Everyone looked horrified when they heard this, especially Su Yishui and Xue Ranran, who both thought of the unrefined skull of the human demon king.

All along, there has been a mastermind controlling everything, silently leading them into the underworld and finding the remains of the human demon king.

Although the person who guided them did not seem to show much malice so far, the feeling of being played with in the palm of one's hand made people feel very uncomfortable!

Who is that person who keeps pretending to be Medicine Immortal, an unknown old man, and even the owner of an inn?

Su Yishui immediately said: "Let's set out tonight and leave the territory of Chiyan Mountain immediately!"

This place is too close to Wei Yan's territory, so it is not advisable to stay here for long. Moreover, the identity of the mastermind behind this is unknown, and he can transform into a different shape, so it is not easy to be discovered. Therefore, we must return to our own dojo as soon as possible to take precautions.

Of course, on the way back, they also heard some follow-up news about the Scarlet Flame Mountain.

After Wei Yan obtained the gold-tempering fire, he easily captured the elders of those sects.

It is said that Emperor Su Yu also sent people to issue an imperial edict to commend Wei Yan for having gone through untold hardships to obtain the gold-tempering fire for the sake of the people of the world, which was a great move to restore the reputation of Chimen.

Wei Yan had saved him before, so he continued the royal friendship. This time, the aliens sent by Su Yu were almost wiped out when they broke into the battle array. Now that monsters are constantly pouring out of the world, Su Yu urgently needs powerful people to help him put out fires everywhere, so naturally he has to flatter Wei Mo Zun.

Moreover, Su Yu has always been jealous of the reputation of those famous and upright sects, fearing that they would overthrow his world. If he could use this opportunity to elevate the Chimen, it would be a good opportunity to compete with the three major sects that have fallen into decline.

Now, Wei Yan has brought the Chimen out of the mountains and renamed the Gold Tempering Fire as the Chimen Holy Fire. He has been exorcising demons and destroying monsters along the way and has gained a great reputation.

Perhaps in a few days, Wei Yan will become the new generation of popular national teacher after the Empress Zhan Mu Qingge of that year.

As for Jiu Laoxian, he could not return to Cuiwei Mountain for the time being, so he went back to Xishan with them.

When he was almost sober, he finally made his point clear. Although the soul-cleansing talisman could not be touched by a spirit talisman, if the person who was touched by the talisman fell deeply in love with the person he had forgotten again, the effect of the spirit talisman would be automatically eliminated.

At this point, Jiu Laoxian tried his best to explain: "This deep love means being together through life and death, and being able to die for each other. Next time Ran Ran encounters any danger, you can use your chest to block the sword for her. If she is lucky enough not to die, your memory will be fully restored!"

When he said this, Su Yishui's face turned cold. He couldn't even accept the possibility that he had loved Mu Qingge, so how could he fall deeply in love with her again? And he was willing to die for her?

It's really ridiculous!

Xue Ranran also smiled bitterly when he heard it.

She felt that Su Yishui might really be deeply in love with Mu Qingge in his previous life. This love that was enough to sacrifice half of his cultivation was unquestionable.

But she is not Mu Qingge, but a fruit that fell from the Reincarnation Tree, and both the skin and the flesh are Xue Ranran.

Because of the memory of life and death, Su Yishui may have really fallen in love with Xue Ranran in order to comfort his heart.

That's why he indulged himself after being influenced by the spiritual spring. As sweet as that memory was at the time, it was as bitter as it was now.

Now that Su Yishui lacks the unforgettable memory of Mu Qingge, then Xue Ranran is nothing to him.

She couldn't even go and question the unfaithful man whether he had ever loved her, like the foolish lady in the book.

The man who now remembers nothing is telling her the depth of his love without any concealment. There is no more ambiguity or uneasiness in guessing the thickness of his love. His straightforwardness is too straightforward to face.

After listening to Jiu Laoxian's words, Ran Ran found a quiet hillside by himself, quietly looked at the bright moon above the trees, and dispelled his worries.

