She coughed lightly, pointed outside the tent, and said calmly, "Master, in the eyes of the brothers, you still need to maintain your image, so... do you understand what I mean now?"
Junze raised his head from her arms, looked at her dimly, and then suddenly covered her lips with force.
After a moment, he licked his lips and let go of her, saying, "Wait for me tonight... and crawl into the tent."
He spoke the last few words very quietly, and Chen Yao burst out laughing.
"Well, I'll wait for you." She said with a smile.
…
Outside the tent.
The twelve disciples did not leave. They all looked at Chen Yao's closed tent with inquiring eyes.
Yin Lang asked doubtfully, "Tell me, what secrets do Master and Junior Sister have that we don't know about? They are always so mysterious and unpredictable."
Fifth Brother Xu Pei: "Yeah, when Master took us out before, was he ever so attentive? He even asked if Junior Sister needed anything. It's really a bit strange."
Eighth Senior Brother Jiang Qi: "After all, Junior Sister is a girl, unlike us rough old men, so... it's normal for Master to take good care of her."
Senior Brother Yin Lang narrowed his eyes and said, "No, it's very wrong. I always feel like there's something strange, but I can't put my finger on it."
Third Senior Brother Zhang Mu: "How about we quietly ask Junior Junior Sister about this later to see what's going on?"
Senior Brother Yin Lang: "Okay, when I have a chance later, I'll ask Junior Sister."
Just as he finished saying this, Junze happened to lift the curtain of Chen Yao's tent and walked out, and heard it.
He raised his eyes to look at Yin Lang and asked calmly, "What do you want to ask your junior sister?"
Yin Lang waved his hands quickly and said with a wry smile, "Nothing, I don't have anything to ask."
Junze nodded lightly and then went into his tent.
Leaving behind were twelve disciples looking at each other in bewilderment.
Eighth Senior Brother Jiang Qi touched his chin and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that we really have misunderstood?"
Senior Brother Yin Lang: "It's very possible. Let's keep our mouths shut and stop making random guesses and nonsense, so as not to cause trouble to Master and Junior Sister."
…
afternoon.
Junze brought a group of disciples to meet up with the people from Xuanjian Sect who were stationed in Qinghe Village. Later, they would meet with the village chief of Qinghe Village to understand the specific situation.
Qu Jing was also in the team. As soon as he saw Jun Ze, he took the initiative to walk over and greeted him, "You're here."
When I saw Chen Yao beside Jun Ze, I was amazed again.
Come to think of it, he hasn't seen Chen Yao for quite some time. Who would have thought that she now looks even more charming and seductive, exuding full charm and allure from her whole body. At first glance, she looks... happy.
It seems that Junze has been living a very comfortable life recently. Qu Jing looked at him meaningfully.
Junze gave him a puzzled look, asking "What?"
Qu Jing just silently gave him a thumbs up without saying anything. Once this guy gets excited, he understands things faster than anyone else and eats better than anyone else.
Back then, when he had a Taoist partner, he had advised Junze to find one as well. After all, the path of cultivation was long, and having a companion would help relieve loneliness.
But Junze refused without hesitation, saying: "I won't consider anything related to a Taoist partner. It's fine to be alone. I prefer to be alone."
Recalling the past, Qu Jing couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement. In one's life, nothing can be predicted.
Look at his and Junze's current situation, it's as if they were switched.
He broke up with his Taoist partner and they never contacted each other again. They would never get back together. And for him now, a life of cultivation alone was quite comfortable.
Now Junze is in love with his Taoist partner, they are so sweet and passionate. Whenever they glance at each other, their eyes are as if they are drawn together. There is no trace of his previous pure and unselfish look.
Qu Jing raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, no wonder when Chen Yao first came to Xuanjian Sect, he wanted to accept her as his disciple, but was later stopped by Jun Ze.
Tsk, now that I think about it, he really had ulterior motives. He had hidden it so deeply so early on?
Junze's heart is truly unfathomable.
Forget it, don’t think about these things anymore. Qu Jing calmed down and talked to Junze about the strange places in Qinghe Village.
"On the way here, I noticed that almost every household had their doors tightly shut, and there was no sound coming from them. At first glance, I thought no one was home."
"But looking at those yards, many have clothes drying on them, and smoke is coming out of the chimneys, which means someone is living there."
"If that's the case, then why are they keeping their doors closed in broad daylight?"
"Also, we didn't see any children playing outside on the road. It was completely different from the village life we had seen before."
"However, if they say that too many people died in the village and they were afraid of evil spirits, that's why they stayed indoors, then that's understandable."
"It's just that they always give me a very strange sense of calmness, as if... everyone knows who the real murderer is, but they are keeping silent."
…
After everyone arrived, the village chief of Qinghe Village also appeared in front of everyone.
His face was old and haggard, his figure was thin, his back was a little hunched, and he looked a little listless.
But what was strange was that his expression looked very normal, neither sad nor scared, but instead a little... like a sense of relief.
