Xuan Ye shook his head, "Now that Zikui has shown his fangs, we must think of a countermeasure. At least Ye Xiao will not be able to fight, and there will be a chance to escape. Of course, I am not someone who will be ravaged."
Nan Guanghong looked at Xuan Ye. Although everyone was in the middle stage of Hun Ling, he did not doubt what the young man said. It was precisely for this reason that the leader of the sect was willing to come to Ye Xiao as the third in command.
He took a sip of wine, the spicy taste entered his throat, and sighed, "Brother Xuan Ye, are you the one who did what happened to the Tianlan Sect?"
Xuan Ye didn't answer. He touched the wine jar and took a few swigs. He had never felt so happy as he did today since he was a child.
"If I had your courage, I wouldn't be able to guard the mountain gate." Nan Guanghong sighed softly, looked far away, looked at the first ray of sunlight, and said with a smile: "But it's okay,
I've been staying at Qingyi Gate all this time, and I definitely haven't had any future with you."
Xuan Ye listened to these tipsy words.
He has always been alone and went to Xuantian Temple just to make himself stronger.
It was only today that I realized that a group of people had actually gathered around me. Counting Liu Yishan, who would arrive soon, Ye Xiao could be considered a big organization nearby.
By then, even if those forces don't investigate, they will surface.
Excessive force will inevitably lead to disaster. We must find a way to make Nan Guanghong, Hanqiu and others stronger.
Xuan Ye couldn't think of a solution for a moment, so he stood up unsteadily with the wine jar in hand, opened his hands, and welcomed the sunshine.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Xuan Ye suddenly came back to his senses, only to see Han Qiu looking at him quietly on the platform below, as if he had been there from the beginning.
Hanqiu smiled softly, "Don't worry, Ye Xiao will never hold you back. Don't underestimate us."
It seems that his guess was correct, this girl has always been there. Xuan Ye nodded with a smile, then drank too much, closed his eyes, and fell down from the eaves.
With a "bang", a figure fell to the ground, frightening the people in the room to run out one after another, most of them sober from the wine.
Everyone looked at Xuan Ye who fell on the ground, and then looked at Hanqiu who had a calm face.
She smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. The master drank too much and jumped off the building. Let's help him to the room to rest."
Everyone looked at each other, but still followed the instructions.
When Xuan Ye woke up, it was almost dusk. He patted his swollen head and used his spiritual power to force the smell of alcohol out. After looking at the sky, he immediately rushed out of the room and flew up.
"Master, where are you going?"
"Where is Hanqiu?" Xuan Ye asked the attendant who was cleaning.
"The steward should be in the lobby now."
Xuan Ye looked anxious, but had to turn back and fly towards the lobby.
Hanqiu, who was discussing, saw a figure breaking into the door. He saw clearly that it was Queen Xuan Ye, and his face lit up with joy, "Master, are you here? Just in time, let me introduce to you the core personnel of Ye Xiao."
Xuan Ye glanced at everyone and nodded, but the anxious expression on his brows betrayed him.
"Is it possible...that you are leaving?" Hanqiu lowered his eyes, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
Xuan Ye explained that he had just returned to Xuantian Temple the day before yesterday and had already made his teacher unhappy. This time he went down the mountain privately and could not stay long.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the lobby had become much duller, he could only scratch his head apologetically: "I promise, I will stay longer next time."
Hanqiu sighed. He wanted to report the results of the Medicine Pavilion to Xuan Ye, but now he had no choice but to forget it. "Then you go back first to avoid being punished. Next time, you must stay a little longer, otherwise others will think that we are Night Owls."
When the head of the family is not around, he seems to be bullying me."
Xuan Ye responded, waved to Nan Guanghong, then turned around and walked out of the lobby, flew away, and finally set foot on the ground of the Great Blue Dome again late at night.
When he returned to his residence, he actually had some insomnia. After tossing and turning, he stood up and flew to Yunjing with two buckets.
When the sun rises, he collects two buckets of cloud dew and immediately adjusts his breath and meditates.
These days, even when Yuan Wen was captured as a servant, he never forgot to absorb the purple energy. As time accumulated, the impetuous spiritual power in his body was finally suppressed.
"I believe it won't take long before we can hit the late Hunling stage."
Xuan Ye thought to himself, opened his eyes, and saw the enthusiastic and lively girl in front of him again. He couldn't help but smile, "Senior sister, is the poison on your body?"
"Thanks to junior brother, it has been solved." Jiang Ningyue smiled slightly as a greeting, and then walked down the mountain with the bucket.
Just as Xuan Ye was about to get up, he heard people nearby whispering.
"You said she doesn't need Yunlu, but she always comes to Yunjing."
"Oh, you don't know. She brings it up every day just to share it with the elders and masters. Don't you think about which elder she follows. If she doesn't please the relationship, she will never be able to get the position of master in this life."
"Hmph, so what if I get on it? I just have better talent. Do you really think you can attack Yuan Mansion? This is a one-in-a-million chance!"
…
Xuan Ye shook his head, too lazy to listen more, but he was also curious in his heart, who is Jiang Ningyue's mentor? If he is an elder, why does everyone look down on him?
All the way back to my residence, I wiped and cleaned the Juelong Cauldron as usual. I waited until the time was almost up before setting off to the library.
Who would have thought that as soon as he opened the door, he would see Mr. Kui standing outside, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.
Xuan Ye quickly saluted, "Teacher, why are you here?"
