My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 404 Abduction

The man in white robe can clearly feel the changes in himself at this moment. Although his essence has not changed, his appearance has changed into a... a very strange creature?

She exhausted her memory but could not find a "creature" that matched it. With her status and knowledge, there was almost nothing she didn't know. She even had some knowledge of some ancient secret beasts, so it was not that she had never heard of them...

No, not only had I never heard of the "thing" I was now, I had never even "imagined" it? It was as if this creature... shouldn't exist in this world.

The gilded amber eyes widened into a circle, the cherry-blush on the cheeks became brighter, and the iconic plum blossom hair accessories trembled, revealing the owner's mood at the moment.

She is Yin Li, the direct disciple of the owner of Huayinfang. Since she was accepted as a disciple many years ago, she has been devoted to cultivation and is ignorant of worldly affairs. Due to her special physique, she seldom communicates with others after awakening, and no one has ever noticed her existence. Even in Huayinfang, only very few people know about her existence.

A few days ago, she was still practicing seriously, but her master suddenly appeared and said that an ordinary elder in the academy had lost contact with another newly joined elder for some unknown reason?

Let her go out to investigate the situation. Once the investigation is clear, she should report back promptly. She must not linger. If there is an accident, it is best to leave. Do not act on your own and cause trouble.

She didn't think much about it. She took the order from her master and rushed to Yunzhou Yunxia City. After a few days, she got some clues. Gradually, the clues were traced to the two mortals.

She had originally planned to go straight to the door to find out what was going on, but before she even entered the door, her spiritual sense suddenly gave her a warning that there was danger inside.

At this time, she should have noticed the abnormality, then listened to her master's words, reported to her master in time, and finally escaped safely.

But she suddenly had an idea and relied on her physical condition to live next door and monitor the situation inside.

After a period of monitoring, she discovered that there were not only the two mortals inside, but also a monk of unknown strength! This made her believe that the disappearance of the two elders of Huayinfang must be closely related to this monk.

At this point, her mission was perfectly completed, and she only needed to go back and report, but she lost her mind again. She became curious when she saw that the monk with unpredictable strength was chatting happily with a mortal, just like a good friend.

It was this curiosity that drove her not to report to her master immediately, but to remain dormant and continue to monitor.

So, after a few days of surveillance, it was discovered that this monk did nothing every day, did not practice or meditate, but instead spent the whole day walking around, playing with birds, and making jokes. He also played chess with mortals with such a terrible character that he did not even abide by the ethics of martial arts and secretly cheated?

After a few days, she had gained nothing and was full of complaints. Finally, when she couldn't hold it back any longer, the monk noticed her and that's how it happened today...

After thinking it over, she showed up. She had a lot to say, but the monk in front of her didn't even look at her? Even after she sat down, he ignored her? How could this be! How dare he ignore me!

So she didn't say anything and just stared at the other person coldly.

Just as she was staring at the other person coldly, wanting to use her special physique to see what he was thinking, an accident happened!

Her appearance had turned into something weird, strange, yet inexplicably attractive? Not like an ordinary person.

Obviously, she should be afraid of this kind of creature, after all, the unknown is scary, but for some reason, she has an inexplicable feeling towards this kind of creature, as if... she has a faint yearning for it?

However, this did not affect her astonishment at the moment.

"What did you do? What is this?!"

The male cultivator sitting opposite her just smiled and said something inexplicable like "How cute?" which made her feel even more strange.

…………

Jiang Yanyan smiled and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar two-dimensional character in front of her, feeling a sense of emotion. Of course, there was also a little excitement.

After all... only this kind of character that belongs to one's own imagination can be embodied in one's eyes. It is ultimately not as good as this if it is created in the three-dimensional world using the methods of the immortal cultivation world.

After all... you can transform into a two-dimensional character, but you can't transform the surrounding environment as well, right?

Seeing the other person's mouth open and her gilded amber eyes wide open with pure confusion, he understood what was going on and at the same time, his own bad taste was satisfied.

I don't know when the hand that was holding the jade bell at his waist loosened up and let it go. He moved in a relaxed and casual manner, as if he didn't care who the other person was.

He spoke in a leisurely tone:

"Tell me, little Walnut, why did you jump out of the painting to find me? Are you taking me to Teyvat?"

Yin Li felt very confused. Although her little brain was filled with knowledge, she couldn't understand what the monk was saying. What walnut? What came out of a painting? What Tiwata?

