It wouldn't be good to make things difficult for an old person, so Qi Yu sighed and returned to her spatial dimension.
Meteor had already woken up, but unlike Fengxiao, he couldn't threaten the spirit Xiaolv to let him out. Meteor didn't know how to get out, so he just sat in the room cultivating.
Upon seeing Qi Yu enter, Liu Xing quickly stood up and said somewhat awkwardly, "Good morning, Senior Sister."
Qi Yu nodded in agreement and then pulled him out of the space.
Upon emerging, Liuxing was startled to see Xu Canglang and Yun Gui's faces. He hesitated for a moment before bowing and greeting them.
Qi Yu yawned and said, "Master, can you tell me what's going on now?"
Yun Gui raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't you going to bring out that great beauty you've been hiding?"
Qi Yu: "?"
"The one with the white hair."
Qi Yu: "...That's called silver hair. Calling it white hair makes it sound like someone is very old."
Yun Gui immediately laughed and said, "Then your master still looks like a little kid, but isn't he already an old man?"
Qi Yu was speechless: "...He's still sleeping. Let's get down to business first."
Xu Canglang's rough face drooped as he asked, "Was there anything unusual here last night?"
Qi Yu's eyes flickered, but he said calmly, "Yes, there is. Someone in the sect offered a high price for your junior sister's projection recording, but I caught them red-handed, beat them up, and kicked them out."
Xu Canglang's face darkened further. "Besides him, are there any other unusual phenomena?"
"Senior brother, you are so heartless. Your junior sister was almost smeared, and you are not worried at all." Qi Yu pretended to cry twice, and then said, "What exactly happened? Senior brother, you might as well tell me directly."
Yun Gui waved his hand, pulled Xu Canglang aside, and said, "Someone almost sneaked into the sect's forbidden area. We traced the trail all the way to you, but then the trail went cold."
Xu Canglang crossed his arms, staring intently into Liuxing's eyes, and said, "Where's the pass I gave you?"
Meteor froze, unable to move, as Xu Canglang stared intently at her.
Qi Yu stood in front of him and said, "Why are you being so fierce, Senior Brother? The pass is with me."
Yun Gui knew about the incident where Liu Xing impersonated Meteor to go to the Sutra Pavilion, but Xu Canglang did not, which is probably why he was in such a hurry to find Liu Xing.
Xu Canglang narrowed his tiger-like eyes, his gaze toward Qi Yu growing increasingly hostile.
Under Xu Canglang's fierce gaze, Qi Yu took the pass from his storage ring and handed it to Xu Canglang.
Xu Canglang gripped the pass, his brows furrowing even more deeply.
“You can’t enter the sect’s forbidden area without a pass, but that person had no trouble getting in last night.” Yun Gui sighed softly. “Then he must be a demon cultivator.”
Qi Yu lifted her eyelids and glanced at Yun Gui and Xu Canglang.
They came to her door early this morning, apparently because they suspected her of trespassing into the sect's forbidden area.
“Last night, a demon cultivator did try to lure me to a certain place, but I did not go. As for Feng Xiao who followed me, Master and Senior Brother can rest assured that he is just a fool who has strength but knows nothing.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a tall figure suddenly appeared behind Qi Yu.
Feng Xiao's handsome, almost demonic face remained calm, his crimson eyes staring at the two without any warmth. He made no move, yet his entire body exuded a terrifying aura.
Xu Canglang's aura changed, and his knees were slightly bent due to Feng Xiao's pressure. He forced his knees straight, and his muscles bulged out.
Yun Gui's face also turned pale instantly, and her small face looked so weak that she seemed about to collapse.
Qi Yu turned around, gently raised her hand to stroke a strand of the man's hair that was hanging down, and whispered, "That's enough."
Feng Xiao's downturned lips curled up slightly, his aura subsided, and he focused intently on Qi Yu's slender, jade-like fingers, leaning down slightly to make it easier for Qi Yu to touch his head.
Qi Yu: "..." It's like petting a dog.
Yun Gui coughed twice to draw their attention. He reached out and stopped Xu Canglang, who was about to attack, and said, "Master is not doubting you. He just wants to ask if you noticed anything unusual last night."
Qi Yu withdrew her hand and looked at them with a leisurely air.
Even if they had no suspicions, they came here to test her.
After all, with a powerful and unfathomable demon by their side, they couldn't be so carefree as to ignore everything.
Today's events have put all the blame on her, so it would be a good opportunity to question her.
Qi Yu shrugged helplessly and told Yun Gui and Xu Canglang everything that had happened last night, only keeping the fact that she had taught Liu Xing to activate his spiritual root a secret.
"To clear my name, I'll make this clear first: I've hardly ever offended anyone here, let alone any demon cultivators. I don't know why anyone would want to harm me."
Xu Canglang gave a low hum, no longer doubting Qi Yu.
It wasn't that Qi Yu's words were particularly credible, but rather that after witnessing the silver-haired man's strength, her doubts were dispelled.
With that kind of strength, the restrictions of the sect's forbidden area probably won't be able to stop him.
There's absolutely no need to go to great lengths to trick him into giving you the pass.
Yun Gui pondered for a moment, then said, "I understand."
He smiled. "It's probably just a coincidence. At least nothing bad happened. I'll send someone to tighten the restrictions later. It's getting late, you should all continue your cultivation, right?"
Qi Yu slumped his shoulders and sighed, "I barely slept a few hours last night, and then I was dragged out of bed early this morning and interrogated like a criminal..."
Xu Canglang was impartial and unyielding. "Those who cultivate immortality can abandon sleep long ago. How can you be so greedy for sleep?"
Qi Yu gave him a resentful look.
Yun Gui suddenly stood up, curiously grabbing the silent Liu Xing who had been like a background figure and looking at him. "You also have a Chaos Spiritual Root?"
He turned to Qi Yu and asked, "Were you helping him activate his spiritual root last night?"
Meteor pursed her lips and looked at Qi Yu.
Qi Yu: "...Yes, I have a discerning eye and I saw that he was extraordinary."
"Oh, I see." Yun Gui said with a smile, "Your name is Meteor, right? Then you can cultivate with Yu'er. Such a good seedling shouldn't be wasted."
Qi Yu: "..."
meteor:"……"
Qi Yu looked at Liu Xing and saw the same fear in his eyes as she had felt when she learned about the grueling training a while ago.
She coughed lightly and said, "Well, it's not impossible. Meteor, don't you want to cultivate quickly? Then come with me."
Meteor's lips trembled slightly, but she still said, "Meteor understands."
Yun Gui looked at Liu Xing's obedient and dependent manner towards Qi Yu with a half-smile and teased, "Yu'er, why are you acting like you've taken on a disciple? Anyway, you both have the same Chaos Spiritual Root, and you know quite a lot. You even guided him into the field, so why not just take him as your disciple?"
Qi Yu waved his hand, about to say that he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and didn't know what kind of disciple he was taking on, when he heard a "snap" sound in his ear.
Meteor knelt down directly in front of Qi Yu, prostrating himself and whispering, "Master."
Qi Yu: "..."
No, bro, are you serious?
