Xi Xingxue shook his head and then nodded, as if there was such a thing, but it happened several years ago and he couldn't remember it very clearly.
He Yan continued, "At first I thought you gave me a square pear to deliberately provoke me, but what about the round apple? So I investigated it later."
Xi Xingxue asked, "Investigate what?"
He Yan: "Investigate the cultivation world to see if there is a person named Round Apple."
Xi Xingxue: "?" Oh my god...
My goodness, He Yan is incredibly smart!
He remembered, he remembered everything.
Back then, in order to fulfill the plot of killing her apprentice's fiancée, Xi Xingxue had to stage a play.
He pretended to kill Fang Li, but in reality, he just helped Fang Li move to a different place and even changed her name to Yuan Pingguo.
Later, he did indeed use this pun to hint at He Yan's intentions.
It must be mentioned that Fang Li is an orphan. She was able to get engaged to He Yan because her father died saving He Yan's father.
The destruction of the He family also led to Fang Li being hunted down. Xi Xingxue helped her fake her death to escape and even gave her a sum of spirit stones.
However, how could He Yan know that the person's surname was Yuan, not Yuan?
Xi Xingxue couldn't hold back any longer and, risking being struck by lightning, asked, "How...how did you know?"
Strangely, perhaps because of his high success rate in conquering the player, the system didn't penalize him for being out of character (OOC).
A smile appeared in He Yan's eyes: "Three days ago, I left the arena and went to the mortal world. I got this news from someone."
Xi Xingxue scratched her head, her thirst for knowledge outweighing everything else: "Then how did you happen to know about Yuan Pingguo?"
He Yan murmured, speaking his heartfelt words without restraint: "Since I discovered a few months ago that my master had become important to me, I became suspicious. So I went to the mortal realm to find some people to help me investigate. Three days ago, I got the result: Fang Li has become Yuan Pingguo."
Xi Xingxue finally understood what had happened. He nodded, then suddenly jumped up in surprise.
This interruption has likely caused quite some time to pass.
He looked up, glancing left and right, inwardly wondering: [Strange, the sect leader, with his impatient nature, hasn't even used a communication talisman to urge me yet.]
He Yan smiled, moved his fingers, and a transparent barrier lit up in the distance, shattering several communication talismans on the ground.
"Master has asked all the questions you needed to ask. Can you return with me now?"
Xi Xingxue shook his head. He couldn't ignore the other two; he was just playing the scumbag role.
And soon enough, the scumbag's punishment came.
Xi Xingxue, who had just fainted: "?" No, how could my master, who has a higher cultivation level, suddenly faint?!
It must be that God is giving the protagonist a special blessing again!
He Yan hugged the young man in white, affectionately nuzzling his chin against the top of his head, his eyes revealing not much apology, but a great deal of possessiveness.
"I'm sorry, Master, you always want to leave me to go find them, so I can only use a special method to keep you by my side a little longer."
He carried Xi Xingxue into the cave, and at the same time, the surrounding trees swayed again, exuding a mechanical and peaceful aura.
If Xi Xingxue could open her eyes at this moment, she would definitely see that something was wrong with this mountain; the entire mountain was controlled by a restrictive barrier.
The one who controls this mountain is He Yan.
Therefore, his spiritual power was suppressed, which is why he fainted without any defense.
......
Meanwhile, on the Taiqing Sect's side...
Wenren Ling, leading a group of people, watched helplessly as two figures in front of him transformed into tornadoes and disappeared from the spot. He immediately shouted.
"Hey, Xie Jiuchuan, Yin Yue, you two don't run so fast, Old Xi is definitely not dead yet."
Everyone glanced at him: Wait, is he saying this because he doesn't want his two family members anymore?
Xie Jiuchuan and Yin Yue, who were ahead, naturally heard the sect leader's shouts, but they were too eager to fly to the sky to listen to him.
Their master is in He Yan's hands, so he's sure to be safe. But it's precisely because their master is in He Yan's hands that they have to worry.
Those who shared the same feelings for their master knew better than anyone else what He Yan's thoughts were about him.
They spent three whole days together, and they were really afraid that if they went any later, their master would have already become He Yan's person.
He Yan is a smooth talker, sometimes even more so than Yin Yue. He's good at making people happy and he also has a skill that his master loves.
Therefore, the sense of crisis they felt was immense.
As for how they knew where to find their master?
It's because Wenren Ling possesses a magical artifact called the Manifestation Mirror, which can locate a person based on the objects they've touched.
The reason why they knew that Xi Xingxue and He Yan were together was because it was obvious even to a child.
Their seemingly arrogant but actually soft-hearted master has gone to find He Yan.
Yin Yue glanced at Xie Jiuchuan, who was also flying on a sword in the sky, touched the demonic mark on his chest, and smiled.
He has already sent that demon descendant, who considers himself king and whose name is Jun Da, to find his master.
Originally, he wanted to cut off the skin with the demonic markings, until he received help through this symbol.
Suddenly, he felt that being a demon wasn't so bad after all; he would definitely find his master first.
From now on, he will become stronger and stand by his master's side as soon as possible, no matter what means he uses.
......
After He Yan carried Xi Xingxue into the cave, he began packing his things.
Although he used the ancestor's magic artifact to enclose the mountain with a restriction, he could control all the plants and trees, and even the people, within the mountain to some extent.
