MTL - Do You Know How to Capture a Villain?-Chapter 28 28%
Ji Qingzhuo just followed Shen Rongyu with a sullen head. He was tall, and hiding behind him could keep him away from the people coming and going on the street.
However, not long after Shen Rongyu left, she stopped.
He finally understood that as long as he didn't take the initiative to speak, Ji Qingzhuo could just follow him for a whole day.
"Where do you want to go?" He turned around and asked Ji Qingzhuo.
It was morning, and the bright sunlight reflected a beautiful curve on his side face. Ji Qingzhuo didn't dare to look into his eyes, but only stared at the tip of his beautiful nose.
She thought for a while and said, "I want to go to the spirit beast."
"Didn't you just buy one?" Shen Rongyu glanced at the little Xuanshuang beast in her arms, the little guy was frightened by him, and kept crawling into Ji Qingzhuo's arms.
"Okay..." Ji Qingzhuo's tone was a little disappointed, "Then go eat something?"
Maybe it's because the food here is imbued with aura. Ji Qingzhuo thinks that the food in the world of cultivating immortals is very delicious. She ate at Qiao Shu's every day in Xuanyunzong. Although she didn't get tired of the few dishes, But she also wanted to try something new.
"En." Shen Rongyu replied, he finally had a direction now.
However, he forgot one thing, that is, he had no idea where food was being sold in this huge market. The streets and alleys intersected with each other. This market was far more complicated than he imagined.
Shen Rongyu was very calm. He still led Ji Qingzhuo and walked forward with firm steps. He looked like a professional guide or an acquaintance somewhere.
Ji Qingzhuo looked at his confident back, stroked the head of the Xuanshuang Beast in his arms, and thought to himself, Shen Rongyu is still Shen Rongyu, and he can do nothing wrong.
She followed Shen Rongyu for a long time, and gradually felt that something was wrong, because she had passed this road for the third time, and she hadn't found any places like the legendary snack street that sold food.
"Senior brother Xiaoyu." Ji Qingzhuo decided to remind him, because she didn't eat in the morning and was a little hungry, "We have walked this road three times."
Shen Rongyu who didn't know the way: "?"
He never cared about these things, he had never been to any market, but he didn't want to expose this fact in front of Ji Qingzhuo.
Shen Rongyu suddenly raised his eyes, saw the various clothes displayed in the roadside store, and raised his jaw to Ji Qingzhuo: "It's been three times, don't you want to go in and have a look?"
Ji Qingzhuo looked down at her black dress, then at the gorgeous dresses in the store, she shook her head: "I don't want it."
"Don't like it?" Shen Rongyu asked her, apart from sleeping, he didn't know what Ji Qingzhuo liked.
Ji Qingzhuo hugged the little Xuanshuang Beast in her arms very tightly, she thought, it's not that she doesn't like it, it's just that she hasn't worn one like this, so she doesn't want to try it.
The color of those clothes is so vivid and beautiful, it is not the color that suits her.
"Go in and have a look." Shen Rongyu grabbed her wrist.
Ji Qingzhuo's wrist was cold, maybe it was because of holding the Xuanshuang Beast for a long time, Shen Rongyu pulled the little guy out of her arms, and threw it away.
Originally, Ji Qingzhuo wanted to reach out to catch it, but soon, this little spirit beast sprouted wings from its back, and flew beside her with a "hula-hula".
The shop is deserted, which is incompatible with the hustle and bustle of the street outside. The reason for the desertion is simple. The things here are expensive, and even the boss is leaning on the side and reading the book in his hand.
To others, this attitude may be perfunctory to customers, but to Ji Qingzhuo, it is simply a perfect shopping environment.
Seeing that she didn't have to deal with the boss, she then looked at the clothes displayed in the store, which were colorful and designed with their own characteristics.
Of course, the most peculiar thing is that these clothes are faintly rippling with the light of spells - this Ji Qingzhuo can't see it.
They are equivalent to pieces of small magical treasures, which have the effect of protecting against water and wind and resisting attacks. Each piece is worth a lot of money, at least not something that a new disciple like her can afford.
Shen Rongyu asked Ji Qingzhuo: "Don't you like it?"
Ji Qingzhuo shook her head, looked at it, and took out a blue dress from it: "This one?"
Shen Rongyu said to her: "You can change it and try."
Ji Qingzhuo nodded, she actually likes it a little bit, who can say no to a beautiful dress.
If you dare not wear it out, you can try it in your own room, she thought.
