612: Chapter 23 Jing Tian, ​​Do You Want a Sister?

"To roam the Jianghu, of course."

Seeing Tang Xuejian's curiosity, Jing Tian beat Mr. Meng to the punch before he could respond.

Roaming the Jianghu?

Tang Xuejian's eyes lit up as she asked Mr. Meng, "Mr. Meng, is it true?"

Mr. Meng smiled and said, "You could say that."

"Then how about counting me in?" Tang Xuejian asked.

Hearing this, Jing Tian said in surprise, "You're giving up being the eldest Young Miss of the Tang family to roam the Jianghu? Are you out of your mind?"

Tang Xuejian's response was a heavy punch. "You're the one out of your mind! This Young Miss has been still for too long and wants some action; I want to go out into the Jianghu and be a heroine for once."

Jing Tian sized her up and curled his lip. "You, a heroine? With that violence, a female bandit is more like it."

"You..."

Tang Xuejian's teeth itched with hatred as she chased Jing Tian for a round of pummeling.

Mr. Meng shook his head as he watched the two chasing each other, then walked toward the courtyard where he was staying.

After returning to the courtyard, he released Hua Ying from the storage bag, letting her move freely, and then entered a state of Dao comprehension.

Towards evening, Jing Tian came over, saying he wanted to fulfill his previous promise of treating him to a meal for losing.

With a free dinner, Mr. Meng naturally wouldn't refuse.

When they arrived, Mr. Meng found that Xu Maoshan and He Bi Ping were also there.

He wasn't surprised by this.

Xu Maoshan and Jing Tian were closer than brothers; if there was good food, Jing Tian naturally wouldn't forget him.

Although He Bi Ping couldn't compare to Xu Maoshan, he also had a deep relationship with Jing Tian.

During the banquet, Jing Tian revealed that for the upcoming mission, two more people would join the team: one was Xu Maoshan, and the other was Tang Xuejian.

Xu Maoshan went without saying; as long as it was possible, Jing Tian wouldn't leave him behind. Moreover, the route this time would pass through Chang'an, and going to Chang'an was Xu Maoshan's wish. Jing Tian planned to find an opportunity to help him realize it.

Tang Xuejian, however, was the result of Jing Tian's compromise.

After Mr. Meng left, Jing Tian, out of the habit of bickering with his rival, had refused Tang Xuejian's joining.

Tang Xuejian countered by using the Yongan Pawnshop as a bargaining chip, checkmating Jing Tian: Yongan Pawnshop was under the Tang Clan's jurisdiction, and she was the Tang Clan's Young Miss and future Sect Head. If she refused to budge, Jing Tian's wish to become the boss of Yongan Pawnshop would likely never be realized.

Although Jing Tian had Pure Subtlety's promise as a backup, it concerned the Yongan Pawnshop, so he ultimately didn't dare be careless and had to agree to Tang Xuejian coming along.

As for whether there were other factors involved, only he himself knew.

Afterward, Tang Xuejian went back to the Tang Clan to find Tang Kun and told him about the matter.

Out of certain considerations, Tang Kun agreed to let Tang Xuejian go out and roam with Jing Tian and the others.

Thus, the matter was settled.

As for He Bi Ping, Jing Tian had also asked him, but he intended to stay at the Yongan Pawnshop, just like in the original plot.

Seeing that the members of the mission team were mostly gathered, Mr. Meng felt a stir in his heart and kept Jing Tian for a private chat after the banquet ended.

"Jing Tian, do you want a sister?"

Hearing this, Jing Tian was stunned for a moment.

"If you want one, I'll conjure one up for you."

Jing Tian: "???"

Before he could figure it out, Mr. Meng summoned the Demon Sword and made a light cut on his hand.

The sting of pain instantly brought Jing Tian back to his senses from his confusion, but before he could ask Mr. Meng the reason, he saw the Demon Sword glowing all over. Then, a streak of light flew out from the blade and landed on the ground, transforming into a ragged, pitiful-looking young girl.

This girl was none other than Long Kui!

Arriving in a strange environment, Long Kui was a bit lost and subconsciously scanned her surroundings.

Seeing Jing Tian, she was first startled, then showed a look of surprise: "Royal Brother!"

Royal Brother?

Jing Tian was bewildered, and in an instant, his arm was grabbed by Long Kui.

