At this moment, Elder Fei fell silent.

It was not until everyone around him looked at him in strange eyes that he parroted and said in a very stiff tone: "You brought the monster here."

Chu Tiankuo raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Not bad!"

Elder Fei looked a little unhappy, but he still insisted, "Where is the monster? Bring it here so I can confront it."

Hearing this, Chu Tiankuo looked at Elder Fei in surprise, his eyes and tone were full of confusion.

"You are wrong, elder. I killed the monster and brought the body here. I wonder what the hell is the point of your confrontation?"

Hearing this answer, Elder Fei's heart was suddenly filled with ecstasy at having survived a disaster.

Although his position was not high, he was still an elder. The fact that monsters were infesting the territory was no secret in the palace.

So he had heard the general story of this old news from eighty years ago.

For example, the monster causing trouble in Shancha Town is the legendary love-eating demon that cannot be harmed by swords or magic.

It is said that this kind of monster can only be killed under special circumstances, and after being killed, the monster will disappear into thin air, leaving no trace in the world.

If Chu Tiankuan really used a special method to bring the monster here alive, he would still be a little wary.

But since the other party claimed to have brought a corpse, it must be a fake.

Thinking of this, Elder Fei's smile suddenly showed a determination to win.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Tiankuo took out a monster corpse with a hard shell.

Elder Fei just took a look and waved his hand impatiently.

"Are you kidding me? How could a mere left-handed helicoid devil commit such a major crime in Shancha Town?"

Chu Tiankuo folded his arms and sneered, "This left-handed spiral demon used its threads to penetrate half of the townspeople, forcing them to kill each other. More than half of the tragic crimes in Shancha Town were committed by this demon."

"You are talking nonsense!"

Elder Fei had already gained the upper hand and was impatient to continue arguing with Chu Tiankuan.

The fact that he was assigned to do such an idle job does not mean he is a scheming or calculating person.

Therefore, confident of his victory, Elder Fei didn't even think twice and blurted out a rebuke:

"How could there be traces of the left-handed helical demon controlling the bodies of the Shancha people? You just made this up to clear your name!"

"oh?"

Chu Tiankuo took a step forward calmly and asked, "Why is it impossible for the people of Shancha Town to have any signs of being controlled by the Left-handed Helical Demon?"

He asked more forcefully, "Since the elder said so, I believe he had personally verified it in the past?"

Elder Fei choked and reluctantly explained:

"Although I haven't verified it, I can understand this logic at a glance - they were all killed by you, so there are only sword marks on their bodies. How can there be traces of being controlled by monsters?"

Chu Tiankuo pretended to be silent and said, "So that's how it is. I'm grateful for your advice."

For some reason, looking at Chu Tiankuo's calm appearance, Elder Fei suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Then, he heard Chu Tiankuang say:

"But the elders should know that although the memories of mortals can be easily tampered with, the soul will maintain the state at the time of death..."

"If the townspeople of Shancha Town were really killed by me, there should only be one sword mark on their bodies, right?"

Elder Fei: “!!!”

Wait, the Left-Handed Helicon Demon’s injury was too great, and he was so happy that he actually forgot about the Soul-Nourishing Pearl!

The next moment, Chu Tiankuan lightly patted the back of the peach blossom gold hairpin with his palm.

More than a dozen souls were squeezed out of the soul-nourishing bead in an instant.

Since sunlight can harm the soul, Chu Tiankuo only let those people show up briefly before putting them back into the soul-nourishing beads.

But everyone present was a cultivator.

This short moment was enough for everyone to see clearly that the heads of those souls collapsed and their flesh and blood were blurred, and it was obvious that they were besieged to death.

“…”

For a moment, Elder Fei was speechless.

Chu Tiankuo nodded slowly and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Elder. It seems that these people were not killed by Chu with his sword."

"——In this case, Chu's crime of 'letting evil run rampant and slaughtering innocent people' should be cleared up now."