She walked into the fitting room and began to change=try on this very cumbersome dress. In fact, if her cultivation base is higher and she can use spells, she can dress with one click, but she doesn't want to wear it now. Yes, you can only change slowly.
Seeing her walking into the fitting room, Shen Rongyu walked out of the store, and then used the air defense technique to fly high into the sky at an extremely fast speed, locking the area where food was sold in the market, and planning the route.
He quickly went back to the store. At this time, Ji Qingzhuo hadn't finished changing his clothes, but the owner of the store had never seen such an operation. He put down the book in his hand and looked at Shen Rongyu in surprise.
"Brother Shen of Xuanyunzong?" The boss discovered Shen Rongyu's identity only now.
"En." Shen Rongyu responded coldly.
"We have never seen you in the market, which girl do you bring to buy clothes." The boss lowered his voice and said to Shen Rongyu, "Friend Shen, the things here are not cheap."
Shen Rongyu had no concept of money, so he just said yes, and put a bag of spirit stones in front of the boss, and told him: "No matter how much you buy, just tell her it's fifty middle-grade spirit stones."
"Shen Daoyou, you are so strange." The boss accepted the spirit stone, satisfied, and agreed to any conditions.
Ji Qingzhuo didn't have the sensitive hearing of a cultivator, she didn't hear anything, she just lowered her head and studied the last silk ribbon in her hand.
This thing...how is it used, is it wrapped around the waist, or tied to the hands?
In the end, she still clutched the soft streamer, a little embarrassed, and walked out.
Shen Rongyu leaned against the bench in the store, turned her head sideways to watch the people coming and going outside the door, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The little Xuanshuang beast obediently lay beside him, with its wings retracted, and seized the opportunity to take a nap first.
Ji Qingzhuo pushed open the door of the fitting room, and called Shen Rongyu: "Senior Brother Xiaoyu."
There is no mirror in this store, because the nuns who can afford the clothes here can easily summon a mirror to admire their appearance after wearing new clothes.
Ji Qingzhuo himself doesn't know whether she is beautiful or ugly.
Shen Rongyu raised his head to look at her, the thin ice in his eyes seemed to be smashed, and he saw that she was wearing a long light blue dress with layers of skirts, like the shape of lotus leaves.
Ji Qingzhuo was born beautiful. I don't know if it was because of her attire or aura, she was always unobtrusive, but this dress really suits her. It is elegant and fresh, not the flamboyant color she resists. After the rain, the ripples swayed by the dew dripping on the lotus pond are subtle and restrained.
Shen Rongyu's eyes reflected her appearance, he seemed to see a flower secretly blooming in a small corner of a dead tree.
Seeing that he was silent, Ji Qingzhuo tilted his head and asked, "Brother Xiaoyu, isn't it good-looking?"
Shen Rongyu shook his head, his throat moved slightly under his sideways face.
Ji Qingzhuo clenched the silk sash tightly in her hand, she was organizing her words, trying to ask the shop owner for help, asking where this thing was used for.
But Shen Rongyu noticed her little trick first: "You don't know what this is for?"
"En." Ji Qingzhuo responded, rubbing the silk ribbon with her fingers, looking a little at a loss.
Shen Rongyu stepped forward confidently, and pulled the silk sash out of her hand. Ji Qing cut this dress, which exposed a large area of skin on the chest, fair and flawless, and delicate collarbone.
"It should be tied around the neck." Shen Rongyu himself didn't know, but this didn't prevent him from talking nonsense.
He wrapped the silk sash behind Ji Qingzhuo, the light gauze fell on her neck, and she was almost wrapped in his arms.
Ji Qingzhuo didn't resist, so she let him play around obediently. She stared at the fairy embroidered on Shen Rongyu's skirt, and smelled the faint fragrance again.
Shen Rongyu's fingers were bent, and the light blue tulle slid across the raised knuckles, and he easily wrapped the silk ribbon around.
Just as the tie was about to be fastened, the boss who had wisely chosen not to speak finally couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't allow his careful design to be destroyed.
These two idiots!
The boss coughed lightly and reminded them: "It's a decoration on the sleeves, Fellow Daoist Shen, please don't wear it any more."
Shen Rongyu let go, and the light blue silk ribbons hung down, stacked on Ji Qingzhuo's chest, and the ends fell down.
Ji Qingzhuo lowered her head, she was stunned for a moment when she caught a glimpse of the falling silk sash from the corner of her eye.
