Chapter 199 Changing Rooms
The Shangguan family is worthy of being the number one formation family in the Tianyan Continent. They are really wealthy and powerful. Lin Xia was shocked as soon as she got on the flying boat.
Although the exterior of the flying boat looks ordinary, the interior is decorated very luxuriously, with valuable gems everywhere.
Even the deck of the flying boat is paved with a whole piece of crystal-white mutton-fat jade. It feels warm and smooth when you walk on it, and you can feel the abundant spiritual energy, which is very comfortable.
Lin Xia felt itchy after seeing this. She really wanted to dig it out and make it into a blank jade talisman. When needed, she could make it into a talisman array. Wouldn't it be more practical than stepping on it like this?
In order to avoid herself from really being unable to control herself and taking action, Lin Xia did not dare to stay on the deck for long. She got her room card and hurried back to her room.
Each disciple who went to participate in the Four Families Exchange Conference had an independent room, but depending on their status in the family, as well as their cultivation level and qualifications, the room layout and size of each disciple were different.
As an alchemist with a special skill, and one of the only two alchemists in the Shangguan family's alchemy pavilion who could refine sixth-grade pills, Lin Xia was naturally allocated a room of his own, and it was a suite, which was completely sufficient for Lin Xia.
However, if Xiaochu, Uncle Shu and the others were all released, it would be difficult to turn around.
Just when Lin Xia was feeling a little conflicted, the disciple who had previously assigned her a room came to her and proposed to change her room to a bigger one.
Lin Xia thought about it and thought it was no big deal. It would also give the cubs at home more space to move around, so she agreed.
Unexpectedly, the disciple took Lin Xia to the third floor, where the direct descendants of the Shangguan family lived.
As for why they had to change rooms temporarily, the disciple did not hide it from Lin Xia. He whispered the story as they walked, and reminded Lin Xia to be more careful and not get affected, because Lin Xia would definitely suffer the loss.
It turned out that the disciple who was assigning the rooms made a mistake in his haste and assigned two people in the family who were notoriously at odds with each other, Shangguan Yanxi and Shangguan Jingyu, to very close rooms.
The two of them started arguing as soon as they met, especially Shangguan Yanxi, who wished she could poke a hole in Shangguan Jingyu. They were really incompatible.
In the short time that the flying boat had taken off, the two had already quarreled for several rounds. If there had not been more than a dozen elders on the flying boat, they would have probably started fighting long ago.
In the room sandwiched between the two of them lived Shangguan Yanyan, another direct descendant of the Shangguan family.
As direct descendants of the Shangguan family, they couldn't pretend to be ignorant when seeing this situation, especially since Shangguan Yanyan's room was sandwiched in the middle, so they could only go out and act as a peacemaker.
The idea was good, but the two people who were arguing didn't appreciate it at all.
Shangguan Yanyan failed to mediate the quarrel and instead the two men took their anger out on her, making her feel like she was being treated like a nobody. She simply didn't want to serve them anymore and would rather exchange a smaller room with the inner court disciples than live between the two of them and be bullied by them.
Especially for this trip, they will stay on the flying boat for a full seven months.
Lin Xia was the inner court disciple who was chosen to exchange rooms, because the room Lin Xia lived in was the best among all the inner court disciples.
The disciple who was assigned the room was from the outer courtyard of the Shangguan family, named Lin Anle. This time he was traveling on a flying boat and had received a mission from the outer courtyard mission hall, which rewarded him with points and spirit stones.
After explaining the whole story to Lin Xia, he was afraid that Lin Xia would not want to change, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Lin Xia.
Lin Xia didn't know how to approach Shangguan Yanxi and Shangguan Jingyu, and suddenly such a good opportunity came, which she was eager to take. However, Lin Xia did not show it. Instead, her expression became more serious, and she even stopped.
Lin Xia thought, if she behaved nicely this time, wouldn't that mean anyone who wanted to change rooms could do so during these seven months?!
From childhood to adulthood, it is possible that in the future in the Shangguan family, everyone will think that they can step on her.
Seeing that Lin Xia stopped halfway, Lin Anle thought that Lin Xia had changed his mind, so he started to speak nicely and asked Lin Xia to help him. He also promised Lin Xia with a painful heart that he would give Lin Xia half of the spirit stones and points from this mission.
Lin Xia knew when to stop and didn't want to push the other person too hard, so she just said lightly, "This won't happen again!" and continued walking forward.
Lin Anle reacted and quickly followed, thanking him repeatedly, "Thank you, Master Lin Dan, for your understanding."
When Lin Xia and Lin Anle arrived at the corridor on the third floor, Shangguan Yanxi and Shangguan Jingyu had just finished arguing for who knows how many rounds, and both sides were slamming the door and going into their respective rooms.
The sound of doors slamming was deafening, but no direct descendants came out to watch the fun, including Shangguan Yanyan who had already been affected.
Seeing that Lin Anle brought Lin Xia, Shangguan Yanyan knew that this was the inner courtyard disciple who had exchanged rooms with him. Without saying anything, he quickly packed up his things and left, leaving Lin Xia with a look that told her to wish him good luck before leaving.
"Mission accomplished." Lin Anle did not stay any longer and hurriedly chased Shangguan Yanyan away, as if there were jackals, tigers and leopards following him.
Lin Xia was quite calm. She stood in the corridor and looked left and right at the two rooms adjacent to hers before slowly closing the door of the room that now belonged to her.
During the past few years at the Shangguan family, although Lin Xia did not find out what the so-called forbidden technique was, she knew a lot about Shangguan Yanxi and Shangguan Jingyu.
These two people, one is the granddaughter of Shangguan Xiong, the head of the Shangguan family, and the other is the grandson of Shangguan Lin, the eldest elder of the Shangguan family. Both of them have single spiritual roots and excellent talent for cultivation. They can be said to be the most popular young people in the Shangguan family except Shangguan Jingyan.
Shangguan Yanxi's father died in an experience before Shangguan Yanxi was born, and his mother also passed away when he was very young. It can be said that Shangguan Yanxi was raised by Shangguan Xiong himself.
With the support of her grandfather, the head of the family, Shangguan Yanxi has always been able to act arrogantly in the Shangguan family. However, there is a mortal enemy in the family who is considered the eldest lady's biggest enemy in her life.
This mortal enemy is none other than Shangguan Jingyu.
Shangguan Jingyu does not have the same background as Shangguan Yanxi. His biological parents are still alive, but Shangguan Jingyu's parents had already ended their status as Taoist partners many years ago.
His mother left the Shangguan family early and disappeared within a few years. His father also left for training when Shangguan Jingyu was very young and never returned. All he knew was that the life tablet left in the family was still intact, indicating that he was still alive.
In this way, there is no difference between Shangguan Jingyu having parents and not having parents. Therefore, Shangguan Jingyu was also raised personally by Shangguan Lin, the eldest elder of the Shangguan family.
Among the information Lin Xia inquired about, there was one piece that came from an older servant of the Shangguan family. From that servant, Lin Xia learned that when Shangguan Yanxi and Shangguan Jingyu were very young, the relationship between the two was very good. At that time, the two were closer than ordinary siblings.
But no one knows what happened later, Shangguan Yanxi and Shangguan Jingyu began to become incompatible.
Although the reason is unclear, from the time Lin Xiachu arrived in Qionghua City and the information revealed when Shangguan Yanxi and Shangguan Jingyu fought on the street, the deterioration of the relationship between the two must be related to the forbidden technique mentioned by Shangguan Jingyu.
