Chapter 27 Chapter 27 "If we really trace back to the source, you and I can...
Meng Chi and Shui Yun didn't understand what Mo Jue meant, but Bi Qing knew clearly.
Meng Chi asked hurriedly, "I see that you have all your limbs intact and your speech is clear, so how did you become a crippled person?"
Mo Jue bit his lower lip and did not answer.
Meng Chi had no choice but to ask Bi Qing, "You're usually with Xuan Yi, did you know about this?"
Bi Qing reacted quickly and shook her head, "I don't know. How could Xuan Yi mention such a private matter to an outsider like me?"
Mo Jue's pair of golden-blue mandarin duck eyes were soaked in tears, which infinitely magnified the apology and unwillingness in his eyes.
Xuan Yi met his brother's eyes, and his heart ached terribly.
The sad atmosphere made Biqing feel uncomfortable. Seeing the two brothers staring at each other in silence for a long time, she couldn't hold it in any longer. "Master Mo Jue! How can you say such depressing words! Xuan Yi didn't give up, so why are you giving up hope?"
Xuan Yi's pleading expression was still there. Bi Qing frowned slightly, and her tone unconsciously became heavier: "Have you ever thought about how sad Xuan Yi is when you do this?!"
"Fairy Biqing."
Mo Jue spoke respectfully, but his voice was cold: "You are not my relative, so it is better to keep quiet."
"So what if they're not your relatives? Biqing has already given you enough face."
Xuan Yi finally spoke, "The demon world is in turmoil due to the floods. It's truly remarkable that you and I have managed to survive until the end of the world. You don't value your life, and in a fit of rage, you've spoken discouraging words, abandoning yourself to despair."
Xuan Yi released the restraints in disappointment. "I've failed in my duty and failed to discipline my child properly. I'm unworthy of being a brother. I truly feel guilty towards my parents. Now, go on. From today on, I won't control you anymore."
Mo Jue's pupils trembled, and his rationality gradually returned, but he stood there in shame without moving an inch.
"It's getting late."
Xuan Yi turned around and said, "Now that the lotus root has been returned, I hope Miss Shui Yun will not embarrass us any further and let us pass through here as soon as possible."
"Wait a minute!"
Shui Yun said timidly, "I have something else I want to discuss with Master Xuan Yi."
"Miss Shuiyun, you can speak freely."
"I think……"
Shui Yun quietly glanced at the butterfly wings behind Meng Chi and said, "I'd like to invite you to stay for a few days."
Xuan Yi declined, saying, "The journey ahead is long, so it's inconvenient for me to stay overnight."
"Then...then..." Shui Yun hesitated to speak.
"Miss Shuiyun, Xuanyi is a reasonable person."
Seeing that she seemed to have something to hide, Biqing said gently, "If it's really inconvenient for you, you might as well tell me and I'll help you convey it."
Shui Yun shook her head, took a deep breath, and spoke with great determination: "Master Xuan Yi, I want to borrow someone from you."
Xuan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "I have promised Biqing to send her to the human world. There is no way she can stay here with you."
"Not Miss Biqing!"
Shui Yun's eyes fell on Meng Chi and she whispered, "It's this young master."
Meng Chi was shocked, thinking he was hallucinating: "Me?"
Shuiyun nodded.
Meng Chi said anxiously: "What are you borrowing me for?! I'm not someone you can just ignore!"
He ran behind Xuan Yi and said, "Xuan Yi! You can't abandon me here! I haven't found a good place for my people yet!"
Xuan Yi turned slightly to expose Meng Chi to Shui Yun's sight.
Biqing asked curiously, "Miss Shuiyun, what are you doing with Meng Chi?"
Shui Yun said, "Although we have lotus roots to purify the water, the spiritual power in them has long since diminished, and can only barely allow us to grow. And we, the lotus clan, need pollination and flowering in order to reproduce and transform."
"Although these lotus flowers can bloom with the help of spiritual energy, pollination is extremely difficult, and they are unable to reproduce. As a result, the members of the tribe have died out, and they are unable to transform."
