Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Have we known each other before?

Wei Xin had no appetite and had long forgotten the taste of food. He was simply attracted by the series of things he said.

Wu Fang cautiously prepared a large table of delicious dishes under Wei Xin's supervision, and Wei Xin stayed in the kitchen, not to monitor how the chef cooked, but to stare at Yun Du curiously.

As soon as they returned to the courtyard, Yundu and Wufang went into the kitchen together.

Yundu took out a bowl of steamed egg custard from the pot.

Wei Xin took a look and couldn't understand what he was so amused about.

Although he has already started fasting, he still insists on being worldly and spends time and effort to prepare a bowl of this.

"Hmm... delicious!" Wei Xin ate a large bowl of egg custard in one breath, "How come it is so fresh, tender and smooth?!"

Yun Du raised his lips slightly and said, "As long as you like it."

Wei Xin ate other foods with relish, and his body did not feel hungry, so he ate whatever he liked without any scruples.

Wu Fang was terrified and felt that he could swallow everything in one gulp. Then he looked at Senior Brother Yun Du and saw how elegant and calm he was.

Wei Xin noticed his disgusted look, waved his hand, and a ball of fire took the man away.

"Where did you send him?" Yun Du asked.

"I killed him." Wei Xin answered without hesitation.

Yun Du smiled: "Impossible."

"How is that impossible?" Wei Xin put down his chopsticks and saw that he was eating calmly. He rolled his eyes and inadvertently glanced at the orchid by the window, which had already bloomed.

He was stunned for a moment, then his gaze slowly turned back to Yun Du: "Did we know each other before?"

Yun Du raised his eyes: "What do you mean by that?"

"You don't understand this? I'm asking if we've met before?"

"I have been in seclusion for many years, and you have been living in seclusion in Xuanji Sect. Do you think we have ever met?" Yun Du asked back.

Wei Xin shook his head. It was precisely because he had never seen it before that he was extremely curious.

They had never met each other before, and the two sects had been enemies for many years. How come this person didn't have any fear, jealousy, or...disgust towards him?

Could it be that she was pretending to be so, waiting for an opportunity to get close to him in order to achieve some ulterior motive?

Wei Xin was puzzled, and then he suddenly mentioned something: "You hurt Xu Shun badly."

"How do you know it was me?"

"Besides you, who else could have easily kidnapped people from the Qingguan Sect so many times without being tracked down?"

"Thank you for the award." Wei Xin said proudly, looking around, "Where is the top-quality wine you mentioned?"

Yundu stood up to get the fine wine and poured it into his cup.

Wei Xin raised his head and sipped, "Rice wine? Is this what you call the best quality wine?!"

"This is brewed with my own premium rice. How can it not be considered home-brewed?"

"......"

Yun Du filled his cup with rice wine again and returned to the topic: "Why do you want to pick a fight with a young disciple? What's even more puzzling to me is that you seem to be only keen on torturing him, but you don't want his life?"

"Do you think I don't want to kill him?" Wei Xin smiled coldly. If it weren't for the heaven's will to protect Xu Shun, he would have tortured Xu Shun eight hundred times and sacrificed him to the Red Blood Pearl.

Yun Du thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, you can't kill him."

Wei Xin paused, leaned forward, and was only three inches away from him. He stared into his eyes meaningfully: "What do you mean by saying this? What else do you know?"

Yun Du nodded, picked up a pea, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with a normal expression: "I also know that he is the only one who can free you from the Red Blood Pearl."

Wei Xin raised his eyebrows in disbelief: "Did your master tell you this?"

"right."

"How much did that old man tell you? Or are you deceiving me so that I would let Xu Shun go?" Wei Xin pressed.

"Not really." Yun Du put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked into his eyes. "When Master was going through the tribulation and ascending to heaven, he saw through the secrets of heaven and knew that Xu Shun was the only one who could free everyone. That's why he used the last bit of his cultivation to pass on to Xu Shun at the last moment."

Wei Xin's heart shuddered. He said, in the original plot, the relationship between the male protagonist and this old man was not deep, but who knew that after his fight, there would be so many changes.

Although it was a little unbelievable, some of it matched his thoughts.

Could this so-called secret be the book he received during his tribulation? Did his old friend also receive the book? And how did he deal with it?

Also, is it possible that the condition for triggering the secret of heaven is a thunder tribulation?

But looking at the present situation, there are very few people who can ascend and overcome the tribulation.

After the last war, both the good and evil sects suffered heavy losses, and only the Qingguan Sect's now deceased leader could fight against him in his prime.

The current disciples of the Qingguan Sect are vulnerable.

Of course, there aren't any top masters under his Xuanji Sect.

