Chapter 216 Already expected
Ling Jiurong's wedding finally came to an end, the festive atmosphere gradually dissipated, and the guests left one after another.
Ling Jiuan stood in the courtyard, holding her beloved fox Lingling, with a look of reluctance and calmness in her eyes.
She knew that it was time to leave the Ling family and pursue her own path of experience.
Suddenly, she noticed Liuzhu and Liuying kneeling in front of her, with their heads lowered and their voices earnest.
"Master, you are going to go for training, please take us with you!"
Liu Zhu's voice trembled slightly, full of pleading.
Ling Jiuan frowned and looked at them somewhat awkwardly.
She really didn't plan to take them with her, she only planned to take Lingling with her.
However, facing the two people's pleading eyes, she couldn't help but soften her heart.
"Um... Liuzhu, Liuying, you guys..."
Ling Jiuan was hesitant to speak and was trying to find a suitable reason to reject them.
After all, if she went to seek opportunities, she would be afraid of many dangers.
At this moment, Ling Jiucheng's steady and powerful voice came from outside the door.
"Jiuan, just take the two of them with you! There are many places on the continent that you have not been to, and having more people will help you take care of them."
Ling Jiuan sighed helplessly and turned to look at his eldest brother who walked in.
She knew she couldn't refuse anymore. After all, her brother's words always carried so much weight.
"Brother, I'm going there to gain experience, not... to have fun. Why do I bring them with me?"
Ling Jiuan tried to persuade his elder brother again.
Ling Jiucheng's expression became serious.
"Taking them with me will also make Big Brother feel at ease. It's always good to have someone to take care of you when you are out there."
Seeing this, Ling Jiuan knew that arguing was useless, so he could only sigh and compromise.
"Never mind, I'll take them with me."
Then, she looked at Liuzhu and Liuying, and they both immediately showed expressions of overjoyed joy on their faces.
"You two go down and get ready. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."
Ling Jiuan gave the order, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his tone.
These two people are also family to her!
It was left to her family by her mother.
"Yes, Master!"
Liuzhu and Liuying responded excitedly and quickly stood up and left.
Ling Jiuan looked at their departing backs, feeling mixed emotions.
She knew that with the company of Liuzhu and Liuying, the journey might be more exciting, but it also meant that they would have to follow her into many dangers.
However, now that she has made the decision, she will move forward bravely, regardless of any storms.
That night, the moonlight was hazy. Ling Jiuan held Lingling in his arms and quietly slipped out of the door of Jiuan Hall, crouching down.
She was thinking about how to leave quietly, but as soon as she stepped over the threshold, Lingling suddenly whimpered, breaking the silence of the night.
Ling Jiuan was startled by the little fellow's sudden sound and quickly covered his little mouth, hushing nervously.
"Be good, don't make any noise, or I won't take you with me!"
Lingling seemed to sense her master's nervousness and immediately calmed down, staring at her innocently with her big eyes.
Ling Jiuan breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
After much thought, she decided not to take Liuzhu and Liuying with her.
After all, the places she wanted to go were secret places full of danger and unknowns, and taking them with her would only add unnecessary risks.
However, when she just walked to the back door of Ling's house, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Master, are you trying to sneak away again?"
Ling Jiuan turned around suddenly and saw Liuzhu and Liuying standing behind her, both with sly smiles on their faces.
She smiled awkwardly and spoke in a casual manner.
"You two didn't sleep? That really surprises me."
At this moment, Ling Jiucheng walked out from the shadows not far away, with a gentle smile on his face, as if he had already seen through everything.
"I guessed you would do this. They were both ready."
There was a hint of pampering and helplessness in Ling Jiucheng's words.
Ling Jiuan sighed and looked at his elder brother helplessly. "Alas, I made a mistake. It seems I still can't escape your eyes."
Ling Jiucheng smiled, walked towards her, and handed a storage bag to her.
"Here, these are some snacks, pills, and some protective instruments. Take them. When you are training outside, it is always good to prepare some extra things."
Ling Jiuan took the storage bag and felt warm in his heart.
Ling Jiuan put away the storage bag and bowed deeply to his elder brother Ling Jiuan.
"Take care, bro. I'm leaving now."
Her voice was soft, but it was filled with unquestionable determination.
Ling Jiucheng nodded, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, but more of it was trust and pride in his sister.
"Be careful and come back soon. We are all waiting for you at home, and we look forward to your return with full experience and growth."
Afterwards, Ling Jiuan, along with Liuzhu and Liuying, disappeared into the night like three light shadows.
They shuttled through the alleys and quickly headed towards the gate of Xinghuo City.
However, when they arrived at the city gate, Jiuan couldn't help feeling annoyed.
She whispered to herself.
"I'm a physical cultivator, so it's really hard for me to get out. This city wall is like an insurmountable obstacle for me."
Seeing this, Liuying chuckled.
"Master, don't worry, we will take you out."
Her voice was gentle yet firm, faintly injecting an invisible force into Ling Jiuan.
Afterwards, Liuying raised her hand, made hand gestures, and muttered something.
A faint light flickered between her fingers, communicating with some mysterious power between heaven and earth.
After a moment, she waved her hand lightly, and a barely visible wave spread out.
Ling Jiuan only felt his body lighten as he was lifted up by an invisible force. In an instant, he passed through the wall of Xinghuo City and appeared outside the city.
She looked at Firefly in surprise, her eyes full of admiration.
"This is... a space spell? You are so amazing!"
Sure enough, the benefits of having spiritual roots are not small.
Liuying smiled triumphantly, with a cunning gleam in her eyes.
"Master, we are your personal guards, so we naturally need some extraordinary skills."
When Ling Jiuan heard this, a surge of lofty sentiments and ambitions surged in his heart.
She nodded.
"makes sense!"
The three were just about to set off when a nonchalant voice suddenly came from behind them.
"I say, Ling Jiuan, you are too unkind. You went out to gain experience without taking me with you."
Hearing this, Ling Jiuan turned around and saw that it was indeed Chen Yan.
She couldn't help but smile awkwardly and touched her nose.
"How do you know that? You caught me before I even left."
Chen Yan spread his hands, looking helpless.
"I can't help it. It's hard not to notice your bad habits. Every time you make a big move, I can't hide it from you."
Ling Jiuan shook her head helplessly. She knew that Chen Yan had always paid attention to her and knew her very well.
She thought about it, then looked at Chen Yan seriously.
"Actually, the place I'm going to for this training is very dangerous, and I don't want to make you worry."
