Fang Wei's speculation was very accurate. Hua Shi and Yi Zhan were still testing each other and talking nonsense. Just after half a quarter of an hour, Xuan Shuzhi pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing the two people quarreling and Jiang Tingwan who was watching the scene with a confused face beside them, Xuan Shuzhi seemed relieved. He then stepped forward and grabbed Hua Shi, protecting him behind him.
Yi Zhan raised his eyebrows immediately upon seeing this: "You are protecting him?"
Xuan Shuzhi said calmly: "What else? Should I protect you?"
Yi Zhan opened his mouth to speak, but was stunned for a long while and couldn't think of how to refute. In the end, he could only snort and said, "You finally remembered to come and see? Do you cherish your disciple so much? Or do you cherish Jiang Tingwan? Do you like him as he is now? Don't you like watching him play the flute the most? Where is his flute? Can he still play it now?"
Xuan Shuzhi was so angry at his words that he laughed: "Yi Zhan!"
Yi Zhan showed no sign of weakness, staring at him and asking, "What?"
Xuan Shuzhi didn't want to talk to him too much: "Do you know what you are talking about? What on earth is in your mind?"
Yi Zhan's face had not been in a good mood since he stepped into the Xuanling Pavilion. When he heard Xuan Shuzhi's question, he instinctively blurted out something, but he quickly changed his mind and said, "What's in my head got to do with you? It's not you anyway!"
Xuan Shuzhi sneered, "Master Yi Zhai is so busy that he naturally doesn't think of me. So why are you coming to our Xuanling Pavilion? Are you showing off? Or do you have nothing better to do and want to come in and demolish two buildings for fun?"
Yi Zhan said loudly: "I just came here, so what? Xuanqing Continent is so big, I can go wherever I want, why can't I come to your Xuanling Pavilion?"
Xuan Shuzhi: "How long are you going to quarrel? I don't care where you come and go, but if you refuse to tell me the purpose of your coming, I will kick you out."
Yi Zhan: “You…”
He stared at Xuan Shuzhi, and after meeting those cold eyes, he calmed down for some reason. He turned his head and lowered his voice: "I heard that you brought someone back from Frost Forest Valley. From what Yu Xing and the others said, I guess the person you brought back should be Jiang Tingwan, so I came to see... to see if he is dead or not."
Xuan Shuzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Aren't you quite dissatisfied with him?"
Yi Zhan frowned and said, "I just want to confirm whether he is dead or alive."
Xuan Shuzhi asked: "Now that you have confirmed it, can you leave?"
Yi Zhan: "Of course not. Since I'm here, I'm here to take him away. What's the point of leaving him here? We have the best doctors in Poxuezhai. His current condition is obviously caused by poison. You should let me take him back to Poxuezhai!"
"Oh." Suddenly a voice interrupted the conversation between the two. Hua Shi blinked and said, "Master Yi Zhan and Senior Jiang are indeed real. What they said just now was deliberately belittling for Master to see, right?"
Xuan Shuzhi glanced at Hua Shi, then turned back to Yi Zhan and raised his eyebrows meaningfully, "Oh? Really? So you have a deep affection for Jiang Tingwan?"
Yi Zhan was so anxious that his face turned pale: "Little ghost, don't talk nonsense!!"
He almost immediately turned around and shouted to Xuan Shuzhi, "What could possibly happen between Jiang Tingwan and me! I just don't want him to stay here!"
Xuan Shuzhi's expression did not change, revealing a bit of indifference: "Really? What does it have to do with me if Master Yi Zhan has any emotional entanglement with someone?"
Yi Zhan was speechless, staring at Xuan Shuzhi with a somewhat lost look in his eyes. After a while, Xuan Shuzhi still didn't look at him. He put down his tightly clenched fists and suddenly sneered, "Yes, we have no relationship. Can you let me take the person away?"
The confrontation between the two top masters was not as worrying as imagined. Instead, it was more like a quarrel between ordinary friends. Or maybe "friends" was not quite accurate. They were more like...
