Too Reckless - Vol 14 Chapter 10
As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more pleasing to the eye, but this sentence is not always effective.
Xie Wen sat on the Taishi chair, his demeanor was gentle and easy-going, his eyes lingered on the men and women on both sides of the tea table, the more he looked… the more uneasy he felt!
Xie Wen was a mother. When Qiu Tao left her side, she was less than six years old. She had braided horns, big eyes, and a round face. She was very close to her mother. Like her, she is a knowledgeable and prudent eldest lady.
But in front of Qiu Tao, wearing a small skirt, except for the girl’s hair accessories replaced by horn braids, nothing else has changed; Stirring the fabric of the skirt, it doesn’t look very smart at first glance…
The Zuo Lingquan next to him is different, with a well-proportioned body and slender limbs, a handsome face with sword-brows and star-shaped eyes. He sits upright on a chair and does not smile. He has a temperament that does not eat human fireworks. I am afraid that it is a certain immortal who maintains a young appearance. No one doubts it. .
It’s nothing to see the two of them alone. Once they sit together, they will feel that the girl next to her will be crushed by the man after she gets married, and she will be afraid of her husband’s dislike even if she smiles.
If that’s the case, Xie Wen can also think about it. It’s the same with women. Although the Xie family’s women never marry outside, they only recruit husband-in-law, but that is an old rule for thousands of years. Now the Xie family has already fallen apart. There’s no point in sticking to this deadly rule.
But the cold Sword Immortal in front of him doesn’t seem to be as cold as Xie Wen imagined. She was held down by the fierce woman just now, and she saw with her own eyes that the boy hugged the woman’s chest.
And the woman seemed to have become accustomed to it, not so much the first time, just a little fierce.
The reaction in public was so flat, and Xie Wen didn’t dare to think about how close he was in private. .
Xie Wen didn’t know who that woman was, but he could guess that she had an extraordinary position, which could be seen from Zuo Lingquan’s strict wife control behavior.
If a girl marries a man, it’s fine, but if she gets married to a married man, she’ll be managed by a big house…
Xie Wen is the head of the house, and all men come to the house. It is really hard to imagine how to live in that kind of life.
But she didn’t dare to show her thoughts. She hasn’t taken care of her daughter for so many years. If she is not satisfied with her son-in-law, I am afraid that she will be hated by her daughter as a mother…
Zuo Lingquan sat upright and did not look sideways, trying to look calm, but Qiu Tao did not speak, nor did Aunt Xie speak. He was inevitably embarrassed in his heart. After waiting for a while, he took the initiative to speak:
“Don’t worry, Aunt Xie, Qiu Tao has lived very well these past few years. She’s smart and didn’t suffer much.”
Xie Wen nodded slightly and looked at Zuo Lingquan. He couldn’t tell his age, so he asked:
“Ling Quan, how old are you this year?”
Zuo Lingquan smiled and said, “Twenty-two virtual years.”
“twenty two?”
Xie Wen didn’t see Zuo Lingquan’s realm, but he could guess that he would definitely not be below the jade level. At this age, it can be said to be incredible. She exclaimed slightly:
“I didn’t expect that you are only twenty-two, Qiu Tao is better than you…”
“mother!”
Qiu Tao, who lowered her head to play with her skirt, suddenly raised her head when she heard the sound, her face a little embarrassed:
“I’m three or four years apart from Zuo Gongzi, don’t think blindly.”
Three or four years old?
Xie Wen was stunned for a moment, and secretly said: This girl, she knows how to pretend to be twenty-five or six in front of her lover, doesn’t she look stupid…
Seeing her daughter say this, Xie Wen naturally didn’t want to mess around, just smiled:
“Regardless of age, practitioners, as long as they are in love, not only three or four years old, but three or four thousand years old are not a problem. Hmm… Ling Quan, do you already have a Taoist companion?”
“I…”
“no!”
Xie Qiutao looked at her mother with a smile, and said seriously:
“Young Master Zuo is obsessed with swordsmanship, focusing on cultivation and slaying demons and eliminating demons. How can you think about these things, mother, don’t ask.”
