Celestial being

Xi Dongliu came to a secret room in the courtyard behind with a livid face.

Before entering, he adjusted his mood, then knocked on the door and walked in.

In the secret room, there was an exquisite white jade incense burner placed on a table, with a green incense stick inserted diagonally inside, burning slowly, with smoke rising.

Next to the white jade incense burner, there is a piece of white rice paper pressed on the left and right sides of the paperweight. A young man wearing a white robe embroidered with gold patterns is drawing a beautiful figure of a woman on the paper with a pen.

The young man has a handsome appearance and a good demeanor. Just standing there with a pen in hand makes people think of the word "Fengshenyuxiu".

And the woman in his painting is even more beautiful, refined and lifelike.

"Young Master Ximen." Xi Dongliu saluted the man and said.

The man stopped what he was doing and looked back at Xi Dongliu with a gentle smile on his face.

"Uncle Xi, come here and see how my painting is?" the handsome young man said.

Hearing this, Xi Dongliu immediately walked up and looked at the drawing paper with admiration in his eyes.

"The appearance is only 70% similar, but the charm is 90%. I didn't expect that after not seeing Xi Yatou for so many years, Young Master Ximen can still draw such a painting that is so close to the real person. It shows how infatuated you are." Xi Dongliu praised, stroking his palms. road.

The handsome young man called "Ximen Young Master" by Xi Dongliu, named "Ximen Rui", is the most beloved heir of Jiuyin Venerable, the head of the six great lords of Wuyue Sect.

"My feelings for Xi Ying have never changed, but I don't know what she thinks?" Young Master Ximen said with a sad look on his face.

"Girl Xi's thoughts are always difficult to guess, but I believe that with her discerning eyes, how could she not understand the sincerity of Young Master Ximen? Besides, everyone in our Xi family also believes that you two are a perfect match made in heaven. ." Xi Dongliu said.

After hearing this, Ximen Rui's sad expression disappeared and turned to joy.

"Second Uncle Xi, how strong is the young man who came back with Xi Ying?" Ximen Rui straightened his expression and asked.

"That guy is a little weird..." Xi Dongliu didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Huh? How many drinks has he had?" Ximen Rui frowned.

The pot of Bipolar Immortal Brew was actually given to Xi Dongliu by him to test Yuan Ming's strength.

Xi Dongliu raised a finger.

"After only one drink, I should have reached the Nascent Soul realm, but at most I have just broken through, and the realm has not yet been completely stabilized." Ximen Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

If Yuan Ming was just a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul, he would not take him seriously at all.

"No, I only drank one cup of that pot of Liangji Immortal Brew, and he drank the rest." Xi Dongliu shook his head and said with a wry smile.

Hearing this, Ximen Rui's pupils shrank slightly, and the smile that just appeared at the corner of his mouth was a little stiff, showing an unbelievable look.

"You said he almost drank all the pot of Bipolar Immortal Brew?" Ximen Rui couldn't help but confirm again, his voice becoming a little louder.

"Not only did he drink up the Liji Immortal Brew, but from the beginning to the end, his expression was natural, without any strange look on his face, and he didn't even blush." ​​Xi Dongliu said.

"In this case, he is most likely a senior monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and he may also be an accomplished physical practitioner with good physical fitness." After the initial surprise, Ximen Rui immediately returned to normal. , and began to analyze.

"I think so too." Xi Dongliu nodded in agreement.

Ximen Rui frowned slightly and said nothing.

At this moment, Xi Dongliu's expression suddenly changed, and then he showed a look of joy.

"What's wrong?" Ximen Rui asked in surprise.

"Girl Xi is out of seclusion, let's go and greet her." Xi Dongliu said.

"Okay." Ximen Rui was immediately happy.

The two of them soon arrived at the last entrance to the courtyard, and met Xiying who came out of the gate.

After just one glance, Ximen Rui was stunned.

How could the pen and ink on his drawing paper outline the sunset in front of him?

I saw that she was wearing an aqua blue dress, and her waterfall-like black hair was just casually pulled up with a wooden hairpin. There was no trace of pink on her face, and she did not wear any decorations on her head. Just her exquisite and flawless face. His face has already made the whole courtyard as bright as spring.

Her slightly cold temperament added a hint of chill to the spring scenery, making her look extraordinarily worldly, as if she were a nine-day fairy living alone in Toad Palace, untainted by any dust.

"Girl Xi..." Even Xi Dongliu looked surprised.

Ximen Rui couldn't help but swallowed, and was woken up by Xi Dongliu's soft call.

"Xiaoying, congratulations on your successful release from seclusion. This is a treasure that I spent many years finding from overseas. It can be regarded as a gift of congratulations from me." He immediately went up to him and held out the treasure. A snow-white orb the size of a fist.

The orb is similar to a clam bead, but it contains extremely rich and majestic water-attribute spiritual power like the sea. It is obvious at a glance that it is a priceless treasure.

The clinker Xiying didn't even look at it. He only said hello to Xidongliu and asked:

"Second uncle, where did you place Yuan Daoyou?"

Xi Dongliu didn't react for a while and casually told her the location of Yuan Ming's courtyard.

By the time he reacted, Xiying had already walked out of the courtyard and disappeared.

