Wen Shaoqing stood still, Minghuo turned around and said coldly: "Young Master, let's go."

Wen Shaoqing heard this, retracted his gaze, turned around and walked forward, saying, "Got it."

As they spoke, a group of people followed Jiang Rong forward. Jiang Rong walked along the corridor holding a lamp and said to everyone, "I will take you to where I live to rest first."

"Where's the blood order?"

Wen Shaoqing asked, and Jiang Rong answered nonchalantly: "It was taken away by the mermaid."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Minghuo frowned and asked, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Did you tell me earlier that you would save me?"

Jiang Rong turned around and smiled: "I'm not stupid."

Minghuo said nothing, Jiang Rong led the way: "But I didn't lie to you, I still told you the clues, didn't I?"

"What's going on with that mermaid?" Ming Huo asked coldly. Jiang Rong did not answer.

The group walked out of the corridor, and the view ahead suddenly opened up. A small building appeared in front of them, and behind the small building was a dense forest. Jiang Rong was delighted to see the small building, and pointed at it and said, "Look, we're here, this is my home."

"Who is that mermaid? Why is he here? Why is the blood order in his hand? Why did the people of Yunsheng Town at the foot of the mountain turn gray overnight and the Goddess Mountain was sealed? What happened?"

Ming Huo didn't give Jiang Rong a chance to beat around the bush and asked the question directly.

Jiang Rong turned around with a smile and said, "My fellow Taoist, you have so many questions. Which one should I answer?"

"Mrs. Lin."

Xie Changji suddenly spoke, and Jiang Rong was startled, then she heard him remind her: "My wife needs to rest, lead the way."

Jiang Rong looked at Xie Changji in surprise and said hesitantly, "You..."

Xie Changji raised his eyes and said, "Lead the way."

When Jiang Rong heard this, the smile on her face disappeared. She pursed her lips and turned forward.

She quietly led everyone to the guest room, pointed to the room and said, "You can divide it among yourselves. I'm going to sleep."

Xie Changji walked straight into the innermost room without saying a word and closed the door.

Ming Huo and Wen Shaoqing looked at each other, and Wen Shaoqing said, "Go and ask in private."

After hearing this, Ming Huo knew what Wen Shaoqing meant.

If we question Jiang Rong now, no matter what we get out, we will be sharing the information with Xie Changji. It would be better to find out the clues privately.

Minghuo nodded and pushed the door open and entered the room.

Xie Changji held Hua Xiangwan in his arms. As soon as he entered the room and put her on the bed, Hua Xiangwan suddenly opened her eyes, raised her hand and pressed his head, letting him maintain the posture of bending over and leaning against her. She supported herself and took the initiative to move forward.

She placed her lips next to Xie Changji's ear and whispered, "Go ask Jiang Rong about the situation now, and don't alarm anyone."

Xie Changji didn't say anything. He looked up at her. Hua Xiangwan knew what he meant and quickly explained, "I'm fine. The mermaid poison has no effect on me. I just need to rest for a while. Minghuo and Wen Shaoqing will definitely go to find Jiang Rong alone later. You have to be ahead of them."

Xie Changji looked at her calmly. Hua Xiangwan became anxious and immediately got up from the bed: "Forget it, if you don't go, I will."

"I'll go."

Xie Changji raised his hand to hold her, then turned to look at her: "Lie down on the bed and take good care of yourself. I will record everything with my photo beads."

"I trust you to do the job."

When Hua Xiangwan saw that he agreed, she immediately lay back on the bed, pulled the quilt over herself, and showed a well-behaved expression: "I will definitely lie down and wait for you to come back."

Xie Changji nodded, turned off the lights in the room, turned around and walked out.

As soon as Xie Changji left, Hua Xiangwan immediately lifted the quilt, raised her hand and pasted a talisman paper on the door of Minghuo, then came to Wen Shaoqing's door and gently pushed it open.

When he heard the door open, Wen Shaoqing immediately looked up, but before he could say anything, he saw Hua Xiangwan rushing forward and covering Wen Shaoqing's mouth with her hands.

"Shaoqing, it's me."

Hua Xiangwan spoke, and the sound immediately spread to Minghuo's room next door. Minghuo, who was meditating, opened his eyes instantly.

