Chapter 271: Digging a Trap for Me

The fragrance of bamboo permeated the summer breeze, bringing coolness and elegance. The person who came walked slowly and forcefully, and a simple black bamboo stick came down. The first thing that caught my eye was her soft white hair, which was tied up with a bamboo hairpin, not too ostentatious.

"Good day, Immortal Xuanfeng."

"Good day, Immortal Xuanfeng."

The disciples around her stopped to greet her. She glanced at them and nodded with a gentle smile.

"I didn't expect the Fu family's children to come too. How is Fu He these days?"

Fu Weisheng made a gesture of greeting with his hands, his attitude neither too deep nor too shallow.

"Mr. Fu is doing well these days."

Xuanfeng Immortal Venerable looked at He Shoujing, "Shoujing and Weisheng have a very close relationship, worthy of being a friendship that grew up together."

He Shoujing glanced at Ji Fuyou, feeling something was amiss. He groaned, "The Immortal Venerable is truly adept at judging people. I only have a sisterly or perhaps a brotherly affection for Weisheng. I wonder why the Immortal Venerable has come to see me?"

Xuanfeng Immortal Venerable: "I just heard the voice of the girl from the Dong family, and suddenly remembered that I haven't seen her for a long time. Today is a good time to go and see her."

He Shoujing was shocked: "If the Immortal Lord wants to see you now, it won't work. Senior Sister Dong and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We need to catch up first."

Xuanfeng Immortal Venerable smiled, seeing through He Shoujing's little thoughts: "Do you think I don't understand what you are planning? You and Mingzhu are not harmonious senior and junior brothers and sisters. If you meet, you will be treated as a piece of grass by the roadside."

He Shoujing: "That's not the case. Senior Sister Dong has been gone for many years. When she was still in Qingyin Sect, I was still a golden lotus seed."

Xuanfeng Immortal Venerable: "Even so, you shouldn't have stopped me. Do you think I would save that girl?"

He Shoujing said he didn't dare, and then with a playful smile invited Immortal Xuanfeng to go with him.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Immortal Venerable. I thought you had already ascended to heaven."

"It's like your mouth is dipped in honey. Once you taste it, you'll find it's bitter."

"The front is sweet, so how can you say it's not sugar?"

Xuanfeng Immortal Venerable: "I am old, so I can't beat you young people with your words."

He Shoujing: "What a coincidence! I found something in the collection of 'Rare Treasures'. It's called the Fire Phoenix Short Line. It's a pity that Nanzhou is far away from the Red Maple Ridge of the Demon Realm. I don't know when I can see this treasure again."

Xuanfeng Immortal Venerable glanced at He Shoujing lovingly: "Who told you that?"

He Shoujing took out the book and said, "I found it myself. Does Xuanfeng Immortal Venerable have this treasure?"

Xuanfeng Immortal Venerable pondered: "Your Yupanqin can't fully utilize its function. It's a good thing, you should use it."

He Shoujing: "Oh! How difficult is that? Immortal Venerable, just give it to me. I can put it on the erhu and play it well. When the time comes, I will play and sing every day in Qingyin, and I will ensure that Immortal Venerable will have constant immortal music every day."

"Forget it. If you keep torturing an old man like me like this, I can't stand it. I'll ask Erfeng to give you the Fire Phoenix short-term."

"Then the Immortal Venerable must keep his word."

"How on earth did that old man from the He family raise a devil like you?"

"Why can't it be that I'm gifted?"

The two of them chatted and laughed until they arrived at the prison area of ​​Qingyin Sect. Fu Weisheng and Ji Fuyou followed closely behind them, silent.

When they were halfway there, Ji Fuyou secretly stuffed some pastries into Fu Weisheng's pocket. Fu Weisheng took it and swallowed it silently.

The result was choking.

Fu Weisheng's expressionless face also showed a hint of anger. Ji Fuyou smiled and used his spiritual power to help her swallow it.

He Shoujing, who was still distracted by dealing with the Immortal Master Xuanfeng, was speechless. It seemed that he was fighting here while the two of them were enjoying their sweet time here.

None of the Taoist companions will have a good death!

Of course, forget about Fu Weisheng, just kill Ji Fuyou or He Junyou.

……

……

"Who is this?"

Soon they arrived at the prison where Dong Mingzhu was imprisoned. Lin Qingyue had arrived ahead and had been waiting here for a long time.

He Shoujing introduced: "This is Fellow Daoist Lin Qingyue from the Ziyang Sword Sect. He also happens to be from Qingjing Town. Didn't Senior Martial Uncle Lan live there for a while?"

The smile on Xuanfeng Immortal Venerable's face faded a little. "Shoujing must have remembered it wrongly. Ah Lan has never left Nanzhou. How could he have made friends with this fellow Daoist Lin in such a wild place like Xizhou?"

He Shoujing knew he had said the wrong thing and changed the subject: "By the way, is Senior Sister Dong still awake?"

Two monks in green robes and long hair came out of the dungeon holding pipa. They first saluted to the Immortal Xuanfeng and said, "How are you, Immortal Xuanfeng?", and then nodded to He Shoujing and others.

"Reporting to Junior Master, Dong Mingzhu's consciousness is very strong and difficult to break through. She is still in a coma."

"It will take the two of us three more hours to break through her consciousness."

"Three hours is a long time." Xuanfeng Immortal Venerable: "Shoujing, please come. I can't wait any longer."

"As ordered."

The monks retreated to both sides, keeping quiet and making room.

He Shoujing waved his hand, and the Yupanqin gradually emerged. The others focused their eyes on him.

There was no sign of nervousness on his face. He flicked his fingers casually a few times, and the tone of his voice actually said, "I'm about to start."

Lin Qingyue thought she had misheard, but when she heard the old woman laughing and saying that He Shoujing was naughty, she realized she had not misheard.

However, the next second when the first syllable sounded, Lin Qingyue felt that all the sounds around her disappeared, and it seemed as if only she and He Shoujing were left in the world.

He Shoujing sat in front of her, looking gentlemanly and dignified, as if he had become the same side of him that she had seen when she first met him.

The piano music captivated the mind and completely invaded Dong Mingzhu's heart before the song was halfway through. However, no one had the heart to interrupt the melodious music until the end.

Xuanfeng Immortal Venerable was the only person who was not affected. She looked at He Shoujing with eyes full of pride and a bit of regret.

If she had raised Jinlian before, she might have a son of extraordinary talent now.

It’s just a pity that He Yun, one of the golden lotus seeds, was obsessed with love and could not wait to grow up.

"Thank you all for listening." He Shoujing brushed away the jade zither and stood up.

"You have advanced again." said Fu Weisheng, who had been listening for a long time.

He Shoujing: "Hehe, is he better than your brother?"

Fu Weisheng: "You're not going to participate in the Qianshan Dao Discussion, so how can we compare who's better?"

He Shoujing: "The fighting and killing in Qianshan Lundao is not suitable for us, the sound cultivators."

Xuanfeng Immortal Venerable: "Okay, let's first see what good things Miss Dong has done over the years."

Xuanfeng didn't want the scandal to spread, so he asked everyone to leave. The two female cultivators who were holding the pipa secretly glanced at He Shoujing, hugged the pipa tightly and hurried away.

As for what good things Dong Mingzhu can do?

After everyone finished reading her memories of this life, the temperature around them dropped to below zero degrees Celsius.

"Great." Lin Qingyue said to the Dust-Breaking System in his mind.

Dust-Breaking System: "I didn't expect he was still alive."

Lin Qingyue chuckled: "You know, you're setting a trap for me."
