After the chief manager brought Gu Qingxi in, he backed out.
Gu Qingxi walked forward and saw a figure standing in front of the bookshelf with his hands behind his hands, flipping through books.
"Your Majesty." Gu Qingxi spoke softly and then saluted.
The Demon King slowly turned around, looked at Gu Qingxi, smiled and said: "No need to be polite. Tianchen's little apprentice, Gu Qingxi, right?"
"Yes." Gu Qingxi was not surprised that the demon king knew her name. The demon king must have investigated it, and the demon king and the master should have a good relationship.
However, why did Master not tell them before they set off to visit the Demon King when they arrived in the Demon Realm, or to bring a message or gift to the Demon King?
Gu Qingxi found out the reason not long after. After she found out, she felt so complicated that she couldn't explain it in words.
"Sit down, the tea is on the table, pour it for yourself." The demon king put the books on the bookshelf, then slowly walked over and sat down too.
"Your Majesty, why did you come to see me?" Gu Qingxi asked.
The Demon King smiled slightly: "Why, I can't talk to you if I have nothing to do?"
"Of course." Gu Qingxi also smiled.
"How is your master these years?" asked the Demon King.
"It's good, but I made him worry a lot." Gu Qingxi said sheepishly.
She burned the master's beloved bamboo forest. The master must have been very worried when he learned that she fell into the demon world. For her sake, the master took his senior brother to the demon world to marry him.
"I think he didn't think it was a worry, but rather he was happy with it." Because you are very good. There is another sentence that the Demon King did not say. The Demon King laughed as he said it, and saw that Gu Qingxi did not pour the tea.
He personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Qingxi and pushed it in front of Gu Qingxi.
Gu Qingxi thought of her master's care and love for her, a smile appeared on her face, and she said: "Master is really good to me. My master is the best master in the world." After saying that, he thanked the Demon King for the tea.
Then he picked up the tea and took a sip.
"Yes, your master is not only the best master in the world, but also the best friend in the world. But your master has despised me. After helping me put down the rebellion, he left and told me not to talk to him if nothing happened.
." The demon king said with a smile.
What the Demon King didn't say was that Mo Tianchen also said that if anything happens, just ask someone to give him a message and he will come back to help him. But the Demon King never did this because he knew what Mo Tianchen was thinking about.
Such a life.
There is no need to tell this to the girl in front of you.
He looked at Gu Qingxi with admiration and relief: "Your master is very good, and so are you."
The Demon King was impressed by the fact that Gu Qingxi did not hesitate to break the rules of the game to save the green book, and he also had a very high opinion of Gu Qingxi in his heart.
Faced with such a straightforward compliment, Gu Qingxi smiled and said generously: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."
"Did you hide the magic talisman on Lu Shu before he entered the ring?" the Demon King asked.
"Yes." Gu Qingxi nodded. She used the fifth-grade talisman across the barrier, which actually put a heavy load on her body. She now felt a slight pain in her chest.
"Why are you thinking about hiding the spirit talisman? You knew from the beginning that Green Book was no match for that person, and you even knew that that person would kill him?" The Demon King asked the question in his heart.
Gu Qingxi put down the tea cup and said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I just want to report this matter to you. That cultivator, Leng Yanli, is Green Book's opponent. I suspect that he is an evil cultivator."
When the demon king heard this, his face condensed: "Do you have any evidence?" The evil cultivator is not a trivial matter. If it is true, measures must be taken immediately.
Gu Qingxi shook his head: "I didn't."
The Demon King was startled, he did not expect Gu Qingxi to say this.
"I really have no evidence. All this is just my suspicion. Before I came to the demon world, my friend was ambushed by an evil cultivator and was poisoned. The little cat demon who lived in Prince Mo's Mansion was also poisoned.
The number of people coming to participate in the competition today has dropped significantly. I suspect it is also related to evil cultivators." Gu Qingxi expressed her inference.
The Demon King's face became more and more solemn. The number of contestants dropped sharply today. He also felt that there was a big problem, but so far the reason has not been investigated.
If what Gu Qingxi said was true, it would be troublesome.
The Ten Thousand Monsters Festival has just begun, and there are various activities after the Ten Thousand Monsters Competition.
If evil cultivators take the opportunity to cause trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.
"If Leng Yanli is really an evil cultivator, what does he want to do when he sneaks into the demon world? Participate in competitions, get rewards, and want the Qingling Sword?" Gu Qingxi frowned and guessed.
The Demon King chuckled lightly at this time and said: "Actually, that is not the Qingling Sword."
Gu Qingxi was stunned.
After the Demon King finished speaking, he took out a wooden box from his storage space, placed it on the table, and opened it for Gu Qingxi to see.
After opening the wooden box, Gu Qingxi saw a sword lying in the wooden box.
"What a sword." Gu Qingxi couldn't help but whisper.
The blade of the sword was bright and shone with a cold light. It was also filled with aura.
This is truly an artifact.
Although it was an artifact, Gu Qingxi did not feel that this artifact had its own sanity.
"There is a seal in the box, which seals the sword body and its mind." The demon king explained.
Gu Qingxi was a little confused.
The Demon King explained again: "This sword has a weird and ferocious nature, so I want to find a destined owner for it, which may be able to suppress his ferocious nature."
Ancestor Wanling suddenly said at this moment: "This is not the Qingling Sword!" His tone was extremely firm.
The Demon King had already said that this was not the Qingling Sword, but Gu Qingxi was not surprised.
But why is Wanling Ancestor so sure?
Gu Qingxi asked her question.
Ancestor Wanling said firmly: "I just know this is not the Qingling Sword." But for what reason, he couldn't tell.
Gu Qingxi looked at the sword sealed in the box and said, "So, this competition also has the purpose of finding a suitable owner for this sword?"
"Yes." The Demon King nodded, "I hope the winner can recognize this divine sword as its master and suppress its ferocity. The winner will get the divine weapon and become stronger, which will also enhance the strength of the demon clan."
Gu Qingxi understood that if he could really win the first place, his strength would indeed be extraordinary. It would indeed be possible for this artifact to be recognized as its owner.
"Is Leng Yanli here just for the artifact?" Gu Qingxi guessed.
"No one knows. But according to your inference, he does have a problem. I will let people check him carefully. If there is a problem, I will not let him continue to participate in the game, I will only let him be taken down.
"The demon king's eyes were a little cold.
When Gu Qingxi heard the Demon King's decision, she nodded secretly in her heart.
It would be too arrogant to let him participate in the competition and win despite knowing that the opponent has problems.