Upon hearing this, Wen Shaoqing quickly pulled down Hua Xiangwan's hand and took out a magic weapon from his Qiankun bag to prevent eavesdropping. Then he turned to look at Hua Xiangwan with some confusion: "Why are you here?"

"Xie Changji went to question Jiang Rong, and I took the opportunity to sneak over here," Hua Xiangwan explained, and asked, "When do you plan to take action?"

Wen Shaoqing hesitated after hearing this, and Hua Xiangwan immediately said, "How about tomorrow night? Shaoqing," Hua Xiangwan showed some uneasiness, "I'm so scared holding this medicine."

"Don't be afraid," Wen Shaoqing hurriedly comforted her, "If you are worried, then tomorrow night. I will find out the exact location of the eye of the formation tonight and tell you tomorrow night. After you poison him, put him in the designated location and come back to me. I will handle it myself."

"But if he wakes up..."

"This is an ancient formation after all." Wen Shaoqing reassured Hua Xiangwan, "Not to mention that he is in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, even if someone from the God Realm came down, they wouldn't be able to escape."

"That mystery..."

Hua Xiangwan hesitated: "If Minghuo finds out..."

"Then kill them all!"

Wen Shaoqing spoke decisively.

Ming Huo, who was sitting next to him, was listening and looked over coldly.

"He was originally Qin Yunyi's lackey. If he finds out, I will take his cultivation as well. Ah Wan, don't be afraid," Wen Shaoqing said with tenderness, "This is a foolproof matter. Just listen to me."

Hua Xiangwan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, but Shaoqing."

She raised her eyes and looked at Wen Shaoqing seriously: "You have to promise me that when you become the Demon Lord and I become the Demon Queen, you can't let Qin Yunyi go."

Wen Shaoqing was stunned when he heard this. Hua Xiangwan said with some uneasiness: "Now I am just a useless person, and she is the young master of Mingluan Palace, and she is also in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. She is obsessed with you. I am afraid that you will change your mind..."

"How is this possible?" Wen Shaoqing heard this and realized that Hua Xiangwan was jealous. He laughed, "Qin Yunyi is nothing. How can she compare with you? Ah Wan, as long as it can make you happy, I can skin her alive. You don't have to worry. I will never have any fantasies about her. How she humiliated me over the years," Wen Shaoqing said coldly, "I remember everything."

Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan glanced at the next room without leaving a trace.

Minghuo, who was sitting in meditation, suppressed his emotions and clenched his fists tightly.

"That's good."

Hua Xiangwan smiled and forced Wen Shaoqing to say many bad things about Qin Yunyi.

When she thought Wen Shaoqing couldn't come up with anything new to say, she looked relieved, turned her head to look outside, and whispered, "Xie Changji is coming back. I'll leave first."

"Um."

Wen Shaoqing nodded: "Be careful and be safe."

Hua Xiangwan didn't say much. She pushed the door open and walked out of the room. She pulled out the talisman at the door of the underworld, turned around and walked towards her room. Then she hurriedly lay down on the bed, covered herself with the quilt as it was, and finally closed her eyes and fell asleep.

She fell asleep in a daze, and in the middle of the night, Xie Changji finally came back.

His movements were so gentle that Hua Xiangwan didn't notice it at all. She only vaguely felt a shadow falling above her. She subconsciously raised her hand with the blade in her hand and swept it across, but someone grabbed her wrist.

The other person's hand was a little cold, with a familiar scent. Hua Xiangwan finally came to her senses. She looked up and saw Xie Changji standing at the head of the bed in white, looking at her quietly.

Hua Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone, "You're back?"

Xie Changji said nothing. He lowered his eyes and looked at her fingers holding the blade.

She has always claimed to be a mage, but when she raised her hand to strike, even though she was holding a blade, her speed was beyond the reach of many sword practitioners.

Without years of practice, it would be impossible to achieve such speed.

He stared at her fingers in silence. Hua Xiangwan felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and asked quickly, "What did you find out? Where's the photo bead?"

Xie Changji did not respond immediately. He held her hand, the hand with the rope, and stroked the back of her hand, feeling her veins being sutured inch by inch, and whispered: "More than 20 years ago, she was not yet a goddess. At that time, she met a man named Lin Luo."

