"It really was her." Qi Yue wasn't surprised at all, or rather, she had already guessed it.
"Tell me how you escaped."
“It was someone who was imprisoned with me who saved me. He gave me something and asked me to give it to a disciple named Yuan Wei in the Kunlun Holy Land.”
As Yuan Ji spoke, she took out a jade pendant and handed it to Qi Yue. Qi Yue examined it carefully and realized that the jade pendant was a magical artifact that had not yet recognized its owner.
I thought about the name Yuanwei more carefully.
I feel like this name sounds familiar...
[Oh! I remember now! Isn't this the male supporting character from the original story who secretly loved Xia Wanqing and ultimately died at the hands of his cheap master while shielding her from an attack?]
[And this jade pendant seems to be the one the Grand Elder always carries with him. Could it be... that Yuan Wei is actually the Grand Elder's illegitimate son?]
July felt that she had discovered something extraordinary.
Yun Huai also felt like he had overheard a secret, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Hiss~".
"Who!" Qiyue exclaimed alertly.
Yuan Ji immediately stood up and shielded Qi Yue: "Master, run! I can't sense this person's aura. He might be the old man beside Luo Wuji! I didn't expect him to have already caught up with us here!"
"It's me, Junior Sister." Seeing that the female demon named Yuan Ji was talking more and more outrageously and even frightening Junior Sister, Yun Huai secretly regretted that he couldn't control his mouth and immediately revealed his identity.
Qiyue said irritably, "Are you crazy?! Why are you watching me instead of your own apprentice?! Pay up!"
As she spoke, she casually stretched out her hand, demanding spirit stones.
Yun Huai felt guilty and readily gave away a thousand mid-grade spirit stones: "Hehe, it's all my fault. Look, I've given you the spirit stones, so you won't be angry anymore, little sister~".
He spoke kind words and had a doting and ingratiating smile on his face. Yuan Ji couldn't understand what kind of weirdo this was, so she just silently stepped aside.
Qi Yue glared at him: "Come on, tell me, why are you following me? Don't you trust me, Seventh Senior Brother?"
"Heaven and earth bear witness! Junior Sister! Even if I don't believe Master, I can't not believe you!" Yun Huai quickly explained.
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow. Although he didn't seem to be lying, Yun Huai, with his seemingly shrewd appearance but a pair of simple-minded eyes, made her smile and let out a soft sneer.
"Pshaw, I don't believe it."
Yun Huai: "???"
No, why wouldn't you believe him? He doesn't seem like the kind of person who doesn't believe anyone and has something on his mind, does he?
"Junior Sister..." he said shamelessly, blinking his eyes as he leaned closer, "Look! How sincere my eyes are, can you really bear to misunderstand your senior brother like this?"
Qiyue raised her hand and pushed his face away, speechless: "Get lost, do you think you're a child? Stop acting cute, do you believe I'll tell my senior brothers and sisters that you've been following me?"
Her sinister threat.
Yun Huai immediately became obedient, reverting to his serious demeanor, and looked at Qi Yue, saying, "So, Junior Sister still believes in me, right?"
July glanced at him and said, "I don't believe it."
In reality, it's in my heart.
[How stupid! Of course I believe you. If I don't believe you, who else can I believe?]
"With your stupid expression, anyone with eyes can see you don't trust me to protect me, right?"
Yun Huai smiled. Although his junior sister was mischievous, she believed in him.
He smiled and said, "I heard you say you believe me, junior sister. In that case, I won't bother you any longer."
Before he finished speaking, he turned and left on his own, only to find that he couldn't get out when he reached the door.
There was nothing he could do but obediently sit at the door and wait for his junior sister to finish her business.
That said, Qiyue put the jade pendant into her bosom and said, "You don't need to worry about the jade pendant. He saved your life, and I will definitely take care of it."
"But where is Ling Qing'er now?"
"She is in Hengyang Sect. It is worth mentioning that she seems to have a grudge against that Qing'er, but she is also very close to Luo Wuji. The entire Hengyang Sect does not like her, but because of Luo Wuji, they are very respectful to her."
When Ling Qing'er was mentioned, Yuan Ji's expression became somewhat strange, indicating that she must have witnessed something between Ling Qing'er and Luo Wuji.
Although things didn't go as Qiyue expected, it was actually a great help to her plans.
"Yuan Ji, do you want to become the Demon King?" She looked at Yuan Ji, her eyes as deep and unfathomable as the ocean, revealing no emotion.
Yuan Ji dared not conceal the truth: "Master, I think that I want to sit on that high seat all the time and tear those who humiliated and bullied me to pieces. Otherwise, I would not have submitted to that disgusting old man, the Demon King."
Qiyue was very satisfied that Yuanji hadn't hidden her ambition, and the smile on her lips deepened: "Alright, your chance has come~".
Having learned from her previous experiences of being ambushed, Xia Wanqing had already informed Xia Wuxin that she had set up an array throughout the Hengyang Sect that could sense Qiyue. Unfortunately, she did not know that Qiyue was the true inventor of the Spirit Gathering Array and how profound her attainments in the field of array formations were.
However, the formation collapsed silently with a single kick.
“Master, Ling Qing’er is right there.”
Yuan Ji pointed to the highest mountain path in Hengyang Sect.
Qi Yue looked at it and saw that it was Zongyuan Peak, where the Supreme Elder was in seclusion.
It seems the Supreme Elder has encountered some trouble.
Upon hearing this, Yun Huai, who had come along, felt a pang of unease and grabbed Qi Yue, saying, "Junior Sister, I will definitely bring you the woman you want, okay?"
