Chapter 64 Xie Sixing's Relationship with the Wuqi Clan
Xie Sixing glanced at the sword pointed at his throat, then curled his lips and spread his hands, "Innocent, Daoist Master. I am wholeheartedly devoted to good. Otherwise, why would I give you cultivation techniques and help you cultivate?"
He raised his finger and slowly moved Ye Li's sword away, smiling innocently, "A person as upright as the Daoist Master would not repay kindness with enmity, would he?"
Ye Li frowned as she looked at Xie Sixing's nonchalant and shameless demeanor, finding it impossible to reconcile him with the person she had just seen.
"Why were you sealed in this chaotic realm? Are you a member of the Wuqi clan?"
"How could that be?"
Xie Sixing looked disgusted. "The Wuqi Clan eats dirt. They have no taste at all."
earth?
Before Ye Li could think it through, Xie Sixing suddenly leaned closer, his arm resting on the armrest, his eyes smiling. "Daoist Master, take a closer look. Do I, so handsome and dashing, look like someone who would eat dirt?"
He stood too close, and Ye Li instinctively stepped back, forgetting that there were steps behind her.
"careful."
Xie Sixing reached out to put his arm around her waist, but found nothing.
Ye Li stood steadily on the next step, frowning as she looked at his slightly embarrassed arm. "What are you doing reaching out?"
Xie Sixing lowered his extra hand and shrugged. "It's nothing, I've just been reading too many storybooks."
That's right. When she was in the Chaos Realm, Xie Sixing was either reading storybooks or mooching fruit wine and dried fruit that she gave to Huo Huo and A Jin. He never did anything serious.
Ye Li's doubts dissipated somewhat. "You said you're not from the Wuqi Clan, so why were you sealed here for thousands of years?"
A fleeting emotion flashed in Xie Sixing's eyes that Ye Li couldn't decipher, and the corners of his lips curled up with a hint of mockery. Before she could examine it further, he reverted to his usual nonchalant demeanor.
"Of course he was wronged."
He sighed dramatically, "If everyone outside were as discerning as the Taoist priest, I wouldn't be stuck here getting moldy."
Ye Li felt something was off, but Xie Sixing had made it clear he wouldn't show her his left eye. If he forced her...
Thinking of the purple-striped giant tiger that died with a flick of his finger that day, she knew she was no match for him.
Moreover, there's also the bird quality of Big Black.
We still need to take a long-term view.
Ye Li sheathed her sword and walked downstairs.
As they brushed past each other, Xie Sixing suddenly called out to her.
"Young Taoist priest."
Xie Sixing stood in the shadows at the corner of the stairs above, a half-smile on his face. "Next time you suspect someone, don't be so direct. You'll suffer the consequences."
-
In the following days, Ye Li attended classes and cultivated like an ordinary outer disciple.
The outer sect has more courses than the registered disciples, with elders or disciples directly taught every three days.
Ye Li already knew these contents by heart and could even recite them backwards. She sat at her desk, pondering Xie Sixing's words.
What exactly did he mean?
"Knock knock knock-"
Elder Tao, who was recounting the sect's history, tapped the table. "You're all bowing your heads. Do you dislike this old woman so much?"
The dozing disciples were woken up. The disciples in the front row yawned and said, "We already know the sect's history, can you talk about something else?"
Elder Tao was a kind old woman. She smiled and said, "Then what would you like to hear?"
Upon hearing this, everyone perked up. "We want to hear about the Wuqi Clan."
"Yes, yes, we want to hear how our ancestor wiped out their entire clan!"
Once the news of the Fog Forest spread, everyone became very interested in the Wuqi tribe and begged Granny Tao to tell them stories.
Ye Li also looked up at Granny Tao. She was struggling to find information about the Chaos Realm and the Wuqi Clan. Granny Tao was an elder of the Tianmen Sect and must know many things that Ye Li did not.
Unable to resist the repeated pleas, Grandma Tao tapped her cane and said, "Alright, alright, then Grandma will tell you the story."
The classroom fell silent, and everyone stared expectantly at Grandma Tao.
From that gentle, aged voice, Ye Li learned the origin of the Wuqi Clan.
Legend has it that the Wuqi Clan transcends the six realms of reincarnation and is an immortal race.
They do not eat grains, but live solely on mud and spring water.
One of the younger disciples laughed and said, "Wouldn't that mean they'd be a clan that eats dirt?"
"What's the use of not dying? Who can stand eating dirt every day?"
Ye Li was equally surprised. That day, she thought Xie Sixing was talking nonsense, but she didn't expect it to be true.
Although the Wuqi Clan possesses the ability to be immortal, they fall into a deep sleep every five hundred years.
They waited for their people to use evil magic to bring them back to life.
One of the more timid disciples swallowed hard and asked, "What kind of evil magic is this? It can actually bring people back to life?"
Grandma Tao: "I don't know, after all, I've never seen it before."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li inexplicably recalled everything that the masked man had done to her.
He kept saying that he wanted to bring "her" back to life.
Could it be that they're using some kind of evil magic?
But she is not a member of the Wuqi tribe, so why would he use it on her?
The more Ye Li thought about it, the more mysterious it seemed.
After class, Ye Li did not leave immediately. After the other disciples left, she stepped forward and bowed, "Elder Tao, this disciple still has some questions to ask you."
She paused, "Are there any differences in appearance between the Wuqi Clan and ordinary people, for example, their eyes?"
Grandma Tao just assumed Ye Li was like those curious disciples and chuckled, "Back then I was just a little kid, how could I dare to look at those people? But I remember they were all wearing black robes and masks, it was really creepy."
Ye Li's heart tightened, and she pressed on, "When our patriarch wiped them out back then, were there any extraordinary people or masters who helped him?"
Grandma Tao shook her head. "Never heard of it."
She looked at Ye Li, a kind smile curving her eyes. "Besides, those extraordinary people you mentioned should all be members of the demon race, who are irreconcilable enemies of Daoist cultivators. How could they possibly help us?"
Ye Li also found her question ridiculous. If Xie Sixing really stood on the side of the Daoist cultivators, how could he have been imprisoned in the Chaos Realm for thousands of years?
Even if he wasn't from the Wuqi clan, he was definitely not a good person.
"Thank you, Elder Tao."
Leaving the school, Ye Li remembered what Granny Tao had said: the Wuqi tribe eats soil...
Chu Wei happened to be practicing earth-based magic.
Ye Li's suspicions about him increased even more.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she completely missed the person standing by the roadside.
"Hello!"
A furious shout.
"I'm waiting for you, can't you see me?!"
Yuan Ce, who had been waiting for quite some time, glared angrily at Ye Li.
Ye Li knew Yuan Ce was mischievous, but hearing his imperious tone, she felt he was truly unreasonable.
Not wanting to waste any more words with him, I walked straight ahead.
Yuan Ce couldn't believe Ye Li was ignoring him like this. He chased after her, shouting, "Can't you hear me talking to you?!"
Ye Li didn't even glance at him. "Just because you talk to me doesn't mean I have to talk to you."
"you!"
Yuan Ce was furious. He had always been a direct disciple and had everything he wanted, so he couldn't stand such a tone.
He pointed at Ye Li's nose and said, "Don't think I want to talk to you. If your swordsmanship weren't the same as my senior sister's, I wouldn't bother with an outer disciple like you!"
He said in a commanding tone, "Starting tomorrow, you will teach me swordsmanship. Teach me the same way your senior sister taught you."