Hearing his words, Hua Xiangwan knew that he was asking for the news. She deliberately ignored the movements of his hands and listened to him continue: "She saved him, fell in love with him, and got married. However, on the wedding day, a mermaid came to the house and said that Lin Luo had let her down, so she went on a killing spree in the Lin family. She had no supernatural power at the foot of the mountain and could not defeat the mermaid, so she could only escape and return to the snow mountain. But the mermaid chased her relentlessly. After she arrived at the snow mountain, the mermaid hid everywhere and kept trying to kill her. In this way, the two sides were deadlocked for twenty years."

As he spoke, Xie Changji took the blade from her hand, took out the image-retaining bead, and handed it to her.

"Until ten days ago, the Demon Lord's Blood Order suddenly fell into the Goddess Mountain. The mermaid snatched the Blood Order and used the power of the Blood Order to imprison her. Then, she changed the Snow Mountain Magic Array and began to frantically absorb the spiritual power of the people living under the mountain."

"So many questions?"

Hua Xiangwan was curious when she heard this: "Why did you ask?"

"She has a mole on her left hand," Xie Changji reminded.

Hua Xiangwan was puzzled: "How?"

"Mrs. Lin, who was cut out of the portrait, is in the same position. I confirmed her identity. I forced her out."

Hua Xiangwan couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this. Wen Shaoqing only glanced at her and deliberately didn't show it to Xie Changji. Xie Changji at most glanced at him from the side, but he actually looked at him so carefully?

She looked at Xie Changji in shock and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of monster are you?"

Xie Changji said nothing. He lowered his head for a long time, then slowly spoke: "I have been a quiet person since I was young. I didn't make a sound until I was five years old. Others said I was a fool, but my uncle and master said I had a good chance to cultivate the Sword of the Heart."

"You guys ask Xin Jian if he likes..." The word "dumb" almost slipped out of his mouth, but Hua Xiangwan felt offended again, so he could only cough lightly and change the word, "Does he like introverted children?"

"I didn't speak because I didn't know what to say." Xie Changji described the young man, "I didn't know how to be happy, angry, cry, or feel pity. I didn't know what to say, and the master seemed to know my predicament very well, so he told me to go and see."

"Observe the world, know love and hate, understand their progress and retreat, and comprehend their cause and effect."

"I understand," Hua Xiangwan nodded, and she understood what he was trying to say after talking for so long. She secretly sighed in her heart, it turned out that language expression requires training. Seeing Xie Changji talking for a long time but still unable to explain one thing clearly, she still needed to summarize it. "Your observation ability is the result of years of training."

"Therefore," Xie Changji did not agree with her conclusion. He raised his hand and slowly stroked her eyebrows. "If I want to know what I want, I must seek my heart. If I want to understand my way, I must seek what I get." As he spoke, his fingertips slid down, across her nose, thin lips, chin, throat... and finally stopped at her heart.

He paused.

The heartbeat under her finger was so obvious that Hua Xiangwan was a little nervous. She swallowed, turned her head to look to the side, and coughed lightly: "Well, I don't understand what you are saying..."

The Yunlai sect is just like the Tianji Sect that tells fortunes in the Western Territory, they don’t speak human language.

Xie Changji didn't talk before, and she felt that they didn't communicate.

Now that he spoke, she finally realized that they probably couldn't communicate.

She could only comfort him, tentatively holding his hand, moving his hand from her chest, and asked carefully: "How about we stop talking and go to sleep first?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Changji lowered his eyes and looked at her holding his hand.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Hua Xiangwan quickly let go of his hand, turned her back to him, pulled up the quilt, and closed her eyes: "I'm going to sleep first."

Xie Changji stood still for a long time. Then, as usual, he undressed, got on the bed, and took Hua Xiangwan into his arms.

Hua Xiangwan seemed to be tired and fell asleep soon.

He held her hand, wrapped her in his arms, closed his eyes and kissed her hair, stroking his way down her long black hair.

He let his scent permeate every inch of her, covering her with a hint of ambergris.

This is his human desire.

Regret, joy, exclusivity, lust, love and hate, grief...

All the desires in the world are embodied in her.

His gods and Buddhas.
