"It looks okay."
Xu Lexian took the bowl of soup from her and was about to take a bite.
"Um……"

What is the operation of drinking it yourself...
Tang Xin thought for a second, raised his arm and swung towards the soup bowl.
boom!
But the saint stopped it in time with her palm.
"I knew it……"
Xu Lexian said with a sneer.
Shit! She knew the soup was poisoned? The first attempt to murder her was a failure?
"You've been looking for a chance to embarrass me, right?" The Saint looked at her with her head held high, then finished the soup in one breath and continued, "You have to have personality. If you're the kind of soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others, it won't be fun..."
You think my kindness is wrong? Who wants to embarrass you?
"Are you OK?"
Tang Xin asked carefully.
"What do you mean nothing?" Xu Lexian raised an eyebrow. "You didn't succeed in sneak attacking me while I was eating. Are you upset?"
"I'm not a sneak attack person," said the eldest sister of Xuanling Sect with a frown. "Well, I heard that the chef of Xuanling Sect is a temporary worker and often mixes up high-quality ingredients with high-quality poisons... Do you feel anything wrong with your body?"
"Poison," Xu Lexian said nonchalantly, "Didn't I tell you that I've been soaking in medicinal baths since I was a child, so I have a very high resistance to poisons. I can't say that I'm immune to all poisons, but basically nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine poisons have no effect on me."
"You didn't tell me earlier, and made me worry for nothing!"
[Currently obtained murder points: 500]
"Why are you so fierce?" The Saint looked at him in confusion. "There's no need to tell you about this..."
"Ahem," Tang Xin also realized something was wrong and quickly coughed, "I'm just thinking about your safety. If anything happens to you, I and the Xuanling Sect will be held responsible."
"That's not a reason for you to be mean to me," Xu Lexian hooked her finger at her, "Are you ready to accept the punishment?"
"This is outrageous. This is the Xuanling Sect. I have done my best to play the master-servant game with you, but you still want to punish me?"
Tang Xin opened his arms and took a defensive stance.
"Yes, resist harder," Xu Lexian said with a nonchalant smile, "Anyway, no matter what, you have to warm the bed today..."
……
Because of the visit of the Holy Maiden of Holy Immortal Mountain, the atmosphere in Xuanling Sect became a little more serious than usual.
The elders worked diligently and overtime all day long, the disciples trained hard and did not dare to be lazy, and everyone in the sect, from top to bottom, was trying to leave a good impression on the Saint Lady.
But some people are not in such good shape.
"Senior sister, my senior sister..."
Shui Qiu waved the magic sword weakly.
When Shui Qiu thought of Senior Sister Tang Xin suffering inhuman torture, he couldn't eat or sleep well, let alone practice.
The damn saint must be torturing Senior Sister Tang!
Maybe he is holding a whip right now and whipping senior sister's little hand again and again, and then looking at her tearful look, he laughs wildly!
For the sake of the sect and to prevent the Holy Immortal Mountain from finding a reason to deal with them, the senior sister could only endure with tears, and even had to serve tea and water to the Saint Lady under such humiliation...
What a noble will this is!
Shui Qiu tried to find his master, the Great Elder Xuan Miao, to plead for mercy, but the master just shook his head helplessly, with the three words "I can't afford to offend" written all over his face.
The other party is a saint, a big shot who can shake the world with just her words. How can they resist?
Is it possible that Senior Sister will continue to be tortured like this?
Just as the girl was daydreaming, the Saint Lady happened to pass by the martial arts training ground with her maid.
"Besides training, there are some daily tasks. Do you do these boring things while staying in the sect?"
"A sect of immortal cultivation is not an entertainment venue, so where do all the interesting activities come from?"
It's senior sister!
Shui Qiu immediately noticed her senior sister who was wearing a plain robe and was still as beautiful as ever.
She quickly ran over, took out her handkerchief, and wiped the sweat off her senior sister, with a look of heartache.
"Senior Sister, hold on a little longer, these things will soon be over..."
"...?"
Tang Xin didn't quite understand what the girl was saying.
"Pure water body," Xu Lexian looked at Shui Qiu a few more times, "and... her breasts are so big! Who is this person?"
"Shui Qiu, the disciple of the great elder and the direct descendant of Xuanling Sect," Tang Xin touched the junior sister's head, and the latter immediately became well-behaved and obedient. "She is a good junior sister who has a good relationship with me."
