Xu Yinglian was a smart man after all. Although he lost his composure briefly because of being called "trash", he quickly reacted.

The senior brother scolded her at that time, but actually he was trying to save her.

If she hadn't been brought out of her insane state by those deafening words "rubbish", she would have probably lost her spiritual heart and all her cultivation would have been destroyed.

So Junior Sister Xu could only honestly apologize to her senior brother, thank him sincerely, and then obediently follow him back to the Kunlun Mountains.

Qiu Changtian brought Xu Yinglian to Yuxu Palace and hurriedly explained the matter to Master Ziwei.

The shocking head of Ziwei Sect immediately got off the Nine-Colored Lotus Platform, pointed his whisk at Xu Yinglian's brow, and carefully examined her sea of ​​consciousness.

No trace of the lurking demon was found.

Taoist obsession can be divided into two types according to the cause:

The first is the flaw in one's Tao heart, such as love, hate, anger, ignorance, unfulfilled desires, emotional fluctuations, and loss of concentration, which can be seen by the demon from outer space, and the demon's heart will be directly conquered, causing death on the spot.

The second type is the lurking demon in your heart. If your Tao heart has no flaws for the time being, but you are being targeted by the devil from outer space, it will secretly reside in your deepest and most shameful thoughts, transform into a demon in your heart, and wait for the right opportunity.

Until one day, something happens to you, your mind is shaken and flaws appear; or you are faced with a life-or-death situation, such as a heavenly calamity, then this parasitic demon will suddenly attack you, attacking you from both inside and outside, making the danger greatly increased.

In fact, the second situation is what cultivators encounter most often. After all, the flaws in the heart of Tao can be remedied, but the parasitic inner demon is absolutely difficult to detect. One of the reasons why a clear heart of Tao is a rare talent is that the heart is like a mirror, leaving the inner demon nowhere to hide.

Although Master Ziwei had briefly explored Xu Yinglian's sea of ​​consciousness and found no traces of lurking inner demons, it did not mean that it was foolproof.

So he invited several Nascent Soul elders to use all kinds of magic weapons and supernatural powers to search Xu Yinglian's sea of ​​consciousness inside and out again, carefully several times, not daring to be careless.

"At present, it seems unlikely that the inner demon is lurking." The elder who eliminated crimes in the Criminal Law Hall took back the Heart-Searching Mirror and said in a deep voice, "The Seven-Aperture Heart has a strong resistance to the inner demon. If the outer demon is lurking in it, it will be like boiling oil in a raging fire, with nowhere to stay... This possibility can basically be ruled out."

"But regardless of this, Xu Yinglian's Dao heart has a lot of flaws, especially in the two levels of anger and stupidity."

"You must know that if you cannot obtain what you want and you are still angry, this is the biggest taboo in cultivation..."

"That's enough." Master Ziwei waved his whisk and interrupted him, "I have my own ideas on how to eliminate the sins."

"Yeah." Several elders looked at each other, then said goodbye to the headmaster and left.

Xu Yinglian looked pale and said nothing. Qiu Changtian stood beside him, solemn and silent.

After a while, the chief Xu Changqing also hurried over after hearing the news.

"Great grandfather." Xu Yinglian bowed to him.

Xu Changqing didn't look at her, but asked Ziwei Sect Master:

"Master, Ying Lian and Chang Tian's engagement as a couple, do you think it can be brought forward..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yinglian's face immediately turned pale.

Xu Changqing's status in the secular family is the uncle of Xu Yinglian's grandfather. Since her great-grandfather has passed away, Xu Changqing can barely be considered her direct elder and can decide her marriage on behalf of the Tiannan Xu family.

Master Ziwei hesitated for a moment and was about to speak, but Qiu Changtian took a step forward and said resolutely:

"Master, Senior Brother Xu. Junior Sister's Dao heart is now flawed. As the chief senior brother, I cannot escape the blame."

