After not sleeping all night, Yinli could hardly open his eyes. Looking at the stone in front of him which was almost completely white, it still lacked a little bit.
Xie Jinxing was even more sleepy. Yinli's sleepiness was entirely due to his work and rest schedule. However, although he was cultivating immortals, his cultivation was far behind Yinli's. He was also injured after running around for days, so he was really sleepy. But even so, he looks much more energetic than Yinli at this moment.
He looked at the little girl who was forcing her eyes open, with deep attachment in her eyes.
Wang Chen came out of retreat early in the morning and immediately ran to Yinli's residence. As soon as he fell from the sky, he saw the corpse at the door. He was so scared that he rushed into the house, but saw two people sitting in the corner.
"Master, are you out of seclusion?"
Hearing Xie Jinxing's voice, Yin Li also raised his eyes slightly and said weakly: "Master, why are you here?"
"You are such a heartless person. Master came to you as soon as he finished refining the elixir, and even asked me why I came." Wang Chen scolded Yin Li for a few words, and then asked, "What's the matter with the corpse outside the door? It looks like a disciple from Jingyue Peak."
Yin Li didn't say anything. After saying hello, he closed his eyes and went back to sleep. With his master around, nothing would happen.
Xie Jinxing noticed her actions and narrowed his eyes slightly, but in an instant, he calmed down and explained the whole story to Wang Chen.
"What on earth is this demon cultivator planning? He has even managed to sneak into the sect."
"My disciple doesn't know."
Wang Chen didn't think about it any further: "I will tell the master about this later. Is that the gem you mentioned?" He indicated the gem in the spirit gathering array with his eyes.
"Yes."
Wang Chen stepped forward, input a little spiritual power, and immediately felt that this thing was extraordinary.
"It is indeed a treasure, but if it is a treasure, why would it be thrown away by the demon cultivators at will, and now they come to snatch it."
Xie Jinxing expressed his guess: "During the fight, the demon cultivator had the upper hand, so if the demon cultivator wanted to take the gem away, the master would definitely not find out. This means that the demon cultivator may not know about this gem."
"you mean?"
"I'm just guessing. Although this guess is a bit too bizarre, it is indeed the most likely one."
Wang Chen didn't say anything, he naturally knew what Xie Jinxing meant.
The demon cultivators don't know the function of the gem, but they still come to steal it. The most likely person to do this is Shu Muyun. After all, apart from Yin Li and Xie Jinxing, she is the only one who knows about this gem and wants to get it.
Another reason was that the timing was too coincidental. Yinli and his companions were robbed that very night just as they returned to the sect.
"If your guess is true, then it proves that she has been colluding with the demon cultivators for a long time."
Xie Jinxing bowed his hands and said, "This matter is of great importance. I suggest that the Grandmaster talk to the headmaster about it, but it cannot be spread to others, especially to Grandmaster Uncle Liuming. I think we should not tell him."
Wang Chen looked at him deeply when he heard that. For a moment, the room was quiet. Xie Jinxing didn't get an answer. He raised his eyes slightly and saw Wang Chen's slightly deep eyes. He bowed again: "My disciple has spoken out of turn."
Why does the master need to tell him what to do?
Xie Jinxing was somewhat accustomed to giving his suggestions to Yinli, so he unconsciously told Wangchen as well. In addition to this, it is also a reminder, fearing that Wang Chen would take into account the deep friendship between brothers and tell Liu Ming, which would alert the enemy and may cause danger to Yinli.
"You are thinking about your master." For someone like Wang Chen who has lived for hundreds of years, Xie Jinxing's skills would naturally not be hidden from his eyes.
"Master has been very kind to me."
Wang Chen said "oh" and his eyes became more and more deep: "Is that all?"
Meeting those eyes that seemed to see through everything, a hint of panic flashed across Xie Jinxing's eyes.
He didn't know that the things hidden in his innermost heart were actually seen by this master who usually looked disrespectful and cynical.
"What is the Grandmaster talking about?"
Wang Chen just smiled without saying anything. When he came in just now, he clearly saw the look in the eyes of his grand-disciple towards his beloved disciple. It was gentle and affectionate, yet concealed with a deep possession. How could this be the look a disciple should have towards his master?
He didn't say anything, but Xie Jinxing felt that the air around him seemed to have become thinner. The gaze of a powerful being in the Out-of-Body Stage was not something that a person like him in the Heartbeat Stage could resist.
"I admit that I do have feelings for my master." He gritted his teeth and hated his own weakness again.
Wang Chen glanced at him. Although the man lowered his eyes, he was still shocked by the strong aura of unwillingness. He said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't tell Yin Li anything, but I hope that before you are able to protect her, you won't let her know your feelings. Can you do this?"
"I can." That was what he had intended.
Wang Chen patted his slightly frail shoulders and said, "Although I didn't agree with Yin Li accepting you as her disciple at first, since she has accepted you, you are my disciple. I will protect you, so you don't have to be so wary of me."
"Thank you, Master."
His voice was a little softer, but Wang Chen could still tell that he did not trust him.
Wang Chen didn't say anything more. He took out a lot of pills and talismans from his storage ring and handed them to Xie Jinxing. He asked him to give them to Yinli before leaving.
Xie Jinxing looked at the empty house and breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned his head to look at the stone, which had turned completely white. With a thought, the stone was put into the storage ring.
The little girl on the floor had already lain down without him knowing when. Xie Jinxing sighed, then slowly walked to her side and slowly picked her up. The little girl moved slightly, and Xie Jinxing was so frightened that his whole body stiffened and he dared not move.
The little girl didn't wake up, she just sniffed, as if she knew it was him, then she found a comfortable position in his arms and nestled into him.
Looking at Yin Li like this, Xie Jinxing felt completely soft-hearted.
But the most important thing now is to practice and take revenge!
…
When Yin Li woke up, he went to Lingyun Palace with Xie Jinxing.
After Sect Leader Zi Yuan asked some questions about the demon cultivators, he also asked about the stone.
"Don't worry, since it was Junior Brother Yinli who found this treasure, he will naturally handle it."
After asking, the two left Lingyun Hall. They didn't think much about Zi Yuan asking about the stone, thinking that it was Wang Chen who said it. They didn't know that he already knew about this stone from Liu Ming's mouth last night.
Shu Muyun naturally couldn't directly express that she wanted the stone. Instead, she told Liu Ming that the stone was filled with evil spirits and might be detrimental to the sect, and hinted that Yin Li should confiscate the stone.
Shu Muyun has no chance of getting this stone. The reason he said this is naturally because he doesn't want Yinli to get it.
She didn't know why, but she didn't like this person from the first time she met her.
Yuding Peak.
Liuming thought about what the headmaster had said to him, and felt a little disappointed.
Although Xie Jinxing suggested that Wang Chen should not tell Liu Ming, the Sect Master still said it. He naturally did not understand the friendship between them as a master and a disciple. This matter was related to the magic cultivators, the sect and even the entire world. How could Liu Ming lose his sense of proportion for a disciple?
"Master."
Liu Ming raised his eyes and saw his young disciple Shu Muyun coming over and greeting him.