Shen Rongyu tugged at the other end of the silk sash, and it fell softly, and then he wrapped it around Ji Qingzhuo's sleeve, and it hovered on it miraculously, and it would not fall off no matter how you shook it.
As a dress designed for nuns, this fairy streamer, once put on, will naturally not fall off no matter how you shake it off.
Ji Qingzhuo licked her lips embarrassingly, because she was too nervous just now, her lips were dry.
Fortunately, this dress was finished, and judging from Shen Rongyu's reaction, it shouldn't be too ugly.
Ji Qingzhuo was about to buy this set, and was about to leave with Fu Lingshi, but Shen Rongyu tugged her wrist: "Look again."
Shen Rongyu picked out many sets, blue, blue, purple, pink, and yellow, fairy clothes of various colors, falling like flowing clouds.
"It won't be very expensive, right?" Ji Qingzhuo remembered that she would return Shen Rongyu's Lingshi when she went back.
"No." Shen Rongyu gave the boss such a big bag of high-grade spirit stones, he couldn't give it for nothing.
In the end, Shen Rongyu pretended to pay the shopkeeper fifty middle-grade spirit stones, and then left with Ji Qingzhuo. The little Xuanshuang beast spread its wings belatedly, and flew out.
Ji Qingzhuo felt a little pain when he thought that he could only receive one hundred middle-grade spirit stones each month, which was equivalent to spending half a month's salary.
But when Shen Rongyu took her out to play, she couldn't show her timidity anymore, just spend the flowers, anyway, she didn't need them usually, Ji Qingzhuo comforted herself like this.
She was holding large and small bags of clothes, and the little Xuanshuang Beast who was following her also had a bag in her mouth, and Shen Rongyu had both hands full. She looked a bit embarrassed, not like an elegant cultivator.
"Zuozhuo, you don't have anything to store?" Shen Rongyu asked.
"I haven't." Ji Qingzhuo replied honestly.
"Elder Yu is indeed accepting apprentices for the first time." Shen Rongyu said casually.
Yu Sukong just threw a big trouble at his side.
"What do you usually use to store things?" Shen Rongyu stretched out his hand towards her.
Ji Qingzhuo touched his waist, and took out the small pouch hanging on his waist: "Senior brother Xiaoyu, all my valuables are packed in it."
Shen Rongyu poured out the contents, three coins fell into his palm, and there was also a golden spirit control rope.
He recognized this spirit control rope, which he gave her casually on the day of the Immortal Ascension Conference. At that time, he just thought her donkey was too stupid and an eyesore.
In the end, she was not used by the donkey. He thought she was lost, but he didn't expect to be here.
"Valuables?" Shen Rongyu said while holding the spirit control rope, looking down at Ji Qingzhuo.
Ji Qingzhuo really thinks so, this thing will emit light, and it was given by Shen Rongyu, so it looks very precious.
And... this is a gift from him, she has never received a gift from anyone else before.
So Ji Qingzhuo nodded.
Shen Rongyu put the Ling Yu Suo back into the purse again, a little magic light flashed on his fingertips, it seemed that the purse had been cast some kind of spell.
"Small spells for expanding the space. There is not much space inside, and it can barely hold some." Shen Rongyu returned the purse to Ji Qingzhuo. With his current cultivation level, it is not enough to create a wide and independent space, but it would be enough to create a room. Large storage purse is more than enough.
Ji Qingzhuo put all her things in it, and she even put her hand in: "Senior Brother Xiaoyu, can I get in too?"
"There is no spiritual energy and no air inside. People will suffocate to death, so they can only release dead objects." Shen Rongyu fished out her hand.
Ji Qingzhuo tied the purse back to her waist again, she felt... a little bit happy, this future villain seems to be quite a good person.
She followed Shen Rongyu to the place where the food was sold - he had already sneaked by, so this time he was very familiar with it.
The food in the Immortal Cultivation World is very special, and Ji Qingzhuo is full after eating it. She likes the Liuyun cake sold in the dim sum shop very much. It is soft and soft, like cotton candy, but not so sweet.
She bought several boxes and asked Shen Rongyu if she wanted some.
Shen Rongyu doesn't like sweets, he doesn't even eat, how could he like this kind of sweet and greasy pastry.
Coming back from the market with a full load, Ji Qingzhuo thought she followed Shen Rongyu back to the school, so they went back to rest.
However, Shen Rongyu led her to another place, Shuiyun Peak, Jiang Qianke's cave.
"Elder Jiang..." Ji Qingzhuo resisted going to him.