Thinking about the last time he had a scuffle with Tang Xuejian and was almost hacked by the Tang Clan people, Jing Tian subconsciously pulled his arm back and then defended himself: "Miss, you have the wrong person. My surname is Jing, and my name is Jing Tian. I'm not some Royal Brother."

Long Kui didn't believe him at all, but noticing Mr. Meng was present, she didn't continue to pull. She just stared at Jing Tian aggrievedly and said, "Royal Brother, I am Long Kui!"

"Do you not recognize me anymore?"

Without Long Yang's memories, Jing Tian naturally didn't recognize Long Kui.

However, he thought of Mr. Meng's previous words and Long Kui's way of appearing, feeling that there must be a hidden story. Mr. Meng might know, so he turned to look at Mr. Meng and asked, "Elder Brother Meng, what's going on?"

Mr. Meng answered with a question: "Remember when we first met, and I said I had a connection with you?"

Jing Tian was stunned, then nodded. "I remember, but I didn't believe it at the time, so I didn't ask much. Does it have something to do with this girl?"

Hearing Jing Tian use such an unfamiliar term as "this girl" to address her, Long Kui's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say much. Instead, she looked at Mr. Meng with him. She could faintly see that the Royal Brother before her really didn't seem to recognize her, and Mr. Meng seemed to know the reason.

Hearing Jing Tian's words, Mr. Meng replied, "Of course it's related. My connection with you is related to her."

"However, this matter cannot be explained in a short time."

"Let's head back first. Put on the helmet that Sect Head Pure Subtlety gave you, and I will have a way to make you understand."

Put on the helmet?

Jing Tian frowned and said, "Old man Pure Subtlety said that helmet should only be worn at the right time, otherwise people will die."

Mr. Meng pointed to Long Kui beside him and smiled. "Now is the right time."

Jing Tian looked thoughtful and said no more.

Mr. Meng had saved him more than once and had even taught him cultivation methods.

He believed Mr. Meng wouldn't harm him, but...

"It's probably inconvenient for her to go out like this. I'll go find some clothes for her to change into first."

Jing Tian pointed to the battle-damaged outfit on Long Kui and spoke thus.

The reason he didn't let Mr. Meng find the clothes was first, Mr. Meng was the elder brother and he was the younger brother. Second, he didn't know Long Kui's origin, and judging from her appearance, he faintly felt she might not be human. In this situation, being alone with Long Kui without Mr. Meng present made him a bit nervous.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Long Kui said joyfully, "Is Royal Brother going to find the broad-sleeved flowing immortal skirt for Long Kui?"

Jing Tian's expression stiffened.

The broad-sleeved flowing immortal skirt?

He knew about this dress; it came from the palace of the Ancient Kingdom of Jiang and had remained uncorrupted for a thousand years. It was a genuine treasure.

The problem was that this thing was extremely valuable.

Mr. Meng had mentioned it before, saying he wanted to give it to someone, but later for some reason, he didn't bring it up again.

Now Long Kui was asking for the broad-sleeved flowing immortal skirt as soon as she opened her mouth...

Jing Tian seemed to understand something, but he still tentatively said to Long Kui, "Can we change it for something else?"

Long Kui insisted, "If there is no broad-sleeved flowing immortal skirt, Long Kui would rather not wear anything."

Jing Tian: "..."

Mr. Meng smiled, put away the Demon Sword, reached out towards Long Kui, and activated Restraining Spirits and Dispatching Generals.

Sensing danger, Long Kui involuntarily switched forms; her clothes, pupils, and part of her hair instantly turned red, and her aura shifted from weak to fierce.

Seeing this sudden change, Jing Tian cried out in surprise, "Whoa, she turned red!"

Red-clothed Long Kui glanced at him, her brow slightly furrowed.

If possible, she didn't want Royal Brother to see her fierce side, but in her urgency, she couldn't care about that much.

In an instant, she looked at Mr. Meng, intending to attack him, but unexpectedly found she couldn't do it.

An invisible force had restrained her, and no matter how she mobilized her power, she couldn't break free.

Red-clothed Long Kui was startled, then asked Mr. Meng with a cold face, "What Demonic Technique are you using?"

Mr. Meng didn't respond, just looked at her with a look of reminiscence: "In your red form, you look even more like her."

Red-clothed Long Kui was confused, but Mr. Meng's next words made her heart tremble.

"Do you want to become an independent entity and coexist with the blue-clothed form of Long Kui?"
