In one place, not far from the high mountains, two figures were closely intertwined.
Chu Xi hugged "Mu Ci" tightly in his arms. There was a hint of struggle between his eyebrows. His eyes were tightly closed, locking away all the confusion.
The white clothes fluttered and tangled together in the wind.
"Mu Ci" stabbed the man who held her in his arms with the dagger in his hand.
Chu Xi groaned, but there was no other reaction.
As if he had sensed something, "Mu Ci" buried his face in his arms, with a complicated look on his face, and mercilessly pulled out the dagger that had stabbed into Chu Xi's back.
"Mu Ci" raised his head slightly from his arms, his voice without any fluctuation, as if he was just a dead object like a corpse, speaking lightly.
"Why don't you hide?"
Chu Xi was still in the same posture as before, holding the person in his arms, without any movement, as if the dagger that had just stabbed into his back had never appeared. However, the piercing pain in his back kept coming in waves, clearly reminding him that his feelings were real.
In his new life, almost nothing has changed. The only thing that has changed and occupied almost every position in his life is that woman.
"Because I want to understand something."
Chu Xi's answer was ambiguous, as if he was talking to "Mu Ci", but also as if he was talking to himself.
"What is it?"
"Mu Ci" her eyes were still calm as always, she raised her eyes and asked.
When the dagger pierced the back of the man in front of me, no, perhaps it can be said that from the very beginning, from the moment he stepped into this illusion formation, this man remained awake the entire time.
The initial stage of the illusion mobilized past memories in the person's heart. This man looked coldly at the betrayals that happened to him in his previous life, his heart was not moved at all, and there was even a hint of mockery on the corners of his mouth.
It seemed that in his eyes, there was nothing worthy of his attention, no matter whether it was superb strength or the temptation of various magic weapons and beauties, or even painful betrayal and people's evil intentions, Chu Xi's heart would not change the slightest.
After being reborn, his heart had become hardened and cold.
However, he calculated everything, but he missed one thing, that is his master, this person who appeared out of nowhere and at no time.
At the end of the illusion, when the familiar simple house appeared, Chu Xi's heart began to waver slowly, but his consciousness remained clear.
He allowed the illusion to change, or even allowed himself to change, following the illusion and the appearance of his master, and spent his days at White Mist Mountain bit by bit.
Daily greetings, daily guidance and practice, although all of this seems so boring, it is very precious to Chu Xi at this moment. He misses all of this happening and cherishes every scene before his eyes.
I have never felt such peace and warmth before. The feeling in my heart cannot deceive anyone.
But he still needs to confirm one thing.
The scene in the illusion changed. Chu Xi sat in the guest seats, looking at the person she had always cared about, the person she had been thinking about, wearing the bright red wedding dress, and then smiled faintly at the people around her.
The scene was extremely dazzling.
Until he followed his heart and pulled the person away, until the dagger pierced his back as he expected, Chu Xi finally made up his mind.
He holds this person at the top of his heart, so he doesn't want anyone to take her away.
Chu Xi opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes no longer showed the struggle and confusion from before, but an unprecedented firmness.
And at this moment, the person in my arms just now gradually turned into scattered stars and disappeared from the spot bit by bit.
A white mist suddenly appeared, then disappeared again with a bang.
Everything that had just happened, including the seemingly real and illusory mountains, gradually disappeared at this moment.
Although there was a trace of blood at the corner of Chu Xi's mouth, he slightly raised the corner of his lips as he looked at everything in front of him.
Everything that happened in the illusion before was a formation. Both the scene and the creatures were the fantasy and obsession of the person entering the formation.
Now the illusion is broken! He has understood what he was thinking.
Just as Chu Xi turned around, he saw a familiar figure flying not far away. As the figure got closer and closer, his pupils shrank slightly, filled with surprise.
"Master... Master?" Chu Xi stared blankly at the person who appeared in front of him, with disbelief in his eyes.
