Because according to the trajectory of my previous life, the monster that once brought disaster to the world did not appear in the world until the moment I was surrounded and attacked by hundreds of Xuanmen families!
And it was ten years later that I was surrounded by hundreds of Xuanmen families!
Shen Qiqi said in her heart.
But she obviously couldn't tell the reason.
It’s not that she didn’t trust Xie Beiming, it’s just that her resurrection from the dead, and her resurrection to ten years ago, was too strange, and it seemed like sorcery no matter how you looked at it.
In her previous life, she was hunted down and killed because of her evil magic. It is impossible to say that she has no psychological trauma.
So in this life, she really doesn't want people to associate her with evil magic anymore.
Especially, she didn't want to plant the seed that she was a "witch" in Xie Beiming's mind.
An instinctive resistance from deep within.
Shen Qiqi was stuck for a moment. She quickly organized her words in her mind and then gave the reason.
"Because Jiuying was burned to death by Emperor Zhenwu's blazing fire. This is a fact known to everyone in the world, even a three-year-old child knows it."
"..." Xie Beiming did not refute immediately, nor did he feel lost because of Shen Qiqi's concealment.
On the contrary, there was a hint of relief in his eyes when he looked at Shen Qiqi.
That feeling of "the child has finally grown up and matured."
Seeing him like this, Shen Qiqi suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart. She felt that Xie Beiming looked at her with a kind of old father's satisfaction.
She coughed uncomfortably a few times, thought for a moment, and asked, "It's said that the Nine Infants are afraid of fire, and the evil spirit we killed in Furong Town was also afraid of fire. Is it because of this coincidence that you connected the evil spirit in Furong Town with the Nine Infants?"
Otherwise, Shen Qiqi really couldn't understand why Xie Beiming suddenly had the idea that the evil creature in Furong Town was Jiuying.
As for being afraid of fire...
Nonsense, what she used to burn the evil creature in Furong Town was the Fire Lotus Karma Fire. It would be strange if she wasn't afraid of that thing.
Because the Fire Lotus Karma Fire is more ferocious than the spiritual fire and can directly burn the soul into ashes, it is the natural enemy of all evil spirits in the world.
Those evil spirits hiding in the darkness will naturally be afraid.
But the fact that there is a fire lotus in her blood, just like her resurrection from the dead, cannot be told to anyone.
Especially don’t tell this to Xie Beiming.
In her previous life, she and Xie Beiming were so at odds with each other that she didn't tell him that there was a fire lotus in her blood. It was even more impossible for her to let him know this secret in this life.
She is now using the Red Spirit Pearl to hide the aura of the Fire Lotus very well, but she doesn't know when this secret will be exposed. Once it is exposed, she is afraid that she will be regarded as a witch like in her previous life.
That would implicate Xie Beiming.
At this moment, the voices of Wu Qiongcang and Yuyuan Xianzun came from behind.
Shen Qiqi's heart moved, and she hurriedly comforted Xie Beiming, "Isn't that head in my master's hands now? If that thing is really Jiuying, Master would definitely be able to detect it. Master hasn't said anything yet, which means that thing is not Jiuying's."
Xie Beiming was speechless, thinking that if you knew the details of the great battle back then, and knew the relationship between your master and Emperor Zhenwu, and your master's hatred for Jiuying that was deep in his bones and blood, then you would not say this now.
If Wu Qiongcang really thought that there was nothing wrong with the head, how could he insist on using the regeneration spell to restore the head?
Wu Qiongcang had clearly noticed something.
It's just that he still lacks the final step of confirmation.
Xie Beiming glanced sideways behind him and saw that his master and Wu Qiongcang had already arrived, so he had to stop talking for the time being.
In front of Wu Qiongcang, he couldn't go into details about the war that year. After all, he shouldn't know so much, and know it in such detail.
Thinking of this, Xie Beiming could only say to Chen Qiqi, "I hope I'm overthinking it. But it's better to be safe than sorry. You should be more careful on a daily basis and be on guard against those evil spirits who won't give up and come looking for you again... What are you laughing at?"
Xie Beiming stopped talking and looked at the smiling girl suspiciously.
Did he say anything wrong?
Chen Qiqi: "I laugh at you for being so confused. This is the Wuji Sect. Which blind evil spirit dares to come and break into the Wuji Sect? Even if there really is a blind evil spirit that wants to force its way into the Wuji Sect, it should ask the barrier in front of the mountain gate if it will allow it."
Xie Beiming was stunned for a moment, then reacted and couldn't help laughing.
Yes, this is the Wuji Sect. Which evil spirit would dare to risk its life to break into the Wuji Sect?
Just like Qiqi said, even if there are really evil spirits who want to break into Wuji Sect, they have to ask the barrier in front of the mountain gate whether it will let them pass.
As long as Qiqi stays in Wuji Sect, she will not be in danger.
Given Wu Qiongcang's personality, he would definitely find out the life story of that head. Then he would naturally know whether that thing was Jiuying or not.
Therefore, before Wu Qiongcang figured out the origin of the head, he just had to find a way to prevent Qiqi from going down the mountain.
Thinking of this, Xie Beiming's heart settled down a little, and his brows finally relaxed. He curled his lips and smiled, "I was confused. I actually forgot that this is the Wuji Sect."
Shen Qiqi looked at him, blinked, and said in surprise: "Master Xie, it turns out that you also have times when you say you are confused. I thought you were..."
The girl bit her lip, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Xie Beiming raised his eyebrows and looked at her, curiously asking, "What do you think it is?"
"I thought you were just too concerned. There's an old saying that goes, 'The more someone cares about someone, the more likely they are to panic when they're in danger.' Even if they're usually smart and calm, they'll experience temporary mental dementia and panic. I thought you were making that stupid mistake because you cared about me, Mr. Xie."
“…” Xie Beiming was stunned.
Shen Qiqi sighed softly, twisting her fingers and muttering softly, "It turns out I was overthinking it."
Xie Beiming: "..."
Mr. Xie, who usually seldom showed any expression, suddenly became expressionless. Whether it was because of anxiety or some other reason, a blush suddenly appeared on his jade-like cheeks. He said, "I... I..."
He kept saying "I" for a long time but couldn't come up with any result, and his face became redder and redder.