Elder Fei: “…”

Elder Fei froze on the spot.

He wanted to insist that these people were not residents of Shancha Town at all.

The problem is that even lying has to abide by the Basic Law.

Elder Fei has already ascended to the position of elder of Hongtong Palace.

How could an ordinary mortal who had passed away eighty years ago have any chance to meet him? And how could he have left such a deep impression on Elder Fei that he could be recognized at a glance?

This is a lie you can only think about in your mind. If you really tell it, there will be too many flaws.

Elder Fei took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "It's now cleared up, I guess."

This Chu Tiankuo is extremely evil.

Elder Fei realized belatedly that he was complacent for a moment and was actually taken advantage of by the opponent, and he lost the commanding heights that he had originally gained.

In this way, Chu Tiankuo was cleared of the crime.

At this moment, he was just an ordinary disciple of Hansong Sect with a clean record, and he filed a complaint against Hongtong Palace.

After realizing this, Elder Fei was immediately filled with grief - damn, this kid is so cunning and shameless! He fooled me!

Chu Tiankuo smiled and added: "Then from now on, the elders should not call for a fight and kill me in the name of Shancha Town anymore, right?"

Elder Fei: “…”

Even though he had already thrown Chu Tiankuo into the pot in his heart and was frying him over and over again, Elder Fei could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

He said reluctantly: "You underestimate my magnanimity."

Chu Tiankuan burst out laughing.

Elder Fei: “…”

What, is this funny?

"It's okay, it's okay." Chu Tiankuo waved his hands and said sincerely, "I just thought of something funny."

Then, he reached out and picked up the left-handed spiral demon's shell:

"Then let's continue. After I discovered that the left-handed spiral demon manipulated the people to kill each other, how did Hongtong Palace cover up this matter..."

“Wait!”

Elder Fei suddenly stopped Chu Tiankuo from continuing.

At this moment, the look in his eyes when he looked at the peach blossom hairpin was somewhat like an ant in a pot looking at a life-saving straw.

"Mr. Chu, please don't lie. Do you dare to let the mortal in the hairpin come out and confront them, and ask them whether they were killed by the left-handed spiral demon?"

Chu Tiankuo was a little surprised: "Elder Fei, why do you want to hear a confession again? Didn't you just say it yourself? A mortal's confession is not trustworthy."

Elder Fei sneered, "Anyone can do something to a living mortal, so his confession is naturally unreliable. But the soul of a dead mortal is fragile and difficult to do anything to, so it's naturally different."

After saying this, Elder Fei could feel that the people around him were looking at him strangely.

He went back on his word and his face turned slightly hot.

He knew very well that this was completely a farce.

After all, if mortals were manipulated during their lifetime, then their memories after death would naturally be memories of being manipulated.

But this little logical problem is no longer an issue.

Elder Fei must first prove that the existence of the left-handed spiral demon is false, and then prove that Chu Tiankuo's words are false.

As for the love-devouring demon that actually caused the death of mortals...

Tsk, mortals are all full of surprises and get easily startled.

Since clay statues can be worshipped by them as idols, the dark clouds in the sky may also be mistaken for monsters by them during the battle...

In short, the existence of the Love Devourer is easy to explain. Let’s first prove that the Left-handed Helicon Demon is fake.

After hearing Elder Fei's decision, Chu Tiankuo nodded expressionlessly: "Since Elder Fei said so, then let's do as the elder says."

Because the scorching sun can burn the soul, ordinary people's confessions cannot be taken in broad daylight.

The elders from various sects and schools moved into the meeting hall of Guiyuan Sect.

All the disciples present were accompanied by disciples of Guiyuan Sect and were politely asked to return to their homes.

Among them, the disciples of Hongtong Palace were treated better, and each of them had three or four disciples of Guiyuan Sect following his death.

Obviously, until the truth is revealed, these disciples will be kept under house arrest to prevent them from leaking information.

…

As soon as he stepped into the meeting hall, Elder Fei couldn't wait and urged Chu Tiankuo to quickly release the soul in the hairpin for confrontation.

