The Name of... Gomoku!

It's impossible to say, it's something I'd rather die than say.

This undergarment is in my Storage Ring. If something happens and I tell everyone, I won't be able to explain it. Wouldn't that cause a huge uproar?

Etc!

That doesn't make sense either!

You could say you were carried away by a squirrel, a raccoon dog, a pangolin, or something similar.

Yes, wasn't that what I wanted to say before?

However, it's too late now; it's too late to change my mind...

"Oh, I see... then it must have been carried away by some animal. Don't worry..."

The girl didn't have the slightest doubt about Jiang Lin's words.

Those innocent eyes were so harmless they were almost criminal.

It's like you're trying to trick a little kid into opening the door, saying the uncle isn't a bad person...

And then people actually believed it...

Oh my god, why do I feel so guilty?

"Please take care of me these days, sister. Come with me to the courtyard."

The girl bowed again, a pure smile on her face.

But beneath that smile lay a hint of forced smile and a strained spirit.

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss."

With his hands clasped in front of him, Jiang Lin bowed deeply.

Running away now might alert the enemy; we can find a chance to leave later.

Walking with the girl along the forest path, I noticed she was quiet and rarely spoke.

The girl's steps were also slow, each step she took was small, with her hands resting on her chest.

In addition, the girl was wearing white Embroidered Shoes, giving her an elegant and graceful appearance.

If Jiang Lin hadn't sensed her earlier action of clearing the bushes, he would have genuinely thought she was a delicate young lady from a wealthy family, the kind of sickly girl you'd see in a period drama, because she looked just like her.

They followed the girl to a small courtyard.

There are patches of flowerbeds in the courtyard, but there are no bright and beautiful flowers in them; most of them are in simple and elegant colors.

However, Jiang Lin could tell that these simple flowers were actually extremely precious medicinal herbs, all of which were used to strengthen blood and replenish qi.

The Grandma Hua's Clinic Sun Moon Sect, also has these herbs, but aside from teaching her to identify medicinal materials, it rarely sells them to others.

but...

Jiang Lin looked at her, dressed in white, walking in the flowerbed.

Which of these plain flowers is truly the most delicate...?

I walked up to the Bamboo House and pushed open the door.

A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted towards me; it was the unique scent of the girl in front of me.

The fragrance is not only pleasant but also carries the scent of ink and books.

Looking at the things in the room, there were only books, paintings, and inkstones.

It would be strange if it didn't have the air of ink and paper...

The Four Arts.

The room has everything you could need.

In addition, the girl in front of him was sickly and frail, and she was raised in a place with such abundant Spiritual Power.

Jiang Lin guessed that she was the granddaughter of the old patriarch of the Empty Spirit Sect.

That is, the girl who held the Literary Gathering to find a husband...

Wait!

Jiang Lin suddenly thought of something!

When he said he wanted Mo Li to have a litter of children for him, the whole audience was shocked, and even the patriarch of the Empty Spirit Sect made a move!

In other words, Mo Li is that ancestor's granddaughter!

And the girl in front of him... is that Mo Li?

For a moment, looking at the girl in front of him, Jiang Lin felt quite conflicted.

That system was really stirring up trouble.

However... this girl is really quite pitiful.

Although she is the most precious flower of the Empty Spirit Sect, and although she has her own fairyland back mountain with abundant Spiritual Power.

But for the girl, wasn't this place also a prison?

As for why she didn't have her maidservants stay with her all the time...

It's very simple. Jiang Lin once overheard a magic array while chatting with that guy, Tai Er Zhenjun.

This magic array can concentrate all the Spiritual Power of the land onto one person.

Of course, this kind of dedication is not a one-time thing, but a slow and gradual process.

And this person is the Array Core the magic array.

However, this kind of magic array is extremely domineering.

If you are a cultivator, staying in this place for too long will drain your Spiritual Power, even completely drain it.

Of course, the local indigenous people are an exception, such as the Spirit Ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms and some small animals, who will not be greatly affected.

However, due to the formation, they can only possess intelligence at most, and are basically unable to take human form. Moreover, their intelligence is only semi-mature, like that of a five or six-year-old girl.

However, this is also one way to protect the girl.

After all, if the Demons is too strong and threatens the girl's safety, that would be troublesome.

But Jiang Lin felt that this worry was a bit unnecessary...

It's quite rare for such a fairyland to produce demons with warped minds.

Furthermore, if Demons were truly mature enough to transform into human form, it wouldn't dare to act rashly, since this is the back mountain of the Empty Spirit Sect, unless that demon wants to die...

Jiang Lin sensed that all the Spiritual Power in the back mountain was poured into this girl, and the girl was aware of this. Therefore, even if the Empty Spirit Sect wanted a cultivator to accompany the girl, Jiang Lin guessed that, based on the girl's personality, she would refuse.

After all, the cultivator's Spiritual Power would be drained in just 5 days.

Moreover, Jiang Lin felt that the Empty Spirit Sect was completely unnecessary.

If we do that, it will have a hint of demonic cultivation.

Jiang Lin felt that the Empty Spirit Sect would at least not do that.

It should be three days...

If you only need to stay with the girl for three days, you should be able to manage.

In the past, each maid who entered the back mountain could only stay for three days. After entering once, due to the influence of the magic array, she would Liao Liao be able to enter again for three years.

What is the maidservant good at?

Turning around, Mo Li looked at Jiang Lin and asked with a smile. At this moment, Jiang Lin saw the pure joy in the girl's heart.

This is the joy of finally having someone to accompany you.

Too...

Although there are things like Spirit Mushroom Sister and ginseng in the jungle, it's incredibly rare for Spirit Mushroom Sister to have the mental capacity of a five or six-year-old girl.

Which girl doesn't want to be able to chat with people her own age?

Not just anyone can enter the back mountain. After all, this is the most precious girl in the Empty Spirit Sect, and it's impossible for one to be sent in every three days. It also definitely can't be a boy.

Those "maids" will definitely have to undergo various tests.

Otherwise, if something happens, wouldn't it just explode?

As for what he's good at, it's probably just to talk about the Four Arts with this girl...

But the Four Arts... damn... this... seems really not going to work...

I can't actually play guitar, play Flying Chess, talk about Jin Ping Mei, or draw pictures in a notebook...

"Um... sister?"

Looking at Jiang Lin, the girl asked innocently.

Finally, Jiang Lin pointed to the chessboard...

The girl's eyes lit up. "Sister, are you good at Go? That's great..."

"No..." Jiang Lin shook her head, "Actually, this servant has a new method I'd like to teach Miss."

"Freshly delivered?"

"Yes, it's called... Gomoku!"