All the same dishes.

That is why we can maintain the present harmony.

The hero and heroine will indeed make great progress in their cultivation in the future, but the plot does not mention their ascension and tribulation. It is only mentioned in the final chapter that they defeated the Demon Sect, the heroine became the sect leader, and the hero assisted her.

But that’s another story.

At present, looking at the entire world of immortal cultivation, the one who is most likely to ascend is only......

This is the first disciple in front of him with ominous strength.

"Given our respective identities, why are you telling me this?" Wei Xin asked coldly.

"I just thought it would be better to let you know so as to minimize casualties."

"Who was injured and who died?"

Yun Du looked at him silently, then smiled and said, "Of course it's Xu Shun. How could he possibly defeat you? As long as you keep him alive, maybe he can make it less painful for you to peel off the Red Blood Pearl."

"Without the Red Blood Pearl, I will be retaliated by everyone and I will have no power to resist. Let's just forget it." Rather than being bullied by everyone, Wei Xin would rather die with the Red Blood Pearl.

Yun Du sighed slightly and placed the remaining half bowl of egg custard in front of him: "We'll talk about this later. Let's eat something first."

Wei Xin finished the meal in one go and asked casually, "Since your master has touched upon the secret of heaven, did he tell you what it is?"

“He told me six words.”

"What?"

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."

"......" Wei Xin sneered, "Why are you pretending? Didn't he tell you that Xu Shun was the chosen one?"

"This is just gossip, not leaking secrets." Yun Du said without blushing or beating his heart.

Wei Xin chuckled and casually asked, "Actually, your cultivation is not low. Have you ever thought about going there and trying to ascend?"

Yundu waved his hands and smiled faintly, "My life in the mortal world is not over yet, and I will be struck by lightning if I go."

"What other red dust do you have?" Wei Xin asked curiously.

Yun Du looked around the table and said, "It's hard to give up this delicious food."

"I thought you wanted to find a Taoist partner." Wei Xin sneered.

"Hey, the most taboo thing for a cultivator is to be controlled by emotions. We have to think carefully about the matter of the Taoist couple."

"Who's talking to you about us?" Wei Xin spat, rolling his eyes and saying in a teasing tone, "You're really boring. Your fellow students have already hooked up with each other."

"What do you mean?"

"I accidentally got a storybook yesterday. It tells the romantic stories of you disciples of Qingguan Sect. It is so erotic and exciting. Do you want to take a look?" As he spoke, he took out a book from his Qiankun bag, put it in front of him and asked.

"What kind of book is this? Why doesn't it even have an inscription?" Yun Du asked.

"Why don't you take a closer look?"

Yun Du took a closer look and said, "Where are the words? If you want to fool me, at least find a book with words. It will help me kill some time."

Wei Xin saw that he had no unusual expression. Ever since he showed the book cover, Yun Du had no surprised reaction, and his expression was the same as that of Elder Yin, Nan Huang and others. He must have never seen the contents of this book.

"Then tell me what kind of notebook you want, and I'll bring it to you next time." Wei Xin put the book back, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, rejected it, took another sip, and still rejected it.

"No one who is not romantic, no one who is not fragrant."

Wei Xin sprayed a mouthful of rice wine on his face.

Yundu wiped the wine stains gracefully and said, "Sorry for the trouble."

"Get lost!" Wei Xinzuo immediately sat back down, saying in disgust, "How can you, a person with impure six senses, practice immortality?"

"The opportunity is over." Yun Du said cautiously and did not continue the topic.

There was wind blowing outside, Yundu stood up to close the window, something fell from his sleeve, Wei Xin bent down and picked it up.

It was the small portrait he cut out from the scroll, and it was still there.

You are too narcissistic!

Wei Xin glanced at it with disdain, touched the glass bottle on the portrait with his fingertips, put away the portrait, looked around the room, but found nothing, so he had to focus his attention on Yun Du.

Yundu closed the window, and suddenly a burning temperature came towards him from behind.

He turned around and only caught a quick glimpse of the strange smile on Wei Xin's face, and the next moment he fell into endless darkness.

Wei Xin withdrew his hand and turned the beads in his hand.

Outside the door, there were disciples of the Qingguan Sect who came to check on their situation and were slowly approaching.

He didn't want to conflict with these people for the time being, so as not to delay important matters, and his eyes fell on the Crimson Spirit Pearl in his hand.

Yun Du was too good at disguising himself. He couldn't see through him beyond his appearance, so he had to find another way.

Wei Xin curled his lips and said, "You keep talking nonsense all day long. Why don't you let me see with my own eyes what kind of person you are and what your desires and fears are."