Since he asked so urgently, Chu Tiankuo would of course satisfy him.

Dozens of souls emerged from the peach blossom hairpin one after another, and under the circle of the soul-questioning curse, they gave the most truthful confessions.

When the same story is told dozens of times from different perspectives, the key points become particularly prominent.

The leaders and elders of each sect looked at each other.

Obviously, everyone has noticed that the monster described by these mortals is "a gray mist" rather than a "left-handed spiral monster."

But compared to the others who are indifferent and just watching the show, the one who is most impatient is none other than the person involved.

Elder Fei suddenly waved his sleeves, turned to the others, and immediately said:

"Everyone, it seems that the truth has been revealed. These mortals are ignorant and have mistaken the dark clouds for monsters. And Chu Tiankuo took out a left-handed conch monster to call a deer a horse, which is purely an act of covering one's ears and stealing the bell..."

He said decisively: "Chu Tiankuo, you have ruined the reputation of our Hongtong Palace. Even if I am broad-minded and can forgive you, the palace rules cannot forgive you - you surrender and come with us."

At one point, Elder Fei almost thought he had a sure win.

Even if the leader of Hansong Sect, Song, was present at the scene, he did not think that a mere sect from the Snow Region would dare to contend with the overwhelming power of Hongtong Palace.

But the next second, Elder Fei saw the smile on Chu Tiankuo's face.

It was that kind of insightful, somewhat sarcastic smile, as if it was a sharp blade that could blow at a person's face and peel off his skin and bones on the spot.

Chu Tiankuo said: "If Elder Fei really stands on the side of reason, why is he so anxious?"

He put the peach blossom gold hairpin back into his arms and confirmed:

"However, hearing what Elder Fei said, I think he must have acknowledged the confessions of these mortals. It is our consensus that there is a dark cloud-like monster under the jurisdiction of the palace, right?"

Elder Fei scolded without thinking: "Who agrees with you? Boy, don't play the same trick a second time."

He swore, "That dark cloud is obviously not a demon. At most, it is an obsession left in the human world. If ordinary people can't tell the difference, how can an immortal cultivator not tell the difference?"

Chu Tiankuo shook his head and said calmly: "I really can't tell the difference."

"you……"

Chu Tiankuo sighed and said, "Because I have seen that monster in Shancha Town and was captured by it."

He looked at Elder Fei meaningfully and said slowly:

"For nearly two months, I have been waiting for the help of Hongtong Palace, but she has been letting it go."

The insinuation in these words is too strong.

Elder Fei couldn't bear to hear this.

"Chu Tiankuo, here are the elders and clan leaders of various sects. Everyone has a distinguished status and their time is precious. They are not here to listen to your made-up stories."

"Oh?" Chu Tiankuo asked carefully, "Then how can we not make up a story?"

Elder Fei subconsciously said, "Catch a thief and take the stolen goods; catch an adulterer and take both of them. Since what the mortal said under the questioning curse is true, then you must produce supporting evidence to prove that you are telling the truth."

"For example, if you say that the gray mist is a monster, then you have to produce a monster in the form of gray mist. If you now produce a left-handed spiral demon, that's just a rumor!"

After saying this, Elder Fei pondered over his speech and felt that it was well-reasoned and of high standard.

...I don't know why, but as soon as he said this, he felt it was a little familiar, as if he had said it before.

--etc.

Elder Fei shuddered suddenly.

Had he said something very similar a quarter of an hour ago?

At that time, Chu Tiankuang's answer seemed to be...

"Okay." Chu Tiankuo nodded resignedly, and then gave an answer that sounded all the more familiar.

"Since Elder Fei has said so, I must bring this monster here - well, I have brought it here now."

Elder Fei: “???”

Huh? What did you say? You brought it again? Is this true?

For some reason, a faint sense of absurdity slowly rose from the bottom of Elder Fei's heart.