Shen Rongyu led her down from the Snow Burial Sword, and he explained: "There were Elder Jiang and Elder Ye on Baishui Island that night, we saw Elder Ye, he was injured by the soul-chasing nail, but Elder Jiang did not show up. "
"No matter how much information confuses the public, there is no doubt about one thing. The person who released the soul chasing nail is among Elder Jiang and Elder Ye." Shen Rongyu walked into the mist of peach blossoms, and turned his head to look at Ji Qing. Zhuo said, "Don't you want to go and see how he's doing?"
Ji Qingzhuo was startled, it took her a long time to realize that Shen Rongyu had brought her to do something bad.
Entering Jiang Qianke's cave, he could obviously say hello outside, and as the elder of Xuanyun Sect, it was impossible for him to turn them away.
But Shen Rongyu walked into the mist of peach blossoms, obviously intending to sneak into Shuiyun Peak secretly to investigate Jiang Qianke's situation secretly.
As expected, he is still the big villain, and now he wants to drag her into his thief boat, Ji Qingzhuo thought so while hugging the little Xuanshuang beast in his arms.
But... Is it appropriate to bring such a little spirit beast to do this kind of thing?
Shen Rongyu's actions told her that it was suitable, very suitable.
He strolled in the mist of peach blossoms, leisurely, as if admiring the scenery, but he ignored all the obscurities and ghosts in the mist, he seemed to be very familiar with this formation.
Ji Qingzhuo remembered...Since she was a beginner, Shen Rongyu often comprehended high-level formations in Shuiyun Peak. Is he really comprehending formations?
She followed Shen Rongyu step by step, for fear that she would get lost.
Shen Rongyu stretched out her hand backwards and called her, "Zhuo Zhuo."
He seems to want her to hold him, Ji Qingzhuo is actually very afraid, but... holding hands...
Her fingertips touched his palm, but she didn't fully grasp it.
The mist is getting thicker, and the misty formation of peach blossoms outside Shuiyun Peak is no better than the simple version at the beginning. Ji Qingzhuo was able to see through the illusion last time, but this time, he may not be able to.
Jiang Qianke has reached the pinnacle in the formation, and the Peach Blossom Mist Formation is his most proud work.
Ji Qingzhuo held Shen Rongyu's hand vaguely, she saw his figure gradually disappearing into the milky mist, the little Xuanshuang beast in her arms fell asleep, it seemed that she was the only one left here.
She was a little scared, so she subconsciously held Shen Rongyu's hand in front of her, tightening her strength a little.
Shen Rongyu in front of him suddenly exerted all his strength and pulled her over.
"Zhuo Zhuo?" He took her hand, holding it tightly, his palm was warm, and his clear face could not be seen clearly in the mist.
Ji Qingzhuo opened his lips slightly, and was about to say something, but Shen Rongyu was already looking forward.
"I have roughly figured out the direction of the Peach Blossom Mist Formation, but Elder Jiang may change the subtleties at any time." His voice was slow, with a hint of coaxing.
Ji Qingzhuo blinked, she seemed to understand Shen Rongyu's intentions, she can solve the formation, even if she is in the formation, if she is given enough information, she can calculate the solution to the formation.
This ability is almost instinctive, even if she doesn't want to use it herself, these numbers and graphics are so fascinating, they always flash in her mind.
Shen Rongyu...let her go out...that's why he brought her here.
Ji Qingzhuo hugged the little Xuanshuang beast tightly in her arms, and she understood a little bit, anyway, it would be better to buy a little spirit beast, or pick some clothes, anyway, he wants to make her happy, so... She should obediently help him out.
She had guessed like this before, but now that the guess was confirmed, she was still a bit dazed.
Why bother, Brother Xiaoyu... Ji Qingzhuo thinks so, even if he doesn't do anything, she will help him, after all, he was the one who held her in his arms that night on Baishui Island.
Ji Qingzhuo felt aggrieved, but she didn't show such emotion. She raised her head and met Shen Rongyu's hazy eyes in the mist: "Senior Brother Xiaoyu, tell me about this formation."
He uttered all the information about the Peach Blossom Fog Array, and Ji Qingzhuo automatically converted it into simple numbers and images in his mind. No need for pen and paper, she was like a high-speed computer, and quickly gave Answer.
"Little brother, go to the east. After three hundred feet, the fog will gradually weaken, and you can see through the obstacles when you fly into the air." Ji Qingzhuo's voice was very low, but every word was clear.
She lowered her eyes, her slender long eyelashes trembling slightly, and the little Xuanshuang Beast in her arms yawned, as if she didn't understand what happened, and she didn't know that she was given away as a gift for a transaction.
