When she came out of Wu Yuezhu's house, Shen Qinglan had already understood all the information she should know.

Wu Yuezhu's intention to win over was too obvious. She entered the Demon Slaying Tower alone and was helpless. With her strength, she would be beaten out very quickly.

Although it all depends on their own strength in the end, the choice of opponent can be influenced by others.

Shen Qinglan understood that it was like catching piglets. Wu Yuezhu found a certain demon cultivator as his opponent, but the opponent knew he was outmatched and would avoid it.

At this time, Shen Qinglan and the monk can help block the blockage.

Everyone will pick on weak opponents, but other people's teams have more people, and others also like the same opponent, so they will intervene.

This is so different from what she thought, and there is no sense of teamwork at all?

But it feels reasonable. The later you are eliminated, the richer the rewards from the alliance will be.

Does anyone really care about those islands? Most of them care about the benefits they get.

Everyone was in the same building, and Shen Qinglan took a few steps back to her residence.

Her room was adjacent to the monk's room, so when she saw the person in front of the monk's room, she couldn't help but be stunned.

That man was also in the late stage of foundation building. He didn't look like a common monk, and he had a scholarly air. "Fellow Taoist Wukong, why don't you speak?"

The person he called Fellow Daoist Wukong was standing at the door with a dark look on his face. He seemed to be relieved when he saw Shen Qinglan, "You're back!"

That warm tone confused Shen Qinglan. Wasn't it so awkward before?

Where does this come from?

"Yes." She replied with one word, and planned to go back to her room first. The monk who looked like a scholar should be an acquaintance of the monk.

As soon as the monk saw that she was about to enter the room, he immediately said, "Hey, I have something to do with you. Go in and talk. Go in and talk."

After saying that, he followed Shen Qinglan into the house regardless of the scholar and monk.

The scholar monk was anxious, "Fellow Taoist Wukong, what exactly is the matter I discussed with you? This friend of yours can also come with us!"

Shen Qinglan turned to look at the monk with a questioning look in her eyes.

The monk had no choice but to stop and said, "Donor Jiang, this nine-story demon tower is ultimately based on personal strength. I think what you said is not feasible, so let's forget it."

The scholar said, "Fellow Taoist Wukong believes in me. With our friendship, why don't you still believe in me?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Qinglan and asked, "Who is this fellow Taoist?"

Just as Shen Qinglan was about to speak, the monk answered first, "This is my good friend, whose surname is Shen."

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Shen, I'm Jiang Sheng in Linhai Pavilion."

Shen Qinglan cupped her fists and returned the greeting, "Friend Jiang Dao."

Jiang Sheng smiled and spoke to her, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you and Daoist Wukong came from the outside world and are not as familiar with the rules of the Demon Slaying Conference as we are. If you come with us then, you will definitely be better than you two fighting alone."

It’s better to fight alone.”

The monk's expression changed, and before Shen Qinglan could speak, he said, "Donor Jiang, we have made up our minds, so we won't bother you. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

After saying that, he entered Shen Qinglan's room, closed the door, and sat down on the Taishi chair in the room.

Shen Qinglan saw that his face was dark and silent, so she asked, "Isn't this person the reason why you don't want to gather early?"

The monk took a deep breath and let it out again, "I never knew someone would talk so much. It makes my head hurt!"

Shen Qinglan stared, "You actually have the nerve to dislike other people for talking too much and making their heads hurt?!"

Monk:……

What do you mean, are you very noisy?

Receiving the monk's doubtful look, Shen Qinglan nodded affirmatively, "Before I met you, I didn't know there was such a talkative person in this world!"

This guy has no awareness of his gluttony and bad-mouthed habits.

The monk kept turning the rosary beads in his hands, and said in an extremely impatient tone, "I met this person when I first came to the East China Sea. At first, he seemed to be okay, with good cultivation and a moderate level of progress and retreat. Who would have thought that after getting to know him, he completely changed."

, from time to time, he would quote modern evidence and explain some great truths. But I have never read the things he said! It’s so annoying!”

"Then you hid?"

The monk nodded helplessly, "If I don't hide, my heart will be broken by him."

Shen Qinglan smiled and said, "Then he should be suitable for your Buddhist practice. He chants sutras every day and never stops talking."

The monk who was ridiculed sighed heavily, "With his temperament, he will definitely bother me every day. What should I do now?"

