Chapter 405 Jiang Yan tries to put on the clown mask
A spiritual hand picked up Jiang Yan's limp shoulders and shook them back and forth, accompanied by a delicate and anxious voice.
"How are you? Are you okay? Don't die!"
Jiang Yan's head was shaking back and forth as if it wasn't his own. He was like a rag doll being tossed around by the spiritual hand, allowing it to manipulate him. His heart was filled with complaints.
"Nimma! If I wasn't sure that you really cared about me, I would have thought you were teasing me on purpose. Who would torture a dying person like this?"
Forced by the other party's suffocating operation, his original plan of approaching and slowly waking her up was ruined. He had no choice but to cough lightly, spit out some blood and wave his hand.
He said in a weak voice: "Stop shaking it... If you continue shaking it, the egg yolk will fall apart..."
Yin Li didn't hear the obvious resentment in her tone. She really didn't understand...
It's just that it's rare that he shows emotion for the first time in his performance.
"You're alive, you're alive! Haha, I saved you."
Jiang Yan's mouth twitched slightly. Good fellow, can't you see that I am a dying candle in the wind? You can't even come to help the people...
"Oh, right, right... You saved me, but you also beat me up like this. You have to take responsibility."
Yin Li put her hands on her hips and said confidently: "But you were the one who touched me first!"
"I was just stretching. Is it a sin to have long arms? Besides, did I touch you? Did you feel the danger coming? Or were you preparing for a sneak attack?"
Jiang Yan asked questions with every step he took, and his words were very confident, forcing Yin Li to slowly step back until she had her back against the wall. She stammered and could not answer, but she was thinking along the lines of Jiang Yan's thinking, and was completely unable to escape the logical circle set by Jiang Yan.
He also completely forgot that the purpose of his trip was to test Jiang Yan.
Yin Li had nowhere to retreat. She wanted to run away, but she felt something was wrong. What was she doing here? Forget it.
The gilded amber eyes flashed with anxiety, and the two-dimensional painting style became frowned and anxious at the right time, which was incompatible with the realistic environment around it but complemented it.
Jiang Yan blinked. So how was he going to play a trick on her next...
When he had such thoughts in his mind, the jade bell on his waist made an imperceptible "ding-dong" sound. Jiang Yan's originally arrogant expression suddenly subsided. He took a big step back and put a considerable distance between himself and Yin Li. His movements were so fast that there was no sign of injury at all.
Yin Li was stunned, but now that she was no longer under pressure, her mind started to work. Seeing that Jiang Yan was unharmed, she suddenly became angry: "You are playing tricks on me again!"
Jiang Yan's mind was still echoing with the voice that had just entered his mind. He was still agitated and said casually:
"It's even. If it was anyone else, you would have died with that sudden attack on me. I believe you are very aware of your own methods, right? It's just that I'm kind-hearted, so I just said a few words. I just vented my anger, and you took advantage of me so much, and you don't thank me?"
"Ah? Ah...oh...thank...thank you."
Yin Li was being led by the nose in a daze. Every time she regained her senses, before she even started to question, she was always led into the other party's rhythm, and she always felt weak and powerless.
Jiang Yan also gave up the idea of continuing to tease her. It was because of this thought that just came out of the green jade bell.
"Master~ If you really like teasing her instead of doing your work, then there is no need to lurk any longer. Shen Ming will take you back and tease you in various ways~ I guarantee you will be happier than her~"
Jiang Yan shivered suddenly, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, silently recited the meditation technique to calm his emotions, and returned to his gentle and elegant appearance.
With a wave of his sleeves, the overturned tables, chairs and benches were all restored, and the broken and damaged utensils were also restored to their original state as if time had gone back.
Upon closer inspection, it is not really the flow of time, but a physical object condensed from spiritual energy with corresponding attributes.
This move is very common among cultivators. After all, those spells and magical powers with distinct attributes all have the purpose of manifestation. For example, gathering soil to form a mountain, condensing water to form a river, growing trees and plants, forging gold into armor, and gathering fire into a lotus are all typical examples of turning the virtual into the real.
But when Jiang Yan uses it on ordinary furniture without any worldly touch, his meticulous control over spiritual energy is absolutely terrifying.
This move alone made Yin Li's eyes light up.
He took out the spiritual tea he had cooked himself and brewed it, then poured a cup for Yin Li. The aroma of the tea filled the air, making people feel refreshed and their brains worked faster.