Mu Ci, the usually cold and arrogant Baiwu Venerable who wore white clothes and looked spotless, now stood here with a ferocious look. The white clothes he originally wore when he went out had now become a little tattered, with even a stain of blood on his shoulder and slightly dirty sleeves. A few strands of black hair were also scattered and jumped out.
As soon as Mu Ci stood still, he grabbed Chu Xi's hand and injected spiritual power into it, checking his current physical condition bit by bit.
Master, are you... injured?
Although getting injured in the secret realm was inevitable, Chu Xi had never imagined that the cold and arrogant Venerable Bai Wu, who seemed to be omnipotent, would end up like this.
"You have suffered serious internal injuries. I will take good care of you when you get back. It is better for you to use less spiritual power recently. What happened to you? Why didn't you pay more attention?"
After Mu Ci finished his investigation, he frowned and looked a little annoyed.
Chu Xi listened to her worry with a hint of blame, and compared with before, his mood had changed drastically. Chu Xi not only did not feel angry about what Mu Ci said, but even felt a little warm in his heart, with a hint of sweetness and sourness rippling in his heart.
It seemed that if he were to suffer a more serious injury again, he would be willing to do it.
But...
Chu Xi's sight fell on the glaring bloodstain on Mu Ci's shoulder, and his eyes darkened.
"Master was not paying attention, how did he get hurt?"
It was hard to tell what the deeper meaning behind Chu Xi's words was, but it was very subtle, filled with worry, guilt, and unwilling hatred.
Mu Ci was stunned for a moment by his words, and the feeling in his heart was a little complicated, as if he had returned to the previous world and felt the same way when Bai Luoxi said this.
Although the hero in this world looks a little youthful, is he still the same person?
Even the words that concern people sound strange.
"I'm fine, just a few minor injuries, no problem. I just encountered people sent by the headmaster to assassinate me. They were all low-level cultivators, and I have dealt with them all."
Mu Ci explained simply.
She locked the souls of those people and was not worried that they would follow her again, so there was nothing wrong with mentioning this matter to Chu Xi at this moment. She could also remind him in advance that in the future when he is in the sect, he must always be wary of the people from the sect leader's faction.
Chu Xi heard her words, but had another idea.
So was this the reason why she had to part ways with him before? Moreover, since they were all low-level cultivators, why were they so seriously injured?
He had secretly checked the wound when Mu Ci held his hand just now. The wound did not seem to be serious to the naked eye, but it seemed to be eroding her mental strength bit by bit inside, amplifying the pain infinitely.
Is this the person sent by the master?
Oh, what a cruel method!
"Master, let's go back!"
Chu Xi suddenly said.
Mu Ci glanced at him and felt that this guy was getting more and more comfortable calling him "Master".
However, why did he want to go back before he had even finished exploring the secret realm? After finally arriving at the secret realm, the hero's halo hadn't come into play yet, and he hadn't encountered any magic weapons, artifacts, or even spirit beasts yet?
Mu Ci was confused: "You probably haven't experienced much, so your strength is still limited. If you are worried about not being able to use your spiritual power, I can just help you recuperate your body. Although the effect may not be that good, compared to experience, it is not a big deal, so you don't have to worry."
"But Master, I feel uncomfortable, but I can't tell where I feel uncomfortable. Am I injured in other ways? There is no rush for the secret realm training. How about we go back and check if I am injured in other places? I can't tell at the moment."
Chu Xi's eyes flashed, then he reached out and tugged at Mu Ci's sleeve, and spoke very seriously.
Mu Ci was startled by what he said, his eyes fell on Chu Xi's face which was really pale, and he suddenly felt extremely uneasy.
Could it be that something really happened?
Mu Ci had no choice but to agree.
The corners of Chu Xi's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes were filled with a look of triumph.
Although there are many healing elixirs in the Qiankun bag, they are not as good as recuperation in the mountains. Besides, he doesn't need any experience in this secret realm. He has long looked down upon the things in it and has gained experience in his previous life. There is no need for Mu Ci to wander around in this secret realm with him while suffering injuries.
Besides, he didn't want to run into Bai Anwu's gang.
