Chapter 81

Lieying from the Tiange Sect came in a hurry to ask for an answer, and he obviously had no intention of lingering. He came and left quickly, but the man in front of him did not move in a hurry. He smiled and said, "Looking closely, I thought you two were blood relatives, but I didn't expect you were actually a Taoist couple."

At this point, he bowed and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. I am from Lingxiao Sect, asking about Qingshui."

Lingxiao Sect, the two people who came to the sect in succession were all talented people from the sects in charge of the Immortal Alliance. As Chu Jinglan entered the Yingyue Sect, it seems that the Immortal Alliance is not anxious. Since they couldn't snatch the person away, they came up with the idea of ​​marriage.

Jun Bushu is also a member of the Lingxiao Sect. If he also wants to enter the Nine Secret Pagoda, then if they start from Caidie Town, he should have arrived by now.

The people from the Wang family who came in the past two days are still scattered for the time being. Some disciples of the aristocratic families are traveling outside, and those who are nearby came directly after receiving the news. It should be the same for Wen Qingshui.

He looked elegant, and spoke and acted neither fast nor slow, but he was different from Jun Bushu who was slow with his hands tucked into his sleeves. Jun Bushu had a sickly look on his face, and it was obvious that he was sick and listless, but his eyes were sharp; while Wen Qingshui's eyes showed that he was at ease, and he looked leisurely because he was confident.

Yue Ming crossed her arms and glared at him: "I've already asked, why don't you leave? Do you still want to have a cup of tea with me?"

"I just beat you once last time, you don't have to be so angry when you see me," Wen Qingshui shook his head and sighed, "It's not like you haven't beaten me before."

Yue Ming bared his teeth, turned his head and said to Chu Jinglan and Xiao Mo, "Don't be fooled by his solemn appearance. He is not a true gentleman and has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He could have asked Jun Bushu whether you two are a true couple, but he had to come to your house."

"Walk upright and sit upright, how can you not be called a gentleman?" Wen Qingshui was not angry at all, and he looked very good-tempered. He said to Chu Jinglan, "Bu Shu sent me a message saying that the two of you can break his calamity. As his senior brother, I naturally have to come to visit you two. Thank you in advance."

Wen Qingshui and Jun Bushu are brothers brought up by the same master, although their paths of cultivation are completely different. After all, Jun Bushu's talent in calculating vegetables is not something that everyone can possess.

He smiled and said, "Besides, I'll say a few more words so that I can explain it when I go back." Wen Qingshui reminded him out of kindness, "After you joined Yingyue Sect, there were more than two or three families who wanted to form an alliance with you. But after this trip with Tiange Sect, the rest of them probably won't bother you anymore."

After asking Qingshui, he bowed politely and then walked away slowly. Yueming grinned. He thought for a moment and said to Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan, "There are some things that will definitely be told when the leader of the sect arrives, but since someone from another sect is here so soon, I'll tell you in advance."

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Once the talents of each family enter the secret realm and are left alone, the risks will increase exponentially. Sometimes, even before entering the secret realm, some forces will specially form a team, either to seize treasures, but to kill the talents of another family."

If possible, of course, each family would like to tie their own geniuses to their belts every day and not let them touch any danger. However, there is no cultivator without experience. Their character and fighting skills must be honed outside. No matter how arrogant and protected they are, it is impossible to raise them like canaries.

"The Immortal Alliance has done this to the Yunduan Six Sects, and the Yunduan Six Sects have also done this to the Immortal Alliance. The rest of the forces are the same." Yue Ming's face darkened. These are all messed up things. "Of course, the sects of the Immortal Alliance want to compete for the top spot. All six sects want to be the number one sect, so their own people have done this before. The law of the jungle is full of dangers. This is the world of cultivation."

Xiao Mo looked at Yue Ming in surprise. Yue Ming crossed her arms and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I am belligerent, but I am not stupid."

"I don't think so," Xiao Mo said, "but judging from your expression, you are also deeply affected by it?"

