The group's favorite junior sister returns to save the whole family of resentful villains

Ji Qingzhou, whose three senior sisters and brothers were worried about not having enough money to forge a new sword, put away the white jade sword and took out the Farewell Sword after he was far away from the sect.

The Farewell Sword had listened to Ji Qingzhou's words earlier and restrained the brilliance and aura of the divine weapon.

Judging from the appearance alone, the Farewell Sword is still pitch black and dilapidated, with only a few broken parts revealing its sharp and noble red-gold color, showing its extraordinaryness.

The flame-like sword tassel moved without wind, lightly hooking Ji Qingzhou's little finger, as if showing affection to her.

"I'm sorry, I've been busy with my therapist sister these days and haven't brought you out for some fresh air."

Ji Qingzhou doesn't usually use the Farewell Sword casually.

After all, the Farewell Sword is the incarnation of the Flame Dragon.

Ji Qingzhou treated it more as a friend than a sword.

So when he was in Wuliang Sect, Ji Qingzhou would either put the Farewell Sword in the Tianqing Yulin Bracelet, or send it to the rebellious little black bug.

After Ji Qingzhou finished speaking, Jian Sui rubbed her little finger again, probably to express that he didn't mind.

"Let's go."

Ji Qingzhou smiled, stepped onto the Farewell Sword, and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the distance.

……

Five days later.

Tianyin Gate, Wenxiu City.

Although it is a small city, it is close to mountains and water and has beautiful scenery.

Unlike most mortal cities, most roads in Wenxiu City are waterways, and people need to travel by boat.

This place is famous for its weaving and embroidery. Sitting on a small boat and passing by courtyards, you can see one or several beautifully embroidered handkerchiefs hanging under the eaves of every household.

"Guest, is this your first time in Tattoo City?"

The boatwoman saw Ji Qingzhou staring at the handkerchiefs fluttering in the wind under the eaves, and explained with a smile: "The families who hang handkerchiefs have daughters, and the handkerchiefs are embroidered by their daughters."

Ji Qingzhou retracted his gaze and asked, "Why do you hang the embroidered handkerchief under the eaves?"

The boat girl explained, "Our Embroidery City is famous for embroidery, and most of the top embroiderers are girls. Hanging handkerchiefs under the eaves is a way to show off and demonstrate one's family's confidence."

This is just like the mentality in some isolated mortal villages, where the family with more sons is considered more powerful.

But in Wenxiu City, the status of men and women is reversed.

The boat girl continued, "In most places outside, it doesn't matter whether a woman is in charge or a man is in charge, but in our Wenxiu City, only women are in charge. If a family dares to let a man be in charge, they will be driven out of the city."

Ji Qingzhou was curious: "Why?"

"Because it is unlucky for a man to be the head of the household."

The boat girl said, "Since ancient times, women have been in charge of Wenxiu City. But many years ago, as more and more people came to the city, men gradually took charge. At first, it was fine, but gradually chaos ensued."

These old stories are not secrets, and almost everyone in Wenxiu City knows about them.

But so many years have passed, and the story has been passed down many times, and the original truth is no longer known.

The version that the boat girl knew was not very detailed.

She said, "Anyway, during those years, the Embroidery City was in chaos, and even the embroidery that we were best at was almost lost."

Ji Qingzhou asked curiously, "How was it resolved later?"

As far as she knew, there were many examples in the secular world of men seizing power and taking away the credit for inheritance from matriarchal society.

Most of these stories end up in nothing. It is rare to find a story like Wenxiu City where a woman is the boss again in the end.

"It is said that an immortal appeared and gave a divine oracle that only women can be in charge of the city of Wenxiu. If a man is allowed to be in charge, it will be a bad omen."

The boat girl said, "Many people didn't believe it at first. They were so stubborn that they insisted on letting men be the head of the family. As a result, it was just as the immortal said. They would suffer misfortune! At the very least, their wives and children would be separated, and at the worst, their families would be destroyed and their families would die."

