodded, and finally turned to look at Zhuge Yu. However, her expression looked cold at this moment, and her tone did not contain a trace of emotion: "Fellow Taoist, I am grateful for the treasure you gave me today. This is just between you and me. After all, we are destined to be together, so I’d better take this Qingxinzhu back. In addition, I will also ask my master to dissolve the engagement between you and me. I hope you will not think about it again in the future.”

After saying that, he walked out of the hall, his figure gradually moving away.

The middle-aged Taoist priest's expression did not change, and he followed leisurely while waving his fly whisk.

The hall quickly became quiet, but not long after, there were suddenly several strange "crunching" and "crunching" sounds. Zhuge Yu stood still and did not leave for a long time.

He clenched his fists, veins were exposed on his forehead, and his eyes were sinister and ferocious, like a ferocious beast about to explode.

"Bitch... one day, I want you to be willing to fall at my feet!"

Zhuge Yu squeezed out a low voice from between his teeth, and the Qingxin Pearl in his hand was pinched until it became dull.

This thing was originally precious, but now it seems so ironic!

He stared at the place where the two left with a deep look, murderous intent boiling in his heart.

Just now, Xue Meiren clearly had the intention to accept, but she didn't know how a Taoist priest with a strong nose came out of nowhere. With Zhuge Yu's proud nature, how could he endure such humiliation.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly sneered, rolled up his sleeves and left.

The two people who left the front hall naturally didn't know that Zhuge Yu was on the verge of an explosion and was plotting to deal with them.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting in an elegant attic, surrounded by delicate fragrance, comfortable and comfortable.

Xue Meiren chuckled, dismissed all the servants, and poured tea for the middle-aged Taoist priest herself.

The Taoist priest was not polite. After taking a sip of the tea, he praised it as "good tea" and began to taste it leisurely.

Then, he scanned the surroundings and said carelessly: "I have heard that Fairy's Tianzhong Building is a famous trading place in Xuankong City. Now I take a look and it is indeed a special place. It is an eye-opener for me."

But after saying this, he found that Mei Xue was looking directly at him, with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, with a hint of meaning.

The Taoist priest suddenly guessed something, his eyes flashed and then showed a calm expression.

Their eyes met, and the two of them seemed to have their own secrets in their hearts. Soon after, a whisper came from the silent attic: "I haven't seen you for many days. I wonder how Daoyou Ye is doing lately?"

The "Taoist" raised his eyebrows, and there seemed to be surprise in his eyes, but it only passed for a moment, and he asked curiously: "Fellow Taoist Ye? I am a poor Taoist with the name of Sufeng. I wonder who the fairy called?"

Xue Meiren chuckled, and her laughter was bone-chilling: "Now that things have happened, Fellow Daoist Ye no longer has to be so estranged from the little girl, right?

When the "Taoist" heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt even more chilled in shock.

However, Xue Meiren was unusually calm. She looked directly at him and said, "Fellow Taoist, you don't need to be so vigilant. Since the little lady has invited fellow Taoist here alone, she will not betray you."

"How did you recognize me?"

Ye Chunyang frowned deeply. Now that the other party had seen through it, he simply stopped hiding it. However, he never let down his guard. Although this woman had a bold temperament, she had quite a background, and he did not dare to believe her rashly.

Xue Meiren smiled but did not answer.

Her wonderful eyes gently incited her, and after a moment she pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "In total, you and I have known each other for several years. The little girl will always remember the love that the Taoist friends from the northwest gave Zhuyan Dan to each other. Although the little girl She is a female, but she has already decided in her heart that Taoist friend is a person worthy of close friendship, so she should understand the principle of repaying kindness. "

Ye Chunyang was shocked again.

Unexpectedly, Xue Meiren had already recognized him.

Seeing the hostility in his eyes, Xue Mei was secretly surprised.

The other party's vigilance was far beyond her expectation. She quickly explained: "Fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand me. The reason why the little girl can recognize you is because I have a special constitution since I was a child and am extremely sensitive to smells. Everyone Everyone is born with a scent that is unique to him. Even if he has some skills to restrain himself, the instinctive scent cannot be hidden. However, this scent is difficult for ordinary people to detect, and only a little girl can feel it. "

Ye Chunyang's expression changed slightly. Most people use their spiritual sense to detect, but she can identify others based on their smell. It is rare for her to have such a physique.

He took a deep breath and felt unbelievable: "So, when I came to Tianzhong Tower to sell the thousand-year elixir, you already recognized my identity?"

"That's not the case. The little girl didn't notice it at first, but later she got along and found that the smell on Taoist friend's body was familiar. She could confirm it after careful inspection."

At this point, Xue Meiren covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, with a hint of arrogance flashing in her eyes, "Otherwise, how could this little girl recommend fellow Taoists to participate in the exchange and secret meeting of Jinlong Sanren?"

"Yes, because of that secret meeting, Ye has now become the target of public criticism."

Ye Chunyang smiled bitterly.

Xue Meiren is mysterious in every aspect. It seems that this woman's background is far beyond what he can imagine. Although he was hunted down by Wutian Clan and Qiankun Sword Sect after that secret meeting, the harvest was not small, and the pros and cons were balanced. No wonder other side.

Xue Meiren frowned and said: "When I first introduced Taoist friends to the secret meeting, the little girl just wanted to help the Taoist friends find the essence of black iron. She had no ill intentions. Speaking of which, the little girl was also extremely puzzled as to why the Taoist friends didn't do anything after participating in the secret meeting. Are you being hunted by the Qiankun Sword Sect? Could it be that Zhuge Yu is trying to make things difficult for you? If that’s the case, I won’t be able to spare him.”