Yue Ming stroked the hilt of the sword and said, "When I was in the Jindan stage, I encountered a big ambush in the secret realm. In short, after entering the Nine Secret Pagoda, we must reunite with the leader as soon as possible. We must not trust anyone who suddenly appears in front of us. Chu Jinglan must be the most eye-catching among the unripe geniuses in the entire cultivation world."

Yue Ming stopped talking and went back to his residence with his sword. Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan returned to the house. They knew that one must be careful when going to the secret realm. Having come all the way from the lower realm, they understood this better than anyone else.

Xiao Mo thought for a while and realized that it would be some time before the Nine Secrets Pagoda was opened. He simply upgraded his external aura to a golden elixir. In this way, he could be somewhat presentable and not be so weak that he was particularly conspicuous.

Chu Jinglan nodded.

"As for the Dao Couple Seal, since it can save you from trouble, keep it for now." Xiao Mo said, "If you really have a lover in the future, you can say that I am a shield. When things have passed for a while, it will be easier to talk about it."

Chu Jinglan didn't say anything, Xiao Mo took it as his tacit agreement, but he didn't know what Chu Jinglan was thinking at the moment:

——The one you love is right in front of you.

Xiao Mo had something else to say, which was that his identity would have to be changed sooner or later, and he would not always be a demon in his heart.

Originally, Xiao Mo wanted to leave some messages for Chu Jinglan before leaving, and come back to see him later, but as his memory was unlocked, he became uncertain.

First, he seemed to have implicated Chu Jinglan, and second, what he had done in the past was really dangerous.

Under the new circumstances, some of the original plans will no longer work, but there is one thing that can be done regardless of whether the memory is fully restored.

That means it's time to find an opportunity to test Chu Jinglan's attitude towards overcoming the inner demon tribulation.

If Xiao Mo could commit suicide, it would be the easiest thing. However, only the original body can survive the tribulation. What if I can't come back to see him again and just tell Chu Jinglan that you can kill me without any worries, will Chu Jinglan believe it?

It is better to do it today than to choose a day. Xiao Mo continued with what he had just said, observing Chu Jinglan's shocked expression as he spoke: "Wait until you reach the level of Spiritual Division, Mahayana, or even Guixu. When you tell others about this little thing, they will definitely believe it."

Chu Jinglan's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

Without overcoming the inner demon tribulation, it is impossible to ascend to Mahayana.

Xiao Mo has been staring at Chu Jinglan, taking in every change in his expression. It would be a lie to say he wasn't moved. Chu Jinglan's behavior proved that their current friendship was not just Xiao Mo's one-sided enthusiasm, and Chu Jinglan really regarded him as a good friend.

Xiao Mo lowered his voice in the midst of Chu Jinglan's sudden change of mood: "Chu Jinglan, you've actually noticed that I'm indeed very special, right?"

Chu Jinglan clenched his hands into fists. He didn't know why Xiao Mo suddenly talked about future cultivation, nor did he understand if Xiao Mo hid something behind this sentence. His whole body tensed up at that moment, like a wild beast that was alert to being offended, and a low growl of resistance came from his bones.

Xiao Mo looked at his nose and heart, and understood his uneasiness. He tried to speak in a gentle and careful voice: "I have a feeling that if you have overcome your inner demon tribulation, I will be fine too. Maybe I will... exist in a different form."

Chu Jinglan's expression and tone were already chilling: "No evidence, but based on feeling?"

Xiao Mo's eyes flickered: "Some special beings have a premonition when they are born. I——"

"You can't gamble your life on a vague hunch."

Chu Jinglan almost pinched his palms to interrupt him: "I don't want to talk about this."

"…But the inner demon tribulation must be overcome."

Chu Jinglan looked at him in shock, pausing for each word: "What if I don't want to cross?"

Xiao Mo opened his mouth and was silent for a moment. The first attempt was very successful. He completely understood Chu Jinglan's attitude. For Xiao Mo's life, Chu Jinglan was willing to give up the tribulation.

[Ding, mental attack successful, points +1000! ]

This time, Xiao Mo was no longer confused: Oh, no, he looks very angry.