“Good tea”
Yin Li couldn't help but say it, picked it up and drank it naturally.
And Jiang Yan hasn’t even started pouring his own cup?
Although etiquette is not important, are you really not afraid that I will poison your tea?
It was not the first time that Jiang Yan complained in his heart, this person in front of him... You can say that she is simple-minded but she is bookish, and you need to use a soft knife to seduce her. But you can say that she is a nerd and dares to drink the tea that others bring to her?
When did the education sector in the world of immortal cultivation become so friendly?
"Cough cough..."
For some reasons, Jiang Yan felt that it would be better to play straight when facing this person.
"Is the tea good?"
Yin Li held the tea in both hands and nodded rapidly.
“Not bad, a little better than what the master brewed.”
"Really? But I poisoned your tea, did you know that?"
Yin Li tilted her head, her big cartoon-like head and gilded eyes were stunned, looking very adorable.
She looked at Jiang Yan, then looked down at the empty teacup, and gently licked her lips with her pink little tongue.
Raise both hands in front of Jiang Yan.
"Continued Cup"
?
"interesting"
Jiang Yan curled the corners of his mouth and added some unknown golden substance into the drink in front of Yin Li, shook it and poured it for Yin Li.
Compared to her previous nervous mood while investigating the case, Yin Li seemed much more relaxed after the previous encounter. She was even more rude to Jiang Yan and said, "If you pour me a drink, I'll drink it."
"Aren't you afraid of the poison I gave you? You should know that the poison I gave you is invisible and formless, and it is the most terrifying poison for cultivators! If a cultivator gets infected with it, he will die and there is no medicine to cure it~"
Yin Li: “Oh”
Now Jiang Yan was scratching his head.
"Your reaction is wrong. You should hold your chest in pain, kneel on the ground and scream, cry, point at me and ask loudly why you did this - well..."
"Now you suddenly become so "smart", it embarrasses me."
Yin Li: "Good show, I like watching it."
"Tsk~ What's wrong with you? Did you get hurt by the bullying just now? Why do you feel like a different person all of a sudden?"
Yin Liyan smiled happily, and even the surrounding scenery became sunny.
"No, I'm not broken."
Jiang Yan felt a little tricky. The plot was not right. Could it be that it was really messed up? Ahem, I mean it was messed up, that is, the kind of… Anyway, I can’t argue with you, so you are right, you are right.
How to do this? She will be needed to start the main storyline of infiltrating Huayinfang next, but how can she be guided to start it if she is so confused?
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yan chose to hit a straight ball again.
He took out Lin Wanyue's belongings and placed them on the table, then just looked at her without saying a word.
Yin Li glanced at Lin Wanyue's belongings, and then looked into his eyes, staring at each other, reflecting each other's reflections in silence.
An unknown amount of time passed before Jiang Yan couldn't hold on any longer and looked at Yin Li in confusion.
"You...don't you want to say something?"
Yin Li was puzzled: "What did you say?"
Jiang Yan lowered his head to look at the sachet on the table, and Yin Li's gaze followed and fell on it.
"This sachet? It's pretty. Are you going to give it to me?"
"…………"
Silence... is Cambridge tonight... all the noise is silent...
Yin Li felt that Jiang Yan suddenly became strange. Why did he suddenly become silent, as if he was hit by something?
I couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yan raised his hand to stop him, and covered his forehead with his other hand: "Don't talk, let me be quiet first..."
Yin Li felt that she had said something wrong, so she picked up the exquisite and unique sachet on the table and said, "It's okay, I'll take it."
Jiang Yan looked even more upset.
Yin Li panicked a little and quickly pushed the sachet back: "Okay, fine, I don't want it anymore."
"Gan..."
Jiang Yan had thought of everything, but he never expected this scene.
Where did this YM come from? He came to investigate but couldn't even recognize the remains of the missing person. Either the other party was not sent by Huayinfang, but came from other forces or the enemy forces of Huayinfang.
This also means that Jiang Yan’s efforts were in vain!
Another possibility is that if the other party really came from Huayinfang, but was not sent by the owner, and just accidentally came here and ran into the hole he had set...
That’s very unlucky—Zhi Jiangyan.
This is like performing pantomime for a blind person, what a waste of effort!
Of course, Jiang Yan couldn't possibly believe that the other party was really sent by the owner of Huayinfang to investigate Lin Wanyue's disappearance.
