My apprentice is a little weird?

Shan Pao took the lead, looking happy and cheerful.

There was also a faint smile on the face hidden under the hood, but her smile was tinged with a bit of worry.

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down, then raised his hand high and touched Shan Pao's head.

"It's good to be full. Only when you are full can you feel energetic."

"How have you been playing these days? This Sword Cultivation City is lively, right?"

Shan Pao didn't think anything was wrong at all. He looked at Jiang Yan, who was lowering his head in front of him, like an elementary school student giving a report.

"Yeah, it's really lively in here! Brother took me to many places and bought me weapons, although I think that's a waste..."

"As for weapons, it's better to have them for self-defense than to have none at all~"

"Even my brother...senpai, you said so..."

Shan Pao muttered to himself, while Er Leng remained silent the entire time, but in fact, she had been communicating with Jiang Yan since the moment he came out.

"You mean, Paozi sensed the same bloodline in this city?"

Erleng nodded imperceptibly and looked at Jiang Yan.

'It was when I bought the magic weapon for Shan Pao that he had a tendency to go berserk, and the blood in his body expanded several times.'

"Senior, you once said that Shan Pao's bloodline is the bloodline of the ancient demon race. It is usually dormant and will not easily explode without stimulation. This is indeed the case. Shan Pao has a simple mind. If I am not hurt, he will not explode and use this power."

"But that time, there was no sign, but he just exploded..."

Jiang Yan's expression remained normal as he continued to greet Shan Pao, but he was actually thinking about another thing in his mind, and he had a vague guess about it.

"It's okay. I think there is someone with the same ancient bloodline as Paozi. You should stay in the city for the time being."

Erleng was silent for a moment, but the silence did not last long, and then he nodded decisively.

"Okay, senior~ Thank you for your hard work~"

Jiang Yan waved his hands carelessly, and because of his height, he subconsciously wanted to touch Erleng's head.

But at this moment, a fierce and cold gaze suddenly rose from behind! At this moment, both of them felt a chill on their backs and their hair stood up!

Only Shan Pao tilted his head stupidly and looked at Shen Ming behind Jiang Yan.

"Sister...senior...hello hehe"

Shen Ming had a gentle expression and nodded gently at the giggling boy.

"From the tone of your voice, you seem to have had a lot of fun these days~"

"We are busy now, how about I lend you some spirit stones, and you two can go out and play? I can also have a good chat with your elder brother~"

"Okay, okay..."

Before Shan Pao could even cheer, Er Lang kicked him away.

"What are you talking about? You're almost crushing yourself and you're still borrowing!"

He turned around and his expression instantly returned to smiling, and he very tacitly pulled Shan Pao back three steps.

"Well... we suddenly remembered that we have something else to do, so we won't bother you two anymore. We'll come back later..."

After saying that, he was about to leave!

Jiang Yan stretched out his hand.

"Wait, I have something else to say!"

"Okay, go play."

A soft and gentle voice sounded from behind them, and a storage bag flew towards them and finally fell into Shan Pao's arms.

"This is a treat from my senior sister~ It's okay to spend more~"

After a brief moment of daze, Shan Pao's slow brain actually reacted.

"Thank you so much, senior sister..."

Erlang also thanked him repeatedly, then grabbed the mountain cannon and ran away.

.........

Only after the two men completely disappeared and left the place did Jiang Yan take back Erkang's hand and Sima's face.

"Not bad, Xiao Ming'er. I didn't expect that there is room for thinking in your little head besides yellow waste~"

"You actually cooperated with me in acting and sent them away."

Shen Ming snorted softly, raised her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Humph~ Don't you see who has completely captured Master's heart~"

"Even if I chase you away now, you won't leave~ because you can't bear to~"

Jiang Yan waved his sleeves, and streams of pure and spiritual energy were released and spread around, erasing all the auras and qi of the four people just now. Even if they calculated, they would not be able to figure it out.

A veil that looked like it was dotted with stars emerged from his sleeve, concealing their breath.

Then Jiang Yan tapped his toes lightly, and his body floated up like willow catkins. He approached Shen Ming, stretched out his index finger, and lightly scratched Shen Ming's smooth chin in a slightly frivolous manner.

"Look how beautiful you are. Your little neck is raised like a white swan~"

Shen Ming couldn't control the smile on her face. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Jiang Yan, but he was like a willow leaf dancing in the wind, slender and frivolous. He passed by her fingertips and finally caught nothing.

"Hurry up and follow them. This high-level replica of the Shadowless Silk has been stored for so many years, and it is finally used."

.........

Jiang Yan and Shen Ming hid in the void, and Shen Ming used the space spell as a basis to quietly and silently break the flying ban of Yangjian City.

They also have the Shadow-Invisible Silk to conceal their breath and figures, so they can follow Erlang and Shanpao silently.

Yes, tracking.

Jiang Yan didn't notice anything unusual at first, and he just exchanged greetings with the two of them when they met. But as they were talking, he always felt a nerve jumping, and the country boy in front of him looked awkward.

If you really ask him to explain, he can't tell what's wrong.

So after being puzzled for a long time, Jiang Yan decided to reach out and check personally if there was anything wrong with his body.

This is why Jiang Yan raised his hand to touch the mountain guy who was two heads taller than him, but he actually discovered something wrong.

Inside Shan Pao's body...it can't be said to be inside the body, it should be said to be close to the soul. There is a faint drop of blood between the body and the soul.

But it looks like the weather is just red. It doesn’t look like blood drops, but more like... seeds?

It stayed quietly beside his soul, relying on the strong body of its own Shan Pao to retain nutrients. Because Shan Pao himself practiced physical training and had a strong physique, he could not feel the loss of energy and blood, and therefore could not notice this.

But he couldn't hide it from Jiang Yan.

Later, he learned from Erlang what happened when they were buying the magic weapon. He became even more certain that someone was targeting them, and it was most likely the person who had a connection with Shanpao.

And the most crucial point is that Jiang Yan saw a familiar shadow on the strange seed. It can’t be said to be familiar, but it just felt somewhat similar.

That blood-colored seed... is a bit like... the second body of the corpse-reincarnation immortal~

In this way, another half a month passed, until the beginning of August, the Lingxiang Conference was in full swing, and the initial discussion of the Tao gradually turned into a conference.