After a while, someone sat down next to her, and the man said coldly, "You have also heard the method. If you really want me to remember, then take the initiative yourself and do everything you did to seduce me."

After hearing the assignment from her former beloved disciple, Xishan's former master couldn't hold back her melancholy any longer. She turned her head in surprise and asked softly, "You...are you implying that I seduced you?"

Su Yishui didn't think he was exaggerating, and just said with a frown, "Isn't it? In your previous life, you always liked handsome young men, and you could win their hearts with just a few words. Although I'm not a weak-minded person, I don't know if you used some extraordinary means to confuse the young and ignorant me at that time. In this case, just do it this time."

Ranran half opened her mouth and thought carefully, but her memory was all about her master using his outstanding masculine looks to seduce the young and ignorant her!

In her opinion, there was indeed a fox spirit, but unfortunately it was a male fox!

So she said bluntly: "Master, I swear on my soul that I have never seduced you! And you said that the soul-cleansing talisman is not a big deal for you, otherwise... we are confused?"

When Su Yishui came here this time, he felt that he had made a great concession. But he never expected that this little witch would not appreciate it, and her words seemed to hint that she was the one he was obsessed with?

Now he no longer minds the evil relationship he had with Mu Qingge, but he never expected that the evil woman would deny it and even hinted that it was he who was clinging to Mu Qingge and yearning for her!

Could it be that he was the one who took the initiative to pursue Mu Qingge? Su Yishui was angry. No one with a brain could come up with such a ridiculous thing!

"Xue Ranran, don't push your luck! Do you think it's prestigious to spend time trying to gain an advantage in this matter?"

Having said that, the deep relationship between master and disciple can be put aside for the time being.

Xue Ranran rolled up her sleeves and prepared to analyze the matter with Su Yishui: "No... let's not talk about the present, let's just talk about Mu Qingge in the previous life. Master, you should have heard from Second Uncle that Emperor Su Yu spent a fortune to make you smile and built such a gorgeous house in the West Hill. And the Demon Lord Wei Yan was also trying to show his goodwill. Master, you didn't have any advantages at that time except that you were good-looking! Although I don't remember my previous life, I can imagine the grand scene of being surrounded by young men... If you didn't work hard at that time, you probably wouldn't have been able to get a place..."

When she spoke the last part, Ranran lowered her voice automatically under the man's sharp eyes.

"Why? You charmed so many men in your past life. Are you proud?"

Ran Ran was speechless: "I... I was talking about my past life, it has nothing to do with me now... Even if I get married, I have to wait for my mother to arrange a marriage for me..."

Because of the question of who seduced whom, the two people's conversation under the moon ended in a bad mood.

For the rest of the days, the two of them were in silence and ignored each other.

Even Jiu Laoxian could see that the two were being awkward, so he chuckled and said, "You see, the soul-cleansing talisman is also a touchstone talisman. No matter how deep the love is, it is only temporary. If you forget it easily and just part ways, that's fine too!"

After hearing what he said, Su Yishui glanced at the old man, then hooked his long finger and poured the wine that Ran Ran had brought for the Jiu Laoxian under the roots of the tree.

This made the Drunken Immortal jump up and down, and he scolded Su Yishui for being a good-for-nothing!

They had a fierce fight in Chiyan Mountain, and everyone was actually a little exhausted. When they left the territory of Chiyan Sect, Su Yishui ordered Yuchen and his men to buy a carriage to take Yue Sheng.

Ranran also asked them to change their clothes and shoes and take them to the stream to wash them.

While washing clothes, Qiu Xier saw Ranran staring at the shoes in her hands in a daze, as if she was distracted, so she couldn't help but poke her, and then signaled to Ranran with her eyes that her master was watching her on the other side of the stream.

Come to think of it, the two of them haven't spoken to each other for several days, and Su Yishui's face is getting more and more stinky, which frightens his uncle and fellow disciples so much that they dare not breathe.

