Before I knew it, the sky was getting dark.

Lu Qingyuan rubbed her neck, only to feel extremely sore. She couldn't help but look in Feng Shao's direction, only to see that Feng Shao had gone to the bookshelf at the back without knowing when. If Feng Shao had read all the books on the bookshelf along the way, he would have read hundreds of ancient books.

Lu Qingyuan couldn't help but be curious. Isn't he tired of reading so many books? Doesn't he feel bored?

Looking at herself again, it seemed that she had only read about a hundred books in the afternoon, which was far less than Feng Shao. But even with such a big difference in quantity, Lu Qingyuan already felt tired and bored.

But then again, in Lu Qingyuan's impression, Feng Shao seemed to have been so busy since the first day she joined the company, and it was rare to see him have free time.

She couldn't help but look up and out the window, only to see a full moon quietly leaping onto the branches, shining silvery light on the ground, dazzling and flawless.

In a trance, a question suddenly popped up in her mind.

How many times has Feng Shao spent time alone in the Sutra Library under the quiet and lonely moonlight?

It's strange to say, in the past, Lu Qingyuan still respected Feng Shao very much, and was grateful for Feng Shao's deliberate care. But I don't know since when, she has become estranged from Feng Shao, and instead has more preference for the junior brother who has just joined. Obviously, the junior brother has many problems, but she just thinks that this is his true nature.

What on earth is wrong with me?

Just as he was lost in thought, Feng Shao suddenly cried out in surprise: "Finally found it! It took me so long to find it!"

Lu Qingyuan quickly looked towards Feng Shao, only to see Feng Shao holding an ancient book with joy on his face.

Lu Qingyuan was curious and couldn't help asking, "Senior Brother Feng, what did you find?"

Feng Shao was startled when he heard this and looked at Lu Qingyuan: "Junior Sister Lu? You haven't left yet?"

Lu Qingyuan: “…”

Didn't you ask me to help you look through ancient books? How could I dare to leave if you didn't let me?

Seeing Lu Qingyuan was speechless, Feng Shao slapped his forehead and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Junior Sister Lu, I forgot I asked you for help just now, I'm sorry!"

Lu Qingyuan smiled helplessly: "It's okay. But Brother, have you found any relevant records about Bifangyuan?"

Feng Shao nodded.

"Then I wonder why Senior Brother Feng is looking for Bifang Yuan's information?" Lu Qingyuan asked again.

“As for this… Senior Brother Rong, I will keep it secret for now.” Feng Shao smiled mysteriously, “But I can tell you that this thing is very important to the sect.”

Looking at Feng Shao's expression, he seemed very happy to have found the information he needed. After hesitating for a moment, Lu Qingyuan said, "Brother Feng, I have a favor to ask."

"What's the matter?" Feng Shao asked without raising his head while looking down at the ancient book.

"Brother Feng, can you return Junior Brother Ye's Red Dragon Sword to him?"

Feng Shao raised his head after hearing this and asked, "What Red Dragon Sword?"

Lu Qingyuan was startled at first, and then she couldn't help but feel a little angry. Is it fun to play dumb at this time?

However, at this moment, Feng Shao took out Ye Chen's red sword from his storage ring and asked, "Is it this sword that Junior Sister Lu is asking about?"

Lu Qingyuan nodded and said, "Brother Feng, I know what Junior Brother did today was wrong, but Junior Brother only has this one weapon. If he loses it, he will have a lot of inconvenience when he goes out in the future. I hope that Senior Brother Feng can forgive Junior Brother Ye's disrespect this time and return this sword to him. If that doesn't work, Junior Sister can also exchange it with Senior Brother for something else."

Feng Shao looked at Lu Qingyuan with a half-smile and asked, "Junior Sister Lu, you don't think I want to covet Junior Brother Ye Chen's weapon, do you?"

Lu Qingyuan quickly said: "Of course not, it's just..."

"Okay, Junior Sister Lu, no need to say more." Feng Shao waved his hand, "I can't possibly return this sword to Ye Chen, and I'm doing this for his own good."

Lu Qingyuan couldn't help but frown. Taking away someone's weapon is for their own good? How could this be justified?

But Feng Shao said, "Junior Sister Lu, you said this sword is called the 'Red Dragon Sword'? Where did you hear this name?"

Lu Qingyuan said calmly, "This is a mysterious weapon that Junior Brother Ye found in an unknown mountain stream when he was traveling down the mountain. Junior Brother Ye doesn't know the origin of this sword, but because it is as red as blood and there is a faint sound of a dragon's roar when it is wielded, he named it the 'Red Dragon Sword'."

"Heh, the sound of a dragon's roar?" Feng Shao couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Qingyuan frowned again and couldn't help asking, "Brother, why are you laughing?"

"Junior Sister Lu, when this sword is swung, the sound it makes is not the roar of a dragon, but the sound of a vengeful spirit! Don't you realize that when Ye Chen swung this sword, you felt a sense of trembling?"

Lu Qingyuan was stunned.

Feng Shao stroked the blood-red sword blade and said calmly, "The real name of this sword is not the 'Red Dragon Sword', but the 'Blood Refining Sword'. It was the sword worn by Blood Wing, one of the 'Four Demon Sects' in the past."

