As soon as the New Year passed, the young disciples left Shaoyang Mountain one after another to train.

On the third day, Xuanji Linglong and the others left as well. There was no specific place to go, but they were not allowed to return to the Shaoyang Sect during the year.

The three of them stayed in an inn at the bottom of the mountain for the night to discuss their future itinerary.

“Why don’t we go to Fuyu Island first?” Ling Long is so excited, that she doesn’t feel like going down the mountain is for practice, but more like an outing.

Zhong Minyan has just finished practicing his Yaohua swordplay and his hair is dripping with sweat. He leaned over to look at the map she drew, and shook his head. “Don’t go there. We’re not going out for fun. Why don’t we decide where we want to go first and find out where the evil spirits and monsters are?”

Ling Long played with her braids hanging on her chest and pouted, “But I want to see Uncle Dongfang! Besides, Xuanji didn’t even see Uncle Dongfang’s wife last time. She promised to visit us someday. Xuanji, you want to go too, don’t you?”

She hastened to pull an alliance.

Xuanji looked at the map, studied it for a while, and said, “Fuyu Island is in the east, it would only take us half a day to go there with our swords. I have an idea. Why don’t we give up the sword and use our feet to go there on the way? It would be a few months on the road, and I might be able to get news about the demons and outlaws causing trouble.”

Ling Long was shocked and said urgently, “How can this be! Walk on your feet… how long will it take! If there’s no inn on the way, no place to bathe…it’s filthy, I don’t want to! Little Six~~ you said so!”

She went to recruit Zhong Min Yan as her ally again.

But Zhong Minyan didn’t even help her. After a long while, he nodded and said, “Xuanji’s idea is not bad, let’s do it. The only thing is that we have to cross the sea to get there, and then we can fly up there with our swords. Where there is land, we will walk slowly. This will be an experience, Linglong.”

When she saw that no one was helping her, she kept quiet and went back to her room.

“Sixth Brother, my sister’s temper comes and goes quickly, so it’s not good to be left alone. Go and persuade her.”

Xuanji poured herself a cup of tea and added the names of places that Linglong hadn’t written on the map while talking.

But after waiting for a while, no one said anything, so she looked up in surprise and saw that Zhong Minyan was looking at her. She was taken aback, “What’s wrong?”

Zhong Minyan smiled and said, “No, I think…you have changed a lot, Xuanji.”

Xuanji subconsciously touched her face and said, “I……. people will definitely change when they grow up.”

She thought that Zhong Minyan had said that she had changed a lot in appearance.

Zhong Minyan shook his head and said softly, “It’s not about appearance. It seems that your temper, which used to be a headache, has been restrained and you seem to know a lot of things. It seems that Teacher Hong has taught you a lot.”

Xuan Ji didn’t say anything and looked down at the map she was drawing, as if she suddenly realized that he was right. Inadvertently, she seemed to have really learned a lot. Before, she didn’t understand due to focusing on the map, but now she realised it.

Zhong Min Yan said slowly, “I still remember the last time we went to Deer Mountain to catch demons and you were so desperate for help. Even Sifeng had a headache…”

When it came to Si Feng, both of them were silent.

It was only a little while ago that Xuanji asked carefully, “Sixth Brother…have you and Si Feng had any contact with each other in recent years?”

Zhong Minyan was startled, and suddenly said. “No…what about you? I remember Sifeng reminded Ling Long many times and asked you to write to him when you recovered. Did you do it?”

Xuanji’s face turned bitter, and only after a long time did she whisper, “I… forgot.”

“How could you forget?” Zhong Minyan jumped up and finally couldn’t hold back his temper, and revealed his true character. “What a pig head!”

“When I went to Xiaoyang Peak, I remembered that I forgot to ask Linglong how to write to Sifeng…” Xuanji supported her chin on her hand, feeling helpless. “Afterwards, I was so busy learning this and that from my master that I forgot.”

