Hearing this, Yu Chenming, who was holding a glass of wine with his fingers, said nothing. He tilted his head back and took a gulp of the spicy wine. The sobering taste spread in his throat, but he looked a little tipsy.

Yu Chenming smiled, his eyes cold as he glanced at the moonlight obscured by clouds in the night.

The young man's clear voice was chilling. "Everyone has their own aspirations. Master's teaching method is ultimately not suitable for me. Besides, I only left Piaomiao Mountain, not Xianyun Sect. Zhao Wuji has extended an olive branch to me, offering me the position of the next Sect Master. Do you think I have any reason to refuse?"

Power never needs to be tempted, people will always pursue it.

"There's really no reason to refuse. That's the position of the leader of the largest sect in the world of immortal cultivation..."

Hua Lingjiu drank with his eyes slightly lowered. His fox eyes, which were as bright as stars, narrowed with confusion, and his voice became a little deeper.

"What if one day... Zhao Wuji asks you to take action against Master?"

“…”

Yu Chenming's eyes paused, and he remained silent for a long time. Having experienced many things, his bright eyes were no longer as high-spirited as they were five years ago. He finally sighed, blinked, and turned his head away.

"After dinner...just go. We are not the same kind of people." He avoided Hua Lingjiu's clear gaze.

"Oh."

Hearing this, Hua Lingjiu laughed to himself, with sarcasm and helplessness in his slightly misty eyes.

"You are really not our eldest brother anymore... Luo Qi is right, there is no such thing as unchanging people's hearts, it's just some people's extravagant hope." If it were in the past, he would not hesitate about this issue.

After saying that, she suddenly raised her head and took a sip of wine, then stood up, turned her back to Yu Chenming and was about to leave.

"etc!"

Suddenly, an urgent call came from behind.

Hua Lingjiu paused, but did not turn around. She waited silently for his words.

"Do you...do you like boys or girls?" A shy question came from behind him hesitantly.

"ha?"

Hua Lingjiu's slightly sad mood was suddenly replaced by a look of bewilderment.

She turned around stiffly, her features twisted together, her expression revealing something like, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Yu Chenming also knew that there was something wrong with what he said, but he still wanted to confirm it. He coughed lightly and his handsome face became solemn and calm.

"Do you like men or women? This is very important to me. Please answer it carefully."

Eight hundred thoughts flashed through Hua Lingjiu's mind in an instant.

[Oh shit, oh shit, system, is the male protagonist really interested in me and wants to confess his feelings to me?! No, he's going to introduce me to a girl! No, is he going to introduce me to some brothers?!]

[Host, that's not the case...] The system couldn't understand why the male protagonist could be attracted to the host at that moment, given her personality. Oh, except for that time at the Baby Girl Tower.

Although Hua Lingjiu didn't say anything, Yu Chenming immediately realized from her ever-changing eyes that she had misunderstood and her thoughts were seriously distorted.

"Hua Ling wine!"

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and spoke in a serious tone.

"Don't think too much, I just want to ask, because I have a friend and the girl he likes might like..." Yu Chenming's tone was slightly delayed, his face was difficult and difficult, and his eyes flashed slightly.

"Female."

Hua Lingjiu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and replied subconsciously. Fortunately, fortunately, she was so scared. She didn't want to get involved in any unreasonable love debt, this is a bad fate!

"?! You!" She's really gay! Then wouldn't she be the first to benefit from her master's proximity to her...

This time it was Yu Chenming's pupils that trembled. He looked at her with some surprise and a hint of fear.

Although he had previously suspected that Hua Lingjiu's mission towards Sheng Wu was to conquer her, and he had also seen that she was more gentle and well-behaved towards Sheng Wu than towards others, Hua Lingjiu and his master had been almost separated for the past five years. If she really wanted to conquer him, she would have done it long ago, so he wanted to seriously confirm whether he had a love rival.

But I didn't expect that she was really gay!

"Oh no, I spoke too quickly. Of course I like men."

Hua Lingjiu, whose mouth was faster than his brain and whose mind was a little unclear, suddenly changed his words, fearing that he would be misunderstood.

However, after listening to Yu Chenming's words, a wicked smile appeared on her pure and slightly charming face.

"No way, you just, oh, your friend just had a tragic first love affair."

She shook her head to comfort him, but the gloating in her eyes was almost overflowing.

"Think about it, even though she likes women, she doesn't like any man. It's fair to you."

"It's not me. I already told you it's my friend!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Chenming, who could see what she was imagining, twitched his lips and glared at her with gloomy eyes.

"Okay, go away. You don't need to worry about this anymore."

"Tsk, I won't stay here, auntie."

Hua Lingjiu rolled his eyes and waved his hand.

The next moment he flew away on his sword.

Not even a word of goodbye.

Yu Chenming didn't say a word. He understood that people in Piaomiao Mountain didn't like to say goodbye.

Seeing that the little girl from the past could now be so cool and powerful, Yu Chenming's stern face paused slightly, and his eyes softened a little, but not as tender as when he looked at Sheng Wu.

When the baby girl Tahua Lingjiu saved him, he was touched and had emotions, but at most it was just the love he had for his sister, and there was no romantic feeling between him and her.

He could still distinguish between throbbing and heartbeat.

In five years, everyone will be together again.

Yu Chenming looked at the night where Hua Lingjiu was no longer there, and sighed softly. The lonely moonlight on his body seemed to be covered with frost.

Finally, he slowly turned around, carrying a pot of wine, and went to the West Garden.

......

The next day.

"Bang!"

In a mountain stream, Huai Jin had just absorbed and digested the cultivation of others, and his cultivation level had broken through two levels, reaching the middle stage of fusion.

He's already in the middle stage of fusion! If Master knew, would he give him a second glance?!

The young man's handsome and elegant face rarely showed a trace of joy. It was dark and gloomy, and his bloodthirsty pupils, which were stained by killing, trembled with joy. However, Huai Jin suddenly noticed something.

He frowned, lowered his head, spread out his hands and clenched them tightly, only to find that there was a faint black air in his palms.

This is the phenomenon of an evil cultivator being possessed by a demon!

Huai Jin knew without thinking that it was because he was too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and it was caused by the side effects of constantly killing people to absorb their energy in the past year. If he could not eliminate these evil spirits and stabilize his mind.

Sooner or later he will become a demon who only knows how to kill people!

But Huaijin's eyelids drooped, his dark star-lit pupils shrank, his feathery eyelashes trembled, and he slowly clenched his hands, his ten fingers pale and his jaw tense.

A scene from his previous life suddenly emerged in his mind, where he was able to suppress the evil spirit.
