Nalan Qing looked stunned, with doubt in his eyes: "I do know some things, but why are you asking about him? You're not one of the Five Sects, so you don't need to participate in the competition."
"I have my reasons for asking, you have to tell me if you know anything about it."
"I know some." Nalan Qing turned around, looked at Qiyue, and told her anyway.
"I heard that he came here for only one person."
"..." A glint of light flashed in Qiyue's eyes: "Could she be the daughter of the Hengyang Sect Master?"
"You already know, why are you asking me?" Nalan Qing's eyes widened.
Qiyue pursed her lips, somewhat helplessly: "Would you believe me if I said I was just guessing?"
Nalan Qing didn't speak, but his face was full of disbelief. He felt that Qiyue might be testing him: "I heard my father say that when Xiao Yan was still a mortal, his village was invaded by monsters. A fairy sister asked her fellow senior brother to save him. That fairy sister was your former junior sister, Xia Wanqing, the daughter of the sect leader of Hengyang Sect."
"?" Qiyue frowned, her eyes showing a bewilderment that might be due to surprise.
Is this even possible? Believe it or not, she actually does remember. Not only Xia Wanqing was there, but the original owner of this body was also there. It was just a tree demon causing trouble.
She said there was a ghost. In the original story, this Xiao Yan did indeed cultivate immortality, but he was just an ordinary weapon refiner. Although he admired Xia Wanqing, he was just one of the sycophants. He wasn't that powerful in the original story at all, and the two never crossed paths again.
So you're forcing things just because there's no opportunity?
"How many people know about this? Why did he seek out Xia Wanqing?" These were the questions that Qiyue cared about most.
After all, too many people know about it, making it difficult to take action.
Nalan Qing thought for a while and shook his head: "This person has only recently emerged. Apart from the direct disciples of the five sects, the elders, and the sect leader, no one knows him. As for why he is looking for Xia Wanqing, I guess he probably likes her."
"I see..." Qi Yue's lips curled up; the opportunity had come at a time.
After seeing Nalan Qing off, Qiyue hurriedly sent messages to her senior brothers and sisters.
After the eight people sat cross-legged, they sneaked into the territory of the Crimson Fire Sect and the Hengyang Sect and found out where Xiao Yan often went.
Fenghuo Hall is a place in the Tiannan Secret Realm that specializes in buying and selling various refining materials.
And the movements of Xia Wanqing and Ye Qingyu.
As the person who knows Xia Wanqing best, after figuring things out, Qiyue put on a veil and, together with her senior brother Xie Ji'an, took the sixth-grade Rejuvenation Pill refined by her seventh senior brother Yun Huai, and headed to the Beacon Fire Hall.
Looking at Xiao Yan, who stood with his hands behind his back, Qi Yue spoke gently: "I wonder if I have met you before, fellow Daoist?"
Xiao Yan had heard this voice countless times in his dreams. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he turned around and, sure enough, saw the person from his dreams.
"It's me, Little Stone from Xiao Family Village. Don't you remember me, sister?"
Although the veil was on her face, Xiao Yan still recognized her. Many years had passed, and the little girl who had once begged someone to save her had grown into a graceful and beautiful young woman, just as gentle as she had been back then.
July burst into laughter inwardly.
[It's more like an old stone than a small pebble.]
His face beamed with joy and surprise: "Little Stone! It really is you! I've heard my father say that you're a genius among the younger generation of the Crimson Fire Sect, but I didn't believe it. I was even thinking of testing you during the Grand Competition. I never expected... Little Stone has really turned into a gem."
Xie Ji'an felt a chill run down his spine and sneered inwardly. "Pshaw, my junior sister is such a good actress. If I couldn't hear her thoughts, I would have been fooled too."
Xiao Yan, standing to the side, blushed and looked shy: "Yes, it's been many years. Little Stone has changed a bit, and Sister has become more and more beautiful."
Xie Ji'an: This kid is disgusting, I can't stand him!
With a furrowed brow, Xie Ji'an's voice was icy: "Who do you think you are, speaking so frivolously?"
A hint of hostility flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, but after glancing at the fairy sister beside him, he refrained from making a move, though his words were sarcastic and mocking.
"It's been many years, and Senior Brother Ye is still as aloof as ever. I truly admire him."
July's lips curled into a smile.
High EQ: Aloof and superior; Low EQ: Lacks tact and poor communication skills.
Xie Ji'an sneered: "You brat who only knows how to talk big, don't think that just because you have a little strength in this shabby sect you can be so arrogant with me. Don't you know what kind of person you are!"
Qiyue was clapping wildly in her heart.
[Holy crap, who can tell my senior brother and Ye Qingyu apart now! Well done, senior brother!]
Xie Ji'an's lips curled up, and he mocked Xiao Yan even more vehemently: "You think you're worthy of coveting Junior Sister? You're trash!"
Xiao Yan's eyes were bloodshot with rage. Qi Yue quickly pretended to be angry and pushed Xie Ji'an, saying coquettishly, "Senior brother! I won't allow you to talk about Xiao Shitou like that! In my heart, he is so much better than all the other disciples in the sect!"
The newly lit fire was extinguished by the frail figure and unwavering protection before him, but the murderous intent in his eyes remained undiminished.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential! Ye Qingyu, one day I will make you pay the price!"
"Heh~" Xie Ji'an sneered, looking down at Xiao Yan with a mocking expression.
"You? Don't even mention thirty years, even fifty years, in my eyes you're still a piece of trash! You think that by saying these things, my junior sister will think you have ambition? Wake up, you're just a piece of trash! And my junior sister has always only liked the strong. Don't even mention you, I'm not worthy of her."
Qi Yue's eyes were strange.
[Sure enough, there's absolutely no pressure when you're insulting someone else using their face.]
Xie Ji'an: What does it have to do with me, Xie Ji'an, if I say Ye Qingyu is unworthy?
Xiao Yan finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Ye Qingyu! Do you dare to fight me?!"