He subconsciously felt that he had encountered a kind of fraud similar to a ghost wall...

However, this time, Chu Tiankuo did not keep any secrets.

The next moment, without waiting for Elder Fei to react, Chu Tiankuo made a quick and decisive "pulling" motion.

Immediately, a strong demonic aura emerged out of nowhere amidst everyone's guarded eyes.

A gray mist was released by Chu Tiankuo.

Its color is not as rich as described by ordinary people, and it looks a bit thin and haggard.

And a "little tail" of gray mist, like the string of a kite, was firmly held in Chu Tiankuo's hand.

The moment Elder Fei saw the gray mist, his face turned pale.

"Wait, this is a love-eating demon, how can you catch it!"

As soon as he said this, Elder Fei realized that he had made a mistake.

Chu Tiankuo's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

His gaze was like cold wind and lightning, as if he had seen through Elder Fei in the blink of an eye.

Chu Tiankuo asked word by word: "Excuse me, why can't I capture this monster?"

Just when everyone in the room was concentrating and holding their breath, Ji Qinghong's voice seemed to float from the sky, carrying with it an extremely provocative smile.

Ji Qinghong smiled leisurely and said, "So this monster is called the Love Devourer. It's true that the Hongtong Palace has great magical powers. It can even dig out the secrets of extremely rare monsters with unknown abilities in the battle against demons."

He reminded meaningfully: "Isn't it possible that the Lord of Hongtong Palace has sworn brotherhood with the monster? Otherwise, how could he know so much about it?"

Elder Fei's face flushed instantly, and he glared at Ji Qinghong and said, "I just... took the name literally! I named it based on the nature of this monster!"

A dignified elder of Hongtong Palace could even say such words. It was obvious that he was forced into a desperate situation.

But Ji Qinghong had a bad interest. Not only did he push the man to the point of desperation, he also drove the dog into the water.

"Huh? Why is it named after the nature of the monster?"

Ji Qinghong pretended to be surprised: "I listened to the confessions of those mortals, and I only know that this monster likes to provoke others to fight and likes to commit murder. If you want me to name it, I will call it the Murderous Heart-Destroying Monster."

"I wonder how Elder Fei came up with the words 'Devil of Love'?"

Elder Fei was not sure whether this monster had killed people or not.

Anyway, he was killed and exterminated by Ji Qinghong.

With Ji Qinghong's timely assist, Chu Tiankuo took another step forward and asked coldly.

"Yes, in the confession of the mortal, there is not a single sentence related to 'emotional devouring'. Chu has not had the time to describe his own experience yet. Elder Fei, could it be that you have opened your third eye and can foresee the future?"

Ji Qinghong clapped his hands happily and said, "Oh, if Elder Fei has opened his third eye, why did you hide it from us? Do you think I'm an outsider? I'm really sad that you treat me like this."

"Come on, Elder Fei," Ji Qinghong suggested gently, "Use your Celestial Eyes to simulate... You are harboring monsters, raising monsters, and colluding with monsters. How is Hongtong Palace going to fool us about such a big thing?"

“…”

Elder Fei opened his mouth and then slowly closed it.

This man, who had always lived a life of luxury and had a smooth and sleek appearance, suddenly revealed an expression of speechless decadence and looked as if he had aged by several decades.

He gritted his teeth suddenly, veins popped out on his forehead, and his body moved as fast as a gust of wind, and he was about to rush out of the hall in the blink of an eye.

However, at the same time, a figure with long snow-white hair came up like a shadow.

The man put his arm around Elder Fei's shoulders in a very brotherly manner, strangled him by the neck, and threw him back to his seat.

Elder Fei spat out a mouthful of blood foam on the spot, while Ji Qinghong sighed with regret.

"You want to leave without even saying hello? That's really rude."

Ji Qinghong frowned and said, "Although I asked Elder Fei not to treat me as an outsider, you can't be so unremarkable - you are basically treating me as your own."