But Ranran, who used to be sweet-talking and good at coaxing people, seemed to have been bewitched by Zhuyou this time, and she refused to try to please the master.

If things continue to be so awkward, Xishan might really end up staging a tragedy in which a murderer is used to preach the gospel.

Perhaps he felt that he had gone too far in the past few days, so he slowly put down his shoes, then jumped across the stream lightly and came in front of Su Yishui.

Qiu Xier couldn't help but look up at the two people with subtle auras, and felt worried for Ran Ran.

However, the two men did not say anything, but just moved their throats slightly for a while, and then went to the nearby grove one after another.

Qiu Xier saw their throats move slightly and guessed that the two were talking in secret, so others could not hear what they were saying.

She sighed, "What should I do? My junior sister has suddenly become our master who was possessed by a demon. Will my master bully his master?"

Gao Cang, who was rubbing the pork fat pancake for her, felt that Xier was talking like a tongue twister, so he said innocently, "Junior sister is so cute, how can Master have the heart to scold her?"

After a while, Su Yishui and Ranran came out of the woods.

Perhaps because the misunderstanding was cleared up, the deadlock between the two seemed to have improved from that day on.

Finally, after two days, Yue Sheng regained consciousness and asked Shen Kuang and Qiu Xier to fetch some clean water from the stream.

Then, while changing the bandages for Yue Sheng, she asked casually, "After we went up to Scarlet Flame Mountain, Junior Brother Shen Kuang stayed by your side and watched over you every step of the way, didn't he?"

Yue Sheng thought hard and said, "My wound was very painful at the time. Shen Kuang said he had some tranquilizer pills. I took them and fell asleep. When I woke up, Master and you guys had returned... My life is completely wasted... You really shouldn't have saved me and let me die!

Ran Ran glanced at him and said, "If you were really someone who was ready to die, you wouldn't have left us alone when you faced the Five Evils Formation and would have been so eager to follow that sinister old Feng. Since entering the formation is a gamble, you must be willing to accept defeat. It's already a blessing from God that you can come out alive. How can you give up on yourself and blame us for saving you?"

If the arrogant Yue Sheng had heard this, he would have jumped up and down in dissatisfaction, but now he felt ashamed.

If I had trusted my master and followed them into the most dangerous North Gate, would I have ended up like this? Thinking of this, the young man looked at his broken arm and burst into tears again, whispering: "Senior sister, now that I am disfigured and disabled, you... won't like me anymore?"

Well... Ran Ran shook his head helplessly: "Even if you weren't disfigured, I wouldn't like you. When I get back, I'll ask Uncle Fourteen to make you an exquisite prosthesis, and then see if it can replace the basic daily use. The original purpose of cultivation is to ascend to heaven and abandon the physical body. If it is a skin that is going to be discarded, why do you care about whether it is new or old, good or bad? As long as a person is alive and has a breath of upward energy, he can always live like a human being! If you see Uncle Fourteen with disabled hands, you will know that it doesn't matter if a person is disabled, but if the heart is disabled, then there is no cure!"

Ran Ran always spoke softly but with a firm tone. When Yue Sheng heard her words, this depressed young man felt much more at ease and calm.

When they set out on the next day, he even got up from his paralyzed position in the carriage and tried to lead the horses and carry things for Qiu Xier and the others with one hand.

In fact, Yutong was always nervous along the way, and she and her brother kept looking at Xue Ranran unconsciously.

Looking at it so carefully, I actually felt like I had just woken up from a dream, and I doubted whether I was blind.

Although Xue Ranran's appearance seemed to have changed greatly compared to her previous life, her eyes were exactly the same.

Moreover, the calm and composed Xiao Jin'er is exactly the same, and his eloquence in persuading people is completely inherited.

Especially the way he was lazing around, lying on a big rock and eating snacks! It was Mu Qingge himself!

Yutong doesn't talk much to Ranran now, not because he is ignoring her on purpose, but because he doesn't know what to say.