Hua Shi, who had been watching the show until now, had already developed the most accurate intuition of a spectator.
"Could it be that everything we thought before was wrong? In fact, Master and Master Poxue are the real couple!" Hua Shi seemed to be staying quietly at the side, but in fact, he was already curiously verifying the information with the system in his mind.
What Hua Shi didn't know was that after he said this, the evil spirit also joined in the fun and asked hurriedly: "Yeah, these two guys are not simple, right?"
Fang Wei was a little helpless. This was clearly a matter between Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan, but he, an outsider, was pestered by two guys who loved to join in the fun and they insisted on getting a result.
He thought for a moment and said, "It is said that these two grew up together. Many years ago, a village was attacked by monsters, and these two were the two survivors of the village. They were only a few years old at the time, and they wandered around and took care of each other. They started out as street beggars, and were later picked up by someone and brought back to the Blood Crow Sect. They spent several years becoming elders of the Blood Crow Sect. In the end, the Blood Crow Sect recognized Fang Wei, the Lord of the Wind and Rain Palace, as the evil leader, and they became Fang Wei's subordinates."
The evil spirit said "Oh" and said meaningfully: "So you two were childhood sweethearts?"
Fang Wei did not answer this, but Hua Shi did not know what he was thinking of, and could not help but ask: "Is that so?"
Fang Wei looked at his expression and asked, "Host, do you have anything else to ask?"
Hua Shi frowned and said, "Master, isn't he a subordinate of the first generation of the Spiritual Path Master? He just temporarily entered the evil path for other reasons. Why didn't you mention this experience when you talked about him?"
Fang Wei: “…”
He almost forgot that Xuan Shuzhi had made up this story for Hua Shi, but fortunately, before Fang Wei opened his mouth to explain, Hua Shi had already thought of a reason for Xuan Shuzhi: "Master must have experienced a lot during this period of time, and concealed a lot, even from his closest people, so the two of them parted ways later."
Fang Wei remained silent and had to agree.
However, with Xuan Shuzhi around, Yi Zhan finally stopped going crazy like before. Xuan Shuzhi's few words made Yi Zhan's hair wilt. He lowered his head and tightly grasped the things in his hands. At this time, he still refused to give up the purpose of coming here: "Leave Jiang Tingwan to me, I'll leave now."
Xuan Shuzhi looked at him with amusement: "No!"
Yi Zhan exploded again: "There really is something wrong with you!"
Xuan Shuzhi: “…”
Hua Shi was watching with great interest: "After talking for so long, are they still going back to the same old topic?"
Fang Wei had already seen through Yi Zhan's way of speaking and was really used to it.
Seeing that Yi Zhan and Xuan Shuzhi were about to quarrel again, Yi Zhan shook his arm and tried to lift his sleeve. Xuan Shuzhi finally noticed what Yi Zhan had in his hand. After seeing it clearly, he immediately reached out to grab it: "How did this token end up in your hand?"
Yi Zhan retracted his hand to prevent him from touching the thing: "Why can't this thing be in my hand?"
Hua Shi, who had watched the whole show, only now remembered that his things had been stolen. He watched the token dangling in the hands of the two men and quickly stood up and said, "That's mine!"
Yi Zhan heard this during the fight with Xuan Shuzhi, and immediately turned to Hua Shi and said, "I've been wanting to ask you since a while ago, how come you have our evil..."
"Does this have anything to do with you?" Xuan Shuzhi sensed what Yi Zhan was about to say, and he interrupted him almost the moment he opened his mouth to say that word, saying in a cold voice: "Although you have seen the token of the first generation of the master of the spiritual path, it is best not to tell anyone, otherwise in the future not only Xuanling Pavilion will be in trouble, but your Poxuezhai will not be much better off."
Yi Zhan was obviously stunned and even forgot about the fight. He was hit in the chest by Xuan Shuzhi. Fortunately, Xuan Shuzhi withdrew his strength in time and he was not seriously injured.
