Qi Yu glared at Feng Xiao speechlessly for a moment, then returned to her room and was so startled by the bird and dog sprawled on the bed that she almost jumped up.
She poked the black and green dogs, who looked like dead dogs and birds, and found that their body temperature was still normal, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Little Black shakily raised its little head and sobbed, "Waaaah, Master, he... he's not human! He's been grabbing me and asking me all sorts of questions. I've already told him everything in detail, but he still wants me to repeat it all. My throat is about to burst with anger, waaaah!"
Little Green made a few unpleasant, hoarse sounds, fitting the occasion.
Qi Yu: "..."
No wonder Feng Xiao was acting so strangely. Could it be that Xiao Hei's recollection of their past interactions triggered Feng Xiao, causing him to recall all those memories?
But when I asked him just now, he still said he didn't remember...
Qi Yu pondered for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.
Feng Xiao's actions just now could be understood as possessiveness towards her, but this possessiveness was very inexplicable, just like the kiss when they first met, which left her feeling confused.
Although Feng Xiao was very handsome and fit her aesthetic, she found it hard to take this seriously because it was so vague.
I've only ever heard of hatred without reason, but never of love without reason.
Could it be that this symbiotic contract has some other effect? Like love at first sight or something?
That's ridiculous.
Qi Yu chuckled and shook her head, shooed Xiao Hei and Xiao Lü off the bed, used a cleaning spell to clean the bed, and then lay down.
However, as soon as she closed her eyes, her soul was drawn to the barrier outside the door.
Who would come over so late?
Qi Yu sighed, got up, left the space, and opened the door of the small thatched hut.
She paused, looking at the smiling boy outside the door.
"Master, why are you here so late?"
The visitor who came late at night was none other than Yun Gui, the sect leader of the Flying Star Sect.
Yun Gui was draped in a fox fur coat that almost buried him in, as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep, his little face still flushed.
He went straight into the house, looked around at the furnishings of the small thatched hut, and said meaningfully, "My good disciple has been living here for more than a month. Why don't you tidy up this shabby thatched hut?"
Because Qi Yu had been resting in her spatial dimension all this time, she only gave the small thatched hut a perfunctory and casual cleaning, so it looked almost the same as when she first arrived.
Qi Yu: "...Ahaha, this disciple is upholding Senior Brother Canglang's spirit of diligence, striving not to be corrupted by a life of luxury! This humble thatched hut cannot affect my sincere heart for cultivating immortality!"
"Oh? I see. But Canglang only stayed in this thatched hut for one night before moving to Star Peak."
Qi Yu: "..." Xu Canglang, I've been living in this dilapidated hut for over a month, and you didn't even tell me once!
Although she still sleeps in the Flower Moon Pavilion in the space, she still rests in this dilapidated thatched hut during the day when she has nothing to do.
Yun Gui glanced disdainfully at the wooden bed with a blanket casually laid out on it, and stopped beating around the bush with Qi Yu, getting straight to the point: "Po Yue just told me that the Flying Star Sect suddenly has an uninvited guest whose strength is comparable to that of a Mahayana cultivator?"
Qi Yu exclaimed in surprise, "So powerful? Oh, no, to be honest, I was just there too. That Mahayana stage expert said he couldn't stand Venerable Poyue's groping around me, so he stepped in to teach him a lesson."
Yun Gui looked at her with a half-smile for a long time, making Qi Yu feel uneasy, before finally saying, "My dear disciple, although I don't usually concern myself with the affairs of the Flying Star Sect, if there are any factors that threaten the sect, as the sect leader, I still have to take action. I just don't know what this uninvited guest is here for, or what their purpose is..."
"...Master, rest assured, I heard that the Mahayana cultivator seemed to have no other intentions and was probably just passing by."
"Then I can rest assured. My good disciple, you must be careful not to be fooled and end up paying for it. Someone like you is highly sought after by everyone." Yun Gui gave a strange smile.
Qi Yu said, "I am just an ordinary disciple with five spiritual roots. How can I be considered a hot commodity?"
Yun Gui raised an eyebrow and suddenly said, "You're not a true five-elemental-root person, are you?"
Qi Yuwei raised her eyes, remaining calm as she said, "Master, how could the results from the spirit stone be false? Although I have already established my foundation,..."
"Hahahaha..." Yun Gui's laughter interrupted Qi Yu's explanation. He laughed for a while, and tears were almost welling up in his eyes.
After a while, he wiped his eyes and looked at Qi Yu, saying, "Stop pretending. You might be able to fool others with the life's work of a Golden Core stage master, but you can't fool me."
A mysterious smile graced his rosy face. "A useless person with five spiritual roots doesn't have such a wide range of spiritual veins to store spiritual power."
Qi Yu remained silent.
Yun Gui said, "My good disciple, tell me, why should I accept you, a disciple with five spiritual roots, as my disciple?"
"Forehead……"
"This isn't some rags-to-riches story. Do you think my disciple is an ordinary person?" Yun Gui glanced at her and said, "The difference between five spiritual roots and chaotic spiritual roots is like heaven and earth."
Having been seen through, Qi Yu decided to stop pretending. "Master, I do indeed have a Chaos Spiritual Root. I only kept quiet about it before because I was worried about causing trouble."
"Now that I have accepted you as my disciple, I will naturally not be stingy with my gifts."
Yun Gui took a small booklet out of his sleeve and tossed it to Qi Yu.
Qi Yutong stared wide-eyed at the booklet, then looked at Yun Gui in shock.
The cover of this booklet has four large characters written neatly at the top: Chaotic Spirit Body.
Yun Gui noticed something was off about her expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qi Yu quickly replied, "It's nothing, nothing, Master. What kind of cultivation technique is this Chaotic Spirit Body?"
Yun Gui looked at her suspiciously for a moment and explained, "Strictly speaking, the Chaotic Spirit Body is a body cultivation technique. Its strength lies in the fact that it can convert the spiritual energy that others attack you into your own. The deeper you cultivate the Chaotic Spirit Body, the higher the efficiency of spiritual energy conversion."
"Hahaha, I see! There is such a miraculous technique. I wonder who created it!"
Yun Gui said, "The one who created the Chaotic Spiritual Body should be the first person to discover the mysteries of the Chaotic Spiritual Root. He was also an old friend of mine..."
Qi Yu: "..." Again, old friends. Hua Nongying and Venerable Poyue are old friends, and you and Zhu Xiuzi are old friends too. Why does the word "old friend" feel a little ominous...?
"Unfortunately, he went astray in his cultivation and did not hesitate to harm the innocent in order to cultivate. So I joined forces with several other elders to execute him."
Yun Gui's gaze was somewhat vacant. "Now, it has been three hundred years..."
Qi Yu was secretly shocked. The friend who betrayed him, as mentioned by Zhu Xiuzi, was actually Yun Gui, the current sect leader of the Flying Star Sect?!