Only those involved in the situation know this subtlety. Ranran feels that she really should not go back to Xishan.

So after the group returned to Xishan, during a break in their studies, Ranran tactfully told Su Yishui about her thoughts. If he agreed, she wanted to go back and spend the last time with her parents.

They had no children of their own, only herself as an adopted child, so she wanted to spend more time with them.

Su Yishui felt unhappy when he heard her farewell which sounded like a will.

He didn't even look at the little girl standing beside the desk. He sorted the bookshelf while saying, "Since you are Mu Qingge, I naturally can't accept you as my apprentice. From now on, you will be expelled from Xishan."

Ranran originally wanted to resign and cherish this last period of time, but she didn't expect that Su Yishui would be so merciless and expel her from Xishan!

That is to say, Su Yishui had been accepting disciples for such a long time, but the first one to give up was actually her, Xue Ranran!

After hearing this, Ran Ran quickly glanced at Su Yishui and said, "My time is short. What's the use of using the name of Xishan? You must remove me..."

Su Yishui used a feather duster to heavily shake off the dust on the bookshelf and said coldly, "Since you are so indifferent to life and death, why do you care about Xishan's false reputation?"

Ran Ran felt that what Su Yishui said was right. People who were going to die sooner or later really didn't need to care about the notoriety of being a traitor to Xishan... Strictly speaking, she was the only master in the world who was driven out of the mountain by her former disciples.

She sighed softly, turned around and wanted to go back to pack her luggage, but Su Yishui turned around and asked, "Where are you going?"

Ran Ran said in a muffled voice: "I am no longer Xishan's disciple. How can I continue to eat your rice? I will pack my bags and leave now."

Su Yishui sat back in his chair: "Where are you going?"

Ran Ran looked out the window and said, "Of course I'm going back to see my parents. The glutinous rice in the south of the Yangtze River tastes the best at this time. It's delicious when used to make steamed cakes. I want to find a boat and sail along the South River. I can go shopping during the day and sleep on the boat at night..."

She was very thoughtful. Just thinking about eating and shopping along the way was wonderful.

It was because she encouraged Yue Sheng to cheer up that day, but why was she so decadent when it came to her turn, and only wanted to die?

He didn't say anything else, just told her to leave in a cold voice.

The sound of their quarrel spread beyond the study, causing the disciples in the martial arts training ground to look at each other and glance in this direction frequently.

Ran Ran raised her head and glanced at the man with a frosty face... After this farewell, they would probably never see each other again.

It's not that she's seeking death, but her body is like a bottomless pit and will really drag him down.

Now someone is hiding behind the scenes and plotting something. If Su Yishui is not fully prepared, he will be dragged down by her.

So Ran Ran felt that leaving was the best option. It seemed that he had understood this point now, and after knowing that she was Mu Qingge, he must have been disgusted with her.

Blast her out here, instead of taking back the Jindan, which can be regarded as fulfilling the relationship between master and disciple in two lifetimes...

Now that she had figured out that this was the best option, Xue Ranran put away her things without hesitation.

But when she returned to the yard, she found that the reincarnation tree in the yard had been dug up.

After asking Qiu Xier, I found out that it was my master who asked the grandmaster to dig it up. As for where it was transplanted, Qiu Xier didn't know either.

If there wasn't this tree, Ranran would have been even more devastated.

But the tree belonged to Su Yishui, and if he didn't want to give it to her, she couldn't take it. Fortunately, there were two tree roots in her room, which she could soak in water with, and should be able to support herself to go back to see her parents...

So, after packing his luggage, Ranran left a farewell letter to his fellow brothers and sisters and went down the mountain.

When she was going down the mountain, Su Yishui announced a closed-door retreat, and a spiritual shield was set up on the top of the mountain. Even Yu Tong could not get close, so she did not have to bid farewell to her master.

Ran Ran didn't want to get into the parting of life and death, so he quietly went down the mountain alone.