Zuo Lingquan opened his mouth, but he really couldn’t say anything.
Although Xie Wen hadn’t seen her daughter for many years, and wished to hold her daughter for three days and three nights, but at this moment, he thought of the feather duster in Linglong Pavilion for the first time.
This stinky girl movie, are you blind as a mother?
When Xie Wen saw the attitude of her daughter and her husband, there was no need to ask anything else. He looked at Zuo Lingquan and said:
“I’m here. Although I can’t help myself, I haven’t suffered any hardships. Raising the turtles and teaching the disciples is quite fulfilling. You don’t have to worry about it. Qiutao has grown up, and I am not a mother. If Fa takes care of you again, I can only ask you in the future.”
Zuo Lingquan said seriously: “Aunt Xie, don’t worry, Qiu Tao and I have lived and died together for many years, her business is mine. Although I can’t let my aunt get away now, as long as I know that my aunt is here, I will never let her go. It will disappoint Qiu Tao.”
Xie Qiutao nodded quickly: “Yes. Zuo Gongzi and I are iron buddies who are born and die…”
Xie Wen sighed secretly, and was left speechless by this silly girl. She thought about it and said directly:
“Qiutao is a bit naughty, but as the young lady of my Xie family, I won’t lose to any woman in the world in terms of virtue. Such a jade pendant is the dowry I prepared for her… Dowry, I’ll give it to you today…”
As Xie Wen spoke, he took out a small jasper turtle from his sleeve and wanted to hand it to Zuo Lingquan.
Zuo Lingquan naturally raised his hand to pick it up, but Qiu Tao, who was beside him, was at a loss, so he pressed his hand and snatched the Jasper Turtle:
“Mother, what are you doing…”
“Autumn Peach!”
After holding back for so long, Xie Wen finally couldn’t bear it anymore, his face sank, and he flipped his wrist and took out the feather duster.
When Xie Qiutao saw this, her neck shrank, and the memories of her childhood came to her mind, and she quickly put the jade pendant into Zuo Lingquan’s hand, doing it properly:
“Hee~”
“…”
The familiar smiling faces and movements made Xie Wen feel a little annoyed just now, but the blows vanished in an instant, his brain was in a trance, and the tip of his nose was sour, and he couldn’t help recalling the scenes when mother and daughter were together.
Zuo Lingquan was holding the jade pendant. Seeing that Xie Wen’s mood was fluctuating greatly, Qiu Tao also hesitated, knowing that the two of them couldn’t speak their hearts here, and said:
“Aunt Xie, I remember what I just said. You and Qiu Tao have not seen each other for a long time. Let’s talk more.”
Xie Wen put down the feather duster slowly, nodded slightly to Zuo Lingquan, and continued to look at the girl who was biting her lower lip.
Zuo Lingquan smiled, stood up and saluted, turned and walked out of the room.
Xie Qiutao waited for the door to close, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time broke out. She stood up suddenly and fell into Xie Wen’s arms. At first, she pursed her lips, but after holding back for a moment, she burst into tears. Still sad.
“mother…”
Xie Wen originally had a thousand words, but at this time he couldn’t say it anymore. He held his daughter in silence for a moment, and there were tears in his eyes…
——
The moonlight is long.
Xie Wen is the person in charge of Xuanwu Lake. The spirit beasts are farmed inside the Cangsha Ancient River, and they do not need special care. The surrounding area is surrounded by disciples that Xie Wen collected in the name of helpers, and there are no other people in Xie Wen’s house. .
Shangguan Yutang walked out of the hanging flower gate, stood in the veranda of the outer courtyard, looked at the huge Xuanwu Lake outside, analyzed various formations, and thought about the conversation just now, very focused.
Even if Miss Qiu was on the jade rank, it was still too far from the real ceiling of Jiuzhou to disturb the ancestors, so she stood in the veranda and looked at the giant tortoises in the yard.
The tortoise was Xie Wen’s spiritual pet. At this time, he was lying on the ground honestly, looking down at the bird in front of him.
