After a brief report to Master Ziwei, Qiu Changtian flew away from Kunlun Sky Pillar on his sword and returned to Jinling Cave.

The fellow junior students who had been waiting here for a long time naturally congratulated and celebrated, and the scene was very lively.

Qiu Changtian responded one by one, and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be one person missing:

"Where's Junior Brother Guan?"

"Junior Brother Guan has gone out to gain experience." Fourth Junior Brother Yan Zhitui replied.

Qiu Changtian was surprised when he heard this.

Going out to gain experience definitely does not mean to complete the mission of the master.

Although Guan Zhan is not the chief disciple, the resources he has for cultivation are similar to those of ordinary inner disciples, which are many times richer than those of outer disciples. It is definitely enough for his own cultivation and he does not need to covet the rewards for the missions.

In other words, because I was promoted to the chief disciple, I feel that my cultivation progress is too backward, so I have to go out to visit famous mountains and rivers, searching for adventures that can quickly upgrade, right?

Thinking of this, Qiu Changtian looked at Xu Yinglian with a strange expression.

As for someone who would do such a thing, there is naturally nothing wrong with Guan Zhan's character, but it is more likely that Junior Sister Xu would do this!

Now I am already the chief of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the undisputed number one person below the Golden Core Realm, so why does Junior Sister Xu seem to have no reaction at all?

Doesn't she love me anymore?

Facing Qiu Changtian's slightly puzzled gaze, Xu Yinglian just smiled faintly and said nothing.

After the fellow disciples left, Xu Yinglian invited them:

"Brother, are you willing to walk with me?"

"Oh." Qiu Changtian didn't understand and agreed directly.

The two left the cave and took a leisurely stroll on the Jinling Mountain Road.

A few cranes flew by, and their clear cries echoed among the clouds in the valley.

"I've been thinking about a question recently." Xu Yinglian suddenly said.

"Junior sister, what difficulties have you encountered in your cultivation?" Qiu Changtian thought that the opportunity to increase the synchronization value had come again, and immediately said with a smile, "I can help you solve your doubts."

"It's the problem you mentioned last time, the moon in the sky and the moon in the water." Xu Yinglian said.

Qiu Changtian:!!!

He turned his eyes secretly, but found that there were no fellow junior brothers and sisters around.

Got to find a way to escape...

"I have already thought of the answer. Do you want to hear it, brother?" Xu Yinglian continued to ask.

"Listen." Qiu Changtian appeared calm on the surface, but he was extremely panicked inside.

"No matter which is true, the moon in the sky or the moon in the water." Xu Yinglian stretched out her white and slender fingers and slowly clenched her small fist, "I want them all."

Qiu Changtian: ???

Even though he was knowledgeable and experienced, he was almost defeated by his junior sister's outrageous answer.

However, he quickly came back to his senses, quickly suppressed the strange look on his face, and forced a smile:

"Junior sister, why are you so greedy? But..."

"I want to hear nice lies. I also want to hear unpleasant truths." Xu Yinglian's voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely firm, and there was a flame of persistence in his eyes.

Qiu Changtian was very familiar with that kind of fire. Every time Junior Sister Xu was chasing him hard, the strong emotion in her pupils seemed to be burning, like an infinitely shining and hot sun, almost making him sweat profusely.

"As long as I can get the real moon, whether it's the moon in the sky or the moon in the water, it's all in my palm." Xu Yinglian turned his head and stared at Qiu Changtian seriously, "Am I right, Brother?"

"That makes some sense." Qiu Changtian felt cold sweat coming out of his back. "Oh, by the way, today's breathing exercises have not been done yet. Junior sister, please allow me to leave first."

He turned around and left in a hurry. Xu Yinglian turned around gracefully and looked at his back quietly.

Only after Qiu Changtian disappeared around the corner of the mountain road did she step back half a step, barely holding on to the rock wall, feeling her legs and feet a little weak.

The words "I want them all" just now almost exhausted all her courage - you have to know that in this world, the concepts of ordinary women are still traditional and reserved, and the etiquette and restraints of monks are less, but their thinking habits are no exception.

The "direct attack" she had just launched against Qiu Changtian was considered an extremely heretical act in the eyes of the world. Even Xu Yinglian herself felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed when she thought about it now.

but……

But it was the answer she decided she had to say after careful consideration.

Whether out of her willfulness and self-esteem, or out of a strong desire to express something to her senior brother that even she herself was not sure of, Xu Yinglian felt that she could not continue to remain silent and delay on this topic.

Of course, the sight of her senior brother fleeing in the end also brought her great encouragement and pleasure.

No matter what, brother, I win this time!

Junior Sister Xu was secretly very happy, but Qiu Changtian fled all the way back to the cave, feeling confused and worried.

No way, has she discovered my true identity?

I want the moon in the sky and the moon in the water. Doesn’t that mean I want the autumn sky and the Chen Guanshui as well?

Damn it, when did I reveal my flaw? It must be that broken mirror that gave away the secret!

"I don't think that's what she meant." Kunlun Jing said weakly, "Junior Sister Xu...maybe she just wanted to say that whether you like her or not, she won't force it, and will only patiently play the role of your Taoist partner in the future."

"That makes sense. I agree with Yaoyao." Qingping Jian echoed.

"How do you know so much?" Qiu Changtian asked doubtfully.

"The moon in the sky refers to your sincerity; the moon in the water refers to your disguised kindness." Qing Ping Jian said calmly, "As long as she gets you, no matter you are polite to her on the surface or you love her sincerely, you can't escape from her grasp. After all, you can't find another Taoist partner."

"No." Kunlun Jing objected, "I think it should mean this: whether you like her now or not, she is confident that you will fall in love with her in the end."

"No, no." Qiu Changtian also expressed his objection, "Is it possible that Junior Sister Xu didn't have any hidden intentions. Just like when I pretended to test her about the moon in the sky and the moon in the water, I actually didn't think of the real answer myself."

"She just couldn't think of how to answer, so she just said something random to prove that she wasn't stumped by my question?"

Kunlun Mirror: ...

Qing Ping Sword: ...

Your guess is not impossible, but even a fool can see that Junior Sister Xu must be interested in you, right?

"Of course I know she's interested in me. After all, my personality is so strong!" Qiu Changtian said angrily, "The problem is... I'm not Qiu Changtian now! I can't wear the mask of Qiu Changtian to win the heart of Junior Sister Xu, right? If I take off the mask and she finds out my true identity, won't she chase me to the ends of the earth?"

"You're right, actually..." Kunlun Jing felt extremely relieved. This guy finally realized that it was wrong to wear a mask and deceive a girl's feelings.

So she was about to praise the other party and put forward her own opinions, but she heard Qing Ping Jian say:

"Isn't it okay if you don't get discovered? When you get the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone, just throw away Qiu Changtian's mask. Xu Yinglian doesn't know the relationship between Chen Guanshui and Qiu Changtian, so is he still going to hunt you down to reveal your true identity?"

"What you said does make sense." Qiu Changtian pondered, "Well, A Jing? Did you want to say something just now?"

"...No, nothing."
