After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 47 Spirit-Chasing Pearl

Su Luo also noticed the growing reddish-brown flame at Feng Xiyue's fingertip. She recognized it; it was the unique fire-taming function of alchemists, allowing them to control the heat and refine pills at any time.

At that moment, a slender hand placed a cup of tea in front of Su Luo. Su Luo looked in the direction of the hand and could only see the lips of the boy hidden in the hood moving.

"Luo Su, have some tea."

"Okay, thank you." Su Luo looked away, lowered her head to drink her tea, and focused her attention on Lin Ji.

Now that we've already established a good relationship with Feng Xiyue, we should ask her about Lin Ji's situation after we finish eating.

Soon, someone knocked on the door saying that food had arrived. Feng Xiyue quickly extinguished the flames, and Chu Wenqing breathed a sigh of relief and rushed over.

"I'll open the door!"

Feng Xiyue sat down again and smiled apologetically at Su Luo, "Luo Su, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. My junior brother has never been very bright and always makes me angry. It's really unfair to you that you can be friends with him."

Su Luo shook her head. "He's alright, he's quite reliable sometimes."

No matter what, Chu Wenqing was her fellow townsman, so she had to give him some face.

As they were talking, the waiter had already served the wine and dishes. Chu Wenqing also closed the door and came over. Hearing Su Luo's words, he sniffed and looked at her with a face full of emotion.

"Su, Luo Su...you're the one who understands me best!"

Feng Xiyue was disgusted and rolled her eyes. Then she looked at Lin Ji, who was still wearing a cloak with the hood still up, and greeted him with a serious expression.

"This must be Lin Ji, right? I've heard my junior brother mention you. I'm Feng Xiyue, Chu Wenqing's senior sister."

Actually, she had noticed the boy when she was outside, but for some reason her intuition made her subconsciously stay away from him, so she just talked to Luo Su and didn't greet him for a while.

Lin Ji paused, looked up, took off his hood to reveal an unrealistically beautiful face, glanced at Feng Xiyue with a pair of calm, dark eyes, and replied.

"Yes, I am. I've heard so much about you."

Feng Xiyue's pupils contracted, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

She wasn't amazed by the boy's good looks, but rather by the look in his eyes.

She never imagined that someone's eyes could be so oppressive, like an abyss, making it hard to look directly at them... Didn't Luo Su and Chu Wenqing usually notice this?!

Seeing that Feng Xiyue was staring intently at Lin Ji, Su Luo assumed that she was also captivated by the boy's appearance and coughed.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, I'm a little hungry. May I eat first?"

Feng Xiyue snapped out of her daze and nodded hurriedly, "Eat up, eat more, and we'll give you more if you're not full!"

Su Luo replied "Okay" before starting to eat.

The moment Feng Xiyue answered, Chu Wenqing had already started eating with gusto, his chopsticks flying.

During the meal, Feng Xiyue picked up a pot of wine and poured a bowl for Su Luo, enthusiastically recommending, "Luo Su, try this. It's a peach blossom wine unique to Fuguang Town. It has a wonderful aroma, a smooth taste, and won't make you drunk easily. I really like the taste."

Su Luo smiled and thanked her.

Then Feng Xiyue turned to look at Lin Ji, hesitating whether to pour him a glass of wine as well, but Lin Ji refused without looking up, saying, "I don't drink."

After saying that, he poured himself another cup of tea and began to drink it slowly and deliberately.

Upon hearing Lin Ji's refusal, Feng Xiyue breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief and poured herself a bowl of wine.

Feeling ignored, Chu Wenqing immediately became dissatisfied, "Senior sister, why don't you give me a bowl of wine too?"

"Don't you know why I won't give you alcohol?"

Thinking of Chu Wenqing's past drunken "achievements," Feng Xiyue gave him a death stare, which frightened him so much that he had no choice but to shut his mouth and lower his head to eat.

If you won't give me a drink, then you won't give me a drink! Honestly!

Su Luo watched the two bickering back and forth, and the smile on her lips never left her face.