The dumpling squatted in front of the tortoise’s head, “jijiji…” chattering, and by the way, he ate the spiritual fruit that the tortoise used for supper, and he didn’t think of himself as a foreign bird at all.
After Shangguan Yutang thought for a moment, he might have no clue, so he put it aside for a while, and turned around:
“After dawn, you can go directly to Tianying Castle; the blessed land is an important source of income for the sect, and the monks who sit here must be the confidants of the ancestors. You may know some news. While you are looking for prisoners, see if you have a chance to find out the inside story of this place.”
Miss Qiu nodded her head and looked back at the house. Zuo Lingquan hadn’t come out yet, and she didn’t know how to chat with the Valkyrie. Just when she was hesitating, she suddenly remembered something – catching Qiu Taoniang just now. Dear, she seemed to see that the Valkyrie was holding down Qiu Taoniang herself, and Zuo Lingquan was holding the Valkyrie with her hand still on…
“…”
Miss Qiu was a little nervous at first, but it turned into a weird moment, and subconsciously glanced at Shangguan Yutang’s chest.
How experienced Shangguan Yutang is, just with this small action, she guessed what Miss Qiu was thinking, and explained plainly:
“Tang Jingxuan’s body is used by this deity. Zuo Lingquan’s behavior just now in a hurry is to chase Jingxuan, and it has nothing to do with this deity, so don’t think about it.”
Yeah?
Miss Qiu is not stupid. As a jade rank powerhouse, she has a lot of research on the soul.
The essence of human beings is the soul, and the body is only the body, or even a tool; no matter where the responsibility is, it is always the soul who controls the body, not the innocent victim whose body is manipulated.
The Valkyrie used Miss Tang’s body, and was grabbed by Zuo Lingquan just now. If it was on Miss Tang’s head, then if she scolded the woman in front of her now, who would she be scolding?
Miss Qiu was very strange in her heart, but she didn’t dare to think deeply about some things, it was too subversive.
Shangguan Yutang knew that this matter was difficult to explain. After all, she couldn’t even figure it out herself. After thinking about it seriously, she could only say:
“The lake of the heart is clear, but the body is full of silt. It is still a saint; the lake of the heart is not clean and the clothes are neat and tidy. When looking at something, it depends on the original intention and the heart. You can’t blind your eyes. You can only draw conclusions based on your external behavior. You understand. ?”
These words are very philosophical. To put it simply, as long as your heart is clear and innocent, even if you are in bed with Zuo Lingquan, you are still innocent;
Miss Qiu certainly couldn’t see through Valkyrie’s heart, but the accumulated impression made her convinced that Valkyrie couldn’t do the weird thing of marrying a son-in-law, so she was ashamed in her eyes and said:
“It’s me being rude, and I hope Senior Shangguan is not to blame.”
Shangguan Yutang nodded slightly, meaning that children can be taught.
While the two were chatting, the side of the backyard opened, and Zuo Lingquan came out.
Miss Qiu guessed why Xie Wen left Zuo Lingquan behind. Although she has some thoughts about Zuo Lingquan’s several Taoist companions, she still hopes that Qiu Tao will survive.
Seeing Zuo Lingquan approaching, Miss Qiu asked curiously:
“How, is Aunt Xie satisfied with you?”
Zuo Lingquan didn’t expect Miss Qiu to be so smart, and said with a smile:
“It’s just some commonplace words. If you ask Qiu Tao for specifics, I’m not good at talking nonsense.”
Miss Qiu had already seen that Zuo Lingquan was afraid of his wife, which was not surprising.
Shangguan Yutang glanced at Zuo Lingquan and walked to the corner of the veranda:
“Zuo Lingquan, come here.”
?
Zuo Lingquan’s smile froze when he heard this, knowing that the ancestor was going to clean him up.
But why?
Zuo Lingquan felt that he behaved very well today, and there was nothing wrong with him. Suddenly, he was called aside by the ancestors so seriously, and he was a little innocent.
Zuo Lingquan quickly followed, and after turning around the corner of the veranda, he asked:
“Senior, do you have anything to do with me?”
