After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 354: Close before your eyes

After Jiang Wanying and others left, Lin Chuan was the only one left standing alone in the empty stage.

"Since you've obtained that forbidden immortal weapon, you shouldn't enter the treasury anymore. Is that okay with you?"

Li Jun raised his eyes and looked at Lin Chuan with a calm expression, and his tone contained a sense of brooking no room for argument.

He naturally had his own reasons for not letting Lin Chuan into the treasury. If anyone else entered the treasury, it would be hard for them to get any heavenly treasures, let alone immortal artifacts. But Lin Chuan...

Li Jun always felt that this kid was too weird. Putting him in the treasure house was like throwing a mouse into a rice jar.

"Disciple has no objection."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan immediately clasped his hands together and responded respectfully.

"That's good. In that case, return the Qingluan Pagoda I gave you for protection, and then go back."

Li Jun looked calm. He stretched out his right hand with his palm facing up, signaling Lin Chuan to return the treasure.

"Qingluan Tower? What Qingluan Tower? I have never seen it before."

Lin Chuan frowned slightly, his eyes were full of confusion, his face was full of innocence, and he spread his hands and said.

"???"

"You can't unleash the power of this Qingluan Pagoda, so why do you keep it?"

Li Jun frowned and asked unhappily.

"Disciple truly does not know what the Azure Luan Pagoda you are speaking of is."

Lin Chuan spread his hands slightly, his face looked very innocent, he looked directly at Li Jun with frank eyes, and spoke sincerely.

"You kid..."

Li Jun was about to speak when he was interrupted by Xu Hanyi beside him.

"Since Chuan'er likes it, I'll exchange it for this magic sword."

Xu Hanyi's voice was cold. After he finished speaking, he took out a long sword from the material space. The sword was filled with coldness. The air around it instantly condensed, and wisps of white mist lingered around the sword.

Li Yue on the other side, originally holding two ninth-grade pills in her hand, paused and silently put the pills back.

"..."

"Tell me, kid, what benefits do you want this time?"

Li Jun silently pushed back Xu Hanyi's magic sword, his face full of helplessness. He looked at Lin Chuan, quietly circulated his spiritual power, and spoke using the art of voice transmission.

"I want to ask the Holy Lord, when did you start plotting against Xiaoxiao?"

Lin Chuan stared at Li Jun with sharp eyes.

"Before you and Wanying left Tianjian Peak, I went to see her with a bucket of spirit fish. I found her sitting by the stream, wiping her tears and feeling ashamed of herself for being so weak."

"She is half-demon. She can neither inherit bloodlines like the demons nor be close to the great Dao of heaven and earth like humans. So I led her to the Ten Thousand Demons Tomb, thinking that she might be able to obtain a share of the inheritance for me."

"As for the calculation you mentioned, it's more appropriate to say that it was an accidental planting of willows that led to a good harvest."

Li Jun narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke slowly.

"..."

"Disciple suddenly remembered that I did pick up something a few days ago. I wonder if it is the Qingluan Tower that the Holy Lord mentioned."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuan raised his hand and gently waved it, and a small and exquisite pagoda flew towards Li Jun. Inside the pagoda, a purple gilded token lay quietly.

"You kid, you don't want anything else? It's not like you."

Li Jun quickly put away the Qingluan Tower and looked at Lin Chuan with suspicion in his eyes.

"Then the Holy Lord asked me to go to the treasury and pick one?"

Lin Chuan raised the corners of his lips slightly and spoke slowly.

"..."

"How about this, if you ever get tired of staying at Tianjian Peak, come find me and I can take you out for some fun."

Li Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"Just take me out to play? Can you be more dishonest?"

Lin Chuan curled his lips, his eyes showing disapproval.

"Hey! You'll know how good I am later on."

Li Jun didn't explain much, he just flashed away and left.

"If Chuan'er likes the Qingluan Pagoda, I will help you get it. Why bother returning it?"

Xu Hanyi's voice was soft, with a hint of concern.

Lin Chuan tilted his head slightly, only to find that she had quietly come to his side without him noticing. She was wearing a white dress that swayed in the wind, and her face was cold yet gentle.

"Disciple doesn't like the Qingluan Tower. Besides, it's an immortal weapon. It's useless for me to have it now."

Lin Chuan shook his head, a faint smile appeared on his face, and said seriously.

"What treasure does Chuan'er like? I'll go find it for you."

Xu Hanyi nodded slightly, his eyes full of doting, and asked softly.

"My favorite treasure..."

Lin Chuan gently grabbed Xu Hanyi's hand, leaned closer, and whispered in her ear:

"Far away, yet so close."

The warm breath gently brushed past Xu Hanyi's ears, causing her body to tremble slightly, and a faint blush instantly appeared on her fair cheeks.

"Traitor...traitor, go back and talk."

She turned her head away in panic, subconsciously grabbed Lin Chuan's hand, and rushed towards Tianjian Peak.

……

Fulong State.

The aftermath of the volcanic eruption is still there. Even with the intervention of immortals, the diffuse volcanic ash still shrouds the entire country in a gray haze. The air is filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, and the people live in fear and anxiety.

The unexpected death of the old king plunged the country into a power vacuum.

There was no will designating the successor, and various forces were ready to move, fighting openly and secretly for the throne.

"stop!"

Outside an attic covered by thick volcanic ash, where the plaque could not be seen clearly, two guards shouted coldly and quickly stretched out their arms to stop a woman in a yellow dress.

Qiu frowned, full of doubts. He looked up at the two guards and asked, "What happened to this brothel? Why was it closed down?"

"Get out!"

The guard had a stern face and a cold expression. He turned a deaf ear to Qiu's questions and shouted in a cold voice.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Qiu didn't waste any more words. He raised his hand and waved it. The two guards didn't even have a chance to react before they fell straight back and hit the ground heavily.

"Beauty, run quickly, or you'll become food."

As Qiu stepped into the building, he heard a frivolous voice.

Following the sound, I saw a man in brocade clothes leaning on a soft couch, looking relaxed, as if the chaos in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Not far away, a graceful woman was hiding from a ferocious dog with a look of panic on her face.

"Ouch~"

With a shrill scream, the vicious dog, which was originally aggressive, turned into a pool of blood with a "puff" sound and splashed to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"You... who are you? Master Wang, come and save me."

Seeing this, the man on the couch lost all color in his face, his eyes widened in horror, and his voice trembled.

"Fellow Daoist, according to the rules of the immortal cultivation world, cultivators are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the mortal world. If they offend..."

An old man in the early Jindan stage hurried over. Before he could finish his words, a sharp sword energy flashed by. Blood spurted out from the old man's neck, and his head fell to the ground instantly. The rest of his words also dissipated in the wind.