The master and disciple left the secret realm just like that. Although on the way back, they were stared at by many monks in the sect with surprise, pity and even contempt, but Chu Xi and Mu Ci were not the kind of people who cared about other people's eyes.
But after returning to the mountain and calling for the divine doctor, the number of people being treated seemed to be mixed up.
"Who of you wants to see the wound?"
"Master! It's my master who wants to see her. Immortal Doctor, please help me take a look. Her shoulder seems to be seriously injured."
Mu Ci was confused. Wasn't he supposed to find out what was wrong with him? How did it become her?
She was about to say something, but was stopped by Chu Xi.
"Master, you know this immortal doctor. He doesn't like people talking to him when he's treating injuries." Chu Xi transmitted the message directly.
Mu Ci was fooled by him just like that.
The main thing was that the injury on her shoulder, although not particularly serious, was eroding her mental strength bit by bit. It was very painful, extremely painful, the kind that was unbearable. If Mu Ci had not suffered many injuries a hundred times more painful than this in the previous mission world, she probably would not have been able to bear it.
Afterwards, the doctor examined the injury, prescribed medicine, told some precautions, and then left.
For a period of time afterwards, Chu Xi used Mu Ci's injury as an excuse to help with almost everything himself, and he managed the huge Baiwu Mountain in perfect order.
Mu Ci suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little unfair to him.
The reason why he accepted Bai Anwu as his disciple was that he wanted to let Bai Anwu take over the position of the head of Baiwu Mountain. As for why he considered Chu Xi, it was naturally because he was the male protagonist. He would take other paths in the future and would not stay in this sect for long.
So she didn't think too much about it. Now that she found that Chu Xi had taken such good care of Baiwu Mountain, she felt that she seemed to have done something wrong.
No matter what Chu Xi's future path is, she should give him this opportunity.
The door to the secret realm closed and Bai Anwu returned.
When he stood there, Mu Ci felt that there was something different about him.
Although Bai Anwu was still the same as usual, practicing as usual and greeting his master as usual, Mu Ci felt that he was different.
But before she could study it in detail, the head of the sect threw a difficult question at her.
The God of War sent a group of people over, and the leader required all the masters of the mountains to be present and bring their own disciples.
When Mu Ci received this news, he felt a sense of crisis.
She didn't call Chu Xi, but called Bai Anwu to go to the main hall together. Mu Ci always felt that the headmaster was planning something for this invitation. After all, the people he sent out last time in the secret realm not only failed to deal with her secretly, but also killed a lot of cultivators. He hasn't done anything strange in recent days, so he is probably preparing a big move.
When Mu Ci arrived at the main hall and saw Bing Ningqing standing in the center of the hall, he suddenly had a guess in his mind, but it was not very clear.
When she just appeared in the hall, Bing Ningqing glanced in her direction, as if she was looking for someone, but she didn't seem to care about anyone in particular.
After all the venerable peak masters were formally seated, the headmaster began to talk about business.
"I called everyone here to officially announce a piece of good news."
The headmaster stopped talking and glanced at Mu Ci calmly, then looked at Bai Anwu standing next to him and frowned.
"This time, the Wushen Sect specially sent Fairy Bingchen and her disciples to show their sincerity in joining forces with our sect. Fairy Bingchen specifically wants to become a couple with Chu Xi, the eldest disciple under the name of Venerable Baiwu of our sect."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Ci's face suddenly darkened.
I originally thought that given the way the leader Song Lin behaved, he would not take his grudge against her out on other people, but I didn't expect that this time Song Lin would directly give her such a big one.
I don't know what the reason was this time, but I actually dragged Bing Ningqing and Chu Xi together. However, Mu Ci glanced at Bing Ningqing just now, and she clearly saw that there was no affection in Bing Ningqing's eyes, and there seemed to be only a kind of indifference like a transaction.
"Although this is a matter of great importance regarding the alliance between the two factions, we still need to ask for my opinion. What do you think, Venerable Bai Wu?"
Sect Leader Song Lin turned his gaze to Mu Ci and said with a forced smile.
Then ask Chu Xi, why ask her?