As time went by, no one in Wenxiu City was willing to let a man be the head of the family.

If there really is such an idiot, Wenxiu City will drive him away.

Just ask for death yourself, but don’t bring bad luck to the people around you.

After listening to this, Ji Qingzhou felt it was strange.

The immortals that ordinary people talk about are most likely these monks.

This method seems like a curse commonly used by evil cultivators.

But how powerful a demon cultivator must be to allow the curse to continue until now?

This is the territory of the righteous. If it were any evil cultivators, they should have been eliminated long ago.

All these contradictions seem more like there is some hidden secret rather than the methods used by the devil.

Since it has been able to last for so many years, it is probably impossible to achieve it with human power. Could it be that there is some blessing from heaven here?

"Daytime!"

Ji Qingzhou was still thinking about the legend of Wenxiu City when he heard a familiar voice from the front.

Looking up, she saw Liu Furuo leaning half of his body out of the window of a restaurant on the second floor next to the waterway, waving at her vigorously, "This way!"

With that excited look, if he hadn't been restrained by Xiao Reyi's spiritual power, he would have jumped out of the window in the next second.

"coming."

Ji Qingzhou smiled at Liu Furuo, took out the fare from his arms and handed it to the boatman.

The boat girl took it and looked at it, and found it was actually a small ingot of silver.

Under normal circumstances, even in good seasons with many customers, she would have to spend nearly half a month to earn that much.

The boat girl wanted to refuse: "Sir, you gave too much..."

Ji Qingzhou took a step back and said, "Thank you for your story. It's very interesting."

After saying that, Ji Qingzhou tiptoed, walked on the water, and came to the bottom of the restaurant. With just a light jump, he flew into the air and disappeared into the building.

The boat girl stared at her blankly, and then she realized that she was actually carrying an immortal!

“Oh, this…”

The boat girl couldn't help but touch the bow where Ji Qingzhou had just sat. She was a little excited: "The immortal has been with me for so long. Has my boat also been blessed by the immortal?..."

She put her hands together and prayed: "God bless me to make a lot of money, make a lot of money, make a lot of money, make a lot of money..."

……

As soon as Ji Qingzhou entered the restaurant, she found that the place seemed to be booked by someone and there were no other guests except them.

In addition, there were unexpected people coming to the second floor.

The original plan was for Xiao Reyi and Feng Zhixing, plus her, Liu Furuo, and Xie Ziye, a total of five people to explore the secret realm.

At this time, there were already five people sitting at the table.

The extra person was holding a baby mouse that he got from somewhere and slowly feeding it to the colorful long snake wrapped around his arm.

It was Ji Qiuyu!

He sat in the corner, and there seemed to be an invisible transparent wall between him and the other four people, making the atmosphere particularly weird.

In addition to the five people sitting at the table, a woman in a black satin robe stood up from her seat and seemed to be about to leave, when she happened to meet Ji Qingzhou's arrival.

The woman looked to be over 40 years old. She wore a purple gold crown on her head and had the aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

Seeing Ji Qingzhou, she bowed and said with a smile: "This must be Fellow Daoist Ji, right?"

The woman is also a cultivator, and her realm is only at the initial stage of foundation building.

But among mortals, she is already considered a top master.

Xiao Reyi was about to get up to see the girl off when he saw Ji Qingzhou appear. He introduced her, "This is the Lord of Wenxiu City, Qi Mingyue. We have met before inside the gate. She heard that I was passing by here, so she hosted a banquet for me."

The Tianyin Sect does not have close contacts with the mayors of every city under its jurisdiction, but Qi Mingyue is valued by the Tianyin Sect because of her good cultivation and repeated contributions, and she has been invited to attend banquets at the Tianyin Sect several times.

Therefore, Qi Mingyue also knew Xiao Reyi.

Qi Mingyue smiled apologetically: "It's a pity that the dishes haven't been served yet. I have something urgent to deal with here, so I have to go and deal with it myself. Mingyue can't accompany you. Please forgive me, fellow Taoists."