"Young Master Ximen..." Xi Dongliu said with some embarrassment.

The corners of Ximen Rui's eyes twitched slightly, and then he showed a nonchalant attitude and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter..."

On the other side, Xiying quickly arrived at Yuan Ming's door and knocked on the door.

Yuan Ming had just refined all the spiritual power contained in the Bipolar Immortal Brew, and the blush on his face had not completely faded.

Previously, he had suppressed the power of the immortal wine, and waited until Xi Dongliu left before releasing it. He soon discovered that the power of the wine was more domineering than he expected, and even though his soul was as powerful as his, he still almost fell drunk.

However, after refining, his benefits were also very obvious. The extremely hot power in the Bipolar Immortal Brew was somewhat similar to the power of the sun of the Golden Crow True Fire, which was of great benefit to his physical improvement.

Yuan Ming's whole body was steaming as he opened the door and saw the beautiful figure of the woman standing outside.

Even though he was as determined as he was, he was dazed for a moment, thinking he saw a fairy from the Heavenly Palace.

It's funny to say that in Yuan Ming's understanding, the Nine Heavens Fairy should have a natural appearance without any makeup, rather than a silk fairy dress or a luxurious attire with jewels.

It was precisely because of this that Yuan Ming was briefly stunned.

"Xi Ying?" But soon, he came back to his senses and asked with some uncertainty.

He had never seen Xi Ying's real body. In the past, she always appeared in front of him as Xiao Ying. Therefore, Yuan Ming was still a little uncomfortable when this name overlapped with her own.

Xiying suddenly smiled, and that trace of coldness melted away instantly, leaving only her moving appearance.

While Yuan Ming was greatly surprised, his face, which was slightly red just now due to his luck, suddenly became even redder.

So much so that he didn't even have time to check the changes in Xiying's aura.

"Let's go to Red Lotus Island." Xiying's smile faded and she said.

"good."

Although it was a bit sudden, Yuan Ming did not hesitate at all.

After that, the two of them left the side courtyard and walked outside the manor.

But when the two of them had just walked out of the third courtyard, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a dark purple robe standing there. He had a resolute face, sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes, and a short beard. His whole body had a calm and quite aura. There is a tiger-like situation.

Xiying frowned the moment she saw the middle-aged man.

What Yuan Ming read from the subtle expression on her face was not disgust, but a sigh, as if to say "Oops".

"Dad." Xiying said.

The middle-aged man was none other than Xiying's father, Xi Zheng.

"Do you still know that I am your father?" Xi Zheng asked in a low voice.

"Dad, I..."

Before Xiying finished speaking, he saw his father walking past him.

"Come with me." Xi Zheng's words sounded, with a majesty that could not be refused.

Xiying had no choice but to give a slight nod to Yuan Ming, and then followed him silently with light steps.

The three of them came to a banquet hall and saw Xi Dongliu and Ximen Rui waiting there.

"Uncle Xi." Seeing this, Ximen Rui immediately greeted him eagerly.

Xi Zheng's stern face suddenly relaxed, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Young Master Ximen, I have kept you waiting for a long time."

"It doesn't matter, today is a happy day for Xiaoying to come out of isolation. It doesn't matter how long we wait." Ximen Rui said quickly.

"It would be great if Xiaoying had such general knowledge as you." Xi Zheng sighed and said.

Xiying frowned slightly, suppressing her displeasure, and caught up and said, "Dad, I have something important to do and I have to leave temporarily."

"Even if you have something big to do, you can't leave today." Xi Zheng glanced at her and wrote lightly.

Xi Ying still wanted to argue, but Xi Zheng had already set his sights on Yuan Ming and asked, "Who is this fellow Taoist?"

"Junior Yuan Ming, a casual cultivator from the East China Sea." Seeing him asking, Yuan Ming had no choice but to say.

"He is mine." Xiying said proactively, not wanting him to ask too many questions.

Unexpectedly, after hearing that Yuan Ming said that he was just a casual cultivator from the East China Sea, Xi Zheng lost interest in continuing to ask questions, and turned to Ximen Rui and asked:

"How is your father doing?"

"Father, he has been busy with the teaching affairs and couldn't get away from it. Originally, he wanted to come together this time. He has wanted to meet Xiaoying a long time ago." Ximen Rui said, not forgetting to glance at Xiying again.

"Logically speaking, we older generations should not get involved in the affairs of young people, but I am very satisfied with you, and it is right for your father to want to see Xiaoying. He is busy with his affairs, so he still has to put the religion first. I will give it another day Take Xiaoying to visit him." Xi Zheng said with a gentle expression.

"Uncle Xi is willing to come to the door in person. It is an honor for this junior. I believe my father will be very happy if he knows." Ximen Rui said excitedly after hearing this.

"In the past, Xiying was in retreat, and you rarely met each other. This time, you must get along well." Xi Zheng said.

"That's natural. This junior can only ask for it." Ximen Rui became even happier.

Xiying frowned when she heard this, but she didn't say anything to refute.

Yuan Ming was left aside by Xi Zheng, listening to the conversation between him and Ximen Rui, and looking at Ximen Rui's handsome face, he unconsciously felt a sense of disgust.