Chu Xi is too weak now, so insignificant that he has no right to speak at all, right?
If it weren't for the last immortal sect competition with Song Qifeng, Song Lin probably wouldn't have remembered an inner sect disciple named Chu Xi.
Mu Ci sneered in his heart, but his face was still expressionless as usual, looking at Song Lin with a cold face, and then replied coldly: "The one who wants to marry Fairy Bingchen is not me, but my eldest disciple. Naturally, I have to ask for his opinion on this matter. Naturally, I can't make the decision for him without permission."
"Fairy Bingchen, the matter of becoming a Taoist couple is of great importance. Of course, it must be based on mutual consent. I will ask my disciple about his opinion later. Fairy Bingchen should understand."
After Mu Ci finished talking to Song Lin, he looked directly at Bing Ningqing without waiting for him to say anything.
She knew what kind of person Bing Ningqing was, so she would definitely not be as shameless as Song Lin and act without authorization.
Bing Ningqing, however, showed no change or emotional fluctuation at all. She still tilted her head slightly, with no other expression on her face except indifference, and even a slight sense of pride. But when she looked at Mu Ci, she restrained herself a little and said.
"Venerable Bai Wu is right. This is a matter of mutual consent. We should ask for the person's opinion."
Seeing this development, Song Lin's eyes turned cold, but he didn't show it on his face. He still maintained the airs of a head of the sect and asked kindly, "Then Venerable Bai Wu, where is your eldest disciple now? Why haven't I seen him?"
"My disciple has been in seclusion for cultivation for a month, and has not come out yet. If you have nothing else to do, you can wait for a while. However, I don't know the exact date. After all, I didn't inform you of this matter in advance. It is understandable that I can't see him now."
Mu Ci said it lightly.
Song Lin was almost mad after hearing this.
You have been in seclusion for a month? Everyone knows that once you start to practice in seclusion, you can't come out for at least a month. Generally, the period of seclusion can be as short as a few months or as long as several decades. You want us to wait here?
Isn't this a clear rejection?
Song Lin was a little annoyed.
He openly and covertly brought up the issue of the alliance between the two factions in front of Mu Ci, but Mu Ci didn't buy it at all.
On the one hand, what happened between the two sects had nothing to do with her, after all, the sect leader was waiting to kick her out of the sect at any time. On the other hand, she was right, it was too inhumane to make the decision without consulting anyone about such a big matter as becoming a Taoist couple.
Mu Ci was so upset when she went back that she didn't notice that when she left the hall, Bai Anwu and one of the leading monks sent by the God of War to discuss matters exchanged glances for a moment.
Chu Xi's retreat was not groundless, but it was not a big retreat. He just encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation and left for a while. Before leaving, Chu Xi also said that he would be back soon, and he must wait for him and be careful not to get too close to Bai Anwu.
Mu Ci returned to his room and began to sort out everything that had happened.
[Mu Ci: Is the system here? Call the system!]
[System: Yes, 054, you haven't called me for a long time. I've been dealing with other things every day. If you hadn't called me from time to time, I would have thought we were not on the same channel.]
[Mu Ci: ...Okay, my mistake. I will yell at you more next time.]
[System: Forget it. I'm already obsessed with the new drama. If you don't have anything to do, you don't have to look for me.]
I want to hit someone! No, I want to hit the system!
Mu Ci thought about many things that had happened recently and asked.
[Mu Ci: I always feel like something is wrong, but I can’t put my finger on it. It’s understandable that the plot has fallen apart because of the arrival of the missioner, but I feel like something has been wrong since the beginning.]
After hearing what she said, the system thought about the new information it had seen before and was a little unsure whether it should tell her the news.
After all, the male protagonist's rebirth can be a big or small matter. We have come this far before, so just continue to move forward according to this feeling. In short, the main mission can be carried out normally. Moreover, the worlds behind 054 are no longer just about completing missions.
It was afraid that if it told this matter, it might affect Mu Ci's judgment and choice.