Everyone: “…”

What? What the hell are you talking about? Who dares to treat you as his wife?

It has been less than half an hour since the drama began.

However, the thrilling and tense mood is no easier than any sword fight.

At this point, the conclusion that Hongtong Palace was harboring monsters has been settled.

But there are more and deeper questions that need to be asked from Elder Fei.

And this is the responsibility of everyone present.

Seeing that everyone unanimously elected Guiyuan Sect Master to handle the matter, Guiyuan Sect Master coughed lightly and completely took over the responsibility.

The leader said sternly, "Elder Fei, what has Hongtong Palace been hiding all along? You must explain it to the world today."

…

Yan Luoyue only listened to the first half of Chu Tiankuo's speech.

Later, when everyone moved into the hall to collect confessions from mortals, Yan Luoyue's identity was not high enough and it was inconvenient for him to enter, so he pulled Wu Manshuang and Ling Shuanghun away.

Along the way, the three of them were not in a hurry to return to the peak, but walked left and right, looked around, and introduced the beautiful scenery of Guiyuan Sect to Ling Shuanghun.

Ling Shuanghun asked, "Xiaoyan, I appreciate your enthusiasm. But are you going in the opposite direction of Suyi Hall?"

Yan Luoyue laughed and said, "How is this possible?"

Ling Shuanghun reminded her: "Xiaoyan, you are sweating."

Yan Luoyue: “…”

After a moment of silence, Yan Luoyue admitted: "Okay, I don't want to go back to the peak yet..."

After not seeing each other for a while, Ji Qinghong's bad taste seemed to have increased again.

Could she go and stay with Senior Sister Chang Lili for three to five years to avoid the spotlight?

The answer is of course no.

Before dusk, Yan Luoyue was intercepted by Jiang Tingbai.

The eldest senior brother patted Yan Luoyue's shoulder and said softly, "Little Junior Sister, Master asked me to take you back to the peak."

Yan Luoyue: “…”

It seems that she can't escape.

After clearing his throat, Yan Luoyue walked back to the peak with his head held high.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Yan Luoyue deliberately looked at the boundary marker.

——Wow, the name of the peak, “Wujia Kegui Peak”, hasn’t been changed yet!

His eyes blurred, but Yan Luoyue continued walking forward, and soon arrived at the familiar lawn.

Before Yan Luoyue and the other two ran away, the lawn had already been almost completely destroyed by them.

But I don't know what method Ji Qinghong used to make the lawn grow fresh and green again, which looks very beautiful at first glance.

At this moment, Ji Qinghong was lying on the lawn, looking relaxed, and it was hard to tell whether he was in a good or bad mood.

I saw him slowly breaking off a handful of fresh grass, and his spiritual energy flowed all over it. Suddenly the fresh grass became cleaner than if it had been washed with water.

Ji Qinghong brought the handful of fresh grass to his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, looking very comfortable.

Yan Luoyue watched this scene intently.

If the situation wasn't so inappropriate, she might even want to take a photo.

Jiang Tingbai really had no idea what to do with this bold little sister, so he asked softly, "Little sister, what are you looking at?"

Yan Luoyue tugged at Jiang Tingbai's sleeve in surprise: "Look, Senior Brother, it's a three-petal mouth!"

Jiang Tingbai: "..."

Ji Qinghong smiled, but finally glanced at Yan Luoyue.

He asked slowly, "Before you left, you left me a note. I still remember the content of it. So, where is the fresh grass now?"

Yan Luoyue replied cheekily: "I went out and looked around, and there is no grass fresher than the one here at Master's place."

Ji Qinghong asked softly, "So, what about the little rabbit that loves to eat grass?"

Yan Luoyue pondered for a moment, then took the initiative to lift up his collar.

"Here?"

Ji Qinghong narrowed his eyes, slowly stood up, and said with a smile: "Very good, very good."

As Ji Qinghong stood up, Yan Luoyue ran away without hesitation.

Although as the saying goes, sticking your head out is a knife, and retracting your head is also a knife.