Ji Qingzhuo touched its head and felt that it was so pitiful.
She doesn't like this, but Shen Rongyu is the big villain, right? What he does should be reasonable, but she is still confused by his appearance.
Ji Qingzhuo felt that her feet were heavy and she couldn't lift them up. She didn't want to follow him anymore.
However, Shen Rongyu's back was clearly in front of her, but in the next moment, someone from the side squeezed her wrist tightly.
The temperature of the palm holding her wrist was familiar, and the tiger's mouth was tightly pressed against her wrist bone. Ji Qingzhuo was led by him, turned around, and fell into his arms.
At this moment, the fog cleared a little, and Shen Rongyu's face became clear, his eyes were still cold, as cool as jade.
"Zhuo Zhuo?" He called her again.
Ji Qingzhuo was taken aback for a moment, her eyes were a little hollow, and she looked distraught, she hadn't woken up from the accident just now.
"The mist of peach blossoms can confuse people's minds, what did Zhuo Zhuo encounter just now?" Shen Rongyu let go of her, and touched her forehead, which was a little hot and sweaty from nervousness.
"Just now...was it fake?" Ji Qingzhuo realized it now, since she realized something was wrong and wanted to hold Shen Rongyu's hand, it was already her fantasy at that time. She was afraid that Shen Rongyu brought her here to let her help to clear the formation - although it was understandable, he was so kind to her, so she naturally wanted to listen to him.
However, Ji Qingzhuo didn't like it, she resisted such a thing from happening.
The mist of peach blossoms revealed the most feared thing in her heart, and then staged such a fantasy scene. She watched Shen Rongyu walk into the mist, and no longer wanted to hold his hand.
However, Shen Rongyu was Shen Rongyu, and Ji Qingzhuo didn't want to hold his hand, so he naturally wanted to come up and hold it tightly.
"It's fake." Shen Rongyu looked at her and said.
Only then did Ji Qingzhuo realize the power of this formation. She and Shen Rongyu continued to walk side by side. She remembered something and asked Shen Rongyu, "Did Senior Brother Xiaoyu encounter an illusion just now?"
"I have no obstacles." Shen Rongyu said looking at the fog that could not see the way forward.
He led her out of the peach blossom mist without Ji Qingzhuo's prompting at all.
Ji Qingzhuo felt a little ashamed of the fantasies he had, and his steps were heavy.
Shen Rongyu glanced back at the misty formation of peach blossoms behind him, and did not speak again. From the beginning to the end, he only remembered one message: "Go east, after three hundred feet, the fog will weaken, and it will fly into the air from there, you can see through it." Obstacle."
But when he turned his head to look at Ji Qingzhuo, there was a little smile on his lips again: "Go and see Elder Jiang."
Ji Qingzhuo went with him and hid his figure. If it was normal, Jiang Qianke would be able to discover their existence with Jiang Qianke's cultivation base, but obviously Jiang Qianke was indeed injured, and it was very difficult for them to sneak into his courtyard smoothly.
Meng Yaolan brought a copper basin into Jiang Qianke's room, and after a long time, the copper basin was soaked with blood. Jiang Qianke's injury was worse than Ye Duanhong's.
When the basin of blood was brought out, Ji Qingzhuo turned her head away. She didn't want to see such a scene, but she thought that Jiang Qianke should be very miserable at this time.
The soul-chasing nail turned back... Is it him or Ye Duanhong? She was completely lost.
Shen Rongyu noticed the movement of her turning her head, and he rubbed the Burial Snow Sword at his waist with his fingertips, and asked slowly: "Zhuo Zhuo doesn't want to see it?"
"It hurts my eyes." Ji Qingzhuo couldn't look at these bright colors, especially blood ones, and she resisted.
Shen Rongyu stared at her pupils, her pupils were clear and flawless, the pure black pupils were shimmering, sometimes she was dazed and seemed a little hollow.
She's like a very fragile little puppet, neither this nor that.
After investigating Jiang Qianke's situation, they left. The mist array of peach blossoms did not stop them, and they came and went silently.
After Ji Qingzhuo returned to his yard, he counted the middle-grade spirit stones hidden in the jar, planning to ask Shen Rongyu to pay back the money.
However, when she walked out the door with a jar full of spirit stones in her arms, she discovered that a small war broke out in her small courtyard.
The protagonist is naturally the little Xuanshuang beast and her donkey fur that have just been brought home.
