Zhong Changyuan picked up the tray and carried the cooked porridge.
Pei Tianming and Gao Feng retreated repeatedly to make way for Zhong Changyuan.
Zhong Changyuan nodded to the two of them, then picked up the tray and left.
Pei Tianming pointed at Zhong Changyuan's back and asked, "Didn't he say that Zhizhi was resting? Who is he serving the porridge to?"
Gao Feng couldn't help but speak the truth, "Probably, he doesn't want Pei Zhi to see us."
Upon hearing this, Pei Tianming immediately flew into a rage. "What does he mean? Does he mean I'll never be able to see my daughter again?"
Gao Fengzhu stopped talking, and Pei Tianming at most grumbled in front of him.
Just now, in front of Zhong Changyuan, Pei Tianming didn't dare to say a word.
The two hurriedly returned to the main hall, where Pei Tianming received many letters from the sect leader.
Everyone's asking, how did Sikong Ren and Zhong Changyuan suddenly start fighting?
Has some conflict occurred between the cultivation world and the demon world?
The commotion caused by Zhong Changyuan and Sikong Ren was too great. Pei Tianming even activated the mountain-protecting formation. It would be difficult for other sects not to know about it.
Gao Feng was also a bit troubled: "How should we reply to these letters?"
Could it be that Zhong Changyuan harbored ill intentions towards his disciple?
So, he attacked Pei Zhi's fiancé?
No, no, you absolutely can't say that.
The reason why Tianyuan Sect is the number one sect in the cultivation world is not only due to the accumulation of generations of Tianyuan Sect, but also because of Zhong Changyuan.
To smear Zhong Changyuan's reputation is to smear the Tianyuan Sect.
Moreover, Pei Zhi is Pei Tianming's daughter.
If word gets out, many people will probably think that Pei Tianming failed to raise his daughter properly.
Pei Tianming said, "Just say that the two of them were just sparring and lost their temper for a moment. It's nothing serious."
Gao Feng nodded. "I just don't know if anything will come out from the demon realm."
To avoid them having their excuses contradicted by the demon realm.
"I think Sikong Ren is seriously injured. He probably won't be able to do anything for a while."
Master Gao understood what Sect Leader Pei meant: maintaining Zhong Changyuan's reputation was the most important thing.
Gao Shijie paced anxiously outside the door, finally seeing his father come out.
"Father, how is Pei Zhi? Is she hurt?"
Gao Feng glanced at his good-for-nothing son and sighed, "You'd better go see Pei Zhi less often in the future."
Gao Shijie was suddenly taken aback. "Has something happened to Pei Zhi?"
"What are you thinking? She's fine," Gao Feng muttered. Zhong Changyuan put down his sword and went to cook for Pei Zhi.
If this isn't good enough, how much better can it be?
"Then why can't I go see her?"
Gao Feng looked around, then grabbed Gao Shijie's arm and whispered, "Tell me, have you noticed that Zhong Changyuan seems to have some feelings for Pei Zhi..."
Gao Feng pondered how he should ask the question.
Gao Shijie asked cautiously, "You know?"
Gao Feng raised an eyebrow: "You knew all along?"
Gao Shijie kept all these things to himself, and it was incredibly painful for him.
Now that he can share it with someone, even though that person is his father, Gao Shijie can't hold it in any longer.
"I just noticed that Uncle Zhong is being a little too nice to Pei Zhi."
Gao Shijie also had a master, but his master was never as considerate as him.
Gao Feng hurriedly asked, "How is this going too far?"
“He taught Pei Zhi swordsmanship step by step, and even hugged her around the waist. It didn’t look like sword practice, it looked like…flirting.”
Anyway, Gao Shijie didn't see anyone in their Sword Sect practicing swordsmanship like that.
"After Pei Zhi finished eating, he personally took a handkerchief and wiped her mouth."
Upon hearing this, Gao Feng's facial expression became somewhat distorted.
They had already guessed some things.
But when you think of Zhong Changyuan's otherworldly face, and the fact that he would do these things... it's hard not to be surprised.
"Oh, and he even cooks for Pei Zhi himself."
“I saw it, your father.” Gao Fengzhu still shudders when he recalls the scene of Zhong Changyuan cooking porridge in the kitchen.
Gao Fengzhu reached out and tapped Gao Shijie on the head. "So you found out, but you didn't tell me?"
Gao Shijie covered his head, feeling a little aggrieved. "I don't know how to say it. What if there's a misunderstanding?"
"If you think I'm spreading rumors about Uncle Zhong, you'd beat me to death, wouldn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Master Gaofeng agreed that there was some truth to it.
If Gao Shijie suddenly came over and told him that there was something going on between Zhong Changyuan and Pei Zhi...
Master Gao Feng must think that Gao Shijie's cultivation has damaged his brain, so he will give Gao Shijie a good beating to prevent him from spreading rumors.
But now that Gao Feng has seen it with his own eyes, he can no longer deny it.
"Dad, what should we do now?"
Gao Feng put his hands behind his back and asked, "What do you mean, 'what to do'?"
"As for Uncle Zhong and Pei Zhi, how does the sect plan to handle their matter?"
Master Gao scoffed, "Since when has it become the sect's business to deal with Zhong Changyuan's affairs?"
Gao Shijie didn't understand. "What do you mean?"
Gao Feng patted Gao Shijie on the shoulder, "Just pretend you don't know anything about this. No one will go around spreading rumors."
Zhong Changyuan is the face of Tianyuan Sect. If Zhong Changyuan is smeared, Tianyuan Sect will also be smeared.
Therefore, they will keep what Zhong Changyuan and Pei Zhi have in common a secret, and no one will go out and spread rumors.
Gao Shijie wanted to say something, but Gao Fengzhu didn't have time to pay attention to him.
Meanwhile, in the demon realm, the two guardians were using their internal energy to heal Sikong Ren.
"Your Excellency, are you feeling better?"
Sikong Ren nodded weakly, but a heart-wrenching pain ripped through his chest.
The Left Protector hesitated, then asked, "Your Excellency, your demon core..."
"I know." Sikong Ren knew that his demon core had been shattered.
The Right Protector said angrily, "Why would Zhong Changyuan be so ruthless to you? Did he ambush you?"
Sikong Ren forced himself to sit up and said frankly, "No, he defeated me fair and square. I am no match for him now."
Upon hearing this, the Left Protector immediately said, "Your cultivation was absorbed by the ancient tree, that's why..."
Sikong Ren waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say more.
"A defeat is a defeat."
Sikong Ren is a powerful demon. Although his demon core was shattered, he can still live well, but he will no longer be able to cultivate.
Without the demon core, healing is not as effective as before.
The Right Protector was somewhat agitated. "Your Excellency, you have suffered such severe injuries... The ancient tree still wants to absorb your cultivation, and you have lost your demon core. What are we going to do?"
The ancient tree didn't care whether Sikong Ren was injured or not.
This is something Sikong Ren cannot avoid; no matter where Sikong Ren is, the ancient tree can absorb his cultivation.
Sikong Ren's eyes were empty, and he inexplicably thought of the secret technique Wan Kui had given him.
Sikong Ren knew that Wan Kui had no good intentions and that he had no intention of using it.
Sikong Ren left behind the secret method with the intention of preparing for unforeseen circumstances.
But now, he seems to be forced into a corner, with no other options left.