However, the little turtle's head can be retracted into its shell, so Yan Luoyue has no intention of getting stabbed!

On this day, Yan Luoyue was chased and jumped up and down, and performed a marathon around Wujiakegui Peak.

This story was recorded by the demon historian Ling Shuanghun in "The Legend of Yan Luoyue".

The name of the subtitle is - The Tortoise and the Hare Race.

…

The old case of Chu Tiankuo from eighty years ago was linked to the matter of Hongtong Palace communicating with the devil.

The accusation that Hongtong Palace released monsters into the air has now been firmly established.

However, Hongtong Palace would never admit to the three charges of "sheltering monsters, raising monsters, and colluding with monsters".

The crowd did not find any strong evidence from Elder Fei, so Hongtong Palace is still fiercely defending itself.

After all, Hongtong Palace is a huge building of considerable size, so the arguments concerning this matter will not be resolved in a short time.

Just as there is no dynasty that will decline due to a single event, there is no city that will collapse in one day.

It is obviously impossible to say that Hongtong Palace would collapse suddenly because of this incident.

However, this lack of control and leadership was undoubtedly an ominous sign of the collapse of rituals and music and the disintegration of Hongtong Palace.

Yan Luoyue did not pay close attention to the news of the fight over there.

Her recent energy has been focused on two things.

The first thing was that Yan Luoyue searched all over Youguilaixi Peak (yes, that’s right, Ji Qinghong changed the name of the peak on a whim the day after Yan Luoyue came back), but couldn’t find any trace of the Second Master’s Pen.

In the past, the Second Normal School Writers Association would go to the hot springs at a fixed time and place.

Yan Luoyue would occasionally put on her swimsuit and chat with Er Shibi in the golden hot spring.

But when Yan Luoyue returned to the peak this time, he did not find any trace of the Second Master's pen.

She asked Jiang Tingbai casually, and the senior brother was stunned for a moment, then asked her to ask Ji Qinghong.

This reaction is a bit abnormal.

Yan Luoyue was concerned and turned to ask her master, but Ji Qinghong gave her a casual answer, "Your second master has gone into seclusion with the Sect Leader. In three to five years, he will come out and play with you."

For some reason, the feeling of forgetting something came back to me.

It's like when you suddenly want to drink Coke in the middle of the night, and you're wondering whether to dig out the can you bought before but can't find at home, or to order takeout to make up for the loss.

After a long time without any clue, Yan Luoyue had no choice but to put the matter aside.

The second thing... was that the eldest senior brother went out on a short-term mission and took Wu Manshuang away with him.

Yan Luoyue originally wanted to go along, but Jiang Tingbai patted her shoulder gently.

"Brother, I have something to ask Brother Wu... I'll tell you when we come back."

Well, since Senior Brother Jiang said so.

During these days, Ling Shuanghun stayed indoors and was busy refining the draft of "Camellia Town".

Yan Luoyue studied the "physical training technique" for a while on her own, wrote down a few questions, and then took notes, preparing to ask Song Qingchi for advice.

As Yan Luoyue walked to Chunyanlaiju where Hansongmen was staying, she saw Chu Tiankuo's figure.

He was standing under the eaves with a pile of buckets full of water on his head and a look of helplessness on his face.

Yan Luoyue raised her eyebrows and soon appeared in front of Chu Tiankuo.

"Senior Brother Chu," Yan Luoyue glanced at him jokingly, "Senior Brother, are you busy?"

Chu Tiankuo rolled his eyes upwards, looked at the buckets stacked up above his head, and let out a long sigh.

Yan Luoyue suppressed her laughter and asked, "Why did Sect Master Song punish me?"

You know, ever since his three precious disciples - including his son - were found, the master of the Song Sect has been in high spirits, his face is rosy every day, and even his coughing has become less frequent.

These three children have all been through a lot, and Patriarch Song cherishes them more than his own eyes. If they had not committed a serious mistake, he would definitely not be willing to punish them.