[System: This is normal. Don’t you remember how your previous world collapsed? Don’t worry. Do you remember what that adult said to you? Follow your heart. And the main quest of this world is just to help the hero strengthen his strength, and then leave this sect. You don’t have to think too much. 054, you can do it. Come on, I believe in you.]
[Mu Ci: Now that he is about to marry someone else, how can he strengthen his strength and leave this sect to explore a wider world?]
The system felt something was wrong in her words, a sour feeling, and suddenly felt relieved. It seemed that Lord Chu Xi's efforts were not in vain, and the 054 guy finally got the hang of it.
[System: The adults told you to follow your heart. Since you think this is wrong and it is likely to affect your main mission, just deal with it immediately and get everything back on track. You don't have to think too much.]
[Mu Ci: Is that so?]
She was a little suspicious.
[System: That's right. The hero probably doesn't want to be tied up by a woman he barely knows. In fact, it might be more straightforward to ask the hero what he wants. After all, the mission is meant for him. No one else can decide for him what he wants to choose.]
After hearing what the system said, Mu Ci suddenly realized something. Although what the system said was not very pleasant to hear, it was indeed the case. No matter who thought about it, it was useless. The person who was finally chosen was Chu Xi.
Chu Xi had been running all the way here, and as soon as he broke through his own bottleneck, he rushed towards Mu Ci with his sword without stopping.
After all, he left Baiwu Mountain, and Bai Anwu was the only one left next to his master. If that cunning Smiling Fox used some tricks to deceive his master, would there still be a place for him in Baiwu Mountain?
When they were about to reach the peak of Baiwu Mountain, Chu Xi tidied his clothes and smoothed his hair. He looked neat and tidy, and his handsome face made him even more outstanding.
He had specially changed into a robe when he came. In short, at this moment Chu Xi did not look dusty at all. Instead, he looked like a leisurely banished immortal who was amazed by the heavens, extremely otherworldly.
When Chu Xi rushed to the Baiwu Peak and then to where Mu Ci was, he saw Mu Ci sitting at a stone table under the green willow trees, drinking tea leisurely. Next to her, Bai Anwu was standing next to her with a faint smile on his lips.
It seemed that he said something funny. Mu Ci, who usually didn't like to laugh, actually curled the corners of his lips slightly and chuckled.
Chu Xi's eyes suddenly darkened and his face became cold.
"Master."
Those two cold and hard words, the voice clearly carried with it an infinite longing and hidden affection, but they were spoken just like that, like a sharp sword, directly breaking the atmosphere before their eyes.
Hearing the familiar voice, Mu Ci looked up in surprise, and sure enough, he saw the male protagonist walking towards him step by step.
After not seeing him for a few months, this guy seemed to have grown a lot taller, and his cultivation and strength had obviously improved a lot. He just walked towards this side, and his aura was almost terrifying, with a hint of oppression.
That extremely handsome face seemed to have even more sharp edges and corners, and the whole person looked a lot calmer.
Only at this moment did Chu Xi truly shed his youthfulness.
But the change is so great that the word "Master" just now made her a little scared. She seems to be quite different from the well-behaved and obedient disciple a few months ago.
We've become strangers after just a few months of not seeing each other?
Mu Ci was about to greet him when Chu Xi interrupted him.
"Master, during the time that I was away, you seemed to be doing well, and you and I got along very well."
The words sounded weird, and Mu Ci felt something was very wrong.
"It's not bad."
Both disciples were here, so Mu Ci would not show anything else. He just maintained his usual airs as a master and replied calmly.
"Did your training go smoothly this time? I noticed that your strength has improved a lot. It seems that you have encountered some unexpected gains."
Chu Xi chuckled when he heard this.
He then walked forward, without directly answering Mu Ci's question, but walked directly behind Mu Ci, and with an extremely obvious gesture of declaring possession, he took off his wide and thick robe and put it on Mu Ci.
The movement was extremely familiar, and within that familiarity was a hint of possessiveness.
Chu Xi seemed to have not noticed Bai Anwu standing beside him. He skillfully put clothes on Mu Ci, and said with a doting look in his eyes, "The weather has not been very good recently. It is still a little chilly inside and outside the mountain. Master should be careful not to catch a cold."