But when she walked out of the gate of West Mountain, someone behind her called out, "Senior Sister, please stay!"

Ran Ran looked back and saw that her junior fellow apprentice Shen Kuo had come down the mountain with her at some point in time: "Senior sister, why are you leaving with your luggage?"

Ran Ran smiled slightly: "Didn't Second Uncle convey Master's order to expel me from Xishan during dinner yesterday? I am no longer a disciple of Xishan, so I have to go back to find my parents."

Shen Kuang said with a sad look on his face, "I heard from Third Senior Sister about the grudge between you and Master, but Master may have just said it in anger, he didn't say he would chase you down the mountain. Your Qi is not stable now, what if you go down the mountain alone and encounter danger? No, if you must go, you have to be escorted by me, I will never let you go alone."

Ran Ran looked at Shen Kuang's white and pure face full of sincerity. She thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "If you insist, then let's go together. It just so happens that I want Uncle Zeng Yi to make a prosthesis for Junior Brother Yue Sheng, and you can bring it back when the time comes."

After the former senior sister and fellow disciple had reached an agreement on this, Shen Kuang did not even go back to the mountain, but followed Ran Ran directly.

In his words, his light body technique has reached a high level, and even if he goes back and forth, it won't take too long. Now that his master is in seclusion and no one is watching them, he can just escort his sister home.

They walked briskly along the way. Ranran couldn't easily waste her inner energy, so Shen Kuang hired a carriage to take her down the mountain.

Ran Ran was sitting in the carriage, with nothing to do, so she chatted with Shen Kuang: "Did you grow up on Chiyan Mountain when you were a child?"

Shen Kuang shook his head. He was the descendant of the old leader of the Chimen. He was not born when the old leader was killed by Wei Yan, so naturally he had never stayed on the Chiyan Mountain.

Ran Ran hummed for a while, and suddenly spoke again: "Since you have never been to Chiyan Mountain and are not familiar with the terrain there, how can you go back and forth between the mountain and the foot of the mountain in less than half an hour?"

Shen Kuang was stunned by the question and asked in confusion: "Fourth Senior Sister, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Ran Ran looked at him and said, "Remember that I took your clothes and shoes to the stream to wash them? I found something interesting. The soles of the shoes of Senior Brother and his friends were stained with the red clay unique to the top of Chiyan Mountain, and it took a lot of effort to wash them. However, Junior Brother Yue Sheng did not go up the mountain, so his shoes were easy to wash. But you... you have been taking care of Junior Brother Yue at the foot of the mountain, but there is red clay on your shoes, Junior Brother, can you tell me what happened?"

Shen Kuang was stunned. He said with shame on his face, "Senior sister, I was wrong. I really didn't take good care of my junior brother. My junior brother fell asleep at that time. I was bored and worried about you guys. I left Yue Sheng to go up the mountain to investigate, but I got lost and came back down. I know it's wrong to leave my junior brother alone. I won't dare to do it again."

Ran Ran shook his head: "You are not bored, but you are scheming, so you gave Yue Sheng a sleeping pill, deliberately changed the time, and went up the Red Flame Mountain. I asked Yue Sheng, he fell asleep at noon, which was when my master and I accidentally entered the crevice of the stone. What on earth did you want to do when you secretly went up the mountain at that time? And you also secretly let go of the pot of golden water with additives, right?"

Shen Kuang laughed softly. He was usually shy, but now his eyes and brows were filled with evil in his smile.

"Fourth Senior Sister, you are wasting your talent if you don't become an official who judges cases. You have thought so much about a careless shoe sole. Yes, I did go up the mountain secretly. After all, welcoming the skeleton of the Demon King is a big deal. It takes some effort to take it away under the eyes of the people in Scarlet Flame Mountain. As for the golden water...if you hadn't been so nosy, the great cause would have been accomplished by now. Why should I waste my time talking to you here?"

Ran Ran had already stood up straight by now, and looked at him warily and asked, "Who are you?"