"It's quite rare to have a single attribute physique," the saint said, holding her chin, "Can I touch your breasts? I want to confirm whether it's real or not."
"No, no one except Senior Sister!"
"Hey, hey, hey, it sounds like there's something wrong with what you said. Why can I do it?"
Amid the commotion, the acting chief, Senior Sister Yi Rouyi, hurriedly passed through the martial arts training ground.
"Wait a minute," the Saint called out to her, "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
"Uh……"
Seeing that it was the saint, Yirou quickly bowed.
After thinking for a moment, she explained.
"Yes. The news just came back to the sect that the Seventh Elder who was traveling outside seemed to have encountered some problems..."
Chapter 110: Searching for the Lost Su Ling
Some time ago, the seventh elder Ling Hua left the sect with his disciple, saying that Su Ling had encountered a bottleneck and needed to go outside to seek a solution.
Under normal circumstances, the core elders of the sect were not allowed to leave the mountain gate at will. Not to mention the daily work of the elders, even if people of their level appeared in the cultivation world rashly, it would cause quite a stir.
But the Seventh Elder was different. She basically played no role in the sect and was not used in any way. In addition, the cultivation of sword cultivators was indeed more complicated than that of ordinary cultivators. It seemed reasonable to take her apprentice out to practice.
In short, she definitely didn't plan to leave early just to avoid the Sect Master's punishment...
With Elder Linghua's realm, except for a few Jedi, there shouldn't be any problems whether he takes Su Ling to the Hundred Poison Mountains or the Great Western Swamp.
But just a few days ago, the elders of the sect received a message from Ling Hua.
"Su Ling is lost."
In the headmaster's hall, the people who heard the news all had a look of "what kind of expression should I make" on their faces.
He is not a half-grown child, but a living monk. How did he get lost?
"That's what the letter said," Xuanmiao explained, "When Linghua was traveling to a certain place, she found a group of suspicious people, so she followed them. Unexpectedly, the other party's strength was beyond her expectations. After a while, they shook her off. When she went back to look for Su Ling, she found that the person was gone."
"Suspicious character?"
Although Ling Hua has the lowest realm among the core elders of Xuanling Sect, his strength should not be underestimated, otherwise he would not be able to hold on to this position.
The one who can get rid of her must be at least a Nascent Soul or even higher level strong man.
"Su Ling is so unlucky," Shui Qiu said, "Is she okay now?"
"Linghua has her life lantern in her hand. The letter says that her life is not in danger," said the Great Elder, "but there may be some changes. We still have to find her as soon as possible."
Judging from the cause and course of the incident, it is hard to say whether Su Ling’s disappearance is related to that group of suspicious people.
"The suspicious person the elder mentioned," the Saint said at this time, "is he related to the recent cleanup plan?"
"Clean-up plan?"
Several disciples of Xuanling Sect showed puzzled looks.
"Ling Hua didn't find any definite evidence," Xuan Miao nodded slightly, agreeing with her, "but she said she felt it should be true. That guy's intuition has always been pretty good."
Xu Lexian nodded and thought for a while. Seeing that the people around him didn't quite understand, he opened his mouth to explain.
"The cleanup plan is an undercover investigation operation secretly carried out by some large immortal cultivation sects," she said. "The last time Qingshuimen showed up, the demon undercover agent scared a lot of people. After all, this is a sect with a certain regional influence."
Because it is a secret investigation, it cannot be publicized, and basically only the core elders and the head of the sect know about it.
"That's roughly what happened," after explaining the whole story, Elder Xuanmiao issued a task, "The most urgent task is to find the missing Su Ling. Yirou, you take a team of disciples and prepare to set off. The elders who will be supporting you will also be dispatched. Pay attention to your own safety."
"Yes!"
Yirou responded with a bow and breathed a sigh of relief.
Generally speaking, such important tasks are given to the chief disciple, similar to the previous operation in the Hundred Poison Mountains.
If he could find Su Ling and complete the mission, at least in terms of support from the sect disciples, he would far surpass his competitors!
As long as she wins the final competition, it doesn’t matter even if her contribution to the sect’s reputation is slightly lower!
"Wait a minute."
Unexpectedly, Xu Lexian spoke again at this time.
"It's such an important event, I want to participate too!"
