80.Peer

May 22nd, sunny

Early in the morning, when Shen Shi opened the stone gate and walked out, the fresh sea breeze blew in the face, and the sky was as blue as blue. It looked like another sunny day. As he moved forward, he saw a familiar figure in front of him. Sun You stood on the roadside and waved to him with a smile.

Shen Shi said "Eh" and went over to laugh, "It's strange. Why did you get up so early today?"

Sun You said, "I heard that you have gone to the Devil Island. How can I not hurry up, or I will really be left behind by you." He said and smiled, put his hand on Shen Shi's shoulder, and said: "I can't see that you are really talented at the Five Elements Technique. You can actually go to the demon island in half a month. How did you do it?"

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I haven't done anything special. Anyway, the water archery will be completed quickly. Maybe it's because our seaside is so humid?"

Sun Youruo nodded thoughtfully and said, "Don't tell me. It's really possible. I knew I would choose water archery, too."

Shen Shi smiled and said, "Then go to the Five Elements Hall again."

Sun You bared his teeth like toothache, smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly looked at the road behind Shen Shi, then frowned slightly, but pulled Shen Shi to the roadside and gave way.

Shen Shi looked back and saw several people coming among the many disciples who went to the Green Fish Fair in the early morning. The first three women were familiar with each other. They were Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu, and the other one was He Xiaomei. They walked side by side, talking to each other in whispers, with a relaxed smile on their faces. Not far behind them, Jiang Hongguang followed them.

Shen Shi was moved. He felt that Jiang Hongguang had been following He Xiaomei all these days.

Three young and beautiful girls came over there. Zhong Qinglu stood in the middle of the room. She was a bit of the elder sister of the three. Sun You looked at the woman who was arrogant and often ridiculed and despised Ping Yue and kept away from her. He whispered in Shen Shi's ear, "Look at Zhong Qinglu's air. I don't know what she is proud of. Our Sun family is so much stronger than her Zhong family. I don't have such an attitude!"

Shen Shi smiled and said in a low voice, "Forget it. I didn't come here to annoy you. What do you think she did?"

Sun You curled up his mouth in disapproval, but he said nothing more. There are three girls in front of Jiang Hongguang and silently follow behind. A group of people just walked by, and naturally they saw Shen Shi and Sun You standing on the roadside. He Xiaomei and Zhong Qingzhu both smiled and nodded to greet them. Zhong Qingzhu's eyes also stayed on Shen Shi for a moment.

As for Zhong Qinglu, she seemed as proud as Pingyue. She didn't look at them very much, but for some reason, Jiang Hongguang, who was standing behind the three girls, suddenly felt complacent.

Sun You and Shen Shi's eyes fell on Jiang Hongguang for no other reason, because the guy's eyes suddenly became a little harsh, his face looked good, as if he had done something, even with a sense of disdain.

Sun You looked at him, couldn't help but lower his voice, and whispered to Shen Shi in a voice that only Shen Shi could hear: "I said, what is Jiang Hongguang proud of suddenly over there?"

Shen Shi didn't understand either. He shook his head and said blankly, "I don't know." After thinking for a while, he glanced at Sun You and whispered, "I've been busy going to the demon island these two days, but I haven't noticed the situation on the island. Did you lose to him because you were confused about something?"

Sun You was stunned. He seemed to think about it carefully. Then he shook his head and said, "No, you know, I've always been unhappy with that guy. He was too lazy to talk to him. How could this happen?"

The two men looked at each other, and at the same time looked back, they saw that Jiang Hongguang's face was still mysterious and proud. He glanced at them lightly, then took a step forward quietly, as if he was a little closer to He Xiaomei.

The three girls were about to pass them. When Sun You and Shen Shi were watching Jiang Hongguang, who was a little confused, suddenly Zhong Qinglu, who had been staring at the top of the table, suddenly stopped, turned to this side, and said, "Shen Shi, come here, please. I have something to tell you."

"Huh?"

Shen Shi was shocked for a moment, and then found that no matter Sun You or Zhong Qingzhu and He Xiaomei in front of him, including Jiang Hongguang, their faces seemed to be similar and strange, and they all looked at themselves at the same time.

Shen Shi rubbed his eyebrows in some distress, and then went over with a dry smile.

On the seaside road in the morning, several young men and women of the same family for three years stood there, looking at Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu behind a big tree on the other side of the secluded beach, and their faces all showed strange expressions.

He Xiaomei was the first one to break the silence. She was surprised to see that the pretty girl's face was a bit weird and said, "Honey, I'm not mistaken. Sister Qinglu actually took Elder Martial Brother Shen to talk there."