Shui Yun said shyly, "You can see that I am the only one in the clan now."
"So..."
Meng Chi paused and asked, "Girl, how did you transform?"
"Other demon tribes came to help us in the early years, and I transformed at that time."
Shui Yun said, "Later, the water source of the demon world was corroded by foul air, and fewer and fewer demons came to help. We also tried to find a solution ourselves, but the effect was minimal. In addition, foreign tribes coveted the lotus roots, and many elders in the tribe died in this cause. In the end, I am the only one left here."
"If it weren't for the crocodile dragon's help, helping me to drive out the foreign enemies and protect the lotus flowers of my tribe, I would have long since become a desolate soul."
Shui Yun's voice had a hint of tears in it as she spoke to the end.
Meng Chi lowered his head and said nothing, thinking hard.
Biqing was deeply moved after hearing this, but Xuanyi, on the other hand, was not interested in Shuiyun's words.
Xuan Yi turned around and said, "Meng Chi and I are just passing by. If you want to keep him, just ask his wishes. Bi Qing and I will be waiting for your response on the lotus."
He came to Biqing and asked slowly, "Do you want me to help you get up? If you and I stay here, we might disturb their conversation."
"I can go up by myself."
Biqing quietly glanced at Mo Jue, who was standing in the distance and hadn't spoken for a long time, hoping that Xuan Yi could say something to him to break the deadlock.
Biqing blinked at Xuanyi.
Xuan Yi looked away, unmoved.
Mo Jue lowered his head, looking very hurt.
"Xuan Yi, go see Master Mo Jue."
Bi Qing advised, "Young Master Mo Jue just spoke hastily. There's no need to treat him so coldly."
Xuan Yi turned a deaf ear to her and turned around decisively, flying onto the lotus before her.
Embarrassed, Bi Qing walked up to Mo Jue and, after a moment's deliberation, decided to speak frankly, "Master Mo Jue, Xuan Yi actually cares about you very much. He informed me of your situation long ago."
Mo Jue was stunned and smiled bitterly: "So you knew about me all along..."
No wonder his brother said that Biqing had given him enough dignity.
It's actually like this.
"Let's go up first, and I'll explain it to you slowly."
Bi Qing put her hands on her hips and raised her chin. "But before that, you have to apologize to me first! What do you mean I'm not your family?! In the early days of chaos, heaven and earth were one, and there was no such thing as the six realms of gods and demons. If we really trace it back to the past, you and I are family!"
Mo Jue lowered his eyebrows and said, "I was rude just now. I hope Fairy Biqing won't take it to heart."
"That's more like it!"
The two flew onto the lotus to look for Xuan Yi, leaving Shui Yun and Meng Chi talking there.
Mo Jue looked at his brother's back standing in the greenhouse, feeling too guilty to go forward.
He lowered his voice and pleaded with Biqing for help: "I hope the fairy can help me put in a few good words in front of my brother."
Bi Qing thought to herself: You wolf demons have an exceptionally keen sense of smell, how could Xuan Yi not know that you and I were coming?
"What else are you doing here?"
Xuan Yi's words of distancing himself from others were heard, and Biqing shook her head repeatedly.
Xuan Yi knew that the two of them were coming, but he was still angry and really didn't want to pay attention to his younger brother.
Bi Qing's eyes turned, and she cleared her throat. "Master Mo Jue, you really shouldn't have angered Xuan Yi! You don't know that when he begged me to go to the human world that day, he asked me to pay more attention to the things that can heal your heart meridians!"
Mo Jue's eyes welled up, and he threw himself into his brother's arms, hugging him tightly: "Why are you always like this? You never discuss anything with me?"
"Conferring with you is like playing the lute to a cow."
Xuan Yi said sadly, "Do you really think that your brother doesn't want to take that lotus root for himself?"
He patted Mo Jue's back and pushed him away: "I said, I won't gamble with my life."
