    Xu Qi’an smiled, not at all intimidated, and sat down at the table, pouring himself a glass of water as he drank:

    “I cannot stop General Li from doing what he wants to do. However, it just so happens that I also have a lot of things that I haven’t shared with them. For example, the bits and pieces of Yunzhou, such as ……. General Li said that he is a genius at solving crimes. Of course, there are more.”

    Come on, hurt each other, who’s afraid!

    ….. Li Miaozhen braced herself not to show her expression, endured the feeling of shame within her heart, and coldly said, “I don’t mind a lesson before the battle of the celestials.”

    With a small hand slapping the desktop, the flying sword on his back was sheathed, circling around in a half arc in mid-air and poking at Xu Qi’an’s butt.

    Suu had a gloating look on her face.

    Li Miaozhen scrutinized Daoist Master Jinlian with her afterglow, thinking that he would inevitably stop himself, however, what she saw was Daoist Master Jinlian stroking his beard and smiling, with no intention of stopping him.

    Hmph, it seems that the Taoist head also thinks that this guy is hateful and wants me to teach him a lesson ……… The thought flashed, and Li Miaozhen saw that the kid did not return his head and reached out to grab the flying sword.

    Xu Qi’an’s palm was quickly tinted with a layer of richly colored golden light, “Ding,” the sharp sound of gold and stone colliding came from his palm.

    Li Miaochen stood up with a huff, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief as she stared at Xu Qi’an’s arm and said in an awe-inspiring voice:

    “Buddhist golden body?”

    Xu Qi’an grinned, “That’s right, the Vajra Divine Power that I won during the fight, General Li, your flying sword is a bit soft, put more force into it.”

    The Buddha s golden body won by the fight ……… Li Miaozhen was stunned, and the court s notice could not write the relevant content.

    “Master, he’s looking down on you.” Su Su immediately arched his fire.

    The worry just now was from the heart, but the arching fire now was also genuine.

    “Was just about to receive a lesson in Daoist flying swords.” Xu Qi’an raised his eyebrows.

    “Good.”

    Li Miaozhen then no longer stayed her hand, maneuvering the flying sword in an attempt to break free from Xu Qi’an’s bondage, “Buzz buzz ……..” The flying sword kept on trembling, but it was unable to break away from the palm of her hand.

    The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect revealed a solemn expression, pinching her knuckles with one hand, and the flying sword changed its retreat to advance, advancing a little bit.

    Xu Qi’an’s chewing muscles bulged on the side of his face, and the veins on his forehead and palms stood out as if he were wrenching against someone.

    The palms of his hands rubbed against the flying swords with a toothsome sound.

    Silent wrestling maintained for a few seconds, only to hear a “boom”, the roof was violently lifted off the air, broken beams and tiles “clattering” down, doors and windows were also blown up in an instant.

    Su Su was worthy of being a twenty year old ghost, holding up the Yin Qi barrier, barely blocking the rush of Qi.

    “On Point, On Point ……..”

    Taoist Master Jinlian shouted in pain to stop.

    Xu Qi’an and Li Miaozhen glanced at each other, one retracting his sword and the other his hand.

    In just a few months, his cultivation was refined to such a realm ……… Li Miaozhen looked at Xu Qi an in a rather complicated way, and when they met in Yunzhou, he was an eighth grade martial artist who had impacted the God Refining Realm.

    In the opinion of Li Miaozhen, who was at the fifth rank at the time, such a cultivation level was not bad. Who would have thought that two or three months later, he had actually become powerful to such an extent.

    Knowing that her own cultivation refinement wasn’t slow, she was now a Daoist Fourth Grade YuanYing, it wasn’t what it used to be.

    But now, Li Miaozhen had a feeling of powerlessness that her talent was nothing more than that.

    “Ahem!”

    Daoist Master Golden Lotus coughed and laughed, “You attacked his physical body with a flying sword, you are attacking his strength with your own shortness. A small sparring match, no need to take it seriously.”

    Li Miaochen is a fourth grade expert, the means of the Heavenly Sect has not yet been exerted, the flying sword art to cut the sixth grade copper skin and iron bones is not a problem, but against the Buddhist vajra, it is a little powerless.

    Why is this kid’s Vajra Divine Skill refining so rapidly …….. Daoist Master Golden Lotus glanced at Xu Qi’an, doubts flashing through his heart.

    “In a real fight, I’m no match for you, but you’ll have to expend some effort to break through my Vajra Undefeated.” Xu Qi’an said modestly, before adding in his heart:

    In seven days at most, after I absorb the essence blood of Monk Shenshu, I’ll be able to raise my Vajra Divine Skill to the Minor Achievement Realm.

