Chapter 175 Step by step
Chapter 175 Step by step
Liya appears to be lively and cheerful, but in fact she is very domineering. She wants everyone to revolve around her. She is always on guard against Wu Na. She often persuades her family members, overtly or covertly, to stop disturbing Wu Na's practice.
It was the first time that the two brothers had such a long conversation with Wu Na. This sister looked cold, but was actually gentle and considerate. This made them feel a little guilty.
As the high priest, Monk is not the most powerful being. But he is the most inviolable saint of the Manta Tribe. This may be enough.
However, being in a high position also has its own difficulties. Only those who have really been in a high position know how difficult this position is.
Only then can Ulan's family stand firm on their feet and cannot rely solely on Monk's protection.
No protection is absolutely perfect.
Yixi is still young, Wulan is now in a state of confusion. Muren is still recovering from his injuries. Wuna can only come to give instructions to her two brothers.
Wu Na didn't disbelieve in Monk's strength. It's just that she also saw Monk's difficulties. As a high priest, Monk couldn't just focus on his family. At the critical moment, Monk couldn't even protect himself. His life belonged to the entire tribe.
The position of high priest is really not easy at all.
If Monk hadn't insisted on Linlang taking his place, Linlang wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this mess.
Linlang's cultivation was not good enough. He preferred military affairs and was fond of coming up with bad ideas. He was happy to use his brain to think of solutions. He had plenty of ideas anyway. But it was too difficult for him to keep a straight face all day and practice seriously.
Unfortunately, none of the other seven people wanted to compete for the position of successor to the high priest.
That's why Linlang wanted to target Yixi.
If Yeshi can take over this position, Linlang can even just be an acting priest, and when Yeshi turns 18, Linlang can simply quit.
Linlang's purpose was clear. He also took the opportunity to test Wu Na's attitude.
Wu Na didn't say much. She just hoped that Yeshi could grow up healthily and happily. As for the future, it all depends on Yeshi's own choice.
If Yeshi is willing, Wu Na will support him. If Yeshi is unwilling, no one can force him. Yeshi is a child who deserves to be loved.
Dharma Protector Linlang liked him very much. Maybe it was because Yeshi had some shadows of Monk. Linlang herself did not expect that he would get along so well with a child. If she did not know his identity, Linlang would have wanted to snatch Yeshi away to be her apprentice.
In this way, even if Yeshi is still young, Linlang can serve as a proxy priest for a while in the name of his master. When Yeshi comes of age, everything will be returned to him. But now his wishful thinking may not be realized.
Meng Xianyu had basically completed what she was going to do today. Although the progress today was not smooth, she finally got what she wanted. It was not bad.
She first went back to tidy up and then came to find Yixi.
Yixi practiced martial arts in the morning, practiced calligraphy in the afternoon, and had a good rest in the evening.
The little man was sitting in the yard with something in his hand.
Meng Xianyu: "Yixi, what are you doing?"
Yixi then raised his head. When he saw that it was Meng Xianyu who came, he immediately smiled happily.
Yixi: "Sister Xianyu"
It’s just that the little guy’s pronunciation was not very clear, and Meng Xianyu felt like he was calling out for salted fish... Well, she can be considered a salted fish who has turned over a new leaf now!
Yixi stood up, and Meng Xianyu quickly walked to his side and sat down. Yixi happily held out his hands to her.
I saw two beautiful stones in the little hands.
Yixi stretched his hand forward again.
Meng Xianyu: "For me?"
Yixi: "Well, you and your sister can have one each."
Meng Xianyu took the stone and looked at it carefully. It turned out that there were words engraved on it, one was "rain" and the other was "witch".
Yixi took out another stone from his pocket, with the word "Xi" engraved on it.
Meng Xianyu: "Did Yixi choose this stone? Did Yixi carve the words?"
Yixi nodded, his face slightly red.
Meng Xianyu put the stone aside and looked at Yixi's little hand. There were many scars on the little hand. It seemed that Yixi had been busy preparing this gift in the past two days.
Meng Xianyu: "Thank you, Yixi. I like it very much. What reward does Yixi want?"
Yeshi: "When Yeshi grows up, can I come to find you?"
Meng Xianyu reached out and held Yixi in her arms, and said "okay" in his ear.
This time Yixi's face turned even redder.
When Wu Na came back, she happened to see this scene. She was a little dazed and could only cough twice.
Meng Xianyu was fine, but Yixi immediately struggled to break free from Meng Xianyu's arms.
Meng Xianyu: "You're back, come quickly, there's a gift! Yixi made it himself"
Wu Na took the gift from Meng Xianyu and thanked Yixi.
The two of them stayed with Yixi for a while, and soon Yixi got tired and fell asleep leaning against Wuna.