"If you don't want to see me, just refuse. If you don't want to agree, just say no. The first step in life is to stay away from people and things that make you upset."

"Then you don't know the perseverance of this fellow Daoist Jiang."

Shen Qinglan sighed helplessly, "Then just bear with it, there are still one to one month left, and we will go back soon."

At this time, she thought of another thing, "Did you tell him that I am also from the Eastern Region?"

"How is it possible? I don't even want to talk to him. How can I mention you?"

Shen Qinglan looked more serious, "But what he just said was that you and I came from the outside world. We entered Xianlin Court less than an hour ago! How did he know the news about me?"

The monk raised his head in astonishment, "In this case, what he just said about seeing me entering Xianlin Academy may not be true."

"Have you been familiar with him before?"

The monk nodded, "He is indeed familiar. I killed people with him in Mingyue City, but since I found out that he was too noisy, I hid and have never seen him again."

Shen Qinglan was a little confused, "This is quite strange. You two have been separated for a while. Who would know your relationship with him and bring him out to win over you as soon as you enter the alliance?"

"Win over?" The monk was puzzled.

Shen Qinglan also explained what Wu Yuezhu meant. Basically, Wu Yuezhu and Jiang Sheng had the same intention, to build a small team.

They regard the Demon Slaying Conference as a competition, and fighting against monsters is even more like fighting against humans!

Shen Qinglan was troubled by these twists and turns. Even though she looked like she was from the outside world, listening to Jiang Sheng's tone, she was very sure.

"Oh, I just rejected Wu Yuezhu. You have Jiang Sheng here again. We are quite popular!"

"It's probably during this time that the young monk has gained some fame in the East China Sea without even realizing it."

Shen Qinglan suddenly thought of another thing, "You didn't want to find this fellow Taoist Jiang Shengjiang to join the Demon Slaying Conference together, right?"

The monk's face darkened, he really had this idea.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha." Shen Qinglan smiled so exaggeratedly that the monk's face turned as black as ink.

He muttered, "What's so funny? It's the first time I've received such an important task, so I naturally have to plan ahead."

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but nodded in agreement, but the corners of her mouth that curved wider and wider revealed her true thoughts!

The monk finally laughed out loud, "If I can tolerate his noisy problem, he is actually pretty good."

Shen Qinglan was curious, "In that case, why doesn't your master send one more person?"

The monk's smile suddenly froze as if a spell had been cast on him.

Shen Qinglan: She had never seen the monk's current expression. He had never been more solemn.

She must have asked some taboo question, and was wondering whether to remain silent or change the subject.

"My junior brother." The monk's voice was a little strange.

"Your junior brother?"

"Well, he originally came with me, but he died. Just a few months before departure, he was besieged by evil cultivators."

Shen Qinglan regretted it to death. Why did she ask this question? There must be a reason for such a big guy. Why did she ask so much?!

The monk started talking and had no intention of holding back, "Originally, there were other people in the temple who could come, but my master refused. My master said that this trip is an explanation for himself and my junior brother."

An explanation for yourself?

"After my junior brother died, I chanted sutras under the pagoda all day long to save him. I didn't plan to attend any more demon-slaying conferences, and I thought it would be better to become a monk in the secular world and live out my life."

Shen Qinglan guessed that the death of the monk's brother should have something to do with the monk.

"Master then asked me to walk alone. I set out from the Western Region very early. On the way, I went to the temple where we practiced in the secular world and saw the great monk Zeng Jin who taught us."

Shen Qinglan asked at the right time, "Are you and your junior brother starting at the same time?"

The monk said before that he only stayed in the secular world for a few years, which should be not long after his junior brother entered the world.

The monk smiled bitterly, "He is my twin brother."

Shen Qinglan:......

How can we turn back time to before she asked this stupid question?!

The monk saw Shen Qinglan's self-blaming expression and said, "It's okay. Master said that only if I can face this matter calmly can I give an explanation to my junior brother and me."

So the monk actually didn't let go of this matter, otherwise he wouldn't have the expression he has now.

Shen Qinglan didn't dare to speak anymore, she was afraid of asking any stupid questions again.

"I was the one who provoked those evil cultivators, but in the end it was he who blocked them for me."

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but said, "After my father, mother, and brother were bitten to death by the red-eyed fox demon, I decided to live a good life for them, especially my brother, who was not married yet.