Shangguan Yutang walked out for a while and made sure that Miss Qiu was not eavesdropping before turning around with a cold face:
“Zuo Lingquan, you’ve been getting more and more arrogant recently. In front of everyone’s eyes just now, you moved your hands and feet, don’t you think this will make outsiders misunderstand?”
Zuo Lingquan may be used to touching him. The ancestor didn’t talk about him before, and he didn’t take the small mistake to heart. Seeing the old ancestor put on this face, Zuo Lingquan knew that Miss Qiu must be suspicious. Hastily said:
“Just now, when I was in a hurry, the senior used a quiet body again. I instinctively… This move is definitely not aimed at the senior, I just did it unintentionally.”
Shangguan Yutang didn’t believe this at all. In order to make Zuo Lingquan pay attention to his senses in the future, she continued:
“Instinct? Last time on Xuelang, you held a grudge against Niuniu. Was it intentional or unintentional?”
Zuo Lingquan said naturally: “It must be unintentional, catch it easily, how could I have intentional frivolous women.”
“Unintentionally, where are you holding?”
Zuo Lingquan’s expression stiffened: “Waist.”
“If you don’t care about other people, you know what to do; why are you so direct when you come to the deity? Don’t you treat the deity as an outsider?”
“No, no…” Zuo Lingquan tried his best to explain: “Miss Qiu is herself, senior you used a quiet body, I…”
“Are you sure in your heart that you don’t know that this body is the deity?”
Zuo Lingquan must know!
But it was not the first time for him to touch him, and the ancestor didn’t know how to hit him, so he relaxed his vigilance and touched it…
Naturally, Zuo Lingquan did not dare to express these inner thoughts, and he would be beaten to death for speaking out. He could only say:
“In a hurry, I really didn’t pay attention. It was my negligence. Next time I don’t think I will be reckless.”
Shangguan Yutang’s eyes were serious: “Next time you behave rudely to this deity in public again, this deity will no longer be soft-hearted, and will give the onlookers a well-deserved end. I hope you do it yourself.”
Public?
Zuo Lingquan pondered, and asked curiously:
“If it’s in private, accidentally… hiss!”
bang—
In the corridor, there was a muffled sound.
Shangguan Yutang threw his backhand over his shoulder, pressed Zuo Lingquan to the ground, his knees on his chest, condescending, his eyes indifferent:
“Who are you as the deity?!”
Zuo Lingquan was almost stunned when he was thrown, Tangtang was really beaten, and his brain was instantly sober, and he answered seriously:
“Lord Linyuan, the Supreme Being of the Nine Alliances, the founder of Tiezu Mansion, the guardian and talker of Yuyao Continent, the ultimate role model for female cultivators in the world, and the Valkyrie Goddess, one of the Ten Immortals…”
Shangguan Yutang was made to laugh by Zuo Lingquan’s appearance and words, but her tyrannical mind still allowed her to maintain her immortal attitude and continued:
“And you?”
“Zuo Lingquan, Ling Ye’s husband, the unknown little Jianxiu, is different from senior Yunni.”
Shangguan Yutang nodded with satisfaction: “It’s good to know the gap between you and me. The deity treats you generously because it appreciates you; if you don’t know the boundaries, you take your appreciation as a sign of weakness, and you feel that you can gain an inch, or even have a bad heart, which is disrespect to the deity; You should understand what will happen to those who do not respect the deity.”
Zuo Lingquan was pressed by Yutang to clean up, and it was interesting to get used to it. But he didn’t dare to show that he was enjoying it, and said seriously:
“clear.”
After Shangguan Yutang looked at Zuo Lingquan for a moment, he felt that he was duplicitous, so he wanted to give a few more warnings, but…
Zuo Lingquan was pressed under his body, his face solemnly accepted the ancestor’s “convincing people with martial arts”, and suddenly found the cold ancestor, his right eye showed a little streamer, and his body also appeared a little stiff, and then he said:
“You try to kill my man again? Xiao Zuo said it wasn’t intentional…”
The words came to an abrupt end, and the woman who was pressing on her body began to be stunned. It should be the two women in her body who started quarreling.