Lu Qingyuan couldn't help but open her eyes wide: "Could it be that this sword is actually a magic weapon?"

Feng Shao did not answer her question directly, but said: "In the past, there were four great prodigies in the righteous world, namely Feng Huang, Lei Di, Shui Xian, and Huo Shen, and there were four evil spirits in the demon sect, namely Xue Yi, Bing Po, You Lan, and Zi Mei. The righteous prodigies were headed by Feng Huang, while the four evil spirits in the demon sect were headed by Xue Yi. The two had once made an appointment to fight on the Broken Dragon Platform for three days and three nights, but no one knew the final outcome. It is just rumored that since then, the whereabouts of Xue Yi's sword 'Blood Refining Sword' has been unknown.

"This Blood Sword has been lost for hundreds of years and has long become a legend. People in the world only know that this sword is made of the Ghost Crying Stone that is abundant in the Sea of ​​​​Wrathful Spirits, and is tempered with the blood of Naraku, so it is red all over, and there is a ghost howling sound when it is wielded. If it can be supplemented with the magic skills, it can capture the hearts and minds of the enemies and absorb their essence and blood when fighting. Junior Brother Ye Chen seems to have not yet mastered the magic skills, so he has not been able to exert its full power. But if this continues, I am afraid that sooner or later he will fall into the devil's way."

Others could not tell the origin of this sword, but Feng Shao, who was carrying the Tianhua Jade Slip, could not hide it. Feng Shao only took a glance and saw the past and present of this sword clearly through the Tianhua Jade Slip.

Strangely enough, in Feng Shao's impression, in many fantasy novels he had read in his previous life, the protagonists seemed to be particularly fond of magic skills. The most representative statement was, "Power itself has no distinction between good and evil. When used by good people, it is good, and when used by evil people, it is evil. Even if it is a skill from a famous and upright sect, if it is practiced by someone with evil intentions, it will only bring disaster to the world."

Feng Shao used to believe this statement. But after traveling through time, through the analysis of various sects' skills in the Tianhua Jade Slip, Feng Shao realized that it was not the case at all.

The reason why the magic sect's skills are feared by the famous and upright sects is that the magic sect's skills only focus on self-cultivation and not on cultivating the mind. Logically, when this kind of skills is cultivated to the fifth level, it is inevitable that the inner demon will appear. The way that the Buddhist and Taoist sects deal with the inner demon is to eliminate it in order to achieve a clear mind and a natural state of mind. However, the magic sect does the opposite and advocates merging with the inner demon. This alone is destined to be unacceptable to the famous and upright sects.

You know, the reason why the inner demon is called the inner demon is because of its ability to seduce people's hearts. After people control extraordinary powers, their mentality will inevitably expand and their greed will gradually increase. If they are not controlled, they will inevitably be controlled by the inner demon and become murderous and bloodthirsty. The so-called "merging with the inner demon" is just a more pleasant way of saying compromise with desire.

What is black is black, and it is impossible to write white words no matter what method you use.

There is a reason why the righteous and the evil have been fighting for thousands of years. As a famous and upright sect, Taiwei Sect cannot tolerate the magic skills.

Lu Qingyuan asked, "Brother, what you mean is that Xue Yi's lost Blood Refining Sword was accidentally picked up by Junior Brother Ye?"

“I don’t know whether it was an accident or not. But Junior Sister, you must know that the weapons of the Demon Sect have the ability to bewitch people. Unless you practice the Demon Sect’s skills, you will be controlled by the weapons of the Demon Sect sooner or later. Junior Sister Lu, you must pay more attention to Junior Brother Ye Chen when you go back, and don’t let him go astray!” Feng Shao said meaningfully.

Lu Qingyuan nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Feng, I will pay more attention to it!"

Feng Shao nodded and put the Blood Refining Sword back into the storage ring. Seeing this, Lu Qingyuan couldn't help but ask curiously: "So what do you plan to do with this sword, brother?"

"Divine weapons have spirits, and demonic weapons also have spirits. If you abandon them carelessly, I'm afraid they will find their next owner sooner or later. Since I already know where it came from, I won't be controlled by it, so I'll keep this sword for the time being. Wait until I find a suitable way to deal with it, and then I'll get rid of this sword!"

Lu Qingyuan nodded thoughtfully.

Feng Shao quietly observed Lu Qingyuan's expression and began to analyze it in his mind.

It is basically certain that Ye Chen is the son of destiny. Feng Shao discovered that Ye Chen's purple destiny seemed to have a bewitching effect. Lu Qingyuan's indifference to him in the past few years might be due to the influence of destiny. Today, Ye Chen was defeated by him first, and then lost his beloved sword. His destiny was weakened twice in succession, and the originally deep purple destiny has become much lighter. Correspondingly, Lu Qingyuan's IQ seemed to have returned, and she began to realize that something was wrong.

But then again, why did he become a stepping stone in the novel routine? Feng Shao felt that in order to figure this out, he might need to observe more.

As for Ye Chen, Feng Shao had not yet figured out how to deal with him. Feng Shao was not sure whether this son of destiny would be a blessing or a curse for Taiwei Sect. Thinking of Master Qing Yangzi's attitude towards Ye Chen today, Feng Shao had a bad feeling in his heart.

Maybe I should think more about myself...