Mu Ci was frightened by his sudden intimate behavior, but he was still his master after all, and there were two disciples here. He could not lose face as a cold and arrogant master at any time.
Mu Ci looked calm, as if he could remain unmoved no matter what happened before his eyes.
When Chu Xi saw Mu Ci like this, his heart moved and his throat felt slightly itchy.
Since that time in the secret realm, Chu Xi had spent quite a bit of time with Mu Ci in order to help him recuperate. After such close contact with Mu Ci, he had gradually seen through the soft heart and slightly erratic temperament hidden under the cold and arrogant mask.
Chu Xi chuckled again.
Bai Anwu, who was standing by, had a cold look in his eyes when he saw this, but his face still had that warm and calm look with a smile on his face.
"Brother, your trip seems to be going smoothly, but the time it took is neither long nor short."
Bai Anwu suddenly looked at Chu Xi, then said with a smile.
It looked like they were somewhat happy to welcome back senior brother Chu Xi.
"What do you mean, Junior Brother?"
Chu Xi's eyes were cold, but his face was pretending to be friendly and respectful to his brother, just like Bai Anwu, and he said.
"Of course it means literally, hahahaha, during the time when senior brother was away, a good thing came to me."
Bai Anwu narrowed his eyes and smiled again.
As Chu Xi listened to his words, the storm in his eyes grew more and more violent.
Mu Ci suddenly interrupted the back-and-forth exchange between the two and said, "An Wu, go down first. I will talk to your senior brother about this matter."
When Bai Anwu heard this, he did not refuse. Instead, there was a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes, with an ambiguous meaning. He politely said goodbye to Mu Ci, then turned and left.
After Bai Anwu's figure completely disappeared, Chu Xi sat next to Mu Ci, leaned over, stopped when there was still some distance between him and Mu Ci, then rested one elbow on the table, supported his face with his palm, and just stared at Mu Ci.
He was much taller than Mu Ci, and even with this action, he seemed to be looking down at him. The look in his eyes was extremely complicated, but it never left Mu Ci's body.
"When I was away, Master and others had a little secret. I felt very uncomfortable."
“…”
Who... who is this? Please return my good disciple to me!
Mu Ci's mouth twitched as he heard these ambiguous words in his ears, the meaning of which he was not sure.
And maybe because of the feelings he had towards this guy from the previous few worlds, Chu Xi just stared at her so straight that Mu Ci felt like she couldn't handle it.
However...
What the hell is a little secret? Where does the little secret come from?
The thing is that you were suddenly arranged to get married, and it’s still a little secret?
She felt that she needed to explain, otherwise the guy would continue to misunderstand her.
"Ahem, there is someone who wants to marry you."
Mu Ci pretended to be calm.
Chu Xi's heart skipped a beat and he sat up straight instantly.
Then Mu Ci saw Chu Xi's face turn red in an obvious way. Even when Mu Ci was looking at him in surprise, he suddenly turned his head away with a cold face full of blush.
???
What is this guy doing?
Mu Ci was stunned by his reaction.
Are you so happy to hear this news? This... this guy won't refuse this marriage in another sense, right?
Thinking that Chu Xi would be with other people in the future and would never be by her side again, Mu Ci felt uncomfortable in her heart, as if a heavy stone was pressing down on her, and as painful as if she were being pricked by needles.
“I didn’t expect you to be so…” about this matter. Mu Ci didn’t even bother to introduce himself and stopped talking halfway.
"Master, I..." Chu Xi saw her like this and thought she was shy. Just when he was about to say something, he heard the person in front of him say another sentence.
"The Ice Fairy Bing Ningqing of the Martial God Sect proposed to you a few months ago that she wanted to marry you."
After Mu Ci finished speaking, Chu Xi's face, which was originally flushed, turned pale almost instantly.
"Who... who are you talking about?"
Mu Ci thought he had lost his impression of her, so he added, "The Ice Dust Fairy Bing Ningqing is the fairy we met in the secret realm before."
