Chapter 21.
Chapter 21 Staying Over
The corner of Miss Shang’s eye twitched, closing the book to greet the duo, her voice cold, “Thank you for bringing Little Green back, my name is Shang Yuan.”
The parrot saw Shang Yuan as if it had seen a savior, fluttering its wings to escape Lu Yang, who let go and let the parrot fly around the house.
“Be careful next time, fortunately this parrot has been flying in circles in Taiping Township, otherwise it would fly elsewhere, then it would be really impossible to find it.” Lu Yang reminded with a smile.
Shang Yuan looked at the two men in refined attire, and at a glance, he knew that they were young warriors who had been drifting in the jianghu for a long time, practicing chivalry.
Lu Yang and Tao Yao Ye’s attire was the recommended attire for the Questioning Sect’s Mission Hall, and dressed like this, they could pass themselves off as the kind of young warriors who had been floating around the rivers and lakes for a long time, practicing chivalry.
Shang Yuan’s attitude was a bit distant, I don’t know if it was due to his personality or something else: “Little Green is also back, you two go back.”
Tao Yao Ye’s moth eyebrow was slightly wrinkled, disliking the attitude of this great lady.
Lu Yang as if he did not hear the words to drive people, said with a smile, “Chatting about it, the Shang family quite welcome us, may also stay with the two of us for the night.”
Shang Yuan coldly laughed repeatedly, “The Shang family welcomes you does not mean that I welcome you, you quickly go, it is best to leave Taiping Township.”
“There are no demons or ghosts in Taiping Township, why should I leave. You also haven’t left the Shang Family for a long time, don’t you want to hear us talk about the outside world?” Lu Yang said.
Shang Yuan froze, not expecting Lu Yang to say that, and eased his tone a bit, “Where are you two from? I haven’t left home for almost a month, can I tell you about what I’ve seen in the Jianghu?”
“We come from one of the five great immortal sects, the Questioning Sect, all of us are at the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation, we came to Taiping Township this time because we heard that there are demonic birds disturbing people ……”
Lu Yang spoke without hesitation, his voice was gentle and he was a very good speaker.
When Shang Yuan heard that the two were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, a hint of joy flashed under his eyes.
The three of them chatted for a while, Shang Yuan was attracted by Lu Yang’s description of the life of a cultivator who was a recluse, and also wanted to go out and see this vast world.
“I want to cultivate Immortality, but my father doesn’t agree, he said that cultivating Immortality is too dangerous, if he wasn’t lucky in exploring the ancient tombs, he would have died long ago in the ancient tombs.”
“I’ve asked him several times about the passage, he’s not willing to tell me.” Shang Yuan said indignantly, she preferred to listen to strange stories, her own father obviously had personal experience, but he was not willing to tell her.
Lu Yang sighed with emotion in his heart, it seemed that the Shang family head was also a person with a story.
“What is the cultivation level of the Shang Family Lord?”
Shang Yuan seemed to think of his own father’s smug face and rolled his eyes, “Listening to his own bragging, he used to be at the ninth level of Qi Practicing, then he encountered a great disaster and luckily survived, his cultivation dropped by the bucket loads, and he is either at the fourth level of Qi Practicing or the fifth level of Qi Practicing.”
Tao Yao Ye said, “It’s also okay, there are not many cultivators in Taiping Township, the strongest Xiang Zheng is only at the seventh level of Qi Practicing, the fourth and fifth level of Qi Practicing can live a good life, not to mention that the Shang Family Lord still has some substance.”
Shang Yuan sighed, “But I don’t want to be confined to Qu River County, I want to walk the rivers and lakes, to see this magnificent and strange world, you and I are of similar age, you are already a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, while I have not yet practiced Qi.”
Tao Yao Ye was about to persuade something when he heard Zhang Butler knocking on the door, “Miss, it’s time for dinner. There are also two young warriors, the master specially instructed, saying that it’s getting late, letting the two of you finish your meal and stay overnight before leaving.”
“Master and Madam and Huang Xiangzheng are already waiting for all of you.”
“Alright, this is going.” Lu Yang responded.
Tao Yao Ye originally wanted to reject, but was blocked by Lu Yang: “Look, I have already said that the Shang family is enthusiastic and will stay with us for the night, so why don’t we appreciate their kindness?”
