Xue Qingyi subconsciously raised her hand to grab the pill back.

However, when he saw who was coming, his fingertips felt as if they were burned and he quickly retracted them.

"You are... the fifth elder of Liuyun Taoist Sect!" The female alchemy practitioner recognized the man at a glance and shouted excitedly.

Most of the outstanding alchemists in the world of cultivation are gathered in Baicao Valley.

But the most outstanding one happens to be in Liuyun Taoist Sect!

Shangluo!

Eighth-level alchemist!

This person is no less powerful than their leader!

The female alchemist looked at Shangluo with eyes full of admiration.

“Sorry, I’m not buying it.”

Xue Qingyi caught a glimpse of her eyes and immediately asked for back the spirit stones he had just given her, then turned around and walked away without saying a word.

"Qingyi."

Behind me, that familiar voice came up.

Xue Qingyi, however, felt as if an evil spirit was taking her life, and regardless of her internal injuries, she simply raised her hand and mobilized her spiritual power, and flew away on her sword as if to escape.

Return to the cave to live in seclusion.

As soon as she landed, she raised her hand to hold the gate and gasped violently.

Using too much spiritual power suddenly caused her spiritual energy to become disordered and her blood and qi surged.

She tried to suppress it.

After a while, he realized that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat. He was so panic-stricken that he seemed to have lost his soul. He didn't even notice the person waiting at the door of his cave and was about to push the door open.

"Xue Qingyi! Are you blind or are you deliberately ignoring my existence?"

When Ji Jian saw that she didn't even look at him after she came back, he got angry and asked loudly.

Xue Qingyi's scattered eyes finally focused. When she saw clearly who was in front of her, she frowned and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

He pushed Ji Jian away and stood firm.

The rare good mood I had today was ruined by the person I met at the market.

She really didn't want to pay attention to Ji Jian at this moment, so she pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She pushed open the gate and was about to lock Ji Jian out, but he quickly dodged and squeezed in.

Seeing his somewhat smug look, Xue Qingyi frowned.

"Something wrong?" she asked indifferently.

"What's your attitude? Let me ask you, I changed the name, why did you change it? Didn't I tell you to stay calm and reflect on your mistakes?" Ji Jian noticed that the name of the cave had been changed, and the first thing he did was to question.

"What's it to you?"

Xue Qingyi said these four words coldly, turned around and walked into the cave.

Ji Jian followed closely behind.

If he had heard her talking to him like this under normal circumstances, he would have probably exploded.

However, thinking that I had other purposes today, I didn't bother with her.

Xue Qingyi poured herself a cup of cold tea and drank it. Then he raised his chin with a proud look on his face, looked at her condescendingly and asked, "I say, when did you start?"

Xue Qingyi hadn't put down the teacup in her hand yet. After hearing his nonsense words, she paused and glanced at him suspiciously: "What?"

"Don't act stupid."

Ji Jian sneered and sat down in front of her very comfortably. "Junior sister has already told me about the Heart Demon Trial. You actually want to hide it from me?"

Xue Qingyi was not surprised that Su Youyao would tell him about the trial of her inner demon.

I just don't know what inexplicable words this junior sister, who is always trying to sow discord, said in front of Ji Mian that caused him to come here and act crazy.

Xue Qingyi didn't want to say more to him, so she put the cup in her hand steadily on the table and said in a light tone: "This is my business, no matter what, it has nothing to do with you."

"You have developed a demon in your heart because of me, and yet you still say it has nothing to do with me!"

Seeing her attitude, Ji Jian immediately became angry again, "I said you were a good person, and you weren't that vicious before, but how come you became a different person after Junior Sister came here, and you even colluded with the evil cultivators to harm her! It turns out it was all because of me! I was too close to Junior Sister and ignored you, so you got demonic and had evil thoughts to harm Junior Sister!

"Xue Qingyi, although all of this is caused by me, I must tell you that you and I both follow our master to practice the ruthless way, and the most taboo thing in the ruthless way is love between men and women!

"I don't care when your feelings for me started or how much you like me, you must control your heart and don't overstep the line!

"Besides, Junior Sister is weak and pitiful, and she is the reincarnation of Senior Sister. Senior Sister once died in battle to protect the cultivation world. Now she has become Junior Sister, and I must protect her no matter what! If you harm Junior Sister again because of this, next time, I will not be merciful anymore!"

He finished his conversation in a burst of rapidity, with a hint of pride in his eyes, and just looked at Xue Qingyi like that.

Xue Qingyi, however, felt as if a basin of dog blood was poured over her head, making her completely confused.

It took her a long while to finally come back to her senses.

"My... inner demons are caused by you? Did Su Youyao tell you this?"

She frowned and asked with a strange expression.

"Isn't it? You told Master yourself that you were jealous because someone was close to Junior Sister...wasn't that person I was talking about?"

Ji Jian still looked arrogant and spoke with great confidence.

Now, Xue Qingyi finally understood everything.

Su Youyao didn't spread any nonsense this time, but Ji Jian thought too highly of himself and actually thought that the person she told her master that she loved last time was him!

How ridiculous!

Xue Qingyi looked at Ji Jian and subconsciously wanted to clarify.

But when she saw him looking at her with a look of contempt, evil thoughts suddenly arose in her heart again.

In her previous life, she naturally had someone she truly loved.

But that person will never be Ji Jian!

She and Ji Jian grew up together. She has always regarded him as her younger brother and best friend and has never developed any romantic feelings for him.

But that doesn't stop her from teasing him!

"What if I can't control my heart?" Xue Qingyi suddenly said.

"What?" Ji Jian didn't understand what she meant for a moment.

The next moment, he saw her suddenly approaching him step by step, her dark eyes staring straight at him, like an evil spirit in the deep sea that knew how to capture souls.

He was stunned.

Then he subconsciously stepped back step by step until his back hit the table and he could no longer retreat. In front of him, the delicate body with a faint fragrance was pressed against him with restraint.

The woman's slender, soft, cold fingers touched his cheek, and her graceful fingertips gently teased along the lines of his face, causing waves of subtle itch.

Ji Jian's Adam's apple rolled.

A strange feeling that he had never experienced before suddenly came over him, making his body tense and at a loss. He even forgot that he should push the woman away.

"Sixth Junior Brother, have you ever liked someone?"

Xue Qingyi's voice at this moment was also gentler than ever before towards him.

I only heard her whispering word by word as if bewitchingly, "Do you know that once a person's heart falls in love with someone, it is impossible to control it? You asked me to control it, then can you teach me how to control it?"

As she spoke, her fatal finger had already landed on his Adam's apple.

Ji Jian suddenly felt numb all over, as if he was electrocuted.

He looked at the woman in front of him...

The second senior sister, who seemed familiar to him yet strange, suddenly came to her senses and her pretty face turned red!

"You! You have no sense of propriety!"

He stammered and said something nonsense, he didn't even know what it meant, then he pushed Xue Qingyi away with force, and ran out of the cave with a red face as if he was running for his life.

Behind him, Xue Qingyi stood there with a cold expression, wiping her fingers with a handkerchief, and then throwing it away in disgust.