He was very pleased and moved, but also very melancholy, with mixed feelings. Looking at Chu Jinglan's astonished eyes, Xiao Mo was speechless for a moment.

With such resistance, I will never believe the reasons given by ordinary editors. What should I do?

*

The next day, it snowed lightly on the Wang family's land. The snow that accumulated last night piled up on Xiaosong Mountain, making it look like silver and icy white, which was very beautiful. After the snow stopped, Xiao Mo sat at the stone table in the yard and cleared the snow off the table and chairs, feeling very melancholy.

The gate was not closed, Yue Ming rushed in: "I have an idea, Chu Jinglan, come with me - where is Chu Jinglan?"

Xiao Mo was the only one sitting at the table in the yard. It was strange that Chu Jinglan was not with him.

Xiao Mo sighed: "Inside the house."

"I didn't practice swordplay, nor did I accompany you. Was I meditating?"

Xiao Mo moved his eyes towards the house and said, "I don't know."

Yueming smelled something unusual: "Did something happen?"

"I made him angry." Xiao Mo said, "I thought about it all night, but I still can't figure out how to say it."

"Angry?" Yue Ming was surprised, "Then——"

Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of a door being pushed open. Chu Jinglan walked out of the room in a hurry and went straight to Xiao Mo. He opened his hands and shook them, and out came a snow-white, soft fur coat. It looked like the fur of some kind of monster, snow-white and fluffy, and looked soft and comfortable.

Chu Jinglan quickly put the cloak on Xiao Mo and tied the rope quickly but gently. Then, without saying a word, he turned around and walked back into the house and closed the door.

It wasn't a slamming of the door, it was just a slamming of the door, like a gust of wind. The door closed firmly but without making much noise, not even the snow on the roof moved.

Yueming: “…”

Xiao Mo was wrapped in a plush cloak, his cheeks sunken in the soft fur. He reached out and touched it, looking even more melancholy.

Monks are not afraid of ordinary cold or heat, unless it is extremely cold or hot to be extremely uncomfortable. How can they not bear the temperature of such a little snow? Yue Ming looked at Xiao Mo who was wrapped up, and then looked at the table next to him: there was a warm little hand warmer, spiritual tea warmed by spiritual power, and spiritual snacks and dried fruits.

At first glance, I thought it was a place to enjoy the snow, paired with some good tea.

Yue Ming's eyelids twitched, and she pointed at something on the table: "Did Chu Jinglan prepare this?"

Xiao Mo gently touched the cloak: "Hmm."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have thought he had made you angry, so he was trying to coax you with good food and drink." Yue Ming understood, "Okay, it's not a big deal. I've never seen anyone so angry. He's really a strange person."

Xiao Moyouyou: "You don't understand, this is a big problem."

Yue Ming tapped the table with her fingers: "Tell me?"

Xiao Mo: "It's really hard to tell this to outsiders."

How could he say that I wanted him to kill me but he refused? If he said that, it would make people suspect that he had a mental disorder.

Yue Ming picked up a piece of snack and put it in his mouth. It was soft, sweet, and full of spiritual power. He swallowed it and said, "The snack is good. There is no sand or anything. After tasting it, it is just a normal couple sulking. They quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. I won't butt in."

He shouted confidently into the house: "Chu Jinglan, come out and spar with me!"

There was no response from inside the house. After a while, the door slowly opened and Chu Jinglan walked out holding a sword.

His eyes fell on Xiao Mo first. He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but then pursed his lips. He looked away and said to Yue Ming, "Come."

The two men walked to the center of the yard. Xiao Mo didn't feel cold, but after thinking for a moment, he took the hand warmer in his hand and watched the two men fighting quietly.

Yue Ming originally thought that the quarrel between the young couple would not affect the sparring, but he soon found out that he was wrong. Today Chu Jinglan's moves were particularly fierce and he fought more fiercely than usual.

Yue Ming didn't adapt at first, but his eyes soon lit up. For him, who became braver with each battle, this was just what he wanted!