He covered his chest and took a few steps back before he could stand firm. He was still a little confused and didn't care about his injuries. He asked in disbelief: "You said this thing is the token of the first generation of the master of the spiritual path? Do you think my eyes are not working well or my brain is not working well? This thing is obviously..."
Xuan Shuzhi pursed his lips and looked at Yi Zhan in silence. He couldn't help but slap him in the chest again: "You just don't have a good brain, right?"
Yi Zhan was furious: "You..."
He was about to make another move when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Hua Shi next to him, and then looked at Xuan Shuzhi who had a grim expression. His expression suddenly changed, and even the hand holding the token became a little unsteady: "Is it really... this token?"
Xuan Shuzhi stopped and said, "What do you think?"
Yi Zhan suddenly turned around and looked at Hua Shi: "Is this your token? Where did you get it from?"
Hua Shi was originally enjoying the fun, but he didn't know why he suddenly became the center of the topic. Facing Yi Zhan who seemed to be very emotional, he took two steps back carefully before nodding and saying, "It's mine, I..."
He then looked at his master for help, and Xuan Shuzhi slowly explained what Hua Shi had said to him before.
The room was suddenly silent, with only Xuan Shuzhi's voice remaining.
After a long time, Xuan Shuzhi finally finished his words and said, "Now you should know the reason. This thing is not yours, why don't you return it to him?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Shi nodded repeatedly and looked at Yi Zhan eagerly.
Even Jiang Tingwan, who had just been untied in the corner, was looking at him provocatively, grinning where Xuan Shuzhi couldn't see.
Yi Zhan was being stared at by several people, and he didn't know what he was guarding against. He looked around for several times before finally showing a helpless expression and throwing the token back to Hua Shi: "Okay, here you go."
He watched Hua Shi catch the token, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked, "By the way, I heard from Yu Xing that you were attacked by Jiang Tingwan in Frost Forest Valley, and you saved them, right? You don't look very strong, how did you save people from Jiang Tingwan?"
Hua Shi didn't expect that he would actually ask such a question. Seeing that Xuan Shuzhi seemed to be curious and had no intention of answering for him, he held the token and put it away despite Jiang Tingwan's disturbance. Then he said, "Well, it's not actually me who saved them. This is what really saved them."
As he said this, he took out the Yunxiu pen he carried with him and handed it to the two of them: "This is a space magic weapon. I took them to hide in the magic weapon temporarily, so I escaped."
"Space magic weapon?" Yi Zhan looked at the Yunxiu pen carefully, frowning as if he had thought of something. Hua Shi was about to take the thing back, but he suddenly called out and said thoughtfully: "Is this thing... is it the heavenly magic weapon that we took out from a certain ancient monument and was later snatched away by Lingdao? Is there a monster guarding this space?"
Hua Shi didn't know the origin of the Yunxiu Pen, but when he heard Yi Zhan talking about the monster beast, he couldn't help but say: "There is no monster beast in it, only..."
When Xuan Shuzhi heard Yi Zhan mention it, he also recalled it. He glanced at the Yunxiu pen and nodded, "It is indeed it." He then asked Hua Shi, "You said there is no monster in it? What is in it?"
Hua Shi was suddenly speechless.
He had just said it carelessly, but now that he thought about it, he naturally couldn't reveal the existence of the system, so he could only change his words and say, "There is a courtyard inside, and there is a butler guarding the courtyard."
"Butler?" Yi Zhan asked suspiciously, "Is there such a thing? Why don't I remember it?"
Hua Shi nodded repeatedly.
Xuan Shuzhi stared at Hua Shi for a long while, and suddenly spoke up for Hua Shi, "What's so strange about this? A thousand years have passed outside of us, and it's normal to experience many changes in the illusion."
Hua Shi quickly said: "That's right..."
Before he could finish his words, Xuan Shuzhi turned around and said to him, "But I'm very curious about this magic weapon. Can you take me to the world of this heavenly magic weapon?"
