A group of people entered the private room.

When the food was served, everyone drank and ate, but no one spoke.

It can be seen that Xing Yifu had a very uncomfortable meal.

When we were in prison, everyone would bicker while eating, or complain about Jiang Bei’s poor cooking... or simply improvise to verify Jiang Bei’s recent learning achievements.

It will never be a dull moment.

But here...except for the few words said by the Xuanwu Guardian when ordering the food, the rest has been silent for a full half an hour.

And even if Xing Yifu wanted to ask, or bring up some topics with Jiang Bei... after all, it was the Xuanwu Guardian who suddenly wanted Jiang Bei to come over for dinner, so what did he have to explain?

As a result, now you don’t say a word... Isn’t this just making a fuss?

However, this thought was dispelled again and again with Gu Shiya's silence.

Although Xing Yifu is a little slow, he is not stupid.

It can be seen...after hearing what the Xuanwu Guardian said, Gu Shiya's mood became much lower.

I am just waiting for the Xuanwu Guardian to speak first and explain...

But what exactly is it? ! Who can tell him?

Finally, Xing Yifu couldn't help himself. He drank half of the white wine in his glass and asked, "Brother Xuanwu, what happened... Isn't it just a cardinal? Isn't it difficult for you and Xiaoya to solve it together?"

Hearing this, the Xuanwu Guardian seemed to realize that he had delayed for a long time and smiled apologetically.

"That's not the case. Sister Suzaku and I don't care about a mere Western monkey." The Xuanwu Guardian said with a wry smile.

"Then this..." Xing Yifu was even more confused.

"Before talking about these things, there is one more thing. I wonder if Brother Xuanwu has heard about it." Gu Shiya also interrupted at this time.

So much so that... Xing Yifu felt even more uncomfortable, but he really didn't dare to interrupt this time.

"What?" The Xuanwu Guardian was puzzled.

"Brother Xuanwu is from a secluded family, right?" Gu Shiya asked again.

The Xuanwu Guardian nodded slightly, and couldn't help but sighed: "But I left the family a long time ago and accepted the identity of the Four Guardians. In addition to accepting this noble identity, I have to give up my worldly feelings."

"Then do you know... five years ago, someone from the Taoist sect entered the secular world?" Gu Shiya suddenly asked.

"What?!"

Hearing the sound, the Xuanwu Guardian stood up suddenly, his eyes widened!

Then, the Suzaku Guardian recounted in detail what had happened to Mu Yi, including, of course, the role of the stolen Tianxing Grass.

"This... disciples of Taoism, can't leave Taoism and enter the secular world? Then I..." Xing Yifu was a little confused and couldn't help but ask a question.

Gu Shiya gave him a complicated look and said, "Mr. Xing, think about it, where did you go when you left the Taoist sect?"

“…”

This question really confused Xing Yifu.

That was all more than ten years ago... Ever since Gu Shiya left the Taoist sect and he heard the news, he didn't want to stay in the Taoist sect for even a minute.

Lost its meaning!

Of course, in addition to this, there were some troubles in the sect that made him want to leave. Before leaving, he even used a mountain protection formation to tell his fortune.

There was no way... I could only attribute it to my poor fortune-telling skills. In the end, I didn't figure out his own marriage, but instead figured out the fate of a crappy disciple? Where did he get a disciple at that time?

As for what happens next?

Being hunted by his fellow disciples, he escaped from the sect and went to see Gu Shiya for divination. He also managed to arrange an engagement between his disciple, whom he had never met, and the twin disciples that Gu Shiya had just accepted!

"You also resolutely left the Taoist sect at the beginning..." Gu Shiya explained.

"The purpose of the Four Guardians is to protect the foundation of China, the Four Spiritual Veins... but what we really want to protect is the Dao Sect within it. Fortunately, the Dao Sect and the secular world have been living in peace over the years."

The Xuanwu Guardian at the side also spoke in a deep voice at this time: "Five years ago... I did have something to do and left once."

Five years ago, the war in the North officially broke out!

The Xuanwu Guardian went there once... neither side would allow any "supernatural" power to intervene.

"But I went to the North that day and came back that day..." The Black Tortoise Guardian frowned, "Besides, how did that person escape the layers of surveillance and enter the secular world without making a sound?"

It is easy to enter the Taoist sect, but if you want to leave the Taoist sect... it is extremely difficult!

"Jiang Bei is a man of great luck. The thief who got the Heavenly Star Grass was able to develop spiritual roots with this natural treasure, which is also the case."

"Only one of them can stay." Gu Shiya said in a deep voice.

Xing Yifu knew all these...but he didn't understand why the purpose of the four guardians' existence was to "guard" the Taoist sect?

Why didn't he know about this?!

"Now that you have left the Taoist sect, it's okay to tell you about this..." Gu Shiya said helplessly.

The Xuanwu Guardian took a deep breath and explained, "Thousands of years ago, the Dao sect was on the verge of extinction, and some evil cultivators used human flesh to refine their qi and blood..."

"The real spiritual vein is not actually in the Dao Sect, but outside the Four Mountains. It is dependent on the luck of living beings. Killing living beings is destroying the spiritual vein!"

"Hiss!" Xing Yifu couldn't help but gasp.

Gu Shiya nodded and continued, "Moreover, most of the disciples of the Dao Sect are narrow-minded. Ascension has long become a fictitious destination that no one can reach. Now it has become the obsession of the disciples of the Dao Sect."

"If a Taoist disciple enters the secular world, what do you think will happen?"

Just like the Mu family five years ago!

These people don’t care about the lives of ordinary people as long as they need it!

There is a difference between immortals and mortals. How can the immortals, who are high and mighty, look upon mortals, who are as lowly as ants, with a straight eye?

How could those high and mighty Taoist monks who might achieve immortality and ascend to heaven in the future look down upon the ancient warriors in the secular world?

Refining their qi and blood is a great tonic for these monks!

"So, the battle between Jiangbei and the thief was not destined by fate..."

"If that person really gains power in the future, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him from being born." Gu Shiya sighed softly.
