Chapter 186: Is Food Served?
After Xie Lingyu finished saying those two sentences, her gaze looked forward again.
Hearing Xie Lingyu speak, Chu Xingchen looked sideways at her.
Chu Xingchen saw that Xie Lingyu's gaze was already fixed ahead, her expression calm, as if the sentence she just said was perfectly ordinary.
But before this, Xie Lingyu would not say such words that made people want to tease.
However, such words cannot be teased about right now.
Chu Xingchen suppressed the impulse to speak wittily.
After all, Xie Lingyu has a thin face; if she gets anxious, she really will hit people, and he doesn't want to get kicked like that flood dragon with no eyesight.
It's just that he usually teases his disciples a lot, so suddenly having to hold back from speaking feels a bit unaccustomed.
Chu Xingchen looked up ahead and lightly pursed his lips.
Xie Lingyu looked at the somewhat bustling crowd amidst the rain.
Life does not give people room to breathe because of heavy rain and disasters.
After walking for a moment, she still didn't hear Chu Xingchen beside her speaking.
Xie Lingyu looked sideways again, only to see Chu Xingchen looking forward with a slightly serious expression.
As if he hadn't heard the sentence she just said.
Usually, by this time, he would always say some beat-worthy words to tease her.
Xie Lingyu couldn't help but raise the topic: "What do you plan to do?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xingchen raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Go be a shit stirrer."
"A shit stirrer?!"
Xie Lingyu looked over with a suspicious gaze.
Does this term have some other meaning? A self-deprecating word?
Chu Xingchen explained: "It is hard to accomplish one thing, but wanting to ruin a thing is as simple as drinking water."
"Simply put, whatever the enemy wants to complete, we just won't let them complete it."
"We have to constantly find trouble for the enemy, and they will have to constantly patch up the trouble. As long as there are enough times, they will definitely reveal their flaws."
"Anyway, we have no cost for failure, but their failure might cost them their old lives; the ones who should really be anxious are them."
Hearing this, Xie Lingyu frowned and pondered slightly, then understood something.
"You mean you intend to start with those rebellions in the Black Tortoise Nation?"
Chu Xingchen nodded affirmatively: "More or less. Anyway, we definitely can't let them complete their goal so happily."
"I plan to split up first. Leave people here to continue the ambush to avoid missing the timing and letting them run away. I will personally lead a team to meet that group of people and test their caliber."
Hearing this, Xie Lingyu hurriedly spoke: "Do you intend to make a move personally? You must understand that the theory of karma is not just empty talk."
There is a precedent for this.
Bai Xuanling killed people without blinking in the early years, so much so that his killing intent was too severe. Nowadays, the time he spends suppressing his own Heart Ape is more than his cultivation time.
Bai Xuanling's character is undoubtedly resolute, but even such a Tribulation Crossing cultivator gave birth to a Heart Ape under the situation of excessive killing.
Moreover, due to excessive killing, even though the celestial phenomena are chaotic today, when the Tianyan Sect Leader calculated Bai Xuanling's tribulation lightning, the results were without exception very clear and distinct.
Body death and Dao extinguishment.
Bai Xuanling indeed killed many people, and actually some of them died deservedly.
There were also some who had to be killed because of sectarian disputes.
The Tianyan Arts that the Tianyan Sect relies on for fame, how is it not also an art of tracing causes and effects?
Therefore, regarding the theory of karma, the Tianyan Sect holds a positive attitude; this is, after all, considered the foundation of establishing the sect.
However, having said that, when it is time to offend the Tianyan Sect, one will still offend without hesitation—I know this is wrong, but I just want to do it this way.
After all, not many true cultivators are willing to resign themselves to fate.
Chu Xingchen gently shook his head and denied.
"I am not a demon head. Moreover, among those rebels, how many are just people who can't eat enough and are seeking a way to survive?"
"I'm just going over there to display the talents in my brain."
Hearing this, Xie Lingyu was slightly speechless; at this moment, she was also somewhat uncertain—compared to using his wits, would it be better if he made a move personally?