……
On the dining table, the Shang family head was sitting in the front seat, chatting with Huang Xiang, and everyone else was eating to their heart’s content, even though it was not as good as the Questioning Sect’s food, it was still quite delicious.
Zhang Butler and the maids stood respectfully at the side, waiting on the left and right.
A meal, Huang Xiangzheng went home, Lu Yang and Tao Yao Ye stayed overnight, living in the east room, two people only a wall apart.
Momoyao Ye is not very want to sleep here, she is a very picky bed person, except for the Ask Sect cave residence of that bed she lay down as soon as she can, other places to sleep have to lie down for a long time to fall asleep.
Tao Yao Ye knew that this wasn’t a good habit, it was common for Immortal Cultivators to wind up sleeping in the open, she tried to change, but so far she hadn’t succeeded. “Senior Lu is rather able to fall asleep anywhere.”
Tao Yao Ye muttered to herself, not knowing why, and laughed in a low voice, then yawned.
“Today is an early night, it seems like I can have a good night’s sleep ……”
Tao Yao Ye reacted violently, “Not right! Someone poisoned it!”
She turned around and was about to pick up the Thousand Illusion Umbrella to prop up the barrier, only to find that the spiritual energy in her body was running raw and difficult to mobilize.
She was shocked in her heart, surprisingly, someone had poisoned her without a sound, who was it?
This was a poison targeting cultivators. The other party knew that she was a cultivator and still dared to act, she must be a cultivator as well.
There were only a few people in the Shang family, and other than the Shang family’s head, she didn’t perceive who was still a cultivator.
Was it the Shang family head?
Or was there a cultivator whose cultivation was higher than hers that she couldn’t detect?
What was it like on Brother Lu’s side?
A series of questions instantly turned over in Tao Yao Ye’s mind, and before she could think about it, light footsteps came from outside the house.
The door to the room pushed open, and Butler Zhang took a four square step with an excited and cruel smile on his face.
“It’s you!” Tao Yao Ye’s eyes widened, not expecting it to be Butler Zhang, and her heart sank.
Not being able to tell that Butler Zhang was a cultivator meant that Butler Zhang’s cultivation was even higher than hers.
Butler Zhang was holding a flaying knife in his hand, at a distance of five paces Tao Yao Ye could feel a thick resentment from it, she didn’t know how many people had died on this knife, the resentment was overwhelming.
The moonlight shone brightly on the blade of the knife, a snowy brightness.
Butler Zhang licked his lips as he looked at the fruitlessly struggling Tao Yao Ye, like he was looking at a ferocious but prey that had fallen into a trap.
“What a nice skin, I’ve never seen such snow white, with such nice lines in my life.”
“I know you’re from the Questioning Sect, killing you would be troublesome, the power of the Questioning Sect covers the sky, how would a small person like me dare to mess with the Questioning Sect?”
Butler Zhang said, saliva flowed out from the corner of his mouth, while wiping it off, “But your skin is just too beautiful, so that I can’t help but take the risk, and you voluntarily stayed at the Shang family for dinner, such a good opportunity to poison me I don’t grasp it, that would be too unintelligent.”
The dinner was poisoned!
Seeing Tao Yao Ye still struggling, Housekeeper Zhang thoughtfully advised, “Don’t struggle, even if you weren’t poisoned, you’re still no match for me. You’ve only just stepped into the Foundation Establishment Stage, while I’m in the late Foundation Establishment Stage.”
Even though he said this, Housekeeper Zhang did not let his guard down, the Foundation Establishment Stage of the Questioning Sect should never be treated as an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage!
Butler Zhang said this only because he didn’t want Tao Yao Ye to resist.
The more one resisted, the tighter the skin and flesh were connected, the harder it would be to peel the skin, this was the rule of thumb.
“Relax, it’s just a matter of a little pain, soon you won’t be afraid anymore.”
Housekeeper Zhang licked the skinning knife a bit and moved closer to Tao Yao Ye.
Suddenly, Tao Yao Ye rose violently, her whole body’s spiritual energy flowing freely, holding the Thousand Illusion Umbrella, and ruthlessly smashing it on the chapter housekeeper’s face.
Butler Zhang was in a position of victory and was hit with a mistake.
“How could you not be poisoned?!”