"Of course I will take you to practice, but you can't do it blatantly in the library, right? Just let me go."
Xuan Ye followed closely behind, leaving the Big Blue Dome and flying down the mountain. Until he passed through the clouds and mist, a golden sea of bamboo appeared in front of him.
"Xiaozhu Peak is relatively secluded, and it is a place where I often come to practice." Mr. Kui looked at the sea of bamboos. It seemed that there was no difference from a hundred years ago, but the people who came here had changed from high-spirited to blue-faced and crane-haired.
The two of them passed through the bamboo sea and came to a deeper place.
After identifying it, Mr. Kui pushed aside the golden bamboos that blocked it, and finally found the hut where he practiced. But he did not walk over, but frowned and looked around.
Xuan Ye raised his eyes and knew the reason immediately.
After hundreds of years, the cabin is not only not decayed, but also very clean. It looks like someone has cleaned it.
"Did someone come here?" Xuan Ye asked.
"Impossible, this place is hidden, how could it be such a coincidence." Mr. Kui was a little excited, with a hint of anger mixed in his words.
The door of the cabin suddenly opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of the two of them.
Jiang Ningyue was frightened by the two of them. She covered her mouth and screamed, "You... Xuan Ye, Mr. Kui, why are you here?"
Xuan Ye was stunned. He didn't expect to run into Jiang Ningyue. Is this too much of a coincidence?
Mr. Kui frowned slightly, "Do you know each other?"
Xuan Ye nodded, "Senior sister helped me a lot after entering the mountain."
When Mr. Kui heard this, his brows softened a little, but his voice was still stern. "How did you find this place?"
Jiang Ningyue looked embarrassed, and after receiving a cold glare from Mr. Kui, she told the truth. "I was ostracized after I entered the mountain. An elder saw me pitifully, so he directed me to come here to practice cultivation."
"Who is that person?" Mr. Kui asked sharply.
Such an excited look caught Xuan Ye off guard. Although Mr. Kui usually seemed stern, he was still quite gentle when talking, but now he was furious at Jiang Ningyue, which was indeed a bit abnormal.
Seeing that Jiang Ningyue was silent, Mr. Kui stomped on the ground with his walking stick, "That's all if you don't want to say it, but now, please leave here!"
Xuan Ye was stunned, "Teacher, isn't this bad?"
After saying that, he realized something was wrong. Is Mr. Kui so arrogant really just because Jiang Ningyue occupied this house? The elder who reminded Jiang Ningyue to come here also made him a little concerned.
Lightning flashed in his mind, and Xuan Ye suddenly realized, was that elder Jiang Ningyue's teacher?
If so, Mr. Kui must have interacted with that person, or even been extremely close, so he knew this.
He actually had some guesses as to whether someone had secretly tampered with Kui Lao's failure at the Genting Gala.
If all of these are connected in series, in Kuai Lao's opinion, that person is the one who did it. After all, the closer the person is to this kind of thing, the more opportunities there are to do it.
If the guess is correct, it would be reasonable for Mr. Kui to have such a reaction.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Leave!" Mr. Kui shouted again.
Although Jiang Ningyue was scared, she quickly calmed down and bowed to salute, neither humble nor overbearing, "Please forgive me for being rude, why are you driving me away?"
Mr. Kui was so angry that he suddenly burst into laughter, "This is my place of cultivation a hundred years ago. You occupy my house and you ask me why I drove you away?"
"I'm afraid the elder may have misunderstood. When the disciple first came here, there was indeed a dilapidated house here. It fell down when the wind blew or when it was rained. This was rebuilt by the disciple after clearing away the old things."
After listening to Jiang Ningyue's words, Mr. Kui suddenly seemed to have lost his confidence, and his body shrank.
Indeed, it has been a hundred years since he used this place. How could an unoccupied house last for so long?
"Teacher, are you okay?"
Mr. Kui shook his head, and when he looked at Jiang Ningyue, his eyes had softened, "I'm sorry for being abrupt. Disciple, let's find another place."
"Wait a minute," Jiang Ningyue called to the two of them and pointed to the back of the house, "Mr. Kui, Junior Brother Xuan Ye and I are also friends. If you want to practice, there is a hut further from this valley where you can stay.
use."
When she felt the gaze coming from Mr. Kui, she hurriedly shook her head, "Don't worry, I usually only stay here for half a day, and I will never disturb you."
After a moment of silence, Mr. Kui decided to stay, "Little girl, I can't interfere in your private affairs, but if you still have contact with the elder who asked you to come here, I advise you to stay away from us to avoid causing more trouble."
After saying this, he took the lead and headed towards the valley.
Xuan Ye and Jiang Ningyue looked at each other and saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes. They already had a guess in their minds. After nodding, they quickly followed Mr. Kui.
These are private matters between Mr. Kui and that person. Although Jiang Ningyue has intervened in them, it does not mean that he will get into them.
After all, it is an old matter, who is right and who is wrong, how can we tell clearly? Even if it is a misunderstanding, Mr. Kui has to solve it himself. Without knowing the whole picture, acting rashly is the wrong choice.
Going along the path in the valley, there is indeed a hut next to the clear pool.
This place is surrounded by green bamboos, has a quiet environment, and has streams, waterfalls and small pools. It is undoubtedly a good place for meditation.
Mr. Kui was also very satisfied, "Disciple, take off your clothes, let's get started."