They clearly have a good relationship; this is exactly the kind of fellow disciples she's always dreamed of! As for those two from Tianyi Sect? Ha, they're trash; let's not even mention them.

In this noisy yet relaxed atmosphere, Lin Ji gently put down his teacup and pursed his lips.

He could tell that Su Luo was completely relaxed in front of these two, with almost no guard up. But Su Luo and that female cultivator had only just met; what was it about this strangely behaving person that Su Luo could possibly like?

When she first met him, she was so wary and nervous, afraid of being pestered by him, and even gave him a Forget-Me-Not Pill. Why is her attitude towards Chu Wenqing and the others different from her attitude towards him? Why?

Thinking of this, Lin Ji's eyes turned icy cold.

Feng Xiyue, who was arguing with Chu Wenqing, suddenly felt a tingling sensation on her back, as if a needle-like chill was pricking her back.

She turned to look at Lin Ji with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. The boy didn't even look up, staring blankly at the dishes on the table, his long eyelashes obscuring the emotions in his eyes.

Su Luo then noticed that Lin Ji's bowl was completely empty, indicating he had barely eaten anything. After thinking for a moment, she still picked up some food for him and instructed, "Don't just drink tea, eat more. This shepherd's purse boiled with eggs is quite good; it's usually only available during the Shangsi Festival."

"Well, I see."

Lin Ji looked deeply at the oblivious girl, nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and obediently began to eat the food in his bowl.

Chu Wenqing found Su Luo's words to be very reasonable, so he also picked up some food and pretended to put it in Su Luo's bowl. "Luo Su is right, eat more! Look at your pale face, you don't look healthy."

Lin Ji quickly took the bowl away without looking up, his words full of disdain, "Those are the chopsticks you used."

Chu Wenqing was instantly taken aback, but then he seemed to remember something, raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "My chopsticks aren't allowed, but Luo Su's are, right?"

Lin Ji paused for a moment.

Fearing Lin Ji might misunderstand, Su Luo quickly explained, "I just used clean chopsticks! You can believe me!"

The boy pursed his lips and said, "I believe you."

But his jade-like ears quietly turned red.

Chu Wenqing's laughter grew even more lewd, "Hehehe..."

"Just eat! You talk too much."

Su Luo picked up an egg and shoved it into Chu Wenqing's mouth, silencing him and making him choke until his eyes rolled back.

"Uh……"

Feng Xiyue slowly withdrew her gaze, frowning in confusion. Was the sense of crisis she had just felt just an illusion?

As soon as she finished eating, Feng Xiyue handed Chu Wenqing the things she was going to give him, and then took out a durian, ready to try it.

Chu Wenqing said goodbye without hesitation and left, pulling Lin Ji along as he went, saying, "Let's go back and rest for a bit, then we'll go out together again around 7 PM!"

Lin Ji glanced at Su Luo and saw that she was still sitting there calmly with no intention of leaving, so he finally lowered his eyes and left.

After Su Luo and the others left, he cleared his throat and said, "Fellow Daoist Feng, may I ask you a question? It's about the Forget-Dust Pill."

Feng Xiyue looked up: "You say it."

"Is such that……"

……

At this moment, Qingya Zi, along with Ye Danqing, flew to the vicinity of Fuguang Town on their swords, and the three of them jumped off the swords.

Then, Qingya Zi took out a transparent bead, infused it with his spiritual energy, and handed it to Ye Danqing.

"This Spirit Tracking Pearl contains a trace of my spiritual energy, which can react with the protective ring in Su Luo's hand. Within a distance of twenty miles, the Spirit Tracking Pearl can sense Su Luo's location. You can then follow it to find her."

Ye Danqing nodded, "Yes, Master."

Qingya Zi waved his hand, "Go. Once you find Su Luo, don't linger. Take her back to Tianyi Sect immediately. I will come to find you soon."

Ye Danqing and Qin Xiu both knew that their master had things to do next, so they bowed and turned to leave.

Qingya Zi watched the two leave for a long time. When he turned around and looked at the distant mountain range, the gentle expression on his face instantly turned cold.
