Ayao was utterly shocked as she looked at Feng Chu. He was still alive and well, and Lou Munan hadn't even harmed him, instead turning him into a puppet and taking him away. She was truly astonished. Even at such close range, she couldn't sense any demonic energy on him, as if nothing had been done to his body.
Upon hearing the phrases "three years ago, the Chianan Grand Gathering," Feng Chu became even more puzzled: "The Chianan Grand Gathering? What nonsense are you spouting? I didn't know any Lou Munan at the Chianan Grand Gathering."
“His name back then was Xu Fengzhi,” Ayao said.
After A Yao finished speaking, Feng Chu's pupils suddenly contracted: "Xu Fengzhi?"
"Back in the Burial Dragon Mountain Secret Realm, you met Xu Fengzhi. Didn't you notice how different he was from the Xu Fengzhi at the Jianan Grand Gathering?" Ayao said.
Feng Chu's eyes flickered a few times. In fact, he had noticed it, but he wasn't familiar with Xu Fengzhi, and under Lou Munan's influence, he quickly forgot about these anomalies. Now that A Yao had brought them up, the difference was indeed quite significant.
"Was the Xu Fengzhi I met a fake? His real name is Lou Munan?" Feng Chu asked.
"At that time, Xu Fengzhi was already being controlled. The one who controlled him and possessed him was the culprit who caused the collapse of the Burial Dragon Mountain Secret Realm, a demon who had been sealed for countless years, Lou Munan." When Lou Munan was mentioned, hatred and killing intent appeared in A Yao's eyes.
Feng Chu felt like his brain had turned to mush. Xu Fengzhi wasn't Xu Fengzhi? He was possessed? And the possessing creature was a demon named Lou Munan? He had been sealed in the Burial Dragon Mountain Secret Realm for who knows how many years? Why would a demon be kind to him?
"What you're saying has confused me," Feng Chu said.
“I just want you to recall what he said to you back then? What did you do with him?” Ayao said.
After hearing these words, the young man in white remained silent for a moment, then said:
"You want to kill him?"
"No, I just want to find him." Ayao lied. She sensed the protectiveness towards Lou Munan in Feng Chu's words, and Ayao took it as Feng Chu being bewitched by Lou Munan. She wasn't surprised by Feng Chu's reaction, so she lied.
“Lies,” the boy said firmly.
Ayao: "..."
The white-robed youth, holding the Light Thunder Beast, looked at A Yao and said, "I don't know what grudge you have against him, but he has never harmed me, and Xu Fengzhi is not my friend, so I have nothing to say."
“You can make a request,” Ayao said.
"I'm not doing business with you."
After Feng Chu finished speaking, he carried the Light Thunder Beast and transformed into a long rainbow, flying towards the sky. A Yao exclaimed "Hey!" and immediately transformed into a long rainbow as well, following after him.

Lu Family, Kunshan.
The spirit-replenishing elixir that Xu Lianxin gave Lu Yunli caused him pain for seven whole days, but it still failed to repair his spiritual root. Lu Yunli became even more desperate because of this, and he locked himself in his room, not even wanting to see his mother, Xu Lianxin.
After learning about this, Lu Yunshen came to Chilian Peak to visit him.
Because of A Yao's matter, he almost broke off relations with Lu Yunli, but no matter what, this was his own brother, and he couldn't bear to see his brother become like this.
Arriving outside Lu Yunli's room, he used his divine sense to check inside and saw Lu Yunli leaning against a pillar, slumped on the ground. He didn't go in or knock on the door, but sat down on the steps outside and said, "Brother, I've come to see you."
“I know you don’t want to see me, but…”
Before he could finish speaking, the door opened.
Lu Yunshen stood up in surprise, and Lu Yunli, whose long hair was disheveled, suddenly grabbed his hand: "Third brother, third brother, Xiaoqi can definitely help me repair my spiritual root, right? Back then, so many people were helpless against Nangong Qi's poison, but she solved it. She can definitely help me."
“I know she hates me, but we’re siblings! Third brother, I know you’re close to her, you’re the closest to her in the whole family. Third brother, take me there, take me to find Xiao Qi, please take me to find Xiao Qi?”
Lu Yunli looked at Lu Yunshen with bloodshot eyes, her eyes full of pleading.
Lu Yunshen couldn't resist his gaze and nodded.
He led Lu Yunli and flew towards A Yao's Purple Extreme Peak.
The protective array of Purple Peak was not activated today. A Yao was at a stone table next to a waterside pavilion, reading a storybook she had obtained from Xu Fengzhi. Although this cultivation novel written by a mortal was full of loopholes and the plot was rather mediocre, Xu Fengzhi's annotations were quite amusing.
"Killing one's wife to prove one's Dao, the act of a beastly coward," "A Golden Core cultivator dares to call himself 'this one,' how arrogant," "Thirty years of Foundation Establishment and he calls himself a genius? This genius is too degrading," "He's tens of thousands of years old, why is he still so shy all the time?" "If you don't nip the problem in the bud, you demonic cultivator are no good," "At this time, we should say: Ants, stop making noise!"
"Are there really fairies that beautiful?" "My future Daoist partner must be an absolute beauty."
Ayao took the storybook and asked Wei Linglong about it. She said that it was a storybook that Xu Feng often read when he was twelve or thirteen years old. He was obsessed with reading these kinds of things when he was twelve or thirteen.
On the table in front of Ayao were snacks and tea, with several beautiful puppet maids standing beside her. These puppet maids wore colorful clothes and had long flowing ribbons; they were all gifts from Xu Fengzhi.
As Ayao sipped her tea and flipped through the book, she couldn't help but laugh out loud at Xu Fengzhi's annotations. She could even imagine the adorable scene of a handsome twelve or thirteen-year-old boy reading the storybook while sketching and drawing with a brush.
Looking at the sentence he wrote, "My future Daoist partner must be an absolute beauty," A Yao thought to herself: He's only twelve or thirteen years old, and he's already thinking about getting married. He's really not serious.
Recalling Xu Fengzhi's pale amber eyes, and the way he gazed at her with such adoration, the corners of her lips couldn't help but curve upwards slightly. She softly murmured, "Pervert..."
Suddenly, her smile vanished, and she looked up at the distant sky.
A long rainbow flew towards them, and after landing, it transformed into two men.
It was Lu Yunli and Lu Yunshen.
As soon as Lu Yunli saw A Yao, he quickly walked up to her and knelt down: "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, please help me, please help your big brother, okay?"
He looked at Ayao with a pleading expression.
Seeing him kneel down, A Yao closed the storybook, and Lu Yun Shen showed shock.
"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, I know I've done many wrong things in the past. I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, please forgive me, okay? Xiao Qi!"
Seeing Lu Yunli reach for her clothes, A Yao darted to the side, and Lu Yunli's hand missed. A Yao looked at him coldly, without saying a word.
Ayao didn't believe that Lu Yunli was truly remorseful. He only realized his mistake because he had become a useless person and had become clinging to her as a lifeline. He knelt down not to ask for her forgiveness, but to ask her to help him.