After Wu Na settled Yixian down, the two of them returned to the yard together.
Meng Xianyu briefly told Wu Na about what she had gained today, but did not mention a word about the incident in which Amber Protector cursed and caused trouble.
Wu Na told Meng Xianyu that she went to find her two brothers, asked for the nearby topographic map, and explained some things.
Meng Xianyu didn't want to ask more about the matters between the siblings.
Meng Xianyu: "Is there anything urgent tomorrow?"
Wu Na: "Early tomorrow morning, Guardian Linlang asked us to go somewhere with him."
Meng Xianyu: "What?"
Wu Na: "They said they have found a few people with similar body shapes to you and me, and we can arrange it freely when the time comes."
Meng Xianyu: "Is it so complicated?"
Wu Na: "Linlang Guardian is very thoughtful, he must have his reasons."
Meng Xianyu showed a wicked smile, which made Wu Na feel a little puzzled.
Wu Na: "What are you laughing at?"
Meng Xianyu: "Why are you praising him so much today? Did something happen today? Did you two fall in love with each other? Although I, your sister, don't want to suffer that. But if you like him, I will help you to check him out!"
Only then did Wu Na understand what Meng Xianyu meant.
Wu Na: "What nonsense are you talking about! That's impossible!"
Meng Xianyu quickly stopped her, lest Wu Na take it seriously!
Meng Xianyu: "It's just a joke, see you praise him!"
Wu Na: "At least I don't like him at all now. I do admire him a little bit. I admire his thoroughness and thoughtfulness. He is a rare talent. With him around, I believe he will be able to handle it well after we leave. I don't want to bring unnecessary trouble to the priest lineage."
Seeing that Wu Na was speaking so seriously, Meng Xianyu quickly put away her playful smile.
Meng Xianyu: "You don't have to be so nervous at such a young age! Believe me, everything is the best arrangement. Since they are all so outstanding, we don't have to worry about them. We just need to take care of ourselves. Live well and look forward to seeing you again in the future!"
Wu Na: "I'm sorry, you didn't have to hide. Now because of me..."
Meng Xianyu: "Stop, there's no need to say these words! If it weren't for you, I would have really become a dried salted fish on the beach. Now this salted fish has turned over! I'm going to live a shocking life! Even if it wasn't for you, I would still have to hide my identity first"
Meng Xianyu comforted Wu Na for a while.
She knew Wu Na was restless. After all, Wu Na had never left. Wu Na was full of fear about the unknown future.
What Meng Xianyu needs to do is to give Wu Na enough support, both mentally and practically.
Meng Xianyu fell asleep with hope. In her dream, there were people and events from the past. Perhaps in the future, she could only see those bright lights and tall buildings in her dreams.
Meng Xianyu had tears in her eyes while she was sleeping. She knew clearly that she was dreaming. That world was getting farther and farther away from her. From now on, they could only meet in dreams.
Perhaps this dream was reminding her that it was time to let go of those beautiful memories and embrace a new life.
From now on, she is no longer a glamorous and beautiful teacher, she will be a shining new star in the world of immortal cultivation!
Meng Xianyu woke up early. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and patted her cheeks.
Another energetic day! After today, she can leave here!
Meng Xianyu got up early and went out for a walk. Then she went to find Wu Na. Wu Na had also packed up, and the two of them went to find Linlang Dharma Protector. Linlang Dharma Protector had been waiting for a long time.
Linlang: "Finally it's here!"
Meng Xianyu: "Morning!"
Linlang was helpless. He had been waiting for the whole morning! Finally, these two little ancestors came!
Linlang: “Follow”
Linlang didn't want to say anything more, so Meng Xianyu and Wu Na could only hurry to catch up.
Guardian Linlang led them to a very simple courtyard. Although it was a bit simple, it was remote enough. They were almost catching up with Guardian Yufan's courtyard.
Several people entered the yard, and Linlang took them directly into the room. The room was empty and covered with a thick layer of dust. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
Guardian Linlang turned an ornament in her hand, and an entrance appeared under the bed.
Guardian Linlang waved at the two of them, and the three of them entered one after another. Guardian Linlang was very cautious and quickly closed the entrance.
They came to a very dark place. Candles were lit on the walls. The candles were made of special materials and could burn for a long time.
Meng Xianyu: "Where is this?"
Before Guardian Linlang could explain, the voice of an old servant was heard.
Old servant: "Protector, have you brought the person?"
Linlang: “I brought it.”
Linlang signaled Meng Xianyu and Wu Na to follow.
Linlang: "Let's go in first."
Soon they came to the old servant.
The old servant was blind and sat in a wheelchair. There were two servants following the old man.
Although the other party couldn't see, Linlang still bowed politely. Wu Na and Meng Xianyu also followed suit.