“One really can’t count on you for anything…. Forget it, I’m going up! I don’t want to be pissed off by you!”

Zhong Minyan turned around and left.

Xuanji stopped him, “Then… you can ask Ling Long now!”

Zhong Minyan turned around and smiled mockingly, “It’s been four years, how could she remember it. The two of you…” He pointed to his head and said, “You’re both the same.”

Why didn’t he contact Sifeng himself? Xuanji is very depressed. This is probably what Master said about taking offense. Zhong Minyan is always like this. Even when he is always wrong, but he is always right.

She bowed her head to finish the map and was tired, so she went upstairs to rest.

The next day when she saw Ling Long, she was fine as if nothing had happened. She thought that Zhong Minyan had pacified her yesterday and she was smiling like a flower in the morning.

When she saw Xuanji coming downstairs, she hurriedly waved her hand, “Xuanji! Here, here, here! Let’s go after breakfast, shall we?”

Xuanji took out the map from his bosom and looked at it. He said, “If we go east, we have to cross the River first. After crossing the river, there should be a town and we’ll see what’s there.”

“Okay! As you wish.” Linglong’s smile is so sweet, it’s different from yesterday.

Zhong Minyan is really capable. She looks up at him and he pretends not to know, but he tries to drink his soymilk and ends up choking and coughing desperately.

“Look at you, you’re not even a good eater.” Linglong quickly helped him by patting his back, as is she was a good wife and mother.

Zhong Minyan’s cough hasn’t stopped. Suddenly, two or three men in dusty clothes are walking outside the inn. One of them walks to the shopkeeper and asks, “Excuse me, how many days are there to Shaoyang Mountain from here?”

The three of them, hearing his accent, sounded like a foreigner, and they all looked over there.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, “You are going to Shaoyang Mountain. It’s not far, it’s not far at all, follow the road at the back of the town, walk for about two or three day, and you will see the main gate of the Shaoyang Sect. I’m not sure if this is because there are some evil spirits in your town, so have come to ask the cultivators from Shaoyang to get rid of them?”

The man sighed and shook his head repeatedly, “Exactly, we are from the eastern town of Wangxian. A few days ago, the town was haunted by ghosts and wolves that could be heard wailing in the middle of the night. The town has been haunted for more than three months, and the old and the weak, women and children have been sick and dying, and this cannot go on. Later, a monk told us that the Shaoyang Sect at Shaoyang Mountain is a famous place for cultivation, so we came here to ask the cultivators to expel the ghosts.”

The shopkeeper said, “Well, I’ve only heard about the eternal magic of yin and yang, but not about ghosts and spirits. If it’s a demon that’s haunting you, the cultivators on the mountain are good at it. If we are talking about exorcising ghosts, I am afraid that…”

A voice from the back of the room said, “We’d like to exorcise ghosts from your town! Please come over and tell us about them.”

The crowd hurriedly looked and saw three young men and women sitting in the lobby, with handsome faces and good temperament.

They were Xuanji and the others. Xuanji heard that they were from Wang Xian Town, so she checked the map and found that they were in the east, which was the same as their itinerary. Linglong is also a lively person. She heard that they were going to exorcise ghosts, so she quickly summoned them.

Seeing that they were wearing swords on their waists, the travelers thought those people must have been wise people, so they hurried over to greet and introduce each other. It turned out that the three of them were brothers, all surnamed Zhao.

Zhong Minyan cupped his fist and said, “We are Shaoyang’s disciples who have gone down to the mountains for training. We ask Uncle Zhao to elaborate on the haunting situation. If we can help, we will naturally do our best.”

The oldest Zhao sighed, “The shopkeeper said just now that immortal cultivators are not too familiar with exorcising ghosts…”

Ling Long interrupted him with a smile, “Hey, you can’t say that! As the saying goes, “Seeing is believing.” If we don’t take a look, how do we know if we are going to do it or not? Let’s talk about the situation first.”
