"Here." Ju Xiayue walked into the room and handed a loaf of bread and a box of milk to Long Leyang who was sitting in the corner of the sofa.

Long Leyang looked at Ju Xiayue with a complicated expression, then silently reached out to take the food from Ju Xiayue's hand.

Ju Xiayue sat on the other end of the sofa, propped up her head and looked at Long Leyang who was eating in small bites.

After a while, Ju Xiayue suddenly said, "What are you going to do next?"

"..." Long Leyang stopped eating, was silent for a few seconds, and said firmly, "I want to go back. I can't let my father's years of hard work be destroyed in my hands."

Long Leyang did not ask Ju Xiayue why she knew his identity, nor did he ask her why she saved him.

Anyway, the fact is that Ju Xiayue rescued him from the people sent by the demon world, and with his current appearance, he has nothing to gain. So Long Leyang directly expressed his thoughts now.

Even if Ju Xiayue wants something, he has to wait until Long Leyang returns to the demon world, right?

Ju Xiayue looked at Long Leyang curiously, who suddenly looked serious and had no idea what he was thinking. He suddenly had the urge to tease him.

Long Leyang is just seventeen years old. Although he is about the same age as Ju Xiayue, he is still just a child in the eyes of Ju Xiayue, whose soul is already who knows how old.

A cute boy with a little baby fat on his face suddenly showed a serious expression...

This made Ju Xiayue, an old man, feel a little pity for the younger generation.

But Ju Xiayue finally held back and did nothing. She coughed lightly, with her habitual bright smile on her face, and asked Long Leyang: "Then what? What about after returning to the demon world? What can you do alone?"

Ju Xiayue's words were quite impolite, but it was a fact. The demon world was in chaos now. If Long Leyang, a simple boy, went back like this, I'm afraid that even his bones would be eaten by the demons.

Although Ju Xiayue and the others had already planned to help Long Leyang go back, after all, compared to letting the monsters sent by the enemy take over, Long Leyang, the monster prince who is more friendly to humans, is better.

However, Ju Xiayue and the others cannot say this directly. After all, although Long Leyang is simple, he is not stupid. Ju Xiayue's rescue this time has made him very alert. If they help him again without expecting anything in return, he will definitely not agree, and will stay away from Ju Xiayue and the others.

"I... I certainly won't go back like this." Long Leyang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ju Xiayue and said, "I still have some monster guards."

Ju Xiayue looked at Long Leyang and motioned for Long Leyang to continue.

Long Leyang thought for a moment and continued, "I have some demon guards given to me by my father, and there are demons in the demon world who support me."

"Hmm..." Ju Xiayue touched her chin thoughtfully, and said casually, "Is that so... Then leave when you are ready."

"I..." Long Leyang hesitated and wanted to say something.

Seeing Long Leyang's look, Ju Xiayue smiled secretly in her heart. She knew what Long Leyang wanted to say, but she still asked knowingly, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"I..." Long Leyang bit his lip and said with a knotted face, "I want to ask you for help."

"Help?"

"Yes." Long Leyang nodded to Ju Xiayue.

After spending these few days together, Long Leyang also saw Ju Xiayue's strength. Although Ju Xiayue is about the same age as him, she is very capable in formation and is a powerful helper.

In order to have an extra guarantee when returning to the demon world this time, Long Leyang wants to ask Ju Xiayue for help.

As for whether Long Leyang is afraid that Ju Xiayue has bad intentions?

To be honest, Long Leyang is still a little afraid, but it is a little early to say this now. Long Leyang has nothing now and is not afraid at all. When he returns to the demon world and takes back power, he will not have to worry.

At that time, Long Leyang, who holds the power of the demon world, will not panic at all.

After hearing what Long Leyang said, Ju Xiayue couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Ju Xiayue couldn't ask for help, or the person being helped would feel uneasy. But it was just right for Long Leyang to ask.

Although she had already agreed to help Long Leyang in her heart, Ju Xiayue still had to struggle on the surface.

"Why should I help you? What benefit can I get?" Ju Xiayue asked directly.

Hearing Ju Xiayue's question, Long Leyang thought for a while, and then replied: "What do you want? I will repay you after I return to the demon world."

"Hmm..." Ju Xiayue pretended to think for a few seconds, then looked at Long Leyang, "I want..."

Although Ju Xiayue and the others originally planned to help Long Leyang return to the demon world, they would not refuse if they could get some benefits.

Just like that, Ju Xiayue and Long Leyang reached an agreement - Ju Xiayue helped Long Leyang to successfully return to the demon clan and take over the throne, and Long Leyang owed Ju Xiayue a favor. As long as it was within his ability, Long Leyang would help Ju Xiayue to achieve it once.

The second day of the Cultivation Conference.

This morning was the individual competition of the Cultivation Conference from 20 to 10, and in the afternoon was the team competition from 20 to 10.

Qi Huai was pulled up by Ning Yi and Gong Ming early in the morning. After all, as the referees, although they didn't have to take care of too many things before the finals, it was still not good to be late.

Despite Qi Huai's bad mood after getting up, Gong Ming and Ning Yi took Qi Huai to the competition venue of the Cultivation Conference.

