Chapter 222 Shangguan Yi Comes to the Door
Because his uncle and Xiaochu were still in the laurel forest, Lin Xia did not stay in the Qinglin space for long. He just carved some talismans as stock and came out.
When Lin Xia came out, only her uncle was in the protective formation that Lin Xia had set up. Xiaochu, Uncle Shu and the others had already gone crazy somewhere.
My uncle was still meditating and practicing, so Lin Xia didn't disturb him or call Xiaochu and the others back. She planned to go to the laurel forest alone, hoping to find some smaller laurel saplings.
The Dongfang family has made a lot of money thanks to Lin Xia. It’s not too much for Lin Xia to pull out a few of their small saplings, right?
When I was buying laurel honey before, I heard the shop assistant bragging about how superior the feng shui of their Laurel City was. He said that the laurel tree could only take root and sprout in Laurel City and grow into a big tree. It could not survive outside of Laurel City.
It sounds like other monks have already tried it, and they all must have failed.
However, with the Qinglin space and the blessing of the spiritual spring water, Lin Xia always wanted to give it a try. Then he could catch some spiritual bees and sign contracts with them. Then he could always have nectar to eat and save some spiritual stones.
Furthermore, the core of the longevity fruit that Lin Xia had previously planted in Qinglin's space has now sprouted and is growing better and better. Lin Xia is confident that he can grow a laurel tree.
Laurel trees don't have any seeds; new plants sprout from the roots. Lin Xia walked around the laurel forest and soon found several targets.
The saplings are not big, only as long as Lin Xia's arm, but they are growing very well and are full of vitality. They look easy to take care of.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no cultivators around, Lin Xia took out the medicinal hoe used to dig spiritual herbs from his storage ring. However, as soon as Lin Xia put down the hoe, he sensed that the protective formation of the entire laurel forest had been triggered.
Such a loud noise scared Lin Xia. She thought that she had been discovered digging up the laurel seedlings.
After sensing it on the spot, I realized that the noise seemed to be from the Dongfang family maintaining the protective formation.
In this case, it has nothing to do with me. Lin Xia continued to dig saplings with a carefree attitude.
Not long after, Xiaochu and Shu Daye rushed over angrily following Lin Xia's scent. As soon as they saw Lin Xia, they began to curse in Lin Xia's mind, saying that the people of the Shangguan family were not good people.
Only then did Lin Xia realize that the people maintaining the protective formation in the laurel forest were actually from the Shangguan family.
Yes, isn’t this the reason why the Shangguan family has a monopoly on formations?
"Mother, they said you are a witch, and my uncle is a traitor to the Ji family. Anyway, they said a lot of nasty things." Xiaochu's tone was very angry. As he spoke, he wished he could spit fire and burn all the people in the Shangguan family to death.
Uncle Rat and Ling Cang were also very angry, but they didn't know what Lin Xia's next plan was, and Su Linghan was still practicing in the laurel forest, so these guys kept their composure this time and did not impulsively alert the enemy. Instead, they followed Lin Xia's breath and came over, wanting Lin Xia to make a decision.
All the way to Laurel City, Lin Xia and her friends were not questioned. Lin Xia thought that the Shangguan family intended to settle the matter openly and then deal with them and Yun Weitian secretly. However, she didn't expect that the Shangguan family actually intended to turn the tables and put all the blame on them and Yun Weitian.
From Xiaochu and Uncle Shu's retelling, Lin Xia knew that the Shangguan family had portrayed her as a witch, a witch who failed to avenge the Soul-Devouring Sect and wanted to split the four major families of Dongyang Continent and Cangqiong Continent.
And his uncle was the elder of the Ji family who was instigated by him to rebel, and was a traitor to the Ji family.
As for Yun Weitian, it was even simpler. He was just an unsuccessful cultivator whose Taoist partner had found another man and blamed the Shangguan family for the downfall of his family. You know, even if she was his own sister, the head of the Shangguan family could not influence her choice, right?
Good, very good! They are indeed the Shangguan family. They are constantly refreshing Lin Xia's understanding of the Shangguan family.
If this influence continues, I will become a witch if I am not one. The Shangguan family wants to make sure that I have no place to stand in the Tianyan Continent from now on.
Lin Xia didn't want to, and couldn't do as they wished.
It is not that quick to maintain such a large formation, which means that the Shangguan family will not leave Laurel City in the short term.
Lin Xia estimated that her uncle should be able to wake up from his meditation before the Shangguan family left. By then, they would be able to make a big profit and it would be about time for them to leave Laurel City.
Lin Xia's estimate was correct. Su Linghan finished his training after seven days. Lin Xia's cultivation was lower than Su Linghan's. Although she couldn't see through her uncle's cultivation, she could clearly feel that her uncle's aura was becoming more and more fierce.
Knowing that the Shangguan family was in Laurel City and in this laurel forest, Su Linghan's aura became even colder.
Since Shangguan Yi brought his men and bumped into them, neither Lin Xia nor Su Linghan would be willing to let them go.
Having stayed in the laurel forest for such a long time and dug up several laurel saplings, Lin Xia could be said to have inherited the karma of the Dongfang family. So after some discussion, they decided to take action against the Shangguan family after the Shangguan family had maintained the protective formation.
After waiting for another half a month, the time finally came.
"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Shangguan. Thank you very much this time!" Dongfang Zhenyuan handed over a storage bag while speaking. The contents of the storage bag were naturally the spirit stones that the Dongfang family paid to the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Yi finally smiled now, having obviously used his spiritual sense to check the number of spirit stones in the storage bag. "Fellow Daoist Dongfang, thank you for your courtesy. I will not be polite!"
However, when Shangguan Yi reached out to take the storage bag, he found it was empty. The storage bag that was supposed to be in Shangguan Yi's hands was now in Lin Xia's hands.
"Elder Yi, it's been a long time since we last met!" Lin Xia held the storage bag brought by Uncle Rat in her hand and waved to Shangguan Yi in a very good mood.
The Shangguan family worked so hard, and it felt so good to collect the spirit stones myself.
"It's you!" Shangguan Yi obviously didn't expect Lin Xia to appear here, and his expression instantly became serious. When he saw Su Linghan beside Lin Xia, his face became even uglier.
Although Shangguan Yi did not go to Yaoguang City, he was still very aware of the evil deeds done by Lin Xia and Su Linghan on Feixian Island. After all, as soon as the incident happened, the news was reported back to the Shangguan family, and the head of the family and the elders were furious.
For this purpose, the Shangguan family also discussed this matter specifically and made a response plan.
Even the rumors they spread about Lin Xia, Su Linghan, and Yun Weitian when they were maintaining the formation in Laurel City this time were instigated by their family.