Chu Tiankuo coughed lightly and said, "Junior Brother Song has finally let the cat out of the bag by refining me."

As if in response to his answer, a sound of something heavy falling to the ground was heard in the hall.

This was followed by a piercing roar:

"You evil boy! Even if you want to refine it, you can't choose your senior brother as the first experimental subject..."

"Besides, you should at least leave a kidney for your brother! You idiot, you didn't even leave a kidney for your brother! Not even one!"

Chu Tiankuo: “…”

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Yan Luoyue said with emotion: "I've heard that Sect Master Song is a great hero..."

Now it seems that he is indeed a hero.

A few minutes later, Song Qingchi came out without saying a word, carrying several full buckets of water, and stacked them on his head one by one.

The two brothers looked at each other and both smiled bitterly with tacit understanding.

Now is not a good time to ask questions, Yan Luoyue originally wanted to slip away.

Unexpectedly, Song Qingchi called Yan Luoyue gently, and even with a bucket of water on his head, he still answered her questions seriously and academically.

When answering the last question, Song Qingchi was a little hesitant.

He said, "I have an idea... Try replacing the "grasping shadows" array with the "nine nines return to one" array here."

Yan Luoyue lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked, "If this is the case, the effect will be reduced, right?"

"It will decrease." Song Qingchi pondered, "But in this case, it seems most likely to leave some kidneys for the person being refined..."

Yan Luoyue: “…”

After hearing this answer, let alone Yan Luoyue. Chu Tiankuo staggered on the spot, and the water in the bucket splashed out, wetting a piece of fabric on his shoulder.

"Thank you, Junior Brother." Chu Tiankuo gritted his teeth and said, "I will never forget your great faults and great virtues!"

…

On the other side, Wu Manshuang was taken by Jiang Tingbai to a sect mission.

This was just a normal guard mission, lasting two days and one night, during which they would need to stand guard once until the item was handed over to the next person on duty.

During the night of vigil, Jiang Tingbai lit a fire.

The two brothers sat at the entrance of the cave, surrounded by the fire, and chatted casually.

"If you want to cultivate your sentiments, you can learn Go from Master."

Jiang Tingbai remembered something, and a slightly shy smile gradually appeared on his lips: "Master should be willing to teach me if I have someone to play chess with."

At this time, Wu Manshuang didn't know Ji Qinghong's Go level yet, so she nodded with trust.

Jiang Tingbai coughed lightly, then realized his conscience and added, "In addition to Go, you can also learn the flute from me."

He is quite good at playing the bamboo flute and bamboo pipe.

As for why I am good at these two instruments...

Well, isn't it free to carve a bamboo flute? All you have to do is pick a suitable bamboo from the back mountain.

As Jiang Tingbai spoke, his fingers moved deftly, diligently weaving a thing of... something unknown.

Wu Man Shuang looked at it for a long time and thought that this thing might be a nine-tailed celestial fox... maybe.

As he spoke, Jiang Tingbai's voice became lower.

He seemed to be particularly tired today. After a short while, he leaned his head against the rock wall and fell asleep.

The straw weaving of unknown shape also fell to the ground.

The straw braid was like a loosened rubber band, and it suddenly fell apart.

Wu Manshuang was slightly startled. She did not wake Jiang Tingbai up, but took on the responsibility of keeping watch herself.

He quietly took out a small blanket from his storage bag and carefully covered Jiang Tingbai with it.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the straw weaving that had just come loose halfway through.

In the following period of time, Wu Man Shuang silently followed the fold marks on the straw stems and put the straw weave back into place one button at a time.

He had no basic knowledge of straw weaving, so the process was certainly a bit difficult.

But Wu Manshuang is patient enough and willing to slowly try and make mistakes, so she doesn't seem impatient.

Only after Jiang Tingbai's previous progress was restored did Wu Manshuang tie the grass knot tightly and put it back to its original place.