Moreover, Chu Jinglan's attack was only more fierce, but he did not fight randomly, and each of his moves was still exquisite.

The snow in the sky had stopped a long time ago, but the sword energy of the two men raised the white snow, making it flutter. Chu Jinglan's posture was strong and vigorous, and it must be Feihong stepping on the snow mud.

Last night, Xiao Mo thought for a long time and didn't know what to say, so he unlocked the chain and opened his memory.

That memory is not important to the overall situation. It is about the time in his previous life when he sparred with Chu Jinglan with a sword. His swordsmanship is different from Chu Jinglan's, but it is not bad.

Xiao Mo couldn't help but think of the time when Chu Jinglan had just recovered from his infancy and had a battle with his inner demon self. No matter whether it was the sword from his previous life or the flute from this life, fighting with Chu Jinglan was always exhilarating.

Xiao Mo held the hand warmer, and his cold fingertips were stained with warmth. He asked the system: "You said I shouldn't be a demon, then what could it be?"

"Before you lost your memory, you told me that you didn't want Chu Jinglan to join the mission this time and that you wanted to solve the problem yourself, so the several identities I prepared have nothing to do with Chu Jinglan."

Xiao Mo watched Chu Jinglan's sword collide with Yue Ming: "But I became a demon in my heart."

"Because the old Heavenly Dao that had collapsed interfered when it noticed you were traveling through time. It didn't want you to succeed in traveling through time, but when it realized it couldn't stop you, it tampered with your identity." The system's tone was slightly annoyed, "I failed to stop it this time."

"I had no choice but to immediately apply for a side quest for your inner demon identity, so that you would not actually die, but instead be rewarded with a new identity after completing the side quest."

It can be heard that the system has tried very hard in this game.

"It turned into a demon in his heart, making Chu Jinglan hate me and kill me with his own hands. It killed people and destroyed their hearts," Xiao Mo looked at Chu Jinglan's figure in the snow and whispered softly, "It seems that it hates us very much."

In the snow, Chu Jinglan's sword pierced Yue Ming's neck, and the winner was decided.

After today's fight, Yue Ming simply didn't dare to say anything. When he stopped fighting, he slowly exhaled from his chest, pressed his chest, and stared at Chu Jinglan, hissing, "Okay, I believe you are angry. The pressure is really scary."

He always felt that this person seemed to be about to break through to the middle stage of Yuanying. No way, no way, was it really that outrageous?

Yue Ming swung his arms: "Ha, but it was really fun to fight."

He walked straight to the stone table to ask for a cup of spiritual tea, but Chu Jinglan stood there without moving: it was not right for him to go there, and it was not right for him not to go there.

Until Xiao Mo smiled at him and nodded at him subtly with those moonlight-filled eyes.

Chu Jinglan pressed his finger bones, and finally raised his feet and walked over slowly.

Xiao Mo poured a cup of spiritual tea and handed it to Chu Jinglan. Chu Jinglan didn't rush to take it, but just lowered his eyes to look at him.

Xiao Mo: "I won't mention what happened yesterday."

Chu Jinglan's eyes changed in shock, and he finally spoke: "Really?"

Xiao Mo held the tea in his hand and said, "Well, drink it slowly and don't be angry."

Chu Jinglan looked at Xiao Mo's smiling eyes, and his shoulders, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed. He raised his hand and took the tea from Xiao Mo's hand. On a snowy day, a sip of hot tea can warm you to the core.

[Ding, mental attack successful, points +1000! ]

This time I feel relieved and relaxed.

Yue Ming was standing by but smiled without saying anything: He said there was nothing wrong with these two people. In his entire life, he had never seen anyone so sticky when angry. Ugh.

What Xiao Mo was thinking was that if he really couldn't accompany Chu Jinglan for a long time, then during the remaining time, there was no need for him to make Chu Jinglan unhappy and depressed.

But the inner tribulation must be overcome.

Let him think of a way to minimize the impact on Chu Jinglan. After all, they are friends, and he will of course take Chu Jinglan's feelings into consideration.
