After the chief steward brought Gu Qingxi in, he left.
Gu Qingxi walked forward and saw a figure standing in front of the bookshelf with his hands behind his back, flipping through books.
"Your Majesty." Gu Qingxi spoke softly and then saluted.
The Demon King slowly turned around, looked at Gu Qingxi, and smiled, "No need to be polite. Tianchen's little apprentice, Gu Qingxi, right?"
"Yes." Gu Qingxi was not surprised that the Demon King knew her name. The Demon King must have investigated it, and the Demon King and the master should have a deep friendship.
However, why didn't the master tell them to pay homage to the Demon King after arriving in the demon world, or bring a message or a gift to the Demon King before they set off?
Gu Qingxi found out the reason not long after. After she found out, she felt complicated and it was hard to describe.
"Sit down, the tea is on the table, pour it yourself." The Demon King put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf, then slowly walked over and sat down.
"Your Majesty, is there something you want me to do?" Gu Qingxi asked.
The demon king smiled slightly: "Why, can't I come to you to talk if I have nothing
to do?" "Of course." Gu Qingxi also smiled.
"How has your master been these years?" the demon king asked.
"Very well, but I made him worry a lot." Gu Qingxi said embarrassedly.
She had burned the bamboo forest that her master loved. When her master learned that she had fallen into the demon world, he must have been very worried. For her, her master even took the eldest brother to the demon world to meet him.
"I don't think that's worrying, but rather he is happy with it." Because, you are very good. There is another sentence that the demon king did not say. The demon king laughed as he spoke, and seeing that Gu Qingxi did not pour tea, he personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Qingxi and pushed it in front of Gu Qingxi.
Gu Qingxi thought of her master's care and love for her, and a smile appeared on her face, saying: "Master is really good to me. My master is the best master in the world." After that, she thanked the demon king for the tea, and then picked up the tea and took a sip.
"Yes, your master is not only the best master in the world, but also the best friend in the world. But your master despises me. After helping me to quell the rebellion, he just left and said that you should not look for him if you have nothing to do." The demon king said with a smile.
What the demon king did not say was that Mo Tianchen also said that if there was anything, he could ask someone to tell him a message and he would come back to help him. But the demon king never did this because he knew what kind of life Mo Tianchen wanted to live.
There was no need to tell the girl in front of him.
He looked at Gu Qingxi with appreciation and relief: "Your master is very good, and you are also very good."
The demon king was impressed by Gu Qingxi's willingness to break the rules of the game to save Lu Shu, and he also had a very high evaluation of Gu Qingxi in his heart.
Facing such straightforward praise, Gu Qingxi smiled and said generously: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."
"Did you hide the talisman on Lu Shu before he went on stage?" The demon king asked.
"Yes." Gu Qingxi nodded. Using the fifth-grade talisman technique across the barrier actually put a lot of pressure on her body, and she now had a dull pain in her chest.
"Why did you think of hiding the spirit talisman? You knew from the beginning that Lu Shu was no match for that person, and you knew that person would kill him?" The demon king asked the question in his heart.
Gu Qingxi put down the teacup, his face solemn: "Your Majesty, I just happened to report this to you. That person, Leng Yanli, is Lu Shu's opponent. I suspect he is an evil cultivator."
The demon king heard this and his face condensed: "Do you have any evidence?" Evil cultivators are not trivial. If it is true, measures should be taken immediately.
Gu Qingxi shook his head: "I don't have any."
The demon king was stunned. He didn't expect Gu Qingxi to say this.
"I really don't have any evidence. All this is just my suspicion. Before I came to the demon world, my friend was ambushed by evil cultivators and was poisoned. The little cat demon who stayed in Mo Wangfu was also poisoned. The number of people participating in the competition today has greatly decreased. I suspect it is also related to evil cultivators." Gu Qingxi said his own inference.
The demon king's face became more and more solemn. The number of contestants today dropped sharply, and he also felt that there was a big problem, but the reason has not been investigated so far.
If what Gu Qingxi said is true, then it will be troublesome.
The Ten Thousand Demons Festival has just begun, and there will be various activities after the Ten Thousand Demons Competition.
If the evil cultivators take the opportunity to cause trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.
"If Leng Yanli is really an evil cultivator, what does he want to do by sneaking into the demon world? Participate in the competition, get rewards, and want the Qingling Sword?" Gu Qingxi frowned and guessed.
But the demon king chuckled at this time and said, "Actually, that is not the Qingling Sword."
Gu Qingxi was stunned.
After the demon king finished speaking, he took out a wooden box from his storage space, put it on the table, and opened it for Gu Qingxi to see.
After the wooden box was opened, Gu Qingxi saw a sword lying in the wooden box.
"Good sword." Gu Qingxi couldn't help but exclaimed.
The sword body was bright and shining with cold light. It was also filled with a spiritual charm.
This is indeed a divine weapon.
Although it is a divine weapon, Gu Qingxi did not feel that this divine weapon has its own mind.
"There is a seal in the box, which seals the sword and its mind." The demon king explained.
Gu Qingxi was a little confused.
The demon king explained again: "This sword has a strange and fierce nature, so I want to find a destined master for it, maybe he can suppress its fierceness."
At this time, the ancestor of Wanling suddenly said: "This is not the Qingling Sword!" His tone was extremely firm.
The demon king had said that this was not the Qingling Sword, so Gu Qingxi was not surprised.
But why was the ancestor of Wanling so sure?
Gu Qingxi asked his own question.
The ancestor of Wanling said with certainty: "I just know that this is not the Qingling Sword." But for what reason, he couldn't tell.
Gu Qingxi looked at the sword sealed in the box and said: "So, this competition also has the purpose of finding a suitable master for this sword?"
"Yes." The demon king nodded, "I hope the winner can make this magic sword recognize the master and suppress its fierceness. The winner gets the artifact, which makes him stronger and also enhances the strength of the demon race."
Gu Qingxi understood that if he could really get the first place, his strength would be extraordinary. It is indeed possible to make this divine weapon recognize its master.
"Is Leng Yanli here just for the artifact?" Gu Qingxi guessed.
"No one knows. But according to your inference, he does have problems. I will have someone check him out. If there is a problem, I will not let him continue to participate in the competition, I will just have someone take him down." The demon king's eyes were a little cold.
Gu Qingxi heard the demon king's decision and nodded secretly in her heart.
Knowing that the other party had problems and still letting him participate in the competition to win, that was too heartless.
He should have used thundering means like the demon king.