    The real effect of the essence blood that Monk Shenshu had bequeathed to him was to enhance the cultivation speed of the Vajra Divine Skill. This was because Shenshu himself was a great achiever of the Vajra Divine Skill.

    His essence blood perfectly fit the Vajra Divine Skill, and Xu Qi’an could raise the realm of the Vajra Divine Skill by absorbing the essence blood when he practiced this skill.

    Li Miaozhen let out a “humph” and looked away.

    After the sword was released, the anger she had been holding in her heart partially dissipated, and she did not feel as uncomfortable as she did just now. At the same time, Xu Qi’an’s “threat” caused her to hesitate.

    If Xu Qi An’s identity is announced, her words and actions in Yunzhou in the first place will also be published within the Heaven and Earth Association …….. This kind of damage to others and herself was not in line with the style of her Heavenly Sect Holy Maiden.

    She sort of understood the reason why Xu Qi’an insisted on hiding her identity.

    He had bragged a hundred times more than she had, and if this were to be published, he would not be able to be a human being.

    “If Miaochen doesn’t want to stay at an inn, she can borrow a room at Xu Qi’an’s mansion, and number five is there as well. The Xu Mansion is in the inner city, it’s a three-entry mansion, extremely grand.” Daoist Master Golden Lotus said.

    You again? When did my house become the Tiandi Association’s orphanage …….. The corner of Xu Qi’an’s mouth twitched.

    Su Su’s eyes lit up, compared to staying at an inn, of course it was more comfortable to live in the compound. Moreover, she also wanted to take advantage of the night to hook up with this man, so that he could take herself to the Sitian Supervisor.

    Li Miaozhen, on the other hand, thought of the headless body, she was troubled by the limited ability to solve the case, and if she handed it over to the Yamen, her crisis of confidence in the court made her resist from the bottom of her heart.

    I’m afraid the cadavers won’t take it seriously.

    It was just the right time to leave this matter to Xu Qi’an and learn some useful crime solving techniques from his side.

    Thus, Li Miaozhen nodded and said, “Good, I also want to meet Number Five, she must have suffered a lot of hardships this way north, traveling thousands of miles.”

    I always feel that Daoist Master Jinlian still has something to say to me ………. Xu Qi’an was keenly aware of Daoist Master Jinlian’s frequent scrutiny of his eyes, and he did not move on the surface, even wearing a smile:

    “General Li, follow me back to the house?”

    Daoist Master Golden Lotus watched the two men and one ghost leave and mused, “I will leave the capital when the Heavenly Man Struggle is over, before that, I have to find a way to stir up this fight.”

    ……………

    “Myojin ……..”

    On horseback, Xu Qi’an had just opened his mouth when he was corrected by Li Miaozhen, and the Heavenly Sect Saintess grunted, “You’d better call me General Li.”

    “How unfamiliar that would be, we’re all so familiar with each other.” Xu Qi’an had a thick skin and smiled, “Regarding the Celestials’ Contest, I have a doubt.”

    Li Miaozhen gazed ahead and followed the filly without a hitch, ignoring his question.

    She still has fire in her heart and doesn t want to pay attention to me ……… Xu Qi an s thoughts turned and said in an offhand tone:

    “I don’t think we’ve talked about what happened that day in Xiangcheng when we were looking for Five.”

    Upon hearing this, Li Miaozhen looked sideways and gritted her teeth, “The Taoist Master has been shielding me from the fragments of the Earth Book, I should have thought of it, he was trying to cover up the news of your resurrection.”

    Li Miaozhen still holds a grudge over the fact that Taoist Master Jinlian helped Xu Qi’an “cheat” her.

    “None of this is important, what is important is that the tomb we found, which is unimaginably old, is the great tomb of a Dao Sect predecessor. And most likely a Daoist from the Human Sect.” Xu Qi’an threw out the bait.

    “Human clan?”

    Li Miaozhen looked at him, her eyes filled with curiosity.

    “Yes, it’s the usurper who usurped the throne and ascended to the throne, Daoist Human Sect.” The smile on Xu Qi’an’s face grew stronger.

    Immediately, he told Li Miaochen about his experience in the Great Tomb in its original form, just like telling a story, and the sky was the limit. This did not include the question and answer between Monk Shenshu and the dried corpse.

    Li Miaozhen listened with great interest, no longer high and cold posture, quite enthusiastic to discuss with him.

    “This reminds me of something my master said before, he said that of the three sects of “Heaven, Earth, and Humans”, the Human Sect is the most foolish. Because they take the initiative to rely on the earth’s qi. The Earth Sect comes second, practicing merit and virtue to brew good fortune, but in this world, there are causes and effects, so it’s not like the three words “doing good deeds” can explain everything. That’s why people from the Earth Sect, when they are in the second grade, tend to be entangled in karma and easily fall into the Devil’s Path.”