Zuo Lingquan blinked, to be honest, it was a little embarrassing, so he could only lie in place and wait for the two to finish arguing.
But what I didn’t expect was that the two not only quarreled this time, but also got started!
I saw the woman kneeling on her chest, her right arm suddenly raised, grabbed his hand, and pressed it on her left chest.
Although Zuo Lingquan didn’t know the process, he could guess that Jing Xun must be saying, “What’s wrong with touching my body? My man touched my body, what does it have to do with you? I just touch…”
The ancestor should control the left body, the left hand quickly pushed his hand away, and then the left and right hands began to fight each other, the scene looked rather strange.
“…”
What can Zuo Lingquan say, he can’t provoke the ancestors, and he can’t persuade him to stop his hand, so he can only take the attitude of not resisting: not taking the initiative and being irresponsible, letting his hand be held and touched, lying down watching a play…
—–
The other side.
Shangguan Lingye and his party, following the information collected along the way, came to the area of Tianying Fort.
Tianying Fort is a property of the Temple of the Superintendent. The Tianying City outside the mountain is the Fairy Bazaar, and the fortress overlooking the city from the top of the mountain is the private property of the Temple of the Superintendent. There are monks sitting in the town and looking after the blessed land of Huangliang.
Huangliangfudi is similar to Tiecudongtian and Shenhuodongtian. It is a place for monks to experience and further their studies. Therefore, many monks come here, but the high incense money also discourages most people.
The Xian family monopolizes the heaven and the blessed land. The food looks too ugly, and it is easy for the desperate scattered cultivators to attack them and ruin their reputation, so most of them will open some openings, such as fighting rewards, buying medicine pills to win prizes, and even how many people enter the market. Wait, let the loose cultivators who are not qualified to enter fight for it, which can not only increase the traffic of Xianjia Market, but also bring prestige to the sect.
The same is true of the Temple of the Soldiers, because the sect is a martial art, and the way to obtain the qualification to enter the blessed land is naturally beating.
At night, the surrounding area of Yanwutai in the center of the main street of Tianying City was full of people, all watching the cultivators on the ring.
In a nearby Xianjia restaurant with an excellent view, Shangguan Lingye held a big white cat in his arms and chatted with Jiang Yi about the way to inquire about news:
“The head of Tianying Castle is Xu Yuanfeng, a disciple of Guchen of the Demon Sword. While guarding the blessed land, he will also help the alien race to select suitable loose cultivators; if you want to investigate the main attack direction of the alien race, you must either catch Xu Yuanfeng or be selected and enter the alien race. When the dark pile…”
“The alien race must be very strict on the background of the loose cultivator. If you go with Sister Yingying, you can scare the alien race to death; my aunt and I behave appropriately…”
“You and Qingwan are still inexperienced, so you rashly sneaked into the alien army. If you don’t last for a long time, the old monsters will see your flaws. Only Qiu Tao is qualified for this position.”
Jiang Yi opened her mouth, but didn’t refute it. After all, Ling Ye couldn’t compare to Qiu Tao when it came to detective disguise and adaptability to unfamiliar environments, and even more so for them. She thought about it and said:
“Then what should we do? Go and catch Xu Yuanfeng?”
Shangguan Lingye shook his head slightly: “Xu Yuanfeng is a martial artist. He’s not that easy to catch. If he catches it, it’s hard to interrogate him, and he’ll startle the snake. This target is too hard to bite, and it’s not suitable. Let’s replace it with another one.”
In the room, Cui Yingying was watching Qingwan making the ‘White Tiger Knife’. Seeing the two frowning, she said:
“I asked Yutang to see what she had to say.”
Cui Yingying contacted the ancestral tree of Taohuatan with her life and wanted to chat with Shangguan Yutang.
The connection between the peach blossom ancestral tree and Cui Yingying is not as direct as the soul connection, and it is a little delayed.
After a while, Cui Yingying frowned, and her gentle and familiar cheeks showed suspicion.
