Stupid? Or pretending?
The guard's tone was filled with surprise and hostility: "Why are you impersonating someone else? Why the God of Purification?"
Another guard scoffed, "The God of Purification has already driven my master out, yet you still have the nerve to come to Lanfang Palace? Do you really think our master can summon you and dismiss you at will?"
Yanzhu was a little silent. She felt that no matter whether she succeeded in proving herself or not, she would not be liked.
Unlike the second form, who acts arbitrarily and never speaks when she can take action, the original form of Yan Zhu adheres to the principle: it is better to do less than more, and to avoid taking action if possible. It is best to regard her as a nobody.
The woman instructed Yan Zhi, "You will transform into a little black crow and fly in to treat the wound yourself. Also, tell your young master that if he wants to discuss the matter of Yan Fan, he can come to Lonely Realm to find me."
As soon as the woman finished giving her instructions, she saw a slender figure walking towards her not far from the door. Judging from his pace, he seemed to be in a hurry.
Since forming the elixir, Yan Zhu's perception of the surroundings has been qualitatively improved. However, as the saying goes, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish; if the person is too observant, there will be no followers. Being a little confused is not necessarily a bad thing.
Qingxuan frowned, a look of oppression rarely seen on Yanzhu. He asked, "What's going on? You don't even recognize Yanzhi?"
The guard was shocked and looked down carefully. He thought to himself that Yan Zhi usually looked like a little black crow and he had never seen him in his youthful appearance.
"The Lord God is happy or angry, it's us who are blind!"
Qing Xuan: "Tell the others in Lan Fang Palace that seeing the Pure Turbid God is like seeing me. If you show even the slightest disrespect, you will not be allowed to stay."
"Yes, sir."
Qingxuan looked at Yanzhu and said, "Let's go."
Yan Zhu met the man's gaze, which was as calm as water after he had been furious, and couldn't help but wonder, when did this man become so violent and irritable?
But the changes in his face were as fast as ever.
——
Lanfang Hall, the main hall.
Qingxuan crushed the healing pill, and the fragrance of the medicine instantly filled the entire hall. At the same time, a stream of light emerged from Qingxuan's palm, and the scars on Yanzhi's face were healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Qingxuan: "Where are those people?"
Yanzhi was worried that his young master would blame him for attacking, so he hesitated and said slowly: "I only used 10% of my cultivation..."
At the same time, he carefully placed the broken hairpin in his arms on the table.
Seeing the young man's cowardly look, Yan Zhu looked at Qing Xuan unhappily: "If Yan Zhi doesn't take action now, his life will be in danger. Those people are young, but they are bullying others by taking advantage of their power. I will transmit their footage to Guanlan Terrace, killing two birds with one stone. It's a good opportunity to see who they are."
Qingxuan raised his eyebrows and threw out the yarrow bead. The bustling scene of Guanlan Terrace came to him.
The leaders had ferocious expressions on their faces and were fuming with anger.
"Go and save them!"
"Who did it?"
"My son!"
"Who the hell is that? Who gave him the guts to do that?!"
"Check it for me!"
Some of the onlookers were there to watch the show, some were there to enjoy the fun, and some were there to secretly vent their anger.
Yan Zhu: "The young man in the lead is the son of the God Realm's number one alchemist. The medicine furnace he carries is very similar to Yan Fan's, and it contains turbid air. Isn't it a coincidence?"
Qingxuan took the yarrow bead and waved his hand. A young man in black clothes appeared out of thin air, lowering his head and waiting for instructions.
"I'll give you one day to go to the Peach Blossom River and see who is involved and what their backgrounds are, especially the Divine Lord Bai Mo."
"Yes, young master." The young man disappeared on the spot.
Yan Zhu narrowed her eyes slightly. In the past year in Lonely Land, except for Qingxuan's mother who appeared once, she had never seen anyone else around him. She had also never seen him feel oppressive towards his subordinates because of his high position. This reminded her of another person, Haotian.