"Ha~" Qi Huai yawned lazily while sitting in the referee's seat, "By the way, it's okay if we don't have to go to the current promotion match, right?"

"Uh..." Tang Shi, who was sitting behind Qi Huai and the other two, looked at Qi Huai with embarrassment.

Although Qi Huai was right, Qi Huai and the others didn't need to appear in the current promotion match, but many people who came to the competition and in the audience came for Qi Huai and the others.

If Qi Huai and the others didn't come, many people would definitely not come. In this case, the Cultivation Alliance would lose a lot of benefits. After all, the Cultivation Alliance made a lot of money in this Cultivation Conference.

"It's interesting to come and watch the competition." Gong Ming noticed Tang Shi's tangled expression, handed Qi Huai a cup of refreshing tea, and spoke lightly to help Tang Shi out.

"Hmph." Ning Yi snorted after hearing Gong Ming's words, then smiled at Qi Huai, "If you don't want to come, then don't come next time."

"This... Young Master Qi..." Hearing Ning Yi's words that showed he didn't care about the Cultivation Alliance, Tang Shi hurriedly looked at Qi Huai with a nervous face, fearing that Qi Huai would not come next time.

Qi Huai glanced helplessly at Ning Yi on the left, then turned to Tang Shi and said, "Don't worry, since I have already made an agreement with the Cultivation Alliance, I will not leave at will."

Tang Shi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Qi Huai's answer, then looked at Qi Huai with a smile on his face, "That's good, that's good."

As Qi Huai and others talked with Tang Shi, the top ten of the individual competition of the Cultivation Conference were slowly decided...

Qi Huai saw that the competition was over, raised his head slightly to take a look at the top ten, and saw the young man he noticed on the first day.

"It's him..." Gong Ming noticed that Qi Huai remembered his sight line, and looked over with him. He also saw the boy that Qi Huai paid more attention to in the first match of the individual competition. "It seems that he should be able to get good results in this cultivation conference."

"Hmm..." Qi Huai picked up the information about the boy, "Is he from the Gu family?"

"Yes, he is a direct descendant of the Gu family." Tang Shi paid attention to the information that Qi Huai and the others were looking at, so he spoke up to explain for Qi Huai.

As for the Gu family, Qi Huai should be most familiar with Gu Chi and Gu Xiang, the two siblings.

Gu Chi was Qi Huai's college classmate. They had a good relationship when they were in college and were considered good friends. As for Gu Xiang, Qi Huai and others first knew Gu Xiang because of Gu Chi. However, because Gu Xiang was always well-informed, they would sometimes ask her for help, and gradually they became familiar with each other.

After Qi Huai came out of seclusion, Qi Huai also sent people to collect information about Gu Xiang, Gu Chi and Shen Ran.

Qi Huai heard that Shen Ran and Gu Chi had begun to take over the family affairs, and Gu Xiang also met her true love five years ago and is now married.

When hearing the news that Gu Xiang was married, Qi Huai was actually quite emotional, feeling that things have changed and time has passed as quickly as water.

It feels like since Qi Huai came out of seclusion, he has had less and less contact with his old friends...

After a little sigh about the gradually decreasing contact with his friends, Qi Huai turned his attention back to the competition venue.

The top ten of the individual competition are now standing on the competition venue with high spirits, looking up at the spectators around them and Qi Huai, Ning Yi and Gong Ming on the referee's stand.

"It's your turn." Qi Huai looked at Ning Yi with a smile in his eyes.

Qi Huai and the others took turns to go on stage to give speeches and encouragement to the winners after the competition. Today it was Ning Yi's turn.

Ning Yi pursed his lips, then tightened his face and walked over with a serious look.

Ning Yi is a few years younger than Qi Huai and Gong Ming. Even though he is not young anymore, he still has a youthful vigor and vitality.

Unlike Qi Huai's gentleness and introversion, and Gong Ming's indifference, Ning Yi is full of the vigor and edge of a young person.

So in order to make himself look more stable, Ning Yi usually looks expressionless and serious in formal occasions.

...

After a while, Ning Yi's speech ended.

"It's over, let's go." Seeing that Ning Yi's speech was over, Qi Huai took Gong Ming and Ning Yi, nodded to the staff around them, and turned to leave.

After seeing Qi Huai and the other two leave, Tang Shi ordered his men to take care of the next things and then took Ji Meng and Mu Duan back to the Cultivation Alliance. As the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Cultivation Alliance, in addition to being in charge of the Cultivation Conference, he is also in charge of many things, especially the mysterious organization that suddenly appeared recently.

The Cultivation Alliance has been investigating this mysterious organization for several days, but there is still not much information, and now they don’t know what this organization wants to do.

This mysterious organization that suddenly appeared seems to be just wandering around the human world casually and not doing anything, but everyone in the Cultivation Alliance is not completely relieved.

After all, the current Cultivation Alliance has just experienced a purge, and lost a lot of people, and the leader of the Cultivation Alliance is still unconscious.

"Alas~" When thinking about the recent events, Tang Shi couldn't help but sigh.
