The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 850 - 468: Perfect Matchmaker? (Part 2)
Impossible? Then what was it yesterday when he stared at her back, making it cold? Jiu Mo felt indignant and whispered, "I understand." She secretly vowed, soldiers will block, originally turning from sect leader to someone else’s servant was humiliating enough, if this damned man tries any tricks, her Poison Phoenix is not to be trifled with! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
That night they missed a place to stop, so the caravan had to camp in the wild.
Dou Er tried his best, but the carriage he bought in a hurry wasn’t as comfortable as the bronze cart. Fortunately, most of the maids got off at county towns along the way. Now there were only two pretty girls left in the caravan who hadn’t been arranged to leave, so more and more empty carriages were being used to disguise as cargo.
Xu Liangyu, being a grown man, naturally had to be the first to yield when a couple bickered. So at this point, he was already apologizing to Hu Huo’er with a sincere expression, slightly easing Miss Hu’s anger. The two sat by the fire, engaging in conversation for a while.
Tantai Yi shook the half-filled gourd and took a sip. This wine was bought from Ning Xiaoxian that afternoon. That little girl seemed very leisurely, and brewed wines with seven or eight flavors, each surprisingly good. This time the wine he got had a faint osmanthus fragrance, smooth down the throat, making it hard to stop.
Ha, wine into the sorrowful intestines.
He couldn’t help but recall Ning Xiaoxian’s recent words to him: "Brother Tantai, have you made up your mind? There’s still time now." She said word by word, "If you don’t act fast, Sister Huo’er will belong to someone else."
He routinely kept silent. Ha, could Hu Huo’er ever be his?
"Brother Tantai, drinking alone again?" At this moment, Dou Er also came over to greet him, sitting beside him and initiating casual conversation, seeming very enthusiastic. Since the journey was about to end, Dou Er appeared relaxed.
He knew that cultivators like Dou Er, with low personal strength, wouldn’t miss the chance to form ties with high-level cultivators. Although he didn’t dislike this person, this time Hu Huo’er came eagerly to capture people, the fight was lively, yet the retreat wasn’t planned thoroughly, Dou Er contributed greatly.
Once they struck up a conversation, he found that Dou Er was not only witty and appropriate but also had rich experience and insight. Unknowingly, Tantai Yi engaged in a deep conversation with him. By the time his gaze returned to Hu Huo’er’s position, the campfire had been rekindled twice.
His gaze froze instantly, and his heart rate suddenly increased.
That spot was empty.
No matter how badly Hu Huo’er bickered with him along the way, she’d never left his sight. So where was she now? Crucially, Xu Liangyu was with her.
Dou Er saw his gaze begin to drift and knew his task was complete, promptly making some polite remarks and taking his leave. Passing Ning Xiaoxian’s carriage, he looked at the pair of bright eyes peeking out and mouthed silently, "Mission Accomplished."
Ning Xiaoxian exhaled deeply, "Reached this far, should be seventy to eighty percent complete, huh? It’s the critical moment next." Despite saying this, she leisurely poured a glass of Spiritual Wine and began tasting it. Of course, this wine didn’t have osmanthus fragrance.
Changtian exclaimed curiously, "You’re not going to spy?"
Ning Xiaoxian spat lightly, responding righteously, "What a joke. Sister Huo’er is my good friend, how can I treat her like that?"
Chang Tian muttered "Oh," falling quiet.
After a while, he spoke again, "The Gu Ying Mirror you set up, does it have playback functionality?"
"Pfft!" she almost choked, "What Gu Ying Mirror?!" When she placed the Gu Ying Mirror, she clearly found a reason to disable the Demon Eye first! How could this guy know?
He solemnly advised her, "Being selfish is bad for your health."
The implied threat in these words was so thick it made her spine cold.
Thinking it over, if she didn’t comply, she’d only have worse luck later on. So she had to first set up a barrier, then reached out to cast a spell, and the air immediately rippled. Once the water pattern settled, it had transformed into a highly clear mirror. The Divine Arts she used were from Changtian, being of high rank, hence this Gu Ying Mirror Technique was particularly concealed. Besides, those two were busy then, they likely wouldn’t notice the mystery within the carriage, right?
Changtian tossed back her own words at her slowly, "Didn’t you say Hu Huo’er was your good friend, how can you bear to set the Gu Ying Mirror to watch?"
"Good friends also must account clearly!" she remained righteous, "In order to matchmake them, Tu Jin has painstakingly manipulated the puppets for half a month. My Love-saving Fragrance and homemade fine wine were also contributed gratuitously. The materials and labor within are indeed costly!"
"Besides, this is my first use after crafting Love Rejuvenation. As a responsible Pill Master, I have the obligation to observe the clinical presentation to improve the medication and enhance its efficacy in the future!" The more she spoke, the more justified she seemed, secretly admiring how she was nearly fooling herself.
Changtian remained silent. He didn’t know what to say, while beside him, Qiongqi shook its head, chiming, "The master’s words are indeed insightful and reasonable! Can’t let those two get a free ride, as they say, even the goose must be plucked as it flies... ow, it hurts!" From the Demon Eye came a clattering sound, presumably Changtian found its words more and more improper and gave it a reprimand.
She glimpsed two figures appearing in the Gu Ying Mirror, "Ah, they came in. The show begins!"
Within the small space of the carriage, her assessments began to echo, "Tu Jin is really performing well." (To be continued.
