"How old are you this year?" Hu Jiao spoke slowly, his tone was deep and serious, giving people a serious feeling.
Lin Yanli felt a little more at ease, "Reporting to senior, junior Lin Yanli, this year is 12 years old."
"How many years have you been practicing Taoism?"
"Nine years and seven months."
Hu Jiao's eyes flashed with strange light: "So, you started to enter the spiritual path when you were three years old?"
Lin Yanli sweated on his forehead and stammered: "Before, I just learned the basics. I really started practicing seriously when I was seven years old."
Hu Jiao's sharp eyes seemed to be looking into Lin Yanli's heart. Lin Yanli pressed forward and faced her with his eyes.
"Previously, Shanshui Di Newspaper published news about Jiang Wanli's reincarnation. Later, Jinling and his party, Jiang Wanli went to Rouge Country to meet Zhao Dan. If this news is correct, the person sitting in the position of the leader of Thousand Demons Sect at that time was
you!"
Hu Jiao hit the nail on the head and directly pointed out Lin Yanli's previous loopholes. He had an aura like a tiger and a leopard, and it seemed that as soon as Lin Yanli's identity was confirmed, he would immediately tear him into pieces.
Lin Yanli wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It was indeed me who went to Jinling at that time."
"Are you admitting that you are Jiang Wanli?"
Hu Jiao walked forward slowly, walked in front of Lin Yanli, looked down at Lin Yanli from a high position, his voice was cold.
Lin Yanli shook his head and made up his mind to pretend to be stupid. "Yanli can't understand what the senior said. A mother is a mother and a daughter is a daughter. No matter how much a daughter looks like her mother, how can a daughter replace her mother's identity?"
Hu Jiao's eyes suddenly brightened, especially when he saw the cuckoo crying blood in Lin Yanli's right eye, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
The two looked at each other for a long time. Hu Jiao turned around with his hands behind his hands and said, "You are indeed not like Jiang Wanli!"
Lin Yanli wandered around in confusion, took out a bronze mirror from her storage bag, looked at her face, raised her eyebrows and said, "Senior is wrong. All the uncles and aunts in the sect said that I and
Mother looks exactly the same!"
Hu Jiao paused, pondered for a long time, and said in a low voice: "It's not about your appearance."
After that, he took out a storage bag from the bookcase, which contained the Shanshui Di newspaper from a hundred years ago. He took out a piece of it and handed it to Lin Yanli.
Lin Yanli spread the book and saw that the news of Jiang Wanli's death was published in the most prominent position in the center of the Di newspaper. He said angrily: "This is nonsense!"
"So, Jiang Wanli is indeed not dead?"
"My mother is invincible, who can kill her?"
"That's true!"
Hu Jiao took a book from the cabinet, opened it casually, and stared at Lin Yanli again.
"Who is your father?"
Lin Yanli hesitated for a moment and then said hesitantly: "Lin Xifeng, who is now the school secretary at Guanhai Academy, Zhuyun Cave in Guangling Fairy Mountain, Antarctic Reef State."
"You hesitated just now!" The aura around Hu Jiao's body was like the tide of the sea, suddenly rising, and his voice became a bit colder.
Lin Yanli clasped her fists and pushed her hands and said, "My mother said that I can't reveal my father's information to others to avoid causing more trouble."
"Why did you reveal it to me?"
"Because the junior trusts the senior and believes that the senior will not reveal this matter."
Hu Jiao nodded and asked, "Do you usually like to read Shanshui Di newspaper?"
Lin Yanli shook her head and said, "I haven't seen much. I don't understand many parts."
"It's better to read more of the Shanshui Di newspaper. I'm free at the moment, so I can read two copies with you."
After a conversation, Hu Jiao was completely testing. Facing such an old fox, he really could not relax at all.
Fortunately, her acting skills are good and she managed to confuse the most difficult step!
The two sat down on the soft couch. Hu Jiao raised his hand and a pot of tea appeared out of thin air. After boiling it with Linghuo, he poured two cups of tea.
Lin Yanli sat opposite Hu Jiao, casually flipping through two landscape newspapers, and said sarcastically: "These seniors are so smart, they actually guessed Yanli's life experience pretty well."
Hu Jiao took a sip of tea from the cup and said softly: "These great scholars who edit Shanshui Di Bao have a lot of knowledge. It is not difficult to figure out your identity."
Lin Yanli blinked his eyes and said with some curiosity: "No wonder the senior wants the junior to read more Shanshui Di newspaper. It turns out that the Shan Shui Residence newspaper has already clearly discussed the identity of the junior. Since the senior already knows who my father is, then what?
Why do you ask the juniors?"
Hu Jiao put down the tea bowl and closed his eyes slightly, obviously not intending to answer Lin Yanli's question.
Lin Yanli had no choice but to continue reading. Perhaps because of the depressed atmosphere, her mouth felt a little dry. She took a sip from the cup. The astringent taste of the tea made her frown.
This frown made Hu Jiao suddenly open his eyes.
Lin Yanli's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that was bad.
Is this old fox even testing the tea?
Sure enough, Hu Jiao suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Yanli's wrist, his face looking terrifyingly cold.
"Can you taste this tea?"
Lin Yanli shook her head decisively, "Junior just thinks this tea tastes bad. If senior allows me, I would like to make a pot of tea myself."
Hu Jiao was stunned for a moment, then released his palm and acquiesced to Lin Yanli's idea.
Lin Yanli took out the teapot from the storage bag, and then took out a green jade pot. He called up the spiritual water into the pot with his fingers, and added some tea leaves into it.
"Senior, do you want it sweeter or lighter?"
Hu Jiao took a sip and said with some surprise: "Hundred Flower Cave, the nectar essence of the Flower Goddess!"
Lin Yanli exclaimed: "Senior is indeed well-informed, can I, junior, adjust the sweetness according to my own preferences?"
Hu Jiao nodded.
With Hu Jiao's consent, Lin Yanli showed off his skills and threw some spiritual plants into the pot. Finally, he poured some nectar essence into it and boiled it over high fire.
Soon, a faint floral fragrance floated in the room.
Lin Yanli wiped her fingers across the storage bag on her waist, took out a set of teacups, poured a cup for Hu Jiao, and said with a smile: "Senior, you might as well have a drink, it will definitely taste better than this bitter tea!"
Hu Jiao picked up the tea, took a sip of the tea aroma, and tried to take a sip.
The sweetness of the nectar instantly fills the taste buds, leaving a fragrant aroma on the lips and teeth, leaving an endless aftertaste.
It is indeed a good tea, but a little too sweet.
Hu Jiao narrowed his eyes.
In his sight, the girl's mouth was raised, her face was full of happiness, and her bright smile made his stiff cheeks loosen a little.
He raised the corners of his lips with difficulty and smiled at Lin Yanli, "You are very different from your mother. This sweet tea is good, but it is still too sweet. If you are using it to entertain guests, you should add less nectar.
.”
Lin Yanli drank the tea with a look of enjoyment on her face and said seriously: "Senior, you are such a good person. When I make tea like this at home, my mother won't take a lick of it!"
Hu Jiao nodded slightly and said: "I have dealt with your mother many times. You are much better than your mother. I am very pleased. I heard that you are practicing kendo. I think that my kendo skills are pretty good. Are you interested?