At this time, Yan Zhu discovered that her familiarity and understanding of men were one-sided.
"You don't ask me why I must kill Yan Fan?"
Lost in thought, Yan Zhu was pulled back from her thoughts by the man's question. She seemed puzzled as to why he was asking such a question despite already knowing the answer. She said, "Isn't it because he knows that you have recovered your cultivation and have been promoted to the Divine Venerable Realm?"
Qingxuan's expression was complicated, and he finally sighed: "That's right..."
Yan Zhu felt that the man was a little strange. It couldn't be that he killed Yan Fan himself for her and the position of priest just because of Yan Fan's offensive gaze?
According to her understanding of men, the most important thing is to have a sure win and the situation will not change due to any variables caused by romance.
Qingxuan's killing of Yanfan was enough to prove that Yanfan had no value anymore. Keeping him would be a hidden danger instead.
Everything is under control and no other variables are allowed.
Yan Zhu asked, "How confident are you about the thunder punishment in three days?"
Qing Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm not sure. There have been less than ten people who have been able to survive the 7749 Purple Thunders in the past thousand years."
Yan Zhu pursed her red lips, wondering if it would be too late to quit now.
As if sensing something, Qingxuan casually asked, "Are you scared?"
"Who isn't afraid? I don't want to be struck by lightning."
However, it is easy to get on the pirate ship but difficult to get off.
Qingxuan chuckled, suddenly stood up and moved closer to the woman, then stopped under the latter's vigilant gaze.
Yan Zhu frowned and leaned her upper body back slightly away from the man. At this moment, Qing Xuan seemed to be possessed by Yan Zhu's second form. Both his movements and eyes were frivolous.
"Talk is okay, but don't get so close to me."
Yan Zhu reached out and pushed the man, and she immediately felt the steady and strong heartbeat in his chest.
Why... a little fast.
Qingxuan let out a low laugh from his throat, and the warmth from the other person spread uncontrollably to the woman's fingertips through the clothes, causing a slight tremor.
The woman's eyelashes drooped, harmless and innocent.
"Thinking back to when you were in the medicine furnace, you did much more than this." Qingxuan's lips curled up into an inexplicable smile.
Yan Zhu vaguely heard a hint of grievance, it must be an illusion.
The woman pushed the man hard and said seriously, "That's the second form."
But she didn't expect that the other party would not move at all, and hover over her like a small mountain.
"You can tell the difference."
Qingxuan's big hand brushed across the broken hairpin, and the next second, except for the small piece of the pistil at the core of the hairpin, the rest returned to its original shape. The man slowly inserted it into the woman's black hair, and his eyes darkened as he moved gently.
When the woman wasn't noticing, the man put the hairpin away.
Yan Zhu noticed something in her hair and subconsciously looked up, only to meet the man's deep gaze. He continued to lower his body. A deep and powerful voice came to her ears. His thin lips moved slightly, and he said word by word -
"Be careful, the walls have ears."
Yan Zhu was stunned. Is there a traitor in Lanfang Palace? Before she could think about it, the man said again -
"At any time, as long as I am alive, I will never let anything happen to you."
"The same thing happened with the Jingyuan ghost and this thunder punishment."
"So, Yanzhu, please trust me at all times."
Yan Zhu's heart skipped a beat, but the next second she heard the man say solemnly, "We will be the best partners of the six realms."
Yanzhu rolled her eyes: "Whatever you say."
I know that a dog man can't spit out ivory.
She shouldn't have expected it.
Suddenly, the pendant around her neck felt unusual, so Yan Zhu took it out and shook it with her hand.
Qingxuan maintained a half-pressed posture: "What's wrong?"
Yan Zhu's eyelashes were half drooped, casting a shadow. She thought of the last time the pendant was abnormal, and the image of the conversation between Qingxuan and Rong Shang came through her. Only then did Yan Zhu understand the purpose of Qingxuan approaching her.
"It's Rong Shang."