Xuan Yi walked over to Biqing and reached out to touch the thin spiritual energy surrounding her.
The moment it was touched, the meridians in the body felt like a stone was stuck, causing severe blockage.
"When I held that piece of lotus root, the demonic power was instantly suppressed."
Xuan Yi withdrew his hand, a dot of blue demonic energy gathering at his fingertips. "Without demonic energy, we lose our keen sense of smell and night vision. This is fatal for us wolf demons."
The blue demonic power blossomed into a flower. Xuan Yi lowered his eyes and handed the flower to Biqing.
Before Biqing could take it, the flower was dispersed by the spiritual power surrounding her.
Biqing sighed in disappointment.
"Without demonic power, I can't protect the people I want to protect. Without demonic power, even the lotus root is useless. Moreover, the spiritual power in the lotus root is not abundant."
Xuan Yi grabbed Bi Qing's wrist and said, "I'm sorry."
The blue demonic power suddenly burst out from his palm and rushed towards the spiritual power in front of Biqing.
This time, the golden light failed to disperse the blue demonic power.
The golden and blue lights intertwined together, like silk floating in the air, surrounding Xuan Yi and Bi Qing.
The blue demonic energy threatened to break through the golden spiritual energy, but was fiercely suppressed. Trapped within the spiritual energy, the demonic energy scurried about for a moment before converging and swirling around, seeking a breakthrough.
In just a moment, the demonic power suddenly broke out of the confinement and dispersed the spiritual power that suppressed itself.
The air current blew up the sleeves of the three people, making a rustling sound, and hit them like a knife cutting.
Xuan Yi hooked his finger, and the demonic power turned into a wisp of blue smoke and returned to his body.
The spiritual energy surrounding Biqing failed to gather together for a long time.
Xuan Yi sighed softly, "How much water can a lotus root with such little spiritual power purify?"
Mo Jue finally understood why his brother returned the lotus root.
Giving up a lotus root that is of little use and can cause trouble is the best option.
"Ajue, you are not a reckless person. I don't want to hear what you said today again."
Xuan Yi said, "You should take good care of yourself and take care of your health. When you inherit the position of leader in the future, I will be able to have a few hundred years of leisure time. That will be a true concern for me and a relief for me."
Mo Jue vowed, "Brother, I will never say such discouraging words again."
"This is my Xuan Yi's younger brother."
Xuan Yi continued, "Ajue, I've asked Biqing to help you find a cure, but don't hold out too much hope. If we find it, we'll be happy. If not, we shouldn't blame anyone."
Mo Jue nodded: "I know."
There was no estrangement between the two brothers. After talking it out, they quickly reconciled and returned to their previous state.
Biqing sighed from the bottom of her heart: "The relationship between you two brothers is really enviable."
Ever since she cried and asked Xuan Yi to eat her instead of returning to the heaven, Xuan Yi and Mo Jue knew that Bi Qing was not having a good time in the heaven.
Seeing this, Mo Jue teased with a smile, "Didn't Fairy Biqing just say that you and I are family? Why don't you become sworn brothers with us two and become your elder brother? What do you think, Fairy Biqing?"
Biqing was about to refuse, but Xuanyi spoke up before her: "Ajue, the demon world is dangerous, do you want to kill her?"
Bi Qing agreed, "That's right!" and then joked, "Why don't you, Master Mo Jue, accept me as your sister? Wouldn't it be better to have someone love you?"
Mo Jue waved his hands repeatedly: "My brother alone is giving me a headache. If there are more sisters to look after me, wouldn't that be like asking for my life?"
Biqing covered her face with a low laugh, looking at the two people on the lotus leaves on the water, and said, "Let's go see Miss Meng Chi and Shui Yun. We've been waiting for so long and they haven't come up yet. I wonder how their conversation is going."
"I really should go and see it."
Mo Jue coughed dryly twice and said, "I just wanted to ask Miss Shuiyun to help me retrieve the dagger that fell into the water. It was a gift from my brother. If it is lost, my brother and I will be very sad."