If that's the case, haha... then Jiang Yan from Huayinfang doesn't need to spend so much effort. He can just change his appearance and conduct a large-scale sweep. This is too unprofessional!
But...the truth is so wonderful.
Jiang Yan would never have thought that Yin Li was really sent to investigate, but her mission was really just to investigate clues! Because how could the master of the temple not know the apprentice he taught?
My own apprentice's talent is very suitable to serve as a background for eavesdropping and searching for clues, but letting her do it on her own... haha.
The owner of the temple did the same thing. Before leaving, he told Yin Li to investigate the clues and come back quickly. Don't act rashly!
Yin Li did the same thing, collecting information honestly and doing nothing else, but... she was aroused by the image of Jiang Yan and Pei Mengmeng in those days...
The message could not be sent back.
One wrong step leads to another, and little by little it has evolved to this point...
Although Jiang Yan was reluctant to believe the last one, he felt that his efforts these days were like a clown's if he didn't make another attempt at this point.
"Little Walnut"
"My name is Yin Li..."
Ignoring Yin Li's whisper, Jiang Yan's expression returned to normal and he said warmly:
"Why are you following me?"
Yin Li answered very seriously: "Master said that an elder in the town has disappeared recently and asked me to investigate the reason."
Click!
Jiang Yan's heart flashed with thunder, like a thunderclap in a dry land. His lips trembled as he wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore and pointed at her: "You?!"
Yin Li felt that she was being underestimated, so she raised her hand and clenched her pink little fist! The painting style changed to one of determination and passion!
"I'm very strong! It's just a matter of investigating a missing person case, it's no problem at all!"
"You...I...Huayinfang...your master..."
Jiang Yan didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at the moment. If he said he was speechless, he should be happy that his target was so stupid. If he said he was happy, he really couldn't think of anything. He was speechless...
So, he was just competing with himself? He didn't take it seriously at all?
Yin Li's words made Jiang Yan's mouth twitch slightly.
"You stupid walnut suspect climbs into your bed next to you in the middle of the night and you have to turn over and add a blanket to him..."
Although his state of mind was repeatedly impacted, it was a good thing after all, wasn't it? So Jiang Yan recovered quickly.
Taking advantage of the other party's stupidity, he continued to ask: "What kind of sect are you talking about? What kind of sect is it?"
"It's Huayinfang, just a small sect with very few people. Most of the elders and disciples were trained by the master. Even Yin Li was picked up by the master from a pile of dead bodies."
"So when an elder went missing, Master ordered me to come and find out the reason and the murderer."
Jiang Yan pretended to be thoughtful and nodded: "So... you suspect that I killed your elder?"
Yin Li blinked, then shook her head: "No, no, I don't doubt you."
"It's just that a few days ago, a mortal rushed out of Elder Lin's Huayin Pavilion, and I followed him to investigate."
"Then why are you monitoring me?"
Yin Li lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly: "I didn't find any clues about Elder Lin... I only know that he had contact with that mortal before he disappeared, and then I saw you with that mortal, so I followed you..."
"Oh~ In other words, because you couldn't find any clues, you investigated Brother Pei who had the last contact with the elder, but you accidentally discovered me, so you suspected me?"
“Yes…it’s like this…”
Jiang Yan looked at him with interest: "Then how did you dispel your suspicion of me? You know, in this situation where the elders are missing and strange monks suddenly appear, this suspicion can't be cleared, right?"
Yin Li thought about it, as if hesitating whether to say it out loud, but after sensing the strange extra-dimensional biological phase of herself, she made up her mind.
"Actually... this has something to do with my physique..."
Jiang Yan propped his chin with one hand and said in boredom: "I can see that."
"This story begins when I was a child..."
"Cut it out, just get to the point. My brain capacity is limited."
It took Yin Li dozens of seconds to understand what the other party said. After thinking for a moment, she said:
"To put it simply, I have awakened a strange physique. Master said... it is called the Spiritual Wisdom Body. I can sense the emotions of living beings and then outline the appearance of the other person."
"It can be joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, shock... and many other emotions, with a variety of appearances."
"My master described me as a mirror, a mirror that can reflect one's true heart... Although I cannot see everything clearly, I can roughly distinguish a person's right and wrong, good and evil..."
As she spoke, Yin Li looked up at Jiang Yan, who was squinting lazily.
"Your emotions are very strange, and mine are even stranger, so I spent some time trying to figure them out. Although I still couldn't figure them out in the end, I can be sure of one thing."
"That means you won't hurt me."