Now, Yan Zhu was not surprised, as the tone was what she had expected. But what if it was also related to Qingxuan like last time?
Yan Zhu looked at Qing Xuan, signaling him to avoid her with her eyes, but he was like a blind man, and met her gaze as if nothing had happened, and said frankly -
"What's wrong?"
Yan Zhu's forehead jumped violently. She was about to speak out and ask the man to stay away from her, but Qing Xuan added, "Aren't we the best partners?"
"Okay." Yan Zhu was too lazy to say more.
The woman lowered her head and fiddled with the pendant, not noticing that Qingxuan's eyes gradually became as dark as ink.
Yan Zhu input a trace of Chaos Spirit into the pendant, and then Rong Shang's clear and gentle voice came from the pendant.
"Ayan, I heard that you found the man with the mole?"
"Yes, he is the Yanfan Divine Venerable who controls the epidemics in the human world. We learned from him that there are other people behind the scenes. We have confirmed that they are urging the spiritual spring to evolve. As for their other purposes, we still don't know.
As for the commotion he caused in the Netherworld last time, it was to collect turbid air for research, to see if he could artificially fuse it with the Spiritual Spring to accelerate its transformation."
Rong Shang's voice suddenly became clear: "So that's how it is. I heard that you and Qingxuan are going to be subjected to 49 purple thunders?"
"It's only been one night, and it's already spread to the underworld?"
Yan Zhu was surprised for a moment and said, "It's okay, it shouldn't be fatal..."
The other party chuckled: "Purple lightning is a punishment from heaven, its power should not be underestimated. If Ah Yan doesn't mind, there is a treasure in the underworld that can absorb lightning, the Underworld Stone, which you can borrow for use."
The Dark Stone? So powerful?
Yan Zhu raised her eyebrows, feeling more confident: "Thank you, Rong Shang."
As she finished speaking, the woman's peripheral vision caught sight of Qingxuan's upper body pressing closer and closer. She could even feel the man's scorching breath...
Unable to bear it any longer, he reached out and pushed it hard.
But Yan Zhu didn't expect the man to half-heartedly give in. She missed the target and, coupled with excessive force, she threw Qingxuan to the ground, the two of them overlapping on the soft carpet...
"Why--"
Yan Zhu was stunned for a moment. In her original form, she had always been tactful and reserved, and had never done anything so reckless.
This is a common occurrence in the second form!
On the other hand, Qingxuan seemed to be used to it. He just lay down with his arms spread out, without any other movements. He just opened his mouth and started to blame others.
"Do you still remember the medicine furnace? Are you seeking revenge for that day?"
That day, Qingxuan was intoxicated by the fragrance of ylang-ylang and fell unconscious, and she was overwhelmed...
"Ayan? Qingxuan is with you?"
Rong Shang's voice came from the pendant, instantly bringing Yan Zhu back to her senses, and the woman hurriedly climbed up.
"Ah, yes... He's here too. By the way... How's Zhu Ru doing lately?"
Yanzhu's brain froze and she abruptly changed the subject.
Seeing this, Qingxuan, who was sitting on the ground with half-bent legs, looked at the woman's slightly red ears, and a hint of meaning appeared at the corner of his mouth. It was not until Yanzhu's fierce starry eyes glared at him that his expression instantly became calm as usual.
"Sorry, it was my fault."
Yan Zhu was too lazy to pay attention to the man and looked at the pendant. Rong Shang's clear voice came from it: "Since Zhu Ru returned to the God Realm, in addition to going back and forth to the human world every day to eliminate evil spirits and maintain the order of the human world, she also studies the formation.
However... Zhu Ru recently discovered something rather strange. She said that most people with evil and foul energy recently came from the same place, Lingquan Town in the human world.
Yan Zhu was shocked. This place again?
Lingquan Town, the word has spread in the God Realm that she opened a turbidity suppression department, and now there are two evil and turbid energies. I have to go there after I finish the things at hand.
