The two were disheartened and disheartened, and were about to leave.
A voice called out, stopping them.
"You two, long time no see, I happen to have something that I need your help with."
It was Ji Mo who appeared and called out to them.
Lin Zhan and Qiao Surong's gloomy expressions vanished instantly, and they became energetic.
Who dares to say that we are not qualified to serve Mr. Ji? Look, Mr. Ji has asked us to do something.
At once.
The two spoke almost in unison: "Mr. Ji, please give your orders. Even if it means going through fire and water, we will not hesitate."
Ji Mo was quite surprised by their attitude, not expecting them to agree so readily.
He pointed to A'li beside him and said, "This little girl is called Luo Li. When she was very young, her heart bone was maliciously dug out by the Luo family. You are cultivators, knowledgeable and well-connected, you should be able to find out who the culprit is."
The Luo family?
The little girl whose heart bone was dug out!
The two looked at each other, their bodies turning cold.
They already knew which Luo family Ji Mo was referring to.
The Human King Luo family!
But the Luo family was too powerful, they could not afford to provoke them, otherwise they would surely invite death.
Could it be that Mr. Ji wanted them to go to their deaths?
The two were hesitant, engaged in an internal struggle.
"What, is it troublesome?" Ji Mo asked softly.
Lin Zhan wanted to say that it was more than troublesome, it was a huge problem. This was a scandal of the Luo family, involving their face and reputation. Anyone who touched it would die.
But this was a matter personally entrusted by Mr. Ji. If they refused, then undoubtedly, they would never be able to serve him again.
Could this be Mr. Ji's test?
Lin Zhan fell into thought.
Qiao Surong, being a woman with a delicate mind, looked at A'li and was immediately horrified.
The little girl was wearing a snow-white jacket, made from the fur of the Dark Night Magic Mink, a demon saint. Its toughness was enough to withstand all attacks below the Emperor realm.
She wore a willow branch headband, each leaf imbued with the essence of the Dao, intertwined with the laws of heaven and earth, constantly entering her body, helping her to comprehend the Dao at all times.
Her silky hair was adorned with a butterfly knot woven from the Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm Silk, emitting a hazy glow, enveloped by the power of time and space, making her impervious to all attacks.
In her arms, she held a ginseng plant with ten flowers and ten leaves, already in human form.
The ginseng fragrance that wafted from it, just a single breath, was better than several days of arduous cultivation. If she kept it by her side all day, her cultivation speed would be unimaginable.
Qiao Surong secretly tugged at Lin Zhan's clothes, signaling him to pay attention to A'li.
"Hiss..."
Instantly, Lin Zhan couldn't help but gasp.
A'li's attire was truly astonishing. It was likely that only Ji Mo in the entire Xuanling Realm could afford such grandeur.
How many lifetimes of good fortune had this little girl accumulated to have such great destiny?
"It seems that this little girl A'li is deeply favored by Mr. Ji, and Mr. Ji clearly intends to support her and make a move against the Human King Luo family."
Lin Zhan pondered and felt that Ji Mo's arrangement for them to find the culprit must have a deeper meaning, and it was not meant for them to die in vain.
So he immediately made up his mind and said, "Mr. Ji, we will definitely find the identity of the culprit and seek justice for A'li."
"Then I'll have to trouble you. I've planted a lot of vegetables and brewed a lot of wine recently. Please take some back to try."
Ji Mo, being skilled in human affairs, naturally knew that he couldn't let people help him for nothing; he had to show his appreciation.
But his home was really too poor, so he could only give some local specialties.
Afterward, he asked Huineng to take the two to pick vegetables and carry wine.
Lin Zhan and Qiao Surong were overjoyed. Mr. Ji was as generous as ever. They had already received such generous rewards before even doing anything.
As the two passed by the Desolate Ancient Soul Devouring Toad, they couldn't help but cast a provocative glance at it, their meaning self-evident.
What if you are a Demon Emperor? You can only catch insects, while we are Mr. Ji's confidants, the ones he is willing to entrust with important tasks.
Being able to show off in front of a Demon Emperor without any scruples greatly satisfied the vanity of the two, and their mood was extremely pleasant.
This time, Lin Zhan and Qiao Surong returned with full loads, receiving a large amount of fruits and vegetables, several jars of fine wine, and a large amount of Qiongyao Lingye.
With these resources, their cultivation would soar, and the overall strength of the Brahma Sect and the Xuan Shui Pavilion would also reach a new level.
Before leaving, Ji Mo brought two eggs and gave them to Qiao Surong, asking her to pass them on to Lan Rou.
For some reason, the thought of Lan Rou's incredibly cute appearance made his heart race.
"I'm not gay, I just see him as a little brother."
Ji Mo reassured himself, thinking that it was normal for good brothers to think about each other occasionally and give small gifts.
"Demon Venerable level demon beast eggs!"
When Qiao Surong received the two beast eggs, her hands were trembling.
Once these two demon beast eggs hatched, it would be equivalent to obtaining two Demon Venerable battle pets, which was truly precious!
Lin Zhan watched from the side, feeling a pang of jealousy.
Then he hated his daughter for being disappointing, too unfeminine, and not knowing how to please Mr. Ji at all.
Look at Qiao Surong, she taught a good disciple who was favored by Mr. Ji, and every time she received great benefits.
After the two left Ji Mo's place.
Lin Zhan couldn't help but say to Qiao Surong, "Pavilion Master Qiao, congratulations! Your Lan Rou is deeply favored by Mr. Ji. If their relationship can advance further in the future, and she becomes Mr. Ji's woman, the Xuan Shui Pavilion will surely soar!"
Qiao Surong covered her mouth and smiled, her mouth almost splitting to her ears.
She chuckled and said, "It's too early to say. Rou'er is of humble appearance and may not catch Mr. Ji's eye. As for Sect Master Lin, I see that Mr. Ji is very fond of children. If you seize the opportunity to have a second child, and it is favored by Mr. Ji, then you will surely rise with your daughter."
"Cough cough..."
Lin Zhan's old face turned red upon hearing this. "Pavilion Master Qiao, please don't joke. After Zi Han's mother passed away, I have remained chaste and have not touched any women since. How could I have a second child?"
"You haven't touched women for so many years, and you can endure it. I don't believe it."
Qiao Surong sized up Lin Zhan, then continued thoughtfully, "No man is not lustful, unless he is incapable."
Incapable?
Lin Zhan's face immediately turned unsightly. How could a man be called incapable? This was unbearable.
He gritted his teeth and said domineeringly, "Sister Rong, my body is very strong. How about you personally check and see if I am capable or not."
"Pah, you shameless..."
Qiao Surong spat and quickly walked away, ignoring Lin Zhan.
But for some reason, her face turned red uncontrollably.
Lin Zhan looked at Qiao Surong's voluptuous figure and her shy yet alluring demeanor, and suddenly felt his mouth dry. He couldn't help but blurt out, "Rongrong, how about we cooperate and have a child together."