    The Earth Sect’s Dao Head is an example ……. Why is the human sect that actively relies on earthly qi luck the most stupid? The earthly qi can’t be touched or what ……… hiss, so that human sect’s predecessor, in the end, faded into his old body? Xu Qi An nodded his head:

    “Where’s the Heavenly Clan?”

    “The Heavenly Sect naturally follows the Great Dao, Tai Shang Oblivion, the unity of heaven and man, this is the Heavenly Dao.” Li Miaozhen raised her pointed chin.

    “The Celestial Sect emphasizes on the Supreme Forgetfulness, and the highest realm is the unity of heaven and man. According to this philosophy, shouldn’t one be indifferent and cold to all things. Why are you so obsessed with the battle between heaven and man, so obsessed with the Taoist lineage?”

    Xu Qi’an obediently asked about the doubts he had just had.

    Li Miaozhen looked at him with some surprise, “It’s rare that you can think of this.”

    After a pause, she shook her head and said, “I don’t know, as you said, being so obsessed with fighting is really not in line with the philosophy of the Heavenly Sect. But the Sect has its reasons, and I have asked about them but received no answer.”

    That is to say, the dispute between the celestials is ostensibly a dispute between the philosophy and the Taoist lineage, but in fact there is a deeper reason behind it. And this reason, as the holy daughter of the Heavenly Sect, she also does not know ……… that the water of the Dao Sect is very deep ah.

    Half an hour later, they arrived at the Xu Mansion.

    Su Su followed behind Xu Qi An, looking left and right, very satisfied with the layout and arrangement of Xu Mansion: “Not bad, living in such a big mansion in the capital, did you embezzle a lot of silver?”

    “Right, so as long as you follow me, you’ll definitely be well-fed in the future.” Xu Qi’an casually teased.

    Traveling to the inner courtyard, they saw Lina sitting on the threshold with Xu Lingyin, a plate of horseshoe cake on each of their knees.

    Lina said angrily, “Tie up the horse, ah, you can’t eat pastries without tying up the horse.”

    Little DouDing replied, “I’m tired, I’ll give you half of the horseshoe cake, so I’ll do half of the horse stance today, okay.”

    Lena: “Yeah, yeah, yeah.”

    “Cauldron!”

    Little DouDing saw Xu QiAn come back and cried out in surprise, striding his little short legs, a vicious dragon charged and crashed into Xu QiAn’s arms.

    “She’s number five?” Li Miaozhen scrutinized Lina.

    A very pretty young girl, with shaggy black hair with a slight curl at the end, healthy wheat-colored skin, and eyes like the blue sea, clear and clean.

    Lina also noticed Li Miaozhen, but didn’t say anything and looked at her silently.

    Xu Qi’an beckoned, saying, “Lina, she is number two, Heavenly Sect Holy Maiden Li Miaozhen.”

    As soon as Lina heard this, her face lifted into an enthusiastic smile and she bounced over, carrying a horseshoe cake.

    “Yikes, you’re number two …….. Eating horseshoe cake.”

    Sure enough not too smart look …….. Li Miaozhen shook her head and asked, “It’s a long way from the southern border to the capital, so you haven’t suffered much.”

    “Uh-huh.”

    Lina nodded her head vigorously and spoke of her grueling journey to the north, of being cheated out of silver, of being tricked into doing hard labor, and of giving people work at their beck and call for a meal.

    She was also coveted by the coveted her beauty of the jianghu people with the underhanded smoke sneak attack, but the good thing is that she is a compulsion clan, the extreme abyss have been there, idle poison can not work on her.

    She thinks the easiest and most enjoyable occupation is beggar, do nothing, carry a broken bowl in the street a sit, there are kind people reward copper.

    After hearing this, Li Miaozhen was speechless for a long time.

    “You’re so beautiful, sis.”

    Little DouDing walked over to Su Su’s side, tilting his little face up and looking at her enviously.

    Su Su felt that this child was dull and funny looking, so she made a grimace and showed her teeth, “I am a ghost ……..”

    Stunned, the little beanstalker stared at her blankly, then suddenly, with a grunt, swallowed.

    Susu: “????”

    Li Miaozhen’s heart was filled with sympathy and pity, soothing Lina for a few moments, she turned her head to look at Xu Qi’an: ”On my way to the capital, I found a corpse who seemed to have been silenced.

    “I summoned the remnants of my soul to inquire and found something big.”

    Big deal?

    Xu Qi’an frowned and said, “Go to the study and talk.”

    Immediately carrying Li Miaochen toward the study, Su Su holding a red umbrella, followed behind the two, after walking a distance, she turned back to look.

    The little peahen was still looking at her, with those eyes, full of longing and aggression.