Next to her, Jiang Hongguang stared at the two people under the big tree in the distance. His face also looked amazed. Instead, he diluted his original complacency and said, "When did they get together and make up?"

Sun You immediately shook his head and said, "It's impossible. I didn't see them talking alone together. You're right, Younger Martial Sister Zhong..."

At the end, he casually asked Zhong Qingzhu, but when he turned to look, he was stunned. Zhong Qingzhu didn't say a word, and it seemed that he didn't hear his own question. He just stared at Shen Shi with a puzzled look on his face.

Under the big trees on the beach, the strong and straight trunks block the public's view. From afar, only Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu can be seen. Shen Shi, who was under the tree, smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do for you?"

Zhong Qinglu said, "Yes, but what's your expression? Why are you so reluctant?"

Shen Shi scratches his head and glances at the distance quietly. "I'm fine," he says. "I'm afraid they might find out about our deal."

Zhong Qinglu waved her hand and said, "What are you afraid of? If you don't tell me, who will know? Can't I come here and talk to you?"

Shen Shi smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, yes. Er, what do you want to tell me?"

Zhong Qinglu looked at him, and his face showed some rare hesitation. But after a moment, she reached into her arms and took out a small white jade bottle. She handed it to Shen Shi and said, "Here you are."

Shen Shi reaches out his hand to take it. He first looks up at Zhong Qinglu. She seems to naturally turn her head to look around. After a little meditation, he opens the bottle stopper and suddenly a light fragrance of medicine comes out. Shen Shi's face changed a little. He smelt it carefully, then tilted the bottle and poured it down. A pale yellow pill rolled out.

"Yang Qi Pill?" Shen Shi was surprised and said, "I gave you the Lingjing last night. Would you like to have it refined this morning?"

Zhong Qinglu chuckled, but then seemed to think of something. She quickly stiffened her face and sneered: "How could that be? There are two Qi pills in this bottle, which I have refined before. I have refined pills ten times in March, and I succeeded twice. But I took them and sold them for Lingjing. Now there are only two." After saying that, she looked at Shen Shi, remained silent for a moment, and said,

"Now that I have done business, I still intend to do it for a long time. It's not very useful for me to keep these two. Let me give them to you first."

Shen Shi nodded, put the Qi nourishing pill back into the jade bottle and took it into his arms. At the same time, he said thoughtfully, "That means you have refined pills for about five times. Hmm..."

Zhong Qinglu looked at the expression on Shen Shi's face, and suddenly got angry. She glared at him and said angrily: "It's hard to become one for five times, okay? What do you mean? Besides, I told you the scandal first. It's not clear about the alchemy. Maybe I will fail all the time later. Don't cry at that time!"

Shen Shi smiled and said, "That's right. You reminded me. Otherwise, that furnace is worth two hundred Holy Crystals. Ten Holy Crystals are needed for one Qi Pill. If you fail twenty times in a row, I will run away..."

"Hello!" Zhong Qinglu was so angry that she kicked him and said angrily, "What has failed twenty times in a row! Do you think I am a fool?"

Shen Shi smiled but didn't say anything. He suffered from Zhong Qinglu's kick and didn't feel any special pain when she kicked her foot. Apparently, Zhong Qinglu kicked her at will. He didn't really use any strength. Then he looked up at Zhong Qinglu and said softly: "Although I haven't learned how to make pills, I know that mistakes in making pills are common. It's OK if I'm going to fail."

Zhong Qinglu snorted, pursed her lips slightly, and looked at him without saying anything.

At the herring fair, people parted ways after saying goodbye. Shen Shi came all the way to the south wharf. As before, more than 20 senior brothers and sisters had already stood here waiting, apparently going to the demon island to catch demons.

There were many familiar faces in the crowd, including Chen Tang's four people who had been in the limelight in the past few days. Obviously, these high-ranking disciples of the gas refining realm often went to the demon island. But to think about it, as long as they had enough strength and were not afraid of the accompanying risks, the task of demon hunting was actually a very stable and efficient task to obtain the remuneration of the spirit crystal.

A few days ago, when I went to the demon island, there were dozens of people in a boat. Shen Shi was the only one in the middle level of the gas refining realm and the only newcomer of this generation. So many people were impressed with him. However, this time, Shen Shi soon found that there was another young man of his own age in the crowd. At the same time, standing in the crowd, he became a center, surrounded by many senior brothers and sisters.

He knew that young man. In fact, almost no one on the Black Fish Island did not know him or his name.

He is Ganze.