Chu Xingchen glanced at Xie Lingyu and said: "Alright, since you agree, I will make the arrangements. Originally, you guys didn't come, and there weren't enough people. I was afraid that if I left, Li Xingtian and the others wouldn't be able to hold the situation, but now the situation is different."
"Qinghe is a flood dragon of the Nascent Soul Realm. The water vein is also considered her home field. Leaving her behind to prevent theft is the best choice."
"However, Qinghe looks a bit unintelligent, and her nature seems somewhat lazy."
"So I want Li Xingtian to stay too. He has some insight into ambushing, and he rarely makes mistakes when doing things. It's considered leaving an insurance."
"I plan to let Li Yingling go with me to the Black Tortoise Nation for a trip, and by the way, investigate the Black Tortoise matter."
"As for you, do you want to stay in Cangzhou, or go with me?"
On the great river.
Li Yingling was crisp and sharp in investigating the situation of the water vein, and Li Xingtian was also drawing the map in detail.
As for a certain flood dragon, she had long since drifted away without a trace.
Estimated to be sleeping soundly somewhere at the bottom of the river right now.
Before leaving, Qinghe also seriously spouted some nonsense that made Li Yingling want to laugh.
Things like patching leaks in peculiar water veins, or that there are occasionally water veins under the river bottom—utter nonsense.
She didn't even bother to use her brain to find an excuse, as if she was certain that Li Yingling was a fool who couldn't turn her head.
After speaking, she sank into the river bottom and hasn't poked her head out until now.
But let her sleep.
Li Yingling didn't expect Qinghe to really work for her from the start.
Two rays of rainbow light flew swiftly from afar.
After Li Yingling and Li Xingtian looked up, they went back to doing whatever they needed to do.
The newcomers were Chu Xingchen and Xie Lingyu.
Chu Xingchen stood on the river, glanced at his two disciples, but did not find the figure of a certain flood-dragon slacker.
"Have you seen Qinghe?" Chu Xingchen asked the two.
Li Yingling nodded lightly: "Mm, she came earlier. As for now, she is probably somewhere at the bottom of the river."
Xie Lingyu's expression was as usual; if she saw this flood dragon working, that would be truly wrong.
"Yingling, pack up, come with me on a trip."
After giving orders to Li Yingling, Chu Xingchen looked at Li Xingtian nearby and said.
"Your ambush methods are very much to my liking, so stay and set up the ambush and draw the water vein map with Qinghe."
"Master..."
Li Xingtian said somewhat helplessly, "That flood dragon..."
Li Xingtian didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious—that flood dragon has perfected slacking off, and he, Li Xingtian, can't handle her.
He doesn't know how to survey water veins, and some ambush methods require the Nascent Soul stage to work.
Hearing this, Chu Xingchen reached out and patted the shoulder of Xie Lingyu beside him.
"I will leave the Xie Lingyu Token with you. Guaranteed to make that flood dragon not dare to go west if I tell it to go east, and not dare to do a somersault if I tell it to roll on the spot."
Hearing this, Xie Lingyu raised her hand and gave Chu Xingchen a fierce elbow strike.
What is the Xie Lingyu Token?
Li Xingtian watched as his Master received the elbow strike and then covered his chest with a pained expression on his face.
Regretting that his Master had not realized...
But since Xie Lingyu is staying.
Li Xingtian cupped his hands and said: "Please teach me, Uncle Xie."
"We just need to look after each other."
Xie Lingyu nodded lightly, then planned to call Qinghe out first.
Under the gaze of everyone, Xie Lingyu took out a jade flute from her spatial ring and began to play gently.
The flute sound was melodious and lingering, penetrating the water surface under the blessing of spiritual power.
Just a moment later, Qinghe suddenly rushed out from the river bottom and came before everyone.
Just as Li Yingling and Li Xingtian were curious about what summoning method the flute was.
They saw Qinghe look at Xie Lingyu with joy and say.
"Is food served?"
Hearing Qinghe's words, Li Yingling couldn't help but nod heavily—what a great means!