When searching for the term "brain crash", the outward manifestation is that one sits upright with the same posture and expression as when he first arrived, without moving a muscle.

If it had been what happened just now, Jiang Yan would have thought that the other party was sent by Huayinfang to cause trouble, and he could have gone ahead with the original plan. However, when he noticed the other party's momentary confusion and the clear look in his eyes that was not tainted by the world (stupid), he put the original plan aside.

Because he was somewhat doubtful whether the person in front of him was sent by Huayinfang?

"This little walnut has been following me and monitoring me for three days. It's hard to say that she wasn't sent by Huayinfang. But if she was really sent by Huayinfang..."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but take another look at the two-dimensional "Hu Tao" in front of him who maintained a "static beauty" and shook his head again: "It must be a misunderstanding. How could she be someone from Hua Yin Fang? If she was really sent by Hua Yin Fang, I'm afraid any old fox could kidnap her."

He and Shen Ming conducted a series of analyses based on all known intelligence half a month ago and came to the following conclusions.

1: From the voices of the crowd, we know that Lin Wanyue has a special status and may be related to the abbot. The specific connection can be tentatively determined as cultivating demon seeds. The evidence is that Lin Wanyue carries a special sachet that can be used to seal, suppress, store, and cultivate those twelve-legged demon seed silkworms.

Second: This relationship cannot be seen in public and needs to be carried out in secret. The evidence is that Shen Ming searched Yunxia City and Huayin Pavilion and found that most of the female cultivators in Huayin Pavilion only practiced the way of collecting and replenishing, and did not know much about the Pavilion Master. In the case of Pei Mengmeng, it was usually the Pavilion Master who personally selected her, and the servants also believed that she practiced the way of collecting and replenishing.

3: The internal structure of Huayinfang is similar to equity investment. No matter your background or experience, as long as you have the ability, you may be offered an olive branch, similar to the many independent cultivators.

Combining the above points, Jiang Yan came up with a new plan in his mind, which was to stop disguising himself and openly reveal his cards, waiting for Huayinfang to come and investigate.

At that time, he only needs to show his own strength and role, and with the addition of the demon species left by Lin Wanyue, he will have a basis for negotiation.

How much can be negotiated afterwards depends on each party’s bargaining chips.

As for why Jiang Yan had to come? This was because the things cultivated in Huayin Pavilion had a certain restraining relationship with Shen Ming. Even when facing Lin Wanyue, Shen Ming was hiding in the dark and did not dare to act rashly.

This time, facing the unknown visitor to Huayinfang, Jiang Yan would certainly not let Shen Ming show up.

As for his own safety, the clothes on his body contained a magical power of Shen Ming. Jiang Yan didn't know what it worked for but he felt safe.

The jade bell on the waist holds Shen Ming's divine consciousness, which can be used at any time to attack the enemy by surprise when necessary. Escape can be done at any time, and defense against the enemy can be done at any time using the new infinite living character array made by Shen Ming.

It can be said that they are armed to the teeth.

After waiting for so many days, this is what I got.

Really...

Jiang Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip. Only three breaths had passed.

If the two sides were fighting, this amount of time would be enough to kill her several times.

It was only at this point that Yin Li finally reacted.

With a blank expression on her face, she tapped her hands on the table and a pleasant voice rang out.

"You fool me!"

Jiang Yan spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.

"Unfair, where did I trick you?"

Yin Li frowned, her expression serious.

"You look so familiar with me that you must have recognized me, but you deliberately called me by the wrong name. And just now I thought of the names of all the states and counties in Xuanqing Continent in my mind, and Teyvat didn't come up at all."

"I……"

Snapped!

Jiang Yan straightened his back, frowned like Yin Li, tapped the table with a serious expression, and said in the same tone:

"You fool me!"

Yin Li blinked her gilded amber eyes, her brain crashed again, her words got stuck in her mouth, and she couldn't help but follow Jiang Yan's words:

"I…I wasn't kidding you."

"You said you knew the names of all the states and counties in Xuanqing Continent. Are you kidding me? Can you guarantee that you didn't miss any of them?!"

"No, I'm not kidding you. I know all the place names in the entire Xuanqing Continent. I update them every year. There's no way I've missed any!"

