Xie Jiuchuan said in a low voice, "I knew it... Master wouldn't admit it, but there's always tomorrow."
Seeing his two senior brothers achieve their master's first step ahead, Yin Yue had no interest in the prospect of a long road ahead. He was agitated, his eyes constantly reddening.
"Master, it's fine if you don't choose for now, but you have to treat us fairly."
Xi Xingxue slowly raised her eyes, "How can it be fair?"
The fairest way would be to take all three of them into his fold, but Xi Xingxue knew that the moment he uttered those words, he would be locked in a dark room.
Yin Yue chuckled softly: "Naturally, I'll do what they've done before."
Xi Xingxue was stunned.
So, when Yin Yue mentioned sharing love earlier, was he referring to sharing this love?
Dual cultivation.
No, this little apprentice... is too much.
How could Xie Jiuchuan, who was standing to the side, allow that?
He Yan alone has already made him secretly prepare hostile plans, and now Yin Yue is coming too?
He will not allow it to happen again.
"impossible."
He refused Yin Yue's offer.
Yin Yue gave him a cold glance. Knowing that his master liked soft things, he looked at him with pitiful eyes, while his arrogant possessiveness was hidden in his heart, letting it flow freely, and no one else could see it.
Xi Xingxue rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
He is an honest man.
He admitted that the practice of dual cultivation was quite beneficial to him, and as a modern person, it was perfectly normal for it to be consensual.
but.
He couldn't possibly agree to this in front of his eldest apprentice.
That's blatantly shady.
They loved him, but he loved more than just them.
Having too many potential partners means a scumbag is bound to fail.
Just as Xi Xingxue was wondering how to answer Yin Yue, a glowing communication talisman suddenly appeared to save the day.
It is Wenren Ling.
Xi Xingxue coughed quickly and said seriously, "Something important has come up. We'll talk about the rest later."
In the transmission talisman, Sect Master Wenren Ling's tone was genuinely serious: "Old Xi, are you free? Hurry up and come to Liuguang City to create a barrier together for the Ghost Festival."
I still remember that stack of communication talismans.
Wenren Ling said that on the fifteenth of the seventh lunar month, the Ghost Festival, the gates of hell will open, and hundreds of ghosts will roam the night, bringing disasters to the human world. Cultivators must step forward to protect mortals.
Today, Wenren Ling led a large group of people out in a grand procession, not just to find Xi Xingxue.
It was for the Ghost Festival.
Yin Yue and Xie Jiuchuan, who were present, also heard Wenren Ling's words.
With national and family affairs taking precedence, personal feelings must be set aside.
Besides, what their master cares about, they should care about as well.
"Then let's go together, Master."
Yin Yue said.
He reverted to his usual obedient self, no longer insisting on Xi Xingxue's answer, his docile demeanor heartbreaking.
Xi Xingxue couldn't help but reach out and pat his head.
When her palm touched the boy's fluffy head, everyone present, including Xi Xingxue herself, was stunned. Even the wind blowing into the cave seemed to stand still.
Xi Xingxue: Would the original owner touch Yin Yue's head? Oh no, this character setting has completely collapsed, am I about to be struck by lightning?
The lightning strike was delayed, and he was caught in a dilemma: whether to withdraw his hand or continue touching it.
Yin Yue looked delighted and nuzzled his palm like a puppy.
Although I was very confused as to why I could no longer hear my master's voice.
But it seems that the Master who has now set aside his indifference and whose demeanor is lively and endearing is already the real Master.
He was very happy with this kind of master.
Xi Xingxue coughed lightly and withdrew her hand. "Hmph, I don't like people with bugs in their hair. I'll brush them away for you."
He also tried to salvage his image.
Little did he know that Yin Yue was so overjoyed that the little figure in his heart was dancing, and he wished he could devour him immediately.
He smiled and said, "Thank you, Master. Please help me as much as you can."
Xie Jiuchuan reminded him from the side, "Time waits for no one, we can go now, Master."
In private, Xie Jiuchuan could be at war with Yin Yue.
But in front of Xi Xingxue, it was not appropriate to use weapons to speak, and his words were not as eloquent as Yin Yue's.
His long silence gave Yin Yue many opportunities.
Why wasn't he panicked? Because Xie Jiuchuan harbored a subtle sense of superiority.
He always felt that he was the most important person to his master.
Because He Yan most likely coerced his master, while his master took the initiative to treat him, even offering to cure the snake venom without considering using antidote pills.
......
The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, which occurs only once every hundred years, is no small matter.
Thousands of years ago, the demon race was wiped out, and some of their souls transformed into vengeful ghosts.
Fortunately, although the vengeful ghost is powerful, it can only appear once every hundred years.
On that day, all the yin energy in the world gathers, and even the underworld cannot contain it, so the ghosts and monsters will wander to the human world.
At this time, the six major sects of the cultivation world would set up barriers to resist the invasion of demons and evil spirits.
However, barriers are not omnipotent, and besides, they require far too much spiritual energy to be output.
Therefore, the only thing that can be done is to stop the powerful evil spirits; the other lesser ghosts and generals will still sneak into the human world and play around as they please.
That scene is called the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
Upon hearing the news, Xi Xingxue, who rushed to the scene, felt somewhat depressed.
It turns out that an important scene involving Yin Yue is about to unfold.
On this day, those in the cultivation world are destined to make a mistake, causing the vengeful demons to reappear in the mortal realm.
And Yin Yue will be recognized as their king again.
Xi Xingxue couldn't stop this.
In the original storyline, Yin Yue had already left the sect at this point, and he even gained some assistance on the day of the Hundred Ghosts Parade.
And in a few hundred years, he will return to the human world.
With no hope of redemption, Yin Yue's corruption level reached a solid 100. He directly declared war on the cultivation world, and the human world instantly descended into misery.
At that time, Xie Jiuchuan and He Yan also became top experts.
Only Xi Xingxue, whose hypocritical facade was exposed by his disciples a century ago, became a disgrace to the cultivation world, developed inner demons, and could no longer cultivate.
Then, he was crippled by Xie Jiuchuan's revenge, and nearly killed by He Yan's revenge, before finally falling into Yin Yue's hands and dying a miserable death.
In the end, Yin Yue, Xie Jiuchuan, and He Yan, representing the Demon Clan, the Monster Clan, and the Human Clan respectively, waged an epic war.
Then, all three of them died, and everything on the continent—the demon race, the monster race, the immortal realm—ceased to exist, leaving only a few mortals alive.
Later, as time passed and things changed, cultivating immortality became nothing more than a legend in the eyes of ordinary people.