Chu Xi didn't care whether her name was Bing Ningqing or Bing Ning or anything else. He just wanted to know whether this heartless woman in front of him had agreed to his request or not.
He knew a little about the established rules and regulations of the big sects. He was currently hiding his strength, so with the not-so-good strength he had shown in the sect, he probably wouldn't have the chance to decide his own fate.
So did she agree or not?
"What about you? What's your answer?"
He didn't notice it when Chu Xi said this, and even his voice was shaking a little.
He was not afraid of what this sect might do to him. With his current strength and the forces he had in secret, he could not defeat the entire sect. What he was afraid of was that the person in front of him, the person he wanted to be with, would do something he did not want.
If this were true, he might do something crazy that even he could not expect.
At this moment, Chu Xi stared at Mu Ci with his deep eyes motionlessly.
Seeing his nervous look, Mu Ci suddenly felt unsure about what he meant. So, did he like her or not?
Mu Ci didn't want to think too much anymore, so he came straight to the point and said to Chu Xi: "I didn't say anything. This matter is your business. Although I am your master, I will not make the decision for you about your future life and future partner. You still have to make the choice. No matter which one you choose, I will..."
I support you... The next few words seemed to be stuck on my lips.
Mu Ci looked a little ugly.
"The people from the Martial God Sect left not long ago before you arrived, so you should think about this matter carefully and do what you want. You don't need to consider anything else. I have other things to deal with, so I'll leave first."
Mu Ci stopped talking without even looking at Chu Xi. He stood up, took off his robe and threw it to Chu Xi, then turned around and left.
When Chu Xi heard her say this, he felt relieved. She was worthy of being the master. This was something only she could do.
But I didn't hear the answer I wanted to hear, and I felt a little unhappy.
but……
When Chu Xi looked at his master's obvious fleeing back, the gloom on his face suddenly dissipated a lot. Seeing this, Chu Xi suddenly became less depressed.
It seems that he is not without hope.
Another place is a mountain at the very edge of this sect.
A man in black, wearing a black robe and a mask, stood there, and in front of him stood another man in black, dressed similarly, half-kneeling there respectfully.
"Young Master, according to your instructions, the people who were sent to lurk in the Martial God Sect have successfully persuaded their leader. Now the alliance between the Martial God Sect and the Songlin Sect is just waiting for the Songlin Sect's response."
"Well, I know this."
The words spoken by the masked man in black robe were very gentle and pleasant to the ear, but the coldness in them seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and make them feel bone-chilling.
"Is everything that follows arranged?"
"Young Master, everything has been arranged. Now we are just waiting for the Songlin Sect to respond. However, no matter what the response is, there will be a rift between the two sects, and then a war between the two sects will begin. When the two sects go to war, we in the Demon Realm will definitely destroy both sects in one fell swoop! The former glory of the Demon Realm will surely reappear again."
"Okay, I will continue to monitor Songlin's every move in Songlin Sect, and everything else will be left to you. You are right, the glory of my demon world will surely reappear again."
"Young Master is wise!"
Boom boom boom——
Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door. Mu Ci opened the door and found that it was Chu Xi standing outside.
She seemed to have not seen him for quite some time. Ever since she turned away and left in front of Chu Xi in a somewhat inappropriate manner, she had been deliberately avoiding him for quite some days.
Because she really didn't know how to face him.
Besides, she really couldn't say anything about this matter. Everything depended on Chu Xi's own opinion. If he was unwilling to refuse, she would support his decision even if it meant going up against the entire Songlin Sect. But if he happily agreed to accept this matter, what should she do?
"Master, you are hiding from me."
Chu Xi stood outside the door and spoke word by word.
He seemed to have been standing outside the door for a long time, with the dampness of the early morning dew on his body. His deep eyes were slightly moist at the moment. He just stood there, looking extremely pitiful.
When Mu Ci saw him like this, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt and heartache that she herself was not even aware of.
"Come in first."
Mu Ci welcomed Chu Xi into the house, then poured him a cup of hot tea to warm him up first.
Chu Xi