"I do not believe"

Jiang Yan crossed his arms and looked up, looking like he was saying, "You're a liar, I won't talk to liars," but he was quite shocked inside.

"This little girl's words don't seem false, and she believes in herself. If what she said is true, then it would be a bit strange and scary..."

You know, even the rulers of each state don't know the detailed names of the states under their jurisdiction, let alone all the states. So the question is, why would Huayinfang, a place living in the underground of Jinglan Domain, collect the detailed names of all the states? What are they going to do?

Jiang Yan didn't expect that he could learn such things just by joking, and he began to feel curious.

Yin Li tried to explain but Jiang Yan refused to listen with his nose in the air. He was so angry that he subconsciously exerted force with his hands, and there was a cracking sound!

The table was snapped in half.

'If you have power but cannot control it, you will be deducted 10 points'

Yin Li had no idea that Jiang Yan had already started to rate her in his mind.

She took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. But Jiang Yan pointed at the table.

"?"

"The table is ten taels. I'll only pay for the tea. You can pay the rest yourself."

Yin Li was a little dumbfounded: "What!"

Jiang Yan: "No way, no way, as a cultivator, you wouldn't want to blame a mortal for your debt, would you? Hey~"

Yin Li's face turned red, and when she looked at Hu Tao's face, it was like a volcano erupting, with smoke coming out of her head, which was extremely spectacular.

In fact, any normal monk would not be angry about this, because, I am already a monk, why should I pay? ! It’s good enough not to turn into a crow brother on the spot, but also pay?

I paid for my meals before I became a monk, but now that I am a monk I still have to pay for my meals? Then my cultivation has been in vain, right?

But Yin Li... had been accepted as a disciple by the abbot since she was young, and had been concentrating on practicing Buddhism without ever going out. In addition, her unique physique enabled her to win people's hearts, and she couldn't play together with other people. She was solitary that she was basically immersed in practice and study, and was ignorant of worldly affairs.

This time, her master specifically told her to go out and return as soon as she had gathered enough information. Unfortunately... she didn't listen.

"I! Don't default on my debt!"

With a snap, Yin Li took out a magic weapon of fairly good quality from the storage bag.

Jiang Yan: ? Is this kid mentally retarded or an idiot?

"I don't have any money, so I'll use this as collateral for now. I'll come and get it when I get the money!"

"Huh... I thought you were such a moron..."

"Little Walnut, you've been following me for several days. Are you planning to do something bad?"

After Yin Li calmed down, she stared at Jiang Yan: "My name is Yin Li! Not Hu Tao!"

"But the person I saw was Kurumi, and you didn't show up, and names are too easy to fake. So I don't trust you at all."

"I can't show up in public because of my physical condition."

Intelligence +1

"Oh, right, right, so there's something wrong with me calling you Little Walnut."

Yin Li stopped talking, but her expression looked a little depressed.

At this moment, she felt the hand of the person on the other side reaching out to her, and her master's words instantly flashed through her mind.

"When you go out, be careful not to let anyone get close to you. If you encounter someone with bad intentions, your life may be in danger."

With a trembling heart, he slapped back with his hand and retreated! The surging and violent spiritual energy condensed into a large handprint and smashed down!

There were waves all around, and the wind was so strong that the tables and chairs fell over.

Jiang Yan: Tsk, tsk, tsk, there is no skill in this handprint, it is all numerical value. He did not hold back at all after the attack. If it was like this in a normal fight, I am afraid I would fall down before the fight lasted for a few moments. Well, the fighting method is rubbish, minus another ten points.

Even though I was joking in my heart, I still had to face it seriously.

But facing this unskilled palm, no matter how difficult it was to deal with, it was just a matter of applying leverage on the flaw to stabilize the structure, thus easily dissipating most of the force.

But Jiang Yan still stepped back, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, and fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.

Of course this is just an act.

Simple rhetoric is too slow, Jiang Yan has something more ruthless.

Yin Li obviously didn't know that his palm had already been neutralized, and he thought that he was beaten into his current state by the palm.

With his heart beating slightly, he said to the dead Jiang Yan, "You touched me first, so I'll blame you."

Silence... No one answered...

"Don't try to fool me. I won't be fooled by you again."

Still quiet...

Jiang Yan seemed to be really dying and seriously injured, and his breath was weak.

Yin Li was a little flustered. How could he be killed with just one palm strike? I still have many questions that you haven't answered. How could he die?