After saying that, he lifted up his robe and wanted to kneel down to apologize. Xu Changqing hurriedly supported him, saying "it's not necessary" repeatedly, with an expression of shame on his face.

After all, in Xu Changqing's opinion, Xu Yinglian had brought this upon himself.

It's fine that you have a strong personality, but you can't allow others to be stronger than you?

You wanted to win but failed, and ended up with your faith in the Tao in tatters. Can you still put the blame on others?

Qiu Changtian did not insist, but just said:

"As her senior brother, I will naturally do my best to help her mend the flaws in her Dao heart. Regardless of whether we become Dao companions or not, this will never change!"

His tone was so powerful and resounding that both Xu Changqing and Sect Leader Ziwei were moved.

You know, if they become a Taoist couple early, it means Qiu Changtian will become the son-in-law of the Tiannan Xu family, and thus gain the full support of this old-fashioned immortal cultivation family.

The price is also clear: helping Xu Yinglian to make up for the flaws in his Dao heart will definitely delay his own cultivation. So it is actually an exchange of interests for both sides.

Now Qiu Changtian took the initiative to express that they don’t need to become Taoist couples in advance (that is, he doesn’t need the Tiannan Xu family to fulfill their promise in advance), and he is willing to help Xu Yinglian...

These words were so grand that even Xu Yinglian bit her lower lip and could not say a word.

If Qiu Changtian did not express his opinion, even if she did not have the confidence to convince Xu Changqing, she at least had the courage to express her protest.

As a result, her senior brother took the initiative to stand up for her and prevent the Taoist couple from getting engaged earlier. She couldn't agree with him, otherwise it would be too heartless.

Xu Changqing was silent for a long time, then he sighed and said:

"It's okay if the engagement is not fulfilled in advance. But from today on, all the treatment that Junior Brother Qiu receives in the Xu family of Tiannan will be provided according to the standards of a Taoist couple who should be pitied."

"That's great." Master Ziwei twirled his beard and smiled.

What Xu Changqing meant was that even if you didn't want to get married early, you still had to give the resources to Qiu Changtian in advance. Our Tiannan Xu family also had to save face.

Xu Yinglian was thinking about something else:

Since everything is done according to the standards of a Taoist companion, doesn't that mean that when I go home to visit in the future, my senior brother will have to accompany me?

In the Xu family's ancestral worship ceremony, senior brother, as a husband, also wants to recite the sacrificial words with me?

Even if we stay overnight in the tribe, we might be treated as a couple, with only one room, one big bed, and one set of bedding...

This! Doesn’t this mean that “although they are not husband and wife in name, they are husband and wife in reality”?

Thinking of this, she felt more and more embarrassed.

But this matter was ultimately caused by my failure to stick to my faith and I could only rely on my senior brother for help.

If I make more requests, I would be really ungrateful.

Therefore, Xu Yinglian could only remain silent, neither nodding nor objecting, and showing a stubborn and obstinate attitude.

As for Master Ziwei and Xu Changqing, they naturally ignored her behavior and settled the matter in a few words.

After leaving Yuxu Palace, Xu Yinglian finally calmed down from his shame and anger, and asked helplessly:

"So, how do you plan to help me stabilize my mind?"

"Or, Senior Brother already knew that the reason why my Dao Heart had a flaw was because I had been lagging behind Senior Brother for a long time."

"So, Senior Brother, do you have any way to make me stronger quickly?"

"I have my own way." Qiu Changtian said calmly, "You just need to listen to me."

Xu Yinglian took a deep breath. He obviously knew that this matter was related to his life and he could not lose his temper. He could only nod and say:

"good."

"Yes." Qiu Changtian nodded majestically and said, "Let's go back to Jinling to prepare."

"What are you preparing for?" Xu Yinglian raised his sword.

"Prepare to defeat fellow disciples from Kunlun." Qiu Changtian said lightly.