He moved his fingers noiselessly and looked toward the horizon, only to see the dawn light.

While doing this, Wu Manshuang didn't notice that Jiang Tingbai opened one eye, glanced at the back of his head, and then calmly pressed the half-woven straw into his palm.

A silent sigh flashed across Jiang Ting's eyes.

——Chu Tiankuo’s reminder was indeed good.

A person has only a fixed amount of energy. If you give more to others, you will have less for yourself.

Wu Manshuang's mind is deep and meticulous. No wonder Chu Tiankuo is worried that Junior Brother Wu is going to live in a shallow place.

If Jiang Tingbai and Yan Luoyue came to keep watch together, the junior sister would also cover him with a blanket and silently take on the responsibility of keeping watch.

But Yan Luoyue was not so concerned as to restore even such a small matter as weaving straw.

But Brother Wizard... he was like a person who was extremely hungry and finally went to the table, not wanting to waste even a grain of food.

Wu Manshuang couldn't bear to let down any kindness in the world.

When he woke up in the morning, Jiang Tingbai thanked his junior brother warmly and took him back to Youguilaixi Peak.

Wu Manshuang reminded him, "Big Brother, you need to take care of yourself."

"Yes, Junior Brother too." Jiang Tingbai narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Please help me call Luoyue over. I have something to tell her."

…

Jiang Tingbai had just started talking when Yan Luoyue understood what he was going to say next and agreed with him.

She sighed, "Man Shuang is indeed ruthless and will not hesitate to kill herself."

Even as a friend who is inseparable from Wu Manshuang, Yan Luoyue is sometimes shocked by Wu Manshuang's decisiveness.

Of course, she would never be afraid of Wu Man Shuang, but she couldn't help feeling a little angry.

——How could the little snake she loved the most not cherish itself like this?

In fact, Wu Manshuang's character is much more than this.

He was more than just "thin" as Jiang Tingbai described.

When we first met, the little snake even had a kind of chaotic yet kind-hearted madness.

At that time, Wu Man Shuang tacitly believed that everyone in the world was a good person, and he respected them all.

——But if you are not a good person, then you deserve to die.

Later, Yan Luoyue and Ling Shuanghun teamed up to cheat and deceive... Bah, and subtly turned Wu Manshuang's power over to her.

Yan Luoyue raised her head expectantly: "Brother, do you want to talk to Manshuang?"

Jiang Tingbai smiled slightly: "I want to hear your opinion first."

"Hmm?"

"No matter how much I say, it's still superficial." Jiang Tingbai explained, "And Junior Brother Wu... I'm afraid he will misunderstand that I, as his senior brother, am dissatisfied with his behavior."

After all, Wu Manshuang cherishes his current life very much and doesn't want anyone who he values ​​and who also values ​​him to be disappointed in him.

Yan Luoyue thought about it, and suddenly clapped her hands.

"How about we try a more relaxed approach?"

"What?"

Yan Luoyue smiled with her eyebrows curved, and was obviously full of confidence: "Manshuang is very smart, he can figure it out by himself - call Xiaoling and Senior Brother Chu, and let's play a game together before they leave!"

Jiang Tingbai was a little stunned: "What game?"

Yan Luoyue - alias Yan Bixin - weapon master - ordinary money-making genius - monster-killing card designer. She put one hand on her shoulder, stepped back, and saluted Jiang Tingbai gracefully.

"At the moment, I only have a rough idea. The general plan is to tailor a character card with the same name for each of the seven of us."

Yan Luoyue said excitedly: "Hey, Senior Brother, how about I name this game "The Peak Showdown between Two Generations of Trio and Two Generations of Brothers and Sisters"? "

Jiang Tingbai: "..."

Just the name made Jiang Tingbai look dazed.

Even with the three-hundred-foot filter he had used on Yan Luoyue, he still murmured, "...It seems, not that good."

——After so many years, just like he still hasn’t learned how to weave straw, has the little apprentice sister still not learned how to name a child???