Wu Qingwan noticed something was wrong, put down the carving knife in her hand, and asked:
“What’s up?”
Shangguan Lingye and Jiang Yi also turned around and looked at Cui Yingying.
Cui Yingying is actually nothing, but when communicating with Yutang, she found that Yutang’s words were a little loose, and she didn’t know what she was doing.
However, looking at the sky, it is not surprising that Jing Xingzheng and Zuo Lingquan were in a relationship with me, and Shangguan Yutang followed suit.
Cui Yingying didn’t delve into it and said, “She asked us to do our own thing, and Zuo Lingquan and Qiu Niuniu will take care of Tianying Castle.”
When Shangguan Lingye heard this, although he did not dare to disobey his master, he was still a little unhappy and sat down at the table:
“I can’t handle it, how should Qiu Niuniu handle it?”
Jiang Yi was very interested in this topic and said:
“Yeah. Now that there is a new person, forget the old one. In the past, when I went to risk everywhere, Ling Ye was always by my side. Now how can I replace it with Qiu Niuniu? Well, maybe this is the feng shui rotation~”
Shangguan Lingye rubbed the white cat and responded with a smile: “Jiang Yi, after two years of cultivation, your little vinegar jar’s temper has changed.”
Jiang Yi picked up the seal with the word “Zheng” and played with it, and the smile made people feel like a spring breeze:
“Do people always have to grow up a bit? If you want to live a good life, you have to relax. Even if we work hard here and a woman is out to hook up with your man, we can’t care about it, right? Lingye?”
Shangguan Lingye was not in the right position, so he was speechless.
Leng Zhu silently brewed tea next to him, thinking that the princess had changed. It used to be a small vinegar jar, and everyone was sour when she saw it. Although the way is a bit special, but to be honest, it looks pretty cool.
Cui Yingying saw that the two began to fight each other on a daily basis, she blinked, and interjected:
“Chou Niuniu follows Zuo Lingquan, it’s really a bit of that… Or, when you meet with them, let Qiu Niuniu come over, and I continue to follow Zuo Lingquan?”
Shangguan Lingye did not object to Cui Yingying following along. After all, Cui Yingying had already boarded the boat. She, the boss, had to take care of her younger sister, but the current situation did not allow it. She shook her head and said:
“Zuo Lingquan has the assistance of the master. If Senior Yingying goes over, we will have to fend for ourselves. Qiu Niuniu can’t help me except to fight with me.”
Cui Yingying knew that this idea was unrealistic, and smiled: “Just talk about it, why don’t you accompany Zuo Lingquan and let Qiu Niuniu come over?”
Shangguan Lingye agreed 10,000 to this proposal, but Jiang Yi said seriously:
“No, Lingye is thoughtful and resourceful, and is our backbone. As soon as she leaves, won’t the team disperse? Those who achieve great things have to endure what ordinary people can’t bear. Even if we know that Qiu Niuniu is digging a foot in the wall, we can’t be selfish. Delay the business, Ling Ye, do you think so?”
It’s a hammer!
Shangguan Lingye City Palace is also really nice, he took a breath and nodded slightly:
“Jiang Yi is right. UU reading www.uukanshu.com”
Wu Qingwan watched the three people’s words, and she couldn’t help shaking her head secretly: “The three monks have no water to eat, the ancients honestly did not deceive me, alas…
Wu Qingwan was Zuo Lingquan’s first woman anyway, and no one could shake her status, and she was too lazy to compete with her sisters. She never let go of her second uncle. Seeing that the three of them were talking about the topic to death, she thought about it and said:
“I’ve searched around, but I can’t find a suitable target. On the Wangtidal Beach, it is said that the workshop of Kui Bingzhou Tiandi City is dedicated to making war preparation materials for aliens. Why don’t you go there and take a look?”
Shangguan Lingye was embarrassed by Jiang Yi. Hearing the words, he got serious and took out the map to check:
“Let’s study it first, if your second uncle is really there, I’m afraid it will be harder than Tianying Castle…”
